| OGLA | Form: (02A) 401655680 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 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. |
| OGLA | Form: (02A) 401655680 06/29/2018 | Drilling/Completions: The following COAs will apply:
COA 11 - The moisture content of water/bentonite based mud (WBM) generated drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts.
COA 25 - Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to enclosed tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline storage vessel, or other open top containment located on the well pad; or into tanker trucks for offsite disposal. No open top tanks can be used for initial flowback fluids containment. The flowback and stimulation fluid tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment must be placed on the well pad in an area constructed to be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. No additional downgradient berming is required if operator constructs a sufficiently sized perimeter berm. |
| OGLA | Form: (02A) 401655680 06/29/2018 | Construction: The following COAs will apply:
COA 48 - Since only one (1) blowdown tank is planned to be constructed on location, operator shall submit a scaled as-built drawing (plan view with distances) of this oil and gas location (showing wellheads, onsite flowlines, offsite pipelines, separators, combustors, etc.) and the nearby production and storage tank facility location to which the condensate and produced water will be sent to via underground pipelines (showing onsite flowlines, offsite pipelines, condensate and produced water storage tanks, and other production facilities - combustors, etc.) within 60 calendar days of construction of the production equipment on either or both locations. |
| Environmental | Form: (04) 401863660 02/15/2019 | The Operator shall adhere to the BLM COAs that were provided to them at the Federal DOE 1-M-18 pad (Location ID 335744). |
| Environmental | Form: (04) 401863660 02/15/2019 | Within 45-days of completion of the managment of cuttings generated from the DOE 1-M-18 Pad (Location 335744), the Operator shall provide a report detailing the API numbers, the volume of cuttings generated, the actual cuttings managment process that was performed including sampling actitivities, and anlaytical results. |
| Environmental | Form: (04) 401863660 02/15/2019 | The moisture content of any drill cuttings transported from the DOE 1-M-18 Pad (Location 335744) to the DOE1-M-18 Cuttings Management Area (Location ID 456106) and the Clough RWF 44-18 pad (Location 335146) for management and
final disposition shall be as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts, and to prevent spillage out of trucks during transport. |
| Environmental | Form: (04) 401863660 02/25/2019 | Only drill cuttings generated from Location ID 335744 shall be managed and disposed at the DOE1-M-18 Cuttings Management Area (Location ID 456106). No other E&P shall be brought to this location. |
| Environmental | Form: (04) 401863660 02/25/2019 | Prior to bringing cuttings to Location ID 456106, signage with the Facility ID number, location information, emergency contact information and a notation "Drill Cuttings from Location 335744 Only" shall be placed at the entrance to the Cuttings Management Area. |
