After two spills among the wind turbines of the Altamont Pass, Shell Oil Co. is replacing more than 12 miles of pipeline that carries crude from Central Valley oil fields.

Two ruptures in September 2015 and May 2016 spilled a total of about 60,000 gallons of crude oil. Be sure to check out Ted Goldberg's coverage of these oil spills in the Bay Area's backyard.
