ST. JAMES TERMINAL - Fuel Terminal in St. James, Louisiana

ST. JAMES TERMINAL is a fuel terminal situated in St. James, Louisiana, along the Mississippi River corridor, a major hub for petroleum infrastructure. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals) and 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage), indicating its role in fuel storage and distribution. The terminal operates within the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) requirements. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's location in a region with extensive petrochemical activity subjects it to additional state-level oversight from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. As a fuel terminal, ST. JAMES TERMINAL plays a critical role in the regional fuel supply chain, serving as a storage and distribution point for petroleum products. Its proximity to the Mississippi River and major transportation networks enhances its strategic importance. The facility's operational status and adherence to federal and state regulations ensure it meets safety and environmental standards for fuel handling and storage.

The facility is located in St. James Parish, Louisiana, an area with a high concentration of petrochemical plants and refineries along the Mississippi River. The local environment includes wetlands and waterways sensitive to potential fuel spills. Regulatory frameworks such as the US EPA's SPCC and UST programs require secondary containment and spill prevention measures to protect these receptors. The terminal's operations involve handling petroleum products, which pose risks of vapor emissions and groundwater contamination if containment systems fail.
