Midwestern Gas Transmission Co. Highway 231 Project - Gas Pipeline in Chrisney, Indiana

The Midwestern Gas Transmission Co. Highway 231 Project is a gas pipeline facility located in Chrisney, Spencer County, Indiana, United States. This operational pipeline is part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure serving the region. As a gas pipeline in the United States, this facility is regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. The pipeline's technical specifications, such as length and diameter, are not publicly detailed, but typical gas transmission pipelines in this region range from medium to large scale, often spanning tens to hundreds of miles. The facility plays a key role in the natural gas supply chain, connecting production areas to distribution networks and end-users in the Midwest. Its location in rural Indiana underscores its function in transporting gas across state lines, supporting energy needs for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers.

The pipeline traverses rural areas in Spencer County, Indiana, near agricultural land and waterways. Proximity to populated areas and water bodies requires robust cathodic protection and leak detection systems to prevent environmental harm. The commodity transported, natural gas, poses risks of methane emissions and explosion hazards, necessitating strict adherence to PHMSA safety regulations.
