The exact source of a leak that caused as many as 1,000 gallons oil to seep through the ground has yet to be determined.
LOS ANGELES — Crews are continuing to clean up and repair an oil leak Wednesday in the Rancho Park area, and say it might take two or three days to complete.
The exact source of a leak that caused as many as 1,000 gallons oil to seep through the ground in the Rancho Park area, prompting the closure of a heavily traveled stretch of Sepulveda Boulevard, has yet to be determined. Prange said 500 to 1,000 gallons were believed to have seeped to the surface as of Monday night, and about 20 to 40 gallons escaped into a storm drain before crews were able to contain the leaking material.
Multiple oil pipes run through the area, and various agencies were working to determine which line was compromised. JoJo Comandante, a hazardous materials specialist with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, said the leak may have occurred simultaneously with a leak in a Los Angeles city water line. He noted that the oil managed to leak into a storm drain “unnoticed for 2 miles downstream.”
