3/13/2018 | Operator shall pressure test pipelines (flowlines from wellheads to separators to 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 surface/buried pipelines and following any reconfiguration of the pipeline network. All permanent flowlines from wellheads to separators and from the separators to the tank will also be pressure tested annually.
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 surface pipelines, if applicable. This will reduce surface disturbance and fragmentation of wildlife habitat in the area. |

3/13/2018 | The moisture content of drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts.
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. 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. |

3/13/2018 | Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the well site during drilling and 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 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.
The access road will be 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 to access roads to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources. Operator shall employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by other operations, including, but not limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of re-construction activity during high wind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Additional management practices such as road surfacing, wind breaks and barriers may be used.
Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (corrugated steel with poly liner or equivalent) to contain any spilled or released material around permanent condensate storage tanks. |

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. |
