01/08/2010 | Location may be in a sensitive area due to shallow groundwater; therefore drilling pits must be lined or a closed loop system must be used. |

03/22/2011 | GENERAL SITE COAs:
Operator must implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids, including any fluids conveyed via temporary surface pipelines.
Reserve pit, or any other pit used to contain/hold fluids, if constructed, must be lined or a closed loop system (as indicated on the Form 2A Permit application by operator in Section 6. Construction) must be implemented during drilling.
Operator must ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at 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 (i.e., best management practices (BMPs) associated with stormwater management) sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. Any berm constructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals (at least every 14 days), and maintained in good condition.
The moisture content of any drill cuttings in a cuttings pit, trench, or pile shall be as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. At the time of closure, the drill cuttings must also meet the applicable standards of table 910-1.
No portion of any pit that will be used to hold liquids shall be constructed on fill material, unless the pit and fill slope are designed and certified by a professional engineer, subject to review and approval by the director prior to construction of the pit. The construction and lining of the pit shall be supervised by a professional engineer or their agent. The entire base of the pit must be in cut.
Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to tanks to allow the sand to settle out before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline or pit located on the well pad. The flowback and stimulation fluid tanks must be placed on the well pad in an area with additional downgradient perimeter berming. The area where flowback fluids will be stored/reused must be constructed to be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material (per Rule 604.a.(4)).
Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed in compliance with Rule 604.a.(4) around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks.
