Incident Archive
The complete set of public incident records Tarline collects for the California coast, from four independent sources: NOAA IncidentNews case pages, raw National Response Center caller reports, satellite oil-signature detections, and California Spill Watch response notices. Search the text, narrow to one source, and page through the whole history.
Every row here is a source report, not a confirmed release. National Response Center entries in particular are self-reported by callers with no agency verification step, satellite detections are possible signatures rather than sampled oil, and a report saying nothing about a beach is not evidence that the beach was clean. Follow the link on a row and read the original record before citing it.

Caller reporting multiple vehicles from multiple businesses idling at the incident location discharging automotive fumes and oils to the air and soil. The area is reportedly treated as an 'underground' commercial vehicle auto shop. The waste oils were stored in underground tanks that have been dug up and impacted soil has been excavated in the past. There is a heavy fuel odor and cloud due to the fumes. Despite this, the actions have continued and are done under cover of night - outside of enforcement hours - under tarps. Caller noted wildlife/vegetation impact to the area and fires in the past. The actions are reported to be against code; there is an existing order to clear the land. Local agencies have been notified with no results. Residents in the area are on well water and there is concern of water contamination. This dumping has ongoing for at least 7 years and has been reported on for at least 1 year. Local news has reported on the property.
