Residents, activists and elected officials rallied in Porter Ranch on Tuesday, Aug. 22, demanding that California Gov. Gavin om phase out the Aliso Canyon underground natural gas storage facility located in the Santa Susana Mountains between the Simi and San Fernando valleys. Dozens of San Fernando Valley residents gathered at the corner of Rinaldi Street and Tampa Avenue near the entrance to the facility, which in 2015 became the site of the biggest methane release in U.S. history. The leak went on for more than 100 days, spewing 100,000 metric tons of methane into the air and forcing thousands of people to evacuate from their homes.
