Amplify CEO Martyn Willsher told reporters at a press conference on Monday that the company was working to find the source of the leak. However, Orange County Attorney General Todd Spitzer, in the same press conference, seemed to go on the offense against the company.

“They should not be able to go anywhere near that pipeline,” Spitzer said of Amplify. Spitzer also said that “nothing is off the table yet” in terms of holding Amplify legally responsible for the spill and damage.
