Eighty-Eight Terminals North Dakota LLC-Johnsons Corner Terminal - Watford City, ND Fuel Terminal

Eighty-Eight Terminals North Dakota LLC-Johnsons Corner Terminal is a fuel terminal located in Watford City, North Dakota, United States. Situated in McKenzie County, the facility is part of the regional infrastructure supporting petroleum storage and distribution in the Bakken oil-producing region. The terminal is operational and classified under NAICS codes 213111 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations) and 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals). As a fuel terminal, the facility handles the storage and transfer of petroleum products, typically involving aboveground storage tanks and truck loading racks. Operations are subject to federal and state regulations, including the EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules for oil spill prevention and the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program where applicable. The facility's location in a cold climate with seasonal temperature extremes requires robust secondary containment and vapor recovery systems to manage spill and vapor risks. The terminal plays a strategic role in supplying fuel to the local and regional market, supporting transportation, agriculture, and energy production in western North Dakota. Its proximity to the Bakken shale play underscores its importance in the logistics chain for crude oil and refined products. The facility's operational status and capacity contribute to the energy infrastructure resilience in the region.

The terminal is located in a semi-arid region with cold winters and hot summers, near the Little Missouri River and grasslands. Spill and vapor risks are managed through secondary containment, leak detection, and vapor recovery systems typical of modern fuel terminals. Proximity to sensitive receptors such as water bodies and wildlife habitats necessitates rigorous environmental management under SPCC and state regulations.
