Department of Conservation,
In order to ensure an adequate supply of natural gas to residents and businesses,
and as a Council Member from the City of Diamond Bar, I support the reopening
of the Aliso Canyon Storage Facility.
Natural gas is widely used in homes and businesses throughout California. The
Los Angeles region is highly dependent on natural gas to generate electricity.
Over 60% of the electricity generated in the greater Los Angeles region is
generated using natural gas and roughly 95% of homes use natural gas for
cooking, space heating, and hot water.
On January, 17, 2017, the Department of Conservation’s Division of Oil, Gas, and
Geothermal Resources completed its comprehensive safety review of the Aliso
Canyon Storage Facility. The Aliso Canyon Storage Facility satisfied the
comprehensive safety review for 114 injections wells and the requirements of
Senate Bill 380. For the reasons stated above, I support the re-opening of the
Aliso Canyon Storage Facility.
Sincerely,
Nancy A. Lyons
Councilmember
