Section 4-203.M. Water Supply and Distribution Plan.
The Ursa Operating Company's (Ursa) Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I BMC D well operations will
be similar to other natural gas operations in Garfield County. During drilling and completion
operations, potable water will be provided at this facility by Stallion Oilfield Services via their
existing water agreement(s) with the Town of Silt. A will serve letter from Stallion is provided in
this section. Letters from the Town of Silt confirming that the Town has adequate and legal
physical water supply to meet these needs is included.
Ursa has entered into a Water Service Agreement (WSA) with the Battlement Mesa Metropolitan
District (BMMD) to obtain non -potable water for use in drilling and dust control. A copy of the
contract is included in this section. A letter from the BMMC confirming that the District has
adequate and legal physical water supply to meet these needs is included.
During the production phase, the facility will be unmanned with personnel onsite only for short
intervals. Potable water will not be required for daily operations. Personnel will provide their own
potable water carried in their vehicles. Ursa makes potable water available at their field office to
staff and contractors. Sanitary facilities will not require a source of water and will be provided by
portable toilets located
Landscaping installed during the interim and final reclamation of the proposed location will be
provided water as needed from the sources identified.
Water use for this proposed well pad is temporary in nature. Once all of the wells have been
drilled and completed and the landscaping is well established, there will be no additional need for
water at the site.
