As Porter Ranch residents continued to express concerns over a leaking methane gas well, the Federal Aviation Administration banned planes from flying over the area until early next March.

The temporary flight restriction was posted on the FAA's website Thursday and will expire March 8. It prohibits any aircraft from flying within a half-mile radius of the site, and extends up to 2,000 feet above the surface.
The development comes more than six weeks after natural gas was discovered seeping from an underground well at the Southern California Gas Company's Aliso Canyon storage facility in the Santa Susana Mountains.
Representatives from the private utility told the Los Angeles City Council last week that they would stop using the well after the leak was fixed, but cautioned it could take months
