“The Danny C. commercial dive work boat arrived off the Summerland shore on Sunday night to begin the capping of two leaking wellheads.

Commercial divers, hired by InterAct of Ventura, are working to seal off leaking Treadwell and NorthStar oil wells. The entire operation is expected to take two weeks, according to the California State Lands Commission, but leaders of the project are hopeful that a third oil well will be sealed in that duration. . .”
