Pipeline company evades questions over a 15-hour gap before reporting oil spill 

by Anita Chabria, Laura J. Nelson, and Adam Elmahrek, Los Angeles Times (October 9, 2021) – Rebecca Craven, program director of Pipeline Safety Trust, said Amplify has failed to publicly explain how it responded to signs of a possible failure in the pipeline. “An operator would undoubtedly make an argument that they needed to confirm the discharge before being obligated to report, but that would not account for the time between shutdown and reporting, and wouldn’t even account for much of the time between the pressure alarm and the shutdown,” she said.
