Technical Report · Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 EDT 1984

OSTI ID:5823834

The final environmental impact statement (EPA No. 8403328F) on Exxon's plan for oil and gas development and production in the Santa Barbara Channel involves construction of three or four new drilling and production platforms that would double oil production to 80,000 barrels and gas production to 90 million cubic feet per day. Positive impacts of the project would be the resource production over a 25 to 35-year period, employment opportunities, and economic benefits to the area. Negative impacts would be changes in the littoral transport of sediment and water flow, reduced marine water quality, pollution from spills, and a number of environmental and socio-economic disruptions. The impact statement is called for by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953.
