RE: Revised Second Amendment - Pipeline Development Plan
Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC Natural Gas Gathering Pipeline for Marathon Well Fields
Dear Phil,
Upon review, we have found that the February 5, 2009 application for a Pipeline Development
Plan Amendment does not represent a substantial change from the original permit. Attached to this
letter is the approved and recorded Amended Administrative Permit. Exhibit A, attached to the
Amended Administrative Permit, contains the identical conditions that were attached to the original
December 11, 2008 permit for the pipeline.
Project Sumary. The original Administrative Permit allowed the construction of a 3.7 mile
long 20 -Inch pipeline, a 5,5 mile long of 18 -inch pipeline, and the Jackrabbit Compressor
Station. Tho County previously summarized this project, along with conditions for
approval, in a letter dated November 24, 2008. In the first amendment to the permit,
Enterprises Gas Processing LCC obtained the County's permission to install two
additional pipelines along side of the original pipelines. Through this amendment, the
County approves a change in the construction date restrictions that were put in place to
prevent disturbing the nesting of birds. In accordance to the guidance provided by the Mr.
J,T. Romatke of the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the seasonal restrictions will be as
follows: ' R�� 1.f
• Cooper Hawks - April 15'torrp'leofnests
• Red Tailed Hawks - April 15" to _ ust 1 _ 'thin D ile of nests 1
• Greater 5tjf3 Grouse - April 1't to May 31a within
Upon review of the submitted documents against the required standards and criteria in Section
9.07.05, Staff has made a determination of Approval with Conditions for the Second Amended
Administrative Permit.
Do not hesitate to contact this office if you have any questions.
Very my yours,
