STURDY OIL COMPANY Fuel Terminal - Pajaro, California

STURDY OIL COMPANY is a fuel terminal located at 33 Associated Lane in Pajaro, California, within Monterey County. The facility is operational and serves as a key node in the local fuel supply chain, handling storage and distribution of petroleum products. As a fuel terminal in the United States, the facility operates under federal and state regulations including EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. California imposes additional stringent standards for vapor recovery and secondary containment to protect groundwater and air quality. The terminal plays a vital role in meeting the fuel demands of the Pajaro Valley and surrounding agricultural and industrial sectors. Its location near major transportation routes facilitates efficient distribution while requiring careful environmental management to mitigate spill risks.

The facility is situated in the Pajaro Valley, an agriculturally intensive region with sensitive groundwater resources. Fuel terminals in this area must implement robust secondary containment and leak detection systems to prevent soil and water contamination. The proximity to the Pajaro River and Monterey Bay further underscores the need for stringent spill prevention measures.
