Our regulatory program emphasizes the wise development of oil, <br />natural gas, and geothermal resources in the state through sound engineering <br />practices that protect the environment, prevent pollution, and ensure public safety. <br />Northern California is known for its rich gas fields. CaIGEM staff have reviewed the <br />documents depicting the proposed project. <br />The proposed project is a Site Approval application to establish a medical facility, <br />including a women's health facility and hospital with heliport, in two (2) phases (Use <br />Types: Public Services - Essential). The proposed project includes a Development <br />Agreement application, which, if approved, will permit Phase 1 improvements to be <br />constructed over five (5) years, and Phase 2 improvements to be constructed over ten <br />(10) years. Phase 1 includes the construction of a 36,000 square foot women's health <br />center. Phase 2 includes the construction of a 140,000 square foot hospital facility, a <br />28,000 -medical office building, a 6,000 square foot waste treatment facility, a 4,000 <br />square foot physical plant, a 2,000 square foot water treatment facility, and a heliport. <br />The attached maps show the location of a known gas well that was converted to a <br />water well in July of 1962. This well is referred to as the "North Stockton Unit A" 1 well, <br />AP1:0407700519. Based on the project map submitted, the well could be within the <br />construction area. No other wells impact or are impacted by the proposed work. Note <br />that the Division has not verified the actual location of the well nor does it make specific <br />statements regarding the adequacy of abandonment procedures with respect to <br />current standards. <br />Forfuture reference, you can review wells located on private and public land at <br />CaIGEM's website: haps://maps.conservation.ca.gov/doggr/welifinder/#close <br />The local permitting agencies and property owner should be aware of, and fully <br />understand, that significant and potentially dangerous issues may be associated with <br />development near oil and gas wells.
