7/13/2020 | Operator consulted with the Briggsdale Fire Protection District and the Weld County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) regarding the proposed facility and emergency response for this location. The site-specific Emergency Action Plan and Tactical Response Plan was submitted as part of the 1041 WOGLA Application and will be approved by Briggsdale Fire and the OEM. |

7/13/2020 | 804. Visual Impacts: All long term facility structures will be painted a color that enables the facilities to blend in with the natural background color of the landscape, as seen from a viewing distance and location typically used by the public. Maintain appearance with garbage clean-up; a trash bin will be located on site to accumulate waste by the personnel drilling the wells. Site will have unused equipment, trash and junk removed immediately when the trash bin is full. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )

7/13/2020 | Implement and maintain BMPs to control stormwater runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation. Co-locate gathering lines to mitigate any erosion problems that arise due to the construction of any pipeline(s).
A sediment trap will be constructed to capture any sediment prior to leaving the location. The sediment trap has been sized in accordance with good engineering practices. A temporary diversion, consisting of a cut swale and compacted earthen berm, will be constructed along the pad edge and routed to the sediment trap to prevent offsite migration of sediment/contaminant into the nearby surface water features. Check dams will be constructed within the swale, as needed, to control flow. |

7/13/2020 | Operator will install an engineered containment system around the tank battery. The containment system is constructed of a perimeter of metal walls that are post driven into the ground around a flexible geotextile base. All components are then sprayed with a polyurea liner technology. This liner technology maintains impermeability and is puncture resistance under exposure to UV rays, weather extremes, and chemicals commonly encountered in oil and natural gas production, and provides seamless protection. The liner is then topped with pea gravel. Secondary containment will be installed around separators and treaters consisting of metal berm walls. The separators and treaters will be set on top of compacted road base. |

7/13/2020 | All flowlines are designed/constructed/tested to ASME B31.4 and API 1104 standards. Only materials with Material Test Reports (MTRs) provided by the pipeline supplier are used in the construction of the flowlines.
Audible, Visual, and Olfactory (AVO) inspections of the facility are conducted daily by the Operator. Any valve or fitting that is found to be ineffective is either repaired immediately or well shut-in procedures are implemented.
Documented Audible, Visual, and Olfactory (AVO) inspections and optical gas imaging surveys are conducted monthly by a third-party specialist.
The location will utilize a SCADA (remote monitoring) system to monitor facility pressures and flows. Sensors are placed on multiple points throughout the facility and are designed to measure the system for irregularities that would indicate a leak in the system or change in production of oil, water, or gas. The SCADA system is designed with alarms that are triggered by irregularities and will activate automatic shut-in of the well and facility.
If a leak is discovered or suspected, the well will be shut in and the line will be hydrotested. If a leak is determined, the well remains shut in while the leak is located and repaired. Not until the line has passed hydrotesting, will the well be brought back online. |

7/13/2020 | Operator has contracted with a third party to bring a gas sales lines to the location to send salable quality gas immediately down the sales line. In the event that a sales line connection is not available upon the completion of flowback, operator will follow the policy per the Notice to Operators “Rule 912 Venting or Flaring Produced Natural Gas”. All salable quality gas shall be directed to the sales line as soon as practicable or shut in and conserved in accordance with Rule 805.b.(3)B.v. |
