Local officials worry about the environmental impact of the spill on the wetlands, wildlife and the economy
A Southern California beach that had been closed since an undersea pipeline leaked crude into ocean waters last week is set to reopen on Monday, the officials announced on Sunday night.
The city and state beaches in Huntington Beach, California will reopen after the water quality tests revealed no detectable levels of oil associated toxins in the ocean water, the Huntington city and the California State Parks said in a news release.
They are still urging visitors to avoid areas that smell of oil and not to touch any oiled materials that washed ashore.
