LOS ANGELES (CN) - Chevron violates laws on transportation of hazardous oil products through pipelines in La Mirada, says a class action by homeowners in Superior Court. They say Chevron has concealed the dangers of the pipeline and "has been operating on a 'don't ask, don't tell' mentality."
The Chevron pipeline runs for miles, borders on numerous private homes, puts people at serious risk, but "Chevron willfully and knowingly fails to comply with the myriad of regulations concerning the notification of and education regarding hazardous liquid pipelines, so as not to alert the residential homeowners of their existence on their property and 'awake the sleeping giant,'" the complaint states.
Plaintiffs are represented by Patrick McNicholas.
