separate from spoil rnaterial (on one side or the other of the trench,/working side).
Topsoil shall only bc used for reclamation and shall not be'used to bed or pad the pipe
during backfilling.
All surface disturbance shall be limited to the minimum necessary to complete pipeline. All
construction activities and surface disturbance for the pipeline shall take place within the
35 foot width of the right-of-way. The exterior limits of the right-of-way shall be flagged on
the ground as necessary to prevent disturbance outside of the approved right-of-way width.
Ali construction adjacent to a road shall utilize the width of the road as working side of the
35 foot construction wiclth. The pipeline, where adjacent to the access road shall be buried
just outside the borrow ditch on the north side of the Logan Wash road.
Open trenches shall be maintained in a safe condition. As necessary to maintain safety,
trenches adjacent to roacls shall have warning devices or flagging installed upon completion

Drainages shall not be blocked or filled with loose dirt or debris.
The pipeline shall bc buried a minimum depth of 48 inches at road crossings and 36 inches
through typicai soil and rock, and a minimum of 24 inches in areas requiring rock blasting.
These are minimum clepths and the holder is responsible to bury the pipe to a depth which
can safely accommoclate existing uses.
Pipeline warning signs shall be installed along the right-of-way within five days of
construction completion and prior to use of the pipeline for transportation of product.
Pipeline warning signs are required at all road crossings. For safety purposes each sign
shall be permanently marked with the right-of-way serial number and shall clearly identify

landscape as much as possible. The disturbed areas shall be seeded with the following
mixture. Application rates are for pure, live seed (PLS). Seed tags must be submitted to
the Area Manager within 30 days of seeding.

Re: Conditional Use Permit Appticat.ion
Dear Mr. Barbee:
Rocky Mountain Natural- Gas Company is hereby applying for a
Conditional Use Permit for a pipeline interconnecL between it and
TransColorado Gas Transmission Company. Said interconnect will
allow for a higher leve] of security for K N Energy, Inc. gas

of 30', below the surface. Instatlation will be accomplished by
trenching and then replacing alI excavat.ed material back into the
trench. AIl original contours wiII be replaced to
preconstruction conditions. The facility will operate twenty
forr, (24) hours/day. It is anticipated that an average of no
more than one (r) vehicl-e trip/day will be necessary Lo access

STIPULATIONS
The holder shall request a joint pre-construction inspection with the authorized officer at
least 1 week prior to ttre commencement of any surface disturbing activities authorized

inspection. The contact person is Tom Bargsten at the Grand Junction Resource Area
office, phone (970) 244-3030.
The holder shali obtain an agreement to construct from existing rights-of-way holders and
pipeline operators prior to any disturbzlnce or construction of pipeline across or adjacent to
any existing right-of-way or approved pipeline.
The area is in a Critical Deer and Elk Winter Range, and is closed to construction activity
from December l th,r.ough May 1. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Area
Manager after consultation with the wildlife biologist.
When saturated soil conclitions exist on or along the right-of-way, construction shall be
halted until soil material dries out suffrciently for construction to proceed without undue
damage and erosion to the right-of-way.
At least 4 inches of topsoil shall be stripped across the full width of the R./W and stockpiled
separate from spoil rnaterial (on one side or the other of the trenchr/working side).
Topsoil shall only be uscd for reclamation and shall not be used to bed or pad the pipe
during backfilling.
Al1 surface disturbance shall be limited to the minimum necessary to compiete pipeline. All
construction activities and surface disturbance for the pipeline shall take place within the
85 foot width of the right-of-way. The exterior limits of the right-of-way shall be flagged on
the ground ,, ,."ussoiy to prevent disturbance outside of the approved right-of-way width.
All construction adjacent to a road shall utilize the width of the road as working side of the
35 foot construction width. The pipeline, where adjacent to the access road shall be buried
just outside the borrow ditch on the north side of the Logan wash road.
Open trenches shall be maintainecl in a safe condition. As necessary to maintain safety,
trenches adjacent to roacls shall have warning devices or flagging installed upon completion
of daily construction or at anytime personnel are not present at the construction site.
Drainages shall not be blocked or filled with loose dirt or debris.
The pipeline shall be buried a minimum depth of 48 inches at road crossings and 36 inches
through typical soil and rock, and a minimum of 24 inches in areas requiring rock blasting.
These are minimum depths and the holder is responsible to bury the pipe to a depth which
can safely accommodate existing uses.
Pipeline warning signs shail be installed along the right-of-way within five days of
construction completion and prior to use of the pipeline for transportation of product.
Pipeline warning signs are required at all road crossings. For safety purposes each sign
stratt Ue permanently marked with the right-of-way serial number and shall clearly identify

The holder shall be responsible for maintaining roads in good condition from the beginning
to completion of opcrations, as we well as periodic maintenance over the life of the
right-of-way. This may include, but is not limited to blading the driving surface, cieaning
clitches and drainagc facilities, dust abatement, or other requirements as directed by the
authorized officer.
Trash shall be confined in a covered container while the project is in progress. Upon
completion, all trash, flagging, laths, etc. shall be removed and hauled to an authorized
disposal site. No burning of trash, trees, brush or any other material shall be allowed.
AII surface faciiities shall be painted a non-reflective tan or dark green color that blends
with the natural environment.

commencing reclamation work.
Applicant/Lessee shall comply with all County resolutions and regulations and permit
requirements.
All disturbed areas that are not part ofthe road shall be recontoured to blend with the

associated with the surface disturbance so that the project area will fit into the natural
landscape as much as possible. The disturbed areas shall be seeded with the following
mixture. Application rates are for pure, live seed (PLS). Seed tags must be submitted to
the Area Manager within 30 days of seeding.

rate and cover Vz to 1 inch deep with a harrow or drag bar. Seeding must be completed after
September 1 and prior to October 15 of 1998.
The area is considered to be satisfactorily reclaimed when:
A. Soil erosion resulting from the operation has been stabilized.
B. A vegetative covcr at least equal to that present prior to disturbance and a plant
species composition at least as desirable as that present prior to disturbance has
been established. Establishment of all the species in the seed formula will be
considered as meeting the composition/ desirable species criteria.
Additional work will be required until these conditions are satisfied.
