7.a. If applying for outfalls under Option 2, are any of the proposed Option 2 outfalls DIRECT DISCHARGES*that

would require the use of assimilative capacity credits for salt and sodium in the Powder River? YES NO. Not applicable, this facility is located within the Belle Fourche River watershed.

If “yes”, please complete Table 5. *DIRECT DISCHARGE means those discharges that are not or are only partially contained within reservoirs. Discharges to reservoirs that only overtop and spill during storm events are not subject to assimilative capacity requirements. Direct discharges that can meet Powder River ambient concentrations for TDS and sodium are also not subject to assimilative capacity requirements.

7.b. If applying for outfalls under Option 2, is it possible that INTENTIONAL RESERVOIR RELEASES* will be

requested for any of the reservoirs receiving CBM discharges under this permit? YES NO. Not applicable, this facility is located within the Belle Fourche River watershed.

*INTENTIONAL RESERVOIR RELEASE means purposeful and intentional reservoir releases (opening a valve or pumping out a reservoir) to provide freeboard within a reservoir. Discharges that occur solely in response to storm events are not considered intentional reservoir releases, and do not require assimilative capacity credits. Intentional reservoir releases are authorized on a case-by-case basis and require WDEQ approval above and beyond a WYPDES surface discharge permit (authorization application form available on WDEQ website).

8. If submitting a major modification or permit renewal, please describe all requested permit modifications (i.e. add 2

outfalls, add 23 wells, move outfall 001 500 feet…): • Remove the following outfalls: 002, 003, 004, 006 and 007. These outfalls have been deconstructed. Photo

documentation is attached: constructed/deconstructed. • Remove 43 wells for a total well count of three (3) wells remaining. • Remove the Gates-Wall coal seam. Please note WPX considers the Gates, Wall and Gates-Wall to be the

same coal seam. • Well information has been updated to reflect Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission records. • Reduce monitoring of dissolved calcium, dissolved magnesium, dissolved sodium, sodium adsorption ratio

and specific conductance from “Monthly April through September” to “Quarterly”.




9. Name(s) and mailing address(es) of owner(s) of the surface rights on whose land the discharge occurs (in cases where the land is owned by the state or federal government but surface rights are leased to a private individual, provide lessee’s name and address).

Landowner Name #1 Geer, Virginia Revocable Trust

Landowner Name #2 Persson, Terrance C. & Cindy L.

Mailing Address 1027 Clarkelen Road

Mailing Address 2449 State Highway 50



10a. Please provide the maximum anticipated discharge rate, in million gallons per day (MGD), from this facility:

The maximum anticipated discharge rate from this facility is 1.0 MGD. 10b. Does this facility rely on containment in reservoirs (of any type) as part of the water management strategy? YES NO 10c. If NO is checked above, please proceed to item #11. If YES is checked above, the permittee is required to conduct an internal evaluation of the ability of the reservoir(s) at this facility to contain discharges. Based on the results of this evaluation, please describe the ability of the reservoir(s) at this facility to contain effluent and surface run-off from precipitation events. If there are multiple reservoirs at this facility which have different reservoir containment capabilities, please describe separately, identifying reservoirs using reservoir name. For example, “Reservoir A will contain all effluent and will only overtop during a storm event of any magnitude; Reservoir B will contain all effluent plus surface run-off from up to the 50 year/24 hour storm event, etc…”

Not applicable, reservoirs are not part of the water management strategy of this facility. The internal evaluation does NOT need to be submitted to the WYPDES Program as part of this application. By completing item 10b and signing this application, the permittee certifies that the reservoirs at this facility are capable of meeting the containment abilities which have been provided. The WYPDES Program will use the information provided above to determine the appropriate reservoir containment requirements that will be established in the permit. If reservoir containment requirements established in the permit are not met, this may constitute a violation of the permit, which is subject to full enforcement by the WYPDES Program. 11. Attach a description and a clear, legible, detailed topographic map of the discharging facility. Include the following:

a. A legend b. Well locations c. Ponds d. Reservoirs e. Stock tanks f. Discharge points (outfalls) g. Immediate receiving streams h. Water quality monitoring stations i. Irrigation monitoring points j. Location of nearest downstream irrigator k. Section, Township, and Range information l. If proposing to use class 4C off-channel pits (option 1A), include footprint outline of the proposed pits. To

denote setback distance, include a distance marker from closest side of pit to the nearest water feature, floodplain, or stream alluvium. Identify latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (using a minimum of 6 decimal places) for each end point of the setback distance marker.

m. If proposing discharge to a headwater reservoir or to a playa lake (option 1B), include footprint outline of the proposed impoundment(s). See page 1 of the application form for option 1B impoundment siting requirements. To denote setback distance from alluvial floodplain areas, include a distance marker from closest side of the impoundment to the nearest floodplain, or stream alluvium. Identify latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (using a minimum of 6 decimal places) for each end point of the setback distance marker.




Ponds, reservoirs, water quality monitoring stations, irrigation monitoring points, downstream irrigators, off-channel pits, headwater reservoirs and playa lakes are not required in the Belle Fourche River watershed. If stock tanks are present, they are incidental and merely a convenience to the landowner’s ranching operations; the actual outfall will be at the end of the overflow piping and treatment path. Please see the attached permit renewal map.

12. Describe the control measures that will be implemented to prevent significant damage to or erosion of the receiving water channel at the point of discharge. Produced water will be discharged slowly through a vertical, large diameter riser pipe and allowed to flow down the side of the corrugated pipe to dissipate energy. The discharge water will pass over rip-rap or scoria placed at a gentle slope prior to entering the receiving water or reservoir.

13. Describe the control measures that will be implemented to achieve water quality standards and effluent limits. If

proposing to utilize a treatment process, provide a description of the treatment process. The discharge riser may include a metal collar to increase aeration of the produced water. This added aeration will aid in the oxidation of dissolved metals, particularly iron. The oxidized metal will precipitate out of the flow and be deposited in the rip-rap or scoria flow paths.

14. Outfall locations must be established as part of a preliminary field reconnaissance survey using GPS or conventional survey equipment and documented in Table 1. Please document the type of equipment used, the expected accuracy of your measurements, and a brief rationale for locating the outfalls at the requested sites below.

The outfall location was determined using a handheld GPS unit with an accuracy of generally 60 feet or better. The outfall is located on an ephemeral stream channel in a location where the discharged water will benefit livestock and wildlife.

15. Complete the attached Table 1. Provide all the information requested in the table for each proposed discharge point

or monitoring point. If proposing changes (a major modification) to an existing facility, clearly indicate the desired changes on the table. Additional tables may be attached. Use the format provided. Option 2 permits, except those located in the Belle Fourche or Cheyenne River Basins, must include water quality monitoring station locations. Option 1B headwater reservoir discharges (reservoirs other than playa lakes capable of 50 year, 24 hour stormwater runoff containment) must include flow monitoring station locations. Option 1A and 1B permits must include containment unit monitoring station locations. Information related to reservoirs is only required if the facility’s water management plan includes reservoir containment.

Please see attached Tables 1A and 1B: Outfall Information. 16. Complete the attached Table 2. Provide all the information requested in the table for each well associated with this

proposed discharge authorization. If proposing changes (a major modification) to an existing facility, clearly indicate the desired changes on the table. Additional tables may be attached. Use the format provided.

Please see attached Table 2: Well Information. 17. Complete the attached Table 3. Provide all the information requested in the table for each reservoir proposed for

containment of CBM produced water. Specified locations refer to the approximate center of the reservoir. If proposing changes (a major modification) to an existing facility, clearly indicate the desired changes on the table. Additional tables may be attached. Use the format provided. Information related to reservoirs is only required if the facility’s water management plan includes reservoir containment.

Not applicable, reservoirs are not part of the water management strategy of this facility.




18. Complete the attached Table 4. Provide all information requested in the table related to reservoir bonding requirements for each reservoir proposed for the containment of CBM produced water. If proposing any changes (a major modification) to an existing facility, clearly indicate the desired changes on the table. Additional tables may be attached. Use the format provided. Information related to reservoirs is only required if the facility’s water management plan includes reservoir containment.

Not applicable, reservoirs are not part of the water management strategy of this facility. 19. Provide the results of water analyses for a sample collected from a location representative of the quality of the water

being proposed for discharge for all of the chemical parameters listed in the table below. The sample must be collected from well(s) or outfall(s) within a twenty mile radius of the proposed facility’s location, and from the same coal formation(s) and the same approximate depth(s) as proposed in this application. If filing an application for a permit renewal or modification, the representative sample must be collected from the facility being proposed for renewal or modification. Explain why this sample is representative of the produced water to be discharged. Please refer to the following sample identification table and the corresponding lab analysis for representative water quality. The initial laboratory analysis from DP_WY0041866_004 is included and is representative of CBNG production from the Wyodak and Big George coal seams from outfall 004 of this permit. The analytical result for dissolved aluminum is not included on DP_WY0041866_004 because it was not part of the required monitoring when the sample was collected and analyzed. However, total recoverable aluminum was analyzed and was detected at 53 µg/L, far below the 750 µg/L limit.
