Not as much fun or as potentially popular as shootin' all the turkeys in town.— January 16, 2016 3:33 p.m.

It all depends upon the nature of the plume. How much in the way of carcinogens such as benzene, what kind of petroleum products and how much, how long it's been there, exactly where is it and where is it going how fast or slow, how deeply and how near the surface. If it is not an approved injection well, it's illegal. Much of the San Diego River's water flows beneath the surface of the "flood plain" (river bottom). I do not have these data, and I do not know if any wells are tapped into the water table--but someday we might want to do it. Then we could light pretty flames at our kitschen faucets.— January 16, 2016 3:29 p.m.

Great idea. Except a turkey shoot would be better.— January 16, 2016 12:23 a.m.

If a rain like 1916's comes along, the different state of the watershed (higher Q) because of all the pavement, roofs, landscaping, brush removal and the like will cause us to believe that the dam has broken even if it hasn't.— January 16, 2016 12:20 a.m.

Yes, it is a "flood plain." But it is primarily a braided river channel which raises and lowers. Its channelization has created a public health and safety problem by confining it to an overly-narrow channel to create real estate by artificially filling building sites. In addition to so-called "flood" hazards, it is a disaster waiting for the next earthquake. You will see "incredible" liquifaction and carnage. If the dam breaks, the whole mess will be washed out to sea, and perhaps we will then learn our lesson. But I'm not holding my breath. We've got bigger things to worry about from other damnedfool was of making a killing--e. g. The San Onofre waste "facility."— January 16, 2016 12:15 a.m.

The "plume" has contaminated the water table, and will continue to do so until the leaks are fixed and the site is mitigated by cleaning it up. It should not take a lawsuit to do that, just an EPA investigation and daily fines until it is cleaned up. If not, by the time it reaches the Robiinson's basement pumps and blows the place up, the lawsuits should finish off Kinder Morgan, with major change left over. And the government can be sued for willful neglect. "We has met the enemy, and he is US!" --Pogo— January 16, 2016 12:07 a.m.

In any case the plume should be mitigated and the leaks stopped. Better yet, the fuel tanks should be relocated. Mission "Valley" is a misnomer. It is a RIVER that has been encroached upon by development that should never have been built.— January 15, 2016 5:28 p.m.

You're a real mensch, Mr. Bauder. A model for our youth on what a real man is. Even though a "fan," you are responsible enough to face up to the realities.— January 15, 2016 5:22 p.m.
