PILOT TRAVEL CENTER - MARIANNA Fuel Terminal in Marianna, Florida

PILOT TRAVEL CENTER - MARIANNA is a fuel terminal located at 2209 HIGHWAY 71 in Marianna, Florida, within Jackson County. As part of the Pilot Travel Centers network, this facility serves as a key refueling point for commercial and passenger vehicles along major transport routes in the Florida Panhandle. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks associated with fuel storage and handling. This fuel terminal plays a vital role in supporting regional transportation and logistics, providing reliable fuel access for long-haul trucking and local traffic. Its operational status ensures continued service to the Marianna area and the broader southeastern United States, contributing to the resilience of the regional fuel supply chain.

The facility is situated in a region with a humid subtropical climate, which can increase the risk of corrosion and degradation of storage tanks and piping. Proximity to surface water bodies and groundwater aquifers in the Florida Panheightens the importance of secondary containment and leak detection systems to prevent fuel spills from impacting sensitive ecosystems and drinking water sources.
