K.P. Kauffman - Boxelder 28-1 Gas Extraction Facility, Commerce City, Colorado

K.P. Kauffman - Boxelder 28-1 is a gas extraction facility located in Commerce City, Adams County, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211112 and 211130, indicating its role in natural gas extraction and support activities. It is situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a prolific oil and gas region. 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 gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering lines to process raw natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for a single-well pad in the basin, with production directed to midstream processing plants. This facility supports local energy needs and contributes to the broader natural gas grid serving Commerce City and the Denver metropolitan area. Its proximity to populated areas necessitates adherence to safety protocols and environmental monitoring to mitigate risks associated with gas extraction, such as emissions and groundwater protection.

The facility is located in an area with a semi-arid climate and is near the South Platte River, which influences local hydrology. Proximity to residential and industrial zones in Commerce City requires careful management of air emissions and noise. The region is subject to occasional seismic activity, though low-magnitude, and the facility's design must account for these hazards to ensure operational integrity.
