(ii) A design for the necessary impoundment, treatment or control of all produced water, <br />• runoff water and drainage from workings <br />A 12-ft-deep containment pit measuring about 30-ft-wide by 150-ft-long was constructed on the <br />Test Pad for containing and evaporating waters produced during drilling operations. As required <br />per lease stipulations, the pit was lined, fenced on all four sides with net-wire to exclude both <br />large and small animals and netted to prevent birds from accessing this pit. Fencing and netting <br />were constructed in accordance with BLM specifications. The pit was designed and will be <br />operated to maintain a minimum two feet of freeboard. The pre-existing Shell pit on MWP 1 <br />Pad was filled with subsoil from Test Pad construction. Tanks will be used in lieu of pits on the <br />other drill pads. <br />A General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity (See <br />Appendix 4-7) has been obtained from the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment for the construction activities. All fill areas will be properly compacted to <br />minimize the potential for subsidence or slope failure. To reduce erosion and soil loss, ditches <br />and berms will be constructed to divert stormwater away from the workings. Silt fencing and/or <br />other sediment retention measures will be used to reduce sediment migration from the disturbed <br />area. Lockable gates per BLM specifications were installed at the entrances to the Test Pad and <br />the MWP 1 Pad to prevent unauthorized access to the pad. <br />Water co-produced with the shale oil and gas will be incinerated (See Appendix 4-3). <br />• <br />• <br />49
