Underground Storage Tanks in Jackson County, MS — 316 facilities, 217 leak records
What the EPA UST Finder snapshot (2018–2021 state data) shows for Jackson County, population 144,768.
Jackson County has 316 registered underground storage tank facilities in the national snapshot — gas stations, fleet yards, and other regulated fuel sites — holding 344 tanks in service and 617 tanks that have been closed or removed, plus 5 temporarily out of service. Over the life of the program, 217 fuel releases were reported here; 93 (43% of records) were investigated and closed with No Further Action, and 124 of those cleanup cases were still open when the snapshot was compiled.
That works out to 23.8 tanks in service per 10,000 residents, below the Mississippi average of 26.4 per 10,000. Countywide numbers are context, not a verdict on any parcel — tank risk is hyper-local, falling off within a few hundred feet.
