Overview
EIGER OPERATING - MOSCOW STATION (AIR) is a gas pipeline facility in Moscow, Kansas, United States. It operates under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
EIGER OPERATING - MOSCOW STATION (AIR) is a gas pipeline facility located in Moscow, Stevens County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a key component in the regional natural gas infrastructure, supporting the transport of gas through the pipeline network. 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 gas pipeline safety. As a station in the pipeline system, it likely includes compression or metering equipment to maintain flow and monitor gas quality. The facility is situated in a rural area of southwestern Kansas, an important region for natural gas production and transit. The environmental context of the facility involves its location in the Great Plains, where pipeline infrastructure is critical for energy distribution. The station's proximity to agricultural land and sparse population reduces certain risk factors, though pipeline integrity and cathodic protection remain important for long-term safety. The facility contributes to the reliable supply of natural gas to downstream consumers.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a rural area of southwestern Kansas, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. The primary environmental considerations for gas pipeline stations include potential leaks or ruptures that could affect soil and groundwater. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion. The region's flat terrain and dry climate reduce some environmental risks, but pipeline age and maintenance practices are key factors in overall safety.
