Document fenceline conditions along the Lost Hills Oil Field roadside, the public roadside along the Lost Hills Oil Field fenceline, Lost Hills, CA 93249
Lost Hills sits with the nearest active oil-field wells only about a quarter mile from town and no government air monitor closer than 30 miles away, and there is no standing, dated photo/observation record of visible flaring, venting, dust, or odor along the public roadside nearest the field. Standard: CARB Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources (SNAPS) community air-monitoring practice + EPA ambient-air-monitoring guidance, applied fenceline-adjacent to an active oil field; SDG 3.9/11.6. Proof: document-only photo/odor-log set from the public road, well back from any well pad or tank battery + GPS + condition tag + ranked follow-on list Method (EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5), ~45-90 min): 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway. 2. Photograph each monitoring location. 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period. 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic). 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference. 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: calibrated PM2.5 monitor, GPS phone, wind/weather note source, hi-vis vest, camera Done when: PM2.5 logged at >=3 points (near-source / mid / background); Wind direction + time recorded; Source-activity observation recorded; GPS waypoints + location photos
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5)
Bring
- calibrated PM2.5 monitor
- GPS phone
- wind/weather note source
- hi-vis vest
- camera
Steps
- 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway.
- 2. Photograph each monitoring location.
- 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period.
- 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic).
- 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference.
- 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Roadside work near heavy traffic -> stay off travel lanes; hi-vis at all times.
- Near-source PM2.5 well above background and NAAQS -> flag an environmental-justice exposure concern.
What counts as done
- PM2.5 logged at >=3 points (near-source / mid / background)
- Wind direction + time recorded
- Source-activity observation recorded
- GPS waypoints + location photos
