SAN PEDRO (CBSLA.com) � A California Congressman is urging the
federal government to step up its regulation of a San Pedro tank
farm that houses 25 million gallons of highly explosive gas.

The disputed facility is located on North Gaffney Street, where
some tanks hold massive amounts of liquid petroleum product,
including explosive ingredients like butane and propane, just
1,000 feet from homes, schools and businesses.

CBS2/KCAL9's Dave Bryan reports U.S. Representative Henry Waxman
wants a thorough safety inspection of the tank farm.

He says regulation of such volatile, flammable facilities must
be made tougher and more effective.

�The law ought to require that first responders be able to deal
with this situation, that they have a plan in place for any kind
of emergency. We need to protect the surrounding community from
an explosion, whether it�s from a terrorist attack or an
accident. And the government has not acted at the federal level
to do that,� Waxman said.

Waxman cited contradictory conclusions following inspections by
two federal agencies � the EPA and the Homeland Security
Department � leaving residents, some of whom live just a block
or so away from the storage tanks, not knowing what to think.

For some local activists, the towering 80-foot storage tanks are
monuments to a decades-long political battle to shut down the
facility.

No one, no one has investigated the real safety of this
facility. It is absolutely just a ticking time bomb,� San Pedro
activist Janet Schaaf-Gunter said.

�We�ve been battling this for decades � decades � And no one�s
been listening.�

Part of the anxiety of local residents was the EPA warning that
the operators of the tank farm had not properly shared the
emergency and evacuation plans with local first responders � a
key element in preparing response for firefighters, police and
medical personnel when trouble does strike.

The operators of the plant say that problem has been
significantly addressed.

They say the plant has been in operation for nearly 40 years
without a single major incident, and that they have a very
robust program of inspecting and replacing damaged or old
pipelines that need to be replaced.

A spokesperson also said the facility has been audited dozens of
times just in the last year and no major violation was found.
