Irvington Generating Station Fuel Terminal in Tucson, Arizona

Irvington Generating Station is a fuel terminal located at 3950 E Irvington Road in Tucson, Pima County, Arizona. The facility is operational and serves the local energy infrastructure needs of the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which includes requirements for Underground Storage Tanks (UST) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans. These regulations are designed to prevent leaks and spills, protect groundwater, and ensure safe fuel handling. As a fuel terminal in the arid Southwest, the facility plays a key role in supplying fuel for power generation and other uses. Its location in an urban area near Tucson requires robust environmental safeguards to protect local communities and ecosystems from potential fuel spills or vapor releases.

The facility is located in the Sonoran Desert, an arid region with sensitive ecosystems. Proximity to urban Tucson increases the importance of secondary containment and vapor recovery systems to prevent soil and groundwater contamination. The US EPA's UST and SPCC regulations provide a framework for managing these risks, including leak detection and emergency response planning.
