As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"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. That incident prompted PG&E to scrutinize its spaghetti-like network of gas lines — thousands of miles throughout Northern and Central California — with airplanes, cars, cameras and people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”UmlyqtGicEulvUiAM2qbsqvN5GA4YJnA”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this high-profile leak is serving as a wake-up call specifically about natural gas storage, said EDF’s O’Connor. “We know that when the Aliso Canyon nightmare started, everybody else started to take a hard look at their own facilities to see if that was something that could happen to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes independent natural gas operators, whose profit margins already are under siege by the growing availability of renewable energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to prevent the next leak from a storage field are taking several tracks, including better disclosure to local communities about risks, requirements for safety equipment and procedures and better monitoring, of both activity at wells and their condition. 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. Jerry Brown\u003c/a> in January. Next week, Sacramento lawmakers will consider continuing that moratorium until independent inspectors can verify the safety of all the wells in that field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents of Porter Ranch continue to argue that the Aliso Canyon storage field should be shut down permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Tuesday in San Francisco, California Highway Patrol officers arrested protesters Lisa R. Prochello and Kelsey Baker, members of Diablo Rising Tide, after the two scaled the entrance to the building housing the California Public Utilities Commission and deployed a banner beneath the giant seal of the State of California on the front of the structure.\u003c/p>\n\n",

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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. That incident prompted PG&E to scrutinize its spaghetti-like network of gas lines — thousands of miles throughout Northern and Central California — with airplanes, cars, cameras and people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this high-profile leak is serving as a wake-up call specifically about natural gas storage, said EDF’s O’Connor. “We know that when the Aliso Canyon nightmare started, everybody else started to take a hard look at their own facilities to see if that was something that could happen to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes independent natural gas operators, whose profit margins already are under siege by the growing availability of renewable energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to prevent the next leak from a storage field are taking several tracks, including better disclosure to local communities about risks, requirements for safety equipment and procedures and better monitoring, of both activity at wells and their condition. 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. Jerry Brown\u003c/a> in January. Next week, Sacramento lawmakers will consider continuing that moratorium until independent inspectors can verify the safety of all the wells in that field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents of Porter Ranch continue to argue that the Aliso Canyon storage field should be shut down permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Tuesday in San Francisco, California Highway Patrol officers arrested protesters Lisa R. Prochello and Kelsey Baker, members of Diablo Rising Tide, after the two scaled the entrance to the building housing the California Public Utilities Commission and deployed a banner beneath the giant seal of the State of California on the front of the structure.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He says that although he’s frustrated by his personal situation, as a state official charged with ensuring transparency in voting and civic participation, he’s happy to see state lawmakers starting to take action to prevent something like this from happening at other gas storage facilities around the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members of the Assembly are \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/03/lawmakers-propose-stripping-power-from-cpuc\">calling for the dismantling\u003c/a> of the California Public Utilities Commission because of the agency’s failure to respond quickly to the gas leak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think there needs to be a new day for the PUC. Have they done a good enough job of overseeing the utilities in different parts of California?” Padilla says, citing the 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-bruno\">explosion in San Bruno\u003c/a> near San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-onofre\">closure of the San Onofre nuclear power plant \u003c/a>north of San Diego because of its history of safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"QpMpEMljYzzgzPkpX8b4AQhUvb10ppMS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big reminder that our oversight of utilities needs to be reformed, and we can’t ignore our aging infrastructure. A lot of times in the Capitol, investment in infrastructure is discussed. It’s usually highways and bridges, and that’s important, but we can’t forget the infrastructure that we don’t see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas leak may be sealed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/05/official-porter-ranch-gas-leak-might-be-sealed-as-early-as-next-week\">as early as next week\u003c/a>. But Padilla says he’s not going to move his family back until he’s totally reassured. “I’ll tell you 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 going to want a third-party validator here. Whether it’s the air quality management district or a state agency to confirm that’s indeed the case,” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla says that even though his family spent Christmas day in the Burbank hotel, he’s grateful. “I remember huddling the kids and reminding them, ‘Look we’re together, we have our health, we have a roof over our head.’ There’s a lot of people in the world, there’s a lot of people in California that can’t say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they can’t wait to return home. “Our youngest just celebrated one year, and seems like his first steps are going to be in a hotel room, not in our living room. Maybe that’s just the story he’ll have to tell the rest of his life.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He says his wife and three young sons began experiencing shortness of breath and headaches soon after a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/porter-ranch\">massive methane gas leak\u003c/a> began near their home in Porter Ranch, an affluent community in the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, when the news story first broke, we immediately went on high alert because the youngest of our boys wasn’t even a year old. He just turned 1 a couple weeks ago. And so you immediately think, ‘Am I putting my kids in any danger?’ ” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife decided not to take any chances. “It’s not the easiest thing to be out of your own home.

He says that although he’s frustrated by his personal situation, as a state official charged with ensuring transparency in voting and civic participation, he’s happy to see state lawmakers starting to take action to prevent something like this from happening at other gas storage facilities around the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members of the Assembly are \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/03/lawmakers-propose-stripping-power-from-cpuc\">calling for the dismantling\u003c/a> of the California Public Utilities Commission because of the agency’s failure to respond quickly to the gas leak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think there needs to be a new day for the PUC. Have they done a good enough job of overseeing the utilities in different parts of California?” Padilla says, citing the 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-bruno\">explosion in San Bruno\u003c/a> near San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-onofre\">closure of the San Onofre nuclear power plant \u003c/a>north of San Diego because of its history of safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big reminder that our oversight of utilities needs to be reformed, and we can’t ignore our aging infrastructure. A lot of times in the Capitol, investment in infrastructure is discussed. It’s usually highways and bridges, and that’s important, but we can’t forget the infrastructure that we don’t see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas leak may be sealed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/05/official-porter-ranch-gas-leak-might-be-sealed-as-early-as-next-week\">as early as next week\u003c/a>. But Padilla says he’s not going to move his family back until he’s totally reassured. “I’ll tell you 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 going to want a third-party validator here. Whether it’s the air quality management district or a state agency to confirm that’s indeed the case,” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla says that even though his family spent Christmas day in the Burbank hotel, he’s grateful. “I remember huddling the kids and reminding them, ‘Look we’re together, we have our health, we have a roof over our head.’ There’s a lot of people in the world, there’s a lot of people in California that can’t say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they can’t wait to return home. “Our youngest just celebrated one year, and seems like his first steps are going to be in a hotel room, not in our living room. Maybe that’s just the story he’ll have to tell the rest of his life.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
