Adams Blvd. has harmed community health. The oil operators have repeatedly violated the law and the site’s operating conditions. Meanwhile the City has refused to give our community the same protections it gave to wealthier, whiter, West LA neighborhoods more than a quarter century ago. Years of community advocacy have finally moved the City of LA to schedule a Nuisance Abatement Revocation public hearing to consider closing the drill site. Program: Community testimonies: Hear from residents that have experienced health harms and other negative impacts of the Murphy oil site. Regulatory violations: An overview of the operator’s history of regulatory violations that threaten the health, safety and wellbeing of our community Health harms: Dr. Jill Johnston from the University of California at Irvine will share research about public health harms of oil drill sites, including her research on the cardiovascular and respiratory harms from living near the Murphy Drill Site. Legal landscape: Earthjustice attorneys, Angela Johnson-Meszaros and Byron Chan, will discuss the nuisance abatement revocation process and explain the most compelling arguments for the closure of the Murphy Drill Site. Public hearing preparation: Receive materials to support your preparation for giving public comment at the virtual public hearing.
