On March 29, 2016, the County Board of Supervisors passed a motion entitled “Proactive Planning and Enforcement of Oil and Gas Facilities Operating in Unincorporated Los Angeles County”. This motion in part directed the Director of LA County Planning in coordination with the Fire Chief, the Interim Director of Public Health and the Director of Public Works to convene a Strike Team to assess the conditions, regulatory compliance, and potential public health and safety risks associated with existing oil and gas facilities in the unincorporated Los Angeles County. Additionally, the Strike Team was to report back in writing on a biannual basis with a summary of its findings and recommendations.
