Proposed Project

Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is proposing the expansion of the existing convenience store and gas station facility wholly contained on the site at the junction of Highway 56 and Highway 727. The expansion consists of a new 243 m2 service station building and island gas pumps. New 5000 L above ground storage tanks will be installed to feed the new underground piping installed to the new pump island. There will be no underground storage tanks on site as the pumps will be fed directly from the above ground tanks. The current storage tank that feeds the existing pumps will be reused and relocated beside the new building along with the addition of the new above ground tank. The existing service station building will remain and be repurposed. The existing pump island and underground piping will be decommissioned. New electrical, gas supply lines, telecommunications and natural gas line will be installed on the existing site.
