Pipeline explosion reported near Kansas City International Airport

The pipeline is owned by Mid-America Pipeline Company
which is a subsidiary of Enterprise Products.
Approximate GPS is 39.408745, -94.679255

There is a mainline and also a loop in the same ROW.


NPMS lists the commodity category as "Liquified Petroleum Gas" and the description as "ETHANE/PROPANE, NATURAL GASOLINE, PROPAN" (in a field which is not fully readable in the NPMS browser unless you look at the HTML-- for me it only shows "ETHANE/PROPANE, NATURAL GAS..."

But if you look at their response plan filed with PHMSA it lists the product as "natural gasoline", which is an NGL (natural gas liquid) and an intermediate refinery product, usually sent as a feedstock for petrochemical industry.


Lists the sizes as "10" and 8?"...
I don't why the "8?", whether Enterprise isn't sure, or whether it's a PDF font problem.
