Submit plans and specifications for tlte proposed use including tlte !tours of operation, tlte number and type of vehicles accessing tlte site on a daily, weekly and/or montltly basis, and tlte size of any existing and/or proposed.structures that will be used in conjunction witlt the proposed use. Please submit the specific information in narrative form and be specific. This Circle Dot Quarry site will be used as a construction materials mine. The material removed from this site will be used as construction material by Marathon Oil Company (Marathon). Marathon is the project operator, developer, and is actively conducting exploration and development of the natural gas resource in the area. The current drilling and development plan includes pad construction, access road improvement/construction, and installation of associated facilities. The Circle Dot Quarry is proposed to provide construction materials for these activities. Site description The location for this proposed construction materials mine is on property owned by Berry Petroleum Company and leased and operated by Marathon. The parcel comprises 334 total acres of land. The area of activity does not come into contact with any adjacent properties. The nearest adjacent property owner from this site is Y4 of a mile away. The closest municipality is the town of Parachute, 10 miles southeast. The site is 9 miles up Garden Gulch Road of of County Road 215, and Yi mile up a private road in an area that is currently used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. The proposed quarry will utilize a small knoll comprised primarily of shale to produce construction material for their operations in the area. The total area of disturbance will not exceed 10.0 acres. Site Design The site will be designed to remove material from the private road access point and proceed in a north-westerly direction (see attached site plan). Initially, material will be excavated from the toe of the southern slope to create a flat working surface. As the working face progresses deeper into the hillside, terraces will be cut into the working face with a bulldozer. These terraces will allow material to be safely moved from the upper reaches of the working face, down to the loading area. The terraces will also aid in keeping a general 1: 1 contour on the working face to control erosion and stormwater runoff. Topsoil will be removed as mining progresses and placed in a pile to the southwest of the site. This pile will be seeded to control erosion and stormwater runoff. The mining phase includes the following activities; rock mining, rock crushing, and product stockpiling. The mining will utilize heavy equipment such as bulldozers to extract material from the quarry. Loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, which will convey the material to stockpiles. Loaders will fill trucks for transport to construction sites in the area. CIRCLE DOT QUARRY E07147 Page l of 13 CORDILl..ERAN COMPLIANCE SERVICES, INC GRAND Jt.:NCTION, COLORADO ) The flat area cleared of material on the site will be used as a loading and staging area. This is where loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, crushed material will be stockpiled and where trucks hauling material from the site will be loaded. Hours of Operation The possible hours of operation will be 07:00 to 19:00 hrs, 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday). Periods of activity will vary depending upon the need for material. The lifespan of this materials mine will be dependent on the mineral resource development requirements of the land owner. Vehicles, Machinery, and Structures The mining will utilize heavy equipment such as bulldozers to extract material from the quarry. Loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, which will convey the material to a screen machine and then to stockpiles. Loaders will fill dump trucks for material transport to construction sites in the area. Up to six dump trucks will be accessing the site on a daily basis during peak periods of activity. One or two operators will be present during hours of operation. Water trucks will be used for dust control as necessary. There will not be any structures added to this proposed site. As material is removed from this site, the exposed flat surface will be used as an occasional staging area for construction and natural gas equipment. Eventually, the flat surface area created may be utilized as a well pad for gas development. Water Use 2.

Aspen in site vicinity Site Inspection and Survey A site inspection conducted by WestWater Engineering (WWE) occurred on August 29, 2007. The perimeter and adjoining lands were surveyed for plant communities and wildlife use. Two posts and markers located near the center of the quarry mark the location of the geo-technical test bores. Table 1 is a list of wildlife species which could be expected to be observed on or from the site during some period in the annual cycle. Wildlife observed or leaving evidence of use on the day of inspection is noted in bold type. The data, obtained from the Colorado Division of Wildlife County Species Occurrence database, was extracted and modified by WestWater Engineering biologists based on the plant communities present at the site, potential wildlife using those plant communities during at least one season and experience from observing similar sites throughout the region (CDOW, 2006, Fitzgerald, et al. 1994, Andrews and Righter, 1992, Hammerson, 1999).

Discussion The site is an open, shrubby, rock formation overlain with high quality top soil on a narrow ridge formed by Circle Dot Gulch to the north and Sheep Kill Gulch on the south, tributary to Red Gulch above the West Fork of Parachute Creek. The landscape is dominated by big sagebrush- needle grass plant community. Interspersed throughout the complex topography are pockets or copses of aspen, mountain shrubs dominated by serviceberry and oakbrush which, together with the complex terrain, provides excellent range for a diverse assemblage of wildlife. Particularly notable wildlife includes Cooper's Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Greater Sage-Grouse, Dusky Grouse (formerly Blue Grouse), black bear, American elk, and mule deer (Photos 1 and 2) all represented by large numbers and high density. One Red-tailed Hawk nest (Nest 1, Figure 1) was observed during the onsite examination. The nest was apparently active during 2007, but is no longer occupied. A second raptor nest (Nest 2, Figure 1 ), likely that of a Cooper's Hawk was also observed. The nest appeared to have been inactive for several years. Red-tailed Hawks, Cooper's Hawks, and Sharp-shinned Hawks were all observed in the project area during the examination. Photo 2. Same doe as Photo 1. Photo 3. The aspen woodlands on steeper slopes above and adjacent to the site provide high quality habitat for mule deer, elk, black bear, greater sage grouse, Cooper's hawks, Swainson's hawks, and cavity nesters like the Downy Woodpecker and Northern Flicker. The big sagebrush (Artemesia tridentata spp.)-needlegrass (Stipa spp.) plant community, dominated by Wyoming WestWater Engineering Page 5of7 August 31, 2007 big sagebrush on coarser, rocky soils and mountain big sagebrush in finer, deeper soils is within the overall range of the greater sage grouse (CDOW 2006). Wet meadow and streams produce succulent herbaceous plants and insects, important to nesting greater sage grouse and survival of their young, as well as for many other species. Within the over all range of greater sage-grouse, the area around the site meets criteria for brood rearing habitat, a particularly important habitat component. In dry years, insufficient brood rearing forage leads to low recruitment of young-of- the-year going into the winter. No evidence of recent greater sage-grouse use was observed during the examination. Structure of shrubs and adjacency to wet meadows and streams provide excellent brood rearing habitat for greater sage-grouse and dusky grouse (formerly blue grouse). Abundant evidence and several dusky grouse (Photo 3) were observed at the project site during the examination. Grazing intensity by livestock and wildlife is low and well within the capacity of the vegetation community to produce sufficient forage. Heavy browsing of older, senescent serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) by mule deer was evident around the site. Wildlife Mitigation and Management Recommendations Improve Greater Sage Grouse Habitat. Sage grouse brood rearing habitat could be improved by excluding livestock, particularly cattle, from creek bottoms and wet meadows along creeks. Degradation of the wetlands reduces capacity of wetlands to produce insects and herbaceous forage critical to sage grouse in their annual cycle. Minimize footprint of disturbance. Reduce to the minimum level possible all soil disturbing activities. Park construction vehicles on previously disturbed lands during construction to further reduce temporary disturbance. Re-seeding. Temporary and permanent disturbances are recommended to be re-seeded with native grasses. These measures should be described in an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan for this site. Black Bear Measures. "A fed bear is a dead bear" is the message from the Colorado Division of Wildlife. It is not only unsafe, it is illegal. Keep all trash and food waste in bear-proof containers. Put dog food and bowls, cooking appliances and utensils in bear-proof storage at night. Black bears will rarely attack but if they are surprised, feel danger, wish to protect territory or if they have cubs they may attack. The best way to avoid danger is to avoid bears. When walking or traveling through bear territory make a lot of noise. If you see a black bear, make sure he sees you. Hold your arms high above your head using a coat or outer garment to make yourself appear larger. Continue to make noise and slowly back away. If you run the bear will likely chase you. If the bear comes for you, climb a tree or drop to a fetal position. Cover you head and neck with your hands. Once the bear realizes you are not a threat he may leave. If the bear does not stop the attack when playing dead, fight back and make as much noise as possible. Raptor Timing Limitations. In areas of known raptor nesting, construction and drilling activities should not be scheduled between territory establishment and dispersal of young from the nest (March I through August 15). If work is planned during the nesting season, areas of WestWater Engineering Page 6 of7 August 31, 2007 known and potential nesting should be inventoried by qualified biologists. Timing limitation restrictions should then be considered and applied to all active nests. WestWater recommends temporal and spatial restrictions for activities near active nests based on BLM stipulations (BLM 1997), Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) recommendations (Craig 2002), and literature review of nesting season timing for raptors in the Roan Plateau region (Andrews and Righter 1992, Kingery 1998, Poole 2005). These recommendations are summarized in Table 2. Table 2.

August, 2007 INTRODUCTION: This plan is intended to be used as a guide for the management of Garfield County and State of Colorado designated noxious weeds on land leased, owned or managed by Marathon Oil Company in Garfield County, Colorado. Priority will be given to eradication of Garfield County designated noxious weeds. (Sec attached list). A Noxious Weed Inventory of will be performed on each proposed construction site as they are submitted to Garfield County for approval. The results, including a map of any infestations will accompany this document. Site specific control measures will also be included. This Weed Management Plan will emphasize prevention and early detection of noxious weeds which may occur on disturbed areas. I. Inventory and Ma11ping A visual inspection of the proposed project will be performed prior to the approval process. A map of the area will be included. The area will be re-inspected annually and if fow1d, new weed infestations will be added to the map using GPS coordinates. II. Prevention One of the best ways to prevent noxious weed from becoming established is to re- vegetate all newly disturbed areas with competitive species of plants as soon after disturbance as feasible. Seed mixtures for revegetation will be designated by Marathon Oil Company with the assistance of the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Colorado State University Cooperative Exstension Note: The recommended seed mixtures should be applied with a broadcast seeder followed by harrowing with a sharp-toothed harrow to achieve a cover depth of 114 to 2 inches. Drill seeding and/or hydroseeding may be utilized in some areas. If mulch is used it should be Ce1tified weed-free straw or hay or packaged hydro mulch. Revegetation projects will be evaluated one year after completion for effectiveness. III. Treatment Priority will be given to Garfield County listed noxious weeds. Herbicide treatments will be approved by the Regulatory Specialist for Marathon Oil Company. All herbicide treatments will be performed by Colorado Depat1ment of Agriculture licensed personnel using approved herbicides. Product label directions will be strictly adhered to. Special precautions to protect sensitive vegetation, surface and ground water resources will include: I. No herbicide applications when wind exceeds I 0 mph to reduce the chance of drift and related damage to non-target plants. 2. Only aquatic labeled herbicides will be used near surface water and wetlands. 3. Bareground herbicides will not be applied if heavy rainfall is expected to occur on the same day to reduce the chances of the product moving off-site. Methods of Treatment: Chemical: Due to the nature of average weed infestations, chemical treatments will be the most effective and cost efficient. Herbicides will be applied by truck mounted power sprayers, A TVs and/or backpack sprayers as appropriate for each individual situation. Specific herbicides and application rates for commonly occuning noxious weeds are included in the attached document (Appendix A). Herbicide treatments of noxious weeds, if necessary, are expected to begin in the month of June at this elevation and continue thru August. Mechanical: Annual and Biennial noxious weeds may be controlled by chopping tl1e root below ground level with a shovel or hoe. This method can be used by Marathon field personnel when individual plm1ts or small infestations are encountered. Evaluation of Treatments and Follow-up Treatments All treatments will be evaluated for efficacy in the fall and re-treatment will be perfonned if necessary. Inspections will be conducted throughout the spraying season and any new findings will be added to the OPS mapping system. TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: BIENNIALS Bull thistle: Spray with Tordon 22 K herbicide at I pint per acre when plant is in the rosette stage of growth, increase rate to I 'Ii pints when plant has bolted. Musk thistle: Same as Bull thistle. Houndstougue: Spray with Tordon 22k herbicide at I 'Ii pints per acre in the rosette stage of growth. Co111111011 mullein: Spray with Escort or Telar herbicide at I ounce per acre prior to bloom. Add a quality surfactant. Or spray with Tordon 22K at I pint per acre when plant is in rosette stage. Common burdock: Spray with Redeem herbicide at 2 qumts per acre in rosette or in early bolt stage of growth. ANNUALS Russian thistle: Spray with 2,4-D 4 lb. Amine at 2 quarts per acre in early spring. Add a high quality surfactant. Or spray with Roundup at 2 quaits per acre in early spring. Kocbia : Same as Russian thistle. PERENNIALS Canada thistle: Spray with Tordon 22K herbicide at I qumt per acre when plant is in bud to bloom stage of growth or during fall regrowth. BAREGROUND TREATMENTS: Spray designated areas with a preemergent herbicide such as Sahara DG at 10 pounds per acre plus Roundup at 2 quarts per acre in early spring prior to normal periods of rainfall.

PUMPING STATION The proposed Pumping Station is located just west of Parachute Creek and just north of Williams Grand Valley Gas Plant. Existing vegetation on the site includes Big sagebrush, Rabbitbmsh and Wheatgrasses on the undisturbed portion. Areas which have been previously disturbed are inhabited with annual weeds such as Russian thistle and Sunflower spp. A noxious weed inventory was conducted on August 1, 2007 by Paller & Girard, Inc. The only noxious weed detected was Musk thistle (Carduus nutans). The infestation is less than 25 plants in size and will be sprayed with an appropriate herbicide prior to construction. This site will be monitored for re-infestation and follow-up treatments will be performed as necessary.

PROPOSED GAS GATHERING RIGHT-OF-WAY The proposed gas gathering system is approximately 5 miles long (see attached map) and traverses a variety of elevations and vegetation types. Most of the proposed right-of- way is through undisturbed native vegetation as shown in the photographs below. A noxious weed survey was conducted on August 1, 2007 by Paller & Girard, Inc. Most of the accessible sections of the right-of-way were walked by the surveyor. The more difficult to access sections were entered at random intervals from roads and other pipelines and visual inspections were performed. Only a few individual noxious weed plants were encow1tered and physically removed by the surveyor. Plants found were Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare) and Houndstounge, (Cynoglossum officianle). One small infestation of Houndstongue and Common mullein was found in an area that had been overgrazed (See attached map). This area will be treated with an appropriate herbicide prior to any constrnction on U1e site. The entire right-of-way will be monitored annually for new infestations of noxious weeds and timely treatments will be made if necessary. Typical native vegetation found on the right-of- way.

The existing right-of-way was inspected for noxious weeds during the course of the inventory. The revegetation in these areas has not yet become established and the vegetative cover is composed mainly of grasses and annual weeds. A few individual Houndstongue and Bull thistle plants were encountered and were hand pulled. Typical vegetative cover on the existing pipeline. CORDllLERAN August 27, 2007 Sound Level Study at Proposed Circle Dot Gulch Quarry 826 21 y, Road Grand Junction, CO 81505 T: 970.263. 7800 F: 970.263.7456 A sound level study has been completed for Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) at the proposed site for their Circle Dot Gulch Quarry, located about 17 miles northwest of Parachute, CO. Potential sound levels were estimated for operations at the site utilizing sound level data provided by the equipment manufacturer. Crushing and screening equipment at the site will include a 4043T Impact Crusher and Spyder 5 l 6T by Screen Machines Industries. Provided sound levels from the manufacturer are as follows: 4043T Impact Crusher (Caterpillar C-9 300hp): @2100rpm 98. 7@1m 81.8@ 7m 75.2@ 15m Spyder 516T (Cummins QSB4.5 I JOhp): Top 90.2 Rt. Side 92.I Lt. Side 93.7 Front 93 Exhaust 112.1 All at Im and full-load speed As indicated above, the sound level produced by the crusher is 98. 7 db( A) measured at a distance of 1 meter (3.28 feet) from the crusher. Both the crusher and Spyder screen will be located at least I 00 feet from the site boundary. The Spyder screen will be situated where the exhaust is pointed away from the closest site boundary. The average sound level of the sides and front of the screen is 93.0 dB(A) at 1 meter (3.28 feet). Addition of the two decibels can be calculated using the following equation: L = lOlog(IO<LllIOl+ 10<L2110J) This gives a combined noise level of 99.7 dB(A) from the crusher and screen at a distance of 3.28 feet. The change in sound pressure, as measured in decibels (dB), with distance from the noise source can be calculated using the following equation: SPL = 20*log(I2/Il) Where SPL is the change in sound pressure level between two relative intensities (I2 and II). This equation can then be used to calculate the sound pressure level drop over distance from a known source. Utilizing this relationship, the calculated sound pressure level at I 00 feet from Cordilleran Compliance Services, Inc. ) ) the crusher and screen is calculated to be 70.0 dB(A) when the quarry is operational. Sound levels at the parcel boundary, located approximately 114 mile to the north, would be 47.6 dB(A) during daytime operations of the quarry. Sound levels will return to ambient noise levels during evening, night-time and early morning hours when the onsite equipment is shut down. The noise classification of "Light Industrial" has been accepted in the area along Garden Gulch Road in past county permitting. This classification allows maximum allowable noise levels up to 70 dB(A) during the hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and 65 dB(A) between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. The noise standards as outlined in the Colorado Statute 25-12-101 "Maximum Permissible Noise Levels" are attached. Based on the information provided above, it is reasonable to expect that the operation of the Circle Dot Quarry by Marathon Oil Company will not exceed the applicable Colorado noise standards. The remote location, the presence of other industrial activities in the area and the lack of permanent residential structures in the vicinity will ensure that the noise emanating from the proposed quarry will not adversely impact adjacent properties.

As used in this article, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) "Commercial zone" means: (a) An area where offices, clinics, and the facilities needed to serve them are located; (b) An area with local shopping and service establishments located within walking distances of the residents served; (c) A tourist-oriented area where hotels, motels, and gasoline stations are located; ( d) A large integrated regional shopping center; ( e) A business strip along a main street containing offices, retail businesses, and commercial enterprises; (f) A central business district; or (g) A commercially dominated area with multiple-unit dwellings. (2) "db(A)" means sound levels in decibels measured on the "A" scale of a standard sound level meter having characteristics defined by the American national standards institute, publication S !. 4 -1971. (3) "Decibel" is a unit used to express the magnitude of a change in sound level. The difference in decibels between two sound pressure levels is twenty times the common logarithm of their ratio. In sound pressure measurements sound levels are defined as twenty times the common logarithm of the ratio of that sound pressure level to a reference level of 2 x 10-5 N/m2 (Newton's/meter squared). As an example of the effect of the formula, a three-decibel change is a one hundred percent increase or decrease in the sound level, and a ten-decibel change is a one thousand percent increase or decrease in the sound level. (4) (a) "Industrial zone" means an area in which noise restrictions on industry are necessary to protect the value of adjacent properties for other economic activity but shall not include agricultural, horticultural, or floricultural operations. (b) Nothing in paragraph (a) of this subsection (4), as amended by House Bill 05- 1180, as enacted at the first regular session of the sixty-fifth general assembly, shall be construed as changing the property tax classification of property owned by a horticultural or floricultural operation. (5) "Light industrial and commercial zone" means: (a) An area containing clean and quiet research laboratories; (b) An area containing light industrial activities which are clean and quiet; ( c) An area containing warehousing; or ( d) An area in which other activities are conducted where the general environment is free from concentrated industrial activity.

The Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board recognized that the subdivision and land use application processing time will vary and that an applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which may require additional billing. Hourly rates based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of the respective positions combined with an hourly overhead cost for the office will be used to establish the actual cost of County staff time devoted to the review of a particular project. Actual staff time spent will be charged against the Base Fee. After the Base Fee has been expended, the applicant will be billed based on actual staff hours accrued. Any billing shall be paid in full prior to final consideration of any land use permit, zoning amendment or subdivision plan. If an applicant has previously failed to pay application fees as required, no new or additional applications will be accepted for processing until the outstanding fees are paid. Checks, including the appropriate Base Fee set forth below, must be submitted with each land use application, and made payable to the Garfield County Treasurer. Applications will not be accepted without the required application fee. Base Fees are non-refundable in full, unless a written request for withdraw from the applicant is submitted prior the initial review of the application materials. Applications must include an Agreement for Payment Form ("Agreement") set forth below. The Agreement establishes the applicant as being responsible for payment of all costs associated with processing the application. The Agreement must be signed by the party responsible for payment and submitted with the application in order for it to be accepted.

This SWMP addresses construction activities associated with development of the Circle Dot Construction Materials Quarry, owned and operated by Marathon Oil Company (Marathon). A copy of the associated storm water permit can be found in Appendix A. This SWMP was prepared to address storm water management practices at areas disturbed by construction activities associated with operation of the Circle Dot Quarry. This SWMP is intended to be revised as necessary to address planned developments, new disturbances, and other changes needed to manage storm water and protect surface water quality. 1.1 Storm Water Runoff Permitting Requirements The Federal Clean Water Act [Section 402(p)] requires that discharges of pollutants to waters of the U.S. from any point source be regulated by NPDES permits. In November 1990 the EPA published final regulations that established application requirements for storm water associated with construction activity for soil disturbances of 5 acres or more be regulated as an industrial activity and covered by an NPDES permit. In December 1999 the EPA published final Phase II NPDES regulations that established application requirements for storm water associated with construction activity for soil disturbances to be regulated as an industrial activity and covered by an NPDES permit. These regulations became effective July 1, 2002. On June 30, 2005, Colorado storm water regulations went into effect to require Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) permits for storm water discharges from construction activities for small (1 to 5 acre disturbance) oil and gas activities. Federal permit coverage for these discharges was conditionally exempted from the Federal Clean Water Act by the 2005 Federal Energy Bill. On February 1, 2006, the CDPHE issued a letter clarifying that the CDPHE Water Quality Control Commission decided to maintain the existing requirements for storm water permitting for oil and gas construction sites of 1 to 5 acres. 1.2 Project Description The Circle Dot Quarry will be located within the E/2 of Lot 23 and the W/2 of Lot 24 of Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 97 West of the 61h P.M. in Garfield County, Colorado. The town of Parachute, Colorado is the nearest population center. The Circle Dot Quarry will be located approximately 10 miles northwest of Parachute. The current local drilling and development plan includes pad construction, access road improvement/construction, Page 1 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company and installation of associated facilities. The Circle Dot Quarry is proposed to provide construction materials for these activities. 1.3 Project Owner and Operator Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) is the project operator, developer, and is actively conducting exploration and development of the natural gas resources. Their address is: Marathon Oil Company 743 Horizon Court, Suite 220 Grand Junction, Colorado 81506 Ph (970) 245-5233 The Marathon contact person for the project is Robert V. Coleman. Mr. Coleman can be contacted by phone at (970) 245-5233. Marathon will be in charge of all aspects of the property and this project. Contractor(s) will do the actual construction and drilling but all work will be supervised by Marathon and all decisions will be made by Marathon. Page 2 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company 2.0 CONSTRUCTION SITE DESCRIPTION The following sections describe the site locations and provide a description of the construction areas. Runoff characteristics of these areas are also described. 2.1 Site Location and Construction Area Description The location for this proposed construction materials mine is on property owned by Berry Petroleum Company and leased and operated by Marathon. The parcel comprises 334 total acres of land. The area of activity does not come into contact with any adjacent properties. The nearest adjacent property owner from this site is Y. of a mile away. The closest municipality is the town of Parachute, 10 miles southeast. The site is 9 miles up Garden Gulch Road off of County Road 215, and Y, mile up a private road in an area that is currently used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. The proposed quarry will utilize a small knoll comprised primarily of shale to produce construction material for their operations in the area. The total area of disturbance will not exceed 10.0 acres. The site will be designed to remove material from the private road access point and proceed in a north-westerly direction (see attached site plan). Initially, material will be excavated from the toe of the southern slope to create a flat working surface. As the working face progresses deeper into the hillside, terraces will be cut into the working face with a bulldozer. These terraces will allow material to be safely moved from the upper reaches of the working face, down to the loading area. The terraces will also aid in keeping a general 1: 1 contour on the working face to control erosion and storrnwater runoff. Topsoil will be removed as mining progresses and placed in a pile to the southwest of the site. The mining phase includes the following activities; rock mining, rock crushing, and product stockpiling. The mining will utilize heavy equipment such as bull dozers to extract material from the quarry. Loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, which will convey the material to stockpiles. Loaders will fill trucks for transport to construction sites in the area. The flat area cleared of material on the site will be used as a loading and staging area. This is where loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, crushed material will be stockpiled and where trucks hauling material from the site will be loaded. Reclamation and final stabilization will be conducted as described in Sections 4 and 7. Regional precipitation amounts vary from 11.59 inches per year in Rifle, Colorado to 14.8 inches in Colbran, Colorado (Western Regional Climate Center). Due to regional climate conditions, lack of surface water or near surface ground water and the mining plan designs, construction dewatering is not expected for the Circle Dot Quarry mining activities. Page 3 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company 2.2 Schedule of Coustructiou Activities Material removal operations in the quarry will begin when all necessary permits and plans are in place. For new disturbances, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be installed prior to, during, and immediately following construction activities as practicable with consideration given to safety, access, and ground conditions (e.g. frozen ground) at the time of construction. When the quarry's material resources are exhausted it will be abandoned. Upon abandonment all surface equipment will be removed and the remaining area will be reclaimed utilizing the following measures: contouring disturbed soils to conform to the surrounding terrain, replacing the stockpiled top soil, seeding of disturbed soil areas in order to reestablish cover vegetation, and construction of erosion and sediment control structures as needed. Once stabilization is achieved, defined as uniform vegetative cover established with a density of at least 70 percent of pre-disturbance levels, the quarry storm water permit will be inactivated. However, if petroleum hydrocarbons or other chemicals impact storm water as a result of industrial activities onsite, the site will maintain permit coverage and ensure SPCC plan BMPs are maintained. 2.3 Runoff Characteristics Runoff characteristics are based on site topography, soil type, and soil/vegetative cover. The major soil type in this permitted area is loam. The slopes range from 5% to 30%. Native vegetation land cover types include needlegrass, elk sedge and sagebrush. Permeability is moderate, surface runoff is slow to moderate and the erosion hazard is low to moderate. Storm water runoff receiving waters include unnamed tributaries of Circle Dot Gulch, Sheep Kill Gulch, Red Gulch, West Fork and Parachute Creek. The ultimate receiving water is the Colorado River. Page 4 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company 3.0 POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES Potential pollution sources associated with construction sites include: Sediment resulting from erosion of soil stockpiles and other areas cleared of vegetation; Sediment discharges from vehicle tracking; Leakage of fuels and lubricants from equipment and spills from fueling and; Trash and debris from clearing activities, construction materials, and workers The most common source of pollution from construction is sediment, which can be carried away from the work site with storm water runoff and impact the water quality of a receiving stream. Clearing, grading, and otherwise altering previously undisturbed land can increase the rate of soil erosion over pre-disturbance rates. Petroleum products can also be potential storm water pollutants. These products are used in construction activities to power or lubricate equipment and include: fuel, gear oil, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and grease. Debris from laydown areas, residue from equipment cleaning and maintenance, and solid waste generated from land clearing operations and human activity (trees, brush, paper, trash, etc.) present other potential pollution sources within the construction site. Magnesium chloride solution or other chemical dust suppressants may be applied during the summer to unpaved roads to order to reduce fugitive dust generation. Magnesium chloride solution is used in the winter for roadway deicing and in the summer for dust suppression by county and state government entities. The solution is typically delivered to the site by contractors in DOT approved tanker trailers and generally is quickly applied to the road surface. Occasionally, depending on work site conditions, the tanker trailers may be staged along the road until ready for application (typically no longer than overnight). Spills or leaks from potential sources will be described in the field-wide SPCC plan when an development of the Piceance Field iSPCC plan is required. The SPCC plan will be available in the field and will be located with the SWMP. Response to certain events may require specialized training due to health and safety concerns. Page 5 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company 4.0 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL MEASURES The following sections provide a description of BMPs, including physical structures employed to prevent soil erosion; work practices and managerial controls used to prevent storm water impacts; and fuels, chemicals, and materials handling practices. The use of a combination of physical BMPs, good work practices, and storing fuels, chemicals, and materials in covered and isolated areas will prevent storm water impacts. 4.1 Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls The objective of erosion and sediment controls is to minimize the release of sediments to storm water runoff. This can be accomplished through the use of structural and/or nonstructural controls. This section describes physical erosion and sediment controls to be used at active construction sites to minimize possible sediment impacts to storm water runoff. For BMP installation details refer to Appendix C and selection guidelines are listed in Figure 2. Berms A berm is a ridge of compacted soil located at the top or base of a sloping disturbed area to contain or divert surface runoff. Where used, soil berms shall be constructed of soil with sufficient fines to minimize flow through the berm. The purpose of a berm is to control runoff velocity, divert onsite surface runoff to a sediment trapping or filtration device and/or divert clean water away from disturbed areas. Check Dams Check dams are small, temporary dams constructed across a diversion or roadside ditch. Check dams can be constructed using gravel, rock, gravel bags, geo-ridges, earth with erosion control blanketing, straw bales, or wattles and are used to slow the velocity of concentrated flow in a channel. As a secondary function, check dams can also be used to catch sediment from the channel itself or from the contributing drainage area as storm water runoff flows through or over the structure. Culverts Culverts are typically used to move ditch water under the road or to direct stream flow under the access road. Culverts are typically constructed out of concrete, steel, aluminum, or plastic pipe. Where used, culverts should have inlet and outlet protection features to minimize erosion such as placing a non-woven textile material under rip rap at each end of the culvert. Diversion Permanent diversion berms and structures control storm water runoff by using a channel and an earthen ridge to prevent sediment laden storm runoff from leaving the construction site or other disturbed area to prevent flows from eroding slopes and to Page 6 Circle Dot Quarry S WMP Marathon Oil Company direct sediment laden flows to a trapping device. Diversions are most often constructed of earthen materials with vegetative cover and are best used with channel linings such as vegetation or matting. Diversions are typically used wherever the direction and velocity of runoff from up slope areas need to be controlled. A good example would be diverting upgradient surface runoff away from a construction site. Channels and berms must be designed to manage peak storm flow and must be stabilized to prevent erosion of the channels. Drainage Dip Drainage dips intercept and remove surface water from access roads, construction pads, and roadside ditches (before the combination of water volume and velocity begin to erode.) Drainage dips are constructed diagonally across the flow of the surface water and will pass slow traffic while dispersing surface water. Erosion Control Blanket Erosion control blankets and turf reinforcement mats (TRM) are porous fabrics that are manufactured by weaving or bonding fibers made from organic or synthetic materials. Erosion control blankets are installed on steep slopes, over berms, or in channels to prevent erosion until final vegetation is established. The erosion control blankets can also be used as separators or to aid in plant growth. Filter Berm A filter berm is temporary ridge made up of natural materials that already occur on the project site. Brush filter berms use small tree branches, root mats, grass, leaves, stone or other debris or material naturally available or left over from the site clearing and grubbing. Rock filter berms use site gravel, stone, or rock. Both types of filter berms are placed along a level contour to slow, filter, and divert flow and act as an efficient form of sediment control. Georidge® GeoRidge® is a permeable ditch berm designed for erosion and sediment control. The use of GeoRidge® reduces flow velocities and provides a smoother water flow resulting in less erosional energy, and thus minimizing the problem of downstream sediment. Gravel Surfacing Gravel surfacing may be used to cover soil in areas of high traffic, including roads and facility areas. Gravel surfacing forms a layer that protects and minimizes soil erosion and vehicle soil tracking. Land Grading Grading involves reshaping the ground surface to planned grades as determined by an engineering survey, evaluation, and layout. Grading provides more suitable topography for facilities and access roads and helps to control surface runoff, soil erosion, and Page 7 Circle Dot Quany SWMP Marathon Oil Company sedimentation during and after construction in these areas. Grading also includes road crowing and sloping to properly route runoff off the access roads. Level Spreader A level spreader is a BMP used to prevent erosion and to improve infiltration by spreading concentrated storm water runoff evenly over the ground as shallow sheet flow instead of through channels. It usually involves a depression in the soil surface that disperses flow onto a flatter area across a slight slope and then releases the flow onto level vegetated areas. This reduces flow speed and increases infiltration and promotes evaporation. Mulching Mulching is a temporary erosion control practice in which materials such as grass, straw, hay, wood fibers or wood chips are placed on exposed or recently planted soil surfaces. Mulching stabilizes soils by minimizing rainfall impact and reducing storm water runoff velocity. When mulching is used in combination with seeding, surface soils retain moisture, promote seed germination and help insulate roots from extremes temperatures. Retaining Wall Retaining walls are structures that are used to stabilize and hold soil in place, gain space on roadways, or to keep soil contained within a site boundary. This BMP can be constructed with rock, boulders, and/or cement blocks. Revegetation Revegetation involves planting seed to establish a vegetative cover on disturbed areas. Revegetation reduces erosion and sedimentation by stabilizing disturbed areas in a manner that is economical and adaptable to site conditions. It also reduces runoff volumes by increasing water percolation into the soil, binds soil with roots, and protects soil from wind erosion. The permanent seed mix, rate, application method, and supplemental materials will be selected by the revegetation contractor or the BLM representative for Federal sites. Riprap Riprap is a permanent, erosion-resistant layer made of stones, rock, or boulders. It is intended to stabilize areas subject to erosion and protect against scour of the soil caused by concentrated, high velocity flows. Roadside Ditches and Turnouts Roadside ditches are channels constructed parallel to roads. The ditches convey concentrated runoff of surface water from roads and surrounding areas to a stabilized outlet. Turnouts are used to effectively remove run-off water from the roadside ditch into well-stabilized areas before it reaches a waterway. Page 8 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company Sediment Trap Sediment traps are intended to intercept, trap, and retain sediment from runoff while allowing detained runoff to slowly drain, infiltrate, or both. They are usually installed in a drainage way or other point of discharge from a disturbed area. This BMP is formed by excavating below grade and/or constructing an earthen embankment with a protected spillway to slow the release of runoff. Silt Fence Silt fences are used as temporary perimeter control structure that is designed to slow, temporary impound, and filter sediment laden water. Installation techniques and maintenance is critical to proper performance. Slope Drain Slope drains are used with earth dikes and drainage ditches to intercept and direct surface flow away from slope areas to protect cut or fill slopes. A slope drain is applicable for any construction site where concentrated surface runoff can accumulate and must be conveyed down a slope in order to prevent erosion. The slope drain may be a rigid pipe such as corrugated metal, flexible conduit or a lined terrace drain with the inlet placed at the top of the slope and the outlet at the bottom of the slope. Inlets must be securely anchored and outlets must be stabilized with riprap. Stabilized Construction Entrance A stabilized construction entrance is a pad of gravel laid over filter cloth where construction traffic will be entering or leaving a construction site to or from a public right-of-way, street or highway. This is also referred to as vehicle tracking control. The purpose of a stabilized entrance to a site is to minimize the amount of traced mud and dust that leaves the site and tracked onto county roads or state highways. As a vehicle drives over the gravel, mud and sediment are removed from the vehicle's wheels and offsite transport of soil is reduced. This BMP reduces erosion, tire rutting and the filter fabric separates the gravel from the soil below by minimizing the migration gravel into subsurface soil from heavy vehicle loads. A stabilized construction entrance should be used at facility ingress and egress locations. Straw Bale Barrier A straw bale barrier is a series of entrenched and staked straw bales placed on a level contour to intercept sheet flows. The barrier reduces runoff velocity and filters sediment laden runoff from small drainage areas of disturbed soil. This BMP may also be used to protect against erosion in small shallow drainage channels. Straw Wattles Straw wattles or rolls are intended to capture and keep sediment on slopes or in small shallow drainage channels. Straw rolls can be used to temporarily stabilize slopes by Page 9 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company reducing soil creep, sheet and rill erosion until permanent vegetation can be established. Straw rolls will last an average of one to two years. Surface Roughening Soil surface roughening is a temporary erosion control practice often used in conjunction with grading. Soil roughening involves increasing the relief of a bare soil surface with horizontal grooves (corrugating) or tracks (tracking) using construction equipment. Slopes that are not fine graded and that are left in a roughened condition can reduce erosion, trap sediment, and prepare ground surfaces for seeding. Terracing Terraces are made of either earthen embankments or ridge and channel systems that are properly spaced along a fill slope. Terraces are constructed with an adequate grade to promote drainage to a stabilized outlet. They reduce damage from erosion by collecting and redistributing surface runoff to stable outlets at slower speeds and by decreasing the distance of overland runoff flow. They also surpass smooth slopes in holding moisture and help to minimize sediment loading of surface runoff. Vegetative Buffer Vegetative buffers are areas of either natural or established vegetation that are maintained to protect the water quality of neighboring areas. Vegetative buffers reduce storm water runoff velocity, prevent soil erosion, promote infiltration and act as a filter to remove sediment. Water Bar A water bar is an earthen ridge, or ridge and channel, constructed diagonally across a slope road, trail, or disturbed area. Water bars are normally used for drainage and erosion protection of closed, blocked, or infrequently used roads to divert storm water runoff and minimize erosion. 4.2 Storm Water Management Controls Structural BMPs will be installed, inspected, and maintained as needed. This SWMP will be revised as necessary to address new disturbances, construction or operation. Depending on the type and location of new facilities there may be a need for inclusion of new and different BMPs. In general, new development should be planned with consideration for storm water quality (e.g. minimize disturbed area and maximize distance from surface water drainages, as practicable). Other developments on the property, primarily existing and/or improved roads, not currently or specifically addressed in the SWMP will be periodically checked for erosion and drainage problems. This is especially important for access roads located within l 00 feet of surface drainages or creeks. If problems are noted, they should be reported to the Production Superintendent and/or SWMP administrator. Problem areas may be addressed Page 10 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company through construction activities, but will likely need to be addressed through BMPs which will be added to the plan as needed. 4.3 Other Controls Waste Management and Disposal Construction and operational activities at the quarry will generate various other wastes during the course of construction. Other wastes may include the following: Sagebrush, shrubs and trees from clearing operations; Trash and debris from construction materials and workers; and Sanitary sewage. Each of these wastes will be managed so as to not contribute to storm water pollution. Construction trash and debris will be collected in containers and hauled off-site for disposal in suitable landfills. Sanitary waste will be containerized in portable toilets or other storage tanks with waste materials regularly pumped and transported off-site for disposal at approved facilities. Fuels and Materials Management Petroleum products which may be present at the construction site include: gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricant oils, hydraulic oils, used oils, and solvents. Gasoline and diesel fuel will be stored in portable storage tanks with secondary containment. Lubricant, hydraulic, and miscellaneous oils and solvents will be stored in 55-gallon or smaller containers. Pollutants from petroleum products used during construction activities adhere easily to soil particles and other surfaces. In case of a spill or leak, soils contaminated with petroleum products will be contained and removed to a proper disposal site. Proposed soil erosion and sediment control practices will aid in retention of spills or leaks. Use of secondary containment and drip pans will reduce the likelihood of spills or leaks contacting the ground. Proposed maintenance and safe storage practices will reduce the chance of petroleum products contaminating the road site. Oily wastes such as crankcase oil, cans, rags, and paper containing oils will be placed in proper receptacles and disposed of or recycled. An additional source of petroleum contamination is leaks from equipment and vehicles. Routine daily inspections will be conducted to identify leaks and initiate corrective actions, if needed. The following guidelines for storing and managing petroleum products will be used: All product containers will be clearly labeled. Drums will be kept off the ground within secondary containment and stored under cover if needed. Fuel tanks will be stored within secondary containment. Lids of drummed materials will be securely fastened. Emergency spill response procedures will be available on-site. Persons trained in handling spills will be on call at all times. Page 11 Circle Dot Quany SWMP Marathon Oil Company Spill clean up and containment materials (absorbent, shovels, etc.) will be easily accessible. Spills will be immediately cleaned up and contaminated materials will be properly stored on site until they can be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Storage areas and containers will be regularly monitored for leaks and repaired or replaced as necessary. Contractors and subcontractors should be reminded about proper storage, handling and transferring of petroleum products or other hazardous materials during safety meetings. Spills or releases of any size that impact or threaten to impact any waters of the state, residence or occupied structure, livestock or public byway, shall be verbally reported to the COGCC as soon as practical after discovery (COGCC Rule 906). If the spill may reach waters of the state (which includes surface water, ground water and dry gullies or storm sewers leading to surface water), it must also be reported immediately to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) at 1-877-518-5608. Spills or releases of more than 25 gallons of refined petroleum crude oil products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, or derivatives of mineral, animal or vegetable oil shall be reported to the state of Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety at (303) 318-8547 within 24 hours. A hazardous substance release in any amount which enters or threatens to enter waters of the state shall be reported to Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE). Other Chemicals Products Management Additional materials will be used and stored on site for use in construction. These materials will be stored appropriately and managed to minimize spills and leaks. Storage areas will be regularly inspected and any minor spills or leaks will be cleaned up immediately. Materials Management The construction contractor will maintain a laydown or staging area for equipment and materials storage on site. These areas will be maintained with good housekeeping and will be inspected on a regular basis for spills, leaks, and potential of materials commingling with storm water runoff. 4.4 Construction Site Housekeeping Housekeeping will consist of neat and orderly storage of materials and containerized fluids. Wastes will be temporarily stored in sealed containers and regularly collected and disposed of at off-site, suitable facilities. If spills occur, prompt cleanup is required to minimize any co-mingling of waste materials with storm water runoff. Routine maintenance will be limited to fueling and lubrication of equipment. Drip pans will be used during routine fueling and maintenance to contain spills or leaks as needed. Page 12 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company Any waste product from maintenance will be containerized and transported off site for disposal or recycling. There will be no major equipment overhauls conducted on site. Equipment will be transported off site for major overhauls. Cleanup of trash and discarded materials will be conducted at the end of each work day. Cleanup will consist of patrolling the road way, access areas, and other work areas to pickup trash, scrap debris, other discarded materials, and any contaminated soil. These materials will be disposed of appropriately. Page 13 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES To meet requirements of Storm Water General Permit No. COR-039527, inspection and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must occur during the construction project. Continued inspection and maintenance is required for specific structures after construction is completed. A complete list of active inspection locations, site diagrams and site specific storm water BMPs are provided in the inspection report book kept with the SWMP. The inspection program will include the following: l. A trained and qualified person familiar with the SWMP and storm water controls will conduct facility inspections and complete the Storm Water Field Inspection Report form in Appendix D. A trained and qualified person will have completed Storm Water Pollution Prevention training and includes signing the training session form in Appendix D. 2. Inspections will cover these areas: Evidence of surface erosion for disturbed areas; Material and chemical storage areas; Straw bales, wattles, riprap areas, culverts and sediment traps; Surface water diversions and downgradient areas; New access roads and ditches; and Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site. 3. Inspections will occur at least once every 14 calendar days and after a 0.5-inch precipitation event or snowmelt events that cause surface erosion. 4. Permanently stabilized areas will be inspected at least once per month. 5. A log of inspections will be completed and maintained in Marathon's Grand Junction, Colorado office for a minimum of three years. 6. Inspections are not required for disturbed areas when snow cover exists over the entire site for an extended period as long as melting conditions do not exist. 7. Water quality will be visually assessed for all receiving streams and discharge areas during each inspection if present. 8. Disturbed areas and material storage areas that are exposed to precipitation will be inspected for evidence of pollutants entering nearby drainages. 9. Check dams, wattles, and other BMPs will be inspected for evidence of deterioration, under-cutting, and build up of sediment. Sediment will be removed when it has built up one-third to one-half the height of the hay bales or wattles. Page 14 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company I 0. Roads used for vehicle access will be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment transport. 11. The SWMP will be modified as necessary whenever there is a change in design, construction or operation that changes the potential for pollutant discharge to waters of the state. 12. An inspection report summarizing the scope of the inspection, the name of the person conducting the inspection, date of inspection, and observations relating to the implementation will be prepared. An inspection report is provided in AppendixD. 13. Actions taken to modify storm water control measures will be recorded and maintained with the SWMP. 14. If no deficiencies are found during the inspection, the report contains a certification statement that the site is in compliance with the SWMP and the General Permit. Personnel performing facility inspections will record site conditions on the Storm Water Field Inspection Report form in Appendix D. Immediately when deficiencies are discovered, the Marathon Storm Water Administrator will be contacted and will direct designated subcontractors to perform BMP maintenance or replacement. Maintenance will include prompt adjustments and repairs to erosion and sediment control structures that are found to be performing inadequately or deteriorating. Signs of rill or gully surface erosion shall be immediately repaired. The Marathon Storm Water Administrator has the authority and will direct subcontractors to install new and or additional storm water control BMPs as needed. Page 15 Circle Dot Quany SWMP Marathon Oil Company 6.0 NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES Non-storm water discharges are not expected from the construction projects. Possible exceptions include fire prevention/suppression or dust control activities. Page 16 Circle Dot Quany SWMP Marathon Oil Company 7.0 FINAL STABILIZATION Areas which have been disturbed are considered to be stabilized when a uniform vegetative cover with a density of 70 percent of the pre-disturbance levels has been established or when an equivalent permanent, physical erosion reduction method is in-place. The disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched for final stabilization. Table 1 contains the seed mixture for the Circle Dot Quarry. Typical Pure Live Seed (PLS) application rates are recommended to be doubled if seeding is performed by hydroseed or broadcasting. Areas not used for facilities, access roads, materials storage yards, or other work areas will be stabilized with vegetation. Areas that are stabilized with vegetation will be considered to have achieved final stabilization when a uniform stand of vegetation with a density of at least 70 percent of the pre-disturbance has been established. Sprayed-on mulches and other slope stabilization materials may be used in combination with seeding techniques in select areas to promote and establish surface vegetation cover. Other areas which may include facilities, access roads, materials storage yards, and other work areas will be stabilized with the use of permanent, physical erosion reduction methods which include, but are not limited to: 1. Surface hardening -covering of the soil surface with hardened products such as concrete or asphalt pavement. 2. Surface covering -covering of the surface soil with structure that inhibits contact of precipitation with the soil surface which is generally considered to be placement of a structure (building or tank) over the soil surface. 3. Gravel surfacing -gravel surfacing will be applied in areas such as access roads, materials storage yards, and other work surfaces. Some gravel may be lost due to erosion from intense precipitation events or due to vehicle traffic. Gravel surfaces will be periodically inspected to determine the need for gravel replacement. Gravel surfaces will be replaced or repaired (through grading) when inspection reveals that the gravel surface is no longer effectively covering the soil surface. Page 17 Circle Dot Quarry SWMP Marathon Oil Company 8.0 CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER PLANS This SWMP has been written and revised without the preparation of a separate SPCC plan specific to construction activities. In addition, the final condition and operational activities associated with the Circle Dot Quarry are not anticipated to require an SPCC plan that complies with §112.7 of the Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation (40 CFR §112) issued under section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. 9.0 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FACILITIES SUBJECT TO SARA TITLE III, SECTION 313 REQUIREMENTS The Circle Dot Quarry is not subject to SARA Title III, Section 313 requirements because there have been no releases of reportable quantities of hazardous materials to land or water from this facility.

DISTURBANCE OF DRAINAGES A primary goal of facility siting should be avoidance of drainages. If avoidance is not possible then mitigation should be conducted and pennitting may be required. If the drainage is not jurisdictionel (regulated by the Army Corps ofEngineers, ACE) then mitigation should be conducted but an ACE permit will not be required). If the drainage is jurisdictional then both a permit and mitigation will be required. If the disturbance is due to construction of an access road or pipeline, then a nationwide · drainage crossing pennit is likely to issued by the ACE within 1 to 2 months. The permit will have requirements on the drainage crossing intended to protect Waters of the U.S. If the disturbance is due to construction of a well pad or other facility site then serious consideration should be given to relocating the planned site. The ACE will require an individuel Permit which will take approximately 12 months to acquire, The Individual Pennit will require archeological surveys, Threatened and Endangered (T&E) Species Surveys, and solicitation of comments from the public.

M:\n1in\share\~srorrns\Constructionl 10 (Approved 05/1112005) Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Pollution Control Division Air Quality Requirements for Surface Mining Operations If you own or operate a surface mining operation, including a sand and gravel pit, borrow pit, or quarry, you may need to report air emissions to, or obtain an air permit from, the Air Pollutlon Control Division (APCD) at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). This document provides an overview of the air pollution reporting and permitting requirements that apply to Colorado surface mining operations. What Must Be Reported? The APCD regulates air pollutants released from surface mining operations and from the equipment used at mining sites. Surface mining activities and mining equipment (such as crushers and screens) release fugitive dust that can be carried from the site by the wind. In addition, many surface mining operations use generators fueled with natural gas, oil, propane, or diesel that release byproducts of combustion such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO, -If sulfur Is present In the fuel). Emissions of fugitive dust and fuel combustion Iha! exceed certain thresholds must be reported to the APCO through the submission of an Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN). Almost all surface mining operations and associated equipment require the filing of an APEN. The APEN forms are available through the APCD and downloadable at: www.cdphe.state.qo.us/ap/downloadforms.a!!.Q » Reporting Emissions for Surface Mining Sites The APEN form tiHed Mining Operations -APEN and Application for Construct/on Permit and Fugitive Part/cu/ate Emissions Control Plan Is used to report emissions from the mining site. This form requests Information on the location and ownership of the site and detailed Information on the nature of site emissions, production, and associated equipment. The APEN also requests information on the site-specific Fugitive Dust Control Plan. Air Quality Requirements for Surface Mining Operations > Reporting Emissions for Process Equipment The General APEN form is used to report air emissions from process equipment such as generators, crushers, screen decks, and conveyor syslems. This form requires information about the equipment such as the type of equipment, make, model, and serial number, hours of operation, and quantity of material processed through the equipment. This form also requires Information regarding whether the process equipment Is portable or stationary: • Portable equipment can be moved from site to site; however, a "Notice of Relocation" must be submitted to the Division at least 10 days prior to relocation of permitted equipment. At your home base, maintain an up-to-date list of your equipment locations. • To be considered "stationary" or "fixed," equipment must remain et the locatlon indicated on the APEN for at least two years. If you decide to move permuted stationary equipment, you must submit an APEN to modify the permit for that equipment to a portable source prior to the move. Each individual piece of process equipment Is typically reported on a separate General APEN form. However, multiple pieces of equipment may be grouped and reported on a single General APEN form If the equipment wlll always remain together (I.e., pieces of equipment can not be added or removed from the group). For example, if a portable group of equipment Is moved to a new sile, each piece of equipment In that group must move to the new site; no piece of equipment can be left behind. Grouping equipment onto a single General APEN can help you avoid extra APEN filing fees. What Must Be Permitted? Based on the lnfOrmetion provided on the APEN, the APCD will determine whether an air permit Is required for your surface mining operation and/or equipment. As a rule of thumb: • Surface mining operations that mine over 70,000 tons of product material per year (I.e., raw material removal or processing for sale, which could Include top soil, overburden, and raw material) almost always require an air permit. Surface mining activities that mine less then 70,000 tons of product material per year are specifically exempt from permitting requirements (although they still require anAPEN). May2006 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Pollutlon Control Division • Surface mining equipment almost always requires an air permit. When a permit Is required, the APEN will become part of the permit appllcatlon package. l> The Permit Process: In Colorado, Construction Permits are Issued in two phases: Initial Approval and Final Approval. • An Initial Approval (IA) Permit allows the plant or process equipment to be constructed and begin operation. Whan an air permit is required, It is illegal to commence operation of the plant or process equipment until an IA Permit is Issued by the APCD. Some exceptions fOr crushers and screens are provided under House Bill 1326. • A Final Approval (FA) permit Is issued after the owner certifies that the permitted operation is In compliance with Iha conditions of the Initial Approval Permit. A permit describes key areas that an operator.needs to address to comply with Colorado air regulations. The permit defines the type of air pollution control measures to be used, limits the annual production at Iha site, provides guidelines for opacity (how dense the visible emissions are allowed to be), and Includes recordkeaplng requirements. > Obtaining a Final Approval Permit In order to receive a Final Approval Permit for your surface mining site or equipment, you must certify compllance with your lnlUal Approval Permit. This self- certiflcatlon process must be completed within 180 days (six months) of being issued an Initial Approval Permit. After 180 days, the APCD must finalize the permit or determine to continue or revoke the permit. Certifying compliance with the IA permtt for a surface mining site typically involves submitting a Final Approval Self Certification Form. This form is available through the APCD and downloadable at: www.¢phe.state.eo.us/apldownloadforrns.asp Cerlifying compliance with the IA permit for process equipment typically involves submitting a Final Approval Self Cerllficatlon Form and the required opacity lest results (I.e., either a 6-minute opacity reading or a 1-3 hour opacity reading may be required depending on the type and design rate of the equipment). The APCD can assist you In determining the opacity readings required for your equipment. Air Quality Requirements for Surface Mining Operations > House 81111326 -Flexibility for Crushers · and Screens Owners or operators of surface mining operallons are typically required lo obtain an IA permit for process equipment prior to operating the equipment at the site. However, Colorado House Biil 1326 provides soma flexibility for reporting and permitting crushers and screens. Under House Bill 1326, the owner or operator of a permitted sand and gravel pit or crushed stone quarry may bring a new crusher or screen (and the engines that are integral to those crushers and screens) onsite and begin operation of this equipment by submitting an APEN to the APCD. Submission of an APEN will allow the source lo operate the equipment until such time as the APCD Is able to process and issue an IA Permit, or for temporary or rented equipment, untll the equipment Is removed from the site. You must notify the APCD (by adding a note to the APEN form) that you are submitting an APEN under the provisions of House Bill 1326. In cases where you Intend to retain ownership of the equipment for the foreseeable fulure, you must request in writing that the APCD proceed with the permitting process.

This Plan addresses activities associated with development of the quarry. 1.1 Mining and Reclamation Permitting Requirements The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, Section 34-32.5-101) requires that construction material extraction operators comply with the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials. The Mineral Rules and Regulations were promulgated in October, 1995, and most recently amended in August 2006, establishing application requirements for mining activities affecting 10 acres or less as a Limited Impact Operation. 1.2 Project Description and Background The Circle Dot Gulch area is in a natural gas field located northwest of the town of Parachute, Colorado, in Garfield County. The Circle Dot Gulch Quarry will be located in the east half of Lot 23 and the west half of Lot 24, Section I, Township 6 South, Range 97 West (see Exhibit A). The area is privately owned and zoned as Resource Lands (RL) and leased by Marathon Oil Company (Marathon). Marathon is the project operator, developer, and is actively conducting exploration and development of the natural gas resource. The current drilling and development plan include pad construction, access road improvement/construction, and installation of associated facilities. The Circle Dot Quarry is proposed to provide construction materials for these activities. 1.3 Project Owner and Operator Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) is the project operator, developer, and is actively conducting exploration and development of the natural gas resources.

The Piceance Area will be located in the east half of Lot 23 and the west half of Lot 24, Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 97 West (see Exhibit A). The total area of the project site is about 10 acres. The total area of disturbance is currently estimated at 9 .11 acres. The quarry will be constructed using conventional cut and fill earthmoving techniques. In areas that are disturbed by construction, topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled near the site. Soil materials will be managed so that erosion and sediment transport are minimized. Nearby drainages will be protected by appropriate measures. The quarry floor will be graded to drain the surrounding areas away from the stockpiles and work areas. 2.2 Schedule of Construction Activities Soil stripping and mining activities for will begin as soon as permits and permitting requirements are in place. The development of construction materials quarries is generally accomplished in three distinct work phases. The first phase is the top soil stripping and stockpiling, the second phase is the mining and rock crushing, and the third phase is the Abandonment and Reclamation. Each work phase is briefly discussed below. 4 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Top Soil Stripping and Stockpiling The stripping phase includes the following activities; topsoil stripping, topsoil stockpiling, storrnwater management installation, and erosion protection installation. Stripped soils will be placed in a stock pile along the relatively flat ridge top adjacent to the quarry to the southwest. Sediment control apparatus will be installed around the perimeter of the stockpile to prevent fugitive sedimentation. Erosion control measures will be installed around the perimeter of the quarry site as needed to prevent erosion of any soils which may be exposed during stripping operations. Mining and Rock Crushing The mining phase includes the following activities; rock mining, rock crushing, and product stockpiling. The mining will utilize heavy equipment such as bull dozers to extract material from the quarry. Loaders will feed the material into the rock crusher, which will convey the material to stockpiles. Loaders will fill trucks for transport to construction sites in the area. Abandonment and Final Reclamation When the mining operation is completed, the site will be abandoned. The quarry area will be reclaimed by replacing the stockpiled top soil, and seeding of disturbed soil areas in order to reestablish cover vegetation, and by maintenence of erosion and sediment control structures as needed. 2.3 Runoff Characteristics Runoff characteristics are based on site topography, soil type, and soil/vegetative cover. The surface elevation of the Circle Dot Quarry Area ranges from approximately 8230 ft. to 8250 ft. According to the USGS, the soil in the area consists of the Northwater-Adel complex, Parachute-Irigul-Rhone association, and Parachute-Rhone loams. Slopes vary from 5-50 percent in the area. Runoff characteristics of the soils in the area are medium to rapid, and the erosion potential is moderate to very severe. Depth to bedrock varies from 36 inches to more than 180 inches. Soils vary from shallow to deep, and most are well-drained. Permeability for all soils is moderate. 5 Circle Dot Gulch Quany Marathon Oil Company Soil Soll Unit Slope Erosion Bedrock Map Ecological Site Permeability Runoff Depth Unit Name (%) Potential (in) Northwater-Quaking Aspen, Severe to 52 Adel 5-50 Engelmann's Moderate Medium very 60+ complex Spruce/Subalpine or rapid severe Fir Paruchute-Brushy Loam and Very 56 lrigul-Rhone 25-50 Moderate Rapid 13-55 association Loamy Slopes severe Parachute-Medium Moderate 59 Rhone 5-30 Moderate or rapid to high 50 loams Possible receiving waters include Circle Dot Gulch, Sheep Kill Gulch, Red Gulch, West Fork, Parachute Creek and the ultimate receiving water is the Colorado River. 2.4 Existing Vegetation Vegetation species in the Piceance Area vary significantly due to the wide elevation range for the area. The USGS reports that vegetation in the Piceance Area consists of mainly quaking aspen, shrubs and grasses. Tree species include Quaking Aspen, Engelmann's Spruce and Subalpine Fir. Shrub and grass species consist of elk sedge, grouse whortleberry, hearleaf arnica, silvery lupine, mountain big sagebrush, rabbit brush, slender wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, nodding brome, Columbia needlegrass, mountain snowberry, blue wildrye, and Arizona fescue. On-site vegetation features big sagebrush, oak brush, serviceberry, snowberry, needlegrasses, and lupine. 3.0 POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES Potential pollution sources associated with construction materials mining include: • Sediment resulting from erosion of soil stockpiles and other areas cleared of vegetation; • Leakage of fuels and lubricants from equipment and spills from fueling; • Trash and debris from clearing activities, construction materials, and workers; • Magnesium chloride or other dust suppressants. • Noxious weeds. 6 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company The most common source of pollution from drilling sites is sediment, which can be carried away from the work site with storm water runoff and impact the water quality of a receiving stream. Clearing, grading, and otherwise altering previously undisturbed land can increase the rate of soil erosion over pre-disturbance rates. Petroleum products can also be potential storm water pollutants. These products are used in construction and drilling activities to power or lubricate equipment and include: fuel, gear oil, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and grease. Debris from lay down areas, residue from equipment cleaning and maintenance, and solid waste generated from land clearing operations and human activity (trees, brush, paper, trash, etc.) present other potential pollution sources within the construction site. Other materials on-site may include compressed gasses used in welding and chemicals used and stored on-site for use in drilling and well completion. Magnesium chloride solution or other chemical dust suppressants may be applied during the summer to unpaved roads to order to reduce fugitive dust generation. Magnesium chloride solution is used in the winter for roadway deicing and in the summer for dust suppression by county and state government entities. The solution is typically delivered to the site by contractors in DOT approved tanker trailers and generally is quickly applied to the road surface. Occasionally, depending on work site conditions, the tanker trailers may be staged along the road until ready for application (typically no longer than overnight). Noxious weeds often crop up in recently disturbed areas due to seeds and spores being transported to the site, taking advantage of the lack of competition from native species. Care should be exercised to avoid transport of weed seed contamination, and cleared areas should be reseeded as soon after disturbance as possible. The Noxious Weed Management Plan for Marathon Oil Company, Garfield County, Colorado should be consulted for details in weed management methods. 4.0 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL MEASURES 4.1 Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls The objective of erosion and sediment controls is to minimize the release of sediments to storm water runoff. This can be accomplished through the use of structural and/or nonstructural controls. This section describes erosion and sediment controls to be used at active construction sites to minimize possible sediment impacts to storm water runoff. 7 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Berm A berm is a ridge of compacted soil located at the top or base of a sloping disturbed area to contain or divert surface runoff. Where used, soil berms shall be constructed of soil with sufficient fines to minimize flow through the berm. The purpose of a berm is to control runoff velocity, divert onsite surface runoff to a sediment trapping or filtration device and/or divert clean water away from disturbed areas. Check Dams Check darns are small, temporary darns constructed across a diversion or roadside ditch. Check darns can be constructed using gravel, rock, gravel bags, geo-ridges, earth with erosion control blanketing, straw bales, or wattles and are used to slow the velocity of concentrated flow in a channel. As a secondary function, check darns can also be used to catch sediment from the channel itself or from the contributing drainage area as storm water runoff flows through or over the structure. Culverts Culverts are typically used to move ditch water under the road or to direct stream flow under the access road. Culverts are typically constructed out of concrete, steel, aluminum, or plastic pipe. Where used, culverts will have inlet and outlet protection features. Diversion A diversion is used to prevent sediment laden storm runoff from leaving the construction site or disturbed area, to prevent flows from eroding slops, and to direct sediment laden flows to a trapping device. A diversion can also be used to divert surface runoff from upgradient areas away from the pad. Drainage Dip Drainage dips intercept and remove surface water from the access roads, pads, facilities, pipelines, and roadside ditches (before the combination of water volume and velocity begin to erode.) Drainage dips are constructed diagonally across the flow of the surface water and will pass slow traffic while dispersing surface water. Erosion Control Blanket Erosion control blankets, also called turf reinforcement mats (TRM), are porous fabrics and are manufactured by weaving or bonding fibers made from organic or synthetic materials. Erosion control blankets are installed on steep slopes, over berms, or in channels to prevent erosion until final vegetation is established. The erosion control blankets can also be used as separators or to aid in plant growth. 8 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Filter Berm A filter berm is temporary ridge made up of natural materials that already occur on the project site. Brush filter berms use small tree branches, root mats, grass, leaves, stone or other debris or material naturally available or left over from the site clearing and grubbing. Rock filter berms use site gravel, stone, or rock. Both types of filter berms are placed along a level contour to slow, filter, and divert flow and act as an efficient form of sediment control. Gravel Surfacing Gravel surfacing may be used to cover soil in areas of high traffic source as roads, facility areas, and areas near the well heads. Gravel surfacing forms a layer that protects soil from winder and water erosion and prevents soil tracking. Land Grading Grading involved reshaping the ground surface to planned grades as determined by an engineering survey, evaluation, and layout. Grading provides more suitable topography for well pads, pipelines, facilities and access roads and helps to control surface runoff, soil erosion, and sedimentation during and after construction in these areas. Grading also includes road crowing and sloping to properly route runoff off the access roads. Level Spreader A level spreader is a BMP used to prevent erosion and to improve infiltration by spreading concentrated storm water runoff evenly over the ground as shallow flow instead of through channels. It usually involves a depression in the soil surface that disperses flow onto a flatter area across a slight slope and then releases the flow onto level vegetated areas. This reduces flow speed and increases infiltration. Mulching Mulching is a temporary erosion control practice in which materials such as grass, straw, hay, wood fibers or wood chips are placed on exposed or recently planted soil surfaces. Mulching stabilizes soils by minimizing rainfall impact and reducing storm water runoff velocity. When used in combination with seeding by holding seeds and topsoil in place, retaining moisture, and insulating plant roots against extremes temperatures. Retaining Wall Retaining walls are structures that are used to stabilize and hold soil in place, gain space on roadways or well pads, or to keep soil contained within a site boundary. This BMP can be constructed with rock, boulders, and/or cement blocks. 9 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Revegetation Revegetation involved planting seed to establish a vegetative cover on disturbed areas. Revegetation reduces erosion and sedimentation by stabilizing disturbed areas in a marmer that is economical and adaptable to site conditions. It also reduces runoff volumes by increasing water percolation into the soil, binds soil with roots, and protects soil from the wind. Timely revegetation also helps reduce the occurance of noxious weeds. The permanent seed mix, rate, application method, and supplemental materials will be selected by the Revegetation contractor. Rip rap Riprap is a permanent, erosion-resistant layer made of stones, rock, or boulders. It is intended to stabilize areas subject to erosion and protect against scour of the soil caused by concentrated, high velocity flows. Sediment Trap Sediment traps are intended to intercept, trap, and retain sediment from runoff while allowing detained runoff to slowly drain, infiltrate, or both. They are usually installed in a drainage way or other point of discharge from a disturbed area. This BMP is formed by excavating below grade and/or constructing an earthen embankment with a protected spillway to slow the release of runoff. Silt Fence Silt fences are used as temporary perimeter control structure that is designed to slow, temporary impounds, and filter sediment laden water. Installation techniques and maintenance is critical to proper performance. Slope Drain Slope drains are for situations that require runoff to be conveyed from the top slope to the bottom to avoid erosion on the disturbed areas, especially on steep slopes. The pipe rundowns consist of a pipe that conveys the storm water from the top of a slope to the 10 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Stabilized Construction Entrance A stabilized construction entrance is a pad of gravel over filter cloth where construction traffic a paved road. The purpose of a stabilized entrance to a site is to minimize the amount of traced mud and dust that leaves the site. As a vehicle drives over the gravel, mud and sediment are removed from the vehicle's wheels and off site transport of soil is reduced. This BMP also reduces erosion and rutting on the soil beneath the stabilization structure. The filter fabric separates the gravel from the soil below, preventing the gravel from being ground into the soil. The fabric also reduces the amount of rutting caused by vehicle tires by spreading the vehicle's weight over a larger soil area that just the tire width. Straw Bale Barrier A straw bale barrier is a series of entrenched and staked straw bales placed on a level contour to intercept sheet flows. The barrier reduces runoff velocity and filters sediment laden runoff from small drainage areas of disturbed soil. This BMP may also be used to protect against erosion. Straw Wattles Straw rolls are intended to capture and keep sediment on the slopes. Straw rolls are useful to temporarily stabilize slopes by reducing soil creep and sheet and rill erosion until permanent vegetation can be established. Straw rolls will last an average of one to two years. The slope needs to be prepared before the rolls are placed. Small trenches are created across the slope on the contour. The trench should be deep enough to accommodate half the thickness of the roll (about 3"-5"). The trenches need to be IO to 25 feet apart. The rolls need to be installed perpendicular to water movement, parallel to the slope contour. Start by installing rolls from the bottom of the slope. The rolls need to fit snugly against the soil. No gaps should be between the soil and roll. Willow or wooden stakes need to be driven through the roll and soil. There should only be I to 2 inches of stake exposed above the roll. The stakes should be installed every 4 feet. Surface Roughening Soil surface roughening is a temporary erosion control practice often used in conjunction with grading. Soil roughening involves increasing the relief of a bare soil surface with horizontal grooves (corrugating) or tracks (tracking) using construction equipment. Slopes that are not fine graded and that are left in a roughened condition can reduce erosion, traps sediment, and prepares the soil for seeding. 11 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Terracing Terraces are made of either earthen embankments or ridge and charmel system that is properly spaced along a fill slope. Terraces are constructed with an adequate grade to promote drainage to a stabilized outlet. They reduce damage from erosion by collecting and redistributing surface runoff to stable outlets at slower speeds and by decreasing the distance of overland runoff flow. They also surpass smooth slopes in holding moisture and help to minimize sediment loading of surface runoff. Vegetative Buffer Vegetative buffers are areas of either natural or established vegetation that are maintained to protect the water quality of neighboring areas. Vegetative buffers reduce the velocity of storm water runoff, provide and area for the runoff to permeate the soil, contribute to ground water recharge, and act as filters to catch sediment. The reduction in velocity also helps to prevent soil erosion. Water Bar A water bar is an earthen ridge, or ridge and charmel, constructed diagonally across a slope road, trail, or disturbed area that is subjected to erosion. Water bars are normally used for drainage and erosion protection of closed, blocked, or infrequently used roads to limit the accumulation of erosive volumes of water by diverting surface runoff ant pre- designed intervals. 4.2 Storm Water Management Controls Structural BMPs will be installed, inspected, and maintained as needed. The site will be periodically checked for erosion and drainage problems. If problems are noted, they should be reported to the Site Manager and/or SWMP administrator. Problem areas may be addressed through construction activities, but may need to be addressed through BMPs which will be added to the plan as needed. 4.3 Other Controls 4.3.1 Waste management and disposal Quarry construction and mining may generate various other wastes during the course of operation. Other wastes may include the following: • Trees and shrubs from clearing operations, • Trash and debris from construction materials and workers, • Sanitary sewage. 12 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Each of these wastes will be managed so as to not contribute to storm water pollution. Trees and shrubs may be piled along the quarry perimeter slopes to provide additional sediment control. Construction trash and debris will be collected in containers and hauled off-site for disposal in suitable landfills. Sanitary waste will be containerized in portable toilets or other storage tanks with waste materials regularly pumped and transported off-site for disposal at approved facilities. 4.3 .2 Fuels and materials management Petroleum Products Petroleum products which may be present at the site include: gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricant oils, hydraulic oils, used oils, and solvents. If stored on-site, gasoline and diesel fuel will be stored in portable storage tanks with secondary containment. Lubricant, hydraulic, and miscellaneous oils and solvents will be stored in 55-gallon or smaller containers. Pollutants from petroleum products used during construction and mining activities adhere easily to soil particles and other surfaces. In case of a spill or leak, soils contaminated with petroleum products will be contained and removed to a proper disposal site. Proposed soil erosion and sediment control practices will aid in retention of spills or leaks. Use of secondary containment and drip pans will reduce the likelihood of spills or leaks contacting the ground. Proposed maintenance and safe storage practices will reduce the chance of petroleum products contaminating the drilling site. Oily wastes such as crankcase oil, cans, rags, and paper containing oils will be placed in proper receptacles and disposed of or recycled. An additional source of petroleum contamination is leaks from equipment and vehicles. Routine daily inspections will be conducted to identify leaks and initiate corrective actions, if needed. The following guidelines for storing petroleum products will be used. • All product containers will be clearly labeled. • Drums will be kept off the ground within secondary containment and stored under cover if needed. • Fuel tanks will be stored within secondary containment. • Lids of drummed materials will be securely fastened. • Emergency spill response procedures will be available on-site. Persons trained in handling spills will be on call at all times. • Spill clean up and containment materials (absorbent, shovels, etc.) will be easily accessible. Spills will be immediately cleaned up and contaminated materials will be properly stored on site until they can be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. • Storage areas and containers will be regularly monitored for leaks and repaired or replaced as necessary. Workers should be reminded about proper storage and handling of materials during weekly subcontractor or safety meetings 13 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company Materials Management The mining contractor will maintain a staging area for equipment and materials storage at the site. This area will be maintained with good housekeeping and will be inspected on a regular basis for spills, leaks, and potential contamination. 4.3.3 Construction Site Housekeeping Site housekeeping will consist of neat and orderly storage of materials and containerized fluids. Wastes will be temporarily stored in sealed containers and regularly collected and disposed of at off-site, suitable facilities. If spills occur prompt cleanup is required to minimize any commingling of waste materials with storm water runoff. Routine maintenance will be limited to fueling and lubrication of equipment. Drip pans will be used during routine fueling and maintenance to contain spills or leaks. Any waste product from maintenance will be containerized and transported off site for disposal or recycling. There will be no major equipment overhauls conducted on site. Equipment will be transported off site for major overhauls. Temporary and permanent roads will be installed and stabilized to minimize the transport of sediment from the road surface by mobile equipment. Cleanup of trash and discarded materials will be conducted at the end of each work day. Cleanup will consist of patrolling the well pads, access areas, and other work areas to pickup trash, scrap steel, other discarded materials, and any contaminated soil. These materials will be disposed of appropriately. 5.0 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES To meet requirements of the General Permit inspection and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must occur during the project. Continued inspection and maintenance is required for specific structures after construction is completed. The inspection program will include the following: 1. A qualified person familiar with the SWMP and control measures will conduct the inspections. 2. Inspections will cover these area of the construction site: • Disturbed areas without stabilization, • Material storage areas, • Best Management Practices (BMPs), • Surface water diversions, • Downgradient areas, • New access roads, and • Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site. 14 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company 3. Inspections will occur at least once every 14 calendar days and after a significant precipitation or snow melt event that causes erosion. 4. Completed and stabilized areas will be inspected at least once per month. 5. A log of inspections will be kept. 6. Water quality will be visually assessed for all receiving streams and discharge areas during each inspection. 7. Disturbed areas and material storage areas that are exposed to precipitation will be inspected for evidence of pollutants entering nearby drainages. 8. Check dams, silt fences, and other BMPs will be inspected for evidence of deterioration, under-cutting, and build up of sediment. Sediment will be removed when it has built up one-third to one-half the height of the hay bales or silt fence. 9. Roads used for vehicle access will be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment transport. I 0. Following each inspection, the SWMP will be modified as necessary to include additional controls designed to correct identified problems. Revisions to the SWMP will be made within 7 days of the inspection. 11. An inspection report summarizing the scope of the inspection, the name of the person conducting the inspection, date of inspection, and observations relating to the implementation will be prepared. Inspection reports will be retained for at least 3 years from the date that the site is finally stabilized. 12. Actions taken to modify any storm water control measure will be recorded and maintained with the SWMP. 13. If no deficiencies are found during the inspection, the report will contain certification that the site is in compliance with the SWMP. Signatures will be in accordance with the General Permit Conditions, Part E. I (Appendix A). Maintenance will include prompt repairs and/or adjustments to any erosion and sediment control structures that are deteriorating or found to be performing inadequately. Repairs should be made as soon as possible and prior to the next anticipated storm event. Marathon Oil Co. or designated contractor(s) will maintain, on-site all materials necessary to make any reasonably expected repairs such as silt fence, straw bales, and stakes. 6.0 FINAL STABILIZATION Areas which have been disturbed are considered to be stabilized when a uniform vegetative cover with a density of 70 percent of the pre-disturbance levels has been established or when an equivalent permanent, physical erosion reduction method is in- place. For the specific final stabilization seed mixture please refer to Figure 2. 15 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company 1. Areas which are not used for facilities, access roads, materials storage, or other work areas will be stabilized with vegetation. Areas that are stabilized with vegetation will be considered to have achieved final stabilization when a uniform stand of vegetation with a density of at least 70 percent of the pre-disturbance has been established. 2. Gravel surfacing -gravel surfacing will be applied in areas such as access roads, materials storage yards, and other work surfaces. Some gravel may be lost due to erosion from intense precipitation events or due to vehicle traffic. Gravel surfaces will be periodically inspected to determine the need for gravel replacement. Gravel surfaces will be replaced or repaired (through grading) when inspection reveals that the gravel surface is no longer effectively covering the soil surface. 16 Circle Dot Gulch Quarry Marathon Oil Company 7.0 CERTIFICATIONS 7.1 Owner/ Applicant Certification I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.

Stewart Co. P.O. Box 3180 Evanston, Wyoming Attention: Mr. Jim Voeller ·. · ······ Subject: Prelini.ina.rY Test Boring Logs Marathon Oil, Piceance Basin Near Parachute, Colorado Mr. Voeller, · 12 June 2007 PN:.M07036GE This letter presents copies of the preliminary test boring logs from our field study for the subject site. The field study was performed on June 6 2007. The field study consisted of logging and sampling the soil materials encountered in seven (7) small diameter continuous flight auger test borings. The approximate locations of the test borings are shown on Figure 1. The logs of the soil materials encountered in the test borings are presented on Figures 2 through 8. The test borings were logged by Lambert and Associates and samples of significant soil types were obtained. The samples were obtained from the test borings using a Modified California Barrel sampler and bulk disturbed samples were obtained. Penetratfon blow counts were determined using a 140 pound hammer free falling 30 inches. The blow counts are presented on the logs of the test borings such as 35/6 where 35 blows with the hammer were required to drive the sampler 6 inches. The engineering field description and major soil classification are based on our interpretation of the materials encountered and are prepared according to the Unified Soil Classification System, ASTM 02488. The description and classification which appear on the test boring.Jog is intended to be that which most accurately describes a given. interva.1 of the test boring (frequently an interval of several feet). Occasionally discrepancies occur in the Unified Soil Classification System nomenclature between an interval of the soil log and a particular sample in the interval. For example, an interval on the test boring log may be identified as a silty sand (SM) while one · sample taken within the interval may have individually been identified as a sandy silt (ML).

These lands are described in the pennit application, as amended and supplemented, and are referred to herein as the "Affected Lands". WHEREAS, in 1he application for the pennit, the Operator has agreed to be bound by all requirements of the Act and all applicable nlfes and regulations of the Board, as amended from time to time. WHEREAS, in the application for the pem1it, the Operator has agreed with the Board lo provide for reclamation of the Aff'ec-ted Lands that arc now, or may bccolne, subject to the pcnnit! as required by la\\'. Oifiet~ nf Offio! of r-.1ined land Reclamation De11v!!r • Grand Junction • Durango Ar.1iv1~ and Inactive Mines ·'· -2- WHEREAS, the Operator and Safeco Insurance Company-.of (the "Warrantor"), a corporation · America . organized and existing under the laws of the State of Wil&hiIJgtoIJ and duly author1zed to transact a bonding and surety business in the State of Colorado are hereby and firmly bound unto the State in the sum of Twenty Thousand Six Hundred Seventy SDollars ($ ---20 676.00----) for the life of mine or until such time as replacement is received, for the payment of which sum, well and truly made, we hereby bind ourselves and our personal representatives, successors and a..;;signs, jointly and severally, fmnly by these presents. WHEREAS, the Board has detennined, in accordance with the Act, that the estimated costs of reclamation of the Affected Lands are those amounts for the stated periods of time as set forth herein. Said amount may be amended from time to time to reflect revised estimates of said costs of reclamation. WHEREAS, tl1e Operator and the Warrantor, in accordance with the Act, has promised and hereby promises the Board that it will be responsible for all the estimated costs of reclaniation with regard to the Affected Lands. WHEREAS, the Board has determined that this Financial Warranty by the Warrantor equals the estimated costs of reclamation, as approved by the Board, with regard to the Affected Lands. NOW, THEREFORE, the Operator and the Warrantor are held hereby firmly unto the State of Colorado in the amount of those sums for those periods of time as set forth herein, until this Financial Wananty is amended or released in accordance with applicable law. The Board may, for good cause shown, increase or decrease the amount and duration of this Financial Warranty. The Operator shall have sixty (60) days after the date ofnotice of any such adjustment to increase the surety amount, but no such increase shall bind the Warrantor unless and until it shall have consented thereto in writing by the issuance of an additional Financial Warranty or by an endorsement to this Financial Warranty. The Operator and the Warrantor shall notify the Board immediately of any event which may impair this Financial Warranty. If the Board receives such notice, or otherwise has reason to believe that this Financial Warranty has been materially impaired, .it may convene a hearing in accordance with tl1e Act for the purpose of determining whether impairment ha~ occurred. 'Ibe obligation of the Operator and tl1e Warrantor shall continue until the Board has released this Financial Warranty or has ordered it forfeited in accordance with applicable provisions of the Act. It is understood that periods of years may necessarily be required beforn detennination can he made that reclaniatio11 of the Affected Lands has been satisfactorily completed. It is also recognized that, as reclamation is accomplished, the amount of this Financial Warranty may be reduced with the approval of the Board so that it reflects \he then current estimated cost of the remaining reclamation of the Affected Lands. No revision, extension, or renewal of the permil, or of the time allowed to complete reclamation, shall diminish the Operator's or Warrantors obligation under this Financial Warranty. No misrepresentation by the Operator which may have induced the Warrantor to execute this Financial Warranty shall be any defense to demand by the State under this agreement. -3- In any single year during the life of the pennit, the amount of the Financial Warranty shall not exceed the estimated cost of fully reclaiming all lands to be affocted in said year, plus all lands affected in previous permit years and not yet fully reclaimed. Reclamation costs shall be co1nputed \.\'ith reference to current reclamation costs. The amount of this Financial Warranty is based upon estimates as to the cost of reclamation, and does not operate to liquidate, limit, enlarge or restrict the Operator's obligations to complete reclamation and to comply in all respects with the permit and with applicable laws and regulations governing reclamation, even though the acrual cost thereof may substantially exceed the amount of this Financial Warranty. The Mined Land Reclamation Board or the Office of Mined Land Reclamation may recover the necessary costs, including attorney's fees or fees incurred in foreclosing on or realizing the collateral used in the event this Financial Warranty is forfeited. The face amount of this Financial Warranty shall be increased by five hundred dollars ($500.00) to cover these costs. The Warrantor shall not be liable under this Financial Warranty for an amount greater than the sum designated herein, unless increased by a later amendment to this Financial Warranty. This Financial Warranty shall be reviewed by the Board from time to time, and the Board may require an increase in the principal sum of this Financial Warranty (and a corresponding increase in the surety amount) to cover increases in the estimated costs of reclamation, but no such increase shall bind the Warrantor unless and until it shall have consented thereto in writing by the issuance of an additional Financial Warranty or by an endorsement to this Financial Warranty. The Warrantor reserves the right to cancel this Financial Warranty. effective only upon an anniversary date, and only by giving written notice to that effect, mailed by Certified Mail, at least ninety (90) days prior to such anniversary date, addressed to both the Operator at its address herein stated, and to the Board at the address herein stated. Jn the event of such cancellation, this Financial Warranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect as respects the reclamation ofall areas disturbed prior to the effective date of such cancellation, unless and until the Operator shall file a substitute Financial Warranty which: {I) assumes liability for all reclamation obligations which shall have arisen at any time while this Financial Warranty is in force; and (2) is accepted in writing by the Board. In the event of such cancellation, if the Financial Warranty is not fully released, the amount of the continuing Financial Warranty available for the reclamation of areas disturbed and unreel aimed at the date of cancellation shall be fixed by the Board at the amount it determines necessary to complete such reclamation (which amount may not exceed the sum designated herein) and the Board shall concurrently identify such areas in writing, and notify the Warrantor and the Operator thereof. Thereafter, the obligation of the Warrantor shall be limited to reclamation of the areas so identified. The consideration for the Warranto~s execution of this agreement is the promise of the Operator to pay the premiums, but failure by the Operator to pay such premiums shall not invalidate or diminish the Warrantor's obligation hereunder. The Board may make demand upon the Warrantor for payment hereunder if the Board determines that reclamation which ought to have been performed by the Operator, or it< succeswrs or assii,'lls, remains unperfom1ed, and iffinancial Warranty forfeiture procedures required by law have been initiated. No otl1er condition precedent need be fulfilled to entitle the State to receive the amount so demanded. However, it; upon completion of reclamation by the State, the amounts expended for reclamation shall be less than the amount received from the Warrantor, the excess shall be promptly refunded to the Warrantor. If demand is made upon the Warrantor for payment of an amount due to the Board hereunder, and if the Warrantor fails to make payment of such amount within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt of such demand, or ifit should thereafter be detem1ined, by agreement of the Warrantor or by final judgment of court, that the amount demanded was proper!;· payable, the Warrantor agrees to pay 10 the Board, in addition to the amount den1anded1 interest at the prime rate in effect fron1 time to time at 1he United Bank of Denver for the period commencing at the end of such ninety-day period and ending on the date of actual payment. '· - 4 - If the Board shall notify the Warrantor that the Operator is in default, and if the Board shall initiate any Financial Warranty forfeiture procedures required by law or regulation, the Warrantor may, in lieu of making payment to the Board of the amount due hereunder, cause the redamation to be timely performed in accordance with all requirements of the Act and all applicable rules and regulations. In such event, when and if the reclamation has been timely performed to the satisfuction of the Board or Division, this Financial Warranty shall be released. If the reclamation shall not be so performed to the satisfaction of the Board or Division, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and effect. This Ffo.iiilCialWitrianiy shall be subject tii foifeifoie whenever the Board deteiriiines that any one or more of the following circumstances exist: J. A Cease and Desist Order entered pursuant to Section 34-32-124 of the Act has been violated, and the corrective action proposed in such Order has not been completed, although ample time to have done so has elapsed; or 2. The Operator is in default under its Performance Warranty, and such default has not been cured, although written notice and ample time to cure such default has been given; or 3. The Operator and/or the Warrantor has failed to maintain its Financial Warranty in good standing as required by the Act; or 4. The Warrantor no longer has the financial ability to carry out its obligations in accordance with the Act. The description of lands herein is for convenience of reference only, and no error in such description, nor any revision of the permitted mining area, nor the disturbance by the Operator oflands outside of the permitted mining area shall alter or diminish die obligations of the Operator and/or Warrantor hereunder, which shall extend to the reclamation ofall such lands disturbed. If this financial Warranty applies to National Forest System lands, and if this Financial Warranty is accepted by the United States Forest Service ("U.S.F.S.") as the bond required under 36 C.F.R. 228.13, then the Operator, having requested that the Board and the U.S.f.S. accept this single Financial Warranty in lieu of the separate bonds which would otherwise be required by applicable law, hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, oroflaw, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and etlect until U.S.F.S. has advised the Board by written notice that the Operator's obligations to U.S.F.S., for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been released by the Board. If this Financial Warranty applies to lands under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Land Commissioners ('Land Board"), and if this Financial Warranty, in whole or in part. is accepted by the Land Board as the bond required under its applicable law and procedures, then the Operator, having requested that the State accept this Financial Warranty in lieu of the separate bonds which would otherwise be required by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board or Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and by the Land Board, hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, or oflaw, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Board is notified in writing by the Land Board that the Operator's obligations to the Land Board, for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been released by the Board. ff all or any part of the Affected Lands are under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, United States Department of the Interior {the "BLM"i, and if. at the requesl of the Operator on this Financial Warranty, the BLM has, pursuant to 43 C.F.R. 3809.1-9, accepted this Financial Warranly in lieu ofrequiring a separate reclamation bond payable to the United Stales. then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Financial Warranty, or of law, the Operator and Warrantor hereby agree that this Financial Warranty shall not be released until the Board is advised in writing b)· the BLM -5 - that the Operator's obligations to the BLM, for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been relea,ed by the Board. This Financial Warranty may be executed in multiple copies, each of which shall be treated as an original, but together they constitute only one agreeme-nt, the validity and interpretation of which shall be governed by the la\VS of the State of Colorado.

Fred The plan is acceptable. Steve From: Doug Dennison [mailto:DougDennison@cordcomp.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 3:35 PM To: Steve Anthony Subject: Marathon Weed Management Plan Steve, Page 1of1 One of the conditions of approval the BOCC applied to a CUP application from Marathon Oil Company (MOC) for a rock quarry was to obtain your approval for MOC's proposed weed management plan. I have enclosed the plan that Pa lier & Girard prepared for MOC last year that covers all of their operations, including the site of this quarry. As soon as the snow is off this property, MOC is planning to have Pa lier & Girard do new surveys and update this plan, and I will provide you an update at that time. Could you review this plan and let me know if it meets your requirements? If so, it would be helpful if you could send Fred Jarman a note to let him know that this COA was complied with for the "Conditional Use Permit request for "Extraction and Material Handling of Natural Resources" for the Circle Dot Quarry for Marathon". Let me know if you have any questions or if we need to get together to discuss. Thanks.
