MFA Bulk Plant-Unionville Fuel Terminal in Unionville, Missouri

MFA Bulk Plant-Unionville is a fuel terminal located at 310 South 23rd Street in Unionville, Putnam County, Missouri. The facility is operational and plays a key role in distributing fuel to the surrounding agricultural region. As a bulk plant, it stores and transfers petroleum products for local farms and businesses. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to protect groundwater and soil. The plant's storage capacity and tank specifications are typical for a rural bulk plant serving a small community. MFA Bulk Plant-Unionville is part of the MFA Incorporated network, a major agricultural cooperative in the Midwest. The facility supports the local economy by providing reliable fuel access for farming operations and transportation. Its location in northern Missouri places it in a region with significant agricultural activity, making fuel infrastructure critical for crop production and livestock operations.

The facility is situated in a rural area of northern Missouri, where agriculture is the primary land use. The local environment includes croplands and pastures, with groundwater resources that are sensitive to potential fuel spills. The US EPA's UST and SPCC regulations mandate secondary containment and monitoring to prevent leaks. The plant's proximity to agricultural fields means any release could impact soil and water quality, but compliance with federal standards mitigates these risks.
