Divide Road Produced Water Treatment Facility PARCEL: 1917-274-00-012 APPLICANT/OWNER: Encana Oil & Gas (USA} Inc. REPRESENTATIVES: Chris Putnam, Encana Oil & Gas {USA} Inc. and Mike

Impact Review-Material Handling, Water Impoundment, Water Tank/Treatment Facility I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & DISCUSSION Encana proposes the development of the Divide Road Water Treatment
Facility to provide water storage and treatment for produced water generated during natural gas production from wells in the North Piceance Plateau area. Water will be transported to
the site by pipeline. Water will be treated on the site and recycled and redelivered to well pads in the plateau area for use in tracing and completion activities. The facility will
help avoid the need for trucking of water. Facilities on the site will include a DAF treatment building, condensate tanks, sludge tanks, pump house, five 206,000 barrel storage tanks,
along with containment berms. The site is located off County Road 401, and access is planned via County Road 215 and private access roads to the site. In addition to standard requirements
of the ULUR the following topics need to also be addressed by the submittals.
• Evidence that produced water is non-tributary and its use is in compliance with applicable regulations (Division of Water Resources & CRS 37-90-137. • Location of wells served by the
facility. • Location of conveyance network (pipelines) serving the facility, County permitting information if applicable, and easement information if pipeline alignments extend off of
Encana Property. The site plan provided below reflects modifications to the original plan and preapplication summary. Access to the site has been modified, facilities/treatment reconfigured
and the amount of water storage expanded (two additional tanks). k-r----fw!--r ....-~-:.;.:~-~-II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN-SITE PLAN The site is designated in the Garfield County Comprehensive
Plan 2030 as Resource Production/Natural (RPN). The Comprehensive Plan description of this use includes support building and facilities needed for the natural resource extraction industry.
This description is consistent with the current proposal. The plan also notes that this designation includes areas that may have significant environmental constraints including slopes.

Requests The Applicant has identified a number of waiver requests both from submittal requirements and standards. The Application needs to clearly address the review criteria contained
in Sections 4-117 and 2-202 in justifying the requests. Where waiver's from completion of fully developed plans (i.e. landscaping plans) are the intent of the waiver request the Application
should still contain general information appropriate to demonstrate compliance with the review criteria. In some cases compliance with CDPHE Regulations (i.e. stormwater drainage plans)
may support waivers from similar requirements contained in the ULUR. Where technical issues are concerned (i.e. roadway standards) the Application needs to demonstrate that adequate
accessibility and safety are maintained. The water supply waiver needs to demonstrate the minimal staffing requirements for the site and how an appropriate level of service will be maintained.
