LX Bar Coal Bed Infrastructure Removal and Reservoir Reclamation

PART 3 – EXECUTION

The Buffalo Field Office (BFO) proposes to reclaim areas that were disturbed by coal bed natural gas (CBNG) development including removing infrastructure, reservoirs, and reclaiming areas identified herein on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) surface and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered surface within the BFO area in northeastern Wyoming. The proposed actions will take place throughout the BFO area. NEPA was completed by others and is not included as part of this scope of work.

The water contained in the reservoirs is partially produced water from CBNG infrastructure and it is permissible to flow to the downstream reservoirs that remain in place. This produced water was previously analyzed and approved for livestock use in the LX Bar Water Management Plan. The remaining water is surface water. All water stays on the same property owner’s property. There is potential for surface water in Fire Water reservoir, weather dependent.

Objective:

In addition to the construction of the identified reclamation, the contract shall include services to provide permits and their associated maps, plans, technical specifications, and exhibits as needed for the reclamation areas identified on maps and exhibits provided herein. These areas are located on public and private land and shall be reclaimed to match and blend into the surrounding contours. The Contractor shall obtain all necessary permits. BLM has obtained the necessary approvals from the private property owners to perform the Work.

Additional specific reclamation requirements:

• Reference the statement of work and specifications provided.

• Remove all well production infrastructure, such as but not limited to water and gas piping and electrical conduits. It is not the intent to remove the entire horizontal infrastructure, regardless of actual buried depth. All existing pipes and conduits shall be considered active (or “live”) until the Contractor has taken appropriate steps based on standard oil field practices, prudent industry practices as well as all applicable laws and OSHA regulations to verify and validate they are safe to cut and cap.

• All salvageable production equipment shall be transported to a landowner approved site located off Greenough Road at 56N, 74W, Sec.19 SWSW. Lat.44.8126 Long. -105.8150 and as identified on the maps and exhibits.

• No depressions may be left where water can pond, with the following exceptions: areas adjoining the reclaimed sites that have depressions not created by the Contractor’s actions, micro-depressions created to support reclamation success, terminal storm water containments designed to silt-in overtime and other small storm water/snow storage basins. The disturbed areas shall be graded to promote positive drainage in the area and restore positive drainage in the disturbed areas.

Work Dates & Constraints:

1. Notify BLM a minimum of ten (10) working days before any onsite investigation or site visits to allow for BLM to inform property owners and obtain access permission if needed for access across private properties.

2. Provide fifteen (15) working days for each, for the BLM to review permit applications, submittals, and for all products.

3. Final executed permits and deliverable products for all reclamations shall be received by BLM no later than September 30, 2023, and before any Work is performed.

4. Final deliverable products, and at a minimum, the executed permits and design work shall adhere to the construction specifications herein and all necessary permits requirements.

Deliverables Before Field Construction:

Deliverables shall include a detailed itemized construction cost estimate if different than bid amount, two

(2) hard (11”x17” black and white) and an electronic (Cad and PDF) copy of drawings for the Reclamation Plan completed by the Contractor, sealed and signed by a Wyoming licensed Professional Engineer if required by any permit. The completed Reclamation Plans shall contain the necessary information such as survey with a plan and profile sheets including existing and proposed cross-sections of the channels with slopes, topographic information; sediment yields computations and quantity computations as well as any additional information required by the permits. Contractor shall identify on the drawings and set (install) a minimum of three (3) temporary benchmarks outside the area of disturbance of each reservoir area. The Project Reclamation Plan shall include means and methods, schedules with milestones, permits with appropriate drawings and updated quantities and estimates if applicable.

Plan sheets shall be 11”x17”, black and white, and at a 50:1 engineering scale, readable, and consistent throughout plan sheets. All documents, plans, and submittals shall be sealed and signed by a Wyoming P.E.

Pre-Work Conference:

A pre-work conference will be held virtually using Microsoft Teams prior to the start of Work. The Contractor will be notified in advance of meeting time and date. The purpose will be to review the project requirements, and contractual administrative provisions. Site visits will not be conducted during this meeting but may be held in conjunction with the field work as necessary.

b. Place all oil or other petroleum product (hereinafter referred to collectively as oil) storage tanks at least 20 feet from streams, flowing or dry watercourses, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, and any other water source.

c. Diked storage areas shall be at least 12 inches high or graded and sloped to permit safe containment of leaks and spills equal to the capacity of all tanks and/or containers located in each area plus a sufficient amount of freeboard to contain the 25-year rainstorm.
