ExxonMobil Oil Terminal (Closed) - Portsmouth, New Hampshire Fuel Terminal

The ExxonMobil Oil Terminal, located at 193 Gosling Rd in Portsmouth (Newington), New Hampshire, is a fuel terminal within the United States fuel infrastructure network. Situated in Rockingham County, this facility serves as a key distribution point for petroleum products in the region. As a fuel terminal, the facility handles the storage and transfer of petroleum products, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This includes compliance with Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) requirements. The facility's NAICS code 424710 indicates it is involved in petroleum bulk stations and terminals. The terminal's location near the Piscataqua River and the Port of Portsmouth places it in an area with significant industrial and maritime activity. While the facility is listed as operational, its closure status suggests it may no longer be active. The site's environmental management would have focused on spill prevention, secondary containment, and groundwater monitoring to protect local water resources.

The terminal is situated in an industrial area near the Piscataqua River, a tidal estuary that flows into the Gulf of Maine. This proximity to sensitive aquatic environments necessitates robust spill prevention and secondary containment measures. The site's history as a fuel terminal means that soil and groundwater monitoring are critical to detect any potential releases from underground storage tanks or piping.
