Chevron MWSS 21S Property Line and Well 20 Sump “21S Restricted Entry Area” Do not enter red outlined area without approved safety plan N Outline of restricted area 22S TRC 21S CVX Photo 2 March 2015 Red outlined area should not be entered without approval of the Chevron 21S Diatomite OS. Site specific safe work plans must be developed and approved prior to entry. Well 20 Sump Expression Area 21S Property Line (dashed line) & Unstable Bank Area Due to the instability of the embankment between Chevron and TRC properties, Chevron has extended the Do Not Enter Area (“21S Restricted Area”) to include the area from the embankment to the flow lines that run west of Chevron wells H225 and 204R. The K- rails no longer define the Do Not Enter Area and will be removed. This area is outlined in red on the aerial photo. Chevron requests that no one enters the red outlined area without contacting the Chevron Operations Supervisor and developing a written safe work plan prior to entry. The Chevron Supervisor can be contacted at 661-768-8032. Chevron will work with the DOGGR to safely obtain photos or other data in this area if access to this area is required.

The Embankment Can be Stabilized 6

TRC Embankment Work June 29, 2015 June 29, 2015 1200 hrs June 29, 2015 Issues of Concern Excavated a vertical wall Created areas of undercut with respect to the top of the embankment Illustrates further destabilization of the embankment by TRC TRC’s make shift retaining wall anticipates further collapse 10
