> As part of the Federal government’s Coronavirus Guidance for America, transportation infrastructure is considered an “Essential Critical Infrastructure.” > Additionally, transit capital projects are not subject to the State of California’s Stay at Home order, therefore Metro construction projects continue to progress. Updated personal protective equipment (PPE)

COVID-19 Compliance

4

> Construction activities continue to progress on all active Metro projects, including the Crenshaw/LAX, Purple Line Extension and Regional Connector Transit Projects. > Due to reduced traffic conditions during the Stay at Home orders, local jurisdictions are allowing the Agency to work through “peak hours” on a case by case basis. > Metro’s contractors are following safety precautions during the pandemic, including implementing social distancing when applicable and the use of masks and other PPE.

SLIDE 30

Oil Well Investigation and Research

During community outreach meetings in 2018, we outlined plans for investigating underground wells at the BHHS. As part of the EIS/EIR phase, the Project Team:  Reviewed historic maps and photographs,  Researched geological data bases,  Obtained historic well records and consulted petroleum industry experts

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31

31

Potential for Encountering Abandoned Oil Wells during Tunneling

What has been done?  Other historic maps with oil well locations have been obtained and evaluated  The subway has been aligned to avoid the documented oil well locations  Magnetometer surveys have been performed along the alignment to screen for the presence of oil well casing

Potential for Encountering Abandoned Oil Wells During Tunneling

What will l happen if a w well ll is found along the alignment nt?  The alignment could be slightly adjusted to avoid the well, or  Supplemental cement plugs could be installed within the well casing beneath the tunnel alignment and the well casing at, and above, the tunnel alignment  The well will be removed with CalGEM’s oversight

What other er pre reca cauti tion

  • nary

ry me measures res did Metro ro take? e?  In late 2019, additional magnetometer surveys were performed along the subway tunnel alignment beneath the BHHS  The surveys were conducted using horizontal direction drilling (HDD) equipment

Facts About the Located Oil Wells

 The recently discovered “legacy” oil wells are more than 100 years old  These previously-abandoned wells were found more than 200 feet from where they were depicted on existing maps  Wells need to be re-abandoned because they do not meet current CalGEM standards
