7.3 Agricultural Commissioner's Records <br /> Live Oak contacted the San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's Office <br /> regarding agricultural use of the site. According to Hiromi Hernandez of that <br /> office, the Site has been used to grow almonds, alfalfa, wheat, and tomatoes <br /> during the past five years. A variety of agricultural chemicals have been applied <br /> to the Site during that time, as indicated on the attached table in Appendix 4 <br /> (personal communication, November 22, 2019). <br /> 7.4 Department of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources Maps <br /> The California Department of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) <br /> Well Finder website was queried on December 3, 2019 for mapped oil or gas <br /> wells within one-quarter mile of the subject Site. According to DOGGR, the Site <br /> is located between the Union Island, Roberts Island, and Lathrop gas fields <br /> (Plate 7). One gas well was identified on the Site, a plugged, dry hole identified <br /> as the Towne Exploration Company's "Bomberger" 1 (API 0407720059). The <br /> well was drilled and abandoned in 1968; pertinent records are attached in <br /> Appendix 6. <br /> Four additional gas wells were identified within approximately one-quarter mile of <br /> the Site: <br /> • Gary Drilling Company "Bomberger" 1, a plugged, dry hole, located <br /> approximately one-quarter mile west of the Site. <br /> • Occidental Petroleum Corporation "Mobil Parcel V 1, a plugged, dry hole, <br /> located approximately one-quarter mile south of the Site. <br /> • TXO Production Corp. "A. Lucas" 1, a plugged, water disposal well located <br /> approximately one-quarter mile south of the Site. It appears based on <br /> records on file at DOGGR that this well was converted into an injection <br /> well in 1976; fluids were to be injected below 3,645 feet. The well was <br /> abandoned in 1988. <br /> • Arcady Oil Company "Woods" 36-1, a plugged, dry hole, located <br /> approximately one-quarter mile east of the Site. <br /> Gas well development can generate brine and hazardous materials. These fluids <br /> are often disposed in injection wells. The well on the Site and those on the <br /> surrounding properties were drilled and abandoned under the oversight of <br /> DOGGR. Environmental risks are present with any well drilling or drilling fluid <br /> disposal; however, no evidence was encountered to indicate specific <br /> contamination that would affect the Site as a result of past gas well operations. <br /> LOGE 1949 6 <br />
