Natural Gas Pipeline Co Station 203 - Arcola, Illinois Gas Pipeline Infrastructure

Natural Gas Pipeline Co Station 203 is a gas pipeline facility located at 360 E County Rd 00N in Arcola, Douglas County, Illinois. 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 Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas pipeline station, it likely includes compression, metering, or valve equipment to manage natural gas flow. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as pipeline transportation of natural gas. The station plays a role in the natural gas supply chain for the surrounding area, contributing to energy distribution in east-central Illinois. Its location in a rural county suggests it may serve as a midpoint or pressure control station along a larger pipeline network.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Douglas County, Illinois, with agricultural land use. Proximity to waterways and populated areas is a consideration for pipeline safety. The commodity transported is natural gas, which poses risks of leaks or ruptures, though modern cathodic protection and monitoring systems mitigate these. The local environmental context includes potential impacts on soil and groundwater in the event of a release.
