SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 29 (UPI) -- More than two dozen animals have died as a result of contact with oil residue left over from the spill off the coast of California, a unified command said.
As much as 2,500 barrels of oil was released from Line 901 in Santa Barbara last week, a pipeline owned and operated by Plains All American. About 500 barrels may have reached the waters off the coast of Refugio State Beach in a release the Environmental Protection Agency said was the worst spill in California in the last 25 years.
