8/9/2017 | Stormwater management plans (SWMP) will be in place to address construction, drilling, and operations associated with CDPHE permits. BMPs for stormwater will be implemented around the perimeter of the pad prior to or during construction and will vary according to the location. These BMPs will remain in place and maintained throughout operations until final reclamation. |

8/9/2017 | Drip pans will be used during fueling of equipment to contain spills and leaks. Visual inspections of pipe and connections will be performed frequently to detect leaks which will be immediately corrected, repaired and reported to COGCC as required. Spill prevention Control Countermeasure (SPCC) will be in place to address any possible spill associated with oil and gas operations. |

8/9/2017 | During drilling operations, we anticipate 4-5 loads, @ 20 yards per load, of cuttings per day will be transported off-site to an approved disposal facility in accordance with Operator’s waste management plan. All loads leaving the location will have a manifest and will be documented. Water-based and Oil-based cuttings will be disposed of offsite and at a licensed, commercial disposal site. |

8/9/2017 | Location will be graded to divert surface runoff away from surface water features. Operator will create tertiary containment by construction of a berm, diversion ditch, sediment trap or comparable measures sufficient to direct stormwater away from the Denver Hudson Canal located ±473' W and two ditches located ±561' and ±564' SW of the location. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A )
401273477
8/9/2017 | Operator will consult with owners of residents and occupied structures and other stakeholders to reduce impact of noise and light during drilling and completion operations. The direction of prevailing winds is considered when planning the location in order to mitigate odor and noise from being a nuisance to the surrounding residents and occupied structures. In order to minimize sound levels during drilling operations at nearby residences, rig generators will be located as far as possible from the residence by rig orientation. Rig lighting will also be directed away from residential units. |
| Final Reclamation | Form: (02A )
