Caledonia Energy Partners LLC, Caledonia Gas Storage Facility - Mississippi Pipeline Infrastructure

Caledonia Energy Partners LLC, Caledonia Gas Storage Facility is located at 500 Flint Hill Road in Caledonia, Lowndes County, Mississippi. The facility is operational and plays a role in the natural gas storage and pipeline network within the United States. As a gas storage facility, it contributes to the balancing of supply and demand in the regional natural gas market. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), which enforce safety standards under 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. The NAICS codes 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution) and 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas) indicate its involvement in both distribution and transportation activities. The facility's scale is typical for a regional gas storage operation in the southeastern United States. Environmental considerations for gas storage facilities include the integrity of underground storage caverns and pipeline safety to prevent leaks. The facility's location in Mississippi, a state with active oil and gas infrastructure, means it operates within a well-established regulatory framework. Its role in the energy grid helps ensure reliable natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the region.

The facility is situated in a region with a mix of rural and industrial land use. Proximity to populated areas and waterways requires robust safety measures to prevent gas leaks and protect local ecosystems. The age of the pipeline and cathodic protection systems are critical factors in maintaining integrity. The commodity transported is natural gas, which poses risks of explosion and greenhouse gas emissions if released.
