STAFFING OF LOCAL AND MUTUAL AID AGENCIES Colorado River Fire Rescue is a fire protection district. It is staffed by a combination of approximately 41 full-time, 9 part-time, and 13 volunteer staff. Under normal conditions, the district maintains three staffed and two unstaffed stations. One additional station is staffed with interagency firefighters. After a failed mill levy in 2020, the district closed Station 43 in South Rifle. The district continues to maintain Station 41 in North Rifle. The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office has approximately 144 staff. The Emergency Management Commander reports that the Sheriff and is assigned a sergeant to support staffing for emergency response. 9. SITE SETTING Well Pad 25A and the surrounding area are shown in Appendix B. The well pad is located on private land at 9,129’ in elevation. It was constructed in 2008 and is approximately 2.6 acres. The well pad surface is bare ground with no vegetation. It is surrounded by cut and fill dirt work. The surrounding area is aspen woodlands. The border with U.S. Forest Service land is approximately 2,070’ north of the well pad. Beaver Creek, a perennial stream, runs through TPR and is approximately 1,440’, or more than 0.25 miles, downgradient of the well pad. The nearest residence is approximately 1.7 miles to the northwest. The only structure within a 1/2-mile radius of the well pad is an unoccupied, unimproved cabin on TPR used to store outdoor gear, tables, tools, and other non- hazardous supplies. Emergency Response Plan CPX Piceance Holdings, LLC TPR Well Pad 25A 4 February 2022 10. DETAILED LAYOUT A detailed layout of Well Pad 25A during well development is shown in Appendix C. The well pad currently has 3 produced water tanks and 1 condensate tank inside of lined steel secondary containment in the southwest corner of the well pad. A combustor also is located on the south side of the well pad. At full build out, there will be an anticipated 7 produced water tanks, 1 condensate tank, and 8 quad separators inside of lined steel secondary containment. Three existing buried flowlines tie into the northwest side of the well pad, cross TPR, and continue in a buried flowline trench adjacent to NFSR 824 to CPX’s production pad on private property near the intersection of NFSR 824 and CR 317. The flowlines transport natural gas, condensate, and produced water or freshwater . 11. EQUIPMENT AND STORED MATERIALS New well drilling on Well Pad 25A will require the equipment and stored material listed below. The equipment is shown in Appendix C. The equipment will be removed when drilling and well completion is finished. • Company man housing • Drill cuttings trench • Directional house • Drill rig • Mud engineering • Generator house • Tool pusher shed • Diesel tank • Change house • Pump skid • Utility Shed • Mixing skid • Air handler • Process skid • Office • Suction tank • Water tanks • Shale shaker • Flare stack • Mud tanks • Gel tank and bar tank • Totes of drilling support chemicals During production, equipment and material stored on the Well Pad are anticipated to include the following: • 7 450-bbl produced water tanks • Combustor • 1 450-bbl condensate tank • Injection pump for corrosion control chemical injection • 8 quad separators A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan will be updated and maintained for the location. 12. SENSITIVE AREAS There are no sensitive areas affected by Well Pad 25A. Beaver Creek is located approximately 1,440’ downgradient, and across the TPR access road, from the well pad. Groundwater in this area is an estimated 80’ deep. There is no residential development. The nearest residence is approximately 1.7 miles to the northwest. Emergency Response Plan CPX Piceance Holdings, LLC TPR Well Pad 25A 5 February 2022 13. POTENTIAL IMPACTS, PREVENTION, AND MIT IGATION Potential impacts include: • Storm damage • Materials spill or release • Lightening • Equipment failure • Wildfire • Motor vehicle or on-site accident CPX personnel typically are on site a minimum of 5 days per week. The field staff live within 15 minutes of Well Pad 25A, which facilitates a consistent on-site presence to detect a problem at the location. Staff will monitor for storm- related damages, equipment failure and maintenance needs, and accidental spills or re leases. Tanks on the location are inside of lined steel secondary containment sized to contain 150 percent of the volume of the largest tank. This prevents release of a spill to the environment. The SPCC Plan for the location describes additional controls and response. Material used on the well pad will be properly containerized and stored to prevent exposure to elements and spills. Site equipment will be maintained in good working condition and operated according to training and manufacturer specifications. The well pad will be kept weed free to avoid ignition of vegetation with a vehicle catalytic converter. Staff and vendors will be expected to limit speeds to avoid accidents and overturned vehicles. 14. RESPONSE EQUIPMENT CPX maintains spill response material to respond to a spill or accident, consisting of booms and absorbents. The response materials will support cleanup of small leaks or spills, such as produced water, oil, lubricants, or incidental fuel leaks. The drum where response material is stored will be inspected a minimum of annually, and material will be replenished, if needed. In the event of a larger incident, CPX will manage and oversee support from a third-party provider to respond to an unintentional release and any potential soil contamination. 15. HEALTH AND SAFETY ACTION LEVELS The drill operator and other support personnel will be on site during well drilling and completion. Their presence will provide continuous communication about site conditions and site safety. During production, a well operator will maintain and monitor the site approximately 5 times per week. The operator will observe secondary containment, the separators, and wellhead areas. The operator will monitor for pressure drops in pipelines that could indicate an issue with equipment or valves. An operation and maintenance log will document health, safety, maintenance, and repair issues. The log will be used to record repairs, any preventative maintenance scheduling, and incidents. This information will help to identify site conditions requiring attention. In the event of an incident, Well Pad 25A will be used for a staging area. If Well Pad 25A is not available, nearby Well Pad 36A will be used for staging. Well Pad 36A is undeveloped and does not contain producing wells or equipment. Emergency Response Plan CPX Piceance Holdings, LLC TPR Well Pad 25A 6 February 2022 16. TRAINING COORDINATED WITH LOCAL RESPONDERS In the event of an emergency requiring first responders, a unified command will be established between the CPX appointed representative on location and first responders from Colorado River Fire Rescue. A command post will be established based on conditions present at the time of an incident. Site personnel will be trained on the types of incidents that may occur on site and the appropriate response. Incidents include those listed below. Through this Plan, potential incidents are being coordinated with Colorado River Fire Rescue for agency input. • Injury from equipment operation • Medical emergency • Equipment failure causing injury • Slips, trips, falls • Equipment failure causing fire • Insect stings and bites • Equipment failure causing pressure release • Weather-related incident • Grass fire or wildfire • Motor vehicle accident Most accidents consist of minor injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, trips, and sprains. Most medical incidents typically involve cold or heat exposure, sunburn, and insect stings and bites. Vehicles operating at the site will be required to carry general first aid supplies. On-site self-treatment is typically sufficient for an incident until personnel are able to leave the site and, if warranted, receive any additional follow up treatment. Notification to the CPX Principal will occur within 24 hours for all health and safety incidents. Serious incidents may require a 911 response. Personnel will be instructed that the nearest major medical facility is the Grand River Hospital in Rifle, CO. It is approximately 12 miles from Well Pad 25A.
