Tuesday, May 19, an onshore oil pipeline belonging to the Plains All American Pipeline Company, was supposedly “well below capacity” and leaked crude oil into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. As of May 21, 7,770 gallons of oil water have been cleaned up out of the 100,000 gallons that were leaked. It is expected to take weeks to clean up the oil, while it may take years to have the ecosystems revert to normal (read more about the environmental effects at NBC). Plains All American Pipeline is no stranger to accidents; besides this incident, it is accountable for 16,000 gallons of spilled oil and $23 million worth of property damage. The company has accumulated 175 federal safety and maintenance violations since 2006. The investigations as to what caused the spill is currently underway. Read more about the spill at CNN.
