DESOTO GATHERING CO, LLC - BENNY CPF -19 is a gas pipeline facility located at 5206 Jackson County Road 6, Denmark, Arkansas, in the United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 486210, which covers pipeline transportation of natural gas. It serves as a gathering point for natural gas in the region, contributing to the midstream infrastructure that connects production areas to processing and transmission systems. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas by pipeline. This includes requirements for pipeline design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance, as well as integrity management programs to prevent leaks and ruptures. The facility's location in Jackson County places it within a network of pipelines that support the natural gas supply chain in Arkansas. As part of the broader U.S. natural gas infrastructure, this facility plays a role in gathering gas from local wells and delivering it to larger transmission pipelines. Its operational status ensures continued support for energy distribution in the region. The facility's environmental context involves proximity to agricultural and rural areas, where pipeline safety and leak prevention are critical to protect local communities and ecosystems.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Jackson County, Arkansas, near agricultural land and waterways. Pipeline infrastructure in such settings requires careful monitoring to prevent leaks that could impact soil and water quality. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of methane emissions if leaks occur, contributing to greenhouse gas concerns. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA mandates leak detection and cathodic protection to mitigate environmental risks.
