Santa Paula (Spanish for "St. Paula") is a metropolis in Ventura County, California. Situated amidst the orchards of the Santa Clara River Valley, the city advertises itself to tourists as the "Citrus Capital of the World".[11] Santa Paula was 1 of the early centers of California's petroleum industry. The Union Oil Company Building, the founding headquarters of the Union Oil Visitor of California in 1890, now houses the California Oil Museum.[11] The population was xxx,657 at the 2020 demography, upward from 29,321 at the 2010 census.

History [edit]

The surface area of what today is Santa Paula was originally inhabited by the Chumash, a Native American people. In 1769, the Spanish Portola trek, beginning Europeans to see inland areas of California, came down the Santa Clara River Valley from the previous night's encampment near Fillmore and camped in the vicinity of Santa Paula on August 12, near 1 of the creeks coming into the valley from the north (well-nigh probable Santa Paula Creek). Fray Juan Crespi, a Franciscan missionary traveling with the expedition, had previously named the valley Cañada de Santa Clara. He noted that the party traveled about nine to 10 miles (14 to sixteen km) that twenty-four hour period and camped well-nigh a large native village, which he named San Pedro Amoliano.[12] The site of the expedition'due south arrival has been designated California Historical Landmark No. 727.[xiii] [note ane] [note ii] [14]

Franciscan missionaries, led by Father Junipero Serra, became active in the area later on the founding of the San Buenaventura Mission and established an Asistencia; the town takes its name from the Catholic Saint Paula. Santa Paula is located on the 1843 Rancho Santa Paula y Saticoy Mexican land grant.

In 1872 Nathan Weston Blanchard purchased 2,700 acres (10.9 km2) and laid out the townsite. Considered the founder of the community, he planted seedling orange trees in 1874.[15] [sixteen] Several small-scale oil companies owned by Wallace Hardison, Lyman Stewart and Thomas R. Bard were combined and became the Union Oil Company in 1890.[17] [18]

Santa Paula was incorporated in April 1902.[1] Lewis Arthur Hardison was the outset mayor.[ii]

1st Mayor of Santa Paula, CA (1902), Lewis Arthur Hardison 1853-1921

In April 1911, Gaston Méliès moved his Star Film Company from San Antonio, Texas to a site only n of Santa Paula.[19]

The large South Mountain Oil Field southeast of town, just across the Santa Clara River, was discovered past the Oak Ridge Oil Company in 1916, and developed methodically through the 1920s, bringing farther economic diversification and growth to the area. While the field peaked in production in the 1950s, Occidental Petroleum continues to extract oil through its Vintage Production subsidiary and remains a pregnant local employer.

A major expansion began in 2016 when structure started on a 500-acre (200 ha) master-planned customs of ane,500 homes.[20]

Disasters [edit]

The town has been devastated twice past floods and was affected by a nearby truck explosion that resulted in an industrial disaster.

Floods [edit]

The Cracking Flood of 1862 began on December 24, 1861, when it rained for almost four weeks, reaching a total of 35 inches (890 mm) at Los Angeles. The failure and nigh consummate plummet of the St. Francis Dam took identify in the middle of the night on March 12, 1928. The dam was holding a full reservoir of 12.4 billion gallons (47 billion liters) of h2o that surged down San Francisquito Canyon and emptied into the Santa Clara River. The town was commencement hit by the waters at approximately three:00 a.m. Though hundreds of homes and structures were destroyed, the loss of life would have been greater if it were not for ii motorcycle constabulary officers that noisily warned as many people as possible.[21] A sculpture called "The Watchers" in downtown Santa Paula depicts this act of heroism.[22]

Santa Clara Waste Water institute industrial disaster [edit]

A vacuum truck exploded at the Santa Clara Waste Water plant in the early morning hours of November 18, 2014. Ii workers were injured in the initial explosion, three responding fire-fighters were injured by the fumes from the spill of a highly volatile chemical mixture, and l others were exposed to fumes and required treatment at local hospitals.[23] [24] The driver was transporting waste from a temporary storage drum to a processing center when he stopped to take a meal interruption.[25] The rear of the truck exploded, spreading a white liquid over a 300-past-400-human foot expanse (91 by 122 grand) that spontaneously combusted every bit it dried and was sensitive to daze, pressure and the application of water or oxygen. The tires of the first fire truck on the scene and the boots of iii firefighters sparked small-scale explosions when they collection and walked over the substance every bit they went to aid the injured workers.[26] [27] The incident evolved into a disaster when later in the forenoon additional materials began to burn and explode, which resulted in a 3-mile-long plumage of toxic fume (4.8 km) and the closing of Highway 126.[28] Chemical smoke drifted over the area and nearby residents and businesses were required to evacuate.[29]

Cause [edit]

What was initially reported every bit sewage was found to exist about 1,000 US gallons (3,800 fifty; 830 imp gal) of a chemic mixture consisting of some sort of organic peroxide.[30] In the commencement days of the investigation, officials speculated that two inert chemicals accidentally mixed in the truck and created an organic peroxide substance with sulfuric acid actualization to exist part of the mix.[31] Organic peroxide combines unstably bound oxygen together with hydrogen and carbon in the same molecule and ignites easily then burns speedily and intensely. While field testing was performed on the reactive material for initial identification, the county hazardous materials managing director found that laboratories would not examination the chemicals over concerns that lab personnel could be injured or their equipment damaged. Iii weeks afterward the incident, the substance was nonetheless highly susceptible to friction and seemed to react to something every bit slight every bit current of air.[32] Sodium chlorite was identified in an internal investigation past the firm in the months post-obit the disaster. They claimed that the chemical was beingness using as a water treatment agent for the first time and was stored in the same type of storage container as wastewater.[33] [ dead link ] The worker combined the chemical with wastewater in the vacuum truck where the chemic interacting with organic textile caused an explosion that blew off the back of the truck. A former county district attorney, retained by a visitor attorney, issued a report in March 2015 that provided an explanation of events indicating that the worker may have accidentally combined the chemicals.[33] [34] Subsequently, investigators plant that an inspection by a Defense Logistics Agency contractor was scheduled for that morning and officials of the firm had directed the transfer of these hazardous materials to another location.[35]

Aftermath [edit]

Although the explosion and resulting fumes caused injuries including the lungs of three fire-fighters who remained off-duty indefinitely, the textile scattered around the site was found to be non-hazardous for clean-up purposes.[36] The two fire engines that arrived start remained out of service for months and may ultimately take to be scrapped. The Ventura Canton Sheriff declared a local emergency so the Ventura County Lath of Supervisors could ratify the activity and allow the county to seek reimbursement for its costs from country disaster relief funds.[34] [ dead link ] [37] [38] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency oversaw the decontamination of the site. The material was neutralized and solidified on site.[36] Tons of material were eventually taken to the Chiquita Canyon Landfill in nearby Castaic. Almost three months later on February 10, 2015, the Canton Supervisors concluded the emergency announcement.[39] With the permit to operate suspended, the house needed to cease removing the waste materials and provide a program that would show how some other such incident would exist prevented before being allowed to offset accepting liquid waste again. County regulators and county supervisors also wanted the city of Oxnard to concord to accept the waste matter water over again after an analysis of the safety of the pipeline.[40]

On August seven, 2015, a Ventura County one thousand jury indicted the Santa Clara Waste H2o Co., the affiliated Dark-green Compass and ix company executives and managers.[41] Post-obit the indictment, the commune attorney had the nine defendants arrested on suspicion of several felonies and misdemeanors, including filing a false or forged instrument, dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, known failure to warn of serious curtained danger, withholding information regarding a substantial danger to public safety, conspiracy to commit a crime, causing impairment of an employee's body, and disposal of hazardous waste.[42] Eight individuals have pleaded guilty or no contest while one is awaiting trial. The two corporate entities reached an agreement in June 2019 subsequently they had already paid nigh $800,000 in restitution.[43] [41] [44] [45]

Site [edit]

The facility at 815 Mission Rock Road, Santa Paula, provided service to over 30,000 waste product generators. At the time, it had received and processed over 2,000,000,000 US gallons (7.6×109 l) since it opened in 1959.[46] The company says they care for nigh 100 unlike streams of waste.[32] The owner of facility said that they never had a major problem such as this since the plant only takes not-hazardous waste.[47] The chapters of the facility was increased to handle up to 100-United states of america-gallon-per-infinitesimal (380 l; 83 imp gal) or 140,000-US-gallon-per-solar day (530,000 L) by 2014.[48] The facility provides an environmentally rubber and legal ways of treating, disposing and recycling of contaminated but non-hazardous waste equally an alternative to dumping untreated wastes into municipal sewer systems or into the environment. The institute uses centrifuges, electrocoagulation, carbon and micron filtration, ozone injection, dissolved air flotation, and chemical treatments. Treated waste water is sent through a pipeline to the Oxnard municipal treatment institute.

A consortium of vi major oil companies (Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, Crush, Texaco and Unocal) established Santa Clara Waste H2o to service their internal disposal needs. Somewhen the site became a total-service disposal facility for most non-chancy wastewater and was renamed Southern California Waste H2o.[40] [46] The site is located in a 91-acre industrial area (37 ha) that is surrounded past agronomics and located about 2-mile southwest (3.two km) of the Santa Paula urban center limits. Green Compass that operates the facility also operates a Class Two injection well in Kern County that is tailored toward oilfield production and completion fluids. The simply other commercial facility for disposal of oil field waste in the county, operated by Anterra Corp. in Oxnard, temporarily expanded operations later on the incident.[49]

Wildfires [edit]

Thomas Burn down [edit]

In Dec 2017, the Thomas Fire broke out nearby. While it was the largest wildfire in modern California history at the fourth dimension, the Santa Ana winds drove the burn toward Ventura and Santa Barbara. Over a thousand structures were destroyed which included a few out buildings just outside the city. It was finally confirmed to exist fully contained in January 2018, and a reported 281,893 acres (440 sq mi; 114,078 ha) had burned. I fire-eater and 1 noncombatant were the only fatalities directly caused by the burn. The toll of the fire rose to be an estimated $297 million.

Maria Fire [edit]

On Oct 31, 2019, the Maria Fire was reported called-for at the peak of S Mountain betwixt Santa Paula and Somis and expanded throughout that evening.[l] Heavily influenced by 20-30 mph winds within the canyons, the fire became a full scale conflagration, growing from fifty to 750 acres inside an hour, to over 4,000 acres (16 km2) after several hours.[50] [51] The fire worked its way north towards Santa Paula where the topography of the Santa Clara River Valley which can serve as a funnel for Santa Ana winds.[52] Mandatory evacuations were ordered for a wide swath of over 1,800 homes surrounding the fire area, affecting over seven,500 residences.[50] [51]

Economy [edit]

Orangish grove outside of Santa Paula, California.

While agriculture is the nearly of import industry in Santa Paula today, the city experienced an economical boom after oil was discovered in 1880.[53]

The economy is primarily agriculturally based, originally focusing on the growing of oranges and lemons.[53] Santa Paula'southward mediterranean climate combined with an estimated twenty feet (six.1 m) of topsoil have fabricated it a prime number location for growing citrus. Avocado has besides become a major ingather and an avocado was added to the urban center'southward official seal. Calavo Growers, Inc. is headquartered here.[lx]

Santa Paula has very few large retail stores but residents often travel to neighboring cities to purchase hard appurtenances. The Main Street expanse consists generally of vesture shops, specialty shops, novelty shops, dollar stores, restaurants, service-oriented businesses and part space.

A 501-acre expansion (203 ha) on the eastern edge of Santa Paula was canonical in 2015. This residential and commercial development by Limoneira was known as "East Surface area Ane" for the purpose of approval. Officials and residents were hoping this major expansion of the city would create new jobs and increment tax revenue for the cash-strapped city.[61] When the projection was first proposed in 1997, concerns were raised that Limoneira was beginning to develop their all-encompassing holdings of prime farmland.

The Santa Clara Valley represents one of the best preserved examples of a mature Southern California mural of citrus groves.[sixteen] [63] Tourists find a town with a main street reminiscent of Heart America in an agricultural setting preserved through Ventura County'south greenbelt agreements.[16] The California Oil Museum,[64] within the historic Matrimony Oil building, is located downtown, as are the Santa Paula Fine art Museum[65] and Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum.[66] The Santa Paula Mural Projection has completed numerous murals depicting the city'southward history.[67] [68]

Infrastructure [edit]

The Santa Paula Earth Station

The Santa Paula Water Recycling Facility was built in 2010 for $63 one thousand thousand to care for the city sewage.[69] Santa Paula Water, a partnership of two corporations, financed, built and operated the facility under the agreement with the metropolis. The city purchased the facility for $70.eight million in 2015 to accept control and cease a dispute over the failure of the plant to sufficiently remove chlorides. Although the new plant used modern treatment methods, the treated wastewater contained contaminants called chlorides that must be removed under state law earlier being discharged into the Santa Clara River.[70]
