IMPERIAL BEACH CITY OF is a fuel terminal located at 495 Tenth Street in Imperial Beach, California, within San Diego County. The facility is operational and plays a role in the local fuel infrastructure network, supporting the region's energy needs. As a fuel terminal in the United States, the facility operates under federal regulations including the EPA's Underground Storage Tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These frameworks mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response planning to mitigate environmental risks associated with fuel storage and handling. The terminal's location in a coastal urban area near the US-Mexico border underscores its importance for regional fuel distribution. Its proximity to sensitive receptors such as residential areas and the Tijuana River Estuary necessitates robust environmental management practices to prevent spills and vapor emissions.

The facility is situated in a coastal urban environment near the Tijuana River Estuary, a sensitive ecological area. Fuel terminals in such settings face risks of spills and vapor releases, which could impact local waterways and air quality. Regulatory compliance with SPCC and UST standards is critical to minimize these risks through secondary containment and monitoring.
