Colorado Interstate Gas Co Cheyenne Stn - Gas Pipeline Facility in Carr, Colorado

Colorado Interstate Gas Co Cheyenne Stn is a gas pipeline facility located in Carr, Weld County, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is part of the broader natural gas transmission infrastructure that moves gas across the region, connecting supply basins to distribution networks. As an operational station, it plays a role in maintaining pressure and flow for interstate gas transport. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety, including design, construction, testing, and maintenance standards. Typical gas pipeline stations in this region include compressor units, metering equipment, and valve systems to ensure efficient and safe gas transmission. The station's location in Weld County places it within a major energy-producing area of Colorado. Environmental considerations for gas pipeline facilities include proximity to populated areas and waterways, as well as the age of infrastructure and cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion. The Cheyenne Stn contributes to the reliability of natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the region, supporting energy needs while adhering to federal safety standards.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northeastern Colorado, where pipeline infrastructure must account for soil conditions and potential impacts on local ecosystems. Proximity to agricultural lands and water bodies requires careful monitoring of corrosion protection and leak detection systems. The transport of natural gas, while less hazardous than liquids, still necessitates robust safety measures to prevent methane emissions and ensure community safety.
