Conservation groups today announced a legal agreement securing the permanent closure and restoration of 11 long-dormant oil wells inside the Carrizo Plain National Monument, a unique landscape in central California famous for its vibrant springtime wildflower displays and rare wildlife.
The agreement also formalizes the expiration of the Trump administration’s approval of a new oil well and pipeline in the national monument without any development.
