16 ene 2018 — Att: AQUIFER EXEMPTION December 21, 2017 Dear Conservation of California, I'm writing this appeal letter to stop the increase of land and aquifer exemption and expansion in San Luis Obispo County for Sentinel Peak Resources (Oil Field). I live 4 mile from the oil field and it smells very strong when driving through the street that it is located on and I can't image this smell getting any stronger, then it is already. Since I'm a person affected with asthma it only makes it worse, when I drive down that street that the oil field is on or when the winds pick up and carry near my home. It is a know fact that high levels of dangerous chemicals are found in the air near oil and gas sites and it affects people's health in negative ways. ( nausea, headaches, nosebleeds, allergies, respiratory problems, rashes, cancer, congenital heart conditions defects for newborns and etc) The creek on the property of the oil field has a "sharp mirror effect", that is evidences enough that the water is contaminated from oil and etc. In addition, my tap water is treated with bleach and the smell is so overwhelming at times that it frightening to cook or take a shower with that substance in the water, that is a by product of the oil field operations. When I contacted DOGGR to get more answers to my questions by their counsel, Kristen Bailey. I was sent misleading data on a spreadsheet to figure out the numbers that meet under - water and oil data. I asked her to correct the missing data and resend me a new CD, she refused to do so. I need to be frank with you, their is dangerous fracking chemicals in the water wells of the folks that live close to the oil field. There is a cancer cluster in that immediate area of the oil field, that I informed DOGGR about. Need I say more! The lack of inspecting this oil field in a comprehension matter, for many years has caused these cancer clusters to occur. Allowing the aquifer exemption and expansion to be approved is NOT a sane way to handle this current matter with the city water, water wells and land contamination. If allowed to go forward it would cause this beautiful area to become a graveyard at the benefit for the oil companies massive profits and the city taxes, this County would benefit from, including royalties. Please save our loved ones of thousands of dollars by avoiding legal proceedings, save the community from the time and hassle of any legal issues down the road, allows us to inherit are precious peace of mind and heath without any further delays. Please help us stop this oil company from supplying toxic drinking water in our communities and revoke the oil company's license and lease until it can proof it did not commit malice or fraud. And they have met the environmental and constitutional laws of the State, local Cities and assured the citizens of San Luis Obispo County that we have safe and clean water, versus by city or water wells standards. The human rights to water bill AB685. The citizens can sue if a State agency failed to advance the implementation of the right to safe, clean, affordable, accessible water and sanitary water lines and wells. You must provide and improve water conditions to underserved and marginalized communities, it is a constitution right and a law. Any money that the county and cities receives from taxes or royalties is not worth deaths, from contaminated water and land. Please don't have blood on your hands. The testimonials from the community should be honored, as we are the ones that have to deal with these hard difficulties, time consuming and expensive mess of oil spills, crack and leaks. By all measures we are expected to recovery fast and with our concerns NOT validated, it becomes a living hell that no ones will understand unless they live in our shoes. My desired outcome would be to NOT allow the aquifer exemption and expansion, an comprehensive evaluation of the whole oil field, from top to bottom and public viewing of the results and water/land testing of the cancer cluster area from a 3rd party of the home owners choosing, at the expense of the Sentinel Peak Resources. And opportunity to appeal, if necessary by both parties. The community deserves this long over do transparency/ comprehensive report for previously overlooked and current problems NOT documented and backed up by testimony for public view and questions. We have requested this information for many years and it has not come forward, in the same breath how can we trust a company that does not put their name on the line. Thank you for your time and reading my letter. Sincerely, Kim Chaffee
