Plains Pipeline, L.P.-Stanley Fuel Terminal in Harvey, North Dakota

Plains Pipeline, L.P.-Stanley is a fuel terminal located in Harvey, Mountrail County, North Dakota, United States. The facility is part of the Plains Pipeline network, a major operator in the midstream energy sector, and serves as a key hub for fuel storage and distribution in the region. As a fuel terminal, it handles the receipt, storage, and dispatch of petroleum products, supporting local and regional supply chains. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS code 424710 indicates it is classified under petroleum bulk stations and terminals, which typically have storage capacities ranging from small (under 50,000 barrels) to large (over 1 million barrels). Located in the Bakken oil-producing region of North Dakota, this terminal plays a critical role in the transportation and storage of crude oil and refined products. Its operational status ensures continued support for the energy infrastructure in the area, contributing to the reliability of fuel supply for industrial, commercial, and residential consumers. The facility's location in a rural setting with low population density reduces the risk of exposure to sensitive receptors.

The terminal is situated in a rural area of Mountrail County, North Dakota, within the Bakken shale region. The local environment includes agricultural land and prairie ecosystems. Spill and vapor risks are managed through EPA-mandated secondary containment and leak detection systems. Proximity to groundwater resources requires careful monitoring to prevent contamination. Typical terminals in this region use aboveground storage tanks with corrosion protection and overfill prevention.
