RYAN TIRE & PETROLEUM INC Fuel Terminal, Fort Myers, Florida

RYAN TIRE & PETROLEUM INC is a fuel terminal located in Fort Myers, Florida, within Lee County. The facility plays a role in the regional fuel supply chain, handling petroleum products for distribution. As a fuel terminal, it is part of the broader infrastructure supporting transportation and industrial energy needs in southwest Florida. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including EPA underground storage tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These frameworks mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response planning to mitigate risks associated with petroleum storage and handling. The terminal's NAICS codes (424710 and 424720) indicate involvement in petroleum bulk stations and terminals. Located in a coastal region, the facility's environmental context includes proximity to sensitive water bodies and ecosystems typical of Florida's Gulf Coast. Operational significance lies in its contribution to local fuel availability for transportation, agriculture, and industry, supporting the economic activity of the Fort Myers area.

The facility is situated in a coastal area of southwest Florida, where groundwater and surface water resources are sensitive to petroleum spills. Florida's high water table and porous soils increase the risk of groundwater contamination from leaks. Regulatory compliance with EPA UST and SPCC standards is critical to prevent releases that could impact nearby ecosystems and drinking water supplies.
