Air Qualitv: The ~ir Pollution Control District c~nts that the nitru1cn oxide calulon1 created by the drilling rig c-ngines during the drilling of the oil vdla aay ha11c a liiPUicant i11pact. on air quality in the Ojd Valley Alcshed, 'and uy be inconsbtcnt vith the Air Quality Hanaa~t Plan. The applicant shall altigate e11iaaion1 a& nuch ~• feaatble froa the drillinR oprration by o~ of the follow1rg ilc!tbod~, per the approval of the Air Pollution Control District:

a. using utilitr generated electrical power;

c. uning dlc1cl cn1ine1 ~IJuipped with coabu11t1on prechaabers, or usina c011bust!on timing retardation;

d. obtainin3 emission offsets.

15. ~i~eset: Activltie1 Involved in drilling :ind (IS'Oduction of oil a1,1d gas could inv9lve a risk of upset !Uch as oil spills, caissions to the air, nuuence odors, well blovo•it., fire or explosion.

ln reg.ard to ~ulativc ispacts, the co-ittee determined thllt the "no•• finding wu appropriate for t.lle follovin& reuon1. The proposed wells will be drilled one at.
