State Lands Commission Arrives at Summerland Beach

The State Lands Commission arrives at Summerland Beach today (12/2) to start construction for capping “Duquesne,” a leaking Summerland Beach well. The operation will take place from 12/2-12/7, at extremely low tide (which will be in the middle of the night). HTO Field Advisor Harry Rabin worked with SLC engineers to accurately locate the Duquesne wellhead. This represents the 4th well capped at Summerland Beach since 2020, which HTO collaborating with SLC on all of them. Ohlsson 805, another beach well, was capped in August 2021.
