(/ ) Notary Public Ilr Ca Mt9.9e u Cxpues Sept.2,2009 D • SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does not pertain to your use, please respond with "not applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable. 1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. Drill, complete and operate oil and gas wells directionally drilled from one drilling pad in the SE%. There will be one tank battery for all wells. The number of tanks (intensity)will depend on production. At some point a compressor may be needed to increase line pressure. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 (Comprehensive Plan). "Oil and gas development in the County is an integral part of the County economy, and has a substantial direct and indirect impact on current and future land use. Oil and gas development is cyclical but the economics of drilling has caused extensive drilling activities in the County. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-6)." "Oil and gas exploration and production should be conducted in a manner which minimizes interference with existing surface use and mitigates the impact on future land uses. OG. Goal 2. The extraction of oil and gas resources should conserve the land and minimize the impact on surrounding land. " Applicant is directionally drilling three or more wells from one pad, thereby mitigating the impact on future land uses and minimizing the impact on the surrounding property. The one battery for the three wells also mitigates and minimizes the impact. 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located. OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION FACILITIES are permitted in an I-1 zone as a use by special review. Applicant is hereby making application for a use by special review for the three wells which are located in an I-1 zone and any additional wells allowed under the rules of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and drilled from the same pad. 4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The surrounding lands uses are agricultural and industrial (Kodak plant). There is an existing oil and gas well within the same general area as the proposed wells. The grouping of wells at one pad is consistent with good land use, taking as little land out of production as possible while ensuring that the oil and gas resources are developed. One battery site, next to an existing Noble battery site, will minimize land dedicated to oil and gas development. 5. Describe, in detail, the following: a. How many people will use this site? Six to ten workers, 24 hours per day, during drilling. Completion, for a short period of time (less than 12 hours), may involve up to 20 workers. Thereafter, only an occasional visit from the pumper is anticipated. -7- b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? None c. What are the hours of operation? Production is anticipated at all times. d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site? Separation equipment (minimum of two separators), gas metering (likely two meters) and crude oil storage tanks (likely two 300-bbl tanks) are anticipated. In the future, depending on line pressures, a compressor may be necessary to ensure sufficient pressure to sell into existing lines. e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site? None f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often? After drilling and completion, an occasional crude oil tank truck will visit the tank battery to pick up crude oil, and the pumper is expected to visit the wells on a daily basis via pickup truck. During drilling, the rig will be brought in by trucks -approximately 20 - and assembled on the site. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? Windsor/Severance First Protection District h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation). No water will be needed other than that brought in by water trucks. There is no ongoing need for any water. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed). No system exists. Portable toilets are used during drilling and completion; thereafter no facilities. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored? N/A 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. No landscaping is proposed. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. Separators, meter houses and tanks will be removed. The wells will be plugged and abandoned in full compliance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules. 8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. There is not anticipated to be any additional storm water drainage due to limited land disturbance. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. The wells have been drilled. Battery construction will take place concurrently with completion activities, which are subject to the availability of men and equipment. A date certain is not possible -8- due to an acute shortage of available subcontractors. ^ 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. There will be no storage or stockpiling of wastes. -9- WELD COUNTY ROAD ACCESS INFORMATION SHEET Weld County Department of Public Works 111 H Street, P.O.
