10/17/2017 | Operator shall pressure test pipelines (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks; and any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations) in accordance with Rule 1101.e.(1) prior to putting into initial service any temporary surface or permanent buried pipelines and following any reconfiguration of the pipeline network, and tested annually, unless agreed to by both parties that the flowlines can be managed under an approved COGCC variance. |

10/17/2017 | The moisture content of water/bentonite based mud (WBM) generated drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. After drilling and completion operations have been completed, if any of the WBM drill cuttings will remain on the well pad location (cuttings management area, the cut portion of the pad, cuttings trench, dry cuttings drilling pit), they must be sampled and meet the applicable standards of Table 910-1. No liners (if used) are allowed to be disposed of with the drill cuttings. After the drill cuttings have been amended (if necessary) and placed on the well pad, sampling frequency of the drill cuttings (to be determined by the operator) shall be representative of the material left on location. No offsite disposal of cuttings to another oil and gas location shall occur without prior approval of a Form 4 Sundry Notice specifying disposal location and waste characterization method. Commercial disposal of drill cuttings will also require notification to COGCC via a Form 4 Sundry Notice.
Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to enclosed tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline or open top containment located on the well pad; or into tanker trucks for offsite disposal. No open top tanks can be used for initial flowback fluids containment. The flowback and stimulation fluid tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment must be placed on the well pad in an area constructed to be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. No additional downgradient berming is required if operator constructs a sufficiently sized perimeter berm. |

401402875
10/17/2017 | Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the well site during drilling and completion operations; including, but not limited to, construction of a berm or diversion dike, diversion/collection trenches within and/or outside of berms/dikes, site grading, or other comparable measures to be sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. Any berm reconstructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals as required by CDPHE, and maintained in good condition. The design/build of any perimeter berm shall be sized, constructed, and compacted sufficiently to contain fluids during drilling operations, as well as all fluids contained in temporary frac tanks during completion operations.
The access road will be maintained as to not allow any sediment to migrate from the access road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to surface water.
Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources.
Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (corrugated steel with poly liner) to contain any spilled or released material around permanent condensate and produced water storage tanks.
Since permanent oil, condensate, or produced water storage tanks are not planned to be constructed on location, operator shall submit an as-built drawing that shows how the 3-phase material is collected and leaves the NPR K10-596 Pad, which also provides the distance to Middle Fork, and also provide a schematic diagram showing the MF Production facility with the 3-phase entry point; within 60 calendar days of construction of the production equipment on either or both locations. |

10/17/2017 | In addition to the notifications required by COGCC listed in the Northwest Notification Policy (Notice of Intent to Construct a New Location, Notice of Intent to Spud Surface Casing, and Notice of Intent to Commence Hydraulic Fracturing Operations) and Rule 316C. COGCC Form 42. FIELD OPERATIONS NOTICE (a. Notice of Intent to Conduct Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment and c. Notice of Construction or Major Change); operator shall notify the COGCC 48 hours prior to pipeline testing (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks; permanent buried take away pipelines; and/or any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations) using the Form 42 (as described in Rule 316C.m. Notice of Completion of Form 2/2A Permit Conditions). The appropriate COGCC individuals will automatically be email notified.
Operator will utilize, to the extent practical, all existing pipeline infrastructure for transfer of water for use in the hydraulic stimulation operations at this well pad. If temporary surface pipelines are needed, operator will utilize, to the extent practical, all existing access and other public roads, and/or existing pipeline right-of-ways, when placing/routing the temporary surface pipelines. This will reduce surface disturbance and fragmentation of wildlife habitat in the area. Operator shall submit a Form 4 Sundry Notice showing the proposed route of the temporary surface pipelines prior to placement for informational purposes only. |
