EPA Superfund sites --- ok I did not know about this until this thread... omg!
I just recently found out the Shoreline Park in Mountain View used to be a landfill for most of bay area and SF. Today it is open to enjoy like it's some natural bird sanctuary.. yet there are pipes underground extracting methane 24x7 and I think I found a methane release valve last weekend right next to a jogging path... Can anyone confirm plz? => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq3CnXU5OtU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq3CnXU5OtU
- DrScump 7y agoMethane outgassing is a known issue within the Shoreline Amphitheatre itself! It's built on a former dump. During the earliest events there in the 1980s, concertgoers seated on the lawn set it afire when trying to smoke! (And, yes, it's misnamed. It's a theatre, not an amphitheatre.) There are EPA Superfund sites all over the valley. One of the worst was across the street from the Ice Center and Spartan Stadium.
