Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | To protect surface water during construction a ditch/berm around the pad and sediment traps will be constructed then lined prior to commencing grading of the well pad location. |
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 604c.(2).W. Site-Specific Measures: KMG maintains a Storm Water Management Plan that assesses erosion control for every KMG operated location. This location will be added to this plan once construction begins. This site will be inspected every fourteen (14) days during construction activities, every twenty-eight (28) days after construction is completed, and after any major weather event.
|
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 604c.(2).N. Control of Fire Hazards: KMG and its contractors will employ best management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and facilities and will comply with appropriate COGCC rules concerning safety and fire. KMG will ensure that any material that might be deemed a fire hazard will remain no less than twenty-five (25) feet from the wellhead(s), tanks and separator(s).

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 |
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 604.c.(2)R BMP: crude oil and condensate storage tanks shall be designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30 (2008 version). written records verifying proper design, construction, and maintenance will be maintained and made available to the COGCC upon request. |
Dust control | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 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. |
Construction | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 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. |
Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: 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.
|
Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | At a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (sound wall) will be placed along the south, east sides and along the west side up to the well row to dampen noise and minimize impact to the nearby residences during drilling and completions.
|
Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 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. |
Odor mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401361827 12/18/2017 | 805b. Odors: KMG will comply with the provisions of 805b as deemed applicable. Additional BMPs for THIS location are: 1) the storage of excess drilling fluid (e.g., fluid not being used in the active mud system) in closed, upright tanks; and 2) the use of an odor neutralizer in the active mud system. |
