Odors and Dust: Oil and gas facilities and equipment 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. Dust; PDC will employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by operations include but 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. County road used for access has low traffic volume.

9/20/2014 | 604c.(2).G. Berm Construction: Containment berms shall be constructed of steel rings with a geosynthetic liner, designed and installed to prevent leakage and resist degradation from erosion or routine operation. All berms will be visually checked periodically to ensure proper working condition. Secondary containment devices shall be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. Due to a downgradient surface water body within 500’, tertiary containment (such as an earthen berm or the like), will be installed around Production Facilities. Operator must implement site-specific best management practices in accordance with good engineering practices, including, but not limited to, construction of a berm or diversion dike, site grading, or other comparable measures, sufficient to protect the down gradient water sources located as follows from the nearest well head : ditch 246 feet north-west.

| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A )
400562498
9/20/2014 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: WELL PAD: PDC has conducted baseline noise surveys for all drilling rigs that are being contracted and has also conducted a baseline noise survey for hydraulic fracture stimulation operations on a representative horizontal well. A review was conducted to identify potential receptors within 1000 feet of the proposed Klein 19MN-HZ Pad site. There are two building units of concern. The three building units are located as follows: NW of the proposed pad at a distance of approximately 200 feet, and NW of the proposed pad at a distance of approximantely 608 feet. Based on the receptors locations, projected noise levels are anticipated to exceed the Light Industrial Zone standard of 65 decibels (db) at the receptor location. Therefore, noise mitigation will be necessary for the Klein 19MN-HZ pad. A sound wall will be installed to the north of the proposed location prior to drilling and completion activities, methods of noise mitigation shall include but not be limited to hay bales, noise walls, or customized semi-trailers. 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.
