MARTIN TERMINAL - SOUTH YARD Fuel Terminal in Golden Meadow, Louisiana

MARTIN TERMINAL - SOUTH YARD is a fuel terminal situated at 365 A J ESTAY RD in Golden Meadow, Louisiana, within Lafourche Parish. The facility is operational and plays a role in the storage and distribution of petroleum products in the region. As a fuel terminal, it is part of the broader fuel infrastructure network that supports transportation, industrial, and commercial activities in southern Louisiana. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the EPA's 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 (213112 and 424710) indicate involvement in support activities for oil and gas operations and petroleum bulk stations and terminals. Located near the Gulf Coast, the terminal is in an area with extensive oil and gas infrastructure. Its proximity to sensitive coastal ecosystems, including wetlands and estuaries, underscores the importance of robust environmental safeguards. The facility contributes to the local economy by enabling efficient fuel distribution to downstream markets.

The terminal is situated in a region characterized by coastal wetlands and estuarine environments, which are sensitive to hydrocarbon spills. The facility's operations involve storage and transfer of fuels, posing risks of spills and vapor releases. Regulatory compliance with SPCC and UST requirements is critical to prevent contamination of nearby water bodies and habitats. Secondary containment systems and regular monitoring are essential to mitigate these risks.
