Prior to commencement of drilling activity, operator shall provide to the Township's first responders, and Zoning Officer, a copy of its preparedness, prevention and contingency (PPC) plan.

Before drilling, the Township shall ascertain whether the Township's first responders have secured adequate information to deal with any potential dangerous conditions that may result due to development activities. The Township Zoning Officer, Township Engineer, Township Emergency Management Coordinator and first responders shall have on-site orientation and be provided adequate awareness information. Upon request from the Township, operator will, prior to drilling of an oil and gas well, make available with at least 30 days' notice, at its sole cost and expense, and appropriate site orientation for first responders. Such site orientation shall be made available at least annually during the period when the operator anticipates drilling activities in the Township.

Operator shall take the necessary safeguards to ensure appropriate dust-control measures are in place.

Recognizing that the specific location of equipment and facilities is an important and integral part of the oil and gas development, and as part of the planning process, operator shall strive to consider location of its temporary and permanent operations, where prudent and possible, so as to minimize interference with Township residents' enjoyment of their property and future Township development activities as authorized by this chapter and Chapter 360, Subdivision and Land Development.

Recognizing that adequate and appropriate lighting is essential to the safety of those involved in the development of oil and gas, the operator shall take steps, to the extent practicable, to direct site lighting downward and inward toward the drill site, wellhead or other are being developed so as to attempt to minimize glare on public roads and adjacent buildings within 300 feet of the drill site wellhead or other area being developed.

Prior to drilling an oil and gas well or multiple oil and gas wells at a location, but no later than two weeks beforehand, the operator shall provide the following information to both the Township Zoning Officer and each resident within 1,000 feet of the planned surface location of the wells(s):

In addition to the above requirements, for any oil and gas well where the planned surface location of the well will be within 600 feet of a protected structure, the operator shall:

In addition to the requirements in Subsection B(1) through (14) above, prior to drilling an oil and gas well or multiple oil and gas wells at a location, no later than two weeks beforehand, the operator shall notify each resident where horizontal drilling will take place under their property for informational purposes.

The Township recognizes and acknowledges that oil and gas development is accompanied by inherent noise. However, the operator shall take the following steps to minimize, to the extent practicable, the noise resulting from the development:

If a complaint is received by the Township from any person, whether a resident or otherwise, using the protected structure as defined herein for any lawful purpose, regarding noise generated during drilling or hydraulic fracturing activities, the operator shall, within 24 hours of receipt of the complaint from the Township, continuously monitor for a forty-eight-hour period at a point which is closer to the complainant's building of:

If the operator engages in any noise testing as required by this chapter, it will provide preliminary data to the Township no later than 10 business days following completion of the noise testing. Once the monitoring is complete, operator will meet with the Township Zoning Officer or Township Code Enforcement Officer and affected residents to discuss whether possible noise abatement measures are warranted, if the permitted levels set for herein were exceeded.

Exhaust form any internal combustion engine or compressor used in connection with the drilling of any well or for use on any production equipment or used in development shall not be discharged into the open air unless it is equipped with i) an exhaust muffler or ii) an exhaust box. The exhaust box shall be constructed on noncombustible materials designed and installed to suppress noise and disruptive vibrations. Moreover, all such equipment with an exhaust muffler or exhaust box shall be maintained in good operating condition according to manufacturer's specifications.

All work over operations shall be restricted to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., except in the extent of an emergency, as reasonably determined by the operator. "Work over operations" shall mean work performed in a well after its completion in an effort to secure production where there has been none, restore production that has ceased, or increase production.

Operator will ensure that any and all vehicles servicing oil and gas well site, whether owned by the operator or not, are equipped with mufflers and other equipment to minimize the noise generated by the use of these vehicles.

Subsection B(1), (15), (16) and (17) above shall not apply to coal bed methane and conventional oil and gas well drilling and completion activities, i.e., those wells drilled to depths shallower than the base of the Elk sandstone or its stratigraphic equivalent, and such oil and gas well drilling of a single well on a well site for no more than seven consecutive days total in any calendar year.

The Township reserves the right to review and approve all temporary housing arrangements for employees of operator and any subcontractors working on the oil and gas well site during the duration of drilling operations.

All permanent surface facilities shall be painted an earth tone color to blend in with the surrounding area. The Township may require fencing and or landscaping to buffer the facilities from adjacent properties.

No drilling will be conducted closer than 300 feet to any adjacent property line or public right-of-way without written permission from that adjacent property owner(s) and/or lessor(s) of the property.

No drilling operations shall be conducted closer than 600 feet from the center of the drilling pad to any existing dwelling school, hospital or similar residential use or to any water source for such uses without written permission from those owner(s) and/or lessor(s).
