10/18/2013 | 604c.(2).V. Development From Existing Well Pads: KMG is developing multiple reservoirs as close to existing wells as space will allow; the Grenemyer Wagner 21-34, Wagner 1-B, Wagner 1, and Grenemyer Wagner C Unit 1 wells. Drilling from an existing well pad was not feasible for the development of these wells; however, this well pad will be considered for future well locations. |

Tank Specifications: Condensate storage tanks will be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30 (2008 version). KMG will maintain written records to verify proper design, construction and maintenance. All records will be available for inspection by the Director. Two 500 barrel steel tanks will be temporarily placed on-site for use of the pre-spud rig. One tank will store water and the other will store water based mud. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02 )

10/18/2013 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: Sound mitigation barriers (hay bales) will be placed along the northern and eastern sides of the pad location to damper noise during drilling and completions to the nearby residence and to Weld County Road 4.
Sound surveys have been conducted on each rig type, which are utilized to anticipate any additional noise mitigation if necessary.

10/18/2013 | Prior to drilling operations, Operator may perform an anti-collision review of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This anti-collision review may include MWD or gyro surveys and surface locations of the offset wells with included error of uncertainty per survey instrument, and compared against the proposed wellpath with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottomhole location. The proposed well may only be drilled if the anti-collision review results indicate that the risk of collision is sufficiently low as defined by the anti-collision plan, with separation factors greater than 1.5, or if the risk of collision has been mitigated through other means including shutting in wells, plugging wells, increased drilling fluid in the event of lost returns or as is appropriate for the specific situation. In the event of an increased risk of collision, that risk will be mitigated to prevent harm to people, the environment or property. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, an as-constructed directional survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5.
At the time of permitting, the operator has identified the following well(s) as being within close proximity of the proposed well: Anti-collision: XCEL 22C-22HZ (Permit submitted 9/2013)
