07/30/2018 | Material Handling and Spill Prevention: The following COAs will apply to this Form 4 Sundry Notice if any temporary surface (COAs 45, 49, 54, and 55) or buried permanent offsite pipelines (poly or steel) are used during completion operations at this oil and gas location:
COA 45 - Operator shall pressure test pipelines (pipelines from offsite storage tanks and any 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, and tested annually, unless agreed to by both parties that the flowlines can be managed under an approved COGCC variance.
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. |

07/30/2018 | Emissions Mitigation: The following COA will apply:
COA 26 - Potential odors associated with the remote frac pad water storage and water transfer operations during the completions process at nearby well pads must be controlled/mitigated. |

401669845
07/30/2018 | 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 BLM, COGCC, and CPW 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 or spill response equipment and supplies will be available near the location 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during construction, drilling, and completion operations (the trailer should be able to reach the site within 45 to 60 minutes after an incident).
COA 73c - Appropriate heavy equipment (e.g., a backhoe) will be staged at or near the location during all water transfer operations so that any emergency diversions or pits to contain spills can be built immediately upon discovery. |

07/30/2018 | Completions: The following COAs will apply:
COA 25 - No open top tanks can be used for water storage, water transfer, or initial flowback fluids containment. The entire pad will be surrounded by a berm with a drainage ditch constructed interior to that berm in order to contain any potential release on the temporary frac pad. Any fluid in the interior drainage ditch would be contained in the ditch until clean up.
COA 26 - If the ‘temporary remote frac pad facility’ needs to be used during the next drilling / completion season at additional oil and gas locations, or if there is more than 90 days between use, all tanks and equipment containing fluids must be drained, cleaned, and tagged as temporarily decommissioned (i.e., each tank, vessel, and piece of equipment must have a sign indicating it is empty, clean, and out of use [indicating the date]). |

07/30/2018 | Construction: The following COAs will apply:
COA 23 - Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the well site during completion 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.
COA 27 - Operator shall stabilize exposed soils and slopes as an interim measure during temporary frac pad operations at this site.
COA 28 - Additional containment shall be required where temporary or permanent pumps and other necessary equipment or chemicals 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. |

07/30/2018 | 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 flowline/pipeline testing (any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation 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 92 - Prior to first use, operator shall submit a Site Drawing showing the location of the temporary frac tanks and any transfer pumps on this oil and gas location.
COA 93 - Operator shall provide a Reference Area Map and Reference Area Pictures consisting of four (4) color photographs of the reference area, taken during the growing season of vegetation and facing each cardinal direction, within twelve (12) months after approval of the Form 4 Sundry Notice. Each photograph shall be identified by date taken, well or Oil and Gas Location name, and direction of view.
COA 94 - The 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 4 #401669845 for this location will be posted onsite during construction, temporary surface pipeline placement and operations, remote frac pad water storage and water transfer operations, and demobilization. |
