The federal agency in charge of pipeline safety is accepting public comments on a request by Sable Offshore to restart an oil pipeline that caused a huge oil spill near Santa Barbara in 2015.

Sable is hoping to restart the Las Flores Pipeline, a 124-mile pipeline starts at offshore oil platforms and ends in Kern County, in California’s Central Valley. The pipeline has been inactive for the past decade after the spill that coated wildlife in oil and forced the shutdown of multiple beaches along the Gaviota Coast.

In a Jan. 22 application, Sable requested a special permit from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration that would let it bypass certain pipeline safety regulations along two sections of the pipeline. The company claims restarting the pipeline would  “help address the national energy emergency” declared by President Donald Trump on his first day in office.

In a Feb. 24 notice, the agency seemed to lean toward approving the request, saying that granting the permit “would not be inconsistent with pipeline safety.”

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration accepting comments on the pending application until March 26. Please see the public notice for more information.
