Chevron has agreed to pay $13.1 million in fines and penalties for a series of oil spills in California, specifically in Kern County, Bakersfield. The settlement, which addresses a major spill in 2019 and over 70 smaller spills from 2018 to 2023, involves payments of $5.6 million to the California Department of Conservation and $7.5 million to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The fines were levied after an investigation by @MyDesert & @ProPublica uncovered that companies were profiting from illegal spills amid lax oversight by California.
