Holmes Western Oil Corporation is seeking approval from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division to rework existing oil well API #0401924069, known as Well 8-3, located in the Jacalitos Oil Field in Fresno County, California. The project is scoped as a minor, four-day operation during the spring season with no new construction or surface expansion required. All activities will be contained within existing facilities, utilizing temporary equipment including a Production Rig, Rig Pump, Cement Truck, Bins, Storage Tank, and Tubing, with transportation handled by vehicles for personnel, supplies, and waste. The rework will involve the use of 350 barrels of produced water sourced from the nearby Jacalitos Production Facility, transported via vacuum truck, and 22.8 barrels of fresh water provided by the cementing service company. The project has been determined eligible for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, due to its minimal environmental impact, alignment with existing operations, and lack of significant land alteration or vegetation disturbance. Regulatory oversight and permitting authority reside entirely with CalGEM, which will issue the necessary approval for the well rework based on compliance with established state regulations, including California Code of Regulations sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, as well as Health and Safety Code sections 1684.1 and 1684.2. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the well site upon completion of operations, with the contractor responsible for ensuring all activities adhere to environmental and operational standards. No formal contract value, line-item pricing, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are documented, as this is not a federal procurement but a state-regulated environmental permitting action. There are no identified payment offices, accounting codes, invoicing systems, contracting officers, or procurement evaluation factors, and no federal entity identifiers, size certifications, or affirmative representations are included. The project is managed through the state’s environmental review system, with all correspondence directed to CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, and public access available via the CEQANet portal.
