Former BP Paulsboro Terminal No 4555 - Fuel Terminal in Paulsboro, New Jersey

Former BP Paulsboro Terminal No 4555 is a fuel terminal situated at 205 Mantua Ave, Paulsboro, New Jersey, in Gloucester County. The facility is operational and serves as a fuel storage and distribution hub within the United States fuel infrastructure network. As a fuel terminal, this facility handles the storage and transfer of petroleum products. It operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which includes Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) requirements. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's location in Paulsboro, near the Delaware River, places it in an industrial corridor with access to major transportation routes. Its role in the local fuel supply chain supports regional energy needs, including transportation and industrial sectors. The facility's operational status contributes to the reliability of fuel distribution in the New Jersey area.

The facility is located in an industrial area near the Delaware River, which is a sensitive waterway. Fuel terminals pose risks of spills and vapor releases, requiring robust secondary containment and leak detection systems. Proximity to the river heightens the need for stringent SPCC measures to prevent water contamination. The surrounding area includes residential zones, making vapor control and emergency response planning critical.
