TETLP - M&R 74219 RAGLEY Gas Pipeline Facility in Ragley, Louisiana

TETLP - M&R 74219 RAGLEY is a gas pipeline facility located at 392 AL CORMIER RD in Ragley, Louisiana, within Beauregard County. As part of the TETLP (Texas Eastern Transmission LP) system, it serves as a metering and regulating station that monitors and controls natural gas flow in the region. The facility is 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 DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, cathodic protection, and leak detection. The TETLP system is a major interstate natural gas pipeline network spanning multiple states, with this station playing a role in maintaining pressure and flow within the Louisiana segment. Located in a rural area of southwestern Louisiana, the facility contributes to the regional energy infrastructure by supporting natural gas distribution to local utilities and industrial customers. The surrounding region is characterized by pine forests and agricultural land, with the pipeline corridor traversing areas that require careful environmental management to prevent soil erosion and protect water resources.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Beauregard Parish, where the primary environmental considerations include proximity to waterways and forested land. Pipeline operations require adherence to PHMSA regulations for spill prevention and cathodic protection to minimize corrosion risks. The transport of natural gas presents lower environmental hazards compared to hazardous liquids, but methane leakage remains a concern for greenhouse gas emissions. Regular inspections and right-of-way maintenance help mitigate impacts on local ecosystems.
