SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. federal government issued an order to Plains All American Pipeline to ensure the California coastline is restored after last week's oil spill.
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.
