Its specific length is not disclosed, but it operates within the broader network of pipelines in Arkansas. The facility is subject to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations under DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. As a midstream asset, it likely includes compressor stations, metering, and pigging facilities to maintain gas flow and pressure. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as pipeline transportation of natural gas. Environmental considerations for this pipeline include its proximity to the Ozark Mountains and waterways such as the Arkansas River. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion. The facility plays a role in supplying natural gas to local communities and industries, contributing to energy reliability in the region.
Environmental context
The pipeline traverses the Ozark Mountain region, which features karst topography and sensitive watersheds. Proximity to populated areas and waterways necessitates robust corrosion protection and leak detection systems. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of methane leakage, a potent greenhouse gas, requiring adherence to PHMSA's integrity management programs.
