| General Comments: |
|
| Cost-Benefit Analysis: |
“For a single pad, it reduces water truck trips by at least 30 percent. For several multiwell pads, it reduces truck trips by 90 percent. It also reduces mobilization and demobilization of fracturing equipment, which means less time, less fuel and less traffic.†|
| BMP Efficacy: |
"Supports reusing produced water to pump hydraulic fracturing treatments and reduces truck traffic and the time to transfer water." |
