The proponent, Cenex Pipeline, LLC, is requesting a 50-foot right-of-way across State Trust Land in the Southeast ¼ of Section 36, Township 1 North, Range 26 East, in Yellowstone County for the purpose of installing a refined fuels pipeline. The total length of pipeline crossing this State section is ±2,929 linear feet and will encumber ±3.362-acres (See Exhibit A). The proposed easement is part of a project developed by Cenex Pipeline, LLC to re-route and relocate their existing pipeline out of urban residential areas around the Billings Metropolitan area to reduce disturbance and maintenance due to the original pipe and path becoming outdated. The proposed project will install a 10” refined fuels pipeline and will install the pipe using open cut trenching to install the pipeline. The general path of the proposed right-of-way will follow a steep sloped hillside and embankment adjacent to a drainage that would be difficult to develop.
