Williams takes many steps in effort to mitigate any impact to the character of the neighborhood.
These steps include our utilization of the natural topography to conceal our production
equipment and paint selection to help the equipment blend into the surroundings. Also, through
utilization of automation and communication advancements, there is less need for traffic or
service to be performed at the well site.
The PA 41-9 pad Iocation is on a remote edge of the Battlement Mesa Planned Unit
Development (PUD). Currently this location contains 2 producing wells and the production
equipment to maintain the facility. The location disturbance originally was 2.4 acres while
drilling development was taking place. Through the interim reclamation process this area has
been reduced to less than Y2 acre in size and reseeded.
There is only light duty truck traffic to the Iocation, due to the fact that the wells are currently
producing. This traffic consists of pumpers checking the facility about 3 times weekly and an
occasional water truck to haul the produced water from its collection tank monthly.
With Williams' very careful planning for all stages of the production process, we are confident
we have mitigated any potential impact to the highest level possible.
