The three scenarios demonstrate the impact weighing different criteria have on well rankings.This data maps 5,287 wells using their coordinates recorded in WellSTAR. Though there are a total of 5,331 wells identified on the screening and prioritization inventory, 44 of these do not have known surface locations and cannot be mapped. Data is static, last updated September 2022. The three scenarios depicted in the application are as follows:<ul><li>Scenario 1: Impact on Disadvantaged Communities</li></ul>Scenario 1 aims to prioritize wells that are located within disadvantaged communities and may present risks to those communities if left unplugged. In this scenario, information from CalEnviroScreen and SB535 Disadvantaged Communities data are the only criteria that are weighted up to five points, with the exception of the presence of freshwater.<ul><li>Scenario 2: Proximity to Communities and Sensitive Environments</li></ul>Scenario 2 places greater emphasis on criteria that indicate the well is located near people or critical or sensitive environments that may be at risk due to orphan wells remaining unaddressed, and also emphasizes if that well is located in a disadvantaged community. It uses the same scoring as Scenario 1 but allows up to five points to each the following well location factors: whether the well is critical, in an urban area, or is environmentally sensitive.<ul><li>Scenario 3: Well Condition</li></ul>When thinking about the risk an orphan well poses to California communities, that is largely driven by two factors: what is nearby and susceptible to that risk, and the physical state of the orphan well itself. Scenarios 1 and 2 emphasize the first factor, while Scenario 3 aims to emphasize criteria that may indicate the well is in a poor state and has a high likelihood of contaminating groundwater or leaking.More detail about the points associated with each criterion is in a Screening Prioritization Methodology document that will be available on <a href='https://www.conservation.ca.gov/calgem/Pages/Orphan-Well-Screening-Methodology.aspx' style='color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>CalGEM's website</a>.Additional resources: Contact <a href='mailto:CalGEMOrphanWells@conservation.ca.gov' style='font-family:inherit; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none;' rel='nofollow ugc'>CalGEMOrphanWells@conservation.ca.gov</a> for further questions.
