COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results
TypeSource DocumentConditions of Approval
OGLAForm: (02A)
401340464
08/02/2017
Operator shall manage noxious weeds in accordance with a weed management plan, if required by the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, to prevent the spread of noxious weeds and to eradicate or control, as necessary, existing noxious weeds.
Reclamation SpecialistForm: (04)
402013044
04/29/2019
Approval/Passing of the form 4 acknowledges that the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has received the notice. It is not an acknowledgement that an inspection has been passed. Approval/Passing of the form 4 is not an endorsement by the COGCC for the stormwater plan that has been attached/included with this sundry. Stormwater management needs to be adaptive; if it is determined that a specific BMP is insufficient to mitigate degradation on a site, cannot be implemented per installation specification, or maintained in effective operating condition, then alternative BMPs that are better suited to meet the site’s conditions should be considered and applied, or used in conjunction. A field inspection will be conducted at a future date to evaluate compliance with 1002.f rules.
OGLAForm: (04)
402185365
09/27/2019
Green Completions - Test separators and associated flow lines, sand traps and emission control systems shall be installed on-site to accommodate green completions techniques. When commercial quantities of salable quality gas are achieved at each well, the gas shall be immediately directed to a sales line or shut in and conserved. If a sales line is unavailable or other conditions prevent placing the gas into a sales line, the operator shall not produce the wells without an approved variance per Rule 805.b.(3)C.
 
COGIS - Best Management Practice Results
BMP TypeSource DocumentBest Management Practices
General HousekeepingForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
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.
General HousekeepingForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
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.
Storm Water/Erosion ControlForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
Implement and maintain BMPs to control stormwater runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation. Co-locate gas and water gathering lines whenever feasible, and mitigate any erosion problems that arise due to the construction of any pipeline(s).
Dust controlForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
Operator shall employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by their operations. Such practices shall include but are not limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of construction activity during high- wind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Additional management practices such as road surfacing, wind breaks and barriers may be used.
ConstructionForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
Light sources during all phases of operations will be directed downwards and away from occupied structures and public roads where possible. Permanent lighting shall be mounted at compressor stations on a pole or building and directed downward to illuminate key areas within the facility, while minimizing the amount of light projected outside the facility.
Odor mitigationForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
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.
Drilling/Completion OperationsForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
Anti-collision: Operator will perform an anti-collision evaluation of all active (producing, shut in, or temporarily abandoned) offset wellbores that have the potential of being within 150 feet of a proposed well prior to drilling operations for the proposed well. Notice shall be given to all offset operators prior to drilling.

Operator has an MLVT Design Package, certified and sealed by a licensed professional engineer, which is on file in their office and available upon request. The site shall be prepared in accordance with the specifications of the design package prior to tank installation; including ensuring that proper compaction requirements have been met. The MLVT will be at least 75 feet from a wellhead, fired vessel, heater-treater, or a compressor with a rating of 200 horsepower or more. It will be placed at least 50 feet from a separator, well test unit, or other non-fired equipment. All liner seams will be welded and tested in accordance with applicable ASTM International standards. Operator will be present during initial filling of the MLVT and the contractor will supervise and inspect the MLVT for leaks during filling. Operator will comply with the testing and re-inspection requirements and associated written standard operating procedures (SOP) listed on the design package. Signs will be posted on the MLVT indicating that the contents are freshwater. The MLVT will be operated with a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard at all times. Access to the MLVT will be limited to operational personnel and authorized regulatory agency personnel. Operator or contractor will conduct daily visual inspections of the exterior wall and surrounding area for integrity deficiencies. Operator has developed a contingency plan/emergency response plan associated with the MLVT and it is on file at their office. Operator acknowledges and will comply with the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission Policy on the Use of Modular Large Volume Tanks in Colorado dated June 13, 2014.
Interim ReclamationForm: (02A )
401340464
11/2/2017
Operator shall be responsible for segregating the topsoil, backfilling, re-compacting, reseeding, and re-contouring the surface of any disturbed area so as not to interfere with Owner’s operations and shall reclaim such area to be returned to pre-existing conditions as best as possible with control of all noxious weeds.

Tank berms shall be constructed of steel walls with an engineered synthetic liner and designed to contain 100% of the capacity of the largest tank (or manifolded tanks) with the addition of rain water from a 25-year 24-hour storm event and 5% additional freeboard to account for any small piping or equipment that may be in containment. The engineered secondary containment system will be constructed of a perimeter of walls that are post driven into the ground around a flexible geotextile base. All components will then be sprayed with a polyurea liner technology. This liner technology maintains impermeability and puncture resistance under exposure to UV rays, weather extremes, and chemicals commonly encountered in oil and natural gas production, and provides seamless protection. All berms will be visually checked weekly at a minimum to a maximum of daily to ensure proper working condition.

An Emergency Response Plan was previously submitted and approved from both the local emergency responders and Weld County’s Director of Emergency Management prior to receiving the approved WOGLA. The Emergency Response Plan includes general field wide, site specific safety protocol, and a tactical response plan.
