Double T Contractors/Mohawk #1 Gas Extraction Facility, Emerson, Arkansas

Double T Contractors/Mohawk #1 is a gas extraction facility situated in Columbia County, Arkansas, approximately 3 miles south of Emerson on Highway 79. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211111, which covers the extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas. This location is part of the broader natural gas production landscape in the Ark-La-Tex region, known for its significant hydrocarbon reserves. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and adheres to 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead operations, separation, and initial processing before gas enters transmission pipelines. The scale of operations is typical for a small to medium-sized extraction facility in the region. Environmental considerations include proximity to rural areas and potential impacts on local air and water resources. The facility's role in the natural gas supply chain contributes to regional energy production and economic activity. Its location in southern Arkansas places it within a seismically stable region, though standard operational safeguards are in place to manage routine risks associated with gas extraction.

The facility is situated in a rural area of southern Arkansas, where the primary environmental considerations include potential impacts on local air quality from fugitive emissions and water resources from produced water management. The region is not prone to significant seismic activity, but standard measures for well integrity and spill prevention are implemented to mitigate risks. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing exposure to noise and traffic from operations.
