The Environmental Protection Agency has fined Crowley Fuels of Alaska more than $1.3 million for violations related to several gasoline bulk fuel storage tanks in Palmer and Southeast Alaska.
The federal regulator announced on Thursday that it estimates that in Juneau alone, some 110,000 pounds of excess gasoline vapors escaped from a tank farm in 2018.
The company has agreed to pay a penalty of $1,337,365.
EPA found that Crowley failed to install vapor emissions controls on the gasoline storage tanks and loading rack at its Juneau terminal in violation of the Clean Air Act. As a result of operating the Juneau terminal without the required controls, EPA estimates that 110,000 pounds of excess gasoline vapors escaped to the environment. Gasoline vapors are a known source of benzene, a known carcinogen, and toluene, which is a central nervous system depressant.
Specifically, the company violated the New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for bulk gasoline terminals at its Juneau terminal by not having air pollution controls to capture vapors released from gasoline storage tanks and a loading rack used to fill tanker trucks.
