MOBIL SERVICE STATION #15C2V ABANDONED - Refinery in Emerson, New Jersey, USA

MOBIL SERVICE STATION #15C2V ABANDONED is a refinery situated at 345 KINDERKAMACK in Emerson, Bergen County, New Jersey. The facility is currently operational and classified under NAICS code 324110, which covers petroleum refineries. As a former Mobil service station, it likely handled fuel storage and distribution, though its current status as an abandoned refinery suggests limited ongoing operations. The facility operates within the United States regulatory framework, including the EPA Clean Air Act Refinery MACT standards and applicable state-level environmental regulations in New Jersey. Given its small scale and abandoned status, it may not be subject to the same stringent requirements as major refineries. The site's location in a suburban area near residential zones implies potential environmental oversight from local authorities. Environmental significance includes the legacy of petroleum handling at the site, which may involve soil and groundwater contamination typical of former service stations. The facility's coastal proximity to the Hackensack River and nearby wetlands raises considerations for spill prevention and remediation. As an abandoned site, it may be subject to state brownfield programs or voluntary cleanup efforts.

The facility is located in Emerson, New Jersey, within the Hackensack River watershed, an area with sensitive wetlands and estuarine habitats. As a former service station and refinery, potential environmental concerns include soil and groundwater contamination from petroleum hydrocarbons, such as BTEX and PAHs. The site's coastal siting increases spill risk to nearby water bodies, necessitating compliance with state and federal remediation programs. The surrounding suburban land use requires careful management of any residual contamination to protect public health and local ecosystems.
