Document Description
Occidential of Elk Hills, Inc. (OXY), proposes to conduct a three-dimensional seismic survey project to provide improved geological data for OXY lands on the former NPR-1 and adjacent Bureau of Lands Management, Department of Energy, and private lands. This Environmental Assessment covers the approximately 24,800 acres located on Off-Elk Hills lands only. The survey will be conducted along approximately 49 source line transects (1,100-foot spacing). The survey will be conducted using helicopters and ground crews to deploy seismic detectors (geophones) connected to seismic cable (receiver lines). Seismic sources will be generated by either detonation or Vibroseis technologies. The survey is scheduled to begin in early July 1999, and is expected to conclude in February 2000.
