08/02/2023 | Prior to commencing operations, the operator will post signs in conspicuous locations at intersections that will remain in place throughout the duration of the plug and abandonment activities. The signs will indicate plugging and abandonment operations are being conducted, the well name, well, and the applicable contact information. Signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard. |

08/02/2023 | Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs): prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of RBUs that are nearby and adjacent to the parcel on which the well is located. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations. |

08/09/2023 | Prior to starting plugging operations a bradenhead test shall be performed if there has not been a reported bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
1) If, before opening the bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required.
2) If pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or if any liquids were present during the test, sampling is required.
The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions. If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the ECMC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
If there is a need for sampling, contact ECMC engineering for verification of plugging procedure.
