10/17/2012 | Noise abatement measures: To the extent economically practicable and technically feasible, operator will minimize nuisance noise through the following measures:
1. Schedule conspicuous noise producing activities to avoid the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. To the extent practicable the operator will avoid tripping pipe, moving heavy equipment, handling drill pipe or casing, and receiving deliveries during nighttime hours.
2. Attempt to conduct hydraulic fracturing operations during daylight hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). If it is necessary to conduct 24 hour hydraulic fracturing operations, the operator shall make a effort to limit the operations to no more than a 72 hour continuous period, and notice will be given to COGCC as soon as practicable prior to the start of 24 hour operations.
3. Construct a temporary buffer using haybales between the neighborhood to the west and the mobile home park to the south to aid in attenuation of noise generated on the location during drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Additional noise mitigation will be contemplated if the measures employed are deemed insufficient. |
