| Pre-Construction | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • A stabilized staging area will be prepared.
• Vehicle tracking pads, geotextiles, or mud mats will be installed where applicable to provide designated access into the ROW.
• Perimeter control BMPs will be installed.
• Access to areas that are not to be disturbed will be limited to protect the existing vegetation.
• Dust mitigation practices will be utilized.
|
| General Housekeeping | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • Caerus will routinely inspect the surface pipeline to ensure integrity and conduct daily inspections of surface poly pipeline routes for leaks during active transfer of fluids. Inspections shall be conducted by viewing the length of the pipeline.
•Caerus will comply with Rule 609 Statewide Groundwater Baseline Sampling and Monitoring
|
| Wildlife | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • All garbage and any food items will be placed in bear proof trash containers. Personnel will not feed bears at any time. Bears will not be approached if encountered in the project area.
• Seed mix used for interim and final reclamation is prescribed by the landowner.
• Other considerations as described in the Wildlife Mitigation Plan with Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.
|
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • Run-on protection and run-off controls will be installed prior to the beginning of construction activities, as practicable, with consideration given to worker safety and site access. Additional structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) will likely need to be installed during and following construction.
• No stormwater run-off will be discharged to the Colorado River.
|
| Construction | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • Stockpiles for topsoil, excess cut material, and drill cuttings will be located in work areas within perimeter BMPs.
• Stormwater BMPs will be installed per details in the Stormwater BMP manual.
• Disturbed area of site will be left in a surface roughened condition when feasible.
• BMPs will be protected, inspected and repaired as necessary.
• Dust mitigation practices will be utilized.
• The access road will be constructed and maintained as to not allow any sediment to migrate from the access road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to surface water.
• 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.
|
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • Topsoil will be stockpiled as appropriate to maintain microbial viability.
• Run-off from the facility will be controlled per Stormwater Management Plan.
• Pooled water will be treated for mosquitoes to minimize the spread of the West Nile virus.
• Caerus will ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any potential volume of fluids that may be released from the surface pipeline at all sensitive area crossings, including, but not limited to stream, intermittent stream, ditch, and drainage crossings.
|
| Interim Reclamation | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • Top soil, where present, will be segregated from deeper soils and replaced as top soil on the final grade, a process known as live topsoil handling.
• In all cases, temporary disturbance will be kept to an absolute minimum.
• Equipment and materials handling will be done on established sites to reduce area and extent of soil compaction.
• Disturbances will be reseeded as soon as practical with the recommended mix in the re-vegetation section.
• Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with non-invasive sterile hybrid grasses, if stored longer than one growing season.
• Prior to delivery to the site, equipment will be cleaned of soils remaining from previous construction sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds.
• If working in sites with weed-seed contaminated soil, equipment will be cleaned of potentially seed-bearing soils and vegetative debris prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain.
|
| Final Reclamation | Form: (02A ) 400572812 4/16/2014 | • BMPs installed during previous phases will be maintained and repaired as necessary.
• Surface will be stabilized with gravel when feasible
• BMPs will be inspected.
• Seeding and mulching or the installation of erosion control blankets will take place where applicable.
• All non-biodegradable temporary BMPs will be removed when applicable.
• Dust mitigation practices will be utilized.
