OWN RESOURCES OPERATING - YGS SITE #1 Gas Pipeline, Paoli, Colorado

OWN RESOURCES OPERATING - YGS SITE #1 is a gas pipeline facility situated in Yuma County, Colorado, approximately 16.4 miles south of Paoli. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the region. Its location in the High Plains of eastern Colorado places it within a network of pipelines that transport natural gas from production areas to distribution systems. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The NAICS codes 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) and 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas) indicate its role in both upstream and midstream activities. The facility's scale is typical for a regional gas gathering or transmission site in Colorado. Environmentally, the facility's location in a rural agricultural area reduces immediate population density risks, but proximity to waterways and irrigation canals in the South Platte River basin may require careful monitoring. The pipeline's commodity (natural gas) and the need for cathodic protection against soil corrosion are standard considerations. The facility contributes to the regional energy grid by supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use in Colorado and neighboring states.

The facility is situated in the High Plains of eastern Colorado, a region characterized by agricultural land and sparse population. The primary environmental concerns for gas pipelines in this area include soil erosion, potential leaks affecting groundwater or surface water in nearby irrigation canals, and impacts on local wildlife habitats. The use of cathodic protection systems is standard to mitigate corrosion risks. The facility's rural setting reduces immediate exposure to densely populated areas, but pipeline integrity management remains critical to prevent environmental incidents.
