The pipeline is 3600 feet in length and is currently proposed as 1000 feet of buried pipe on level topography and 2600 feet of aboveground pipe on a hillside section. Adjustments to buried and aboveground footages may occur during installation. The landowner has specifically requested an aboveground installation on the hillside portion to minimize visual construction and vegetation impacts to the property. The pipeline is associated with development of natural gas resources by Williams Production RMT. Alignment and profile drawings are attached. Pipeline construction will consist of both typical trench and bury installation methods for buried sections; and ground friction and thrust block restraint methods for aboveground sections. At County Road 333, the pipeline will be bored under the roadway. Valve boxes, air vacuum releases, line markers and cathodic test lead risers may be installed at regular intervals along the pipeline route. The aboveground portion of the pipeline shall be installed and secured with concrete thrust -block restraint methods. Williams Production RMT Company has 25 years of extensive experience and success utilizing this technique with the installation and construction of aboveground pipelines on hillside slopes. This history includes an impeccable record of reliability and safety by virtue that every installation has been safely constructed, without failure, and remains operational. A list of Williams' aboveground pipeline projects along with select photographs are attached. The general practice has been to construct aboveground pipeline systems utilized structural steel pipe anchored with concrete thrust blocks at the top and bottoms of the slopes. Additional thrust blocks may added along alignments. This methodology is very non -evasive and eliminates wide hillside scares left from excavation activities; access roads; and long term view shed issues associated with vegetation removal and re-establishment. Paramount, however, is safety. This technique eliminates the placement of operators, equipment and materials on precarious and dangerous steep grades. Potential dust, engine emissions, accidental material and rock fall hazards, fuel spills, wildlife impacts are also reduced. Project Survey and Preconstruction Activities Prior to the construction of the project, mimerous preconstruction activities will be completed. These activities includ :s = ecessarily limited to, land surveying, selection of final pipeline alignment : facility locations, ordination with land owners and other affected interests, procurement o ma F •u ti, 1 selection of construction contractors. A preconstruction meeting will be held with the Garfield County Road and Bridge department to discuss and finalize the VIII I 'Jryinvr law, 54 HI VI VD1T111111 Reception#: 785543 05/03/2010 04.39:00 PM Jean Alberico 7 of 20 Rec Fee $0.00 Doc Fee :0.00 GARFIELD COUNTY CO Williams Production RMT Orion Pipeline Project - Construction Management Plan construction schedule, road safety, traffic control and hours of work operations. Existing utility locations will be identified and flagged to avoid damage and disturbance. The limits for all construction staging areas and the location of access road entry points will be identified. Project Drawing, Engineering Specifications and Standards Project drawings will include the following. • Pipeline alignment sheets (5 total attached) Although the pipeline will transport water, the controlling standards for the pipe pressure design and construction of the work will be the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline Safety Regulations 49 CFR 192 Transportation of Natural Gas and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards, latest edition. Where 49 CFR 192 does not address particular design, construction or operation requirements necessary for the work, the provisions of American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME Code B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution System Piping System, latest edition, will be incorporated into the work. Other applicable codes, regulations and standards will be applied to the work when referenced by the controlling 49 CFI( 192 regulation and ASME B31.8 Code and as otherwise determined by normal and customary standard of practice for this type and nature of work. Structural steel pipe meeting or exceeding API 5L X42 specifications will be utilized for this project. This pipe has a minimum yield strength of 42,000 lbs per square inch (psi) and a tensile strength of 60,000 lbs psi. All pipe joints shall be welded and radiographically (x-rayed) inspected for conformance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart E, "Welding of Steel in Pipelines" and API Standard 1104 - "Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities" specifications. A specialized contractor certified to perform radiographic inspection will be employed to perform this work. Reinforced concrete thrust blocks shall be installed at both terminuses of the aboveground pipeline section. Concrete mix shall have a minimum ultimate compressive strength of 3000 psi. The pipeline's pump has a designed operating pressure of approximately 480 psi to lift 1200 gallons per minute. Utilizing U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline Safety Regulations 49 CFR 192.105 — Design Formula for Steel Pipe, the proposed 8" structural steel pipeline has an estimated maximum allowable working pressure of 1950 psi. This provides a factor of safety of approximately 3 or greater. Construction Phase All work shall be carried out in a safe manner in accordance with all local building codes and the safety requirements of the Colorado State Division of Labor and OSHA. Work shall be scheduled and abide by the traffic control and safety plan developed, and in cooperation, with the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department. Williams' Contractor will be required at the time of the pre -construction meeting to present a safety plan describing how he and subcontractors or materials suppliers on the job site will safely conduct work activities in accordance with OSHA standards. Provide adequate measures for the protection and safety of workmen, adjacent public and private property, and passers- by to the site. Provide shoring, sheeting and bracing to prevent caving, erosion, and gullying of sides of excavation. Provide for surface drainage during the construction period in a manner to avoid creating a nuisance to adjacent properties. Prior to completion of the work, remove from the job site all. tools, surplus material, scrap, equipment, debris, and waste.

In general, the width of the clearings will be kept to a practical minimum to avoid undue disturbance. Brush clearing will be limited to trimming and/or crushing to avoid disturbance of root systems. All brush and other materials that are cleared will be windrowed along the alignment. Where necessary, all brush and other debris cleared will be disposed of in accordance with instructions from the jurisdictional agency or landowner and all applicable laws and regulations. Topsoil removed during the clearing and grading operations will be segregated from subsoils. At a minimum, the first 6 inches of surface soil would typically be separated. These topsoils will be preserved for subsequent restoration activities on the easement. During aboveground pipeline installation, all work shall be scheduled and abide by the traffic control and safety plan developed, and in cooperation, with the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department. As currently configured, the aboveground pipeline shall be installed from Station 8+00 and placed until reaching its terminus at around Station 34+00. Aboveground pipeline sections shall be welded and radiographically weld -tested per DOT and API regulations prior to being installed. Pipeline sections shall be lowered -into place while tethered by two steel cables connected to two bulldozers or similar equipment. Reinforced concrete thrust blocks will be installed at or near Stations 8+00 and 34+00 to provided additional pipeline restraint. The operation will be continuously monitored during placement activities. When required by controlling agency or the landowner, construction activities will not be conducted during conditions when the sail on the easement or access roads are too wet to adequately support construction equipment. In such instances and where construction equipment creates excessively deep ruts, construction activities will be discontinued until soil conditions improve. All survey monuments located within the easement will be protected during construction activities. Survey monuments include, but are not limited to, General Land Office and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cadastral survey corners, reference corners, witness points, U.S. Coastal and Geodetic benchmarks and triangulation stations, military control monuments, and recognizable civil survey monuments. In the event of obliteration or disturbance of any of the above, the incident will be duly reported. Where General Land Office or BLM ROW monuments or references are obliterated during construction, the services of a registered land surveyor will be employed to restore the monuments in accordance with established procedures. Each such survey would be duly recorded with the appropriate county and other jurisdictional agencies. A typical ditch will be excavated 36 to 48 inches wide and approximately 60 inches deep. The depth of the ditch will vary with the conditions encountered The cover from top of pipe to ground level will generally be 48 inches. In extensive rocky areas, this maybe reduced to between 30 and 36 inches. Occasionally, the ditch will be excavated to depths greater than the general values specified. The ditch will be excavated to pass deeper beneath railroads, roads, streams, drainages, other pipelines, and other obstructions, if encountered. Existing pipeline locations will be marked in the field and 48-hour prior notification given to the pipeline or other underground utility operator. The section of pipeline located under County Road 335 has been bored to eliminate open road cuts and traffic disruptions. Boring methods may include horizontal slip or slick boring, horizontal directional drilling or both. The horizontal slip or slick boring method requires the excavation of boring pits at both the entry and exit points of the pipe installation. The depth of the bore pits is foot March 30, 2009 Page 3 1111 ! `i 111111161:'P01 Ifirsi N lith!L1P, *I 1111 Reception#: 785543 05103/2010 34:39 00 PM Jean Alberico 9 of 20 Rec Fee $0.00 Doc Fee 0.00 GARFIELD COUNTY CO Williams Production RMT Orion Pipeline Project - Construction Management Plan or more lower than the pipe installation. Pipe is installed on a straight horizontal and vertical grade line between the bore pit faces. The installation is accomplished by auger drilling a circular hole slightly larger than the pipe being installed. The boring proceeds through a pilot pipe which is advanced by mechanical jacking behind the auger head. Excavated material is discharged through the rear of the pilot pipe. After the pilot pipe has been advanced to the end, the carrier pipe is welded to its far end. The pilot pipe and carrier pipe pair is then drawn back through the drill excavated hole. When the carrier pipe is in place, the pilot pipe is cut off to be used again for the next bore crossing. Slip boring refers to "dry" drilling. Slick boring refers to the use of drilling fluids or muds to lubricate the process and provide circulation of bore cuttings from behind the auger and out the back of the pilot pipe. Pipe will be hauled by truck to the pipeline easement. Each individual joint of pipe will be unloaded by cranes or tractors equipped with side booms and slings, and strung parallel to the ditch. Sufficient pipe for road crossings will be stockpiled at staging areas near the crossing. Stringing operations will be coordinated with trenching and installation activities in order to properly manage the construction time at a particular tract of land. Gaps may be left at access points across the ditch to allow crossing of the easement. As construction proceeds, some of the pipe and stringing equipment will be temporarily stored at approved staging areas along the easement. After the joints of pipe are strung along the ditch but before the joints are welded together, individual joints of the pipe will be bent to accommodate horizontal or vertical changes in direction_ Such bends will be made utilizing an approved cold, smooth bending machine having a hydraulically operated shoe that makes the bend. Where the deflection of a bend exceeds the allowable design limits for field -bent pipe, shop fabricated pieces (induction or "hot bends") or trimmed segment -able forged fittings will be installed_ After the pipe joints are bent, the pipe is lined up end-to-end and clamped into position. The pipeline will then be welded in conformance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart E, "Welding of Steel in Pipelines" and API 1104, "Standard for Welding Pipelines and Related Facilities," latest edition. Welds will be visually inspected by a qualified inspector and will be subject to radiographic inspection in conformance with DOT requirements. A specialized contractor certified to perform radiographic inspection will be employed to perform this work. Any defects will be repaired or removed as required under the specified regulations and standards. The buried pipe will be externally coated with fusion bonded epoxy coating prior to delivery. After welding, field joints will be coated with either a tape wrap or shrinkable sleeve wrap. Before the pipe is lowered into the ditch, the pipeline coating will be visually and electronically inspected and any detected faults or scratches will be repaired. The aboveground pipe will be uncoated and left to oxide to a natural color. Once the buried pipe coating operation has been completed, the pipeline will be lowered into the ditch. Side -boom tractors will be used to simultaneously lift the pipe, position it over the ditch, and lower it in place. Inspection will be conducted to verify that minimum cover is provided, the trench bottom is free of rocksldebrisletc., external pipe coating is not damaged, and the pipe is properly fitted and installed into the ditch. In rocky areas, padding material or a rock shield will be used to protect the pipe. Backfilling will begin after the pipeline has been successfully placed in the ditch and final inspection has been completed. Backfilling will be conducted using a bulldozer, rotary auger backfiller, or other suitable equipment. Backfill will generally consist of the material originally excavated. In some cases, backfill material from other areas (borrow material) may be needed. 4 March 30, 2009 Page 4 1111 coroili►.ir, PtrinilrYle 'lli,H Reception#: 785543 06/03/2010 04.39:00 PM Jean Alberico 10 of 20 Rec Fee:$0 00 Doc Fee:0.00 GARFIELD COUNTY CO Williams Production RMT Orion Pipeline Project Construction Management Plan Backfill would be graded and compacted, where necessary for ground stability, by being tamped or walked in with a wheeled or track vehicle. The soils will be replaced in a sequence and density similar to preconstruction conditions. Subsoils will be backfilled first, followed by replacement of stockpiled topsoil. Once the excavation has been filled and compacted, the topsoil would typically be crowned in a berm, 12 -inches -high or less, and tapered outward from the center and/or spread uniformly over the disturbed ROW. The material in the bean is intended to compensate for normal settling of backfilled materials. Any excess excavated materials or materials unfit for backfill will be properly disposed of in conformance with applicable laws or regulations, and Iandowner or jurisdictional agency requirements. Where possible, these surplus materials will be spread out over the easement to avoid off-site disposal. Where required by controlling agencies, landowners, other situations and good cause, controlled compacted backfill will be placed at road crossings and other such locations. Backfill material to be placed shall be inspected and determined suitable for use by a qualified person. The backfill shall be placed at a controlled water content range in level uniform layers not exceeding 8 -inches compacted thickness. The resulting backfill density shall not be less than 90% maximum density (or higher if prescribed by permit, agency or landowner) as determined by an established AASHTO or ASTM procedure. The entire pipeline will be tested in compliance with 49 CFR Part 192 Pipeline Safety Regulations. This will be accomplished through hydrostatic or pneumatic testing. Prior to filling the pipeline for a hydrostatic test, each section of the pipeline will be cleaned by passing reinforced poly pigs throngb the interior of the line. The pipeline will then be filled with fluid, pressurized, and held for the duration of the test. The length of each segment tested will depend on local topography. Typically, the pressure tests of individual segments will be conducted in sequence and the test fluid will be transferred from one segment to another. When hydrostatic methods are used, test water intake and discharge will be done in conformance with all applicable local, state, and federal requirements. Performance of these operations shall avoid adverse impacts to aquatic, wildlife, and visual resources. Water for pipeline hydrotesting will be withdrawn from legal sources and disposed of into the Jolley Mesa water impoundment structure. Upon completion of backfilling, construction work will commence to clean up, restore, and re - vegetate the easement. Efforts will have been taken during the prior work to minimise erosion, restore the natural ground contour, account for trench settling, reestablish plant growth, and allow natural surface drainage. As agreed with the landowner or controlling agencies, all completed construction areas and temporary access roads will be returned as nearly as possible to their original condition and service. All restoration and re -vegetation will be completed to the satisfaction of the landowners, controlling agencies and other recognized parties. First, any trash, brush, surplus material, or other debris will be cleared from construction areas and disposed of in an appropriate manner. The easement will then be graded and restored to nearly preconstruction grades. Final restoration of disturbed areas will be accomplished by whatever means are most suited for the particular soils, terrain, vegetation and climate at a specific site. In general, waterbars will be constructed to prevent erosion of unconsolidated soils and provide drainage away from the disturbed area and into existing washes or drainages. Where deemed appropriate, slash will be used to control erosion. March 30, 2009 Page 5 Williams Production RMT Orion Pipeline Project - Construction Management Plan Reseeding will be accomplished using seed mix or plant species approved by the landowners or controlling agencies. Seedbed preparation and seeding operations will be conducted in accordance with accepted techniques for the particular area and task. In areas with difficult reclamation problems, restoration and re -vegetation will be considered a special management problem and will be resolved in coordination with the landowner and the respective authorities involved. Advice may be sought from specialty agencies or environmental consultants to fully determine the appropriate mitigation and reclamation measures needed. Prior to construction, concerns and issues of landowners, lessees and controlling agencies in regard to pipeline construction and livestock will be considered. Stipulations, requirements and reasonable requests developed from such inquires will be incorporated in the work. As a minimum. the following will be established for the work: • Fences crossing the easement will be braced, cut, and temporarily fitted with gates to permit passage. • During construction, the openings will be controlled as necessary to prevent the escape of livestock • Existing fences will be replaced and braces left in place upon completion of construction activities. • During construction, no gates or cattle guards on established roads over public or private lands will be obstructed or damaged by construction activities. • Adequate precautions will be taken to ensure that livestock and wildlife will not be prevented from reaching water sources because of open ditches or pipe strung along the ditch. Such precautions will include contacting livestock operators, providing adequate crossing facilities, or other measures as needed. • All damaged livestock facilities will be repaired or replaced to a condition as good as or better than the pre -construction condition. The final facilities shall be acceptable to the landowner, Iessee or other authorized person.
