Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company, Yellow Creek Pumping Station - Waynesboro, Mississippi Oil Pipeline Infrastructure

Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company, Yellow Creek Pumping Station is an operational oil pipeline facility located at 136 Harold Graham Road in Waynesboro, Wayne County, Mississippi. The facility is part of the United States' extensive crude oil pipeline network, which is regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under 49 CFR Part 195 for hazardous liquid pipelines. The facility operates under NAICS code 486110, which covers crude oil pipeline transportation. Typical pumping stations in this region serve to maintain pressure and flow along major crude oil trunk lines connecting Gulf Coast refineries to inland markets. The regulatory framework requires compliance with safety standards including cathodic protection, leak detection, and regular inspections. As a component of the national pipeline infrastructure, this pumping station plays a role in the reliable transport of crude oil, supporting energy supply chains. Its location in rural Mississippi reflects common siting away from dense populations, though proximity to waterways and ecological areas necessitates environmental management under PHMSA and state regulations.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Wayne County, Mississippi, near the Chickasawhay River watershed. Pipeline operations in this region must manage risks related to soil erosion, waterway crossings, and potential spills affecting local ecosystems. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA requires spill prevention and response plans, as well as cathodic protection to prevent corrosion-related leaks. The surrounding landscape includes forested and agricultural land, with groundwater resources that may be sensitive to contamination.
