401803247
12/20/2019 | 305.a.(2) A Notice of Intent to Conduct Operations was sent to each building unit owner within the Exception Zone or Buffer Zone Setback. Recipients signed a 305.a(2) waiver, waiving the required 30 day timeframe.
As a part of planning this proposed location, Kerr-McGee held multi-disciplinary Surface Impact Planning Meetings regarding the impacts and mitigations associated with this proposed location. The toll-free hotline number and email for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line will be posted at the entrance to the lease access road for stakeholders during drilling and completion operations at this proposed location. Courtesy Notifications will be sent to impacted stakeholders prior to drilling operations and again prior to completions operations, providing contact information for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line and online resources.

12/20/2019 | 604c.(2).D. Traffic Plan: Prior to the commencement of operations, the operator will obtain access and ROW permits per Weld County and Larimer Codes if required and implement COAs or traffic control plans as required.
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.

12/20/2019 | 604c.(2).P. Removal of Surface Trash: A commercial size trash bin for removing debris will be located on site. This bin will be for use by all parties affiliated with the operation. Upon completion of operations, the commercial trash bin will be removed from the location and disposed of in an appropriate manner. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )
401803247
12/20/2019 | 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. |

12/20/2019 | 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). |

12/20/2019 | 606.A.d. Fire Prevention and Protection: KMG and its contractors will employ best management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and and will comply with appropriate COGCC rules concerning fire prevention. Flammable liquids will not be stored within (fifty) 50’ of the proposed wellheads. If storage of flammable liquid is to be conducted within (fifty) 50’ of the wellhead, sufficient safety measures will be implemented. |

12/20/2019 | Leak Detection Plan: Automation technology will be utilized at this facility. This technology includes the use of fluid level monitoring for the produced water sumps, high-level shut offs, and electronic sensors to monitor the interstitial space of double-walled produced water sumps. All automation is monitored by Kerr-McGee’s Integrated Operations Center (IOC), which is manned 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. |
| Dust control | Form: (02A )
401803247
12/20/2019 | 805.c. Dust: Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed. Magnesium chloride will also be used as needed on access roads to further abate dust. |

12/20/2019 | 803. Lighting: Site lighting shall be shielded and directed downward and inward toward operations to avoid glare on public roads and nearby Building Units. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A )
401803247
12/20/2019 | 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 walls will be placed around the south, east and the east half of the north side of the well pad location to dampen noise and minimize impact to the nearby residences and to Weld County Roads 13 and Larimer CR 1 during drilling and completions. 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 )
401803247
12/20/2019 | 805b. Odors: KMG will comply with the provisions of 805.b. Additional BMPs for the Folley 9-13hz 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. |
