The overall project facility generally conforms to the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed use is not within an area governed by an intergovernmental agreement.
SECTION 7-103. COMPATIBILITY
The proposed facility is consistent with current uses on the subject parcel and adjacent properties.
The proposed injection well will be located on a current natural gas well pad which has been
screened visually from the adjacent Battlement Mesa PUD. The proposed injection well is
compatible with the current use of the project site.
SECTION 7-104. SOURCE OF WATER
A source of potable water will not be required for workers utilizing the site. This facility is not
manned on a regular basis and does not require a fresh water distribution and wastewater system
to properly function. Workers will provide their own potable water in their trucks. Ursa will provide
personnel bottled or potable water at their field office. A source of water is not required for the
operation of the facility. Water will not be required for the operation of sanitary facilities. Portable
toilets will be used and all wastes will be hauled to a licensed treatment facility. Water will not be
required for landscaping. No landscaping is proposed at this site.
Water to be injected into the proposed injection well is generated by Ursa’s natural gas production
assets in the Piceance region. Water delivered to the facility will not infringe on any existing water
rights. The produced water generated from Ursa’s natural gas production operations is a result
of Ursa’s drilling operations within the Williams Fork Formation. This formation is classified as a
nontributary formation. Details specific to the nontributary nature of the water that will be delivered
to the proposed injection well are provided in this submittal. The proposed injection well will not
place a demand on local groundwater resources. The proposed injection well will be used to
dispose of produced water from Ursa’s operations only.

issues related to potential impacts to groundwater. This well will be operated in strict accordance
with COGCC regulations and the approved permit criteria and conditions of approval. Other
required COGCC forms will be submitted when appropriate.
B. Determination of Adequate Water
The proposed injection well will not place a demand on local groundwater resources. The
water disposed of is a result of Ursa’s drilling operations within the Williams Fork
Formation. This formation is classified as a nontributary formation. Details specific to the
nontributary nature of the water that will be delivered to the proposed facility are provided
in the Water Supply Plan section of this submittal.
SECTION 7-105. CENTRAL WATER DISTRIBUTION AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
A. Water Distribution System
The proposed injection well facility will be unmanned. This facility will not require potable
or fresh water distribution within the facility.
Produced water will be hauled to the proposed facility via water truck from the various
Ursa Piceance Basin locations. In time, a pipeline will be constructed to pipe produced
water to the injection well in order to cut down on the number of trucks needed to haul
water and to decrease opportunities for environmental impacts due to water hauling by
truck.
B. Wastewater System
No water is required for sanitary services at the site. The site will be served by porta-
johns provided and serviced by Redi Services. A “Will Serve” letter is included in this
submittal in the Wastewater Management Section.
SECTION 7-106. PUBLIC UTILITIES
A. Adequate Public Utilities
Adequate Public Utilities shall be available to serve the land use. Ursa is working with
Holy Cross Energy to provide electrical service to the pad. Other public utilities are not
required.
B. Approval of Utility Easement by Utility Company
Ursa has not finalized their agreement with Holy Cross Energy to provide electrical service
to the pad. All appropriate easements will be secured as part of this process.
C. Utility Location
High voltage overhead power lines currently exist just north of the project site on the
Speakman property. Fifteen foot utility and drainage easements exist on the north and
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well

south sides of the proposed injection well facility, as well as an 8-foot gas line easement
to the south of the site.
D. Dedication of Easements
Ursa has not finalized their agreement with Holy Cross Energy to provide electrical service
to the pad. All appropriate easements will be dedicated to the public as part of this
process.
E. Construction and Installation of Utilities
Ursa has contracted with Holy Cross Energy to provide electrical power to the site. A copy
of the Job Estimate is provided in this submittal. Utilities will be installed in a manner that
avoids unnecessary removal of trees or excessive excavations and will be reasonably free
of physical obstructions.
F. Conflicting Encumbrances
Ursa has not finalized their agreement with Holy Cross Energy to provide electrical service
to the pad. All appropriate easements will be free from encumbrances.
SECTION 7-107. ACCESS AND ROADWAYS
The proposed injection well facility will not require construction of new roads. The use will utilize
the existing access from Daybreak Drive off of CR 300 (Stone Quarry Road). No traffic will be
routed through the Battlement Mesa area during operation of this facility. Ultimately this facility
will result in a net decrease in traffic impacts to the Battlement Mesa Planned Use Development
(PUD).
A. Access to Public Right of Way
No new roads are proposed to accommodate the proposed injection well facility. Access
to the subject property is from County Road 300, Daybreak Drive and via a private
driveway. The existing roadway and access are adequate for the anticipated low traffic
volumes. Dust from the private driveway will be mitigated as appropriate. Access is
granted via the Surface Use Agreement between Ursa and the owners of the parcel.
Daybreak Drive has been permitted via Driveway Permit number GRB07-D-122 obtained
by Encana Oil and Gas in 2007.
B. Safe Access
The access leading to the project site meets the Semi-Primitive and Primitive
Roadway/Driveway standards of Table 7-107 of the Land Use and Development Code.
The county road system and private driveway provide safe access to the facility.
C. Adequate Capacity
The proposed facility will generate little traffic, and the current road system has adequate
capacity to support the proposal. See Traffic Analysis included with this application for
additional details.
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well
Standards Analysis Page 4
D. Road Dedication
No new public roads are being built or dedicated as part of this project.
E. Impacts Mitigated
Ultimately, this facility will result in a net decrease in traffic impacts to the Battlement Mesa
Planned Use Development (PUD) due to truck traffic not going through Battlement Mesa
to the East Parachute I-70 Interchange to take produced water to an injection well in the
Silt area. County roads between the Monument Ridge, Watson Ranch and Speakman A
well pads will experience impacts from this project that are characteristic of existing natural
gas development in the region due to the trucks originally going to Silt being diverted along
CR 300. No formal mitigation will be required for this project. See the Traffic Analysis for
further information.
F. Design Standards
As stated above, no new roads are being built as part of this project. Existing access
route(s) conform to the standards of Table 7-107 for Semi-Primitive and
Primitive/Driveways.
SECTION 7-108. USE OF LAND SUBJECT TO NATURAL HAZARDS
According to the Geologic Hazard Report, the project area is not subject to rock fall, snow slides,
mud flows, radiation, flooding, or high water tables. The site is located on pre-historic earthflow
and soil creep deposits having the potential to be a geologic hazard affecting the Site. There are
existing wells on the location, and there is other development in the area.
No flood prone areas are mapped in the vicinity of the site. Flash flooding is an issue for lower
elevations along Dry Creek, and areas along the Colorado River located to the north and west
are prone to flood risks.
There are no mining activities shown in the vicinity of the site. Natural gas well drilling has been
conducted in the area since the 1960s.
There are no significant radioactive mineral deposits known in the immediate area of the site. The
presence of NORM may be an issue with exploration and production and could be an issue with
used pipe scale or used equipment. Radioactive materials are not expected to pose a significant
hazard at the Site.
SECTION 7-109. FIRE PROTECTION
A. Adequate Fire Protection
The proposed injection well is located within the Grand Valley Fire Protection District. The
District is aware of the well pad location and can provide adequate fire
protection/response. Ursa is willing to provide training to the District regarding the site
operations if requested.
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well
Standards Analysis Page 5
B. Subdivisions
This standard does not apply as the proposed land use is not a subdivision nor located
within a subdivision.
DIVISION 2. GENERAL RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS
SECTION 7-201. AGRICULTURAL LANDS
A. No Adverse Affect to Agricultural Operations
The operation of the proposed injection well will not adversely affect agricultural operations
on the subject property or adjacent lands.
B. Domestic Animal Controls
The operation of the proposed facility will comply with this standard. No domestic animals
are allowed on the site.
C. Fences
The facility will not generate a potential hazard to domestic livestock or wildlife. No open
storage of hazardous materials or attractions will be conducted on the site. The site is
currently enclosed with a visual and sound buffer that also serves to protect the facility
from possible livestock damage through the completion activities of the natural gas drilling
currently taking place on the site. The parcel is considered open rangeland by the surface
owner, who does not want additional fencing to be erected.
D. Roads
The proposed facility will not impact adjoining roadways beyond current impacts due to
the anticipated low operational traffic volumes. The Project Description and Traffic Study
describes the proposed access. Additional details are shown on the site plan. The
proposed injection well facility will not require construction of new roads. The use will
utilize the existing access from CR 300 to Daybreak Drive.
E. Irrigation Ditches
No irrigation ditches are adjacent to the proposed injection well site. Implementation of
the engineered grading and drainage plan and conformance with stormwater best
management practices will assure that any irrigation ditches on the subject parcel will not
be impacted by the facility.
SECTION 7-202. WILDLIFE HABITAT AREAS
A. Buffers
The proposed injection well is located on an existing well pad and no new surface
disturbance would be required. The area immediately surrounding the Speakman A pad
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well
Standards Analysis Page 6
consists of former pinyon-juniper woodland and sagebrush rangeland that has historically
been developed for agricultural purposes (open rangeland)
The proposed site is currently surrounded by an enclosure which provides visual and
sound buffers to the surrounding properties and thus from habitat areas.
B. Locational Controls of Land Disturbance
The proposed injection well is located on an existing well pad and no new surface
disturbance will be required. No migration corridors are affected. Human presence and
activity may affect animal distribution by creating avoidance areas and increasing stress
on wintering big game. Over time, deer and elk that winter in this area have become
habituated to human activity and the indirect effects of avoidance and displacement have
decreased.
An increase in vehicle traffic could result in additional vehicle related wildlife mortality,
although additional traffic resulting from this project would contribute minimally, given
current traffic volumes on the existing county road. Traffic volumes and speed on the
private road accessing the site are unlikely to result in significant animal mortality from
vehicles.
Fences can pose an increased risk to big game. The site is currently surrounded by a
visual and sound mitigation enclosure.
Equipment is outfitted with bird cones to prevent perching.
C. Preservation of Native Vegetation
1. No additional vegetation removal will be necessary for development of the injection
well since it will be placed on an existing natural gas well pad.
2. Application of the Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan
(IVNWMP) and Ursa’s Noxious Weed Management Plan will provide a degree of
mitigation for the native vegetation that has already been removed. Ursa will also
comply with COGCC Rule 1002 regarding revegetation and control of noxious weeds.
3. Vehicles and equipment traveling from weed-infested areas into weed-free areas
could disperse noxious or invasive weed seeds and propagates, resulting in the
establishment of these weeds in previously weed-free areas.
Several simple practices should be employed to prevent most weed infestations. The
following practices should be adopted for any activity to reduce the costs of noxious
weed control through prevention. The practices include:
Prior to delivery to the site, equipment should be thoroughly cleaned of soils
remaining from previous construction sites which may be contaminated with
noxious weeds.
If working in sites with weed-seed contaminated soil, equipment should be cleaned
of potentially seed-bearing soils and vegetative debris at the infested area prior to
moving to uncontaminated terrain.
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well
Standards Analysis Page 7
All maintenance vehicles should be regularly cleaned of soil.
Avoid driving vehicles through areas where weed infestations exist.
D. Habitat Compensation
Placement of this project within the boundaries of an existing development has resulted in
avoidance of additional contributions to cumulative effects of habitat alteration and
fragmentation in the region. The development of the project is not expected to significantly
affect any critical environmental resources.
E. Domestic Animal Controls
Livestock and big game will likely avoid the project site. Dogs and other domestic animals
are not allowed on site.
SECTION 7-203. PROTECTION OF WATERBODIES
A. Minimum Setback
1. The eastern edge of the project site disturbance is more than 35 feet from the Ordinary
High Water Mark (TOHWM) of the natural drainage that runs south to north to the east
of the proposed injection well.
2. There are no entrenched or incised streams on or adjacent to the proposed project
site.
3. No hazardous material will be stored on the project site. Please see SPCC Plan
included in this submittal for measures to protect surface and ground water from spills.
B. Structures Permitted in Setback
No structures will be located within the 35 foot setback.
C. Structures and Activity Prohibited in Setback
No structures will be located within the 35 foot setback. No work of any kind will occur
within the 35 foot setback.
D. Compliance with State and Federal Laws
The proposed injection well will not impact any Waterbody of the US.
SECTION 7-204. DRAINAGE AND EROSION
A. Erosion and Sedimentation
The proposed injection well will not require clearing or vegetation removal beyond the
existing well pad and previously disturbed area. BMPs such as sediment basins, top soil
berms and wattles will be utilized to ensure the continued protection of water bodies from
stormwater runoff during construction and operation of the facility.
Ursa Operating Company, LLC
Speakman A Injection Well
Standards Analysis Page 8
B. Drainage
1. This standard requires that lots be laid out to provide positive drainage. Lots are not
proposed as part of this land use application. The proposed project will not create any
impacts to existing drainage patterns.
2. This standard also addresses individual lot drainage within a residential development
and is not applicable to this use. The proposed facility will not impact natural drainage
patterns.
C. Stormwater Run-Off
The site has been designed to COGCC standards for stormwater management to control
stormwater runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and
site degradation. BMPs will be maintained until the facility is abandoned and final
reclamation is achieved pursuant to COGCC Rule 1004. The proposed injection well is at
times within 100 feet of a Waterbody, but it will not create 10,000 square feet or more of
impervious surface area.
1. Avoid Direct Discharge to Streams or Other Waterbodies. Stormwater Runoff from
the project areas will be controlled by use of BMPs such as sediment basins, top soil
berms and wattles.
2. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas. The site design will not create more
than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface area.
3. Detain and Treat Runoff. Ursa has incorporated a number of stormwater detention
facilities into the design for this site. Stormwater runoff will be controlled via a
combination of sediment basins, top soil berms and wattles.
a. Detention facilities for this site are intended to ensure the post-development peak
discharge rate does not exceed the pre-development peak discharge rate for the
2-year and 25-year return frequency, 24-hour duration storm.
b. The project site is above the 100- and 500-year floodplain of the Colorado River,
therefore a 100-year storm event should not cause property damage.
c. Channels downstream from the stormwater detention pond discharge have been
designed to prevent increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and
sedimentation from the 25-year return frequency, 24-hour design storm.
d. The detention basin(s) have been designed to incorporate a 40-hour emptying time
for a design precipitation event of 0.5 inches in 24 hours, with no more than 50%
of the water being released in 12 hours.
e. All culverts, and drainage pipes, utilized at this facility are designed and
constructed according to the AASHTO recommendations for a water live load.

be a geologic hazard affecting the Site. There are existing wells on the location and there
is other development in the area, showing that mitigation is not required.
D. Development in Rockfall Hazard Areas
Rockfall areas are not present in the area of the Site. Rockfall areas are present in parts
of the steep canyons and narrow drainages incised by area streams, but are not expected
to be a hazard in the vicinity of the Site.
E. Development in Alluvial Fan Hazard Area
The Site is not in an alluvial fan hazard area. Alluvial fans are present to the northwest
between the site and the Colorado River drainage.
F. Slope Development
Slope is a limitation associated with the Potts and the Potts Ildefonso complex soils and
certain types of development. The Speakman Pad A UIC well construction is not expected
to be adversely affected by the slopes in the area.
G. Development on Corrosive or Expansive Soils and Rock
Corrosive or expansive soils and rock are not expected to be present in the vicinity of the
proposed water impoundment Site. Rocky soils may exist in the vicinity of the site which
may impact the proposed development.
