Crimson Pipeline, LP, has filed an application for Facility/Pipeline Permit No. P-243-12 to install a new valve vault and route approximately 20 feet of new pipeline from two nearby existing pipelines to the new vault. Crimson states that this installation will enhance business opportunities around the sale of crude oil products. The location of the new vault and pipelines will be on the south side of 28th Street at Delta Avenue. The pipeline’s location is shown on the attached aerial and site maps.
