What We Do Our own survival as a species needs The People to make "fully informed" decisions about the safety aspects for the well-being of human, flora, fauna, and Earth. We utilize hard data with scientific thinking to promote biodiversity in the Habitat as needed for ecosystem survival. We nurture interrelationships for a gentle and sound stewardship, for this and future generations. We seek the full disclosure of subject matter in order for The People who SHARE this planet to make a fully informed decision.

Citizens Coalition for a Safe Community has requested
an injunction to stop PXP drilling in the Inglewood oilfield until a proper "industry standard" study of health and safety issues in the PXP oilfield and adjacent neighborhoods is done. More than 200,000 people living around the PXP / Baldwin Hills / Inglewood
oilfield are at risk and may be directly impacted by the future drilling. Broken Dreams is a 16 minute movie about PXP's
Inglewood Oilfield and its neighbors' health and safety woes. What to expect when living next to the PXP oilfield
Smelling fumes in your backyard? Toxic? Wondering about those cracks in your
walls and foundation? Could they be PXP's fault? Tom Williams, an oil industry expert, explains that for the last 20 years refineries have been held to a much higher standard than oilfields. Oilfield operators are getting a "free pass" on air quality standards and expanded drilling. Cancer, asthma, broken buildings, and broken dreams may be the price we pay.

Playa del Rey storage field overview 4 megabyte pdf
Excerpt:
The Playa del Rey storage field was originally an oil field that produced during the 1930s. Following more than ten years of production, the pressure in the field dropped to a level that was less viable for oil production, but very suitable for natural gas storage. In 1942, the U.S. government initiated underground storage of natural gas as part of ...
Grassroots Coalition fighting for you
Since 1993, Grassroots Coalition's President Patricia McPherson has lead the fight for full disclosure of health and safety issues related to oil field gases at Playa Vista and the surrounding areas. Grassroots Court Victory against Playa Vista and LA City In October 2005, the California Appellate Court vacated the approval of the Playa Vista Phase I Methane Mitigation System and ordered the City to determine whether to perform a Supplemental or Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) according to CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). The Appellate Court agreed with Grassroots Coalition and its co-plaintiffs that the effects of dewatering (removal of water) as part of the methane mitigation measures and the methane mitigation systems ability to perform properly had not been studied. Issues to be studied include cumulative impacts of dewatering; cumulative subsidence and contamination spread, and performance of the 50' vent wells, dewatering as it affects the wetland habitat, recharge rate of the aquifer, salt water intrusion and waste water issues. Grassroots Victory against Sempra Energy (Southern California Gas Company) in Playa del Rey On December 20th, 2007 the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a settlement agreement of complaint cases relating to the natural gas storage field owned and operated by The Gas Company in the Playa del Rey area of the City of Los Angeles. To fully understand this Grassroots victory read the full: Sempra Energy "Important Information about Playa del Rey Natural Gas Storage Operations" above.
