A use permit for Redding Oil Company to open a fuel transfer facility is making its way through city hall, Anderson Planning Director John Stokes said last week. The company looks to move its south Redding bulk fuel transfer operations to a planned $750,000 complex on Hersch Court off Ox Yoke Drive in Anderson, Redding Oil Company president Jack Reiser said.
The company's main office would remain in Redding, Reiser said, adding that he hoped the new facility would be operational in the fall of 2010.
The transfer facility would include three, above-ground 20,000 gallon tanks to store gasoline and diesel fuel the company trucks-in from Sacramento or the Bay Area. The company then sends out smaller tankers to deliver fuel to customers such as service stations and farm tanks, a chore that has been the Reiser family business since 1939 when the founders delivered petroleum, Reiser said.
Reiser estimated four to six truck trips per day from the facility would continue to move the 120,000 gallons of fuel per month that the company distributes across the north state.
Redding Oil Company also operates the Valero gas station on the corner of Balls Ferry and McMurry Road in Anderson, Reiser said.
