Screening CriteriaClarification to Part 9

1

1. Purpose: Document the Airport’s interpretations of Section 15 Screening of Part Nine - Oil and Gas Exploration and Production.

2. Site definitions: The Airport classifies drilling or operation sites as follows:• Greenfield Site, low visibility - Site is located in a remote, non-developed area and is not

readily visible from streets, highways, rail or nearby buildings.• Greenfield Site, high visibility - Site is located in a remote, non-developed area, but is

visible to the public from streets, highway, rail or nearby buildings.• Developed Site, low visibility - Site is located within an area of current development or

adjacent to streets, highways or rail, but is not in the direct view of such facilities.• Developed Site, high visibility - Site is located within an area of current development or

adjacent to a street, highway or rail, and is in the direct view of such facilities and the public.• High Profile Site, retail/resort/entertainment - Site is located near or within a planned

development or in the direct line of sight of such a building as determined by airport planning staff.

• DFWAirportreservestherighttocreateadditionalsitedefinitionsormodifytheabovedefinitions as conditions warrant over the duration of the natural gas exploration lease.

3. Operator:asdefinedbyDFWAirport’sConstructionandFirePreventionStandardsResolution&AmendmentstotheCodes,Part9,Section2.

4. Initial Installation: Operator is responsible for the initial installation of all elements of these standards during Operation Site development. If these standards are adopted after Operation Sites have been developed, Operator is responsible for upgrading Operation Site to conform with these standards.

5. Alternatives: In many instances alternates to these criteria are available due to issues such as availabilityorcost.OperatorsmaythereforesubmitalternatestothesecriteriatoDFWPlanningfor review and consideration. All submittals shall include a written justification as well as a sample material (if available), specification, and image.

6. Cost:Operatorisresponsibleforallcostsincluding,butnotlimitedto:initialinstallation,upgrading, maintenance, replacement, and restoration.

7.Maintenance&Replacement:OperatorisresponsibleformaintainingallOperationSitestoensure compliance as set forth with the development criteria as stated herein. In the event elements of these criteria cannot be restored, maintenance may include replacing elements forsuchproblemsas,butnotlimitedto,damage,destruction,ordeathasdeterminedbyDFWAirport. Plant materials must be maintained for the life of the lease and replacement is required within six months of damage, destruction, or death. All other elements must be repaired or replaced within 45 days of damage or destruction.

8. Upgrading a Site from Drilling to Production: The status of a site shall be changed from drilling to production when the earliest of the following occurs: 1) the last planned well is placed into production, or 2) drilling activities on the site have been dormant for 12 months, or 3) an operation site is in use for its intended purpose. The Operator must complete construction and installation of screening elements within 45 days and complete installation of all plant materials within six months.

9.Restoration:TheOperatorisresponsibleforrestoringtheelementsofthiscriteriawithin30daysofdamage or modifications required during re-drilling or re-working.
