Aliso Canyon Gas Project To Begin
Share/Save

On Nov. 14, 2013, the California Public Utilities Commission approved Southern California Gas Company’s (SoCalGas) request to replace obsolete equipment used to inject natural gas into its Aliso Canyon storage reservoir in Northridge with state-of-the-art technology to help meet the region’s demand for natural gas. We provided the community with information about the Environmental Impact Report Process in April of 2012. 

Construction will begin in December 2013 to relocate the guard station currently located on Sesnon Road, as an initial first step.  David Meza, Public Affairs Manager for the Southern California Gas Company writes, "We will keep you informed every step of the way through quarterly community meetings, letters outlining progress on construction and through a quarterly community newsletter.  When operational in late 2016, the new equipment will result in a significant reduction of emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases at the site."

SoCal Gas describes the facility as follows: SoCalGas’ Aliso Canyon storage facility is the largest of four such facilities in southern California. This natural underground reservoir allows us to safely inject and store natural gas when prices are lower, and withdraw the gas for our customers when prices and demand are high. This helps to protect customers against price spikes and helps to maintain reliable natural gas supplies. The natural gas, most of which comes from the Rockies, the Southwest United States and California, is stored thousands of feet below the earth’s surface in depleted oil fields, below impermeable layers of rock and geologic formations.

The Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council is an organization that is officially certified by the City of Los Angeles to increase our influence with City lawmakers and departments to improve our community.

The PRNC came about as a result of Los Angeles City Charter Reform and interested stakeholders in our community. The Board is elected by stakeholders and holds monthly meetings, usually on the first Wednesday of the month. The agenda is emailed to those who subscribe (see the green box in the upper corner), on our website here and posted at 11280 Corbin Avenue, Northridge, CA 91326 on a bulletin board facing Corbin street.

The Board is comprised of volunteers who want to help you make Porter Ranch a better place to live, work and grow. We can't do it for you, but we can do it with you.
