The Archaeological Resource Survey and Paleontological Resource Survey for this area are

attached. MOAC Report #08-295, 2/5/09. Paleontological Resource Survey prepared by, WadeE. Miller, 5/1/08. See attached report cover pages, Exhibit "D".

Newfield Production Company requests 910' of disturbed area be granted in Lease UTU-69060 toallow for construction of the planned access road. Refer to Topographic Map "B". Apermanent width of 30' and a running surface of 18' is proposed for the planned access road. Theconstruction phase of the planned access road will last approximately (5) days. The plannedaccess road will be an 18' crown road (9' either side of the centerline) with drainage ditches alongeither side of the proposed road whether it is deemed necessary in order to handle any run-off fromnormal meteorological conditions that are prevalent to this area. The maximum grade will be lessthan 8%. There will be no culverts required along this access road. There will be barrow ditchesand turnouts as needed along this road. There are no fences encountered along this proposed road.There will be no new gates or cattle guards required. All construction material for this access roadwill be borrowed material accumulated during construction of the access road.

Newfield Production Company requests 910' of disturbed area be granted in Lease UTU-69060 toallow for construction of the proposed surface gas lines. It is proposed that the disturbed area willtemporarily be 50' wide to allow for construction of a 10" or smaller gas gathering line, and a 3"poly fuel gas line, with a permanent width of 30' upon completion of the proposed gas lines. Theconstruction phase of the proposed gas lines will last approximately (5) days. Both lines will tie into the existing pipeline infrastructure. Refer to Topographic Map "C." For a ROW plan ofdevelopment, please refer to the Monument Butte Field SOP.

Newfield Production Company requests 910' of disturbed area be granted in Lease UTU-69060 toallow for construction of the proposed water lines. It is proposed that the disturbed area willtemporarily be 50' wide to allow for construction of a buried 3" steel water injection line and aburied 3" poly water return line, with a permanent width of 30' upon completion of the proposedwater return line. The construction phase of the proposed water lines will last approximately (5)days. Refer to Topographic Map "C." For a ROW plan of development, please refer to theMonument Butte Field SOP. In the event that the proposed well is converted to a water injectionwell, a separate injection permit will be applied for through the proper agencies.


Water DisposalImmediately upon first production, all produced water will be confined to a steel storage tank. Ifthe production water meets quality guidelines, it is transported to the Ashley, Monument Butte,Jonah, and Beluga water injection facilities by company or contract trucks. Subsequently, theproduced water is injected into approved Class II wells to enhance Newfield's secondary recoveryproject.

Water not meeting quality criteria, is disposed at Newfield's Pariette #4 disposal well (Sec. 7, T9SRl9E), State of Utah approved surface disposal facilities, or Federally approved surface disposalfacilities.

Threatened, Endangered, And Other Sensitive SpeciesMountain Plover: If new construction or surface disturbing activities are scheduled to occurbetween May 15 and June 15, detailed surveys of the area within 0.5 mile of the proposed locationand within 300 feet of proposed access routes must be conducted to detect the presence of mountainplovers. All surveys must be conducted in accordance with the survey protocols outlined in the mostrecent USFWS Survey Protocol. Surveys must be completed prior to initiating new construction orsurface disturbing activities. No new construction or surface disturbing activities will be allowedbetween May 15 and June 15 within a 0.5 mile radius of any documentedmountain plover nest site.

Burrowing Owl: Due to the proximity of the location to active prairie dog towns, there is thepotential to encounter nesting burrowing owls betweenApril 1 and August 15. If new construction orsurface disturbing activities are scheduled between April 1 and August 15, pre-construction surveyswill be conducted to detect the presence of nesting burrowing owls within 0.5 mile of any newconstruction or surface disturbing activity (see Vernal BLM Field Office Protocol). No newconstruction or surface disturbing activities will be allowed between April 1 and August 15 within a0.5 mile radius of any active burrowing owl nest.

Reserve Pit LinerA 16 mil liner with felt is required. Please refer to the Monument Butte Field SOP.

Location and Reserve Pit ReclamationPlease refer to the Monument Butte Field SOP.

The following seed mixture will be used on the topsoil stockpile, to the recontoured surface of thereserve pit, and for fmal reclamation: (All poundages are in pure live seed)

Newfield would like to have the followingApproved APD's Rescinded. (See attached list).Most of these APD's were permitted and approved in 2010 or earlier. We would like toemphasize thatthis is not an on-going issue and thatwe have drilled or plan to drill95% of theAPD's we've applied for in recent years. These were some areas and play typesthatwe wereassessing that we had to permit in advance due to long permit lag time -- thiscaused us to"over-permit" these areas/plays so that we would have options to drill if successful.

SURFACE USE PROGRAMCONDITIONS OF APPROVAL (COAs)

• All new and replacement internal combustion gas field engines of less than or equal to 300 design-rated horsepower must not emit more than 2 gms of NOx per horsepower-hour. This requirement

does not apply to gas field engines of less than or equal to 40 design-rated horsepower.

• All and replacement internal combustion gas field engines of greater than 300 design ratedhorsepower must not emit more than 1.0 gms of NOx per horsepower-hour.

• If there is an active Gilsonite mining operation within 2 miles of the well location, operator shallnotify the Gilsonite operator at least 48 hours prior to any blasting during construction.

• If paleontological materials are uncovered during construction, the operator is to immediately stopwork and contact the Authorized Officer (AO). A determination will be made by the AO as to whatmitigation may be necessary for the discovered paleontologic material before construction cancontinue.

SITE SPECIFIC COAs:

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:

• Construction and drilling is not allowed from May 1 - June 15 to minimize impacts during mountain plovernesting.

• Construction and drilling is not allowed from March 1 - August 31 to minimize impacts during burrowingowl nesting.

• If it is anticipated that.construction or drilling will occur during any of the given timing restrictions, a BLM orqualified biologist shall be notified so surveys can be conducted. Depending upon the results of the surveys,permission to proceed may or may not be granted by the BLM Authorized Officer.

Reclamation

Interim Reclamation:

Interim reclamation of the surface environment shall take place after drilling and completion and the well isplaced into production. At a minimum, this will include the stabilization of the soil surface during construction,re-contouring of the unused pad area, and the reserve pit to the original contour to the extent possible, and the re-

spreading of the top soil after re-contouring takes place, up to the rig anchor points and any area not needed forproduction. Buried pipelines will be re-contoured, the salvaged topsoil redistributed and reseeded. The outside

borrow of the access road will have the top soil salvaged and re-spread and reseeded. The area will be reseeded

using appropriate seeding methods, which includes, but is not limited to, the drill seeding method (see below).Any adjustments, due to site specific production concerns, to the reclamation COAs in this document can besubmitted on Sundry form 3160-5.

The reclamation objective is to establish a desired self-perpetuating diverse plant community. The objective is to

attain 75% basal cover based on similar undisturbed adjacent native vegetativegggogprised of

DEC22 2009DIV.0FOIL,GAS&


12/9/2009

desired species and/or seeded species within 5 years of initial reclamation action. However if after three (3)growing seasons there is less than 30% of the basal cover based on similar undisturbed native vegetative

community, then the Authorized Officer may require additional seeding efforts.

Topsoil will be segregated from the subsoil (without mixing them), stockpiled separately from other soilmaterials, and maintained for future use in rehabilitating the locations.

• Topsoil piles stored beyond one growing season will be stabilized and seeded to prevent erosion.

• Topsoil storage areas will be identified with appropriate signage, so it is easily identifiable where topsoil is onlocation.

• Noxious and invasive weeds will be inventoried and monitored. Noxious and invasive weeds will be controlledthrough integrated weed management including chemical, mechanical, and biological control methods. Anapproved Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) is required for all herbicide applications.

• All trash and waste materials not needed for production will be removed immediately.

• Earth work for interim and final reclamation must be completed within 6 months following well completion or

well plugging (weather permitting).

• Salvaged topsoil will be re-distributed evenly, and to pre-disturbance depths, over the surfaces to be revegetated.

• The soil surface will be prepared to provide a seedbed for re-establishment of desirable vegetation. Sitepreparation may include gouging, scarifying, dozer track-walking, mulching, hydro mulching, contour

furrowing, water terracing, fertilizing, disking, soil additives or other approved methods. The seedbed

preparations will be determined to accomplish the reclamation objectives above.

• The seeding contractor will provide all seed tags to the appropriate SMA prior to seeding efforts.

• Seeding will occur after August 15 and prior to winter freezing of the soil.

• Drill seeding will be used except in areas where topography or substrate composition (rock) precludes the use of

the drill. If drill seeding is not possible, broadcast seeding will be implemented. If the broadcast method is used(such as on slopes of 40 percent or greater), the seed rates established for drill seeding will be doubled and seedwill be immediately covered to prevent seed desiccation or predation by birds or rodents. The seeds can becovered in several ways including spreading and crimping straw over the seeded area, raking the area by hand, ordragging a chain or chain-linked fence over the seeded area.

• Any altered drainages or water courses will be stabilized through rip rap, berming, seeding, matting, or otherapproved methods, and will be reconstructed to have the characteristics and features of nearby functionaldrainages. Any disturbance to "dashed line" drainages as depicted on USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps will becoordinated with the corps of engineers prior to disturbance.

Final Reclamation:

Final Reclamation will be similar to interim reclamation except, all disturbance associated with the well location,access road and pipeline will be reclaimed. The seed mix may include more shrubs and native species. The visual

composition will be reestablished to blend with the natural surroundings through re-co to eæg.

e After pipeline installation is complete, all disturbed areas will be reseeded. The seed mixtures to be used will besimilar to the vegetation of the surrounding areas and may consist of grasses, forbs, or shrubs. A recommended

seed mixture is provided in the table below.

Monitoring:

• The initial monitoring report will include but is not limited to: when the re-contouring and seeding was

completed. The seed applied, the amounts, and the depth of application. Seedbed preparation such as disking ,

mulching, etc. Seed application such as drilling or broadcast seeding. Are there any soil amendments,fertilizers, watering, etc. The amounts of noxious and invasive weeds. Are any fencing requirenients needed.

• Prior to any surface disturbance, vegetative monitoring locations and reference sites will be identified by theoperator and approved by the BLM Authorized Officer.

• Vegetation monitoring protocol will be developed by the operator and approved by the BLM Authorized Officer

prior to implementation of re-vegetation techniques and will be designed to monitor % basal vegetative cover.

• Reclamation areas will be inspected annually and monitored to document location and extent of areas with

successful re-vegetation. Monitoring will continue until the site is considered a success by the authorized officer

and the objectives established in the Green River District Guidelines. A reclamation report will be submitted

electronically to the Authorized Officer by March 31 of each year.

• On Federal lands, the reclamation objective will be a vegetation community that within 5 years is comprised of

desired and/or seeded species, where the basal vegetative cover is 75 percent of a similar undisturbed adjacentnative vegetation community. If after 3 years basal cover is less than 30 percent, then additional seeding and

reclamation efforts may be required.

SURFACE USE PROGRAMCONDITIONS OF APPROVAL (COAs)

• All new and replacement internal combustion gas field engines of less than or equal to 300 design-rated horsepower must not emit more than 2 gms of NOx per horsepower-hour. This requirement

does not apply to gas field engines of less than or equal to 40 design-rated horsepower.

• All and replacement internal combustion gas field engines of greater than 300 design ratedhorsepower must not emit more than 1.0 gms of NOx per horsepower-hour.

• If there is an active Gilsonite mining operation within 2 miles of the well location, operator shallnotify the Gilsonite operator at least 48 hours prior to any blasting during construction.

• If paleontological materials are uncovered during construction, the operator is to immediately stopwork and contact the Authorized Officer (AO). A determination will be made by the AO as to whatmitigation may be necessary for the discovered paleontologic material before construction cancontinue.

SITE SPECIFIC COAs:

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:

• Construction and drilling is not allowed from May 1 - June 15 to minimize impacts during mountain plovernesting.

• Construction and drilling is not allowed from March 1 - August 31 to minimize impacts during burrowingowl nesting.

• If it is anticipated that.construction or drilling will occur during any of the given timing restrictions, a BLM orqualified biologist shall be notified so surveys can be conducted. Depending upon the results of the surveys,permission to proceed may or may not be granted by the BLM Authorized Officer.

Reclamation

Interim Reclamation:

Interim reclamation of the surface environment shall take place after drilling and completion and the well isplaced into production. At a minimum, this will include the stabilization of the soil surface during construction,re-contouring of the unused pad area, and the reserve pit to the original contour to the extent possible, and the re-

spreading of the top soil after re-contouring takes place, up to the rig anchor points and any area not needed forproduction. Buried pipelines will be re-contoured, the salvaged topsoil redistributed and reseeded. The outside

borrow of the access road will have the top soil salvaged and re-spread and reseeded. The area will be reseeded

using appropriate seeding methods, which includes, but is not limited to, the drill seeding method (see below).Any adjustments, due to site specific production concerns, to the reclamation COAs in this document can besubmitted on Sundry form 3160-5.

The reclamation objective is to establish a desired self-perpetuating diverse plant community. The objective is to

attain 75% basal cover based on similar undisturbed adjacent native vegetativegggogprised of



12/9/2009

desired species and/or seeded species within 5 years of initial reclamation action. However if after three (3)growing seasons there is less than 30% of the basal cover based on similar undisturbed native vegetative

community, then the Authorized Officer may require additional seeding efforts.

Topsoil will be segregated from the subsoil (without mixing them), stockpiled separately from other soilmaterials, and maintained for future use in rehabilitating the locations.

• Topsoil piles stored beyond one growing season will be stabilized and seeded to prevent erosion.

• Topsoil storage areas will be identified with appropriate signage, so it is easily identifiable where topsoil is onlocation.

• Noxious and invasive weeds will be inventoried and monitored. Noxious and invasive weeds will be controlledthrough integrated weed management including chemical, mechanical, and biological control methods. Anapproved Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) is required for all herbicide applications.

• All trash and waste materials not needed for production will be removed immediately.

• Earth work for interim and final reclamation must be completed within 6 months following well completion or

well plugging (weather permitting).

• Salvaged topsoil will be re-distributed evenly, and to pre-disturbance depths, over the surfaces to be revegetated.

• The soil surface will be prepared to provide a seedbed for re-establishment of desirable vegetation. Sitepreparation may include gouging, scarifying, dozer track-walking, mulching, hydro mulching, contour

furrowing, water terracing, fertilizing, disking, soil additives or other approved methods. The seedbed

preparations will be determined to accomplish the reclamation objectives above.

• The seeding contractor will provide all seed tags to the appropriate SMA prior to seeding efforts.

• Seeding will occur after August 15 and prior to winter freezing of the soil.

• Drill seeding will be used except in areas where topography or substrate composition (rock) precludes the use of

the drill. If drill seeding is not possible, broadcast seeding will be implemented. If the broadcast method is used(such as on slopes of 40 percent or greater), the seed rates established for drill seeding will be doubled and seedwill be immediately covered to prevent seed desiccation or predation by birds or rodents. The seeds can becovered in several ways including spreading and crimping straw over the seeded area, raking the area by hand, ordragging a chain or chain-linked fence over the seeded area.

• Any altered drainages or water courses will be stabilized through rip rap, berming, seeding, matting, or otherapproved methods, and will be reconstructed to have the characteristics and features of nearby functionaldrainages. Any disturbance to "dashed line" drainages as depicted on USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps will becoordinated with the corps of engineers prior to disturbance.

Final Reclamation:

Final Reclamation will be similar to interim reclamation except, all disturbance associated with the well location,access road and pipeline will be reclaimed. The seed mix may include more shrubs and native species. The visual

composition will be reestablished to blend with the natural surroundings through re-co to eæg.

DEC22 2009DIV.0F OIL,GAS&

e After pipeline installation is complete, all disturbed areas will be reseeded. The seed mixtures to be used will besimilar to the vegetation of the surrounding areas and may consist of grasses, forbs, or shrubs. A recommended

seed mixture is provided in the table below.

Monitoring:

• The initial monitoring report will include but is not limited to: when the re-contouring and seeding was

completed. The seed applied, the amounts, and the depth of application. Seedbed preparation such as disking ,

mulching, etc. Seed application such as drilling or broadcast seeding. Are there any soil amendments,fertilizers, watering, etc. The amounts of noxious and invasive weeds. Are any fencing requirenients needed.

• Prior to any surface disturbance, vegetative monitoring locations and reference sites will be identified by theoperator and approved by the BLM Authorized Officer.

• Vegetation monitoring protocol will be developed by the operator and approved by the BLM Authorized Officer

prior to implementation of re-vegetation techniques and will be designed to monitor % basal vegetative cover.

• Reclamation areas will be inspected annually and monitored to document location and extent of areas with

successful re-vegetation. Monitoring will continue until the site is considered a success by the authorized officer

and the objectives established in the Green River District Guidelines. A reclamation report will be submitted

electronically to the Authorized Officer by March 31 of each year.

• On Federal lands, the reclamation objective will be a vegetation community that within 5 years is comprised of

desired and/or seeded species, where the basal vegetative cover is 75 percent of a similar undisturbed adjacentnative vegetation community. If after 3 years basal cover is less than 30 percent, then additional seeding and

reclamation efforts may be required.
