## Summary

On July 9, 2025, the EPA entered a settlement agreement with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to resolve violations of the Clean Air Act and the 2020 Accidental Release Reporting Rule (40 CFR Part 1604). PG&E failed to report an accidental release of natural gas from a pipeline in San Jose, CA, which caused serious injury to a PG&E employee on June 8, 2023. PG&E has since submitted a report to the CSB containing the required information about the release and will pay a civil penalty in the amount of $45,273 under the settlement.
