PETRO ALASKA CARDLOCK AND MARINE FUEL DOCK - Fuel Terminal in Ketchikan, Alaska

PETRO ALASKA CARDLOCK AND MARINE FUEL DOCK is a fuel terminal located at 4161 Tongass Ave in Ketchikan, Alaska, within Ketchikan Gateway County. This facility provides cardlock and marine fuel docking services, supporting the region's maritime and transportation sectors. As a fuel terminal, it plays a key role in distributing petroleum products in southeastern Alaska. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS codes (424710 and 447110) indicate it engages in petroleum bulk stations and terminals as well as gasoline stations with convenience stores. This terminal is strategically located near the Tongass Narrows, a busy waterway for commercial and recreational vessels. Its marine fuel dock supports fishing fleets, cargo ships, and cruise vessels, while the cardlock system provides efficient fueling for local fleets. The facility's operational status ensures reliable fuel supply for Ketchikan's economy, which relies heavily on maritime activities.

Ketchikan's coastal rainforest climate, with high annual precipitation, increases the risk of stormwater runoff and potential spills reaching nearby waterways. The facility's proximity to the Tongass Narrows, a sensitive marine ecosystem, necessitates robust secondary containment and spill prevention measures. Underground storage tanks must comply with US EPA corrosion protection and leak detection requirements to prevent groundwater contamination.
