Risk: Medium Gas Pipeline Operational

C-392 L-002 MP 146.90 RECOAT SPAN 232 (PG&E SPANS PROJECT) - Byron, California Gas Pipeline

BYRON, California, United States

Overview

C-392 L-002 MP 146.90 RECOAT SPAN 232 (PG&E SPANS PROJECT) is an operational gas pipeline segment in Byron, California, part of PG&E's pipeline infrastructure. The facility is regulated under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192.

C-392 L-002 MP 146.90 RECOAT SPAN 232 (PG&E SPANS PROJECT) is a gas pipeline segment located approximately 0.75 miles west of Mountain Road in Byron, Alameda County, California. This facility is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) extensive natural gas transmission system, which serves millions of customers across Northern California. The pipeline operates under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. The project involves recoating a span of pipeline at milepost 146.90, indicating maintenance or integrity work to ensure continued safe operation. The pipeline's NAICS code 486210 corresponds to pipeline transportation of natural gas. This pipeline segment plays a role in delivering natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the Byron area and beyond. Its maintenance through recoating projects helps prevent corrosion and leaks, contributing to the reliability and safety of the regional gas supply. The facility's location in a rural area near agricultural land and the San Joaquin River delta underscores the importance of environmental stewardship in pipeline operations.

Environmental context

The pipeline segment is situated in a rural area of Alameda County, near agricultural lands and the San Joaquin River delta.
