Overview
CENEPETROLEUM TERMINAL (MERGE W/1130003) is a refined product pipeline facility located 2 miles south of McPherson, Kansas, United States. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 195 regulations.
CENEPETROLEUM TERMINAL (MERGE W/1130003) is a refined product pipeline facility situated in McPherson County, Kansas, approximately 2 miles south of the city of McPherson. As a refined product pipeline, it is part of the infrastructure that transports petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486910, which covers pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. This regulatory regime requires rigorous safety standards, including corrosion control, leak detection, and emergency response planning. The facility's location in central Kansas places it within a region with extensive pipeline networks connecting refineries to distribution terminals. Refined product pipelines like this one play a critical role in the energy supply chain, ensuring reliable delivery of fuels to local markets. The McPherson area is an agricultural and industrial hub, and the terminal supports regional fuel distribution. Environmental considerations include proximity to waterways and populated areas, which are managed through PHMSA-mandated integrity management programs.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a rural area of central Kansas, near agricultural land and small water bodies. Proximity to populated areas and waterways is a key environmental consideration for refined product pipelines, as spills could impact soil and water resources. The region's flat terrain and groundwater resources require careful monitoring and cathodic protection to prevent corrosion-related leaks.
