Tonight, March 21 the Ojai Valley MAC will meet at 7 p.m. and review a project planned by Mirada Petroleum -

• From the Agenda ". Review of Mirada Petroleum Project, PL13-0158 (Agnew lease): Applicant requests CUP to authorize continued operation of an existing oil and gas production facility consisting of three existing oil wells, tanks and gas flare, and to allow the drilling of three new wells. The 20-acre site is accessed via Koenigstein Road 2,000 feet north of Hwy 150 in Upper Ojai east of Summit School. Project CEQA documents can be found at the links below:

This case involved a mapping error caught by Citizens for Responsible Oil and Gas (CFROG). County planners said their office made the mistake, and put the project outside the boundaries of the Ojai Valley Area Plan, when in fact the project lies within those boundaries. 

Project within the boundaries of the Ojai Valley Area Plan require review/comment opportunity from the city of Ojai and other environmental review standards such as air quality impacts.
