6/22/2012 | The following plan describe surface reclamation actions for vegetation and soil rehabilitation, scarification and reseeding of the pads "apron" (the area surrounding the pad site, including the cut and fill, topsoil and excess materials stockpile sites, etc.). The BLM will be contacted prior to commencement of any reclamation operations.
The direction and specific work orders spelled out in this plan will apply to the existing well pad on the cited well. The overall goals and objectives of this plan for the Weaver Ridge 23-7H well pad site and any additional infrastructure associated with this well are to a)Minimize the surface impacts to other resources and authorized uses in the vicinity of the well pad site, b)Restore the landform and natural process to re-establish and sustain a pre-disturbance productivity of the site, consistent with the 1997 White River Resource Management Plan (WRRMP), c) Apply all Conditions of Approval (COA)s which are outlined in the Record of Decision/EA associated with this well and also consider additional applicable BLM's Conditions of Approval (WRRMP, Appendix 2) as a baseline to minimize surface impacts and enhance subsequent reclamation actions, and d)Apply appropriate new techniques and/or methodologies that would minimize surface disturbance and enhance reclamation success.
This plan outlines new and additional interim and final reclamation actions for the Weaver Ridge 23-7H well pad that would need to occur to realize the objectives stated above. For more details please refer to the proposed BMP's on the attachment Tab. |
