By Wednesday a third weak system skirts the North Bay again. However, a more promising system looks to really break down the ridge with the best chance for rain the next seven days. Therefore, have introduced widespread precipitation for the entire Bay Area next Thursday and Friday. Confidence is not the highest given that it is seven days out.

Phillip Burton, pushed by environmentally minded San Franciscans, had worked his political magic by bringing the park into being as the Presidio of San Francisco was about to be decommissioned as an Army base. Congress acknowledged that this was a different kind of park, an urban space. And so it would have to support itself, which it has done by renting out old or restored Army dwellings in an era of scarce housing and exorbitant prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the Presidio, the park includes San Francisco's Ocean Beach and Crissy Field, Alcatraz, the Marin Headlands, Fort Funston and assorted parcels stretching nearly from Point Reyes to Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those days, even some of the hard-core enviros didn’t give much thought to the role of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Meyer, one of the park’s early supporters, thought that dog owners had a legitimate right to ask that their pets be allowed to run free in parts of the new national recreation area. But, still active, she’s changed her mind. The population of the city and the Bay Area has increased dramatically, she argues, and the number of dogs has increased, too, putting the park's natural features at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/248772554\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GGNRA averages nearly 18 million visitors a year. Meyer contends they expect to see habitat that fosters birds and wildlife, and they want to hike, take photos and do a variety of things “that are not compatible with free-running dogs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told me that a large dog knocked her grandson to the ground when she took him to the park. And she said that dogs have ripped up the dunes at Fort Funston -- an area where thousands of dogs and their owners visit, precisely because the dogs can go off-leash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dog owners, including some staunch environmentalists, take a different view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huey Johnson was chief of California's Resources Agency during Jerry Brown's first stint as governor and was, like Meyer, in on the founding of the GGNRA. Now head of Marin's Resource Renewal Institute, Johnson says the National Park Service has it all wrong and isn’t able \"to handle the urban park concept.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the park service is administering the GGNRA like it does the other 407 parks in the national park system, when in fact it is completely different. In general, the National Park Service allows dogs only in developed areas and only if they're on-leash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson likes to walk his dog off-leash at Muir Beach, which will no longer be allowed if the new rules are made final.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t have a dog in Yellowstone or Yosemite,” Johnson told me, while walking on Muir Beach. \"But here ... that’s why it’s here. And dogs are part of the public’s existence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the threat to birds, he says “birds are very handy in surviving”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service has been wrestling with what rules to impose since 2002. It has studied the various parts of the 80,000-acre park and has considered thousands of letters and comments offered by the public. It has issued environmental impact statements and revised draft plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now it is close to the end of the process, and even though the proposed areas where dogs can run free have been reduced, the park superintendent says the GGNRA is the only location in the entire National Parks system that allows \u003cem>any\u003c/em> off-leash dog walking. That evenhanded approach doesn’t convince the dog owners, who are used to letting their pets roam free at Fort Funston, Crissy Field and Muir Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this fight isn’t over yet. The rules announced Tuesday are \u003ca href=\"http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=NPS-2016-0002\" target=\"_blank\">open for public comment\u003c/a> until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 25. Only then will park officials tweak the regulations -- and make them final.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Phillip Burton, pushed by environmentally minded San Franciscans, had worked his political magic by bringing the park into being as the Presidio of San Francisco was about to be decommissioned as an Army base. Congress acknowledged that this was a different kind of park, an urban space. And so it would have to support itself, which it has done by renting out old or restored Army dwellings in an era of scarce housing and exorbitant prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the Presidio, the park includes San Francisco's Ocean Beach and Crissy Field, Alcatraz, the Marin Headlands, Fort Funston and assorted parcels stretching nearly from Point Reyes to Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those days, even some of the hard-core enviros didn’t give much thought to the role of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Meyer, one of the park’s early supporters, thought that dog owners had a legitimate right to ask that their pets be allowed to run free in parts of the new national recreation area. But, still active, she’s changed her mind. The population of the city and the Bay Area has increased dramatically, she argues, and the number of dogs has increased, too, putting the park's natural features at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/248772554&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/248772554'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GGNRA averages nearly 18 million visitors a year. Meyer contends they expect to see habitat that fosters birds and wildlife, and they want to hike, take photos and do a variety of things “that are not compatible with free-running dogs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told me that a large dog knocked her grandson to the ground when she took him to the park. And she said that dogs have ripped up the dunes at Fort Funston -- an area where thousands of dogs and their owners visit, precisely because the dogs can go off-leash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dog owners, including some staunch environmentalists, take a different view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huey Johnson was chief of California's Resources Agency during Jerry Brown's first stint as governor and was, like Meyer, in on the founding of the GGNRA. Now head of Marin's Resource Renewal Institute, Johnson says the National Park Service has it all wrong and isn’t able \"to handle the urban park concept.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the park service is administering the GGNRA like it does the other 407 parks in the national park system, when in fact it is completely different. In general, the National Park Service allows dogs only in developed areas and only if they're on-leash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson likes to walk his dog off-leash at Muir Beach, which will no longer be allowed if the new rules are made final.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t have a dog in Yellowstone or Yosemite,” Johnson told me, while walking on Muir Beach. \"But here ... that’s why it’s here. And dogs are part of the public’s existence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the threat to birds, he says “birds are very handy in surviving”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service has been wrestling with what rules to impose since 2002. It has studied the various parts of the 80,000-acre park and has considered thousands of letters and comments offered by the public. It has issued environmental impact statements and revised draft plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now it is close to the end of the process, and even though the proposed areas where dogs can run free have been reduced, the park superintendent says the GGNRA is the only location in the entire National Parks system that allows \u003cem>any\u003c/em> off-leash dog walking. That evenhanded approach doesn’t convince the dog owners, who are used to letting their pets roam free at Fort Funston, Crissy Field and Muir Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this fight isn’t over yet. The rules announced Tuesday are \u003ca href=\"http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=NPS-2016-0002\" target=\"_blank\">open for public comment\u003c/a> until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 25. Only then will park officials tweak the regulations -- and make them final.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>As Southern California Gas Co. pumps concrete into a newly controlled leaky well in the Aliso Canyon storage field in Los Angeles County, representatives from all levels of government stepped up calls for more oversight of natural gas around California and across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frankly, gas storage fields need a fresh look in terms of the regulatory requirements,” said federal Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, after a meeting among federal, state, county and Los Angeles officials Tuesday. “And some of the ideas are already emerging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moniz said “looking at and reducing dramatically methane leaks across the entire system from production to distribution” is a federal priority because of President Obama’s climate goals. And along with California politicians, Moniz said more and better coordinated oversight is needed to prevent leaks large and small elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Northern California has gas fields, too, with equipment similar to that which failed near Porter Ranch in October, said Tim O’Connor, who directs the California Climate Initiative for the Environmental Defense Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of these facilities are almost as large as the Aliso Canyon storage field, which can hold 86 billion cubic feet of gas and has over a hundred wells. According to the California Public Utilities Commission, the McDonald Island facility near Stockton stores almost as much as Aliso Canyon did before the leak — and can deliver almost as much during peak demand times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area uses natural gas storage to balance electricity demand and ensure reliability of the electric service,” O’Connor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Porter Ranch residents probably aren’t the only ones caught unaware by the presence of a natural gas field near their homes, said Maya Golden-Krasner, a lawyer for the Center for Biological Diversity. Among the 14 natural gas storage fields in California is one in Contra Costa County near Concord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s maybe half a mile from residences, businesses and even a preschool,” she said. “And there’s planned development to come even closer, whereas in PR people lived about a mile from the facility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Northern California is already attuned to the risks of natural gas because of the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/08/five-years-after-deadly-san-bruno-explosion-are-we-safer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2010 San Bruno gas explosion\u003c/a> that killed eight people.

For example, current rules require underground safety valves only on “critical” wells within 300 feet of homes or schools, rather than on all wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer and other members of Congress are pushing the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to make national rules governing natural gas fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re getting old,” Boxer said. “All across the country we are seeing the results of an aging infrastructure. The people of Flint, (Michigan), because these pipes were filled with lead, were poisoned. And people were sickened here in Porter Ranch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal lawmakers say PHMSA could make “baseline” regulations for gas fields. That’s never happened before because PHMSA, within the Department of Transportation, has focused on the movement of gas. State legislators point out that seven agencies share responsibility over gas fields under California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight separate investigations are underway about the origins of the Porter Ranch leak, which began almost four months ago. Public officials say they may also reveal more problem areas requiring more action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not enough for some residents and activists, who say that investment in natural gas should slow in favor of cleaner energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon storage field was halted temporarily by an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/06/brown-declares-state-of-emergency-over-porter-ranch-gas-leak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order of Gov.

"content": "\u003cp>Crews working for Southern California Gas Co. have temporarily stopped a gas leak in Porter Ranch that began nearly four months ago and has driven thousands of Los Angeles County residents from their homes. But there’s still work to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, SoCalGas plugged the leak in its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility by pumping heavy fluids into the relief well to stop the flow of gas from the problematic one. Next, SoCalGas will cement the well. Five separate tests by oil and gas regulators are required to shut the well down for good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will issue a public notice that the well is officially sealed only after this state verification and testing is complete,” said Jason Marshall, with the Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/246739592\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003cbr>\nLos Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander said his constituents need assurances that the area is safe before they come home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next several phases are critical,” Englander said. “So this is just yet a beginning of a new process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Secretary of State Alex Padilla was one of thousands of displaced San Fernando Valley residents. He, his wife and their three young children have been living in a Burbank hotel for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a father and as a husband, I appreciate when I hear from the gas company the gas leak has been fixed, but I’m gonna want a third-party validator here,” Padilla told KQED last week. “Whether it’s the air quality management district or a state agency to confirm that’s indeed the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he was “relieved” at the “welcome and long overdue” news that the leak was plugged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People from the Porter Ranch neighborhood who left, many complaining of health problems, will have eight days to return home after the well is sealed under the terms of a legal settlement between Los Angeles and SoCalGas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six attempts to plug the well at the surface failed before the company began drilling down through rock just before Christmas. The newly completed relief well tracked a tricky route nearly a mile and a half deep in order to catch the uncontrolled well at the right depth and angle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine if you were trying to thread a needle at the end of a football field in the dark, what a complex, challenging operation that would be,\" said SoCalGas spokeswoman Stephanie Donovan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT9w1y72I6M&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental advocates have called for state agencies to order public inquiries into problems at the gas field.

Next, SoCalGas will cement the well. Five separate tests by oil and gas regulators are required to shut the well down for good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will issue a public notice that the well is officially sealed only after this state verification and testing is complete,” said Jason Marshall, with the Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/246739592&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/246739592'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nLos Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander said his constituents need assurances that the area is safe before they come home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next several phases are critical,” Englander said. “So this is just yet a beginning of a new process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
