(Representatives: Matthew Wickersham Alston & Bird LLP, Ty Thompson, Warren Resources, Inc.) from the determination of the LACPC that the issuance of a Zoning Administrator’s Interpretation (ZAI) that interprets “well maintenance” is not a “Project” as that term is defined by CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378; that even if this ZAI is determined to be a Project under CEQA, it is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment; and that if this ZAI is determined to be a Project under CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Class 8) and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to an exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies, as the environmental clearance for this ZAI applicable to oil/gas well operations in the City of Los Angeles, issued by the Chief Zoning Administrator on June 12, 2025, interpreting the meaning of “well maintenance” in the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC), as activities triggering a “Rework Permit” from the California Geologic Energy Management Division and/or notification per South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1148.2 for “Well Rework” and/or “Injection” including one or more of the following activities: acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, gravel packing, maintenance acidizing, matrix acidizing, and acid fracturing; for the City of Los Angeles.
