PG&E PROJECT R-1035 Gas Distribution Station, San Jose, California

PG&E PROJECT R-1035 is a gas distribution station located in San Jose, California, within Santa Clara County. The facility is part of the natural gas infrastructure operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the region. As a gas distribution station, it plays a key role in reducing pressure from transmission pipelines and delivering gas to local distribution networks. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. PG&E's gas distribution system in California is subject to state-level oversight by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The station's NAICS code 221210 indicates it is classified under natural gas distribution. This station is part of PG&E's extensive gas distribution network in the San Francisco Bay Area, which serves millions of customers. Its location in a densely populated urban area necessitates robust safety measures and regular maintenance to ensure reliable service and minimize risks. The facility contributes to the energy supply for San Jose and surrounding communities.

The station is situated in an urban environment in San Jose, a city with a Mediterranean climate. Proximity to residential and commercial areas requires careful management of gas leaks and pressure regulation to ensure safety. California's seismic activity poses a risk to gas infrastructure, and facilities like this one are designed with earthquake-resistant features. The station's operations are subject to environmental regulations aimed at minimizing methane emissions and ensuring air quality.
