The FBI has joined the investigation of the Orange County oil spill to determine whether any criminal violations occurred.
Officials raised concerns in the 1970s about plans for oil platforms off Orange County.
An Oct. 4 letter that instructed Amplify not to restart the San Pedro Bay pipeline until it was proved safe says that the alarm indicated “a possible failure” and that the operating company shut down the pipeline 3½ hours later, at 6:01 a.m. The 2:30 alert also appears as an incident time on both federal and state reports from the company’s risk management firm’s call to federal authorities. Willsher has said the company first saw oil in the water at 8:09 a.m. Oct.
The offshore traffic jams have forced ships to wait well beyond their usual times, dropping their enormous anchors near oil platforms and an underseaThe Coast Guard and NTSB are focusing on a period early this year when heavy winds may have pushed large vessels over the pipeline. They are examining which vessels were in the vicinity on Jan. 24 and 25 and are gathering data on every vessel traveling near the pipeline since last October.
An initial ship strike may have moved the pipeline, which was last inspected in October 2020, without breaking it. Another collision, or possibly a geological event, could have either “increased the fracture or caused the whole thing,” U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Jason Neubauer said.
