The Project will include the installation of approximately 15,940 feet (3.0 miles) of 8.625-inch outside diameter pipeline (0.250 inch wall thickness, X-52) from Great Plains’ Fergus Falls TBS to its Green Plains Ethanol valve site entirely within Otter Tail County. The proposed pipeline will have an operating pressure range of 500 to 720 pounds per square inch gage (psig), with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 720 psig.

The existing pipeline section being replaced will not be abandoned, instead it will remain in use as a distribution pipeline, and continue to provide service to customers along its length. This pipeline section will be cut and capped at the Green Plains Ethanol valve site, and reclassified from transmission pipeline to distribution pipeline and operated at a lower pressure.
