E&B Submits Project Application for Oil Drilling

The company hopes voters will want them to recover oil from underneath the ocean off the Hermosa Beach coastline. Their application sets in motion steps leading up to a future public vote by the city's registered voters to approve the project.

E&B Natural Resources Management Corp., the California-based oil and natural gas company that has elected to try to drill for oil off the shores of Hermosa Beach, filed their project application for the enterprise with the city today.

The filing of the project application allows the city to move forward as the lead agency for the environmental review of the proposed project. 

The city will review the project application and request any additional information needed to begin the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Hermosa voters, in a future election whose date has yet to be determined, will be allowed to cast votes as to whether or not E&B gets to move forward to construct and operate an onshore oil and natural gas resource recovery facility from a city maintenance yard at 6th Street and Valley Drive.

Here are ways Hermosans can learn about the project:

Freedom is based on a sure identity, that I know who I am, but more importantly WHOSE I am. WhenRead More the LORD sent Moses to deliver His people, that was the beginning of their liberty. They were a particular people to the LORD, whose name is better understand as "He who was, is, and always will be." Not a god made of stone or wood, but the One who made, makes, and evermore makes and gives to us: the LORD took Israel by the hand and led them from bondage to slavery. Not who you are, but whose you are, makes all the difference between bondage and liberty: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8: 15) Have you been adopted yet? "
