CHS (Jayhawk/Kaw Pipeline) - Arnold Station is an oil pipeline facility located at 23999 K Rd, Arnold, Kansas, within Ness County. The facility is operational and forms part of the Jayhawk/Kaw Pipeline system, which is a key infrastructure component for transporting refined petroleum products across the central United States. The pipeline system serves to connect supply sources with distribution markets, supporting regional energy logistics. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. As an oil pipeline station, it includes pumping, metering, and control equipment to ensure safe and efficient transport. The pipeline's length and capacity are typical for a regional system, contributing to the overall network that moves products from refineries to terminals. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area of western Kansas, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. The pipeline's role in the regional fuel supply chain is significant, as it supports local and regional energy needs. Operational safety measures, including cathodic protection and regular inspections, are in place to mitigate risks associated with pipeline transport.

The facility is located in a rural agricultural region of western Kansas, with low population density and primarily farmland. The pipeline transports refined petroleum products, which poses potential risks to soil and groundwater in the event of a leak. Regulatory requirements under PHMSA mandate spill prevention and response plans, as well as corrosion control measures to protect the environment.
