ENABLE GAS TRANS/WALKER Gas Pipeline Facility in Cecil, Arkansas

ENABLE GAS TRANS/WALKER is a gas pipeline facility located in Cecil, Franklin County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the region. 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. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is a natural gas transmission pipeline. Typical gas transmission pipelines in this region are medium to large scale, often exceeding 100 kilometers in length. This pipeline facility plays a role in the natural gas supply chain, transporting gas from production areas to distribution networks. Its location in rural Arkansas, near waterways and populated areas, requires adherence to strict safety and environmental regulations to minimize risks associated with gas transmission.

The pipeline traverses rural Arkansas, an area with mixed agricultural and forested land. Proximity to waterways such as the Arkansas River and small tributaries necessitates careful monitoring for potential leaks or ruptures. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of explosion and greenhouse gas emissions if released. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion, and regular inspections are mandated by PHMSA to ensure environmental safety.
