Hello Shafter CSC,
The District is sharing the message below on behalf of the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM).
Hola Comité Directivo de Shafter,
El Distrito está compartiendo el siguiente mensaje por parte de la División de Administración de Energía Geológica de California (CalGEM, por sus siglas en inglés).
Good evening, Shafter CSC members,
Due to the recent storm events in the southern and central parts of our state, the Methane Task Force joint inspections of oil wells in Shafter planned for this week have been postponed to a later date.
Many local and state resources in the southern half of the state are responding to high-water/storm impacts. And, local flooding this week could create potential road access challenges for field staff. Our staff will be assessing road conditions to determine when it is feasible and safe to reschedule the joint inspections. As soon as new inspection dates are confirmed, we will follow up with a community update.
Thank you,
California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the Valley Air District
Buenas tardes, miembros de Shafter CSC,
Debido a las recientes tormentas en el sur y centro del nuestro estado, las inspecciones conjuntas del Grupo de Trabajo Sobre Metano de los pozos de petróleo en Shafter planificadas para esta semana se pospusieron para una fecha posterior.
Muchos recursos locales y estatales en el sur del estado están respondiendo a los impactos de las tormentas/aguas altas. Además, las inundaciones locales de esta semana podrían crear posibles desafíos de acceso a las carreteras para el personal. Nuestro personal evaluará las condiciones del camino para determinar cuándo es factible y seguro reprogramar las inspecciones conjuntas. Tan pronto como se confirmen las nuevas fechas de inspección, haremos un seguimiento con una actualización a la comunidad.
Gracias,
División de Gestión de Energía Geológica de California (CalGEM), Junta de Recursos del Aire de California (CARB) y Distrito del Aire del Valle
