In Louisiana, NuStar Logistics has been approved plans to build seven crude oil tanks. These will be linked to its facility and Mississippi River site near the community of St. James through the use of various pipes and channels.
The St. James Parish Council approved the $100 million (71 million) sale for a 3 million-barrel expansion of the tank farm, increasing the farms capacity by almost 63%.
According to NuStars area terminal manager Jean Zeringue, the company will begin applying for building permits immediately and construction is due to start in April or May.
