AQMD vs. So Cal Gas
Share/Save

The South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing Board met on Tuesday, February 28th and then on Thursday, March 2nd, to vote on whether or not to terminate the Abatement Order against So Cal Gas Company’s Aliso Canyon Facility in light of the settlement agreement between AQMD and SoCalGas. The PRNC submitted a comment letter on both days asking for a NO vote because the settlement agreement does not satisfy the requirement of the Abatement Order. Other letters were submitted by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, by Dr. Jeffrey Nordella, and Senator Henry Stern. Several of our board members, as well as other stakeholders, and a representative of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health drove out to Diamond Bar to testify on both days. Unfortunately, the Hearing Board decided on March 2nd that it had no legal ground to continue the abatement order although the completely agreed that the health study was grossly underfunded by the settlement agreement, and they lay the blame squarely on the AQMD for executing the settlement agreement with the gas company.

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.
