Explain,in detail,the proposed use of the property. Whiting Oil and Gas is proposing a produced water injection facility in the A(Agricultural)Zone District on a 600 acre parcel located in the southeast quarter of Section 26,Township 10 North, Range 58 West. This facility will handle only Whiting Oil and Gas produced water and will not operate as a commercial facility. The water that is brought to this facility is from the surrounding vicinity. This water will be delivered to the location primarily by pipeline; however, the ability to truck water in is also proposed. The site is accessed from an existing lease road.This lease road starts from CR 133 and continues south,then generally west-southwest to the disposal location. The vicinity map shows the proposed water injection facility location as it relates to county roads. This facility is anticipated to operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Whiting Oil and Gas is concurrently submitting a subdivision application for the land that is being leased from Timbro Ranch &Cattle Co, LLC where this facility will be constructed. The land that this disposal well sits on has already been cleared as it is drilled adjacent to wells that are producing oil and gas from the Niobrara formation. The facilities for this well are on land just west of the disposal well and this location has not yet been cleared. The facility is anticipated to be unmanned other than routine maintenance being done on the facility. The expected flow into this facility is up to 15,000 barrels per day and is expected to reach this flow very shortly after being put into service if not immediately. As stated, the majority of this volume will be piped in, eliminating the need for approximately 50 trucks daily that are currently traveling great distances on Weld county roads to commercial injection wells. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive plan. With the development and use of the saltwater disposal wells, it will provide the most efficient means of transportation. Sec 22-5-90, subsection C, states that the most efficient and environmentally friendly way to transport product is by pipeline, rather than by truck. The wells will eliminate the need for approximately 50 water trucks per day,which will reduce the consumption of resources, damages to the road and road congestion, and help with the mitigation of dust. This also supports Sec 22-3-60,Transportation Goals and Policies and the goal of considering alternative modes of transportation, and reducing the overall Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). 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. With the development and use of the saltwater disposal wells, it will provide the most efficient means of transportation. Sec 23-1-40, Purpose and Intent, paragraph A, subsection 1, is met with the reduction of congestion on the streets and roads or reducing the waste caused by excessive amounts of road use. 4. What type of uses surround the site (explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses). Surrounding the proposed location of the saltwater disposal well are oil production facilities to support overall production of oil and natural gas. The location of the wells were also discussed and approved by the landowner, through the use of a Surface Use Agreement. No residential homes are located near or are visible to this location. 5. Describe, in detail, the following: a. Number of people who will use this site. These sites will be unmanned and the primary method of water delivery will be by pipeline. Due to the location of this SWD facility being collocated with oil production facilities,there will be significant oil truck traffic at the site daily until the start-up of Whiting Oil and Gas' oil pipeline (expected Q1'15). Actual traffic associated with the disposal well will be minimal and will include approximately one visit per day by a pickup truck to do routine maintenance and inspections. The facility is being built to accommodate up to 50 water trucks daily; however, the expectation is that the facility will see no more than 5 water trucks daily under normal operating conditions. The few water trucks that will visit this site will be travelling many fewer miles on county roads than they otherwise would without this facility. b. Number of employees who will use this site. The site will be unmanned and the wells will be monitored remotely. c. Hours of operation. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. d. Type and number of structures to be built on this site. • Up to twenty four 750 BBL tanks. • Up to 2 1,000 BBL tanks. • Up to 4 400 BBL tanks. • One Separator. • One Enclosed Pump Skid. • One Power Distribution Building. • One Truck Unloading Skid. • One Data Controls Building with remote monitoring. • One communications tower. • One disposal wellhead. e. Type and number of animals, if any, to be on this site There will be no animals housed on the site. f. Kind of vehicles(type, size, weight)that will access this site and how often. Trucks that will access the site include 18-wheeler water haul trucks with a capacity of 190 BBLs. These trucks will access the site no more than 50 times daily, with the average being around 5 visits daily. In addition, 4-wheel drive pickup trucks will access the site for maintenance and inspections approximately 30 times per month. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? The property falls within the New Raymer—Stoneham Fire Protection District h. Water source on the property (both domestic and irrigations). There is no existing water source (domestic or irrigation), on the property. Bottled water for human consumption will be provided during construction and operation. i. Sewage disposal system on the property (existing and proposed). There is no existing sewage disposal system on the property. Portable toilets will be provided during construction and once the site is operating. There are no plans to permit for a sewage disposal system. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed,what type of items will be stored? No storage or warehousing is proposed for this site. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. There are no neighbors around the site to require screening and there is no irrigation to the site to support landscaping; therefore, no landscaping is proposed. The native vegetation around the site will remain. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. When termination of the facility occurs,the facilities will be removed and the land will be returned to its native state including its natural terrain as well as reseeded with native vegetation. 8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. The natural terrain slopes to the south, providing drainage in the case of high water. The location being applied for a USR is 15.806 acres on an approximately 600 acre parcel; therefore no drainage report is required. A water quality feature has been added to the plats. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Whiting anticipates that it will take three to five months to construct the site, which will begin as soon as the USR application is approved and recorded. No landscaping is proposed for the site. The native vegetation around the site will remain. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpiles of wastes that will occur on this site. There will be no storage and/or stockpiles of wastes on this site. 11. Please list all proposed on-site and off-site improvements associated with the use (example: landscaping, fencing, drainage, turn lanes, etc.) and a timeline of when you will have each one of the improvements completed. - There will be no improvements to the landscaping. Surrounding the proposed well are other wells, which have already been permitted. A fence will be constructed around the well on Razor 26 J pad. This improvement will be completed during the anticipated three to five month construction period, which will begin as soon as the USR application is approved and recorded. The natural terrain slopes to the south, providing drainage in the case of high water. The location being applied for a USR is 15.806 acres on an approximately 600 acre parcel; therefore no drainage report is required. Turn lanes will also be constructed on the SWD pad. This improvement will be completed during the anticipated three to five month construction period, which will begin as soon as the USR application is approved and recorded. Traffic Narrative Trucks that will access the site include 18-wheeler water haul trucks with a capacity of 190 barrels. These trucks will access the site an average of 5 or fewer times per day. In addition,4-wheel drive pickup vehicles will access the site for maintenance and inspections approximately 30 times per month. As this site will be operational 24 hours a day and is generally an unmanned facility,there are no peak traffic hours when more water hauling vehicles would be expected to access or use the site. The pickup truck visits,approximately 1 per day,will generally be during normal business hours between 6 AM and 4 PM. All vehicles are expected to access this site via a lease road that begins at the beginning of CR 116&CR 133 (Access Permit#AP11-00363). During operation of this facility, most of the traffic,approximately 75%, is expected to be accessing the site from CR 133 to the north and the remainder is expected to access the site from CR 116 to the west. Whiting will agree to improvement triggers as required by Weld County of: -200 vpd or significant dust as identified by County-Mag-Chloride dust abatement -300 vpd alternative pavement -400 vpd pavement -10 vph during peak hour turning left into the facility-left deceleration lane -25 vph during peak hour turning right into the facility-right deceleration lane -50 vph during peak hour turning right out of the facility-right acceleration lane Drainage Report This property is located on slightly higher ground than the land to its east or west and therefore has little water that flows onto the property from outside of this location. The water currently leaves the property to the south as the location has a gentle slope (about 7' across the location) in that direction. As a result of this work, drainage flows should not significantly change direction, the grade from north to south will simply be reduced. This location will have an imperviousness of around 40% as defined by the UDFCD manual as it will consist of road base and existing soil, however the parcel this location is on is 360 acres so the overall perviousness of the property will change very little. A water quality feature will be added to the southern end of the location per UDFCD guidelines. This feature will be approximately 75'x75' and will be 3' deep to exceed the requirements of Section 3.3 of Volume 3 of the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria manual. Groundwater Monitoring Plan To ensure the integrity of groundwater,Whiting will construct a SWD well with numerous barriers of protection: Whiting will run a string of 9-5/8" steel casing to approximately 1600' and cement the casing to surface; In addition,Whiting will run a string of 7" casing to approximately 8300' (the total depth of the well) and will cement the casing to surface; Finally, Whiting will run a string of 3-1/2" internally coated injection tubing inside of the 7" casing with a packer, which is a device that provides an additional pressure seal inside the wellbore. A Cement Bond Log(CBL)will be run to evaluate and ensure the cement behind the casing is capable of providing a pressure and mechanical barrier—engineers and regulators at the COGCC will verify the cement quality is adequate. Whiting's proposed disposal zones are between 7000' and 8200',which is even deeper than the Niobrara formation,from which oil and gas are currently being extracted. The three (3) strings of steel tubulars, in conjunction with 2 layers of cement, will ensure protection of groundwater from the water being injected into the deeper formations. An initial pressure test will be performed on the casing, tubing and packer per the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCCC) regulations to ensure the wellbore is competent(otherwise known as a Mechanical Integrity Test, or MIT), and will be witnessed by a COGCC official. By law,Whiting will comply with a maximum injection pressure and maximum injection rate, also set and regulated by the COGCC. Monthly injection pressure and rate records will be kept and submitted to the COGCC. Daily monitoring will be performed to ensure the wellhead and all surface equipment is functioning properly. Automation equipment will be installed for an added safety feature to shut-down operations if any major component should malfunction. Finally,Whiting will perform Mechanical Integrity Tests every five (5)years to prove wellbore integrity,to be witnessed by a COGCC official. If at any time wellbore integrity is in question, Whiting will cease injection operations and restore integrity to the wellbore. Waste Handling Plan This location will be unmanned,so there will be no trash service at this saltwater disposal well location during operation. Employees and contract truck drivers will be responsible for taking any trash generated onsite to a location with waste handling capabilities. During construction,a trash dumpster will be provided on-site. Whiting's preferred trash service is Wolf Waste Removal. The only wastes to be handled on this site are water and trace amounts of oil. The water will be disposed of in the injection well. The oil will be separated from the water and held in the four onsite oil tanks. This oil will be removed from the site via truck initially,with the possibility of adding a pipeline to move oil off the site at a later date. Whiting has multiple oil trucking companies on contract in the area and will likely utilize multiple companies to truck the oil. Scale inhibitor is the only chemical planned to be stored onsite. Whiting would keep no more than 500 gallons onsite at any given time. These chemicals would be stored in a tank and would either be located in a building with a sump or be contained within a secondary containment of 36" high corrugated steel with a liner. The location will depend on where they will be most effective. The purpose of these chemicals is to treat the water to extend equipment life. The chemicals will not need to be disposed of offsite as they will be added to the water in trace amounts to perform their functions. Tank bottoms will be cleaned as needed, which Whiting anticipates to be approximately once per year. They will be cleaned by draining the tanks, injecting hot water into the tanks to mix up the solids and re-draining the tanks. Waste Management is the company Whiting will be hiring removal/disposal out to. Razor 26J Water Injection Facility Dust Abatement Plan • During construction, a water truck will be utilized to control dust. • The access road and facility pad will consist of gravel road base. Since traffic to the site will be sparse and at various times of day, dust will primarily be controlled by limiting speed of vehicles on the site. If for any reason the traffic to the site is expected to be heavier than normal,water trucks will be utilized to control dust. Closure Plan Once this well is no longer in operation,the proper steps will be taken to return this site to its native state. This will include plugging and abandoning the well according to current regulations, removing all equipment to approved locations, bringing the land back to its original slope, and planting native grasses to re-vegetate the location. 0 -00( Weld County Public Works Dept. 44Q\alleA -4 1111 H Street it or col P.O.
