400894377
12/17/2015 | 604c.(2).W. Site-Specific Measures: KMG maintains a Storm Water Management
Plan that assesses erosion control for every KMG operated location. This location will
be added to this plan once construction begins. This site will be inspected every
fourteen (14) days during construction activities, every twenty-eight (28) days after
construction is completed, and after any major weather event. |
| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A )
400894377
12/17/2015 | 604c.(2).N. Control of Fire Hazards: KMG and its contractors will employ best
management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and facilities and
will comply with appropriate COGCC rules concerning safety and fire. KMG will
ensure that any material that might be deemed a fire hazard will remain no less than
twenty-five (25) feet from the wellhead(s), tanks and separator(s). |
| Dust control | Form: (02A )
400894377
12/17/2015 | 805.c. Dust: Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed. If
feasible, magnesium chloride will also be used as needed on access roads to further
abate dust. |
| Construction | Form: (02A )
400894377
12/17/2015 | 604c.(2).M. Fencing Requirements: The completed wellsites will be surrounded with a
fence and gate with adequate lock to restrict access to authorized personnel only.
KMG personnel will monitor the wellsites regularly upon completion of the wells.
Authorized representatives and/or KMG personnel shall be on-site during drilling and
completion operations. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02A )
400894377
12/17/2015 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: Sound surveys have been conducted on each rig type and are
utilized to anticipate any additional effective noise mitigation once a drilling rig is
determined.
Pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound mitigation barriers
(straw bales) will be placed along the perimeter of the pad location to damper noise
during drilling and completions to the nearby residences and to Weld County Roads 5
and 23. |

| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A )
400894377
12/17/2015 | 604c.(2).C. Green Completions: Temporary above ground polyethylene water
pipelines will deliver water to location operations from larger trunk lines to reduce truck
traffic and minimize air pollution. Pipeline infrastructure is in place prior to completions
operations to ensure saleable gas, once hydrocarbons are cut, is sent directly to sales
without flaring during flowback. |
