SITE SPECIFIC STIPULATIONS
The following measures are required by the BLM:
Soils and Water Resources
• Pre -construction inspections shall include on -the -ground review of installed pre -
construction storm water BMPs and limit -of -disturbance staking.
• Exposed rock outcrops present in pipeline corridors or on proposed well pad locations
shall be removed intact, as possible (salvaging large pieces from the outcrop), and
replaced on the ground surface at the margins of the corridor and/or as close to the
original location as practical, to be redistributed as part of reclamation. Equipment
bridges and mats shall be used where soils are saturated, to minimize compaction of soils
and subsequent stream bank erosion.
• A copy of the SPCC Plan shall be provided to the BLM prior to construction.
• If hydrostatic test water or trench dewatering water is discharged, it shall be discharged to
an upland area at least 150 feet from WoUS and wetlands, to infiltrate into the ground
without causing erosion. BLM approval of the discharge location and proposed BMPs
shall be obtained before discharging hydrostatic test water to an upland area.
• Pipeline construction across ephemeral and intermittent drainages shall occur when no
flowing water is present.
• Emergency spill response equipment shall be stored and staged at strategic locations along
perennial water courses, to expedite effective spill response.
• Avoid locating staging, refueling and storage areas within 300 feet of any natural
perennial or seasonally flowing stream, wetland, reservoir, or lake.
• Avoid low water crossings. Structures for perennial or intermittent stream channel
crossings shall be engineered using bridges or appropriately sized culverts.
• Pipelines that cross perennial, intermittent and ephemeral stream channels shall be
constructed to withstand floods of extreme magnitude, to prevent rupture and accidental
contamination of runoff. Closely follow methods and analysis outlined in BLM technical
note 423 -Hydraulic Considerations for Pipelines Crossing Stream Channels, to prevent
undesirable events.
Noise
• Construction shall occur during daylight hours, when there is less sensitivity to sound.
• All equipment shall have sound control devices no less effective than those provided by
the manufacturer. All equipment shall have muffled exhausts.
• Trucks shall not use engine brakes on BLM roads.
Invasive Non -Native Species
Areas requiring monitors shall include activities within 100 meters of Colorado hookless
cactus plants and within 200 meters of DeBeque phacelia suitable habitat.
• Selected sites with Colorado hookless cactus and/or DeBeque phacelia shall be monitored
within varying distances of disturbance every 5 years throughout the life of the project, or
at other recommended frequency as determined by monitoring results, to determine long-
term effects on special status plants/habitat, effectiveness of conservation measures, and
to develop adaptive conservation measures.
o Site selection and monitoring shall be coordinated with the FWS.
o Sample plots shall be photographed 1) prior to disturbance, 2) every 5 years after
disturbance and 3) at the end of the proposed project (estimated to be 20 years).
o Plants at each site shall be counted, if present; health and status of the plants and
habitat shall be documented.
o A monitoring report shall be submitted to the BLM and the FWS by December 1
of each monitoring year.
Colorado Hookless Cactus
• No individuals shall be directly affected by project activities.
• Well pads, centralized facilities, and new roads shall all be kept further than 20 meters
from individual hookless cacti.
• In areas where listed plants occur, buried pipelines shall be co -located with existing roads
or existing pipeline corridors. This minimizes fragmentation of undisturbed habitats, but
. could lead to the burial of a pipeline nearer to plants than 20 meters.
In this situation, the pipeline shall be buried on the far side of the existing disturbance
from the hookless cactus to maximize its distance from the pipeline disturbance. As a
result, new disturbance will not be closer to hookless cactus than existing disturbance
(e.g., existing access roads and/or pipeline corridors).
• No surface -disturbing activities shall occur within 100 meters of Colorado hookless
cactus plants during the cactus flowering season (April through May), to minimize
indirect effects (dust, etc.) to pollinators and cactus reproduction.
• Silt barriers and fugitive dust control measures (watering roads/surface disturbance; no
additives) shall be implemented, to minimize effects to cactus within 100 meters of
existing disturbances (see Maps 1 through 6).
• Temporary fencing near occupied habitats shall be installed prior to any disturbance, to
prevent trampling by workers or equipment. Fencing shall be removed immediately after
activities are complete.
• The required project SWMP shall include implementation, monitoring and maintenance
of site-specific BMPs, such as straw wattles, to minimize or avoid alteration of
hydrologic conditions when project activities are located within 20 meters of documented
hookless cactus plants.
• Herbicides shall not be used to control weeds within 100 meters of Colorado hookless
cactus plants unless approved by BLM. Noxious weeds closer to Colorado hookless
cactus plants shall be removed by hand prior to soil disturbance, to reduce
reestablishment and potential re -distribution of weed seed and/or propagules. Prior to
• Herbicides shall not be used to control weeds within 200 meters of DeBeque phacelia
suitable habitat unless approved by the BLM. Noxious weeds closer than 200 meters to
such habitat shall be removed by hand prior to soil disturbance, to reduce reestablishment
and potential re -distribution of weed seed and/or propagules. Prior to weed control,
operator shall consult with the BLM on a site-specific basis. Areas where weed treatment
may be restricted are shown on Maps 1 through 6.
• DeBeque phacelia habitats within 100 meters of project activities shall be monitored
annually for a minimum of 3 years after ground -disturbing activities. Additionally, select
sites shall be monitored every 5 years throughout the life of the project (estimated to be
20 years) to determine long-term effects, if any, on DeBeque phacelia survival and
recruitment, and habitat suitability, near the project. Monitoring of DeBeque phacelia
habitats within 100 meters of project activities may be necessary within the areas
identified on Maps 1 through 6 as "Restricted Weed Treatment/Dust Abatement."
Monitoring results shall be provided to both BLM and the FWS.
Wildlife
• All equipment used within drainages, which could transfer materials from one waterway
to another, shall be sanitized per CPW protocols, including water extraction equipment.
• As part of the Bear Aware program, all project personnel shall review the CPW
publication "Living with Bears"
http://wildlife.state.co.us/WildlifeSpecies/LivingWithW ildlife/Mammals/Pages/LivingW i
thBears.aspx), developed as part of the Bear Aware program.
• Project staff shall report poaching incidents to Operation Game Thief.
• Workers shall carpool to drilling locations from December thru April.
Cultural Resources, Tribal and Native American Religious Concerns
• A contracted archaeologist from a permitted cultural resource firm approved by the GJFO
archaeologist shall monitor known sites during any and all construction activity within
100 yards, to prevent direct impacts to sites. Known sites along the pipeline route include
5GF4762 and 5GF4765. 5GF4765 shall also be fenced during construction and
monitoring.
Wastes
• If a reportable spill occurs, immediately contact the BLM, CDPHE Water Quality
Control Division and CPW.
• Spill station locations shall be established and placed in strategic locations.
Recreation
• Warning signs shall be posted on project area roads to alert recreationists and project
personnel to each other's presence and to help avoid accidents.
• Construction timing shall be coordinated with area outfitters and landowners, to avoid
conflicts with users of dispersed recreation sites and to mitigate impacts to them.
Range Management
• Planned activities shall be coordinated with affected grazing permit holders.

COC 76368
COC 76368-01
EXHIBIT 3
Standard Stipulations
1. Administrative Notification & Requirements. The operator will notify the BLM representative at Least
48 hours prior to initiation of construction or reclamation activities. A pre -construction meeting may
be scheduled to review all conditions and or stipulations with the operator. Complete copies of all
applicable permits, will be kept on site during construction and drilling activities. All on-site
personnel will review the approved permit with the COAs before working on the project.
2. Fire. The operator will implement measures to prevent fires on public and private land and be
responsible for the costs of suppressing fires on public lands that result from the actions of its
employees, contractors, or subcontractors. Range or forest fires caused or observed by such personnel
will be immediately reported to the BLM Grand Junction Dispatch at 970-257-4800. All fires or
explosions that cause loss of oil or gas, damage to property or equipment, or injuries to personnel will
immediately be reported to the BLM Grand Junction Field Office at 970-244-3000. During conditions
of extreme fire danger, surface -use operations may be restricted or suspended in specific areas.
Additional measures could be required by the BLM.
The BLM may require adaptive management techniques to minimize fire hazards/risks.
3. Other Permits. BLM authorization is contingent upon receipt of and compliance with all applicable
federal, state, county, municipal and local permits, including all necessary environmental clearances
and permits (Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), U.S. Fish & Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Department of
Transportation, Colorado Department of Health & Environment, County Oil and Gas liaisons, County
Health and Road Departments, municipalities, etc.).
4. Existing Uses. The operator will obtain agreements allowing construction and maintenance with all
existing right-of-way holders, authorized users, and pipeline operators prior to surface disturbance or
construction of the location or access across or adjacent to any existing or approved rights-of-way or
pipelines. In the case of privately owned surface, the operator will certify to BLM that a Surface Use
Agreement has been reached with the private surface owners prior to commencing construction and
that the owner has been provided a copy of the Surface Use Plan of Operations (SUPO) that is part of
a Federal APD. If Agreement cannot be reached, the operator will comply with provisions of the law
or regulations governing the Federal right of re-entry to the surface (43 CFR 3814).
5. Migratory Bird Act. New surface disturbance, especially vegetation removal, will not be allowed
between May 15 and July 15, to prevent potential taking of migratory birds and/or eggs, unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Grand Junction Field Manager. If surface disturbance is
proposed during this period, a written request for exception and a migratory bird survey will be
submitted for approval prior to any surface disturbance. If vegetation removal is accomplished prior
to May 15, exception may be granted to allow project activities to proceed during the closure period.
Permanent caps will be placed on or fill placed in any open metal or plastic pipe or post to prevent
entrapment of birds.
6. Federally Protected Species Notifications. If the operator discovers a dead or injured federally
EXHIBIT 3

COC 76368-01
determined by the Authorized Officer after consulting with the operator. Within 10 days, the
operator will be allowed to continue construction through the site, or will be given the choice of
either (1) following the Authorized Officer's instructions for stabilizing the fossil resource in
place and avoiding further disturbance to the fossil resource, or (2) following the Authorized
Officer's instructions for mitigating impacts to the fossil resource prior to continuing construction
through the project area.
d) If human remains are discovered on private or state land associated with this authorization, the
BLM will notify the State of Colorado Archaeologist immediately, who will comply with
Colorado Revised Statutes (Appendix) regarding the discovery of human remains (24-80-1302).
e) In a new discovery situation, the operator may relocate activities to avoid the expense of
mitigation and delays associated with this process, as long as the new area has been appropriately
inventoried and has no resource concerns, and the exposed materials are recorded and stabilized.
Otherwise, the operator will be responsible for mitigation costs. The BLM authorized officer will
provide technical and procedural guidelines for relocation and/or to conduct mitigation. Upon
verification from the BLM authorized officer that the required mitigation has been completed, the
operator will be allowed to resume construction.
10. Big Game Winter Range Timing Limitation. Where winter range areas identified by BLM are not
protected by lease stipulations, an annual Timing Limitation (TL) period will apply from January 1 to
March 1, to minimize impacts to wintering big game. All construction, drilling, completion, work-
overs and other intensive activities are excluded during the 60 -day period. Requests for exceptions to
Timing Limitations will be submitted in writing to the BLM via a Sundry Notice.
11. Range Management. Damage to range improvements (fences, gates, reservoirs, pipelines, etc.) will be
avoided, but if they are damaged, the operator will immediately repair or replace them. Where an
access road bisects an existing livestock fence, a steel frame gate or a cattle -guard with a bypass gate
will be installed across the roadway.
12. Soils. Cuts and fills will be minimized when working on erosive soils and on slopes in excess of 30
percent. Cut -and -fill slopes will be stabilized through revegetation practices with an approved seed
mix shortly following construction activities, to minimize the potential for slope failures, erosion and
soil loss. Fill slopes adjacent to drainages will be protected with BMPs designed to minimize
sediment transport. On slopes greater than 50 percent, BLM may require a professional geotechnical
analysis and/or engineered plans prior to construction.
13. Weed Control. Before any mobilization of equipment onto public lands, to prevent the spread of
invasive species, the operator will perform inspections to insure that all construction equipment and
vehicles are clean and free of soil, mud and vegetative material. Avoid driving through or parking on
weed infestations.
14. Dust Abatement. The operator will prevent and abate fugitive dust as needed, whether created by
vehicular traffic, equipment operations or wind events. If dust abatement is insufficient, the BLM
may direct the operator to change the level and type of treatment. BLM approval is required before
application of surfactants, binding agents, or other dust -suppression chemicals on federally permitted
projects and on public lands. More stringent dust control may be required in areas adjacent to Federal -
or State -listed threatened, endangered, or sensitive plant species.
EXHIBIT 3
COC 76368
COC 76368-01
standards (pp. 24-28). Water outlets such as turn -outs and culverts, will incorporate BMPs like rip -
rap, sediment catchments and anchored check structures which slow water velocity, to prevent
erosion and sediment transport. If applicable, initial gravel application will be to a minimum depth of
4 inches.
When saturated soil conditions exist on access roads or location, or rutting deepens to 3 inches,
construction and travel will be halted until soil material dries out, is frozen sufficiently or is otherwise
brought to standards appropriate for resource protection and road construction. Use will not proceed
under conditions of undue damage and erosion to soils, roads and/or locations. All drainage ditches
and culverts will be kept clear and free flowing, and be maintained in good condition.
Where roads are located near drainages, vegetated buffer strips will be left between areas of
disturbance and drainages. (See Drainage Crossings and Culverts.)
The operator will provide timely maintenance of roads. A regular schedule for maintenance will
include, but not be limited to dust abatement, reconstruction of the crown, slope, or water dips/bars;
blading or resurfacing; clean-out of ditches, culverts, catchments and other BMPs. When rutting of
the travel -way deepens to 3 inches, maintenance or upgrade will be conducted as approved by BLM.
Roads that access active construction and drilling sites will be posted with warning signs to alert
hunters and recreational vehicle users that project personnel and vehicles are in the area. Project
personnel will restrict activities and travel to permitted roads and sites.
Operator will install speed control measures on project -related unpaved roads.
Ditches may be revegetated and/or include large rocks or other BMPs, to slow drainage velocity and
settle sediment. Ditch seeding and revegetation may be required in erodible soils.
All cut and fill slopes for roads (and well pads and related locations) will be protected against rilling
and erosion with BMPs such as soil texturing and seeding or additional measures approved by the
BLM. Measures may include geotextiles, weed -free straw crimping/ bales/ wattles/ matting, as
needed or as detailed by storm water plan or BLM permit. BMPs will be monitored and maintained in
functional condition.
20. Visual Resource Protection. Pads, roads, pipelines and production facilities will be located and placed
to avoid or minimize visibility from travel corridors, residential areas and other sensitive observation
points—unless directed otherwise by the BLM—and will be designed to maximize reshaping of
cut/fill slopes and interim reclamation of the pad.
To the extent practical, existing vegetation will be preserved when clearing and grading for pads,
roads, and pipelines. Tree or shrub removal may be required by cutting or by shredding to provide
slope stability or leave root systems in place. BLM may direct that cleared trees and rocks be
salvaged and redistributed over reshaped cut -and -fill slopes or along linear features.
To mitigate straight-line visual contrast effects of cut/ fill slopes, pad margins or cleared vegetation,
adaptive management techniques may be required by the BLM before or after construction. Example:
Additional tree removal along contrasting edges, to create irregularly shaped openings or natural -
looking mosaic patterns; texturing or coloring surfaces to mitigate visual contrasts.
To blend with the natural environment, all permanent above -ground facilities placed on the location
will be painted a natural color to blend with the background landscape, in a non -reflective finish. A

All secondary containment systems will be designed, constructed, and maintained to prevent wildlife
and livestock exposure to harmful substances. The operator will install effective wildlife and
livestock exclosure systems like fencing, netting, expanded metal mesh, lids and grate covers.
23. Pipelines. Buried pipelines will have a minimum cover of 48 inches in a roadway and at road
crossings, 36 inches through typical soil and rock, and 24 inches in areas requiring rock blasting. The
permit holder is responsible for burying a pipeline to a depth that safely accommodates existing land
and road uses and maintenance activities.
(\ Buried pipelines will be reclaimed to final reclamation at the time of installation.
Pipeline warning signs permanently marked with the operator's and owner's names (emergency
contacts) and purpose (product) of the pipeline will be installed within five days of construction
completion and prior to use of the pipeline. Pipeline warning signs are required at all road crossings
and along the alignment, visible from sign to sign.
Pipelines installed beneath stream crossings will be buried to a minimum depth of 4 feet below the
channel substrate, to avoid pipeline exposure by channel scour and degradation. Following pipeline
burial, the channel grade and substrate composition will be returned to pre -construction conditions.
All pipeline welds within 100 feet of a perennial stream will be x-rayed to prevent leakage. Where
pipelines cross streams that support Federal- or State -listed threatened or endangered species or other
sensitive species, the BLM may require additional safeguards, including double -walled pipe, and
remotely -actuated block or check valves on both sides of the stream.
24. Well Drilling, Testing, and Completion (Pits). Substances specifically listed as hazardous waste or
demonstrating character of a hazardous waste (40 CFR 261) will not be used in drilling, testing, or
completion operations, nor introduced at any time into the reserve or cuttings pit.
The operator will minimize or preclude releases of hydrocarbons into open pits. Unless the authorized
officer approves the release, no oil shall go into a pit except in an emergency. The operator shall
remove any hydrocarbons (oil, condensate, paraffin, diesel, etc.) introduced a pit within 24 hours of
discovery.
Fluids will be confined to pits or tanks during air drilling, flaring or fracturing operations. Flare or
blooey lines will be directed into a pit and against a bank to prevent dispersion of materials or flame.
Any blooey line will be misted to prevent dispersion of materials.
All pits that may contain liquid material will be lined to prevent seepage into the ground. The pit liner
will be maintained in good working condition, with no tears or holes, until the pit is closed.
Pits will be constructed to preclude the accumulation of precipitation runoff and maintain a minimum
of 2 feet of freeboard between the maximum fluid level and the lowest point of containment. If pit
fluids threaten to rise to a level above that, the operator will immediately prevent introduction of
additional fluids until sufficient pit capacity has been restored through fluid removal or will install an
alternative approved containment method.
The operator will prevent wildlife and livestock access (including avian wildlife) to fluids pits that
contain or have the potential to contain salinity sufficient to harm wildlife or livestock, to contain
hydrocarbons, surfactants, or Resource Conservation and Recovery Act -exempt hazardous
substances.

be imposed. "Wildlife friendly" conditions are intended to prevent wildlife loss and potential legal
consequences.
Pits will be dry prior to soil testing and backfilling and closed per COGCC standards. Before
backfilling, impervious pit liner will be removed and disposed of properly. Liquids and solids
collected on/in the liners will not be allowed to come into contact with the pad surface, parent soil or
any other earthen layers during site cleanup. Liners will be properly cleaned prior to removal or
removed in such a manner that liquids/solids do not escape. Liners may be washed off into lined
ditches, lined sumps or into the lined cellar and then pumped to the lined sumps prior to being
removed. At the time of backfilling, all muds and associated solids will be confined to the pit, with
none squeezed out or incorporated into surface materials. A minimum of 4 feet of cover (overburden)
is required above any muds or solids. When work is complete, the pit area must support the weight of
heavy equipment without subsidence.
25. Production. Production facilities will be located and arranged to facilitate safety and minimize long-
term surface disturbance. Typically, they will be clustered at the access end of the pad with tanks in
cut. Access to facilities shall be provided by a teardrop -shaped road through the production area, so
that the driving area may be clearly defined and limited so that teardrop center may be revegetated.
To blend with the natural environment, all permanent above -ground facilities placed on the location
will be painted a natural color that blends with the background landscape, in a non -reflective finish. A
BLM Standard Environmental Color may be specified.
26. Interim Reclamation of Producing Wells.
a. Deadlines and Objectives. (Deadlines are subject to extension on a case-by-case basis, following
application in writing to the BLM.)
Within 30 days of completion of pad construction, topsoil storage berms, storm water control
features, temporarily disturbed areas along roads and pipelines, and cut and fill slopes will
undergo temporary seeding to stabilize materials, maintain biotic soil activities, and minimize
weed infestations.
Within 6 months following completion of the last well planned on a pad, or after a year has
passed with no new wells drilled, interim reclamation (IR) will be completed to reduce the well
pad to the smallest size needed for production. IR will include earthwork, seeding and BMPs.
Interim reclamation will restore landforms; reestablish/maintain biologically active topsoil,
including vegetative cover; control erosion and sediment transport; and minimize losses of
habitat, visual resources, and forage throughout the life of the well.
Prior to interim reclamation, the operator will meet with BLM to inspect the disturbed area, to
review the existing reclamation plan and agree upon any revisions to the plan.
Seed tags will be submitted for BLM approval at least 14 days before proposed seeding date.
Notify the BLM at least 48 hours prior to beginning any reclamation work.
Weed -free certification, seed tags, and a Subsequent Report Sundry Notice describing the
reclamation will be submitted to the Grand Junction Field Office within 30 days of seeding.
IR performance standards will be considered met when disturbed areas not needed for long-term
g•
EXHIBIT 3

COC 76368-01
in areas with high erosion potential, additional revegetation, BMPs or methods may be required,
to reduce soil erosion and offsite transport of sediments.
Fencing and Site Protection. The pad will be fenced to BLM standards to exclude grazing
livestock for the first two growing seasons or until seeded species are firmly established,
whichever comes later. The BLM will approve the type of fencing.
In deer and elk habitat, fences for livestock exclusion will not exceed 40 inches. The four -strand
fence will have smooth top and bottom wires. Distance from the ground to the bottom smooth
wire will be no less than 16 inches. Distance from the top wire to the second wire will be no less
than 12 inches. Middle wires will be barbed, with 6 inch spacing.
Monitoring. The operator will regularly monitor, for reclamation success and for invasive
species, all sites categorized as "operator reclamation in progress" and will submit an annual
monitoring report of these sites to the BLM by December 1 of each year. The annual report will
document whether attainment of reclamation objectives appears likely. If objectives appear
unlikely to be achieved, the report will identify appropriate corrective actions. Upon review and
approval of the report by the BLM, the operator will be responsible for implementing approved
or specified measures.
27. Final Reclamation. The long-term objective of final reclamation is to return the land, following use
for energy development, to a condition approximating that which existed prior to disturbance. This
includes restoration of the landform and natural vegetative community, hydrologic systems, visual
resources, and wildlife habitats.
A well pad that no longer has a producing well will undergo final reclamation within no more than 1
year following plugging and abandonment of the final well on that pad. Buried pipelines will be
reclaimed to final reclamation standards at the time of installation.
Prior to final reclamation of a well pad or pipeline, the operator will meet with BLM to inspect the
disturbed area, review the existing reclamation plan, and agree to any changes to the plan.
The BLM will be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencing any reclamation work and within 48
hours of completion of reclamation work.
Prior to recontouring and reseeding the pad, the operator will complete the following:
• All equipment, facilities, and trash will be removed from the location.
• Each borehole will be plugged and capped, and its related surface equipment removed.
• Subsurface pipelines will be purged and plugged at specific intervals.
• Dry hole markers will be subsurface, to prevent their use as perching sites by raptors.
Recontouring for final reclamation will consist of returning the pad, material storage piles, cut -and -
fill slopes, and storm water control features to natural contours that blend with adjacent undisturbed
areas, as specified in the final reclamation plan or final reclamation plat approved by BLM.
Requirements for seedbed preparation, soil amendments, seed, seeding procedures, mulching, erosion
control, fencing, site security, and monitoring will be as specified for interim reclamation.

Project Design Features (from DeBeque Exploratory Proposal)
General
• Proponent will comply will the BLM Standard Conditions of Approval for Oil and Gas.
Air Quality
• All drilling rig engines will be Tier 2 compliant, reducing emissions.
• Drilling and completion will carpool to well locations reducing traffic and thereby reducing
fugitive dust emissions.
• Proponent will control fugitive dust on the access roads and within disturbed surfaces
during construction. Speed limits will be enforced from the beginning of construction
throughout the life of the project, and where speed limits are not posted on unpaved
access roads, speeds will not exceed 20 miles per hour.
Mineral Resources
• Drilling operations will be conducted in compliance with all Federal Onshore Oil and Gas
Orders and other applicable rules and regulations.
• The proposed casing and cementing program will be designed to protect and/or isolate
all usable water zones, potentially productive zones, lost circulation zones, abnormally
pressured zones and prospectively valuable deposits of Cameo coal.
Soils
• Proponent will implement measures included in the Stormwater Management Plan
(SWMP) including Best Management Practices (BMPs) including run-on/run-off controls,
such as swales, ditches or berms, sediment catchments and anchored barriers such as
erosion blankets or straw wattles to minimize erosion and the potential increase in
sediment transport.
Water Resources
• Drilling will use a closed loop drilling system. Drilling fluids will be transferred to tanks
and hauled off site to an approved disposal facility. Cuttings will be disposed of on-site in
accordance with BLM and COGCC regulations. The fluids pit will initially contain fresh
water used for drilling and completion and be continually refilled with fresh water as
needed. During well completion, flowback water from hydraulic fracturing operations will
be introduced and held in the fluids pit. Before introduction into the pit, the flowback
water will undergo a separation process to remove hydrocarbons. No oil will be expected
to be in the fluids pit. Concentrations of solids in the pit fluids will increase as pit water
evaporated. The fluids pit will be double lined, both liners will have a minimum thickness
of 24 mil and will be installed in accordance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (COGCC) rules.
• Surface casing will be installed to a minimum depth of 100 feet deeper than any
freshwater aquifer located within one -mile of the well. The borehole will be cased with
EXHIBIT 4
COC 76368
COC 76368-01
• No well pads or centralized facilities will be constructed within 100 meters of suitable or
potentially suitable DeBeque phacelia habitat, or within 20 meters of documented
Colorado hookless cactus plants, unless existing disturbance is closer to the
documented plants or habitat. When feasible, well pads and/or centralized facilities will
be placed further than 20 meters from BLM-sensitive plants.
• Pipeline corridors will be constructed adjacent to existing disturbance (roads or existing
pipeline corridors) where feasible, or collocated with new proposed access roads.
• Pipeline corridors and new access roads will be constructed further than 100 meters
from suitable or potentially suitable DeBeque phacelia habitat, or further than 20 meters
from documented Colorado hookless cactus plants and BLM-sensitive plants, if feasible.
In situations that this scenario is not possible for pipeline corridors, Proponent will
minimize effects to special status plants to the extent practicable by reducing the
construction corridor width, constructing the pipelines on the opposite side of existing
disturbance if special status plants are not present, or constructing the pipelines within
an existing road if special status plants are present on both sides of the road.
• Construction will occur outside of the special status plant flowering season and spatial
buffers, identified below:
o No construction within 200 meters of DeBeque phacelia suitable or potentially
suitable habitat between April and late June.
o No construction within 100 meters of Colorado hookless cactus plants between
April and late May.
o No construction within 100 meters of Naturita milkvetch plants between April and
early June.
• Orange fencing will be erected along well pad, centralized facility, pipeline, and access
road construction disturbance extents within 20 meters of known Colorado hookless
cactus and BLM-sensitive plant species and within 100 meters of suitable or potentially
suitable DeBeque phacelia habitat to ensure construction traffic and workers will not
accidentally crush plants.
• Surface pipelines will be securely fastened so that the pipeline does not migrate into
suitable or potentially suitable DeBeque phacelia habitat, or known special status plant
sites. Surface pipelines will be monitored daily.
• During construction, Proponent will water (no additives) existing gravel/dirt roads,
pipeline construction corridors, well pads, and/or centralized facilities within 100 meters
on either side of known special status plants (200 meters within DeBeque phacelia
suitable or potentially suitable habitat) to reduce possible dust deposition. Water will be
obtained from an approved water source.
• Straw bale wattles, silt fences, or other measures will be installed on the edge of
proposed ground-disturbance and existing access roads if proposed disturbance is
within 20 meters of documented Colorado hookless cactus and/or BLM-sensitive plants,
and/or 100 meters of suitable or potentially suitable DeBeque phacelia habitat to reduce
the potential for altering hydrology/habitat.
• A biological monitor will be present on-site during all ground-disturbing activities,
including installation of BMPs (conservation measures) and reclamation activities to
ensure effects to special status plants are minimized as much as possible. Areas
requiring a biological monitor will be determined in conjunction with the BLM.
EXHIBIT 4
COC 76368
COC 76368-01
• Measures described in the SWMP and SPCC will be followed to minimize the potential
for spills of fuel and/or other hazardous materials to reach drainages.
• Remote telemetry will be used for all well locations during operations. Initially, regular
visits (daily) are necessary but once the well has been in production for some period of
time, the daily trips can be reduced to a single weekly or monthly visit.
• Bear -resistant containers will be used and refuse will be collected frequently to minimize
potential for conflicts with bears.
• A flume crossing technique (dry open -cut) will be used when water is present in
drainages to maintain water flow, minimize changes in waterbody flow characteristics,
and eliminate a significant quantity of downstream turbidity and sedimentation.
• Native stream -bed materials will be used for trench backfill.
• Application of herbicides will be avoided within 100 feet of wetlands and floodplains.
Transportation
• A produced water gathering system will be installed, reducing heavy truck traffic.
• Existing roads will be used to the maximum extent possible and gathering pipelines will
be placed adjacent to both existing and new roads to minimize disturbance.
• Workers will carpool to drilling locations when feasible.
• Remote telemetry will be used for well locations during operations wherever
topographically feasible.
• Disposal wells within the project area will be used for injection of produced water,
reducing the need for heavy truck traffic hauling produced water outside of the project
area.
• A water supply delivery system will be developed as part of the Proposed Action which
could reduce the number of heavy truck trips delivering water from outside the project
area.
• Proponent employees and contractors will follow all posted speed limits. Where no
speed limit is posted, speeds on unpaved access roads or disturbed areas will not
exceed 20 miles per hour to reduce dust.
Wastes
• Proponent will implement SWMPs, BMPs, and the SPCC Plan.
Bear -resistant containers will be used and refuse will be collected frequently to minimize
potential for conflicts with bear

(Class B and Class C weeds were documented within 100 feet of the proposed
project on BLM-administered lands.
o All equipment used at previous construction sites, or within sites with weed seed
contaminated soil will be power -washed to remove mud, weed seeds and
propagules before entering the construction area and/or moving to
uncontaminated terrain. All maintenance vehicles will be regularly cleaned of soil.
• Treatment strategies for weedy species documented will consider effective methods and
timing for preventing seed production of that species and could include hand/machine
pulling, cutting roots just below soil level, treatment with herbicides, or mowing, as
directed by the BLM.
• Surface disturbances will be reseeded at the appropriate time and with a palatable,
native species desirable to wildlife including shrubs, grasses and forbs seed mixture as

available habitat in the project area, the effects of displacement would be minimal. Increased
vehicle traffic would not likely result in any major decline in reptile populations in the project
area.
Amphibians
The most likely impact to amphibians would be displacement due to project development and
mortality caused by increased vehicle and equipment traffic. Because the area is so arid,
amphibian populations are generally restricted to perennial water sources and precautions should
be taken near waterways and wetlands to reduce potential adverse effects to any isolated
populations.
Fish
Native fish could be impacted by water depletions, sedimentation, and alteration of aquatic
habitats in the project area. WWE recommends implementing a stormwater plan, installing
stormwater BMPs and consultation with BLM to minimize impacts to native fish.
Noxious Weeds
Observations
The most commonly observed weeds in the project area are downy brome (a.k.a. cheatgrass)
(Bromus tectorum) throughout the sagebrush shrubland, PJ woodlands and roadsides; and
tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) in drainages, stock ponds, low-lying areas and roadsides. Jointed
goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) is found along CR 200, but less was observed in 2012 than in the
two previous years. It is possible that the dry spring conditions prevented germination of much
of the jointed goatgrass seed. Other noxious weeds present include: bulbous bluegrass (Poa
bulbosa), common burdock (Arctium minus), Russian knapweed (Centaurea repens), field
bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), and common mullein (Verbascum thapsus). Table 12
provides the state and county status for the noxious weeds observed in the project area.

Horner Deep Unit Biological Survey 2012
Recommendations
Portions of the project area are infested with several species of noxious weeds. This has created
a seed source that makes infestations on any new disturbance a near certainty. Implementation
of an aggressive noxious weed and vegetation management plan is suggested to coincide with
project development to control the existing infestation, prevent new infestations within the
project area, and reduce the spread of noxious weeds to adjacent areas that have not yet been
infested (State of Colorado 2010). In addition, aggressive weed management in conjunction with
reseeding of native vegetation will promote the establishment of desirable plant life in areas of
current infestation, benefiting the natural vegetative community and wildlife that occupies the
area.
Waters of the U.S. (WoUS)
Observations
WWE biologists surveyed for aquatic resources within the project area, including COE drainage
crossings and potential COE jurisdictional wetlands. Twenty-six potential COE jurisdictional
WoUS were identified during the surveys and are listed in Table 13 and shown on Figure 4.
There are eight potential wetlands, 13 drainage crossings and five points where the proposed
right-of-way (ROW) crosses blue lines on the topographic map indicating a waterway, but do not
show signs of carrying water (no ordinary high water mark — OHWM). No wetland delineations
were performed. Wetlands are presented first in Table 13 followed by drainage crossings.
Recommendations
Construction in wetlands and drainages has the potential to degrade water quality, affect
hydrology, and impact wildlife. Implementation of stormwater management plans and BMPs
will reduce the effects of construction in drainages. Avoidance of wetlands is preferable, but
wetland delineations in compliance with COE regulations should be performed if construction in
wetlands will occur.
