Arvin council passes oil and gas restrictions; will others follow?

As it stated in When the Arvin City Council began working on an ordinance that would place restrictions on new oil and gas operations near neighborhoods in Arvin, the local oil industry began to get a little nervous. Indeed, attitudes in Arvin may have begun to change when residents were directly affected by oil operations in the small farm town. In February 2016, the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, imposed a $75,000 fine on the owner and operator of the pipeline and several oil and gas wells in Arvin. Even California Attorney General Xavier Becerra weighed in on Tuesday night's action by the Arvin City Council. Thanks to the important ordinance passed by the City Council, that unfortunate reality will begin to change," Becerra said in a statement Wednesday.
