NGPL Station 309, Marble Hill, Missouri | Natural Gas Pipeline Facility

NGPL Station 309 is a natural gas pipeline facility located at 8000 Why 34 in Marble Hill, Bollinger County, Missouri. The facility is part of the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) system, one of the largest interstate natural gas pipeline networks in the United States. As a station along this pipeline, it plays a role in the transmission of natural gas across the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The station is classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. Typical NGPL stations include compression and metering equipment to maintain flow and pressure. NGPL Station 309 contributes to the reliable supply of natural gas to communities and industries in the Midwest. Its location in a rural area of Missouri reduces proximity to dense populations, but it still requires rigorous safety protocols to prevent leaks and ensure environmental protection. The facility supports energy distribution for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the region.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Bollinger County, Missouri, characterized by agricultural land and scattered woodlands. The nearby Mississippi River and its tributaries are potential receptors in the event of a pipeline incident. Natural gas pipelines require cathodic protection to prevent corrosion, and regular inspections are mandated by PHMSA to minimize risks of leaks that could impact local ecosystems or water sources.
