8/22/2014 | Odors and Dust
Oil and gas facilities and equipment will be operated in such a manner that odors and dust do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare.
If drilling mud is to sit stagnant for any lengthy period of time, biocides will be added to prevent the build-up of nuisance odors.
The location will be watered, as needed, to prevent the formation of fugitive dust due to truck traffic and equipment operations. Additionally, exceptionally sandy locations will be plated with up to 4-inches of cohesive soils or Class V Roadbase.
During frac’ing operations, dust control socks will be placed on the mountain movers/sand masters and storage bins to control the spread of fugitive silica dust.
During hydraulic fracturing operations, a Sierra Frac Sand, LLC Total Dust Control System, or equivalent, will be implemented in order to control the release of fugitive dust from inspection hatches on top of the bulk storage movers, transfer belts, “T” or “V” belts leading to the blender hopper, and drop points throughout the activities of unloading, storing, transfer or conveying of sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. |

8/22/2014 | The following procedure describes BCEI standard construction practices for setting a partially buried pre-cast cement water vault and new tank battery construction.
1) The excavation will first be lined with 4” of clay or other low permeability soil.
2) A 30 mil liner will be installed on top of the low permeability soil. The 30 mil liner will be a contiguous liner which will underlay the entire tank battery.
3) The tank battery / water vault liner will be keyed into a galvanized steel containment ring installed surrounding the tank battery.
4) Sand bedding will be installed to protect the synthetic liner prior to placing equipment in the containment area.
