Storage tanks in Plainfield
The Department has 38 facilities on the tank register at a Plainfield address — 0.3% of the state total — carrying 168 tanks, of which 28 are still in use.
What is stored, and where it sits
An address on this register is a place with a regulated tank, not necessarily a filling station. In Plainfield the split is:
| Substance recorded | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 18 | 47.4% |
| Gasoline | 15 | 39.5% |
| Heating Oil(on-site Consumption) | 4 | 10.5% |
| Hazardous Substance | 1 | 2.6% |
4 of them are heating-oil tanks kept for the building above — schools, churches, apartment blocks. They are on the register for the same reason a filling station is, and they surprise people.
Bare steel in Plainfield
25 of the 38 facilities in Plainfield have at least one tank recorded as bare or asphalt-coated steel — 65.8%. That is the construction the federal upgrade rules were written to replace: unprotected steel in wet ground corrodes, and corrosion is how a tank starts leaking.
A bare-steel tank on the record is not a leak and not a breach — many are long closed, and the file records the construction, not the condition. It is simply the one physical fact in these files that bears on risk. Why this is the number worth knowing.
What the Department’s other files record in Plainfield
| Record | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| At least one recorded violation | 9 | 23.7% |
| At least one red-tag entry | 6 | 15.8% |
| At least one enforcement action | 9 | 23.7% |
| At least one reported release | 9 | 23.7% |
These are counts of records, not judgements. A violation entry is one finding at one inspection; a red tag stops deliveries until a problem is fixed and says nothing about today; a release is a report, with no measurement of what was spilled or how far it went. Which facility carries which is on its own record, one search away. What each of these actually is · how a reported release is recorded.
