I discussed the issue with the property owners and it is and has been their intent to not allow animal units to be grazed in the open space. This will be clearly stated in the covenants, which will be submitted as part of the final plan application. The property owners have been working with a seed company to establish a drought tolerant species in the open space. Details will be noted in the improvements agreement as part of the final plan submittal. The watering and maintenance of the proposed trees in the open space will be with a tank truck to insure that the trees are established and during times of drought. We have been working with the property owners on the landscape plan and plant materials to establish a drought tolerant plan for more efficient use of water. The details of the maintenance of the plant materials will be part of the Final Plan submittal and on-site improvements agreement as well as part of the covenants. Thank you for discussing this with me today and if you need any further information don't hesitate to give me a call at 970-689-4249. The property owner has been in contact with the oil and gas operator on this site and we will be forwarding information concerning that either today or tomorrow. Have a good day. ,.� Todd A.

BEFORE THE OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION OF SHE STATE OF COLORADO IN THE MATTER OF THE PROMULGATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF FIELD RULES TO ) GOVERN OPERATIONS IN THE CODELL ` CAUSE NO, 407 FORMATION IN ADAMS, BOULDER, JEFFERSON, LARIMER AND WELD COUNTIES, ) • ORDER NO. 407-1 COLORADO _ ) REPORT OW THE COMMISSION This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on November 21, 1983 at 10:30 a,m. and November 22, 1983, in the Old Supreme court Chambers, 2nd Floor, State Capitol Building and continued to December 19, 1983 in Room 110, State Centennial Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required, upon the Commission's own motion to determine the proper drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and/or gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell formation underlying certain lands in Adams, Boulder,,, ._ Jefferson, Latimer and Weld Counties, Colorado. FINDINGS The Commission finds as follows: 1, Due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law, 2. The Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter embraced in said Notice, and of the parties interested therein, and jurisdiction to promulgate the hereinafter prescribed order. 3. The areas an described in Order No. 403-1, Johnstown Field and Order No. 381=1, Bracewell Field, which have previously been e", spaced for production from the Oedell formation and all of Sections 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 and 30, Township 6 North, Range 65 Nest, Greeley Field, Weld County should be deleted from the area, 4. Evidence presented at the hearing demonstrates that the codell formation constitutes a common source of supply of oil and/or gas and associated hydrocarbons underlying the following described lands in Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, Larimer and Weld Counties, Colorado, to-wit: Township 1 North, Ranges 64 thru 70 West (inclusive) , 6th P.M.

All ". 5. Geological and engineering evidence presented at the O. 1 bearing indicates that the Codell formation appears to be a contiguous reservoir covering a large areal extent. The formation consists of fir ' grained, highly clay-filled, tight sands. However, there a stratigraphic barriers, some faulting and geological differences of localized nature throughout the arek\that would be more clearly defined as drilling proceeds. Reservoir characteristics are not fully known and vary throughout the area. It appears tat the reservoir is predominately oil bearing in the western portion and changes to condensate/gas toward the east. Prating is necessary for production and the results may vary from area to area. The reservoir is not considered to be rate-sensitive. 6. Evidence presented at the beating indicates that a ,.- . general spacing pattern of 80-acre drilling and spacing units would be reasonable and in accordance with the provisions o₹ the statute. However, due to the localized variations of the formation, it may be appropriate at the discretion of the operator to drill on a closer spacing than 80-acres, therefore, flexibility should be provided in the order to allow the operator to drill an additional well on the undrilled 40-acre tract .in the 80-acre unit. 7. In order to prevent waste and the unnecessary flaring or gas, no gas should be allowed to be flared from wells with a producine . gas-oil ratio of 500-1 or more, and wells with a producing gas-oil rat less than 500-1 should be restricted to no more than 25 MCP/day. order to avoid premature abandonment of wells, exceptions should L-- granted to wells not capable of producing n0 more than 10 barrels of oil per day or 60 MCP of gas per day. 0, In order to prevent waste of oil and gas as defined by law; to protect correlative rights of all parties concerned; to prevent the drilling of unnecessary wells and to insure proper and efficient development and promote conservation of the oil and gas resources of the State, an order should be issued establishing 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and/or gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell formation, common source of supply underlying the lands described herein. The units should consist of 80-acres, mote or less, and consist of the E1/2 and W1/2 or the Nl/2 And 51/2 of a quarter section according to the governmental survey, the unit to be designated by the operator upon drilling the first well in the quarter section. . The permitted well should be located in the center of • either 40-acre tract within the unit, with a tolerance of 200 feet in any direction. Exceptions may be granted by the Director, provided owners of the contiguous and cornering units file a waiver or consent in writir agreeing to said exception. Existing wells producing from the Cod formation and locations should be considered the permitted wells for ♦ '"- units upon which they are located. - 2 - (407-1) 1 Ellen 970-587-2749 p. 4 AUG-15-2002 THU 11:27 AN SOUTHWESTERN I JOTION FAX NO 3035340102 P.
