State regulators are weighing whether to reopen the gas field over the objections of residents and politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the wells are safe,\" says Ken Harris, California’s Oil and Gas supervisor, one of two regulators making the decision. He says SoCalGas has replaced miles of pipeline at the field. Inspectors have cleared 37 out of 114 gas wells for operation so far and are still checking out the rest.

It’s how it’s going to be operated, and the fact that these tests will be carried out in the future, so we’ll be able to follow the health of the well, something that was not done in the past,\" Harris says. “I don’t think any gas field has been through the level of scrutiny Aliso Canyon has been under.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris says the public has to trust the technical expertise of his agency, the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hundreds of people packed public meetings in Woodland Hills last week to oppose the reopening of Aliso Canyon and say they absolutely do not trust the regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/02/2017-02-09b-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/PorterRanchProtesters-800x559.jpg\" Title=\"Regulators May Reopen Aliso Canyon Gas Field, Over Objections of Residents\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial leak temporarily \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/03/court-gives-residents-30-days-not-8-to-return-home-after-porter-ranch-leak/\" target=\"_blank\">forced thousands of families\u003c/a> in the hillside community of Porter Ranch from their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year some disputes with SoCalGas -- like relocation costs and home cleaning -- have been settled. As of the end of 2016, SoCalGas has spent $764 million on its response to the leak, a figure that includes both site safety and upgrades and community response.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Health Study Hasn’t Begun\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But other major questions remain unresolved.

Twenty-nine odor complaints were filed with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), but SoCalGas points out that fenceline data from eight pairs of monitors showed normal background levels of airborne pollutants during that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No health study is yet underway, in part because of disputes between public officials and SoCalGas about any study's scope and cost. But that's changing. On Wednesday, the AQMD settled a civil lawsuit against SoCalGas for $8.5 million, which includes $1 million for a health investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a release from the AQMD, that will include “an enhanced assessment of residents' exposure to air pollution from the leak; a community health survey; and an analysis of potential associations between reported health effects and exposure to air pollutants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/02/2017-02-10c-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/AlisoProtest-800x533.jpg\" Title=\"Porter Ranch Doctor Calls for Independent Health Study of Gas Leak\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health -- a potential partner in the AQMD’s effort -- seeks a multiyear, multimillion-dollar study, says Angelo Bellomo, the county’s director of environmental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether this facility stays closed forever, or whether it resumes operation, having the kind of study we’re talking about is the only way this community will have closure to their health concerns and needs,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bellomo notes that it will take $12-13 million to fund a multiyear, \"meaningful study\" for the residents of Porter Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is a 'Root-Cause Analysis' Necessary?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Residents say they’re also waiting for someone to investigate the root cause of the natural gas blowout.

If it were flooded or if an earthquake struck, up to 250,000 dump trucks worth of sediment could spew forth, suffocating anything living in the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharedaddy show-for-medium-up\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1375780\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop.jpg\" alt=\"Dam_desktop\" width=\"1334\" height=\"1075\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop.jpg 1334w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-800x645.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-768x619.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-1020x822.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-1180x951.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-960x774.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-240x193.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-375x302.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-520x419.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1334px) 100vw, 1334px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"show-for-small-only\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1375781\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile.jpg\" alt=\"Dam_mobile\" width=\"752\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile.jpg 752w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-240x426.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-375x666.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-520x923.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project involved a major river reroute—getting half a mile of the Carmel to flow into an adjacent stream: San Clemente Creek. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This allowed engineers to stabilize the built-up sediment behind the dam and cover it with grass and tree saplings.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trish Chapman, regional manager for the \u003ca href=\"http://scc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California State Coastal Conservancy\u003c/a>, says the removal “seemed so much smarter than just slapping more concrete on a dam that no longer had any function.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://amwater.com/caaw/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California American Water Company\u003c/a>, the agency that owns the dam, could have retrofitted the structure for $49 million, which still would have presented problems as the dam weakened and aged.

The 1976 Coastal Act calls for protecting and encouraging “lower cost visitor and recreational facilities,” including overnight accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has struggled to fulfill that mandate in an increasingly expensive and crowded coastal zone. Seventy-five percent of people surveyed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCLA-Coastal-Access-Policy-Report.pdf\">statewide poll from UCLA\u003c/a> cited the lack of affordable accommodations as a barrier to accessing the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Willis, the Coastal Commission's enforcement officer for Southern California, said the commission sees short-term rentals as one way to fill the gap in lower-cost accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're looking for ways to protect the ability of everyone, of all economic backgrounds, to get to the coast, and this seems to be one way,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hoped city and county officials would take the commission’s recent letter as an invitation to work together to enact regulations that protect public access while addressing concerns from coastal residents. But the emphasis appears to be on access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to start with the position that we'd like to maximize the opportunities for everyone of all economic backgrounds to get to the coast,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Beach officials have said they believe the city’s short-term rental ordinance adequately addresses the Coastal Commission’s concerns. Still, the city has restarted processing applications for short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, essentially putting its ban on hold.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The new regulations allow short-term rentals in commercial zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Coastal Commission Gets a Say, Too\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In November, Brenes and his group sued the city over the new rules, arguing that Laguna Beach didn’t get permission to pass the ordinance from the California Coastal Commission, the state agency charged with regulating land and water use in California’s coastal zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group made the same claim in a lawsuit filed against the city of San Clemente in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many coastal towns in Orange County, Los Angeles County and up and down the coast have passed laws restricting short-term rentals in recent years. But now, proponents of vacation homes may have a powerful ally in the California Coastal Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11300019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11300019\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg\" alt=\"Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach.\" width=\"800\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-160x96.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1020x613.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1180x709.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-960x577.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-240x144.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-375x225.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-520x313.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach. \u003ccite>(Don Graham/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In December, then-commission Chairman Steve Kinsey \u003ca href=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/la/Short_Term_Vacation_Rental_to_Coastal_Planning_&_Devt_Directors_120616.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to all coastal cities and counties saying they had to get commission approval before placing restrictions on short-term rentals. He said the commission would generally not support outright bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commission staff had previously warned Laguna Beach that it considered short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods a right, but the city passed its restrictive ordinance anyway and sent a lengthy letter to the Coastal Commission justifying its move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coastal Commission’s new, more aggressive stance on the issue could tilt the battle in favor of short-term rentals along the California coast. The 1976 Coastal Act calls for protecting and encouraging “lower cost visitor and recreational facilities,” including overnight accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has struggled to fulfill that mandate in an increasingly expensive and crowded coastal zone. Seventy-five percent of people surveyed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCLA-Coastal-Access-Policy-Report.pdf\">statewide poll from UCLA\u003c/a> cited the lack of affordable accommodations as a barrier to accessing the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Willis, the Coastal Commission's enforcement officer for Southern California, said the commission sees short-term rentals as one way to fill the gap in lower-cost accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're looking for ways to protect the ability of everyone, of all economic backgrounds, to get to the coast, and this seems to be one way,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hoped city and county officials would take the commission’s recent letter as an invitation to work together to enact regulations that protect public access while addressing concerns from coastal residents. But the emphasis appears to be on access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to start with the position that we'd like to maximize the opportunities for everyone of all economic backgrounds to get to the coast,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Beach officials have said they believe the city’s short-term rental ordinance adequately addresses the Coastal Commission’s concerns. Still, the city has restarted processing applications for short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, essentially putting its ban on hold.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
