This permit is only for those portions of the temporary surface lines that are within the Battlement Mesa Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Battlement Mesa PUD Temporary Surface Lines (Pipeline) have two sections. The first section is a fresh water line that will begin at the Battlement Mesa Metropolitan District's (BMMD) water access point at the Zone B Water Tank in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 8, Township 7 South, Range 95 West of the 6th PM and continuing south approximately 324 feet to Ursa's Monument Ridge B well pad. Approximately 195 feet of this section is located within the PUD. The second section is a recycled water line that is approximately 7,900 feet long beginning at the southeastern corner of the Monument Ridge B well pad in the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 8, Township 7 South, Range 95 West of the 6th PM and continues south and west across private property outside the PUD to County Road (CR) 302 where the Pipeline enters the PUD. The Pipeline runs west within the PUD for approximately 3,600 feet along CR 302 to a point across CR 302 from the BMMD Water Access Point then south approximately 380 feet to the northeast corner of Ursa's Yater well pad in the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 17, Township 7 South, Range 95 West of the 6th PM. Table 1. Pipeline Description Pipeline Lengths Zone District Property Owners Fresh Water Total 324 feet 195 feet PUD — PSR Battlement Mesa Metropolitan District 129 feet Outside PUD — Rural Monument Ridge, LLC Recycled Water Total 7900 feet 3980 feet PUD — PSR, NC, LDR Battlement Mesa Land Investments 3920 feet Outside PUD — Rural Monument Ridge, LLC Jack & Robert Enyeart David R & Mary Ann Tonder JRMD LLC; John W, Roy E, Marshall & Daniel W Savage Alex N & Brenda S Yater Ursa needs this temporary surface line to move fresh water from the BMMD Zone B Water Access Point to the Monument Ridge B well pad for completions operations and to move recycled water between the Monument Ridge B and Yater well pads for reuse during completions. This line will enable Ursa to reduce disturbance to the community by removing up to 60 water transport trucks per day totaling 420 trucks per week over the anticipated 90 day completion period. It also will allow Ursa to use less fresh water throughout their process thus conserving water. The recycled March 2016 O\ OLSSON ASSOCIATES 1 1 Special Use Permit and Pipeline Development Permit Ursa Operating Company 016-0436 water section of the Pipeline is planned to be in place for no more than three years. Its initial use will last for three months. The freshwater pipeline will be located in a temporary easement on Parcel 2407-084-00-144 owned by BMMD. This section will be constructed of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and will be 10 inches in diameter. The pipeline will be laid on the surface. The recycled water section will be located within an existing pipeline easement for the Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline on Parcel 2407-081-00-152 owned by Battlement Mesa Land Investments. This section will be constructed of HDPE pipe and will be 10 inches in diameter. The pipeline will cross roads by being inserted into culverts within the Garfield County Road and Bridge Right -of -Way (ROW). The Pipeline easements consist generally of a 25 foot temporary easement with a 50 foot temporary easement for construction. The Pipeline is generally located adjacent to property lines and county road ROWs, but is not within the road ROWs except where it crosses roads. Operations of the Pipeline will include 24-hour personnel to observe, monitor, and record all water movement between the Monument Ridge B and Yater well pads. There will always be at least one person on the sending and receiving ends of the line during water transfer activities. The constant supervision reduces the potential risk of leaks and failures from occurring without being noticed in a timely manner. Every barrel of water that is sent is accounted for at both ends of the line. Pressures are monitored constantly and any change in pressure will result in immediate action to troubleshoot the cause of the pressure change. Prior to putting the water line into use, Ursa will conduct fresh water pressure testing to ensure the integrity of the line. All lines are tested to 100% of anticipated operating pressure or higher. 5.03 Conditional and Special Use,... 5.03(1 Utilities Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service are not required for the proposed Pipeline. b.U3(2, Street Improvements Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the proposed Pipeline are not required. The primary purpose of the Pipeline is to minimize traffic impacts to the area caused by trucks hauling water between well pad sites. After the Pipeline is constructed, there will be no additional traffic volume associated with the proposed Pipeline, except as required for maintenance of the Pipeline. Since the pipeline will be laid on the surface, no road bores are required. The pipeline will use culverts to cross roadways in two locations: existing culverts on CR 302 and CR 308. The pipeline route has been approved by Garfield County Road & Bridge. 5.03(3) Impacts to Adjacent Land Uses Impacts to adjacent uses of land will be minimal after the construction of the Pipeline is completed. The fresh water section is located approximately 1,100 feet from the closest public road out of March 2016 2 O\ OLSSON ASSOCIATES Special Use Permit and Pipeline Development Permit Ursa Operating Company 016-0436 view of the general public. The recycled water section will be laid along CR 302 within the Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline easement outside of the road ROW. While this section will be visible, it is located along a section of road that is used only by local traffic and oil and gas traffic servicing wells in the area. The pipeline will be black in color to help to mitigate its visual impact. The Pipeline will be in place for no longer than three years. Its initial use will last approximately three months. Construction will occur during daylight hours, typically between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Ursa anticipates that construction will take place Monday through Friday, but reserves the right to construct seven days a week in order to meet the construction schedule. No access points or lighting will be required for the proposed Pipeline. The Pipeline will be laid on the surface, so no excavating or trenching will be required. Should intermittent disturbance occur, we would reseed those disturbed areas in accordance with the easement agreement. 5.03.08 Industrial Performance Standards 5.03.08(1) Sound Volumes Construction noise will not impact adjacent residents for an extended period of time. Ursa does not plan to provide noise mitigation for this project as the construction is progressive and fast moving. After construction, no significant sound impacts will be generated by the Pipeline. The occasional pickup truck for maintenance and monitoring purposes will not impact surrounding operations and properties beyond the impacts of the traffic noises from adjacent roads where the Pipeline runs. Operation of the Pipeline will not exceed the Residential/Agricultural/Rural Zone Standards and state standards. A diesel powered pump to move recycled water between well pads will be located on the Yater well pad which is located outside the PUD. The Yater well pad will be equipped with sound walls during Ursa's pumping operations to mitigate against any noise from the pump. Pumping will occur sporadically during the completion process. The fresh water section will use BMMD's pressure system to pump water to the Monument Ridge B well pad. No sound mitigation will be required. This proposed Pipeline will comply with state standards and COGCC Rules regarding noise impacts as applicable. 5.03.08(2) Vibration Generated There will be no vibrations generated to impact adjacent residents during construction or operations of the Pipeline. 5.03.08(3) Emissions of Smoke and Particulate Matter Adjacent lands will not be impacted by the generation of dust and smoke beyond those impacts of traffic on the county roads next to the Pipeline ROW after the Pipeline is constructed. Ursa will March 2016 3 O\OLSSON ASSOCIATES 1 Special Use Permit and Pipeline Development Permit Ursa Operating Company 016-0436 apply the appropriate level of controls to accommodate potential impacts via adherence to CDPHE Air Quality regulations and the implementation of industry BMPs included in the Stormwater Management Plan and Ursa's dust control plan, if applicable. While very little dust is expected during construction, fugitive dust will be controlled using water or other dust suppressants. 5.03.08(4Emissions of Heat. Glare. Radiation and Fumes After construction, normal operation of the Pipeline will not result in heat, glare, radiation, and fumes beyond the impacts of traffic on the county roads next to the Pipeline ROW. 5.03.08(5 Storage Area, Salvage Yard, Sanitary Landfill and Mineral Waste Disposal Areas No storage areas, salvage yards, sanitary landfills, or mineral waste disposal areas are associated with the proposed Pipeline. The standards regarding these uses do not apply to the proposed Pipeline use. 5.u3.uts(b) vvaier voiiuiion The proposed Pipeline does not fall within the Town of Parachute's Watershed Protection Area, therefore no permit is required from the Town of Parachute. All water used for pressure testing will be hauled via truck to Ursa's Wasatch Facility for recycling or disposal, subsequent to testing, as appropriate. The potential for spills associated with the proposed pipeline are specific to the transport of fluids in the water line(s) and the storage of liquids containing hydrocarbons in tanks. Typically the transport of fluids along the pipeline route does not require tank storage. In the event of a release of fluids from the pipeline, Ursa will adhere to the details of their Spill Prevention and Response Plan and Emergency Response Plan. The fresh water and the recycled water sections are not connected to each other. The lines transport water to different storage tanks that are not connected to each other. There is no chance for the fresh water and recycled water to mix within the pipelines or storage tanks. 9.03.01 Application: 9.03.01(1; Supporting Information All supporting information and plans are included in this application package. Ursa will obtain utility permits and oversize/overweight load permits as required from Garfield County Road and Bridge, prior to construction. 9.03.01(2' Vicinity Map A Vicinity Map is included in Appendix 9-102.B.

No appurtenant facilities or compression stations are planned for this Pipeline. One diesel powered pump will be located on the Yater well pad outside the PUD to move recycled water to the Monument Ridge B well pad. The Yater well pad will still be equipped with sound walls during the pumping operations to mitigate noise from the pump. Pumping will occur sporadically during the completion process. Fresh water will be moved from BMMD's Zone B water access point to the Monument Ridge B well pad using BMMD's pressurized system. 9-102.J Construction Schedule Construction will begin as soon as the land use permit is approved. Construction will last approximately 3 weeks. Construction may begin on those portions of the pipeline located outside the PUD prior to approval of this permit. Construction will occur during daylight hours, typically between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Ursa anticipates that construction will take place Monday through Friday, but reserves the right to construct seven days a week in order to meet the construction schedule. 9-102.K Sensitive Area Survey WestWater Engineering (WestWater) conducted a Sensitive Area Survey October 20, 2014, May 28, 2015, and July 23, 2015 for the Battlement Mesa PUD Phase 1 Pipeline. The report is located in Appendix 9-102.K. The recycled water portion of the Pipeline is located within the same area as part of the Phase 1 Pipeline along CR 302. WestWater has provided a letter indicating that the conditions in the area remain the same. No special status plant species have been detected previously in the project area and no threatened, endangered, or candidate plant species would be expected to be affected by the project. No threatened, endangered, or sensitive wildlife species listed in Garfield County are expected to occur in the project area. No occupied raptor nests were documented in the project area in 2015. No nests would be removed by the project. The project will be located within elk and deer winter concentration areas and mule deer sever winter range. Since there will be no vegetation removal as part of this project, the effects of the project are likely to be small. The project will not further fragment habitat. During the analysis related to the construction and operation of the proposed land uses, Ursa has performed an assessment of potential impacts to Waters of the US and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) regulations. The results of the analysis indicate there will be no ACOE impacts associated with the proposed project. Ursa will follow the recommendations outlined in WestWater's Sensitive Area Survey. 9-102.L Revegetation Plan No excavation or trenching is anticipated for this pipeline. Should intermittent disturbance occur, Ursa will reseed those disturbed areas in accordance with the easement agreement and in March 2016 7 O\OLSSON ASSOCIATES 1 Special Use Permit and Pipeline Development Permit Ursa Operating Company 016-0436 accordance with Ursa's Revegetation Plan that is part of their Reclamation Plan included in Appendix 9-102.L. The Reclamation Plan includes a plant material list with application rates. A revegetation security bond should not be required for this pipeline, because there is no excavation or trenching required. 9-10?.M Weed Management Plan WestWater performed a field survey of weeds in the construction area of the Pipeline as part of their Sensitive Area Survey for the Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline. They have provided a letter indicating that conditions are generally the same as when the report was done. The noxious weed survey encompassed a 30 meter area surrounding the proposed pipeline. In the area along CR 302, noxious weeds were numerous and observations included chicory, common mullein, musk thistle, quackgrass, Russian knapweed, and Russian olive. Cheatgrass mapping was impractical due to the size of the infestation. In areas where soil disturbances have created growing conditions that favor non-native vegetation, several unlisted nuisance weed species are present. These plants can negate revegetation efforts and cause financial losses due to decreased seeding success and associated costs of replanting. The presence of these plants creates increased competition for resources and can negatively affect desirable native plant species. Plants in this category include cocklebur, kochia, prickly lettuce, prostrate spurge, prostrate vervain, Russian thistle, and tumble mustard. Ursa will follow the recommendations outlined in WestWater's Sensitive Area Survey. 9-iu2.iv traergency irtesponse rias A copy of Ursa's Emergency Response Plan is included in Appendix 9-102.N. This includes a Fire Protection Plan and a Hazardous Materials Spills Plan. A list of persons to be notified in an emergency is part of the plan, as well as other items outlined in this section. Muster points will be determined at the preconstruction meeting with Ursa's Health and Safety manager. Generally, they will be located at the muster site for the closest well pad to the active construction area. The potential for spills associated with the proposed pipeline are specific to the transport of fluids in the water line(s) and the storage of liquids containing hydrocarbons in tanks. Typically the transport of fluids and natural gas along the pipeline route does not require tank storage. In the event of a release of fluids from the pipeline, Ursa will adhere to the details of their Spill Prevention and Response Plan and Emergency Response Plan. 9- u2.v i ramc impaci. The traffic impacts during the construction of this project will be minimal. Vehicle types and trip totals are shown in Table 4 below. Table 4.

Ursa will utilize temporary traffic controls such as flaggers and signage, if required. After the Pipeline has been installed, up to 60 water truck trips per day totaling 420 truck trips per week will be eliminated from the PUD area during completions activities. 9-102, Staaino Areae The Yater well pad will be used as a material storage and staging area for the pipeline installation project. This pad is located in the NWSW, Sect 17, T7S, R95W, 6th PM. The track hoe used to move pipe from the storage area to the pipeline route will be stored at the Yater well pad or along the pipeline during construction. Pipe will be laid within the 50 -foot construction easement as needed for construction. Equipment may be stored overnight within the construction easement. Construction will occur during daylight hours only, typically between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Ursa anticipates that construction will take place Monday through Friday, but reserves the right to construct seven days a week in order to meet the construction schedule. 9-102 Q Pressure Testing The pipelines will be tested with fresh water prior to going into active service. Approximately 460,000 barrels (bbls) of water will be used. Ursa will pressure test the lines to 200 pounds per square inch (psi). Anticipated operating pressure is 150 psi. Water used for testing the Pipeline will be supplied by BMMD via a Water Service Agreement between BMMD and Ursa. A copy of the Water Service Agreement is located in Appendix 9- 102.Q. Subsequent to testing, waste water will be hauled via truck to Ursa's Wasatch Facility for recycling or disposal as needed. 9- i U4 keview L:riteria 9-104.A Located Along Perimeters The Pipeline right-of-way is located along the perimeter of surface property ownership where possible. The Pipeline route was determined based on the need to accommodate property owners, work within previously disturbed areas, reduce the amount of new surface disturbance, and serve existing and future well sites along the alignment. 9-104.B Noise Abatemen All equipment used in the construction or operation of the Pipeline will comply with state standards in regards to noise abatement as appropriate for the type of equipment or Pipeline. All power sources will have either electric motors or muffled engines. Permanent facilities will comply with noise abatement requirements. Construction noise will not impact adjacent residents for an extended period of time. Ursa does not plan to provide noise mitigation during construction of this project as the construction is progressive and fast moving. March 2016 9 O\ OLSSON ASSOCIATES Special Use Permit and Pipeline Development Permit Ursa Operating Company 016-0436 The diesel -powered pump for the recycled water section of the Pipeline will be located on the Yater well pad, outside the PUD. The sound wall on the Yater pad will remain in place during pumping operations to mitigate noise from the pump. Pumping will occur sporadically during the completions process. No noise mitigation will be required for the fresh water section of the Pipeline. Water will be pumped using BMMD's pressurized system. 9-104.( Visual Impact During construction of the Pipeline, Ursa does not plan to provide visual mitigation for this project as the construction is progressive and fast moving. The Pipeline route will be reclaimed if necessary as soon as practical for optimal growing conditions. The Pipeline is a temporary surface line. The recycled water section will be visible to the general public along CR 302. The pipe will be black in color to help minimize visual impacts. It is located in an area where the traffic is comprised of local residents and natural gas service vehicles. The fresh water section of the pipeline is located approximately 1,100 feet from the closest public road out of view of the general public. 9-104.0 i -cress Points to Public Roads All oversized or overweight vehicles will obtain permits prior to beginning work. Public roads that will be used to access the project area include County Roads 215, 300N, 300E, and 308. All of these roads are classified as haul routes according to the Road Map available on the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department web page. CR 302 is not a haul route, but will be used to access the Pipeline where it is located next to CR 302. 9-104.E Air Contaminant Emissions All air emissions shall be in compliance with provisions of the Colorado Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act, Title 25, Article 7. Any required air quality permits will be submitted to the CDPHE prior to construction, if applicable. 9-104.F Water Quality Control Standards See Section 5.03.08(6) Water Pollution above. 9-104.( Reclamation Plan No excavation or trenching is anticipated for this pipeline. Should intermittent disturbance occur, Ursa will reseed those disturbed areas in accordance with the easement agreement. Any revegetation that may be required after installation of the surface lines will be done in accordance with Ursa's Revegetation Plan that is part of their Reclamation Plan. The Reclamation Plan includes a plant material list with application rates. 9-104.H Removal of Abandoned Pipeline When the pipeline is no longer needed and removed, Ursa will comply with the easement agreement and their Reclamation and Weed Management Plans in effect at the time of removal.

Battlement Parkway) and adjacent to and south of County Road 302 (Underwood Ln.). Overall alignment mapping is attached. ZONING: Planned Unit Development (Battlement Mesa) TYPE OF APPLICATION: Special Use Permit for a Pipeline I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant is proposing to construct water pipelines along the east edge of the Battlement Mesa PUD. Portions of the pipelines will be located within the PUD crossing through Zone District Categories that require a Special Use Permit for Extraction and Processing Uses. Pipelines are ancillary and accessory to Extraction and Processing uses. Based on Staff review of the PUD provisions including Section 10.2, "Uses Permitted", it has been determined that the proposed pipelines will require a Special Use Permit for those sections located within the Battlement Mesa PUD. Portions of the pipeline that are located within the Rural (R) Zone District outside of the PUD do not meet the Land Use and Development Code criteria for requiring a land use change permit. In accordance with Section 9-101 Applicability, those sections of the proposed pipelines outside the PUD are Tess than 12" in diameter and less than 2 miles in length. The pipeline sections outside the PUD may however require grading permits and compliance with any conditions contained therein. The proposed fresh water line will connect the Monument Ridge B Pad to a fresh water tank/source operated by Battlement Mesa Metro District (BMMD). ft will be approximately 350 ft. in total length with 190 ft. within the PUD. The pipeline is anticipated to be 10" in diameter and constructed of High Density Polyethylene (HDP) or similar materials. The recycled water pipeline will connect the Monument Ridge B Pad to the Yater Pad and is approximately 7,400 ft. in length with about 1/z of the alignment located within the PUD. It will be 8" — 10" in diameter and constructed of High Density Polyethylene (HDP). The pipelines will be fuse welded and pressure tested. They will be located on the surface with no site disturbance or excavation anticipated. Existing culverts will be utilized for roadway or driveway crossings or new/replacement culverts installed. With no site disturbance, no revegetation is anticipated to be necessary. Based on the scale of the project, very limited construction traffic and staging areas along with a short construction period are anticipated.

At that time we documented the presence of several species of noxious weeds and identified that one potential waterway was completely vegetated and had no ordinary high water mark within the area of the proposed temporary surface lines you provided in our meeting today. To the best of our knowledge, conditions in the project area have not changed substantially and the information presented in the above referenced reports is still valid. I recommend that surveys be updated if installation of the pipeline occurs after the summer of 2016 due to the fluid nature of noxious weed infestations and the potential for new species or expansion of existing infestations. If you need any additional information from WestWater please let us know. Sincerely, ASM Nicholas Jaramillo Environmental Scientist URSA OPERATING, INC.

Prepared by: WestWater Engineering, Inc. 2516 Foresight Cr. #1 Grand Junction, CO 81505 aikaM,k& Nicholas Jaramillo, Biologi t/Environmental Scientist JULY 2015 INTRODUCTION Project Description At the request of Ursa Operating, Inc., WestWater Engineering has prepared a sensitive areas survey and report for the proposed Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline that would be located on privately owned lands in Garfield County, Colorado. The proposed project would include a buried pipeline approximately 2.56 miles in length. The project would be located in Sections 17 and 18, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, 6th Principal Meridian (Figure 1). Access to the project area is available via South Battlement Parkway, River Bluff Road, and Underwood Lane. The current land uses include rangeland, agricultural, residential, and industrial. This document reports the results and analysis of the findings that are pertinent to Section 9-102-K of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (as amended) that apply to this project. Survey Methods The project area was evaluated for the potential occurrence of special status plants and wildlife, raptors, noxious weeds, and potential Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. by WestWater biologists during field surveys in October 20, 2014, May 28, 2015, and July 23, 2015. Access to some parcels of private land within the survey buffers could not be obtained and surveys were limited to parcels directly affected by the proposed pipeline. Vegetation types were determined through aerial photography and on -the -ground assessments. Plant species identification was aided by using pertinent published field guides (Spackman et al. 1997, Kershaw et al. 1998, Whitson et al. 2001, CWMA 2007, Weber and Wittmann 2012). Mapped soil types, as published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), were reviewed to determine the soil types and expected natural vegetation characteristics at the project site (NRCS 2015). Data locations were recorded using handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) units (Datum: NAD83, Zone 12) and photographs were taken of the habitat, terrain, and biological features found during the survey. The project area was analyzed for the potential for threatened and endangered plant species occurrence based on results of previous surveys, literature review, and existing data for special status plant distribution in western Colorado. Noxious weed infestations within 30 meters of project features were documented during surveys in 2014 and 2015, and are reported in an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan that was prepared for this project (WestWater 2015). Potential threatened and endangered wildlife occurrences were analyzed through previous survey information and literature review. Raptor nest surveys and occupancy status updates of known nests were conducted in suitable habitats within 0.125 mile of project features in 2014 and 2015, with all known nests sites evaluated for occupancy status in July 2015. During surveys, biologists selected pedestrian routes that would ensure adequate coverage of all suitable potential raptor nest trees; there are no potential cliff nest sites nearby. SECTION 9-102-K — SENSITIVE AREAS WATERS OF THE U.S. — Army Corps of Engineers Waters of the U.S. (WoUS) include wetlands and drainages under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams and drainages, as indicated on U.S. Geological Survey mapping, are considered WoUS if they exhibit evidence of flow (i.e. ordinary high water mark) and are hydrologically connected to a perennial stream. In addition to hydrology, a jurisdictional wetland will also demonstrate the unique soil and vegetation characteristics that result from inundation or saturation. WestWater biologists surveyed the area for aquatic resources including wetlands and WoUS crossings that would fall under the jurisdiction of the COE in conjunction with other surveys that were conducted WestWater Engineering Page 1 of 15 July 2015 for this report. Several potential WoUS locations would be crossed by the proposed pipeline (Table 1; Figure 1). Some portions of the pipeline are planned to be installed by directional bore and there would be no foreseeable affects to wetlands. Table 1.

Wetland vegetation approximately 18 inches on each side. VEGETATION Vegetation communities around the project area have been disturbed by agriculture, natural gas development, and nearby residential and recreational development. Vegetation consists of a mixture of agricultural fields, widely scattered pinyon juniper woodlands, and sagebrush shrublands with a grass understory. Pinyon juniper woodlands are dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and occasional pinyon pine (Pinus edulis), and are inter -mixed with sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp.), forbs, and grasses. Other vegetation observed in the area includes greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus), rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosus), Indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides), kochia (Bassia prostrata), Russian thistle (Salsola ssp.), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), annual wheatgrass (Eremopyrum triticeum), and crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum). WestWater Engineering Page 2 of 15 July 2015 Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Plant Species No special status plant species have been detected previously in the project area and no threatened, endangered, or candidate plant species listed in Garfield County (Table 2) would be expected to be affected by the project (USFWS 2015a). A review of the available literature, evaluation of soils and terrain at the project site, and previous WestWater surveys indicated no known populations of these plants exist nearby. Table 2.

Canada thistle, chicory, common burdock, hoary cress, houndstongue, musk thistle, plumeless thistle, Russian knapweed, Russian olive, and salt cedar are listed weeds in Garfield County (Garfield County 2013). Detailed noxious weed infestation information, general control techniques, and revegetation recommendations are reported in a previously prepared Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan prepared for this project (WestWater 2015). WILDLIFE Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Wildlife Species No threatened, endangered, or sensitive wildlife species listed in Garfield County are expected to occur in the project area (Table 3) (USFWS 2015a).

Until the review and rulemaking process is complete, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recommending that "Lineage GB" cutthroat trout be managed as greenback cutthroat (USFWS 2012) The project area drains to the Colorado River within or above designated critical habitat for Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker, bonytail, and humpback chub. Increased sedimentation, introduction of WestWater Engineering Page 3 of 15 July 2015 pollutants, or water depletions for hydrostatic testing of a pipeline and dust control could affect aquatic habitats downstream. Habitat conditions are not appropriate for the remaining species in Table 3. Raptors Several raptor species could nest in the project area (Table 4). Nesting season for raptor species in this area begins in January for eagles and continues through mid-August for some hawks. The most common raptor species observed in the area include American Kestrel, Cooper's Hawk, Golden Eagle, Great Horned Owl, and Red-tailed Hawk. Table 4.

No nests would be removed by the project. Numerous Black -billed Magpie nests exist but they were not individually documented. Magpie nests could be used by Long-eared Owls, but no owl sign was present in July 2015 to indicate recent occupancy. Raptor nest information is provided in Table 5. Table 5.

Birds of Conservation Concern, Migratory, and Non -migratory Birds (other than raptors) WestWater biologists evaluated the project area for bird species that could be affected by the project. Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) (USFWS 2008) have been identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for priority conservation management in an attempt to prevent or remove the need to WestWater Engineering Page 4 of 15 July 2015 list additional species under the Endangered Species Act (USFWS 2015b). A specific migratory bird clearance survey was not conducted due to uncertain construction timing; therefore a thorough literature review was conducted to identify BCC species with potential to occur in the project area (Table 6) (Andrews & Righter 1992, Kingery 1998, Righter et al 2004, Poole 2015). Table 6. BCC and BLM sensitive species that may occur in the nroiect area.

Gray Vireo Vireo vicinior BCC Open pinyon juniper woodlands from 4,500, to 6,500 -feet in elevation. Suitable habitat exists in the project area. Juniper Titmouse Baeolophus griseus BCC Pinyon juniper woodlands. Suitable habitat exists in the project area.

Suitable habitat exists in the project area. Pinyon Jay Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus BCC Pinyon/juniper woodlands. Year-round resident in western Colorado. Suitable habitat exists in the project area. * BLM sensitive species (BLM 2009) No migratory bird nests were documented during other surveys, although suitable nesting habitat for migratory bird species, including BCC species, would be directly affected by the project. Most non -game bird species and their nests are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712; Ch. 128; July 13, 1918; 40 Stat. 755) and destruction of occupied nests could be considered a "take" resulting in a violation. American Elk and Mule Deer The project would be located within elk and deer winter concentration areas and mule deer severe winter range (CPW 2015a) (Figure 4). The project area provides habitat for a small population of deer and elk nearly year-round, although numbers increase during winter when migratory herds arrive from higher terrain. Much of the native vegetation in the project area has been altered for various developments. The effects of additional vegetation removal necessary for the project are likely to be small once revegetation and reclamation have occurred. The loss of forage and cover for big game would be temporary and because the pipeline would be built along existing developments, the project would not further fragment habitat. Any necessary fencing should be constructed consistent with published standards that reduce impacts to big game (Hanophy 2009). Deer and elk populations have become somewhat habituated to human activity in the area and indirect impacts from construction of this project would be low. No migration corridors will be affected. Vehicle WestWater Engineering Page 5 of 15 July 2015 related mortality attributable to this project is unlikely given the current traffic volumes and generally low speed limits on the existing roads. Black Bear and Mountain Lion CPW mapping shows the site to be within overall ranges for black bear and mountain lion, including bear -human and lion -human conflict areas (Figure 5) (CPW 2015a). Affects to mountain lion are unlikely. Potential bear encounters could occur if garbage or food is not properly managed during construction. Interactions with humans sometimes result in the euthanasia of offending bears by the CPW and would be the most conceivable potential impact on either species. All garbage and food items should be stored in bear -proof receptacles and/or removed from the site on a daily basis to prevent attracting bears to the site. Small Mammals Common small mammal species in the project area include coyote (Canis latrans) and cottontail (Sylvilagus spp.). Northern pocket gophers (Thamomys talpoides) are known to occur in the area and a multitude of additional rodent species may occur (Fitzgerald et. al. 2011). Townsend's big -eared bat (State species of concern and BLM sensitive — Corynorhinus townsendii pallescens) and fringed myotis (BLM sensitive — Myotis thysanoides) and several other bat species may occupy the area seasonally, but no bats were observed. Reptiles Midget faded rattlesnake (State species of concern and BLM sensitive — Crotalus viridis concolor) has been observed near Parachute, and may exist in the project area. Other species of reptiles within the project area may include western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans), gopher (bull) snake (Pituophis catenifer sayi), side -blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana), plateau striped whiptail (Cnemidophorus velox), sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus), tree lizard (Urosaurus ornatus), and western whiptail (Cnemidophorus tigris), among others (Hammerson 1999). Aquatic Species No aquatic features that provide suitable habitat for fish were observed in the project area. There is potential that aquatic wildlife downstream could be affected by water depletions associated with hydrostatic testing of the pipeline or dust suppression Minimizing water use during drier periods of the year would help mitigate these effects. No amphibians were observed during the survey, but it is possible that Northern leopard frog (State species of concern and BLM sensitive — Lithobates pipiens), Great Basin spadefoot (BLM sensitive — Spea intermontana), and tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) may occupy suitable habitats in the area (Hammerson 1999). Summary of Effects and Recommendations Waters of the U.S.: For construction that will occur within a channel with an ordinary high water mark, consultation with the COE would be appropriate to determine jurisdictional status and permitting requirements. Wetland crossings may require delineations for permitting with the COE. No wetland delineation was conducted during the survey. Native vegetation/T&E plants: No threatened or endangered species of plants would be affected by the project. Vegetation within previously disturbed areas and within the project footprint is composed of a mix of native and non-native species, including many noxious and nuisance species. Additional native vegetation would be cleared for construction and revegetated upon completion. Reseeding with native grasses would be beneficial and with implementation of an active weed management plan, vegetation conditions along the right-of-way may be improved over present conditions. Noxious Weeds: Several noxious weed species listed by the State of Colorado and Garfield County were present in the project area. An integrated vegetation and noxious weed management plan has been WestWater Engineering Page 6 of 15 July 2015 developed for this project, which includes infestation locations, general control techniques, and revegetation recommendations (WestWater 2015). T&E wildlife: No suitable habitat for threatened or endangered wildlife species occur within the project area. The project area drains to the Colorado River which provides Critical Habitat for four species of endangered fish. Sedimentation or pollution may have an indirect effect on these species if they occur. There is potential that aquatic wildlife downstream could be affected by water depletions associated with dust control and hydrostatic testing of the pipeline, if that practice is utilized Minimizing water use during drier periods of the year would help mitigate these effects. Implementation of a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), and Best Management Practices (BMPs) associated with this type of project will provide a good degree of mitigation for any potential impacts. Raptors: Long-term impacts resulting from project development would be unlikely because no nests are directly affected. The area currently experiences significant human activity, and habitat is mostly marginal for raptor nesting. Indirect effects could occur if construction takes place near nests during the active nesting season if no topographical or vegetative screen exists. Projects consisting of linear features such as pipelines are oftentimes less disruptive to nesting raptors than other development activities that occur in a small area over a longer time frame. Nests within 0.125 - miles of linear projects are the most likely to be affected. In cases where occupied raptor nests exist near a project and no mitigating factors are present, efforts should be made to adhere to case specific timing and buffer distance limitations to reduce indirect affects (Table 7). The recommendations below are based on Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) recommendations (Craig 2002, Klute 2008) and literature review of nesting season timing for raptors in the region (Andrews and Righter 1992, Kingery 1998, Righter et. al. 2004, Poole 2015).

Keep activity to a minimum during breeding season. Migratory birds, including BCC species: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidance indicates that developments can affect nesting migratory birds within 100 feet of a project and indirect effects related to WestWater Engineering Page 7 of 15 July 2015 the project could include the disruption of nesting and brood rearing activities if project construction occurs during the nesting season. To reduce negative effects, vegetation removal should occur outside of the nesting season, which is generally considered to occur between May 15 and July 15 for the species in this area. If vegetation clearing occurs prior to the nesting season, most affected birds will relocate to alternate sites. Reducing the amount of vegetation removed would also help mitigate effects of lost nesting habitat. Forage and cover for wildlife and habitat fragmentation: The long-term effects of vegetation removal necessary for the project are likely to be minimal once revegetation and reclamation have occurred. The pipeline would be along or within existing disturbances and would not further fragment existing habitat once construction and revegetation are complete. Suitable nesting habitat for birds would be directly affected by the project. To reduce negative effects, vegetation removal should occur outside of the nesting season and should include as little native vegetation as possible. Big game migration corridors: No migration corridors would be affected. Big game species are not restricted to specific movement corridors in this area and the presence of this pipeline will not create a barrier. Fencing, if necessary, could alter daily big game movements on a small scale and could pose a hazard to animals if not built with wildlife in mind. Elk and mule deer winter range: Much of the project would take place within big game winter range, though the proposed alignment occurs primarily along areas with significant human presence year round. It is advisable to minimize activity and disturbance in big game winter ranges during winter months (December - April). Open trenches: Trenches or pits left open during construction can present a dangerous obstacle for wildlife. Temporary fencing should be erected to prevent wildlife from falling into the trench. Regularly spaced earthen ramps would enable animals that do enter the trench to escape. Direct affects from construction and operation: Direct removal of migratory bird nests or disruption of nesting and brood rearing activities are possible if project construction occurs during the nesting season if vegetation removal hasn't occurred before the nesting season. Vehicle related mortality connected to this project is expected to be low. Indirect effects from construction and operation of the pipeline: Wildlife in the project area has become somewhat habituated to human activity and indirect impacts from construction of this project would be low. Water depletions for dust control or hydrostatic testing of the pipeline can affect downstream aquatic wildlife. The presence of construction personnel and noise has a low potential to affect wildlife in a negative manner, since the construction activities would be short in duration and occur adjacent to and within an area of considerable human activity.

Ursa began operating in the Rifle/Silt area on April 1, 2013. The resources include Battlement Mesa field, North Gravel Trend field, Gravel Trend field, and Castle Springs field. The Roan resources are included in the North Gravel Trend field and the Wolf Creek resource is included in the Castle Springs field. Fields cover most of Township 7 South Ranges 91 and 95 West, Township 8 South Range 90 West, Township 5 South Ranges 91-93 West, and Township 6 South Ranges 90-93 West. This Plan will cover re -contouring, reseeding, noxious weed treatment, storm water mitigation and monitoring of the well pads, Rights of Way (ROWs), and other infrastructures required for natural gas operation. This plan is twofold: interim reclamation of a site once a site has been constructed and final reclamation of the site when the pad/ROW is no longer in operation and has been plugged and abandoned (P & A). The reclamation of disturbed land is a critical component when creating a system where ecological functions and values are restored once the ground disturbance activities have ceased. Rehabilitation of the disturbed area assists the natural ecological processes to move towards a self -promoting condition. Once a self-supporting environment has been established, the natural processes of the location can take over and continue the rehabilitation processes with minimal intervention from outside parties. The costs associated with the rehabilitation process will be minimized to the operator if proper treatments are applied initially to ensure the best environment possible for rehabilitation treatments to succeed. Bonding is required for oil and gas lease operations (43 CFR 3104, 36 CFR 228 E). The bond will cover the activities the operator performs including, but not limited to: plugging leasehold wells, surface reclamation, and cleanup of abandoned operations. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) 1000 Series Reclamation Regulations declare that "all disturbed areas affected by drilling or subsequent operations, except areas reasonably needed for production operations or for subsequent drilling operations to be commenced within 12 months, shall be reclaimed as early and as nearly practical to their original conditions. This plan is designed to provide guidance concerning reclamation activities for Ursa land managers once the site of concern is no longer utilized for operations. The area to be reclaimed shall be kept as weed free as practicable of all undesirable noxious weed species. Weed control measures shall be conducted in compliance with the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35-5.5-101.et.seq). Storm water mitigation will be in compliance with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) Water Quality Division General Permit Series COR -030000 and COGCC 1002.f regulations. 1 Procedures identified in this plan apply only to all Ursa Fields. All COGCC, CDPHE and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) procedures (site specific Conditions Of Approval or COAs) will be followed. Personnel working on this project should be familiar with the reclamation plan and its contents prior to preliminary construction activities. 2 2.0 Site Characteristics There are several communities located near the resource areas. Parachute, Battlement Mesa, and Rulison, are located in or near the Battlement Mesa field, (Township 7 South Range 95 West). Rifle, Silt, and New Castle, are located along the boundaries of the North Gravel Trend and Gravel Trend fields. Glenwood Springs is located approximately 27 miles to the east (Township 6 South Range 89 West). The resources range in elevation from 5,000- 9,500 feet and receive between 10-18 inches of precipitation per year. The frost free period ranges from 75 to 125 days, creating a growing season of approximately two and a half to four months. Each location has a site specific plan with details of soils, seed mix, and phase. Refer to Appendix C. COAs will be included in Appendix C for all sites located on federal lands. 3 3.0 Reclamation This plan covers: interim reclamation of a site once the site has been constructed and is in production, and final reclamation of the site when the location is no longer in operation and the well(s) have been plugged and abandoned (P & A). Interim reclamation and final reclamation will be in compliance with CDPHE and COGCC regulations. Construction and reclamation activities will be in accordance with the individual county noxious weed management plan (please refer to the Ursa Noxious Weed Plan). Dust suppression measures are required under the county grading permits and Federal land, and will be implemented as applicable. Each stage will be applied to the reclamation of the locations undergoing reclamation. Interim reclamation will be completed as stated in the Field Wide Storm Water Management Plan(s). All equipment used on reclamation projects will be cleaned and inspected prior to entering location to ensure noxious weed seeds are not being transported onto the site. 3.1 Stage One (Removal and Disposal) During reclamation of any site, once the pad/ROW/access road has been constructed, all wooden stakes used to secure wattles and straw bales, and other waste associated with construction of the site will be disposed of properly. This includes any trash left behind on location such as pipe fittings, used lumber or miscellaneous items that have been discarded. Petroleum products if on site should be contained in secondary containment. Interim Reclamation: • Pads — The initial footprint of the pad will be reduced, leaving enough room for everyday operations to occur on site in a safe manner and will be in compliance with COGCC 1003. All temporary storm water controls will be removed and permanent BMPs will be installed. Disturbed areas will be drill or broadcast seeded as applicable to the topography of the site. Seeding rate and mix will be determined by land owner. Certified weed free straw will be utilized at 2 tons per acre and crimped into place. • Pipelines — Pipelines will be seeded with the site specific seed mix per land owner requests. As applicable, certified weed free straw will be used as mulch at 2 tons per acre, and will be crimped into place. ROW will be monitored and permanent storm water best management practices (BMPs) will be installed to control erosion and sedimentation. • Roads — The access roads to a site will be properly graveled and stabilized. The cut and fill slopes of the access roads will be seeded and mulched as applicable to the individual site. Final Reclamation: • Pads — Pads in final reclamation will be plugged and abandoned (P & A), all temporary BMPs will be removed and replaced with permanent BMPs if necessary, and the surface area will be recontoured and seeded. Drill or broadcast 4 seeding methods will be used at the appropriate rate and depth. Surface roughening will be implemented to retain water and eliminate rilling. • Pipelines — Pipelines will be considered finally stabilized upon reaching 70% pre - disturbance vegetative cover, per the CDPHE general permit COR030000. • Roads — All access roads in final reclamation will be graveled and considered stable, with the sides of the roads are vegetated or stabilized. Closure of a road will consist of recontouring to existing topography, seeding, mulching and in some cases transplanting (using the trackhoe bucket) sagebrush and small trees on the edge of the road. During final reclamation of the site, when the pad is no longer in operation, all manmade structures will be removed from the site by means of backhoe, bulldozer, skidsteer or other appropriate heavy machinery. Structures may include, but are not limited to: compressor engines, generators, steel structures, cement foundations and other equipment used for the extraction of natural gas. Petroleum waste products if on site should be contained in secondary containment and disposed of properly. Gravel, road base and large cobbles installed on site for surface stabilization controls will be removed. Disposal and/or reuse method of gravel will be left to the discretion of the operator. 3.2 Stage Two (Substrate Preparation) In both phases of reclamation, the condition of the soil is very important for the establishment of a healthy self-sustaining environment. Locations where the soil has noticeable spills will have the contaminated soil removed or remediated, and disposed of in accordance with County and COGCC waste management regulations (refer to Ursa waste management plan). In the phase of final reclamation when active operations have ceased the substrate void of chemical presence, and gravel that was applied to the location during operations removed, reclamation efforts will take place. To alleviate soil compaction, the substrate will be cross ripped to a depth of 18 inches. Cross ripping will take place when the soil moisture is below 35 percent of field capacity. The cross ripping is specified by the COGCC under the 1000 Series Rules. The substrate shall be contoured to emulate the surrounding lands topography. Pre -disturbance photographs and visual extrapolations are to be used to create this contour. The soil used to contour the landscape will be applied in accordance to the order it was removed (i.e. first off, last on). This practice will ensure that the soil is applied to the appropriate horizon from which it was taken initially. Salvaged topsoil will be distributed across the entire disturbed area at a depth of six (6) to twelve (12) inches depending upon the landowner use agreement if possible. Should there be a shortage of topsoil available on site, the contractor will be responsible for replacement of lost or degraded topsoil with topsoil imported from an approved and certified weed -free source. 5 3.3 Stage Three (Planting/Timing) In both phases of reclamation, seedbed preparation will consist of scarifying, tilling or harrowing seedbed to a depth of three (3) to four (4) inches post ripping. This will occur just prior to seeding. Drill seeding will be performed at a depth of 0.5 inches, seed will be covered with soil and lightly compacted to ensure good seed to soil contact. Seed will be applied using a rangeland seed drill with a seed release and agitation mechanism sufficient to allow seeds of various size and density to be planted at the proper seeding depth. The seed mix for each reclamation project will be an approved Seed Mix (Appendix B). Certified weed free straw will be applied at a rate 2,000 lbs/acre and crimpled in place following drill seeding. Ideally planting will occur in the fall, before the first snow of the season. Early October is optimal. If possible, planting should occur in conjunction with a predicted precipitation event. By positioning the seed below the snow fall or rain, the seed will receive good contact with the soil and utilize the benefits of the precipitation. Spring planting can be conducted after the frost line is gone from the soil. During both phases of final reclamation, the seed mix associated with this site will be used. 6 4.0 Storm Water Mitigation 4.1 Best Management Practices (BMPs) To avoid erosion of topsoil and seed transport from storm events, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be installed where applicable on the perimeter of any location being reclaimed. Given the location of the site, surface roughening and pocking will reduce storm water impact and capture and retain precipitation. This will aid in the germination of the seed and increase seedling survival. 4.2 Reclamation Monitoring Monitoring of the vegetative progress is vital to ensure that proper procedures were implemented on the location. Monitoring will allow for early response to potential problems encountered during the reclamation process. Identifying challenges to the reclamation goals at an early stage will allow for adequate time to formulate a response to the situation. By identifying potential complications early in the process, the future costs associated with rehabilitation will be minimized for the operator. If the treatments do not show the desired outcome, additional actions will be taken to reach reclamation goals. After the source of the problem is identified, careful attention will be paid to the timing of the supplemental treatment. If treatments such as seeding are not carried out at the proper time, the treatment will not be effective and to the operator will be increased rehabilitation costs. Monitoring activities will examine several parameters including: the condition of implemented BMPs, growth state and success rate of areas seeded, presence and location of noxious weeds, and possible sources of failure for reclamation processes. Photo documentation is required for all the above parameters for high-quality progress tracking. After the initial reclamation amendments are applied, and CDPHE requirements of 70 percent pre -disturbance levels have been met as well as COGCC requirements of 80 percent vegetative cover, a tri -annual monitoring scheme will be implemented. Monitoring activities will occur in the spring, summer and fall. Qualified individuals will carry out visual surveys and transects on site. Monitoring will occur until COGCC requirements of 80% desired vegetation has been reached. 7 5.0 References Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). 2008.

O\OLSSON ASSOCIATES Ursa Operating, Inc. — Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan Garfield County, Colorado Cover photo: Looking southeast along proposed alignment in Battlement Mesa. Prepared for: Ursa Operating, Inc. Prepared by: WestWater Engineering 2516 Foresight Circle #1 Grand Junction, CO 81505 October 2014 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Description At the request of Ursa Operating, Inc., WestWater Engineering has prepared an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan for the proposed Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline project. The proposed pipeline would be located on private lands in Garfield County consisting of Sections 17 and 18, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, Sixth Principal Meridian (Figure 1). The current primary uses of the project area are private residential, agriculture, and wildlife habitat. 1.2 General Survey Information Pedestrian surveys of the project area were conducted on October 20, 2014, which is after the active growing season for most plants in the project area. Identification of plant species was aided by using pertinent published field guides (Kershaw et al. 1998, Whitson et al. 2001, CWMA 2007, Weber and Wittmann 2012). Noxious weed locations were recorded with the aid of handheld global positioning system (GPS) receivers using NAD83 map datum, with all coordinate locations based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system in Zone 12. Mapped soil types, as published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), were reviewed to determine the soil types and vegetation characteristics at the project site (NRCS 2014). 2.0 LANDSCAPE SETTING 2.1 Terrain The terrain in the project area consists of moderately sloping foothills, which generally drain westward to the Colorado River. Elevation of the project ranges from approximately 5,100 feet near the proposed western terminus to 5,920 feet near Monument Gulch. 2.2 Vegetation Vegetation communities in the project area have largely been altered from their native state. Small areas of native vegetation that remain consist of sagebrush shrubland, mountain shrubland, and pinyon juniper woodlands. In its current state, the project area is composed of mostly introduced pasture grasses, alfalfa, and a multitude of exotic, weedy species. 3.0 NOXIOUS WEEDS 3.1 Introduction to Noxious Weeds Most noxious weed species in Colorado were introduced, mostly from Eurasia, either unintentionally or as ornamentals that established wild populations. These plants compete aggressively with native vegetation and tend to spread quickly because the environmental factors that normally control them are absent. Disturbed soils, altered native vegetation communities, and areas with increased soil moisture often create prime conditions for weed infestations. The primary vectors that spread noxious weeds include humans, animals, water, and wind. The Colorado Noxious Weed Act (State of Colorado 2005) requires local governing bodies to develop noxious weed management plans. Both the State of Colorado and Garfield County maintain a list of plants that are considered to be noxious weeds. The State of Colorado noxious weed list segregates noxious weed species based on priority for control: 1. List A species must be eradicated whenever detected. 2. List B species' spread should be halted; may be designated for eradication in some counties. 3. List C species are widespread and the State will assist local jurisdictions which choose to manage those weeds. WestWater Engineering Page 1 of 12 October 2014 The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has compiled a list of 21 plants from the State list considered to be noxious weeds within the county (Garfield County 2013) (Appendix A). The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has duties to: 1. Develop a noxious weed list; 2. Develop a weed management plan for designated noxious weeds; and, 3. Recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that identified landowners submit an integrated weed management plan for their properties (Garfield County 2002). 3.2 Observations The noxious weed survey encompassed a 30 meter area surrounding the proposed pipeline. Noxious weeds were numerous and observations included Canada thistle, cheatgrass, chicory, common burdock, common mullein, field bindweed, houndstongue, jointed goatgrass, musk thistle, quackgrass, redstem filaree, Russian knapweed, Russian olive, tamarisk, spiny plumeless thistle, and whitetop. Cheatgrass mapping was impractical due to the size of the infestation. Noxious weeds detected during the survey are illustrated in Figure 1 and summarized in Appendix B. In areas where soil disturbances have created growing conditions that favor non-native vegetation, several unlisted nuisance weed species have become established. These plants can negate revegetation efforts and cause financial losses due to decreased seeding success and associated costs of replanting. The presence of these plants creates increased competition for resources and can negatively affect desirable native plant species. Plants in this category include cocklebur, kochia, prickly lettuce, prostrate spurge, prostrate vervain, Russian thistle, and tumble mustard. 3.3 Integrated Weed Management Control of invasive species is a difficult task and requires intensive on-going control measures. Care must be taken to avoid negatively impacting desirable plant communities and inviting infestation by other pioneer invaders. Weed management is best achieved by employing varied methods over several growing seasons to include inventory (surveys), direct treatments, prevention through best management practices, monitoring of treatment efficacy, and subsequent detection efforts. Weed management is often limited to control and prevention rather than eradication, but eradication can be possible in small to medium sized infestations. Assessment of the existence and extent of noxious weeds in an area is essential for the development of an integrated weed management plan. This report provides an initial assessment of the occurrence of noxious weeds for the project area. In order to continue effective management of noxious weeds, further inventory and analysis is necessary to 1) determine the effectiveness of the past treatment strategies; 2) modify the treatment plan, if necessary; and 3) detect new infestations early, which would result in more economical and effective treatments. 3.4 Prevention of Noxious Weed Infestations Weed management can be costly, and heavy infestations may exceed the economic threshold for practical treatment. Prevention is an especially valuable and economical strategy for noxious weed management. Several simple practices should be employed to prevent weed infestations. The following practices will prevent infestation and thereby reduce costs associated with noxious weed control: Prior to delivery to the site, all equipment and vehicles, including maintenance vehicles, should be thoroughly cleaned of soils from previous sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds. WestWater Engineering Page 2 of 12 October 2014 If working in sites with weed -seed contaminated soil, equipment should be cleaned of potentially seed -bearing soils and vegetative debris at the infested area prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain. Avoid driving vehicles through areas where weed infestations exist. Use of weed free materials such as mulch and seed. 3.5 Treatment and Control of Noxious Weed Infestations The several landowners along the alignment are likely to have various preferences for weed control and differing weed treatment strategies already in place; any control efforts should be coordinated with individual property managers. The following general control methods for the weeds in the project area are provided for reference (Table 1). Table 1. General noxious weed control methods for species in the nroiect area. Common Name Scientific Name USDA Symbol Type* Control Methods Canada thistle Cirsium arvense CIAR4 P Prevent seed production; deplete energy reserves in roots. Small infestations should be treated aggressively with herbicides that translocate to the root system. In large infestations, mow three times per growing season, followed by herbicide treatment in the fall. Biological control agents are available but ineffective in populations less than 5 acres in size or in wet areas. Tillage is not effective and will result in denser populations. Cheatgrass Bromus tectorum BRTE A Prevent seed production. Apply herbicides in fall and spring in large monocultures where there are few if any desirable grasses. Till when plants are in the seedling stage followed by seeding with native cool -season grasses. Avoid overgrazing. Best management practices are most effective in preventing and controlling infestations. Chicory Cichorium intybus CIIN B Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Remove seed or flower heads from plants that have bolted. Common burdock Arctium minus ARMI B Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Before spraying, remove and bag flower or seed heads from plants that have bolted. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Common mullein Verbascum thapsus VETH B Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Before spraying, remove flower or seed heads from plants that have bolted. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Field bindweed Convolvulus arvensis COAR4 P Deplete energy reserves in roots. Herbicide treatment when plants are beginning to flower. Biological controls are available and fairly effective for large populations growing in sunny dry conditions. Tillage is not effective and will result in denser populations. WestWater Engineering Page 3of12 October 2014 Table 1. General noxious weed control methods for species in the nroiect area. Common Name Scientific Name USDA Symbol Type* Control Methods Houndstongue Cynoglossum officinale CYOF B Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Before spraying, remove and bag flower or seed heads from plants that have bolted. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Jointed goatgrass Aegilops cylindrica AECY A Prevent seed production. A complex management strategy of tillage, planting desirable species and herbicide treatment should be designed for specific areas of infestation. Target seedlings in the spring for most effective control. Use tillage where possible to reduce seed bank by bringing some seeds up to the germination zone and burying others. Follow tillage with planting of desirable species Musk thistle Carduus nutans CANU4 B Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Before spraying, remove and bag flower or seed heads from plants that have bolted. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Biological control agents are available but ineffective in populations less than 5 acres in size. Quackgrass Elymus repens ELRE P Prevent seed production. A complex management strategy of tillage, planting desirable species, and both pre- and post- emergent herbicide treatment should be designed for specific areas of infestation. Target seedlings in early spring for most effective control. Vigorous tillage where possible to reduce seed bank and set back current growth. Follow tillage with planting of desirable species Redstem filaree Erodium cicutarium ERCI A Prevent seed production. Apply herbicides in the fall or spring when plants are in rosette stage. Hand digging in the rosette stage when soil is moist can be effective for small, isolated populations. Preventing introduction of seeds through clean vehicles and careful management of soil stocks can help reduce introductions. Seeding with competitive grasses and avoiding creation of open, bare areas aids in control. Russian knapweed Acroptilon repens ACRE3 P Prevent seed production, deplete energy reserves in roots. Use an herbicide that translocates to the root system. Apply herbicides in the fall for best results; spring treatment when flowers just start to open is also effective. Repeated mowing to stress plants followed by herbicide treatment in fall may be effective in some areas. Seed with competitive grasses and avoid overgrazing. Russian olive Elaeagnus angustifolia ELAN P Deplete energy reserves in roots. Cut mature trees and treat cut stump immediately with herbicide. Treat stump sprouts for at least 2 years. Mowing of large infestations can be effective; remove all cut material. WestWater Engineering Page 4 of 12 October 2014 Table 1. General noxious weed control methods for species in the nroiect area. Common Name Scientific Name USDA Symbol Type* Control Methods Salt cedar, Tamarisk Tamarix ramosissima TARA P Deplete energy reserves in roots. Cut mature trees and treat cut stump immediately with herbicide. Spray bark of smooth -barked immature trees with herbicide. Treat resprouts for at least 2 years. Biological agents available for large infestations. Spiny plumeless thistleB Carduus acanthoides CAAC 2. Herbicide treatment at bud to bloom stage or in the fall (recommended after August 15 when natural precipitation is present). In the fall plants draw nutrients into the roots for winter storage. Herbicides will be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time due to translocation of nutrients to roots rather than leaves. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time another season of seed production is not as important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in fall (after middle August) will kill the following year's shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time. Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage, spring or summer. Before spraying, remove and bag flower or seed heads from plants that have bolted. Sever root at least 2" below soil level. Whitetop Cardaria draba CADR P Deplete energy reserves in roots. Herbicide treatment in the spring when plants start to bud. Mowing and tillage are not effective. * Type: A = annual; B = biennial; P = perennial; Bold = Garfield County List 3.6 Recommended Treatment Strategies The following treatment strategies are presented for reference. It is important to know whether the weed species being managed is an annual, biennial, or perennial to select strategies that effectively control and eliminate the target. Treatment strategies vary depending on plant type, which are summarized in Table 2. Herbicides should not always be the first treatment of choice when other methods can be effectively employed. Table 2. Treatment Strategies for Noxious Weeds. Annual and Biennial Noxious Weeds Target: Prevent seed production 1. Hand grub (pull), hoe, till, cultivate in rosette stage and before flowering or seed maturity. If flowers or seeds develop, cut and bag seed heads. 2. Cut roots with a spade 2"-3" below soil level. 3. Treat with herbicide in seedling, rosette or bolting stage, before flowering. 4. Mow biennials after bolting stage but before seed set. Mowing annuals will not prevent flowering but can reduce total seed production. Perennial Noxious Weeds Target: Deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed production 1. Allow plants to expend as much energy from root system as possible. Do not treat when first emerging in spring but allow growth to bud/bloom stage. If seeds develop cut and bag if possible. 2. Herbicide treatment at bud to bloom stage or in the fall (recommended after August 15 when natural precipitation is present). In the fall plants draw nutrients into the roots for winter storage. Herbicides will be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time due to translocation of nutrients to roots rather than leaves. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time another season of seed production is not as important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in fall (after middle August) will kill the following year's shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time. 3. Mowing usually is not recommended because the plants will flower anyway, rather, seed production should be reduced. Many studies have shown that mowing perennials and spraying the regrowth is not as effective as spraying without mowing. Effect of mowing is species dependent therefore it is imperative to know the species and its basic biology Timing of application must be done when biologically appropriate, which is not necessarily convenient. WestWater Engineering Page 5of12 October 2014 Table 2. Treatment Strategies for Noxious Weeds. 4. Tillage may or may not be effective or practical. Most perennial roots can sprout from pieces only 0.5 inch — 1.0 inch long. Clean machinery thoroughly before leaving the weed patch. 5. Hand pulling is generally not recommended for perennial species unless you know the plants are seedlings and not established plants. Hand pulling can be effective on small patches but is very labor intensive because it must be done repeatedly. (Sirota 2004) Some weeds, particularly annuals and biennials, can develop resistance to herbicides. The ability of these plants to quickly develop immunity to herbicides, especially when they are used incorrectly, makes the use of proper chemicals at the correct time and in the specified concentration (according to the product label) imperative. Excessive application, either in frequency or concentration, can result in top kill without significantly affecting the root system. Repeated excessive applications may result in resistant phenotypes. 3.7 Noxious Weed Management — Best Management Practices Construction: The following practices should be adopted for any construction project to reduce the costs of noxious weed control and aid in prevention efforts: Prior to delivery to the site, equipment should be cleaned of soils remaining from previous construction sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds. Equipment and material handling should be done on established sites to reduce the area and extent of soil compaction. In all cases, temporary disturbance should be kept to an absolute minimum. Top soil, where present, should be segregated from deeper soils and replaced as top soil on the final grade, a process known as live topsoil handling. If stored longer than one growing season, topsoil stockpiles should be seeded with non-invasive sterile hybrid grasses. Wetland vegetation, if encountered, should be live handled like sod, temporarily watered if necessary, and placed over excavated sub -soil relative to the position from which the wetland sod was removed. Cut-off collars should be placed on all wetland and stream crossings to prevent back washing (seed vector) and to ensure that soil moisture conditions are not impacted after construction so that native plants can re-establish from the existing seed bank. If working in weed infested sites, equipment should be cleaned of potentially seed -bearing soils and vegetative debris prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain. After construction, disturbed areas should be immediately reseeded with an appropriate seed mix. Herbicides: Many of the listed noxious weed species in Colorado can be controlled with commercially available herbicides. Annual and biennial weeds are best controlled at the pre -bud stage after germination or in the spring of the second year. Selective herbicides are recommended to minimize damage to desirable grass species. It is important that applicators adhere to concentrations specified on herbicide containers. Herbicides generally do not work better at higher concentrations. Herbicide failures are frequently related to high concentrations that result in top kill before the active ingredient can be transported to the roots through the nutrient translocation process. If directed on the herbicide label, a surfactant or other adjuvant should be utilized. WestWater Engineering Page 6 of 12 October 2014 Grazing: In the event grazing is allowed in the project area, it should be deferred in reclaimed areas until revegetation of desirable species has been successfully established and seeded plants have had the opportunity to reproduce. Monitoring: Weed treatment areas should be inspected over time to ensure that control methods have been effective to reduce and suppress the identified infestation. Sites should be monitored until the infestations are eliminated. These inspections can then be used to prioritize future weed control efforts. 3.8 Commercial Applicator Recommendations A certified commercial pesticide applicator licensed in rangeland and/or right-of-way/industrial weed control (depending on site characteristics) is a necessary choice for herbicide control efforts. An applicator has the full range of knowledge, skills, equipment, and experience desired when dealing with tough noxious weeds. In addition, the purchase and use of restricted use herbicides requires a Colorado pesticide applicator license. 4.0 REVEGETATION — RECLAMATION The following recommendations provide project specific methods for reclamation of this site based on soil types and vegetative communities present. Topsoil Handling Proper handling and storage of topsoil is critical to successful revegetation, especially in the case of reestablishing important native plant species on disturbed areas. The topsoil contains soil microbes (bacteria, micorrhiza, invertebrates) and viable seed banks of the native plants present on the site. Many native plant species depend upon the activity of soil microbes for germination in some instances and for establishment and survival of most seedlings. Topsoil should be stripped and segregated from other soil horizons removed from the trench to prevent mixing. Topsoil should also be salvaged from under the spoil storage area. The storage pile should be left with table slopes and be positioned to minimize exposure to wind and water erosion and should include breaks in the stockpiles at drainage crossings to allow drainage where flow is anticipated. Topsoil piles stored for long periods of time should be seeded to provide cover to reduce erosion, provide competition for weed species, and to maintain viability of the soil fungi and microbe communities. Several fast germinating sterile cover crops ("Regreen" and "Quickguard") are commercially available that should be used for short period storage of topsoil. Although not expected, topsoil stored for more than one growing season the stockpile should be seeded with the recommended seed mixes as described in Appendix C. Using the recommended seed mixes on long-term storage piles will help maintain biological activity and provide a seed bank of viable seed. If long-term stockpiling or deep stockpiling cannot be avoided, application of micorrhizal inoculants (see section below) may be beneficial. The alignment should be returned to its natural grade and contour to blend the ROW into the surrounding landscape and to reestablish natural drainage patterns. The stockpiled topsoil should be uniformly spread after construction has been completed. Soil Preparation Compaction can reduce water infiltration and also hinder the penetration of the sprouting seed. Practices that will reduce compaction and prepare the seedbed include: scarification, tillage, or harrowing (Colorado Natural Areas Program et al. 1998). No special soil preparation techniques are anticipated to be necessary as soil compaction should not be an issue along the pipeline alignment if typical topsoil management practices for projects of this nature are employed. WestWater Engineering Page 7 of 12 October 2014 Soil Amendments Soil amendments for reclamation using fertilizer containing nitrogen can disproportionately benefit undesirable annual plants (Perry et al. 2010). If the proponent determines the use of soil amendments to be beneficial, the type and rate should be based on chemical analysis of soil samples near the site. Application of 500 to 800 lbs/ac of Sustane 4-6-4 organic fertilizer, or a similar product, is a generic starting point for soil amendments in this region. A potentially beneficial alternative method to enhance reclamation success, particularly where there is poor or destroyed topsoil, is the application of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These fungi, mostly of the genus Glomus, are symbiotic with about 80 percent of all vegetation. Endo- mycorrhizal fungi are associated mostly with grasses and forbs and could be helpful in reclamation. In symbiosis, the fungi can increase water and nutrient transfer capacity of the host root system (Barrow and McCaslin 1995). Over-the-counter commercial products are available, and the best products should contain more than one fungus species. Seed Mixture With proper topsoil handling the pipeline disturbance should revegetate well. The pipeline corridor will affect multiple landowners with varying land management goals and seed mixes should be coordinated with the landowners. The recommended seed mix provided in Appendix C is well suited for the project area and consists of perennial native grasses and forbs that should establish well, protect topsoil, and provide a basis for rehabilitation for the site upon reclamation. Seeding Methods Drill seeding would be the most appropriate and economical method for seeding the majority of the project area. Hydroseeding or hand -broadcast seeding at twice the recommended drill seed rate is recommended for areas where drill seeding is deemed to be ineffective, impractical, or dangerous. Mulching Crimped weed -free straw mulch would be the most cost effective and practical method of mulching areas prone to erosion after drill seeding this site. No mulching is recommended for areas that are hydroseeded. Potential detrimental effects of mulching include the introduction of weed species and the establishment of non-native cereal grains. Use of a certified weed -free sterile wheat hybrid straw would limit these effects. BMPs Excelsior wattles or straw bales at water discharge points would be appropriate to help control water velocity flowing off the alignment during storm runoff. Terracing slopes near or exceeding 3:1 will reduce erosion, benefitting topsoil and seed retention and thereby improving revegetation success. 5.0 WETLANDS and WATERS of the U.S. Riparian areas and wetlands, although small in comparison to the remainder of the project, can require special considerations for minimization and mitigation of impacts, as well as successful revegetation. Such areas that could be affected by this project were documented during surveys (Figure 2; Appendix D). Aerial photographs and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24,000 topographic maps were examined for perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral streams, marked wetlands, and drainages (ACOE 2007). Mapped wetlands and waters, along with other areas of interest, were verified during pedestrian surveys of the project area and locations were recorded with hand held GPS units. All blue line streams were recorded whether or not they exhibited an Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). Blue line channels with no OHWM did not show signs of flow (i.e., defined channel, water marks, debris deposits, etc.); however, WestWater Engineering Page 8 of 12 October 2014 these drainages are indicated as intermittent channels on the USGS topographic map and are considered WOUS for pre jurisdictional determination purposes. A pre -construction notification (PCN) is required for utility line activities crossing perennial waters and/or a special aquatic site, including wetlands, in the Colorado River basin (ACOE 2012). Efforts should be made to avoid or minimize impacts to perennial waters and wetlands. Boring (directional utility installation) is a good method to avoid impacts. If direct impacts are necessary, precautions should be taken to protect the integrity of perennial stream and associated riparian ecosystems within the project area. Best Management Practices (BMPs), including adequate barriers and filtration methods, should be used to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation of perennial streams and riparian areas. The construction area of disturbance should be minimized at all crossing to reduce the impacts to affected wetland environments. Wetlands are characterized by hydric soils, which develop as a result of an area being saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic (oxygen -deficient) conditions (USGS 2011). In wetland areas topsoil (the top 12 inches of soil) and wetland vegetation outside the trench line and graded areas, should be removed and set aside from other soils until the pipeline trench is backfilled and the pipeline crossing re-contoured. Wetland vegetation should be cut off at ground level, leaving existing root systems intact, and the remaining sod should be removed from the wetlands and placed in a separate stockpile from other soils. The following protective measures should be used when crossing and/or working near wetland areas: Wetland boundaries should be clearly marked in the field with highly visible flagging and signs until construction and ground disturbing activities are completed. Sediment barriers and BMPs should be installed across the entire construction ROW immediately upslope of the wetland boundary at all wetland crossings to prevent sediment flow into the wetland. Where the construction ROW passes through wetlands, sediment barriers should be installed along the edge of the construction ROW, as necessary, to contain spoil and sediment within the construction ROW. Equipment mats should be used under vehicles and construction equipment at all times while working in wetland areas to minimize disturbance to wetland soils. Wetland vegetation should be stockpiled no longer than 48 hours, if feasible. If wetland soils are stockpiled for longer than 48 hours the soils should be kept wet until returned to wetland areas. Stockpiled wetland soils should be piled no deeper than 2 feet. During wetland crossings, actively flowing water channels within wetlands should be flumed so as not to be impeded. Once the channel has been restored to its original contours and wetland soils are placed back (first out/last in) then wetland vegetation should re-establish in areas identified as wetlands in Figure 2and Appendix D, and no seeding is recommended in these areas.

The EERP is applicable to emergencies that may occur at the Site and is intended for use by all Ursa Resources Group II ("Company") personnel, contractors, consultants, and sub -contractors. This plan is intended to minimize the potential for injury, loss of life and/or property, and to define the responsibilities of Ursa Resources' personnel during emergency situations. In the event of an emergency, it is necessary to establish immediate coordination with local responders, with Ursa corporate officials, and with Ursa representatives in Rifle, Colorado. A contingency plan shall be implemented, as needed, to meet local responders' requirements and response capabilities. Emergency procedures will be updated as needed for all potential incidents, including wildfire, structural fire, explosion, toxic gas leaks, acid or caustic spills into primary water sources, weather disturbances and civil unrest. Procedures will include details on communications, firefighting, medical, security, evacuation resumption of operations or others as required by the situation and as directed by site supervision. In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.38, this Emergency Action Plan will be kept in at the workplace and readily available to all employees. All personnel will be trained on this policy at the time of hire and any time changes are made thereafter. 2.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This section identifies the roles and responsibilities of project personnel and off-site response organizations crucial to handling an emergency.

Revision 01 June 2015 3.5 St. Mary's CareFlight Helicopter In case of a life threatening situation requiring immediate medical attention, the responding EMT or Paramedic will determine if CareFlight Helicopter Services are necessary. 4.0 COORDINATION WITH OFF-SITE RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS Effective coordination with off-site organizations will result in effective response to any emergency situation. Training and drills as described in Sections 7.0 and 8.0, respectively, should be periodically made available to off-site emergency response organizations. Under the direction of the Site Manager or Site Safety Officer, a project representative will participate in local emergency planning committee meetings when possible. Ursa Resources recognizes that close coordination with response organizations continuously improves emergency responses by enhancing communication, site familiarity, and lessons learned for all involved. 5.0 CONTINGENCY PLANNING The objective of contingency planning is to prepare for emergency responses. It includes coordinating with emergency response organizations, describing actions during emergencies, conducting training, and performing drills. The Project Coordinator, Site Manager, or Site Safety Officer will coordinate drills and plan for emergencies while synchronizing Ursa's efforts with off- site emergency response organizations. In order to properly prepare for an emergency response, project personnel shall: • Communicate to the Incident Commander that an emergency is in progress. • Recognize the hazards in the area potentially affected by the emergency. • Know what to do and what not to do. • Understand warning sounds and alarms. • Know where to assemble. The Company will provide first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and automated external defibrillator (AED) training to the level of First Responder consistent with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.151(b). One individual on each shift at the Battlement Mesa location shall be trained to this level. 6.0 TRAINING The Company maintains training programs to ensure personnel are adequately trained and prepared for the work they perform and for potential emergencies. Company personnel, contractors, and consultants who regularly work at the Battlement Mesa Site must receive training on the current EERP. Specific training is provided to workers who have special duties during emergencies, such as the Battlement Mesa Site Supervisor and Site Operator who may need to respond directly to an incident. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 10 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Site visitors and vendors will be accompanied by trained site personnel and shall log in upon arrival and sign out when leaving. Site -designated First Responders will train and practice procedures for any site EMS responses and off-site emergency responses. Off-site response organizations should be offered training on site hazards; potential injuries and/or illnesses that could result from contamination by contact, ingestion, or inhalation of toxic substances present on site; and contamination risks associated with fires, explosions, or other releases of materials located on site. This training, along with a site tour, shall be offered annually by the Company. 7.0 DRILLS Annual on-site drills shall be conducted to practice emergency response protocol and evaluate those responses. Such drills shall simulate a variety of emergencies and may involve a single field crew, the entire site personnel, and/or off-site emergency response organizations. Drills may also involve detailed coordination and physical role-playing to establish familiarity with these procedures. Drills help improve the Emergency Response process by addressing opportunities for improvement within the Emergency Response System used at this Site. 8.0 EMERGENCY ACTIONS For the purpose of this plan, an emergency is considered to be any condition which requires assistance over and above that which can be supplied by the normal personnel present at the time or which cannot be handled in a routine manner. All emergency situations are unique and present various conditions. Always evaluate the situation before deciding on a course of action. Ursa Resources representatives must ensure that all site personnel do not "rush in" until the following has been considered: • Is there an immediate threat to life from fire, explosion, structure collapse, chemical spill or release? If so, sound the alarm and evacuate. • Is there an immediate potential for release of toxic (poisonous) chemicals or fumes in the air? If so, evacuate uphill and upwind of the release. • Is there an immediate potential for uncontrollable energy release (pressure), electrical shock, chemical spill, fuel to "feed" a fire? If so, de -energize equipment, disconnect power, engage emergency shut off valves to pumps and fuel sources; but only do so if the action will not cause a more serious problem or endanger someone. • Eliminate sources of ignition by shutting down all other powered equipment, including vehicles, pumps, construction equipment, welding equipment, combustors, separator burners, auxiliary generators, power tools, etc. that may be on site at the time. • When in doubt, sound the alarm, evacuate, and call for help. With regard to any emergency observed at the work site, the immediate supervisor must be contacted and the nature of the emergency reported. 8.1 Actions Common to All Emergencies Emergency Response actions should account for life safety first, the environment second, and lastly, property (Ursa or non -Ursa). The steps below should be considered during any emergency: Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 11 of 35 1jP u RE50UPRCE5 GROUII EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 • Survey the scene for personal safety. If the area is deemed unsafe, re -locate. • Warn others in the area using whatever means are available (e.g., voice, telephone, radio, portable sirens, car horn). • Implement chain of command notification for an organized response. • Survey the scene and determine resources needed by emergency personnel. • Stop or secure the operation causing the emergency, but only if safe to do so. • Minimize exposure to potential hazardous conditions as part of the emergency. • Identify other hazards present (e.g., the potential for fire or explosion.) • Isolate the area and establish control boundaries, if possible. • Contact and direct emergency response organizations to the scene as necessary. • At no time should an emergency response be performed if the Incident Commander determines the area is unsafe for personnel to enter. Good communication is essential for effective emergency responses. The simple warning system described in Table 8-1 will be used to notify personnel of an emergency. This warning system shall be tested at least annually by the Site Safety Officer. Upon notification of an emergency, the Site Safety Officer will notify the Project Coordinator. Notifications to agencies and organizations will be determined by the Project Coordinator. Supplemental actions will be determined by the on-site Incident Commander and carried out as quickly possible after immediate actions are addressed. All Battlement Mesa employees must be able to identify hazards in the immediate area and be aware of alarm notification procedures. Table 8-1 below describes the alarm method using a handheld air horn. DO NOT use vehicle horns if potential for ignition exists. Battlement Mesa personnel should be trained to recognize these alarms. 8.1.1 Table 8-1 Warning Signals and Actions ACTION WARNING SIGNAL ATTENTION (Emergency Event) EVACUATION SHELTER IN PLACE 8.1.1 Site Safet Kit 1. Continuously blast horn for 5 seconds. Repeat three times with a 5 -second pause in between. 2. Supervisor must then radio employees to communicate further instructions to all personnel. 1. Makefive 10 -second blasts with horn, with 5 - second pauses in between each blast. Repeat two times. 2. Immediately evacuate to the designated assembly area for personnel accountability. 1. Continuously blast horn for thirty seconds. Repeat one time if necessary with a 5 -second pause in between. 2. Immediately proceed to shelter -in-place and proceed with emergency preparations as indicated herein. The Battlement Mesa Site Safety Officer shall maintain a safety kit specifically designed for that site. It shall be available for transport to an emergency location. The kit should include, at a minimum: Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 12 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION • First response bags/first aid kits. • AED (available for trained personnel only). • Eye wash kit. • Spill response materials such as absorbent pillows, vermiculite, etc. • Minimum 20 Ib. ABC fire extinguisher. • Spotlight/flashlights. 8.2 Additional Information for Specific Emergencies Additional information for specific emergencies includes: • Bomb or Terrorist Threats • Explosions • Evacuations • Fires • Floods • Earthquakes • Severe Storms • Power Failure • Material or Chemical Spills • Medical Emergencies • Public Disturbances • Transportation/Vehicle Incidents • Special Actions at the Pond Site • Shelter in Place Revision 01 June 2015 8.2.1 Bomb or Terrorist Threats If a bomb threat is received, stay calm. It is important to keep the caller on the line to obtain as much information as possible. Someone other than the call recipient should notify the Project Coordinator or Site Manager of the threat while the caller is still on the line. A bomb threat may be followed by a site evacuation depending on information obtained from the caller. 8.2.2 Explosions If flammable natural gases or liquids are released, the following action should be taken immediately: • Evacuate all personnel from area. • Shut down all running equipment. • Close all valves upstream and downstream of leak. • Ca11 911. • Contact appropriate Ursa personnel and implement notification chain of command. • Follow instructions in "Fire" section in case of a fire. • If personnel are injured, apply first aid as trained to do so and transport them to nearest medical facility, if possible. Otherwise, wait for emergency responders to arrive. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 13 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 8.2.3 Evacuations Depending on the emergency, personnel shall evacuate to a location upwind and uphill, if possible. Personnel shall meet at the designated safe area and a head count will be taken by the supervisor or designee to ensure that everyone is accounted for. A call for an evacuation may be restricted to a specific work area or executed for the entire site. Area evacuations can be ordered by any Company employee, contractor, subcontractor, or others during an emergency. A site -wide evacuation may be authorized by the Project Coordinator, Site Manager, Site Safety Officer, and/or Incident Commander. All buildings, truck bays, and tank farms must be evacuated if the fire alarm sounds or if authorized personnel orders an evacuation. Never ignore an emergency alarm. Evacuation beyond muster points may be required. The Incident Commander will direct evacuation beyond muster areas to an area of safe refuge. When instructed to evacuate, proceed with the following: • Implement emergency shut -down procedures by activating the emergency shut-off valves on all equipment. • Identify the direction of the wind by observing the direction of the wind sock and evacuate immediately cross or upwind of the affected area to the designated assembly area or muster point. • Follow the primary exit route. If the designated route or assembly point is not accessible or safe due to wind direction, proceed to a secondary or alternate assembly area as designated herein or by the Incident Commander. • If primary exit is blocked or unable to be reached, choose secondary evacuation route. • All radio traffic should cease except for those authorized to broadcast emergency information on the main radio channel. A radio channel may be designated for supervisors to communicate with an emergency coordinator or a Company representative. • Assist injured persons evacuating the site as needed and if able and trained to do so. DO NOT CAUSE MORE HARM AND DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER VICTIM BY RUSHING INTO A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT. • All engine -driven equipment should be shut down and engines turned off. Keys should be left in the ignition. • Vehicles should be parked and clear of traffic lanes and access routes. Emergency vehicles and personnel must have clear access to the location. • Move to the predetermined muster point away from the incident. • If individuals are ignoring the alarm, warn them to evacuate immediately. Do not get involved in an altercation, but notify the supervisor immediately of the location of these employees. • Do not reenter the work area until directed to do so by authorized personnel or after the "All Clear" signal has been given by the Site Supervisor. 8.2.3.1 Assembly Areas/Muster Point Assembly areas are designated safe refuge zones during a site emergency. If prevailing winds put either the primary or secondary muster point downwind Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 14 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 of the accident site, workers will be directed via radio or cell phone to an alternative area. All personnel must be aware of the primary and secondary muster points, even if they are NOT marked. PRIMARY MUSTER POINT SECONDARY MUSTER POINT South Entrance Gate at Access Road to the East of Staging Area. South and West of Entrance Gate on the access road across from the Staging Area. HELICOPTER LANDING ZONE South of the Site, across the access road, on relatively flat ground with no overhead obstructions or trees. Power lines lie to the north of the site and do not cross this area. 8.2.3.2 Evacuation Routes Evacuation routes will be clearly communicated to all personnel by postings or radio directives as mandated by changing conditions. As stated above, the primary evacuation route shall follow the access road that leads away from the site and towards Stone Quarry Road to the north of the location. If conditions warrant, this evacuation route shall be revised to account for upwind possibilities that are safer than traveling downslope along the access road during certain emergency situations. The Incident Commander and Site Safety Supervisor will determine if a change in the primary evacuation route is mandated. • Evacuation routes shall be upwind of any hot zone or exclusion zone and windsocks shall be visible to all site personnel to determine which exit route to take during evacuation. • Travel south or west away from the staging area and the on or offloading area of the site. • If the primary evacuation route is unusable, workers shall be directed via radio to an alternate route. The Project Coordinator or Site Manager will ensure evacuation routes are rehearsed as a part of regularly conducted site emergency drills. 8.2.3.3 Personnel Accountability The Incident Commander or Safety Officer shall use an accountability list to account for all personnel. The accountability list shall be based off the Site's daily sign-in/sign-out log or sheet. A count of all personnel shall be done at the muster point. The names of missing and/or unaccounted for personnel must be delivered to the Project Coordinator as soon as possible. CAUTION: Searches for missing personnel shall be conducted only if possible to do so safely. No personnel shall conduct a search in dangerous conditions. Ursa Resources Group, II PAGE 15 of 35 00ursa RE50UPRCE5 GROUII EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 8.2.4 Fire The objective is to take actions that might reduce the consequences of a fire in the event one occurs at the Pond Site. When a fire alarm sounds, leave immediately. Instruct all employees to leave the area immediately as you evacuate and notify the supervisor. Be aware of individuals who may need assistance. Do not reenter the site until directed to do so by authorized personnel. 8.2.4.1 Extinguishable Fire (Incipient Stage) • Report the fire by activating the nearest fire alarm. • Use a fire extinguisher in your area to extinguish the fire, if trained to do so. • Use the PASS system: a. P u I I the safety pin. b. A i m — Remove the hose and aim the nozzle toward the fire. c. Squeeze — Holding the handle, squeeze the trigger. d. Sweep — Extinguish the fire in a sweeping motion, from left to right. • Immediately report the incident to the supervisor. • Rule of thumb: If you have already discharged one 20-30 pound fire extinguisher at the base of a fire and have made no impact on the fire, then it is beyond the incipient stage and steps in Section 8.2.3.2 below must then be followed. 8.2.4.2 Non -Extinguishable Fire • Report the fire by activating the nearest fire alarm and contacting the supervisor on duty. • Call 911 and give all needed information, referencing the emergency numbers listed herein. • Conduct an emergency shut down and evacuate the area. If a potential wildfire breaks out, the most important thing is accountability. First notify someone of the fire. Second, call the Garfield County 911 Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 16 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Dispatch immediately. The sooner 911 is dispatched, the quicker the response time. All fires on federal lands require immediate notification to applicable Ursa personnel. If the fire cannot be put out by the fire extinguisher in the incipient stage, it is time to evacuate the area immediately. 8.2.5 Flood Floods are unlikely to affect operations at the Battlement Mesa Site. Flood conditions will most likely occur from runoff associated with thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow melting, or broken pipelines. It could also occur if any pipelines or on-site tanks break. The actions taken in the event of a flood will depend upon the amount of warning received before a flood actually occurs. Flooding associated with thunderstorms can result in rapid increase in flow in drainages and flow into the pond. Stay away and out of that area. In the event of such conditions, notify the Site Safety Officer. Flooded roadways may be encountered while traveling to or from the jobsite. Drive with care and never attempt to drive through flooded road sections. 8.2.6 Earthquake The likelihood of an earthquake at or near Western Colorado is highly unlikely. This information is provided for awareness only. Be prepared for additional aftershocks. They are usually smaller, but can cause additional damage or bring weakened structures down. Do not attempt to move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Report the location of the injured person to emergency personnel. 8.2.6.1 Indoors • Stay inside. Falling debris can cause serious injury outside. • Take cover under a sturdy desk, table, or other furniture, in a supported doorway, or along an inside wall. • Stay as far away from glass and windows as possible. • Extinguish open flames and do not use lighters, matches, or candles, due to possible gas leaks. • After tremors have ceased, leave the building until structural safety can be assessed. Do not enter any building until structural integrity can be verified. 8.2.6.2 Outdoors Move away from buildings and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the tremors have stopped. 8.2.6.1 Moving Vehicle • Stop as quickly as safety permits. Remain in the vehicle. • When tremors stop, drive carefully and watch for falling objects, downed electrical lines, and broken or undermined roadways. 8.2.7 Severe Storms Colorado weather at all times of the year can be unpredictable. To prepare for contradictory conditions, personnel shall monitor news and weather reports for forecasts. Supervisors should be warned of threatening conditions. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 17 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Ursa will keep supervisors informed of the changing conditions and the effects of weather on operations. Supervisors will subsequently inform all employees. Supervisors will look at the difference in the drive time to and from the work site due to severe weather and adjust accordingly, if necessary. Supervisors will also review the appropriate PPE for the particular weather condition and inform all employees of any necessary changes. 8.2.7.1 Tornado or Severe Lightning • If a tornado or severe lightning is seen, sound the alarm and evacuate. • Seek shelter away from the pond, trailers, and vehicles. • Get low to the ground, away from trees, preferably in a ditch or depression if no likelihood of flash flooding exists in the area. • If time allows, notify others of your location and situation. • Do not attempt to outrun severe weather or flash floods. • Do not park beneath tress and avoid exposed areas such as ridgelines and natural washes. • Seek shelter if available, otherwise stay in vehicle. • If caught out of your vehicle, proceed downhill to a less exposed side slope location. Avoid trees, fences, large rocks. Squat in the open on the balls of our feet with y our head down. Cover ears with hands, elbows in, and wait the situation out. • Never attempt to walk or drive across flooded roads or ditches. 8.2.7.2 Blizzard • Tune into and monitor local weather radio or news broadcasts. • When blizzard has been issued, immediately notify office and field personnel that may be affected. • Inform others to tune into weather broadcasts and stay abreast of possible conditions and/or weather changes in their area. • Inform personnel if blizzard is underway. • Ifstranded in blizzard conditions, notify others of deteriorating conditions along with your location and situation before communications are lost. • DO NOT leave your vehicle unless absolutely necessary. Assure exhaust pipe is clear of obstructions (such as snow buildup) and run engine only when needed, so fuel is conserved. • If stranded away from vehicle or if necessary to abandon it, seek shelter in a stable structure and wait for help to arrive. If shelter is not available, build a snow cave and wait for help. If caught outside of shelter, build a fire if possible. • Tray and stay dry. Change to dry and weather resistant gear. • If caught with more than one person in a blizzard, DO NOT SEPARATE. Provide assistance to others if you are capable. • Do not attempt to walk off the mountain during blizzard conditions. 8.2.8 Power Failure If there is a power failure at the Battlement Mesa Site, proceed with the following steps: • Switch off all equipment being used to prevent injury when power returns. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 18 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 • Ensure all other equipment or switches are turned off to prevent possible damage to equipment from power surges when power is restored. • Notify the supervisor in charge of your actions due to the power failure. After the power has been restored, check your area and report any equipment or other damage to your supervisor. Verify that all electronics are up and running, and report any discrepancies. 8.2.9 Material or Chemical Release and/or Spills Actions in the event of a spill of petroleum products or toxic materials, including condensate and process water, will be provided in Ursa Resource's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan for the Battlement Mesa Site. Notify all employees and other appropriate personnel of the spill and any chemicals involved. All employees will comply with the Company's personal protective equipment policy for any chemicals they are using or to which they may be exposed at the Site in the event of a spill. 8.2.10 Medical Emergencies While all employees are responsible for immediate action in response to a medical emergency, no employee is required to provide first aid for which he or she has not been trained or if uneasy about doing so. Occasionally accidents will happen where individuals, including the victim, will assume that no injury has occurred and that no medical attention is required. If symptoms become evident later, an Incident Report needs to be filled out and turned into the supervisor on duty. The injury incident will then be investigated and analyzed for root causes to mitigate or eliminate hazards that led to the incident. Different procedures for varying degrees of medical emergencies shall be utilized by site personnel when responding to a medical emergency. 8.2.10.1 Life Threatening EXAMPLES: Unconsciousness, inability to move, potential spinal injuries, seriously broken bones, uncontrollable bleeding, heart attack, stroke, inability to breath, etc. • Do not move the victim unless he or she is in a life-threatening situation or environment. Render first aid applicable to your training and abilities. • Call for emergency help and reference the emergency phone numbers listed herein. If necessary, send someone to meet emergency personnel and bring them to the victim's location. • Notify supervisor immediately and report the following: - Name of victim. Date and time of injury. - Description and/or circumstances of the injury. Brief summary of what happened and include actions taken as a result. Names of witnesses. - Conditions of the site or location of injury. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 19 of 35 8.2.10.2 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Need for Incident Report Form. Revision 01 June 2015 Non -Life Threatening EXAMPLES: cuts, abrasions, sprains, fainting, simple fractures, etc.) • Immediately contact medical services by referencing emergency phone numbers. Render first aid applicable to your training and abilities. • Notify the supervisor of the injury and report the following: - Name of victim Date and time of injury. Description and/or circumstances of the injury. Brief summary of what happened and include actions taken as a result. - Names of witnesses Conditions of the site or location of injury. Need for Incident Report Form. 8.2.10.3 General Basic guidelines for medical emergencies: • Make sure it is safe to be in the victim's area; • Call 911 and request an ambulance. Provide the following information: Number and location of victim(s); Nature of injury or illness; - Hazards involved; and, - Nearest entrance (emergency access point.) • Alert trained employees to respond to the victim's location and bring a first aid kit and/or AED. • Notify the Site Supervisor or Site Manager. • Only trained responders/personnel shall provide first aid and assistance. • Never move a victim in need of medical assistance unless: Directed by a competent medical authority. - The injury will not be aggravated or complicated by a move. Greater physical harm to the victim likely if not moved from current location. Wound severity is life-threatening. • Take "universal precautions" to prevent contact with bodily fluids and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. • Meet the ambulance at the nearest entrance or emergency access point and direct them to the victim(s). Never delay EMS access to the scene while applying administrative controls or prescribing personal protective equipment. Decontamination of victims, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, and any associated equipment and materials will be performed in proportion to the nature and severity of the medical emergency. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 20 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 8.2.11 Public Disturbance Actions A public disturbance is defined as a demonstration by activists or a threat to operations on the Battlement Mesa Site. Public disturbances can take the form of events that may serve to: • Disrupt Company, contractor, or subcontractor operations. • Adversely affect Company or contractor properties. • Jeopardize the safety and health of Company, contractor, or subcontractor employees. • Adversely affect the reputation or public image of the Company. • Threaten or cause bodily injury or hazardous material exposure to the general public. If there is no immediate threat to personal safety, the Project Coordinator or Site Manager will work with the corporate and off-site emergency response organization(s) to determine the appropriate response actions needed to safeguard personnel and property during a public disturbance, as they often occur with little or no warning. 8.2.12 Transportation or Vehicle Incidents A vehicle collision is defined as any vehicle contact or damage requiring repairs to a Company vehicle, another vehicle, and injury to a pedestrian, animal, or third -party, or damage to Company property. 8.2.12.1 8.2.12.2 Vehicle Accident • STOP. NEVER LEAVE THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT. • Obtain help for injured persons. • Notify policy and a Company supervisor. • Obtain necessary information at the scene. Exchange only driver's license number and insurance information with other driver. DO NOT make commitments. State the collision will be reported to your company. Any liability will be determined by the Company and its insurance carrier. DO NOT express opinions or become involved in arguments. • Have witnesses provide address and telephone numbers. • If injury results from a vehicle accident, an injury report must be completed. Transportation Incident A transportation incident is an emergency event involving vehicle/truck transport of operation materials (such as sludge, acids, bases, or polymers) being delivered to, or shipped from, the Battlement Mesa Site. • If an injury requiring immediate medical attention occurs, or if there is a potential for impact to the environment that cannot be contained with a small spill kit or hand tools, the incident will be handled by off-site response organizations. • The carrier used for transportation incidents shall be included in all accident investigations involving their transport vehicles. • Conveyanceor transportation employee/staffshall be trained to minimize the contamination of property by inspecting shipping Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 21 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 equipment for any leaking material, signs of damage or excess wear prior to its use. • Conveyance or transportation employee/staff shall be trained to respond to an emergency without endangering personal safety. • Shipping personnel will immediately notify the Site Manager or Site Safety Officer and/or the off-site emergency response organizations of the potentially hazardous emergency and the possible threat to the public's health and safety, the potential impact to the environment, and any possible or impending damage to property. • The Project Coordinator, Site Manager, Site Safety Officer, or the conveyance company will coordinate contractor emergency response cleanup support as needed. NOTE: If the amount of material spilled exceeds the reportable quantity (RQ) as defined in the Hazardous Substance/RQ Table by the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Response Center will be contacted by the Project Coordinator within twenty- four (24) hours of the incident at 800-424-8802. 8.2.13 Media Response No personnel will talk to any media representative without prior approval. All comments will be referred to the Ursa Resources Operating Company representative or the Corporate Office in Denver. Employees shall state "no comment" to any media questions posed to them. 8.2.14 Shelter in Place If chemical, biological, or radiological contaminants are released into the environment in such quantity and/or proximity to the rig site, it may be safer to remain indoors, or shelter - in -place, rather than to evacuate. Such releases may be either accidental or intentional. "Shelter -in-place" means selecting a building with few windows, or none at all, in which to take refuge. In many cases, local authorities will issue advice to shelter -in-place via TV or radio. Use common sense and available information to determine if this type of refuge is necessary. In any emergency, local authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. If large amounts of debris are in the air, or if local authorities say the air is badly contaminated, a shelter -in- place order should be issued by the Incident Commander. To shelter -in-place, follow these instructions: • Lock exterior doors and close windows, air vents and other openings. • Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems where present. • If there is danger of explosion, cover windows to protect against flying glass and debris. • Use duct tape and plastic sheeting to seal all windows, doors and vents. • Gather essential disaster supplies such as food, bottled water, battery -powered radios, first aid supplies, etc. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 22 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 • Write down names of everyone in the room and contact Ursa's designated emergency contact to report who is in the room with you and their affiliation with the business. • Avoid overcrowding and do not select a room with mechanical equipment like ventilation blowers or pipes because that equipment may not be able to be sealed properly. • Call emergency contacts and have phone available to report a life threatening condition, if necessary. • Listen to radio, etc., for further information and additional emergency notifications. 9.0 WILDFIRE MITIGATION MEASURES The predominant causes of wildfire are lightning, recreational activities, residents, industry activities (industry category is ranked the third highest human -caused ignition source), railroads or other agents. A contributing factor that poses additional risk to oil and gas installations are traveling embers from existing fires that are carried on the wind and can ignite upon contacting structures and uncontrolled vegetation. Radiant heat from wildfires also poses a risk to structures and personnel at oil sites. Smoke from wildfires can affect evacuation routes and staging areas. Thus, any emergency response plan specifically addressing wildfires must take into account the following: Increased safety for personnel; Reduced risk to industry infrastructure from wildfires; More secure production schedules less likely to be disrupted in the event of a wildfire; Reduced liability from wildfires caused by the oil and gas industry; Increased environmental stewardship and overall corporate responsibility. In addition, several factors affect a site's susceptibility to wildfire hazards and the potential for wildfires to be fueled by site installations. By assessing structures, vegetation, power lines, equipment used on site, and work tasks conducted on site, Ursa Resources has evaluated the Battlement Mesa Site and created the measures herein for dealing with wildfire risk and potential occurrence. 9.1 Definitions CONIFEROUS VEGETATION FUEL TYPE — Any of various needle -leaved (mostly) or scale -leaved, chiefly evergreen, cone -bearing trees or shrubs such as pines, spruces, and firs. DEBRIS — The woody or herbaceous material which results from vegetation clearing operations. DECIDUOUS VEGETATION FUEL TYPE — Typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally, and other plant structures that shed (such as petals or seed structures) after flowering or fruit when ripe. EMBER TRANSPORT — Embers or fire brands are produced as trees and other combustible objects burn. These embers carry in the atmosphere and by winds over long distances. Hot embers ultimately come to rest and may ignite surfaces far removed from a fire, thus resulting in fire spread. This process is commonly referred to as spotting. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 23 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 FIRE BEHAVIOR — The manner in which fuel ignites, flame develops and fire spreads as determined by the interaction of fuels, weather, and topography. FIRE HAZARD — A hazard based on physical fuel characteristics, such as fuel arrangement, fuel load, condition of herbaceous vegetation and presence of elevated fuels. A general term to describe the potential fire behavior without regards to the state of weather influenced fuel moisture content and/or resistance to fireguard construction for a given fuel type. FIRE OCCURRENCE — The number of fires started in a given area over a given period of time. FUEL BREAK — An existing barrier or change in fuel type (to one that is less flammable) or a wide strip of land in which the native vegetation and topography has been modified or cleared to act as a buffer to fire spread so that fires can be more readily controlled. A strategically planned barrier, either manually or mechanically constructed that is intended to stop or slow down the rate of fire spread and from which suppression action can be carried out to control a fire. LADDER FUELS — Vegetation that will help carry a surface fire up to the tree crown/tops that result in a crown fire (typically in coniferous fuel types.) HAZARD REDUCTION — Treatment of living or dead forest fuels to diminish the likelihood of a fire starting and to lessen the potential rate of spread. MINERAL SOIL — Non-organic soil. MITIGATION — Action that decreases the severity of a fire hazard or risk. MIXED WOOD VEGETATION FUEL TYPE — A `mixed' forest in which two or more tree species are predominant in the canopy. RADIANT HEAT TRANSFER — Heat transfer to the surrounding environment through radiation. RISK FROM WILDFIRE — The potential of loss from wildfire that can be calculated by multiplying damage or loss by uncertainty of occurrence and contributing factors. SUPPRESSION CAPABILITY — The factors and limitations that are related to the ability to contain a wildfire upon detection in order to protect values at risk. STAGING AREA—A location at an incident where resources can be placed while awaiting tactical assignment. Also used to describe an area where tasks are conducted that may be dangerous or hazardous if performed on-site or near installations. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 24 of 35 0>tirsa, RE50UPRCE5 GROUII EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 VALUES AT RISK — The specific or collective set of natural resources and man-made improvements/developments that have measurable or intrinsic worth that could be destroyed or otherwise altered by fire in any given area. WICKING — Vegetation connectivity or pattern that contributes to an increase in fire spread. WILDFIRE — Any unwanted or unplanned wildland fire that burns in forested or grassland areas. 9.2 Structures and Ignition Potential The distance between structures and flammable vegetation can affect structural ignition potential through ember transport or radiant heat exposure to structures or vegetation. It's important to note that a wildfire will burn more rapidly and intensely on slopes compared to flat or level ground. As a result, structures on or adjacent to a slope with vegetation below are more susceptible to wildfires and face a significantly higher probability of ignition due to heat exposure. The radius around structures must be assessed according to the structure's materials, flammable storage units (e.g., hydrocarbon storage tanks), and on-site vegetation. The roof of a structure is the most vulnerable component for fire ignition and the main cause of structural losses during a fire. Embers and flaming debris from wind -driven fires can travel great distances, and embers landing on a combustible roof surface can start a new fire. Flammable material storage on site, such as hydrocarbons or propane tanks, also creates additional threats to structures based on: 1. Presence or absence of hydrocarbons on site; 2. Flammable material rating; 3. Potential for accumulation of airborne embers on tanks; and, 4. Distance from storage sites to forest vegetation. Structures with metal, tile, asphalt, or non-combustible materials, such as concrete or metal siding, and that have no eaves or contain screened vents with openings turned down, possess the lowest flammability risk. Those with wood or vinyl siding and/or open eaves and no soil or metal covers at the base of the structure where embers can be trapped, pose the highest flammability risk. The location of petroleum products and combustibles (such as storage tanks) from fuel sources also increases or decreases flammability risk. Storage that is not located near structures, or that is more than ten (10) yards from those structures, pose the lowest risk. Storage sites that are 3-10 yards from a structure pose a mid-level risk, and those that are less than 3 yards from any structure pose the greatest flammability risk. To prevent the entry of airborne embers, all eaves and vents will be inspected to ensure they face downward to decrease the chances of embers accumulating in them and Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 25 of 35 O>ursa, RE50UPRCE5 GROUII EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 increasing the potential for fire on the site's structures. Any tanks located on site, such as the saltwater storage tanks, will be handled in this manner. 9.3 Vegetation Management The main point to managing vegetation around the site is to minimize the risk of high- intensity crown fires. This can be done through several steps, beginning with thinning any surrounding forest stands to less than 40% of the surrounding area with at least 3 meters between crowns (of the trees) and decreasing crown cover (the percentage of ground area covered by tree crowns if viewed from above) to that level. At the Battlement Mesa site, there are very few tree stands and even fewer shrubs around the site that could affect the flammability of the landscape. As a result, all measures to mitigate the risk posed by the existing vegetation will focus on vegetation reduction and, in some rare cases, vegetation removal. By partially reducing flammable coniferous forest vegetation around the site, Ursa Resources has already reduced crown fire potential and lowered the wildfire intensity, spread, and spotting risks. Vegetation removal is recommended as the best management strategy for wildfire mitigation, Ursa Resources has maintained native vegetation for landscaping purposes as requested by local officials, and to mitigate other risks to the site such as soil erosion. Vegetation differs in its flammability as some species are MORE resistant to burning, while others are LESS resistant to burning. The flammability rating of different tree species can be determined, but Battlement Mesa Site has mostly native grasses and noxious weeds on its site. The surrounding areas contain some smaller coniferous trees, but Ursa Resources has eliminated any of that vegetation at the pad site. Because grass vegetation increases soil stability and decreases soil erosion, the existing vegetation will be managed accordingly by keeping it a good distance from any structures (as indicated above) and ensuring any grass near installations is kept relatively short. The Company has reduced all trees from the site location, built a berm to act as a buffer between the pad site and the staging area, which is located uphill from the storage tanks and pipeline facilities. Any vegetation management treatment outside the site's boundaries may require coordination and communication, as well as approval, from any of those agencies listed above, including the Colorado National Forest Service. 9.4 Power lines Falling trees can come into contact with power line conductors and thus ignite wildfires and interrupt power to the site. Burned wooden power poles can also interrupt the current in distribution lines. Trees that come in contact with power lines may also cause a ground arc, which can result in power outages and/or cause a wildfire ignition. None of these risks are present at the Battlement Mesa site because there are no trees large enough or near enough to the power lines that pose a falling risk, and the power lines are constructed of metal towers and do not have wood power poles. In addition, the local utility company is responsible for the right-of-way easement where the power lines are constructed to the south of the site and thus fall within the utility company's responsibility Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 26 of 35 1?Ursa ass jupp E5 P II EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 for vegetation and structural management. As a result, Ursa Resources shall contact the local utility company to establish maintenance schedules and responsibilities of those agencies in maintaining the areas surrounding the power lines. Should any potential hazard develop that needs attention, Ursa Resources will contact the utility company and report it immediately. Disruption of a continuous electrical source of power during a wildfire incident may have a significant impact on industrial activities. Ursa Resources has installed back-up measures and power shut-off procedures for the site in the event of a wildfire emergency. 9.5 Debris Piles In order to decrease the risk of holdover fires from debris piles, best management practices require mulching rather than burning. If burning is used, ensure all legislative requirements are met and the proper permits are obtained prior to commencing a burn. After the burn is completed, ensure the remaining debris piles are properly extinguished by using one of the following three approaches: • Use a bare hand to check for hot embers (referred to as cold trailing); • Use a temperature probe or metal rod to detect heat within the piles; or, • Use infrared technology to scan the debris piles for residual hot embers. Where feasible, utilize a portable burning sled to reduce holdover potential and accelerate burning combustion, and reduce the amount of soil contained in the woody piles to allow for more efficient burning and help reduce the chance for holdover fires. 9.6 ATVs and/or Equipment Personnel will be briefed on proper maintenance of ATVs and inspecting the vehicle's exhaust system at regular intervals when operating and to park on sites with bare mineral soil, gravel or cement. Best Management Practices also recommend carrying a small container of water that can extinguish small fires if one should ignite from the exhaust system. Use of ATVs and other light vehicles with catalytic converters should not be parked in areas where tall dry grass is prevalent. Consider restricting the use of these vehicles, ATVs, during prolonged periods of extreme fire danger levels and forest closures due to fire risk. In addition, travel on ATVs should occur during the early morning and later evening when relative humidity is usually higher. Heavy equipment exhaust systems can cause wildfire ignition by one of the two following means: 1. Clearing forest vegetation with heavy equipment can cause an accumulation of very fine organic material on the exhaust systems. This organic material dries and if heated on exhaust systems to high temperatures that can cause it to ignite. Through vibrations, the ignited materials can fall to the forest floor and ignite vegetation, thus causing a wildfire. 2. Diesel engines that idle for long period build up carbon in the exhaust system. When the engine is throttled up and placed under load, small, hot carbon pieces can be expelled, causing wildfire ignition. During windy days, particles can be Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 27 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 carried longer distances from the equipment and pose an even greater wildfire hazard. Ursa Resources will ensure that contractors inspect and clean their heavy equipment exhaust systems on a regular basis. While cleaning the equipment, park it on bare mineral soil if possible or spray the area with water before driving the equipment over the wet area to clean. Place heavy equipment with diesel engines over mineral soil or other non- flammable material. Then throttle up and place the diesel engine under load to expel any loose carbon particles after considering wind speed first. 9.6.1 Welding Operations Employees and contractors operating in wildland areas on the site shall conduct their operations on mineral soil if possible. As an alternative, during high fire hazard periods, the work area where welding is to take place can be wet down with water or foam additives if allowed by the Forest Service. Water is not very effective in fibrous soils during high and extreme build up indices (BUI), however. Ursa Resources will also ensure that all employees and contractors performing welding operations will have the appropriate equipment on hand for fire and emergency situations. Another option is to use a non-flammable shield around the area where welding will take place to confine and prevent the sparks from spreading in all directions. If it is essential to conduct welding operations during high and extreme fire danger periods with very high probability of wildfire ignitions, then a water tanker and crew may accompany the welding operation to patrol, detect, and extinguish any fires that may be ignited. Wildfire foam additives can be considered for use when welding on pipelines during high and extreme ignition potential periods to reduce the amount of water required to be on hand and to ensure the water penetrates into the organic layers. Properly mixed foam will increase the effectiveness of water by 3-5 times, depending on the foam and equipment used. Foam solutions act as a fire suppressant rather than a fire retardant. A suppressant extinguishes the flaming and glowing phases of combustion when applied directly to forest vegetation. 9.7 Emergency Response Measures to Wildfires Personnel should always know what to do during a wildfire, and thus URSA Resources will ensure that all personnel are trained on the provisions in this procedure for clarification and knowledge about wildfire hazards that may exist at URSA's locations. During a wildfire emergency, personnel should (1) determine the minimum number of personnel required to operate during a wildfire threat; and, (2) issue evacuation alerts. 9.7.1 Wildfire Evacuation Routes Evacuation routes are critical for evacuating personnel from a location during a wildfire emergency. It should be noted that visibility during a wildfire may be drastically reduced due to smoke drifting across access roads, and thus knowledge Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 28 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 of evacuation routes and training thereon assist personnel in properly evacuating if needed. When identifying evacuation routes: • Identify safe helicopter landing areas for air lift evacuation. If road access has been cut off, helicopters may provide the only means of evacuation. • Identify adjacent waterways that can be accessed by boat if applicable. • Identify current roads into the site. Assess the threat of wildfire on the potential evacuation routes. 9.7.2 Access Roads All-weather gravel roads should be used as evacuation routes for emergency vehicles or workers. Narrow or dead-end roads without proper turnarounds are particularly problematic for wildfire suppression vehicles since they may not be able to turn around when necessary. Road rings are optimal for this purpose. Whenever possible, access or evacuation routes should double as barriers to fire spread by helping to slow or impede the spread of wildfire. During a wildfire, all-weather gravel routes can be used as both access routes for emergency vehicles and evacuation routes for workers. They may need to be used as both, depending on the location. Narrow or dead-end roads without proper turnarounds can be problematic for emergency vehicles. When detailing emergency access, it's best to identify ring roads and other places where emergency vehicles have the ability to get back out. Access and/or evacuation routes should double as barriers to fire spread as a means for slowing or impeding the spread of wildfire. 9.7.3 Water Sources Wildfire suppression needs substantial volumes of water from a dependable source. There are local water resources near the Battlement Mesa site, but the local emergency responders will determine how and where water sources will be utilized during a wildfire. By having water sources integrated into the plan, both the wildfire and structural fire suppression capability of the site will be greatly enhanced. 9.7.4 Personnel Safety Employees should know what to do during a wildfire emergency. During a wildfire emergency, determine the minimum number of personnel required to operate during a wildfire threat and know when to issue evacuation alerts. If evacuation alerts have been issued for a site, Ursa personnel should follow these protocols and ensure that all other emergency shut-off measures as identified by the Emergency Action Plan as well as additional site measures determined by the Company, shall also be followed. A proper assessment for access roads and water sources near and around the site should be analyzed to determine the flammability risk of the site and whether or not these resources can be used for proper fire suppression and fire barriers in Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 29 of 35 0>tirsa, RE50UPRCE5 GROUII EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 order to protect personnel. If these resources are deemed adequate to reduce high flammability risk, then they should be included as part of a site drawing and given to local emergency responders who would be responsible for fighting the wildfire. Obviously, the lowest flammability risk occurs with facilities that have gravel or paved access roads to the facility that can also be used as evacuation routes and which have fire suppression measures located on site (such as natural water resources), and that ensure emergency vehicles have a proper turnaround for entering and leaving the site during an emergency. Employees must be adequately trained on the evacuation plan and routes, the facility management to reduce wildfire risk, flammability of surrounding vegetation, contact numbers for local agencies (including utility company for power line management), and emergency alarms and local emergency warnings in order to successfully maintain a safe work environment. In case of a nearby wildfire that poses no risk to the site and which has not prompted evacuation orders, employees shall monitor the site for ignitions from embers and extinguish them ONLY to ensure personnel safety if evacuation orders have not been issued and ONLY if employees have been properly trained on how to use the fire extinguishers. Once evacuation orders have been issued, employees shall follow emergency protocol and NOT fight the wildfire. The local emergency responders are responsible for wildfire firefighting and Ursa personnel need to stay out of their way by evacuating and allowing emergency responders to do their job. Ursa will obtain and maintain emergency contact lists, including the numbers of local emergency responders and reporting agencies in case of a wildfire warning or evacuation measure issued due to wildfire risk. The number of on-site personnel should be decreased, or evacuated in its entirety, after emergency shut- down procedures and other measures in the Emergency Action Plan are completed, if possible. In addition, evacuation staging areas to be used during a wildfire event shall be identified, and then personnel shall be made aware of evacuation alerts, routes, and staging areas away from the wildfire and the method to be used for those alerts so that personnel know what to do in case of a wildfire. The methods of transportation for evacuation shall also be determined and personnel shall be notified of that method during a wildfire event. Short-term food and safe lodging arrangement may also be determined by Ursa as part of its site- specific wildfire emergency measures. In addition, personnel will be trained and tested, such as conducting mock wildfire exercises, to test the evacuation plans and train personnel in the Emergency Action Plan measures in the event of a wildfire. If the potential exists for Ursa personnel to become trapped by an approaching wildfire, those individuals will be trained to recognize and utilize adequate evacuation staging areas that have been identified prior to commencing operations. Staging areas should have the following characteristics: • Clean burn site, natural cleared area, or constructed site free of vegetation; • Quickly and safety accessed from the worksite; Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 30 of 35 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Free of hazardous materials; and, Radiant heat and preheated air associated with wildfire flame fronts must also be considered in evacuation staging area selection and size. For successful employee participation, Ursa shall review wildfire safety issues each spring with its employees. They will inform personnel of the implications of wildfire in the forest environment and be trained upon emergency procedures in preparation for a wildfire event and/or entrapment. In addition, the protocols for reporting a wildfire, or if they see smoke or fire, shall be reviewed. Any wildfire trends, and obtaining and/or monitoring weather information in the surrounding area on days when fire danger is high or extreme, shall also be done by Ursa when necessary. Whenever fire danger ratings are high and extreme and restrictions may be in effect, Ursa will ensure its employees are notified of such conditions and have received proper training for managing those situations (such as obtaining permits, heeding road closures or forest closures, open fire bans, etc.) When possible, Ursa shall coordinate its wildfire prevention measures with state, federal, and local agencies responsible for handling wildfires and other forest management issues. In these instances, Ursa shall attempt to ensure that all items relating to wildfire administration, prevention, pre -suppression, wildfire operations, and training are addressed and understood by its employees and are in coordination with the other agencies' requirements and wildfire measures. Training prepares personnel for a more coordinated and educated approach to both wildfire prevention and wildfire emergency response. Training is essential for firefighter safety, equipment compatibility, integrating communications, understanding procedures and wildfire incident command structures, understanding wildfire management and fire behavior, and developing and implementing consolidated emergency response plans with other agencies as stated above. 9.8 General Wildfire Safety Tips Many incidents that result in tragic and costly losses from wildfire can be attributed to substandard communication and lack of proactive measures in emergency response planning. When planning a wildfire emergency response plan, the following recommendations shall be analyzed: • Incorporating open spaces such as borrow pits, lay down yards, spoil piles, parking lots, for staging equipment and personnel in wildfire emergencies; • Place open spaces downslope and/or upwind of the site (using the existing wind conditions as a guideline): • Use open spaces as a barrier to fire spread if they are at least thirty (30) yards wide on level ground and up to fifty (50) yards wide when located near slopes; • Open spaces should have trimmed short grass, gravel, or mineral soil. • Main access road surfaces should provide two-way access with a travel surface of not less than 6.1 yards; • Fire service access routes should be identified and connect to principal roadways; • Road gradients should not exceed ten (10%) percent; Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 31 of 35 • • • • • • • EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Dead-end roadways that are more than ninety (90) yards in length should be constructed with a turnaround at the end and have no less than eighteen (18) yards turning radius or a hammerhead "T" alternate turnaround. A site loop or ring road is the best option for short-term planning; All gates should be located at least nine (9) yards off the main road and does not open downward. Gate openings should provide a clear opening of not less than 0.6 yards wider than the access or traveled roadway; Fire service personnel should be provided with ready access to any locking mechanisms at the site; Bridges should be designed and built with an all-weather surface capable of supporting heavy pieces of equipment traveling across the bridge. Weight limits should be clearly posted at the approaches to each bridge; If the main access road is cut off by a wildfire, alternative emergency evacuation routes will be identified; Natural water sources, such as streams, small lakes, and rivers, should be identified and, if not available, a water storage facility can be developed on high value sites such as tank farms and plant sites for emergency use. Non -draining borrow pits or large tanks may be used for storing large volumes of water in extreme cases, but will only be done at the recommendation of local emergency responders when that agency deems it necessary; and, Ensure access to natural water sources for tanker trucks and portable pump set- up is identified where possible and if located near the site and in coordination with local emergency responders and their requirements for wildfire firefighting. 10.0 EVENT NOTIFICATIONS AND REPORTING All incidents (serious or non -serious) must be reported to the Safety Officer. Note: All near miss incidents and equipment damage accidents must be reported to the Battlement Mesa Site Supervisor and/or Safety Officer so corrective actions can be taken to avoid the same or similar situations in the future. 10.1 Event Notifications The notifying first responder or acting Incident Commander will report the emergency to Alternate Project Coordinator or Site Manager. Battlement Mesa Site employees/first responders will endeavor to keep all affected agencies informed of any emergency or incident that may occur. Small incidents that do not pose a human health or environmental hazard shall be remedied immediately by trained personnel. Incidents that pose a serious threat to employees, the public, the environment, or property will immediately be reported to the Alternate Project Coordinator or Site Manager. Notifications to outside regulatory agencies shall be made as required. 10.1.1 Emergency Notification Depending on where the incident occurs (on or off the pond site), notification may be required pursuant to the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act (EPCRA). The Project Coordinator or Site Manager shall make the determination if reporting is required. Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 33 of 36 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Reporting shall contain the following information to the extent known at the time of notice, as long as a delay does not occur in reporting results: • Where is the spill? • What spilled? • How much spilled? • How concentrated is the spilled material? • Who spilled the material? • Is anyone cleaning up the spill? • Are there resource damages (e.g. dead fish or oiled birds)? • Who is reporting the spill? • How can the person reporting the spill be reached? 10.1.2 Follow-up Notice Reauirements A nationwide notification system has been established for hazardous material spills during transport. The Chemical Manufacturer's Association's Chemical Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC) is located in Washington, D.C. (800-424-9300). The information specialist on duty will ask for the following information: • Name of the caller • Location of the caller • Name of the shipper/Transporter • Product or hazmat involved • Destination of the hazmat • Location of incident • What happened • Weather conditions • Proximity to populated areas. CHEMTREC will give the caller recommendations for controlling the emergency situation until the shipper of the materials and a specialist can contact the caller promptly. 10.2 Reporting Requirements Spills or leaks that can be contained wholly on-site or does not represent a reportable quantity (RQ) value as per 40 CFR 117 should be reported to the appropriate Ursa representative. Spills or leaks that meet or exceed RQ values as per 40 CFR 117 will result in the contact of the following agencies: National Response Center (800-424-8802) EPA Region 8 — Mountain States (800-227-8917) Spills or leaks which pose a potential threaten public health and safety should be called in to: Garfield County 911 Ursa Resources Group, 11 PAGE 34 of 36 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND WIDLFIRE MITIGATION 11 POST -EMERGENCY RESPONSE INCIDENT INVESTIGATION Revision 01 June 2015 Post -Emergency Assessment A post -emergency assessment will be conducted by the Incident Commander as soon as practicable following stabilization of the emergency condition. If classification of the emergency or results of the assessment indicate that more extensive investigation is required, the Alternate Project Coordinator, Site Manager, or Site Safety Officer will initiate the investigation. 11.2 Lessons Learned Lessons learned from the emergency will be documented and distributed to appropriate project personnel, incorporated into project personnel training, and used to amend this plan and to institute corrective measures and procedures in an effort to prevent a similar emergency condition in the future. In addition, the lessons learned will be incorporated in the project Operating Experience/Lessons Learned program.

Spill Prevention and Response Policy This plan complements the Ursa Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) policy and will be used in conjunction with any site-specific emergency response plans (ERP), if available. All Ursa employees, contractors and subcontractors will use best management practices (BMPs) to avoid and/or minimize the potential for spills and releases of substances, chemicals and waste to the environment. BMPs include, but are not limited to the development and implementation of training, practices and actions that reduce the potential for spills and releases on federal, state or private lands or roads and properties that are leased, managed, owned, or otherwise used by Ursa. This plan compliments and addresses spills not specifically addressed under the Ursa's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. See SPCC plan for requirements associated with spills under 40 CFR 112. This plan is not intended to support or address any policies or existing releases under Antero Resources Piceance Corporation ownership prior to March 31, 2013. This plan is intended to support the business model of URSA Operating Company LLC as of April 1, 2013. In the event that a spill or release does occur, ANY volume will be reported to the immediate supervisor and the appropriate Ursa lead as outlined in Appendix A and managed in accordance with this plan, as well as Federal and state regulations. Ursa's Internal Spill Reporting Thresholds • Any spill that occurs inside or outside permitted work areas or limits of disturbance/lease boundary. • Any spill related to transportation while on an Ursa lease or during transportation of Ursa owned materials/waste. Agency Reporting Thresholds • Any spill that impacts or threatens to impact live water, wetlands, drainages, springs or seeps, residence, livestock, etc. • Any spillof E&P material within permitted work areas of 1 bbl or greater outside of secondary containment. • Any spill of E&P material within permitted work areas of 5 bbls or greater within secondary containment. • Any spill of Non -E&P hydrocarbon related waste material greater than 25 gallons. • Any spill that exceeds the reportable quantity (RQ) as outlined by the materials SDS (MSDS) and/or EPA regulated materials. It is Uras's internal policy that all releases be reported to the appropriate on-site supervisor and operations lead, regardless of volume, for internal tracking and trend analysis. If you are unable to contact the designated Ursa personnel listed in (APPENDIX A), contact the appropriate Ursa Spill Coordinator (HCSI) so that any necessary notification or reporting may be completed within the appropriate reporting time. II. Purpose and Scope The purpose of this plan is to provide guidance and expectations for Ursa employees, contractors, and subcontractors to manager, prevent, and mitigate spills and releases. Spill management includes discovery, notifications, response actions, reporting, and subsequent remedial actions (as applicable). Ursa management and employees supervising natural gas exploration and development field activities, including contractor activities, are expected to have a working knowledge of this plan. III. Plan Applicability This plan is applicable to all aspects of Ursa's operations including, but not limited to, construction, drilling, completion, production, and related transportation activities. It is specifically applicable to any vehicles, facilities, and equipment that use, store, transport, dispose, or otherwise handle or manage chemicals (MSDS- regulated chemicals), hazardous materials, E&P wastes (drilling muds, produced water, condensate), domestic waste (septic holding tanks), hazardous waste (acids), extremely hazardous substances, or any other federal or state regulated substance or waste. IV. Contractor and Subcontractor Requirements and Expectations Ursa will not assume administrative, financial, civil, or criminal liability for contractor or subcontractor spills and releases. Therefore, contractors and subcontractors are strongly encouraged to develop and implement their own spill prevention and response plans, and spill response capabilities consistent with the objectives of this plan. The plan and capabilities should be based on the scope of activities as described in their Ursa Master Service Agreement (MSA). Contractors and subcontractors may use this plan as a guide to develop individual plans. In the event of a contractor or subcontractor spill or release, Ursa actions are to ensure that no current or future liability exists. Therefore, contractors and subcontractors are expected to fully cooperate with Ursa employees, designated representatives, and agency officials in any related investigations, management of spill reporting, and subsequent corrective actions. Certain spills/release, depending on the volume and material released may require regulatory agency notification within 24 hours of the release. A release/spill of Ursa owned waste, or a release/spill that occurs on an Ursa lease that requires regulatory agency notification, will be completed by Ursa's spill response program lead or representative. It should be noted that all verbal and written reporting requirements for contractor releases will be billed to the contractor responsible for the spill/release. V. Spill/Release Prevention Ursa's first and foremost priority is that it's employees and contractors take all reasonable measures and implement BMPs to prevent both stationary and transportation -related spills and releases from occurring. Proactive measures and BMPs include, but are not limited to the following: ➢ Informing and training employees, contractors, and subcontractors of BMPs and actions required to avoid potential spill situations such as: • Checking for open or secured valves prior to, during, and after loading/unloading operations and facility start-ups; • Visually monitoring tank levels (don't rely on alarms); ■ Constructing berms around loading/unloading areas, or use portable containment; • Gaskets/Sealing assemblies; • Checking equipment (tanks, hoses, valves) for deterioration and leaks; • Servicing vehicles/equipment (oil changes, lubrication) responsibly; • Operating and maintaining vehicles to avoid accidents resulting in spills; • Being aware of surroundings when backing or moving vehicles; ■ Ensuring stable ground when transporting or placing materials, equipment, tanks, and pipelines; ➢ Providing updated annual training to current and new Ursa employees, foreman, and contractor personnel on how to avoid potential spill situations and newly implemented rules & regulations. ➢ Carrying spill kits in company and contractor vehicles and providing spill stations at Ursa locations (i.e. well pads). VI. Spill Management For purposes of this plan, spill response and management addresses the major steps listed below. Spill response is initiated using the Spill Notification and Management Protocol (Appendix A). The individual (Ursa or contractor) who first discovers the spill is expected to begin notifications and initiate the spill response process until either the appropriate Ursa employee or contractor representative assumes management of the spill. A. Discovery Discovery includes actual or potential spills/releases, and in some cases situations that are not a spill or release, but a situation where someone has reported an instance as such. In any event, it is important to confirm that an actual or potential spill situation has occurred before implementing spill response. If in doubt contact the appropriate spill response personnel as listed in the Spill Notification and Management Protocol (Appendix A) for assistance prior to implementing this plan. If a spill or release presents an actual or immediate and significant threat to human health, safety, or environment, call 911 or Ursa Health and Safety representative (APPENDIX A), secure the location, evacuate personnel and move away from the release. B. Containment Containment, for purposes of this plan, means stopping the spill or release from increasing in volume, size or duration. The person(s) who discover the spill should attempt to contain the spill only if safe to do so. Under no circumstances should field personnel attempt to manage a spill or situation without adequate training, personal protective equipment (PPE) or without exercising extreme caution. Do not attempt to contain the spill if unsafe to do so. If there is no immediate threat to human health, safety or the environment, and the spill can be safely contained then personnel can: ➢ Survey the area for personal safety / locate MSDS if necessary ➢ Stop the source of the spill/release ➢ Warn others in the area, secure the scene of the spill/release ➢ Isolate the affected spill area and prevent it from spreading ➢ Avoid direct contact with the spilled material if hazardous ➢ Avoid inhalation of any toxic gases, fumes, vapor or smoke — stay upwind ➢ Make necessary notifications as outlined in Appendix A Spill containment options and materials used may vary depending upon the media affected. Spill kits should be in all vehicles or on location; or there should be spill kits immediately available (within 15 — 30 minutes). Ursa maintains two (2) fully stocked spill response trailers for use in containing larger spills, spills on transportation arteries, or to aid in preventing spills or releases from impacting surface water or surface water features. The trailer is located at the Rifle office, as well as within Battlement Mesa, and can be towed to a spill location in relatively short time by Ursa or contractor spill response personnel. C. Notification (Ursa/Contractors) The person discovering the spill must make initial notifications in accordance with the Spill Notification and Management Protocol (Appendix A). *URGENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT* For any petroleum product spill/release that reaches live water or has the potential to reach live water; personnel must notify the appropriate Ursa Operations Lead immediately, and mitigate the spill from spreading or affecting downstream waters by setting up a barrier / dam at the closest downstream control point with access. Vac trucks must be called in immediately. L D. Response 1. Company Spills Spills in which Ursa is the responsible party, response actions will be determined by one or a combination of Ursa designated personnel identified in the Spill Notification and Management Protocol (Appendix A), typically the appropriate operations lead, or their designated representative. After all spill notifications have been made as outlined in Appendix A, Ursa Spill Management Protocol will be implemented to determine responsible party, remediation efforts, and closure documentation as outlined in Appendix B. The Ursa Spill Coordinator will perform the following response actions: 1) Assist the Ursa Regulatory and Operational Leads in identifying further response actions as needed using approved spill response contractors 2) Investigate using the Environmental Spill/Release Investigation Form (Appendix C) a. Provide a copy to Ursa Environmental Team within 12 hours 3) Perform required federal and/or state notifications if required (Appendix D) 2. Contractor Spills Spills in which the cause of the release is due to a contractor operating on an Ursa lease, all financial costs incurred with spill notification, mitigation, remediation, waste disposal, and required analytical testing is the responsibility of the contractor at fault. Contractors may utilize Ursa's spill contractor (HCSI) to manage the release and ensure proper remediation in accordance with Ursa policies and procedures, as well as agency regulatory requirements. The contractor may wish to use their own environmental contractor so long as the following criterion is met; ➢ All information on the spill investigation form must be submitted IMMEDIATELY. ➢ Environmental contractor is properly trained and certified in spill response and remediation ➢ Remediation of all spills is approved through Ursa management prior to any remediation being conducted. ➢ Remediation of spills must satisfy requirements outlined in COGCC 900 rules. ➢ Sub -Contractors (equipment, roustabout, etc.) must satisfy all Ursa requirements for sub- contractor use. ➢ Analytical confirmation must be collected in accordance with COGCC and EPA sampling protocols. and submitted to a NELAP Accredited laboratory. Contractor Spill, response actions will be conducted in accordance with this Spill Response Plan and the contractor's own Spill Prevention and Response Plan. This includes response, containment, remediation, and corrective actions necessary to minimize the potential for future spills. Ursa reserves the right to initiate spill response actions if there is an immediate and/or significant threat to the environment, and contactors are unable, unavailable, or unwilling to do so; until such time as the contractor assumes management of the spill. This in no way relieves contractors of the requirements and expectations under Section IV of this plan. Contractors are required to complete the shaded portion of the Environmental Spill/Release Investigation Form (Appendix C) IMMEDIATELY upon the discovery of a spill for verbal notifications as outlined in Appendix A. A copy must be provide to the Ursa Ops Lead and Spill Program Lead within 12 hours of discovery of the spill/release. Contractors are required to include and maintain a current listing of all chemicals, substances and wastes used in their operations (as well as the applicable MSDS) in their Spill Prevention and Response Plan. Once remediation has been completed, copies of all records must be provided to Ursa. Copies of required information include, but is not limited to; ➢ Analytical Analysis ➢ Remediation Work Plans ➢ GIS Data ➢ Waste Disposal Facility Approval ➢ Signed Manifest Copies It is important to remember that a contractor spill or release of an Ursa owned material is obligated to remediate and dispose of the released material in accordance with Ursa's spill prevention and response and waste management plans and related policies and procedures. Waste generated by a spill/release from an Ursa owned material (flowback, produced water, condensate, etc.) or on an Ursa lease/owned property (well pad, access road, etc.), may not be managed at the contractor's yard or facility, unless the facility is properly permitted by the COGCC and CDPHE to accept and manage waste. Once Ursa owned waste from a spill/release is loaded into its packaging container for disposal transporting, unloading is not allowed anywhere other than the designated disposal facility. Wastes generated by contractors and is not associated with any Ursa owned material and the release did not occur on an Ursa location (county road, highway, etc.) is the responsibility of the contractor to provide the necessary agency reporting and remediation. E. Agency Notifications & Reporting Federal and state verbal notification and reporting requirements for spills are based on two primary criteria: 1. The type and volume of material spilled; and 2. Affected environmental media (i.e. soil, water) These materials are further sub -divided into two categories: 1. Exploration and Production Waste (E&P Waste) such as produced water, condensate, or any other material that has been down hole; and 2. Non -E&P Waste such as fuels and oils. This would include materials such as diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, motor oil, and glycol. The most common materials encountered when responding to spills and the associated notification volumes are outlined in (Appendix D). For materials that are not listed in Appendix D, the MSDS can be used to assist in determining proper notification should the reportable quantity be exceeded. Contact information for federal and state agencies is outlined in (Appendix D.1). Ursa uses the internal notification and management requirements outlined in (Appendix A & B) to track and document the cause of spills and to assess and manage risk. Even though a spill may not require verbal notification, it may require written notification. This includes all spills or releases within secondary containment structures; steel or earthen, lined or unlined. F. Remediation In some instances, remediation (beyond response actions and usually longer term) may be required when a spill occurs. Spill remediation is dependent on the type of material spilled, the volume spilled, the location of the spill, spill containment BMPs, pad reclamation status, etc. In the event a spill is remediated and the accumulation of either E&P or Non -E&P waste, the waste must be properly stored, treated on-site or transported and disposed of at Federal and state permitted and approved disposal facility in accordance with Ursa's Waste Management Plan. G. Waste Management Waste generated from spills and releases on Ursa leases must be managed in accordance with the Ursa Waste Management Plan as well as approved by Ursa management. No waste generated from a spill/release is allowed to leave the site that it was generated on without prior Ursa approval. VII.Training All Ursa and contractor personnel are required to complete SPCC/and spill response training on an annual basis. At a minimum this includes Operations Managers, Field Supervisors, and EHS management and staff. Contractors are responsible for training their employees and subcontractors. It is strongly recommended that Ursa and contractor personnel performing field response and remediation activities complete the 24 -Hour HAZWOPER course or other applicable training and annual refresher courses.. VIII. Spill/Release Costs and Invoicing A. Ursa Responsible Spills All Ursa spills must be billed to the appropriate well pad / project regardless of where the spill actually occurred. B. Contractor spills If it is determined that a contractor is responsible of a spill due to negligence, unqualified, irresponsible, or oversight on their behalf, all costs associated with reporting, remediation, and waste management of materials associated with the spill will be at the expense of the contractor. VIIII. Spill Response and Remediation Tracking A. Spill response and remediation tracking is currently implemented and ongoing. Spill tracking is updated weekly, or as needed, and can be viewed on the Ursa drive located below; Z:\REGULATORY - ENVIRONMENTAL MGMT\SPILLS-INCIDENTS-INSPECTIONS\02 Compliance\SPILL TRACKING Ursa Colorado Operations SPILL NOTIFICATION & MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SPILLS, ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS/THREATS) Appendix A SPILL DISCOVERY - VERBAL NOTIFICATION MAJOR INCIDENT *Reportable Spill *NOV w/ Potential Fines *Release Off -Site *Spill to Live Water *Property Damage REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO URSA - DENVER 7 Contain / Control Release (if safe to do so) 7 Notify On -Site Supervisor IMMEDIATELY Contact Ursa Operations Lead Matt Honeycutt - Operations/Construction - 970-812-2198 Hans Wychgram - Drilling - 303-884-9079 Shane Vaughn - Production - 970-623-9539 Pake Younger - Completions - 970-260-2423 Dave Hayes - Wasatch & Water Lines - 970-250-2590 7 Environmental Dwayne Knudson 970-456-3335 Health and Safety Tara Mall 970-618-2155 7 7 If no supervisor is present, contact your company supervisor Mobilize Initial Clean -Up Procedures Unless Delegated by Ursa Lead to another Ursa representative (pumper, contractor, etc) Environmental Back-Up's Rob Bleil 720-425-0303 Kris Rowe 970-261-2015 Land & Property John Doose 970-379-0008 WRITTEN NOTIFICATION Verify Volumes - Inform Ursa Leads of any volume changes 7 On -Site Supervisor to Complete Ursa Incident Investigation Form (Shaded area within 12 hours of discovery) 7 Environmental Dwayne Knudson 970-456-3335 Include Spill on Ursa Daily Report 7 Provide Copy to Kris Rowe with HCSI Complete Remaining Sections of Incident Investigation Form URSA SPILL MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (Appendix B) '+ MAMMY Colorado Operations Ursa Spill Response Actions and Management Protocol Appendix B URSA SPILL MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL COGCC Form 27 Remediation (if applicable) Confirmation Exceeds Agency Thresholds - Additional Remediation Required Waste Characterization (E&P or Non -E&P) Follow Waste Plan for Management Guidance A spill stand -down may be issued by Ursa Management on a case by case basis Form 27 Notice of Completion Responsible Party Determination (BILLING ARRANGEMENTS) Remediation 1 Clean Up v Confirmation Sampling Waste Management 1 Disposal Root Cause Analysis Corrective Actions Analysis 1 Training Local and State Agency Follow-up Reporting No Further Action Confirm Initial / Mobilized Spill Clean -Up (billing) May be necessary to wait for operations to be completed on-site Obtain disposal documentation Conduct contractor meeting with Ursa Management (if needed) Form 19 Supplement - Within 10 Days BLM NTL -3A- Upon Request Spill Closed 1 No Further Action (NFA) Ursa 218= : APPENDIX C Pad/Location: Report Date: ENVIRONMENTAL SPILL/RELEASE INVESTIGATION Responsible Party URSA OP's PHASE CONTRACTOR: *Attach Billing Info Initial Reporting (personnel that discovered release) Occurred: Time: Discovered By: Est.

Per site inspections completed by a third party consulting group, deficiency items must be addressed to obtain compliance with federal, state and local SPCC regulations and requirements. Ursa is aware of the non-compliance items and is making the necessary efforts to address the compliance items defined in Table 5 of the Site Specific SPCC Plans (Appendix A). 73 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan 3.0 SPCC PLAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES This SPCC Plan, hereinafter referred to as 'the plan', is a carefully conceived document prepared to address onshore production facilities in Colorado operated by Ursa Operating Company LLC (Ursa) which are subject to the federal SPCC regulations. There are several additional State of Colorado SPCC -related requirements which are supplemental to the EPA oil pollution prevention regulations (40 CFR 112). The applicability of these regulations will be discussed in the site specific spcc plans contained in Appendix A. This plan was developed to satisfy the applicable state and federal requirements. Specifically, this plan was developed to: • Communicate pollution prevention requirements to Ursa employees. • Document Ursa's SPCC procedures and measures. • Enable Ursa employees to report a spill and provide all the necessary information in the event of a release. • Assist Ursa in contacting and reporting pertinent information to the appropriate agencies. • Provide site-specific information in a simple way. Based on the type of respective operating facilities, the plan addresses both the general plan regulatory requirements specified in 40 CFR 112.7 and those specific to onshore production facilities 40 CFR 112.9. To ensure coverage of applicable regulations, a Regulatory Cross Reference was provided at the beginning of this plan. It identifies salient sections of the regulation in accordance with the plan section in which it is addressed. General requirements applicable to each facility and to the overall management of SPCC -related activities are included in the main text portion of the plan. Appendix A provides site specific information for each individual facility covered by the SPCC plan. This information includes a site layout, description of equipment, volume and type of material stored, surface water flow directions, and spill prevention controls. Technical amendments, such as addition of hydrocarbon storage containers, to this plan will be issued within 6 months as mandated by 40 CFR 112.5. Such amendments will be certified by a professional engineer if the amendment is considered to be technical. In accordance with pertinent regulations, non-technical Plan amendments/reviews and revisions will also be issued on a timely basis by personnel with the appropriate level of authority. This plan conforms to the SPCC Regulations and was developed in accordance with sound engineering practices. Any deviations from regulatory requirements that were noted during the development of this plan are noted on Table 2. A complete copy of the SPCC Plan is maintained at the Rifle Field Office and at the Denver Corporate Office. 74 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan 3.1 Owner Information Name: Address: Company Contacts: Facility Location: Ursa Operating Company LLC U.S. Operations 792 Buckhorn Drive Denver, CO 80265 Regional Address: 792 Buckhorn Drive Rifle CO, 81650 Robert Bleil, Ursa Regulatory & Environmental Manager Tara Mall, HSE This SPCC Plan is applicable to onshore production facilities operated by Ursa in Colorado. Site specific information is located within the Appendix A of this plan. 3.1.1 Facility Layout Details for each facility covered by this plan are provided in Appendix A of this plan. In general, the physical layout of an onshore production facility is associated most often with a well pad. Equipment associated with the well pad includes, but is not limited to, separators, dehydrators, wellheads, above/below ground piping, produced water tanks, condensate tanks, methanol tanks, production pits, and miscellaneous storage. The equipment on the well pad is typically organized in a manner which facilitates safe and efficient automobile navigation. The valves associated with tanks, holding either oil or other chemicals, are kept in the closed and locked position to help ensure unintentional flow does not occur when the tank is not being actively used. The area around the tanks is kept free and clear of debris that could pose a safety hazard (e.g. fire, traffic). Storm water which flows across uncontained portions of the site is not anticipated to come into contact with hydrocarbons. Visual inspections of the entire location are performed by designated personnel or third party contractors as described in Section 3.3 of this plan with regards to SPCC requirements and the Storm Water Management Plan with regards to storm water management. 3.1.2 Tanks, Piping and Equipment The condensate and produced water tanks (tanks) are considered bulk storage tanks/containers under the SPCC regulation. All tanks were built in accordance with API Specification 12F Shop Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids design. All enclosed tanks are equipped with gas vents to relieve any pressure that might build up inside the tank, and are also equipped with vacuum protection that prevent over or under pressuring of the tanks. All tanks are equipped with hatchways for venting, gauging and/or access. All tanks should have stairways and hand railings to facilitate worker safety when the gauging operations are underway. The tanks have been sized to provide sufficient capacity to prevent overfilling Tanks are gauged periodically to 75 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan monitor the oil level to ensure that sufficient tank capacity is available for storage of produced water or condensate. It should be noted that separator units are also considered to be bulk storage containers and are subject to sized secondary containment and periodic inspection. As described in Section 3.3, tanks are visually inspected on a regular basis for leaks, corrosion, and any other malfunctions or deterioration. The tanks are also integrity tested prior to placement at the facility. The equipment and associated hose is compatible with the fluids stored and storage conditions such as pressure and temperature. Any flowlines are to be compatible with the materials being transferred through them. Flowlines shall be powder coated and/or painted. 3.1.3 Containment Structures Corrugated steel containment structures or earthen berms are present to provide secondary containment for bulk storage structures. The storage volume of the respective secondary containment is large enough to contain the entire capacity of the largest single container in the secondary containment plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation taking into account for displacement as applicable. Additional storage volume may be required in the event the facility is located in a Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) high density area or the intermediate or internal 317B buffer zone. Locations located within setback areas are also subject to additional containment requirements. Section 3.1.3.a provides the respective information. In addition, many of the facilities have a perimeter earthen berm around the well pad which can provide secondary containment for separators, and condensate and produced water loading and unloading activities. Should a release occur, the earthen berm will prevent migration of the spilled material away from the site and allow Ursa to control and mitigate the release in a timely and efficient manner. If a site perimeter berm is utilized as secondary containment, a waterbar should be installed at the pad's entrance, and any storm water diversion features should drain to a catchment basin. These structures help to ensure releases of produced water (i.e. oil) at facility on the surface are contained. In some areas, there may be additional secondary containment requirements. Please see below for additional requirements which may be applicable to facilities subject to this spcc plan. 3.1.3.a Additional Regulatory Requirements: COGCC: For facilities located in a Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) high density area, and/or a 317B Area, additional stipulations pertaining to SPCC requirements will apply as provided below: COGCC 317B.d Requirements for Drilling Completions Production and Storage Operations at New Oil and Gas Locations in the Intermediate Buffer Zone: The following shall be required for all DCPS Operations at New Oil and Gas Locations within a Surface Water Supply Area and in the Intermediate Buffer Zone as defined in Table 1. (1) Pitless drilling systems; (2) Flowback and stimulation fluids contained within tanks that are placed on a well pad or in an area with down gradient perimeter berming; (3) Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed in compliance with 76 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan Rule 603.e.(12) 605.a.(4)1 and 906.e.(1)1 around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks COGCC 604.

Federal Leases Onshore Order 3 For facilities which are subject to Onshore Order 3 (i.e. assets located on Federal leases, or wells and facilities on State or privately -owned mineral lands committed to a unit or communitization agreement that affects Federal or Indian interests), valves and other points which oil could be loaded out of will be subject required to be marked with a unique identifier called a seal to ensure oil (i.e. condensate) is not unloaded from the equipment without the volume being documented and provided to the respective federal agent (i.e. bureau of Land Management official, or Bureau of Indian Affairs official). For additional information pertaining to the requirements of 79 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan this regulation please see Attachment 1. 3.1.4 Potential Discharge Volume and Direction of Flow The direction of flow will be specific to the respective location the facility is associated with, and is noted within the site specific plan(s) included within Appendix A. Please see below for examples of potential discharge volumes and causes. One scenario for release of oil is the loss of containment of the largest tank at any particular facility due to rupture (300 bbl. example tank size). This could result in the release of up to 12,600 gallons of oil within one hour. Oil would spill into the secondary containment. In this scenario, oil would be contained within the secondary containment. Another possible scenario would be the release of oil outside the secondary containment during truck loading/unloading activities; such as a ruptured hose connection on water truck. This could result in the release of approximately 150 gallons of oil per minute, until the attendant could access the shutoff valve. The volume of oil released during this scenario is variable. A third possible scenario would be the rupture of a flowline outside of secondary containment due to equipment failure. This could result in the release of approximately 150 gallons of oil per hour, until the failure is noticed during routine inspections. The volume of oil released during this scenario is variable. In all instances, the spill response and notification procedures provided in Ursa's Spill Prevention and Management Plan would be implemented in an orderly and efficient manner. In addition to the Spill Prevention and Management Plan, an Oil Spill Contingency Plan is included with this plan. 3.1.5 Proximity to Navigable Waters All facilities are located within the Colorado River watershed. The surface water proximity is illustrated within maps and tables contained in Appendix A. In the event of an uncontrolled discharge from a facility, oil would follow the natural topography of the landscape. Additionally, each facility diagram within the site specific plan depicts the anticipated direction of runoff from the facility and the distance relative to the potentially impacted navigable waterway. 3.1.6 Site Specific Facility Diagrams Site specific facility maps and diagrams are included in Appendix A with the following detail and location information as applicable: • Process equipment, • Fixed aboveground storage tanks. • Direction of surface water runoff. • Completely buried and bunkered tanks (including USTs covered under 40 CFR 280 or 281). • Drum and portable container storage areas. • The type of oil and storage capacity. • Material of construction for all containers. 80 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan • Connecting pipes including intra -facility gathering lines. 3.1.7 SPCC Plan Development Tables Site specific SPCC detail tables were drafted for each facility included in this plan. Details from the development tables such as the number of tanks, capacity, contents, and secondary containment descriptions are provided in Tables 2, 3 and 4 of the respective site specific plans. The development tables were created to standardize SPCC site inspections and maintain a database of information including but not limited to: • General facility information. • Tank information. • Processing equipment. • Containment/loadout information. • Failure information outside of containment. • Facility property information. • Surrounding drainage. • Comments. 81 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan 3.2 General Requirements 3.2.1 Discovery, Response and Cleanup of Releases The respective facilities are inspected routinely as described in Section 3.3.2. In the event a release is discovered, the protocol provided in the Spill Prevention and Management Plan will be implemented. Section 3.5.1 of this plan provides guidance with regards to annual training requirements. It is recommended that oil handling personnel obtain and maintain the appropriate Hazwoper training for their position. All recovered materials will be handled in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as described in the Spill Prevention and Management Plan and Section 3.4 of this plan. 3.2.2 Notification Contacts Robert Bleil or Tara Mall: - 970-625-9922 — Rifle Office Number - 720-425-0303 — Robert Mobile 970-618-2155 — Tara Mobile - 720-508-8350 — Denver Office Please see the flowcharts included in Appendix B if the above personnel cannot be contacted, should a release occur, additional information is provided in the Spill Prevention and Management Plan. Prior to any notification to agencies, the Spill Prevention and Management Plan will be utilized to determine the agency notification requirements. 3.2.3 Notification Forms The appropriate forms which must be completed prior to reporting a spill are included in this plan as Appendix D. For additional information, please refer to the Spill Prevention and Response Plan and Appendix B of this plan. 3.2.4 Response Plan General information on the response to, and reporting of, oil discharges can be found in the Spill Prevention and Response Plan. Additional information is located within Section 3.4 of this plan and the attached Oil Spill Contingency Plan, a copy of which is provided in Appendix B. The Oil Spill Contingency Plan describes procedures that will be implemented under various emergency scenarios, including when an oil discharge occurs. The plan is also designed to address releases from areas such as flowlines where secondary containment is not practical. 82 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan 3.3 Routine Facility Operations, Inspections and Maintenance Ursa's oil spill prevention program is described in this section of the SPCC plan and includes routine facility operations, periodic inspections and maintenance activities. It addresses all routine activities associated with the oil production facilities as required by 40 CFR 112.7 and 112.9. 3.3.1 Facility Operations All equipment is operated and positioned in a way which is designed to prevent and contain releases. Load line and drain valves are maintained in a closed position when not in use. The facility is visited periodically by Ursa personnel. The volume of liquid is gauged and the fluid level in each tank is assessed prior to loading or offloading oil2 when the inventory approaches the tank capacity. The designated personnel also performs a visual inspection of all above ground vessels, tank hatches, valves, and secondary containment features to ensure issues are promptly identified as described in Section 3.3.2. Tank truck loading/unloading occurs at all the facilities covered in this plan. However, the facilities will not have a loading/unloading rack as defined by 40 CFR 112.2. The tanks may be connected to each other via piping, or each tank may be self-contained within the secondary containment area. Trucks used to offload oil are positioned adjacent to the secondary containment structures and are attended by the personnel during all loading and unloading activities. All loading and unloading activities are conducted by qualified contract personnel who are trained in proper loading and spill prevention techniques and procedures. Pumper truck personnel inspect tank truck and transfer lines including drains and outlets on the tank trucks prior to filling and before departure to ensure that there are no leaks or discharges. If necessary, truck personnel tighten, adjust, or replace equipment that is leaking. Premature vehicular departures are prevented with a manual air brake system and oversight. A Summary of Operating Procedures (SOP) can be found in Appendix E. 3.3.2 Facility Inspection Program Tanks containing oil are inspected periodically. Designated personnel are trained to identify and report any leaks or other deficiencies (e.g. compromised secondary containment). Inspections are conducted on a monthly basis and include review of equipment, tanks, valves, hatches, and lines; the site drainage system; and the entire tank battery, including the area within the containment structures and earthen berms. Specifically, each storage vessel, separator, and miscellaneous equipment is visually inspected for deterioration and maintenance needs, including the foundation and support of each tank/container located on or above the ground surface. The inspection also includes visual check of facility transfer equipment including transfer piping and valves, drip pans, pumping well polish rod stuffing boxes, tanks, separators, heater -treaters, valve glands and bodies, pipe supports, and bleeder and gauge valves. Inspection of conditions associated with buried flowlines is accomplished by observing the ground surface above the lines for evidence of leaks on a routine basis. Please see the inspection form included as Appendix D. It should be noted that some locations will have additional inspection requirements Z Oil means oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not limited to: fats, oils, or greases of animal, fish, or marine mammal origin; vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and, other oils and greases, including petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil. 83 Ursa Operating Company LLC Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan in accordance with the respective location's COGCC Form 2A conditions of approval. The approved Form 2A has been included for reference within the respective site specific plans for locations it was available for. In the event additional Form 2A documents are approved, the document shall be included within the site specific plans as soon as practical. During the field inspection, the site drainage systems such as drainage ditches, road ditches, and intermittent creeks in the vicinity of the facility are inspected for accumulations of oil. Rainwater and other precipitation that accumulates within the berm is either allowed to evaporate, infiltrate into underlying soil, or is removed using a vacuum truck. Excess rainwater removed by the vacuum truck is either returned to storage or transported for offsite disposal at a permitted non- hazardous disposal facility. No drains are present in the secondary containment structures or earthen berms. A discharge of rainwater from the secondary containment structures cannot occur unless the structure fails or is breached. Observations made by the SPCC inspector are recorded on SPCC/Containment inspection, which are stored at the Rifle Field Office and the corporate office in Denver. A copy of the SPCC/Containment inspection form is provided in Appendix D. Mechanical integrity and spill - related issues are addressed as they are identified. During the inspection, the site drainage systems such as drainage ditches, road ditches, and intermittent creeks in the vicinity of the facility are inspected for accumulations of oil. Rainwater and other precipitation that accumulates within the berm is either allowed to evaporate, infiltrate into underlying soil, or is removed using a vacuum truck. Excess rainwater removed by the vacuum truck is either returned to storage for use in storage or transported for offsite disposal at a permitted non -hazardous disposal facility. No drains are present in the secondary containment structures or earthen berms. A discharge of rainwater from the secondary containment structures cannot occur unless the structure fails or is breached. Oil accumulating within the secondary containment area is removed using absorbent pads or is removed with excess rainwater using a vacuum truck as described above. Accumulated oil is not discharged outside of the secondary containment area. Evidence of hydrocarbon spills are noted and remediated as appropriate as described in Section 2.4. Please see below for a table which provides guidance with regards to inspection and testing recommendations: 84 Ursa Operating Company LLC 3.3.2.a Testing and Record Keeping Guidance Oil Production Facility SPCC Plan General Requirements Applicable to All Facilities Bulk storage with no secondary containment and for which an impracticability determination has been made 112.7(d) Test Integrity testing.

Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E APPENDIX E SUMMARY OF OPERATING PROCEDURES FLOWLINE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E SUMMARY OF OPERATING PROCEDURES FLOWLINE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Before any pumper is on location, gas meters must be on and properly calibrated. The following (however not limited to) need to be checked in addition to regular pumper's responsibility to ensure a safe and normal operation by the production operators/pumpers during their routine checks: 1. Water/oil dump valve and water flow meter malfunction: A. Physically check every separator once every day by isolation/bleed-off method. B. If there is any leak through the dump valve and if it is large, replace the trim or valve immediately, if not, try to fix the problem on site as soon as possible and plan to replace the trim/valve at the earliest opportunity. C. Monitoring SCADA for gas & water flow rate can be used in conjunction with physical check. 2. High/low setting trim troubleshooting: A. Physically check Kimray valve for leak (by listening noise, feeling temperature change on both sides of the valve and looking for frost for high differential minor leaks). B. If leak is suspected, confirm by physically checking separator by blowing separator down, then opening up to flowline to see if any gas is flowing back into separator. C. If leak is identified, replace high/low trim immediately. 3. Water/oil trim hanging open A. Physically check every separator when on a pad by listening for gas blowing through water/oil dump and visually check trim set position, then rectify problem. B. Periodically monitor separator pressures throughout day using SCADA to detect discrepancies, then rectify problem. C. Physically check by-pass valves for leaks by feeling temperature difference on both sides of valve, look for, frost or noise. D. If valves are leaking, take necessary actions and inform Ursa about its replacement. 4. Water Skid Pressures at different areas in the field A. Identify skid pressures that are higher than normal operating range on a daily basis (use best judgment) and report to Ursa. B. Purge gas from water headers to lower skid pressures. Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E 5. Operation of Water Network during hydraulic fracturing & flowback using the same system A. When the field lines are being utilized for hydraulic fracturing (frac) & flowback operations, the pump will be operated exclusively by the frac & flowback personnel. If you need to utilize any section of the network for pumping into injection pads or pumping out from any pad to injection pads, communicate this first to the frac/flow back personnel. For your water needs at injection pads, coordinate this with frac/flowback personnel. B. When there is no special operation, the network should be operated at regular regime. C. All operations (operation/cleaning and water pumping etc.) must be carried out with the designated personnel and appropriate controls in place. D. Finally, and most importantly, for any safety/environmental issues (e.g., spillage or leakages) immediately contact your immediate supervisor who in turn shall contact Ursa and offer your best assistance to minimize the impact from the incident to people, environment and assets. If your immediate supervisor or Ursa personnel cannot be reached, please refer to the Emergency Contacts list in Section 3.4.1 of this SPCC Plan for alternate contacts. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A VOICEMAIL, talk to the contact directly. *Note: All of the above situations can also be identified through manually shutting water skid off, and seeing if any gas is blowing to the production tanks Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING PRODUCTION WATER FROM TANKS 1.

Initial Tank Inspection — Valves and Overflow (Gooseneck) Caps A. Prior to any fluid transfers, the water handling contractor will perform an initial inspection of the tanks to confirm that all valves on tanks are closed and that the overflows (gooseneck) have caps. B. Initial inspection includes the valve which is located at the back of the tank in front of the wheel axles. C. All man hatches will be inspected to confirm that they are tight. 2. Initial Tank Inspection to Confirm Tank Fluid Levels A. Prior to any fluid transfers, identify the full tanks and the empty tanks. B. Tanks with closed thief hatches located at the top of the stairs are considered full. These tanks can't accept produced fluids. All tanks with produced water should have a closed thief hatch with a carbon blanket installed. C. Fluid Gauges Don't Work — Check tank status prior to pumping or transferring fluids. D. Make sure that your tank has room before you begin unloading! 3. Visual Tank Inspection after Fluid Transfer Begins A. Visually check each tank for leaks (valves, overflow/gooseneck caps) immediately after tank filling begins. B. Continue watching the tank until your truck is completely unloaded. C. Tank fluid transfers are immediately stopped if a leak is found or tank is overfilled. 4. Spill Reporting and Cleanup A. If a spill occurs the contractor/driver will contact their immediate supervisor. B. Contractor will stop all fluid transfers during a spill event. C. Truck driver will reverse his pump and begin vacuuming up the free liquids that spilled if transfer by truck. 5. Final Inspection after Fluid Transfer is Completed A. Confirm that tank flex hose is drained of fluids prior to disconnecting the hose from the tanks — Do Not Drain Liquids on the Ground. B. For pipeline fluid transfers, flex hoses must be left connected to the manifold in front of the frac tanks — Flex hoses should not be disconnected. C. Contractor will close the tank thief hatches on the tanks that are full to prevent overfilling. Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E FLOWLINE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Flowlines and piping at production facilities can be sources of releases. The quantity and rates of such events will vary according to failure mode, operating pressures, current production rates, and duration of the release. Flowlines and intra -facility gathering lines and associated valves and equipment are compatible with the type of production fluids, their potential corrosivity, volume and pressure, and other conditions expected in the operational environment. The majority of the piping in the field is constructed of steel and was installed in 2009 or later. Flowlines are powder coated and/or painted. The steel lines all have cathodic protection. The pressure lines operate between 0 to 600 pounds per square inch (psig), they were designed for 0 to 1440 psig. Flowline construction materials are corrosion resistant to condensate, crude oil, and produced water. Flowlines are sized appropriately for the flow volumes expected at the facility. Aboveground flowlines and associated appurtenances are visually inspected daily during the pumper's regularly scheduled site visits for leaks, oil discharges, corrosion, or other conditions that could lead to a discharge as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b). Inspection of conditions associated with buried flowlines is accomplished by observing the ground surface above the lines for evidence of leaks on a monthly basis. Records of the inspections are stored at the Rifle Field Office and the corporate office in Denver. Buried flowlines are also inspected whenever they are exposed. Metallic lines have a cathodic protection system which is monitored once or twice a year as deemed necessary. High density polyethylene (HDPE) lines are operated at or below the recommended pressure and pressure tested on a regular basis to check their integrity. The aboveground manifolds are inspected on a monthly basis for conditions, repair, painting, etc. Appropriate corrective actions or repairs are made to any flowline, intra -facility gathering line, or associated appurtenances if evidence of a discharge is present. Evidence of a discharge includes product that has surfaced above the flowline. Suspected releases, including significant loss of pressure in the line or significant reduction in product recovered in the production tanks will be investigated. In the event a leak is discovered, the lines will be replaced with pipe constructed of appropriate materials. All repaired or replaced flowlines are pressure tested prior to being put into operation. Actions are initiated promptly to stabilize and remediate any accumulations of oil discharges associated with flowlines, intra -facility gathering lines, and associated appurtenances. Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix E Releases are reported to the appropriate supervisor and cleanup personnel upon discovery. Oil and impacted media are removed or remediated as soon as practicable. Ursa Operating Company LLC Appendix F APPENDIX F WRITTEN COMMITMENT OF MANPOWER Written Commitment of Manpower, Equipment, and Materials In addition to implementing the preventive measures described in this Plan, Ursa will also specifically: • In the event of a discharge: Make available all trained personnel and contractors to perform response actions ii. Collaborate fully with local, state, and federal authorities on response and cleanup operations • Maintain on-site oil spill control equipment. • Maintain all communications equipment in operating condition at all times. • Ensure that facilities are accessible. • Review the adequacy of on-site and third -party response capacity with pre- established response/cleanup contractors on an annual basis and update response/cleanup contractor list as necessary. • Maintain formal agreements/contracts with response and cleanup contractors who will provide assistance in responding to an oil discharge and/or completing cleanup.

In addition, this regulation is applicable to all wells and facilities on State or privately -owned mineral lands committed to a unit or communitization agreement that affects Federal or Indian interests, notwithstanding any provision of a unit or communitization agreement to the contrary. The following sections of this attachment will provide the basic requirements for ensuring Ursa's operations remain compliant with the respective regulation. This Order establishes the minimum standards for site security by providing a system for production accountability and covers the use of seals, by-passes around meters, self -inspection, transporters' documentation, reporting of incidents of unauthorized removal or mishandling of oil and condensate, facility diagrams, recordkeeping, and site security plans. Please see Table 1 and 2 of this document for a list of well pads and specific wells which are subject to the regulation. It should be noted that this list will serve as a living document and should be updated when there is a sale or acquisition as applicable. Please note that the BLM is responsible for compliance of Onshore Order 3 if a facility is located on federal land. The BLM and USFS may coordinate efforts when a facility is located on USFS surface land, but the BLM will retain responsibility per BLM Memorandum of Understanding W0300-2006- 07. In order to ensure Ursa remains compliant with Onshore Order 3, personnel involved with oil gauging, loading, and sales should be presented and trained with the required protocol per the regulation. The two most important aspects to retain compliance are proper documentation and ensuring valves are sealed effectively. 1 Ursa Operating Company LLC Table 1.

Authorized Officer — means any employee of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) authorized to perform the duties in Groups 3000 and 3100 of this title [43 CFR 3000.0-5(e)]. Authorized Representative — means any entity or individual authorized by the Secretary to perform duties by cooperative agreement, delegation, or contract (see 43 CFR 3160.0-5). Business Day — means any day Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. By -Pass — means any piping arrangement connected upstream and downstream of a meter which allows oil or gas to continue on to the sales line without passing through the meter. Equipment which permits the changing of the orifice place without bleeding the pressure off the gas meter run shall not be considered a by-pass. Effectively Sealed — means the placement of a seal in such a manner that the position of the sealed valve may not be altered, or a component in a measuring system affecting quality or quantity accessed, without the seal being destroyed. Major Violation — means noncompliance which causes or threaten immediate, substantial, and adverse impacts on public health and safety, the environment, production accountability, or royalty income. Oil — means all nongaseous hydrocarbon substances, other than those substances leasable as cole, oil shale or "gilsonite". Please note that unless the oil is salable, the operator is not required to maintain records of the loading/unloading and seals. If the oil (i.e. condensate) accumulated within the produced water tanks becomes salable, all requirements for documentation and record keeping will apply. Production Phase — means that period of time or mode of operating during which crude oil is delivered directly to or through production vessels to the storage facilities and includes all operations at the facility other than those defined by the sales phase. Sales Phase — means that period of time or mode of operation during which crude oil is removed from the storage facility for sale, transportation, or other purposes. Seal — means a device, uniquely numbered which completely secures either a valve of those components of a measuring system that affect the quality and/or quantity of the liquid measured. 2 Ursa Operating Company LLC Attachment 1 3.0 Record Keeping Requirements All documents and records shall be filed for a period of seven years. The respective hardcopy records shall be stored at the Rifle Field Office and shall be managed by designated Ursa personnel as defined in Section 8.0 of this document. In the event an acquisition is made and no records are available, a document stating such shall be drafted and filed for the respective location. 4.0 Seal Requirements Specified equipment components will be required to have a seal as defined in Section 2.0 of this document. The seals will be placed and removed by designated personnel at the time of sale, or during a change in the position the respective valve is kept (i.e., open or closed). Anytime a seal is changed, it shall be documented in the applicable forms included within this document. Each ineffectively sealed valve or appropriate valve not sealed shall be considered a separate violation. Violation fines range from $250 to $500 per violation. In the event an authorized representative identifies the unsealed valve, he or shall place a federal seal on the valve and notify the operator. Fines for theft of materials (and/or lack of royalty payments) are much greater. The seal record (Section 7.0) serves as the operators defense against such fines in the case that a theft does occur. Please see the below figures for examples of seals2: Figure 1. An effectively sealed valve cannot be turned without breaking the seal. 2 Figures taken from BLM Bakersfield Training document. 6 Ursa Operating Company LLC Attachment 1 Figure 2. An ineffectively sealed valve, the wheel nut can be taken off and thus product removed. Figure 3. The yellow tag is a federal seal and is a designator of a violation. jaiallAridrailiter 7 Ursa Operating Company LLC Attachment 1 The following Tables (3 and 4) provide guidance with regards to the equipment which is subject to the seal requirements.

Additional authorizations are needed as follows: • A letter from Steve Rippy authorizing URSA to act on behalf of the District regarding the Application. Response: A letter authorizing Ursa to obtain permits on behalf of BMMD for this pipeline is included in this response. • A letter from Eric Schmela to authorize URSA to act on behalf of Battlement Mesa Land Investments. Response: A letter authorizing Ursa to obtain permits on behalf of Battlement Mesa Land Investments for this pipeline is included in this response. 2. Surface Use Agreements for the proposed pipeline uses are needed along with any associated easements for the pipeline uses. Response: Surface Use Agreements between BMMD and Battlement Mesa Land Investments and Ursa are included in this response. 3. The Application indicates that the adjacent property owner map includes information on location of buildings and their uses within 350 ft. of the pipeline. An update to the 760 Horizon Drive, Suite 102 TEL 970.263.7800 Grand Junction, CO 81506 FAX 970.263.7456 www.olssonassociates.com Ursa Battlement Mesa PUD Temporary Surface Lines PDPA-03-16-8429 March 11, 2016 Page 2 map with appropriate labelling or a written summary is needed outlining information on buildings and their uses within 350 ft. of the pipeline. Response: These items are shown on the Adjacent Properties Map in Section 9- 102. F of the original submittal package. While not a completeness issue, please note that as with the recent Tompkins Gathering Pipeline additional information will likely be needed regarding your Hazardous Materials Spill Plans/Responses including information on monitoring of the pipeline. As the URSA Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan is referenced in the current Application provisions from that plan may need to be identified. Response: Copies of Ursa's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) and Spill Prevention and Management Plan are included with this response. There will be no site specific plan for the pipeline. The SPCC applies to storage tanks and not to pipelines, although the basic principles of prevention and control may apply to pipelines. The Spill Prevention and Management Plan applies to all activities where the potential for a spill or release exists. As indicated in the Project Description, operations of the pipeline will include 24-hour personnel to observe, monitor, and record all water movement. There always will be at least one person at each end of the line during water transfer activities. The constant supervision reduces the potential risk of leaks and failures from occurring without being noticed in a timely manner. Every barrel of water that is sent is accounted for at both ends of the line. Pressures are monitored constantly. Any change in pressure will result in immediate action to troubleshoot the cause of the pressure change. Please let us know if you have any further questions regarding this application. Thank you for your assistance in expediting the approval of the application.
