08/09/2024 | Operator committed to the following Best Management Practices in the attached email of the CPW consultation:
Operations are currently scheduled outside the bald eagle roost season (Nov 15 - Mar 15). If operations cannot be completed outside the roost season, at least two non-consecutive roost surveys (one AM and one PM), separated by approx. one week, will be conducted: if no roosting is observed, work will proceed as normal; if roosting is observed within 1/2 mile, operations will be limited to two hours post-sunrise to two hours pre-sunset. |

08/09/2024 | Due to proximity to a wetland, surface water and expected shallow groundwater, operator will use secondary containment for all tanks and other liquid containers. Operator will implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures as needed to prevent sediment and stormwater runoff from entering the wetland and surface water. |

08/09/2024 | Operator will implement measures to capture, combust, or control emissions to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public health, welfare and the environment. Due to the proximity of residential building units (RBUs) all blowdown gasses will be controlled.
Due to proximity of plugging and abandonment (P&A) operations to BUs, operator will comply with Table 423 Maximum Permissible Noise Levels for residential land use. Prior to initiating work, operator will install temporary sound walls, straw bales, or other BMPs to dampen noise if necessary for compliance.
Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs), prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of the RBUs nearby and adjacent to the parcel with the well. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations. |

08/09/2024 | Prior to starting plugging operations a Bradenhead test shall be performed if there has not been a reported Bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
1) If, before opening the Bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required.
2) If pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or if any liquids were present during the test, sampling is required.
The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions. If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the ECMC within three (3) months of collecting the samples. |

08/09/2024 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42, and provide 48 hours Notice of Plugging Operations, prior to mobilizing for plugging operations via electronic Form 42. These are 2 separate notifications, required by Rules 408.e and 408.I.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (4450'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 4450’ assure that all fluid migration has been eliminated by monitoring the well for a minimum of 8 hours before proceeding to the next plug. If at any time after placing this plug there is evidence of pressure or of fluid migration, contact ECMC engineering before continuing operations.
4) Prior to placing the 1767’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 1607’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) After surface plug and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. If there is indication of flow contact ECMC Engineering. Provide a statement on the 6SRA which method was used and what was observed. Retain records of final isolation test for 5 years.
7) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |

08/09/2024 | FLOWLINE AND SITE CLOSURE
1) Consistent with Rule 911.a, a Form 27 must be approved prior to cut and cap, conducting flowline abandonment, or removing production equipment. Allow 30 days for Director review of the Form 27; include the Form 27 document number on the Form 44 for offsite flowline abandonment (if applicable) and on the Form 6 Subsequent.
2) Properly abandon flowlines per Rule 1105. If flowlines will be abandoned in place, include with the Form 27: pressure test results conducted in the prior 12 months as well as identification of any document numbers for a ECMC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line. |
