Natural Gas Pipeline
Golden Triangle Storage has built a nine-mile natural gas pipeline system, called a "header system," which connects Golden Triangle Storage with three intrastate and three interstate pipelines in the area. These interconnections will allow the storage facility to access incoming natural gas supplies and then deliver natural gas from storage to the pipelines that serve customers locally as well as in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
The proposed GTS Expansion Project does not include expanding the nine-mile header system or adding additional interconnections to header system.
The company has conducted engineering, environmental and cultural surveys along the proposed pipeline route, which will parallel existing pipeline rights-of-way for most of its length to minimize impact to landowners and to the environment. And just like our plans for the storage facility itself, we will be making safety the top priority as we build and operate the pipeline.
Pipelines are by far the safest means of transporting natural gas, and we will take a number of steps, from design and construction into operation, to protect the safety of our neighbors. The pipeline, featuring automatic shut-off valves, will be buried underground, constructed of high-quality steel, protected against corrosion, monitored 24-hours a day, and inspected regularly, both visually and with electronic equipment. We also will maintain an emergency response plan, coordinated with local authorities, to respond promptly if needed. Golden Triangle Storage, in accordance with Railroad Commission of Texas regulations, performs an annual emergency drill in which local emergency response authorities participate.
