7/24/2014 | A multi-well site will be used for directional drilling to reduce cumulative impacts and adverse impacts on wildlife resources. Pits are not planned for this location. |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | Fence the well site after drilling to restrict public and wildlife access.
Keep well site location, road and the pipeline easement free of noxious weeds, litter and debris.
Spray for noxious weeds and implement dust control, as needed.
Operator will not permit the release or discharge of any toxic or hazardous chemicals or wastes on Owner’s Land.
Construct and maintain gates where any roads used by operator, its employees, or contractors cross through fences on the leased premises.

| Wildlife | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | Where oil and gas activities must occur within the greater sage grouse leks or within other mapped greater sage grouse breeding or summer habitat, Operator will conduct these activities outside the period between March 1 and June 30.
Restrict post development well site visitations to portions of the day between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm during the lekking season (March 1 to May 15).
Use hospital grade mufflers for compressors, pump jacks or other motors necessary to run operations at the site. Mufflers will be pointed upward to dissipate potential vibration.
Establish company guidelines to minimize wildlife mortality from vehicle collisions on roads. Slow speeds and increased awareness among employees and contractors should lessen impacts to wildlife.
Install and utilize bear-proof dumpsters and trash receptacles for all food-related trash on location, following COGCC Rule 1204.a.(1).

| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | Use water bars and other measures to prevent erosion and non-source pollution.
Implement and maintain BMPs to control storm water runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation.
Co-locate gas and water gathering lines whenever feasible and mitigate any erosion problems that arise due to the construction of any pipeline(s).

| Construction | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | Remove only the minimum amount of vegetation necessary for the construction of roads and facilities.
Conserve topsoil during excavation and reuse as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation.
No construction or routine maintenance activities will be performed during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment.

| Noise mitigation | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | The drill site is far enough away from any building units that noise mitigation will not be required. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | A closed-loop drilling mud system will be used to preclude the use of an earthen reserve pit when available. Light Sources will likewise be directed downwards and away from occupied structures, where possible. Once the drilling and completion rigs leave the site, there will be no permanently installed lighting on site. |
| Interim Reclamation | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | Utilize only such area around each producing well as is reasonably necessary.
Restore the remainder of the well site location to its original condition within a reasonable time after the completion of operations.
All reseeding shall be done with grasses consistent with the Rocky Mountain native mix or other grasses reasonably requested by surface owner and during planting period suggested by Owner.
|
| Final Reclamation | Form: (02 )
400619283
7/24/2014 | All surface restoration shall be accomplished to the satisfaction of Owner.
All reseeding shall be done with grasses consistent with the Rocky Mountain native mix or other grasses reasonably requested by surface owner and during planting period suggested by Owner.
Final reclamation shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Owner as soon as practical after installation (weather permitting) and in accordance with regulatory agency standards (BLM/COGCC).

6/28/2016 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole Resistivity Log and Gamma Ray Log from the kick-off point into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log with gamma-ray run on production casing (or on intermediate casing if production liner is run) into the surface casing. The horizontal portion of every well will be logged with a measured-while-drilling gamma-ray log. The Form 5, Completion Report, for each well on the pad will list all logs run and have those logs attached.The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall clearly identify (by API#, well name & number) the well in which open-hole logs were run. |
