OWN RESOURCES OPERATING - BROWN C.S. Gas Pipeline Facility, Eckley, Colorado

OWN RESOURCES OPERATING - BROWN C.S. is a gas pipeline facility situated in Yuma County, Colorado, approximately 6.7 miles north of Eckley. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 486210, which covers pipeline transportation of natural gas. As part of the United States' extensive natural gas pipeline network, it contributes to the distribution of energy resources across the region. 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. Typical gas pipelines in this region are constructed from steel with cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion. The facility likely includes compressor stations and metering equipment to maintain gas flow and pressure. This pipeline facility plays a role in connecting natural gas supplies from production areas to end-users, supporting local energy needs and industrial activities in northeastern Colorado. Its location in a rural area reduces proximity to densely populated zones, but it may cross agricultural lands and waterways, requiring environmental monitoring to prevent leaks and ensure safety.

The facility is located in a rural agricultural area of Yuma County, Colorado, where the primary environmental considerations include potential impacts on soil and groundwater from pipeline leaks. The region's semi-arid climate and reliance on irrigation make water quality protection important. Pipeline operations must adhere to PHMSA regulations for leak detection and emergency response to minimize risks to nearby farmlands and the South Platte River watershed.
