Placement and Operation 

 of Production Facilities 



Facility planning. 



L-33P Prior to commencement of any field work, permittee shall meet 

 with the land manager and provide specifications of the opera- 

 tion including, but not limited to: (1) maps showing locations 

 of the complex and all interior components, access routes, and 

 equipment storage areas; (2) information concerning sizes, types, 

 and numbers of equipment to be used; and (3) a construction time 

 schedule. The permittee shall agree to a reasonable siting 

 adjustment in order to minimize the disturbance of critical plant 

 assemblages, water flows, important wildlife areas, or other 

 desirable ecological features. All activities shall be confined 

 to those areas as finalized on the attached maps. 



L-36P The permittee shall provide the land manager with a design which 

 restricts the site size to the minimum area required to conduct 

 processing operations, store equipment and supplies, and contain 

 waste materials. The site shall not exceed 5,000 m^ (1.25 acres) 

 unless otherwise authorized by the land manager. 



L-43P All existing primary drainage patterns within the production 



complex shall be maintained uninterrupted by the use of conduit, 

 culverts, or other applicable techniques as specified and author- 

 ized by the land manager. 



Restoration, 



L-37P Upon completion of any oil and gas activity which no longer 



requires the use of an existing processing site, the permittee 

 shall, unless otherwise authorized by the land manager, remove 

 the production facilities and restore the entire easement to 

 its original preconstruction condition or better as specified 

 by the land manager. Restoration measures shall include, but 

 are not limited to: reestablishment of former surface contours, 

 restoration of soil structure, fertilization, revegetation with 

 native flora, restoration of former drainage patterns, and removal 

 of excess fill materials from the refuge. 



L-38P Following removal of production facilities, the land manager 



may conduct an on-site inspection to verify that restoration or 

 mitigation of any environmental damages has been satisfactorily 

 completed and may, at that time, require additional conservation 

 measures necessary to satisfy permit requirements.
