9/8/2017 | Mud control: when conditions exist that roads are excessively muddy, additional fill material will be added in order to dehydrate the environment and reduce the amount of material that is transported from the wells roads and location to off-site areas. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )
401273780
9/8/2017 | Material Handling: Stormwater management plans (SWMP) will be in place to address construction, drilling, and operations associated with CDPHE permits. BMPs for stormwater will be implemented around the perimeter of the pad prior to or during construction and will vary according to the location. These BMPs will remain in place and maintained throughout operations until final reclamation. |

9/8/2017 | Berm Construction: Operator will create secondary containment via construction of a berm around the crude oil and produced water storage tank battery capable of containing 150% of the volume of the largest single tank. The berm will be constructed of materials sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. |

9/8/2017 | Tank Specifications: Tanks will be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with NFPA Code 30 (2008 version). All tanks are visually inspected by the operator weekly at a minimum to a maximum of daily and annual SPCC inspections will be conducted and documented. Inspection and record retention of tank inspections will be in accordance per SPCC regulation. All records will be made available to the COGCC upon to request. |

9/8/2017 | Location will be graded to divert surface runoff away from surface water features. Operator will create tertiary containment by construction of a berm, diversion ditch, sediment trap or comparable measures sufficient to direct stormwater away from the Denver Hudson Canal and ditches to the west. |
| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
401273780
9/8/2017 | Test separators and associated flow lines and sand traps shall be installed on-site to accommodate Green completions techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules. The flow-back gas shall be thermally oxidized in an emissions control device (ECD), which will be installed and kept in operable condition for least the first 90-days of production pursuant to CDPHE rules. This ECD shall have an adequate capacity for 1.5 times the largest flow-back within a 10-mile radius, will be flanged to route gas to other or permanent oxidizing equipment and shall be provided with the equipment needed to maintain combustion where noncombustible gases are present. |
| Odor mitigation | Form: (02A )
401273780
9/8/2017 | Hydrocarbon odors from production facilities are minimized and eliminated by keeping produced fluid hydrocarbons and natural gas contained within pipes, separators, tanks, and combustors. All tanks will be sealed with thief hatches and gaskets. Tank vapors are captured with properly sized piping and combustors. |

9/8/2017 | Verdad plans to use a Modular Large Volume Tank (MLVT). The planned tank is a 36K BBL tank approximately 148’ in diameter. The MLVT is manufactured by Big Holdings and will be supplied and set up by a third-party vendor. Verdad will follow the COGCC guidance policy dated June 13, 2014 on the use of MLVTs. The MLVT will be on site for approximately 30 days during completion operations. |
