ANR Pipeline Company Lincoln Compressor Station is a natural gas pipeline facility located at 3991 South Hickory in Lake George, Clare County, Michigan. The station is part of the extensive ANR Pipeline system, which transports natural gas across the United States. As a compressor station, it maintains pressure and flow within the pipeline network, ensuring efficient gas delivery. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The station's NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as a pipeline transportation of natural gas facility. Compressor stations like this one are critical for long-distance gas transmission, typically using turbine or reciprocating compressors to boost pressure. Located in rural Michigan, the station plays a key role in the regional energy infrastructure, connecting gas supplies to downstream markets. Its operation supports residential, commercial, and industrial consumers in the Midwest. The facility's location away from densely populated areas reduces certain risks, though proximity to waterways and agricultural land requires careful environmental management.

The station is situated in a rural area of Clare County, Michigan, near agricultural land and small water bodies. Pipeline compressor stations can have localized environmental impacts, including noise from compressor engines and potential emissions. The facility's proximity to groundwater resources necessitates adherence to spill prevention and cathodic protection standards to prevent corrosion and leaks. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA ensures monitoring for methane leaks and other environmental safeguards.
