"Natural Gas Operations: 1. Location: k. Avoid locating well pads on steep slopes. Well pads on steep slopes can create large cut and fill slopes which are more expensive to reclaim and are highly visible from long distances. If you must locate on a steep slope, a certified engineering and reclamation plan must be submitted and approved by the authorized officer." |
