Santa Barbara pipeline corroded; what's source of tar balls 100 miles away?
The Hill
Federal inspectors with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration concluded that the Santa Barbara County, Calif., oil pipeline that ruptured and leaked oil into the Pacific Ocean last month was corroded, the Los Angeles Times reports. Meanwhile, the state is trying to figure out if tar balls washing up in Long Beach, more than 100 miles away, are related to the spill.
