Map of Power Run Oil Company Wells in Torrance
Slide Presentation from Neighbors Appealing to City Council to Enforce Rules
These wells are still active less than 1 mile from Hermosa Beach and just another example of why you don't want an oil company as your neighbor. Keep in mind these wells have been in operation since 1978 so the people moving here chose to live near these areas.
Power Run Oil had a spill in 2002 that took 3 years to mitigate the odor. See the full presentation from the Torrance, Granicus. I find it also interesting that if you look on Zillow the homes near the oil sites worth 20% less than others in the neighborhood. How much is the City of Torrance and the schools benefiting from this oil operation?
