2/4/2015 | Visual Impacts: Equipment, regardless of construction date, which are observable from any public highway shall 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.
Maintain appearance with garbage clean-up; a trash bin will be located on site to accumulate waste by the personnel drilling the wells. Site will have unused equipment, trash and junk removed immediately. Operator shall keep the Surface Use Area as well as any roads or other areas used by Operator safe and in good order, including control of noxious weeds litter and debris. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )
400713204
2/4/2015 | Use water bars, and other measures to prevent erosion and non-source pollution. Implement and maintain BMPs to control stormwater runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation. Co-locate gas and water gathering lines whenever feasible, and mitigate any erosion problems that arise due to the construction of any pipeline(s). Operator will make use of additional culverts along the access road. |

2/4/2015 | Operator has forecasted sound model to design appropriately sized walls that will be installed around compressors to dampen noise. The sound model is developed with the production facilities’ noise signature. |
| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
400713204
2/4/2015 | Green Completions - Emission Control System: Test separators and associated flow lines and sand traps shall be installed to accommodate green completions techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules. In the anticipated absence of a viable gas sales line, the flowback gas shall be thermally oxidized in an emissions control device (ECD), which will be installed and kept in operable condition for at least the first 90-days of production pursuant to CDPHE rules. This ECD shall have an adequate capacity for 1.5 times the largest flowback within a 10 mile radius, will be flanged to route gas to other or permanent oxidizing equipment and shall be provided with the equipment needed to maintain combustions where non-combustible gases are present. |
| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A )
400713204
2/4/2015 | Equipment shall be operated in such a manner that odors and dust do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare.
Surface facilities are being designed with vapor recovery equipment.
Oil and gas operations shall 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. |
| Interim Reclamation | Form: (02A )
400713204
2/4/2015 | Operator shall be responsible for segregating the topsoil, backfilling, repacking, reseeding, and recontouring the surface of any disturbed area so as not to interfere with Owner’s operations and shall reclaim such area to be returned to pre-existing conditions as best as possible with control of all noxious weeds. |
| Final Reclamation | Form: (02A )
400713204
2/4/2015 | Within 90 days subsequent to the time of plugging and abandonment of the entire site, superfluous debris and equipment shall be removed from the site. The Operator shall restore the surface of the Land affected by such terminated operations as near as possible to the previous state that existed prior to operations. |
