White Cliffs Pipeline - Lindon Station: Oil Pipeline Facility in Lindon, Colorado

White Cliffs Pipeline - Lindon Station is an oil pipeline facility located at 10401 County Road S in Lindon, Washington County, Colorado. The facility is part of the White Cliffs Pipeline system, which plays a key role in transporting crude oil from production areas to refineries. As an operational station, it contributes to the regional energy infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 195 for hazardous liquid pipelines. The White Cliffs Pipeline system spans several states and is a significant artery for crude oil transport in the region. Lindon Station serves as a key point along this route, likely including pumping and metering equipment to maintain flow and monitor product quality. Environmentally, the pipeline's location in rural Colorado reduces immediate population density risks, but its proximity to agricultural land and waterways requires careful monitoring. The facility's cathodic protection systems and regular inspections help mitigate corrosion risks. As part of a major crude oil pipeline, it supports the broader energy supply chain while adhering to stringent safety and environmental regulations.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Washington County, Colorado, with low population density. The surrounding land is primarily agricultural, and the pipeline crosses several waterways. The transport of crude oil poses risks of spills that could affect soil and water quality. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA's integrity management programs helps mitigate these risks through regular inspections and cathodic protection.
