Chevron has agreed to pay more than $13 million in fines for dozens of past oil spills in California
. The California-based energy giant agreed to pay a $5.6 million fine associated with a 2019 oil spill in Kern County. The company has already paid to clean up that spill. This money will instead go toward the state Department of Conservation's work of plugging old and orphaned wells. The department said it was the largest fine ever assessed in its history.
These accounted for more than 446,000 gallons of oil spilled and more than 1.48 million gallons of water that killed or injured at least 63 animals and impacted at least 6 acres of salt brush and grassland habitat, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response. The Department of Fish and Wildlife said it was the largest administrative fine in its history. Most of the money will go to projects to acquire and preserve habitat.
