Grant Description: Torch/Platform Irene Spill occurred on September 28, 1997, when a 20-inch pipeline operated by the Torch Operating Company, ruptured between Platform Irene, an offshore oil plant in the Santa Barbara Channel, and an onshore processing facility north of the City of Lompoc in Santa Barbara County. The Spill released at least 163 barrels of petroleum into the Pacific Ocean and contaminated 17 miles of northern Santa Barbara County coastline and caused the mortality of seabirds, principally Common Murres (Uria aalge) and Brandts Cormorants (Phalacrocorax penicillatus). A four member oil spill Trustee Council was formed consisting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), California State Land Commission, and U.S. Department of Defense (Vandenberg Air Force Base).
