TIMBER CREEK - TIMBER CREEK 228 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

TIMBER CREEK - TIMBER CREEK 228 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.8 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. Its location in the Rocky Mountain area places it within a significant gas-producing basin. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas gathering and transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to process raw natural gas. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and NGL production. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can involve emissions and water usage. The facility's operational status and regulatory compliance are key to its role in meeting local energy demands.

The facility is located in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. This setting reduces potential impacts on populated areas. However, gas extraction operations can contribute to air emissions and water resource demands. The region's semi-arid climate and seismic stability present moderate environmental considerations for infrastructure integrity.
