This facility is part of the broader pipeline infrastructure network that transports refined petroleum products across the region. The terminal plays a key role in the distribution of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to local markets. As a refined product pipeline terminal, 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 terminal includes storage tanks and associated infrastructure for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products.
