Project Summary

The Magellan Pipeline Company (Magellan) proposes to relocate approximately 0.74 miles of an existing eight-inch petroleum product pipeline from federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service within the Pipestone Creek Unit of the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge and the Pipestone National Monument. 

Magellan proposes to relocate the pipeline on private property so as to avoid the federal lands associated with the wildlife refuge and national monument. The existing 0.74 miles of pipeline, which passed underneath the national monument, was deactivated in December 2022.
