Subject: RE: Update following conversation with GARCO planner and attorney
Lorne,
I will have the document showing the relationship between Ursa Piceance LLC and Ursa Opco LLC to you
today.
Regarding the language concerning “a commercial RV Park” . The owner had plans to build an RV Park
on a separate area of his property, over a quarter mile away from the Speakman A Pad. However, access
to this RV Park area is on daybreak road, we also access the Speakman A Pad from Day Break Road. The
intent of this language was simply to ensure that, if the owner begins construction on this RV Park, we
would cooperate with them as to limit interference with construction traffic along Daybreak Road.
The location of the SWD well has no impact on the location or operation of any planned RV Park.
Thanks!
