Jayhawk Pipeline - Burrton Station (Crude Stor) is an oil pipeline facility located in Burrton Station, Harvey County, Kansas. It is part of the larger Jayhawk Pipeline system, which transports crude oil across the region. The facility is operational and plays a key role in the midstream oil infrastructure of the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 195 for hazardous liquid pipelines. As a crude oil storage and pumping station, it supports the safe and efficient movement of crude oil from production areas to refineries. The specific technical specifications, such as storage capacity and pipeline diameter, are not publicly detailed, but the facility is typical of midcontinent crude oil infrastructure. Environmentally, the facility is situated in an agricultural region of Kansas, with proximity to waterways and populated areas requiring careful monitoring. The transportation of crude oil necessitates robust spill prevention and response measures. The facility contributes to the regional energy supply chain, supporting local and national energy demands.

The facility is located in Harvey County, Kansas, an area characterized by agricultural land and proximity to the Little Arkansas River. The transport and storage of crude oil present risks of spills that could impact soil and water resources. Regulatory compliance under PHMSA requires cathodic protection and leak detection systems to mitigate environmental hazards. The facility's location in a seismically stable region reduces some risks, but routine inspections and maintenance are critical to prevent releases.
