2/26/2017 | Planning: 804. Visual Impacts: All long term facility structures will be painted a color that enables the facilities to blend in with the natural background color of the landscape, as seen from a viewing distance and location typically used by the public. 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. |

2/26/2017 | Construction: 604.c.(3)B. Berm Construction. Tank berms shall be constructed of steel rings with a synthetic or engineered liner and designed to contain 150% of the capacity of the largest tank. 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. Tertiary containment, such as an earthen berm, will be installed around production facilities. |

2/26/2017 | Construction: 803 Light sources during all phases of operations will be directed downwards and away from occupied structures where possible. Once the drilling and completion rigs leave the site, lighting usually exists on the entrance/exit doors to the LACT units and Instrument Air skids, all for safety. The light fixtures need to be specified as “shine down” with appropriate shields.

| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A )
401167301
2/26/2017 | Odor Mitigation: Rule 805: Oil & gas facilities and equipment shall be operated in such a manner that odors and dust do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. For the OBM system, the base fluid is D822. The fluid is a refined product that has low VOC and BTEX counts. The BTEX counts are trace levels so this provides a much safer work environment as compared to diesel. The product has a reduction in aromatic compounds when compared to diesel so the odor emitted by the fluid is minimal. The flash point is 85°F higher than diesel which increases the overall safety of the product. During our drilling operations we average 5-6 loads of cuttings hauled off per day to a disposal facility. During the platting process of every location, special consideration is payed to the orientation of the rig with respect to surrounding residential units. When possible, the generators will be placed on the far side of location away from surrounding occupied units. Prevailing wind direction is taken into consideration when planning a location in order to mitigate odor, and noise from being a nuisance to the surrounding stakeholders. When possible, the rig is oriented in a way in which residential units are upwind from the location. Hydrocarbon odors from production facilities are minimize and eliminated by keeping all product inside pipe, separators, tanks, and combustors. Uncommon leaks are discovered by frequent FLIR camera inspections and immediately repaired. All tanks are sealed with best available industry thief hatches and gaskets. Tank vapors are captured with properly sized piping and combustors. |

Pit level Indicators - For the rig pits (steel tanks) we utilize the Pason PVT (Pit Volume Totalizer) system in conjunction with the EDR (Electronic Depth Recorder) systems on both rigs which incorporate digital recording of pit volumes, settable alarms for gain and loss so we are able to track the pit volumes. These items are standard on a 5K system which is what we are permitting for. |
