- perform the drilling, completion, and workovers of the wells as if they were classified as critical wells for the duration of the ERPs;
- minimize duration of flaring whenever possible;
- suspend operations if safe to do so during sour operations if any egress roads inside the EPZs become impassable;
- drill pilot holes on the 4-27 well site to confirm where the gravel seam(s) are located, and then drill and set conductor pipe and cement to surface below the gravel seam to ensure integrity prior to continuing with the rest of the surface hole operation;
- relocate residents who reside within the EPZ during drilling and completion operations, should those residents advise that they wish to be relocated;
- incorporate sensitive or interested individuals who reside outside of the EPZs into Highpine’s site-specific or production ERPs;
- notify residents in the ERPs prior to entering the Nisku zone at least 24 hours in advance;
- ignite within 15 minutes of an uncontrolled release;
- continue to work with Parkland School Division to address safety questions for not only these applications, but for all of the development proposed in the area;
- hold a public meeting to review the ERPs and answer any additional questions that the public may have;
- hold an ERP exercise on the area production ERP; and
- use existing infrastructure wherever possible to minimize the proliferation of facilities.
