05/19/2016 | Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to a closed system (e.g. capable of containing under pressure any vapors, fumes, or gases) of tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline, storage vessel, or other open top containment structures 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 of the fluid flowback containment equipment will be required if the operator constructs a sufficiently sized perimeter berm around the location. |

05/19/2016 | Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the well site during drilling and completion operations (as shown on the Construction Layout Drawings, Location Drawing, Proposed BMPs, and Facility Layout Drawing attachments). These may include, but are not limited to, construction of a berm or diversion dike, diversion/collection trenches within and/or outside of berms/dikes, site grading, or other comparable measures sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. The proposed BMPs may be changed based on actual site conditions. Any berm constructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals as required by CDPHE (at least every 14 days and after precipitation events), and maintained in good condition. The design/build of any perimeter berm shall be sized, constructed, and compacted sufficiently to contain fluids during drilling operations, as well as all fluids contained in temporary frac tanks during completion operations.
The location is in an area of moderate run-on potential; therefore standard stormwater BMPs must be implemented prior to, during, and after access road and location construction, as well as during drilling, completion, and production operations at this location to insure compliance with CDPHE and COGCC requirements.
The access road will be constructed and maintained as to not allow sediment to migrate from the access road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to surface water.
Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures, including encouraging established speed limits on private roads, to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources. |

05/19/2016 | In addition to the notifications required by COGCC listed in the Northwest Notification Policy (Notice of Intent to Construct a New Location, Notice of Intent to Spud Surface Casing, 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 pipeline testing (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks; and/or 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. |

08/08/2017 | The following conditions of approval (COAs) will apply to this location if any temporary surface (COAs 1, 2, 3, and 4) or buried permanent (COA 1) flowlines and/or offsite pipelines (poly or steel) are used during operations at the produce water origination pipeline or facility and this well pad location:
1 - Operator shall pressure test pipelines (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks; pipelines from onsite separators to 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.
2 - 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.
3 - 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.
4 - 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. |
