Shell Frontier Oil & Gas <br /> Inc. <br /> Reclamation Report <br /> IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION: <br /> Operation: 2006-07 Geo-hydrology Drilling and Coring Program - Public Land Prospecting <br /> Operator: Shell Frontier Oil & Gas Inc <br /> DRMS NOI #: P2006-037 <br /> Contact Info: Samantha Baker, SGWS Legacy Program Manager, <br /> Shell Frontier Oil & Gas Inc., <br /> 150 N. Dairy Ashford, Bldg. E-1040G, Houston, Texas 77079 <br /> STATUS OF RECLAMATION: <br /> The Prospecting NOI was approved on June 19, 2007 for the development of the 2006-07 Geo- <br /> hydrology Drilling and Coring Program - Public Land Prospecting. A Land Use Permit for <br /> access to the pads was granted by the BLM on May 24, 20007 (#C0070849). Shell Frontier <br /> Oil & gas Inc. (SFOGI) has elected to discontinue development of the project and requesting <br /> partial acreage release, it has been determined that reclamation has been achieved and no <br /> new surface disturbances were created subsequent to issuance of the NOI. <br /> 71-8-298 <br /> The 1 installed Hydrology well were plugged and abandoned fall of 2015, the plugging report <br /> submitted to CDRMS Sept 15, 2015. The well casing was cut off at 4ft below final grade, a <br /> metal cap welded with well name identification scribed on cap. The final reclamation phase <br /> was completed in the fall of 2015. The pad was de-compacted and restored to existing grade, <br /> stabilized topsoil was utilized to provide approximately 4" of topsoil covering prior to seeding. <br /> The pad and access road was drill seeded per the approved BLM seed mix (Modified BLM <br /> native mix#2 from 1997 BLM RMP), followed by weed free straw mulch. The continued efforts <br /> of the noxious and annual weed management in combination with spot seeding created a <br /> diverse vegetation throughout the pad, including volunteer Rabbit and Sage brush. CDRMS <br /> annual inspection determined that the pad was predominant volunteer Rabbit Brush with <br /> minimal grazing. No weeds were observed, overall vegetation is at reclamation level compared <br /> to adjacent areas. Final reclamation has been achieved. <br /> 5 <br />
