NPDES Permits in New England
Gulf Oil Limited Partnership (MA0001091)
The Gulf Oil facility, which is located in Chelsea, Massachusetts,
is engaged in the receipt, storage, and distribution of petroleum
products. The spectrum of fuels handled by this facility consists
of gasoline, distillate products (e.g., diesel, kerosene, and No.2
Fuel Oil), and various product additives. Petroleum products are
received in bulk quantities at the terminal’s marine vessel
dock located on the western shore of the Chelsea River. Product is then transferred
through a supply network to aboveground storage tanks located within the facility’s
tank farm. Final distribution of product is conducted primarily at the facility’s
truck loading rack and on occasion at the marine vessel dock when product is
shipped off-site. The NPDES discharge consists of: treated storm water runoff
from pervious and impervious areas at the facility including the tank farm, loading
rack, and marine vessel dock; and occasionally water used for the hydrostatic
testing of repaired tanks. The storm water and hydrostatic test water discharges
are to the Chelsea River through Outfall 001.
