Natural Gas Pipeline of America - Haddam Station 195 (AIR) - Washington, Kansas Gas Pipeline Facility

Natural Gas Pipeline of America - Haddam Station 195 (AIR) is an operational gas pipeline facility located in Washington, Kansas, United States. The facility is part of the extensive natural gas pipeline infrastructure that supports energy distribution across the region. As a gas pipeline station, it plays a role in the transmission of natural gas, which is a key energy source for residential, commercial, and industrial users. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as a natural gas pipeline transmission facility. The facility is part of a broader network that ensures reliable natural gas supply. Environmental and operational significance includes its contribution to the energy grid in Kansas, a state with significant natural gas infrastructure. The facility supports local energy needs and connects to larger transmission systems. Its location in a rural area may reduce certain environmental risks, but proximity to agricultural land and waterways requires ongoing monitoring for safety and environmental protection.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Washington County, Kansas, where the primary environmental considerations include potential impacts on local waterways and agricultural land. Pipeline infrastructure in this region typically requires careful management of cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion and leaks. The transport of natural gas, while less hazardous than some other commodities, still necessitates robust safety measures to protect nearby communities and ecosystems.
