Gas pipelines can have significant environmental impacts, including habitat disruption, potential leaks, and greenhouse gas emissions. The construction and maintenance of pipelines may lead to soil erosion, water contamination, and effects on local wildlife. Additionally, the extraction and transport of natural gas contribute to climate change concerns due to methane emissions. Careful planning, monitoring, and regulatory compliance are essential to mitigate these environmental risks.
No.
The pipe that runs through the foundation to the gas meter is commonly referred to as the gas service line or gas supply line. This underground pipe transports natural gas from the utility’s main line to the meter located at the building. It is typically made of materials such as steel, plastic, or copper, designed to safely convey gas. Proper installation and maintenance of this line are crucial for safety and compliance with local regulations.
NO!! Black iron pipe has a special coating to resist the highly corrosive effect of natural gas. Galvenized pipe CANNOT be used for gas service.
You should use black pipe -- Galv. pipe will flake off inside of pipe
Because that is what is used for gas.
Absolutely Not!

Use only black pipe
To properly cap off a gas line, you should first turn off the gas supply. Then, use a pipe wrench to tighten a gas line cap onto the end of the pipe. Make sure the cap is secure and leak-proof to prevent any gas leaks. It is recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure about how to cap off a gas line safely.
Either shut the gas off at the meter or install a valve on the pipe. As long as you don't have an open flame somewhere close to the gas line and have everything ready, you can take the current flex line off and install the valve with little gas excaping. Use pipe dope on the threads of the pipe instead of Teflon tape. This lets you cap the pipe with your thumb while you apply the pipe dope. Then just install the valve and tighten, making sure to hold the pipe so that you don't disturb the next joint further down the line.
Fill pipe?
