Tejon Ranch Co. filed a lawsuit to halt construction of the Angeles Pipeline, which would transport 330,000 barrels per day of crude oil from offshore Santa Barbara and Kern County to Los Angeles Basin refineries. The company, a cattle production and farm operation, has asked Los Angeles County Superior Court to order the state transportation department to set aside its approval of the pipeline because the environmental impact report failed to adequately address air and water pollution problems. The 135-mile pipeline would originate in Kern County, cross the Tehachapi Mountains and 26 earthquake faults, including the San Andreas.
