06/29/2018 | Material Handling and Spill Prevention: The following COAs will apply to this Form 2A Permit if any temporary surface (COAs 45, 49, 54, and 55) or buried permanent (COA 45) flowlines and/or offsite pipelines (poly or steel) are used during operations at this oil and gas location:
COA 45 - Operator shall pressure test pipelines (temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations) in accordance with Rule 1101.e.(1) prior to putting into initial service any temporary surface or permanent buried pipelines and following any reconfiguration of the pipeline network.
COA 49 - Operator must routinely inspect the entire length of the surface pipeline to ensure integrity. Operator shall conduct daily inspections of surface poly pipeline routes for leaks during active transfer of fluids and implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids along all portions of the surface pipeline route where temporary pumps and other necessary equipment are located. Inspections shall be conducted by viewing the length of the pipeline; operator will endeavor to minimize surface disturbance during pipeline monitoring. In addition, pump stations along the surface poly or steel pipeline route will be continuously monitored when operating in order to swiftly respond to such a failure.
COA 54 - Operator will implement BMPs necessary to mitigate a potential for a release of fluids to impact streams, intermittent streams, ditches, and drainage crossings. For these crossings: if poly pipe is used on the surface, operator will ensure appropriate containment by either installing over-sized pipe “sleeves” which extend the length of the crossing and beyond to a distance deemed adequate to capture (catchment basins) and/or divert any possible release of fluids and prevent fluids from reaching the stream or drainage; installing over-sized pipe “sleeves” which extend the length of the crossing and installing shut off valves on either side of crossing instead of catchment basins; or develop an alternative means for containment. For all other pipeline materials, operator will implement BMPs necessary to mitigate a potential for E&P fluids not to reach groundwater or flowing surface water.
COA 55 - Operator will utilize, to the extent practical, all existing access and other public roads, and/or existing pipeline right-of-ways, when placing/routing the temporary surface pipelines. This will reduce surface disturbance and fragmentation of wildlife habitat in the area. |

06/29/2018 | Emissions Mitigation: The following COA will apply:
COA 26 - Potential odors associated with the water storage and water transfer operations (including any flowback operations) must be controlled/mitigated. |

401538786
06/29/2018 | Completion Operations: The following COA will apply:
COA 25 - No open top tanks can be used for water storage, water transfer, or initial flowback fluids containment. In accordance with COGCC rules, the tanks will be set on compacted earth to decrease the permeability of the soil.
Spill / Release Response: The following COAs will apply:
COA 73a - An emergency spill response program that includes employee training, safety and maintenance provisions and current contact information for COGCC personnel will be implemented during water storage and water transfer operations. In the event of a spill or release, the operator shall immediately implement the emergency response procedures in the above described emergency response program. All personnel working at the location during all water storage and water transfer operations will receive training on spill response and reporting.
COA 73b - A spill response trailer will be available near the location during water storage and water transfer operations (the trailer needs to be able to reach the site within 2 hours after an incident). |

06/29/2018 | Construction: The following COAs will apply:
COA 23 - Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained (in permanent and/or temporary storage tanks) at the ‘temporary remote frac pad facility’ during water storage and water transfer operations; including, but not limited to, re-construction of a berm or diversion dike, diversion/collection trenches within and/or outside of berms/dikes, site re-grading, or other comparable measures (i.e., best management practices [BMPs] associated with fluid containment/control as well as stormwater management for the control of run-on and run-off) sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. Any berm constructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals, and maintained in good condition.
COA 44 - The access road will be maintained as to not allow sediment to migrate from the access road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to surface water.
COA 76 - Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources. Operator shall employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by other operations, including, but not limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of re-construction activity during high wind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Additional management practices such as road surfacing, wind breaks and barriers may be used.
COA 28 - Additional containment shall be required where temporary or permanent pumps and other necessary equipment are located on the frac pad site.
COA 29 - Operator will use adequately sized containment devices for all chemicals and/or hazardous materials stored or used on location (if applicable). |

06/29/2018 | Planning: The following COAs will apply:
COA 91 - In addition to the notifications required by COGCC listed in the Northwest Notification Policy (Notice of Intent to Construct a New Location and Notice of Intent to Commence Hydraulic Fracturing Operations) and Rule 316C. COGCC Form 42. FIELD OPERATIONS NOTICE (a. Notice of Intent to Conduct Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment and c. Notice of Construction or Major Change); operator shall notify the COGCC 48 hours prior to onsite and offsite pipeline testing (temporary surface lines used for water transfer and/or flowback operations) using the Form 42 (as described in Rule 316C.m. Notice of Completion of Form 2/2A Permit Conditions). The appropriate COGCC individuals will automatically be email notified.
COA 94 - The temporary remote frac pad facility shall be in operation for no longer than three (3) years. The three year time clock will start from the date of first use based on submittal of the Form 42 providing that date.
COA 95 - The approved Form 2A #401538786 for this location will be posted onsite during re-construction, temporary surface pipeline placement and operations, remote frac pad water storage and water transfer operations, and demobilization. |
