ED STAUB & SONS PETROLEUMNA INC (CHESTER CARDLOCK) Fuel Terminal in Chester, California

ED STAUB & SONS PETROLEUMNA INC (CHESTER CARDLOCK) is a fuel terminal situated at 690 Highway 36 in Chester, Plumas County, California. This operational facility plays a key role in the regional fuel supply chain, providing storage and distribution services for petroleum products. As a fuel terminal, it serves as a critical node for transferring fuel from larger pipelines or rail to local markets. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including the EPA's Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These frameworks mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. In California, additional state-level requirements from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local fire departments further govern operations. This terminal supports the energy needs of Chester and surrounding communities in Plumas County. Its location in a rural, forested area of Northern California means that spill prevention and vapor recovery are particularly important to protect local water resources and air quality. The facility's operational status ensures continued fuel availability for the region.

The facility is located in a rural area near Lake Almanor and the Lassen National Forest, where groundwater and surface water are sensitive receptors. Spill prevention and secondary containment are critical to protect these resources. The region's wildfire risk also necessitates robust emergency response planning for fuel storage sites.
