The UNEV pipeline is an under construction 399-mile (642 km) long[1] pipeline from Woods Cross, Utah to the Las Vegas Valley at the Apex Industrial Park. 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 June 2010.[4][5] An additional terminal facility, the 30-acre (12 ha) Iron County Terminal, would be located in Cedar City, Utah[1] with the capacity to store 200,000 barrels (32,000 m3) of product.[2]

This line would be the second oil pipeline for Las Vegas adding capacity and a second source to the Calnev Pipeline. Completion was planned for operation in the spring of 2011.[6] Commencement of operations was delayed to 2012 and is now operational.[7][8][9]
