Texas pipeline company charged in California oil spill 

by Brian Melley and Matthew Brown, Associated Press (December 15, 2021) – Pipeline safety advocate Bill Caram said the indictment paints a picture of a reckless company. “I understand there are false positives on leak detection systems but this is our treasured coastline,” said Caram, director of the Bellingham, Washington-based Pipeline Safety Trust. “The fact that they kept hitting the snooze button and ignoring alarms, stopping and starting this pipeline and all the while leaking oil in the Pacific Ocean is reckless and egregious.”
