Sun Oil seeks permit for marine power cable at Summerland beach
Sun Oil Co DxX Division has filed with the County Planning Commission to install a marine power and communications cable near Lookout Park to feed an onshore substation. The project would connect to a nearby Union Oil platform about 5.5 miles offshore, with power likely sourced from the Southern California Edison substation in Toro Canyon slated for replacement. Air Force Sgt Ronald H. Fick, a former Lompoc student, received the Airman's Medal for heroism at Kadena Air Base Okinawa on March 10, 1969 after he rushed to a burning fuel truck by an aircraft, extinguishing the flames.
