This use is, however, contemplated in the Staff recommended amendments to be heard by the PC on 3/25/2009. Consistent with advice provided to Chevron, Staff has informed Mr. Padilla that Oxy may submit a permit application as long as a letter of understanding is attached which acknowledges that the application is moot if the amendment is not approved by the BOCC. In addition, since it is unknown whether the. use will be added as a Limited or Major Impact Review, Staff advised Mr. Padilla to consider it a Major Impact Review to plan for the longest time frame. The Applicant has stated that site plans, ISDS Permit, water well permit, cultural resource inventory, traffic analysis, storm water management plan and SPCC are in the process of being compliled.

Our understanding is that GarCo will amend the code to allow the facility to be permitted under the Limited Impact Review. l.Jhat would be good to know, is if we have fulfilled our requirement of having a pre- application planning meeting. Our goal is to submit the permit by mid to late February, as requested, prior to the amendment of the code. We have completed or are working on completing the following items in support of the application: Identified the "temporary" office configuration (comprised of modular unl.ts) and identified the proposed permanent stick-built building . 1 Identified the use of port-a -johns until ISDS is submitted and approved ~ ISDS Permit -Design has been prepared for a leach field and is ready to be submitted ( at about the same time that we submit the limited impact review applicati on. We understand that the ISDS permit will not be issued until the land-use permit has been issued . 1 Water Well Permit -Permit is being finalized and will be filed shortly. 2 Site plan requirements -Figures are being updated to meet new GarCo codes Wildlife/Bio/Habitat: The 2008 report prepared by Walsh will need to be updated to addre·ss all of the factors now required by the ne\'J GarCo code. 1 Gultural: Arranging for Cultural Resource firm to prepare a Class 1 assessment of the location. 2 Traffyc: OXY contactor is preparing a basic analysis. 3 Stormwat~r : OXY's stormwater contractor will recommend BMPs to be included on the site plan or a separate stormwater diagram. 4 SPcc:· OXY ~11ill assess if fuel storage will be on site for the generator, if so we' 11 include measures that will be implemented to control spills (i.e., secondary containment). The fuel tank may or may not be subject to SPCC depending on volullie . We may also tap in to the gas line for a gas generator: What would be good to know, is if we have fulfilled our requirement of having a pre- application planning meeting. Again the permit is in process and we are hoping to get it to your office later this month. Please let me know if you have any questions .

By;~ ~ Vice President fll),d Oenei:aI Counsel 4 ( \ ~ CORDILLERAN OLSSON ASSOCIATES A divis io n of Olsson A ssociates Project Description As detailed in this application, OXY USA WTP LP's (Oxy) field office is intended to provide a much needed facility for coordinating natural gas drilling and production operations that is proximate to Oxy's activities in the area. The proposed field office will allow Oxy personnel to perform a variety of operational tasks and provide access to computer systems related to drilling completion and monitoring of Oxy's wells. Installation of the proposed facility will also provide a strategic location to service all existing activities in the Piceance Basin operational area. The proposed office facility will accommodate a maximum of twenty-five (25) employees. The facility will be located on a private road accessed from Garfield County Road 213 (Conn Creek Rd). The site is approximately 4 miles north of the County Road 204/County Road 213 intersection. The office facility is located in the southwest~ of Section 5, Township 7 south, Range 97 west, in Garfield County, Colorado. In the final build out, the facility will be comprised of a stick built office structure (occupying a footprint of approximately 4 ,206 square feet) and a single remaining prefabricated trailer from the existing configuration. The project area is currently improved with seven (7) prefabricated office trailers which accommodates up to sixteen (16) employees . The existing trailers will be utilized on-site until the proposed stick-built structure is constructed. After completion of the proposed stick-built structure, one (1) office trailer from the existing four-plex identified on the site diagram will remain on-site. After final build out, Oxy anticipates this facility will accommodate up to 25 people on a daily basis . Parking lot layout and locations are identified in the attached Site Diagram. The operation of this facility will reduce the need for Oxy personnel to travel from the drilling and production areas to office locations far from the job sites. The operation of this facility will have some overall positive impacts on traffic in the area. The office facility will enable Oxy's staff to monitor the company's drilling and production activities in this area and reduce the need for personnel to travel to Grand Junction for access to the company's computer data. In addition, this facility will provide voice communications via radio with personnel in the field thereby reducing traffic and increasing the safety of Oxy's operations. The field office will be accessible to OXY personnel 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, however personnel will primarily use this facility during normal working hours from approximately 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Electricity will be supplied on-site by a diesel generator in accordance with appropriate Colorado air emissions permitting regulation as applicable . The fuel storage tank located on-site for operation of the generator will be included in the area wide Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan. An area-wide Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), detailing the use of site-specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) associated with Oxy's construction activities will be utilized for the proposed project. Implementation of the SWMP will ensure that activities conducted at the site comply with stormwater management regulations as required by Garfield County, the State of Colorado, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Implementation of these plans also ensures that installation and operation of this facility will not impact surface runoff, stream flow, or groundwater. Potable water will be provided to the offices from a licensed provider and stored in a 10,000 gallon tank/cistern system. Additionally, Oxy has been issued a permit to drill an exempt commercial water well at this location. The well will be drilled and completed to support operations at this facility at some time in the future. As dictated by the quality of water obtained from any well that services this facility, OXY will also install any required water-treatment systems so that the water will meet the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Standards. Currently, human generated wastes are being accommodated via two incinerator toilet systems permitted according to the Garfield County Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) process. These units are augmented with portable toilets placed in proximity to the existing trailers. Waste from the portable toilets is removed and disposed of by a licensed waste hauler. A permit for approval of an engineered, in-ground, septic system will be submitted to the Garfield County Building Department at the same time as this document. Upon approval of the in-ground ISDS permit, the existing waste handling system(s) will be replaced by the engineered system. Solid waste refuse will be stored in wildlife proof containers provided by a licensed refuse hauler. Oxy will use a refuse hauling service to empty the refuse receptacle (see attached hauler affidavit). Receptacles will be emptied as needed, with a minimum removal of once every two weeks. Refuse will be disposed of at the Garfield County Landfill or other permitted facility. Oxy's refuse hauler will maintain all records including, but not limited to, trip logs/reports and landfill receipts, and all records will be available to the County upon request. - l16'l-: 4--0CHJ26 IR.<Cl U TR.<CI 61 .

Public Access Access to the subject property is from County Road 213 (Conn Creek RD). There are no historic access points to public lands within the property boundaries. Article IV, 4-502 0.2. Access to Adjoining Roadways Access to the subject property is from County Road 213. County Road 213 intersects with County Road 204 (Roan Creek RD) approximately 4 miles south of the proposed field office. The office facility will not adversely impact adjoining roadways. Article IV, 4-502 0.3. Easements All easements within the vicinity of the project area are shown as requ ired on the site plan . The field office will not impact existing easements found on the subject property. Article IV, 4-502 D.4. Topography and Slope As demonstrated on the slope hazards map included as figure 3, the proposed field office is located on a relatively flat portion of the subject property. Areas of steep slope can be found to the east of the project location . The identified slopes will not adversely impact the project site. If needed, mitigation measures will be utilized during any construction activity to address potential geologic hazards . Article IV, 4 -502 D.5. Natural Features The project area is located within a re latively flat portion of the subject property. The only significant natural feature located in close proximity to the project area is Conn Creek. Conn Creek is situated approximately 427' west of the project area. BM P 's will be utili zed during construction activity to prevent potential impacts from run-off activity. Article IV, 4-502 0.6. Drainage Drainage from the project area historically flows west toward the Conn Creek basin. The office facility has been included in an area wide stormwater management pl an . Article IV, 4-502 0.7. Water Water used at the office fac ility is obtained from licensed potable water servi ce provider. Copies of hauler affidavits have been included under the supplemental material tab. In order to 1 ( ( l demonstrate a permanent legal source of water, OXY has obtained an approved exempt commercial well permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources (supplemental material tab). The well permit allows the utilization of groundwater for drinking and sanitary purposes. Article IV, 4-502 0.8. Floodplain The project site is not within a floodplain as demonstrated in figure 5. Article IV, 4-502 0.9. Soils A copy of a Custom Soil Resource Report for the office facility has been provided for Planning Staff review (supplemental material tab). The location for the proposed Field Office facility is underlain by the lower part of the Green River Formation. This part of the Green River Formation consists of shale, mudstone and sandstones. The cliffs and plateau to the east of the Field Office location are comprised of the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation and consist of oil shale, sandstone and mudstone. The rocks of the Green River Formation are the parent material for the soils that occur at this location. This. location is underlain by soils of the Happle very channery sandy loam, 3 to 12 percent slopes. This soil unit is a very well drained soil that is typically up to 60 inches thick. A copy of the Geologic and Soils Hazard Report is inciuded under the supplemental material tab. Article IV, 4-502 0.10. Hazards The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soils report for this area provides information regarding the suitability or limitations of these soils for the proposed use - construction of a small commercial building. The primary limitation identified by the NRCS for this proposed use is based on the typical slope where this soil unit occurs. The proposed location for the Field Office appears to overcome this limitation in that a relatively flat area has been selected. The NRCS also identifies these soils as having very limited capability for landscaping due to high gravel content and the droughty nature of this area. This limitation will need to be considered in the design and implementation of any landscaping for this facility. In addition, these soils are identified as being somewhat limited for septic absorption due to slow water movement, however, this limitation can be easily overcome by an engineered design for septic systems. The proposed field office is situated primarily in the base of Cascade Canyon with natural sage brush scrub on the slope of the canyon. Ground cover consists primarily of dry grasses and sagebrush, with some pinon. No geologic hazards have been mapped by Garfield County in this area and no faults or other hazards are evident on the Geologic Map of Colorado. However, evidence of land instability is visible in proximity to the site. Rock fall from the canyon walls is common. The wide, shallow, and steep channels of streams experience flash flooding and occasional debris flow during prolonged or extreme storm events. The nearest perennial surface water feature is Conn Creek which flows north to south and is located approximately 427 feet west of proposed facility, however, numerous dry channels transect the steep slopes to the east of the facility and will carry water during storm events. Geologic hazard potential is likely moderate to high and consideration should be given to rock fall and debris flow in the design 2 and construction of the facility. These potential hazards have been somewhat mitigated by the selection of the location for this facility in that it is located relatively far from the base of the steep slopes to the east so that rock fall is less likely to reach the facility. The location of the facility is not within or down gradient of the dry channels that occur on the steep slopes to the east. Article IV, 4-502 D.11. Natural Habitat The impacts to natural habitat are discussed in the Habitat Assessment prepared by WALSH Environmental Scientists and Engineers, LLC (supplemental material). As identified in the report the construction and operation of the office facility will have limited impact to the natural habitat. Article IV, 4-502 D.12. Resource Areas A Class I cultural resource inventory for the office facility was prepared by Flattops Archaeological Consultants (supplemental material), The inventory determined that no protected or registered archaeological, cultural, paleontological or historic resources exist on the subject property. 3 ( ( Article IV 4-502 E Impact Analysis OXY USA WTP LP Professional Office for Conduct of Business/Profession Limited Impact Review Field Office CORDILLERAN OLSSON ASSOCIATES A division of Olsson Associates OA Project No. 008-2180 May 2009 / " , / IC>eri~.

Effects on Exiting Water Supply and Adequacy of Supply OXY USA WTP LP (OXY) has obtained an exempt commercial well permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Using the Colorado Division of Water Resource calculation of 15 gallons per person per day for employees at an office facility the proposed use is anticipated to utilize 375 gallons per day (25 x15gl = 420gal/day). A Water Supply Plan is not required per 7- 105, as the water demand for the office facility will not exceed eight (8) single-family equivalents. The exempt commercial well permit is included under the supplemental material tab. Although a legal source of water exists via the permitted well, the office facility will also utilize an above ground water storage tank serviced by a licensed potable water provider. A service affidavit from a potable water provider has been included under the supplemental material tab. 3 The proposed office facility will not adversely impact existing water supplies in the area. Article IV, 4-502 E.7. Effects on Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge Areas The proposed office will require minimal surface disturbance and will not adversely impact groundwater supplies or aquifer recharge areas. Article IV, 4-502 E.8. Environmental Effects Environmental effects resulting from this use are addressed in the Habitat Assessment prepared by WALSH. This assessment concludes that adverse impacts to federally listed or locally significant plant or animals are not anticipated. This conclusion is based on the results of a field survey and literature research. No impacts to significant archaeological, cultural, paleontological and historic resources were identified in the Cultural Resource Survey conducted by Flattops Archaeological Consulting. A copy of this report has been included under the supplemental material tab. The area wide Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measures plan will be amended to accommodate the storage of fuel used for the generation of power on-site. The existing environmental conditions are described in the Land Suitability Analysis and various reports contained in the supplemental information. Each of the factors that are required to be considered in this Impact Analysis is discussed below. Article IV. 4-502 E. 8. a. -Determination of the long term and short tenn effect on flora and fauna. The impacts to flora and fauna from this facility and measures that can be taken to mitigate those impacts are described in detail in the Habitat Assessment and Noxious Weed Report included in the assessment as Appendix A. OXY will implement the mitigation measures prescribed by this document. Article IV, 4-502 E. 8. b. -Determination of the effect on significant archaeological. cultural. paleontological, histo1ic resources. As indicated in the Class 1 cultural resource survey for the proposed project no impacts to significant archaeological, cultural, paleontological and historic resources were identified. Article IV, 4-502 E. 8. c. -Determination of the effect on designated environmental resources. including critical wildlife habitat. Potential impacts to designated environmental resources from this facility are discussed in detail within the Habitat Assessment included in the supplemental information.

Potential impacts to wildlife are discussed in detail within the Habitat Assessment prepared by WALSH. The office facility is not expected to impact domestic animals. Article IV. 4-502 E. 8. e. -Evaluation of any potential radiation hazard that may have been identified by the State or Countv Health Departments. There are no potential radiation hazards associated with this facility. Article IV, 4-502 E. 8. e. -Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measures plan. if applicable. The area wide Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measures plan will be amended to accommodate the storage of fuel used for the generation of power on-site. Article IV, 4-502 E. 9. Traffic A Basic Traffic Analysis has been prepared demonstrating the impacts of the proposed office facility {supplemental materials tab). Due to the limited impacts of traffic generated by the proposed use, improvements to the County Roads 213 or 204 are not required. The proposed use will not increase traffic by 20% on any County, State or Federal roadway or intersection. Article IV, 4-502 E.10. Nuisance Adjacent lands will not be impacted by the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration. This use will comply with Colorado Revised State Statute regarding noise at all times. Article IV, 4-502 E.11. Reclamation Plan Reclamation Plan OXY USA WTP LP (OXY) estimates that the proposed office facility will be in operation for an anticipated period of approximately twenty-five (25) years during development and production of OXY's Garfield County operations. Upon termination of the development and production activities, the office facility will be reclaimed, as outlined below: • All equipment and structures will be removed. • OXY will remove all safety and storm water BMPs, and other surface objects from the premises. • OXY 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). • OXY will monitor the site to ensure that 70 percent of the pre-existing vegetation is achieved, per the requirements of the CDPHE Stormwater Permit for the site. s ( Seedbed Preparation and Slope 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 e x isting 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. In 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 . Imprinting 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 so il surface. If broadcast seeding and harrowing, imprinting w ill 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 di rection of slope. All compacted areas w ill be ripped to d epth of 18" with max furrow spacing of 2 '. Where practicable, ripp ing will be conducted in two passes at perpendicular direction . Topsoil : 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 b e heavily pocked using th e e xcavator bucket to form an uneven soil surface complex which will aid in revegetation and help with slope stabilization. The fill slope, and rema ining disturbed, and re c laimed areas will be track walked to aid in revegetation and slope stabilization . In areas that may not have been disturbed du ring the reclamat ion 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.

( ( 7 Seeding 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 waterbars, 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; • 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 possi.ble. 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. 8 ( ( Article VII Standards OXY USA WTP LP Professional Office for the Conduct of Business/Profession Limited Impact Review Field Office CORDILLERAN OLSSON A divis ion o f O lsson A ssociat es ASSOCIATES OA Project No. 008-2180 May 2009 ; --___ ,, _____ , __ _ 826 21 Y.

The location for the proposed Field Office facility is underlain by the lower part of the Green River Formation. This part of the Green River Formation consists of shale, mudstone and sandstones. The cliffs and plateau to the east of the Field Office location are comprised of the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation and consist of oil shale, sandstone and mudstone. The rocks of the Green River Formation are the parent material for the soils that occur at this location. Figure 2 provides a soils map for the location of the proposed facility. This location is underlain by soils of the Happle very channery sandy loam, 3 to 12 percent slopes (soil unit 44 on Figure 2). This soil unit is a very well drained soil that is typically up to 60 inches thick. Limitations of this soil in relation to the proposed project are discussed in detail below. Geologic and Soil Hazards The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soils report for this area provides information regarding the suitability or limitations of these soils for the proposed use -construction of a small commercial building. The primary limitation identified by the NRCS for this proposed use is based on the typical slope where this soil unit occurs. The proposed location for the Field Office appears to overcome this limitation in that a relatively flat area has been selected. The NRCS also identifies these soils as having very limited capability for landscaping due to high gravel content and the draughty nature of this area . This limitation will need to be considered in the design and implementation of any landscaping for this facility. In addition, these soils are identified as being somewhat lim ited for septic absorption due to slow water movement, however, this limitation can be easily overcome by an engineered design for septic systems. The proposed Field Office situated primarily in the base of Cascade Canyon with natural sage brush scrub on the slope of the canyon . Ground cover consists primarily of dry grasses and sagebrush, with some pinon. No geologic hazards have been mapped by Garfield County in this area and no faults or other hazards are evident on the Geologic Map of Colorado . However, evidence of land instabil ity is visible in proximity to the site. Rock fall from the canyon walls is common. The wide, shallow, and steep channels of streams experience flash flooding and occasional debris flow during prolonged or extreme storm events. The nearest perennial surface water feature is Conn Creek which flows north to south and is located approximately 427 feet west of proposed facility, however, numerous dry channels transect the steep slopes to the east of the facility and will carry water during storm events. Geologic hazard potential is likely very moderate to high and consideration of rock fall and debris flow need to be considered in the design and construction of the facility. These potential hazards have been somewhat mitigated by the selection of the location for this facility in that it is located relatively far from the base of the steep slopes to the east so that rock fall is less likely to reach the facility. The location of the facility is not within or down gradient of the dry channels that occur on the steep slopes to the east.

Box 864 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602 Colorado State Permit #2009-15 (expires 2-28-10) March 2009 Abstract Flattops Archaeological Consultants (F AC) conducted a Class I cultural resource overview of the OXY USA WTP LP Temporary Field Office in Garfield County, Colorado. This overview was completed for Cordilleran, a division of Olsson Associates, as part of a Garfield County Building and Planning development plan application. The proposed project is a temporary field office located along Conn Creek on private property. The project is located approximately twelve miles north ofDeBeque in Section 5, T7S, R97W. A file search of the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation COMP ASS and Bureau of Land Management databases revealed three historic linear sites (5GF I 587. I, SGF1588.2, and 5GF3829.l), one paleontological site (SGF3708) and two historic isolated finds (5GF2912 and 5GF2947) in the legal sections surrounding the project area. All of the sites are not eligible, and isolated finds are by definition not eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. Based on the results of previous inventories in the Class I area and on examination of the historic General Land Office plats, F AC recommends that the potential for prehistoric properties is moderate to low. Potential for linear historic features and isolated finds is moderate to high. 11 Table of Contents page Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Introduction ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Effective Environment .....................................................................................................................

This overview was completed for Cordilleran, a division of Olsson Associates, as pait of a Garfield County Building and Planning development plan application. The proposed project includes one stick- built structure and several Colorado-ce1tified trailers. It is located along Conn Creek on private property. The project is located approximately twelve miles north ofDeBeque in Section 29, T6S,R97W. The area covered by the Class I study includes the four legal sections surrounding the proposed field office, and includes Sections 19-21, 28-33, T6S, R97W. The area of potential affect (APE) for the proposed project is approximately two acres. The investigation was performed under the stipulations of Colorado State Permit 2009-15, which expires on 2/28/10. File searches were conducted through the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's (OAHP) on-line Compass database by FAC principal investigator Kae McDonald on March 11, 2009, and atthe Bureau of Land Management, Grand Junction Field Office (BLM- GJFO) on March 16, 2009. · Effective Environment Physiographically, the project area is located along the interface of the Southern Rocky Mountains attd the Colorado Plateau physiographic provinces. The Colorado Plateau is characterized by extensive horizontal, sedimentary formations, relatively high elevation, and an arid or semiarid climate (Fenneman 1931, as cited by Reed and Metcalf 1999:8). The Southern Rocky Mountains province is characterized by high and rugged ranges. The crest of the Southern Rocky Mountains forms the Continental Divide, which separates the watersheds of Pacific and Atlantic Ocean tributaries (Fenneman 1931, as cited by Reed and Metcalf 1999:7). The project is located east of Conn Creek. Vegetation zone is pinyon-juniper transitioning into montane. Elevation is approximately 6400 feet. Local bedrock geology is primarily elements of the Green River Formation (Tweto 1979). Soils are composed of warm, intermittently dry soils of the middle elevations (Reed and Metcalf 1999: 14). These soils cover mesas, plateaus and lower mountain slopes, lying on top of sattdstone, shale, and alluvium; depth of the soil may vary according to the topography and exposure with thinner soils along the slopes and tops of the steeper ridges, and deeper soils nearer the drainages.

Page_l of8 1.0 Site History The site consists of a parcel of unknown size of uncultivated native soil. The nearest property boundary is approximately 280' west of the area of concern. Drainage in the area of concern is approximately l 0%-12% to the west in the area of reference. A percolation test/soils evaluation was conducted on the property of reterence on 11/25/08 by Tom A. Cronk, registered professional engineer (R.P.E.). The perc excavation trench (excavation A) was located approximately 300' south of the proposed office. Additional perc holes were located 40' east of the trench (excavation B) and 65' cast of the trench (excavation C). The l l/25i08 investigations were intended to develop subsurface design parameters for an individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) to serve a proposed commercial mancamp at the site. An engineered ISDS design has been prepared for the project. The l l/25i08 perc test/soils evaluation is attached for reference as Appendix A. The location of the site investigation is shown on the attached plot plan. A discussion of developed subsurface design parameters and the engineered ISDS design follows. 2.0 Development of Design Parameters Aperc excavation trench (excavation A) was extended to a depth of 132" below ground surface (BGS). There was no evidence of ground water or high seasonal water table in the open excavation to a depth of 132" BGS. The soils evaluation indicates two distinct soil horizons underlie the site. A lithological description follows: depth (in.) 011 -1811 18" -132" description sandy clay loam, gray; moderately hard and blocky sandy clay loam matrix with sandstone gravels (5mm-75nnn), tan An INFILTRATOR trench absorption field configured in serial disl:!ibution is proposed for the site. A design perc rate of 40 min/in. is chosen for overall sizing of the absorption field (see Appendix A). Page 2 of8 3.0 Svstem Design INFILTRATOR absorption trenches are proposed for discharge of septic effluent at the site. Construction of the system will consist of excavating level trenches in the area comprising the absorption field. As shown in the attached septic layout plan, the trenches will be oriented perpendicular to the natural slope and along a line of constant elevation to minimize the depth of excavation along the trench length. Each trench excavation shall be continued to a maximum depth of 36" BGS at the uphill side of the trench (see absorption field cross-section). After removal of surface soils, the open excavations will be disked or scarified to promote subsurface absorption. Followiiig completion of the initial push-outs, INFILTRATORS will be used to construct a septic effluent distribution system in the open excavations. The INFILTRATOR effluent distribution system will be installed in accordance with the "Infiltrator Technical Manual", available from Infiltr·ator Systems Inc., 123 Elm Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut06475. Adjacent INFILTRATORS shall be fastened with a minimum of four ( 4) 3/4" x #8 self-tapping sheet metal or bright brass deck screws to prevent movement and separation during backfilling. Septic effluent will be transfened from the upper trench to each of the adjacent downhill trenches through a serial distribution network as shown in the attached construction details. The serial distribution connections between adjacent trenches will facilitate the saturation of the up hill trench before septic effluent is allowed to flow to each of the adjacent downhill trenches. As sho\vn fa the attached Absorption Field Cross Section, the bottom of the INFILTRATOR seepage trenches will be located a maximum of 36" below ground level. The installation will provide 48" ofusable infiltration soil between the bottom of each INFILTRATOR trench and the underlying subsoils.· · · After the INFILTRATORS are installed, the absorption field will be covered with a soil cap. The soil cap will consist of approximately 24" of native soil. A minimum of 5% slope will be maintained to promote surface run off away from the absorption field. Because the absorption area (see attached septic layout plan) is located at a higher elevation than the septic tank, a lift station will be required to transfer effluent from the septic tank to the absorption area. As sho1V11 on the attached graphic, two 1,500 single compartment (i.e., interior baffle removed) will be placed in series to retain sewage effluent from the proposed field office. A duplex septic tank eftluent pump (STEP) will be placed in the final septic tank to deliver septage to the absorption area. As shown on the attached graphics, the STEP pump will consist of duplex Orenco pumps (model no. PF5005 I!) configured in an Orenco pump vault (model no. PVU57-2419-L). The STEP unit will be fitted with a 1- 1/4" discharge assembly. A 2" pressure transport line (SCHD 40) will be used to convey septage from the STEP unit to the absorption area. The 2" pressure line must be installed below a depth of 36" or insulated to prevent freezing. The installer must also confirm the setbacks from property lines, building envelopes, and existing easements shown in the attached graphics are maintained. Additionally, any unknown utility lines, easements, or other adverse conditions disclosed during construction must maintain the required setbacks listed on page 6 of this document. A minimum of 12" (18" recommended) of soil cover is required for all gravity flow effluent piping, the septic tank/lift station, and the absorption field (excepting maximum 8" soil cover over septic access ports). All non-draining pressure effluent piping must be covered with a minimum of 36" of cover or insulated to prevent freezing.

If at any time during construction, subsurface site conditions are encountered which differ from the design parameters developed in Section 2.0, construction activities will stop and the design engineer will be contacted to address anv necessary desiim modifications. • Installation procedures including grade, location, setbacks, septic tank size, and absorption field size shall confonn with the attached graphic details. Construction activities and system components will not encroach upon existing easements or utility corridors. A minimum of 6 ft of undisturbed soil shall be maintained between individual absorption elements and the septic tank and/or adjacent absorption elements. Minimum site specific setbacks for system components are'.

INFILTRATORS shall be placed level in the absorption field. All lines discharging sewage from the residence to the septic tank shall maintain fall of between 1/8 in. and 114 in. per foot and shall employ sweep 90's or 2-45's at all turns. Sewer lines from the structure to the septic tank and at least 6 ft from the septic tank outlet must meet minimum standard ASTM-3034. Sewer lines under driveways shall always meet minimum Schedule 40 PVC standards and shall be encased with corrugated metal pipe or flow fill and minimum 2" high density blue board when covered with less than 36" of soil. • A minimum of 12" of soil cover (18" recommended) shall be maintained over all gravity draining ISDS components to prevent freezing of septic effluent (excepting maximum 8" cover over septic access ports). Four in. sanitary clean-outs shall be installed at maximum 100' intervals in all gravity flow effluent lines exceeding 100' in length. • The installer shall not place fill in the open excavation until inspected and approved by Page 5 of8 the design engineer. Additionally, the final cover shall not be placed on sewer lines, septic tank, or the absorption area until the system has been inspected and approved by the design engineer. The installer shall provide 48 hour notice to the engineer for all required inspections. • The effluent distribution system shall be constructed in accordance with the "Infiltrator Technical Manual" available from Infiltrator Systems Inc., 123 Elm Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut 06475. • Adjacent absorption field trenches shall be connected by a serial distribution system to assure saturation of the upgradient trench before effluent is passed to the adjacent downgradient trench (see attached absorption field plan view and cross section details). • The surface cap shall be mounded 5% over the absorption field to promote surface runoff. • All pressure piping shall be min. Schd 40 PVC and have glued joints. • The septic effluent pumping system limit switching shall consist of: 1) low level/pump off, 2J high level/pump on, and 3) high level alarm/system failure. The high level a!ann shall be easily detectable by occupants. Emergency notification infmmation (e.g., telephone numbers of owner, Garfield County Environmental Health Department, service personnel) shall be posted near the high kvel alann. • All access manholes on septic tanks and dosing chambers will be child proof and contain appropriate warning labels if accessible·to the public. Confined space entry precautions should be observed by maintenance personnel. • The system contractor· shall be aware of the potential for construction activities to reduce soil penneabilities at the site through compaction, smearing, and shearing. The following precautions and construction procedures should be employed during installation to minimize disturbance to native soils: 1. E~cavation should proceed only when the moisture content of the soil is below the plastic limit. If a sample of soil fonns a rope instead of crumbling when rolled between the hands it is too wet and should be allowed to dry before excavation continues. 11. Excavation and backfill equipment should work from the surface where at all practical to avoid compactiori of the soils at depth. m. The bottom and sidewalls of the excavation should be left with a rough, open surface. The appearance should be that of broken or ripped soil as opposed to a sheared, smeared, or troweled surface. Any smoothed or smeared surfaces should be removed with a toothed rake or shallow ripper taking care to remove loose residues from the bottom of the excavation by hand if necessary. 1v. Care should be taken in placing fill materials in the excavation to avoid damaging the exposed soil surfaces. Page 6 of8 4.2 Operation -Maintenance and Inspections • The owner shall install a sh·uctural banier if necessary and take precautions to prevent vehicular traffic, excessive surface watering, accidental flooding, or other activities in the vicinity of the absorption field which may compact, saturate, or otherwise alter the subsurface soil parameters used in designing the septic system. • The owner will plant and maintain grass or other shallow rooted cover crop to prevent erosion and promote evapotranspiration over the absorption field. • The owner will inspect and maintain the required mounding and drainage away from the absorption field to prevent saturation from precipitation and surface flows. • To mitigate the generation of preferential flow channels which may compromise the operation of the system, the owner will inspect and prevent intrusion of burrowing animals and deep rooted plants into the absorption field. • The owner will conduct periodic maintenance of the septic system by removing accumulated sludge from the septic tank every 3-4 years to prevent clogging of the absorption field.

Page A-2 of A-2 March 24, 2009 Mr. Daniel I. Padilla Regulatory Advisor OXY USA WTP LP/OXY USA Inc. Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation 760 Horizon Drive #101 Grand Junction, CO 81506 Subject: Field Office -Preconstruction Habitat Assessment Garfield County, Colorado WALSH Project No. 7830-190 Dear Mr. Padilla: On August 19, 2008 WALSH personnel conducted a habitat survey in support of OXY USA WTP LP's (OXY) Field Office permitting efforts. The survey was conducted within a 0.25 mile buffer of the proposed expansion footprint. The site is located approximately 9.5 miles north-northwest of the town of De Beque, Colorado on privately owned lands in the SESW of Section 5, Township 7 South Range 97 West. See the attached figure for an illustration of the survey area and general location of the proposed field office. During the survey, habitat suitability was evaluated for federally listed and locally significant plant and animal species. This letter presents the results of the field survey and supporting literature searches. Site Description The proposed site for OXY's Field Office is on the valley floor, east of OXY's private Conn Creek Road, and approximately 800 feet north-northeast of OXY's guard station at the end of County Road 213. The proposed footprint is located within a fragmented sagebrush community. Pastureland borders the riparian corridor along Conn Creek where mature narrowleaf cottonwood and Gambel's oak are common. The surrounding slopes support an association of mountain shrub and sagebrush communities on the wetter north and east facing slopes, with sagebrush and desert scrub on the drier south and west facing slopes. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey for Garfield County indicates that soil at the site consists of Happle very channery sandy loam (3 to 13 percent slopes). This soil type is associated with alluvial fans and is comprised of Green river formation alluvium derived from shale parent material. This well-drained soil's ability to transmit water is considered moderately high to high and is designated as a nonsaline soil. Evidence of human activity is readily apparent throughout the area. The site is surrounded on all sides by active oil and gas facilities and their infrastructure. Those facilities include: the current field office location, =t-~Valsl1 immediately to the north and west; a well pad immediately to the """"" DXY .........,, east; a large staging area and produced water storage area to the south; and several pipeline corridors and Conn Creek Road to the west. Conn Creek Road is one of two access points for the uplands to the north and east. Vehicle traffic is present 24 hours a day with more traffic occurring during daylight hours and heaviest during shift changes. Species of Concern In preparing for the field survey, WALSH personnel examined habitat requirements for species identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service's (USFWS 2008) list of federally listed species known to occur in Garfield County. Additional consideration was given to habitat suitable for game _species protected by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW), and migratory birds, including raptors, protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. A preliminary inspection of the area for Garfield County listed noxious weed species (GarCo, 2007) was also conducted. Methods In evaluating suitable habitat for species of interest, WALSH personnel regularly reference the following: NatureServe Explorer (NatureServe 2008), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA 2008), Colorado Natural Heritage Program (Spackman et al. 1997), and Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW 2008a) (CDOW 2008b). During the field visit, WALSH personnel conducted a visual inspection of the survey area on foot and from a four-wheel drive vehicle. Observations were documented in field notebooks and supplemented with GPS units and digital cameras. Please see the attached figure and photo log for illustrations of field activities. Results During the field survey no suitable habitat was encountered for any of the federally listed plant species known to occur in Garfield County. There is no suitable raptor nesting habitat within the field office's proposed footprint. However, the cliff faces on the slopes above, and the mature trees found along the riparian corridor to the west provide potential habitat for nesting raptors. While the DOW has designated much of the upper portion of the valley as a winter concentration area for elk, it does not recognize any critical game habitat in this portion of the valley. There were no noxious weed infestations encountered during the field survey. However, Russian thistle, an undesirable invasive species, comprises greater than 95% of vegetation on previously disturbed surfaces in the area. In addition to this habitat assessment, noxious weed surveys were conducted in the area in 2006 and 2008 and results and management recommendations are presented in Appendix A. Conclusions Based on the results of the field survey and literature search, WALSH does not anticipate adverse effects to any of the federally listed or locally significant plant or animal species. Some migratory bird species may utilize the sagebrush habitat within the proposed disturbance footprint for nesting. In order to minimize the likelihood of unintended disturbance and/or the taking of nesting migratory birds or their young, WALSH recommends that shrub and tree clearing activities be performed outside of the May 1 to August 1 nesting period. The dominance of Russian thistle, and the overall condition of the reclaimed pipeline ROW and wellpad fill slope to the east of the proposed location, indicate that OXY's current reclamation protocol should be revised. Hydromulch provides good slope stabilization, however, it also provides a physical obstruction to seedling germination for preferred plant species. In the future, to improve germination and reclamation success, WALSH recommends discontinuing the use of hydromulch except in uneven and sloped terrain, and moving instead to a combination of drill seeding on flat to gently sloping terrain, and broadcast seeding and netting on slopes where the use of drill seeding equipment may be unsafe. To remediate the current problems associated with this area, WALSH recommends reseeding these reclaimed areas this fall to promote regrowth of preferred species next spring. In order to achieve long term reclamation success, seed mixes should be certified weed free and consist of an appropriate combination of native species. Regular monitoring for, and treatment of, noxious weeds is also critical to successful reclamation.

Noxious weed infestations were found in the Valley, the Mesa, and Logan Wash areas. However, noxious weed infestations were relatively low in proportion to the amount of disturbance caused by the oil and gas development in the area . Site Description: OXY's property has been divided into three different noxious weed management areas, hereinafter referred to as the Valley, the Mesa, and Logan Wash. These areas were designated based on either ecology or geography. Since the proposed site for OXY's field office is located in the Valley, only the Valley will be mentioned in this report. The Valley consists of facilities (well pads, compressor stations, etc) and linear features (roads and pipelines) found along Conn Creek and its tributaries at an elevation below 7,500 feet. These relatively dry valleys have long growing seasons, high average temperatures, and low annual precipitation rates. The vegetative communities in this area are dominated by the following associations: sagebrnsh, pinyon-juniper, dese1t scrnb and, on moist no1them aspects ( and along Conn Creek, mountain shrub and gambel oak. The proposed sites for OXY's Compressor Station, Field Office and Centralized E and P sites are all located in the Valley at approximately 6,000 feet. Methods: Vi s ual inspections of all OXY USA WTP LP (OXY) well locations and acce ss roads were conducted in 2006 by Paller and Girard and in 2008 by Walsh. The main goal of the inventories is to indentify Garfield County designated noxious weeds on or near OXY facilities. The results of the inventories are used to manage the weeds so as to bring OXY into compliance with State and local weed management ordinances. Surveys will continue to assess the condition of previously-treated weed infestations and indentify new infestations. These follow up surveys will provide valuable information on the effectivenes s of treatment methods and revegetation efforts. Results and Discussion: The following results come from the September 2006 and July 2008 surveys. Overall results are below with detailed survey data found in Tables 1 and 2. Infestations were relatively low in the Valley throughout 2006 and 2008. In 2006, Houndstonge was found alongside Musk Thistle in scattered patches beside the entrance road and east side of the Cascade Creek facility (see Table 1). Heavy infestations of Houndstonge and Musk Thistle were also found at the Con Creek Facility. Then in 2008, Canada Thistle and Houndstonge were found on 6 points (see Table 2) with low to moderate (5-25%) cover in b oth the bud and .::\... :\i\lrusl1 flowering stage. 5 of the 6 infestations were found on the roadside along Conn Creek and the sixth infestation was found a few hundred feet to the east upslope on a west-facing slope (see Table 2). The heaviest infestation was at point 070808-004 and 005. These points contained two bunches of Canada thistle, approximately ten by fifteen feet in size, next to the road on a hill west of pad 620-33, and they also contained Houndstonge on the same hillside. Noxious weeds were absent on the proposed OXY's Compressor Station, Field Office and Centralized E and P sites. However, during a habitat assessment of the proposed Compressor Station on September of 2008, Musk Thistle and Houndstonge were noted along the access road f pipeline corridor running between the water facility to the nmth and the compressor station to the south. Documented infestations appeared to be restricted to the reclaimed pipeline corridor on the west side of the access road. These results indicate that noxious weed infestations in the Valley increased from six infestations in 2006, to eight infestations in 2008. ) .=\-Mhlsl1 Table I. 2006 Noxious Weed Inventory (Paller and Girard) AR.EA::1,,l'',1:11 C.OCATION::,-_1UNIQUEID,·.10ATE-:· ,., .. , COMMON .NAME-::-~~ QWf,fERSHIP~, ~ '''I''.·.····· •. •·· ,,,. > .. ········•·!'{ .. :···· ·(<'···· ...•... ·· Surface· :\:·:·:::i'. : .. ::::.'.""

Management techniques include cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical strategies. Cultural controls involve seeding with native plants and reducing grazing intervals to promote plant growth. Mechanical control is the removal of the infestation manually or with equipment. Biological control involves using insects that feed only on certain noxious weed species. Combined approaches have often proved most effective. The optimum method or methods for weed management will vary depending on a number of site specific variables. Factors to be considered include soil type and stability, grade, associated vegetation, existing and proposed land use, proximity to water, availability of irrigation water, weed type and stage of growth, and severity of infestation. The management method selected should be the most effective at mitigating and eliminating noxious weeds, but be practical and financially reasonable. When considering weed management on a property, initial areas to be treated are always those which are likely to transport weed seeds. These areas include ditches, streams, roadsides, driveways, trails, livestock concentrated areas, and equipment storage sites. The following recommendations are intended to be a reference for weed management in Garfield County. The information is not intended to be a complete guide to weed management. Specific chemical recommendations are available from the Garfield County Vegetation Management Department and/or licensed applicators and are not listed in this Plan (Garfield County, 2002). Please see Appendix D for recommended treatment methods for each species. OXY's area of operations are within the BLM Grand Junction Field Office (GJFO) jurisdiction The GJFO noxious weed management plan is currently under revision, therefore the Glenwood Springs Field Office (GSFO) plan will be followed as it is likely to be similar. The following treatment methods are requirements from the GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan. The Grand Junction BLM weed management specialist, Sparky Taber, should be contacted for timing and treatment of each weed species (BLM 2007). According to the GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan, the operator shall implement the best available weed control technique(s) at the appropriate times based on the life history of the weed species. • A Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) shall be approved by the BLM prior to use of herbicides on BLM lands {Appendix E). • Only adjuvants (chemicals designed to enhance the effects of other chemicals) and herbicides approved by the BLM shall be applied to BLM lands. • A Pesticide Application record shall be filled out each time pesticides are applied to BLM lands. The operator shall maintain these records for a minimum of three years. • Infestations of all List A species and designated List B species shall be immediately reported to the appropriate County Weed Manager. • Herbicide use shall follow application rates, restrictions and warnings listed on the label. • In situations where noxious weeds have escaped from the project area into adjacent sites, the infested areas shall be treated to prevent further expansion into uninfested areas and reinfestation of the treated area. Landowner permission must be obtained prior to such treatment. • The operator shall use pesticide applicators licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (BLM 2007). Based on BLM GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan requirements, Walsh has identified the following preventative measures. • Inventory proposed development areas prior to ground-disturbing activities. If noxious weeds are encountered they shall be treated or removed to prevent further infestations. If the treatment timing is not species appropriate for the weed species, ground activities can proceed. • A Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) shall be prepared by OXY and approved by the BLM prior to use of herbicides on BLM lands. • Certified weed-free grass mixture is to be planted on disturbed laud. • Topsoil stockpiles are to be revegetated to promote a healthy microbial environment in the soil. As stated by the BLM GSFO, native or non-native, non-persistent sterile grasses may be used to seed stockpiles. • Certified weed-free mulch must be used in reclamation. It is recommended that vehicles that have traversed areas with noxious weed infestations be power washed to remove mud and debris from tires and the vehicle's undercarriage as soon as possible after exposure to weeds. Wash water should be contained in an area that cannot harbor noxious weeds (e.g. commercial car wash). This action will remove seeds and is a preventative measure in stopping the spread of noxious weeds. Management Stategies: Based on the treatment methods from the previous section, Walsh proposes the following management strategies: Prevention: Preventing the spread of existing noxious weeds is essential in the management process. Noxious weeds have an affinity to areas of disturbance such as roads, pipelines, and right-of-ways (ROWs) and are easily spread to these locations. Seeds and transplants can adhere to clothing, mud on tires, hay, or transplanted noxious ornamental plants. Minimizing or eliminating these factors can greatly reduce the occurrence of noxious weeds. Areas with known noxious weed infestations should be avoided by vehicles and personnel until the weeds have been eradicated. Revegetation and Rehabilitation: Revegetating an area that has been cleared of noxious weeds or otherwise disturbed can be instrumental in preventing the reestablishment of noxious weeds, guarding against erosion, providing cover for wildlife forage, and in reducing visual impact. Revegetation is site specific and native plants should be used whenever feasible. However, if reclamation is the desired effect, non- aggressive grasses and forbs can be used. .=...~Valsl1 The following is an OXY standard seed mix derived from the previous noxious weed plan provided by Paller and Girard Inc. Additional seed mix recommendations from the BLM can be found in Appendix H. OXY Standard Seed Mix Species Russian Wild Ryegrass VNS Mountain Brome, Bromar Orchardgrass, Paiute Intermediate Wheatgrass, Oahe Regreen404 Crested Wheatgrass, Hycrest Pubescent Wheatgrass, Luna % live seed 16.86 16.86 16.36 15.98 14.70 8.24 8.09 Note: The recommended seed mixtures should be applied with a broadcast seeder followed by harrowing with a sharp-toothed harrow to achieve a cover depth of 114 to 2 inches. If mulch is used it should be certified weed-free straw or hay or packaged hydromulch. Revegetation projects should be evaluated one year after completion. If revegetation is not proceeding as expected, the cause(s) should be determined and appropriate measures taken to try and increase success rates (P&G 2007). Garfield County has developed the following items to use as tools in the planning process. A Soil Plan including the following: • Provisions for salvaging on-site topsoil • A timetable for eliminating topsoil and/or aggregate piles e A plan that provides for soil cover if any disturbances or stockpiles will sit exposed for a period of 90 days or more A Revegetation Plan including the following: • Plant material list (scientific and common names required). • Planting schedule (timing, methods, and provisions for watering, if applicable). • A map of the impacted area, including any area which might be disturbed by machinery used during revegation. • A revegetation bond A Revegetation Security may be required if, in the determination of the Board of County Commissioners, the proposed project has: • A potential to facilitate the spread of noxious weeds • A potential to impact watershed areas • A potential to negatively impact public viewing corridors • Steep slopes (15% or greater) or unstable areas • The possibility of disturbing large areas (half acre or greater) (Garfield County 2002) ~\\hlsl1 As stated by the Garfield Management Plan, the revegetation security will be determined by the Board of County Commissioners. Securities will be site-specific and based on the amount of disturbance. The security shall be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the following Reclamation Standards. The Board of County Commissioners will designate a member of their staff to evaluate the reclamation prior to the release of the security (Garfield County 2002). Conclusions: The noxious weed problems encountered during the 2006 and 2008 inventories were relatively small in relation to the size of the production area. However, few populations were noted in the same areas as were found in the 2008 surveys, indicating that the treatment methods implemented by OXY have reduced the number of existing populations. Additional infestations of previously treated weeds and the emergence of Russian Knapweed, demonstrate the need for biannual monitoring, yearly chemical treatments and reseeding with native plants. ( BASIC TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OXY USA WTP LP Field Office GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO O'\oLSSON ASSOC I A TES OA Project No. 2008-2180 May 2009 826 21 Yz Road I Grand Junction, CO 815051970.263.7800 I Fax 970.263.7456 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE This Basic Traffic Analysis summarizes the impacts for a proposed field office facility located on a property accessed from Garfield County Road '(CR) 213 (Conn Creek Rd). The project site is located on a private road approximately 4 miles north of the County Road 204/County Road 213 intersection. See the Figure 1 in Appendix A. The office facility will be constructed, operated, and reclaimed in four (4) phases. These phases include: •First Construction Phase -ISDS Construction (15 days) • Operation (25 years) • Second Construction Phase -Stick-Built Structure Construction (60 days) • Reclamation (30 days) It is expected that the lifespan of the site will be approximately 25 years. EXISTING NETWORK This office facility will be accessed from a private road approximately 800' northeast of the guard shack located at the end of CR 213. According to the Garfield County Road Inventory Report, CR 213 is classified as Local. CR 213 is a two lane gravel surface roadway with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. According to traffic counts (Garfield County October 2007) the ADT for CR 213 is 271 vehicles per day (vpd). OXY enforces a 20 MPH speed limit on the private road providing access to the proposed office facility. TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS Traffic projections included in this analysis are intended to encompass all vehicular impacts to the roadway for the forecast years 'Of 2019 and 2034. Traffic growth for this area is greatly dependent on regional economic activity and the impacts of the natural gas exploration and production industry. Based on an assessment of historic and current development activities, a conservative growth rate for all traffic of 5% was assumed. This rate was applied to the existing counts to obtain background traffic utilization encompassing the cumulative impacts for the forecast years of 2019 and 2034. This planning horizon was chosen as it corresponds with construction, operation and reclamation of the proposed office facility. This results in an expected ADT of 439 vpd in 2019 and 610 vpd in 2034. OXY USA WTP LP Field Office Basic Traffic Analysis 1 May 5th, 2009 TRIP GENERATION/DISTRIBUTION Trip generation is generally determined using rates found in the ITE Trip Generation manual. Rates from this publication are applied to values related to the size of the proposed site to estimate the trips expected to enter and exit the site. In this case, the proposed office facility will not exceed a maximum of twenty-five (25) employees. The following table summarizes the expected average and maximum trips for each phase discussed previously. Table 1: Trip Generation -Field Office Facility Average Maximum Percent Total Phase Phase Traffic/Dav Traffic/Dav Trucks Traffic/Phase Duration ISDS Construction 5 8 20% 75 15 days Operation 25 28 0% 225000 25 years Stick-Built Construction 16 18 5% 960 60 days Reclamation 12 18 21 % 360 30 days Note that the estimated lifespan of the site is expected to be approximately 25 years. It should also be noted that much of the traffic generated by this use is currently traveling to and from the subject property as the employees are required in the field for daily production operations. Therefore, much of the traffic is already accounted for in the current AD Ts. Current ADT's and expected trip generation are shown in Figure 2 in Appendix B. CONSTRUCTION PHASE Temporary access points will not be required during construction phases for this project. No staging activity will be conducted within the County right-of-way. The entrance to the subject property is from CR 213 and is already permitted by the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department; therefore, no additional permits are required. There will be no road closures or traffic interruptions during the proposed construction phases. Less than 20% of the total traffic generated during the first construction phase (ISDS construction) is anticipated to be heavy truck traffic. This impact results from a single trip from the delivery of ISDS equipment on an 18- wheel flat bed truck. The second construction phase (Stick-Built Construction) is anticipated to be approximately 60 days in duration. The truck traffic associated with the second phase will primarily be delivering and retrieving equipment and is anticipated to be less than 5% of the total traffic associated with this phase. OXY USA WTP LP Field Office Basic Traffic Analysis 2 May 5'", 2009 AUXILIARY LANE ANALYSIS As defined in the Garfield County Road Inventory Report, CR 213 Functional Classification is Local, set by Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Auxiliary lanes will not be required as a result of the proposed office facility. EXISTING PARCELS Current land use on the parcel is primarily natural gas development and agricultural activity. One access exists and is permitted by Garfield County. No access to state highways or railroad crossings will be required. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the trip generation rates discussed above,_ the increase in average daily traffic is not expected to be significant, and will not increase traffic volumes on county, state or federal road systems by 20%. Particularly in light of the fact that the traffic generated by is required to travel to the subject property daily as they are required in the field for as a component of production operations. The best-case scenario during operation of the facility is that there would be no net increase in traffic post construction. Based on the results of the analysis, no mitigation is recommended for the office facility.

John Ocana (Grand Junction Office) 3. Electronic Copy No other copies will be considered complete or up to date. 4.0 Facility Description: · Note: The background information in this section is not required by 40 CFR part 112. However, it is recommended that facility background information be provided Cascade Creek Field (the Field) is located in Garfield County in western Colorado in Township 6 South, Range 97 West. The field produces natural gas and condensate. The typical production stream is separated at the wellhead into liquids and gas using a three- phase heated separator. Gas then flows via flowline to the Conn Creek Gas Plant for additional separation and compression. Liquids are collected by truck at each well site. 4.1 Facility Operations In this section describe your facility's day-to-day operations, including hours of operation, personnel, and operational history. In your description include a discussion of the modes of transportation used for receiving products and raw materials (e.g., pipeline, railcm~ tanker truck). General operations of the Cascade Creek Field include several primary activities, including the drilling of natural gas wells, production of natural gas, storage of liquid, delivery of materials, transport of products, maintenance of equipment, storage and treatment of production water, and several other key activities. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 3 Numerous storage containers are used throughout the Field. The main purpose of these containers is the storage of produced materials, byproducts, water, treatment chemicals, and other liquids. There is a large amount of vehicle traffic to, from, and within the Field and a moderate amount of refueling of vehicles occurs on-site. Refueling and maintenance stations are treated in much the same manner as the other storage facilities on-site. Several minor treatment, preparation, and production processes take place at the Field. These processes take place in one of the following on-site facilities: gas plant, central water facility, evaporation ponds, production pits. Above ground piping and trucks are the primary modes transportation used for receiving and distributing products and raw materials at the Field. Pipes convey produced materials from the well pads to the gas plant. Trucks load and unload products and raw materials by hooking up to tank outlets and valves. 4.2 Facility Storage Jn this section describe all types of oil products storage at ourfacility including oil products stored in aboveground .~forage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), oil-filled electrical equipment (e.g., circuit breakers, transformers), spill tanks, oil/water separators, vapor recove1y unit portable tanks, drnm storage, and trucks which hold oil product and are parked on site. The Cascade Creek Field is made up of numerous natural gas well pads, each of which containing bulk storage containers used for the storage of products and materials key to the production and operation of the wells. Materials stored on-site cons1st of natural gas· condensate, methanol, diesel, gasoline, bulk oil, used oil and other chemicals. Storage containers with the potential to spill at sites within the Field include aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), elevated tanks, and 55-gallon drums. Each natural gas well pad is home to, among other various tanks, at least one natural gas condensate tank. In addition each pad may have containers containing methanol, corrosion inhibitors, water, diesel fuel, and other liquids key to the operation or maintenance of the wells. Fmther detail regarding the number, size, and contents of storage containers at each of the well pads included in this plan is included in the Bulk Storage Containers Tables (item !) on the site specific forms. The identification and description of contents for each container listed in the tables is also noted on the site sketch diagrams included on the fonns. These forms are included in Attachment I. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page4 .5.Walsh 4.3Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters This section should describe the facility's proximity to bays, rivers, streams (perennial or intermittent), creeks, ditches, flood control channels, storm drains, and other waterways. Hydrological systems should be diagramed or described. The well pads that make up the Cascade Creek Field are situated throughout a large area of varying terrain. Pads are located within one of three sub-fields: the Mesa, Logan Wash, and Valley fields. Each of these sub-fields has a separate drainage pattern based on the specific topography of each sub-field area. In some cases, pads are located within several feet of surface water bodies, and in other instances, flow distances exceed three qua1ters of a mile. Also, the flow paths range from flat terrain to extremely steep terrain. Flow patterns follow both natural and man-made drainage features. Each well pad is unique. Further detail regarding the drainage pathway and distance to navigable waters at each of the well pads included in this plan can be found in item 5 on the site specific forms. These forms are included in Attachment 1. 5.0 Physical Location and Diagram [112,7(a)(3)]: 112. 7(a)(3) Describe in you Plan the physical layout of the facility and include a facility diagram, which must mark the location and contents of each container. The facility diagram must also include all transfer stations and connecting pipes. Figure l presents a layout of the sites within the Cascade Creek Field. The sites included in this plan are highlighted. The physical layout of each of the sites covered in this plan_ is included in Attachment !. Also included in Attachment l is a site by site listing of containers, container contents, potential spill sources and an assessment of the existing secondary containment. 6.0 Reporting Information and Procedures [112.7(a)(4)]: 112. 7(a)(4) Provide response information and procedures in your Plan to enable a person reporting a discharge to relate information on the exact address or location and phone number of the facility; the date and time of the discharge; the type of material discharged; estimates of the total quantity discharged; estimates of the quantity discharged as described in 112.1 (b); the source of the discharge; a description of all affected media; the cause of the discharge; any damages or injuring caused by the discharge; actions being used to stop, remove, and mitigate the effects of the discharge; whether an evacuation may be needed; and the names of individuals and/or organizations who have also been contacted. Emergency personnel and equipment can be provided by the DeBeque Fire Authority (Call 91 l). If there is a petroleum release, the first responding employee that discovers the spill reports the spill to the Facilities Engineer or to the OXY Grand Junction office. Names and phone numbers for the individuals are located in Appendix A. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 5 =walsl1 The Facilities Engineer will immediately report to the site and, if necessary, utilize equipment stored on-site to assist with cleanup operations. In addition, cleanup assistance can be obtained directly from Old West (contact information included in Appendix E). The Facilities Engineer will also contact the appropriate agencies and report the release. If there is a petroleum release or suspected release of harmful quantity to the navigable waters of the U.S., it will be repo11ed to the following regulatory agencies immediately: I) Colorado State Inspector of Oils Denver, CO 303-620-4029 2) National Response Center Washington, DC 800-424-8802 (24 hour phone) or US Environmental Protection Agency Region VIII Response Center One Denver Place -Suite 500 999 18th Street Denver, Colorado 80202-2405 303-293-1788 (24 hour phone) When contacting these agencies, the following information must be provided: • responsible company/person, including exact address and telephone number; • name of person reporting the release; • date and time of release; • type of material discharged; • estimate of the quantity released; • waterway affocted, including amount reaching water; • source of the discharge; • a description of all affected media; • cause ofrelease; • damages or iqjuries caused by the discharge; • action taken to stop, remove, and mitigate the effects of the release; • whether an evacuation is needed; • names and/or organizations who have also been or will be contacted. 7.0 Potential Spill Predictions, Volumes, Rates, and Control [112.7(b)]: 112. 7(b) Where experience indicates a reasonable potential for equipmentfai/ure (such as tank ove1jlow, rupture, or leakage), the plan should include a prediclion of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of each mqjor type of failure. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 6 The site specific fonns for each of the well pads include summary tables which identify the quantities of each storage container (item l) and the direction of flow (item 5). These forms can be found in Attachment l . · Discharge prevention measures, including procedures for routine handling of products (loading, unloading, facility transfers, etc.), are described in the loading/unloading procedures in Appendix F. Several scenarios have been evaluated to attempt to predict spill volumes and rates. In the first scenario a spill is predicted to occur from over filling of a tank due to the lack of a high level alarm. In this scenario, it is assumed that the loading truck would be pumping at approximately 20 gallons per minute. In a second scenario, a valve failure might result in a spill at a rate of 5 gallons per minute. The third scenario, involving a puncture or damage to the wall of a tank could potentially release at 250 gallons per minute. Again, each individual site will be addressed based on site specific conditions. While bulk storage containers at each of the well pads are handled individually, in general, bulk oil storage containers are pla~ed. inside of secondary containment. The capacity of secondary containment areas for bulk oil storage containers is sized to contain the capacity of the largest container plus aJlowance for precipitation frceboard. This method of establishing sufficient secondary containment capacity has been the industry standard and approved by EPA for years and is mentioned in the Preamble to the Final SPCC Rule (Federal Register Volume 67, Number 137). Piping or process equipment is either placed inside of secondary containment or operated in a manner to minimize the potential for leak.s or spills. Drip pans are provided for equipment such as pumps, compressors, loading·hoses, etc. that may have potential for drips and leaks during operation. Equipment integrity assurance procedures and equipment inspections arc key parts of these prevention effo1ts. The facility discharge discovery, response and cleanup capabilities are described in the discharge evaluation and event report and the emergency response procedures included in Appendices C and E, respectively. Housekeeping and early detection of leaks and spills are key patts of preventing oil from reaching waters of the U.S. Drainage ditches, process areas, and other areas where the potential of a spill entering a water source is most significant, are inspected on a regular basis. Prompt discovery, response and cleanup of oil will follow contingency plan procedures. The facility has established methods of disposal for recovered materials in accordance with applicable legal requirements in the emergency response procedures in Appendix E. In general, field personnel will coordinate the proper disposal of any waste materials as a result of a spill with the Operations Manager, with other assistance available as needed. Management and disposal of such materials will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal, state and local requirements.

The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil a11d must be constructed so that a11y discharge from a primaiy containment system, such as a tank or pipe, will not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs. At a minimum, you must use one of the following prevention systems or its equivalent: (1) Onshore facilities: 8.1.1.1.1.1.1 Dikes, berms, or retaining 1l'(J/ls siifficiently impervious to contain oil; 8..].1.1.1.1.2 8.1.1.1.1.1.3 8).1.1.1.1.4 8.1.1.1.1.1.5 8.1.1.1.1.1.6 . 8.1.1.1.1.1.7 8.1.l.I.2 (2) 8.1.1.1.3 8.1.1.1.4 Curbing; Culverting, gulters, or other drainage s:vstems; Weirs, booms, or other barriers; Spill diversion ponds; Retention ponds; Sorbent materials . Offshore facilities: (i) Curbing, drip pans; (ii) Sumps and collection systems. Containment and diversionary structures are provided where appropriate. While the layout of each well pad varies, in general, secondary containment structures have been provided in order to prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable water course. The containment systems have been designed and constructed so that discharge from any of the primary containment systems (i.e. tanks) will not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs. In addition to secondary contaimnent structures, in some cases diversionary structures such as ditches have been constructed in order to dive1t discharge away from water courses in the immediate vicinity of a potential spill source. The size and configuration of secondary containment structures at a particular well pad is based on the available space and the required containment of the tanks al that specific pad. Sketches and photographs of the secondary containment structures are included on the site specific forms contained in Attachment I. 9.0 Inspections, Tests and Records [112.7(e)]: 112. 7(e)Conduct inspections and tests required by this part in accordance with written procedures that you or the cert!fYing engineer develop for the facility. You must keep these written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests, signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector, with the SPCC Plan for a OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 8 .s?:.Walsh period of three years. Records of inspections and tests kept under usual and customary business practices will sziffice for the purposes of this paragraph. Per l 12.6(c)(4), each aboveground container will be tested/inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever material repairs are made. The appropriate qualifications of personnel performing tests and inspections and the frequency and type of testing and inspections, which take into account container size, configuration, and design will be determine, in accordance with industry standards. The owner or operator will keep comparison records (records of inspections and tests kept under usual and customary business practices will suffice) and to inspect the containers' suppo1is and foundations. The owner or operator also will conduct frequent inspection of the outside of the container for signs of deterioration, discharges, or accumulation of oil inside diked areas. Each bulk oil container is visually inspected for deterioration and maintenance needs, including the foundation and support of each container located on or above the surface of the ·grotind. All containers undergo: .I. . Routine Operational Examination: Monthly or by exception. visual examination. and repo1iing of equipment malfunctions or leaks identified by operational personnel or technician (Appendix B). -2. External Condition Examination: Annual or by. exception examination of container exterior using "Component Examination Log".

OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page IO Ben Greinke is the designated person at the facility who is accountable for oil spill prevention. Ben Greinke may be contacted by telephone at (970) 985-0965. 10.3 Spill prevention briefings 112. 7(/)(3) Schedule and conduct discharge prevention briefings for your oil- handling personnel at least once a year to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for thatfacility. Such briefings must highlight and describe known discharges as described in Sec. I I 2. I (b) or failures, malfimctioning components, and any recently developed precautionwy measures. The Facility conducts prevention briefings for oil-handling personnel at least once a year to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for the Facility. These briefings include discussion of potential discharges or component failures and recently developed precautionary measures. Documentation of Personnel, Training, and Discharge Prevention Briefing programs is maintained for a minimum period of three (3) years. Log fom1s can be obtained through the Production Office in Grand Junction, Coloti!do. 11.0 Site Security [112.7(g)]: 11.1 Fencing 112. 7(g)( 1) Fully fence each facility handling, processing, or storing oil, and lock and/or guard entrance gates when the facility is not in production or is · unattended. The facility deviates from security requirements in that fencing, lighting, and locked entrance gates are not provided as these are oil production facilities and provision of such security would be impractical. Security is enforced at the fleld. Guard shacks are located at all entrances to the Field. Workers and visitors must check in and out upon arrival and departure. No unauthorized entty is allowed. Several individual sites have fencing installed around the tank batteries. Information regarding the fencing at each well pad can be found in item 9 on the site specific fonns included in Attachment l, 11.2 Flow Valves Locked 112. 7(g)(2) Ensure that the masterjlow and drain valves and any other valves permitting direct outwardjlow of the container's contents to the swjace have adequate security measures so that they remain in the closed position when in non-operating or 11011-standby status. Information regarding the flow valves at each well pad can be found on the site specific forms included in Attachment l. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 11 11.3 Starter Controls Locked 112. 7(g)(3) Lock the starter control on each oil pump in the ''ojf" position and locate it at a si!e accessible on~v lo authorized personnel when the pump is in a non-operating or non-standby slat us. Infotmation regarding the starter controls at each well pad can be found on the site specific forms included in Attachment I. 11.4 Pipeline Loading/Unloading Connections Securely Capped 1I2. 7(g)(4) Securely cap or blank-flange the loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines or facility piping when not in service or when in standby service for an extended time. This security practice also applies to piping that is emptied of liquid content either by draining or by inert gas pressure. Information regarding the pipeline loading/unloading connections at each well pad can be found on the site specific forms included in Attachment I. ln addition, loading/unloading warning signs and procedures are inciuded in Appendix F. 11.5 Lighting Adequate to Detect Spills I 12. 7(5) Provide facility lighting commensurate with the type and location of the facility that will assist in the: (i) Discovery of discharges occurring during hours. of darkness, both by operating personnel, if present, and by non-operating personnel (the general public, local police, etc.); and (ii) Prevention of discharges occurring through acts of vandalism. No security lighting is in place, as it has been determined not necessary based on the overall security operations of the entire field. While no permanent site security lighting is used at the well pads, portable lighting is available for use during activities perfotmed at night as well as for emergency operations. Additionally, permanent lighting is provided at the guard shacks as well as at the Gas Plant and Water Facilities. Infonnation regarding the lighting at each well pad can be found in item 8 on the site specific fonns included in Attachment 1. 12.0 Facility Tank Car and Truck Loading/Unloading Operations [112.7(h)J: 12.1 Secondary Containment for Vehicles 112. 7(h)(l) Where loading/unloading area drainage does not flow into a catchment basin or treatment facility designed to handle discharges, use a quick OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 12 =-Walsh drainage system for tank car or tank truck loading and unloading areas. You must design any containment system to hold at least the mw:imwn capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank truck loaded or unloaded at the facility. Condensate is unloaded from bulk storage tanks at each site using tank trucks. Secondary containment for tank trucks is not provided at the well pad sites based on several prohibitive an.d limiting site conditions. First, explosion hazards exist due to the potential for trapping flammable vapors near an engine (an ignition source). Therefore, a secondary containment or enclosed area is not practical. Second, very limited site sizes do not allow for the construction of additional containment specifically for the loading and unloading operations. Additionally, land uses require minimized surface impacts which precl.ude construction of major drainage systems at tank load out points. In orde.r to maintain control of the loadi°ng and unloading operations, standard practices require that all tank truck loading is attended continuously by.the truck driver. In case of an incident, the truck driver can get to th_e controls to shut them off within 2 to 5 minutes. All loading and unloading trucks will be required to carry spill kits. 12.2 Warning or Barrier System for Vehicles 112. 7(h)(2j Provide an interlocked warning light or physical barrier system, warning signs, wheel chocks, or vehicle break interlock.system in loading/unloading areas to prevent vehicles from departing before complete disconnection of flexible or fixed oil transfer lines. The secondary containment structures (HES CO barrier or metal wall type) make up the barrier systems to prevent vehicle damage to the tanks at each pad. In cases where high traffic exists, metal or concrete bollards are installed. Refer to the field sketches contained in the site specific forms for detail on each well pad configuration (Attachment 1 ). Signs are posted as several of the individual well pads warning truck drivers to check all valves and connections to make sure they are securely tightened and closed before leaving the site. Example loading/unloading warning signs and procedures are included in Appendix F. 12.3 Vehicles Examined for Lowermost Drainage Outlets Before Leaving 112. 7(h}(3) Prior to filling and departure of any tank car or tank truck, closely inspect for discharges the lowermost drain and all outlets of such vehicles, and if necessmy, ensure that they are tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent liquid discharge while in transit. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 13 It is the responsibility of each individual vehicle driver to closely inspect the vehicle drains and outlets for any discharges, loose caps, or necessary adjustments or replacements in order to prevent discharge while in transit 13.0 Repair, Alteration, Reconstruction or Change in Service [112.7(i)]: l 12J(i) If a field-constructed aboveground container undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or a change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure due to brillle fi'acture or other catastrophe, or has discharged oil or failed due to briflle fi"acture failure or other catastrophe, evaluate the container for risk of discharge orfailure due to brittle fraciure or other catastrophe, and as necessmJ', take appropriate action As discussed previously in Section 9, per l l2.6(c)(4), each aboveground container will be tested/inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever material repairs are . made. If the AST undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or change in service, it will be evaluated for the risk of discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe. Qualified contractors and personnel will perform all repair, alteration, and/or reconstruction activities according to accepted industry ·practices and regulations . . 14.0 Facility Drainage [112.8(b)]: 14.1 Drainage Control JI 2.8(b)(J) Restrain drainage fi"om diked storage areas by valves to prevent a discharge into the drainage ;yste111 orfacility effluent treatment syste111, except where facility systems are designed to control such discharge. You may empty diked areas by pumps or ejectors; however, you must manually activate these pumps or ejectors and mus/ inspect the condition of the accumulation before starting, to ensure no oil will be dischm·ged. Tank battery and separation and treating area dike/containment drains are not present at the sites. Should drainage from dike/containment areas be necessary, it is perfonned using vacuum trucks. If oil is detected in containment areas or in field drainage systems, the removal procedures and the requirements for disposition of the recovered product are included in Appendix C. Drainage from undiked areas is not confined in a catchment basin or holding pond. There are no bulk oil storage containers not within secondaiy containment present at the facility. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 14 =wais11 14.2 Valves used on Diked Area Storage l l 2.8(b)(2) Use valves of manual, open-and-closed design, for the drainage of diked areas. You may not use flapper-type drain valves to drain diked areas. lf yourfacility drainage drains directly into a watercourse and not into an on-site wastewater treatment plant, you must inspect and may drain uncontaminated retained stormwater, as provided in paragraphs (c)(3)(ii), (iii), and (iv) of this section. This section is not applicable, as no diked area drains or valves are used. 14.3 Plant Drainage Systems from Undiked Areas ll 2.8(b)(3) Design facility drainage systems from undiked areas with a potential for a discharge (such as where piping is located outside containment walls or where tank truck discharges may occur outside the loading area) to flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins designed to retain oil or return it to the facility. You must not locate catchment basins in areas subject to periodic flooding. Facility drainage systems have been designed to handle stormwater events only. These .drainage systems consist of ditches, culvetts, and swales. 14.4 Final Discharge of Drainage 112.8(b)(4) If facility drainage is not engineered as in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, equip the final discharge of all ditches inside the facility with a diversion system that would, in the event of an uncontrolled discharge, retain oil in the facility. As discussed in the previous section, overall facility drainage is designed to handle only sto1mwater. All potential discharges wi 11 be contained by secondary containment structures designed with sufficient capacity to contain a discharge until clean up occurs. 14.5 Facility Drainage Systems and Equipment 112. 7(e)(lj (5) Where drainage waters are treated in more than one treatment unit and such treatment is continuous, and pump transfer is needed, provide two ''lift" pumps and permanently install at least one of the pumps. Whatever techniques you use, you must engineer facility drainage systems to prevent a discharge as described in Sec. 112.1 (b) in case there is an equipment failure or human error at the facility. This section is not applicable, as no equipment is necessary in the facility drainage systems. 15.0 Bulk Storage Tanks/Secondary Containment [112.8(c)]: OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 15 15.1 Tank Compatibility with its Contents 112.8(c)(I) Not use a container for the storage of oil unless its material and construction are compatible with the material stored and conditions of storage such as pressure and temperature. Infonnation regarding tank compatibility with contents can be found in the site specific forms included as Attachment I. In general, the material and construction of bulk storage containers are compatible with the material stored and conditions of storage such as pressure and temperature. 15.2 Secondary Containment 112.8(c)(2) Construct all bulk storage container installations so that you provide a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and siif.ficient ji-eeboard to contain precipitation You must ensure that diked areas are szif.ficient/y" impervious to contain discharged oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits are commonly employed/or this pwpose. You may also use an alternative system consisting ofa drainage trench enclosure that must be arranged:~o that any discharge will terminate and be safely.confined in a facility catchment basin or holding pond. . . All bulk storage container installations are constructed so that a secondary means of containment is provided for the entire capacity of the largest single container and sufficient frecboard to contain precipitation. The secondary containment areas are sufficiently impervious to contain discharged oil. Specific information including the size and the configuration of the secondary containment structures at each well pad can be found in the site specific forms included in Attachment 1. Calculations conducted in order to determine whether the secondary containment structures were of sufficient size are included in Attachment 2 15.3 Diked Area Inspection and Drainage of Rainwater 112.8(c)(3) Not allow drainage of uncontaminated rainwaterji"om the diked area into a storm drain or discharge of an effluent ii!lo an open watercourse, lake, or pond, bypassing the facility treatment system unless you: (i) Normally keep the bypass valve sealed closed. (ii) Inspect the retained rainwater to ensure that its presence will not cause a discharge as described in Sec. 112.1 (b). (iii) Open the bypass valve and reseal ii following drainage under responsible sipervision; and (iv) Keep adequate records of such events, for example, any records required under permits issued in accordance with Secs. 122.41 {j){2) and 122.41 (m)(3) of this chapter. Most stormwater which enters secondary containment areas that surround bulk storage containers is removed by natural infiltration and evaporation. Should drainage from dike/containment areas be necessary, it is perfonned using vacuum trucks. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 16 S.'Valsh 15.4 Corrosion Protection of Buried Metallic Storage Tanks I I 2.8(c)(4) Protect any completely buried metallic storage tank installed on or afier Janumy 10, 197 4 fi'om corrosion by coatings or cathodic protection compatible with local soil conditions. You must regularly leak test such completely buried metallic storage tanks. This section is not applicable, as there are no buried metallic storage tanks on-site. 15.5 Corrosion Protection of Partially Buried Metallic Tanks I 12.8(c)(5) Not use partially buried or bunkered metallic tanks for the storage of oil, unless you protect the buried section of the tank from corrosion. You must protect partially buried and bunkered tanks from corrosion by coatings or cathodic protection compatible with local soil conditions. There are several partially buried metallic tanks on-site. Information regarding the coJTosion protection provided can be found on the individual site specific forms included in Attachment l. . 15.6 Aboveground Tank Periodic Integrity Testing I 12.8(c)(6) (6) Test each aboveground container/or integrity on a regular schedule, and whenever you make material repairs. The frequen9; of and type of testing must take into account container size and design (such asjloating roof, skid-mounted, elevated, or partially buried). You must combine visual inspection with another testing technique such as hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emissions testing, or another system of non- destructive shell testing. You must keep comparison records and you must also inspect the container's supports and foundations. In addition, you must frequently inspect the outside of the container for signs of deterioration, discharges, or accumulation of oil inside diked areas. Records of inspections and tests kept under usual and customary business practices will s1iffice for purposes of this paragraph. Aboveground storage tanks, containment systems, and associated equipment arc inspected on a monthly basis. During inspections, the above ground storage tanks, containment systems, simounding surface areas, piping, valves, and all other applicable equipment are inspected for signs of deterioration and leaks. A formal visual external inspection will be performed every five years (AP! 653) or at the quaiter corrosion-rate of the shell, whichever is less. Periodic internal inspections will be made in accordance with API 653 as well. Pressurized piping and leak detectors associated with the ASTs are tested annually in accordance with state regulations. 15.7 Corrosion Protection of Buried Metallic Storage Tanks I 12 (7) Control of leakage through internal heating coils: I 12.8(c)(7(7) Control leakage through defective internal heating coils by monitoring the steam return and exhaust lines for contamination from internal OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 17 ~ @iM.~ .;, " y . . heating coils that discharge into an open watercourse, or pass the steam return or exhaust lines through a settling tank, skimmer, or other separation or retention system. This section is not applicable as no internal hating coils are used. 15.8 Tank Installation Fail-Safe Engineered I 12.8(c)(8) (8) Engineer or update each container installation in accordance with good engineering practice to avoid discharges. You must provide at least one of the following devices: (i) High liquid level alarms wi1h an audible or visual signal at a constantly attended opemtion or surveillance station. Jn smaller facilities an audible air vent may suffice. (ii) High liquid level pump cutoff devices set to stop }low at a predelermined container content level. (iii) Direct audible.or cqde signal communication between the container gauger and the pumping station. (iv) A fast responsq system for determining the liquid level of each bulk storage container such as digital computers, telepulse, or direct vision gauges. ff you use this alternative, a person must be present to monitor gauges and the overall filling of bulk storage containers. (1'.) You must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation. The ASTs at the facility are constructed of welded steel in accordance with UL 2085, NFPA 20, and AP! standards, are grounded, and are compatible with the fuel products that they hold. High liquid level alarms are installed on several of the tanks at the facility. It is the intent of the owner to install high liquid level alarms on newly installed tanks. Not all tanks are equipped with high liquid level alarms; however, in all cases, qualified personnel are present during filling of bulk storage containers. Information regarding the presence of level alarm devices and the inspections and testing of these alanns is included on the monthly inspection forms included in Appendix B. 15.9 Observation of Disposal Facilities for Effluent Discharge I I 2.8(c)(9) Observe ejjluent treatment facilitiesji-equently enough to detect possible system upsets that could cause a discharge to nm•igable wafers. This section is not applicable, as no effluent treatment facilities are included in this Plan. 15.10 Visible Oil Leak Corrections from Tank Seams and Gaskets l l 2.8(c)(l 0) Proinptly correct visible discharges which result in a loss of oil fi·om the container, including but not limited to seams, gaskets, piping, pumps, valves, OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 18 =.\Valsh rivets, and bolts. You must promptly remove any accumulations of oil in diked areas. Any oil leaks identified through routine work activities or site inspections are promptly cotTected by facility maintenance personnel. Minor spills due to leaks are cleaned up with absorbent material. A qualified spill contractor shall be used for larger spills and spills to navigable waters. 15.11 Appropriate Position of Mobile or Portable Oil Storage Tanks l 12.8(c)(l l) (11) Position or locate mobile or portable oil storage containers to prevent a discharge as described in Sec. 112. l (b). You must furnish a secondmy means of containment, such as a dike or catchment basin, sz!lftcient to contain the capacity of the largest single compartment or container with szif.ficientfi·eeboard to contain precipitation. All mobile or portable oil storage tanks are placed in a means of secondary containment. Refer to the site specific forms in Attachment 1 for more information regarding the quantity, size, contents, lucat_iqn, and provided secondary containment for mobile or portable tanks. 16.0 Facility Transfer Operations [112.8(d)]: 16.1 Buried Piping Installation Protection and Examination 112.8(d)(l) Provide buried piping that is installed or replaced on or after August 16, 2002, with a protective wrapping and coating. You must also cathodically protect such buried piping installations or otherwise sati~fY the corrosion protection standards for piping in par/ 280 of I his chapter or a State program approved 1111der part 281 of this chapter. If a section of buried line is exposed.for any reason, you mus/ carefitl~v inspect ii for deterioralion. I/you.find corrosion damage, you must undertake additional examination and corrective aclion as indicated by the magnitude of the damage. For information on specific well pad buried ptpmg installation protection and examination refer to the site specific forms included in Attachment l. The following are provided for the corrosion protection of flowlines: I. Protective coatings 2. Cathodic protection (buried pipe) 3.

The following mechanical devices or controls are used for loss prevention or mitigation: l. Check valves 2. High I Low pressure control OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 19 3. Controlled block valves The following flowline inspection I monitoring procedures are used: 1. Periodic leak surveillance and inspection of buried flowlines when uncovered 2. Periodic external inspection for aboveground 3. Pipe wall thickness measurements based on remaining life (aboveground metallic flowlines -performed by qualified inspectors 4. Selected bellhole examinations (buried flowlines) 5. Cathodic protection monitoring (buried flowlines) 6. Inhibitor performance monitoring 16.2 Not-In-Service and Standby Service Terminal Connections 112.8(d)(2) Cap or blank1/ange the terminal connection at the transfer point and mark it as to origin when piping is not in service or is in standby service for an extended time. All not-in-service and standby service terminal connections are capped oi· blank-flanged at the transfor point and are marked as to origin. 16.3 Pipe Supports Design 112.B(d)(J) Properly design pipe supports to minimize abrasion and corrosion and allow for expansion and contraction. All pipe suppmts are properly designed to minimize abrasion and corrosion and allow for expansion and contraction. 16.4 Aboveground Valve and Pipeline Examination l 12.8(d)(4) (4) Regularly inspect all aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances. During the inspection you must assess the general condition of items, such as flange joints, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal swfaces. You must also conduct integrity and leak testing of buried piping al the time of installation, modification, construction, relocation, or replacement. All aboveground valves and pipelines are scheduled for regular inspection to assess the general condition of items such as flange joints, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal surfaces. Integrity and leak testing of buried piping is also performed during installation, modification, construction, relocation, or replacement. OXY Cascade Creek Field SPCC Plan Page 20 .=:waJsl1 16.5 Aboveground Piping Protection from Vehicular Traffic 112.8(d)(5) 5) Warn all vehicles entering the facility to be sure that no vehicle will endanger aboveground piping or other oil transfer operations. Where available space allows, aboveground piping is installed out of the way of vehicular traffic. In cases where aboveground piping is situated in high traffic areas, bollards and/or warning signs will be installed. 17.0 Impracticability [112.7(d)]: 112. 7 ( d) Jj the containment and/or diversionmy structures or equipment required by the rule to prevent a discharge can be implemented, they are referred to by the rule as practicable and are described in the Plan. If not practicable, the following provides a description of the impracticability. As discussed in Section 12.1, secondary containment around loading/unloading areas can create a potential explosion hazard by trapping flammable vapors near an engine (an ignition source) that often must remain running during the loading operations to power the transfer pump. Because the tank truck should not be parked or left standing near a building or in a depressed or enclosed area ·that will trap vapors or collect liquids which are ignitable, it is not practicable to have secondary containment for the loading/unloading areas.

Cascade Creek S WMP OXYUSA INTRODUCTION This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) is written to comply with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE) General Permit No. COR- 038414 issued on July 1, 2007 (expires on June 30, 2012) and related U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water regulations. This SWMP addresses construction activities associated with development of the natural gas resources for OXY USA WTP LP, in the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development. A copy of this permit can be found in Appendix A. This field-wide SWMP was prepared to address storm water management practices at areas disturbed by construction and drilling activities associated with natural gas development within Cascade Creek (Permit No. COR-038414.) This SWMP is intended to be revised as necessary to address planned developments, new disturbances, and other changes needed to manage storm water and protect surface water quality. Storm Water Runoff Permitting Requirements The Federal Clean Water Act [Section 402(p)] requires that discharges of pollutants to waters of the U.S. from any point source be regulated by·NPDES permits. In November· 1990 the EPA published final regulations that established application requirements for storm water associated with construction activity for soil disturbances of 5 acres or more be regulated as an industrial ·activity and covered by an NPDES permit. In December. 1999 the EPA published final Phase II NPDES regulations that established application requirements for storm water associated with construction activity for soil disturbances to be regulated as an industrial activity and covered by an NPDES permit. These regulations became effective July 1, 2002. On June 30, 2005, Colorado storm water regulations went into effect to require Colorado Discharge Permit System (CPDS) permits for storm water discharges from construction activities for (1 acre or greater) oil and gas activities. Federal permit coverage for these discharges was conditionally exempted from the Federal Clean Water Act by the 2005 Federal Energy Bill. On February 1, 2006, the CDPHE issued a letter clarifying that the CDPHE Water Quality Control Commission decided to maintain the existing requirements for storm water permitting for oil and gas construction sites greater then 1 acre. Project Description The Cascade Creek wells will be located within Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 28, 29, 32, 33, and 34 of Township 6 South, Range 97 West; Sections 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 35, and 36 of Township 7 South, Range 96 West; and Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27 and 28 of Township 7 South, Range 97 West, of Garfield County in Colorado. The town of Debeque, Colorado is the nearest population center. The Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development will be located approximately 13 miles north of DeBeque (Figure1 ). The current drilling and development plan includes pad construction, access road improvement/construction, pit construction, installation of associated facilities, well drilling, well completion, well testing and pipeline construction. The total area of site including the Page 1 Cascade Creek SWMP OXYUSA natural gas well pads, the access roads and gathering system pipeline will be 25,000 acres. Total disturbed area is approximately 350 acres. Project Owner and Operator The property owner and operator is OXY USA WTP LP.

Contractor(s) will perform the actual construction and drilling, but all work will be supervised by OXY and all decisions will be made by OXY. This SWMP will be revised as necessary to address new disturbances, construction or operation. Depending on the type and location of new facilities there may be a need for inclusion of new and different BMPs. In general, new development should be planned with consideration for storm water quality (e.g. minimize disturbed area and maximize distance from surface water drainages, as practicable). Page2 1 CONSTRUCTION SITE DESCRIPTION The following sections describe the site locations and provide a description of the construction arp--. Runoff characteristics of these areas are also described. 1. a Nature of Construction Activity The Cascade Creek wells will be constructed using conventional cut and fill earthmoving techniques. Typically, the working pad surface will have dimension of approximately 200 feet by 400 feet. Specific pad dimensions vary depending on the planned drill rig, number of wells to be drilled from each pad, and local terrain conditions. The well pad will be graded to drain the pad surface to the reserve pit and to direct runoff from surrounding areas away from the well pad and reserve pit. Each pad may have a reserve pit that is approximately 60 feet by 250 feet. Reserve pits will be used during activities to contain drilling fluids and cuttings. The reserve pits will be designed, constructed, and reclaimed according to Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) requirements. In areas that are disturbed by well construction, topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled near the site. Soil materials will be managed so that erosion and sediment transport are minimized. Nearby drainages will be protected by appropriate measures. If the well is not productive, it will be. plugged according to COGCC rules and the pad area reclaimed to approximate pre-construction contours. Reclamation and final stabilization will be conducted as described in Sections 4 and 7. Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development well pads and facilities are surrounded by the following Colorado Land Cover Classification Systems: Low Elevation Salt-Desert Scrub/Basin Big Sagebrush Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, Mountain/Wyoming Big Sagebrush Shrubland Mixed Mountain Shrubland including Oakbrush Spruce-Fir, including Mountain Meadows A vegetation description for each Cascade Creek pad is provided in Tables 1 & 2. Vegetative cover surrounding Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development ranges from 30-85%. Regional precipitation amounts vary from 10. 7 inches per year in Palisade, Colorado to 14.8 inches in Colbran, Colorado (Western Regional Climate Center). A Spill Prevention and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) has been prepared for the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development (Walsh, 2007). The SPCC plan will be updated as needed to incorporate new oil and gas facilities. 1. b Proposed Sequence for Major Activities Natural gas exploration, development and production activities are currently underway within the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development. For new disturbances, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be installed prior to, during, and immediately following construction as practicable with consideration given to safety, access, and ground conditions (e.g. frozen ground) at the time of construction. The development of natural gas wells is generally accomplished in three distinct work phases. The first phase is the Development (Construction/Drilling/Completion/Initial Reclamation), the second phase is th<i Production (Operation/Maintenance), and the third phase is the Abandonment and Final Reclamation. E work phase is briefly discussed below. Page3 Development (Construction/Drilling/Completion/Initial Reclamation) The Development phase includes the following activities; road and well pad construction, well drilling, well completion, gas line installation, and pad area reclamation. The well pad will be constructed and graded with a gentle slope to drain surface water to the reserve pit. Initial pad reclamation is accomplished by backfilling the reserve pit, contouring disturbed soils to conform with the surrounding terrain, replacing stockpiled topsoil, seeding of disturbed soil areas in order to reestablish a cover vegetation, and construction of erosion and sediment control structures. The completion of a well (gas production) generally triggers a one-year time period in which the reclamation phase of work should be completed. A listing of approved seed mixtures per vegetation land cover classification system identification is provided in Table 3. Production (Operation/Maintenance) The production phase includes the operation and maintenance activities during natural gas production. Gas pipelines are installed during this phase of work. Typical well pad equipment includes a wellhead, a separation unit and one to several 210-400-barrel capacity aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) containing condensate or produced water. Smaller sized ASTs may contain lube oil, methanol, and triethylene glycol. Reclamation activities during this phase include maintenance of revegetated areas and maintenance of the erosion and sediment control structures. Development of natural gas resources and associated construction activities will likely continue for the next 3 to 5 years. Natural gas wells in the Cascade Creek area are projected to produce for approximately 20 to 30 years. Abandonment and Final Reclamation · When the natural gas production of a well is exhausted it will be abandoned. Upon well abandonment each borehole will be plugged, capped, and all surface equipment will be removed. Subsurface pipelines will be removed to specified locations and plugged. The pad area will be reclaimed by contouring disturbed soils to conform to the surrounding terrain, by replacing the stockpiled topsoil, by seeding of disturbed soil areas in order to reestablish cover vegetation, and by construction of erosion and sediment control structures as needed. Once stabilization is achieved, defined as uniform vegetative cover established with a density of at least 70 percent of pre-disturbance levels, a well pad may be removed from this SWMP for sediment controls. However, if petroleum hydrocarbons or other chemicals impact storm water as a result of industrial activities onsite, the well pad will maintain permit coverage and ensure SPCC plan BMPs are maintained. 1. c Estimates of Site Acreages The total permitted area of the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development is approximately 25,000 acres. The total disturbed area is approximately 350 acres. 1. d Soil Data and Erosion Potential Runoff characteristics are based on site topography, soil type, and soil/vegetative cover. The soil types in this permitted area along with native vegetation land cover are described below in the Cascade Creek Soil Descriptions. The slopes range from 3% to steep rock outcroppings. Pre-disturbance ground cover varies from 30 to 85 percent. For specific pad percent ground cover information refer to Tables 1 & 2. Storm water runoff receiving waters include unnamed tributaries Conn Creek and Cascade Canyon. The ultimate receiving water is the Colorado River. Cascade Creek Soil Descriptions According to the NCRS, soil for the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development consists of the following soil types: Page4 1.

Vegetative cover surrounding Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development ranges from 30-85%. Regional precipitation amounts vary from 10. 7 inches per year in Palisade, Colorado to 14.8 inches in Collbran, Colorado (Western Regional Climate Center). A Spill Prevention and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) has been prepared for the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development (Walsh, 2007). The SPCC plan will be updated as needed to incorporate new oil and gas facilities. 1. f Potential Pollution Sources Due to numerous sites within the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development, a list of locations of potential pollution sources would be too expansive and not comprehensive. For an accurate location and listing of potential pollutants please refer to the site specific inspection forms. The following paragraphs list the possible pollutants. Potential pollution sources associated with construction sites and natural gas development include: Sediment resulting from erosion of soil stockpiles and other areas cleared of vegetation; Sediment discharges from vehicle tracking; Page 6 Leakage of fuels and lubricants from equipment and spills from fueling; Trash and debris from clearing activities, construction materials, and workers and; Leakage or spills from storage tanks and process equipment associated with the natural ga" development activities. The most common source of pollution from pad and access road construction is sediment, which can be carried away from the work site with storm water runoff and impact the water quality of a receiving stream. Clearing, grading, and otherwise altering previously undisturbed land can increase the rate of soil erosion over pre-disturbance rates. Petroleum products can also be potential storm water pollutants. These products are used in construction activities to power or lubricate equipment and include: fuel, gear oil, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and grease. Debris from laydown areas, residue from equipment cleaning and maintenance, and solid waste generated from land clearing operations and human activity (trees, brush, paper, trash, etc.) present other potential pollution sources within the construction site. Additionally, one or more facilities may contain construction supplies such as various sized pipe, culverts, metal sheds, empty tanks, drums and vessels, fencing and stairs. Construction of new production facilities may require the use of concrete. Concrete wash out waters will be managed to prevent. them from reaching waters of the state. Typically concrete wash out waters will be diverted to the well pad flare pit or other type of earthen impoundment to capture and evaporate wash out water. Loading and unloading of condensate and produced water from above ground storage tanks are common and regular activities within the Cascade Creek. Spills and or tank over flows can contaminate storm water rury Magnesium chloride solution or other chemical dust suppressants may be applied during the summer tv unpaved roads to order to reduce fugitive dust generation. Magnesium chloride solution is used in the winter for roadway deicing and in the summer for dust suppression by county and state government entities. The solution is typically delivered to the site by contractors in Department of Transportation (DOT) approved tanker trailers and generally is quickly applied to the road surface. Occasionally, depending on work site conditions, the tanker trailers may be staged along the road until ready for application (typically no longer than overnight). Spills or leaks from potential sources are described in the SPCC plan; the SPCC plan can be located at the Conn Creek Facility. Response to certain events may require specialized training due to health and safety concerns. For a list of down-hole chemicals/MSDS inventory used during development activities please refer to Appendix B. 1. g Anticipated allowable non-stormwater discharges Non-stormwater discharges are not expected from the construction projects. Possible exceptions include fire prevention/suppression or dust control activities. If there are any uncontaminated springs located within the construction sites, they will be listed on the site specific maps. Landscape irrigation return flow, construction dewatering, and concrete washouts are slated to be a part of this operation. If these are encountered, they will be noted in the SWMP and on the site specific maps. Construction dewatering will also be covered under the appropriate permitting if found. 1. h Receiving waters For a list of the receiving waters for the Cascade Creek Common Plan of Development, please refer to Ti.-.e 4-0XY Drainages spreadsheet.

BMPs will be chosen according to the potentials on a case by case basis. 3) management of contaminated soils will be done by containment immediately and disposing of them at an appropriate disposal facility. 4) loading and unloading operations will be evaluated and identified for potential for pollution. The following is the procedure for dealing with liquid loading and unloading procedures; Oxy/Cascade Creek Water Handling Procedure: * Authorization for Cascade Creek on-lease water movement shall be approved by OXY Plant Operator, Production Technician or Production Coordinator * Point of origin and discharge shall be identified prior to the movement of any water (produced, flowback or fresh). * Discharge valve at point of discharge shall be verified in open position and secured in open position. * Operator shall drive distributipn system route verjfying all risers are blind fla119ed .(tapped w/needle valve) and valves are properly secured open. * Operator shall be present at discharge point before transfer pumps are started and engaged. * Operator shall inspect transfer pump according to check-list to identify and correct any operational issues. * Point of origin operator shall notify point of discharge operator of intent to engage and pump water. * Point of origin operator shall monitor rate and pressure maintaining acceptable timits within the design capabilities of distribution system. * Point of discharge operator shall monitor discharge into permitted water storage. pond. * Point of discharge operator shall then drive distribution route and inspect for leaks or spills. * Upon completion of water movement, lines shall be purged of all liquids to prevent freezing, pumps shall be drained and properly secured, and all valves shall be secured properly. Spills will be handled according to the SPCC guidelines. 5) outdoor storage activities will be evaluated for potential to pollute Storm Water runoff. Appropriate BMPs will be implemented on a case by case basis. Containment and prevention of contact with stormwater will be achieved by keeping materials with potential for pollution covered or enclosed in containers or packaging. 6) vehicle and equipment maintenance and fueling procedures require the operators to ensure that no fluids or materials are spilled. If they are spilled, they will be immediately contained and disposed of at an appropriate disposal facility. 7) significant dust or particulate generating processes will be evaluated and regulated by the application of water to eliminate possible wind erosion or transport. 8) routine maintenance activities involving fertilizers, pesticides, detergents, fuels, solvents, & oils will be very infrequent. When applying pesticides or herbicides, wind and moisture conditions will be evaluated and if either are found to be present and could possibly lead to contamination, such procedures will be delayed and attempted again when conditions are conducive to application without elevated pollution possibilities. Page 9 9) on-site waste management practices (waste piles, liquid wastes, dumpsters, etc.) will be enacted on all sites. Trash receptacles will be located on all active sites. Good housekeeping principles will be enacted throughout the entire permitted area. Disposal will be by contractors with appropriate handling equipment. 10) concrete truck/equipment washing, including the concrete truck chute and associated fixtures and equipment will be infrequent within the permitted area. These procedures are covered under the permit. If washing of concrete trucks and equipment takes place, the water will be contained in an earthen basin. The location will be noted on site specific maps. 11) dedicated asphalt and concrete batch plants will not be present within the permitted area. 12) non-industrial waste sources such as worker trash and portable toilets will be contained in receptacles designed for the specific purpose. These will be disposed of by contractors with specially designed equipment and dispose of according to local requirements at appropriate facilities. 13) other areas or procedures where potential spills can occur will be evaluated on a case by case basis and BMP's will be implemented according to the specific potential for pollution. 3.c BMPs for StormWater Pollution Prevention 3.c.1 Structural Practices The description and application practices of structural practices available and/or implemented can be found ir the BMP manual. The location of structural BMPs will be found in the site specific maps. 3.c.2 Non-Structural Practices The description and application practices of non-structl}ral BMPs available and/or implemented will be found ir the BMP manual. The location of non-structural practices will be found in the site specific maps. 3.c;3 Phased BMP installation For a list of phased BMP installations, please refer to Table 2. 3.c.4 Materials Handling and Spill Prevention Fuels and Materials Management Petroleum products which may be present at the construction site include: gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricant oils, hydraulic oils, used oils, and solvents. Gasoline and diesel fuel will be stored in portable storage tanks with secondary containment. Lubricant, hydraulic, and miscellaneous oils and solvents will be stored in 55-gallon or smaller containers. Pollutants from petroleum products used during construction activities adhere easily to soil particles and other surfaces. In case of a spill or leak, soils contaminated with petroleum products will be contained and removed to a proper disposal site. Proposed soil erosion and sediment control practices will aid in retention of spills or leaks. Use of secondary containment and drip pans will reduce the likelihood of spills or leaks contacting the ground. Proposed maintenance and safe storage practices will reduce the chance of petroleum products contaminating the road site. Oily wastes such as crankcase oil, cans, rags, and paper containing oils will be placed in proper receptacles and disposed of or recycled. An additional source of petroleum contamination is leaks from equipment and vehicles. Routine daily inspections will be conducted to identify leaks and initiate corrective actions, if needed. The following guidelines for storing and managing petroleum products will be used: • All product containers will be clearly labeled. • Drums will be kept off the ground within secondary containment and stored under cover if needed. • Fuel tanks will be stored within secondary containment. • Lids of drummed materials will be securely fastened. • Emergency spill response procedures will be available on-site. Persons trained in handling spills will be on call at all times. Page 10 • Spill clean up and containment materials (absorbent, shovels, etc.) will be easily accessible. Spills will be immediately cleaned up and contaminated materials will be properly stored on site until they can be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. • Storage areas and containers will be regularly monitored for leaks and repaired or replacea necessary. Contractors and subcontractors should be reminded about proper storage, handling and transferring of petroleum products or other hazardous materials during safety meetings. Oxy's Health and Environmental Regulatory Advisor {HES) will coordinate agencies reporting and statements. All spills and releases of exploration and production waste or produced fluid exceeding 5 barrels (210 gallons) including those contained within unlined berms, shall be reported in writing on the COG CC Spill/Release Report Form 19 within 1 O days of discovery of the spill. All spills/releases that exceed 20 barrels (840 gallons) of exploration and production liquids/waste shall be verbally reported to the COGCC at {303) 894-2100 within 24 hours of discovery. Spills or releases of any size that impact or threaten to impact any waters of the state, residence or occupied structure, livestock or public byway, shall be verbally reported to the COGCC as soon as practical after discovery (COGCC Rule 906). If the spill may reach waters of the state (which includes surface water, ground water and dry gullies or storm sewers leading to surface water),. it must also be reported immediately to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)'at 1-877-518-5608. Spills or releases of more than 25 gallons of refined petroleum crude oil products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, or derivatives of mineral, animal or vegetable oil shall be reported to the state of Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safely at (303) 318-8547 within 24 hours. . . A hazardous substance release in any amount which enters or threatens to enter waters of the state shall be reported to Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE). All spills, leaks, or overflows that result in the discharge of pollutants will be documented. Other Chemicals Products Management Additional materials will be used and stored on site for use in construction. These· materials will be stored appropriately and managed lo minimize spills and leaks. Storage areas will be regularly inspected and any minor spills or leaks will be cleaned up immediately. Materials Management The construction contractor will maintain a laydown or staging area for equipment and materials storage on site. These areas will be maintained with good housekeeping and will be inspected on a regular basis for spills, leaks, and potential of materials commingling with storm water runoff. 3.c.5 Dedicated Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plants There will be no dedicated Concrete or Asphalt batch plants within the permitted area. This SWMP will be amended if this changes in the future. 3.c.6 Vehicle Tracking Control Vehicle tracking control will be minimized by the construction of roads and travel areas by good engineering principles. Roads ·will be properly graded to control runoff and erosion. Road surfaces will be upgraded by the addition of gravel or roadbase being placed on the roadway surface. BMPs will be installed along roadways to control runoff and sediment. 3.c.7 Waste Management and Disposal including Concrete Washout Waste Management and Disposal Page 11 Well pad construction and drilling will generate various other wastes during the course of construction (please refer to the SPCC plan & the Waste Management Plan (WMP). Other wastes may include the following: Sagebrush, shrubs and trees from clearing operations; Trash and debris from construction materials and workers; Drill cuttings, drilling fluids; and Sanitary sewage. Each of these wastes will be managed so as to not contribute to storm water pollution. Construction trash and debris will be collected in containers and hauled off-site for disposal in suitable landfills. Sanitary waste will be containerized in portable toilets or other storage tanks with waste materials regularly pumped and transported off-site for disposal at approved facilities. 3.c.8 Groundwater and Stormwater Dewatering Stormwater runoff will be separated from contamination and dewatering by diversion and grading. The two wil not be allowed to come in contact with each other. This is not anticipated at this time. If in the futun dewatering of any kind takes place, the SWMP will be amended to reflect the changes. For the installation and implementation details and specifications associated withal BMPs, please refe to the BMP manual. 4 FINAL STABILIZATION AND LONG TERM STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Areas which have been disturbed are considered to be stabilized when a uniform vegetative cover with a density·of 70 percent of the pre-disturbance levels has been established or when an equivalent permanent, physical erosion reduction method is in-place. The disturbed areas·will be seeded and mulched for final stabilization. Table 3 contains state approved seed mixtures and distribution rates for the Cascade Creek area. Typical Pure Live Seed (PLS) application rates are recommended to be doubled if seeding is performed by hydroseed or broadcasting. · Seed mixtures and application rates are also specified in Application to Drill documents and are based upon several factors including facility and well pad surrounding vegetation, soil types, elevation and surface relief. Areas not used for facilities, access roads, materials storage yards, or other work areas will be stabilized with vegetation. Areas that are stabilized with vegetation will be considered to have achieved final stabilization when a uniform stand of vegetation with a density of at least 70 percent of the pre-disturbance has been established. Sprayed on mulches and other slope stabilization materials may be used in combination with seeding techniques in select areas to promote and establish surface vegetation cover. Other areas which may include facilities, access roads, materials storage yards, and other work areas will be stabilized with the use of permanent, physical erosion reduction methods which include, but are not limited to: • Surface hardening -covering of the soil surface with hardened products such as concrete or asphalt pavement. • Surface covering -covering of the surface soil with structure that inhibits contact of precipitation with the soil surface which is generally considered to be placement of a structure (building or tank) over the soil surface. • Gravel surfacing -gravel surfacing will be applied in areas such as access roads, materials storage yards, and other work surfaces. Some gravel may be lost due to erosion from intense precipitation events or due to vehicle traffic. Gravel surfaces will be periodically inspected to determine the need for gravel replacement. Gravel surfaces will be replaced or repaired (through grading) when inspection reveals that the gravel surface is no longer effectively covering the soil surface. Page 12 5 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE To meet requirements of Storm Water General Permit No, COR-038414, inspection and maintenanc-' erosion and sediment controls must occur during the construction project. Continued inspection maintenance is required for specific structures after construction is completed, A complete list of active inspection locations, site diagrams and site specific storm water BMPs are provided in the inspection report book kept with the SWMP, Inspections will occur at least once every 14 calendar days and after a precipitation event or snowmelt events that cause surface erosion, The inspection of stormwater BMPs serves as a preventative maintenance plan for the control devices and practices designed to prevent and minimize the pollution of state waters, The inspections procedures will document the following items; 1) The inspection date; 2) Name(s) and title(s) of personnel making the inspection; 3) Location(s) of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site; 4) Location(s) of BMPs that need to be maintained; , . 5) Location(s) of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; 6) Location(s) where additional BMPs are needed that were not in place at the time of inspection; 7) Deviations from the minimum inspection schedule as. provided in Section C.6.a above; 8) Description of corrective action for items 3, 4, 5, and 6, above, dates corrective action(s) taken, and measures taken to prevent future violations, including requisite changes to the SWMP, as necessary; and 9) After adequate corrective action(s) has been taken, or where a report does not identify any incidents requiring corrective action, the report shall contain a signed statement indicating the site is in compliance with the permit to the best of the signer's knowledge and belief. Permanently stabilized areas will be inspected at least once per month. A log of inspections will be completed and maintained at the Conn Creek Facility, and the Colorado office for a minimum of three years. Inspections are not required for disturbed areas when snow cover exists over the entire site for an extended period as long as melting conditions do not exist. Part l.D.6(a)(3) • Snow cover conditions where there is no risk of surface erosion can exist at high elevations within the Colorado mountains during some periods of the year. It is not necessary for inspections to be conducted during these periods. (taken from Public response 5/31/07) Water quality will be visually assessed for all receiving streams and discharge areas during each inspection if present. Disturbed areas and material storage areas that are exposed to precipitation will be inspected for evidence of pollutants entering nearby drainages. Check dams, wattles, and other BMPs will be inspected for evidence of deterioration, under-cutting, and build up of sediment. Sediment will be removed when it has built up one-third to one-half the height of the hay bales or wattles. Roads used for vehicle access will be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment transport. For maintenance procedures of BMPs, please refer to the BMP manual. This will also show criteria for maintenance. The SWMP will be modified as necessary whenever there is a change in design, construction or operation that changes the potential for pollutant discharge to waters of the state. Page 13 An inspection report summarizing the scope of the inspection, the name of the person conducting the inspection, date of inspection, and observations relating to the implementation will be prepared. An inspection report is provided in Appendix D. Actions taken to modify storm water control measures will be recorded and maintained with the SWMP. If no deficiencies are found during the inspection, the report contains a certification statement that the site is in compliance with the SWMP and the General Permit. Personnel performing facility inspections such as access roads, well pads or other operational facilities will record site conditions on the Storm Water Field Inspection Report form in Appendix D. When deficiencies are discovered, the OXY Storm Water Administrator will be contacted and will direct designated subcontractors to perform BMP maintenance or replacement. Maintenance will include prompt adjustments and repairs to erosion and sediment control structures that are found to be performing inadequately or deteriorating. Signs of rill or gully surface erosion shall be immediately repaired. The OXY Storm Water Administrator has the authority and will direct subcontractors to install new and or additional storm water control BMPs as needed.

This operation includes drilling, producing wells with associated productiq equipment and structures, several miles of natural gas and water gathering lines, a compresso, station and a natural gas processing plant. The district office for Rockies is located in Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado. The corporate headquarters and support office for OXY-Rockies operations is in Houston, Texas. Most of the OXY-Rockies operations in Garfield County are located in rugged terrain, away from public access or direct influence. The enclosed maps show the general route of the field roads, well-site locations and major above-ground facilities. Natural gas is a safe, clean, dependable fuel used in millions of homes for cooking, heating, cooling and drying. It is also used by many commercial and industrial customers. Although typically safe to us, natural gas is an energy source and must be properly handled and does require a certain amount of caution when being produced and used. Natural gas is not poisonous; however, it does displace oxygen in enclosed spaces and may cause suffocation. In its pure state, natural gas is odorless. Odorants, in low concentrations, are added when the gas enters local distribution systems for safety purposes to serve as a warning of natural gas presence. DO NOT trust your sense of smell to identify a gas leak. The most effective method used by natural gas companies to locate leaks is with an instrument designed to "sniff" or locate leaks. A pipeline leak can be indicated by the following signs: (1) blowing sound; (2) dirt being blown into the 9ir; (3) bubbles or water being blown into the. air when the pipeline is located in a water source; (4) fire emanating from the ground or burning above the ground; (5) vegetation turning brown on or nea,-- 1 the right-of-wa,y; (6) persistent odor associated with natural gas. ' ' Natural gas is lighter than air and will not travel or accumulate close to the ground, as will liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or gasoline fumes. It will rise quickly and be diluted in the atmosphere unless it is trapped within an enclosure. In order for natural gas to burn, it must be combined with air to a perfect mixture. When the gas is between 4 -14% combined with air, it will readily ignite. Natural gas is compressible. It is compressed before entering transmission pipelines. OXY- Rockies compressor and pipeline systems fully comply with state and federal standards for construction and operation. For production purposes, natural gas may also require the reduction and/or elimination of excess fluids and hydrocarbons. Separators and triethylene glycol dehydration units are located at well locations and at the Conn Creek Treating Facility. The OXY-Rockies Conn Creek Treating Facility treats incoming natural gas for reduction of carbon dioxide through the use of Diethanolamine (DEA), as required prior to acceptance into the distribution pipelines. The gas processing facility is not staffed 24 hours per day; however, emergency contacts are posted at the entry to the facility or with the 24 hour security guard force at the property entrance. Internal operations are monitored through eledronic output with alerting capabilities 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This facility is located on OXY property. There are no residents within 1 mile of the facility. Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page4 Public Safety OXY-Rockies has operating procedures in place that are intended to protect the public and :ts employees from undue harm. In addition, the Company follows strict codes of compliance for the rotection of public and Company property and the natural environment. When a concern for public safety is encountered within the OXY-Rockies area of operations, OXY·Rockies should be notified immediately!!! OXY-Rockies employees and consultants are trained and equipped to handle unexpected conditions associated with the Company's natural gas production, gathering and processing systems. Emergency response organizations will be utilized where necessary and to assist with the public and neighboring properties during emergencies. The following procedures cover emergency response guidelines that address anticipated emergency scenarios and define training required for employees engaged in oil or gas exploration and production operations. The degree to which this emergency response plan will be activated will depend entirely on the nature of the occurrence. The Rockies Employee Emergency Response (ERP) Manual will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect current activity and to increase effectiveness of the plan through discussions among all people involved. This ERP has been shared with Garfield County officials including the Local Emergency Response Commission (LEPC). The plan has also been distributed to the Mesa County Fire and Emergency Services' Department in DeBeque, Colorado. OXY-Rockies coordinates routine visits to the OXY project area with the local responding units to better fah1iliarize the responders and the OXY-Rockies employees with changes to current facilities, locations and h.azardous substances which may be encountered during an actual emergency. These visits may include providing emergency services with access points, safe approach procedures and chemicals 11sed and/or stored on OXY property. The routine site visits also include training for OXY .1ployees and contractors on project layout, established muster locations and fire protection equipment. Many times, this information can mean ready control of a fire or other emergency instead of a disaster. Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page5 Emergency Response Plan (ERP) Outline I. Emergency Recognition and Prevention In the event of an emergency resulting from industrial accident, forces of nature, or enemy action, there are certain problems that can be anticipated. The purpose of this plan is to outline the responsibility for meeting such problems and to establish methods for handling the emergency with the least exposure to personnel and property. For the purpose of this plan, an emergency is considered to be any condition which requires assistance over and above that which can be supplied by the normal personnel present at the time or which cannot be handled in a routine manner. A first aid incident or minor fire which is limited to a small area, and which can be handled by the personnel present, does not fall under this plan. An emergency may include a medical emergency, fire; severe weather, explosion, uncontrolled release of natural gas or enemy action. II. Emergency Alerting and Response Procedure Once an employee recognizes the occurrence of an emergency, he/she will notify their immediate supervisor who will determine if the emergency is of such a magnitude that outside help will bE;J needed~ This judgment may be influenced by the nature of the emergency and the presence of hydrocarbon vapors. If help is needed, the immediate supervisor will take the following steps: Notify the appropriate lines of authority and emergency response agencies as follows: A. Notify DeBeque Fire Protection District. B. Call law enforcement officers to help control traffic and the public. If roadblocks are required and established during an emergency, advise the control points what outside help may be expected so that they can be admitted to the project area. C. Consider the necessity of evacuating any residents in the area. At the current time there are no residents within the project area. There are however ranching interests in the area that may need notification. D. Establish contact with Civil Defense, Electric Companies, Gas Companies or other service organizations as needed. E. Contact Doctors, Hospitals, HAZMAT and ambulances as necessary. F. Contact any outside help necessary, such as construction contractors, tank trucks and other producers in the area which may be affected. G. Maintain communications and information flow with OXY-Rockies and all potentially affected personnel. Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page6 Ill. Personnel Roles and Lines of Authority In the event of an emergency involving injury to OXY employees and/or contract personnel, ~1<qmediate care shall be provided to the injured to abate any life-threatening injuries (e.g.; cardiac :-est, breathing stopped, and profuse bleeding). Notification to OXY-Rockies management of any Health, Environment and Safety (HES) incident shall be made as soon as possible after the incident so that additional steps can be taken as needed. Emergency response agencies as listed on the cover page of this plan shall be notified as needed. In the case of a serious emergency, the supervisor, or the designee shall notify the OXY-Rockies Operations Manager and HES Personnel. Notification shall then be made to the General Manager and the Occidental Oil and Gas Corp. (OOGC) HES Department, as soon as possible, in accordance with OOGC Procedure 60.400.110 "Incident Reporting and Investigation". It is essential that all personnel are familiar with the location, operation and properly trained on fire extinguishers. Personnel should be thoroughly familiar with all valves necessary to isolate the source of any natural gas leak, pipeline rupture, processing facility failure or other production related emergency. ·The location of all utility control points should be known by plant and field personnel, i.e., electric switch boxes, water and gas control valves. IV. Site Security and Control The supervisor or designe.e shall be responsible for assigning company employees or contracted ""lcurity forces to provide traffic control and establish a secure perimeter prior to being relieved by al emergency response personnel. V. Evacuation Routes and Procedures Depending on the emergency, personnel shall evacuate to a location upwind, if possible. Personnel will meet at the designated safe area and a head count will be taken by the supervisor or the designee to ensure that everyone is accounted for. Evacuation routes, procedures and pre-selected muster points should be identified and confirmed at each pre-job and regularly scheduled safety meeting. VI. Media Guide All inquiries/requests for information from the media and the public should be referred to the OXY- Rockies Operations Manager or Asset Manager.

Report any incident to the OXY-Rockies Management Team IMMEDIATELY. ** In some instances it may be more practical and efficient to notify the supervisor first and have them call EMS. See attached Emergency Contact List and the OXY-Rockies Contact List. Key Tips On How To Recognize lnjury(ies) and Provide Initial Care: • Activate Emergency Medical Services' Assistance BEFORE it is too late -Call for help early. If it looks bad, feels bad, smells bad; it is probably bad. • ALWAYS activate the local (DeBeque) ground emergency service, even if you have notified CareFlight. Many times, the helicopter cannot reach an area because of bad weather conditions or a higher priority call out. Ground ambulance will verify landing zones and can provide guidance into an area for the helicopter. • DO NOT CAUSE MORE HARM AND DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER VICTIM BY RUSHING INTO A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT. • Only provide care to the level of your training. • DO NOT move a victim unless there is imminent danger that could cause more harm. • If available, communicate with CareFlight through the Emergency Services' radio channel for all landings'. The frequency is on all OXY -ROCKIES radios.

According to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, "The state saw the worst wildfire season in its history in 2002 with 3,072 wildfires burning over 600,000 acres -the most acreage in the nation following Alaska and Oregon. Three hundred-eighty houses and 624 outbuildings were lost. Insurance claims reached $79.3 million and firefighting and emergency rehabilitation efforts exceeded $200 million." Having the available resources and knowing how to access them is crucial for someone who is involved in a fire incident and is injured or in critical condition. The information provided will help to increase an understanding of OXY's policy and help in providing assistance to the general public and to OXY should unexpected conditions arise which create a concern for public safety. All OXY employees, contractors, sub-contractors, or anyone on OXY-owned property should have the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) Manual available on hand for a resource in case of an emergency situation. The Fire Prevention Plan is in addition in the ERP Manual and specifically lays out a plan of action for workers to follow when an unexpected fire does happen. This section cannot cover all potentral situations that may require emergency procedures. Check with the local OXY representative for site specific procedures in effect for a particular work location. . . EMERGENCY Types of Fires There are five general types of fires that have the possibility to occur on OXY operations. They are lightning, smoking, flaring, hot work, and vehicle fires all which can result in a serious wildland fire. Better understanding these types of hazards will only help you realize how to respond more efficiently if a wildfire occurs. Lightning Lightning is one of the most beautiful displays in nature. It is also one of the most deadly natural phenomena known to man. With bolts that are hotter than the sun, lightning can do some serious Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page 27 damage. One of the most common natural fires is caused by lightning. According to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, "about half of all the wildfires in Colorado are lightning caused fires". Storms can move in very quickly on top of the mountain and lightning can become a severe hazard. 'n the United States alone, lightning sets 10,000 forest fires and causes $100 million in property damage every year. Always stay inside during a lightning storm; never go outside. If you are caught outside during a lightning storm avoid trees, fences, poles, or anything metal. Smoking The second type of fire is smoking from lit cigarettes. Cigarette fires cause an estimated $100,000 in the U.S. per year. The best way to prevent a fire from smoking is to smoke only in designated smoking areas or in your vehicle. Never throw a cigarette butt outside. This is one of the most common ways fires are started. · Pay attention to posted ·"NO SMOKING" signs and never smoke :iar flammable liquids or gases. Flaring Another potential fire hazard is flaring on the drilling locations. Flaring or venting is a controlled .burning process of natural gas that cannot be processed for sale or use because of technical reasons. OXY has long used flaring and venting to safely dispose of gases that occur in the production and processing of natural gas. The flare is always extended over the pit at a location, greatly reducing the chance for sparks to ignite a fire. In emergency situations, flaring provides a safe way to stabilize equipment. Flaring is always performed at well-site locations where there is no vegetation growth, decreasing the fire danger even more. Hot Work fourth fire danger is hot work which includes welding, grinding, and cutting. Each one of these is ,xtremely dangerous because of the high fire danger they present. Dry, hot temperatures provide the perfect environment for sparks to ignite and start a wildland fire. Every contractor who intends Revised: 06/2512008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page 28 ( to perform one of these operations for OXY must have a Hot Work Permit before they start their job. Each contractor must have an established person that is the "fire watch" while the hot work is being performed. This person stands ready with an approved fire extinguisher to put out any fires tha/ may start. The fire watch is required to remain at the hot work area for a period of 30 minutes afte. ( the job is complete. This lessens the chance of a fire occurring. Vehicle Hazards Another fire concern is vehicles that are equipped with catalytic converters. Catalysts reduce emissions by accelerating the combustion of pollutants leaving the engine. In doing this job, they get hot. The outside metal temperatures of some types of converters may approach 800 to 1000 F under conditions of extremely high engine loading. In other words, catalytic converters on vehicles get extremely hot after a long drive up the mountain. So parking should be only in a designated parking area at the location. Never park a catalyst-equipped vehicle, or any vehicle, on a pile of dry grass/brush or other dry vegetation. Always park where you can easily access the nearest exit by driving forward. Survey the scene so you know your exits for means of a quick escape. When a Fire Breaks Out: If a potential yvildfire breaks out on the mesa, the most important thing is accountability. That is one of the main reasons why OXY contracts the security guards. They have a daily log of every individual that accesses OXY property. First of all notify someone of the fire, whether it be your supe~visor, coworker, etc. Second, call the DeBeque F.ire Department immediately at {970) 242- 1234; the sooner the fire department is dispatched, the quicker the response time will be. Ther: analyze the situation and determine what the potential hazards are. Ask yourself these questions: Are there any hazardous or toxic chemicals at risk? Is the fire life threatening? Is there damage to public property? If possible and not a risk to life, isolate the fuel sources. Next, determine if the fire can be extinguished, if so, alert someone else of your plans, locate the nearest fire extinguisher and proceed to put the fire out. Every employee of OXY should be trained on how to properly extinguish a fire. Note: OXY recommends fighting a fire ONLY in the incipient stage. What is the incipient stage? A fire in its beginning stage. Incipient stage fires can be controlled with portable fire extinguishers. There are (4) steps to extinguish a fire called the PASS system: Pull -Pull the safety pin Aim -Remove the hose and aim the nozzle toward the fire Squeeze -Holding the handle, squeeze the trigger Sweep -Extinguish the fire in a sweeping motion, from left to right Revised : 06125/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page29 When to Leave handle/ trigger nspection lag If the fire cannot be put out by the fire extinguisher in the incipient stage, it is time to evacuate the area immediately. Communication is key, inform everyone to evacuate the location and make sure everyone is accounted for.. There should b.e designated meeting o( ml)ster points on location, where the entire crew/employees would meet in the event of an emergency. During the brief meeting, decide which route is the safest to use and evacuate as soon as possible. You should become familiar with the alternative evacuation routes on the mesa/valley. . 1ere are (4) alternative routes of escape from OXY operations. The first three possible exits are Aivable escape routes and the latter is a cow trail. The primary escape route is off the OXY road leading to Conn Creek Road. The second is off Logan Wash Road if possible. The third alternative is to drive north on Trail Ridge Road, which is the road that lays directly north of the mesa well locations. If you stay on Trail Ridge Road it will eventually take you north to Rio Blanco County on County Road 5 and then to Colorado Highway 13. The other possible route would be to hike down the cow path that is connected to OXY's valley operations. This allows (4) different evacuation routes where if one exit is blocked there is always an alternative. Please note the (3) secondary routes are ONLY for emergency access and are intended for the safe escape of OXY contractors/sub-contractors. Where To Go Once you have evacuated the area, the primary muster point for each individual would be the DeBeque baseball field, which is north of DeBeque on the west side of County Road 45. Everyone should meet there and be accounted for by the supervisor in charge. If your path of escape is Trail Ridge Road, continue until you reach Piceance Creek, Rio Blanca county roads. Travel east on Rio Blanco County Road 5 to .Colorado Highway 13 and then south on Highway 13 to Rifle, CO and Interstate 70. Once you are in the safe zone contact your supervisor immediately for accountability. nrive careful and when emergency vehicles are met on the road, pull over and always give them the it away. Report all fires, regardless of the size to an OXY representative as soon as bssible. Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page 30 ( ( If a situation occurs where all exits are blocked, find a location with a bare, dirt pad and wait out the fire. Park your vehicle the farthest point away from all production units and methanol/condensate tanks and turn the engine off. Stay in your vehicle with the windows rolled up and the ai conditioner/heater off, with all vents closed. This will keep smoke from entering the vehicle. Who/What is in Danger? There are several major operations that are in the danger zone if a fire breaks out. Drilling rigs, multiple production sites, various contractors on location, hunter/rancher cabins, and particularly temporary housing units are a major concern for OXY. Also, other oil/gas companies in the area travel daily on Logan Wash Road and could also be affected. Temporary Housing Units One of the most susceptible places for a wildland fire to catch employees off-guard is the temporary housing units. Remote locations provide an opportunity for a fire to easily arrive and trap employees with no access/egress to escape. To ensure the safety and health of occupants in the temporary housing units, inspections will have to be conducted on a monthly basis. The temporary housing units are being assessed per NFPA Life Safety Code, OSHA regulations, and 'Colorado state and county regulations to ensure the _health and safety of each employee. Fire Dangers/Hazards The following is a list of things that should be considered for fire prevention: • Temporary housing units must be a minimum of 75 feet from the well-head and condensate/methanol tanks. • Smoking is allowed only in designated smoking areas. Smoking is NOT ALLOWED inside any temporary housing units owned or leased by OXY on OXY property. "No Smoking" signs shall be posted at fire hazard areas. Matches and all smoking equipment may not be carried into "No Smoking" areas. Butt disposal containers must be placed in the designated smoking areas. • Absolutely no drugs, alcohol, or firearms. Methamphetamine laboratories are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and will not be tolerated on OXY property. • All exits must be maintained free and clear of any obstructions. Exits must have free clearance of 1 O feet. EXIT signs must be posted at each exit in the facility. Center to center between trailers must be maintained at a minimum of 20 feet. Exit stairs must be sturdy and level. • Areas around all temporary housing units shall be kept free of clutter and shall be monitore( for trash and debris on a daily basis. Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page 31 • All combustible waste materials must be disposed of daily. Bear-proof trash containers must be provided on the location. • No gas heaters are allowed on location. Only electric heaters or unit heaters are acceptable means of heating. • Absolutely no open-flame fires or charcoal grilling is allowed. Only gas cooking grills are allowable per written OXY approval, but must be 50 feet away from the well-head. • Vegetation must be cleared within a 10 foot distance around the facility. • Fully charged and mounted fire extinguishers shall be available and accessible to all residents. They must be monthly and .annually inspected and be located 75 feet (maximum) from any point in the facility. Access should be unobstructed and personnel trained to use the extinguisher. Extinguishers must be clearly marked. • Only non-flammable cleaning materials are allowed • Flammable liquids shall not be stored within 50 feet of the well-head. • All small gas/diesel containers must be stored at least 50 feet away from the temporary facility, placed within secondar)i containment, and the container must be ·an ·osHAINFPA approved safety can. • All electrical wiring and appliances shall be UL rated and shall meet all applicable federal, state and local building codes, OSHA standards and NFPA regulations. All units must be grounded. • Smoke alarms and leak detectors are required by NFPA Life Safety Code and will be inspected on a monthly basis. • Each site shall have a pre-determined muster point and all occupants of the temporary housing site shall be briefed on emergency action plans. • All temporary housing units located on OXY property will be monthly inspected and/or searched. How To Prepare for a Fire? Evacuation DrillsfTraining Every drilling rig crew, temporary housing occupants, and contractor that is staying on the mesa for a set time frame is required to have routine evacuation drills and training. Supervisors should provide information concerning the (4) evacuation routes, existing fire hazards, and important safety concerns on a weekly basis. Fire drills need to be conducted to each hitch on a monthly basis. 1ployees need to know the Fire Prevention Plan, so when the unexpected does happen, they will ) ready. ' Revised : 06/25/2008 OXY-Rockies ERP Page32 The OXY Management Team will distribute an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) Manual containing the Fire Prevention Plan to each critical contractor/employee before employment, with the expectation that the critical contractors/employees will brief individuals and visitors they oversee. The fire hazards will be discussed and any questions or concerns should be brought to attentio ( · immediately. It is important to know the potential hazards that exist during a job and the resource~ that your safety depends on. ( Fire Prevention Checklist To ensure that you know this fire plan, ask yourself these questions: ,/ What fire hazards exist around me? ,/ What are the ( 4) evacuation routes that are available? ,/ What is the best exit for a means of escape? ,/ Who do I call in case of a fire? ,/ Where do I access emergency contact information? ,/ Is the fire life threatening? ,/ Where is the closest fire extinguisher? ,/ Where is the muster points in case of an emergency? ,/ What is the weather like, windy, thunderstorms, etc.?

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxlcity Data: Fate and Transport: Biodegradation: Bloconcentratlon: Aquatic Toxicity: Additional Ecological Information: Gas-phase methane will be very slowly degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 6 years.The biodegradation half life of methane was estimated to range from 70 days to Infinity based on gas exchange biodegradation experiments conducted in model estuarine ecosystems. An estimated BCF of 1 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms_ is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since methane lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. If released to soil, methane is expected to volatilize from soil (both moist and dry) based upon its vapor pressure and an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.66 atm- cu m/mole. 13.

HANDLING AND STORAGE General:· Handling Procedures: Storage Conditions: Incompatible Substances: Additional Information: Electrical installations and equipment in hazardous locations should be installed according to the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). Empty containers retain residue and may be hazardous. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re- use. Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition. Bond and ground all equipment when transferring from one vessel to another. Can accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. The use of explosion-proof equipment may be required by local fire codes. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. May be subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from incompatible materials. Oxidizing materials. Although Radon-222 levels which may be in the product represented by this MSDS do not present any direct Radon exposure hazard, customers should be aware of the potential for Radon daughter·buildup within their processing systems. Radon.-222 is a naturally occurring radioactive gas which can be a contaminant in natural gas. During processing, Radon tends to concentrate in liquefied petroleum gas streams and in product streams having a similar boiling point range. Industry experienC'l has shown that this product may conlain small amounts of Radon-222 and tts radioactive "daughters." The actual concentration of Radon-222 and radioactive daughters in the delivered product is dependent on the geographical souce of the natural gas and storage time prior to delivery. Process equipment, such as lines, filters, pumps and reaction units, may accumulate radioactive daughters and emit gamma radiation during operation. A potential external radiation hazard exists at or near any pipe, valve, or vessel containing a Radon-enriched stream, or containing internal deposits of radioactive material due to the transmission of gamma radiation through its wall. Field studies reported in the literature and conducted by company personnel at selected sites have not shown any conditions that subject workers to cumulative exposures in excess of general population limits. Equipment emitting gamma radiation should be presumed to be internally contaminated with alpha-emitting decay products which may be a hazard if inhaled or ingested. Before maintenance operations that require the opening of contaminated process equipment begin, the flow of gas should be stopped for four hours to allow the gamma radiation to drop to background levels. Protective equipment such as coveralls, gloves and respirators (NIOSH approved for particulates and radionuclides, or suplied-air) should be worn by personnel entering a vessel or working on contaminated process equipment to prevent skin contamination, ingestion, or inhalation of any residues containing alpha radiation. Airborne contamination may be minimized by handling scale and/or contaminated materials in a wet state. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Personal Protective Equipment: Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits (Section 2). Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion proof equipment and lighting in classified/controlled areas. Where possible, enclose operations. Use local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. Eye Protection: Where splashing or spraying is possible, use chemical protective goggles. Skin and Body Protection: Flame retardant protective clothing. Product Name: NGLMIX Page: 4of 8 Hand Protection: Nitrile rubber gloves. Insulated gloves sutiable for low temperatures. Protective Material Types: Nitrile. Tychem(R) BR/LV. Tychem(R) TK. Viton(R). Viton(R)/Butyl rubber. Respiratory Protection: When exposure limits may be exceeded, wear respiratory equipment as per U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134. Organic vapor cartridges may be appropriate under certain conditions. A full facepiece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to SOX the acceptable exposure level. Positive pressure supplied air must be used when there is a potential for uncontrolled release. When the level may be above the IDLH, use an SCBA or positive pressure supplied air with an auxilliary self-contained escape pack.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying wtth existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://soils.usda.gov/sqi/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app? agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://soils.usda.gov/contact/ state_offices/). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the 5 Custom Soil Resource Report individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil- landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 6 ( Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil rriap units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit. 7 39" 28' 16'' 39• 28' 15" ..---. ., ... ~ ., ~ 736908 ~ "' "' ~ ~ "' .... .., ... 736908 ' ~ ~ ., N ~ A 7369 12 736916 736920 I l ' ' j j ~ 736912 736916 736920 736924 Custom Soil Resource Report Soil Map 736928 736932 ~ 736924 736928 736932 Map Scale: 1 :204 II printed on A size (8.5" x 11 ") sheet ·:.:::. .. c=~====!""" ............ ~:;:=============~:Meoors • 15 0 2.5 5 10 ,.. ...... -========-................ -===============::::::::1Feet 0 10 20 40 00 ,,,..-... 736936 736940 736944 736948 39°28' 16" I lli ~ "' J. ~ I ., ., . ., 'Iii ~ ~ 39"28' 15" 736936 736948 ..--.... r--~ Custom Soil Resource Report MAP LEGEND Area of Interest (AOI) ro Very Stony Spot D Area of Interest (AOI) ,.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits forthe properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. 10 100.0% 100.0% Custom Soil Resource Report An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, O to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha- Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, O to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 11 Custom Soil Resource Report Douglas-Plateau Area, Colorado, Parts of Garfield and Mesa Counties 44-Happle very channery sandy loam, 3 to 12 percent slopes Map Unit Setting Elevation: 5,200 to 6,000 feet Mean annual precipitation: 12 to 15 inches Mean annual air temperature: 46 to 52 degrees F Frost-free period: 100 to 150 days Map Unit Composition Happle and similar soils: 80 percent Description of Happle Setting Landform: Alluvial fans Down-slope shape: Convex Across-slope shape: Linear Parent material: Green river formation alluvium derived from shale Properties and qualities Slope: 3 to 12 percent Depth to restrictive feature: More than 80 inches Drainage class: Well drained Capacity of the most limiting fayer to transmit water (Ksat): Moderately high to high (0.57 to 2.00 in/hr) Depth to water table: More than 80 inches Frequency of flooding: None Frequency of ponding: None Calcium carbonate, maximum content: 10 percent Maximum salinity: Nonsaline (0.0 to 2.0 mmhos/cm) Available water capacity: Low (about 3.4 inches) Interpretive groups Land capability (nonirrigated): 4e Ecological site: Rolling Loam (R034XY298CO) Typical profile 0 to 7 inches: Very channery sandy loam 7 to 14 inches: Very channery sandy loam 14 to 32 inches: Very channery sandy clay loam 32 to 60 inches: Extremely channery sandy loam 12 References American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). 2004.

Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation 760 Horizon Drive #101 Grand Junction, CO 81506 Subject: Field Office -Preconstruction Habitat Assessment Garfield County, Colorado WALSH Project No. 7830-190 Dear Mr. Padilla: On August 19, 2008 WALSH personnel conducted a habitat survey in support of OXY USA WTP LP's (OXY) Field Office permitting efforts. The survey was conducted within a 0.25 mile buffer of the proposed expansion footprint. The site is located approximately 9.5 miles north-northwest of the town of De Beque, Colorado on privately owned lands in the SESW of Section 5, Township 7 South Range 97 West. See the attached figure for an illustration of the survey area and general location of the proposed field office. During the survey, habitat suitability was evaluated for federally listed and locally significant plant and animal species. This letter presents the results of the field survey and supporting literature searches. Site Description The proposed site for OXY's Field Office is on the valley floor, east of OXY's private Conn Creek Road, and approximately 800 feet north-northeast of OXY's guard station at the end of County Road 213. The proposed footprint is located within a fragmented sagebrush community. Pastureland borders the riparian corridor along Conn Creek where mature narrowleaf cottonwood and Gambel's oak are common. The surrounding slopes support an association of mountain shrub and sagebrush communities on the wetter north and east facing slopes, with sagebrush and desert scrub on the drier south and west facing slopes. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey for Garfield County indicates that soil at the site consists of Happle very channery sandy loam (3 to 13 percent slopes). This soil type is associated with alluvial fans and is comprised of Green river formation alluvium derived from shale parent material. This well-drained soil's ability to transmit water is considered moderately high to high and is designated as a nonsaline soil. Evidence of human activity is readily apparent throughout the area. The site is surrounded on all sides by active oil and gas facilities and their infrastructure. Those facilities include: the current field office location, ~~\itlsl1 immediately to the north and west; a well pad immediately to the ~ axv """' east; a large staging area and produced water storage area to the south; and several pipeline corridors and Conn Creek Road to the west. Conn Creek Road is one of two access points for the uplands to the north and east. Vehicle traffic is present 24 hours a day with more traffic occurring during daylight hours and heaviest during shift changes. Species of Concern In preparing for the field survey, WALSH personnel examined habitat requirements for species identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service's (USFWS 2008) list of federally listed species known to occur in Garfield County. Additional consideration was given to habitat suitable for game species protected by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW), and migratory birds, including raptors, protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. A preliminary inspection of the area for Garfield County listed noxious weed species (GarCo, 2007) was also conducted. Methods In evaluating suitable habitat for species of interest, WALSH personnel regularly reference the following: NatureServe Explorer (NatureServe 2008), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA 2008), Colorado Natural Heritage Program (Spackman et al. 1997), and Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW 2008a) (CDOW 2008b). During the field visit, WALSH personnel conducted a visual inspection of the survey area on foot and from a four-wheel drive vehicle. Observations were documented in field notebooks and supplemented with GPS units and digital cameras. Please see the attached figure and photo log for illustrations of field activities. Results During the field survey no suitable habitat was encountered for any of the federally listed plant species known to occur in Garfield County. There is no suitable raptor nesting habitat within the field office's proposed footprint. However, the cliff faces on the slopes above, and the mature trees found along the riparian corridor to the west provide potential habitat for nesting raptors. While the DOW has designated much of the upper portion of the valley as a winter concentration area for elk, it does not recognize any critical game habitat in this portion of the valley. There were no noxious weed infestations encountered during the field survey. However, Russian thistle, an undesirable invasive species, comprises greater than 95% of vegetation on previously disturbed surfaces in ~ DXY ~ the area. In addition to this habitat assessment, noxious weed surveys were conducted in the area in 2006 and 2008 and results and management recommendations are presented in Appendix A. Conclusions Based on the results of the field survey and literature search, WALSH does not anticipate adverse effects to any of the federally listed or locally significant plant or animal species. Some migratory bird species may utilize the sagebrush habitat within the proposed disturbance footprint for nesting. In order to minimize the likelihood of unintended disturbance and/or the taking of nesting migratory birds or their young, WALSH recommends that shrub and tree clearing activities be performed outside of the May 1 to August 1 nesting period. The dominance of Russian thistle, and the overall condition of the reclaimed pipeline ROW and wellpad fill slope to the east of the proposed location, indicate that OXY's current reclamation protocol should be revised. Hydromulch provides good slope stabilization, however, it also provides a physical obstruction to seedling germination for preferred plant species. In the future, to improve germination and reclamation success, WALSH recommends discontinuing the use of hydromulch except in uneven and sloped terrain, and moving instead to a combination of drill seeding on flat to gently sloping terrain, and broadcast seeding and netting on slopes where the use of drill seeding equipment may be unsafe. To remediate the current problems associated with this area, WALSH recommends reseeding these reclaimed areas this fall to promote regrowth of preferred species next spring. In order to achieve long term reclamation success, seed mixes should be certified weed free and consist of an appropriate combination of native species. Regular monitoring for, and treatment of, noxious weeds is also critical to successful reclamation.

Sped.:SIS Jn Illa Ett.t OMIOnl Appendix A: OXY USA WTP LP NOXIOUS WEED REPORT The Valley UPDATED: July 2008 ~ DXY ~ Summary: Field surveys for noxious weed infestations were conducted in September of 2006 by Pellard and Girard and in July of 2008 by Walsh scientists . Noxious weed infestations were found in the Valley, the Mesa, and Logan Wash areas. However, noxious weed infestations were relatively low in proportion to the amount of disturbance caused by the oil and gas development in the area. Site Description: OXY's property has been divided into three different noxious weed management areas, hereinafter refen-ed to as the Valley, the Mesa, and Logan Wash. These areas were designated based on either ecology or geography. Since the proposed site for OXY's field office is located in the Valley, only the Valley will be mentioned in this report. The Valley consists of facilities (well pads, compressor stations, etc) and linear features (roads and pipelines) found along Conn Creek and its tributaries at an elevation below 7,500 feet. These relatively dry valleys have long growing seasons, high average temperatures, and low annual precipitation rates. The vegetative communities in this area are dominated by the following associations: sagebrush, pinyon-juniper, desert scrub and, on moist northern aspects and along Conn Creek, mountain shrub and gambel oak. The proposed sites for OXY's Compressor Station, Field Office and Centralized E and P sites are all located in the Valley at approximately 6,000 feet. Methods: Visual inspections of all OXY USA WTP LP (OXY) well locations and access roads were conducted in 2006 by Paller and Girard and in 2008 by Walsh. The main goal of the inventories is to indentify Garfield County designated noxious weeds on or near OXY facilities. The results of the inventories are used to manage the weeds so as to bring OXY into compliance with State and local weed management ordinances . Surveys will continue to asses s the condition of previously-treated weed infestations and indcntify new infestations. These follow up surveys will provide valuable information on the effectiveness of treatment methods and revegetation effo1ts. Results and Discussion: The following results come from the September 2006 and July 2008 surveys . Overall results are below with detailed survey data found in Tables 1 and 2. Infestations were relatively low in the Valley throughout 2006 and 2008. In 2006, Houndstonge was found alongside Musk Thistle in scattered patches beside the entrance road and east side of the Cascade Creek facility (see Table 1). Heav y infestations of I-loundstonge and Musk Thistle were al s o found at the Con Creek Fac ility. Then in 2008, Canada Thistle and Houndstonge were found on 6 points (see Table 2) with low to moderate (5-25%) cover in both the bud and ( ( ~~\hlsl1 flowering stage. 5 of the 6 infestations were found on the roadside along Conn Creek and the sixth infestation was found a few hundred feet to the east upslope on a west-facing slope (see Table 2). The heaviest infestation was at point 070808-004 and 005. These points contained two bunches of Canada thistle, approximately ten by fifteen feet in size, next to the road on a hill west of pad 620-33, and they also contained Houndstonge on the same hillside. Noxious weeds were absent on the proposed OXY's Compressor Station, Field Office and Centralized E and P sites. However, during a habitat assessment of the proposed Compressor Station on September of 2008, Musk Thistle and Houndstonge were noted along the access road I pipeline corridor running between the water facility to the north and the compressor station to the south. Documented infestations appeared to be restricted to the reclaimed pipeline corridor on the west side of the access road. These results indicate that noxious weed infestations in the Valley increased from six infestations in 2006, to eight infestations in 2008. ..:\..~\Te:tlsl1 Table 1. 2006 Noxious Weed Inventory (Paller and Girard) IAREA ·--··:ALOCATJlON -.1UNIQUE:ID,.:IDATE.~:-:]COflfMON NAME~dWNERSHIP · ~i~~::.:: Jr~-t,::~r Date-and/.·'.' ·;·.'._ .. :--/~:· ··.'

Management techniques include cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical strategies. Cultural controls involve seeding with native plants and reducing grazing intervals to promote plant growth. Mechanical control is the removal of the infestation manually or with equipment. Biological control involves using insects that feed only on certain noxious weed species. Combined approaches have often proved most effective. The optimum method or methods for weed management will vary depending on a number of site specific variables. Factors to be considered include soil type and stability, grade, associated vegetation, existing and proposed land use, proximity to water, availability of irrigation water, weed type and stage of growth, and severity of infestation. The management method selected should be the most effective at mitigating and eliminating noxious weeds, but be practical and financially reasonable. When considering weed management on a property, initial areas to be treated are always those which are likely to transport weed seeds. These areas include ditches, streams, roadsides, driveways, trails, livestock concentrated areas, and equipment storage sites. The following recommendations are intended to be a reference for weed management in Garfield County. The information is not intended to be a complete guide to weed management. Specific chemical recommendations are available from the Garfield County Vegetation Management Department and/or licensed applicators and are not listed in this Plan (Garfield County, 2002). Please see Appendix D for recommended treatment methods for each species. OXY's area of operations are within the BLM Grand Junction Field Office (GJFO) jurisdiction The GJFO noxious weed management plan is currently under revision, therefore the Glenwood Springs Field Office (GSFO) plan will be followed as it is likely to be similar. The following treatment methods are requirements from the GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan. The Grand Junction BLM weed management specialist, Sparky Taber, should be contacted for timing and treatment of each weed species (BLM 2007). According to the GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan, the operator shall implement the best available weed control technique(s) at the appropriate times based on the life history of the weed species. • A Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) shall be approved by the BLM prior to use of herbicides on BLM lands (Appendix E). • Only adjuvants (chemicals designed to enhance the effects of other chemicals) and herbicides approved by the BLM shall be applied to BLM lands. • A Pesticide Application record shall be filled out each time pesticides are applied to BLM lands. The operator shall maintain these records for a minimum of three years. • Infestations of all List A species and designated List B species shall be immediately reported to the appropriate County Weed Manager. • Herbicide use shall follow application rates, restrictions and warnings listed on the label. .:t...~\~tlsl i • In situations where noxious weeds have escaped from the project area into adjacent sites, the infested areas shall be treated to prevent further expansion into uninfested areas and reinfestation of the treated area. Landowner permission must be obtained prior to such treatment. • The operator shall use pesticide applicators licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (BLM 2007). Based on BLM GSFO Noxious Weed Management Plan requirements, Walsh has identified the following preventative measures. • Inventory proposed development areas prior to ground-disturbing activities. If noxious weeds are encountered they shall be treated or removed to prevent further infestations. If the treatment timing is not species appropriate for the weed species, ground activities can proceed. • A Pesticide Use Proposal (PUP) shall be prepared by OXY and approved by the BLM prior to use of herbicides on BLM lands. • Certified weed-free grass mixture is to be planted on disturbed land. • Topsoil stockpiles are to be revegetated to promote a healthy microbial environment in the soil. As stated by the BLM GSFO, native or non-native, non-persistent sterile grasses may be used to seed stockpiles. • Cettified weed-free mulch must be used in reclamation. It is recommended that vehicles that have traversed areas with noxious weed infestations be power washed to remove mud and debris from tires and the vehicle's undercarriage as soon as possible after exposure to weeds. Wash water should be contained in an area that cannot harbor noxious weeds (e.g. commercial car wash). This action will remove seeds and is a preventative measure in stopping the spread of noxious weeds. Management Stategies: Based on the treatment methods from the previous section, Walsh proposes the following management strategies: Prevention: Preventing the spread of existing noxious weeds is essential in the management process. Noxious weeds have an affinity to areas of disturbance such as roads, pipelines, and right-of-ways (ROWs) and are easily spread to these locations. Seeds and transplants can adhere to clothing, mud on tires, hay, or transplanted noxious ornamental plants. Minimizing or eliminating these factors can greatly reduce the occurrence of noxious weeds. Areas with known noxious weed infestations should be avoided by vehicles and personnel until the weeds have been eradicated. Revegetation and Rehabilitation: Revegetating an area that has been cleared of noxious weeds or otherwise disturbed can be instrumental in preventing the reestablishment of noxious weeds, guarding against erosion, providing cover for wildlife forage, and in reducing visual impact. Revegetation is site specific and native plants should be used whenever feasible. However, if reclamation is the desired effect, non- aggressive grasses and forbs can be used. .::t..~\ hlsl i The following is an OXY standard seed mix derived from the previous noxious weed plan provided by Pal!er and Girard Inc. Additional seed mix recommendations from the BLM can be found in Appendix H. OXY Standard Seed Mix Species Russian Wild Ryegrass VNS Mountain Brome, Bromar Orchardgrass, Paiute Intermediate Wheatgrass, Oahe Regreen404 Crested Wheatgrass, Hycrest Pubescent Wheatgrass, Luna % live seed 16.86 16.86 16.36 15.98 14.70 8.24 8.09 Note: The recommended seed mixtures should be applied with a broadcast seeder followed by harrowing with a sharp-toothed harrow to achieve a cover depth of 1/4 to 2 inches. If mulch is used it should be certified weed-free straw or hay or packaged hydromulch. Revegetation projects should be evaluated one year after completion. If revegetation is not proceeding as expected, the cause( s) should be determined and appropriate measures taken to try and increase success rates (P&G 2007). Garfield County has developed the following items to use as tools in the planning process. A Soil Plan including the following: • Provisions for salvaging on-site topsoil • A timetable for eliminating topsoil and/or aggregate piles • A plan that provides for soil cover if any disturbances or stockpiles will sit exposed for a period of 90 days or more A Revegetation Plan including the following: • Plant material list (scientific and common names required). • Planting schedule (timing, methods, and provisions for watering, if applicable). • A map of the impacted area, including any area which might be disturbed by machinery used during revegation. • A revegetation bond A Revegetation Security may be required if, in the determination of the Board of County Commissioners, the proposed project has: • A potential to facilitate the spread of noxious weeds • A potential to impact watershed areas • A potential to negatively impact public viewing corridors • Steep slopes (15% or greater) or unstable areas • The possibility of disturbing large areas (half acre or greater) (Garfield County 2002) """"' axv ............. As stated by the Garfield Management Plan, the revegetation security will be determined by the Board of County Commissioners. Securities will be site-specific and based on the amount of disturbance. The security shall be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the following Reclamation Standards. The Board of County Commissioners will designate a member of their staff to evaluate the reclamation prior to the release of the security (Garfield County 2002). Conclusions: The noxious weed problems encountered during the 2006 and 2008 inventories were relatively small in relation to the size of the production area. However, few populations were noted in the same areas as were found in the 2008 surveys, indicating that the treatment methods implemented by OXY have reduced the number of existing populations.
