acific Gas & Electric Co. faced another financial hit for shoddy record
keeping Wednesday as a state hearing officer recommended a $24.3 million
penalty for lapses in natural gas records leading to a March 2014 explosion
that destroyed an unoccupied cottage in Carmel.

The California Public Utilities Commission has already fined PG&E $10.8
million for the Carmel explosion, which also damaged three nearby homes. A
CPUC administrative law judge recommended the additional penalty Wednesday
for the company’s failure to keep accurate records of gas line locations,
resulting in digging that damaged pipelines, interrupted gas service and
ultimately caused the explosion. Failing to keep those records is a
violation of state regulations.
