2/8/2018 | Dust; PDC will employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by operations, these include but are not limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of construction activity during high-wind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. When necessary, PDC coordinates dust mitigation with the county on gravel roads, places road base where allowed by surface owner around tanks and wellheads to minimize dust, and will water the roads and locations when dry. In addition, automation is used on all new wells to minimize truck traffic. During winter operations normal dust abatement is not provided unless requested by surrounding land owners. Fugitive dust control will be incorporated as needed during all other months of drilling and completion operations. |

Visual Impact: Production facilities, regardless of construction date, which are observable from any public highway will be painted with uniform, non-contrasting, non-reflective color tones (similar to the Munsell Soil Color Coding System), and with colors matched to but slightly darker than the surrounding landscape. |

2/8/2018 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: PRODUCTION FACILITIES: It is not anticipated that noise mitigation will be necessary at the proposed tank battery location. After construction is completed, equipment installed and production begins, noise levels will be assessed to determine if mitigation measures will be required to be compliant with Rule 802. |

2/8/2018 | 805.b(1)-(c) Odors and Dust: Oil and gas facilities and equipment (PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY) will operate in a manner that odors and dust do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. Odors: Oil and gas operations will be in compliance with the Department of Public Health and Environment, Air Quality Control Commission, Regulation No. 2 Odor Emission, 5 C.C.R. 1001-4, Regulation No. 3 (5 C.C.R. 1001-5), and Regulation No. 7 Section XVII.B.1 (a-c) and Section XII. Temporary and permanent water tanks do not require additional BMPs as PDC has historically not had any odor issues. |
