To whom it may concern:
On November 18th, abandoned Well “Frazier” 26-24 (02904514) was leak-tested for the
presence of fluid or gas around the exposed surface plug casing. The test results indicate
there was no gas or fluid detected during the inspection.
As indicated in Public Resources Code (PRC) § 3106, the California Geologic Energy
Management Division (CalGEM) has statutory authority over the drilling, operation,
maintenance, and abandonment of oil, gas, and geothermal wells, and attendant
facilities, to prevent, as far as possible, damage to life, health, property, and natural
resources; damage to underground oil, gas, and geothermal deposits; and damage to
underground and surface waters suitable for irrigation or domestic purposes. In addition
to CalGEM's authority to order work on wells pursuant to PRC §§ 3208.1 and 3224, it has
authority to issue civil and criminal penalties under PRC §§ 3236, 3236.5, and 3359 for
violations within CalGEM's jurisdictional authority. CalGEM does not regulate grading,
excavations, or other land use issues.
If during development activities, any wells are encountered within the parcels (APN
53501051) the property owner is expected to immediately notify CalGEM's construction
site well review engineer and file an amended site plan for CalGEM’s review.
If you have any questions, please contact Rohit Sharma at (661) 666-8584. The above
referenced technician can be reached at (661) 322-4031.
