(<\/b>ANTIMEDIA<\/b><\/a>)<\/b>\u00a0Los Angeles, CA \u2014<\/i>\u00a0California Governor Jerry Brown finally declared a\u00a0state of emergency<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, concerning the ongoing, currently\u00a0unstoppable<\/a>\u00a0methane gas leak\u00a0spewing<\/a>\u00a0from Aliso Canyon that has created a nightmare for residents of Porter Ranch.<\/div>\n

\u201cI will tell you, this goes well beyond Porter Ranch. We\u2019ve had complaints from as far as Chatsworth, Northridge, and Granada Hills,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0emphasized<\/a>\u00a0Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander during a Porter Ranch town hall meeting on December 28.\u00a0\u201cApparently this plume of toxic chemicals and whatever it might be, doesn\u2019t know zip codes [\u2026]\u00a0<\/i>This is the equivalent of the BP oil spill on land, in a populated community.<\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Aliso Canyon sits less than two and a half miles from Porter Ranch and less than 30 miles from the city of Los Angeles \u2014 the second most populous city in the United States \u2014 whose outlying total statistical area\u00a0includes<\/a>\u00a0nearly\u00a018 million<\/i>\u00a0residents, as of 2013.<\/div>\n

Brown has been widely criticized for lack of decisive action on the leak, which is erupting from its underground storage area with all the\u00a0force<\/a>\u00a0\u201cof a volcano.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Under Wednesday\u2019s\u00a0declaration<\/a>,\u00a0\u201call state agencies will utilize state personnel, equipment, and facilities to ensure a continuous and thorough state response to this incident.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Porter Ranch residents have been evacuating the area for some time, though SoCalGas\u2019 rather maladroit handling of the relocation procedure has been a nightmare \u2014 and the cause for a mounting\u00a0number<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0lawsuits<\/a>, including one from the L.A. city attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
