Position Statement
Beaches in Orange County were devastated in October 2021 by a 126,000-gallon oil spill from a broken pipeline that created a 13-mile-long oil slick. This legislation ensures Californians have a seat at the table to receive and review these necessary plans to make certain oil facilities are prepared in the unfortunate event of an oil spill. California State Parks Foundation supports this legislation because it protects wildlife and nature for future generations.
