NGL Supply Terminal Co. submits scaled-down plan for South Portland
NGL Supply Terminal Co. LLC, a liquid propane company on Commercial Street in Portland, is seeking to relocate its operation to a South Portland rail yard and reduce its storage capacity, the Portland Press Herald reported Wednesday.
The company is being forced to move from the Portland waterfront by the state to make room for a refrigerated warehouse planned on a 6.3-acre site at the International Marine Terminal near the Casco Bay Bridge. The Maine Port Authority announced in August it had awarded a bid to build the refrigerated warehouse to Americold, the world’s largest cold-storage company.
NGL, a subsidiary of NGL Energy Partners of Tulsa, Oklahoma, submitted a new site plan to the city of South Portland on Tuesday to build a liquid propane depot at Rigby Yard, near Route 1. The company had submitted a plan in January for six tanks with a total storing capacity of 360,000 gallons, but the city said it wouldn’t be allowed under a city ordinance prohibiting new above-ground storage tanks that hold more than 25,000 gallons.
The new plan calls for a single 24,000-gallon propane storage tank.
