CHASE TRANSPORTATION CO. Oil Pipeline Facility in Burdett Pump Station, Kansas

CHASE TRANSPORTATION CO. is an oil pipeline facility located in Burdett Pump Station, Reno County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as part of the regional pipeline infrastructure for transporting crude oil or refined petroleum products. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. As a pipeline facility, it includes pumping stations, storage tanks, and pipeline segments that require cathodic protection and regular integrity management to prevent leaks and corrosion. This facility contributes to the energy supply chain in the central United States, connecting production areas to refineries or distribution hubs. Its location in rural Kansas reduces immediate population density risks, but proximity to waterways and agricultural land necessitates environmental monitoring and spill prevention measures.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Kansas, where the primary environmental concerns include potential impacts on groundwater and nearby waterways from oil spills. The region's agricultural land and the Arkansas River basin nearby require robust spill containment and monitoring systems. Cathodic protection and regular pipeline inspections are critical to prevent corrosion-related leaks.
