* Use only certified weed-free native seed in seed mixes, except for non-native plants that benefit wildlife
* WPX Energy will use certified, weed free grass hay, straw, hay or other mulch materials used for the reseeding and
reclamation of disturbed areas.
* Install exclusionary devices to prevent bird and other wildlife access to equipment stacks, vents and openings.
* Reduce visits to well-sites through remote monitoring (i.e. SCADA) and the use of multi-function contractors.
* Avoid dust suppression activities within 300 feet of the ordinary high water mark of any reservoir, lake, wetland, or natural
perennial or seasonally flowing stream or river where possible.

3/29/2013 | PLANNING BMP's
* Share/consolidate corridors for pipeline ROWs to the maximum extent possible.
* Maximize the utility of surface facilities by developing multiple wells from a single pad (directional drilling), and by co-locating
multipurpose facilities (for example, well pads and compressors) to avoid unnecessary habitat fragmentation and disturbance
of additional geographic areas.
* Avoid new surface disturbance and placing new facilities in key wildlife habitats in consultation with CDOW.
* Minimize the number, length, and footprint of oil and gas development roads
* Combine utility infrastructure (gas, electric, and water) planning with roadway planning to avoid separate utility corridors
* Where possible, consolidate pipeline and existing roadways, or roadways that are planned for development
* Maximize the use of directional drilling to minimize habitat loss/fragmentation
* Maximize use of remote completion/frac operations to minimize traffic
* Maximize use of remote telemetry for well monitoring to minimize traffic
* Phase and concentrate development activities, so that large areas of undisturbed habitat for wildlife remain.
* Maintain undeveloped areas within development boundaries sufficient to allow wildlife to persist within development
boundaries during all phases of construction, drilling, and production.
* Minimize the duration of development and avoid repeated or chronic disturbance of developed areas. Complete all
anticipated drilling within a phased, concentrated, development area during a single, uninterrupted time period.

3/29/2013 | Although this location is located within 500 ft. of perennial, ephemeral, or intermittent surface water according to USGS mapped surface waters, the attached Sensitive Area Determination concludes that the location is not within a sensitive area due to the low potential for impacts to surface water in the case of a facility release. However, in order to satisfy COGCC guidance requiring that all locations within 500 ft. of mapped surface water incorporate BMPs to protect that surface water, Williams will employ the following BMPs at this location:
• Williams will ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at well site during drilling and completion operations.
• Williams will implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids.
• Either a lined drilling pit or closed loop system will be implemented.
