ACCESS ROAD AND WELL LOCATION INTRODUCTION
The proposed access road and well pad were staked as described above in the NW /4 NE /4 of Section 29
T22N R112W. The access road and well site were surveyed and staked at a topographically and
geologically preferable location by 609 Consulting, LLC (609).
A) The running surface for the new access road will be crowned/ditched with a running
surface 116' and the total disturbed width to be ±40'.
Plans for improvement and/or maintenance of existing roads are to maintain in as good or
better conditions than at present. A regular maintenance plan will include, but not be
limited to blading, ditching, and surfacing. Existing roads will be maintained and
improved in accordance with BLM Manual Section 9113.
B) Borrow ditches to be back sloped 3:1 or shallower.
C) Maximum grades will not exceed BLM standards for roads on Federal surface.
D) Drainage features, if needed, will be installed prior to commencement of drilling
operations.
E) Surfacing material to consist of native material from borrow ditches. Road will be "spot"
graveled on steeper slopes during drilling and will be gravel surfaced if the well is
completed as a producer. Gravel will be hauled by truck from one of the following
sources:
Granger Pit— Sec 29 T19N R111W
Lincoln Pit #1 Sec 25 T21N R113W
F) No major road cuts are necessary.
G) New fence cuts and gates and /or cattle guards will not be necessary.
H) Access roads will be upgraded and maintained as necessary to prevent soil erosion and
accommodate year -round traffic.
Plan of Development A._adarko E &P Company, LP
SF -299 for Access Road Right -of -Way Cow Hollow 21 -19D Pad
I) All equipment and vehicles will be confined to the access road, pad, and areas specified
in the SUA.
J) Construction activity shall not be conducted using frozen or saturated solid material or
during periods when significant watershed damage (e.g. rutting, extensive sheet soil
erosion, formation of rills /gullies, etc.) is likely to occur.
K) Vegetative debris is not permitted in or under fill embankments.
2) NEW PRODUCTION FACILITIES PROPOSED (See Sheet 8 -Well Pad Reclamation
Layout)
The new production facilities are to be on fee surface and will be constructed according to
the terms in the SUA.
Page 3 of 7
A) As possible, the new production facilities will be consolidated and placed on the main
well pad.
B) Facilities to be constructed on location will be as shown on the enclosed Typical
Production Facility Layout.
C) Dimension of the pad itself is 800' x 380' more or less (7.27 acres) for drilling operations.
Total disturbance for the entire pad, including reserve pit, topsoil and excess material
spoil piles, and typical construction disturbance will be approximately 10.48 acres.
D) Site preparation for production will be done with standard excavation equipment using
native materials. Additional surface material will be obtained from commercial sources or
the approved borrow area. Production facilities (including dikes), if used, must be placed
on the cut portion of the location and a minimum of 15 feet from the toe of the back cut.
Salvaging and spreading topsoil will not be performed when the ground or topsoil is
frozen or too wet to adequately support construction equipment. If such equipment
creates ruts in excess of four (4) inches deep, the soil will be deemed too wet.
E) Production equipment will be painted light reflective colors to limit evaporation and
waste of liquid hydrocarbons, per SUA specifications.
All permanent above the ground structures, tank batteries, etc. if used, that will remain
longer than six (6) months will be painted as described by SUA to blend in with the
surrounding topography and vegetation. The exception being that Wyoming Occupation
Health and Safety Act Rules and Regulations are to be complied with where special
safety colors are required.
F) Production facilities may vary according to actual reservoir discovered and will be
engineered upon completion of well tests. As much as possible, production facilities will
be clustered and placed away from cut slopes and fill slopes to allow the maximum
recontouring of cut and fill slopes.
If used, a dike will be constructed completely around the production tanks. Any
production pits will be fenced with at least four (4) strands of barbed wire and held in
place by side posts and comer H- braces.
If the well is a producer, all production facilities it listed herein will be authorized by
Sundry Notice with WOGCC.
G) No facilities will be constructed off location except as noted in paragraph A) above.
H) Rehabilitation of unneeded, previously disturbed areas will consist of backfilling and
contouring the reserve pit area, back sloping and contouring all cut and fill slopes to the
surrounding topography. No depressions will be left that trap water or form ponds. These
areas will be re- seeded. Refer to plans for restoration of surface for additional details.

I) Pits which contain oil, if used, will be overhead flagged. The hydrocarbons will be
removed as soon as possible.
J) The pipeline ROW will be handled under separate cover.
3) SOURCE OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
A) Construction materials will consist of native materials from borrow ditches and location
areas.
B) Surfacing materials will be obtained from available permitted sources, if nigeded, and
consist of pit gravel.
C) The gravel will be obtained from one of the following sources: r

4) ANCILLARY FACILITIES
No ancillary facilities will be necessary. t
5) WELLSITE LAYOUT (See Sheet 6 -Well Pad Location Layout and Sheet 8 -Well Pia
Reclamation Layout)
The pad will be on fee surface and will be constructed according to the terms in the SUA.
A) See attached drill site plat and cut/fill diagram.
B) Roads and well production equipment, such as tanks, treaters, separators, vents, electrical
boxes, and equipment associated with pipeline operation, will be placed on location so as
to permit maximum interim reclamation of disturbed areas. If equipment is found to
interfere with the proper interim reclamation of disturbed areas, the equipment may be
moved so proper recontouring and revegetation can occur.
C) If there is snow on the ground when construction begins, the operator will remove it
before the soil is disturbed, and pile it downhill from the topsoil stockpile location.
D) Both backslope and foreslope will be constructed no steeper than 1Y2:1.
E) Topsoil will be removed prior to location construction from the reserve pit area and/or
any other disturbed areas. Topsoil will be stockpiled adjacent to the wellsite within the
maximum disturbed area shown on the wellsite plat.
F) Topsoil and spoils pile will be clearly separated.
G) Erosion control measures will be applied pursuant to Anadarko's General Permit to
Discharge Stormwater under the Wyoming Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and
accompanying Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
6) LOCATION OF WATER SUPPLY (See Sheets 15A 15K Water Source Route maps)
A) Water will be transported by truck as shown on Sheets 15A -15K under existing permits or
other available commercial source. Water will be transported by truck. If a closer water
source is identified and deemed usable, Anadarko will submit a SN with the necessary
information.
B) Anticipated water use is as follows:
Road watering will be done only if dry conditions dictate, and would utilize
approximately 900 bbls (37,800 gallons or 0,.11 acre feet).

A) Salvaging and spreading topsoil will not be performed when the ground or topsoil is
frozen or too wet to adequately support construction equipment. If such equipment
creates ruts in excess of four (4) inches deep, the soil will be deemed too wet.
B) Earthwork for interim and final reclamation must be completed within six (6) months of
well completion or plugging (weather permitting).
C) In areas that will not be drill- seeded, the seed mix will be applied and fertilized as agreed
upon in the SUA.
D) No seeding will occur from May 15 to September 15. Fall seeding is preferred and will
be conducted after September 15 and prior to ground freezing. Spring seeding will be
conducted after the frost leaves the ground and before conditions get too hot and dry to
promote healthy growth, as determined on a case -by -case basis.
E) Annual or noxious weeds shall be controlled on all disturbed areas as directed by the
Field Office Manager on reclaimed Federal surfaces only. An intensive weed monitoring
and control program will be implemented beginning the first growing season after interim
and final reclamation. Noxious weeds that have been identified during monitoring will be
promptly treated and controlled. A Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) will be submitted to the
BLM for approval prior to the use of herbicides. All reclamation equipment will be
cleaned prior to use to reduce the potential for introduction of noxious weeds or other
undesirable non native species. The operator will coordinate all weed and insect control
measures with state and /or local management agencies.
F) Reclaimed areas will be monitored annually. Actions will be taken to ensure that
reclamation standards are met as quickly as reasonably practical.
G) Reclamation monitoring will be documented in an annual reclamation report submitted to
the Authorized Officer (AO) by December 31. The report will document compliance with
all aspects of the reclamation objectives and standards, identify whether the reclamation
objectives and standards are likely to be achieved in the near future without additional
actions, and identify actions that have been or will be taken to meet the objectives and
standards. The report will also include acreage figures for: Initial Disturbed Acres;
Successful Interim Reclaimed Acres; Successful Final Reclaimed Acres. Annual reports
will not be submitted for sites approved by the AO in writing as having met interim or
fmal reclamation standards. Any time 30% or more of a reclaimed area is redisturbed,
monitoring will be reinitiated.
H) The AO will be informed when reclamation has been completed, is successful, and the
site is ready for fmal inspection.
INTERIM RESTORATION (Production)
The pad will be on fee surface and will be reclaimed according to the terms in the SUA.
A) Rehabilitation of unneeded, previously disturbed areas will consist of backfilling and
contouring the reserve pit area, back sloping and contouring all cut and fill slopes. These
areas will be re- seeded.
B) Wellpad size will be reduced to minimum size necessary to conduct safe operations. Cuts
and fills will be reduced to 3:1 or shallower.
C) Reserve pits will be closed and backfilled as soon as the pit contents are dry enough to do
so, or no later than the end of the next full summer following rig release, whichever
comes first, to allow sufficient time for the pit contents to dry. To expedite pit closure, the

pits may be dried using evaporation. Reserve pits remaining open after this period will
require written authorization of the AO. Immediately upon well completion, any
hydrocarbons or trash in the reserve and flare pits will be removed. Pits will be allowed
to dry, be pumped dry, or solidified in -situ prior to backfilling.
D) Following completion activities, pit liners will be removed or removed to the solids level
and disposed of at an approved landfill, or treated to prevent their reemergence to the
surface and interference with long -term successful revegetation. If it was necessary to
line the pit with a synthetic liner, the pit will not be trenched (cut) or filled (squeezed)
while containing fluids. When dry, the pit will be backfilled with soil material. In
relatively flat areas, the pit area will be slightly mounded to allow for settling and to
promote surface drainage away from the backfilled pit.
E) The portions of the cleared well site not needed for operational and safety purposes will
be recontoured to the original contour if feasible, or if not feasible, to an interim contour
that blends with the surrounding topography as much as possible. Sufficient level area
will remain for setup of a workover rig and to park equipment. In some cases, rig anchors
may need to be pulled and reset after recontouring to allow for maximum interim
reclamation.
F) Topsoil will be evenly respread and aggressively revegetated over the entire disturbed
area not needed for all- weather operations including road cuts and fills and to within a
few feet of the production facilities, unless an all weather, surfaced, access route or small
"teardrop" turnaround is needed on the well pad.
G) Initial seedbed preparation will consist of backfilling, leveling, and ripping all compacted
areas. Final seedbed preparation will consist of contour cultivating to a depth of 4 to 6
inches within 24 hours prior to seeding. A certified weed -free seed mix as agreed to in the
SUA will be used. The seed mix will be used on all disturbed surfaces including pipelines
and road cut and fill slopes.
H) To help mitigate the contrast of recontoured slopes, reclamation will include measures to
feather cleared lines of vegetation and to save and redistribute cleared trees, debris, and
rock over recontoured cut and fill slopes.
I) A proposed seed mixture for this location will be as described in the SUA.
J) Reclamation will be considered successful as specified in the SUA. The vegetation will
consist of species included in the seed mix and/or occurring in the surrounding natural
vegetation.
FINAL RESTORATION (P A Removal of equipment)
The pad will be on fee surface and will be reclaimed according to the terms in the SUA.
A) Flowlines on location will be removed before site reclamation and all flowlines between
the wellsite and production facilities will remain in place and will be filled with water.
B) As needed in areas, the pad will be fenced to exclude livestock grazing for the first two
growing seasons or until seeded species become firmly established, whichever comes
later.
C) Revegetation will be accomplished by planting mixed grasses as specified below.
Revegetation is recommended for road area as well as around production site.
D) A proposed seed mixture for this location will be as described in the SUA.
E) Initial seedbed preparation will consist of backfilling, leveling, and ripping all compacted
areas. Final seedbed preparation will consist of contour cultivating to a depth of 4 to 6
inches within 24 hours prior to seeding. Seeding will be conducted no more than 24 hours

following completion of fmal seedbed preparation. A certified weed -free seed mix as
agreed to in the SUA will be used. The seed mix will be used on all disturbed surfaces
including pipelines and road cut and fill slopes.
F) Distribute topsoil, if any remains, evenly over the location, and seed according to the
above seed mixture. If needed the access road and location shall be ripped or disked prior
to seeding. Perennial vegetation must be established. Additional work shall be required in
case of seeding failures, etc.
G) All disturbed areas, including roads, pipelines, pads, production facilities, and interim
reclaimed areas will be recontoured to the contour existing prior to initial construction or
a contour that blends indistinguishably with the surrounding landscape. Resalvaged
topsoil will be spread evenly over the entire disturbed site to ensure successful
revegetation. To help mitigate the contrast of recontoured slopes, reclamation will include
measures to feather cleared lines of vegetation and to save and redistribute cleared trees,
woody debris, and large rocks over recontoured cut and fill slopes.
H) BLM will not release the operator's bond until the area has been successfully reclaimed
(evaluation will be made after the first growing season) to the standards of the surface
owner or surface management agency.
I) An above -round tubular metal dry -hole marker will be erected over the drill -hole upon
cessation of drilling and /or testing operations. The marker will be inscribed with the
operator's name, well number, well location, and federal lease number. Upon request of
the surface owner, the casing may be cut off three (3) feet below reclaimed ground
surface (or below plow depth) with a metal plate affixed to the top providing the same
well information as stated above. This must consist of a piece of pipe not less than four
inches in diameter and ten fee in length, of which four feet shall be above the general
ground level and the remainder being imbedded in cement. The top of the pipe must be
closed by a welded or screw cap, cement or other means.
