Erin Brockovich gets involved in a California gas leak
Sam's three-year-old daughter, Mongeo Bella, has been coughing nonstop for weeks, and the rest of the family is suffering from migraines, nosebleeds, and fatigue. It's all because of a major gas leak near her home in Porter Ranch, in the upscale northwest Los Angeles community where a state of emergency was declared this week. The leak was discovered on Oct. 23 in the Aliso Canyon natural gas well, operated by Southern California Gas Company (LocalGas), at a depth of 2,651 meters. It is one of the largest natural gas facilities in the United States. The origin of the leak is unknown, but it appears to have been caused by a pipeline rupture approximately 500 feet below the surface. Several attempts to plug the leak by injecting fluids and drilling mud have failed, and Gazprom is currently drilling a pressurized well to secure and plug the damaged well. The work is expected to take several months, from late February to March.
