The projects include the sequential drilling of 5-8 delineation wells from a single mobile offshore drilling unit on existing leases in Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters in the Santa Maria Basin and western Santa Barbara Channel. Previously, 28 exploration wells have been drilled in the area where activities are proposed. The purpose of the proposed drilling is to further delineate oil and gas resources on leases or units that have previous commercial discoveries of oil and gas. Delineation wells are a type of exploration well.

The purpose of the scoping process is to solicit public comment regarding the full spectrum of issues and concerns, including a suitable range of alternatives, and the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts and appropriate mitigation measures that should be addressed in the EIS process. It is anticipated that a draft EIS will be available in Summer 2001. | 2000-11-22 | 2000 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/11/22/00-29921/notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-on-exploratory-drilling-activities-in | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-11-22/pdf/00-29921.pdf | Interior Department; Minerals Management Service | 253,289 | In accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to identify and assess potential impacts and mitigation... |
