TIMBER CREEK - HR 03-10V Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

TIMBER CREEK - HR 03-10V is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.8 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is part of the extensive gas infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region. As a gas extraction site, 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. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, though it may be subject to seismic activity typical of the Colorado region. The facility contributes to the natural gas supply chain, feeding into local gathering systems and ultimately into interstate pipelines. Its operational status supports regional energy needs and economic activity in Las Animas County.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and scrubland. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure to gas leaks or accidents. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, which is a consideration for pipeline integrity. Local wildlife includes pronghorn and various bird species, but no specific protected areas are known to be directly affected.
