The facility would contract with a waste hauler to transport this water / waste to an off-site approved<br />

disposal site (treatment plant or disposal well). The volumes of water collected would determine the<br />

frequency with which the waste hauler would schedule a pick-up at the site.<br />

4.6.7 Gas Pipelines (Mainlines)<br />

Mainline transmission pipelines are the means by which the gas is shipped from the processing facility to<br />

their markets. The pipelines are usually between 16 and 48 inches in diameter and made from a strong<br />

carbon steel material, engineered to meet industry standards. These pipes are coated with a fusion<br />

bond epoxy to protect the pipe from moisture, which causes corrosion and rusting. In addition, cathodic<br />

protection is installed as a secondary method of protecting against corrosion and rusting.<br />

4.6.7.1 Compressor Stations<br />

The gas is shipped through the pipeline at high pressures. To ensure gas remains pressurized,<br />

compression of the gas along the pipeline is required and compressor stations are constructed at<br />

intervals usually between 40 and 100 miles. There are different types of compressors used to compress<br />

the gas.<br />
