Northern California power and gas company Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) said on Friday its McDonald Island gas storage facility in San Joaquin County remained out of service after the company detected small methane leaks from some of its wells in June.
PG&E discovered the small leaks during an inspection the state required of gas storage operators after the massive leak discovered in October from Southern California Gas’ (SoCalGas) Aliso Canyon storage facility in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. That leak, the state’s largest ever, was not plugged until February and area homeowners had to relocate.
