CREDIT FACILITY [Abstract]
CREDIT FACILITY	CREDIT FACILITY On June 28, 2013, we entered into a 364-day revolving credit agreement that matures on June 27, 2014 and has a borrowing capacity of up to $40.0 million, of which, up to $10.0 million may be available for letters of credit (the 2013 Credit Facility). Our obligations under the 2013 Credit Facility are guaranteed by Riverwalk Holdings, LLC (Riverwalk), our wholly owned subsidiary. Riverwalk pledged 1,792,918 NuStar Energy units that it owns to secure its guarantee. All outstanding borrowings under the previous 364-day revolving credit facility that was set to mature on June 28, 2013, were paid off with proceeds from the 2013 Credit Facility on June 28, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $18.5 million and availability of $21.5 million for borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility. Interest on the 2013 Credit Facility is based upon, at our option, either an alternative base rate plus 1.00% or a LIBOR-based rate plus 2.00%. As of June 30, 2013, the interest rate was 2.3%. The terms of the 2013 Credit Facility require NuStar Energy to maintain, as of the end of each rolling period, which consists of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, a consolidated debt coverage ratio not to exceed 5.0-to-1.0. If NuStar Energy consummates an acquisition for an aggregate net consideration of at least $50.0 million, the maximum consolidated debt coverage ratio will increase to 5.5-to-1.0 for two rolling periods. As of June 30, 2013, NuStar Energy’s consolidated debt coverage ratio was 4.3x. We are also required to receive cash distributions of at least $12.5 million in respect of our ownership interests in NuStar Energy each fiscal quarter. Our management believes that we are in compliance with the covenants of the 2013 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2013.
