Construction | Form: (02A ) 400651431 6/22/2016 | 604.c.(2)E.ii. The pad will be constructed in such a manner that noise mitigation may be installed and removed without disturbing the site or landscaping. |
Construction | Form: (02A ) 400651431 6/22/2016 | 604.c.(2)E.iii. Subject pad will have all weather access roads to allow for operator and emergency response. |
Construction | Form: (02A ) 400651431 6/22/2016 | 604.c.(2)G. Encana utilizes 24” tall corrugated galvanized metal berm walls with a capacity in excess of 150% of the largest tank contained within the wall. In addition, Encana best practices mandates the use of impervious liners that extends under each storage tank and up the walls, permanently affixed to the top of the metal berm wall. Protrusions of piping that come through the liner include a fully sealed “boot” to prevent leakage. |

If low frequency noise is a concern, measurement of dBC will be taken 25 feet from the occupied structure towards the noise source. As necessary, based on the survey, Encana will install temporary sound walls to minimize noise and light impacts during drilling and completions and will install permanent noise mitigation at the facility location as necessary to meet all COGCC regulations. |
