ANR Pipeline Sulphur Springs - Gas Pipeline Facility in Sulphur Springs, Indiana

ANR Pipeline Sulphur Springs is a natural gas pipeline facility located in Sulphur Springs, Henry County, Indiana. It operates as part of the ANR Pipeline system, which is a key component of the United States' natural gas transmission infrastructure, transporting gas across multiple states to meet regional energy demands. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a transmission pipeline, it is designed for high-pressure transport of natural gas, with typical infrastructure including compressor stations, metering equipment, and cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion. This facility plays a vital role in the regional energy grid, supplying natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the Midwest. Its location in a rural area minimizes proximity to dense populations, but it crosses agricultural land and may intersect with waterways, requiring ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure safety and environmental protection.

The facility is situated in a rural agricultural area of Indiana, with nearby waterways and farmland. Pipeline infrastructure in this region must manage risks related to soil erosion, potential leaks affecting groundwater, and interaction with farming activities. Regular inspections and cathodic protection are standard practices to mitigate corrosion and environmental impact.
