GRAVES OIL REMEDIATION SITE - Fuel Terminal in Farmington, New Mexico

GRAVES OIL REMEDIATION SITE is a fuel terminal located at 761 South Miller Avenue in Farmington, San Juan County, New Mexico. The facility operates within the United States fuel infrastructure sector, handling petroleum products for local and regional distribution. As a fuel terminal, it plays a key role in the supply chain for the Four Corners region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The NAICS code 424710 indicates petroleum bulk stations and terminals, typical of facilities that store and distribute refined petroleum products. The site's location in Farmington places it within an area with significant oil and gas activity, serving both industrial and community fuel needs. Its operational status ensures continued support for local energy demands while adhering to federal safety and environmental standards.

The facility is situated in the arid climate of northwestern New Mexico, where water resources are limited and sensitive. Fuel terminals in this region must implement robust spill prevention and secondary containment measures to protect groundwater and nearby surface waters. The proximity to the San Juan River and agricultural areas heightens the importance of vapor recovery systems and regular leak detection inspections to minimize environmental impact.
