Blackgold Transport Inc Refined Product Pipeline, Calexico, California

Blackgold Transport Inc is a refined product pipeline facility located at 233 Campillo St, Calexico, California, in Imperial County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486910, which covers pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products. As a refined product pipeline, it plays a role in the distribution of gasoline, diesel, and other fuels within the region. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and must comply with 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. This includes requirements for corrosion control, emergency response plans, and integrity management programs. The pipeline's location in a border city near the U.S.-Mexico border adds logistical considerations for cross-border fuel transport. Refined product pipelines are critical for supplying fuel to communities and industries. The Calexico area relies on such infrastructure for transportation fuels, supporting local economic activity and mobility. The facility's proximity to populated areas necessitates robust safety measures to protect public health and the environment.

The pipeline is located in Calexico, a city in the Imperial Valley near the U.S.-Mexico border. The region has an arid climate with agricultural activity, and the pipeline crosses areas that may be near waterways or sensitive habitats. The transport of refined products poses risks of spills, which could impact soil and water resources. Regulatory requirements under PHMSA mandate leak detection and spill response plans to mitigate environmental harm.
