Evergreen Natural Resources - Manville 4 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Evergreen Natural Resources - Manville 4 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 10 miles northwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US federal regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it contributes to the region's natural gas supply chain. The facility operates within the broader context of Colorado's gas infrastructure, which is subject to state and federal oversight. Typical gas extraction operations in this area involve drilling and production activities, with gas transported via pipelines to processing plants. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both gas and natural gas liquids extraction. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area of southeastern Colorado, characterized by semi-arid terrain and low population density. Its operational significance lies in supporting local energy production and contributing to the regional gas grid. The facility's proximity to populated areas and seismic activity in the region are factors considered in its risk profile.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate exposure to populated areas. However, the area is subject to seismic activity, which can pose risks to gas extraction infrastructure. Operational practices must comply with environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on local air and water resources.
