FAYETTEVILLE GATH - E. CUTTHROAT Gas Pipeline Facility in Rosebud, Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE GATH - E. CUTTHROAT is a gas pipeline facility located at 2180 Lone Star Road in Rosebud, Cleburne County, Arkansas. It is part of the Fayetteville gathering system, which serves the natural gas production region in the Arkoma Basin. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. As a gas pipeline facility in the United States, it operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safety of gas pipelines. The facility is part of a network that gathers natural gas from production wells and transports it to processing plants or transmission pipelines. Typical gathering pipelines operate at moderate pressures and include components such as metering stations, valves, and cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion. The Fayetteville gathering system plays a key role in the regional energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas production in Arkansas. The facility's location in a rural area near Rosebud minimizes proximity to dense populations, but it may cross waterways or agricultural land. Regular inspections and maintenance are required to ensure safe operation and environmental protection.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Cleburne County, Arkansas, characterized by forested hills and agricultural land. Proximity to waterways such as the Little Red River and Greers Ferry Lake requires careful management to prevent leaks or spills. The pipeline transports natural gas, which poses lower environmental risk than hazardous liquids, but methane emissions and potential leaks remain concerns. Cathodic protection systems are used to prevent corrosion, and regular right-of-way inspections help protect local ecosystems.
