RE: Termination of Lease Nos. PRC 3133.1, PRC 4000.1, and PRC 7911.1
Dear Mr. Cappel,
On June 28, 2019, the California State Lands Commission terminated State Oil
and Gas Leases PRC 3133.1, PRC 4000.1, and PRC 7911.1 (the Leases). As a result,
all entitlements to occupy or develop State of California lands within the previously
leased areas for purposes of extracting mineral resources, have ended.
Pursuant to the California Coastal Sanctuary Act of 1994 (Pub. Resources Code
§ 6240 et seq.), the termination of the Leases now places the leased lands within the
California Coastal Sanctuary. Mineral extraction on lands within the sanctuary is
prohibited by law.
Sincerely,

JENNIFER LUCCHESI
Executive Officer
