MOBIL BOOSTER STATION Fuel Terminal in Torrance, California

MOBIL BOOSTER STATION is a fuel terminal situated at 19200 Prairie Ave, Torrance, California, within Los Angeles County. As part of the United States fuel infrastructure, it plays a role in the storage and distribution of petroleum products in the region. The facility operates under U.S. EPA regulations, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. Fuel terminals in California are also subject to state-specific environmental and safety standards, such as those enforced by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local fire departments. This terminal contributes to the energy supply chain for the Torrance area and the broader Los Angeles basin. Its operational status ensures continued support for local fuel demand, while regulatory compliance helps mitigate environmental risks associated with fuel storage and handling.

Located in an urbanized area of Torrance, the facility is near residential and commercial zones. Fuel terminals pose risks of spills and vapor emissions, requiring secondary containment and vapor recovery systems. Proximity to sensitive receptors like schools and hospitals necessitates strict adherence to safety protocols. The local climate, with mild temperatures and low rainfall, reduces some weathering of spills but does not eliminate the need for robust containment measures.
