Oil from a ruptured pipeline near Santa Barbara, Calif., leaked into the Pacific Ocean earlier today, spreading into a four-mile-long slick and fouling an area beach.

The cause and exact amount of the spill are unknown, but it could reach more than 500 barrels (~21K gallons), according to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

The pipeline, owned by Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA), has been shut off.
