The settlement established limits on the numbers of wells, where they can be drilled and noise levels. The pact set landscaping rules, required periodic health assessments of nearby residents and increased the amount of air-quality monitoring.

In exchange for having the right to drill in a 7.5-acre area near the base of the Whittier hills, Matrix has agreed to a long list of conditions. For instance, the city will get royalties of 30 percent to 50 percent of the well’s revenue, before expenses, compared with a more typical 20 percent to 30 percent, McCaskey said.
