Plan. Environmental
Status: Mitigated Negative
Declaration. Project Description: The
project proposed by Venoco Corporation is to drill up
to nine (9) total exploratory oil and natural gas wells. There are three proposed
sites (1b, 7a, 34b) each site will contain up
to three (3) exploratory oil and gas wells on a
single pad. The drilling of the second and then the third
exploratory wells on each pad is dependent upon the results of the testing for
the first well. The project will be completed in
two phases: 1) a site preparation
phase, road grading for the purpose of access
to each of the proposed sites; and development of
pads to locate a stable drilling platform for the exploratory drilling equipment
and the construction of ancillary non
permanent structures; and 2) the drilling and testing phase.
The project will require Use Permits for each parcel as required under the
zoning code because the wells are located on
separate parcels. Well site #7a, is located
in Section 7, (Township 24 South, Range 11 East). The site is approximately
0.60 miles south west of Highway 101 and approximately
0.90 miles south east of Jolon Road, (Assessor's Parcel Number
424‑101‑023‑000). Well site #1bis located in Township
24 South, Range 10 East, Section 1, .5 miles west of Highway 101 and 0.20 miles north
of Jolon Road (Assessor's Parcel Number
424‑081‑016‑000); and well site #34bis located in
Township 23 South, Range10 East, Section 34. The site is approximately
2.2 miles west of state Highway 101 and approximately
0.90 miles north of Jolon Road (Assessor's Parcel Number
423‑091‑040‑000). The three project sites are located along
the west side of Highway 101 within the
South
County Area Plan. The project
will require a total of 30,010 cubic yards of grading. The soil will be
redistributed on each site to create a pad
for each of the three drilling platforms. Project site 7a will require
2,770 cubic yards of cut and 2,560 cubic
yards of fill. Project site 1b will require
8,970 cubic yards of cut and 8,240 cubic
yards of fill, site 34b will require
18,270 cubic yards of cut and 16,320 cubic
yards of fill. The remainder 2,890 cubic yards of spoils will remain on each
respective site.
Recommended Action: Continue to September 30, 2010.
