| Title: |
Conduct monthly monitoring of the well site groundwater wells during well drilling and completion activities. |
| Text: |
Conduct monthly monitoring of the well site groundwater wells for the parameters specified in the proceeding recommendation during well drilling and completion activities, followed by annual monitoring for the duration of the Operator's project. All results of this monitoring should be made available to the public within 60 days of sample collection and posted on Garfield County's website. If (1) benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, or xylenes are detected at levels greater than the concentration levels specified in Table 910-1 of the COGCC rules; (2) any cations, anions, metals, or total dissolved solids exceed 1.25 times background concentrations; (3) methane or any chemical identified as a concern from the full disclosure of chemicals exceeds 1.25 background concentrations; or (4) if pH or specific conductance exceeds the limits specified in COGCC table 910-1, the BOCC should require the Operator to remediate as a condition of the special use permit. This type of monitoring is the best way to ensure pollution control measures are effective in protecting the groundwater resource. |
