Hi Mark,
I am fine with the responses . However if you feel I need to take a second look at any one of them I will.
i. Seed testing: Canyon Gas Resources will submit the seed tags from the reclamation project.
The seed will be purchased from a reliable source; the seed bag tags will state the percent pure
live seed and the absence of weed seeds on the tag.
I did talk to Debra Sittner and she asked about the independent seed testing request and said that all bags would
have the tags stating "pure live seed " and "absence of weed seed s" ..... i said that that was OK.

Tamara: Ron stopped in yesterday after the BOCC meeting and I issued the permit for the road cut. I told
Ron to have the subcontractor (Flint Construction) call me ASAP as I would probably not allow any work after
November 15, unless we have an unusual fall. I want it done before the ground starts to freeze and I also
have gravel haul going on now on that road. I will have Wendy fax you a copy of the permit.
Thanks, Jake

Re: South Parachute Pipelin e Project-Imp act Statement & Industrial Standards
5.03.07 (1) Impact Statement
The proposed Canyon Gas Resources, Inc. pipeline project will be located in Garfield County, Colorado near the
town of Parachute . Th is is an extension of a pipeline network already installed in that area that will gather and
transport natural gas from several wells and for different companies . The right-of-way width will vary but is around
50' wide depending on the landowner. The pipeline is an 8" low pressure natural gas line. The length of the
pipeline will be approximately 41 ,800 feet or 8 miles, and will encompass about 48 acres. Construction of the
pipeline is scheduled to kick off on October 1, 2003, and will be completed around December 1, 2003. The crew.
will work from around 7 :00am to 6 :00pm (exact times will vary due to daylight becoming shorter eve ry day) from
Monday through Saturday each week. There are 5 major stages of operations :
1. Clearing and Leveling -This stage entails clearing of brush and trees, then leveling the are a to allow larger
trucks to work.
2. Trenching-This stage will involve trenching machinery that will dig a trench approximately 55" to 60" deep. The
topsoil will be separated from the subsurface material (spoil).
3 . Laying of the Pipe .. Pipe will then be laid on the surface along side the ditch . It will be welded together, checked
for leaks, and then lifted by a large piece of machinery and placed in the ditch .
4. Backfilling-The entire trench will be backfilled with spoi l first, then topsoil. There will be a approximately 36" of
cover over the pipeline.
5 . Reclamation-The entire disturbed area will then be re-contoured to as close to original condition as possible
and reseeded with a seed mix approved by the County Vegetation Department or the Bureau of Land
Management. Brush will be chipped and spread, and trees on the BLM will be scattered along the right-of-way to
discourage vehicu lar use.
Address the following:
(1A). Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of surface run-off, stream flow or ground
water. No water depletion is anticipated. Short term increases in surface run -off sediment load during and after
construction will be mitigated with erosion control and reclamation . Ground water & stream pollution -not
applicable .
(1 B). Impacts on adjacent land from the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration. No
substantial effe cts are anticipated . There will be som e dust and noise during construction but will be negligible.
(1C). Impacts on wildlife and domestic animals through the creation of hazardous attractions, alteration of
exis ting native vegetation, blockade of migration routes, use patterns or other dis ruption s . No s ubstantia l
effects are anticipated .
(1 D). Affirmative ly show the impacts of truck and a utomobile traffic to and from s uch u ses and their
impacts to areas in the County. No substantial effects are anticipated .
