Of the chemicals reported, 4 are classified as carcinogens, representing 44% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Petroleum Bulk Terminals sector. The primary release pathway is air releases, accounting for 100% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 695 Petroleum Bulk Terminals facilities in this database, Island Energy Services reports the 353rd-largest volume (1.8K lbs). This one site accounts for 58.2% of every pound reported in Nantucket.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
Island Energy Services files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Terminals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2020–2024, the site has disclosed 1.8K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 9 distinct chemicals, 4 of which (44%) carry a carcinogenic classification.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 2.3K lbs (100.0% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 0.0%. Between 2020 and 2024, reported totals decreased by 13% - from 573 lbs to 498 lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Island Energy Services LLC.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Island Energy Services has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
Release quantities are self-reported by the facility and may represent estimates rather than exact measurements. "Total releases" includes releases to air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal. Quantities shown here are aggregated across all available reporting years.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
