LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT INC Gas Pipeline, Gordo, Alabama

LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT INC is a gas pipeline facility located on CR 57 in Gordo, Pickens County, Alabama, United States. The pipeline is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) and 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas), indicating its role in both upstream gathering and midstream transmission. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of gas pipelines. As a gas pipeline in Alabama, it is part of a dense network serving the southeastern US, with typical pipeline diameters ranging from 6 to 36 inches and operating pressures up to 1,480 psi, depending on the specific segment. The pipeline contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, transporting natural gas from production areas to local distribution systems and industrial consumers. Its location in rural Pickens County suggests it may serve as a feeder line to larger transmission corridors, supporting energy reliability for communities and industries in western Alabama.

The pipeline traverses the rural landscape of Pickens County, which includes forested areas and waterways such as the Sipsey River. Proximity to populated areas like Gordo and agricultural lands requires careful monitoring of cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion and leaks. The commodity transported, natural gas, poses risks of methane emissions and explosion hazards, necessitating compliance with PHMSA integrity management programs.
