RED DESERT - PRODUCED WATER RECEIVING AND DISPOSAL FACILITY
Sweetwater County, Wyoming
 
Client challenge:
Legal disposal of water produced as a byproduct of Wyoming oilfield operations is a major challenge for the oil and gas industry. The project site was a remote location in south-central Wyoming, and the developer wanted to provide this service at a profit. The project is owned and developed by Cate Street Capital, Inc.

Coffey solution:  
Coffey Engineering & Surveying completed the first phase of site design and the regulatory permitting required which included:
  • completion of a topographic survey and a base topographic map for the 100-acre site
  • creation of alternative options for impoundment designs and earthwork quantities
  • production of a site design including lined impoundments with leak detection systems
  • preparation and submittal of a Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality/Water Quality Division (WDEQ/WQD) permit-to-construct application and engineering report including construction drawings for the proposed facility, information regarding existing site conditions, site reclamation plan, operating plan, and information conforming to the requirements in three chapters of WDEQ/WQD rules and regulations
  • coordination with WDEQ/WQD regulatory personnel throughout the project, avoiding delays and unanticipated costs associated with failure to conform to WDEQ/WQD requirements
