BEFORE THE OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO IN THE MATTER OF ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OFTHE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE COLORADO OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION BY WEST HAWK ENERGY (USA) LLC, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO. CAUSE NO. 1 V, DOCKET NO. 1203-GA-02. NOTICE OF HEARING TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Rule 525.b. provides that whenever the Commission or the Director has evidence that an operator is responsible for a pattern of violation of any provision of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act (34-60-101, et seq.) (the “Act”), or of any rule, permit or order of the Commission, the Director shall issue a notice to the operator to appear for a hearing before the Commission. If the Commission finds after such hearing, that a knowing and willful pattern of violation exists, it may issue an order which shall prohibit the issuance of any new permits to the operator. On August 8, 2011, the Commission issued Order No. 1V-378 finding that West Hawk Energy (USA) LLC (“West Hawk”) (Operator #10189) had committed numerous rule violations at certain wells and imposed fines for those violations. On September 19, 2011, the Commission issued Order No. 1V-385 finding that West Hawk had committed a knowing and willful pattern of violation because West Hawk failed, for more than one year, to perform the abatement and corrective actions required by various Notices of Alleged Violation (“NOAVs”). Order 1V-385 ordered that until the fine assessed under Order No. 1V-378 was paid in full and all required abatement and corrective actions were performed by West Hawk, the Director should not approve any application for permit-to-drill, any Certificate of Clearance and/or Change of Operator, Form 10, or other permit for conducting oil and gas operations for West Hawkor any entity of which Gonzalo Torres Macchiavello is a principal, majority owner, operational or general manager, or in which Mr. Macchiavello otherwise exercises control. On December 22, 2011, Gonzalo Torres Macchiavello (“Macciavello” or “Applicant”), by his attorneys, filed with the Commission a verified application (“Application”) for an order to vacate the sanctions imposed by Order 1V-385 imposed personally against Mr. Macciavello. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado, pursuant to the above, has scheduled the above-entitled matter for hearing on: Date: Monday, March 5, 2012, Tuesday, March 6, 2012, Time: 9:00 a.m., Place: COGCC Offices, 1120 Lincoln Street, Suite 801, Denver, Colorado 80203.

Pursuant to said hearing in the above-entitled matter at the time and place aforesaid, or at any adjourned meeting, the Commission will enter such orders as it deems appropriate to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public and to prevent the waste of oil and gas, either or both, in the operations of said field, and to carry out the purposes of the statute. In accordance with Rule 509., any interested party desiring to protest the granting of the application or to intervene on the application should file with the Commission a written protest or intervention no later than February 17, 2012, briefly stating the basis of the protest or intervention. Such interested party shall, at the same time, serve a copy of the protest or intervention to the person filing the application. An original and 13 copies shall be filed with the Commission. Anyone who files a protest or intervention must be able to participate in a prehearing conference during the week of February 17, 2012.

In accordance with the practices of the Commission, should no protests or interventions be filed in this matter by February 17, 2012, the Applicant may request that an administrative hearing be scheduled beginning February 17, 2012. In the alternative, pursuant to Rule 511., if the matter is uncontested, the applicant may request, and the Director may recommend approval on the basis of the merits of the verified application and the supporting exhibits.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO: Parents and Staff of Meeker Re-1 School District. FROM: Susan Goettel, Superintendent of Schools. DATE: January 30, 2012. In compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), in the summer of 1988 we performed inspections of each of our school buildings for asbestos containing building materials. The inspection findings and asbestos management plans have been on file in each school administration office since that time. The EPA requires us to perform re-inspection of the asbestos materials every three years. During the month of February 2012, we will be performing a 6-month review. An accredited asbestos inspector will perform these inspections. An accredited management planner will review the results of the inspections and recommend actions we should take to safely manage each asbestos material in our buildings. Specific information relating to the asbestos re-inspection is contained in individual building reports. A copy is on file in each school administration office and at the district office. These reports are available to the public for review. All asbestos materials in this district have either been abated or are in good condition and we will continue to manage them in place, as recommended by the accredited management planner. The results of the re-inspections are on file in the management plan in each school’s administration office. Everyone is welcome to view these anytime during normal school hours (M-F, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). The Asbestos Program Manager, Norman F. Kinney, is available to answer any questions you may have about asbestos in our buildings at 878-9040. Published: February 9, 2012 in Rio Blanco Herald Times.
