As a part of planning this proposed location, Kerr-McGee held multi-disciplinary Surface Impact Planning Meetings regarding the impacts and mitigations associated with this proposed location. The toll-free hotline number and email for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line will be posted at the entrance to the lease access road for stakeholders during drilling and completion operations at this proposed location. Courtesy Notifications will be sent to impacted stakeholders prior to drilling operations and again prior to completions operations, providing contact information for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line and online resources. Additionally, Kerr-McGee representatives from a variety of disciplines will be available to meet with stakeholders at a community meeting, to be scheduled prior to drilling operations commencing.

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). |
| Dust control | Form: (02 )
400911888
3/31/2016 | 805.c. Dust: Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed. If feasible, magnesium chloride will also be used as needed on access roads to further abate dust. Straw bales placed on location will further assist with dust mitigation. |

400911888
3/31/2016 | 604c.(2).G. Berm Construction: A geosynthetic liner will be laid under the tanks on this location and a metal containment will be constructed. Berms or other secondary containment devices will be constructed around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks and shall enclose an area sufficient to contain and provide secondary containment for 150% of the largest single tank. |

3/31/2016 | 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 )
400911888
3/31/2016 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: At a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed around the perimeter of the pad location (excluding access points) to dampen noise and minimize impact to nearby residences during drilling and completions. An ambient noise survey will be conducted prior to operations. Sound surveys have been conducted on each rig type and are utilized to anticipate any additional effective noise mitigation once a drilling rig is determined. Pending any operational constraints, every effort will be made to orient the rig in such a way that noise from the shakers will be directed toward the north and away from the homes near this location. Should technological advancements allow for better noise mitigation at the time of drilling and completion operations on this location, Kerr-McGee will re-evaluate the most effective method at that time.
Production facility design for this location incorporated enclosures on significant sources of noise, including the LACT Unit, air compressor, combustors, and automated level control valves on separators. Additionally, no VRUs were utilized in the design of this location, further reducing noise impact.

3/31/2016 | 604c.(2).C. Green Completions: Temporary above ground polyethylene water pipelines will deliver water to location operations from larger trunk lines to reduce truck traffic and minimize air pollution. Pipeline infrastructure is in place prior to completions operations to ensure saleable gas, once hydrocarbons are cut, is sent directly to sales without flaring during flowback.
Environmental Control Devices or Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Combustors will be used to control working and breathing vapor losses for oil and water tanks.
