This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Persons as an amendment to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 19, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on October 15, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on May 7, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on October 2, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 8, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 16, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 28, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 5, 2016, and as amended by Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 11, 2016 (as amended, this “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment relates to the common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of Crestwood Equity Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

In various open market purchases between January 11, 2016 and January 13, 2016, FR Crestwood Management Co-Investment LLC, a subsidiary of Crestwood Holdings Partners, acquired an aggregate of 392,960 of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Units for a total aggregate purchase price of $6,219,501.61. The purchase of such securities was funded from cash on hand of the Reporting Persons. On March 28, 2016, the 613,117 Common Units previously held directly by KA First Reserve (the “KAFR Units”) were distributed to its parent, FR Midstream Holdings, which immediately contributed such shares to FR XI CMP, its subsidiary, which immediately contributed such units to Crestwood Holdings Partners, its subsidiary, which immediately contributed such units to FR Crestwood Management Co-Investment LLC, its subsidiary. FR Crestwood Management Co-Investment LLC immediately contributed the KAFR Units and the 4,989,342 Common Units previously held directly by it to Crestwood Holdings.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

On January 13, 2016, FR Crestwood Management Co-Investment LLC completed the purchases under the previously disclosed Rule 10b5-1(c) purchase plan.

On March 28, 2016, Crestwood Holdings LLC agreed under its existing credit facility that it would use cash on hand of $25 million to purchase Common Units within the first 45 business days during which it is not restricted from making such purchases as a result of customary “blackout periods”, subject to certain extensions required to comply with securities laws. Such purchases may be made in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The actual timing of any such purchases will be determined based on market conditions, unit price and other factors, including whether a “blackout period” is in effect under the Issuer’s Policy on Securities Trading and Handling of Non-Public Information. A regular quarterly “blackout period” is currently in effect under such policy and will not end any earlier than May 5, 2016 and may be extended in accordance with the terms of such policy. Any such purchases will not impact total Common Units outstanding.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D the transactions effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
