| Agency | Form: (02A)
400036954
03/17/2010 | Location is in a sensitive area because of close surface water; therefore, operator must ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at well site during drilling and completion operations. |

400036954
03/17/2010 | Location may be in a sensitive area due to shallow groundwater; therefore the drilling pit must be lined or a closed loop system must be used. |

06/09/2013 | SITE SPECIFIC COAs:
Notify the COGCC 48 hours prior to start of pad construction, rig mobilization, spud, and start of hydraulic stimulation operations using Form 42 (the appropriate COGCC individuals will automatically be email notified, including the LGD for hydraulic stimulation operations).
Reserve pit, or any other pit used to contain/hold fluids, if constructed, must be lined or a closed loop system (as indicated by operator on the Form 2A Permit application) must be implemented during drilling.
The access road will be constructed to prevent sediment migration from the access road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to other nearby surface waters.
Operator must implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids, including any fluids conveyed via temporary surface pipelines or buried permanent pipelines.
Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at well site during drilling and completion 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.
The moisture content of any cuttings in a cuttings pit, trench, or pile shall be as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. At the time of closure, if the drill cuttings are to be left onsite, they must also meet the applicable standards of table 910-1.
If the well is to be hydraulically stimulated, then flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline, storage vessel, or lined pit (only if an amended Form 2A has been submitted/approved and a Form 15 Earthen Pit Permitted has been submitted/approved) 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 with additional downgradient perimeter berming. The area where flowback fluids will be stored/reused must be constructed to be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material.
Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (preferably corrugated steel with poly liner) to contain any spilled or released material around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks. |

06/09/2013 | BASELINE GROUNDWATER/SURFACE WATER TESTING COA:
Operator shall comply with Rule 609. STATEWIDE GROUNDWATER BASELINE SAMPLING AND MONITORING. |
| OGLA | Form: (02A)
401839039
02/21/2019 | Material Handling and Spill Prevention: The following conditions of approval (COAs) will apply:
•All onsite flowlines and pipelines and offsite pipelines will be constructed, maintained, registered, and integrity tested in accordance with the new COGCC 1100 Series Rules (1101, 1102, 1103, and 1104) updated on May 1, 2018.
•Any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations will be pressure tested and will require to be registered if in use for longer than 12 months. |

02/21/2019 | Drilling/Completions: The following condition of approval (COA) will apply:
•A closed loop system must be implemented during drilling (as indicated on this Form 2 and Form 2A). All cuttings generated during drilling with oil based mud (OBM) must be segregated from water/bentonite based mud-(WBM-) generated drill cuttings and placed separately on the well pad. All OBM-generated drill cuttings must be kept in tanks/containers, or placed on a lined/bermed portion of the well pad; prior to disposition. The moisture content of any OBM-generated drill cuttings in a tank, cuttings containment area, or pile shall be as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. The operator has indicated that ‘Cuttings Disposal’ will be “Offsite” and that the ‘Cuttings Disposal Method’ will be “Commercial Disposal” (as shown in the ‘Drilling Waste Management Program’ sections of the Form 2A and this Form 2). The trucks used for offsite disposal must have a liner and the operator must implement measures (covers, misting, etc.) to reduce dust and PM emissions during transport of solids materials to and from the well pad location. Any liners associated with oil-based drilling mud and OBM-generated drill cuttings must be disposed of offsite per CDPHE rules and regulations. |
