Magellan Pipeline - Scott City Products Breakout Terminal: Fuel Terminal in Scott City, Kansas

Magellan Pipeline - Scott City Products Breakout Terminal is a fuel terminal located at 100 KS-4 HWY in Scott City, Kansas, United States. It is situated in Scott County and serves as a breakout terminal within the Magellan Pipeline network, which is a major transporter of refined petroleum products in the central United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 424710 for petroleum bulk stations and terminals. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's scale is typical for a regional breakout terminal, handling significant volumes of petroleum products for distribution. As part of the Magellan Pipeline system, this terminal plays a key role in the fuel supply chain for the region, supporting local and regional demand for gasoline, diesel, and other petroleum products. Its location in western Kansas provides strategic access to major pipeline corridors, ensuring reliable fuel distribution to communities and industries in the area.

The terminal is located in a semi-arid region of western Kansas, where groundwater resources are critical for agriculture and municipal use. The facility's proximity to the Ogallala Aquifer, a major groundwater source, underscores the importance of spill prevention and secondary containment measures. The SPCC rule requires the facility to have a plan for oil spill prevention and response, including containment structures and regular inspections. The UST regulations mandate leak detection and corrosion protection for underground tanks to prevent soil and groundwater contamination.
