COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results
TypeSource DocumentConditions of Approval
OGLAForm: (02A )
400730168
3/19/2015		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.
OGLAForm: (02A )
400730168
3/19/2015		Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at well site during drilling and completion operations (as shown on the Construction Layout Drawings, facility Layout Drawing, and Location Drawing); 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; prior to, during, and after construction, as well as during drilling, completion, and production operations; 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.
OGLAForm: (02A )
400730168
3/19/2015		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. 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 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.

Storm Water/Erosion ControlForm: (02A )
400730168
5/1/2015		• Run-on protection and run-off controls will be installed prior to the beginning of construction activities, as practicable, with consideration given to worker safety and site access. Additional structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) will likely need to be installed during and following construction. • No stormwater run-off will be discharged to the Colorado River.
ConstructionForm: (02A )
400730168
5/1/2015		• Stockpiles for topsoil, excess cut material, and drill cuttings will be located in work areas within perimeter BMPs. • Stormwater BMPs will be installed per details in the Stormwater BMP manual. • Disturbed area of site will be left in a surface roughened condition when feasible. • BMPs will be protected, inspected and repaired as necessary. • Dust mitigation practices will be utilized. • 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. • Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (corrugated steel with synthetic liner) to contain any spilled or released material around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks.
Drilling/Completion OperationsForm: (02A )
400730168
5/1/2015		• Topsoil will be stockpiled as appropriate to maintain microbial viability. • Run-off from the facility will be controlled per Stormwater Management Plan. • Pooled water will be treated for mosquitoes to minimize the spread of the West Nile virus. • Caerus will 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.
Interim ReclamationForm: (02A )
400730168
5/1/2015		• Top soil, where present, will be segregated from deeper soils and replaced as top soil on the final grade, a process known as live topsoil handling. • In all cases, temporary disturbance will be kept to an absolute minimum. • Equipment and materials handling will be done on established sites to reduce area and extent of soil compaction. • Disturbances will be reseeded as soon as practical with the recommended mix in the re-vegetation section. • Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with non-invasive sterile hybrid grasses, if stored longer than one growing season. • Prior to delivery to the site, equipment will be cleaned of soils remaining from previous construction sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds. • If working in sites with weed-seed contaminated soil, equipment will be cleaned of potentially seed-bearing soils and vegetative debris prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain.
Final ReclamationForm: (02A )
400730168
5/1/2015		• BMPs installed during previous phases will be maintained and repaired as necessary. • Surface will be stabilized with gravel when feasible • BMPs will be inspected. • Seeding and mulching or the installation of erosion control blankets will take place where applicable. • All non-biodegradable temporary BMPs will be removed when applicable. • Dust mitigation practices will be utilized.
