RE: Amendment - Pipeline Development Plan PDP12908
Marathon Oil Company Fresh and Produced Water System Pipeline
Dear Doug,
Upon review, we have found that the August 31, 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 Second Amended Administrative
Permit. The exhibit portion of the Amendment references and replaces the Amended
Administrative Permit, contains the conditions that were attached to the original January
19th, 2009, permit for the pipeline, and well as those for the Amendment, with map
depictions.
Project Summary. The Amended Administrative Permit allowed the construction of a 13.72 -
mile long pipeline system that included both 8 -inch steel and 4 -inch Flexpipe waterlines for
produced water and freshwater, respectively, including a 5820' detour from the original
pipeline route. Previous amendments changed the pipe to two (2) 4 -inch Flexpipe
waterlines.
In this Fourth Amendment to the permit, the County approves a change to allow co- location
of the pipeline in an EPCO, Inc. Right of Way. An agreement speaks to the agreement
between the two companies to share this route.
Upon review of the submitted documents against the required standards and criteria in
Article IX, Section 9.113, Staff has made a determination of Approval with Conditions for an
amended administrative permit. This letter is to follow-up the email communications that we
shared regarding this process and permit amendment.
As always, feel free to contact this office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dustin Dunbar AICP, MPA
