That equals 6,000 kilograms a day, or 6 metric tons of methane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amount is too high, he said, given that the gas well blowout, over the course of about four months is estimated to have put 109,000 metric tons of methane into the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The limit that appears in the state order was set by the California Air Resources Board based on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/research/methane/NG_Chart_All.png\">survey of methane levels typically seen at the Aliso Canyon and other gas storage fields\u003c/a>, spokesman Dave Clegern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a lot, given the size of that facility,” Clegern said of the Aliso Canyon gas field, which covers thousands of acres and contains more than 100 gas wells.

Henry Stern, who represents the Porter Ranch area, authored a bill, SB 57, to keep the moratorium on operations intact at least until the investigation into the well break is completed and the ongoing earthquake risk to more than 100 other aging wells is studied.

Brad Sherman, whose family lives in Porter Ranch, criticized state regulators for declining to require subsurface safety valves on the remaining gas wells at Aliso among its newly drafted rules for gas storage fields. The well that ruptured came equipped with an underground safety valve that failed decades ago and was not replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They refuse to commit to subsurface safety valves. Not now.

The company must keep the volume and pressure of gas at less than one-third of what it was in October 2015 when a gas well ruptured, causing the nation's largest recorded uncontrolled natural gas leak, the state agencies ordered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas field, when operating at full capacity, can hold 86 billion cubic feet of gas that can be withdrawn for customers. Under the new rules, the field could hold just 23.6 billion cubic feet. That amount is what state energy officials calculate is enough gas to avoid a shortage when demand peaks on the state's hottest or coldest weather streaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had repeatedly stated that the moratorium on operations at the gas field could put the region at risk of a gas shortage and power outages on hot days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, there is enough gas moving through the SoCal Gas network of pipelines to serve homes and businesses, as well as large users like gas-fired power plants. However, when the amount of gas those plants order is less than what they use, SoCal Gas draws the extra from storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the storage field stalled, the company warned power outages could occur if gas demand peaked on hot or cold days. The energy industry responded to the lack of storage by adopting much more careful rules for ordering and using gas.

Previously, it moved gas through the center tubing as well as the doughnut-shaped space between that tubing and the well casing. That is a method that, while not unusual in the gas industry, is not a best practice because that doughnut-shaped space is meant to be a secondary layer of protection against a leak or break in a gas well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company constantly monitors gas pressure in all its wells, and staffers visually inspect each well four times a day and use infrared cameras to detect methane leaks, Gilbride said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issam Najm, president of the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council, said there remains widespread local opposition to operations resuming at the gas storage field. In particular, he objected to the state order that requires SoCal Gas to keep methane emissions from the gas field below 250 kilograms per hour. That equals 6,000 kilograms a day, or 6 metric tons of methane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amount is too high, he said, given that the gas well blowout, over the course of about four months is estimated to have put 109,000 metric tons of methane into the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The limit that appears in the state order was set by the California Air Resources Board based on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/research/methane/NG_Chart_All.png\">survey of methane levels typically seen at the Aliso Canyon and other gas storage fields\u003c/a>, spokesman Dave Clegern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a lot, given the size of that facility,” Clegern said of the Aliso Canyon gas field, which covers thousands of acres and contains more than 100 gas wells.

While many were sickened during the gas leak, some continue to report illnesses. SoCal Gas agreed to fund a health study as part of its settlement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, but the amount is far below the $35 million or more the county Department of Public Health considers necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Henry Stern, who represents the Porter Ranch area, authored a bill, SB 57, to keep the moratorium on operations intact at least until the investigation into the well break is completed and the ongoing earthquake risk to more than 100 other aging wells is studied. He called the reopening decision premature and unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the Energy Commission’s suggestion to shut Aliso down and replace it with clean energy over the next decade is encouraging, the community won’t have comfort unless there are real teeth to this plan,” Stern said in an email statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Brad Sherman, whose family lives in Porter Ranch, criticized state regulators for declining to require subsurface safety valves on the remaining gas wells at Aliso among its newly drafted rules for gas storage fields. The well that ruptured came equipped with an underground safety valve that failed decades ago and was not replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They refuse to commit to subsurface safety valves. Not now. Not later,” Sherman said in an email statement. “Just because California’s standards for the storage of natural gas are stronger than those in other states or the federal government does not mean they are sufficient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food and Water Watch, an environmental group working with Porter Ranch residents to oppose reopening of the gas field, called Brown’s call for the eventual closure of Aliso a “sellout” of families that have been sickened by chemicals coming from the gas well blowout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to resume gas operations at Aliso was reckless because it “minimizes the serious health effects still felt by residents from the largest gas blowout in U.S. history,” said Alexandra Nagy, a organizer for the group. She pointed to objections to reopening from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the county Department of Public Health and the county Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blowout at Aliso Canyon galvanized the efforts of environmentalists to move away from fossil fuels like natural gas.
