Amplify Energy says it has cleared all regulatory hurdles and, last weekend, took steps to resume operations.
The pipeline that ruptured and spewed aboutis being refilled with oil and is expected to be in use again sometime this month, pipeline operator Amplify Energy said Monday, April 10.
Bradshaw’s organization mentioned the Huntington Beach spill in a federal lawsuit it filed late last year, seeking tougher rules on everything from offshore oil equipment to inspection schedules to the financial rules of closing operations. “If this is the status quo, we’re on a bad trajectory,” he added. “We could see a much larger oil spill any day.”and agreed to pay a $7.1 million criminal fine, said in a press release Monday that it began the process of filling the pipeline over the Easter weekend and hopes to resume full operations within two weeks.
Separately, Amplify recently won a settlement with companies that own ships that dragged anchors over the pipeline in early 2021, without notifying authorities that they’d done so. The court ruled that those incidents created the conditions that led to the pipeline rupture. “If an incident occurs again, they’ll have a rapid shut-off of the system. And a far faster notification for the folks who could be affected,” said John Villa, executive director of the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy, which controls four marsh areas between Beach Boulevard and the Santa Ana River.
“Did we learn some lessons? Darned right. And I’m hoping this never happens again. But if it does, we’re in even better shape to handle it,” Villa said.
