05/22/2017 | Operator shall pressure test pipelines (flowlines from wellhead to the offsite separators and tanks; and any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations) 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, and tested annually, unless agreed to by both parties that the flowlines can be managed under an approved COGCC variance. |

05/22/2017 | The moisture content of water/bentonite based mud (WBM) generated drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts.
Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to enclosed tanks, separators, or other containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline storage vessel, or other open top containment located on the well pad; or into tanker trucks for offsite disposal. No open top tanks can be used for initial flowback fluids containment. 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. No additional downgradient berming is required if operator constructs a sufficiently sized perimeter berm.
Potential odors associated with the completions process and/or with long term production operations must be controlled/mitigated. |

05/22/2017 | Operator must ensure secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at the well site during drilling and completion operations ; including, but not limited to, re-construction of a berm or diversion dike, diversion/collection trenches within and/or outside of berms/dikes, site re-grading, or other comparable measures (i.e., best management practices [BMPs] associated with fluid containment/control as well as stormwater management for the control of run-on and run-off) sufficiently protective of nearby surface water. Any berm re-constructed at the well pad location will be stabilized, inspected at regular intervals as required by CDPHE (at least every 14 days and after precipitation events), and maintained in good condition. The design/build of any perimeter berm shall be sized, constructed, and compacted sufficiently to contain fluids during drilling operations, as well as all fluids contained in temporary frac tanks during completion operations.
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 re-construction, as well as during 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 access road will be 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 encouraging established speed limits on private and BLM roads, to reduce fugitive dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources.
Operator shall submit a scaled as-built drawing (plan view with distances) of this oil and gas location (showing wellhead, pumping jack, onsite flowlines, offsite pipelines) and the nearby production facility location to which the oil and produced water will be sent to via underground pipelines (showing onsite pipelines, separators, oil and produced water storage tanks, and other production facilities) within 30 calendar days of construction of the proposed flowline from this well pad location to the production equipment on the tank battery location. |

05/22/2017 | In addition to the notifications required by COGCC listed in the Northwest Notification Policy (Notice of Intent to Construct a New Location, Notice of Intent to Spud Surface Casing, and Notice of Intent to Commence Hydraulic Fracturing Operations) and Rule 316C. COGCC Form 42. FIELD OPERATIONS NOTICE (a. Notice of Intent to Conduct Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment and c. Notice of Construction or Major Change); operator shall notify the COGCC 48 hours prior to pipeline testing (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks; permanent buried take away pipelines; and/or any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback operations) using the Form 42 (as described in Rule 316C.m. Notice of Completion of Form 2/2A Permit Conditions). The appropriate COGCC individuals will automatically be email notified.
Operator shall provide a Reference Area Map and four (4) color photographs of the Reference Area, taken during the growing season of vegetation and facing each cardinal direction, within twelve (12) months after approval of the Form 2A permit. Each photograph shall be identified by date taken, well or Oil and Gas Location name, and direction of view. |
