| Title: |
Exceptions to density of wells |
| Text: |
"2.2 Well Location; Exceptions. ... Special exceptions to Article 2.1 may be requested by Four Star in its applications for Infill County Permits. The County will grant special exceptions when the County finds that one or more of the following factors apply in a manner such that use of an existing Well Pad is rendered impractical:
a. topographic characteristics of the site;
b. natural resource constraints (e.g., wetlands);
c. the location of utilities or similar services;
d geologic factors or where issues concerning distances between wells are present;
e. other site conditions beyond the reasonable control of Four Star, including situations in which Four Star is unable to obtain legal access to or satisfactory arrangements concerning use of an existing Well Pad that contains a well operated by another; or
f. safety concerns.
In rare circumstances, the County may also, in its discretion, grant a special exception to Article 2.1 at the request of the Surface Owner and Four Star based upon other impacts that may arise from Pad Drilling." |
