Description

Last week, I suffered from headaches throughout the entire week. After it went away, I had nausea. Our house is 150 yards from El Toro Viejo Rd. Is there any way we can monitor for methane if this were to happen again?

Update notes

[Oct 7, 2025] Got notified on the 15th about plume observation using a remote sensing technology on a satellite. When plumes are found near communities, they coordinate with CalOES. Informed about the plume on the 17th, and informed CalOES, and they sent out a report 1 hour later. CalGEM & AD were notified and went out for inspection on 9/17. Methane itself is not toxic, but sometimes emitted with other health-damaging emissions. AD issues 3 NOVS an leaks were fixed. CARB’s satellite passed through the same area 10 days later, which showed no signs of leaks.
