Denver Expansion Project (Stormwater) - Refined Product Pipeline in Scott City, Kansas

The Denver Expansion Project (Stormwater) is a refined product pipeline facility located at 100 KS-4 in Scott City, Kansas, United States. It is classified under NAICS codes 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution) and 486910 (Pipeline Transportation of Refined Petroleum Products), indicating its role in both gas distribution and refined product transport. The facility is operational and serves as part of the broader pipeline network in the region. As a refined product pipeline, this 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. The facility's location in western Kansas places it within a region with extensive pipeline infrastructure supporting the transportation of petroleum products from refining centers to distribution markets. Typical operational considerations include cathodic protection for corrosion control and regular integrity assessments. The facility contributes to the energy supply chain by facilitating the movement of refined products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Its stormwater designation suggests it may include infrastructure for managing runoff, which is important for environmental compliance. The pipeline network in Kansas plays a key role in connecting Gulf Coast refineries to Midwestern markets, supporting regional fuel availability.

The facility is situated in Scott County, Kansas, a rural area with agricultural land use. Proximity to waterways and groundwater resources requires careful management to prevent spills or leaks. The pipeline's age and cathodic protection status are critical for corrosion prevention. The commodity transported (refined products) poses risks of soil and water contamination in the event of a release, necessitating robust leak detection and emergency response plans.
