4/4/2023 | Light BMPs
Most work operations will take place 7-days a week & 24-hour a day. Care will be taken to keep lighting levels at the specified levels on the lighting plans while providing safe, well-lit working areas during nighttime and other low-light conditions. Care will also be taken to prevent unintended light from leaving the site and becoming a hazard or nuisance to the public or surrounding wildlife habitat.
During the Pad Construction Operations, no night-time work is anticipated. Daylight work will be performed during this work operation.
All lighting shall conform to Federal, State, and Industry recognized standards for both on-site workplace safety and off-site public protection (OSHA, FAA, COGCC, IESNA, and ANSI). No direct light, except those governed by FAA standards, shall shine beyond the boundaries of the WPS, especially onto public roads, adjacent properties, and/or high priority habitats. All lighting shall conform to all COGCC, county, municipal, and any applicable governing body’s standards.
Temporary lighting will be 3-head LED flood lights on mobile 25-foot telescoping towers (BUG Rating is B3- U3-G5). All lighting will be capable of adjustment and will be directed inward and 45°-65° downward towards working areas on the WPS. No light should shine above the horizontal plane passing through the center point of the light source. Lights will be shielded with a photometric diffusion fabric or membrane tint to prevent direct or reflected direct light from leaving the site.
Permanent lighting will be pole and stanchion mounted floodlights (BUG Rating is B3-U0-G3). All lighting will be capable of adjustment and be directed downward.
Watch for and remove glare and reflection points during all work operations of the project from temporary or permanent structures, temporary lighting, vehicles, construction equipment, and clothing/PPE.
Any lighting damaged and/or improperly directed or angled will be promptly fixed and/or corrected to conform to the lighting plan.
Equipment shall be operated and/or orientated and/or shielded in such a manner that lights permanently affixed to equipment do not shine above the horizontal plane passing through the center point of the light source or shine beyond the boundary of the WPS.
For all work operations, once temporary lighting is in place, a lighting self-audit of the site will be performed to ensure that no unintended light will leave the site and become a hazard or a nuisance.
For any change to the lighting during any work operations, a lighting self-audit of the site will be performed to ensure that no unintended light will leave the site and become a hazard or a nuisance.
For non-working or shut-down days where no personnel are on-site or in working areas, non-essential temporary lighting will be turned off. If no personnel are on-site and essential temporary lighting is needed, the essential temporary lighting will be inspected every 24 hours.
All redundant, unused, or not-needed lights will be turned off.
Any additional light units used to address workplace safety concerns that are not shown on the lighting photometric plans will be verified by a lighting engineer to ensure that the modified lighting will remain within the required lighting standards stated in this report.
Where safely applicable, the following are suggestions to aid in controlling and minimizing the site's lighting levels:
o Using automation, timers, or motion sensors
o Using or changing fixtures to full cut-off lighting fixtures to shield and direct light
o Using or changing to lighting colors that reduce light intensity
o Adjusting or adding additional light shields such as photometric diffusion fabric or tinted membranes

403056235
4/4/2023 | A combination of wattles and a ditch will be implemented around the perimeter of the site in downsloping areas prior to earth disturbing activities taking place. The wattles will be the primary control measure installed until the pad is constructed and the associated ditch and basins can be completed.
During construction and development topsoil stockpiles should not exceed 3:1 (horizontal:vertical) to minimize erosion potential and facilitate interim stabilization.
Topsoil material will be placed south of the cleared pad and will be approximately 6,350 CY.
Topsoil stockpiled for more than six months will be seeded and mulched with a temporary grass cover or will be stabilized using structural and/or non-structural control measures.
The sediment basin (48,664 cubic feet capacity) and spillway will be installed on the west side of the pad.
The sediment basin will have a spillway and a riprap apron outlet and will be installed on the west side of the pad.
Diversion ditches will flow from the north side of the pad and along the south side of the pad leading to the retention pond to the west.
The access road will be graveled.
One (1) 18” CMP culvert will be placed along the access road to protect the drainage.
Two (2) 36” CMP culverts will be placed along the access road to protect the drainage.
One (1) 24” CMP will be placed along the access road to protect the drainage.
Culvert protection will be installed at culvert inlets and outlets to inhibit culverts from becoming clogged.
Surface roughening and permanent seeding will also be used along the access road as stormwater controls.
Sediment Control Logs will be installed along the access road to prevent sediment from entering the drainage.
Sculpted slopes and berms will have seed & mulch, typically a tackifier, applied to provide resistance to erosion. Additionally, any area that is at final grade or not worked during 14 consecutive days will receive temporary stabilization methods, such as the tackifier application.

Manufacturer: Hydrologistics
Count: One (1)
Size: 180' Diameter
Volume: 54,039 bbls
Estimated Time on Location: 5 Weeks
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.
