CEDARS SINAI DRILL SITE

FAST FACTS
WELL COUNT: 40 
COMPANY: Sentinel Peak Resources
DISTANCE FROM HOSPITAL:  160 feet 

The Cedars-Sinai Oil Site sits dangerously close to Cedars-Sinai Hospital and Beverly Center Shopping Mall, tucked into the back side of the mall neighboring upscale shops that attracts 35,000 shoppers daily.

A gaping hole between the main shopping complex and the street (seen at left) is hidden behind a brick wall that lines San Vincente Boulevard, leaving local residents unaware of the danger lurking in their community. 
THE CEDARS SINAI WELLS' TROUBLED PAST 
​The site sits on the Salt Lake Oil Field, which has had issues with methane seepage. An incident in 1985 lead to an explosion at the ROSS DRESS FOR LESS store located across the street from The Grove where 23 people were severely injured. City of Los Angeles investigators later discovered that a buildup of methane gas from the oil field caused that infamous explosion. 
WHERE'S CEDARS-SINAI EVACUATION PLAN?


HOSPITAL WITHOUT PLAN FOR METHANE LEAK

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which sees hundreds of patients each day, doesn’t have an evacuation plan in the event of an oil emergency.
