RE: Hayward 0993-25-09 Pad
SENE Section 25, Township 9S, Ranch 93W
Mesa County, Colorado
Rule 604.c.2 Mitigation Measures:
A. Noise and Lighting - Noise and Lighting Mitigation Measures for the nearby (842') building unit (seasonal cabin used and owned by the surface owner of the well pad location) will likely not be needed as the building is occupied on an intermittent/seasonal basis by ranch hands to move the cattle. The drilling and completion operations are planned to be completed prior to that time.
B. Closed Loop Drilling Systems – Pit Restrictions: A closed loop system will be used.
C. Green Completions – Emission Control Systems: Green completions will be used.
D. Traffic Plan: The pad access road lies entirely on the surface owner’s property from County Road 71.4; no traffic plan is required by the local jurisdiction.
E. Multi-well Pads: The BCU 13A pad is an existing pad which had been planned to be used as a multi-well pad by two previous operators. Rather than create additional surface disturbance, the existing pad and access road will be utilized to drill 3 wells.
F. Leak Detection Plan: A plan is in place to monitor production facilities on a regular schedule to identify fluid leaks.
H. Blowout preventer equipment (BOPE): A rig with a Kelly will be utilized.
I. BOPE testing for drilling operations: BOPE testing will occur upon initial rig-up and at least once every thirty days during drilling operations.
J. BOPE for well servicing operations: Adequate BOP equipment will be used on all well servicing operations.
K. Pit level indicators: No pit is planned for this location.
M. Fencing requirements: The access road (on the surface owner’s property) will be fenced, gated and locked.
N. Control of fire hazards: Fire hazards will be controlled.
P. Removal of surface trash: Surface trash will be removed.
S. Access roads: The access road is existing and has been constructed to accommodate local
emergency vehicle access requirements and maintained.
T. Well site cleared: Within 90 days after a well is plugged and abandoned, the well site will be cleared of all non-essential equipment, trash, and debris.
U. Identification of plugged and abandoned wells: Plugged and abandoned wells will be identified with a permanent monument, including the well number and date of plugging. |

| General Housekeeping | Form: (04 ) 403312281 3/17/2023 | Protection from Wind Erosion - surface roughening, applying hydro-seed/mulch, using soil tackifier, covering stockpiles with rolled erosion control products or other similar
measures |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (04 ) 403312281 3/17/2023 | Protection from Compaction - topsoil stockpiles will be indicated on site with signage; stockpiles will be placed in areas away from vehicle and equipment traffic; and when
stockpiling, compaction will be minimized by limiting the number of equipment passes, limiting stockpile height, and using vegetation |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (04 ) 403312281 3/17/2023 | Weed Establishment Prevention - mechanical, biological, and chemical controls will be used to prevent the establishment of weeds. |

measures |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (04 ) 403312281 3/17/2023 | Protection from Contamination - based on changes in physical characteristics (e.g., organic content, color, texture, density, or consistency) soil horizons will be segregated
and stockpiled separately; topsoil stockpiles will be separated by compacted earthen berms, sediment control logs, straw bale barriers, etc.; and stabilizing stockpile surfaces
to control for erosion and sedimentation |
