Dairy Ashford, Bldg. E-1040F, Houston, Texas 77079. <br /> STATUS OF RECLAMATION: <br /> The Prospecting NOI was approved on March 01, 2005 for the development of the 2005-06 <br /> Geo-hydrology Drilling and Coring Program - Public Land Prospecting and then amended June <br /> 22, 2006. A Land Use Permit for access to the pads was granted by the BLM on July 21, 2005 <br /> amended on Aug. 21, 2006 (#COC68435) . Shell Frontier Oil & gas Inc. (SFOGI) has elected <br /> to discontinue development of the project and requesting partial acreage release, it has been <br /> determined that reclamation has been achieved and no new surface disturbances were created <br /> subsequent to issuance of the NOI. <br /> 22-4-298 <br /> The signal installed Hydrology wells were plugged and abandoned fall of 2015, the plugging <br /> report submitted to CDRMS October 21, 2015. The well casing was cut off at 4ft below final <br /> grade, a metal cap welded with well name identification scribed on cap. The final reclamation <br /> phase was completed in the fall of 2015. The pad was de-compacted and restored to existing <br /> grade, stabilized topsoil was utilized to provide approximately 4" of topsoil covering prior to <br /> seeding. There is no access road as the pad was constructed adjacent to the County road 68. <br /> The pad was drill seeded per the approved BLM seed mix, stabilized with weed free straw <br /> mulch. The continued efforts of the noxious and annual weed management and spot seeding <br /> created a diverse shrubs/forbs primary volunteer Rabbit and Sage brush throughout the pad <br /> with minor grass understory being established. CDRMS annual inspection determined the pad <br /> is stable with well-established vegetation coverage which is comparable to surrounding area. <br /> Final reclamation has been achieved. <br /> 4 <br />
