Plains Marketing LP - Abbeville Truck Shop is a fuel terminal situated at 12817 Pumping Plant Rd in Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The facility is operational and serves as a critical node in the regional fuel supply chain, handling the storage and distribution of petroleum products. As part of the Plains Marketing network, it supports the transportation and logistics needs of the local and broader Gulf Coast market. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which mandates compliance with Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response measures to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's NAICS codes (488490 for other support activities for road transportation and 811111 for general automotive repair) indicate a focus on truck loading and maintenance. Located in the heart of Louisiana's oil and gas region, the Abbeville Truck Shop plays a vital role in distributing fuel to local communities and industries. Its proximity to the Gulf Coast and major pipeline networks enhances its strategic importance. The facility's operational status ensures a steady supply of fuel for transportation, agriculture, and industrial activities in Vermilion Parish and beyond.

The facility is situated in a region with a high water table and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, which increases the risk of groundwater contamination from potential spills. Secondary containment systems, such as double-walled tanks and bermed areas, are critical to prevent releases. The surrounding area includes agricultural lands and residential zones, making spill prevention and vapor recovery essential to protect sensitive receptors.
