8/22/2016 | 604.c.(2)A. Noise Mitigation: Sound walls will be used to surround the well site during drilling and completion operations to shield sensitive areas. Sound walls will be used to surround the vapor recovery units and or combustions motors. Baseline noise monitoring and testing will be conducted prior to the commencement of construction. Additional sound mitigation measures will be considered and implemented pursuant to third party recommendations. All noise survey data will be made available to the COGCC inspector upon request.
During completion activities, onsite equipment shall be positioned to take full advantage of the sound mitigation measures provided by the sound walls, well pad grading, and surrounding topography. Completion equipment shall be positioned on the well pad in areas where the cut and slope is the greatest as to maximize the mitigation that is provided by elevations change.

Operator is in the process of implementing a new base fluid for Oil Base Mud systems. The aromatics and BTEX concentrations are much less than that of generic diesel. With these two things being the major contributors to the odor from diesel, this should lead to less odor at the drill site caused by OBM.
The production facilities will have VOC combustors with emission control devices to comply with the Department of Public Health and Environment, Air Quality Control Commission. |
