1/13/2021 | General Housekeeping: 804. Visual Impacts: All long term facility structures will be painted a color that enables the facilities to blend in with the natural background color of the landscape, as seen from a viewing distance and location typically used by the public. Maintain appearance with garbage clean-up; a trash bin will be located on site to accumulate waste by the personnel drilling the wells. The Pad Site will have unused equipment, trash, and junk removed immediately. The operator will maintain the surface area and access roads free of trash, debris, and noxious weeds. |

1/13/2021 | Operator will have an MLVT Design Package, certified and sealed by a licensed professional engineer, which is on file in their office and available upon request. The site shall be prepared in accordance with the specifications of the design package prior to tank installation; including ensuring that proper compaction requirements have been met.
The MLVT will be at least 75 feet from a wellhead, fired vessel, heater-treater, or a compressor with a rating of 200 horsepower or more. It will be placed at least 50 feet from a separator, well test unit, or other non-fired equipment.
All liner seams will be welded and tested in accordance with applicable ASTM international standards.
Operator will be present during initial filling of the MLVT and the contractor will supervise and inspect the MLVT for leaks during filling.
Operator will comply with the testing and re-inspection requirements and associated written standard operating procedures (SOP) listed on the design package.
Signs will be posted on the MLVT indicating that the contents are freshwater. The MLVT will be operated with a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard at all times.
Access to the MLVT will be limited to operational personnel and authorized regulatory agency personnel.
Operator or contractor will conduct daily visual inspections of the exterior wall and surrounding area for integrity deficiencies.
Operator will have a contingency plan/emergency response plan associated with the MLVT and it is on file at their office.
A fabric reinforced liner will be utilized. In the event that a tank breach were to occur, the fabric reinforced liner will prevent a “zippering” failure from occurring. The liner will meet the specifications per the design package.
Operator acknowledges and will comply with the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission Policy on the Use of Modular Large Volume Tanks in Colorado dated June 13, 2014. |

1/13/2021 | 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. Secondary containment will be installed around separators consisting of metal berm walls. The separators will be set on top of compacted road base. |

1/13/2021 | 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 will be “shine down” with appropriate shields. |

| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
402069851
1/13/2021 | Green Completions - Flow lines, separators, sand traps, and emission control systems shall be installed on-site to accommodate green completions techniques. When commercial quantities of salable quality gas are achieved at each well, the gas shall be immediately directed to a sales line or shut in and conserved. If a sales line is unavailable or other conditions prevent placing the gas into a sales line, the operator shall not produce the wells without an approved variance per Rule 805.b. (3)C. |
| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A )
402069851
1/13/2021 | GMT will use Group II drilling fluids, consisting of low-toxicity mineral oil and distillate products with an aromatic content of 0.5%-5%. If odor complaints are received and it is determined that they are caused by the drilling fluids, then an odor neutralizing agent or similar product will be added to the system to eliminate the odor.
Hydrocarbon odors from production facilities are minimized and eliminated by keeping produced fluid hydrocarbons and natural gas contained within pipes, separators, tanks, and combustors. All tanks will be sealed with thief hatches and gaskets. Tank vapors are captured with properly sized piping and combustors. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (04 )

6/20/2024 | Operator will install a temporary 32' sound wall on the south side of the pad to mitigate noise impacts to the RBU to the south.
Operator will utilize a Quiet Frac fleet.
Sound panels, or SK8, will be used on this site to isolate noise from individual pieces of equipment if needed.
Drilling rig engine exhausts are pointed straight up so as not to be directed towards any occupied buildings. |
