The Department of Conservation proposed to adopt new regulations governing underground gas storage chemical inventory and root cause analysis. The regulations would, among other things, define “gas storage well chemical inventory,” expand operator risk management plans, establish well-specific well control plans, and address prevention and mitigation protocols regarding corrosion evaluation and monitoring. A hearing will be held June 4, 2024. Comments are due June 5, 2024. See https://oal.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/166/2024/04/2024-Notice-Register-No.-16-Z-April-19-2024.pdf (pp. 443-49).
