GRAINLAND COOPERATIVE - C-STORE Fuel Terminal in Haxtun, Colorado

GRAINLAND COOPERATIVE - C-STORE is a fuel terminal situated at 105 East Strohm Street in Haxtun, Colorado, within Phillips County. This facility is part of the Grainland Cooperative network and serves as a key distribution point for petroleum products in the region. As a fuel terminal, it stores and transfers fuels such as gasoline and diesel to support local agricultural and commercial activities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which mandates compliance with Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to minimize environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS codes (424710, 447110, 457110) indicate its involvement in petroleum bulk stations and terminals, gasoline stations, and fuel dealers. GRAINLAND COOPERATIVE - C-STORE plays a vital role in the fuel supply chain for northeastern Colorado, supporting the agricultural economy and local transportation needs. Its location in a rural area means it serves as a critical infrastructure point for farmers and residents, ensuring reliable access to fuel. The facility's operational status underscores its ongoing contribution to the community's energy needs.

The facility is located in a rural agricultural area of northeastern Colorado, where the primary environmental concerns include potential soil and groundwater contamination from fuel spills or leaks. The region's semi-arid climate and reliance on groundwater for irrigation make spill prevention and secondary containment critical. The facility must comply with EPA UST and SPCC regulations to mitigate risks to nearby sensitive receptors, such as agricultural wells and the South Platte River watershed.
