Uintah Wax presents proposal for 10‑well pad; commission requires chain‑link fencing
Summary
Andrea Gurr, for Uintah Wax, presented a conditional use permit concept for a site with 10 horizontal wells near a previous pad; the commission stressed a chain‑link fence will be required and noted that planned highway deceleration/acceleration work from a previous project would apply.
Andrea Gurr, representing Uintah Wax, told the Ballard Planning Commission on March 3 that the company proposes a new oil and gas site consisting of 10 horizontal wells sited near a prior well location. Gurr asked whether the commission would accept a game fence rather than a standard chain‑link fence for cost reasons.
Board Member Mark Redmond and commissioners indicated the commission was committed to requiring chain‑link fencing to protect the site and prevent unauthorized access; the minutes record the board’s position rather than an exception. Gurr noted that the deceleration and acceleration lanes planned under a previously approved Super Pad project would apply to this project as well.
The minutes do not record a final decision or vote on the conditional use permit; the item was discussed as a proposal and clarification of conditions. Further permitting and compliance with CUP conditions will be required before construction or operations proceed.
