7/3/2019 | KMG currently plans to use the water-on-demand system on this location which is a network of over 140 miles of underground pipeline that stretches the length of the 20-mile by 30-mile field to source and transport water to completions crews. This system eliminates more than 2,000 truck trips per day, also reducing associated concerns of traffic, noise, emissions and dust. |

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 )
401779724
7/3/2019 | 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. At a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (sound wall) will be placed along the northern and eastern sides of the pad location, with kickers on the NW and SE corners, to dampen noise and minimize impact to the nearby residences and to County Roads CR 1 and CR 54 during drilling and completions. Additional proactive noise mitigation measures: to further reduce noise impacts, the rig that will drill these wells has been modified to reduce noise. Performed sound studies have confirmed APC will be in compliant with rule 802. Completions will also utilize quiet fleet technology. 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. |
| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
