Southern Natural Gas Jasper - Gas Pipeline Facility in Jasper, Florida

Southern Natural Gas Jasper is a gas pipeline facility located at 1114 A US HWY 41 NW in Jasper, Hamilton County, Florida. It is part of the Southern Natural Gas pipeline system, which transports natural gas across the southeastern United States. The facility is currently operational and classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. 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. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, corrosion control, and emergency response. As part of a major interstate pipeline system, the facility plays a role in connecting natural gas supply from producing regions to distribution networks in Florida and beyond. The facility's location in rural Hamilton County, near the city of Jasper, positions it within a region that relies on natural gas for power generation and residential heating. Its operational status ensures continued support for local energy needs and the broader regional grid. The pipeline infrastructure contributes to energy reliability and economic activity in the area.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Hamilton County, Florida, near the Suwannee River watershed. Pipeline operations in this region must consider proximity to waterways and wetlands, which are sensitive to potential leaks or spills. The commodity transported is natural gas, which poses risks of methane emissions and fire hazards. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA requires rigorous leak detection and cathodic protection to mitigate environmental impact.
