INVESTMENT EQUIP - COLORADO STATE 1, A1 is a gas extraction facility located approximately 27.1 miles north of Akron, Colorado, in Washington County. The facility operates within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. As a gas extraction plant, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas industry, processing raw gas from wells for pipeline transmission. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety and gas transmission. The NAICS code 211130 indicates it is involved in natural gas extraction. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado include wellheads, separators, and dehydration units to prepare gas for transport. This facility contributes to the local energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use in the region. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, though it remains subject to standard operational safety protocols and environmental monitoring for emissions and groundwater protection.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid agricultural region of eastern Colorado, with low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing exposure risks. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though generally low magnitude. Climate hazards include drought and potential for wildfires, which may affect operations. Standard environmental controls for gas extraction include emissions management and groundwater protection measures.
