PL MIDSTREAM LLC - CHOCTAW TERMINAL - Fuel Terminal in Plaquemine, Louisiana

PL MIDSTREAM LLC - CHOCTAW TERMINAL is a fuel terminal located in Plaquemine, Iberville Parish, Louisiana. The facility is operational and serves as a key hub for petroleum product storage and distribution in the region. Its location along the Mississippi River provides strategic access for barge and pipeline transport. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response planning to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's NAICS codes (424710 for petroleum bulk stations and terminals, 493190 for other warehousing and storage) indicate its role in both storage and distribution. As part of the broader fuel infrastructure network in Louisiana, this terminal supports the energy supply chain for the Gulf Coast region. Its proximity to major refining and petrochemical complexes underscores its significance in the regional fuel logistics system. The facility's operational status ensures continued contribution to local and national fuel availability.

The terminal is situated in the Mississippi River corridor, an area with sensitive aquatic and wetland ecosystems. Spill prevention and secondary containment are critical given the proximity to waterways. The facility must comply with SPCC requirements to prevent oil discharges and UST regulations to monitor tank integrity and prevent leaks. Vapor recovery systems may be in place to control emissions.
