| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )
401552974
8/24/2018 | SRC will also put a berm on our pad that will contain any storm water. SRC will install a pipe with a valve that we can close so we can control and run off as well as any spill. The natural drainage in this area is to flow south east. When we do let storm water go from our pad it is through our sediment trap so we control where the water is going and to help with sediment. As mentioned above SRC does have a controlled valve that we can shut in the event of a spill to protect the wetland.

8/24/2018 | 604.c.(3)B. Berm Construction. Tank berms shall be constructed of steel rings with a synthetic or engineered liner and designed to contain 150% of the capacity of the largest tank. All berms will be visually checked periodically to ensure proper working condition. Secondary containment devices shall be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. Tertiary containment, such as an earthen berm, will be installed around production facilities.
SRC will put steel berms around all of our separators at this location. |

8/24/2018 | 803 Light sources during all phases of operations will be directed downwards and away from occupied structures where possible. Once the drilling and completion rigs leave the site, lighting usually exists on the entrance/exit doors to the LACT units and Instrument Air skids, all for safety. The light fixtures need to be specified as “shine down” with appropriate shields. |

8/24/2018 | SRC will have ditch and berm with designated sediment traps that water will run through before entering the natural drainage and into the wet land. Also the city of Greeley is requiring SRC to install silt fence around our locations that will also help. To further protect the adjacent wetland, the boundary will be marked and/or fenced to ensure that all work and fill will remain outside of the wetland boundary. Should a release occur onsite that impacts the wetland, any necessary cleanup activities will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 20. |

We will have sound walls as follows:
North Well Pad- Sound Walls
West, North and East
South Well Pad- Sound Walls
West, South and East

8/24/2018 | Green Completions - Emission Control System: Test separators and associated flow lines and sand traps shall be installed on-site to accommodate green completions techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules. The flowback gas shall be sold or shall be captured and combusted with an Emissions Control Device (ECD), which will be installed and kept in operable condition for least the first 90-days of production pursuant to CDPHE rules. This ECD shall have an adequate capacity for 1.5 times the largest flowback within a 10 mile radius, and will be piped to other or permanent
equipment and shall be provided with the equipment needed to maintain combustions where non-combustible gases are present. There is a sales line available, at the first sign of salable quality gas SRC Energy will turn the gas to a sales line. |

8/24/2018 | For the OBM system, the base fluid is D822. The fluid is a refined product that has low VOC and BTEX counts. The BTEX counts are trace levels so this provides a much safer work environment as compared to diesel. The product has a reduction in aromatic compounds when compared to diesel so the odor emitted by the fluid is minimal. The flash point is 85°F higher than diesel which increases the overall safety of the product. During our drilling operations we average 5-6 loads of cuttings hauled off per day to a disposal facility. During the platting process of every location, special consideration is payed to the orientation of the rig with respect to surrounding residential units. When possible, the generators will be placed on the far side of location away from surrounding occupied units. Prevailing wind direction is taken into consideration when planning a location in order to mitigate odor, and noise from being a nuisance to the surrounding stakeholders. When possible, the rig is oriented in a way in which residential units are upwind from the location. Hydrocarbon odors from production facilities are minimize and eliminated by keeping all product inside pipe, separators, tanks, and combustors. Uncommon leaks are discovered by frequent FLIR camera inspections and immediately repaired. All tanks are sealed with best available industry thief hatches and gaskets. Tank vapors are captured with properly sized piping and combustors. |
