RE: Fifth Amendment (PDPA-9-09-6118) to Pipeline Development Plan (PDP12908)
Marathon Oil Company Fresh and Produced Water System Pipeline
Dear Mr. Ryland,
Upon review, we have found that the September 21, 2009, application for a Pipeline
Development Plan Amendment is technically complete and does not represent a substantial
change from the original permit. Attached to this letter is the approved Fifth Amended
Administrative Permit with exhibit. The exhibit portion of the Amendment references and
replaces the previous Amended Administrative Permits.
Project Summary. The original permit was for the installation of 13.72 miles of 8" diameter
steel pipe and 4" diameter Flexpipe for the transport of produced water and fresh water. The
pipeline location is northwest of Parachute in Sections 5S 96W, 6S 96W, and 6S 97W.
This amendment allows two 4" diameter Flexpipe water lines to be placed in 16,000 feet of
trench instead of the 8" steel pipe and 4" Flexpipe originally permitted. The location of this
change to two 4" Flexpipes is where Enterprise is installing the Cascade Pipeline Lateral
under Grading Permit 9-09-1247.
Upon receiving this letter and signed permit, Marathon can commence with installing the two
4" Flexpipe lines. Within a week, a recorded version of the attached permit will be sent to
Marathon and Olsson Associates.
Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
ohn Nie oehner, Project Engineer
