Texas Eastern Pipeline M&R Station #2210/95 is a metering and regulating (M&R) station located in South Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The station is part of the Texas Eastern Pipeline system, which is one of the largest natural gas pipeline networks in the United States, spanning over 9,000 miles. This facility plays a critical role in monitoring and controlling gas flow, ensuring safe and efficient delivery to downstream customers. The station 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. M&R stations are essential for measuring gas volumes, regulating pressure, and maintaining system integrity. The facility's location in central New Jersey places it within a densely populated region, requiring robust safety protocols and cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion. As part of the Texas Eastern system, this station contributes to the reliability of natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the Northeast. The pipeline network supports energy security and grid stability, particularly during peak demand periods. Environmental considerations include proximity to waterways and residential areas, necessitating regular inspections and leak detection programs to minimize risks.

The station is situated in a suburban area of South Brunswick, near the Cranbury Brook and other local waterways. The surrounding region is characterized by mixed residential and light industrial land use. Pipeline infrastructure in this area requires careful management to prevent leaks and corrosion, with cathodic protection systems and routine monitoring. The facility's proximity to populated areas underscores the importance of compliance with PHMSA regulations to ensure environmental and public safety.
