Its location near Ardmore provides access to existing pipeline infrastructure and transportation networks.

The facility is situated in a region with active oil and gas development, which can pose risks of air emissions from compressors and fugitive methane leaks. The local environment includes mixed-use rural and agricultural land, with potential impacts on air quality and groundwater from hydrocarbon operations. Regulatory frameworks such as EPA's NSPS and the Clean Air Act aim to mitigate these risks through emission controls and monitoring requirements.
