SoCalGas workers discovered the methane leak in late October of 2015 spewing from an 8,750-foot deep underground well known as SS25. The gushing was so intense that the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a temporary ban on airplane flights over Porter Ranch for safety reasons and then-Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency
Nov. 20, 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom sent a letter to CPUC, requesting an independent third-party expert’s advice on a permanent closure of the Aliso Canyon facility. SoCalGas representatives did not respond to multiple requests for comment. In a recent email to Daily News, the company’s spokesman wrote that “SoCalGas and state regulators, who worked in consultation with independent experts at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Labs, conducted a comprehensive safety review at Aliso Canyon in 2017. That review and safety enhancements SoCalGas completed have been recognized as the most rigorous and comprehensive in the nation.
“Yet eight years later, this is not in place,” Galanti said. “One needs to ask, is this intentional?”
