Unocal oil discovery and commerical drilling started in 1948. Operations ceased in 1994.
Due to diluent (a kerosene-type hydrocarbon added which helps crude oil move smoothly) spillage, over 18 million gallons of petroleum leaked into the surrounding area. A massive clean-up of the area began in 1999.
