Purpose of Interim Policy and Interim Policy Period
The Interim Policy was requested by the Commission to gather data on the number of permits filed in areas identified as sensitive or that will be subject to consultation under the revised rules. The policy will require operators to identify these areas on all Application for Permit to Drill (APD) filed in the interim period between January 5 and May 1, 2009 on federal lands and between January 5 and April 1, 2009 for all other lands. It will also provide an opportunity for CDPHE and CDOW to provide input on APDs filed in those areas and for operators to respond to such input.
Purpose of Interim Policy and Interim Policy Period
• Allow state agencies to refine their business processes so that when the amended rules become effective agencies can meet the new timeframes and requirements.
• Allow the COGCC to gather information on APDs in environmentally sensitive areas and create mechanisms for obtaining CDPHE & CDOW input on APDs in those areas before the new rules become effective.
• Allow operators to see the types of conditions of approval that the agencies envision might be required to mitigate impacts to water and wildlife resources from proposed operations.
Areas to be Identified in the Interim Policy Period
Drinking water protection areas; Restricted surface occupancy areas; Sensitive wildlife habitat areas; and Riparian areas,
areas within 300 feet of streams and lakes west of Interstate 25

Interim Process‐COGCC
COGCC reviews and forwards APD form and Plat if in an area identified on the Interim Policy form to the applicable agency (CDOW and/or CDPHE) for review
CDOW and/or CDPHE will review APDs and recommend conditions of approval in a timely manner
COGCC will review COA recommendations and will forward the operator the recommended COAs for a response
COGCC determines whether to include COAs and issues APD
