Overview
ROVER - MAINLINE CS #3 is a gas pipeline compressor station in Bloomville, Ohio, United States. It is part of the Rover Pipeline system, a major natural gas transmission network.
ROVER - MAINLINE CS #3 is a compressor station located in Bloomville, Ohio, within the United States. It is a component of the Rover Pipeline, a large-scale natural gas transmission system that transports gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions to markets in the Midwest and Canada. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. The compressor station plays a critical role in maintaining pressure and flow within the pipeline network. Typical compressor stations are equipped with gas turbine or electric motor-driven compressors, and are designed for continuous operation. The Rover system spans approximately 713 miles, with multiple compressor stations like CS #3 ensuring efficient gas transport. The facility's location in rural Ohio reflects the strategic placement of such infrastructure near gas-producing regions and major pipeline corridors. Environmentally, the Rover Pipeline traverses areas with agricultural land and waterways, requiring careful construction and operational practices to minimize impact. Compressor stations are subject to emissions regulations under the Clean Air Act, and operators implement noise mitigation and leak detection programs. The facility contributes to energy supply reliability for residential, commercial, and industrial users across the region.
Environmental context
The compressor station is situated in a rural agricultural area of Ohio, near the Sandusky River watershed. Pipeline infrastructure in this region must manage risks related to soil erosion, waterway crossings, and potential impacts on local wildlife. The facility operates under PHMSA regulations requiring cathodic protection and regular integrity assessments to prevent leaks. Emissions from compressor engines are regulated under state and federal air quality standards, with operators often using emissions control technologies.
