An underwater oil pipeline that ruptured off the coast of Huntington Beach in 2021 and sent thousands of gallons of crude gushing into the Orange County waters is being put back into service.
An underwater oil pipeline that ruptured off the coast of Huntington Beach in 2021 and sent thousands of gallons of crude gushing into the waters of Orange County is being put back into service, its operator said.
Amplify said it began refilling the pipeline last weekend, a process that will take about two weeks. The firm said the pipeline will operate under procedures approved by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, which regulates the nation’s 2.6-million-mile pipeline network.The oil pipeline’s return to operations marks the end to a “very challenging last 18 months,” Chief Executive Martyn Willsher said in a statement.
The cleanup from the spill was relatively quick. But the legal wrangling that followed was protracted, punctuated by a series of multimillion-dollar settlements over who was at fault: the company that owned and operated the pipeline, or the container ships accused of damaging the pipeline with their anchors during a bad winter storm nine months before the spill.
