Management (BLM) for a right -of-way gran t under Section 28 of th e Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 , as amended, to authorize the construction, operation, and maintenance of a 12 -inch diameter natural gas pipeline and re l ated faci li ties in Garfie ld County, Co lorado. The project is approximately 4.3 miles in length, of which 0.8 miles are located on fee -lands and 3.5 miles are located on BLM lands administered by the Glenwood Springs Fie ld Office. The project is located south and west of Rifle, Co lorado in Sections 1, 9, 10, 11 , and 12 of Township 7 South, Range 94 West in the Rulison and North Mamm Peak USGS Quadrang les. Project area maps are included in Appendix A. The approximate area of temporary disturbance for construction within the right-of-way is 26 acres and total temporary disturbance is 29 acres . Table 1-1 below describes the width, length and acreage of the right-of-way (ROW), and acreage for temporary u se areas (TUA), and di sturbed areas (DA ) th at wi ll b e u se d duri ng constructi on .

The pipeline would transport existing and future natural gas produced by Tom Brown, Inc. (TBI) in the Rifle, Co lorado area for process ing at the Rifle C lough Compressor St ation . TBI plans to dril l more than 40 new we ll s in 2004, all of w h ich are dedica ted to CGR's gath ering systems. Produ ction from th ese we ll s is ex p ected t o in crease b y 35 mmscf/d, in creasin g t ot al thr o ugh p ut fr om 15 mmsc f/d to 5 0 mm scf/d. Sys t em throu ghput will in cr ease to 100 mmscf/d in th e n ex t four ye ars . The proposed pip e lin e wi ll d e-bottleneck th e ex istin g gat h erin g system s and wi ll ensure s uffici ent capacit y to c arry CGR 's current proj ectio n of fu t ure gas vo lum e s. • 2.0 PRE-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES • • 2.1 DESIGN FACTORS CGR wi ll design and bu ild the pipeline according to the Nat ional Electrical Code (NEC), Department of Transportation 40 CFR Part 192, and ASME B31.8 standards. Additionall y, the facilities will be designed, constructed, and operated in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regu lations pertaining to pipeline construction and operation. Proposed pipe is as follows: 12.75 " OD, 0.219" wt, FBE Coated 12-14 mils, ERW, PSL2, Grade B - pressure-tested with Nitrogen to 900 psig (12 5 % of 720 psig MAOP). The proposed pipeline will be installed in a trench offset 10 feet from the existing CGR pipeline and will require a construction right-of-way width of 50 feet. The majority of the construction right-of-way will overlap the existing right-of-way and will utilize the previously disturbed footprint. A launcher and receiver will be located at opposite ends of the pipeline, with risers, blow-downs, and valve sets where appropriate along the right-of-way. 2.2 PERMITS REQUIRED Th e G lenwoo d Sp ri n gs Field Office of th e Bureau of Land Managem ent w ill iss ue th e Right -of- Way Grant wi th st ipul atio ns and th e No ti ce to Proceed. In addition , th e fo ll owing permit s w ill be obt ain ed and ad h ered t o : • BLM R ight -of-W ay Grant an d Noti ce to Proceed • Garfield Co un ty road crossin g pennit and, i f applicabl e, Garfie ld County Special Use Permit • Co lorado General Construction Stormwater Permit • Colorado Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit • Colorado Air Emission Permit • Army Corp of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 A copy of the Right-of-Way Grant with stipulations and permits are included in Appendix B. 3.0 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES 3.1 ACCESS Access to the proposed pipeline route would be via County Road (CR) 317 (Beaver Creek Road), CR 325 (Porcupine Creek Road), and CR 329 (Spruce Creek Road). New roads would not be constructed and improvements to existing roads would occur within the previously disturbed area. Roads used for the project would be maintained and/or repaired as necessary to co nditions equal to or better than those which existed prior to project -related use . 3.2 ENGINEERING SURVEYS Th e co n stru ction right -o f-w ay w ill be m ark ed prio r t o co n stru ction at approx im at e ly 2 00 -fo ot int ervals w ith lath s an d fla gg in g . The r ight -o f-w ay st akin g will consist of markin g th e edges of 2 • the construction right -of-way boundaries , temporary use area boundmies, and disturbed area boundaries . Survey station numbers will be marked on the lat h s . Laths wi ll be maintained throughout construction and will not be removed until after revegetation activities have been completed. • • 3.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT To prevent the accidental release of hazardous materials and petroleum products, construction, operation, and maintenance activities shall comply with CGR's Spill Prevention, Containment, and Countermeasure (Spill) Plan. The Spi ll Plan is included in Appendix C. 3.4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT The construction right -of-way and temporary use areas will be maintained in a sanitary condition at all times and waste materials on the project will b e disposed of promptly at an appropriate waste disposal facility. Waste includes , but is not limited to, human w a ste, trash, garbage, ashes, welding rods, etc. Portab le toilets will be available on-site . Liquid and solid waste generated during construction of the project will be disposed of in an approved manner at an appropriate facility so as not to impact air, water, soi l, vegetation, or wi ldlife . 3.5 FIRE PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION CGR's F ire Prevention and Suppression (Fire) P lan estab lishes standards and practices that will minimize the risk of fire danger and, in case of fire, provide for immediate suppression. The Fire Plan is attached in Appendix D. 3.6 PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION The following sections include general descriptions of the various pipeline construction phases . Also included in these sections are specific app licab le mitigation requirements that will be implemented by the Contractor. The following operations are typical in a construction spread . 3.6.1 Clearing and Grading Clearing, topsoiling and grading will be limited to the minimum area required for safe and efficient construction. Clearing will be performed only to the extent necessary to allow for construction activities . The ground surface will not be grubbed or c leared of vegetation less than four inches in height when possible. Every effort wi ll be made to salvage root systems. Large vegetation, such as trees and shrubs, will be cleared from the right-of-way and stockpiled or windrowed at the edge of the approved workspace for lat er us e in reclamation . Topsoil will be removed and stockpi led. Where topsoil is availab le, the top 4 to 6 inches of soil wi ll be removed over the trenchline and in areas requiring grading . Topsoi l and cleared vegetation wi ll be stockp il ed together on BLM l and s. Topsoi l wi ll be stockpi led separate from c leared vegetation on fee-lands. The r ight-of-way wi ll be graded only to the extent necessary to 3 • create safe and efficient pipeline installation conditions. Topsoil will not b e salvaged over th e existing CGR pipelin es. • • 3.6.2 Trenching The ditch will be excavated and sloped in accordance with OSHA specifications. The cover from top of pipe to ground level as graded to pre-construction contours will be in conformance with DOT regulations. Cover will typically be 36-inches in depth. Greater depths of cover will be required at road crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, and waterbodies. As a minimum, the ditch will be excavated to a depth to allow a clearance of 18 inches between the CGR pipeline and other pipelines or underground facilities. Machine excavation will not be performed closer than 5 feet from any existing pipeline encountered in the ROW unless authorized by the pipeline owners/operators . Existing pipeline locations will be marked in the field and 48-hour prior notification given to the operator of the underground utility . Where rock is encountered, tractor-mounted mechanical rippers or rock trenching equipment may be used to facilitate excavation. The trench will be excavated an d subsoil mat erial stockpiled separately from topsoil stockpiles. Based on field conditions, gaps will be made in topsoil and subsoil stockpiles to avoid ponding or excessiv e diversion of n atural runoff during storm events . 3.6.3 Pipe Installation Pipe installation will include stringin g, bending for horizontal or vertical angles in the alignment, weldin g th e pipe segments together, x-ray inspection, coating the joint areas to prevent corrosion, and then lo wering-in and padding as described in greater detail below. 3.6.3.1 Stringing Pipe will be hauled by truck to the pipeline ROW. Each joint of pipe will be unloaded and placed parallel to the ditch . 3.6.3.2 Bending After the joints of pipe are strung along the ditch, individual joints of pipe will be bent to accommodate hori z ontal and vertical changes in direction. Field bends will be made utilizing a hydraulically operated bending machine. Where the deflection of a bend exceeds the allowable limits for a field-bent pipe, factory (induction) bends will be installed. 3.6.3.3 Welding After the pipe joints are bent, the pipe is lined up end-to-end and clamped into position. The pipe is then welded in confo1mance with 49 CFR Part 19 2, Subpart E. "Welding of Steel Pipelines" and API 1104, "Standard for Welding Pipe lin es and Re lated Facilities" . 4 • • • 3.6.3.4 X-Ray Inspection Welds will b e visually inspected by a qualified in spector and by nondestructive rad io graphic methods. At a minimum , radiographic inspection will be conducted in accordance with DOT requirements. A specialized contractor, certified to perform radiographic insp ection, wi ll be emp lo ye d to perform thi s work. Any defects wi ll be repaired or c ut out as required under the specified regu lati ons and standards . 3.6.3.5 Coating To prevent corrosion, the pipe w ill b e ex ternally coated w ith fusion bonded epoxy coatin g prior to de li very. Aft er welding, field joints wi ll be coated with eit her tape and prim er or shrink sleeves. Before th e pipe is low ered into th e ditch , the pipeline coating will be visuall y inspected and tested with an electronic detector, and any faults or scratch es w ill be repaired. 3.6.3.6 Lowering-in and Padding Once the pipe coating operation has been comp leted , a section of the pip e will b e low ered into the ditch. Side-boom tractors wi ll be u sed to si multaneously lift the pipe , position it over the ditch, and lower it in place. Inspection will be conducted to verify that minimum cover is provided; the trench bottom is free of rocks, debris , etc .; external pipe coating is not damaged; and the pipe is properly fitted and install ed into th e ditch . Specialized padding machines wi ll be used to sift soil fines from th e exc avated subsoi l to provide rock -free pipeline padding and bedding. In rocky areas, padding material or a rock shi e ld wi ll be u sed t o protect th e pipe . Topsoil will not b e u sed to pad the pipe. 3.6.3.7 Backfilling Backfi lling will begin aft er a section of th e pipe h as been successfull y p laced in th e ditch and final inspection has been compl eted . B ackfilling will be conducted using a bulldo zer, rotary auger backfill, padding machine or other suitable eq uipm ent. Backfilling the trench will generally use the subsoil previous l y excavated from th e trench, except in rocky areas where imported select fill material maybe needed . Backfi ll will be graded and compacted, where necessary for ground stability, by being tamped or walked in with a wheeled or track vehicle . Compaction will be performed to the extent that there are no voids in the trench. Any excavated materials or materials unfit for backfill will be utilized or properly disposed of in conformance with app licable laws or regulations. 3.6.4 Cleanup Cleanup activities will be initiated as soon as practicable after backfilling activities have been completed. A ll co nstructio n -related debris will be removed and disposed of at an approved d isposal area . The right -of-way and temporary use areas will be graded as near as possibl e to the pre- construc ti on contours and natural runoff and drainage patterns will be restored. Stockpi led topsoil w ill b e redistributed over th e trench and other portions of th e right -of-way from wh ich th e topsoil was salvaged . T opsoil w ill be left in a roughened condition . 5 • • • Permanent waterbars wi ll installed according to th e guid e line s in th e Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (attached in Appendix E). Vegetat ive mulch and excess rock will be us ed to reduce erosion po t ent ial on ELM-admini stered land s by providing additional surface relief structure. Vegetative debris salvaged during clearing and grading operations will b e distributed across the right-of-way. Layering of rock may be used on the surface of erodib le so ils in some critical areas to reduce erosion and res tore appearance of native surface. Suitabl e sites include naturally rocky s lopes and areas that have a natural grave l, cobble, or boulder veneer on the surface. Suitab le sites will be determined by the CGR Representative in conjunction with the BLM on ELM-administered lands. On fee -lands, vegetation removed during clearing operations will be removed and rocks will be removed from the right-of-way to approximate pre-construction conditions. Vegetation and excess rock will be disposed of at a location determined by the landowner. All existing improvements, such as fences, gates, irrigation ditches, and cattle guards, will be maintained and repaired by the Contractor to at least pre-construction condition and to the satisfaction of the landowner or BLM field representative to minimize disturbance to the p ub lic. OHV barriers may be required by the BLM. Suitabl e sites will b e determined by th e CGR Rep r esentativ e in co njunction with the BLM on ELM-administered lands . 3.6.5 Revegetation Every attempt will be made to see d disturbed areas within 24 hours of c ompl etin g topsoil replacement and install ation of permanent soi l erosion and sed im ent control measures . If an area is not seeded within 24 hours of topsoil replacement, the seed will need to be incorporated into the soil. All disturbed areas will be reseeded with the appropriate seed mix and rates by vegetation type as determined by the BLM. Seed mixes will be purchased from commercial seed vendors and must be state-certified weed-free mixtures . Seed bag tags will be collected and submitted to the BLM to confirm that the seed was purchased from a commercial seed vendor and was tested and certified . Seeding rate will be listed as pounds per acre of pure live seed (PLS). The BLM- approved seed mixes for this project are listed in the stipulations attached to the Right-of-Way Grant. Seed will be placed in direct contact with the soil at an average depth of 0.5-inches, covered with soil, and firmed to eliminate air pockets around the seeds. Seed will be applied using a rangeland seed drill with a seed release and agitation mechanism suffic ient to allow seeds of various sizes and densities to be p lanted at the proper seeding depth. Broadcast seeding will be employed only in areas w ;1 ere drill seeding is unsafe or physically impossib le. Broadcast application rates will be twice that of drill rates . Im m ed iate ly after broadcasting, the seed wi ll be uniformly raked, ch a in ed, or dragge d to in corporate seed to a sufficient seedi n g depth . If th e area is see ded p1ior to a so il crust formin g (within 24 hours of topsoil replac em ent), harro wing or raking may not b e 6 • • • necessary. Fall seeding would b e completed after September I and prior to pro longed ground frost. If necessary, spring seeding will be compl eted w h en th e ground thaw s and prior to May 15. 3.6.6 Road and Pipeline Crossings Where the proposed line crosses existing access roads or parallels a county road within its established ROW, it will be buried to a minimum depth of 48" below the surface, coated and cathodic protection will be installed. Pipeline crossings of unsurfaced, lightly traveled, or rural roads will be made with a mechanical ditching machine or a backhoe. Installation at these locations , including cleanup and restoration of road surfaces, will usually be completed within one day. In such cases, provisions will be made to detour or control passage of traffic during construction. All applicable permits will be obtained for road and utility line crossings. (Please see Appendix F for typical road crossing design.) 3.6.7 Drainage Crossings The proposed project crosses Porcup in e Creek, one intermittent tributary to Porcupine Creek, and two interm itt ent tributaries to Spru ce Creek. The project do es not cross any wetlands . T h e project area is located within th e Lower Co lorado River basin. Waterbodies are anticipated to be dry at the time of co n struction. T emporary equipment brid ges wi ll be installed at a ll crossings of wat er bodi es which are flowin g . If any waterbodies are flowing at the time of th e cons truction , waterbody flow will b e routed across th e trench usin g a flume pipe and every attempt wi ll b e made to complete th e crossing within 24 hours . T he flume pipe will be installed prior to trenching and will b e removed after backfilling activities are completed. Spoi l from the waterbody crossings wi ll be p laced at least 10 feet away from the water's edge and sediment barriers will be used to prevent the flow of spoil into the waterbody. If there is no flow at the time of construction, the waterbodies will be crossed using typical upland construction techniques and the spoil will be stockpiled outside the creek channel. No fill will be placed below the level of the ordinary high water mark and no disposal sites are required for excess excavated material. 3.6.8 Pneumatic Testing The entire pipeline will be tested in compliance with DOT regulations ( 49 CFR Part 192.515 and 192.507). Prior to testing the pipeline, the pipeline will be cleaned by passing poly pigs through the interior of the line. The pipeline will then be filled with air, pressurized, and held for the duration of the test. The length of the segment tested may depend on topography . 7 • 4.0 POST-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES • • 4.1 MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION CGR w i ll maintain the area as required by the stipu l ations in th e Right-of-Way Grant. Maintenance of the right-of-way includes, but is not limited to, soil stabilization and reseeding. All existing improvements affected by construction and maintenance of this authorization will be kept in as good as, or better than, original condition. CGR wi ll participate in the maintenance of roads used to access the right-of-way and ancillary facilities in conjunction with other facilities. The project will be operated according to natural gas industry standards. Supervisors and field personnel will monitor and control the system by driving throughout the project area inspecting facilities on a periodic basis. Travel down the reclaimed right-of-way will be kept to a minimum and utilize the least impacting vehicle feasible (i.e . a four-wheeler). Disposal of any liquid and solid waste generated during maintenance and operation of the pipeline will be done at an approved facility in an environmentall y sound and approved manner. CGR wi ll control nox iou s weeds as required in th e BLM stipulations attached to the Right-of- Way G r an t and any Garfi eld Cou nty re qu irem ent s. 4.2 ABANDONMENT Upon abandonment of th e pip elin e, a N oti ce of Intent to A bandon will b e fil ed w ith th e B LM for final recommend ations regardin g s urface recl amation . A ft er abandonment of th e as soci ated produc tion fa ci liti es, th e gas p ip elin es w ill b e abandon ed ac cordin g to BLM sp ec i fic ati ons. A t th e tim e o f fin al ab a nd onm ent , th e intent of re cl am ation will b e to r eturn disturb ed ar ea s to near natura l condit ions. All dis turbed surfaces wi ll be re-conto ured to the approximate natural contours, with reclamation to be performed within six months, weather permitting, after fina l abandonment. The surface of disturbed areas will be re-contoured to blend all cuts, fills, road berms, and borrow ditches to be natural in appearance as compared to the surrounding terrain . Disturbed areas will be restored as near as practical to their original condition . Where applicable, these conditions may include the reestablishment of natural drainage systems, the reestablishment of appropriate soil conditions, and the reestablishment of vegetation as specified . 5.0 MITIGATION MEASURES The following protective measures have been adopted by CGR to address specific resource values and environmental concerns associated with the project. Additional mitigation measures may be attached as stipulations to the BLM Right-of-Way Grant. 5.1 NOXIOUS WEEDS No x iou s wee ds will b e controll ed as stipul ated in th e B LM stipul ations attach ed to th e Ri ght -of- Wa y G rant. In addition , equipm ent will arriv e on the ri ght -of-way cl ea n and fr ee of mud from 8 • • • other construction projects. After rec lam ation, mon itoring and treatment of any in fested areas wi ll be conducted as specified in the BLM st ipulation s. 5.2 EROSION Temporary and permanent erosion control measures will be implemented to contro l erosion and transport of sediment. Erosion and sediment controls will be used and maintained during all phases of construction. Selection of appropriate erosion controls will be selected based on soil properties, steepness of the slope, and anticipated surface flow or runoff. Erosion control measures are detailed in the Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan in Appendix B. 5.3 THREATENED, ENDANGERED, AND SENSITIVE SPECIES There are no endangered or threatened species along the project route. Penstemon harringtonii, a BLM-sensitive species and state rare species, is present in eleven locations along the route. Mitigation measures are being developed with the Glenwood Springs BLM Field Office and will include a combination of the following: • avoidance, where feasib le;/ / • identification of source populations adjacent to the right-of-way; and • reseeding the right-of-way with seed co ll ected from source pop ul ations, if necessary. ¥.._ 5.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES A C lass I literature search and a Class ITI l evel cultural resource assessment were conducted for access roads and the pipeline corridor determine whether cultural resources were present, and if present, the effect the project would have on these resources. One prehistoric lithic scatter and an isolated find were recorded as a result of the inventory. All were field evaluated as not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places . Th e following mitigation measures will be followed during construction, operation, and maintenance of the project: • All persons in th e area who are associated with this project must be informed that if anyon e is found disturbing historic , archaeological , or scientific resources, including collecting artifacts , the person or persons will be subject to prosecution . • The BLM authorized officer must be notified , by telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. Activities must stop in the vicinity of the discovery and the discovery must be protected for 30 days or until notified to proceed by the authorized officer. • If in connection with operations under this contract the project proponent, his contractors, subcontractors, or the employees of any of them, discovers, encounters or becomes aware of any objects or sites of cultural or paleontolo g ic al value or scientific interest such as historic or prehistoric ruins , graves or grave markers, fossils, or artifacts, the proponent shall immediately s u spend a ll operations in th e vic init y of th e cultu ra l or paleontological resource 9 • • • 5.5 and shall notify th e BLM authorized officer of th e findings . Operations may resume at th e discovery site upon receipt of written instructions and authorization by the authorized officer. AIR QUALITY Air quality impacts would be mitigated by following the Dust Control Plan included in Appendix G. Any additional requirements li sted in the Emission Permit would also be impl emented . 10 • APPENDIX A PROJECT MAPS I • • ------------------, • Project Location r ~ i ~ ~ !L-~~~~~~~-::::::::--~~~~~~~~to;ES~CR;IPTI;ON;--~~~7Lo:c~at:io~nMM~op~~~~~~~--, ~' curnr ~~~ PORC UPINE PIPELINE PROJECT ./CJlt0~uCDl'oJ" ~L~~~~~~r==+~~~;oo;--~~~I • " G . s •<s o "• c < s DRAWN BY : CL DATE DRAWN : 6/2004 FILE NA~E : Exhibit 1-A ~ :::~EYED B~Ts TRICON-SHEEHA N.

The proposed pipeline project would loop an existing CGR 6-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and would connect CGR's Bentley and Porcupine Gathering Systems. The pipeline would transport existing and future natural gas produced by Tom Brown, Inc. (TBI) in the Rifle, Colorado area for processing at the Rifle Clough Compressor Station. TBI plans to drill more than 40 new we ll s in 2 004, all of which are dedicated to CGR's gathering systems. Production from these wells is expected to increase by 35 mmscf/d, increasing total throughput from 15 mmscf/d to 50 mmscf/d. System throughput will increase to 100 mmscf/d in the next four years. The proposed pipeline will de -bottleneck the existing gathering systems and will ensure sufficient capacity to carry CGR' s current projection of future gas volumes. T he project is approximately 4.3 miles in length, of which 0.8 miles are located on fee- lands and 3.5 miles are lo cated on BLM lands administered by the G lenwood Springs Fie ld Office . The project is lo cated so uth and west of Rifle, Colorado in Sections 1, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of Township 7 So uth , Range 94 West in th e R ulison and North Marnm Peak · USGS Quadrangles . CGR will design and build the pipeline in accordance with the National E lectrical Code, Department of Transportation, Title 40 CFR Part 192 , and ASME B3 l .8 standards. Facilities will be designed, constructed, and operated in comp lianc e with the Occ upation al Health and Safe ty Act (OSHA) regulations pertaining to pipe lin e c onstruction and operation. The right-of-way construction width will be 50 feet. A launcher and receiver will be located at opposite ends of the pipeline, with risers, blow-downs, and valve sets where appropriate a lon g the right-of-way. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE Construction activities are expected to be completed in 4 to 6 weeks and are scheduled for summer or fall 2004. The standard open cut construction method will be used to install the pipeline . This method includes clearing, grading, trenching, pipe stringing, pipe bending, welding, joint coating, padding where required, lowering-in, backfilling, pneumatic testing, cleanup, an d revege t ation. C learing, topsoiling and grading wi ll be limited to the minimum area required for safe and efficient cons tru ction. C learing will b e performed only to the ex te nt necessary to allow for construction activities . The ground surface will not be grubbed or cleared of vegetation less than four inch es in he ight when possible. Every effort will b e made to CGR Porcupine Loop Pipeline Proj ect -3-Attachment to General Pennit Application • • • salvage root system s. Large vegetation, such as trees and shrubs, will be cleared from the right-of-way and stockpiled or windrowed at the edge of the approved workspace for later us e in reclamation. Topso il will b e removed and s to ckpi led. Where topsoil is availabl e, the top 4 to 6 inches of soil will be removed over the trenchline and in areas requiring grading. Topsoi l and cleared vegetatio n will be stockpi l ed together on BLM lands. Topsoil will be stockpi led separat e from c leared vegetation on fee-lands. The right-of-way wi ll be graded only to the extent necessary to create safe and e fficient pipe line installation conditions. Topsoil wi ll not be sa lvaged over the existing CGR pipelines. The ditch wi ll be excavated and s loped in accordance with OSHA specifications. The cover from top of pipe to ground level as graded to pre-cons truction contours will be in conformance with DOT regulations. Cover will typically be 36-inches in depth. Greater depths of cover will be required at road crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, and waterbodies. As a minimum, the ditch wi ll be excavated to a depth to a ll ow a clearance of 18 inc h es between th e CGR pipe lin e and other pipelines or underground fac iliti es. Machine excavation will not be performed closer than 5 feet from any ex isting pipeline encount ered in the ROW unless a uthori ze d by the pipeline owners/operators. Existing pipeline lo cations will be marked in the field and 48-hour prior notification given to the ·op erator of the und erground utility . Where rock is encountered, tractor-mounted mechanical nppers or rock trenchin g equ ipm ent may b e used to facilitate excavati on. The trenc h will be excavated an d sub so il material stockp il ed s eparatel y from topsoil stockpil es. Based on field co nditions , ga p s wi ll b e made in topsoil a nd s ubsoil stockpiles to avo id ponding or excessive divers ion of natura l runoff during storm events. Pipe install ation wi ll include stringin g, bending for horizontal or vertica l ang les in the alignment, we lding the pipe segments together, x-ray inspection , coating the joint areas to prevent corrosion, and then low ering-in and padding as described in greater detail below. Pipe wi ll be hauled by truck to the pipeline ROW. Each joint of pipe will be unloaded and placed parallel to the ditch . After the joints of pipe are strung along the ditch, individual joints of pipe wi ll be bent to accommodate horizontal and vertical changes in direction. Fie ld bends will be made utili z ing a hydraulically operated b end ing machine . Where the deflection of a bend excee ds th e all owab le limits for a field -be nt p ip e, fac t ory (induction) bends wi ll be installed. A ft er t h e pip e joints are bent, the pip e is lin ed up end -to -end and clamped in-,o position. The pip e i s th en w e ld ed in conformance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subp art E. "Welding of Stee l Pipelines" and API 1104, "Standard for We ldin g Pipelines and Related Faci lities ". CGR Porcup ine Loop Pipe line Projec t -4 -A n;i c hme nt to Genera l P ermi t Application • • • Welds will be visually inspected by a qualified inspector and by nondestructive radiographic methods . At a minimum, radiographic inspection will be conducted in accordance with DOT requirements . A specialized contractor, certified to perform radiographic inspection, will be employed to perform this work. Any defects will be repaired or cut out as required under the specified regulations and standards. To prevent corrosion, the pipe will be externally coated with fusion bonded epoxy coating prior to delivery. After welding, field joints will be coated with either tape and primer or shrink sleeves. Before the pipe is lowered into the ditch, the pipeline coating will be visually inspected and tested with an electronic detector, and any faults or scratches will be repaired. Once the pipe coating operation has been completed, a section of the pipe will be lowered into the ditch. Side-boom tractors will be used to simultaneously lift the pipe, position it over the ditch, and lower it in place. Inspection will be conducted to verify that mi.nimum cover is provided; the trench bottom is free of rocks, debris, etc.; external pipe coating is not damaged; and the pipe is properly fitted and installed into the ditch. Specialized padding machines will be used to sift soil fines from the excavated subsoil to provide rock -free pipeline padding and bedding. In rocky areas, padding material or a rock shield wi ll be used to protect the pipe . Topsoi l will not be used to pad the pipe. Backfilling will begin after a section of the pipe has been successfully placed in the ditch and final inspection has been completed. Backfilling will be conducted using a bulldozer, rotary auger backfill, padding machine or other suitable equipment. Backfi llin g the trench w ill generally use the subsoil previously excavated from the trench, except in rocky areas where imported se lect fill material maybe needed . Backfill will be graded and compacted, where necessary for ground stability, by being tamped or walked in with a wheeled or track vehicle. Compaction will be performed to the extent that there are no voids in the trench . Any excavated materials or materials unfit for backfill will be utilized or properly disposed of in conformance with app li cable laws or regulations. Cleanup and restoration will begin as soon as possible after backfill activities are comp leted. The right-of-way will be graded to the original contours and natural runoff and drainage patterns will be restored.

The proposed pipeline project would loop an existing CGR 6-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and would co nn ect CGR's Bentley and Porcupine Gathering Systems. The pipeline would transport existing and future natural gas produced by Tom Brown, Inc. (TBI) in the Rifle, Colorado area for processing at the Rifle Clou gh Compressor Station. TBI plans to drill more than 40 new wells in 20 04 , all of which are dedicated to CGR's gathering systems. Production from these w e ll s is expected to increase by 35 mmscf/d, increasing total throughput from 15 mmscf/d to 50 mmsc£'d. System throughput will increase to 100 mmsc£'d in the next four years. The proposed pipeline will de-bott leneck the existing gathering systems and will ensure sufficient capacity to carry CGR's current projection of future gas volumes. The project is approximately 4.3 mi les in length, of which 0 .8 miles are lo cated on fee- lands and 3 .5 miles are located on BLM lands administered by the G lenwood Springs Fie ld Office. The proj ect is located south and west of Rifle, Colorado in Sections 1, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of Township 7 South , Range 94 West in the Ru li son and North Mamm Peak USGS Quadrangles. CGR wi ll d esign and bui ld the pipe li ne in accordance with the National E lec trica l Code, Department of Transportation, T itl e 4 0 CFR Part 192, and ASME B31.8 standards . Fac ili t ies will be designed, constructed, and operated in comp li ance wi th the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) regulations pertaining to pipeline co nstruction and operation. The right-of-way construction width will be 50 feet. A launcher and receiver will be located at opposite ends of the pipeline, with risers, blow-downs, and valve sets where appropriate along the right-of-way. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE Construction activities are expected to be completed in 4 to 6 weeks and are scheduled for summer or fall 2004. The standard open cut construction method will be used to install the pipeline. This method includes clearing, grading, trenching, pipe stringing, pipe bending, welding, joint coating, padding where required, lowering-i n, backfilling, pneumatic testing, cleanup, and revegetation . Clearing, topsoi ling and gntding will be limited to the minimum area required for sa:e and efficient co nstruction. C learing wi ll be performed on ly to the extent necessary to a ll o w fo r con stru cti o n ac tiv it ies.

Large veget ation , such as trees and shrubs, wi ll be cleared from the right -o f-way an d stockpi led or w indrowed at the edge of the approved workspace for lat er use in rec lamation. Top soil will be remo v ed and stockpil ed. Wh ere to p soil is avail abl e, th e top 4 to 6 inc hes of soil will be removed over the trenchline and in areas requiring grading. Topsoil and cl eared vege tation wi ll be stockpi led togeth er on BLM lands. Topsoi l will be stockpi led separate from c leared vege tat io n on fee-lands. Th e right-of-way wi ll be graded on ly to the ex t ent nece ssary to create safe and efficient pipe line installation conditions. Topsoi l wi ll no t be salvaged over the existing CGR pipelines. The di tch wi ll be excavated and sloped in accordance with OSHA specifications. The cover from top of pipe to ground leve l as graded to pre-construction contours will be in conformance wi th DOT regulations. Cover will typically be 36-inches in dep th. Greater depths of cover will be required at road crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, and waterb odies. As a minimum, the ditch will be excavated to a depth to allow a clearance of 18 inch es b etw ee n th e CGR pip elin e and other pip elines or und erground fac ilit ies. Machine ex cav ation will not b e performed closer than 5 fe et from an y existin g pip elin e encountered in the ROW unless authorized by the pipeline owners/operators. Existing pipe li ne locations will be marked in the field and 48 -hour prior notification given to the operator of the underground utility. Where rock is encountered, tracto r-mounted mechanical nppers or rock trenching equipment may be used to faci li tate excavation. Th e trench will be ex cav ated and subsoil material stockpil ed separately from topsoil sto ckpil es. Based on fi eld con ditions, gap s w ill b e made in top soil an d subso il stockp iles to avoi d p ondi ng or exces sive divers ion of natural runoff during storm event s. Pipe installation will include stringing, bending for horizontal or vertical angles in the a lignment, we lding the pipe segments together, x-ray inspection, coating the joint areas to prevent corrosion, and then lowering-in and padding as described in greater detail below. Pipe will be hauled by truck to the pipeline ROW. Each joint of pipe will be unloaded and placed parallel to the ditch. After the joints of pipe are strung along the ditch, individual joints of pipe will be bent to accommodate horizontal and vertical changes in direction. Field bends will be made utilizing a hydrau lically operated bending machine. Where the deflection of a bend exceeds the allowable limits for a field-bent pipe, factory (induction) bends will be ins tall ed. After th e pip e joi n ts arr bent, th e p ipe is lined up end-to-end and clam p ed into p o '>it ion. Th e pipe is then we lded in conformance w ith 49 CFR Part 192 , Subpart E . "Welding of • Stee l P ipe lin es" and API 110 4, "Standard for We lding Pipe lin es and Re lated Facil ities". CGR Porcupine Loop Pip e line Project (8) Attachment to Construction Dewatering- Industrial Waste water Di scharge Application • • • We lds will be vis u ally inspected by a qualified inspector and by nondestru cti ve radiographic methods. At a minimum, radiographic inspection will be conducted in accordance with DOT requirements. A specialized contractor, certified to perform ra diographi c inspe ction, will be employed to perform this work. Any defects will b e repaired or cut out as required under the specified regulations and standards. To prevent corrosion, the pipe will be externally coated with fusion bonded epoxy coating prior to delivery. After welding, fie ld joints will be coated with either tape and primer or shrink sleeves . Before the pipe is lowered into the ditch, the pipeline coating will be visually inspected and tested with an electronic detector, and any faults or scratches will be repaired . Once the pipe coating operation has been completed, a section of the pipe will be lowered into the ditch . Side-boom tractors will be used to simultaneously lift the pipe, position it over the ditch, and lower it in place. Inspection will be conducted to verify that minimum cover is provided; the trench bottom is free of rocks, debris, etc.; external pipe coating is not damaged; and the pipe is properly fitted and installed into the d itch. Specialized padding machines will be used to sift soil fines from the excavated subsoil to provide rock-free pipeline padding and bedding . In rocky areas, padding material or a rock shield will be used to protect the pipe. Topsoil will not be used to pad the pipe . Backfilling will begin after a section of the pipe has been successfu ll y placed in the ditch and final inspection has been completed. Backfilling will be conducted using a bulldozer, rotary auger backfill, padding machine or other suitable equipment. Backfilling the trench will generally use the subsoil previously excavated from the trench, except in rocky areas where imported select fill material maybe needed. Backfill will be graded and compacted, where necessary for ground stability, by being tamped or walked in with a wheeled or track vehicle. Compaction will be performed to the extent that there are no voids in the trench. Any excavated materials or materials unfit for backfill will be utilized or properly disposed of in conformance with applicable laws or regulations . Cleanup and restoration will begin as soon as possible after backfill activities are completed. The right -of-way will be graded to the original contours and natural runoff and drainage patterns will be restored. Topsoil will be redistributed over the trench and other portions of the right -of-way from which the topsoil was salvaged and pern1anent erosion control measures will be installed. Disturbed areas will be seeded with seed mixes approved by the BLM and fee-landowner . WASTEWATER SOURCES Wastewater sources for the project are groundwater and stormwater that may accumulate in the trench. Wastewater must be removed from the trench prior to pip e lowering -in and tie -in activities .

PROJECT DESCRIPTION • • Canyon Gas Resources , LLC (CGR) has applied to th e B ureau of Land Management (BLM) for a right -o f-way grant under Sectio n 2 8 of the Mineral Leasi n g Act of 192 0 , as amende d, to construct, operate, and maintain a 12 -in ch diameter natural gas pipeline and related facilities in Garfie ld County, Colorado. The proposed pipeline project would loop an ex istin g CGR 6 -inch diameter natural gas pipeline and wou ld connect CGR's Bentley and Porc upin e Gath ering Systems. The p ip e line would transport ex istin g and future natural gas produced by Tom Brown, Inc . (TBI) in the Rifle, Co lo rado area for processing at the Rifle Clough Compressor Station. TBI plans to drill more than 40 new wells in 2 004, all of which are dedicated to CGR's gathering systems. Production from th ese we ll s is expected to increase by 35 mmscfi'd, increasing total throughput from 15 mmscfi'd to 50 mmscfi'd . System throughput will increase to 100 mmscfi'd in the next four years. T h e proposed pipeline will de-bott leneck the existing gathering systems and will ensure sufficient capacity to carry CGR's current projection of future gas vo lum es. The project is approximately 4.3 mile s in length , of which 0 .8 miles are lo cat ed on fe e- lands an d 3.5 miles are located on BLM l and s a dministered by the G lenwood Springs Fie ld Office . The project is lo cated so uth and west of Rifle, Co lo ra do in Sectio ns 1, 9, 10 , 11, and 12 of Township 7 S outh , Range 94 West in the R ulison and N orth Mamm Peak ' U SGS Quadrangles . CGR will design and build th e pip e lin e in acc ord ance with th e Natio n a l Electrica l Code, D epartment of Transportation, Tit le 4 0 CFR Part 19 2, and ASME B3 l .8 standards. Facilities will b e d es i gne d , constructed , and op erate d in comp li ance w ith th e Occ upation a l H ea lth and Safet y Act (O SHA) re g ulation s p ert ainin g to pip e li n e construction an d operation . Th e right -of-way cons tru ction width wi ll be 5 0 feet. A launcher and receiver will be lo cated at opposite ends of the pipe li ne , wit h risers, blow -downs, and valve sets w here appropriate a long the righ t-of-way. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE Constrnction act ivit ies are expected to be comp leted in 4 to 6 weeks and are schedu led for summer or fall 2 004 . The standard open cut constmction method will be used to insta ll th e pipeline. This method in c lud es clearing, gradi ng , trenching , p ipe stringing, pipe bending, we lding, joint coat in g, paddin g w h ere req ui red, l owering-in , backfilling, pneumatic testing, cleanup, and revege tat ion . C lea ring , top s oiling and gradin g will b e limit ed to th e minimum area required for safe and efficient co nstmction. C learing wi ll be p erfom1e d only to th e extent necessary to allow for constmction ac tiviti es. Th e gro und surface wi ll not b e gmbbed o r cleared of vege tation les s than four in ch es in hei ght \v h en po ss ible. Every e ffort will be made to CGR Porcupin e Loop Pi pe lin e P ro j ect A tt ::!ch m e nt to Appl ica ti on for Co n s tru cti on P em1i t • • • salvage root systems. Large vegetation, such as trees and shrubs, will be cleared from the right-of-way and stockpiled or windrowed at the edge of the approved workspace for later use in reclamation. Topsoil will be removed and stockpiled. Where topsoil is avai lable, the top 4 to 6 inches of soil will be removed over the trenchline and in areas requiring grading. Topsoil and cleared vegetation will be stockpiled together on BLM lands . Topsoil will be stockpiled separate from cleared vegetation on fee -lands. The right-of-way will be graded only to the extent necessary to create safe and efficient pipeline installation conditions. Topsoil will not be salvaged over the existing CGR pipelines. The ditch will be excavated and sloped in accordance with OSHA specifications. The cover from top of pipe to ground level as graded to pre-construction contours will be in conformance with DOT regulations. Cover will typically be 36-inches in depth. Greater depths of cover will be required at road crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, and waterbodies. As a minimum, the ditch will be excavated to a depth to allow a clearance of 18 inches between the CGR pipeline and other pipelines or underground facilities. Machine excavation will not be performed closer than 5 feet from any existing pipeline encountered in the ROW unless authorized by the pipeline owners/operators. Existing pipeline locations will be marked in the field and 48-hour prior notification given to the ' operator of the underground uti li ty . Where rock is encountered, tractor-m ounted mechanical nppers or rock trenching equipment may be used to facilitate excavation. The trench will be excavated and subsoil material stockpiled separate ly from topsoil stockpiles . Based on field conditions, gaps will be made in topsoil and subsoil stockpiles to avo id ponding or e_xcessi ve diversion of natural runoff during storm events. Pipe installation will include stringing, bending for horizontal or vertical angles in the alignment, welding the pipe segments together, x-ray inspection, coating the joint areas to prevent corrosion, and then lowering -in and padding as described in greater detail below. Pipe will be hauled by truck to the pipeline ROW. Each joint of pipe will be unloaded and placed parallel to the ditch. After the joints of pipe are strung along the ditch, individual joints of pipe will be bent to accommodate horizontal and vertical changes in direction. Field bends will be made utilizing a hydraulically operated bending machine. Where the deflection of a bend exceeds the allowable limits for a field -bent pipe, factory (induction) bends \viil oe installed. After the pipe joints are bent, the pipe is lined up end-to-end and clamped into position. The pipe is then welded in conformance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart E. "Welding of Stee l Pipelines" and API 1104 , "Standard for Welding Pipelines and Related Facilities".

The p urpo se of thi s plan is to provid e a description of hazardous materials management, spill prevention and spi ll response/cleanup measures associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. This plan includes the following components: • transportation, inventory, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials guidelines; • spill prevention practices; • emergency response procedures; and • notification and documentation measures. CGR and contractor personnel are to be thoroughly familiar with this plan and its contents prior to initiating construction on the Porcupine Loop project. 1.1 REGULATORY OVERVIEW Major legislation pertaining to hazardous materials includes the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compliance, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. Numerous other federal, state, and loc al reg ulations also govern th e use, storage, transport, production, and disposal of hazardous materials. Some of the key requ irements of these laws are outlined in the following: • Title 29, CFR, Part 1910.1200 (hazard communication standards) • Title 27, CFR, Part 55 (storage and use of explosives) • Title 40, CFR, Parts 112, 260 to 263 and 279 (hazardous wastes definitions, standards for hazardous waste generators, and requirements for Spill Prevention, Containment and Countermeasure Plans) • Title 49, CFR, Parts 171to180 (hazardous mate1ials transportation) • Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Instruction Memorandum 94-253. Title 40, CFR, Part 1910.101 to .111 and .120 (OSHA regulations) • Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, Section 301 to 303 (emergency planning), Section 304 (emergency release notification), and Secti on 311 and 312 (community right-to-know reporting req ui rements) This plan is intended to comply with and compliment existing regulations pe11aining to the safe use of hazardous materials. Persons responsible for handling hazardo us materials for this project will be trained in the proper use/management of the materials and will be familiar with all • applicable laws , polici es, procedures, and best managem ent practices (BMPs) r elated to th em. • • 2.0 TRAINING Th e Contractor will provide basi c hazardous materials management, spill prevention and response training to cons truction and in spection personnel. Addit ional training will be provided to all personne l who will be involved with the transportation and storage of fuels or hazardous substances, equipment maintenance, and spill response . Persons accountable for carrying out the procedures specified herein will be designated prior to construction and informed of their specific duties and responsibilities with respect to environmental compliance and hazardous materials . The Contractor is required to maintain a record of those workers who have received training . At a minimum, this training will include the following : • a discussion of individual responsibilities; • an overview of all regulatory requirements; • methods for the safe handling and storage of hazardous materials and petroleum products; • sp ill prevention procedures; • operation and location of spi ll contro l materials ; • inspect ion procedures for spi ll containment equipment and materials; • emergen cy respons e procedures; • u se of personal protective eq uipm ent and spill cleanup eq uipm ent ; • procedures for coordinating with emergency response teams; and • agency notifi cat ion req ui rements. 3.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Construc ti on, operation, and maintenance of the project will require the use of certain potentially hazardous materials such as gasoline , diesel fuel, lubricating oils , hydraulic fluids, paints, and solvents . By definition, hazardous materials (substances and wastes) have the potential to pose a significant threat to human health and the environment based upon their quantity, concentration, or chemical composition. Hazardous materials will be stored in the construction storage yard and not on the right -of-way. When transported, stored and disposed of properly as descri bed below, the ri sks associated with thes e materials c an be r educed substantially. 3.1 TRANSPORTATIO N OF HAZ ARDOUS MATE RI ALS Pro c edures for loading and transporting fuels and other haz ardous materials will meet the minimum requirements established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other pertinent requirements. Hazardous materials will be transported in DOT approved containers at all times. Prior to transporting hazardous materials, appropriate shipping papers wi ll be completed . Vehicles carrying hazardous materials will be eq uip ped with cleanup materials to co ntain a small spill shou ld one occur during transport In add iti on, vehicles transporting such materials w ill b e properly signed (p lacarded ) and/or marked. Prior to transportin g haz ardous materials, vehicles will b e inspected for leakage and other pot ential safety problems . The Contractor will ensure that vehicle drivers are prop er ly trained to respond to and report spills, 2 • leakage, and/or accidents involving h azardous materia ls (see Sec tion 2.0). • • All hazardous mat erials used for the proj ect wi ll b e properly con tai nerized and lab eled at all times, includ in g during transportation. Small er DOT approved con tainers wi ll be used on-site to transport needed amounts of hazardous materials to a specific location . Transfer of materials from large to small containers will not be done by hand pouring, but will be accomplished using appropriate equipment including pumps, hoses, and safety equipment. These smaller service containers will also be clearly labeled. 3.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INVENTORY The Contractor will provide a complete inventory to CGR of all substances that will be used during construction of the pipeline. The inventory will include a list of all fuels, oils and hazardous substances that are typically expected to be on-site during construction, quantities stored on-site, and the federal and state reportable quantities for each substance. The Contractor will also provide the MSDSs for fuels, oils, and hazardous substances to be utili zed during construction activities which, if released, may pose a threat to human health or the environment. Hazardous materials that wi ll be us ed during co nstruction , operation, and maint enan ce of the project will be identifi ed on th e Hazardous Subst anc es Inventory Form included in Appendix A . 3.3 STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Hazardous materials , petroleum products, lubricants, paints and coatin gs will not b e stored w ithi n 100 feet of any waterbody. If topographic or sit e-spec ifi c co ndition s do not allow for stationary equ ipm ent, such as pumps or generators, to be p laced in upland areas, the stationary equipment shall be stored in secondary containment structures in accordance with the Spill Plan. Cleanup materials, including absorbent spill pads and plastic bags, will also be stored in these areas . 3.3.1 Storage Requirements Security: Hazardous materials will be stored in secure areas to prevent damage, vandalism and/or theft. During construction hours, hazardous materials may be .stored temporarily on the right-of-way but overnight storage on the right-of-way will be prohibited. All storage containers will remain sealed when not in use and storage areas will be secured (gated, locked, and/or guarded) at night and during non-construction periods . Containers: Containers will be compatible with the hazardous materials or wastes stored . If the container leaks or becomes damaged, the substance must be transferred to a container in good condition. The Contractor will inspect containers at least weekly to discover any leaks in the containers or the containment systems. Containers used for transportation must comp ly with the DOT requirements, including those in Title 49, CFR, Part 173. Containers holding hazardous su bstanc es will be kept closed during transfer and storage, except when it is n ecessary to add or remove the sub stance. C ontainers 55-ga llon s or greater will be stored on pall ets and surround ed by secon dary con tainm en t. 3 • • • Seco nd ary Co ntainment: Seco nd ary co nt a inm ent w ill includ e, bu t wi ll no t b e lim it ed to , a portabl e cont ainme nt sys tem co nstrn ct ed of stee l, PVC or oth er s uit ab le material or berm ed or diked are as th at are li ned wi th a m inim um of 10 mil thi ck po lyeth ylene.

Any Contractor (gen erator ) p rod ucing m ore th at 100 kilo gram s p er m onth o f h azard o us wast e must app ly for an EPA Ident ificat ion N umber. The Contractor (generator) producing less t han 100 kg per month are cons idered co nd iti onall y exempt sm all q u antity generators. A gen erator can store hazardous wastes on-sit e for a period of up to 90 days w itho ut having to obtain a permit as a storage faci lity, or as a small quantity generator up to a total of 10 00 ki lograms . 3.5 INSPECTION AND RECORDKEEPING The Contractor will inspect all storage facilities on a regular basis, but not less than weekly. The Hazardous Materials Inspection Form in Appendix B w ill be used to record the condition of the faci lity. In addition to the weekly inspection, the Contractor will maintain records for hazardous material s and h azardous wastes as required by all app licab le federal, stat e, and local regulations and permit conditions. Record keeping re q uirements incl u d e: • hazardous materi al insp ec ti o n lo g ; • trans portation do cuments ; • bills of lading; • manifests ; • shipping papers ; • training records; • release report forms ; and • spill history . Th e CGR Representat ive wi ll monitor, in spect, doc ument, and report on th e Contractor's comp liance w ith all hazardo u s materials and hazardous waste management practices. 4.0 SPILL PREVENTION PRACTICES The Contractor shall take the following precautions to ensure that a release of oil and hazardous materials is prevented or contained. 4.1 STORAGE Containers and tanks used for fuel and material storage will be stored and labeled as discussed in Section 3 .1 . 5 • • • 4.2 EM ERGENCY AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT The following eq uipm ent will be maintained on -site with each crew using h e avy equ ipm ent for use in cleanup situations : • shovels, • absorbent pads/materials, • personal protective gear, • fire fighting equipment, • medical first -aid supplies, • phone list with emergency contact numbers, • storage containers/materials, and • communications equipment. 4.3 FUELING AND MAINTENANCE Construction vehicles and equipment will be fueled and maintained in upland areas at least 100 feet from waterbodi es. Fueling will not occur within 2 00 feet of private wells or 400 feet of municipal wells. \Vhen selecting fueling areas, consideration will be given to slopes and other topographic co nditions. Fueling locations wi ll generally be flat to minim ize the chance of spi ll ed substance reaching a waterbody. Every e ffort wi ll be mad e to minimize the threat of a fu e l spi ll during fueling and servicing . Construction eq uipment requiring maintenance which might resu lt in the draining or leaking of fluids wi ll b e serviced only after a 12 mil polyethylene lin er has b een installed betwee n the eq uipment and th e soil. This liner must be placed in such a manner that a ll fluid is co ntained. A ll service vehicles used to transport lubri cants and fuel must be equipped with an emergency response kit. At a minimum, this kit must include polyethylene sheeting, absorbent mats, a bucket or p lastic pan to catch fuel, personal protective equipment, and a minimum of 20 pounds of suitable absorbent material to handle potential spills. Each service vehicle shall have a sufficient number of shovels, brooms, polyethylene sheeting, and fire protection equipment to control a moderate-sized spill. 4.4 NEAR WATERBODIES If stationary equipment (i .e., pumps, generators, etc.) cannot be located at least 100 feet from waterbodies because of topographic conditions or space limitations, special precautions (e.g. placing pumps and small refue lin g cans in secondary containment structures) will be taken to prevent the spill or release of h azardous materials into the waterway. In areas where cons tru ction acti vity wi ll cross a flowing waterbody, absorbent booms will be placed on the water surface downstream of the construction zone, prior to construction. An emergency response kit will be re quired on-site during clearing, grading, ti e-in, and cl eanup activities w ithin 100 feet of a waterbody. The emergency response kit will include oil socks, boons, and pillows , polyethylene sheeting, absorbent mats , a bucket or plastic pan to catch fuel , 6 • and a minimum of 2 0 pounds of suitabl e ab sorbent mate1ial to handle potential spills. A ll equipment , vehicle s, pumps, hoses, and gen erators will b e che cked for leaks on a daily basi s. Le ak s or dri p s wi ll b e re pai re d imm ed iate l y. 5.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES This section provides a generic description of emergency response procedures to be performed to address petro leum and hazardous substance re leases during construction, operation, and maintenance of the Porcupine Loop. Each response will vary depending on the nature and extent of the incident; however, general protocols outlined below will be fo ll owed. 5.1 RESPONSIBILITIES The Contractor is responsible for: • Designat ing an em ergen cy coordin ator and two alt ern ate em ergenc y coordin ators; • Training personn el on conte nt s and r equirements o f Spill P lan ; • R outinely inspecting and maintaining equipm ent to prevent ac c id ental leak s and spill s; • C l eanin g-up and addre ssing all spill s whi ch occ ur as a result of th eir op eration s; • Immediat ely notifying the CGR Representativ e of any spills ; and • • Documenting spills in a daily log . • CGR i s re sponsibl e for : • Notifying ap prop1iate age nc ies o fre leases in excess o f RQs , in c ludi ng follo w-up noti ficat ion; and • Providing supporting personnel and equipment to address RQ re leases. 5.2 RESPONSE MEASURES Response actions are intended to ensure that all spills are promptly and thoroughly cleaned up. However, the first priority in responding to any spill is personnel and public safety. Construction personnel will be notified of evacuation procedures, including evacuation routes, to be used in event of a spill emergency. In general, the first person on the scene will: • attempt to identify the source, composition, and hazard of the spill; • isolate and stop the spill and begin clean up of the spill, if safe to do so; • notify appropriate personnel and initiate reporting actions; and • initiate evacuation of the area if necessary. Persons sh ou ld onl y att em p t to c lean up or con trol a spi ll if they h ave received proper tra ining. Untrain ed indi v idual s will imm ediat ely n oti fy th e Contrac to r's pr im ary or alt ern ate emergency coordinators . Ifthere is a spill of an unknown substance and its identity cannot be determined by observing 7 • • • obvious clues (i .e. lab els on containers , or observing an obvious sources (e.g. h ydrau li c lin es, fuel tanks, etc .), it would not be considered safe for th e average person to contain the spi ll . Any sp ill of an unknown s ubstance should be treated as a hazard and should be approached, contain ed and samp led by trained emergen cy response personnel. General constru ction personn e l should be instructed to contain and cleanup spill s of only tho se sub stances they can safe ly ide nt i fy and that can b e safe ly approached (from upwind and upgradient) and handl ed, after identifyi n g the materials from a safe distance and location. In general, expert advice wi ll be sought to properly cleanup major spills (defined as any spill over the reportable quantity for that substance). For spills on land, berms will be constructed to contain the sp ill ed material and prevent migration of hazardous materials or petroleum products toward waterways. Dry materials will not be cleaned up with water or burned. Contaminated soi ls will be collected using appropriate machinery, stored in suitable containers, and properly disposed of in designated areas off-site. After co ntaminated soil is recovered, all machinery utiliz ed will be decontaminated, and recovered soi l wi ll be treated as used oil if co ntaminated with petrol eum products or hazardous waste if contaminated with hazardous waste. Contaminated c lean up materials (absorbe nt pads, etc.) and vegetation will be disposed of in a similar manner. If spilled materials reach water, booms and skimmers will b e used to contain and remove contaminants. Other actions will be taken as necessary to clean up contaminated waters . Contaminated soil and materials will b e stored and dispo sed of in accordance with Sec tion s 3 .3 and 3.4. 5.3 NOTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION Notification and documentation procedures for all spi ll s that occur during project construction, operation, or maintenance will conform to applicab le federal, state, and local laws . Adherence to such procedures will be the top priority after initial safety and spill response actions have been taken. The following sections describe the notification and documentation procedures, and should be implemented in conjunction with the response procedures listed in other sections of this plan. 5.3.1 Reporting Criteria The Con tractor will report to the CGR Representative all hazardous substance re leases regardless of size and petroleum product spills which threaten or enter any waterbody or that are over 1 gallon in size. Verbal reports are required immediately following a major sp ill when doing so would not de lay clean up or administration of urgent m edical care. Any re lease of h azardous material over th e app li cabl e reportab le quantities (provid ed by the Contractor on the Hazardous Material Inventory Form) must be reported imm ediat ely to th e Nati onal Response Center (NRC), the BLM, th e Colorado Department of Public Health and Envirorunent (CDPHE) and local authorities . Any spill of petroleum product 55 gallon s or greater or any spill that en ters or may enter a Co lorado waterbody must be repo1ied to the CDPHE imm ed iat e ly and followed-up with written communication within 5 days . Any spi ll greater than 1 gallon or any sp ill that enters or 8 • may enter a waterbody on BLM-lands will be r eported to the BLM. • • 5.3.2 Notification Notification will begin as soon as possib le after discovery of a re lease.

This Fire P lan identifies measures to be taken by CGR and its contractors (Contractor) to ensure that fire prevention and suppression techniques are carried out in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Measures identified in this plan apply to work wi thin the project area defined as the right-of-way, access roads, temporary use and disturbed areas, and other areas used during construction of the project. CGR and contractor personnel are to be thoroughly familiar with this plan and its contents prior to initiating construction on the Porcupine Loop project. 1.1 PURPOSE The risk of fire danger during pipeline construction is related to smoking, re fueling activities, operating vehicles and other equipment off roadways, we ldin g activities, and the use of explosive materials and flammable liquids . During pipelin e operation, risk of fire is primarily from unauthorized entry onto the right -of-way. During maintenance operations, risk of fire is from vehicles and pipeline maintenance activities that require welding . This plan establis h es standards and practices that will minimi ze the risk of fire dang er and, in case of fire , provid e for immediate suppression . 1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES AND COORDINATION This plan will be implemented by CGR and the Contractor on the project. CGR and the Contractor have the responsibility for providing all necessary fire-fighting equipment on the project site to their respective employees and operating under the requirements of this plan . Prior to construction, CGR will contact the appropriate authorities to establish communications, obtain permits (if applicable), and/or fulfill other obligations as directed by fire control authorities . In addition to the above, CGR will: • Ensure that prevention, detection, pre -suppression, and suppression activities are in accordance with this Fire Plan and federal, state, and county laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining to fire. • Accompany agency representatives on fire tool and equipment inspections and take corrective action upon notification of any fire protection requirements that are not in co m p lian ce . The fire prevention and suppression measures described in this plan will be in effec t until the end of construction . • 2.0 FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES Method s and proce dures th at will b e impl emented p rio r to and du ring th e constructi on period to mi ni mize th e risk o f fire are descri bed b elow .

Spark anesters are not req u ired on trucks, buses, and passenger ve hic l es that are eq u ipped with an unaltered muffler or on di ese l engines equipped with a turbocharger. A BLM fire prevention officer will have full authority to inspect spark arresters on project equipment prior to its use on the project on federal lands and periodically during the construction project. 2.1.4 Parking, Vehicle Operation, and Storage Areas In no case will motorized equipment, including worker transportation vehicles be driven or parked outside of the designated and approved work limits. The right -of-way and temporary use and disturbed areas will be cleared of all flammable material, as necessary and if required by the BLM. Clearing will extend a minimum of 10 feet beyond the edge of the area to be occupied, but not beyond the boundaries of the approved right -of-way or temporary use areas. Glass containers will not be used to store gasoline or other flammables . 2.1.5 Equipment A ll mo tor ve hi c les an d equip m ent will carry one lon g-han d led, ro un d-p oint sh ove l, an d one 5-lb minimum size dry ch emi cal fir e ex tin gui sh er.
