SUMMARY
The Facilities Capital Improvements Program (CIP) includes the relocation and replacement of the Hastings fuel island. The current fuel station at the Hastings Transportation Maintenance Facility is nearing the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement. The fuel tanks at this location were installed in 1998, and no other major infrastructure work has occurred at this location since that work was complete. In recent years, it has become difficult to source parts and perform updates on the pumping and metering equipment.
The current fuel island is an underground tank, and there is minimal infrastructure supporting the fuel island in the event of a spill or leak, specifically the full-volume containment basin required by current code. Due to its proximity to the Vermillion River and regulations enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the needed updates to the fuel station could not be done without completely rebuilding the fuel island and surrounding site. Additional storm water treatment systems would need to be installed, a secondary containment system for leaks would need to be put into place, and the aged equipment and tanks would need to be replaced. Additionally, the County has planned to vacate the Hastings Transportation Maintenance Facility for many years and investing in the fuel island in this location would not be economical long term. The main building Facility Condition Index (FCI) is 0.51, placing it squarely in the "Poor" category.
