Pipeline owner agrees to pay $60M over 2015 California spill.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- The owner of an oil pipeline that spewed thousands of barrels of crude oil onto Southern California beaches in 2015 will pay $60 million to to settle allegations that it violated safety laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday.
It was the worst California coastal oil spill since 1969. Nearly 3,000 barrels of oil were released, or about 100,000 gallons. Plains operators working from a Texas control room more than 1,000 miles away had turned off an alarm that would have signaled a leak and, unaware a spill had occurred, restarted the hemorrhaging line after it had shut down, which only made matters worse, inspectors found.
The consent decree includes $24 million in penalties and more than $22 million in compensation for damage to thePlains also agreed to bring its nationwide pipeline system into compliance with federal safety laws.
