Signal Hill Petroleum Conditional Use Permit 97-03 Extension Project

Signal Hill Petroleum Conditional Use Permit 97-03 Extension Project

The City of Signal Hill (City), as lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed 20-year extension of Signal Hill Petroleum’s (SHP) Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 97-03. SHP is seeking to modify CUP 97-03 with the following objectives: 1. Extend the life of the CUP by an additional 20-year term. 2. Continue existing consolidated drill site operations, including drilling new wells within the existing CUP footprint on an as needed basis, to continue providing a local source of high-quality oil, natural gas, and electricity, and install upgrades to a natural gas processing system. SHP would continue to operate the CUP facilities (Drill Sites and Central Processing Facilities) in accordance with the existing City Municipal Oil and Gas Code, conditions of approval and mitigation measures, and in continued compliance with existing county, state, and federal requirements, including those published by California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). SHP would also continue ongoing ‘by right’ oil and gas operations consistent with the City’s Oil and Gas Code (Signal Hill Municipal Code – Title 16) and CalGEM requirements, as applicable.
