5/1/2015 | Leak Detection Plan: To ensure protection for the surface during fracturing treatment, the location will be specifically constructed to contain any releases or spills. Secondary containment from any chemical spills or leaks will surround any trucks that carry, mix, or add chemicals to the flow stream as well as connections that could possibly leak fluid. Should any spill or release occur, every reasonable step will be taken to quickly remediate the area disturbed.
Control of Fire Hazards: Ward and its contractor’s employ best management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and facilities. They will comply with appropriate COGCC and any county rules concerning fire and safety. Ward will ensure that any flammable material will remain no less than 25 feet from the wellhead (s), tanks and separator(s).
Berm Construction: A containment berm will be constructed around the oil and water storage tanks. The berm will be inspected regularly and maintained in good condition.
Tank specifications: Tanks shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Code 30 (2008 version). All tanks will be visually inspected once a day for issues. Recorded inspections will be conducted once a month pursuant to 40 CFR §112.

BOPE for well servicing operations: Adequate blowout prevention equipment will be used on any servicing operations associated with this well. Backup staving valves shall be required on well servicing operations during reverse circulation. Valves will be pressure tested before each well servicing operation using both low-pressure and high-pressure fluid.
BOPE: Ward will utilize drilling rigs with a minimum of a double ram and annular preventer.
Drill Stem Tests: Drill Stem Tests are not anticipated for this location.
