Environmental groups echoed that warning, with Dan Jacobson of Environment California saying, “The more we drill, the more we spill," noting that despite California's high standards for clean gas and oil, there is always the potential for mishaps.

A unified command included the state's Office of Spill Prevention and Response, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office and Carbon California. As of Wednesday, there were no reports of wildlife impacted by the oil, but authorities asked the public to report any sightings to 1-877-823-6926.

Roughly 420 gallons of crude oil spilled into Sisar Creek between Ojai and Santa Paula in Ventura County.

North Coast Rep. Jared Huffman said that the cancellation of the leases “will happen when we take back the House of Representatives in little over a year.”

Cleanup was underway Wednesday in a wooded, remote area of Ventura County after about 420 gallons of crude oil inundated a waterway, officials said, and crews were working to beat the upcoming storm.

The plan has been met with strong opposition from California Gov. Gavin Newsom and is likely to draw bipartisan pushback in Florida, as well.
