The purpose of this MR is to provide updated PAP information necessary to remedy a <br />number of NOV abatement steps. <br />1. Well Abandonment Reports. <br />NOV Abatement Step No. 1, 2 and 3 requires that Oxbow provide well abandonment reports and <br />suggests a PAP language change regarding when abandonment reports are submitted. <br />Included with this MR is a revised Exhibit 2.04 -E3, Geologic Information Item 9, Borehole <br />Abandonment Information. Included also are abandonment reports for GVB LW 16-05 and <br />GVB -LW 17 -05. <br />• We have included a revised PAP page 2.05 -69b indicating abandonment reports will be <br />submitted by the end of the calendar year in which they are sealed. <br />• As noted in our December 19, 2014 Submittal of Written Information, Oxbow believes that <br />previous abandonment reports are accurate. <br />2. Correct and update GVB pad and road information. <br />NOV Abatement Step 7 and 8 required updated GVB pad and road information and possible <br />increase to the calculated reclamation cost estimate to reflect this update. <br />• Oxbow has previously suggested that the best vehicle to provide updated disturbance or <br />acreage information is through the Annual Reclamation Report (ARR). The Division should <br />refer to the 2014 ARR mailed concurrently with this MR, for that information. The ARR <br />includes EXHIBIT 1— SUMMARY OF DISTURBANCE /SEEDED AREAS which <br />provides a summary of disturbed and seeded area acreages. <br />• Oxbow has also modified the Map 2.05 -M1, Sheet 6 of 6, General Facilities, Gobvent <br />Boreholes. This updated map provides an update to the road and drill pad locations. <br />• Oxbow has also included an updated Exhibit 2.04 -E3, Item 9 - Methane Drainage Well <br />Information. <br />• Page 1 <br />
