Planning | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).E. Multi-Well Pads: In order to reduce surface impact, this application is for a four-well pad. |
Planning | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).Q. Guy Line Anchors: Guy line anchors will not be used. Base Beams will be used to stabilize the rig and removed after drilling. |
Planning | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).R. Tank Specifications: Two 500 barrel skid-mounted frac tanks will be temporarily placed on-site for use of the pre-spud rig only. One tank will store water and the other will store water based mud. |
Planning | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).S. Access Roads: KMG will utilize a lease access road from CR 19 for drilling, completions, and production operations, including maintenance equipment. The road will be properly constructed and maintained to accommodate for local emergency vehicle access. |
Community Outreach and Notification | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 305.a.(2) A Notice of Intent to Conduct Operations was sent to each building unit owner within the Exception Zone or Buffer Zone Setback. Recipients did not contact KMG.
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.

Traffic control | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).D. Traffic Plan: Prior to the commencement of operations, the operator will obtain access and ROW permits per Weld County Code and implement COAs or traffic control plans as required. |
General Housekeeping | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).O. Loadlines: All loadlines shall be bullplugged or capped. |
General Housekeeping | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).P. Removal of Surface Trash: A commercial size trash bin for removing debris will be located on site. This bin will be for use by all parties affiliated with the operation. Upon completion of operations, the commercial trash bin will be removed from the location and disposed of in an appropriate manner. |
Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 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 twenty-eight (28) days after construction is completed, and after any major weather event. |
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 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). |
Dust control | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 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. |
Construction | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 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. |
Construction | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | Construction of this pad will be limited to daylight hours. |
Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).A. Noise
Drilling: 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. During drilling operations, at a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed along the West side in order to mitigate the building unit directly to the West (~285’), the north side and half of the north east corner to mitigate the building units directly to the north, north west and north east (~730’ NW, ~350' N, ~640’ N, ~421' NE, ~650’ NE, 670’ NE, ~900’ NE, 910’ NE & 910’ NE).
Completions: During completion operations, at a minimum, and pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed along the West side in order to mitigate the building unit directly to the West (~285’), the north side and half of the north east corner to mitigate the building units directly to the north, north west and north east (~730’ NW, ~640’ N, ~650’ NE, 670’ NE, ~900’ NE, 910’ NE & 910’ NE).LED lights will be used during completion operations.
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.

Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 803. Lighting: To the extent practicable, site lighting shall be shielded and directed downward and inward toward operations to avoid glare on public roads and nearby Building Units. |
Final Reclamation | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).T. Well Site Cleared: The wellsite will be cleared of all non-essential equipment within ninety (90) days after all wells associated with the pad have been plugged and abandoned. |
Final Reclamation | Form: (02A ) 401162764 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).U. Identification of Plugged and Abandoned Wells: Pursuant to rule 319.a.(5)., once the well has been plugged and abandoned, KMG will identify the location of the wellbore with a permanent monument that will detail the well name and date of plugging. |
