In a recent government meeting, officials discussed critical updates regarding fuel storage and safety measures at a local facility. The meeting highlighted the current operational needs of the site, which employs 13 personnel and includes a vehicle station.

A significant point of discussion was the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan, which revealed that the facility's current fuel storage capacity stands at 15,151,584 gallons, with an additional oil storage of 2,081 gallons. The previous approval mistakenly did not account for existing fuel storage, leading to confusion about the total capacity. It was clarified that the facility will be increasing its total fuel storage to 54,458 gallons, with an additional 36,000 gallons being added to the existing capacity.

The board emphasized the importance of updating the spill prevention plan to reflect these changes accurately. The application for the site plan, which includes a variance for the increased fuel storage capacity, was ultimately approved. The board also noted that four parking spaces would be removed to accommodate the new fuel storage requirements.

The resolution for the application will be finalized and mailed within ten days, allowing the facility to proceed with obtaining necessary zoning and construction permits. The discussions underscored the ongoing commitment to safety and operational efficiency as the facility prepares for future needs.
