Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) Williams Production RMT Noble to Parachute Pipeline Project Overview Williams Production RMT (Williams) is planning to construct, operate, and maintain approximately 7.3 miles of twelve (12) inch steel high pressure natural gas gathering pipeline, and approximately 3.5 miles of sixteen (16) inch steel low pressure natural gas gathering pipeline and a four (4) inch produced water gathering pipeline. The proposed pipelines will be utilized to gather natural gas from Noble Energy, Inc with in Section 2, Township 8 South, Range 96 West, and to deliver the product to a tie-in point on two of William's pipelines. The proposed 12 inch pipeline will terminate in Section 2, Township 6 South, Range 96 West, and the 16 and 4 inch will terminate in Section 24, Township 7 South, Range 96 west. Williams has signed an agreement with Noble Energy to gather their produced natural gas and to deliver it to additional treating facilities for further processing of the gas, and then to deliver it on to market. The proposed pipelines have been sized accordingly to allow for all of Noble's current and future gas volumes. Private lands, County Right of Way, Union Pacific Railroad, and Colorado Department of Transportation will be affected by the proposed pipelines. Williams has received permission from the Garfield County Road and Bridge as well as the Garfield Board of County Commissioners to utilize county right of way along Garfield County Road 300. Williams has submitted to the Union Pacific Railroad and to the Colorado Department of Transportation for permission to install the proposed pipelines within their right of ways. Williams has acquired all land owner agreement for the proposed pipeline R.O.W. The proposed pipelines will be installed to allow for a minimum of forty-eight (48) inches of cover above pipelines except within County R.O.W. were it will be installed to allow for a minimum of sixty (60) inches of cover above pipelines. Williams intends to directionally bore the Colorado River as well as to bore Hwy 6 & 24 and 1-70. Williams will bore all county road crossings as well. Both pipelines will be installed in the same ditch and will allow for 5 feet of separation between the two pipelines. The 5 feet of separation will reduce the need to expose both pipelines in the event of repairs needing to be made to one of the pipelines. Both the 16 inch and the 12 inch pipelines will installed to meet all Federal, State, and Local regulations to include all API and DOT specifications for installing natural gas pipelines. The proposed 12 inch high pressure natural gas gathering pipeline will be constructed using .375" W.T., X-52, Steel Fusion Bond Epoxy Coated pipe. The pipeline will maintain 900 to 1000 PSI. after construction has been completed. The proposed 16 inch will be constructed using .288" W.T., X-60, Steel Fusion Bond Epoxy Coated pipe, and will maintain approximately 150 PSI. The proposed sixteen inch pipeline will be utilized as a low pressure natural gas gathering pipeline. It will gather produced natural gas from Noble's existing compressor and will deliver the natural gas to a tie-in point on Williams existing pipeline located in Section 24. The pipelines will be constructed using 16" .288" W. T., X-60, Fusion bond epoxy coated pipe. Williams is also planning to install a 4" produced water pipeline. This pipeline will be utilized as a gathering and./or distribution pipeline. Williams intends to gather a small portion of the produced water at Noble's compressor that is produced from William's fee wells. The proposed 4" pipeline will also be utilized to distribute the produced water to Williams' well sites for the continued drilling and completion activities of producing natural gas. The proposed pipeline will be constructed of a material know as flex pipe. Pipeline will also be installed in same ditch as 16" pipeline and be separated by sandbags. Williams intends to utilize the services of a contract company that is familiar with Oil and Gas pipelines to construct and install the proposed pipelines. Williams will select the pipeline contractor using the bid process. Williams will insure compliance with all governing agencies and regulations. After construction and installation of the pipelines has been completed the R.O.W. will be restored to near original state. The pipeline R.O.W. will then be re -seeded during the first available growing season after construction has been completed. Williams will continue to work with affected land owners and agencies to comprise appropriate seed mixtures for the proposed pipeline R.O.W. Williams will continue to monitor the pipeline R.O.W. to insure proper growth of vegetation and to assure that no noxious weeds are growing within the R.O.W. Williams will continue to monitor the pipeline R.O.W. during construction and after the construction has completed to insure that no surface erosion caused by storm water is occurring on the pipeline R.O.W. and will comply with all State and Federal Storm Water regulations.

On August 21, 2006 Williams notified ERO Resources and informed them that the Noble Pipeline alignment has been shifted. The project consists of one 12 -inch and one 16 -inch pipeline that will be constructed at the same time and will be trenched together. One drainage, Pete and Bill Creek, a waters of the U.S., would be crossed by the pipeline. The pipeline will also cross the Dry Creek Drainage. Dry Creek does not appear to be a waters of the U.S. as no discernable channel, ordinary high water mark or defined bank exist. Activities involving the discharge of dredged and fill material are subject to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. It is our understanding that the pipeline crossing of Pete and Bill Creek would involve conventional open trench construction. The crossing of Pete and Bill Creek with the pipeline is authorized by Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 for utility activities through March 18, 2007 (all NWPS are subject to renewal and modification by March 19, 2007). In our opinion, Williams does not need to submit a PCN to the Corps for this work because it will not involve mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland, will not exceed 500 feet in length in waters of the U.S., and will not run parallel to the streambed. In order for the work to be authorized under NWP 12, the specific and general NWP conditions must be followed. Please note the following conditions that are the most likely to apply: • Side cast material from the trench excavation cannot be placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces (i.e., do not side cast into the channel of a live stream). • Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody (i.e., revegetate). • Perform the work during low flows. c:\documents and settingslcody smithlmy documentslwilliams production\parachute to noble#060031proposed30-inchpipelineprojectrevised8-25.doc Comultnuls in Nature/ Resoorros end the Environment Michael Gardner Williams Production RMT Page 2 August 30, 2006 • Determine that the work will not adversely affect any federally listed species (Rob has information on threatened and endangered species in the area). Please note that if trench dewatering is required or flows in Pete and Bill Creek will need to be temporarily routed around the crossings, NWP 33 will likely be needed to authorize dewatering and/or cofferdams.

INTRODUCTION This Reclamation Plan (plan) describes measures to be taken by Williams Production RMT(Company) and its construction contractors (Contractor) for topsoil restoration, reseeding, planting, noxious weed control and reclamation monitoring. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this plan is to describe in text and on drawings the prescribed methods for topsoil replacement, reseeding, planting noxious weed control, and monitoring for reclamation success. This plan is applicable to the construction on right-of-way (ROW) and extra workspace locations. 1.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The short-term goals of reclamation are to control erosion and sedimentation and to minimize impacts to adjacent land uses. Properly executed construction practices and optimum scheduling will mitigate short-term impacts. Long term goals include controlling erosion and sedimentation; protecting water resources and soils; limiting the introduction and spread of noxious weeds; and returning disturbed areas to pre-existing condition. Monitoring during construction and post -construction will ensure that these goals are achieved. 1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING The Company will conduct environmental training for all project personnel. Training will include topsoil protection measures and methods for controlling the spread of noxious weeds (e.g., maintaining clean vehicles and equipment). 1.4 RELATED PLANS / MAPS The following documents include additional requirements specifically related to the reclamation of the ROW and ancillary areas: • Soil Conservation, Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan • Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan • Hazardous Materials Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan • Alignment Sheets 1.5 RESPONSIBILTIES Responsibilities are detailed below: 1.5.1 The Company The Company will be responsible for ensuring that the Contractor meets the standards defined in this plan to restore all disturbed areas to pre -construction conditions and to ensure long-term monitoring of restoration success. The Company will take remedial actions as necessary to restore and maintain a stable vegetative cover on the ROW. The Company will provide the Contractor with the appropriate blended seed mixes developed through consultation with agency representative and landowners. 1.5.2 The Contractor The pipeline Contractor will be responsible for post -construction re -seeding of the ROW, extra workspaces, and off -ROW ancillary sites following their construction activities. Reclamation will be conducted according to this plan as specified for the Contractor. 1.5.3 The Environmental Inspector The Environmental Inspector will have the responsibility to ensure field activities are performed in accordance with this reclamation plan by the Contractor and in compliance with all other permits and agreements. The Environmental Inspector will have the authority to make site-specific field changes in certain reclamation procedures within the guidelines of this plan in consultation with the landowner or BLM. 2. RECLAMATION PROCESS The following sections outline the pre -construction planning and sequential steps for restoring the ROW and extra workspaces following installation of the pipe and backfilling of the trench. However, one of the most important factors relating to successful reclamation takes place during the initial grading of the ROW. Topsoil salvage requirements and methods are discussed in detail in the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan. 2.1 RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES The Environmental Inspectors with the BLM, Soil Conservation Authority and Landowners will work to determine depth of topsoil, salvage, appropriate seed mixes, and seeding methods. 2.2 ROCK DISPOSAL "Excess rock" is defined as all rock that cannot be returned to the existing rock profile in the trench or graded cuts, or is not needed to restore the ROW surface to a condition comparable to that found adjacent to the ROW. This does not include tailings from boring operations. (NOTE* Absolutely no tailings from the proposed boring areas will be spread or stored on federal land.) Excess rock will be randomly distributed across the ROW, piled or windrowed to create or enhance wildlife habitat, or arranged to block use of the ROW by motor vehicles. If not practical, the Contractor will remove other excess rock from the ROW and haul it to an approved disposal site. The Company will coordinate with landowners or the affected agencies regarding the methods of disposal. All access routes will be reinstalled to original state unless otherwise stipulated by landowner. No access routes will be block with excess rock. 2.3 FINAL CLEANUP Within 30 days after backfilling the trench, the Contractor will make every effort to complete final cleanup and installation of permanent erosion control structures. If circumstances prevent achieving cleanup within 60 days on federal lands, the Company will apply for a variance from the BLM. The ROW and other project -related areas where soil has been disturbed will be restored as close to pre -excavation grades, compaction, and other conditions as possible, unless a specific exemption has been granted by the landowner or BLM. No solid waste, trash, or vegetative matter will be buried on the ROW. Final compaction of disturbed areas will be returned to approximate pre -construction conditions. In cases where this is not possible, e.g., steep slopes or rocky areas where full -ROW width topsoil salvage was not required, compaction will not vary more than 10 percent from adjacent off -ROW conditions. The Company will test soil compaction to a depth of 18 inches, if possible, at regular intervals using hand-held penetrometers or equivalent testing equipment and procedures. The Contractor will take remedial action as directed by the Company at all locations where compaction is not within the previously described 10 -percent limit. The Contractor will decompact excessively compacted areas with a paraplow, "Vibrashank," or other deep tillage implement. In areas where topsoil has been segregated, the subsoil will be decompacted prior to re -spreading the topsoil. In areas with a pre-existing rocky surface material, the Contractor will spread rock over the ROW to maintain a surface appearance similar to that of adjacent undisturbed terrain. Spreading rock on the surface will not be used as a method to dispose of excess rock except as described in Section .2.2. Where approved by the landowner or BLM and environmental Inspector, the Contractor will randomly distribute any windrowed shrubs or other remaining vegetation debris over the ROW. However, this must be accomplished by hand or light equipment (e.g., all - terrain vehicles) after seeding of the ROW so the spread material will not interfere with the performance of seeding equipment and to prevent disturbance of the seedbed. 2.4 TOPSOIL RESTORATION After the trench has been backfilled and the ROW regarded, the Contractor will redistribute topsoil to the approximate location from which it was originally removed. Restored topsoil will be left in a roughened condition to discourage erosion and enhance the quality of the seedbed. Topsoil will not be handled during excessively wet or frozen conditions as determined by the Environmental or Construction Inspector. Topsoil will be redistributed as close to original salvage depths as possible. Salvage methods are discussed in Section 2.2 of the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan. Segregation of subsoil and topsoil will be maintained throughout final cleanup procedures. The Contractor will be responsible for replacement of lost or degraded (mixed) topsoil with topsoil imported from a Company -approved and weed -free source. Additional erosion control and soil stabilization will be required in areas adjacent to or within drainages. See the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan and Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan for additional information. 2.5 MISCELLANEOUS AGRICULTURAL FEATURES All irrigation ditches, drain tiles, cattle guards, fences, and artificial and natural livestock/wildlife water sources will be maintained and repaired to at least pre - construction conditions. Temporary measures will be provided, as agreed with the landowner or BLM, for any of these facilities that are disrupted during the construction or reclamation process. All drain tiles crossed by the trench line will be located and restored to the satisfaction of the landowner. Since the exact location or even the existence of drainage system may not be known prior to excavation, all drain tiles unearthed during excavation by the Contractor will be reported to the Company in writing. 2.6 SEEDBED PREPARATION The Contractor will scarify, till, or harrow the seedbed to a depth of 3 to 4 inches or as determined by the Environmental Inspector prior to seeding where needed to improve revegetation potential. Those sites where seedbed preparation is not practical (e.g., steep lopes, rocky areas, etc.) will be left with adequate roughness following topsoil placement to create micro -environments for seed germination and growth, and to reduce the potential for soil movement. 2.7 SOIL SUPPLEMENTS Generally, fertilizer will not be used unless requested by the landowner or recommended by either the Environmental Inspector or a soil conservation authority. At this time, no areas have been identified that require fertilizer. 2.8 REVEGETATION The Contractor will be responsible for seeding the ROW and off -ROW ancillary sites using Company -supplied seed mixes, appropriate seeding methods, and approved application rates. The seeding requirements and scheduling of reclamation activities will be determined in coordination with BLM, Soil Conservation Authority or the appropriate landowner. 2.8.1 Species Selection and Sources Selection of grass and shrub species for revegetation will be based on pre - construction community composition and soil types as well as establishment potential, soil stabilizing qualities, commercial availability of regional varieties, post -construction land use objectives, and agency recommendations. Native species will be utilized to the extent possible unless non -natives are specifically requested by a private landowner or land managing agency. Project seed will be purchased from the blended by qualified producers and dealers. Certified weed -free or "blue -tagged" seed will be purchased for use on the project, but this status is only available for those native species with named varieties. All other seed will be free of primary noxious weeds. Williams Production RMT will submit the seed for independent testing prior to its use. The Contractor will be responsible for providing all seed tags to the Environmental or Construction Inspector at the end of each day. On BLM and Garfield County lands, the following seed mix will be used: Pounds pure live seed (PLS)/Acre Luna Pubescent Wheatgrass 3.0 Paloma Indian Ricegrass 3.0 Arriba Western Wheatgrass 2.0 Rincon Rour-wing Saltbrush 1.0 Shadscale 1.0 Total 10.0 lbs PLS/Acre 2.8.2 Seed Application Rates and Viability Species ratios and Pure Live Seed (PLS) application rates will be developed in consultation with landowners, agency specialists and other regional revegetation consultants. Seeding rates will be determined in PLS pounds per acre and seeds per square foot based on drilled application rates. Broadcast seeding rates will be twice the drill rate. Seed will be used within 12 months of testing to assure seed viability. If additional seeding is required in the year following construction, additional viability test will be conducted to determine any need for adjustment of application rates. The Contractor will seed wetlands, when necessary as determined by the Environmental Inspector and BLM. Successful recolonization by wetland species is generally related to effective topsoil salvage methods and sources of seed and rhizomes in adjacent areas. Streambanks will be seeded immediately upon completion of final cleanup as described in the Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan and independent of other reclamation activities 2.8.3 Seeding Methods and Procedures The Contractor will employ broadcast or drill seeding as determined in the field by the Company. Seeding activities will be contingent upon weather and soil conditions, and subject to evaluation by the Environmental Inspector. Seeding will not be permitted if there is more than 2 inches of snow on the ground unless approved by the Environmental Inspector and BLM field representative. Where approved by the landowner or land managing agency, the Contractor will randomly distribute any windrowed shrubs or other remaining vegetation debris over the ROW by hand or light equipment so as not to disturb the seedbed. 2.8.3.1 Drill Seeding Drill seeding will be employed wherever soil characteristics and slope allow effective operation of a range drill. Drill seeding will be performed perpendicular to the slope unless otherwise directed by the Environmental Inspector and BLM field representative. The drill will have a seed release mechanism sufficient to allow seeds of various sizes and densities to be planted at the proper seeding depth. 2.8.3.2 Broadcast Seeding Broadcast seeding will be employed in all areas where drill seeding cannot be performed. Seed will be applied using manually operated cyclone - bucket spreaders, mechanical spreaders, blowers or hydroseeders. Seed will be uniformly broadcast over disturbed areas. Immediately after broadcasting, the seed will be uniformly raked, chained, harrowed, or cultipacked to incorporate seed to a sufficient seeding depth. If it is not possible to cover the seed with mechanical methods, the seeding rates will be doubled. 2.9 PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL Permanent erosion control methods will be utilized as needed for stabilization of slopes and soils as described in the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan. Permanent erosion control measures will be installed within 30 days after the trench is backfilled to aid in site stabilization wherever required. 3. NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL Noxious weeds are spread through the dispersal of seeds or the transport of propagative plant parts. It is therefore important to reduce the sources of seed and viable plant material prior to construction disturbance and to prevent its transport or importation during construction. The combination of methods described below will be employed to minimize the potential for expansion of noxious weed populations via the pipeline route. 3.1 WEED CONTROL MEASURES DURING CONSTRUCTION The Company will require that all Contractor vehicles and equipment arrive at the work site clean, to prevent the importation of noxious weeds from a previous work site. Only after the Environmental Inspector has determined it to be free of soil, debris, or other potential sources of noxious weeds will any piece of equipment be allowed initial transport or access to the ROW. 4. WORKER SAFETY AND SPILL REPORTING All contracted herbicide contractors will obtain and have readily available copies of the appropriate application permits and the Environmental Protection Agency Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the herbicides being used. All reasonable precautions will be taken to avoid spilling herbicides. However, a spill kit will be carried in all herbicide applicator's vehicles to facilitate quick and effective response to a spill, should one occur. Herbicide spills will be reported in accordance with the requirements described in the project's Hazardous Material Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan 5. RECLAMATION ASCHEDULE AND DOCUMENTATION Reclamation activities will be determined in part by construction schedules and seasonal climatic conditions. Seeding and planting will be coordinated with other reclamation activities to occur as soon after seedbed preparation as possible. Ideally, the Contractor will complete permanent reclamation activities prior to the end of the typical fall planting season (September 1st - October 31st ). Upon completion of reclamation, the Company's Construction Inspector, Environmental Inspector, and Land Agents, and BLM representatives will perform a final inspection of the ROW and ancillary facilities to verify that pre -construction commitments have been satisfied. A copy of the post -reclamation inspection form will be transmitted to the Contractor is any deficiencies or a need for remedial action is noted. 6. POST -CONSTRUCTION MONITORING AND EVALUATION 6.1 REVEGETATION AND EROSION CONTROL MONITORING During the first growing season following construction and reclamation, qualified specialists will conduct intensive surveys to assess revegetation success and determine the need for further reclamation. Revegetation monitoring will include evaluation of the following parameters as compared to adjacent (off -ROW) vegetation: • percent total herbaceous cover (seeded species plus desirable volunteers), and ♦ species composition Where applicable, the following will be evaluated: ♦ new or expanded populations of noxious weeds. Areas with poor germination and/or growth will be evaluated to determine, if possible, the cause of the problem. Reclamation techniques will be modified as necessary to address any identified problems and appropriate remedial measures will be undertaken. The Contractor will be responsible for remediating any problem areas identified by the Company for the first growing season following construction. Thereafter, the Company will be responsible for obtaining a reclamation contractor to perform any necessary work. Erosion control monitoring will be performed in response to significant weather events and/or concurrently with the revegetation monitoring during the first year following construction. Success criteria for both are discussed in Section 6.2. Both erosion control and revegetation monitoring will be conducted routinely throughout the life of the pipeline to evaluate long-term survival of reestablished vegetation and the effectiveness of erosion control measures with specific attention to problem sites. 6.2 EVALUATING RECLAMATION SUCCESS The Company is responsible for the stability and revegetation of all areas disturbed as a result of construction for the life of the pipeline. As discussed in Section 6.1, the Company will conduct intensive monitoring after the first growing season and routinely thereafter to assess soil stability and revegetation success. The Contractor will reseed any portion of the ROW that does not exhibit 50 percent total herbaceous cover (comprised of seeded species plus desirable volunteers) relative to adjacent (off -ROW) vegetation after the first complete growing season. Additional seeding will be completed during the next seeding season (fall or spring). In the event that first year revegetation is affected by precipitation amounts significantly below the annual average, the Company may request deferment of additional seeding activities until the following seeding window. The reclaimed ROW will be considered stable when the surface appears similar to adjacent undisturbed land and the following accelerated erosion indicators do not exist: • perceptible soil movement (exceeding pre -construction conditions) • head cutting in drainages • flow pattern development resulting in large (greater than 12 inches in depth) rills or gullies • trench subsidence or slumping Revegetation will be considered successful when the following criteria are met: • total herbaceous (seeded species plus desirable volunteers) cover is at least 75 percent of that on adjacent land, • species composition comprised of a mix of seeded species and desirable volunteers from adjacent communities, and WILLIAMS PRODUCTION RMT WEED CONTROL PLAN Table 1.

Table 3. Treatment Strategies for Perinnials Target: Deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed production 1. Allow plants to expend as much energy from root system as possible, do not treat when first emerging in spring but allow growth to bud/ bloom stage. 2. Herbicide treatment at bud to bloom stage or in the fall. In the fall plants draw nutrients into the roots for winter storage. Herbicides will be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time, another season of seed production is not as important as getting ther herbicide into the root system. Spraying in the fall will kill the following years shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time. 3. Mowing usuafy is not recommended because the Aland will flower anyway; seed production may be reduced, however. Many studies have shown that mowing perennials and spraying the re -growth is not as effective as spraying without mowing. Effect of mowing is species dependent; therefore, it is imperative to know the species and its biology. NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL Noxious weeds are spread through the dispersal of seeds or the transport of propagative plant parts. It is therefore important to reduce the sources of seed and viable plant material prior to construction disturbance and to prevent its transport or importation during construction. The combination of methods described below will be employed to minimize the potential for expansion of noxious weed populations via the pipeline route. WEED CONTROL MEASURES DURING CONSTRUCTION The Company will require that all Contractor vehicles and equipment arrive at the work site clean, to prevent the importation of noxious weeds from a previous work site. Only after the Environmental Inspector has determined it to be free of soil, debris, or other potential sources of noxious weeds will any piece of equipment be allowed initial transport or access to the ROW.

Measures will be taken to minimize this impact through scheduling and limiting access to the pipeline right-of- way. Anticipated "Traffic Impact" for each phase is as follows: Phase #1 — Right -of -Way Clearing and Trenching Construction personnel = 12 Vehicles = 4 Inspection personnel = 2 Vehicles = 2 Heavy haul trucks = 2 Trips = 3 each Phase #1 Duration = 4 weeks Phase #2 — Weld and install pipeline: Construction personnel = 50 Inspection personnel = 2 Heavy haul trucks = 6 Phase #2 Duration = 6 weeks Phase #3 — Hydro -test pipeline: Construction personnel = 9 Inspection personnel =1 Phase #3 Duration = 2 Weeks Vehicle = 10 Vehicle = 2 Trips =1 each Vehicle = 3 Vehicle =1 Phase #4 — Right -of -Way Cleanup and reseeding Construction personnel = 10 Vehicle = 3 Inspection personnel = 2 Vehicle = 2 Heavy haul trucks = 2 Trips = 3 each Phase #4 Duration = 3 weeks Due to construction pipeline construction within Garfield County Right of Way one lane of road will be required to be closed during construction. Traffic levels in this area are low and mainly consist of Oil and Gas activities. Williams has agreed to supply certified flagers during construction. All permits will be obtained as required by Garfield County for trucking and/or wide loads. Dust control will be a daily construction activity taken to mitigate any public impact. NOBLE TO PARACHUTE PIPELINE STAGING AREAS Due to the size workspace required for pipelines there will be no additional areas needed for staging materials. All pre -fabrication and material storage will be in existing work yards and then hauled to the project site as needed. Williams is planning to have all pipe delivered on stringing truck directly to the site and will be strung along R.O.W. as it is received. Hydrostatic Testing Williams Production RMT (Williams) is planning to hydrostatic test all of the proposed pipelines. A total of four hydro tests will be completed. The proposed 16 inch pipeline will be tested in two sections. Due to drying procedures this pipeline must be tested separately. Two additional tests will be completed on the 12 inch high pressure pipeline and for the 4 inch water line. All pipelines will be hydrostatic tested to meet all DOT specifications. Lines will be tested to one and half time its Maximum Operating Pressures (MAOP), but not to exceed the maximum pressure rating of the pipe. An eight (8) hour test will be completed on each pipeline to insure stability of pipelines. Work hours may vary due to fill times and testing schedules for pipelines. Williams is planning to utilize water from one of their existing well sites to complete the hydro tests. All water will be trucked to the site and stored in approved water storage tanks until all test have been completed. Once all tests have been successfully completed all water will be trucked back to the well site that it originally came from. No fresh water will be required for these tests. No water will be released onto the ground after tests have been completed. ..1.

This SWMP addresses construction activities associated with development of the natural gas resources in the Garfield County area. The Federal Clean Water Act [Section 402(p)] requires that discharges of pollutants to waters of the United States from any point source be regulated by NPDES permits. In November 1990, the USEPA 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 USEPA 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. Construction permits are required for oil and gas activities that disturb one or more acres during the life of the project or are part of a larger common plan of development. The CDPHE considers a common plan of oil and gas development to mean development of several well pads and/or related infrastructure in a contiguous area either during the same time period or under a consistent plan for long-term development. This Parachute -Noble Pipeline SWMP is intended to be periodically updated as needed to address planned developments, new disturbances, and other changes needed to manage storm water and protect surface water quality.

Contact: Mr. Tom Fiore Plant Manger Williams Companies Office: (970) 285-9377 Mobile: (970) 210-1641 e-mail: tom.fiore@williams.com Williams will be in charge of all aspects of this project. Contractor(s) will do the actual construction and grading but all work will be supervised by Williams and all decisions will be made by Williams. October 2006 2 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 2.0 CONSTRUCTION SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Site Location The 12" Parachute -Noble Pipeline begins at the southern termination point of the Noble Gathering Pipeline, within Section 2 of Township 8 South, Range 96 West of the 6th PM, Garfield County, Colorado. The remainder of the pipeline is within Township 7 South, Range 96 West of the 6th PM, Garfield County, Colorado, including Sections 35, 26, 23, 24, 13, 12, 11, & 2. The pipeline ends at a tie-in point with the 30" Cottonwood Pipeline (Section 2, T7S, R96W). The project will consist of approximately 8 miles of pipeline Right -of -Way (ROW). The ROW will average approximately 75 feet in width, resulting in approximately 72.3 acres of land disturbance. The Town of Parachute, Colorado is the nearest population center. Receiving waters include the Spring Creek, Pete and Bill Creek, Dry Creek, Parachute Creek, the Colorado River, one unnamed intermittent stream, and several ephemeral streams. The ultimate receiving water is the Colorado River. 2.2 Site Area Characteristics 2.2.1 Runoff Characteristics and Coefficient Runoff characteristics are based on site topography, soil type, and soil/vegetative cover. Drainage across the pipeline will vary along the length of the pipeline. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the soil along the length of the Parachute -Noble Pipeline consists of five general soil units. • Arvada Loam (6-20 percent slopes): Deep, well drained, moderate sloping to steep soils on fans and high terraces. Permeability is slow, and available water holding capacity is high. Runoff is rapid/ very rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is severe. • Ildelfonso Stony Loam (25-45 percent slopes): Deep, well drained, hilly to steep soils on mesa breaks, sides of valleys, and alluvial fans. Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water holding capacity is low. Surface runoff is medium and the hazard of water erosion is severe, • Potts Loam (3-6 percent slopes): Deep, well drained, moderately sloping soils on mesas, benches, and sides of valleys. Permeability is moderate, and available water holding capacity is high. Surface runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. • Potts Ildelfonso Complex (3-12 percent slopes): Gently sloping to rolling soils on mesas and sides of valleys. Permeability is moderate, and available water holding capacity is high. Surface runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. October 2006 3 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS The native understory vegetation consists of the following shrubs and grasses: streambank wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, mountain big sagebrush, saskatoon serviceberry, lettermans needlegrass, muttongrass, slender wheatgrass, mule -ares, nodding brome, scarlet indian paintbrush, silvery lupine, sulphur wildbuckwheat, mountain snowberry, gambel oak, columbia needlegrass, and elk sedge. The native overstory canopy consists mainly of the following: One seed juniper, Utah juniper, gambel oak. The runoff coefficient value prior to construction will range from 0.56 to 0.70, depending on the topography of the pipeline ROW, and will range from 0.17 to 0.21 after construction, until 70% of pre -disturbance ground cover is achieved.(NRCS TR -55). The estimated vegetated ground cover along this project varies from 20% to 100% depending on aspect and live water presence. In the western most areas directly adjacent to live water with north facing slopes, vegetative ground cover is estimated at 100%. In eastern areas with southeast facing slopes, vegetative ground cover is estimated at 55%. All other non-agricultural areas are considered typical pinyon/juniper woodlands with estimated ground cover ranging from 20%-40% depending on microclimates present. 2.3 CONSTRUCTION SITE CHARACTERISTICS 2.3.1 Construction Site Area Description The vast majority of ground disturbance will be due to pipeline construction. Pipeline corridors are linear features having widths up to 100 feet and lengths of less than a mile to more than several miles. The width of disturbance may vary depending on construction needs and other topographical factors. After a pipeline origin, destination, and preferred route have been identified, the following construction sequence is generally followed: 1. Surveys: topographic, vegetation, wildlife, and archeology, as necessary. 2. Vegetation clearing (as necessary): If conducted, cleared vegetation will be placed in a windrow at the edge of the work area, removed from the construction site, or burned depending on landowner requirements. 3. Topsoil stripping: Topsoil is removed from the work area and stockpiled in a windrow near the edge of the work area. 4. General grading: For pipeline segments that occur in relatively rough terrain, general grading will be conducted to create a safe and workable ground surface. This is generally done to form a relatively level work surface on steep cross slopes and to reduce slopes in undulating terrain (arroyo and wash crossings). 5. Trench excavation: The trench needed for pipeline installation is generally located near the center of the ROW and is created by track -mounted excavators. The trench depth and width will vary on the number of pipes to be installed and the pipe diameter. Generally, a 4-5 foot deep trench will be excavated. Trench spoils are cast into a windrow. 6. Pipe welding and placement: The pipe pieces are laid beside the trench and welded. Long segments of welded pipe are placed within the trench by sideboom dozers. October 2006 4 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 7. Pipe bedding: Trench spoils are handled by excavators equipped with bedding boxes. The bedding boxes remove larger rocks and the fine material is placed beside, and over, the pipe to prevent potential damage to the pipe. S. Trench backfill: Bulldozers move soil from the trench spoils windrow to backfill the trench. 9. General grading: If general grading was conducted to facilitate pipeline construction these materials will be replaced and graded to recreate the pre - construction topography. 10. Topsoil placement: Topsoil will be moved and redistributed across the surface of the disturbed area. 11. Vegetative material replacement/removal: Based upon landowner requirements, stripped vegetation may be hauled off-site or bumed in the work area. At locations where it is required, vegetative material that was stripped and saved prior to topsoil removal will be distributed across the disturbed area. Depending on the type of vegetation and method of seeding, this may occur before or after the disturbed area is seeded. 12. Seeding: The reclaimed disturbed area is seeded. The seed mix will vary depending on location and surface ownership and will generally match the surrounding vegetation. 13. Application of erosion stabilization: Depending on terrain, (e.g. steep slopes and drainage crossings) additional measures may be applied to provide for erosion stability of the reclaimed area. Generally, rolled product will be placed on steep slopes and rolled product and/or rock will be placed at drainage crossings. Once the pipeline has been placed in the trench and backfilled, efforts will be taken to restore the pipeline ROW to its preconstruction conditions or to mitigate for any environmental or other impacts that may have occurred during the construction process Final stabilization is considered complete when 70 percent of the pre -construction ground cover has been re-established. 2.3.2 Schedule of Construction Activities Construction of the necessary improvements and construction of the Parachute -Noble Pipeline is scheduled from October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. Existing and future disturbances are included in this SWMP. BMPs will be installed prior to, during, and immediately following construction as practicable, with considerations given to construction staging, safety, access, and ground conditions at the time of construction. Soil and aggregate materials will be managed so that erosion and sediment transport are minimized. Nearby drainages and water courses will be protected in all cases by appropriate measures. October 2006 5 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 2.3.3 Materials Handling, Loading, and Storage Areas Fuels, pesticides or herbicides, paints or solvents, and other industrial materials associated with construction activities must be handled and stored in a manner as to prevent storm water impacts from occurring. All liquids shall be stored in appropriate containers and properly protected form adverse weather or storm events. By following good housekeeping and best management practices (BMPs), discharges of impacted storm water can be averted. Industrial wastewater shall be properly disposed and not allowed to be discharged to storm water conveyances. 2.3.4 Adjacent Property Descriptions Surrounding land use is primarily for oil and gas exploration and production and, to a lesser extent, for seasonal livestock grazing, farming, and irrigation pasture. October 2006 6 i PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 3.0 POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES Potential pollution sources associated with construction sites and natural gas development include: • Sediment resulting from erosion of soil stockpiles and other areas cleared of vegetation; • Leakage of fuels and lubricants from equipment and spills from re -fueling; • Trash and debris from clearing activities, construction materials, and workers. The most common source of pollution from pipeline 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, anti- freeze, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and grease. Debris from material staging areas, residue from equipment cleaning and maintenance, and solid waste generated from land clearing operations and human activity (trees, brush, trash, etc.) present other potential pollution sources within the construction site. October 2006 7 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 4.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS Structural BMPs will be installed, inspected, and maintained as required by law (refer to section 7.0 "Inspection and Maintenance"). This SWMP will be revised as needed to address new disturbances. Depending on the type and location of new infrastructure 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 ROW located within 100 feet of surface drainages or creeks. If problems are noted, they should be reported to the Site Manager and/or SWMP administrator. Problem areas may be addressed through road maintenance activities, but will likely need to be addressed through BMPs, which will be added to the plan as needed. 4.1 Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls The objective of erosion and sediment controls is to mitigate the release of sediments in 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 before and during construction of the Parachute -Noble Pipeline to minimize possible sediment impacts in storm water runoff. The proposed erosion control features include: • Placement of any topsoil stockpiles along the upstream edge of the ROW to divert run-on. • Installation of silt fence, straw wattles, or straw bales as needed below the top of disturbed slopes (depending on slope gradient, length, and proximity to sensitive areas). • Installation of straw bale/rock check dams as needed in areas of concentrated flow. • Construction of flumes at drainage crossings. • Placement of rolled products, as needed, depending on site-specific conditions. • Permanent seeding of reclaimed pipeline corridors and areas not needed for long- term work access. The types and location of structural BMPs for each disturbed area will be determined as development progresses and construction plans are prepared. BMPs generally function to control sediment through diverting run-on water away from disturbed areas, to control runoff water generated from disturbed areas, or to control erosion by stabilizing the soil surface. October 2006 8 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS • Run-on controls are those features that serve to collect and/or direct run-on water away from disturbed areas. Run-on controls typically include diversion berms, channels, and flumes. • Runoff controls are those features that serve to collect and/or direct runoff water that comes from disturbed areas. These features serve to collect and/or retain runoff water and remove sediment. Runoff controls may include straw bales, check dams, silt fence, straw wattles, diversion benn/channels, catch basins, and slope drains. • Erosion controls are those features that serve to retain soil in-place. Erosion controls may include gravel surfacing, rolled products, rock protection, and vegetation. 4.1.1 Land Grading Grading techniques are a non-structural practice implemented for temporary erosion control and will be used to minimize erosion and facilitate infiltration and plant growth. Techniques should include: surface roughening, terracing slopes, water bars to shorten slope length, embankment protection, diversion berms, etc. Steeper slopes can be terraced. Excavated material will be efficiently moved to areas needing fill or stockpiled. 4.1.2 Straw Bale Check Dams Straw bale check dams, at a minimum, will be installed in areas of concentrated flow. Straw bale check dams are temporary structural controls that should be installed at suitable locations along the pipeline ROW. Straw bale check dams will be necessary at the following locations: • Latitude 39.460895 Longitude -108.075001 • Latitude 39.460784 Longitude -108.074903 • Latitude 39.460703 Longitude -108.074838 • Latitude 39.459857 Longitude -108.073289 • Latitude 39.459101 Longitude -108.072854 • Latitude 39.457532 Longitude -108.070455 • Latitude 39.456715 Longitude -108.068031 • Latitude 39.455914 Longitude -108.067006 • Latitude 39.454998 Longitude -108.066733 • Latitude 39.454357 Longitude -108.066971 • Latitude 39.454178 Longitude -108.067107 • Latitude 39.454168 Longitude -108.067055 • Latitude 39.453895 Longitude -108.067065 • Latitude 39.453694 Longitude -108.066989 • Latitude 39.450437 Longitude -108.063884 • Latitude 39.449639 Longitude -108.063881 • Latitude 39.443768 Longitude -108.061116 • Latitude 39.443389 Longitude -108.061575 October 2006 9 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS • Latitude 39.441509 Longitude -108.063780 • Latitude 39.438038 Longitude -108.065468 • Latitude 39.437879 Longitude -108.065241 • Latitude 39.436186 Longitude -108.064936 • Latitude 39.435633 Longitude -108.064984 • Latitude 39.424774 Longitude -108.061512 • Latitude 39.422660 Longitude -108.061488 • Latitude 39.422579 Longitude -108.061660 • Latitude 39.422275 Longitude -108.068279 • Latitude 39.421989 Longitude -108.064191 • Latitude 39.421926 Longitude -108.062684 • Latitude 39.409193 Longitude -108.080593 • Latitude 39.409115 Longitude -108.080737 • Latitude 39.405107 Longitude -108.082033 • Latitude 39.396561 Longitude -108.084046 • Latitude 39.396406 Longitude -108.084371 • Latitude 39.388698 Longitude -108.077723 • Latitude 39.388493 Longitude -108.077679 4.1.3 Rock Check Dams Rock check dams are structural controls that will be installed in areas of concentrated flow. Rock check dams may be used instead of straw bale check dams in areas where steep slopes, high flows, or long-term exposure are expected to result in failure or frequent maintenance of a straw bale structure. 4.1.4 Soil Berms Soil berms are structural controls that may be used to divert drainage away from areas of concern or to direct flow toward sediment control structures. Where used, soil berms shall be constructed of soil with sufficient fines to minimize flow through the berm. Berms shall be at least 18 -inches tall and will be compacted in place by wheel rolling with suitable rubber -tired, heavy equipment. 4.1.5 Uphill Topsoil Stockpile/Diversion Berm In order to divert surface runoff from up gradient areas away from the pipeline, salvaged topsoil may be placed on the uphill side of the pipeline. The topsoil stockpile may be placed and graded to form a diversion berm that will direct surface water away from the pipeline. Uphill topsoil stockpile and diversion berms are recommended in all areas of steep slopes. October 2006 10 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 4.1.6 Culvert Inlet and Outlet Protection Installation of culverts is a structural control that may be needed in certain areas where the pipeline intersects ephemeral drainages. The culvert inlet area will include a sediment sump that is at least 4 feet by 4 feet by 1.5 feet deep. The culvert outlet area will include an energy dissipation feature. Acceptable energy dissipation will include rock lining or turf reinforcement matting (TRM). Rock lining will be 2 to 4 -inch diameter rock at least 6 inches deep and having plan dimensions of at least 4 feet wide by 10 feet long. The area of rock lining should be prepared by removing 6 to 8 -inches of soil. The shallow excavation should be filled with rock and the rock secured in-place by bucket tamping or wheel -rolling. The rock outlet should be installed to promote lateral spreading of water as it flows across the rock. Culvert inlet/outlet protection is necessary at the following locations: • Latitude 39.459793 Longitude -108.073148 • Latitude 39.459709 Longitude -108.073024 • Latitude 39.446088 Longitude -108.063540 • Latitude 39.445449 Longitude -108.063615 • Latitude 39.444409 Longitude -108.060944 • Latitude 39.444046 Longitude -108.060771 • Latitude 39.443161 Longitude -108.061832 • Latitude 39.442702 Longitude -108.068413 • Latitude 39.418710 Longitude. -108.068185 • Latitude 39.417197 Longitude -108.068486 • Latitude 39.415436 Longitude -108.069965 • Latitude 39.414428 Longitude -108.070481 • Latitude 39.397094 Longitude -108.083146 • Latitude 39.396915 Longitude -108.083305 • Latitude 39.396759 Longitude -108.083559 4.1.7 Right of Way (ROW) Drainage Relief Culverts, rolling dips, or water bars are a structural control that may be used to provide drainage of water from ROW surfaces as needed to drain low areas or to reduce the amount of water flowing on the ROW surface. ROW drainage relief should be provided as needed and in accordance with generally accepted practices. Depending on the location and type of drainage relief installed, additional sediment control features may be needed such as sediment removal at the inlet and erosion protection at the outlet. October 2006 11 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 4.1.8 Silt Fence Silt fences are a structural control that will be installed at the down gradient edge of the ROW and other fill slopes located within 100 feet of a surface drainage. Silt fences may also be required in areas where steep slopes below the ROW will likely result in fast flow of water from the location to nearby drainages. 4.1.9 Straw Wattles/Straw Bale Barriers Straw wattles/bales are structural controls that upon implementation will capture and keep sediment on the slopes. Straw wattles/bales are useful to temporarily stabilize slopes by reducing soil creep and sheet and rill erosion until permanent vegetation can be established. Straw bale barriers are necessary at the following locations: • Latitude 39.462449 Longitude -108.077769 • Latitude 39.461997 Longitude -108.076911 • Latitude 39.460332 Longitude -108.074251 • Latitude 39.458943 Longitude -108.072884 • Latitude 39.458587 Longitude -108.072808 • Latitude 39.458251 Longitude -108.072437 • Latitude 39.458110 Longitude -108.072257 • Latitude 39.457752 Longitude -108.071654 • Latitude 39.457499 Longitude -108.069738 • Latitude 39.457094 Longitude -108.068632 • Latitude 39.456705 Longitude -108.067739 • Latitude 39.456662 Longitude -108.067528 • Latitude 39.455595 Longitude -108.066694 • Latitude 39.452880 Longitude -108.066670 • Latitude 39.452143 Longitude -108.066154 • Latitude 39.451667 Longitude -108.065219 • Latitude 39.451452 Longitude -108.064536 • Latitude 39.449023 Longitude -108.063878 • Latitude 39.446263 Longitude -108.063574 • Latitude 39.445327 Longitude -108.063435 • Latitude 39.444243 Longitude -108.060690 • Latitude 39.441862 Longitude -108.063296 • Latitude 39.441415 Longitude -108.063478 • Latitude 39.425710 Longitude -108.063326 • Latitude 39.424783 Longitude -108.061513 • Latitude 39.409060 Longitude -108.080792 • Latitude 39.408906 Longitude -108.081172 • Latitude 39.396145 Longitude -108.084501 October 2006 12 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS • Latitude 39.395461 Longitude -108.084244 • Latitude 39.394922 Longitude -108.083803 • Latitude 39.393960 Longitude -108.083272 • Latitude 39.386437 Longitude -108.078211 • Latitude 39.385617 Longitude -108.077943 • Latitude 39.385043 Longitude -108.077800 Straw wattles are necessary at the following locations: • Latitude 39.447973 Longitude -108.063957 • Latitude 39.436589 Longitude -108.064868 • Latitude 39.431952 Longitude -108.064561 4.1.10 Seeding of Disturbed Areas Project areas disturbed by construction will be revegetated as a non-structural control as soon as practicable following construction. Areas that will be revegetated will primarily be cut and fill slopes associated with grading activities. The permanent mix, rate, application method, and supplemental materials will be selected by the reclamation contractor. It is anticipated that this will include suitable grass species supplemented by cereal crops. 4.1.11 Mulching Long—stemmed straw or hay mulch is a non-structural control that will be applied evenly at a rate of 1.5 to 2 tons per acre and crimped into the soil. Method of application will depend on the slopes to be mulched. A mechanical crimper is limited to slopes 3:1 and flatter. Hydraulic mulching may be necessary for steeper slopes, difficult installations, and in areas with limited access. 4.1.12 Erosion Control Blanket Erosion control blankets are porous fabrics and are manufactured by weaving or bonding fibers from organic or synthetic materials. Erosion control blankets are a non-structural control that is installed on steep slopes or in channels to prevent erosion until final vegetation is established. However, blankets can also be used as separators or to aid in plant growth by holding seeds, fertilizers, and topsoil in place.

Other wastes may include the following: • Trees and shrubs from clearing operations • Trash and debris from construction materials and workers • Sanitary sewage Each of these wastes will be managed so as to not contribute to storm water pollution. Trees and shrubs will be stacked along the downgrading slope 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 contained in portable toilets or other storage tanks with waste materials and regularly pumped and transported off-site for disposal at approved facilities. 4.4.2 Fuels and Materials Management Fuels and materials management will comply with Williams policy and procedures. 4.4.2.1 Spill Response/Clean-Up Procedures In the event a spill occurs during construction, immediate spill response will consist of the following procedures: • Stopping the spill • Stopping the spill from leaving the ROW • Contact a Williams Environmental Coordinator immediately October 2006 15 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS Petroleum Products 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 pipeline ROW. Oil 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 Ieaks 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. Personnel should be reminded about proper storage and handling of materials during weekly subcontractor safety meetings. Other Chemicals Products Management Additional materials may be used and stored on site for use during construction of the pipeline. 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 lay -down 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 contamination. October 2006 16 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 4.4.3 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 suitable off-site 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. Any waste product from maintenance will be contained 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 ROW, 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. 4.4.4 Off -Site Soil Tracking Off-site soil tracking will be limited by installing a tracking pad at the point of beginning and the point of termination of the project. The tracking pad will consist of gravel/cobble stone with a 4" to 6" diameter average. The pads will be as wide as the ROW (approximately 100 feet), and 70 feet long. Maintenance of the tracking pads will occur as necessary and additional gravel will be applied. October 2006 17 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 5.0 NON -STORM WATER DISCHARGES No non -storm water discharges are anticipated from the project. This project intersects three perennial streams; however, these streams will be flumed briefly until construction surrounding them is completed. Possible exceptions include fire prevention/suppression and dust control activities. October 2006 18 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 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. Areas which are not used for facilities, access roads, material storages 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. Other Areas that may include facilities, access roads, material storage yards, and other work areas will be stabilized with the use of permanent, physical erosion reduction methods. October 2006 19 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 7.0 INSPECTIONS 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 areas of the construction site: • Disturbed areas without stabilization • Material storage areas • Check dams • Silt fence • Surface water diversions • Down -gradient areas • New access roads • Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site. 3. Inspections will occur at least once every 14 calendar days and after a significant precipitation or snow melt event that could cause erosion. 4. Permanently stabilized areas will be inspected at least once per month. 5. A log of inspections will be maintained. 6. Disturbed areas and material storage areas that are exposed to precipitation will be inspected for evidence of pollutants entering nearby drainages. 7. 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 straw bales or silt fence. 8. Roads used for vehicle access will be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment transport. MAINTENANCE 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. Williams 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. October 2006 20 PARACHUTE -NOBLE PIPELINE SWMP WILLIAMS 7.1 Records Management All inspection forms and revisions to the Parachute -Noble Pipeline will be maintained and documented on the inspection log. The completed inspection forms will be placed into the SWMP upon inspection. The records management program will include the following: 1. Following each inspection, the SWMP will be modified as necessary to include additional controls designed to correct identified problems. 2. 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 reaches final stabilization. 3. Actions taken to modify any storm water control measure will be recorded and maintained with the SWMP. 4. If no deficiencies are found during the inspection, the report will contain certification that the site is in compliance with the SWMP.

The silt fence detains sediment -laden water, promoting sedimentation behind the fence Implementation A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier consisting of filter fabric stretched across and attached to supporting posts, entrenched, and, depending upon the strength of fabric used, supported with plastic or wire mesh fence. Silt fences trap sediment by intercepting and detaining small amounts of sediment -laden runoff from disturbed areas in order to promote sedimentation behind the fence. Silt fences are preferable to straw bale barriers in many cases. Laboratory work at the Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council has shown that silt fences can trap a much higher percentage of suspended sediments than can straw bales. While the failure rate of silt fences is lower than that of straw bale barriers, there are many instances where silt fences have been improperly installed. The following layout and installation guidance can improve performance and should be followed: • Use principally in areas where sheet flow occurs. • Don't use in streams, channels, or anywhere flow is concentrated. Don't use silt fences to divert flow. • Don't use below slopes subject to creep, slumping, or landslides. • Select filter fabric that retains 85% of soil by weight, based on sieve analysis, but that is not finer than an equivalent opening size of 70. • install along a level contour, so water does not pond more than 1.5 ft at any point along the silt fence. • The maximum length of slope draining to any point along the silt fence should be 200 ft or less. • The maximum slope perpendicular to the fence line should be 1:1. Silt Fence Implementation Continued • Provide sufficient room for runoff to pond behind the fence and to allow sediment removal equipment to pass between the silt fence and toes of slopes or other obstructions. About 1200 ft2 of ponding area should be provided for every acre draining to the fence. • Turn the ends of the filter fence uphill to prevent storm water from flowing around the fence. • Leave an undisturbed or stabilized area immediately down slope from the fence where feasible. • Silt fences should remain in place until the disturbed area is permanently stabilized. Materials • Silt fence fabric should be woven polypropylene with a minimum width of 36 in. and a minimum tensile strength of 100 lb force. The fabric should conform to the requirements in ASTM designation D4632 and should have an integral reinforcement layer. The reinforcement layer should be a polypropylene, or equivalent, net provided by the manufacturer. The permittivity of the fabric should be between 0.1 sec -1 and 0.15 sec -1 in conformance with the requirements in ASTM designation D4491. • Wood stakes should be commercial quality lumber of the size and shape shown on the plans. Each stake should be free from decay, splits or cracks longer than the thickness of the stake or other defects that would weaken the stakes and cause the stakes to be structurally unsuitable. • Staples used to fasten the fence fabric to the stakes should be not less than 1.75 in. long and should be fabricated from 15 gauge or heavier wire. The wire used to fasten the tops of the stakes together when joining two sections of fence should be 9 -gauge or heavier wire. Galvanizing of the fastening wire will not be required. • There are new products that may use prefabricated plastic holders for the silt fence and use bar reinforcement instead of wood stakes. If bar reinforcement is used in lieu of wood stakes, use number four or greater bar. Provide end protection for any exposed bar reinforcement. Straw Bate Barrier Description and Purpose A straw bale barrier is a series of straw bales placed on a level contour to intercept sheet flows. Straw bale barriers pond sheet- flow runoff, allowing sediment to settle out. Implementation A straw bale barrier consists of a row of straw bales placed on a level contour. When appropriately placed, a straw bale barrier intercepts and slows sheet flow runoff, causing temporary ponding. The temporary ponding provides quiescent conditions allowing sediment to settle. Straw bale barriers also interrupt the slope length and thereby reduce erosion by reducing the tendency of sheet flows to concentrate into rivulets, which erode rills, and ultimately gullies, into disturbed, sloped soils. Straw bale barriers have not been as effective as expected due to improper use. These barriers have been placed in streams and drainage ways where runoff volumes and velocities have caused the barriers to wash out. In addition, failure to stake and entrench the straw bale has allowed undercutting and end flow. Use of straw bale barriers in accordance with this BMP should produce acceptable results. Materials • Straw Bale Size: Each straw bale should be a minimum of 14 in. wide, 18 in. in height, 36 in. in length and should have a minimum mass of 50 lbs. The straw bale should be composed entirely of vegetative matter, except for the binding material. • Bale Bindings: Bales should be bound by steel wire, nylon or polypropylene string placed horizontally. Jute and cotton binding should not be used. Baling wire should be a minimum diameter of 14 -gauge. Nylon or polypropylene string should be approximately 12 -gauge in diameter with a breaking strength of 80 lbs force. • Stakes: Wood stakes should be commercial quality lumber of the size and shape shown on the plans. Each stake should be free from decay, splits or cracks longer than the thickness of the stake, or other defects that would weaken the stakes and cause the stakes to be structurally unsuitable. Steel bar reinforcement should be equal to a #4 designation or greater. End protection should be provided for any exposed bar reinforcement. Check Dams Description and Purpose A check dam is a small barrier constructed of rock, gravel bags, sandbags, straw bales, fiber rolls, or reusable products, placed across a constructed swale or drainage ditch. Check dams reduce the effective slope of the channel, thereby reducing the velocity of flowing water, allowing sediment to settle and reducing erosion. Implementation General Check dams reduce the effective slope and create small pools in swales and ditches that drain 10 acres or less. Reduced slopes reduce the velocity of storm water flows, thus reducing erosion of the swale or ditch and promoting sedimentation. Use of check dams for sedimentation will likely result in little net removal of sediment because of the small detention time and probable scour during longer storms. Using a series of check dams will generally increase their effectiveness. A sediment trap may be placed immediately upstream of the check dam to increase sediment removal efficiency. Design and Layout Check dams work by decreasing the effective slope in ditches and swales. An important consequence of the reduced slope is a reduction in capacity of the ditch or Swale. This reduction in capacity must be considered when using this BMP, as reduced capacity can result in overtopping of the ditch or swale and resultant consequences. In some cases, such as a "permanent" ditch or swale being constructed early and used as a "temporary" conveyance for construction flows, the ditch or swale may have sufficient capacity such that the temporary reduction in capacity due to check dams is acceptable. When check dams reduce capacities beyond acceptable limits, there are several options: • Don't use check dams. Consider alternative BMPs. • Increase the size of the ditch or swale to restore capacity. . Maximum slope and velocity reduction is achieved when the toe of the upstream dam is at the same elevation as the top of the downstream dam. The center section of the dam should be lower than the edge sections so that the check dam will direct flows to the center of the ditch or swale. Check dams are usually constructed of rock, gravel bags, sandbags, and fiber rolls. A number of products manufactured specifically for use as check dams are also being used, and some of these products can be removed and reused. Check dams can also be constructed of logs or lumber, and have the advantage of a longer lifespan when compared to gravel bags, sandbags, and fiber rolls. Straw bales can also be used for check dams and can work if correctly installed; but in practice, straw bale check dams have a high failure rate. Check dams should not be constructed from straw bales or silt fences, since concentrated flows quickly wash out these materials. Rock check dams are usually constructed of 8 to 12 in. rock. The rock is placed either by hand or mechanically, but never just dumped into the channel. The dam must completely span the ditch or swale to prevent washout. The rock used must be large enough to stay in place given the expected design flow through the channel. Log check dams are usually constructed of 4 to 6 in. diameter logs. The logs should be embedded into the soil at least 18 in. Logs can be bolted or wired to vertical support logs that have been driven or buried into the soil. Gravel bag and sandbag check dams are constructed by stacking bags across the ditch or swale, shaped as shown in the drawings at the end of this fact sheet. Manufactured products should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If grass is planted to stabilize the ditch or swale, the check dam should be removed when the grass has matured (unless the slope of the swales is greater than 4%). The following guidance should be followed for the design and layout of check dams: • Install the first check dam approximately 16 ft from the outfall device and at regular intervals based on slope gradient and soil type. • Check dams should be placed at a distance and height to allow small pools to form between each check dam. • Backwater from a downstream check dam should reach the toes of the upstream check dam. • A sediment trap provided immediately upstream of the check dam will help capture sediment. Due to the potential for this sediment to be re -suspended in subsequent storms, the sediment trap must be cleaned following each storm event. • High flows (typically a 2 -year storm or larger) should safely flow over the check dam without an increase in upstream flooding or damage to the check dam. • Where grass is used to line ditches, check dams should be removed when grass has matured sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale. • Gravel bags may be used as check dams with the following specifications: Materials Gravel bags used for check dams should conform to the requirements of gravel bag berms. Sandbags used for check dams should conform to sandbag barrier guidelines. Fiber rolls used for check dams should conform to fiber roll requirements. Straw bales used for check dams should conform to straw bale barrier requirements. Fiber Rolls Description and Purpose A fiber roll consists of straw, flax, or other similar materials bound into a tight tubular roll. When fiber rolls are placed at the toe and on the face of slopes, they intercept runoff, reduce its flow velocity, release the runoff as sheet flow, and provide removal of sediment from the runoff. By interrupting the length of a slope, fiber rolls can also reduce erosion. Implementation Fiber Roll Materials • Fiber rolls should be either prefabricated rolls or rolled tubes of erosion control blanket. Assembly of Field Rolled Fiber Roll • Roll length of erosion control blanket into a tube of minimum 8 in. diameter. • Bind roll at each end and every 4 ft along length of roll with jute -type twine. Installation • Locate fiber rolls on level contours spaced as follows: o Slope inclination of 4:1 (H:V) or flatter: Fiber rolls should be placed at a maximum interval of 20 ft. o Slope inclination between 4:1 and 2:1 (H:V): Fiber Rolls should be placed at a maximum interval of 15 ft. (a closer spacing is more effective). o Slope inclination 2:1 (H:V) or greater: Fiber Rolls should be placed at a maximum interval of 10 ft. (a closer spacing is more effective). • Turn the ends of the fiber roll up slope to prevent runoff from going around the roll. • Stake fiber rolls into a 2 to 4 in. deep trench with a width equal to the diameter of the fiber roll. o Drive stakes at the end of each fiber roll and spaced 4 ft maximum on center. o Use wood stakes with a nominal classification of 0.75 by 0.75 in. and minimum length of 24 in. • If more than one fiber roll is placed in a row, the rolls should be overlapped, not abutted. Culvert Inlet/Outlet Protection a. Normal metal culvert installation using riprap around the inlet and outlet of culverts. Also use geotextile (filter fabric) or gravel filter beneath the riprap for most installations. ( ilapteel fora Wisconsin's Forestry Best Management Practice for Water Quality, 1995 Description and Purpose Culvert inlet/outlet protection typically consists of gravel riprap that act as energy dissipation features, thus allowing for the settling of sediments, while preventing piping form occurring at the inlet or outlet. Riprap should consist of small to medium gravels that layered to achieve uniform density. Inspection and Maintenance • Inspect BMPs prior to forecast rain, daily during extended rain events, after rain events, weekly during the rainy season, and at two-week intervals during the non - rainy season. • Repair or fill any unnecessary gaps or holes in the inlet/outlet of culverts Erosion Control Blankets bury upper allow of rruralrig 1, 0. s1: til B" Win Irnum OIIrIICI of mulched irai Mand nurtzfri over •Tis mel top of mulcted area r�pra99 rd~rlrplas' 4' ?minim anrl•1 47:1: 1;. *f,Fr. minlmum W ym ' ce etspl.r ■kmd apah ale' tind oenkar of r Description and Purpose Made out of environmentally friendly, biodegradable material, erosion control blankets are installed on disturbed slopes that are requiring stability. They stabilize slopes, and provide for an increased water holding capacity, which ultimately increased the rate and establishment of desired vegetative cover. Implementation Erosion control blankets should installed smoothly on the surface of the soil, loose enough to allow for vegetation establishment. The blankets are to be in complete contact with the soil to prevent any tenting. The upslope end of the blanket should be buried in a trench with ideal dimensions of 6"x6". Where one blanket ends and another begins, there should be 4-6 inches of overlap. Inspection and Maintenance • Inspect blankets prior to forecast rain, daily during extended rain events, after rain events, weekly during the rainy season, and at two-week intervals during the non - rainy season. • Repair any unnecessary gaps or holes in the blankets. • Inspect to make sure that there is uniform contact with the soil.
