03/08/2021 | Due to proximity of West Canyon and the related mapped Aquatic Sportfish Management Water, sufficient storm water containment and erosion control measures will be reviewed and maintained implemented to ensure that any fine sediment or other impacted runoff is not entering the surface waters adjacent to the location. |

03/09/2021 | 1) Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2) The approved Form 6, Notice of Intent will be at the location during all phases of plugging operations.
3) Operator shall implement measures to control venting and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard.
4) Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. Pursuant to Rule 911.a. Closure of Oil and Gas Facilities, Operator will submit Site Investigation and Remediation Workplans via Form 27 for COGCC prior approval before cutting and capping the plugged well, conducting flowline abandonment, and removing production equipment. Pursuant to Rule 1105.f. Abandonment Verification, within 90 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for a flowline or crude oil transfer line, an operator must submit a Field Operations Notice, Form 42-Abandonment of Flowlines for on-location flowlines, and a Flowline Report, Form 44, for off-location flowlines or crude oil transfer lines.
5) Check bradenhead annulus pressure prior to MIRU. Perform a bradenhead test if bradenhead pressure is greater than 25 psi, submit results electronically on a Form 17, and contact COGCC area engineer.
If a well has a bradenhead pressure greater than 25 PSI measured at the time of the test then a sample of both the production and bradenhead gas (if sufficient volume to analyze) shall be collected and submitted for laboratory analysis of the gas composition and stable isotopes. The compositional analysis should include hydrogen, argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane (C1), ethane (C2), ethene, propane (nC3), isobutane (iC4), butane (nC4), isopentane (iC5), pentane (nC5), hexanes +, specific gravity and British Thermal Units (BTU).The stable isotope analysis should include delta DC1, delta 13C1, delta 13C2, delta 13C3, delta 13iC4, delta 13nC4, delta 13iC5 (if possible), delta 13nC5 (if possible), and delta 13C of CO2 (if possible). The analytical results shall be submitted to the COGCC via Form 43 (Analytical Sample Submittal Form).
Gas sample containers should be filled in accordance with container manufacturer or laboratory recommendations; purging multiple container volumes may not be feasible due to limited gas volumes.
If water is encountered in the bradenhead during testing then samples (if sufficient quantity to analyze) should be collected and submitted for the laboratory analysis of major anions (chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, and sulfate), cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) total dissolved solids (TDS), BTEX, DRO, GRO, and dissolved gasses (RSK 175). If there is a limited amount of water available then anions, cations and BTEX should be given first priority. Data from bradenhead water samples shall be submitted to the COGCC via Form 43.
Please refer to Appendix A of the COGCC Operator Instructions for Bradenhead Testing and Reporting for more information regarding testing and sampling protocol.
The operator shall provide notice to Environmental Supervisor Alex Fischer at alex.fischer@state.co.us or 303-894-2100 X 5138 and COGCC Engineer Craig Burger at craig.burger@state.co.us or 970-319-4194, a minimum of 72 hours prior to conducting field operations. Bradenhead testing and sample collection (if applicable). If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
6) The Operator will not cap or seal the well until 5 days after placing the last plug to allow monitoring for successful plugging and will cap or seal the well within 90 days after placing the last plug.

12/30/2025 | Final Reclamation activities are considered a construction activity. Operator will comply with CDPHE stormwater monitoring and site inspection requirements for construction (if applicable), in addition to ECMC stormwater rules and requirements. Stormwater management pursuant to 1002.f is required until all facilities are abandoned and Location receives a passing final reclamation inspection pursuant to Rule 1004.
Stormwater and erosion control BMPs shall be implemented and maintained pursuant to Rule 1002.f.; including perimeter control measures to manage runon/runoff, and BMPs to stabilize the seeded soils upon completion of seeding/reclamation activities. |

12/30/2025 | This Location is out of compliance with ECMC 1004 Reclamation requirements.
Pursuant to Rule 1004.a, reclamation work shall be completed within 12 months on non-crop land after plugging a well or final closure of associated production facilities; but every reasonable effort shall be made to complete reclamation before the next local growing season. Pursuant to Form 6(s), well was P&Ad 5/14/2021; Facilities on Location received final closure via F27 #403609198 on 2/27/2024.
Final Reclamation work was required to be completed in 2024.
Approval of this sundry does not grant an extension of 1004 timing requirements, and the Location will remain out of compliance until reclamation work is completed.
