Texas Gas Transmission, LLC Gas Pipeline Facility in Clarksdale, Mississippi

Texas Gas Transmission, LLC operates a natural gas pipeline facility in Clarksdale, Coahoma County, Mississippi. The facility, identified as PN 12122 MLS 36-1 and PN 12123 MLS 30-1, is part of a larger interstate gas transmission system serving the southeastern United States. As an operational gas pipeline, it plays a key role in transporting natural gas from supply basins to local distribution networks and industrial consumers. The pipeline operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, cathodic protection, and leak detection. The facility's NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as a natural gas pipeline transmission operation. Typical infrastructure at such facilities includes compressor stations, metering equipment, and pipeline pigging facilities to ensure safe and efficient transport. The Clarksdale location is situated in the Mississippi Delta region, an area with significant agricultural activity and proximity to the Mississippi River. The pipeline contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, supporting local industries and communities. Its operational status ensures continued natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use in the region.

The pipeline traverses the Mississippi Delta, a region characterized by fertile floodplains and proximity to the Mississippi River. This setting requires careful environmental management to prevent leaks or ruptures that could impact waterways and agricultural land. The facility's cathodic protection systems and regular integrity inspections are critical for minimizing corrosion risks. Additionally, the pipeline's commodity (natural gas) poses lower environmental risk compared to hazardous liquids, but methane leakage remains a concern for greenhouse gas emissions.
