Let me know if you would like the entire BLM APD approval. 7. V/R-TL-15: Surface-disturbing and disruptive activities will not be allowed within 0.25 miles of active nest sites of those raptors that are not considered special-status during the period from nest territory establishment to dispersal of young from nest (from February 1 through August l). Exception: An exception to the TL can be granted if an environmental analysis of the Proposed Action indicates that nature or conduct of the activity could be conditioned so as not to interfere with adult attendance and visitation of the nest site, jeopardize survival of the eggs or nestlings, or otherwise impair the utility of nest for current or subsequent nesting activity or occupancy. The Authorized Officer may also grant an exception if the nest is unattended or remains unoccupied by May 15 of the project year. An exception may be granted to these dates by the Authorized Officer, consistent with policies derived from federal administration of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Approval Date: 12 10212020 a. WR-TL-l5: On the M234, 826, and 418 locations, surface-disturbing and disruptive activities (including construction, drilling, completion, and intensive maintenance activities) will not be allowed within 0.25 miles of active nest sites of those raptors that are not considered special-status during the period from nest territory establishment to dispersal of young from nest (from February I through August 1). The current survey is valid until June I,2021. b. WR-TL- 1 5 : No active nests were located near the P25, Ol3, andMI2 locations and an exception to this stipulation is granted until June I,202I, at which time the timing limitation will be applied or a new biological survey must be conducted to consider another exception to the timing limitation. 8. The following stipulation applies toM23A,B25, and P25 well pads V/R-TL-13: No surface disturbing activities (including construction, drilling, completion, and intensive maintenance activities) from May 15 through August 15 would be permitted in order to reduce the disturbance of big game animals on summer range. Exceptions and modifications to this Condition of Approval may be considered as expressed in WR-TL-l3 in the WRFO Oil and Gas RMPA ROD (2015). 9. The following stipulation applies to 013,418, and M12 well pads WR-TL-12: No surface disturbing activities (including construction, drilling, completion, and intensive maintenance activities) from December 1 through April 30 would be permitted in order to reduce the disturbance of big game animals on severe winter range. Exceptions and modifications to this Condition of Approval may be considered as expressed in WR-TL-L2 inthe WRFO Oil and Gas RMPA ROD (2015). 1 FORM 2A Rev 02t20 Location lD: 479214 Expiration Date: 01t1312024 Document Number: 402468404 Date Received: 08t18t2020 CONSULTATION f This location is included in a Comprehensive Drilling Plan.

OPERATOR COMMENTS AND SUBMITTAL Comments The proposed BJU N23 496 Central Delivery Point (CDP) will be handling the 3 -Phase Production from the proposed BJU M23A 496 pad (27 Wells) and the proposed BJU 826 496 pad (30 wells). The handling of prodcution at the CDP allows for an increase in area to be interim reclaimed at the two proposed well pads. Three phase separation will occur at the CDP facility, with oil being separated, and measured through a LACT Meter, dumped to, and sold from the oil tank battery. Water will be separated, cooled, and pumped back to Divide Road Water Treatment where the water will be reused for completion activities or disposed of in existing salt-water disposal well. Gas will be separated, measured, and will flow into an existing gas gathering line, carrying the gas to the Story Gulch Compressor Station or Middle Fork Compressor Station, where compression and dehydration activities will occur. Measurement of the gas, on the gathering facility pad, will be the custody transfer and allocation point. Stormwater is addressed under a field-wide Stormwater Management Plan (CDPHE Certification #COR037689). Run-on protection and run-off controls will be installed prior to the beginning of construction activities, with consideration given to worker safety, wildlife, and site access. September 2019 - Caerus Piceance LLC (Caerus) agreed to the Amended and Restated Wildlife Mitigation Plan (WMP) for proposed oil and gas operations on the North Parachute Ranch (NPR) property.

COA Type Descriotion No BMP/COA Tvoe Best Management Practices Description Date Run: 1/14/2021 Doc F14024684041 Page I ot 12 Wildlife Onsite biological surveys (wildlife and aquatic) for each new development, using the most recent data sets for wildlife resources, will be conducted prior to any activity. Caerus uses the Wildlife Resources Matrix (within the approved North Parachute Ranch, Wildlife Mitigation Plan) to identify and document potential impacts or concerns during the project planning phase for proposed drilling/completion operations and construction of roads, pads, and pipelines. Caerus will perform pre-disturbance surveys when the onsite inspection and commencement of disturbance occur during different field seasons. Caerus will follow the North Parachute Ranch lntegrated Vegetation Management Guidance Document for interim and final reclamation practices, including identifying appropriate seed mixes and invasive weed control measures. 2 3 4 5 Storm Water/Erosion Control The CDP Facility will be constructed as designed and shown on the Construction Layout Drawings. During construction only the minimum amount of vegetation necessary for the construction of roads and facilities will be removed. Topsoil will be conserved during excavation and will be reused as cover on disturbed areas and perimeter berms. No construction or routine maintenance activities are performed during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment. Any stockpile(s) for topsoil and excess cut material will be located in work areas surrounded by the BMPs as shown on the Construction Layout Drawings. Stormwater BMPs will be installed per details in the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) and as shown on the Construction Layout Drawings. Disturbed areas of the site will be left in a surface roughened condition. BMPs will be protected, inspected, and repaired as necessary. All new flowline/pipeline installations will be performed in accordance with new flowline guidance and requirements in the COGCC 1100 Series Rules. All new offsite pipelines will be registered in accordance with the 1100 Series Rules. Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (corrugated steel with synthetic liner) to adequately contain any spilled or released material around crude oil, condensate, and produced water storage tanks, while also ensuring the adequate prevention of significant adverse environmental impacts. Dust control Active measures to prevent fugitive dust emissions from the well pad, well pad access entrance, and other connecting dirt roads during drilling, completion, and production operations will be implemented. Fugitive dust control measures to reduce dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources include the use of water/fluid dust suppression application, the use of speed restrictions, and regular road maintenance. lnterim Reclamation Once alltopsoil has been distributed across the site where interim reclamation is planned, the location is then seeded by drill seeding methods or broadcast seeding. Re-vegetation is accomplished as soon as practical following the preparation of a site for final stabilization. Seeding will be done when seasonal or weather conditions are most favorable. On terrain where drill seeding is appropriate, seed may be planted using a drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting. Re- countouring to help control run-on and run-off will be done in areas where it will not impede ongoing production operations. 6 Final Reclamation The disturbed areas surrounding the CDP Fcility, including the access road will be recontoured to blend as nearly possible with the natural topography. Final grading of back-filled and cut slopes will be done to prevent erosion and encourage establishment of vegetation. Previously existing drainages will be re-established. The long term objective is to establish a self-perpetuating plant community that is compatible with and capable of supporting the identified land use. Noxious weeds will be treated in accordance with applicable COGCC rules and county weed management requirements. 7 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will continue to develop and maintain water sources (two water wells were drilled in 20171to supply water to impoundments for wildlife consumption. These sources and others are maintained annually. I CPW-W|ldlife - Minimization-Deer and Elk Caerus will implement a three-phase gathering system on nearby well pad locations to reduce the need for onsite separation and fluid storage facilities on well pad locations so that the amount of acreage placed into interim reclamation can be increased. 9 CPW-Wildlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE Caerus will restrict commercial and residential development on the North Parachute Ranch. Date Run: 1/14/2021 Doc F14024684041 Page 9 of 12 10 11 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will consult with GPW and BLM prior to any construction of new surface structures within CPW-identified big game migration corridors. Caerus will place multiple gathering lines into a single trench to minimize disturbance and construction; and will install trench plugs (sloped to allow wildlife or livestock to exit the trench should they enter) at known wildlife or livestock trails to allow safe crossing on long spans of open trench, when trenches are left open longer than 48 hours. CPW-Wildlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE Caerus will implement three-phase gathering on existing and proposed well pad locations to reduce the need for onsite production facilities and increase the acreage put into interim reclamation. CPW-Wildlife - Minimization-Deer and Elk Pets will be prohibited on Caerus property CPW-W|ldlife - Avoidance- Deer and Elk Caerus will complete production pad construction and interim/final reclamation activities between July l5 and December 15;avoiding the elk production period of April 15 to July 15. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 CPW-Wildlife - M inimization-Black Bear The operator will implement Rule '1204.a.1 (also see General Operating Recommendations) by storing all garbage, trash, and debris in enclosed bear proof trash containers and transported to an approved disposal facility once per week during drilling and completions operations. No garbage, trash, and debris will be disposed of on location. The Central Delivery Point production pad and access road will be kept free of trash and debris at all time. CPW-W|ldlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE Caerus will utilize the BLM/CPW suggested seed mix containing native species recommended for greater sage grouse habitat. CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will implement weed management programs for offsite weed treatment (annual budget of $100,000) and onsite weed treatment (annual budget of $200,000) for well pads, support pads, production and central delivery point pads, pipeline corridors, and access roads. CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- GREATER SAGE. GROUSE Caerus will work with CPW and BLM Biologists on an oak brush removal project along the ridge where the proposed pads and facility is located. The project will be implemented to provide more suitable habitat for greater sage grouse and to offset direct impacts from the pads and facility. CPW-Wildlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE The operator has agreed to utilize a third party to monitor noise during completions activities to satisfy the BLM condition of approval regarding sound impacts CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus elected to add additional Grazing Monitoring cages to several of the pastures and near water sources. A total of $50,000 will be spent on grazing monitoring annually. CPW-W|ldlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE Caerus will utilize solar panels to reduce the need for additional powerlines; and use remote telemetry to reduce the need for daily well site visitation. 21 CPW-W|ldlife - Minimization-Deer and Elk Only essential traffic will be permitted to access sites throughout the North Parachute Ranch where no active operations are occurring. 22 CPW-Wildlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE Only essential traffic will be permitted to access sites throughout the North Parachute Ranch where no active operations are occurring. Essential site visits to the well pads and production pads will occur between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. during the leking, nesting and early brood rearing seasons (March 1 to June 30) within 1.0 mile of an active lek. 23 CPW-W|ldlife - Minimization-GREATER SAGE-GROUSE To reduce truck traffic, Caerus will utilize a three-phase gathering system to transfer product fluids from the BJU M23A-496 and BJU 826-496 well pads to a the BJU N23- 496 Central Delivery Point (CDP) production pad; where produced water will then be transferred through the existing pipeline system to the Divide Road Water Treatment Facility for treatment and recycling. 24 CPW-Wildlife - Avoidance- GREATER SAGE- GROUSE Caerus will complete well pad construction and interim/final reclamation activities between July 15 and December 15; avoiding the greater sage grouse wintering, breeding, and nesting periods of December 15 to July 15. Date Run: 1/14/2021 Doc F14024684041 Page 10 of 12 25 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will manage all grazing lease agreements for the North Parachute Ranch under a consistent monitoring program to ensure that livestock utilization does not negatively impact other naturalwildlife resources. Monitoring will include fence inspections, repairs, and improvements; periodic range checks for trespassing cattle or unexpected issues; the use of grazing baskets to determine the percentage of grazing usage so that livestock may be timely removed from an area; continuing the development and maintenance of water sources as a result of Caerus operations; and adopting grazing management guidelines, including grazing lease deferrals, to protect existing wildlife habitat resources. Existing and new lease agreements include provisions to: 1) limit animal grazing unit months; 2) prevent overgrazing; 3) manage the use of salt blocks to protect vegetation; 4) conduct any weed treatment operations consistent with the North Parachute Ranch lntegrated Vegetation Management Guidance Document; and 5) utilize sound animal management practices. Caerus will continue to provide access to CPW research personnel for ongoing greater sage grouse population research on the North Parachute Ranch (NPR) and other operator-owned property. 26 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- GREATER SAGE- GROUSE 27 CPW-W|ldlife - Avoidance- GREATER SAGE- GROUSE Caerus has agreed to avoid development along the top of Barnes Ridge. CPW lndicated that this ridge is an important resource for the greater sage grouse population and will continue to adhere to avoiding the ridgetop. 28 CPW-Wildlife - Mitigation- GREATER SAGE- GROUSE Caerus will implement weed management programs for offsite weed treatment (annual budget of $100,000) and onsite weed treatment (annual budget of $200,000) for well pads, support pads, production and central delivery point pads, pipeline corridors, access roads, and adjacent areas. 29 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will maintain open space (no permanent surface structures) on 20 acres of the Parachute Creek Property. 30 CPW-W|ldlife - Mitigation- Deer and Elk Caerus will continue to provide access to CPW research personnel for ongoing mule deer research and predator research on the North Parachute Ranch (NPR) and other operator-owned property. 31 CPW-W|ldlife - Avoidance- Black Bear The operator agrees to report bear conflicts immediately to CPW staff 2109334 AERIAL PHOTO MAPS 2109335 SENSITIVE WILDLIFE MAPS OBJECTIVE CRITERIA REVIEW MEMO2109336 402468404 FORM 2A SUBMITTED 402469249 ACCESS ROAD MAP 402469288 FACILITY LAYOUT DRAWING 402469292 HYDROLOGY MAP 402469294 LOCATION DRAWING 402469296 LOCATION PICTURES 402469299 OFFSITE PIPELINE ROUTE MAP 402469303 REFERENCE AREA MAP 402469306 REFERENCE AREA PICTURES 402469309 SURFACE USE DISTURBANCE BREAKDOWN 402469316 TOPO MAP SHOWING EXISTING WELLS WITHIN 1 MILE, WELL SUMMARY TABLE 402469326 NRCS MAP UNIT DESC 402478021 CONST.
