4/14/2012 | BBC WILDLIFE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
GENERAL WILDLIFE AND EVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES
? Establish policies to protect wildlife (e.g., no poaching, no firearms, no dogs on location, no feeding of wildlife, etc.)
? Promptly report spills that affect wildlife to the Water Quality Control Division of CDPHE and CDOW
? Avoid location staging, refueling, and storage areas within 300 feet, of any reservoir, lake, wetland, or natural perennial or seasonal flowing stream or river.
INFRASTRUCTURE LAYOUT WILDLIFE PROTECTION MEASUIRES
? Implementing fugitive dust control measures
? Limit parking to disturbed areas as much as possible
DRILLING AND PRODUCTION OPERATION WILDLIFE PROTECTION MEASURES
? Reduce visits to well-sites through remote monitoring (i.e. SCADA) and the use of multifunction contractors, where practicable.
? Install exclusionary device to prevent bird and other wildlife access to equipment stacks, vents and openings.
? Establish company guidelines to minimize wildlife mortality from vehicle collision on roads.
FLUID PIT/POND WILDLIFE PROTECTION MEASURES
? Install and maintain adequate measures to exclude all types of wildlife (e.g., big game and birds) from all fluid pits/ponds with fencing, flagging and other appropriate exclusion measures). BBC currently installs 6’ wildlife proof fences on all pits and freshwater ponds with free liquids. In addition, BBC will install bird netting over “inactive” pits with free liquids after 30 days of inactivity.
INVASIVE/NON-NATIVE VEGETATION CONTROL
? Educate employees and contractors about noxious and invasive weed issues.
RESTORATION, RECLAMATION AND ABANDONMENT
? Avoid aggressive non-native grasses and shrubs in mule deer and elk habitat restorations.
? Revegetate with seed mixtures that are of the surface owner’s preference that are compatible with both livestock and wildlife. |

? Dispose properly offsite any wastes fluids and other materials
MATERIAL HANDLING, ACTIVITIES, PRACTICES AND STORM WATER DIVERSION
? Secondary containment of tanks, drums, and storage areas is mandatory to prohibit discharges to surface waters. A minimum of 110% capacity required of largest storage tank within a containment area
? Material handling and spill prevention procedures and practices will be followed to help prohibit discharges to surface waters
? Proper loading, and transportation procedures to be followed for all materials to and from locations
EROSION CONTROL
? Pad and access road to be designed to minimize erosion
? Pad and access road to implement appropriate erosion control devices where necessary to minimize erosion
? Routine inspections of sites and controls to be implemented with additions, repairs, and optimization to occur as necessary to minimize erosion
SELF INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND HOUSEKEEPING
? All employees are trained in spill response, good housekeeping, material management practices, and procedures for equipment and container washing annually
? Conduct internal storm water inspections per applicable stormwater regulations
? Conduct routine informal inspections of all tanks and storage facilities at least weekly
? All containment areas are to be inspected weekly or following a heavy rain event.
? Any excessive precipitation accumulation within containment should be removed as appropriate and disposed of properly
? All structural berms, dikes, and containment will be inspected periodically to ensure they are operating correctly
SPILL RESPONSE
? Spill response procedures as per the BBC field SPCC Plan
VEHICLE & LOCATION PROCEDURES
? Vehicles entering location are to be free of chemical, oil, mud, weeds, trash, and debris
