HARVEY Fuel Terminal - Harvey, Louisiana | United States Fuel Infrastructure

HARVEY is a fuel terminal situated at 1738 Peters Rd in Harvey, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. As part of the United States fuel infrastructure network, it handles the storage and distribution of petroleum products, supporting local and regional supply chains. The facility is operational and plays a role in the broader energy logistics of the Gulf Coast region. Operating under U.S. regulatory frameworks, the facility must comply with EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS codes (211111 for crude petroleum extraction and 424710 for petroleum bulk stations) indicate involvement in both upstream and midstream activities. The facility's location in Harvey, near the Mississippi River and the Port of New Orleans, positions it within a major industrial and transportation corridor. Its operational status ensures continued support for fuel demand in the region, contributing to energy security and economic activity. The terminal's proximity to sensitive water bodies necessitates robust environmental safeguards.

The facility is located in a region with high groundwater sensitivity and proximity to the Mississippi River, requiring stringent spill prevention measures. Secondary containment systems and regular integrity testing are critical to prevent soil and water contamination. The local climate, with hurricane risks, adds operational challenges for storm preparedness and containment integrity.
