TARGA BALTIMORE TERMINAL - Fuel Terminal in Baltimore, Maryland

TARGA BALTIMORE TERMINAL is a fuel terminal located at 1955 Chesapeake Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. As part of the United States fuel infrastructure, it operates under federal and state regulations governing petroleum storage and handling. The terminal is situated in an industrial area near the Patapsco River, providing access to maritime and rail transport. The facility operates under US EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules, which require secondary containment and spill response plans. Its NAICS code 424710 indicates petroleum bulk stations and terminals. Typical fuel terminals of this scale handle multiple products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, with storage capacities ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of barrels. This terminal plays a key role in the regional fuel supply chain, serving the Baltimore metropolitan area and beyond. Its location near the Chesapeake Bay requires careful environmental management to protect sensitive aquatic ecosystems. The facility contributes to energy security and economic activity in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The terminal is located in an industrial port area adjacent to the Patapsco River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay. This estuarine environment supports diverse marine life and is sensitive to hydrocarbon spills. Regulatory compliance with SPCC and UST rules is critical to prevent releases. Secondary containment systems and regular inspections help mitigate spill and vapor risks.
