PRO OIL BULK PLANT - Fuel Terminal in Sidney, Nebraska

PRO OIL BULK PLANT is a fuel terminal located at 11574 US Highway 30 in Sidney, Nebraska, within Cheyenne County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 424710 for petroleum bulk stations and terminals. As a fuel terminal, it serves as a key distribution point for petroleum products in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, specifically the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations 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 plant's scale is typical for a rural fuel terminal serving agricultural and transportation needs in western Nebraska. This fuel terminal plays a significant role in the local fuel supply chain, supporting agricultural operations, transportation, and residential heating in the Sidney area. Its location along US Highway 30 provides efficient access for distribution. The facility's compliance with federal regulations helps ensure safe handling and storage of petroleum products, reducing the risk of soil and groundwater contamination.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Nebraska, where groundwater is a critical resource for agriculture and drinking water. Fuel terminals in this area must manage spill and vapor risks through secondary containment and leak detection systems. The proximity to the Ogallala Aquifer, a major groundwater source, underscores the importance of robust environmental safeguards. The plant's location along a major highway also requires careful management of potential runoff and emergency response planning.
