A new law awaiting the governer's signature would ban new oil drilling in neighborhoods and create a buffer zone around homes, schools and other areas. John Ramos shows the impact on Contra Costa County.
SACRAMENTO -- New legislature on Governer Newsom's desk would would ban new oil drilling in neighborhoods and create a buffer zone around homes, schools and other areas.
He's lived there for nearly 20 years and said he didn't realize when he bought the property that it was sitting on an old, abandoned oil field. "It mixes in the air," he said."It would start flowing all over our atmosphere and it has been proved, scientifically proved, that such things would cause a lot of health problems."
That proposal is now in limbo, with the County demanding more information, but it may not matter. Because, if signed by the Governor, SB 1137 would ban any new oil drilling, or new permits for old wells, within 3,200 feet of public areas, like homes or schools.
