10/22/2014 | Notify the COGCC 48 hours prior to start of pad construction, rig mobilization, spud, pipeline testing, start of hydraulic stimulation operations, and start of flowback operations (if different that stimulation) using Form 42 (the appropriate COGCC individuals will automatically be email notified, including the LGD for hydraulic stimulation operations).
ROAN RIM NTO: Notice to Operators (NTO) Drilling Wells on the Roan Plateau in Garfield County: Operator shall comply with all provisions of the June 12, 2008 Notice to Operators (NTO) Drilling Wells Within ¾ Mile of the Rim of the Roan Plateau in Garfield County – Pit Design, Construction, and Monitoring Requirements. At a minimum, all pits (if constructed) must be lined.
The operator shall submit, and receive approval of, a reuse and recycling plan per Rule 907.a.(3), prior to any offsite reuse/recycling of cuttings. |

10/22/2014 | Operator must ensure 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 after precipitation events), and maintained in good condition.
The access road will be constructed and 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, including enforcing established speed limits on private roads, to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources.
The location is in an area of moderate to high run-on/run-off potential; therefore standard stormwater BMPs must be implemented at this location to insure compliance with CDPHE and COGCC requirements and to prevent any stormwater run-on and /or stormwater run-off.
The nearby hillside must be monitored for any day-lighting of drilling fluids throughout the drilling of the surface casing interval.
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 crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks. |

400697721
10/22/2014 | The moisture content of 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, the drill cuttings that will remain on the well pad location (cuttings management area, the cut portion of the pad, cuttings trench, dry cuttings drilling pit), must meet the applicable standards of Table 910-1. 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 Waste Management Plan (submitted via a Form 4 Sundry Notice) specifying disposal location and waste characterization method. No offsite reuse of cuttings to another oil and gas location shall occur without prior approval of a Beneficial Reuse or Land Application Plan (submitted via a Form 4 Sundry Notice) specifying reuse or application, location, and waste characterization method. Commercial disposal of drill cuttings will only require notification to COGCC via a Form 4 Sundry Notice.
Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline, storage vessel, or lined pit (only if an amended Form 2A has been submitted/approved and a Form 15 Earthen Pit Permitted has been submitted/approved) located on the well pad; or into tanker trucks for offsite disposal. The flowback and stimulation fluid tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment 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.
Potential odors associated with the completions process and/or with long term production operations must be controlled/mitigated. |

10/22/2014 | Operator shall pressure test pipelines 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.
Operator must implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids along all portions of the surface pipeline route where temporary pumps and other necessary equipment are located.
Operator must routinely inspect the entire length of the surface pipeline to ensure integrity. Operator shall conduct daily inspections of surface pipeline routes for leaks during active transfer of fluids. Inspections shall be conducted by viewing the length of the pipeline; operator will endeavor to minimize surface disturbance during pipeline monitoring. The operator shall maintain records of inspections, findings and repairs, if necessary, for the life of the pits.
Operator must ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any potential volume of fluids that may be released from the surface pipeline at all sensitive area crossings, including, but not limited to stream, intermittent stream, ditch, and drainage crossings.
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 surface pipelines. This will reduce surface disturbance and fragmentation of wildlife habitat in the area. |

01/29/2015 | CONSTRUCTION: The following conditions of approval (COAs) will apply:
Operator must submit an as-built drawing (plan view and cross-sections) of the injection well pad and associated equipment within 30 calendar days of construction.
Operator will use qualified containment devices for all appropriate chemicals/hazardous materials and injection equipment (pumps) used onsite during the operation of the injection well.
All tanks and aboveground vessels containing fluids must have secondary containment structures. All secondary containment structures/areas must be lined. Operator must ensure a minimum of 110 percent secondary containment for the largest structure containing fluids within each bermed area at the facility during operations. The construction and lining of the secondary containment structures/areas shall be supervised by a professional engineer or their agent.
Operator shall equip and maintain on all tanks an electronic level monitoring device. |
