Overview
Clean Energy - 1200 Mississippi St is a gas distribution station in San Francisco, California, serving the local natural gas network. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
Clean Energy - 1200 Mississippi St is a gas distribution station located in San Francisco, California, United States. The facility is part of the local natural gas infrastructure, distributing gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the area. As a distribution station, it plays a key role in the downstream gas network, reducing pressure and metering gas for safe delivery. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The station is classified under NAICS 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution). Typical gas distribution stations in California are designed to handle moderate pressures and volumes, with safety systems including overpressure protection and leak detection. Located in an urban industrial area of San Francisco, the station serves a densely populated region. Its operational significance lies in providing reliable gas supply to the city's energy grid. The facility's proximity to residential and commercial zones necessitates strict adherence to safety protocols and regular maintenance to mitigate risks associated with gas distribution.
Environmental context
The station is situated in an urban industrial area of San Francisco, near residential and commercial zones. Gas distribution stations in such settings require robust safety measures to manage risks from potential leaks or pressure excursions. The region's seismic activity adds a layer of hazard exposure, necessitating earthquake-resistant design and emergency response planning. The facility's environmental impact is primarily related to methane leakage, which is regulated under state and federal guidelines.
