The berm is located 1010' from the building unit. The berm will be steel and have a bentonite liner. The bermed area will be sufficient to contain one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the largest single tank. All containment devices will be inspected during weekly AVO and annual lease inspections. Secondary containment will be maintained in good condition. No potential ignition sources will be installed inside the secondary containment area, except for fired vessels. No downgradient surface water feature is located within 500’ of this location. This location is not within a UMA. |
| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | Adequate blowout prevention equipment will be used on all well servicing operations. Backup stabbing valves will be present for well servicing operations during reverse circulation.

| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | No pits will be constructed on this location. All tankage in use will have a level indicator device. |
| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | All loadlines will be bullplugged or capped. |
| Construction | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | The location will be fenced and the road will be gated to restrict access by unauthorized persons. |
| Construction | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | No guy line anchors will remain on location after drilling operations. |
| Construction | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | All crude oil and condensate storage tanks installed on location will be designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30 (2008 version). |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | Operator will conduct a noise survey prior to construction to ensure that maximum permissible noise levels as measured at the nearest building are not exceeded during normal operations (except for short-term allowable exceedances). If noise exceeds the exterior noise level limits appropriate noise mitigation will be installed. In addition, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between Arapahoe County and Applicant (the “MOU”), Operator will post 24-hour, 7 days per week contact information to deal with all noise complaints arising from Operator’s oil and gas operations, and Applicant will address noise concerns from neighbors on a case-by-case basis. Noise will be monitored throughout all aspects of development and addressed.
Location lighting will be directed downward and inward and shielded so as to avoid glare on public roads and building units within one thousand (1,000) feet.
All noise and light mitigation will be constructed so that it can be installed and removed without disturbing the site or landscaping. |
| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | Operator will use closed top pits to contain all oil based mud and the tank farm will be placed approximately 1100’ from the building unit. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | Closed Loop Drilling System will be used during drilling operations. Fresh water storage will be in an MVTL outside of the 1000’ buffer zone, managed and operated by a third party. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A ) 401488307 4/19/2018 | Green Completions will be used on this location. Temporary equipment such as flow lines, separators, and sand traps needed to support green completions will be installed and sized based on expected well productivity as calculated by the highest gas productivity from wells within a 1-mile radius. Flowback combustors will be sized to handle 1.5 times the largest flowback volume of gas experienced in a 10-mile radius. Valves and porting will be installed to divert gas to temporary equipment if needed. Auxiliary fuel will be available to sustain combustion of the gas mixture when the mixture includes non-combustible gases.
Siting of the Location was partly based on the location of the gas sales meters. The gas sales meters are located along the western perimeter of the location providing the shortest potential tie-in to gas offtake. Operator shall tie-into the gas sales meter when saleable gas quntity have been met. |
