The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. As part of the Fayetteville Shale gas gathering system, it plays a role in transporting natural gas from production areas to processing and distribution networks. 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. This includes requirements for pipeline design, construction, testing, and maintenance, as well as integrity management programs to prevent leaks and ruptures. The pipeline infrastructure in Arkansas is part of a broader network supporting the region's natural gas production. The facility's location in a rural area of Van Buren County reduces proximity to dense populations, but pipelines still require monitoring for corrosion and third-party damage. The gathering system contributes to the local energy supply chain, supporting natural gas delivery to residential, commercial, and industrial users. Regular inspections and cathodic protection systems are typical for such facilities to ensure operational integrity and environmental safety.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a rural area of Arkansas, near the Ozark Mountains, with terrain that includes forests and waterways. Pipeline operations in this region must consider potential impacts on local ecosystems, including soil erosion and water quality from construction or maintenance activities. The transport of natural gas, while cleaner than other fossil fuels, still poses risks of methane leaks, which are potent greenhouse gases. Regulatory compliance under PHMSA includes environmental protection measures such as spill prevention and leak detection.
