Clean Energy - 25663 Avenue Stanford: Gas Distribution Station in Valencia, California

Clean Energy - 25663 Avenue Stanford is a gas distribution station located at 25663 Avenue Stanford in Valencia, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility is operational and plays a role in the local natural gas infrastructure network, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial energy needs in the region. As a gas distribution station, this facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. The station is part of the broader natural gas distribution system that delivers gas from transmission pipelines to end-users. In California, gas distribution stations are subject to state-specific safety and environmental regulations, including those enforced by the California Public Utilities Commission. The facility's location in Valencia, a suburban area in northern Los Angeles County, places it within a region with moderate population density. Gas distribution stations like this one are critical for ensuring reliable energy supply to communities, and their operation involves monitoring pressure, odorization, and leak detection to maintain safety and efficiency.

The station is situated in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate zone, where seasonal temperature variations and occasional drought conditions can influence energy demand. Proximity to populated areas requires adherence to strict safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with gas leaks or pressure anomalies. The facility's design and operation consider seismic hazards common in California, with engineering standards aimed at maintaining integrity during earthquakes.
