Staff requests that the applicant take this a step irrther and construct a washing station that will wash vehicles and
equipment prior to entering and exiting the work site'
Revegetation
Reveeetation Plan
The applicant has provided a seed mix in the amount of 8 pounds (PIS) per acre, this is a low rate for this site and we
requesf that the applicant propose a higher seeding rate'
All seed tags must be saved and made available to the vegetation Management Department for verification'
Revegetation Security
It is the recommendation of this department that the applicant post a revegetation security. The applicant needs to quantifu
the amount of surface area to be disturbed on private land by tire pad and-pipeline construction Once this is done we will
be able to determine an amount for a revegetation security'
o Quantify pad surface arca to be disturbed
. quantify pipeline surface area to be disturbed on non-public land
The security shalt be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the
Reclamation Standards in the Garheld County Weed Management Plan It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact
the County, upon successful rwegetation est;blishment, to iequest an inspection for bond release consideration'

Craig,
l,ve looked over the above referenced application' As I see it, much of the material submitted is very general and
does not reaily address this specific project (i.e. stormwate*un"-j"r"nt, recramation and hazardous materials

that,s needed for an sUp or wourd etanningiai# ["* d;taireo site pians?' r'd appreciate some crarification with
regards to these questions.
l,m not sure whether this faciliry will require any type of air e.m.issions permit (because of condensate
accumuration) but wourd suggest trat approf,riltJto.rr"ntation oe irovioeo regaroing the need (or not) for such
a permit.

ir"qr"niy noise typically generated by smaller pumps'
Although sewage disposal system may not be needed, I recommend that a porlable toilet be required'
Although an asphalt apron is proposed off of the county roa^cl, I recommend that a pad surface be required that

SPECIFICS OF ADMINISTRATIVE OPBRATIONS
Diflerences hetween the oiligas industry ancl a typical residential/commercial
construction site require the incorporation of slight differences in the maintenance of this
SWMP. These changes meet all regulatory standarcls of the General Pennit, Stormwater
Discharge Associated with Constnrction Activity, issued by the state of Colorado.
EnCana maintains a tog book and/or archivcd tile tbr all l4 day and monthly inspections
for a mininrum of 3 years, either in the field in an inspector's log book or in an arc.hived
file in the oflice. Both are separate from the body of the SWMp; however, both are
readily available during any inspection. The body of the SwMp and the separate
stormwater inspectinn records comprise the entire SWMP, and go hand in hand in
kecping EnCana in compliance with stormwater regulations.
In addition to stormwater inspection records, the log book and archivcd files contain
specific site descriptions, including a site drawing shorving the equipment and equipment
placement on the site, dirt stockpiles and pits being utilized on the location, identitication
of cut and fill slopes, clirec.tiorr of water flow, and all BMP's being used on the site. The
site maps, also in the log book, will be adjusted as alterations in the site location occur.
A copy of EnCana's stormwater inspection form is included in this Appendix (C).

Before installing Curiex blankets, the seedbed shalt be inspected by the Owner's
Representative lo ensuro it has been proporly compacted and line graded to r€move
any existing rills. lt shall be f ree of obstructions, such as tree roots, projeclions such as
slones, and other foreign objects. The contractor shall proceed when salistactory
conditions are pres€nl. After the area has been properly shaped, seeded, ferlilized, and
compacted, curlex blankel's outside tape shall be removed. Nexl, locale lhe stan of the
roll, making sure the roll is lacing toward the area to be covered, and then roll out the
blanket. The blanket shall be rolled out flat, even, and smooth withoul stretching the
material then anchored to the subgrade.
Slopes: ll is recommended the blankets be installed vertically on the slope; however, on
short slopes it may be more practical to install horizontally across lhe width of the
application. lf more than one widlh is required, simply abut the edges togolher and
secure the blankets with a common row of staples. Overlapping of Curlex blankets is
not requlred. Curlex blankets shall be rrenched al the head ot the slope ll the blanket
cannot be extended three feet over the slope crest or il overland flow is anlicipated trom
upslope areas.
Channels: Curlex blankets shall be centered to oflsel a seam in the middle ol the
watenaray. They shallbe installed in the same direction as lhe water flow. The adjoining
blankets shall be installed away from lhe cenler of channel and overlapped. Curlex
blanket installation should conlinue up the side slopes and three feet over the crest to
the flat of the final grade. Flanks exposed to runotf , or sheet flow, must be protected by
a check slol or trenched. Gurlex blankets shall be trenched at lhe starl ot lhe channel
and anchored using a staggered staple pattern at end of roll overlaps and end ol roll
terminations.

Applications SPCC Plan Applicability
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the submittal of the aforementioned EnCana Oil & Gas (USA),
Inc. Railsback Satellite Water Gathering and M34 Satellite Gathering
Special Use Permit Applications, please find that these facilities may be
deemed an extension of or an ancillary facility to the existing Hunter Mesa
Water Park.
In review of federal regulations found in 40 Code of Regulations Part 112 Oil
Pollution Preventionl, not withstanding exemption to the regulation, the EPA
Regional Administrator may determine that aII or part of this regulation (the
requirement to develop and implement a Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure Plan) applies to these facilities and the owner/operator of
these facilities is required to develop and implement a SPCC Plan within six
months of such determination.
EnCana Oil & Gas OSA), Inc. has and continues to comply with the federal
Clean Water Act and federal regulations concerning Oil Pollution Prevention.
EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc. will either revise the existing Hunter Mesa
Water SPCC to include these facilities within the required six month
amendment period for revising a existing SPCC Plan or will develop and
implement a new SPCC PIan prior to operating Railsback or M34 Sattelite
Gathering facilities.
As required by federal regulation, the SPCC Plan will be on flle with EnCana
Oil & Gas (JSA), Inc. In addition, EnCana will submit a copy of the SPCC
Plan to Garfield County prior to operating either facility.
If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me

$ 112.1 General applicability.
(a)(1) This part establishes procedures, methods, equipment, and other requirements to prevent the
discharge of oil from non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the contiguous zone, or in
connection with activities under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act or the Deepwater Port Act of 1974,
or that may affect natural resources belonging to, appertaining
to, or under the exclusive management authority of the United States (including resources under the
Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act).
(2) As used in this part, words in the singular also include the plural and words in the masculine gender also
include the feminine and vice versa, as the case may require.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph
(d) ofthis section, this part applies to any owner or operator ofa non-trans-portation-related onshore or
offshore facility engaged in drilling, producing, gathering, storing, processing, refining, transferring,
distributing, using or consuming oil and oil products, which due to its location, could reasonably be
expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful, as described in part I l0 of this chapter, into or
upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the
contiguous zone, or in connection with activities under t}te Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act or the
Deepwater Port Act of 1974, or that may affect natural resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under the
exclusive management authority of the United States (including resources under the Magruson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act) that has oil in:
(l) Any aboveground container;
(2) Any completely buried tank as de-fined in $ I12.2;
(3) Any container that is used for standby storage, for seasonal storage, or for temporary storage, or not
otherwise "permanently closed" as defined in $ 112.2;
(4) Any "bunkered tank" or "par-tially buried tank" as defined in S I 12.2, or ary container in a vault,
each ofwhich is considered an aboveground storage container for purposes ofthis part.
(c) As provided in section 313 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), departments, agencies, and instrumentalities
of the Federal government are subject to this part to the same extent as any person.
(d) Except as provided in paragraph

(l) The owner or operator of any fa-cility, equipmenl or operation that is not subject to the jurisdiction of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under section 3l l(XlXC) of the CWA, as follows:
(i) Any onshore or offshore facility, that due to its location, could not reasonably be expected to have a
discharge as described in paragraph (b) of this section. This d€termination must be based solely upon
consideration of the geographical and location aspects of the facility (such as proximity to navigable waters
or adjoining shorelines, land contour, drainage, etc.) and must exclude consideration of man-made features
such as dikes, equipment or other structures, which may serve to restrain, hinder, contain, or otherwise
prevent a discharge as described in paragraph (b) ofthis section.
(ii) Any equipment, or operation of a vessel or transportation-related onshore or offshore facility which is
subject to the authority and control of the U.S. Deparhrent of Transportation, as defined in the
Memorandum of Understanding between the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of EPA,
dated November 24,1971 (Appendix A of this part).
(iii) Any equipment, or operation of a vessel or onshore or offshore frcility which is subject to the
authority and control of the U.S. Depmtment of Transportation or the U.S. Departrnent of the lnterior, as
defined in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of
the Interior, and the Administrartor of EPA, dated November 8, 1993 (Appendix B of this part).
(2) Any facility whictr, although oth-erwise subject to the jurisdiction of EPA, meets both of the following
requirements:
(i) The completely buried storage ca-paclty ofthe fucility is 42,000 gallons or less of oil. For purposes of
this exemption, the completely buried storage capacity of a facility excludes the capacity of a completely
buried tank, as defined in $ I 12.2, and connected underground piping, underground ancillary equipment,
and containment sysfems, that is currently subject to all of the technical requirements of part 280 of this
chaper or all of the technical requirements of a State program approved under prt 281 of this chaper.
The completely buried storage capacity of a facility also excludes the capacity of a container that is
"permanently closed," as defined in $ 112.2.
(ii) The aggregate aboveground stor-age capacity ofthe facility is 1,320 gallons or less ofoil. Forpurposes
ofthis exemption, only containers ofoil with a capacity of55 gallons or greater are counted. The aggregate
aboveground storage capacrty ofa facility excludes the capacity ofa container that is "permanently
closed," as defined in $ 112.2.
(3) Any offshore oil drilling, produc-tion, or workover facility that is subject to the notices and regulations
of the Minerals Management Service, as specified in the Memorandum of Understanding between the

requirement of this part. The production, recovery, or recycling of oil is not wastewater treatment for
purposes of this paragraph.
(e) This part establishes requirements for the preparation and implementation of Spill Prevention, Control,
and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans. SPCC Plans are designed to complement existing laws, regulations,
rules, standards, policies, and procedures pertaining to safefy standards, fire prevention, and pollution
prevention rules. The purpose of an SPCC Plan is to form a comprehensive Fed-eraUState spill prevention
progfilm that minimizes the potential for discharges. The SPCC Plan must address all
relevant spill prevention, control, and countermeasures necessary at the specific facility.
Compliance with this part does not in any way relieve the owner or operator of an onshore or
an offshore facility from compliance with other Federal, State, or local laws.
(f) Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of this section, the Regional Administrator may require
that the owner or operator of any fucility subject to the jurisdiction of EPA under section

the purposes of the CWA.
(1) Following a preliminary deter-mination, the Regional Administrator must provide a
written notice to the owner or operator stating the reasons why he must prepare an SPCC
Plan, or applicable part. The Regional Admirristrator must send such notice to the owner or
operator by certified mai-l or by personal delivery. If the owner or operator is a corporation,
the Regional Administrator must also mail a copy of such notice to the registered agent, if
any and if known, of the corporation in the State where the facility is located.
(2) Withh 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the owner or operator may provide
information and data and may consult with the Agenry about the need to prepare an SPCC
PIan, or applicable part.
(3) Within 30 days following the time under paragraph &X2) of this section within which the
owner or operator may provide information and data and consult with the Agency about the
need to prepare an SPCC PIan, or applicable part, the Regional Administrator must make a

owner or operator is a corporation, the Regional Adminish'ator must alss paif a copy of the
frnal determination to the registered agent, if any and if known, of the corporation in the
State where the facility is located. ( ) If the Regional Administrator makes a final
determination that an SPCC Plan, or applicable part, is necessary, the owner or operator
must prepare the Plan, or applicable part, within six months of that final determination and
implement the Plan, or applicable part, as soon as possible, but not later than one year after
the Regional Administrator has made a final determination.
(5) The owner or operator may appeal a final determination made by the Regional Administrator requiring
preparation and implementation of an SPCC Plan, or applicable part, under this paragraph. The owner or
operator must make the appeal to the Administrator of EPA within 30 days of receipt of the final

personnel, reducing contamination and the risk of slip
and fall injuries. If pans are not available the drums
will be placed inside other existing secondary
containment at that facility.
Truck Loading Steel Containment Loading connections are located inside secondary
containment. In additibh, the process is constantly
observed by truck loading personnel.
Pressure
Vessel
None Typical Failure is a pinhole leak under pressure; this
type of failure is not likely to be contained by a berm.
A diversionary berm is located on the west side of the
facility to prevent spills from moving off-site in that
direction.
Piping None Typical Failure is a pinhole leak under prcssure; this
type of failure is not likely to be contained by a berm'
ln addition, the majority of piping is located
underground, and a portion of the piping is located
within bulk storage secondary containment. In
addition, a diversionary berm is located on the west
side of the facility to prevent spills from moving off-
site in that direction.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The environmentai and economic effects of oil spills can be best avoided by preventing and
containing them in the first place. For more than two decades, EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasures (SPCC) program, has worked at several hundred thousand oil storage facilities to
prevent the discharge of all kinds of oil into the waters of the United States. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's GPA's) approach to preventing oil spills combines planning and enforcement
measures. To prevent oil spills, EPA requires owners or operators of certain oil storage facilities to
Prepare and implement SPCC Plans that detail the facility's spill prevention and control measures.
40 CFR Part 112 - Oil Pollution Prevention regulations establish procedures, methods, equipment
and other requirements to prevent the discharge of oil from non-transportation-related onshore and
offshore faciiities into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.
This SPCC Plan represents Encana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc's (EnCana's) standard ptan for
compliance with SPCC regulations found in 40 CFR, Part 112 for onshore facilities. It is to be
reviewed at least every 5 years, and updated and re-certified, if necessary, when changes are occu.
A record of these reviews is included in Appendix A. Any facility owned or operated by EnCana or
its subsidiaries must have an SPCC Plan unless it meets one of the following exceptions specified in
40 CFR, Part 112, Section 112.1:
1.The equipment or operation of vessels or the facility is subject to authority and
control of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The facility has an ag$egate storage of 3 I .4 banels (bbls) or less of oil. "Storage" is
defined as capacityof storage vessels and not actual stored volurne. "Oil" is defined
as oil in any form, including, but not limited to, petroleum,fuel oil, siudge, oil refuse,
and oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil. Onlycontainers with a capacity
of 55 gallons or greater are included in this calculation.
The facility has a total underground storage capacity of 1.000 bbls or less.
The facility, due to its location, could not reasonably be expected to discharge into or
upon navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines, or waters of the
contiguous zone, or in connection with activities under the Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act or Deepwater Port Act, or affecting certain natural resources. "Navigable
waters" are defined in Public l^aw 92-500 as interstate waters; intastate lakes, rivers,
and strearrrs (year-round or seasonal) which are utilized by interstate travelers for
recreational or other purposes; and intrastate lakes, rivers, and sreams (year-round or
seasonal) from which fish or shellfish are taken and sold in interstate commerce.

uffrumned natural gas production facilities used for initial fluid separation and storage of liquids
from a single natural gas well. These facilities operate continuously,365 days peryear, with periodic
monitoring by trained operations personnel on a regular basis.
The raw production flows from the well ttrough a pre$sure vessel and is separated into bo& gas and
liquid phases. The gas phase (natural gas) flows into a natural gas pipeline system and is tansported
to an offsite proce$shg facility. The produced liquids flow to a well-specific storage tank where,
once a sufficient volume of hydrocarbon liquid (condensate) has accumulated, it is transferred into a
tank truck and transportcd offsite. Periodically, the produced water is loaded into a tank truck and
sent to a produced water disposal facility.
1.2 Surrounding Land Use
Sunounding property consists primarilyof rangelatr{ which is used for livestock grazing, as well as
some nral residential land. Vegetation consists of indigenous grasses and scrub bmsh.
13 Drainage Pethway end Distauce to Navigable lVaters
Drainage pathways and surface water bodies may be impacted by a release from these sites. A
current topographic map and a plot plan for each well site are included as Figures I and 2 of the
facility-specific amachments to this SPCC Plan. These figures provide vital information including
the location and proximity to nearby drainage pathways and sudace water bodies (Figure 1) and
direction of flow (Figure 2).

2.0 POTEMIAL FATLURE ASSESSMENT ($112.7(b))
The reasonably expected modes of failure or accidents, in which oil orproduced water could be
spilled from storage facilities at these well production site aregenerallypresented in the following
sections. Site-specific information for each production facility is prcsented in that facility's
respective attachment.
A. Storage Tauk Leak aud Failure
i. Rate of flow: Variable - depends on the size and location of tank failure.
ii. Total quantity of oil &at could be discharged: The total quantity of oil that could be
discharged would not exceed the worfting capacity of the largest storage tank (See Table I of
each attachment).
iii. Total quantitv of produced water that could be discharged: The total quantity of produced
water that could be discharged would not exceed the working capacity of the largest stoxago
tank (SeeTable I ofeach attachrnent).
iv. Direction of flow: A spill from a tank leak or failure initially will be contained inside the
secondary containment structure (berm) that surrounds the tank. (See berm dimensions on
Figure 2 of each attachment.) Should a release escape from the containment stilcture, the
liquid would pool in the immediate vicinity and then flow in the direction indicated on
Figures I & 2 of each attachment. No dwellings or surface water supplies are located within
the path of a spill originating from this site.
B. Tank Overflow
i. Rate of flow: Rate is presented in Table I of each attachment, in barels per doy (BPD).
These estimates are based on site-specific average condensate and produced water flow rates
into the tanks.
ii. Total guantity of oil that could be discharged: Variable. The total quantity spilled is in
proportion to the length of time the tank is overflowing.
iii. Total quantity of water that could be discharged: Variable. The total quantity spilled is in
proportion to &e length of time the tank is overflowing.
iv. Direction of flow: A spill from a tank leak or failure initially will be contained inside the
secondary containment structur€ (berm) that surrounds the tank. (See berm dimensions on
Figure 2 of each affachment.) Shouid a release escape from the containment stnrctue. the
liquid would pool in the immediate vicinity and then flow in the direction indicated on
Figrues I & 2 of each attachrnenl No dwellings or surface water supplies are located within
the path of a spill originating from this site.
C. Condensate Transfer fuea
Oil at this facility is normally transportod by tmck. kr the tank truck loading areq &ere is potential
for the truck compartment to overflow while being filled. Another failure mode could occur when
loading system piping is parted or broken off during transfer from the tank to the tnrck compartment.

barrels oil pcr hour (BOPH). The maximurn rate of flow, if a loading system component is
accidentally broken off while loading is approximarely 360 BOPH.ii. Total quantity of oil that could be discharged: The total quantity of oil, which could be
discharged, is the largest compartment on a tank tmck, which is not expected to exceed 165
barrels for any oil hauling trrck utilized in the operation.
iii. Direction of flow: The tank loading area is flat, thus oil spilled from a tnrckrelated failure
would be released in and around the loading area. Load out operarions are always observed
by trucking personnel and thus a loading release would be noted immediately. Should a
release occur, however, the liquid would pool in the immediate vicinity and then flow in the
direction indicated on Figures I &.2 of each attachment. No dwellings or surface water
supplies are located within the path of a spill originating from this site.
D. Pressure Yessel Failure
i. Rate of flow: Variable. Depends on the size of the pressure vessel and mode of failure. The
total maximum rate of flow expected from a pressure vessel failure is not anticipated to
exceed the amount of total liquid per day presented in Table 1 of each attachment plus fluid
volume of the vessel above the elevation of nrpture. The maximum storage capacity of the
separator is approximately 2.0 bbls.
ii. Total quantity of liquid that could be discharged: Variable. Depends on the rate of flow
entering the pressure vessel and the location of the failure. The maximum porential release
would not exceed thequantity noted in Secrion D(i).
iii. Direction of flow: See Figures I & 2 of each attachment.
E. Piping Failure
i. Rate of flow: Variable, depending on size and location of a piping related failure. Maximum
expected potential rate of flow is not anticipated to exceed the amount of totat liquid per day
presented in Table I of each attachment. Personnel routinely perform visual inspection of
piping and buried flowiine right-of-ways to detect anyfailures.
ii. Total guantity of oil that could be discharged: Variable. Depends on the rate of flow entuing
the pressure vessel and the location of ttre failure. The maximum potential release would not
exceed the quantity nored in Section E(i).
iii. Direction of flow: See Figures 1 & 2 of each attachmenr
F. Produced Water Transfer Area
Produced water at this facility is normally uansponed off-site by tank trucks to a disposal facility.
Dueto ttre tlpeof tank truck used (vacuumtruck), there is nopotential forthe Euck cnmpartmEnt to
ovcrflow while being filled. A failure or spill could occur if the loading systempiping is parted or
broken during transfer operations.
i. Rate of flow: The rate of flow if a loading system component accidentally parted while

loading is approximately 360 BWPH.
ii. Toul quantity of produced water that could be discharged: Variable. The totai quantiry of
produced water that could be discharged is the largest compartment on a tank truck that is
not exPected to exceed 100 barrcls for any hauling truck utilized in the operation.
iii. Direction of flow: Produced water spilled resulting from a transfcrrelated failure would be
limited to the loading area and would be noted immediately by tnrck loading personnei.
2,1 Appropriate Containment and/or Diversion Struchrres ($112.7(c))
Table 2 of each facility attachment identifies bulk storage containers and a significant portion of &e
aboveground piping are protected by appropriate secondary mntainment to prevent releases from
entering or potentially enterilg navigable water and/or waters of the state.
However, secondary conuinment and/ordiversionary souchres arc impracticable to install arourd or
near all buried piping, production units (skids units containing pressure vessels and associated
piping), and other facility piping not located within secondary containment (i.e. piping from
wellhead to production unit). This is firther discussed in the equipment-specific sections of this
plan.
For the above listed sources not protected by secondary containment, the following steps have been
taken to provide equivalent environmental protection:
. An Oil spill Contingency Plan has been developed and is included in Section 13.0 of this
plan ($112.7(dX1)).. A Written Commitment of Manpower, Equipment and Material for Spill Control has been
developed and is included in Appendix B ($112.7(dX2)).. Periodic integrity testing of containers will be performed and documented.. Periodic integrity and leak testing of valves and piping will be performed and documented.
Integrity testing, leak testing, and inspectionprocedures for each of specific types of equipment are
discussed in later sections.

Ear0rcn berms, ring dikes, and other containment structures are inspected on a r€ular basis for
damage and for accumulations of oil, produced water, and precipitation. No written rccord is keptof
routine operational examinations. Generally, there are no provisions for drainage from &e
containment areas. Minor accumulations of prccipitation are allo\ryed to evaporate. Iarge
accumulations of precipitation and/or produced water may be removed with a vacuum truck snd
returned to the separation vessels for treatment or removed to a permitted disposal facility for
disposal.
Drainage ditches in and around the facilities and roadside ditches within tle field are observed bythe
field operators during the routine operational examinations. ff pollution or evideace of a spitt is
detected, the source will be found and stopped. The ditch will be isolated by constructing an earrhen
dam or o&er suitable containment and the oil or other pollutant will be removed or treated as
appropriate. The applicable agency will be informed as required by regutation of this type of event
based on the type of fluid and volumes released.

6.0 BULK STORAGE TANKS (9112.e(c)
At these facilities. bulk storage tanks are utilized to store condensate and produced water. The
flumber and size of tanks at each site are presented in Table 1 of the facility attachments.
6.1 Tank Design
Oil storage tanks are vertical fixed roof tanks, cylindrical in shape, constructed of steel to API 12F
specifications or equivalent. The tanks are painted to prevent corrosion, The total volume of the
tanls are sufficient for normal inflow rates considering the time interval berween operating p€rsonnel
visits. Tanks are equipped with equalizer lines of adequate size for normal inflow rates and for
overflow protection. Over pressure protection is utilized in the form of a tank relief/vent valve
and/or an API vacuum/vent gauge hatch. The API vacuurn/vent gauge hatch also provides vacuum
protection during load out.
Produced water tanks may be of either steel or fiberglass constuction. If the tanks are above ground
they are steel, built to API 12F specifications, partially buried tanks would be of fiberglass
constructioa. These produced water tanks are either open top tanks (no rent or vacuum protection
required) or would have similar protection as discussed for the oil storage tanks.
6.2 SecondaraContainmentDesign
Secondary containment at these facilities consists of galvanized comrgated steel rings provided by
Sioux Steel Secondary Containment Systems. These rings are engineer design certified and include,
ground liners, flanged tops, double bolted searns, and"Z'posts for additional strength.
6.3 Tank Examinations,Inspections, and Record Keeping
Production operators perform routine operational examinations on each tank for indication of leals,
abnorrnalities, or equipment malfunctions during their daily visit to &e facility. Should daily visits
not be performed, routine operational examinations will be performed no less than monthly.
Unscheduled and scheduled examinations and inspections should be perfonned as directed in API
RP 12R1. Any necessary maintenance or repairs also should follow the industry standard API RP
12R1, Recorunended. Practicefor Setting, Mainterwnce,Inspectio4 Operation, and Repair afTanb

7.A PRESSTIREIPROCESSVESSELS
At these facilities, pressure atrd/or process vessels are utilized in the separation and dehydration of
Produced fluids. Oil and produced water flow into, through and out of these vessels by
interconnecting piping.
7.1 PressurelProcess Vessel Design and lVlaintenatrce
Pressure vessels arc designed to meet ASME Boilerand Pressure Vessel Code, Section vI[. process
vessels arc t)?icaily designed to either the ASME Section YIII code and/or the applicabte .Apl
specification (i.e., l2l, LzK, I2GDU, lzl-).
Maintenance of pressure or process vessels must at a minirnum follow Section 8.0 of ApI Rp 510,
Alternative Rulesfor Exploration and production pressure vessels.
7.2 Secondary Containment Design
Secondary containment is typically NOT practicable for pressure/process vessels for the following
reasons:
. The dikes and trgnches can trap explosive gases such as methane and hazardous vapors such
as hydrogen sulfide leading to poteutial safety and exposure problems;. Faciiity is located on public lands, the tue of which prescribedminimal surface disturbance,
etc. Damage to vegetation and potential erosion due to construction of dikes would probably
be grcater than the risk adjusted environmental impact of a spill. Ir would also be difficult to
maintain dike integrity and to drairr off rainwater;. Extensive diking aud/or drainage trenches would interfere with site access for normal
operation;. The facility is routinely checked by production operators;. fire most likely type release from the process vessels is a pressure release frorn the "pop-off'
valve discharging gas rather than crude oil; and. Depending on site-specific conditions, the volume of oil stored in a process vessel is
insufficient to reach waters of the U.S., even on the event the total capacity of the
treater/separator is spilled.
7.3 PressureProcess Yessel Examinations, fnspections, and Record Keeping
Production operators perform routine operational exarninations on the pressure/process vessels for
indication of leaks, abnormalities, or equipment malfunctions during ttreira*y ririt to the facility.
Should daily visits not be performed, routine operational examinations will be performed no less
than monthiy.
Examinations, inspections and record keeping rnust at a minimum follow Section 8.0 of ApI Rp 510,

8.0 PIPING
Oil and produced water flow from the well, into and out of pressure vessels and to bulk storage by
interconnecting piping. The piprng may be either above or berow $ound.
8.1 Piping Design and Maintenance
New piping is tlpically desigaed and installed to either ASME 831.3, 31.4 specificarions. Exisring
piping is expected to have been installed to similarstandards.
Maintenance inspections of interconnecting piping at well production facilities will be preformed in
ascordance with A}ISUAPI574, Inspection Practicesfor Piping Sysreia Components.
8.2 Secondary Containment Design
Secondary containment is tlpically NOT practicabte for underground and piping associated wittr the
production unit (process vessels) and the piping from the well to the production unit for the
following reasons:
. The dikes and trenches can trap explosive gases such as methane and hazard.ous vapors such
as hydrogen sulfide leading to potential safety and exposure problems;. Facility is located on public lands, the use of which prescribed minimal surface disturbanee,
etc. Damage to vegetation and potentiat erosion due to construction of dikes would probably
be worse than the risk adjusted environmental impact of a spill. It would also be difficult to
maintain dike integrity and to drain off rainwater;. Extensive diking and/or drainage trenches would interfere witir site access for normal
operation; and. Tlpical interconnected piping segrnents do not meet the de minimis requirements of this rule.

9.0 BRITTLE FRACTURE EVALUATION ($1I2.7(i))
Based on the material, construction, operational, and environmenkl paramsters associated with these
well production facilities, there is minirnal risk of failure due to brittle fracnre. This is providedthat
all governing requirements for repairs. alterations, reconstruction, or change in service are in
accordance with the applicable API standard (i.e., ApI Rp 12R1, Rp510).
9.1 Bulk Storage Containers
The steel storage tanks used at these facilities, which rnayhave potential for briule fracture failures,
are vertical fixed roof tanks constructed to API 12F specifications. The thickest plate for an ApI lz
series tank is less than 0.5 inches, which is the necessary thickness to induce brittle fracture. This
critical wall ttrickness is confirmed from actual production experience, as referenced in Appendix C
of API RP 12R1. Thus britrle fracture is not a concem for API 12 series tanks unless they are
operating in arctic service. The environmental conditions for these facilitia would not be considered
arctic in nature though cold temperatures are experienced.
9.2 Pressure Yessels
Pressure vessels, which may have potential for brittle fracture failures, have been constructed to
ASMEBoiler and hessure Vessel Code Section VIII Process vessels (i.e., glycol dehydration units,
heated separators), which may have potential for brittle fracrure failures, are typically constmcted to
API 12K and 12GDU specifications. If such construction standards have been followed, the
appropriate precautions should have been taken to reduce or eliminate the potential for briule
fracture failures (i.e., stress retief of applicable welds where the steel thickneis could potentially
cause susceptibiliry to brittle fracture failures).
9.3 Piping and Fittings
Tlpical piping and fittings used at these facilities would nor be susceprible to briule fracture failure
due to the size, type of service and environmental conditions they are subjected to. Shoutd piping of
a greater thickness he required, appropriate stress reliving techniques would be utilized to minimize
any potential for brittle fracture failure.

10.0 TRAIT{SIIER OPERATTONS, pUMprNG, AND FACILITY PROCESS ($112.S(di)
AII above ground valves and pipelines receive rcutine operational exardnations by operating
Personnel at which time the gBneral condition of iterns, such as flangejoints, valve bodies, pip"tioi
supporls, locking of valves, and metal surfaces are assessed.l{hen a pipeline is not in serviie}or an
extended time the connection at the transfer point is capped or blank-flanged.
Buried piping installations have a protecdve wrapping and coating. Sections of buried line are
carefully examined for deterioration in the event they are exposed. If corrosion damage is foun{
additional examination and corrective action is taken as indicated by the magnitude of the damage.
Pipe supports are kept to a minimum by keeping pipe runs short and use of pipe able to carry the
span without suPporl If supports are necessary they allow for applicable expansion and contraction
while minimizing potential abrasive conditions.
Atoveground piping is guarded if it appears to bc exposed to vehicular uaffic hazards. Tlpically,
piping is located withia the bermed area or kept close to structures to minimize their exposure to
vehicular traffic. A program of flowline maintenance program is followed at these faiitities as
described in Section 8.0.

13.3.1 Spills onto Soil
Mobile oil spills should be contained as soon as possible by the construction of earthen dams or bythe placement of mechanical baniers. Free oil may be removed from the ground by the use of aYacuurl truck- Sumps or Eenches may be dug to inrercept or drain free oil. femaining free oil may
be removed from the ground by the use of oil-absorbeni materials.
When all free oil has been removed, the affected soils containing over l.oVo total petroleum

(Placing the contaminated soil on a sheet of visquene and covering it with asheet of visquene is one acceptable method to prevent stonnwater contamination.)
A final cleanup level.of-1.0% TPH by weight should be achieved as soon as possible. Severalmethods are acceptable for the cleanup of oil-contaminated soil; regulatory agencies may specifywhich rnethod to use forthe cleanup. Bioremediation, a technically sound and reasonablyeconomicmethod, is the process of allowing oit-reeaing microbes to consume the oil. Bioremediation may beenhanced by the addition of commercially available microbes and nutrients to the contaminated soiland-by roto-tilling the soil for aeration. If on-site bioremediation is selected as the remediationr-nethod, the impacted soil should be rnixed with clean soil to achieve a uniform mixture ro rlorethan eighteen (18) inches deep.
Produced oil spills located incritical areas will have variable TpH oil cteanup standards dependingon the point total determined on the oil contaminated soil remediation ranking system (oCSRRs). Itwill range from 10.000 mykg down ro 1,000 mg/kg TpH.

specifically COGCC rules and regulations covered under Series 1000 (Reclamation
Regulations) (see Exhibit *A").
The expected life of the Railsback Satellite Water Gathering Facility will be equal to the
duration of EnCana Oil & Gas operations in the Mamm Creek Field and surrounding
producing areas. Reclamation of the site will consist of the following:
1. Construction Phase @uration 2 weeks)
o Clearing of existing vegetation from access road and facility site. Disposal of existing vegetation and slash
o Excavation and stockpiling of a minimum of 6" of topsoil to be located at the
southwest corner of the facility site.
o Excavation and grading of site to a flat condition
o Installation of tanks and associated equipment
o Landscaping of site to include painting of surface equipment and fencing of
site boundary.
2. Post Construction Phase (Duration I week)o Cleanup and removal of all trash and debris
o Reseeding of all disturbed areas to include topsoil pile.
o Continued dust control and mitigation measures
o Continued monitoring of revegetation growth. Re-application of seed as
required
3. Abandonment Phase (Within 3 months following cessation of operations). All tanks and above ground appurtenancqs to be removed and recycled
within other EnCana operations
o Removal of all fencing
. Removal of rock and gravel materials fiom access road and facility siteo Restoration and re-contouring of grade to approximately original conditiono Replacement of topsoil over disturbed siteo Reseeding with certified, weed-free seed mixes as recommended in
revegetation plan (See Exhibit "8" & "C)). Compliance with all prevailing COGCC and GarFreld County regulations
and conditions governing final reclamation
Prior to abandonment of the water gathering facility, EnCana will contact the Garfield
County Planning Director to arrange a meeting and joint inspection of the site. This
meeting and inspection would take place a minimum of 30 days prior to the abandonment
and would be held so that an agreement on an acceptable abandonment plan can be
reached. The Abandonment and Reclamation Plan would be developed to address the
bullet points listed above:

1OO1 . INTRODUCTION o
RECLAMATTON REGULAT'Ob
a' General' The rules and regulations of this series establish the proper reclamation of the land and soilaffected by oil and gas operations and ensure the protection of the topsoii of said land during such operations.The surface of the land shall be restored as nearly as practicable to its condition at the commencement ofdrilling operations.
b' Additional requirements. Notwithstanding the provisions of the l ooo Series rules, when the Director hasreasonable cause to believe that a proposed oil and gas operatio" ;;"lJ .*rl ln a significant adverseenvironmental impact on any air, water, soil, or biologlcal resource, the Director shall conduct an onsiteinspection and.may request an emergency meeting of thJcommission to address the issue.
c' surface owner waiver of 1o0o series rules. The commission shall not require compliance with Rules1oo2" 1003" 10o4'a', b', or c.(1 ), Ql , or (3), if the operator can demonstrate to the Director,s or thecommission's satisfaction that compliance with such rules is not necessary to protect the public health, safetyand welfare, including prevention of significant adverse environmental impacts, and that the operator hasentered into an agreement with the surface owner regarding topsoil protection and reclamation of the land,Absent bad faith conduct by the operator, penaltiei may only be imposed for non-compliance with acommission order issued after a determination that, notwithsianding such agreement, compliance is necessaryto protect public health, safety and welfare. Prior to final reclamation af,proval as to a specific well, theoperator shall either comply with the rules or obtain a variance under Rule sriz.u, This rule shall not have theeffect of relieving an operator from compliance with the goo Series rules.
1OO2. SITE PREPARATION
a. Effective June 1 , 19g6:
(1) Fencing of drill sites and access roads on crop lands. During drilling operations on crop lands, whenrequested by the surface owner, the operator shall delineate each drillsite and access road on crop landsconstructed after such date by berms, single strand fence or other "qrtutunt method in order todiscourage unnecessary surface disturbance.
l2l Fencing of reserve pit when livestock is piesent. During drilling operations where livestock is in theimmediate area and is not fenced out by existing fences, the operator, at the request of the surfaceowner, will install a fence around the reserve pit.
(3) Fencing of well sites. Subsequent to drilling operations, where livestock is in the immediate areaand is not fenced out by existing fences, the opeiator, at the request of the surface owner, will install afence around the wellhead, pit and production equipment to prevent livestock entry.
b. Soil removal and segregation.
(1) soil removal and segregation on crop land. As to all excavation operations undertaken after June l,1996 on crop land, the operator shall separate and store the various A, B, anJ c soil horizons separatelyfrom one another and mark or document stockpile locations to .facilitate subsequent reclarnation. whenseparating soil horizons, the operator shall segregate horizons based upon noted changes in physicalcharacteristics such as color, texture, density oi consistency. on crop land below the c horizon, the soilhorizons shall also be segregated based on the above noted physical characteristics. segre!ation will beperformed to the extent practicable to a depth of slx (6) feet or bedrock, whichever is shallower.
(21 soil removal and segregation on non crop tand. As to all excavation operations undertaken afterJuly 1, 1997 on non crop land, the operator shalt separate and store the A soil horizon or the top six (6)inches' whichever is deeper, and mark or document stockpile rocations to facilitate subsequentreclamation' when separating the.A_soil horizon, the operator shall segregate the horizon based uponnoted changes in physical characteristics such as color, texture, density oi cJnsistency.
(3) Horizons too rocky or too thin- When the soil horizons are too rocky or too thin for the operator topracticably segregate, then the topsoil shall be segregated to the extent po""lut" and stored. Too rockyshall mean that the soil horizon consists oi greitei than thirty five percent l31o/ol by volume rockfragments larger than. ten (1 o) inches in diametei. Too thin shall mean soil horizons that are less than six

Integrated vegetation and Noxious weed Management pran
Railsback Produced Water Facility
Introduction
On December 12,2006, a field inspection of the proposed facility site was conducted by
WestWater Engineering (WWE) biologists. The inspection ideniified appropriate topics for
inclusion in an integrated vegetation and noxious weed management plan required by Garfield
County Regulation 9.07 .04 ( l3) (BOCC ,2006). Factors considered include ioil type and texture,
existing land management, absence or presence of listed noxious weeds and likely potential
natural vegetation community.
As can be seen in Photo l, conditions were not ideal for a site investigation due to the
accumulation of approximately 2 inches of wet, compacted snow. Alihough no mature listed
noxious weeds were found, rosettes could have been present but not observable due to snow
cover.
Landscape Setting
The site for the proposed Railsback Produced Water Facility is located on the first terrace above
Mamm Creek west of County Road 315 on nearly level terrain (Map, page 6). West of the site
the slope quickly rises to the second terrace (Photo 1). The Arvadaloarnsoil consists of very
deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium and colluvium derived from sodic shale (NRCS,20068). Characteristic natural vegetation is listed in Table 1.

Other vegetation observed on or immediately adjacent to the site included basin big sagebrush,
Artemesia tridentata tridentata, and a probable big sagebrush hybrid, possibly A.i. tridentata xA. t. vaseyana, which is receiving heavy browsing by mule deei. No livestock use was apparent.A pipeline right-of-way on the north boundary (right foreground in Photo l) is well re-vegetatedwith cool season grasses, probably introduced and including wheatgras ses, Agropyroru spp. Noapparent noxious weeds were observed in the pipeline re-vegetation at the tirie oi imp.iion.
Current Amount of Infested Land Needing Treatment
.As stated previously, no listed noxious weeds or invasive species were noted on the date ofinspection. Introduced grasses on the adjacent pipeline u.. u.or""m to some but are notregulated' These grasses did not appear invasivi on adjacent, undisturbed soils at this location.Though no listed noxious weeds were found to be present, there are several species of listednoxious weeds known by WWE biologists to be nearby. These species are listed in Table 2.
Best Management practices
The following list of practices is recommended to enhance reclamation of the site and preventthe establishment of undesirable vegetation.o Clean equipment_of all soil to prevent the spread of noxious weed seeds which may bepresent in the soil from a previous job site.o Reduce or eliminate temporary disturbance for the staging of equipment, supplies or
o Salvage and segregate topsoil then use it to reclaim unavoidable temporary soildisturbance.o Within the immediate working area, no vegetation should be allowed to becomeestablished for safety reasons. wwE recommends newer soil sterilants, e.g. Sahara,which require lower amounts of active ingredient and are retained on site much betterwith far less chance of drift to desirable vegetation than older products such as ureabore.

Re-vegetation
Areas unavoidably disturbed but

not within the working area of the facility should be re-seeded
Broadcast seed rate should be double. Harrowing leaving a rough surface followed by broadcast
seeding followed by harrowing is an effective method. *oadcast seeding followed by mulchingwith weed-free certified straw crimped into place is another good methodl Seeding should occur
on this site immediately after completion of work.
