Holmes Western Oil Corporation is authorized by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to perform a three-day rework operation on existing well 5-2, identified by API number 0401925486, located in Section 8 of the Jacalitos Oil Field in Fresno County, California. The work is confined to the existing well pad with no expansion of use or disturbance of undeveloped land, qualifying the project for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4 exemptions, which apply to existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction of existing infrastructure, and minor alterations to land. The project is scheduled for completion during the spring season and will be performed without any new construction, environmental impact, or facility expansion. CalGEM serves as the lead regulatory agency responsible for permitting and oversight, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site at the well location, confirmed by precise geographic coordinates. No contractual pricing, contract value, or payment details are specified, and the document constitutes an environmental exemption notice rather than a traditional procurement contract. The point of contact for technical and administrative inquiries is Catherine Calantas at CalGEM, while Scott Grodewald represents the contractor. All activities align with CalGEM regulatory standards under 14 CCR §§ 1684.1 and 1684.2, and no federal acquisition regulations, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, representations, or special contract clauses are applicable or included in the documentation. Submission for environmental review is facilitated through the CEGAnet portal, with correspondence directed to CalGEM’s Bakersfield office.
