8/13/2013 | General housekeeping will consist of neat and orderly storage of materials and fluids. Wastes will be temporarily stored in sealed containers and regularly collected and disposed of at offsite, suitable facilities. If spills occur prompt cleanup is required to minimize any commingling of waste materials with storm water runoff. Routine maintenance will be limited to fueling and lubrication of equipment. Drip pans will be used during routine fueling and maintenance to contain spills or leaks. Any waste product from maintenance will be containerized and transported offsite for disposal or recycling. There will be no major equipment overhauls conducted onsite. Equipment will be transported offsite for major overhauls. Cleanup will consist of patrolling the roadways, access areas, and other work areas to pick up trash, scrap debris, other discarded materials, and any contaminated soil. These materials will be disposed of properly and promptly. |

Storm Water Management Plans (SWMP) are in place to address construction, drilling and operations associated with Oil and Gas development throughout the state of Colorado in accordance with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Storm water controls will be constructed around the perimeter of the site prior to construction. Typically, GWOC utilizes a ditch and berm system of storm water control at its sites. BMP’s used are determined just prior to construction by a third party storm water contractor and may vary according to the location. Storm water controls will remain in place until the pad is stabilized or reaches final reclamation. In order to protect nearby surface water and potential shallow groundwater a ditch and berm will be built around the perimeter of the pad. |

Great Western will primarily utilize Base Beams to stabilize the rig and removed after drilling. In the event Great Western is unable to use a rig with Base Beams, Guy Line Anchors will be utilized. In the event guy line anchors are utilized and left buried for future use they shall be identified by a brightly colored marker at least 4-foot in height and within 1-foot to the east of the anchor.

12/11/2017 | During the drilling and completions phase, Great Western plans to construct sound/visual walls that will be placed along the edges of the pad, where applicable. This will also assist to block out any lighting from nearby occupied structures. This pad will be constructed in such a manner that noise mitigation may be installed and removed without disturbing the site or landscaping.
Light sources will be directed downwards, and away from occupied structures. Once the drilling and completion rigs leave the site, there will be no permanently installed lighting on site. |
| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A )

12/11/2017 | Odors Mitigation:
o Where possible, drilling rig and completion equipment engine exhaust will be directed away from occupied buildings to assist in mitigating potential odors. Sealed tanks with pressure relief valves and emissions controls will be utilized for the production phase. Great Western will use an invert based drilling fluid with diesel or a similar fluid for the base oil. If odor complaints are received and it is determined that they are caused by the invert drilling fluid, then Benzaco Scientific’s Odor Armor odor neutralizing agent or similar product will be added to the mud system to eliminate the odor. This product and other similar products have been used by other operators in the DJ Basin and have been successful in eliminating odor attributed to invert drilling fluids.
