STT - REUNION Gas Pipeline Facility in Davenport, Florida

STT - REUNION is a gas pipeline facility located at 6781 Osceola Polk Line Rd in Davenport, Florida, within Osceola County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 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 natural gas across the region. 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 design, construction, testing, and maintenance, as well as corrosion control measures such as cathodic protection. The specific technical specifications of the pipeline, such as length and diameter, are not detailed in available data, but typical gas pipelines in Florida range from small local distribution lines to larger interstate transmission pipelines. Located in central Florida, the facility serves the growing population and industrial demand in the Davenport area, which is part of the Orlando metropolitan region. The pipeline's role in the natural gas grid supports residential, commercial, and industrial energy needs, contributing to the reliability of energy supply in the region. Environmental considerations include proximity to populated areas and waterways, which are managed through PHMSA's integrity management programs to minimize risks.

The facility is situated in central Florida, a region characterized by numerous lakes, wetlands, and a high water table. Proximity to populated areas and waterways requires careful management of pipeline integrity to prevent leaks or ruptures that could impact local ecosystems or communities. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of fire or explosion, but modern pipeline safety regulations and monitoring systems mitigate these hazards.
