While the utility says traffic impacts will be minimal because the work will occur on wide streets, motorists should allow for extra time when traveling through the area, as one-way traffic controls or detours may be in effect. "To limit the amount of trenching and traffic im- pacts, PG&E will generally bore beneath the surface to install pipe," the utility said. "More than 5,700 feet of 2-, 4- and 6-inch plastic and steel gas lines will be upgraded." The work is the last of three phases in the utili- ty's effort to modernize the gas distribution sys- tem in historic parts of Red Bluff, according to PG&E. "In January, PG&E com- pleted the first phase and in March PG&E completed the second phase," accord- ing to the utility. "When the third phase is com- plete, PG&E will have up- graded nearly 12,000 feet of new plastic and steel gas lines." Crews will vent natural gas from pipelines as the project progresses, follow- ing standard safety proce- dures, according to PG&E. "As PG&E vents the pipe, the smell of natu- ral gas and the sound of venting may be notice- able to nearby homes and businesses, depending on wind direction," according to the utility, which added that the natural gas will "quickly" dissipate into the atmosphere and will not be harmful. Anyone concerned about natural gas odors in or around their home or business, however, should call 1-800-743-5000. The cost of the project, PG&E said, is roughly $1.6 million. Pipeline FROMPAGE1 Additionally, Henz said, the plan is to move the airport museum to the second floor of the termi- nal building, essentially swapping the locations of the museum and restau- rant. The project would be funded through desig- nated airport funds and not the city's General Fund. "There is a strong pos- sibility that there will be a big demand upon the air- port budget," Henz said. Henz said advertis- ing a bid proposal could "validate" the project's cost estimates and "make sure that we have enough money in our funds to be able to go ahead and com- plete the project." Moore, the airport com- missioner, said the Airport Commission supports the project.

TheAssociatedPress LOS ANGELES Scientists have spied a vast reservoir of hot, partly molten rock beneath the supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park that'S big enough to fill the Grand Canyon 11 times over. The newly discovered magma chamber — lo- cated 12 to 28 miles un- derground — is four times bigger than the previously known chamber above it, according to imaging by researchers at the Univer- sity of Utah. The discovery fills a miss- ing link in Yellowstone's volcanic plumbing system. But scientists said it doesn't increase the risk of an erup- tion, which is estimated to happen every 700,000 years. Researchers now think hot and semi-molten rock is carried upward from 40 miles beneath the surface to the newly found reservoir and the chamber above it. Yellowstone, which spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is among the world's largest supervolcanoes, with fre- quent earthquakes. The park attracts millions of tourists with its gey- sers, hot springs and bub- bling mud pots. The upper magma chamber powers Yellowstone's geysers and was responsible for three ancient volcanic eruptions that coated much of North America in ash. Scientists mapped the new reservoir by doing the geological equivalent of a CT scan — studying how seismic waves pass through different types of rocks. NATIONAL PARK Huge magma chamber spied under Yellowstone ROBERT B. SMITH — ASSOCIATED PRESS The Grand Prismatic hot spring in Yellowstone National Park's that is among the park's myriad hydrothermal features created by the fact that Yellowstone is a supervolcano, the largest type of volcano on Earth. Scientists have discovered a new, deeper reservoir of partly molten rock beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano. But they said the find doesnít change the chances of a volcanic eruption.
