9/18/2017 | 305.a.(2) A Notice of Intent to Conduct Operations was sent to each building unit owner within the Exception Zone or Buffer Zone Setback. Recipients did not contact KMG.
As a part of planning this proposed location, Kerr-McGee held multi-disciplinary Surface Impact Planning Meetings regarding the impacts and mitigations associated with this proposed location. The toll-free hotline number and email for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line will be posted at the entrance to the lease access road for stakeholders during drilling and completion operations at this proposed location. Courtesy Notifications will be sent to impacted stakeholders prior to drilling operations and again prior to completions operations, providing contact information for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line and online resources.

9/18/2017 | 604c.(2).F. Leak Detection Plan: Automation technology will be utilized at this facility. This technology includes the use of fluid level monitoring for the tanks and produced water sumps, high-level shut offs, and electronic sensors to monitor the interstitial space of double-walled produced water sumps. All automation is monitored by Kerr-McGee’s Integrated Operations Center (IOC), which is manned 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. |
| Dust control | Form: (02A )
401130408
9/18/2017 | 805.c. Dust: Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed. If feasible, magnesium chloride will also be used as needed on access roads to further abate dust. |

401130408
9/18/2017 | 604c.(2).M. Fencing Requirements: The completed wellsites will be surrounded with a fence and gate with adequate lock to restrict access to authorized personnel only. KMG personnel will monitor the wellsites regularly upon completion of the wells. Authorized representatives and/or KMG personnel shall be on-site during drilling and completion operations. |
| Construction | Form: (02A )
401130408
9/18/2017 | 604c.(2).G. Berm Construction: A geosynthetic liner will be laid under the tanks on this location and a metal containment will be constructed. Berms or other secondary containment devices will be constructed around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks and shall enclose an area sufficient to contain and provide secondary containment for 150% of the largest single tank. Berms and other secondary containment devices shall be inspected at scheduled intervals and maintained in good condition |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A )
401130408
9/18/2017 | 604c.(2).A. Noise:
DRILLING: Sound surveys have been conducted on each rig type and are utilized to anticipate any additional effective noise mitigation once a drilling rig is determined. During drilling operations, at a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed along the west side to mitigate the building unit directly to the west (~720’ away) and the building unit to the north west (~820’ away). There will also be straw bales to the north to mitigate the group of building units to the north (~1000’ away) and on the south west corner to mitigate the building unit to the south west (~920’ away). Please note, there will be a break in bales to accommodate the access road. In lieu of straw bales, sound walls may be placed along the north, west and southwest corner of the pad location to dampen noise and minimize impact when appropriate.
COMPLETIONS: During completion operations, at a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed along the west side to mitigate the building unit directly to the west (~720’ away) and the building unit to the north west (~820’ away). There will also be straw bales to the north to mitigate the group of building units to the north (~1000’ away) and on the south west corner to mitigate the building unit to the south west (~920’ away). Please note, there will be a break in bales to accommodate the access road. In lieu of straw bales, sound walls may be placed along the north, west and southwest corner of the pad location to dampen noise and minimize impact when appropriate. LED lights will be used during completion operations.
Should technological advancements allow for better noise mitigation at the time of drilling and completion operations on this location, Kerr-McGee will re-evaluate the most effective method at that time.
