Cesar Aguirre, of the Central California Environmental Justice Network, received pictures from two Arvin residents showing white vehicles in front of an oil well. It turns out the oil well was being inspected for a possible gas leak. 

The pictures showed white vehicles in front of an oil well, feet away from homes. The cars belonged to the California Geological Energy Management division, along with the California air resources board and the San Joaquin Valley Air District.

“So it turns out the state had sent multiple agencies to do inspections at wells within 3,200 feet from homes. It turns out 40% of the wells that they inspected, which was over 60 of them, had leaks, many of them had explosive levels. This is one of those wells,” Cesar Aguirre with the Central California Environmental Justice Network said.
