Permit Application Map
Under this WYPDES permit application, Yates requests to discharge produced CBNG water from up to
137 wells to be completed within the Big George and Wyodak coal seams, into 23 on-channel reservoirs
through 23 outfalls. These reservoirs have been sited in coordination with the respective landowners.
Please note that the water from the associated wells may be piped to an additional network of outfalls
covered under the WY0047741 Marker/Benchmark CS State – Nut Creek Drainage, WY0047775
Marker/Benchmark CS State – Nut Creek Drainage, WY0038784 Bucko CS State, WY0051438 Bucko
POD, and Gauge POD – Beaver Creek permits.
As supported by the attached water budget, Yates will contain all CBNG effluent within associated
reservoirs under dry operating conditions. However, the reservoirs may overtop naturally if and when
triggered by a storm event. Yates requests for a permitted flow limit of 2.95 MGD, which is based upon
available reservoir capacity.
Yates understands that Mr. John Iberlin of Iberlin Ranch LP submitted a statement of beneficial use to the
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality – Water Quality Division (WDEQ – WQD) in support of
the Citation Oil & Gas Corporation WY0049204 renewal application. From this letter, Yates understands
that Mr. Iberlin does not wish to seek protection for the irrigation use associated with spreader dikes on
his property, specifically in Section 7, Township 46 North, Range 75 West, as the CBNG produced water
has benefited his ranching operations. Therefore, Yates requests that WDEQ – WQD not include
irrigation limits and monitoring requirements within its Gauge POD – Pumpkin Creek WYPDES permit.

* "Reservoir Reclamation Volume" is the volume of backfill and/or topsoil needed to fill the reservoir upon
reclamation, in cubic yards. This can also be measured in the amount of material that was excavated to
create the reservoir. Please note that reservoir information is not required if reservoir containment is not
part of the facility's water management plan - for instance, information about existing "incidental"
downstream reservoirs is not required.
** "Reservoir constructed/upgraded" information relates to the September 2005 memo regarding topsoil
storage on-site. A 'NO' response in this column represents that either the reservoir is not constructed or that
it requires upgrades which would require topsoil stockpiling on site. A 'Yes' response in this column
represents that the reservoir has been constructed prior to September 2005 and any upgrades, if required,
do not require the stockpiling of topsoil.

Discharge rate per well equals flow rate (3.7MGD) * (10 6 gallons/ million gallon) / (total wells) / (24hrs/day) / (60 minutes/hr). The discharge rate of 3.7 MGD has been
calculated based on the flow from 113 new wells producing @ 22 gpm/well and 24 existing wells producing @ 3.46 gpm/well.
2
Freeboard Capacity is calculated using a CBMA developed water management tool which utilizes well completions schedules, water production decline rates, reservoir
infiltration decline rates, and monthly evaporation rates. This value reflects the day where the water level in the reservoirs is projected to be at its highest given the projected
production rates which are generally less than the permitted flow rate.
3
Daily CBM discharge equals (total wells) * (discharge rate per well) * (60 minutes/hr) * (24 hrs/day) / (325851.43 gallons/acre-ft) *79.8%. The remaining discharge (20.2%) goes
to Gauge POD Beaver Creek. The daily CBM discharge has been divided based on the available reservoir capacites of Gauge POD - Pumpkin Creek and Gauge POD - Beaver
Creek, respectively. The requested flow rate for Gauge POD - Pumpkin Creek is 2.95 MGD.

See attached explanation document for source and formula/rationale for total daily infiltration (all infiltration rates are based upon the stored volume of CBNG water rather than
the entire capacity).
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Some evaporation rates may equal zero because the most conservative day of the year falls in the winter where evaporation is negligible.
Wells permitted to Gauge POD - Pumpkin Creek are also permitted to WY0038784, WY0047741, WY0047775, WY0051438, and Gauge POD - Beaver Creek. This calculation
shows that in a worst case scenario discharge from associated producing wells can be stored in the Gauge POD - Pumpkin Creek and Gauge POD - Beaver Creek reservoirs.

Infiltration and Evaporation Rates from Reservoirs
Potential infiltration loss rates can be estimated for CBNG containment reservoirs based on a series of
hydrologic studies conducted by the USGS for small stock ponds in the Powder River region of Wyoming.
Pertinent findings of available literature for this region of Wyoming are as follows.
USGS Water Supply Paper 1531. Hydrology of the Upper Cheyenne River Basin: Part A. Hydrology of
Stock-Water Reservoirs in Upper Cheyenne River Basin, by R.C. Culler, 1961. Fifty-four reservoirs with
an average surface area of 2.12 acres were monitored for four years, 1951 - 1954. Reported evaporation
and seepage loss rates are shown in Table 1.

The stock-water reservoirs in the Culler study were typically much older bodies of water than CBM-related
reservoirs. A newly constructed CBM-related reservoir should have a much higher seepage rate than the
seepage rates of reservoirs addressed in the Culler study, especially if the reservoir bottom was
excavated relatively deeply according to standard practice.
The following references provide additional guidance:
USGS Water Resources Series No. 47, Characteristics of Wyoming Stock-Water Ponds and Dike
Spreader Systems, by Verne E. Smith, July 1974. The authors discuss the hydrology of stockwater ponds, evapotranspiration, and seepage. While this study was conducted for stock ponds,
the governing concepts are pertinent to CBM water management requirements in small
reservoirs.
USGS Water Resources Investigations 82_4105, Evapotranspiration Rates at Selected Sites in
the Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana, by L.W. Lenfest, 1987. This report provides the
results of studies at twelve sites where the authors evaluated the effects of alluvial valley width on
measured evapotranspiration.
Overall, the above references combined with recent field observations conducted by Hugh Lowham
(USGS-retired) provide a reasonably consistent estimate of combined evaporation and seepage losses in
newly constructed small reservoirs. Hugh Lowham, P.E., has summarized available data and field
observations to yield the following estimates for total loss rates of newly constructed small reservoirs in
the Powder River area:
Very small reservoir (2 acre-feet storage volume):
40 gpm
Small reservoir (10 acre-feet storage volume):
80 gpm
Medium, reservoir (20 acre-feet storage volume):
200 gpm
Large Reservoir (200 acre-feet storage volume):
400 gpm

Note that these rates represent initial combined evapotranspiration and infiltration losses. Generally,
initial infiltration rates decrease with time as a result of: 1) Gradual deterioration of the soil structure. 2)
Partial sealing of the wetted soil profile by the formation of surface crust. 3) Detachment and migration of
pore-blocking particles. 4) And swelling of clay particles (Hillel, 2004). Steady-state infiltration rates (Is)
can be estimated by dividing initial loss rate estimates, as shown above, by a factor of 3.
Potential evapotranspiration rates for the Powder River Basin have been estimated from evaporation pan
studies. Data for evaporation rates in Wyoming are available online from the Western Regional Climate
Center (http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/htmlfiles/westevap.final.html#WYOMING). Mean evaporation rates were
obtained from studies conducted during an 81-year period (1925-2005) of four-foot Class A evaporation
pans at the Gillette 9 ESE Station. Actual lake evaporation rates can be calculated by multiplying
observed pan loss rates by a pan coefficient factor of 0.70 (Viessman and Lewis, 2003). Mean and
adjusted evaporation values are shown in the Table 2:

Subtracting average evaporation rates from the Lowham initial total loss rates and dividing by the steady
state factor of 3 gives the resulting steady-state infiltration rates, shown below.
Very small reservoir (2 acre-feet storage volume, 0.67 acres of surface area):
Small reservoir (10 acre-feet storage volume, 1.36 acres of surface area):
Medium, reservoir (20 acre-feet storage volume, 2.49 acres of surface area):
Large Reservoir (200 acre-feet storage volume, 20.45 acres of surface area):
12.92 gpm
25.84 gpm
65.15 gpm
120.84 gpm
Curve fitting these data points on a graph yields the following power equation (see graph):
y = 14.74x0.40
Where y is the steady-state infiltration rate in gallons per minute, and x is the reservoir capacity in acre-ft.

Reservoir Capacity (acre-ft)
While this equation provides a good approximation of predicted reservoir infiltration, it should be noted
that all of the studies cited in this paper exhibit highly variable infiltration rates that are due, at least in
part, to site-specific variations in geology and soils. Although this variability may not be fully predictable,
the inclusion of additional site-specific data should better constrain actual seepage and
evapotranspiration losses at a particular location once a new reservoir is constructed and operated.
