Developed and Undeveloped land in Kern County. Current Zoning Classifications and General Plan Map Code Designations to remain the same.
Document Description
The originally approved project consists of an amendment to Title 19 Kern County Zoning Ordinance (July 2012), with focus on Chapter 19.98 (Oil and Gas Production), to include new site development standards for all oil and gas exploration, extraction, operations, and production activities in unincorporated Kern County. The DOGGR, as the CEQA responsible agency, will be issuing a permit for the proposed project activity, which consists of the following:
Aera Energy LLC (Aera) proposes to hydraulically fracture 14 wells. It will include placement of portable tanks and all ancillary equipment to support the closed loop system, as well as the well simulation treatments. The wells are in a densely developed oilfield (South Belridge) and are scheduled to be drilled. Fluids from the WST will be collected in a closed system and will not be discharged onto the ground or into sumps. Flow-back fluids from the wells immediately after WST operations will be collected in the closed system at the well site. The collected fluid will be transported from the well sites for treatment in Aera's water treatment facility.
