Avoid locating well pads on steep slopes. |
| Text: |
Avoid Locating Well Pads on Steep Slopes: "... If you must locate on a steep slope, avoid the sidecast of materials. If this well location could be moved to flatter ground, it would result in less cut, fill, and surface disturbance. Large well locations constructed on steep slopes are difficult to reclaim and can be highly visible." |
