Overview
Texas Eastern Trans LP MP 359.52 Clinton is an operational gas pipeline facility in Camden, Mississippi, United States. It is part of the Texas Eastern Transmission pipeline system, a major natural gas corridor serving the eastern U.S.
Texas Eastern Trans LP MP 359.52 Clinton is a natural gas pipeline facility located approximately 6 miles northeast of Camden, Madison County, Mississippi. The facility is part of the extensive Texas Eastern Transmission pipeline network, which transports natural gas from the Gulf Coast region to markets in the northeastern United States. As a midstream asset, it plays a critical role in the nation's energy infrastructure. 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. While specific technical specifications such as pipe diameter or capacity are not detailed, typical Texas Eastern Transmission pipelines range from 20 to 36 inches in diameter and operate at pressures up to 1,000 psi. The facility's location in rural Mississippi reflects the common placement of pipeline assets away from dense populations. Environmentally, the pipeline traverses areas that may include agricultural land and forested regions. The transport of natural gas via pipeline is generally considered a lower-emission option compared to other fossil fuel transport methods. The facility contributes to regional energy reliability and supports downstream power generation and industrial use across multiple states.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a rural area of Madison County, Mississippi, characterized by mixed forest and agricultural land. Natural gas pipelines in this region typically cross waterways and wetlands, requiring careful construction and maintenance practices to minimize erosion and habitat disruption. The pipeline's right-of-way is managed to prevent vegetation encroachment and ensure leak detection access. While no specific protected areas are confirmed nearby, the region supports diverse wildlife, and pipeline operators follow PHMSA regulations to protect environmental resources during operations.
