The UNEV pipeline is an under construction 425-mile (684 km) long[1] pipeline from North Salt Lake,Utah to the Las Vegas Terminal at the Apex Industrial Park 30 minutes north of the Las Vegas Strip. This 53-acre (21 ha) facility will have the capacity to store 330,000 barrels (52,000 m3) of product.[2][3] Construction is underway for the terminals and construction of the 12-inch (300 mm) refined oil products pipeline is projected to begin in July 2010.[4][5] An additional terminal facility, the 30-acre (12 ha) Cedar City Terminal, would be located 37 minutes west of Cedar City, Utah[1] with the capacity to store 200,000 barrels (32,000 m3) of product.[2]
