Sandy Hotard and I attended the Town of Parachute Board of Trustees meeting last night. The council unanimously voted to issue a Watershed District Permit for the 30" gathering line. I will receive a hard copy of this permit and will digitize and email this to you when I receive it next week. The Town staff was complementary of the application materials and felt that all issues had been clarified. Trustee Loshke requested that during the pipeline pre-construction meeting that we emphasize the following issues with the pipeline workforce: A. Obey speed limits. B. Dispose of trash in proper locations versus along side roads. C. Even though you may not be from the area, please respect and care about our community. I indicated to the Town Council that these items would be passed on at the pipeline pre-construction meeting on Thursday, June 15, 2006 at 9 a.m. at the Mancamp building. I wanted to verify the status of our application and comments from Garfield County. We submitted the application to Garfield County on 4126106. The 28 day review period for Garfield County ended on 5126/06. The 14 day call-up deadline expires today, June 9, at midnight. I will work with Garfield County and Bargath, Inc. to get the revegetation bond in place as soon as possible and I will relay any additional issues from Garfield County to Bargath, Inc.

My comments are as follows: Reclamation • It is recommended that the applicant make some changes to the seed mix. The applicant's proposed mix is listed below. It is recommended that sideoats grarna be deleted from the mix as it does better on the east side of the state then it does here. Also the amount of seed to be used per acre is low. It is recommended to add Indian ricegrass (Achantheum hymenoides) at 4 lbs. per acre and also Galleta (Pleuraphis jamessii) at 2lbs per acre. If these two species are added and the sideoats grama is deleted it would total 13 lbs. per acre PLS. Final Reclamation Seed Mixture (as proposed by applicant) Common Name ~ientific Name •ounds Pure live Seed IPLS) per acre lkali Sacaloo iSporobofuS airoides 1.0 Sideoals Grama '1ooteilua cur/jpendula 2.0 Ba~n Wildrye ~eymus cinereus 2.0 Nestem whealgrass Pascopyrum smithii 4.0 ~OTALPLS 9.0 • A revegetation security in the amount of$2500 per acre is recommended. The applicant has quantified the area of disturbance as 98 acres. A bond of$245,000 is recommended. The applicant shall provide the Vegetation Management Department with the original tags from each seed bag. The seed mix in the final approved plan shall match the seed mix used in the field. Do not use a seed mix containing yellow sweet clover (Meli/otus ojfcinalis) or annual yellow sweetclover (M indicus). The amount of seed specified to be planted in the Plan shall match the quantity of seed used in the field. • The security shall be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the Reclamation Standards in the Garfield County Weed Management Plan. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact the County, upon successful revegetation establishment, to request an inspection for security release consideration. Sensitive Area Survey In the application under Tab I 1, Sensitive Area Survey, the applicant cites the Garfield County Zoning Resolution, 9.07.04 (IO) on page I. On page 3 the applicant states that the studies are "typically not welcome and are many times not allowed on private property", the applicant further states that they respectfully decline to provide the County with a copy of the study. These regulations were updated October 11 2005. It is my interpretation that the regulations are in place and that the applicant should comply with 9.07.04 (10).
