“The utility company whose blown-out natural gas well forced the evacuation of thousands of people in the Los Angeles area faced criminal charges on Tuesday for failing to report the massive breach to the authorities.
With the criminal complaint, Southern California Gas Company faces mounting legal challenges for its response to the underground blow-out of its natural gas storage well, which was discovered on 23 October.
Earlier on Tuesday, the state of California joined a lawsuit against the firm.
In the criminal proceedings, SoCalGas was charged with failing to inform the authorities immediately upon discovering the blow-out at Aliso Canyon storage facility, and for spewing contaminants into the air.
The blow-out in one of the country’s largest natural gas storage wells was the largest known to experts, and is currently the single largest source of climate change pollution in California.”
