Re: Noble Rulison Laydown Yard, LPAA-7824
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your review, comments, and suggestions. After careful consideration we have
made revisions accordingly. Please see our responses to your comments below.
3. The Applicant shall provide a greater explanation of the post development coefficients
contained in the Grading and Drainage Report. ln addition, the detention volumes need to be
verified based on these coefficients. This information shall be submitted to the Gartied County
engineer for review and acceptance prior fo issuance of the Land Use Change Permit.
The post development coefficients have been updated to reflect the post development
conditions; these coefficients were taken from the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual,
Volume 1, Table ROs - Runoff Coefficients, C and are based on the NRCS Hydrologic Soil
Group, percent imperviousness, and the design storm. This table is included in Appendix B of
the Final Drainage Report for reference.
Please contact us if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
ilr&ff

I. INTRODUCTION
Background
This Final Drainage Report has been prepared by Olsson Associates for Noble Energy lnc.'s
proposed laydown storage area, known as the Rulison site (the site). This report evaluates
the site's existing drainage patterns, analyzes the change in stormwater quantity/quality
associated with proposed development, and provides design to alleviate the impacts of
increased stormwater runoff due to the proposed development.
Project Location
Thesiteislocated intheNE Taof the NW%of Section lT,TownshipTSouth, Range94West
of the Sixth Principal Meridian, County of Garfield, State of Colorado. The site is approximately
4.77 miles southwest of the town of Battlement Mesa. Refer to Figure 1 for project location.
C. Previous lnvestigations
To the best of our knowledge, no previous drainage investigations have been conducted in
regards to this site.
D. Property Description
The site consists of an existing 5.5 acre pad site that was previously graded into mountainous
terrain.

Figure 1: Vicinity Map
DRAINAGE REPORT
The site owner plans to upgrade the site into a laydown storage area. The topography is
generally flat and drainage from the site travels to the northwest corner where a shallow
depression is located. According to the NRCS Web Soil Survey, soil in the area of the site
consists of Potts loam, which is classified as hydrologic soil group Type C. A soil map from
NRCS is included in Appendix A.
II. DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. Existing and Proposed Drainage Conditions
The site consists of a pad, which has a gentle slope to the northwest. This pad is divided into
four sub-basins, A, B, OS-'1, and OS-2. Drainage Basin A comprises 2.59 acres of the
developed area, and drains via sheet flow, diversion ditches, and rock run downs into the
proposed detention basin, located in the northwest corner of the site. Drainage Basin B, which
surrounds Basin A, has an area of 0.78 acres. Basin B drains via sheet flow off-site into an
existing and natural drainage way. Drainage Basin OS-2, consists of 2.13 acres on the south
half of the pad. This basin drains via sheet flow into drainage Basin A, which is conveyed
through the proposed retention pond.
The up slope area located on the southern and eastern property boundaries, denoted as
drainage Basin OS-1, comprises 4.9 acres of undeveloped area that drains towards the south
half of the pad. The runoff from drainage Basin OS-1 will be intercepted by a proposed swale,
which runs along the boundaries between drainage Basins OS-1 and OS-2. This swale will
discharge to the west towards an existing and natural drainage way.
The proposed drainage system will provide a drainage swale to convey offsite stormwater
around the pad to an existing and natural drainage way.

Master Drainage Plan
To our knowledge, no master drainage studies have analyzed the site.
Drainage Facility Maintenance
The owner shall be responsible for maintaining all on-site drainage facilities. ln addition, the
detention basin and swales should be examined after any slgnificant rainfall event to ensure
proper functionality and prevent erosion.

DRAINAGE REPORT
III. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
This report has been prepared in accordance with common engineering practices, the Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District's Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, and Garfield
County standards.
B. Development Criteria
There are no known constraints placed on the site due to floodplain studies, master drainage
studies or adjacent property drainage studies. Flows from upstream land will be diverted
around the site.
C. Hydrologic Criteria
Hydrologic calculations have been prepared in accordance with common engineering
practices. Rainfall intensities used are sourced from the NOAA Atlas 14 Hydrometeorological
Design Studies Center. Refer to Appendix B for all hydrologic calculations.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
Hydraulic calculations have been prepared in accordance with common engineering practices
and the Urban Drainage, Flood Control District's Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, and
the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, Article 7, Section 204.
IV. POST.CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
A. Stormwater Quality Control Measures
The retention basin, which was designed to retain lhe24 hour 25 year storm with an emptying
time of less than 24 hours with less than 50% of the water volume draining in 12 hours, in
accordance with the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, Article 7, Section
204. See Appendix B for the infiltration calculations.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Manual
This report has been prepared in accordance with common engineering practices, the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code, and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control
District's Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.

DRAINAGE REPORT
Compliance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Criteria
1 00-Year Run-on Diversions
Along the south and east sides of the site a swale, will be constructed to convey the run-on
flow. The swale will discharge on the western side of the site towards an existing and natural
drainage way.
25-Year Run-off Control
Run-off from the site will be captured in the northwest corner of the site.
Design Effectiveness
Proper implementation of the proposed measures outlined in this report will alleviate the direct
impacts of stormwater run-off on adjacent, downstream lands. The quantity of stormwater
released from the site will be equivalent to existing conditions.
A registered licensed engineer in the state of Colorado should be consulted for the preparation
of construction plans related to the recommendations outlined within this report.
Areas in Flood HazardZone
The site is within FEMA Panel 08020513508, which has not been printed. Based upon this
and the relative elevation above the nearest major river (approximately 900 vertical feet), the
flood risk has been determined to be minimal.

I Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are pF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 9oo/o confldence interual. The probability that precipitation frequency estimates (for
a given duration and avetage recurrence interyal) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lNerbound) is 5olo. Estimates at upper bounds are not
ch;cked against probable maximum precipitation (PiIP) estimates and may be higher than curently valid PMP values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.

Weed lnventory, Rulison Laydown Yard
1. PRorecr Drscnrprtoru
This noxious weed inventory and management plan was prepared at the request of Noble Energy
(Noble) for the existing Rulison Compressor Station and laydown yard. This facility is located in the
NE% of the SE % of Section 8, Township 75, Range 94W of the 5th P.M. in Garfield County, CO' The
Rulison Compressor Station is an existing compressor station with an adjacent area that is being used
as a laydown yard. The location footprint is approximately L.25 acres; a total of approximately 5.5
acres were surveyed, including the pad footprint, all cut and fill slopes, and a 10 foot buffer'
Olsson Associates (Olsson) was retained by Noble to conduct a follow-up noxious weed survey and to
provide Noble's existing Weed Management Plan to fulfill requirements requested by Garfield
County's Vegetation Management department.
Both Garfield County's noxious weed listl and the State of Colorado's noxious weed list2 were
utilized for Olsson's' survey efforts (see Appendix A and B). To summarize, our surveys found the
following State listed noxious weeds:
o lListBSpecies
o Plumeless thistle (Carduus acanthoides) G
o Musk thistle (Corduus nutons) G
o 2ListCSpecies
o Bulbous bluegrass (Poa bulbosal
o Cheatgrass (Anisontho tectoruml
o Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis\
G= also a Garfield County noxious weed
1.1. Description of Analysis Area
The proposed facility exists in converging natural vegetation communities of mixed grasslands (likely
caused by the removal of sagebrush shrublands), native sagebrush steppe, and mixed mountain
shrublands. The naturalvegetation is dominated by mountain sagebrush (Artemisio tridentate sbsp.
pouciflora) with a scattered presence of Utah serviceberry (Amelonchier utohensis), snowberry
(Symphorocorpos rotundifolia), and oakbrush (Quercus gombeliil. The understory was diverse, and
was dominated by American vetch (Viscio americona), lupine (Lupinus spp.), Sandberg bluegrass (Poo
secundal, paintbrush (Costilleja spp.), scorpion weed (Phocelio heterophyllo), sulfur flower
(Eriogonum umbellotum), junegrass (Koelaria mocarontho), yarrow (Achilleo millefolium), Rocky
Mountain penstemon (Penstemon strictus), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegnerio spicoto), green
needlegrass (Nossella viriduta) and needle-and-thread grass (Hesp erostipo comota). Additional

species occurred in lesser coverage and amounts. The pad locations has been kept mostly clear of
vegetation.
The location berms, cut slopes, and fill slopes support many weedy species, as well as seeded
grasses. The dominating vegetation includes cheatgrass (Anisontho tectorum), bulbous bluegrass
(Poa bulboso), slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycoulus), thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lonceolatus),
crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristotum), plumeless thistle (Corduus ocanthoides), and field
bindweed (Convolvu I us orvensis).

2. Rrsuus oF SURVEY Erronrs
Plumeless thistle, cheatgrass, bulbous bluegrass, and field bindweed were the most common noxious
weed found within the project area.
Plumeless thistle occurred on the perimeter of the
pad both on cut and fill slopes; the plumeless
thistle occurred mostly on the north perimeter of
the storage area along the drainage ditch that had
been constructed along the pad's fill-slope base,
but was also found in smaller concentrated
pockets around the project area. The total
coverage area across the site was likely less than
7%o, buI was closer to 40% cover within the more
concentrated areas.
Field bindweed was widely scattered and only
occurred in very low densities(<7% cover). A
single musk thistle was observed in a patch of
plumeless thistle.
The existing pad berms were dominated by chreatgrass along the South and east cutslopes. ln these
areas the cheatgrass intermixed with bulbous bluegrass accounts for more than half of all vegetative
cover; therefore, it is likely that cheatgrass will be difficult to control during remediation efforts of
the existing facilities or the proposed facility.

Apperuorx C - Nogts's REcLAMATToN PLAN
Reclamation Plan
Noble Energy lnc.
Noble estimates that the proposed laydown yard will be in operation for an anticipated period of
approximately thirty (30) years in order to accommodate Noble's natural gas operations. Upon
termination of the development and production activities, the communication tower location will be
reclaimed, as outlined below:
. All equipment and structures will be removed.. Noble will remove all safety and stormwater BMPs, and other surface objects from the
premises.. Noble will restore the site to pre-facility conditions by re-contouring and re-vegetating the site.
Top soil will be redistributed across the site and will be reseeded with an approved seed mix
(see attached seed mix recommendation).. Noble will monitor the site to ensure that 70 percent of the pre-existing vegetation is achieved.
Seedbed Preoaration and Slooe Reconstruction:
Cut and fill slopes will be backfilled and re-contoured to a slope of 3:1 - 2.5:1 or less in instances
where necessary to match the existing natural contours. Following final contouring, all backfilled or
ripped surfaces will be covered evenly with topsoil. Re-contouring should form a complex slope with
heavy pocking. ln areas with slope greater than 3 percent, imprinting of the seed bed is
recommended. Final seedbed prep will consist of scarifying/imprinting the topsoil prior to seeding.
lmprinting can be in the form of dozer tracks or furrows perpendicular to the direction of slope. When
hydro-seeding or mulching, imprinting should be done prior to seeding, unless the mulch is to be
crimped into the soil surface. lf broadcast seeding and harrowing, imprinting will be done as part of
the harrowing. Furrowing can be done by several methods, the most simple of which is to drill seed
perpendicular to the direction of slope in a prepared bed. Other simple imprinting methods include
deep hand raking and harrowing, always perpendicular to the direction of slope. All compacted areas
will be ripped to depth of 18" with max furrow spacing of 2'. Where practicable, ripping will be
conducted in two passes at perpendicular direction.
Toosoil: Following final contouring, all backfilled or ripped surfaces will be covered evenly with topsoil.
The topsoil in the cut slope on the back of the pad will be heavily pocked using the excavator bucket
to form an uneven soil surface complex which will aid in revegetation and help with slope
stabilization. The fill slope, and remaining disturbed, and reclaimed areas will be track walked to aid in
revegetation and slope stabilization. ln areas that may not have been disturbed during the
reclamation process or areas of suspected compaction that will be reseeded, measures will be taken
to loosen and spread the topsoil. These measures may include scarifying the soil by racking or
harrowing the soil.
Seed Mix: Seed mix used for reclamation will be taken from the approved seed mixtures identified
below:

Seedinq Procedures: For best results and success, the recommended grass mixture reseeding
should be done in late autumn in order to take advantage of natural precipitation for the region. The
reseeding rate should be doubled for broadcast application. Preferred seeding method is multiple
seed bin rangeland drill with no soil preparation other than simple grading to slope and imprinting and
water bars, where applicable.
Alternative seeding methods include, but are not limited to:. harrow with just enough soil moisture to create a rough surface, broadcast seed and reharrow,
preferably at a 90 degree angle to the first harrow;o hydro-seeding (most economical in terms of seed cost); and. hand raking and broadcast followed by re-raking at a 90 degree angle to the first raking.. These are not the only means of replanting the site. However, these methods have been
observed to be effective in similar landscapes.
The prepared soils will be seeded (weather permitting) no more than 24 hours following completion of
final seedbed preparation. The seeding will be conducted by means of drilling the prescribed seed at
prescribed seeding rate. The seed will be drilled with a common range drill at a depth of 0.25 - 0.5'
beneath the soil surface. The seed will be drilled horizontally across the pad faces and perpendicular
to the track walking when possible. When slope gradient less than 2.5:1 exists and drilling is not
possible from a mechanical and safety standpoint the soils will be broadcast seeded at twice the
prescribed amount. The reseeding will be monitored and reseeded as appropriate until the
reclamation standards detailed above are met.
Mulch: With 24 hours of reseeding (weather permitting) hydromulch will be applied to all reclaimed
and reseeded surfaces. Areas where the erosion potential is such that biodegradable blankets will be
used will not be hydromulched.

I.O INTRODUCTION
Noxious weeds are often non-native plant species which have been introduced into an environment with
few, if any, natural biological controls, thus providing them a distinct competitive advantage in
dominating and displacing native plant species. They possess the ability to dominate plant communities
to the extent plant diversity and ecosystem integrity are threatened. Noxious weeds also threaten valuable
wildlife habitat, cause economic hardships to agriculture and are a nuisance for recreational activities.
Noxious weeds are difficult to eradicate or control because they readily become established in disturbed
areas, spread rapidly, possess a unique ability to reproduce profusely, and resist control.
In general, noxious weeds are most corlmon in areas where human activity is having or has had the
greatest impact on the soil and vegetation and/or where human activities have resulted in the introduction
of seed sources. Previously disturbed land, where the plant cover has been removed is susceptible to
noxious weed establishment and invasion into adjacent native plant communities' These include
roadways, rock or borrow pits, heavily grazed areas, mininB, Bas and oil drilling areas, and irrigation
canals.
Species of noxious weeds that are known to occur in the Mesa/Garfield County area in Colorado are
listed in Table 1. There are state and federal laws that provide definitions of and guidance for the
management of noxious weeds (Colorado Departrnent of Agriculture 2009a,b).
The Noxious Weed Management Plan (Plan) provides a process for implementing noxious weed
management strategies to be used by Noble Energy Inc. (NEI) during activities in the Piceance Field. The
guiding purpose of noxious weed management in this Plan is to preclude the inadvertent introduction,
establishment, or proliferation of noxious weed species as a result of NEI development activities. It is the
intent of NEI to cooperate with federal and state agencies, local landowners, county weed control agents,
and other parties in the management and control of noxious weeds in the area.

2.0 PLAN O\'ERVIEW
The primary goal of this Plan is to preclude the inadvertent introduction, establishment or proliferation of
any noxious weed species as a result of the proposed activities. The shared goals of: l) prevention, 2)
treatment, 3) monitoring, and 4) cooperation form the framework of this Plan. Each goal is characterized
by specific management objectives intended to achieve the goal. Each objective has specific actions that
will be implemented by NEI.
The following summarizes the goals of this Plan.
1) Prevention
Preventive actions include conducting periodic weed surveys and the use of weed-free seed mixtures
during reclamation. Weed sgrveys of the field will be conducted by a local weed expert to identiff
noxious species on a scheduled basis so that infestations can be treated quickly before they spread.
Revegetation activities will be completed in all disturbed areas not required to be vegetation-free. Proper
and timely revegetation with desirable species will create less favorable conditions for weed growth and
spread. Revegetation will be done with weed-free seed and mulch. Disturbances will minimize spread of
weeds by treating them prior to disturbance or avoiding them.
2) Treatment
Treaffnents will be developed using integrated weed management principles for each species and
situation. Treatments may include hand pulling, grubbing, mowing, mulching, seeding, burning,
herbicide application and soil management, as recommended by NEI's local weed expert. All treatrnents
will follow the guidelines stipulated in this Plan. Large and/or widespread weed infestations that are
beyond the control and influence of NEI will be managed cooperatively with other parties. All treatrnents
will be monitored for effectiveness.
3) Monitoring
Monitoring will be conducted on a scheduled basis to detect new infestations, evaluate prevention and/or
freatment success, and identiff the need for re-treatrnent.
4) Cooperation
NEI will cooperate with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Garfield and Mesa Counties and affected
landowners to manage noxious weeds in the project area.
Piceance Noxious Weed Management Plan 2-1 January 2010
l,l=nobler v energY
3.0 GOALS AI\D OBJECTIVES
Goal l. Prevention
Objective 1: Forestall or hinder the introduction and spread of specific noxious weed species in areas
not currentlY infested.
Action:
Ensure that disturbed land adjacent to vegetation-free zones is revegetated immediately after
disturbance.
Although revegetation after ground disturbance is a guiding principle for the management of weeds,
NEI requires vegetation-free zones around their well pads and infrastructure for safety reasons. This
vegetation-free zone is approxim ately 250 feet by 300 feet or an estimated 1.6 acres for each well
pad.
Outside of the vegetation-free zones, NEI will revegetate bare ground regardless of whether noxious
weeds are in the local area. Native plant species (or domestic varieties of native species) will be
used instead of introduced species for seeding for site protection if the native species can accomplish
the site objectives in a reasonable time frame and costs are not excessive. Species and seed mixes
that will become established will be used for the reclamation of disturbed ground. Generally, the
addition of broadleaf species to seed mixes will be avoided as reseeded areas often require
herbicidal treatrnent of broadleaf weeds in the first year or two, which would also affect all desirable
broadleaf species in the treated area. All seed purchased for reclamation purposes will be free of
noxious weeds. If hay or straw will be used for mulching, erosion control, rehabilitation, or other
uses, it will be free of noxious weeds and their seeds. On national BLM Lands, reclamation will use
the approved BLM seed mixes listed in Tables 2-l th.rough24.

Pieance Noxious weed Management Plan January 20'103-3
f1=nobler \., energy
Objective 2: Prevent the spread or proliferation of existing infestations.
Action:
Conduct ground disturbing actions consistent with the goals and objectives of this Plan.
Where road shoulders or drainage ditches are covered by desirable herbaceous cover, consider
leaving it in place rather than clearing it off, if such a practice can be done without causing excessive
damage to the road or ground surface or cause signif,rcant public safety hazards.
Use the following guidelines for existing infestations to be disturbed:
(1) if the weed is not in flower, or will not reproduce through damaged plant parts (i.e.,
vegetatively), proceed with maintenance/road work,
(2) if the weed has flowered, either hand pull or cut all tops, bag in a plastic bag (and dispose of
appropriately), then proceed with road work; or flag the site for avoidance by the machinery
until the infestation is treated; and
(3) if the weed is known or suspected to sprout vegetatively from cut parts, flag the site to ensure
avoidance by machinery until the weed can be freated by proper means.
Goal2. Treatment
Objective 1: Evaluate ffeatment options for established infestations.
Actions:
Evaluate each infestation for causal factors and appropriate treatment employing integrated weed
management principles.
Integrated Weed Management (IWM) is a decision-making process used to select the most
appropriate actions from an assortment of options and apply them to each unique situation. IWM
Piceance Noxious Weed Management Plan 3-4 January 2010
fl:t nobler v energy
evaluates, integrates, and implements noxious weed management strategies based on predicted
ecological, sociological, and economic consequences. IWM includes the use of naturally occurring
weed controls including biological diversity, competition, and plant succession. In addition, IWM
utilizes various mechanical, biological, cultural and chemical controls, and habitat modification
techniques.
Objectives will be set for each infestation and will include reasonable and attainable time frames for
management. Management objectives may include: control (to prevent reproduction), containment
(to prevent off site movement), reduction (to shrink the population in number, density, and/or area
covered); and/or eradication (to eliminate pelmanently from the site).
In cases where infestations extend beyond the areas affected by NEI's activities and/or are
contributed to by management of surrounding lands, NEI will coordinate with adjacent landowners
to determine the appropriateness and anticipated effectiveness of treatment options. If adjacent lands
are not ffeated, NEI may decline to ffeat infestations on their areas or to limit their ffeatments to non-
chemical methods or to roadsides only. This will minimize the use of herbicides where results may
be poor.
The greatest priority for treatment will be placed on species in Garfreld and Mesa County classified
as Class L Class II species located outside of public roadways will be given less emphasis for
treatment and will not be managed if treatrnents are predicted to have little effect.
Prepare and Implement Treatment Plans
Treafinent options appropriate for use by NEI are limited to physical, mechanical, cultural, and
chemical methods. Specific methods include hand pulling, grubbing, mowing, mulching, burning,
herbicide application, and soil management. Appropriate herbicides are a frrnction of the target
noxious weed species and are not listed in this Plan. Specific herbicides will be determined in
conjgnction with the BLM, as appropriate, in order to ensure the best, most current information is
applied. Guidelines to be followed for all treatrnent activities are listed in Appendix C.
AII treatrnents will be conducted in a manner consistent with the guidelines and measures in this
plan including all appendices. On BLM land, all treatments will be developed in coordination with
the BLM.

Goal3. Monitoring
Objective l: Implement a sound monitoring program to ffack prevention and treatment activities and to
determine the effectiveness of such practices to meet stated objectives.
Actions:
Conductfield surveys to detect new infestations and/or changes in existing infestations.
Field surveys will be conducted periodically throughout the NEI Piceance field to monitor changes
and determine the need for new treatments and re-treatments.
Goal4. Cooperation
Objective 1: To coordinate and integrate inventory, prevention and management of noxious weeds with
private parties; federal, state and local governments; and other agencies.
Actions:
Manage established infestations infull coordination with BLM and landowners.
Objectives for each established infestation are determined in an integrated manner and are applied
through a process based on an assessment of risks, costs/benefits, appropriate strategies and tactics.
Determine treatment options cooperatively with affected parties. (See Goals 2 and 4.)

APPENDIX B
STANDARD MITIGATIONS/COMMITTED MEASURES
COMMITTED MEASURES FOR ALL TREATMENTS
For All Methods
1. Notifu interested parties and adjacent landowners during project planning stage and again prior to
implementation.
2. Ensure appropriate management of livestock, if any.
3. Monitor treated sites periodically to determine the need for treatrnent/ retreatment.
For Use of Fire
4. Observe all local ordinances, bans, or restrictions on burning.
5. Protect air quality following all state and local regulation.
6. Use the best available technology to reduce smoke.
7. Vegetation ffeated with herbicide will not be burned for at least one year following treatrnent.
For Herbicide Uses
8. No aerial application of herbicides is permitted under this plan.
g. Use USEPA-registered chemicals only and follow herbicide label instructions precisely; never
exceed the recommended application rates.
10. Protective clothing will be worn by all workers involved in herbicide work.
11. Public notification will be used for all applications where there is a potential for public exposure.
12. Workers who know that they are hypersensitive to herbicides will not be used for application
projects.
13. Precautions will be taken to prevent accidental leaks or spills.
14. Do not prepare mixtures or clean equipment where ground water could be contaminated.
15. Control spray to prescribed boundaries.
16. Keep copies of material safety data sheets on site during the use of herbicides.
17. Treatrnents will be performed by a certified applicator.
