It climbs to Davis Point, runs north-north-west for approximately 4 miles, then follows an unnamed ridge north 3 miles to the Rio Blanco County line. (See map, Attachment 1.) Requirements: 1. The special use of the lands in question is construction, operation and maintenance of a 16-inch natural gas pipeline connecting BARRETT'S proposed gas processing facility in Parachute Valley to CIG's Greasewood Compressor Station in Piceance Basin. The processing facility is included in this application. The route is within with a utility corridor identified in the BLM's Piceance Basin Resource Management Plan. The pipeline will deliver 70 to 90 million cubic-feet of gas per day to CIG's transmission line. The pipeline will tie into BARRETT's 150-mile gas gathering system which currently serves 200 wells in the Parachute Valley area, providing increased access to interstate markets. The system has 3,500 H.P. compression. Producing wells have a life expectancy of 30 to 40 years. Current production matches or exceeds the capacity of area pipeline companies, creating a marketing bottleneck and limiting further well development. The most active use of these lands would take place during the three-month construction period, when approximately 50 construction personnel would be hired. Thereafter, only periodic maintenance--an extremely low-visibility, low-impact activity requiring few additional personnel-- will be necessary. Construction will is scheduled to begin on June 1, 1994, or as soon thereafter as possible. The pipeline will be complete and operative in September 1994. It is estimated that the pipeline will function for 50 years. Similar volumes of gas will be maintained for the next 10 years. Section I. of the attached Preliminary Plan of Development (POD, Attachment 2) for the pipeline provides a more detailed description of the requested special use. 2. No notable water use is anticipated. Most of the pipeline will be gas tested rather than hydrostatically tested after construction. Hydrostatic testing may be employed where the line crosses under County Road 5 in Rio Blanco County. The small amount of water required will be diverted temporarily from, and returned to, Piceance Creek. An overview of the hydrostatic testing process and the procedures and safeguards which will be employed is provided in section II.H. of the attached POD. Small quantities of water may also be applied to access roads or ROW under construction to minimize dust, as per the attached POD, sections II.A.10 and II.C.8. With the exception of water use for hydrostatic testing and dust abatement as noted above, the only potential wastewater issue is trench water and its potential to impact water quality in live streams. Trench water will be managed to prevent such impacts by the construction practices outlined in sections II.D. and G. of the attached POD. 2 Other than trench water, the only liquid waste produced will be the effluent in chemical toilets set up during construction. A local contractor will provide these facilities and dispose of effluent properly. Power requirements during construction will be met by temporary, on-site generating facilities. Power for compression once the pipeline is in operation will be provided by on-line, gas-fired compression units. Existing roads provide access to most of the proposed ROW. Where such access is not possible, construction and maintenance access will be on the ROW. No new road construction is planned. Existing roads will be graded and maintained as needed. From BARREIT's proposed gas processing plant to Davis Point, access will be from County Road 215, Parachute Valley. From there north, access will be from the Barnes Ridge Road. More details regarding the use and maintenance of access roads is provided in section II.A.1-10 in the attached POD, section II.A. 3. The attached map indicates the pipeline's alignment, the site of the gas processing facility, and the location of associated temporary staging and lay-down areas. Use of land through which the ROW easements pass is actual or potential energy development under patented claims. 4. Potential environmental impacts and mitigative considerations are outlined in the attached POD. Most considerations identified in the Garfield County Zoning Resolution (sections 5.03.07 and 5.03.08) are addressed in the POD. Specifically: 5.03.07(l)(A) -No consumptive use or depletion of water is anticipated. The major potential impacts to water quality are associated with construction, and construction practices outlined in the POD should make this potential insignificant. Most pertinent are stipulations regarding construction at streams and wetlands (ILG.), hydrostatic testing (II.H.), erosion control (III.D.) and revegetation (111.E.). 5.03.07(l)(B) -Dust related to construction is the major potential impact on adjacent land, and it will be controlled by watering access roads (II.A. JO.) as well as the ROW and other disturbed areas (II.C.8.). BARREIT has applied to the Colorado Department of Health for an Air Pollution Emission Permit and will comply with all air quality stipulations required, minimizing the possibility of impacts on adjacent land. The project area is sparsely populated to unpopulated, which makes this area of concern a minor consideration. 5.03.07(l)(C) -Potential wildlife impacts would be construction related and temporary. Impacts and mitigation are outlined in the POD (III.G.3.). No important impacts will result. 5.03.07(l)(D) -Traffic impacts would be construction related and temporary. Access road use and management is spelled out in section II.A., and traffic considerations are noted in section III.G.l.f. 5.03.07(l)(E) -Again, potential impacts would be construction related and temporary, and abutting property is, with few exceptions, uninhabited. The processing facility will be constructed and operated in accordance with all applicable safety standards, as will the pipeline (III.G. l.). 3 5.03.0?(l)(F) -The POD sections noted above include pertinent mitigative measures. Mitigation associated with the stipulations of section 5.03.08 are outlined below. 5.03.07(2)(A) -Rehabilitation procedures are detailed in POD section III.A.-F. 5.03.07(2)(B) -BARRETI will post a security for site rehabilitation if so required by the County Commission. 5.03.07(2)(C) ·The POD sections noted above include pertinent mitigative measures. Mitigation associated with the stipulations of section 5.03.08 are outlined below. 5.03.08(1) -No state noise standards apply to industrial developments in this rural area. Still, a 55dB property-line noise level will not be exceeded by the gas processing facility. Noise associated with construction will occur in rural areas and will be temporary. 5.03.08(2) -Once construction is complete, vibration detectable without instruments will not occur. 5.03.08(3) -As noted, a state Air Pollution Emission Pennit is being acquired for the processing facility. It will encompass all applicable standards. Construction-related emissions will be within nonnal ranges and will be temporary. 5.03.08(4) -Emissions of heat, glare, radiation and fumes during construction will be minor, localized and temporary. Such emissions from the processing facility will be governed by industry standards and will not impact existing uses of adjacent property (agriculture and energy development). 5.03.08(5)(A) -POD section III.G.l.d. deals with storage of hazardous materials. Such materials used during construction will be stored in compliance with the National Fire Code, and then only infrequently on-site. The processing facility will involve a number of flammable and/or explosive materials, but safe storage and handling, in accordance with industry standards, is a central aspect of its design and licensing procedures. 5.03.08(5)(B) • Fenced storage areas will be constructed at the request of the County Commissioners. Concealment is not a major consideration given the remote location of the project. 5.03.08(5)(C) -Materials storage and waste disposal will be carried out in a manner which precludes dispersal by natural forces (III.A. and G.). 5.03.08(5)(D) • All flammable materials will be stored in compliance with applicable State Board of Health regulations. 5.03.08(6) · Several potential sources of water pollution exist. Most important is pipeline construction. Construction practices will mitigate this potential at stream and wetland crossings (ILG.), during hydrostatic testing (ll.H.), due to postconstruction erosion (III.D. and E.), and during storage of hazardous materials, fuels, lubricants, etc. (III.G.1.). 4 Additional environmental information included in the POD includes: cultural and paleontological resource considerations (IIT.G.2.); threatened, endangered and sensitive species (III.G.3.), noxious weeds (IIl.G.4.), visual impacts (IIl.G.5.) and livestock use (III.G.6.). An Environmental Assessment (EA) is being completed by the BLM, White River Resource Area, the lead federal agency for this project. In light of the practices outlined in the POD and any additional stipulations imposed by the BLM on the basis of the EA, no important negative environmental impacts are anticipated. This information and the attached POD is submitted to meet the application requirements for an impact statement. 5. The attached map was prepared in consultation with the assessor's office. It indicates surface land ownership. Of the approximately 10.3 miles of ROW in Garfield County, about 10.2 miles are held by Unocal, 0.1 miles by Chevron. 6. A check in the amount of $400 is attached to cover the application fee. 7. Easements are being secured from ROW landowners. When they are finalized, BARRETT will provide copies of the agreements for the county file. If public notice is required, notice provided by the Planning Department shall be sent out at least five (5) days prior to hearing by return-receipt mail to all the above-noted adjoining property owners. Mailing is the applicant's responsibility, and proof of mailing must be presented at the hearing. Additionally, the same notice shall be published one (!) time in the official County newspaper at least fifteen (15) days prior to such hearing date. Applicant shall bear the cost of publication and be responsible for presenting the "Proof of Publication" at the hearing. The above information is correct to the best of my knowledge. Applicant Date 5 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION PARACHUTE VALLEY-GREASEWOOD COMPRESSOR STATION PIPELINE: PRELIMINARY PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT PREPARED FOR THE U.S. BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT WHITE RIVER RESOURCE AREA PROJECT MANAGER: VAUGHN HACKETT I. Project Description A. Overview A 16-inch natural gas pipeline is proposed from CIG's Greasewood Compressor Station in Sec. 8, T2S, R96W, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, south to BARRETT's meter station in Sec. 36, T5S, R96W, Garfield County, Colorado, as per attached map and land schedule form. This pipeline is needed to deliver produced natural gas from BARRETT wells to markets, as the existing pipeline companies do not have capacity to transport the gas to interconnecting pipelines. Construction of the pipeline will begin as soon as necessary permitting is obtained. B. Purpose and Need Existing pipelines are owned by Northwest Pipeline Corporation, with 16-17 million cubic feet of gas per day capacity, and by Questar, with a capacity of 16-20 million cubic feet of gas per day, with numerous days down to 5 million cubic feet of gas per day due to the line's minimum operating pressure of 780 pounds. Any gas developed and hooked into Williams pipeline has the same pressure restrictions due to their connection to Questar. BARRETT has 200,000 acres under lease in the Parachute, Rifle, and Debeque areas. BARRETT has 120 Mesa Verde and 80 Wasatch wells presently producing with the capability to produce 53 million cubic feet of gas per day as of January 1, 1994. BARRETT has future plans to continue with the present two rotary rigs drilling for the next ten years with a third rig as needed to develop these properties to the maximum. This plan should allow for gas deliveries to be increased to approximately 90 million cubic feet of gas per day. Due to the limitations now experienced on the existing systems plus the monetary demands for firm transportation and time restraints required by existing pipelines for upgrading their systems, it is imperative that BARRETT install and own a gathering line to allow uninterrupted gas sales. C. Right of Way (ROW) The pipeline will parallel the existing Northwest Pipeline Corporation line from Sec. 36, T5N, R96W, Garfield County, Colorado, to Sec. 8, T2N, 96W, Rio Blanco County, Colorado. This coincides with a utility corridor identified in the BLM's 1985 Piceance Basin Resource Management Plan. Approximately 9.87 miles of the right of way is on land administered by the BLM, the remaining 15.44 miles on private land. (See attached 1 land ownership schedule.) The permanent ROW is 30 feet wide, and the temporary-use ROW is an additional 40 feet wide. Minor deviations within the approved conidor may be required to avoid or minimize environmental impacts. D. Planned Construction The pipeline will be steel with an inside diameter of 15.750 inches. Pipe-to-pipe distance from the Northwest pipeline will be 25 feet. The line will be covered to a depth of at least three feet except at locations approved for above-ground installations. Associated facilities will include a processing facility, meter station, pig catcher, volume tank and above-ground storage tank. Construction access will be via existing roads. E. Construction Schedule Construction will begin as soon as permitting is complete, hopefully in June 1994. It is anticipated that two crews will work simultaneously at different locations. Temporal avoidance of critical habitat areas may delay construction in some areas, as noted below. It is anticipated that the pipeline will be in service by early September 1994. II. Construction A. Access Roads 1. BARRETT is proposing no new access-road construction. 2. Some existing roads may require repairs before use. Any road repair that cuts new ground will be subject to prior approval. 3. BARRETT will coordinate use of public roads with appropriate agencies and permittees, and use of private roads with appropriate landowners. 4. The access road system is identified on the attached ROW maps. 5. Any temporary access roads required will be permitted under a temporary use permit. 6. Where the pipeline intersects public roads, BARRETT will discourage vehicular traffic on the ROW. 7. Public access will be maintained, and livestock control will be employed, during construction to limit impacts to current land use. 8. Fences encountered along the ROW will be adequately braced before cutting. Locking gates or appropriate fencing will be installed when construction has been completed. Fences, gates and cattle guards will be restored to pre-construction condition or replaced. 2 9. No construction or maintenance activities will be performed when the soil is too wet to adequately support equipment. If equipment creates ruts in excess of six inches deep, operation of such equipment will cease. No blading of mud will occur on access roads. 10. Access roads will be watered as necessary to achieve acceptable dust abatement. B. Storage, Staging and Lay-down Areas 1. Approximately 15 areas will be required for: temporary storage of equipment, pipe and other materials; staging of construction operations; and lay-down of equipment adjacent to cut-and-fill areas (cliffs, steep slopes and washes), stream and highway crossings, and spanned washes. These are marked on the attached maps, though final determination of their number, location and dimensions have not yet been made. Such special-use areas on SLM-administered land and will be included in the temporary-use permit. Staging and lay-down areas will average about 600 feet long and 150 feet wide and will be aligned with the construction ROW. 2. None of these storage/staging/lay-down areas will be located in environmentally sensitive sites. Little or no site disturbance will occur. Where the surface is disturbed, it will be reclaimed to the same standards as the ROW. C. Pioneering and Blading 1. BARRETT will protect all recognizable public and private survey monuments found within the ROW. Disturbance or obliteration of any such monument will be reported to the respective installing authority if known. 2. BARRETT will mark the exterior boundaries of the ROW with stakes and/or lathe at 200-foot intervals. The lathes will be flagged in a distinctive color. Survey station numbers will be marked on the boundary stakes/lathes at the entrance to and the exit from public land. Boundary stakes/lathes will remain in place until cleanup is complete and approved. 3. BARRETT will stake slopes and grades, staging and lay-down areas, culvert locations, and other construction-control areas to ensure construction in accordance with the POD. If stakes are disturbed, they will be replaced before proceeding with construction. 4. The ROW will be cleared of above-ground vegetation and obstructions to allow safe and efficient equipment operations. Trees and brush will be cut and pushed to the edge of the ROW. A brush shredder may be used. Stumps and roots will be removed only when necessary to complete the trench. 5. Topsoil will be stripped to the following depths in these areas: a. 10 to 12 inches in Sec. 22, Sec. 27 and Sec. 34, T4S, R96W; 3 b. Six to 10 inches along ridges in Sec. 15, T4S, R96W, and four to six inches where vegetation is present; c. Six to 10 inches along Barnes Ridge and Sec. 5, T3S, R96W; and d. Ten to 12 inches from Sec. 32, TIS, R96W to the compressor station, except for the steep slope in Sec. 16, TIS, R96W where four to six inches will be stripped where vegetation is present. 6. Blading will occur only over the trench and on the spoil side of the trench unless necessary for safe operations on the working side of the trench. All topsoil will be bladed and stored separately at the outside of the spoil side of the trench. 7. On cut-and-fill slopes, topsoil will be stripped from the entire width of the cut- and-fill area and stockpiled at the top of the slope. 8. Watering or other dust-abatement practices will be employed during this and all other phases of construction in the interest of maintaining air quality. D. Trenching 1. The width and depth of the trench for the 16-inch pipeline will vary according to the soil type and the minimum coverage requirement. Typical trench depths will vary from 60 to 72 inches. Widths will vary from 48 to 60 inches. 2. Self-propelled trenching equipment and track hoes will be used for most excavation. In rocky soils, tractor-mounted rippers may be employed. Trenching in rock may require blasting. 3. Subsoil removed from the trench will be stockpiled in a bank on the spoil side of the trench, between the trench and the topsoil bank created during blading. The two banks will not be mixed. Banks will be broken at regular intervals to prevent backup of stonnwater. 4. Penni ts required for blasting in accordance with local, state and federal ordinances will be secured before any such work occurs. Any blasting will adhere to all manufacturer's safety prescriptions and industry practices. 5. In trenches through rock, the pipeline will be padded with sand or subsoil, not with topsoil. If padding material from off the ROW is required, the necessary pennits will be obtained and stipulated procedures followed. 6. Crossing County Roads 5 and 3, adjacent to Piceance Creek and in Collins Gulch, respectively, may be accomplished by boring under the roadway or trenching across it. Required county and state pennits will be acquired before such wmk begins. 4 E. Pipe Stringing and Installation 1. The required pipe, fittings and valves will be spread along the ROW either before or after trenching. 2. A petroleum-based product will be used to coat the pipe to reduce corrosion, then the pipe will be taped to protect it from abrasion, shock and corrosion. Standard cathodic and anodic corrosion-protection facilities will be installed following installation. 3. At stream crossings, the coatings described above will be replaced with a one- part, heat-curable epoxy to protect the pipe under wetter conditions. 4. Following welding of the pipeline, a third-party contractor will conduct standard radiographic examination of the welds. Defects will be replaced or repaired as per American Petroleum Institute Standard 1104. F. Backfilling 1. Trench breakers will be installed to prevent the flow of liquids along the trench. 2. Back-filling will proceed by first pulling the subsoil bank back into the trench, then respreading the topsoil bank over the bladed area. Back-filling will done to prevent settling which would result in a depression over the trench. 3. In areas where the pipeline crosses or is tangent to roadways, it will be covered to a depth of at least three feet in rocky areas, four feet in alluvial areas. G. Construction at Streams and Wetlands 1. Single crossings of two live streams, Parachute and Piceance Creeks, will be required. Two irrigation ditches adjacent to Piceance Creek will be crossed. It is anticipated that some wetlands are associated with these water bodies, and that additional small seeps and springs may be encountered along the ROW. 2. Stream and wetland crossings will be conducted in accordance with relevant local, state and federal regulations. A U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers Nationwide General Pennit No. 12 is anticipated. Practices to reduce impacts to water quality, channel stability, and wetland and aquatic resources and habitats will include but not be limited to: a. Completing stream crossings as quickly as possible, at times detennined to be consistent with protection of threatened and endangered species. b. Reducing the size of staging/lay-down areas for stream crossings to the minimum possible and keeping them at least 50 feet from stream banks. c. Keeping staging/lay-down areas out of wetlands to the degree possible. 5 d. Completing stream-crossing approach preparation from the upland side, using a backhoe. e. Testing welded-up pipe radiographically before laying it in stream- channel trenches. f. Using safe and effective corrosion-reducing pipeline coatings at stream crossings (see II.E.3 above). g. Stockpiling stream spoil to prevent runoff into stream (in an adjacent upland area excavated to form a temporary containment basin or surrounded by staked straw bales and silt fencing). h. Covering the pipeline a minimum of four feet deep in stream channels. i. Restoring stream channels to original contours. j. Removing excess dredged material to a non-wetland site. k. Installing trench breakers in sloping approaches to stream crossings. I. Not storing toxic materials, coating pipe, or fueling equipment within 100 feet of streams. m. Notifying appropriate authorities of crossing date at least one week in advance. n. Crossing streams perpendicularly to the degree feasible from an engineering and construction perspective. o. Limiting in-stream equipment to that necessary to complete construction. p. Maintaining flow rates at all times. q. Use of trench plugs to prevent diversion of streamflow into trench. r. Revegetating riparian areas immediately after crossing. s. Fluming irrigation ditches and minor streams and using "dry ditch" techniques to install pipe. This may apply to either Parachute or Piceance Creek during low water. t. Avoiding springs and seeps as practicable in the interests of wildlife and livestock. Where avoidance is not practicable, the ROW will pass below them, and the lower edges may be diked to hold water in. u. Segregating wetland topsoil/subsoil and upland topsoil/subsoil. 6 v. Restricting blading on wetlands to the width of the trench. w. Operating equipment on mats if tracks sink more than six inches into wetland soils. H. Hydrostatic Testing I. After back-filling, hydrostatic or gas testing of the pipeline will take place in accordance with U.S. Dept. of Transportation regulations (CFR Part 192). A third-party contractor will accomplish this task. 2. The source of any water used and the point of discharge will be identified pending approval. 3. Any necessary water withdrawal and discharge permits will be secured prior to commencing testing. 4. All appropriate agencies will be notified at least 48 hours before testing occurs. 5. Adequate flow rates in the source stream will be maintained to protect aquatic life and provide for existing down-stream uses. 6. The water intake will be screened to prevent entrapment of fish. 7. Discharge will be regulated to prevent erosion, stream-bottom scouring, suspension of sediments or excessive stream flow. 8. Prior to any discharge, hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if necessary, to assure that it meets local, state and federal water-quality standards. ill. Rehabilitation A. Cleanup I. All foreign debris will be removed from the ROW and disposed of at a sanitary landfill. 2. Trees and brush will be scattered on the ROW after recontouring, ripping and reseeding are complete. 3. Drainages will be cleared of debris and restored to original grade. B. Recontouring I. The ROW will be restored to as close to its original contour as possible. 2. Where original contours would pose a threat of mass failure (on steep cut-and-fill slopes) grades may be reduced from the original to reduce such hazard. 7 C. Ripping I. Compacted soils on the working side of the ROW will be ripped to a minimum depth of eight inches prior to seeding. 2. Wetland areas will not be ripped. D. Erosion Control I. Water bars and terraces will be used to control erosion. 2. Some latitude will be involved in the spacing of these erosion-control structures, according to erodability of soils and topography. Waterbars will generally be placed on slopes greater than five percent, at intervals not greater than 85 feet. 3. Waterbars will be constructed with a channel grade not exceeding two percent, beginning in vegetation on the uphill side and feathering into vegetation on the downhill side. 4. Construction of terraces may be stipulated on steeper slopes. 5. Following construction, access roads will be stabilized. 6. Erosion-control structures will be inspected and approved. E. Revegetation I. BARRETI will seed all disturbed areas, including the ROW and storage, staging and lay-down areas, with approved seed mixtures. 2. Ninety percent pure live seed will be used. 3. Seeding will take place during September or October, prior to spreading on slash on ROW. 4. The BLM will be notified not less than two weeks before the seeding effort begins so that arrangements can be made for inspection of the operation. 5. Seed will be drilled where possible at established rates. Where drilling is impossible, seed will be broadcast at twice the drilled rate and covered by dragging or raking. 6. Seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is obtained. Preliminary evaluation of the stand will be made before the end of the first complete growing season following seeding. Final evaluation will not occur before the end of the second full growing season. 8 7. Stream crossings will be revegetated with a combination of seed and live plantings to approximate original vegetation. F. Marking ROW 1. Markers showing the location of the pipeline, identifying the owner, and conveying emergency information in compliance with applicable regulations will be posted at all fence, utility and transportation crossings. G. Special Considerations 1. Safety a. The facility design, installation, operation and maintenance of the pipeline are all directed at providing the optimum public protection and avoiding undue hazard exposure. At a minimum, all activities and facilities will comply with Federal Pipeline Safety Standards (49 CFR Part 192). b. Once a pipeline is in service, there is potential for pipeline breaks resulting from slope instability, seismic activity or third-party encroachment. To counteract the first two problems, potential slope instability areas will be trenched with caution to avoid landslides or slope failure. To counteract the third problem, the pipeline will be clearly marked along its entire course. c. The most significant hazard commonly associated with gas pipelines and adjunct facilities is the potential for leakage and fire. Titis hazard is substantially mitigated by the fact that released natural gas quickly dissipates into the air and is insoluble in water. Natural gas will not collect in low-lying areas or form an explosive vapor cloud. If ignition of escaping natural gas were to occur, the fire would be limited to the immediate area of the failure point. d. BARRETT will locate, handle and store hazardous materials, fuels, lubricants, nontoxic liquids and trash in a manner to keep them from contaminating soils and water. e. BARRETT will comply with the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as amended (15 USC 2601 et seq.). Any release of toxic substances in excess of the reportable quantity established by 40 CFR Part 117 will be reported as required by the Comprehensive Safety and Liability Act, Section 102b. f. Access and vehicular traffic will be regulated to assure public safety during construction. g. A local contractor will provide and maintain chemical toilets for the use of construction personnel. 9 2. Cultural and Paleontological Resources a. Discovery of any historic or prehistoric cultural or paleontological artifacts or sites will be reported immediately. Construction at such sites will cease until pennission to proceed is issued. b. BARRETT will be responsible for the costs of evaluating and mitigating impacts to any cultural or paleontological site. 3. Tirreatened, Endangered and Sensitive Species a. Preliminary investigation indicates that construction could impact deer and elk severe-winter range, sage grouse strutting and nesting grounds, golden eagle nest sites, and potential habitat of two federaily listed plant species, Physaria obcordata and Lesquerel/a congesta. b. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for critical deer and elk winter range between December 1 and March 31. c. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for sage grouse leks (currently thought to be Sl/2 Sl/2, S3, T4S, R96W) between March 1 and May 15. d. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for sage grouse nesting sites (currently thought to be S34, T3S, R96W and S3, T4S, R96W) between March 1 and May 15. e. The historical golden eagle nest sites (Sec. 9, and SEl/4 SEl/4, Sec. 5, T3S, R96W) will be monitored for activity. Construction will not take place within one mile line-of-sight, or .5 mile if out of sight, of any active nest until the young have been fledged and left the nest, probably before July 31. f. If individuals or populations or Physaria obcordata or Lesquere/la congesta, or any other federaily listed plant species, are encountered in the ROW or other areas to be disturbed, appropriate action will be taken to protect them. 4. Noxious Weeds a. BARRETT will comply with applicable county, state and federal regulations and procedures to assure that no noxious weeds are introduced to the area as a result of any aspect of pipeline construction or operation. Consultation with appropriate authorities will indicate these regulations and procedures. b. BARRETT will be responsible for weed control on the ROW and other disturbed areas, and for any infestations occurring as a result of 10 construction or operation. A preconstruction weed inventory will be conducted by BARRETT to document initial weed populations. c. All construction equipment used in Garfield County will be high pressure washed and brought to the ROW via the Piceance Creek road (County Road 5) before commencing work in Rio Blanco County. d. Consultation with local authorities will determine species of concern and weed-control practices. 5. Visual Impacts a. Any above-ground facilities associated with this project or any spanned washes where the pipeline is exposed will be painted juniper green or another approved color. b. The rehabilitation procedures outlined above will reduce visual impact of the ROW to acceptable levels. 6. Livestock Use IV. Maintenance a. Functional use of all livestock facilities and grazing areas will be maintained throughout the construction and operation phases. b. Cattleguards will be installed by BARRETT where roads used for extended periods during construction or for postconstruction maintenance cross fence lines. A. Recurring maintenance activities include periodic patrols of the ROW to identify any pipeline or ROW anomalies. Such patrols may be on the surface or from the air, and will occur at least once a month. B. After construction BARRETT will not use the ROW as a road except for inspection and maintenance purposes. C. Any anomalies encountered (subsidence, encroachment, significant erosion or leakage) will be reported immediately and in writing. This will initiate follow-up, including assessment of the anomaly, and repair or other disposition. D. The revegetation and weed-control practices noted above will be part of maintenance for at least the first two years after construction. II V. Abandonment A. Prior to tennination of the ROW Grant, BARRETI will arrange a predetennination conference to review the termination provisions of the grant and develop an approach to abandonment. 12 3032859573 BO~RETT RESOURCES ....... -.... -... April 25, 1994 Piceance Creek Ranch Attn: Mr. Johnson Dear Mr. Johnson: 952 P05 APR 28 '94 13:52 We are putting together applications for county special use permits required for the pipeline we are planning from Parachute Creek to Greasewood. We need statements from the landowners involved authorizinlj1 us to apply for these per11.1ts before right-of-way negotiations are finalized. With your signature, the statement below will allow us to get started with this permit process. We appreciate your help. Si;:;;;,,&~ Mike Brady BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION PARACHUTE VALLEY-GREASEWOOD COMPRESSOR STATION PIPELINE: PRELIMINARY PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT PREPARED FOR THE U.S. BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT WHITE RIVER RESOURCE AREA PROJECT MANAGER: VAUGHN HACKETT I. Project Description A. Overview A 16-inch natural gas pipeline is proposed from CIG's Greasewood Compressor Station in Sec. 8, T2S, R96W, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, south to BARRETT's meter station in Sec. 36, T5S, R96W, Garfield County, Colorado, as per attached map and land schedule fonn. This pipeline is needed to deliver produced natural gas from BARRETT wells to markets, as the existing pipeline companies do not have capacity to transport the gas to interconnecting pipelines. Construction of the pipeline will begin as soon as necessary pennitting is obtained. B. Purpose and Need Existing pipelines are owned by Northwest Pipeline Corporation, with 16-17 million cubic feet of gas per day capacity, and by Questar, with a capacity of 16-20 million cubic feet of gas per day, with numerous days down to 5 million cubic feet of gas per day due to the line's minimum operating pressure of 780 pounds. Any gas developed and hooked into Williams pipeline has the same pressure restrictions due to their connection to Questar. BARRETT has 200,000 acres under lease in the Parachute, Rifle, and Debeque areas. BARRETT has 120 Mesa Verde and 80 Wasatch wells presently producing with the capability to produce 53 million cubic feet of gas per day as of January 1, 1994. BARRETT has future plans to continue with the present two rotary rigs drilling for the next ten years with a third rig as needed to develop these properties to the maximum. This plan should allow for gas deliveries to be increased to approximately 90 million cubic feet of gas per day. Due to the limitations now experienced on the existing systems plus the monetary demands for finn transportation and time restraints required by existing pipelines for upgrading their systems, it is imperative that BARRETT install and own a gathering line to allow uninterrupted gas sales. C. Right of Way (ROW) The pipeline will parallel the existing Northwest Pipeline Corporation line from Sec. 36, T5N, R96W, Garfield County, Colorado, to Sec. 8, T2N, 96W, Rio Blanco County, Colorado. This coincides with a utility corridor identified in the BLM's 1985 Piceance Basin Resource Management Plan. Approximately 9.87 miles of the right of way is on land administered by the BLM, the remaining 15.44 miles on private land. (See attached 1 land ownership schedule.) The permanent ROW is 30 feet wide, and the temporary-use ROW is an additional 40 feet wide. Minor deviations within the approved corridor may be required to avoid or minimize environmental impacts. D. Planned Construction The pipeline will be steel with an inside diameter of 15.750 inches. Pipe-to-pipe distance from the Northwest pipeline will be 25 feet. The line will be covered to a depth of at least three feet except at locations approved for above-ground installations. Associated facilities will include a processing facility, meter station, pig catcher, volume tank and above-ground storage tank. Construction access will be via existing roads. E. Construction Schedule Construction will begin as soon as permitting is complete, hopefully in June 1994. It is anticipated that two crews will work simultaneously at different locations. Temporal avoidance of critical habitat areas may delay construction in some areas, as noted below. It is anticipated that the pipeline will be in service by early September 1994. II. Construction A. Access Roads I. BARRETT is proposing no new access-road construction. 2. Some existing roads may require repairs before use. Any road repair that cuts new ground will be subject to prior approval. 3. BARRETT will coordinate use of public roads with appropriate agencies and permittees, and use of private roads with appropriate landowners. 4. The access road system is identified on the attached ROW maps. 5. Any temporary access roads required will be pemtitted under a temporary use permit. 6. Where the pipeline intersects public roads, BARRETT will discourage vehicular traffic on the ROW. 7. Public access will be maintained, and livestock control will be employed, during construction to limit impacts to current land use. 8. Fences encountered along the ROW will be adequately braced before cutting. Locking gates or appropriate fencing will be installed when construction has been completed. Fences, gates and cattle guards will be restored to pre-construction condition or replaced. 2 9. No construction or maintenance activities will be performed when the soil is too wet to adequately support equipment. If equipment creates ruts in excess of six inches deep, operation of such equipment will cease. No blading of mud will occur on access roads. 10. Access roads will be watered as necessary to achieve acceptable dust abatement. B. Storage, Staging and Lay-down Areas I. Approximately 15 areas will be required for: temporary storage of equipment, pipe and other materials; staging of construction operations; and lay-down of equipment adjacent to cut-and-fill areas (cliffs, steep slopes and washes), stream and highway crossings, and spanned washes. These are marked on the attached maps, though final determination of their number, location and dimensions have not yet been made. Such special-use areas on ELM-administered land and will be included in the temporary-use permit. Staging and lay-down areas will average about 600 feet long and 150 feet wide and will be aligned with the construction ROW. 2. None of these storage/staging/lay-down areas will be located in enviromnentally sensitive sites. Little or no site disturbance will occur. Where the surface is disturbed, it will be reclaimed to the same standards as the ROW. C. Pioneering and Blading I. BARRETT will protect all recognizable public and private survey monuments found within the ROW. Disturbance or obliteration of any such monument will be reported to the respective installing authority if known. 2. BARRETT will mark the exterior boundaries of the ROW with stakes and/or lathe at 200-foot intervals. The lathes will be flagged in a distinctive color. Survey station numbers will be marked on the boundary stakes/lathes at the entrance to and the exit from public land. Boundary stakes/lathes will remain in place until cleanup is complete and approved. 3. BARRETT will stake slopes and grades, staging and lay-down areas, culvert locations, and other construction-control areas to ensure construction in accordance with the POD. If stakes are disturbed, they will be replaced before proceeding with construction. 4. The ROW will be cleared of above-ground vegetation and obstructions to allow safe and efficient equipment operations. Trees and brush will be cut and pushed to the edge of the ROW. A brush shredder may be used. Stumps and roots will be removed only when necessary to complete the trench. 5. Topsoil will be stripped to the following depths in these areas: a. 10 to 12 inches in Sec. 22, Sec. 27 and Sec. 34, T4S, R96W; 3 b. Six to IO inches along ridges in Sec. 15, T4S, R96W, and four to six inches where vegetation is present; c. Six to IO inches along Barnes Ridge and Sec. 5, T3S, R96W; and d. Ten to 12 inches from Sec. 32, TIS, R96W to the compressor station, except for the steep slope in Sec. 16, TIS, R96W where four to six inches will be stripped where vegetation is present. 6. Blading will occur only over the trench and on the spoil side of the trench unless necessary for safe operations on the working side of the trench. All topsoil will be bladed and stored separately at the outside of the spoil side of the trench. 7. On cut-and-fill slopes, topsoil will be stripped from the entire width of the cut- and-fill area and stockpiled at the top of the slope. 8. Watering or other dust-abatement practices will be employed during this and all other phases of construction in the interest of maintaining air quality. D. Trenching 1. The width and depth of the trench for the 16-inch pipeline will vary according to the soil type and the minimum coverage requirement. Typical trench depths will vary from 60 to 72 inches. Widths will vary from 48 to 60 inches. 2. Self-propelled trenching equipment and track hoes will be used for most excavation. In rocky soils, tractor-mounted rippers may be employed. Trenching in rock may require blasting. 3. Subsoil removed from the trench will be stockpiled in a bank on the spoil side of the trench, between the trench and the topsoil bank created during blading. The two banks will not be mixed. Banks will be broken at regular intervals to prevent backup of storm water. 4. Permits required for blasting in accordance with local, state and federal ordinances will be secured before any such work occurs. Any blasting will adhere to all manufacturer's safety prescriptions and industry practices. 5. In trenches through rock, the pipeline will be padded with sand or subsoil, not with topsoil. If padding material from off the ROW is required, the necessary permits will be obtained and stipulated procedures followed. 6. Crossing County Roads 5 and 3, adjacent to Piceance Creek and in Collins Gulch, respectively, may be accomplished by boring under the roadway or trenching across it. Required county and state permits will be acquired before such work begins. 4 E. Pipe Stringing and Installation I. The required pipe, fittings and valves will be spread along the ROW either before or after trenching. 2. A petroleum-based product will be used to coat the pipe to reduce corrosion, then the pipe will be taped to protect it from abrasion, shock and corrosion. Standard cathodic and anodic corrosion-protection facilities will be installed following installation. 3. At stream crossings, the coatings described above will be replaced with a one- part, heat-curable epoxy to protect the pipe under wetter conditions. 4. Following welding of the pipeline, a third-party contractor will conduct standard radiographic examination of the welds. Defects will be replaced or repaired as per American Petroleum Institute Standard 1104. F. Backfilling I. Trench breakers will be installed to prevent the flow of liquids along the trench. 2. Back-filling will proceed by first pulling the subsoil bank back into the trench, then respreading the topsoil bank over the bladed area. Back-filling will done to prevent settling which would result in a depression over the trench. 3. In areas where the pipeline crosses or is tangent to roadways, it will be covered to a depth of at least three feet in rocky areas, four feet in alluvial areas. G. Construction at Streams and Wetlands I. Single crossings of two live streams, Parachute and Piceance Creeks, will be required. Two irrigation ditches adjacent to Piceance Creek will be crossed. It is anticipated that some wetlands are associated with these water bodies, and that additional small seeps and springs may be encountered along the ROW. 2. Stream and wetland crossings will be conducted in accordance with relevant local, state and federal regulations. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide General Permit No. 12 is anticipated. Practices to reduce impacts to water quality, channel stability, and wetland and aquatic resources and habitats will include but not be limited to: a. Completing stream crossings as quickly as possible, at times determined to be consistent with protection of threatened and endangered species. b. Reducing the size of staging/lay-down areas for stream crossings to the minimum possible and keeping them at least 50 feet from stream banks. c. Keeping staging/lay-down areas out of wetlands to the degree possible. 5 d. Completing stream-crossing approach preparation from the upland side, using a backhoe. e. Testing welded-up pipe radiographically before laying it in stream- channel trenches. f. Using safe and effective corrosion-reducing pipeline coatings at stream crossings (see II.E.3 above). g. Stockpiling stream spoil to prevent runoff into stream (in an adjacent upland area excavated to fonn a temporary containment basin or surrounded by staked straw bales and silt fencing). h. Covering the pipeline a minimum of four feet deep in stream channels. i. Restoring stream channels to original contours. j. Removing excess dredged material to a non-wetland site. k. Installing trench breakers in sloping approaches to stream crossings. 1. Not storing toxic materials, coating pipe, or fueling equipment within 100 feet of streams. m. Notifying appropriate authorities of crossing date at least one week in advance. n. Crossing streams perpendicularly to the degree feasible from an engineering and construction perspective. o. Limiting in-stream equipment to that necessary to complete construction. p. Maintaining flow rates at all times. q. Use of trench plugs to prevent diversion of streamflow into trench. r. Revegetating riparian areas immediately after crossing. s. Fluming inigation ditches and minor streams and using "dry ditch" techniques to install pipe. This may apply to either Parachute or Piceance Creek during low water. t. Avoiding springs and seeps as practicable in the interests of wildlife and livestock. Where avoidance is not practicable, the ROW will pass below them, and the lower edges may be diked to hold water in. u. Segregating wetland topsoil/subsoil and upland topsoil/subsoil. 6 v. Restricting blading on wetlands to the width of the trench. w. Operating equipment on mats if tracks sink more than six inches into wetland soils. H. Hydrostatic Testing 1. After back-filling, hydrostatic or gas testing of the pipeline will take place in accordance with U.S. Dept. of Transportation regulations (CFR Part 192). A third-party contractor will accomplish this task. 2. The source of any water used and the point of discharge will be identified pending approval. 3. Any necessary water withdrawal and discharge permits will be secured prior to commencing testing. 4. All appropriate agencies will be notified at least 48 hours before testing occurs. 5. Adequate flow rates in the source stream will be maintained to protect aquatic life and provide for existing down-stream uses. 6. The water intake will be screened to prevent entrapment of fish. 7. Discharge will be regulated to prevent erosion, stream-bottom scouring, suspension of sediments or excessive stream flow. 8. Prior to any discharge, hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if necessary, to assure that it meets local, state and federal water-quality standards. ill. Rehabilitation A. Cleanup 1. All foreign debris will be removed from the ROW and disposed of at a sanitary landfill. 2. Trees and brush will be scattered on the ROW after recontouring, ripping and reseeding are complete. 3. Drainages will be cleared of debris and restored to original grade. B. Recontouring 1. The ROW will be restored to as close to its original contour as possible. 2. Where original contours would pose a threat of mass failure (on steep cut-and-fill slopes) grades may be reduced from the original to reduce such hazard. 7 C. Ripping 1. Compacted soils on the working side of the ROW will be ripped to a minimum depth of eight inches prior to seeding. 2. Wetland areas will not be ripped. D. Erosion Control 1. Water bars and terraces will be used to control erosion. 2. Some latitude will be involved in the spacing of these erosion-control structures, according to erodability of soils and topography. Waterbars will generally be placed on slopes greater than five percent, at intervals not greater than 85 feet. 3. Waterbars will be constructed with a channel grade not exceeding two percent, beginning in vegetation on the uphill side and feathering into vegetation on the downhill side. 4. Construction of terraces may be stipulated on steeper slopes. 5. Following construction, access roads will be stabilized. 6. Erosion-control structures will be inspected and approved. E. Revegetation 1. BARRETI will seed all disturbed areas, including the ROW and storage, staging and lay-down areas, with approved seed mixtures. 2. Ninety percent pure live seed will be used. 3. Seeding will take place during September or October, prior to spreading on slash on ROW. 4. The BLM will be notified not less than two weeks before the seeding effort begins so that arrangements can be made for inspection of the operation. 5. Seed will be drilled where possible at established rates. Where drilling is impossible, seed will be broadcast at twice the drilled rate and covered by dragging or raking. 6. Seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is obtained. Preliminary evaluation of the stand will be made before the end of the first complete growing season following seeding. Final evaluation will not occur before the end of the second full growing season. 8 7. Stream crossings will be revegetated with a combination of seed and live plantings to approximate original vegetation. F. Marking ROW 1. Markers showing the location of the pipeline, identifying the owner, and conveying emergency information in compliance with applicable regulations will be posted at all fence, utility and transportation crossings. G. Special Considerations 1. Safety a. The facility design, installation, operation and maintenance of the pipeline are all directed at providing the optimum public protection and avoiding undue hazard exposure. At a minimum, all activities and facilities will comply with Federal Pipeline Safety Standards (49 CFR Part 192). b. Once a pipeline is in service, there is potential for pipeline breaks resulting from slope instability, seismic activity or third-party encroachment. To counteract the first two problems, potential slope instability areas will be trenched with caution to avoid landslides or slope failure. To counteract the third problem, the pipeline will be clearly marked along its entire course. c. The most significant hazard commonly associated with gas pipelines and adjunct facilities is the potential for leakage and fire. This hazard is substantially mitigated by the fact that released natural gas quickly dissipates into the air and is insoluble in water. Natural gas will not collect in low-lying areas or form an explosive vapor cloud. If ignition of escaping natural gas were to occur, the fire would be limited to the immediate area of the failure point. d. BARRETT will locate, handle and store hazardous materials, fuels, lubricants, nontoxic liquids and trash in a manner to keep them from contaminating soils and water. e. BARRETT will comply with the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as amended (15 USC 2601 et seq.). Any release of toxic substances in excess of the reportable quantity established by 40 CFR Part 117 will be reported as required by the Comprehensive Safety and Liability Act, Section 102b. f. Access and vehicular traffic will be regulated to assure public safety during construction. g. A local contractor will provide and maintain chemical toilets for the use of construction personnel. 9 2. Cultural and Paleontological Resources a. Discovery of any historic or prehistoric cultural or paleontological artifacts or sites will be reported immediately. Construction at such sites will cease until pennission to proceed is issued. b. BARRETT will be responsible for the costs of evaluating and mitigating impacts to any cultural or paleontological site. 3. Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Species a. Preliminary investigation indicates that construction could impact deer and elk severe-winter range, sage grouse strutting and nesting grounds, golden eagle nest sites, and potential habitat of two federally listed plant species, Physaria obcordata and Lesquerel/a congesta. b. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for critical deer and elk winter range between December 1 and March 31. c. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for sage grouse leks (currently thought to be S 1/2 Sl/2, S3, T4S, R96W) between March 1 and May 15. d. Construction will not take place in areas identified as buffer zones for sage grouse nesting sites (currently thought to be S34, TIS, R96W and S3, T4S, R96W) between March 1 and May 15. e. The historical golden eagle nest sites (Sec. 9, and SEl/4 SEl/4, Sec. 5, T3S, R96W) will be monitored for activity. Construction will not take place within one mile line-of-sight, or .5 mile if out of sight, of any active nest until the young have been fledged and left the nest, probably before July 31. f. If individuals or populations or Physaria obcordata or Lesquerella congesta, or any other federally listed plant species, are encountered in the ROW or other areas to be disturbed, appropriate action will be taken to protect them. 4. Noxious Weeds a. BARRETT will comply with applicable county, state and federal regulations and procedures to assure that no noxious weeds are introduced to the area as a result of any aspect of pipeline construction or operation. Consultation with appropriate authorities will indicate these regulations and procedures. b. BARRETT will be responsible for weed control on the ROW and other disturbed areas, and for any infestations occurring as a result of 10 construction or operation. A preconstruction weed inventory will be conducted by BARRETI to document initial weed populations. c. All construction equipment used in Garfield County will be high pressure washed and brought to the ROW via the Piceance Creek road (County Road 5) before commencing work in Rio Blanco County. d. Consultation with local authorities will determine species of concern and weed-control practices. 5. Visual Impacts a. Any above-ground facilities associated with this project or any spanned washes where the pipeline is exposed will be painted juniper green or another approved color. b. The rehabilitation procedures outlined above will reduce visual impact of the ROW to acceptable levels. 6. Livestock Use IV. Maintenance a. Functional use of all livestock facilities and grazing areas will be maintained throughout the construction and operation phases. b. Cattieguards will be installed by BARRETI where roads used for extended periods during construction or for postconstruction maintenance cross fence lines. A. Recurring maintenance activities include periodic patrols of the ROW to identify any pipeline or ROW anomalies. Such patrols may be on the surface or from the air, and will occur at least once a month. B. After construction BARRETI will not use the ROW as a road except for inspection and maintenance purposes. C. Any anomalies encountered (subsidence, encroachment, significant erosion or leakage) will be reported immediately and in writing. This will initiate follow-up, including assessment of the anomaly, and repair or other disposition. D. The revegetation and weed-control practices noted above will be part of maintenance for at least the first two years after construction. 11 V. Abandonment A. Prior to tennination of the ROW Grant, BARRETI will arrange a predetennination conference to review the tennination provisions of the grant and develop an approach to abandonment. 12 JUI~ 08 '94 09: 50AM BARRET BAUMBERGER & ASSOCIATES INC.

RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENT (Davis Point) STATE OF COLORADO COUNTY OF GARFIELD KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that UNION OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA, corporation, hereinafter referred to as Grantor, for and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS AND OTHER CONSIDERATION to the Grantor in hand paid by BARRETT RESOURCE CORPORATION, a corporation, hereinafter referred to as Grantee, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, does hereby grant, and convey, without warranty of title, either expressed or implied, unto said Grantee, its successors and assigns, an easement twenty-five (25) feet in width and twenty-five (25) feet in depth (hereinafter called "Easement") to locate, survey a route, construct, entrench, maintain and operate a pipeline with necessary valves, cathodic equipment and appurtenances thereto, (said pipelines, valves, cathodic equipment and appurtenances, being hereinafter sometimes collectively called the "Facilities") along the western boundary within a non-exclusive construction right-of-way fifty (50) feet wide (hereinafter called "Right-of-Way"). This line is for the sole purpose of transporting natural gas to Grantee's g·athering· station in Garfield County, Colorado, over, under and through the land, along the line designated by survey heretofore made or hereafter to be made by Grantee, hereinafter described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto; and an easement ten (10) feet wide, being five (5) feet on each side of the following centerline (also hereinafter called Easement) (with "Facilities"). Upon completion of construction, Grantee shall furnish to Grantor a reasonable as-built survey description of the facilities. Gran tor shall notify Grantee at least fifteen (15) days prior to commencing or allowing any construction within the non-specified ten (10) foot Easement or twelve point five (12.5) feet from the Easterly or Westerly boundaries of said ten (10) foot non-specified Easement. Unless Grantee, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, specifies a reasonable alternate route, depth or construction specifications, the Grantor shall be entitled to proceed in accordance with the original plan. Grantor reserves the right to grant additional easements which may overlap the Right-of-Way and Easement herein granted provided that Grantor shall not allow any facility or structure to be constructed closer than twelve point five (12.5) feet hereinafter called Buffer Zone except as otherwise provided herein. Grantor reserves the right to terminate portions of this Easement, Facilities or Right-of-Way with twelve (12) months' prior written notice to Grantee provided however, such right is conditioned on Grantor's providing suitable alternate Easement, Facilities and Right-of-Way to Grantee. Grantee shall remove and relocate the Right-of-Way, Easement and Facilities at its cost and expense. All ingress and egress to and from, and access on and along said Right-of-Way will be coordinated between the Grantee and the Grantor. Grantee shall conduct the construction, inspection, repairs and maintenance in a manner that will cause the least practicable damage and inconvenience to Grantor. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD for a primary term extending through July 1, 1996, and for so long thereafter as Grantee or its successors and permitted assigns are using Facilities for the transportation of natural gas. This easement may be terminated by Grantor after giving at least twelve (12) months' written notice thereof to Grantee. If after this primary term operations for the transportation of natural gas cease for a period of more than thirty-six (36) consecutive months, then such operations shall be deemed not to be conducted and this Right-of-Way and Easement shall terminate. Grantee may, at any time or from time to time, remove Facilities and upon permanent abandonment or termination as provided herein, shall execute and record a reconveyance and release. Upon termination Grantee shall restore and reclaim all land included within the Easement affected by Grantee's activities to its equivalent prior condition. Such restoration and reclamation shall include, but not be limited to, the removal of facilities located on the surface of the ground. Grantor reserves the right for itself, its assigns, and subsequent grantees to the use and enjoyment of said Right-of-Way, Easements and Facilities, provided such use shall not unreasonably interfere with Grantee's rights hereunder, including the right to have Grantor's or its assigns' facilities across/through the Easement in such a manner which shall not unreasonably interfere with Grantee's then existing use of its Easement. No such facility shall cross Grantee's Easement without Grantee's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantor shall notify Grantee at least fifteen (15) days prior to commencing or allowing construction of any such crossing which Grantor, or subsequent Grantee, proposes to install or construct and shall be entitled to install or construct such crossing unless Grantee, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, specifies a reasonable alternative depth or route, in which case the Grantor, or a subsequent grantee, shall use the alternative depth or route so specified. Whether or not taxes, assessments or public charges are separately assessed against Grantee, it shall pay taxes, assessments or public charges levied or imposed upon its Right-of-Way and Easement or upon other personal property, improvements or fixtures owned or placed by it within the Right-of-Way and Easement subject to its right to contest same, provided that in no event shall Grantee permit its Right-of-Way and Easement to be sold for tax purposes. In the event said taxes, assessments or public charges are not separately assessed, then promptly following written notice from Grantor, Grantee shall reimburse Grantor for any taxes, assessments or public charges attributable to its Right-of-Way and Easement. Grantee shall keep its Right-of-Way and Easement free and clear of all liens or encumbrances at all times, subject to its right to contest same, provided, however, that the lien and encumbrance of Grantee's general mortgage and indenture shall not be affected by this provision, if said mortgage is subordinated to Grantee's obligation under this Right-of-Way and Easement. Grantee shall have the non-exclusive right to mark the location of its Right- of-Way and Easement by suitable markers set on the ground. Grantee shall construct, operate, and maintain its Easement in a safe, clean, lawful and workmanlike manner and in accordance with accepted industry standards including, but not limited to, the following: a. Grantee shall provide contracted security during construction as follows: 1. Security company shall be selected by Grantor. 2. Grantee will contract and pay security company, but security company will report to Grantor. 3. Rovers will be used as deemed necessary by Grantor. 4. No private vehicles will be allowed on Unocal Property. b. Laydown areas will be subject to Unocal approval and will be within Construction Easement as much as possible. c. No new roads are to be constructed. Current roads will be maintained and cleaned up, before and after pipeline construction, to Grantor's satisfaction. d. All applicable permits must be obtained by Grantee in a timely fashion. e. The Grantee shall complete all work necessary on or before August 1, 1994; provided, however Grantee agrees to use its best efforts to complete construction by July 25, 1994. In the event Grantee does not complete the pipeline before August 1, 1994, Grantee shall be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of $500.00 per day. Grantor and Grantee agree this amount represents a reasonable estimate of damages in connection with any delay in the completion of the work, and that such damages are otherwise not readily determinable. The remedy provided for herein shall be available at law or equity, and Grantor and Grantee acknowledge and agree that it is the intent to liquidate only the damages for delay in the event Grantor seeks such damages instead of specific performance. f. Following any such construction, Grantee shall rehabilitate the Right-of-Way across the property described herein utilizing a contractor approved by Grantor. Rehabilitation instructions will be as follows: The slopes shall be graded back to be stable and fertilized, seeded and mulched for revegetation. On the overall pipeline a seed mixture shall be as listed, fertilized as listed and some areas of critical concern shall require mulching. Seed Mixture Required Per Acre: Species Western Wheatgrass Bluebunch Wheatgrass Smooth Brome Basin Wildrye Cicer Milkvetch Fertilizer Required Per Acre: 250 bulk pounds 43-0-0 Origin Rosana Secar Man char Magnar Monarch Pounds Pure Seed per Acre 6.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 Soil preparation required prior to fertilizing and seeding shall be tilled to loosen the soil to a minimum depth of 6 inches. This should be accomplished when backfilling is accomplished and access is in place to the sites. Fertilizer may be applied prior to soil preparation if the tillage follows soon after. The seed planting should be accomplished with a drill seeder so that the seed is incorporated into the soil at a depth of 114 -112 inch and some scattered on the surface. Hay mulch, where required will be grass hay applied uniformly at rate of 1 112 tons per acre and crimped or mechanically anchored into the soil. The cut or regrade slopes on the lower valley shall have mulch applied and glued to the slope with a mixture of 120 pounds of tack and 600 pounds of wood fiber. All areas treated shall have 1 112 tons grass hay per acre spread onto the slopes and glued in place with a slurry of 120 pounds of M type binder and 500 pounds of wood fiber per acre. g. Grantee shall bury any subsurface Facilities at least to a depth of forty-two (42) inches from finished grade, except in areas in which consolidated rock is encountered. In such consolidated rock, Grantee shall bury any subsurface Facilities at least to a depth of twenty-four (24) inches from finished grade except where such burial is not feasible due to extreme terrain. h. Grantee shall provide casing for any pipeline within heavy load crossing access routes, as reasonably designated by Grantor, from time to time, or at Grantee's option, shall bury said pipeline to a depth sufficient to accommodate heavy load crossing routes. i. Grantee shall install a reasonably adequate cathodic protection system upon right of way furnished by Grantor. Such system shall be coordinated with other facility owners' cathodic protection systems for similar facilities. j. Grantee shall maintain current as-built drawings for subsurface Facilities within the Easement and turnouts and cross-overs from the Easement which drawings shall be maintained on a current basis. Copies shall be furnished to Grantor, and filed with the Garfield County Planner or other applicable county authority. k. Grantee shall provide Grantor with prompt notice by telephone of any material obstructions discovered during construction within the Easement which may reasonably require Grantor's cooperative removal to facilitate subsequent use of the Right-of-Way. This agreement does not create the obligation on the part of Grantor to remove obstructions or to pay any of the costs thereof. 1. Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Grantor, its directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability, which Grantor may incur or suffer as a result of damage of property or injury to or death of persons arising out of or resulting from the exercise of Grantee's rights hereunder, except to the extent that any such damage, injury or death may be caused by the negligence of the Grantor.
