6/20/2017 | Drip pans will be used during fueling of equipment to contain spills and leaks. Visual inspections of pipe and connections will be performed frequently to detect leaks which will be immediately corrected, repaired and reported to COGCC as required. Spill prevention Control Countermeasure (SPCC) will be in place to address any possible spill associated with oil and gas operations. |

6/20/2017 | During drilling operations, we anticipate 4-5 loads, @ 20 yards per load, of cuttings per day will be transported off-site to an approved disposal facility in accordance with Operator’s waste management plan. All loads leaving the location will have a manifest and will be documented. Water-based and Oil-based cuttings will be disposed of offsite and at a licensed, commercial disposal site. |

6/20/2017 | Operator will consult with owners of residents and occupied structures and other stakeholders to reduce impact of noise and light during drilling and completion operations. The direction of prevailing winds is considered when planning the location in order to mitigate odor and noise from being a nuisance to the surrounding residents and occupied structures. In order to minimize sound levels during drilling operations at nearby residences, rig generators will be located as far as possible from the residence by rig orientation. Rig lighting will also be directed away from residential units. |

6/20/2017 | Rule 604.c.I: Upon initial rig-up and at least once every thirty (30) days during drilling operations thereafter, pressure testing of the casing string and each component of the blowout prevention equipment including flange connections shall be performed to seventy percent (70%) of working pressure or seventy percent (70%) of the internal yield of casing, whichever is less. Pressure testing shall be conducted and the documented results shall be retained by the operator for inspection by the Director for a period of one (1) year. Activation of the pipe rams for function testing shall be conducted on a daily basis when practicable. |

6/20/2017 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with cased hole Pulsed Neutron Log with Gamma Ray Log from KOP 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 in that well and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for each well shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall reference the Rule 317.p Exception granted for the well. |
