crude in marine Mississippi River dock
A federal (ATSDR) health consultation document states: 'Crude oil is offloaded at the Mississippi River dock and transported to the Meraux facility via pipeline. Additional crude oil is transported to the facility by way of auxiliary pipelines.'		 waterborne crude imports crude source
products out pipeline Collins Product Pipeline
Explicitly documented in Valero's 2011 acquisition announcement: the deal included 'a 20 percent equity interest in the Collins Product Pipeline and T&M terminal' and the refinery 'has... pipelines to Collins, Miss.' This is a DIFFERENT, specifically-named pipeline not currently represented in the graph's edge list for this refinery -- worth adding.		 toward Collins, MS gasoline distillate source
products out marine Mississippi River / Gulf ICW barge dock
ATSDR document: 'These products are then transported off-site via barge at the facility docks and via pipelines.'		 refinery dock gasoline distillate fuel oil source
products out truck rack Valero Refining - Meraux Terminal
Company-named on-site terminal, consistent with the 'adjacent product terminal' included in the 2011 acquisition.		 at refinery gasoline distillate source

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
