1/24/2015 | • Prohibit Encana employees and contractors from carrying projectile weapons on
Encana property, except during company organized events.
• Prohibit pets on Encana property.
• Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures, including enforce established
speed limits on Encana private roads, to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation
and deposition in water sources. |

1/24/2015 | Perform biological surveys (on-site) for each new development, using the most recent
data sets for wildlife and wetland resources.
• Perform pre-disturbance surveys when the on-site inspection and commencement of
disturbance occur in different field seasons using the most recent data sets for wildlife
and wetland resources.
• Utilize the Encana Wildlife Resources Matrix to identify and document (where
appropriate) potential impacts or concerns during the project planning phase for
proposed drilling operations and construction of roads, pads and pipelines.
• Minimize the number, length and footprint of oil & gas development roads
• Use existing access routes where possible
• Combine utility infrastructure planning (gas, electric & water) when possible with
roadway planning to avoid separate utility corridors
• Reduce visits to well-sites through remote monitoring when practical (i.e. SCADA).
Maximize use of state-of-the-art drilling technology (e.g., high efficiency rigs, coiledtubing
unit rigs, closed-loop or pitless drilling, etc.) to minimize disturbance. |
| Construction | Form: (02 )

1/24/2015 | At this location, the following construction best management practices will apply:
• Wattles
• Topsoil Windrows (Diversion & ROPs)
• Phased Construction
• Run-on Protection
• Erosion Control Mulch
• Seeding
• Stabilized unpaved surface
• Rip Rap/ECB
• Use multiple gathering lines placed in a single trench to minimize disturbance and
construction, where appropriate, economically and technically feasible.
• Install pipeline crossings at right angles to the drainages, wetlands, and perennial
water bodies, where appropriate, economically and technically feasible.
• Maintain a minimum of five feet of soil cover between the pipeline and the lowest
point of the drainage or water body channel. |
