David Schnabel, Project Manager, Access Exploration Corp. LLC, and Extraction Oil & Gas, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the Item. Council Member Gruber pointed out many of the citizen comments related to safety, well pad operations and Impact on property values, which was an Issue the City was responsible for, noting the active drilling was what created Impact. He asked the tlmeframe from putting up the walls to taking them down. Mr. Schnabel estimated the range of operations would be six to nine months. Council Member Gruber stated the extraction processes used tank-less well sites and asked what the land would look like once the derricks were removed. Mr. Schnabel clarified It would begin as a tanked facility which would turn into a tank-less design sometime in the future. Council Member Gruber asked Mr. Schnabel to speak to the environmental safety issues evaluated by the state. Mr. Schnabel did so. Council Member Gruber referenced citizen comments related to safety issues and asked for a discussion on the Identification and mitigation of those Issues by the state. Josh Carlisle, Health, Safety Regulatory {EHSR) Manager, Extraction Oil & Gas, Environmental, did so. Mayor LeGare asked for a definition of the acronyms COGCC and CDPHE referenced by Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Schnabel. Mr. Carlisle stated Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and Colorado Department of Public Health and Envlronment.(CDPHE) Council Member Johnston referenced the leak detection and repair camera (LDAR) and asked where the monthly monitoring was called out In the agreement. Mr. Carlisle stated It was a part of CDPHE regulation 7. Council Member Johnston asked If It was called out In the specific application with the City. Mr. Carlisle reiterated It was a state rule that required that type of monitoring for every facility, noting he did not believe It was specifically called out In the USR application. Council Member Johnston asked the standard repair mitigation tlmeframe If a leak was detected. Mr. Carlisle stated the state required five calendar days. He discussed Extraction Oil & Gas' standards and site operations process that dealt with leaks, noting there was a miniscule percentage of leaks that required a specialized crew. Council Member Bergan pointed out the permit was approved by the COGCC. She noted land use was In the purview of City Council and the application met all of the City's requirements In terms of setbacks, road maintenance, water agreements, and noise barriers and sounds walls. She asked Mr. Carlisle to speak to the use of the closed loop system. Mr. Carlisle did so, noting that was a part of the state regulated portion of the business. Council Member Bergan noted the applicant canvased the Fox Ridge Farms community door-to-door and asked If any objections were raised. Mr. Carlisle answered no, noting only general questions and concerns were raised. Council Member Hiltz asked If tank-less meant truly tank-less or If that meant moving the tanks offslte to a different location. Mr. Schnabel stated all of the tanks would be moved to a central location, noting a tank would always be located on the site for spill or contamination prevention. Council Member Hiltz stated It was therefore not tank-less but tank-elsewhere. Mr. Schnabel concurred. Council Member Watson asked what would be visible on the site after two years. Mr. Schnabel stated those who were famillar with oil and gas wells might recognize the sites but given the topography, only tan fuzzy plats could be seen from a distance. • The City Charter prescribes the Mayor may vote on resolutions and ordinances only to create or break a tie vote of Council Members present.

He further discussed their efforts with the Front Range Emergency Resource Co-op. Council Member Watson asked if working with first responders for safety was an ongoing process. Mr. Carlisle answered affirmatively. Council Member Johnston referenced the Emergency Preparedness Plan, noting she had concerns related to how stretched first responders were already without emergencies and asked if the applicant was willing to take the next step beyond training and would agree to provide and fund an adequate supply of aqueous foam. Mr. Carlisle stated that Issue related to a broader agreement rather than on a pad-by-pad basis. Council Member Johnston stated she was interested in a plan beyond training that had more detailed evacuation routes and health facilities to be used, and asked If the applicant was willing to provide more of that detailed plan and reimbursement should Aurora Fire Rescue be required to respond to an emergency. Mr. Carlisle agreed they would work with City staff and first responders for that use by special review commitment to provide reimbursement for those services for this agreement or a broader one.

Ms. Parnes confirmed the applicant met all current code requirements. Council Member Gruber noted a consistent theme In citizen concerns was air quality and asked for a discussion of those requirements and specifically how citizens would be protected. Mr. Schnabel did so. Mr. Carlisle noted he was an Aurora resident who was invested In the community. He continued the air quality mitigation discussion. Council Member Lawson asked how the smell would be contained because smell could be an asthma trigger. Mr. Carlisle discussed managing odors rather than emissions. Council Member Johnston discussed her experience when the Colorado School of Public Health, University of Colorado-Anschutz provided their findings to the Oil & Gas Advisory committee. She stated the CDPHE Executive Director was present at the presentation, noting his role was a politically appointed position. She pointed out that while both the school and the executive director agreed more research was necessary, she stated she trusted the science of a neighbor such as the school over a political appointee's opinion. She asked If the applicant's position for the application has been reevaluated based on what the community has requested. Eric Jacobson, Senior Vice President, Extraction & Access, expressed appreciation for all of the comments and requested the application be approved on Its merits as It was presented. • The City Charter prescribes the Mayor may vote on resolutions and ordinances only to create or break a tie vote of Council Members present The Mayor Pro-Tem Is always permitted to vote on all items. January 7, 2019 Page 8 Mayor LeGare raised the topic of sound barriers and asked if a sound barrier was proposed for the north side of the site. Mr. Carlisle answered affirmatively. Mayor LeGare noted the sound barrier on the west appeared to be more robust than the sound barrier on the north and asked if all of the sound barriers were the same. Mr. Carlisle answered affirmatively. Mayor LeGare asked if a sound barrier was proposed for the south side of the side. Mr. Carlisle answered no. Mayor LeGare asked why that was so. Mr. Carlisle stated that was due to a sound analysis that was done at the time of the application. Council Member Bergan asked If the 32' wall was required or was It done In mitigation with staff. Mr. Carlisle stated neither, noting It was the standard design of the sound wall . Mayor LeGare closed the public hearing on the Item . Motion by Gruber, second by Bergan, to affirm item lla. Council Member Johnston expressed appreciation to all those who spoke at and attended the meeting, noting she would not support the motion . She encouraged the citizens In attendance to not give up because times were changing and having everyone come together was what democracy was all about. She stated she was available to talk about next steps of what could be done in this regard. Council Member Hiltz echoed Council Member Johnston's comments. She noted the recent situation where another oil and gas company worked extensively with the City to ensure steps were taken to work with the residents. She pointed out conversely, the applicant Initially stated they did not see the Aurora City Council as an authority which was reaffirmed after the resident testimony when they were asked If they wanted to reconsider any of the options on the table and they replied no. She stated she was Initially open to having those conversations but noted as It was very clear that was not the applicant's intent, she would not support the motion. Council Member Watson expressed appreciation to all those who came out to the meeting, noting the meeting began with the discussion of the Council's purview. He noted there was a lot of discussion about what was going on In Broomfield In terms of oil and gas development. He contended some of the same things were also going on in Aurora . He pointed out that while City Council followed the state guidelines, they were not making decisions based solely on what the state was saying. He noted City staff did a good job of mitigating citizen concerns. He stated his support of the motion because the applicant has followed many of the guidelines. He pointed out the applicant continued to work with first responders which was a critical part of the situation because many of the concerns raised related to the 'what lfs' that could happen in this instance. He noted that was a developing process. He stated he considered all of Aurora to be his neighborhood, noting Aurora was becoming more stringent as to how they worked with the oil industry. He agreed with some of Council Member Johnston's comments related to changes in the state that might impact the City's decision-making on the matter. Mayor LeGare addressed Mr. Quirk's previous question regarding why the Mayor and several council members did not vote to call-up the item. He stated the reason he did not support the call-up was because the application had met every City requirement. He pointed out City staff reviewed the application and found It to be In compliance. He stated his concern that bringing the Item back allowed the City Council to potentially oppose It which in turn would cause a lawsuit that the City would lose and all of that cost the taxpayers' money. He suggested all of the passion and opposition generated by this issue could be redirected to the state legislature to work towards changing the rules that the COGGC worked under. He • The City Charter prescribes the Mayor may vote on resolutions and ordinances only to create or break a tie vote of Council Members present.
