PGE - 35291322 OAKLAND Gas Distribution Station, Oakland, California

PGE - 35291322 OAKLAND is a gas distribution station located at 5051 Coliseum Way in Oakland, California. As part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's extensive natural gas infrastructure, this facility plays a key role in distributing natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the East Bay region. The station is situated in an urban area, reflecting the dense population and energy demands of the San Francisco Bay Area. This 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, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas distribution station, it reduces pressure from transmission pipelines to levels suitable for local distribution. The station's design and operation follow California's stringent safety and environmental standards, including seismic safety requirements due to the region's earthquake risk. The station is part of PG&E's gas distribution system, which serves over 4 million customers in Northern and Central California. Its location near the Oakland Coliseum and major transportation corridors underscores its importance in maintaining reliable gas service for the community. The facility contributes to the energy resilience of the area, supporting both daily energy needs and emergency response capabilities.

The station is located in an urban area with high population density, requiring robust safety measures to mitigate risks from potential gas leaks or ruptures. The region is seismically active, so the facility must comply with earthquake-resistant design standards. Proximity to the Oakland Estuary and San Francisco Bay also necessitates environmental safeguards to prevent contamination in case of incidents.
