Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A ) 401905163 8/9/2019 | 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.
During active construction, drilling, and completions, with personnel on location, daily inspections will occur.
During non-active, but while under construction, site inspections will occur every 14 days or after major rain events. When construction is completed and the Location is on production, site inspections will occur every 28 days with additional inspections after major rain events.
During construction, stormwater features will be checked more frequently (up to daily, depending on the intensity of construction activity).
These construction checks will not be formally documented, since they occur as part of construction oversight, and minor issues will be corrected with no further documentation. If and when larger issues are noted in these construction checks, the associated corrective actions would be documented and closed out, as required under our approved area-wide permit.
Examples include ditching and berming and installation of sediment catch basins as needed |
