Wolverine Pipe Line Company (N6654) - Refined Product Pipeline in Dansville, Michigan

Wolverine Pipe Line Company (N6654) is a refined product pipeline facility located at 2499 Grimes Rd, Dansville, Ingham County, Michigan, United States. As part of the nation's extensive pipeline infrastructure, it transports refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 486910 for pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. This regulatory framework mandates rigorous safety standards including corrosion control, leak detection, and emergency response protocols. The pipeline's age and cathodic protection systems are critical to maintaining integrity and preventing leaks. This pipeline plays a key role in the regional fuel supply chain, connecting refineries and distribution terminals to markets in Michigan and the broader Midwest. Its location in a rural area near Dansville reduces population density risks, but proximity to waterways requires careful environmental monitoring. The facility contributes to the reliable delivery of essential fuels that support local transportation and industry.

The pipeline traverses a region with agricultural land and several water bodies, including the Grand River watershed. Spill risks from refined products could impact soil and water quality, necessitating robust leak detection and containment measures. The facility's compliance with PHMSA's integrity management programs helps mitigate environmental hazards, while regular inspections and cathodic protection reduce corrosion-related risks.
