DAVE DOWNS CO Fuel Terminal in Cudahy, California

DAVE DOWNS CO is a fuel terminal situated at 4539 CECELIA ST in Cudahy, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility is operational and plays a role in the local fuel supply chain, supporting the distribution of petroleum products in the greater Los Angeles area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including requirements for Underground Storage Tanks (UST) and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans. As a fuel terminal, it handles significant volumes of fuel, necessitating robust secondary containment and vapor recovery systems to mitigate spill and vapor risks. Given its location in a densely populated urban area of Southern California, the terminal's environmental management practices are critical. The facility's proximity to sensitive receptors such as residential zones and schools underscores the importance of compliance with local air quality and water protection regulations. Its operational status contributes to the region's energy infrastructure, supporting transportation and industrial activities.

The facility is situated in an urbanized area of Los Angeles County, where fuel terminals face heightened scrutiny due to potential spill and vapor risks. Secondary containment systems and vapor recovery units are essential to prevent soil and groundwater contamination. The local climate, with its dry summers and mild winters, can influence the dispersion of volatile organic compounds, making emission controls particularly important.
