HESS SERVICE STATION #30311 - Fuel Terminal in Toms River, New Jersey

HESS SERVICE STATION #30311 is a fuel terminal located at 1879 Hooper Avenue in Toms River, Ocean County, New Jersey. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 447110 (Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores) and 000447, indicating its role as a retail fuel outlet. Toms River is a coastal community in central New Jersey, and this station provides gasoline and diesel to local residents and travelers along Hooper Avenue, a major thoroughfare. As a retail fuel station, the facility stores gasoline and diesel in underground storage tanks (USTs). In the United States, such facilities are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the UST regulations (40 CFR Part 280) and state-level programs. New Jersey has its own UST regulations enforced by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). The station likely operates with modern spill prevention and overfill protection equipment, and must comply with vapor recovery requirements to reduce emissions. This facility serves as a critical refueling point for the Toms River area, supporting local transportation and commerce. Its location near the Jersey Shore means it may experience seasonal demand fluctuations. The station's operational status ensures continued fuel availability for the community, contributing to the regional fuel infrastructure network.

The facility is situated in a suburban area near the Barnegat Bay estuary, a sensitive coastal ecosystem. Underground storage tanks pose a risk of gasoline and diesel leaks, which could contaminate groundwater and nearby waterways. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection requires secondary containment and leak detection for USTs to mitigate spill risks. Vapor recovery systems help reduce volatile organic compound emissions, protecting air quality in this densely populated region.
