SITE SPECIFIC COAs: Prior to multi-well pit construction, a Form 27 (Remediation Workplan/Closure Report) must be submitted to the COGCC detailing the closure of the original drilling pits (#425199 and #425200) at this well pad location. This form should include the dates of closure, where the fluids were disposed of, and where any impacted soil was disposed of. In addition, analytical results from soil samples collected below the pit prior to the construction of the new multi-well pit, should also be included. Notify COGCC Oil and Gas Location Assessment (OGLA) Specialist for Western Colorado (Dave Kubeczko; email dave.kubeczko@state.co.us) and the COGCC Field Inspection Supervisor for Northwest Colorado (Shaun Kellerby; email shaun.kellerby@state.co.us) 48 hours prior to start of construction of the pit. Surface water samples from West Fork (one upstream and one downstream) shall be collected by the operator prior to pit use and every 12 months to evaluate potential impacts from pit operations. At a minimum, the surface water samples will be analyze for the following parameters: major cations/anions (chloride, fluoride, sulfate, sodium); total dissolved solids (TDS); and BTEX/DRO. After installation of the uppermost liner and prior to operating the pit, the synthetic liner(s) shall be tested by filling the pit with at least 4 feet of fresh water, measured from the base of the pit (not to exceed the 2-foot freeboard requirement). The operator shall monitor the pit for leaks for a period of 72 hours prior to draining the pit and commencing operations. Operator shall notify the COGCC Oil and Gas Location Assessment (OGLA) Specialist for Western Colorado (Dave Kubeczko; email dave.kubeczko@state.co.us) 48 hours prior to start of the hydrotest. Hydrotest monitoring results must be maintained by the operator for the life of the pit and provided to COGCC prior to using the pit. Operator must ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the water handling facility site during natural gas development activities and operations; including, but 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 (i.e., best management practices (BMPs) associated with stormwater management) sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. Any berm constructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals (at least every 14 days), and maintained in good condition. Operator must implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids, including any fluids conveyed via buried or temporary surface pipelines. No portion of any pit that will be used to hold liquids shall be constructed on fill material, unless the pit and fill slope are designed and certified by a professional engineer, subject to review and approval by the director prior to construction of the pit. The construction and lining of the pit shall be supervised by a professional engineer or their agent. The entire base of the pit must be in cut. The production pit must be double-lined. The pit will also require a leak detection system (Rule 904.e). Operator must submit a professional engineer (PE) approved/stamped as-built drawing (plan view and cross-sections) of the production pit within 14 calendar days of construction. The production pit must be fenced and netted. The operator must maintain the fencing and netting until the pit is closed in accordance with Rule 905. Closure of Pits, and Buried or Partially Buried Produced Water Vessels. Operator shall pressure test pipelines in accordance with Rule 1101.e.(1) prior to putting into initial service any temporary surface pipelines or configuration of the permanent pipeline network. Submit additional disposal facilities (wells, pits, landfills, etc.) for pit contents, if different than what was provided on the Form 15 Pit Permit, to COGCC via a Form 4 Sundry prior to disposal.

3/8/2012
• Use solar panels as an alternative energy source for on-location production equipment, where appropriate, economically and technically feasible. • Use multiple gathering lines placed in a single trench to minimize disturbance and construction, where appropriate, economically and technically feasible. • Install trench plugs (sloped to allow wildlife or livestock to exit the trench should they enter) at known wildlife or livestock trails to allow safe crossing on long spans of open trench, where appropriate, economically and technically feasible. • Maintain a minimum of five feet of soil cover between the pipeline and the lowest point of the drainage or water body channel.

• Prohibit Encana employees and contractors from carrying projectile weapons. Except during company organized events. • Prohibit pets on property. • Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures, including enforcing established speed limits on Encana private roads, to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources.

September 2017 - Caerus Piceance LLC (Caerus) agreed to the Amended and Restated Wildlife Mitigation Plan (WMP) for Encana’s proposed oil and gas operations on the North Parachute Ranch (NPR) property. Caerus received authorization from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to transfer the EnCana Wildlife Mitigation Plan Agreement (WMPA) to Caerus’ existing WMPA. Caerus is currently adhering to all aspects of both WMPAs through Caerus’ current best management practices.

Stormwater is addressed under a field-wide Stormwater Management Plan (CDPHE Certification #COR037689). Run-on protection and run-off controls will be installed prior to the beginning of construction activities, with consideration given to worker safety, wildlife, and site access.

Pad is built and will not need expansion. Any stockpile(s) for topsoil and excess cut material will be located in work areas surrounded by the BMPs. Stormwater BMPs will be installed per details in the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) and as shown on the Construction Layout Drawings and Proposed Stormwater BMPs Drawing. Disturbed area of site will be left in a surface roughened condition when feasible. BMPs will be protected, inspected and repaired as necessary. Dust mitigation practices will be utilized. Existing buried flow and water lines in place. Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious to adequately contain any spilled or released material around water storage tanks, while also ensuring the adequate prevention of significant adverse environmental impacts.
