3/27/2015 | 604c.(2).W. Site-Specific Measures: KMG maintains a Storm Water Management Plan that assesses erosion control for every KMG operated location. This location will be added to this plan once construction begins. This site will be inspected every fourteen (14) days during construction activities, every thirty (30) days after construction is completed, and after any major weather event. |

3/27/2015 | 604c.(2).N. Control of Fire Hazards: KMG and its contractors will employ best management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and facilities and will comply with appropriate COGCC rules concerning safety and fire. KMG will ensure that any material that might be deemed a fire hazard will remain no less than twenty-five (25) feet from the wellhead(s), tanks and separator(s). |

3/27/2015 | 604c.(2).M. Fencing Requirements: The completed wellsites will be surrounded with a fence and gate with adequate lock to restrict access to authorized personnel only. KMG personnel will monitor the wellsites regularly upon completion of the wells. Authorized representatives and/or KMG personnel shall be on-site during drilling and completion operations. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02 )
400769377
3/27/2015 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: Pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (hay bales) will be placed along the south and east sides of the pad location to damper noise during drilling and completions to the nearby residences and to Weld County Roads 10 and 43.
Sound surveys that have been conducted on each rig type are utilized to anticipate any additional noise mitigation once a drilling rig is determined.

3/27/2015 | Prior to drilling operations, Operator may perform an anti-collision review of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This anti-collision review may include MWD or gyro surveys and surface locations of the offset wells with included error of uncertainty per survey instrument, and compared against the proposed wellpath with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottom hole location. The proposed well may only be drilled if the anti-collision review results indicate that the risk of collision is sufficiently low as defined by the anti-collision plan, with separation factors greater than 1.5, or if the risk of collision has been mitigated through other means including shutting in wells, plugging wells, increased drilling fluid in the event of lost returns or as is appropriate for the specific situation. In the event of an increased risk of collision, that risk will be mitigated to prevent harm to people, the environment or property. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, an as-constructed directional survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5.
Please see the attached 318A.n letter for a list of well(s) identified by the operator as being within 150 feet of the proposed well(s). If no letter is attached, the operator has not identified any wells as being within 150 feet of the proposed well(s) at the time of permitting.
