California's hydrogen pipeline bill, SB 804, hands oversight to a state agency with no experience regulating gas pipelines — while leaving the real safety gaps - such as leak monitoring, and setback distances, completely unaddressed.

A ruptured gas line can make a fire worse. Fire shutoff valves (FSVs) close automatically when exposed to high heat, such as a fire, which stops the flow of gas to the structure.

This is San Bruno, California — September 9, 2010. A gas pipeline ruptured, killing 8 people and destroying 38 homes. It took over an hour to shut off the gas. Rupture Mitigation Valves could have significantly reduced that timeline.

In 2020, Congress passed the PIPES Act of 2020, mandating that PHMSA create rules to modernize its leak detection and repair standards as well as mitigate intentional emission events. PHMSA submitted a final rule to the Federal Register but the rule was never published.
