East Valley Industrial Park, LLC received first round funding for the East Valley Rail Terminal (EVR), located just east of Williston, ND on Highway 1804. Contracts have been let for mainline turnout installation and site construction, beginning this summer. Initial operations are scheduled for December 2015.

 

At full build out, the terminal will be able to handle three inbound and three outbound trains a day, in unit train or manifest service. Storage will be constructed to handle up to 240,000 tons of frac sand and other proppants. The terminal will accommodate the shipping, receiving, storage and distribution of additional products such as: NGLs, drill & line pipe, cement, chemicals, fuel, oil and agricultural products.

 

“We are in the sweet spot of the Williston Basin. Two plus years of planning and co-ordinating has led to an exciting time for this project and the region. With over 230 acres for service companies and producers to realign operations and reduce costs, we’re at the right place with the right solution at the right time,” said Jason Everett, COO.
