Eastern Terminal Ventures Inc Fuel Terminal, Jersey City, New Jersey

Eastern Terminal Ventures Inc is a fuel terminal located at 195 Howell Street in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey. The facility is operational and plays a key role in the regional fuel infrastructure, serving the densely populated New York metropolitan area. As a fuel terminal, it is part of a network that stores and distributes petroleum products to downstream markets. The facility operates under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These frameworks require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS codes (23891, 424710, 531190) indicate involvement in petroleum bulk stations and terminals, as well as related real estate activities. Located in an urban industrial area near the Hudson River, the terminal's operations are significant for local fuel supply but also require careful environmental management. Proximity to sensitive receptors such as residential areas and waterways necessitates robust safety measures. The facility's role in the regional fuel grid supports transportation, heating, and industrial sectors in New Jersey and beyond.

The facility is situated in a densely urbanized area of Jersey City, near the Hudson River and within the New York-Newark metropolitan region. Fuel terminals in such settings face heightened spill and vapor risks due to high population density and proximity to waterways. Secondary containment systems, vapor recovery units, and regular inspections are critical to prevent releases. The local environmental context includes potential impacts on air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the need to protect the Hudson River ecosystem from potential fuel spills.
