Clean Energy - 1611 Naud St is a gas distribution station located at 1611 Naud Street in Los Angeles, California. The facility is part of the natural gas distribution network serving the Los Angeles metropolitan area, one of the largest urban markets in the United States. As a gas distribution station, it plays a role in delivering natural gas from transmission pipelines to local distribution systems. 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 pipeline safety and gas distribution. In California, additional state-level regulations from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) apply. Gas distribution stations typically include pressure regulation, metering, and odorization equipment to ensure safe delivery to end users. This station supports the natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the Los Angeles area. Its location in a densely populated urban environment necessitates robust safety measures and regular maintenance. The facility contributes to the reliability of the regional gas grid, which is critical for heating, power generation, and industrial processes.

Located in a densely populated urban area of Los Angeles, the facility operates in a region with high seismic activity due to nearby fault lines. The station's proximity to residential and commercial zones requires strict adherence to safety protocols to mitigate risks from potential gas leaks or ruptures. The local climate, characterized by dry summers and occasional wildfires, adds additional operational considerations for gas infrastructure.
