Compressor station threatens school children, denies community voices

Right across the street from my children’s future elementary school sits the Southern California Gas Company compressor station in Ventura. The facility has had a bad track record of leaks and violations over its 100-year history as an industrial and fossil fuel site. As a result, the soil is contaminated with lead, diesel fuel, and many other known carcinogens.  The Westside of Ventura has had a long history and toxic relationship with the fossil fuel industry. That s why the area is identified by the EPA as a disadvantaged community already facing some of the highest levels of pollution in California. Over 70% of our community is also Latino. And yet, SoCalGas is once again targeting our community as a sacrifice zone by attempting to double the size of their dangerous gas compressor station and rushing their fundamentally flawed cleanup plan. 

Natural Gas Leak Prompts Evacuations in Downey, No Injuries Reported

Stewart and Gray Road was closed from Paramount Boulevard to Rives Avenue due to the leak, SoCalGas said. About 8:30 p.m., the utility company said it would take another eight hours to repair the leak and residents in the area should plan to be evacuated until at least Friday morning, the Downey Patriot reported. Residents and businesses in the area were advised that they may smell a natural gas odor while SoCalGas crews and first responders worked to stop the leak and make permanent repairs. A countywide notification regarding the gas leak was sent out at about 12:30 p.m. The city of Downey tweeted about 3 p.m. to explain the notification was released using a new emergency notification system and only intended for residents in the area.
