EnCrna oil & Gas (USA) lnc proposes to construct, operate, and maintain a satellite water gathering facility to be located approximately 4 miles south of the City of Rifle' Colorado, and 1.75 *i1", west of Gardeta County Road 319' The proposed facility will physically be instalt,ed on the existing M34 well iad in se$on 34, Township 6 South' and Range 93 West within the area commonly known as the Grass Mesa area' The intended use of the facility will be to gather produced water by trucking the water from surrounding wells i"to u ""*uy, centr-alized gathering tank.The water will then be transferred, via and existing 4 inch pipeline ti tt " Benzel water Storage & Evaporation Facility. produced water from the Grass Mesa area is currently trucked out of the area to other' existing, water storage facilities such as the Benzel and Hunter Mesa facilities' EnCana's intentions are to mirimize the distance these trucks are currently traveling resulting in reduced truck traffic on public and county roads. Trucks will offload the produced water into the proposed wate6to*g" tanlq located on the M34 well pad, rather than hauling the water offthe *"* *d r.r.ri more miles to the other facilities. The projectedreductions are identified in more detail in the *Impact Statement" section of this packet' The proposed facility will allow for year ro,roa operationsdue to the potential elimination of truck hauls during winter condiiions. The reduction of truck haul distances will significantly r"O,r". Argitire dust emissions resulting in improved air quality as well as reiuced tiaUitity of potential truck spills or accidents. The water storage facility will consist of one (l) 400 barrel steel tank, equipped with on- location piping fo. ootouOirg water tom tne transport trucks' The tank will be installed within approved containmerit to meet the SPCC and SWMP plans' The tank will be painted to match tn" r,rrro*aiog terrain in order to minimi-J visual impacts' Piping will be installed to connect the tank to an existing 4 inch steel,pipeling y{"h terminates at the Benzel Water Storage & Evaporation Faciliff located in Section 26, Township 6 South and Range ql WeJ]Any hy&ocar59* *otd*ud within the produced water will be separated at the Se;J iu"ifity resulting in eliminating.the need for hydrocmbon separation "qoipm"nt *a ,to*ge tanks"at the M34 facitity' Due to the elevation of the M34 locatioo * **p*ud to tf,e elevation of the BenzelFacility, no pumps.will be required at the p.opor"o facility thusgliminating any concel,IH regarding noise or vibrations. Tfre prldo"ed water will have ttre ability to gravity flow to the Benzel Facility. No other above ground appurtenances or buildings is planned for this project' Operations of the facility will b€ seven days per week, year round, with all offloading of trucks being r"rt iciud to aay [ght hours.

Physical and economic considerations such as horsepower, pipe availability, fuel gas costs and future expansion may dictate different sizing criteria. Summer or winter gas flowing temperatures and ambient temperatures will be used depending on the basic purpose of the mainline, i.e., winter peak day requirements verses year-round transportation for others, etc. 3.2.3 Branchline Sizing Criteria Branchlines are sized to flow peak hour loads. A specific psi/mile pressure drop criterion is not used. The difference between the available pressure at the mainline tap and the required meter facility inlet pressure will be used, resulting in pressure drop rates up to 20 psi/mile. Pipe sized down to 2" nominal pipe size may be used. 3.2.4 Gathering Line Sizing Criteria Gathering lines are designed for a 5 to 10 psilmile pressure drop, with a minimum nominal pipe size of 4". Physical and economic considerations such as horsepower and pipe availability, fuel gas costs and future expansion may dictate different sizing criteria. WAGON WHEEL CONSULTING CARBON STEEL PIPELINES 4. ROUTE SELECTION 4.1 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.t.3 4.1.4 4.1.5 4.1.6 ENGINEERING STANDARDS The route should be the most direct line between accessible starting and terminal points of the pipeline. Exceptions to this may be made for items such as rivers, work areas, rough terrain, artnaeological and environmenial considerations, towns or populated areas, land use, power lines, roads, railroads and related facilities' Rivers and ravines should be crossed at right angles and in a straight run of the river. Rough terrain, wet land and fault zone crossings should be minimized. Road and railroad crossings should be minimized. Areas with a high potential for encroachment should be avoided Areas with high potential for requiring condemnation to obtain right-or-way should be avoided. The alternative of routing the pipeline in and along a public road or railroad right-or-way should be evaluated. 4.1.7 pipelines should not be routed parallel and adjacent to power lines where reasonable alternatives are available. The start and termination of the pipeline and preliminary route may be determined by using USGS maps. Route information accuracy ."quir"r field reconnaissance and/or the use of aerial photography. After preliminary determination of the route, an ownership search and preliminary survey should be made to determine actual conditions along the route. Based on the survey and related information, the route should be finalized and resurveyed as required. Property plats, permits and the construction drawings may then be prepared. s. NGHT-OF-WAY (RO\\r) 5.1 permanent ROW widths should be a strip of land 50 feet in width for a single pipeline. ln addition to the permanent ROW, temporary additional work space may be necessary for larger line sizes, at road crossings, river crossings, and areas with side slopes. 5.2 Any conditions or restrictions contained in the easement must be incorporated in the design and construction of the line. 5.3 The granting of a sales meter (farm tap) as a condition of the easement is discouraged. 6. PERMITS 6.1 Environmental permits may be required for a variety of reasons. The Environmental Departrnent shall be consulted relative to any permit requirements. 6.2 Use permits are normally required when the pipeline crosses federal land, state land, state and county highways, railroads and waterways.

Alaccurate survey of the river should be made, noting caving banks' sand bars' and related items in order to arrive at the best location and determine depth below the bottom of the channel. Economic and engineering evaluations will need to be completed to determine the design of the crossing and method of construction to use' For major pipeline systems, consideration should be given to a dual crossing which would providi u ur"top should failure or damage occur to one ofthe crossings. Foreign Pipeline Crossings The specific requirements for foreign pipeline crossings are normally set by the owner or operator of the foreign line.

(Company) and its contractors (Contractor) t9 ensure ttrat fue prevention and'zuppiessioniechniques are cat iea ou in accordance with federal, state, and local iegulations. Measgres identified in tlis plan apply to work within the project area defined as the riiht-of-way (RO1V), accass roads, all-worb and storage areas, and other areas used during construction of the project. 2. PURPOSE The risk of fire danger during pipeline construction is related to smoking refueling activities, operating vehicles ana otnei equipment off roadwayq welding activities and the use of fl-ammable liquids. During pipeline-operdion, risk of fire is primarily from unauthorized entry onto the ROW. During -muioteouoce operations, risk of fue is from vehicles and pipeline maintenance activities that require welding. This plan establishes standards and practices that will minimize the risk of fire danger and' in "ur. of fit", provide for immediate zuppression. 3. RESPONSIBILITIESA}IDCOORDINATION This plan will be implemented by the Company and the Contractor on the project. The Cornpany and the Contractor have the responsibility for providing all necessary flre-fighting equipment on the project site to their respective employees, and operating under the requirements of this plan Prior io construction" thi Company will contact the appropriate authorities to establish communications, obtain permits (if applicable), and/or fulfill other obligations as directed by fire control 4uthorities. In addition to the above, the Company will: o Ensure that preventiorl detection, pre-suppression, and suppression activities are in accordance widr tnis fire plan and federal, state and county laws, ordinanceq and regulations pertaining to fire. o Accompany agency representativgs on fire tool and equipment inspections and take corrective action upon notification of any fire protection requirements that are not in compliance; and The fire prevention and suppression measures described in this plan will be in effect from June 1 to the eod of construction. These dates may change by advance written notice by fire control authorities. However, required tools. and equipment will be kept in serviceable condition and be immediately available for fire suppression at all times.

INTRODUCTION This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared for various oil and gas filling, completion and producing locations within the field provided above in order to identiff Best Management Practices (8N,1P0 which will be implemented to meet the terms and conditions of the Colorado Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Conskuction Activity. The SWMP has been prepared in accordance with good engineering, hydrologic, and pollution control practices, and is designed to constitute compliance with Best Available Tecbnotogy CBAT) and Best Conventional Technology @CT), as mandated under the Federal Clean Water Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as well as rules and regulations promulgated by the Colorado Deparbnent of Public Health and Environment (CDPIIE); This SWMP is intended to prevent or minimize the negative impact of soil erosion on the water quality of tributary strearns (U.S. waters) and their upgradient water sheds by developing effective engineering design and construction practices. Under state and federal laws, a SWMP is now required for new construction sites that represent a surface area disturbance greater than 1 acre (43,560 f. PROJECT DESCRIPTION EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. is conskucting or has conskucted various facilities (See Appendix A) associated with oil & natural gas well drilling, completion and production. The general construction sequence for each facility will consist or has consisted of the following: . Clear vegetation and establish perimeter stormwater conkol; e Remove and stockpile topsoil , grade and compact the project areas level, and clear and grade right-of-way; o Excavate reserye pit, and/or ROW; o Move in fuilling or consffuction equipment; o Remove all equipment and move in completion equipment to complete well; c Remove all completion equipment and install semi-permaneni produciion equipment; and . Re-seed./reclaim the remaining disturbed area with uniforrn vegetative cover to at least 70% of pre-disturbance levels, (-) o o o The total area ofsurface dishrbance for each facilify ranges from 1-5 acres. There are no wetland acreage in the area of the Facilities covered under this SWMP. The runoff coefficients for the locations within project area are expected to vary between 0,10 to 0.30 and aro not expected to change significantly following construction. The project areas ranged from flat unimproved rangeland to mountainous areas with steep slopes. The most corlmon substances that could be spilled within the project area are: 1) fuel and lubricants for consfuction equipment and vehicles; 2) water or gel based frac fluids (surfactant, friction reducet, acid, potassiurn chloride) used during cornpletion; 3) produced water; and 4) produced crude oiVcondensate. No non-stonn water components of stonn water discharge such as irrigation retum flows or spring discharge are anticipated. The potential receiving water body for surface water drainage from the various facilities will be the Colorado River located approximately 4 miles norttr of the center of the field. SITE MAPS A topographic map of the project area showing the locations of the facilities covercd under this plan is presented as Figure 1. I.o o Best Management Practices for storm water Management Erosion and Sediment Controls Erosion control will be accompiished through a combination of construction techniques, vegetation, and structural features. l. Structural Practices The following are structural site management practices, which will minimize erosion and sediment transport. a. To minimize disturbance associated with installation of a facility, level and gently sloping terrain outside the project area will not be graded, except where reasonable for conskuction equipment stability and fire safety. b. Silt barriers (e.g. brush dams, rock filter dikes, silt fences, hay bales, or water bars) will be installed as needed on down-gradient portious of the project area' c. Side hill cuts will be kept to a minimum to protect local resources while providing a safe and stable plano for the efficient and safe use of equipment. Where conditions warrant, erosiou conkol structures such as berms, water bars, diversion or collection channels, terraces, or culverts will be constucted to divert water away from the prgect area and to reduce soil erosion along and adjoining areas disturbed ddring construction. In areas of steep slopes that are not annually cultivated, water bars or runoff diversions, will be installe,rl as indicated in Table 1. The water bars will begrn and end in undisturbed ground at aZYo slope. Culverts may be installed at a grade ranFng from 2-5 percent. Inlet protection may include inlet aprons and rock a::noring around the culvert perimeter while below grade inlet sumpr rouy be installed to enhance deposition. Outfall protection may include the use of a rock armored splash pad to slow water. Table I Spacing for Erosion Conhol Stuctures 200 d. Slope s-ts% t6-30% 30+ % Diversion Spacine (Feet) 300 100 o 2. Implementation of Structural Practices a. Construction sites may utilize vegetative filters, brush dams, rock fi.lter dikes, silt fences, straw bale dikes, water bars, or equivalent sediment conhols installed so as to protect down slope surface waters, wetlands and roads from sediment flow due to runoff from a stomr event. All grade surfaces, walls, dams and stuctures, vegetation, erosion and sediment contol measures and other protective devices used for erosion control will be maintained, re,paired and restored as appropriate. All erosion control structures will be inspected at least every 14 days before irnplementation of the reclamation phase and within 24 hours after a storm event of 1.0 inch or more. Under normal circumstances, deficiencies will be repaired in a timely rrarmer. The designated Inspector will maintain documentation of inspections, findings and corrective actions. Site Preparation a. Existing coyor will be removed only where necessary for the operation of equipment. In general, vegetation will be cut off neax ground level leaving the root system intact. Cuttings may be stacked into a brush darn, distributed along the contour across reclaimed areas during reclamation or disposed of as directed by the landowner/age'ncy representative. b. Trees and large shrubs that are not cleared from the site will be protected from damage during conskuction by avoiding them with equipment. For example, bulldozers will maintain their blades in a raised position except for areas designated for clearing or to smooth out sharp breaks in relief. c. Grading outside the project area will be done only when necessary for the safe operation of equipment and for fue protection. d. Trees will be cut or trirnmed only to facilitate clearing, grading, and safe installation. Excavation a. Excavated materials will be stored next to the excavation to protect the rraterial from vehicular and equipment kaffic. As required by the COGCC Reclarnation Regulations all excavation operations on cropland shall separate and store the various A, B, and C soil horizons, b. Excavation in sensitive areas may be conducted according to special lsshniques as sp ecifi ed by the landowner/agency representative. c. Excavated surface materials will be utilized as backfill when practicable. An exceptidn may be some rock excavated by blasting. [n these areas, some select backfill may be b. c. 3. Io 4. o required to protect the project area. Excess rock may be pushed into rock fi|ter dikes, used in energy dissipation zones below culverts, constructed into rock check dams wittrin grassed swales, dishibuted over a portion of the project area or diqposed of off- site. All cuts made in steep rolling tenain during construction will be regraded and contoured to blend into the adjoining landscape and to reestablish the natural drainage pattems. Materials that are unsuitable for use as backfill or excess backfill material will be disposed at approved locations. 5. Streams and IVetlands a. During constuction near perennial steams, lakes or wetlands, sedimentation (detention) f6sins, sfaw bales, or fabric filters may be constructed to preverrt suspended sediments from reaching downgradient watercourses, steams, lakes or wetlands. b. Disturbance of riparian and wetland areas will be kept to the minimum needed for construction and installation. The first 1.0 feet of topsoil from wetlands wiU be salvaged and redistibuted over the trench as quickly as reasonably possible following installation of the pipeline. The seeds, roots, rhizomes, tubers; and bulbs present in the topsoil will enhance and help speed up reclarnation of weflands disturbed by construction. Where appropriate, water bars or sediment filters, such as staked straw bales or silt fences, will be constructed adjacent to the crossings to reduce potential sedimentation in sheams or wetlands. Trenching will cross dry streams. Small flowing streams will be crossed by fluming or tuenching with a downstream silt barrier to reduce downstearn sedi m entation. Materials Handling and Spill Prevention Hazardous materials and pekoleum products to be used in conskuction of the Facility are limited to fuel and lubricants for construction equipment and vehicles; small quantities of paints and solvents; water or gel based frac fluids (surfactant, friction reducer, acid, potassium chloride) using during completion; produced water; and, crude oiVcondensate. Refueling and lubrication of vehicles will be conducted a minimum of 100 feet back from flowing sheams and wetlands. Spills witl be promptly cleaned up and contaminated materials hauled off-site and disposed oflrecycled properly. Quantities of materials on site will be timited to "as-needed" for the immediate operations underway. d. 1 a d. o Other Controls All wastes from materials imported to the construction site are to be removed for disposaVrecycling to an appropriate licensed disposaVrecycling facility, including sanitary sewage facilities (typically portable). No wastes of irnported materials shall be buried, dumped, or discharged to waters of the State. There axe uo other pollutant sources from areas other than constuction areas expected. To prevent hacking of sediment onto public roads, the proposed facilities shall have, at a minimum, compacted ingress and egress areas adjacent to public roads. Other means such as using gravel, scoria, or cattle guards may be utilized if appropriate. Maintenance Maintenance will be the responsibilify of the Company. Maintenance will be performed on an as-needed basis based upon the results of inspections conducted at the site. INSPECTION lnspections will be conducted at least every 14 calendar days and within 24-hours of any precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inch during construction and prior to initiating recla:nation. After reclamation has been initiated inspections will be conducted at least every 30-calendar days and vrithin 24-hours of any precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inches until uniform vegetative coYer of at least 70% of pre-disturbance levols has been achieved. Inspections will be documerted and these records kept on file for three years following recla:rration. All negative inspection results rvill be corrected as soon as practicable. FINAL STABILIZATION AND LONC,-TERM STORM WATER I\{ANAGEMENT 1. Reclamation a. Unless otherwise directed by the landowner or the jurisdictional authority, rocks, cut vegetation and other surface material temporarily stockpiled for constuction will be redistributed back across non-fenced portions of the project area following constuction. b. Dishubed areas will be seeded using seed mixes appropriate to the location. Local soil conservation authorities with the U.S, Natural Resources Conservation Service, surface owners and/or recla:nation conhactors familiar with the area may be consulted regarding the correct seed mix to be utilized. i o On terrain where drill seeding is appropriate, seed may be planted using a drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting. The seed mix will be evenly and wriformly planted over the dishrbed area. Drilling will be used where topography and soil conditions allow operation of equipment to meet the seeding requirements of the species being planted. Broadcast seeding will occur on steep terrain and on areas such as where the cut vegetation and rocks were redistributed over the right-of-way. Seeding will be done when seasonal or weathgr conditions are most favorable according to schedules identified by the jurisdictional authority, reclamation contractor, or landowner. Whenever possible, seeding will be timed to take advantage of moisture, such as early spring or late fall to benefit from winter procipitation. Seed mixes will be planted in the arnount specified in pounds of pure live seed/acre, where recossary. There will be no primary or secondary noxious weeds in the seed rnix. g. The reestablishment of vegetative cover as well as watershed stabilization measures will be scheduled during the working season and before the succeeding winter. In any case, revegetation teatments will be accomplished as soon as practical following completion of facility construction. h. In ge,neral, the applicable porti6ns of the project area will not be mulched during reclamation and revegetation. Mulch will only be applied at the request of the jurisdictional authority in areas where the cut vegetation and rocks are not rediskibuted over the disturbed area. (The cut vegetation and rocks will act like mulch in the areas where they are applied.) Where straw or hay mulch is requeste4 the mulch will be applied and crimped into the soil. i. The need for fertilizers will be determined in conjunction with the jurisdictional authority. If fertilization is necessary, the rates of application will be based on site- specific requtements of the soil. 2, Post-Construction Strucfural Measures Permanent water bars will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at wetland and steari crossing boundaries, Trench plugs will be installed on steep slopes according to Table I and at wetland and stream crossing bouadaries= A-fter restoration work is complete, required repairs to vegetatioq erosion, and sediment conkol structures will be completed along with routine scheduled pipeline inspections and/or in response to other notification d. o -\ :ta o STATE OF COLOIUDO Bill Owens,'Governor Jane t.

It is beli*ed that afully imPlemented Stormwotq Management Ptan (SWMP) should be sufi,cient to coitrol water tquality impact. ,, The permit requires d,bchargers to control and eliminate the sources of pollutants in stormwater through the developmmt and implanentation of a SWMP, the plan must include Best Management Practices @ifs1, whichwill includepollution praention and source reduction measures. This wilt constitute BAT and BCT and should achia,e compliance with water quality standards, The narrative permit requirements include prohibitions against discharga of non-stormwater (e.g., process water). Refer to Part LC.2 of the permit In addition, as a condition of this permit, the p*mittee is required to pay the annual fee as descibed in the Water Quality Control Act. Failure to submit the required fee when due and payabte is a violation oJ the permit and will resuh in enforcement action as dbcussed below, Permiltees will be billed for the initial permit fee within a few weelcr of permit issaance. Some coruttttction actiitiu may be required to comply with a Qualifying Local Program in place of meeting several of the specifi'c requiranenx in thb permil. .Sirat covered by a Quatifying Local Program may not be requiricl to submit an application for coverage or a notice of inactivation and may not be required to pay the annual fee. iefer to Section VII.A of the Rationalelorfurther idormation C.

Inc. (Company) and its construction codractors (Contractor) for topsoil restoration, reseedin& planting noxious weed control and reclamation monitoring. 1.I PURPOSE The pulpose of this plan is to describe in tert and on drawings the prescribed methods for topsoil replacement, reseeding planting noxious weed control, and monitoring for reclamation success. This plan is aqilicab.te to the constnrction on right-of-way (ROIV) and extra workspace locations. 1.2 GOALS AND OBJECTTVES The short-term goals of reclamation are to control erosion and sedimentation and to minimize impacts to adjacent land uses. Properly executed construction practices and optimum scheduling will mitigate short-term impacts. Long term goals include controlling erosion and sedimentation; proltecting water resources and soils; limiting the introduction and spread of noxious weeds; and returning disffibed arcas to pre-existing condition Monitoring during construction and post-construction will ensure that these goals are achieved. 1.3 EI.IVIRONMENTALTRAINING The Company will conduct savironmental. training for all project personnel. Training will include topsoil protection measures and methods for controlling the spread of noxious weeds (e.g., maintaining clean vehi.cles and equipment). 1.4 RELATED PLANS / MAPS The following documents include additic,nal requirements specifically related to the reclamation ofthe ROW and ancillary areasi: t Soil Conservatio4 Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan t Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan a Hazardous Materials Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeazure Plan t Alignment Sheets I.5 RESPONSIBILITIES Responsibilities are detailed below: 1.5.1 The Company The Company will be responsible for ensuring that the Contractor meets the standards defined in this plan to rL'store all disturbed areas to pre-construction conditions and to ensure long-term monitoring of restoration success. The Company will take remedial actions' as necessary to restore and maintain a stable vegetative cover on the ROW. The,Company will provide the Contractor with the appropriate blended seed mixes developed through consultation with agenoy representatives and landowners o io o o 1.5.2 The Contractor The pipeline Contractor will be responsible for post-construction re-seeding of the ROW extra workspaces, and oflROW ancillary sites following their construction activities. Reclamation will be conducted according to this plan as specified for the Contractor. 1.5.3 The Environmental Inspector The Environmental Inspector will have the responsibility to ensure field activities are perforrned in accordance with this reclamation plan by the Confractor and in compliance with all other pennits and agreements. The Environmental Inspector witl have the authority to make sit+specific field ghanges in certain reclamation procedures within the guidelines of this plan in consultaiion with the landowner orBLM 2. RECLAMATIONPROCESS The following sections outline the pre-construction planning and sequential steps for restoring the ROW and extra workspaces following installation of the pipe ani backfilling of the trenci However, one of the most important factors relating to succesiful reclamation tuk.r place duringtfe liitial ggdinq of the ROw. Topsoil salvaga requirements and merhods are discussed in detail in the Soil Conservatio4 Sedimentatioo, aod Erosion Control plan. 2.1 RECLAMATION ACITWTIES The Env[onm--e-ntal _Inspectors with the BLM Soil Conservation Authority and Landowners will work to determine depth of topsoil *"lrugg appropriate seed mixis, and seeding methods. 2.2 ROCK DISPOSAL 'Excess rock' is defined as all rock that cannot be returned to the existing rock profile inthe trench or graded cutg or is not needed to restore the ROW surface to a bndition comparable to that !*d adjacent to the ROW. This does not include tailings from lotiog operations' (NOIE* Absolutely no toilingsfrom rhe proposed boring areas will be spread or stored onfederal lmd) Excess rock will U" randonly distributed across the ROW, piled or windrowed to create or enhance wildlife habitat, oi arranged to block use of the ROW by motor vehicles. If not practical the Contractor will ,r*Ju, other excessrock from the ROW and haul it to an apprwed disposal site. The Company will coordinate with landowners or the BLM regarding the methods of disposal. 2.3 FINAL CLEANI.JP V/ithin 30 days after backfilling the trench, the Contractor witl make every efficrt tocomplete final cleanup and installation of pennanent erosion control structures. If circumstances prevent achieving cleanup withia 60 days on fbderal lands, the Companywill apply for a variance from the BLM ,!!o tt o The ROW and other project-related areas where soil has been disturbed will be restored as close to preorcavation gradeq compaction, and other conditions as possiblg unless a specifig exemption has been granted by the landowner or BLM No solid waste, trasb, or vegetative mafter will be buried on the ROW. Final compaction of disturbed areas will be returned to approximate pro.construction conditions. In cases where this is not possible, 0.g., rt".p rlop.r o, ,o.ky areas wh€retull- Row width ppsoil {r.e. ** *t r.quiid*rpic,tion witt not ;, more than 10 percent from adjacent oflROW conditions. The Company will test soil compaction toa dgnt| of 18 -inches, if possiblg at regular intervals using-haud-held penetrometers orequivalent testing equipment and procedures. The Contractor will take remedial action as directed by the Company at all locations 1'here compaction is not within the previously described fO.irercent fimit. TheContractor will decompact excessively compacted-areas wilh a pa.apfow, .,Vibrashank,, or^-other deep tillage irnFlement. In areas where topsoil has bee" sefoegated, the zubsoilwill be decompacted priorto re-spreading the topsoil ! ryry *th a pre-existing- rocky s.rrface material, the Contractor will spread rock overthe RO\{ to maintain a zurf-ace appearance similar to that of adjacent *Autrt"O terraiaSpreading rock on the surface will not be used as a methoil io dispose of excess rockorcept as described in Section 2.2.

Topsoil riill not be handled during ex-cessively *"f or frozenconditions as determined by thi Environmentur o, conrt u"tioi Inspector.' Topsoil will be redistributed as close to original salvage depths as possible. Salvagemethods are discussed in Spction 2.2 of ti. Soit Coiservation, Sedimentatio4 andErosion Control Plan Segregation of subsoil and topsoit *l u. maintained throughout lnal c-leanup procedures. The Contractor will be r"qpo*ibt" for replacement of lost ordegraded (mixed) topsoil with topsoil imported tom a company-approved and weed-freesource. Additional erosion control and soil stabilization will be required in areas adjacent to orwithin drainages. See the Soil Conservation, Sedimentatioq and Erosion Control plan and the Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan for additional information. : t o t a /- o o 2,5 MSCELLA].{EOUSAGRICULTII]RALFEATTJRES All irrigation ditches, drain tiles, cattle guards, fences, and artificiat and natural livestock/wildlife water sources will be maintained and repaired to at least pr+ constru'ction conditions. Temporary m@sures will be provided, as agreed with the landowner or BLlvI, for any of these facilities that are disrup,ted during the construction or reclamation process. All drain tiles crossed by the trench line will be located and restored to the satisfaction of the landowner. Since the exact location or even ttre oristence of drainage system may not be known prior to orcavation, all drain tiles unearthed during excavation Uy the Contractor will be reported to the Company in uniting. 2-6 SEEDBM PREPARATION The Contractor will scarifr, til[ or harrow the seedbed to a depth of 3 to 4 inches or as determined by the Environmental Inspector prior to seeding where needed to improve revegetation poteffial. 'Those sites where seedbed preparation is not practical (e.g., steep slopes, rocky areas, etc.) will be left with adequate roughn"ri fono*iog-topsoil placement to create micrc-environme[ts for seed germination and growth, and io reduce the potential for soil movement. 2.7 SOIL SUPPLEMENTS Generally, fertilizer will not be used rrnlsss requested by the landowner or recommeded by either the Environmental Inspector or a soil coruervation authority. At this timg no areas have been identified that require fertilizer. 2.8 RE\IEGETATION The Contractor will be responsible for seeding the ROW and oflROW ancillary sites usin-g lompany-erpplied seed mixes, appropriate seeding methodq and approved application rates. The seeding requirements-and scheduling olreclamation activi-ties will be determined in coordination with BIlvI, Soil Conservation eutlority or the appropriate landoumer 2.8.1 Species Selection and Sources Selection of grass and shrub species for revegetation will be based on pre- construction community composition and soil types as well as establishment potentia[ soil.stabilizing qualities, commerciat avaitabitrty of regional varieties, post-construction land use objectives, and agency recommendations. Native species will be utilized to ttre extent possible unteis non-natives are specifically requested by a private landowner or land managing agency. Projea seed wiil bL purchased from the blended by qualified producers and dealers. Certified weed-free or "blue-tagged" seed will be purchased for use on theproject, but this status is only available for those native species with named varieties. All other seed will be free of primary noxious weeds. EnCana Gathering Servicel (U.S.A) Inc., will zubmit the seed for independent testing prior to its use. The Contractor will be responsible for providing all seed tags t6 the Environmental or construction Inspectoi at the end oieach da]. ! toI 'o On BLM the following seed mix will be used: Pounds pure iive seed (PLS/Acre Rocky Mountain Penstemon Arrowleaf Balsamroot Streambank Wheatgrass Western Wheatgrass Thiclspike Wheatgrass. Sandberg Bluegrass Snowberry Four-wing Saltbush Serviceberry Big Sagebrush 0.25 0.25 2.5 2.5 2.5 2.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 12.0lbs PLS/Acre 'o Total 2.8.2 Seed A-pplication Rates and Viability Species ratios and Pure Live Seed (PLS) application rates will be developed in conzultation with landowners, agency specialists, and other regional revegetation consultants. Seeding rates will be determined in PLS pounds per acre and seeds per square.foot based on drilled application rates. Broadcast seeding rates will be nnice the drill rate. Seed will be used within 12 months of testing to aszure seed viability. If additional seeding is required in the year following construction, additional viability test will be conducted to detennine any need for adjustment of application rates. The Contractor will seed wetlands, when necessary as determined by the Environmental Inspector and BLM Successful recolonization by wetland species _ is generally related to effective topsoil salvage methods and sources of seed and rhizomes in adjacent areas. Streambanks will be seeded immediately upon completion of final cleanup as described in the Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan and independent of other reclamation activities. 2.8.3 Seeding Methods and.Procedures The Contractor will employ broadcast or drill seeding as determined in the field by the Company. Seeding activities will be contingent upon weather and soil conditions, and subject to evaluation by the Environmental Inspector. Seeding will not be permitted if there is more than2 inches of snow on the ground unless approved by the Environmental Inspector and BLM field representative. Where approved by the landowner or land managing agency, the Contractor will randomly distribute any windrowed shrubs or other remaining vegetation debris over the Row by hand or light equipment so as not to disturb the seedbed. 2.8.3.1Drill Seeding Drill seeding will be employed wherever soil characteristics and slope allow effective operation of a range drill. Drill seeding will be performid perpendicular to the slope unless otherwise direaed by the Environmental Inspector and BLM field representative. The drill will have a seed release mechanism suffrcient to allow seeds of various sizes and densities to be planted at the proper seeding depth. 2.8.3.LBroadcast Seeding Broadcast seeding will be employed in all areas where drill seeding cannot be performed. Seed witl be applied using manually operated cyclone- bucket spreaders, mechanical spreaders, blowers, or hydroseeders. Seed will be uniforrrly broadcast over disturbed areas. rmmediately after broadcasting, the seed will be uniformly raked, chained, harrowed, or cultipacked to incorporate seed to a zufficient seeding depth. ff it is not possible to cover the seed with mechanical methods, the seeding rates will be doubled. PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL Permanent erosion control methods will be utilized as needed for stabilization of slopes and soils as described in the Soil Conservation, Sddimentatioq and Erosion Control Plan. Permanent erosion control measures will be installed within 30 days after the trench is baclcfrlled to aid in site stabilization wherever required. 3. NO)ilOUS WEED CONTROL Noxious weeds are spread through the dispersal of seeds or the transport of propagative plant parts. It is therefore important to reduce the sources of seed and viable plant material prior to construction disturbance and to prevent its transport or importation during construction. The combination of methods described below will be employed to minimize the potential for expansion of noxious weed populations via the pipeline route. 3.1 Weed Control Measures During Construction The Company will require that all Contractor vehicles and equipment arrive at the work site clean, to'prevent the importation of noxious weeds from a previous work site. Only after the Environmental Inspector has determined it to be free of soil debris, or other potential sour@s of noxious weeds will any piece of equipment be allowed initial transport or access to the ROW. 4. WORKER SAFETY AND SPILL REPORTING AII contracted herbicide conffactors will obtain and have readily available copies of the appropriate application permits and the Environmental Protection Agency Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the herbicides being used. All reasonable precautions will be taken to avoid spilling herbicides. However, a spill kit will be carried in all herbicide applicator's vehicles to facilitate quick and effective response to a spill, should one occur. Herbicide spills will be reported in accordance with the requirements described in the project's Flazardous Material Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan. , o o 2.8.3.2 Broadcast Seeding Broadcast seeding will be employed in all areas where dritl seeding cannot be performed. seed qrill bC applied using manually operated Iyclone. ury.t1 spreaders, mechanical spreaders, blowers, or -hydroseeders. se€dwill be uniformly broadcast over disturbed arlas. Immediately after brg4calting; the seed will be uniformly rakeq chained, harrowed or orltipacked to incorporate seed to a zuffitied seeding depth If it is not possible to cover the seed with mechanical methods, tnr seeOing rates will be doubled. 2.9 PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL Permanent erosion control methods will be utilized as needed for stabilization of slopesand soils as described in the SoiI Conservation, Sedimentatio4 and niorio, Control plan. Permanent erosion control measures will be installed within':O aays after the trerch isbactfilled to aid in site stabilization wherever requird 3. NO)OOUS WEED CONTROL Noxious weeds are spread through the dispersal of seeds or the transport of propagative plantparts. It is therefore important to reduce the soures of seed and viabie ptanf mat#d prifr toconstruction dish[balce and to prwent its transport or importation during construction Thecombination of methods described belgw will be employed.to mi'imire the potential for . oryansion ofnoxious weed poptrlations via the pipeline ,ort . 3.1 Weed Control Measures During Construction T" 9o-pany will ,"q,rir-" that aII Contractor vehicles and equipment arrive at the worksite clean, to prevefr the importation of noxious weeds fom a previous work site.

RECLAMATION SC}IEDIJLE AND DOCUMENTATION Reclamation activities will be determined io part by construction schedules and seasonal climatic conditions. Seeding and planting will be coordinated with other reclamation activities to occur as soon after sieedbed preparation as possible. Ideally, the Contractor will complete permanent reclamation activities prior to the end of the [rpical fall planting sessoo (September lst -October 31st). Upon completion of reclamation, the Company's Conshuction Inspector, Environmental Inspector, and Land Ageotq and BLM representatives will perform a final inspoction of tho ROW and ancillary facilities to verifr that pre,constnrction commitments have bsen satisfied.

Inc, (Company) and its contractors (Contractor) to reduce the risks associated with the use, storage, transportation, production, and disposal of hazardous materials (including hazardous substances and wastes) and petroleum products. In addition, this plan outlines the rJquired spill prevention and response (cleanup) procedures for the project, The HAZMAT Plan prepared as part of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as required by the project's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (1{PDES) permit for stormwater discharges. This plan was prepared in accordance with good engineering piactices. In general, hazardous materials and clean-up equipment will be stored at the construction yard. Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will be maintained at the Contractor's yard(s) throughout the construction period. The Contractor will prepare and have the Company review and approv e a HAZMAT plan prior to any storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products. The company will have l0 days to review submitted plans. 1.I PURPOSE OF PLAN The purpose.of this plan is to provide a description of hazardous materials management, spill prevention, and spill response/cleanup measu.es associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. In addition this plan provides Contractors with requirements and guidance for the creation of their o*r, UAZtvtAT plan. 1.2 OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN'S COMPONENTS This plan includes the following components: (l) an introduction; (2) a description of thespill prevention procedures related to vehicle refueling and 'servicing and the transportation, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials; (3) guideline fortevelopingthe Contractor's HAZMAT Plan; (4) a description of the'physical and p.o."d-*J methods for spill control and cleanup; and (5) an overview of the notification and documentation procedures to be followed in the event of a spill. 1.3 PLANS AND MAPS RELATED TO THE HAZMAT PLAN Construction Alignment Sheets: These maps show the locations of drainages, waterbodies (defined as flowing streams and rivers), wetlands, ffid other sensiiive resource aleas. Fire Suppression and Prevention Plan: This plan details measures to be taken to reduce the risk of starting a fire, and measures to be implemented in the event a fire does occurwithin the project construction area. Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan: This plan provides detailed information on measures that will be implemented during construction to avoid and/or minimize project-related impacts to waterbodies and wetlands.

Persons responsible for handling hazardous materials for this project witl be trained in the proper use/management of the materials and will be familiar with all applicable laws, policies, procedures, and best management practices (BMP's) related to them. 2, CONTRACTOR'S GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING THE HAZMAT PLAN The following sections provide specific guidelines for the preparation of the HAZMAT Plan by Contractor. 2,1 CERTIFICATIONS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DESIGNATION OF COORDINATOR RESPONSIBLE PERSON(S) 2.1.1 Certifications Contractor will certifu that all of the information provided in the HAZMAT Plan is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge. Contractor will also certify that they are committed to implementing the HAZMAT Plan as written. As per the requirements of 40 CFR, Part 1 12, Contractor will have the HAZMAT PLAN reviewed and certified by a registered Professional Engineer. t.4 o 2.1.2 Amendments ln completing this certification, Contractor will agree to make all necessary and appropriate amendments to the plan and submit any such amendment to the Company and the appropriate county, state, and/or federal authorities within 7 days of finding an amendment is necessary. Amendments to the plan will be necessary under any of the following circumstances: 0 100 percent or more increase of a previously disclosed material, 0 any handling of a previously undisclosed hazardous material subject to inventory requirements, o a change of business address, name, or ownership. 2.1.3 Responsible Person(s) Contractor is responsible for contacting county representatives to determine county requirements for Hazardous Materials Business/\4anagement Plans. Generally counties will provide guidelines and forms for completion and submittal to the county. As required on the applicable county forms that the Contractor will obtain, Contractor will designate a primary emergency coordinator for hazardous materials management and emergency response. Two alternates will also be identified. Business, residential, and cellular or pager telephone numbers will be provided for all three persons as necessary, to allow for contact on a24-hour basis. Primary and alternate emergency coordinators will be knowledgeable of the chemicals and processes involved in Contractor's operation. They will have full access to all facilities, including locked areas, and must have the authority to commit company resources. They will also have stop work authority to prevent impacts (potential or actual) to environmental resources. 2.2 FACILITIES' DESCRIPTION AND INVENTORY OF MATEzuALS Contractor's submittals will be provided to the Environmental Inspector. The Environmental Inspector will provide submitted information to the jurisdictional agencies as appropriate. 2.2.T Site Map Contractor will complete the relevant county forms related to business information and description. The Contractor is also required to provide a site map/facility map for each construction yard indicating storage and safety precautions for hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. The Contractor's site map will, at a minimum, indicate the following: orientation and scale total land area in square feet access and egress points building and/or temporary trailers parking lots t t t 0 t r adjacent land uses (if business, indicate business name) I surrounding road, storm drains, ad waterways (including waterbodies and wetlands) t locations of hazardous materials and hazardous waste storage i underground and above ground tanks t containment or diversion structures (dikes, berms, retention ponds) o shutoffvalves and/or circuit breakers 0 location of emergency response materials and equipment t location of MSDS and HAZMAT PLAN I location of emergency assembly area o location of clean up equipment within the yard As noted in Section 3.6 - Storage of Hazardous Materials, hazardous materials will be stored only in designated staging areas 100 feet from streams (dry and wet) and wetlands (dry and wet) and equipment storage yards. Temporary pumps, diesel powered generators, etc., will be located at least 100 feet fromthe edge of streams (dry and wet), wetlands (including dry or seasonal wetlands), and other sensitive areas defined by the project's Environmental Inspectors. If storage areas cannot be located at least 100 feet from streams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space, the Contractor will also provide a sketch of where the materials will be stored in relation to the waterbody and location of clean up equipment. Include measures to be implemented for secondary containment as specified in Section 3.6.1, Physical Storage Requirements. 2.2.2 Inventory Contractor will provide a complete inventory to the Company of all hazardous substances that will be used (refer to Title 40, CFR, Parts 116 and 302). All inventory forms required by the relevant county will be provided by the Contractor as part of their HAZMAT Plan. 3, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Construction, operation, and maintenance of the project will require the use of certain potentially hazardous materials such as fuels, and herbicides. By definition, hazardous materials (substances and wastes) have the potential to pose a significant threat to human health and the environment based upon their quantity, concentration, or chemical composition. Generally, hazardous materials will be stored in the Contractor's yard and not on the right-of-way (RO). When stored, used, transported, and disposed of properly as described below, the risks associated with these materials can be reduced substantially. 3.1 OVERVIEW OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PROPOSED FOR USE The following project-specific measures pertain to all vehicle refueling and servicingactivities as well as the storage, transportation, production and disposi of hazardoui materials (substances/wastes). These measures are intended to prevent the discharge offuels, oils, gasoline, and other harmful substances to waterbodiei, groundwater aquifers, and/or other sensitive resource areas during project construction. Hazardous materials (substances) used during project construction may include solventsand other substances. In addition, petroleum pioducts such u, gurtlin., diesel fuel,lubricating oils, and hydraulic fluid will be used. Some of these materials will be used inrelatively large quantities at staging areas, in storage yards, and on the ROW to operate and maintain equipment during construction. Smaitei quantities of other materials such as: herbicides, paints, and other chemicals will be ,rr.i to control noxious weeds andfacilitate revegetation on the row, and to operate and maintain meter stations during thelife of the project. Additional materials will be necessary at other locations along the ROW (e.g., river crossing, hydrostatic test stations) and at off-ROW construction yards. Listings of other hazardous materials that will be used during construction, operation, and maintenance of the project in other locations will be identified on the Contractor's Hazardous SubstancesInventory form included in Attachment l. The Company will compile all Contractor,ssubmittals and update Attachment I prior to start of construction. The Company willupdate the inventory of hazardous materials used/stored on the project as neededthroughout the life of the project. This information will be providedto"the appropriateregulatory agencies as required (i.e., the BLM requires reporting of all hazardousmaterials as defined by CERCLA, RCRA, and the bnvironmental protection Agency(EPA). A copy of the compiled Attachment 1 will be provided to the BLM)., 3.2 TRAINING All project personnel will be required to receive basic spill prevention training. TheCompany is required to maintain a record of those workers who have receivedenvironmental training and ensure that only trained employees are allowed to work on theproject. In addition all Contractor persorurel who will be involved with the transportation and storage of fuels or hazardous substances, equipment maintenance, and spill iesponsewill be required to attend a higher level training class given by the Contractor asdescribed in Section 5.2. 3.3 VEHICLE REFUELING AND SERVICING construction vehicles (e.g., trucks, bulrdozers, etc.) and equipment (e.g., pumps,generators, etc.) will be fueled/serviced in designated upland staging ur.u. uJ least 100feet from waterbodies and wetlands (including diy streams and dly or seasonal wetlands,refer to the stream and wetland crossing list ln the Stream Crossing and WetlandProtection Plan). If pumps, generators, etc. cannot be located at least 100 feet fromstreams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space limitations, specialprecautions (e.g., placing pumps and small refueling cans in secondary containmentstructures) will be taken to prevent the spill or releaie of hazardous maierials into thewaterway. Fueling will not occur within 200 feet of private wells or 400 feet of municipal wells. When selecting refueling areas, consideration will be given to slopes and other topographic conditions. Refueiing locations will generally be flat to minimize the chance of spilled substance reaching a waterbody. In most cases, rubber-tired vehicles will be refueled and serviced at local gas stations or equipment yards off the RO\ /. Tracked vehicles will typically be refueled and serviced by fuel/service vehicles on the ROW. Every effort will be made to minimize the threat of a fuel spill during refueling and servicing. Fuel/service vehicles will cany extra plastic, a bucket or plastic pan to catch fuel, and minimum of 20 pounds of suitable absorbent material to handle potential spills. In addition, all vehicles will be inspected for leaks prior to being brought on-site and regularly throughout the construction period. In the event that a leak(s) is found, equipment will not be allowed to operate until all leaks have been repaired. Vehicles will also be equipped with fire fighting equipment as specified in tlie Fire Prevention and Suppression Plan. Construction equipment requiring maintenance which might result in the draining or leaking of fluids will be serviced only after a 12 mlt plastic liner has been installed between the equipment and the soil. This liner must be placed in such a manner that all fluid is contained. Washing of construction vehicles (such as concrete trucks) will be allowed only in construction staging areas at least 100 feet from waterbodies and wetlands (including dry streams and dry or seasonal wetlands). Washing areas will be contained with berms or barriers to prevent migration of wastewater and./or sediments into waterbodies. Waste concrete material will be removed and properly disposed of once it has hardened. 3.4 EQUIPMENT ISPECTION AND DECONTAMINATION Prior to moving equipment onto the ROW, the Environmental Inspector will check equipment for leaks while also inspecting the equipment for weeds. AI equipment will be cleaned and weed-free prior to being moved to the ROW. Equipment contaminated from fuel or hydraulic line breaks will be cleaned with diape.s und the diapers will be disposed of properly. 3.5 TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERLA,LS Procedures for loading and transporting fuels and other hazardous materials will meet the minimum requirements established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other pertinent requirements. At all times, hazardous materials will be transported in DOT approved containers. Prior to transporting hazardous materials, appropriate shipping papers will be completed. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials will bo equipped with shovels, barriers tape,4 to 6 mil plastic bags, personal protective clothing, and-spill padsto contain a small spill should one occur during transport. In addition, vehicles transporting such materials will be properly signed (placarded) and/or marked. prior to transporting hazardous materials, vehicles will be inspected for leakage and other potential safety problems. The Contractor will ensure that vehicle drivers are properly trained to respond to and report spills, leakage, and/or accidents involving hazardous materials (see Section 5.2 of this plan). All hazardous materials used for the project will be properly containerized and labeied at all times, including during transportation. Smaller DOT approved containers will be used on-site to transport needed amounts of hazardous materials to a specific location. Transfer of materials from large to small containers will not be done by hand pouring, but will be accomplished using appropriate equipment including pumps, hoses, and safety equipment. These smaller ("service") containers will also be clearly labeled. 3.6 STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Hazardous materials will be stored only in designated staging areas 100 feet from streams (dry and wet) and wetlands (dry and wet) and equipment storage yards. Temporary pumps, diesel powered generators, etc., will be located at least 100 feet from the edge of streams (dry and wet), wetlands (including dry or seasonal wetlands), and other sensitive areas defined by the project's Environmental Inspectors. If storage areas cannot be located at least 100 feet from streams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space limitations, special precautions will be taken to prevent the spill or release of hazardous materials into the waterway. These precautions will include limiting the quantity and amount of time such materials are stored near the stream or wetland, providing secondary containment, and using trained personnel to monitor activities at the storage site. Storage of greater than 55 gallons of hazardous materials will not be permitted within 100 feet of streams or wetlands. Cleanup materials, including absorbent spill pads and plastic bags, will also be stored in these areas. Hazardous materials will not be stored in areas subject to flooding or inundation. 3.6.1 Physical Storage Requirements Security: Hazardous materials will be stored in secure areas to prevent damage, vandalism, or theft. During construction hours, hazardous materials may be stored temporarily on the ROW but ovemight storage on the ROW will be prohibited. All storage containers will remain sealed when not in use and storage areas will be secured (gated, locked, and"/or guarded) at night and/or during non- construction periods. Storage Containers: Containers will be compatible with the hazardous materials or wastes stored. If the container leaks or becomes damaged, the substance must be transferred to a container in good condition. Contractor will inspect containers at Ieast weekly to discover any leaks in the containers or the containment systems. Containers used for transportation must comply with the DOT requirements, including those in Title 49, CFR, Part 173. Secondary Containment: Secondary containment will consist of bermed or diked areas that are lined and capable of holding 110 percent of the volume of the stored material plus any potential precipitation accumulation, and will be provided for fuel and oil tanks stored on-site [e.g., in Contractor's yard(s)]. Container Management: Containers holding hazardous substances will be kept closed during transfer and storage, except when it is necessary to add or remove the substance. Incompatible Wastes: Wastes that are incompatible with other wastes will not be placed in the same container, nor in an unwashed container, that previously held an incompatible material. ignitable or Reactive Substances: Substances that may ignite or are reactive must be located at least 50 feet from the construction yard boundary. "NO SMOKING" signs will be conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste. Examples of ignitable wastes are: paint wastes, certain degreasers, thinners and solvents (petroleum distillates), epoxy resins, and adhesives. Examples of reactive wastes that may be found at construction yards include permanganate and manganese wastes from dry cell batteries. Storm Water: It may be necessary to drain accumulated storm water from within the secondary containment areas that contain the fuel storage tanks. If the storm water has been contaminated, absorbent pads or booms will be used to remove floating petroleum products. After the contamination has been removed, the storm water will be left to evaporate, if possible, otherwise it will be disposed of in an appropriate manner, Prior to disposal, the Environmental [nspector will check for sheen or other evidence of contamination. 3.6.2 Container Labeling Requirements for Hazardous Wastes Contractor will comply with the following labeling requirements for any on-site container (including tanks) used to store accumulated hazardous wastes. The containers will be labeled as required in Title 40 CFR, PaxL262 and will contain at least the following information: I chemical name (oil, diesel, etc.), o the accumulation start date and./or the date the 90-day storage period began; and, t the words "Hazardous Waste" and warning words indicating the particular hazards of the waste, such as "flammable", "corrosive", or "reactive." 3,7 DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTES Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all hazardous wastes generated during their operations are collected regularly and disposed of in accordance with all applicable laws. Contractor will determine details on the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste, and will assign responsibility to specific individuals prior to construction of the project. Hazardous wastes typically include chemicals, spent batteries, and other items. Contractor will ensure that every effort will be made to minimize the production of hazardous waste during the project including, but not limited to, minimizing the amount of hazardous materials needed for the project; using alternative non-hazardous substances when available; recycling usable materials such as paints and batteries to the maximum extent; and filtering and reusing solvents and thinners whenever possible. Any Contractor (generator) producing more than 100 kilograms per month of hazardous waste must apply for an EPA Identification Number. Contractor (generator) producing less than 100 kilograms per month are considered conditionally exempt smai quantity generators. A generator can store hazardous wastes on-site for a period ofup to 90 days without having to obtain a permit as a storage facility, or as a small quantity generator up to a total of 1000 kilograms. 3.8 CONTAMINATED CONTAINERS Containers that once held hazardous materials as products or which held hazardous wastes must be considered as potential hazardous wastes due to the residues of hazardous contents that may persist. In order for the container to be handled as non-hazardous waste, regulations require that the container be essentially empty and that certain handling requirements for the empty container be followed, including the following: I The containers must be empty, which means as much of the contents as possible have been removed so that none will pour out in any orientation and that theycontain less than I pound and require special handling because of the waste type. t If the empty containers are less than five gallons, they may be disposed of as non- hazardous solid waste or scrapped. a If the empty containers are greater than five gallons, they must be handled in the following manner: o Returned to the vendor for re-use, o Sent to a drum recycler for reconditioning, or - used or recycled on-site. 3,9 WASTE OIL FILTERS Used, metal canister oil filters can be managed as solid waste as long as they are thoroughly drained of "free flowing" oil (oil exiting drop-by-drop) is not considered 'ofree flowing"); the filters are accumulated, stored, and transfeo.d in a closed, rainproof container. Waste oil filters are best drained by puncturing and gravity draining while the filter is still hot. 3.IO USED LUBRICATING OIL Waste lubrication oil, including contaminated soil and rags, have specific requirementsfor storage, transportation, and disposal. Contractors are considered "Used Oil Generators" and as such must meet the following requirements: t Have aHAZMAT Plan certified by a registered Professional Engineer and approved by the Company. t Conduct spill prevention briefings frequently enough to assure adequate understanding by all workers. o Label all storage containers "Used Oil,,, i Ensure storage containers do not have visible leaks 3.1 1 INSPECTION AND RECORD KEEPING Contractor will inspect all storage facilities on a regular basis, but not less than weekly. The Weekly Hazardous Materials/Wastes Inspection Log in Attachment 2, will be used to record the condition of the facility. In addition to the weekly log, Contractor will maintain records for hazardous materials and hazardous wastes as required by all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and permit conditions. Record keeping requirements include: hazardous material/waste inspection log transportation documents r bills of lading I manifests o shipping papers training records release report forms spill history Environmental Inspectors will monitor, inspect, document, and report on Contractor's compliance with all hazardous materials and hazardous waste management practices. 4. POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED SITES This general procedure is included as a contingency in the event that unexpected or unknown (pre-existing) contaminated sites are encountered during the course of construction. During the course of construction, some potential exists for encountering contaminated soils, groundwater, or other materials. Should such a situation develop where there is a reasonable basis for believing that contaminated materials have been encountered (where contamination is suggested by visible indications or unusual odors), the Contractor will stop work and immediately notifu the Environmental Inspector or the Construction Supervisor. The Environmental Insplctor oi Construction Supervisor will determine next steps, including notification requirements. The Contractor may not commence work without authorization. 5. SPIL CONTROL AND COTINTERMEASURES The measures described in Section 3.0 of this plan are intended to prevent the spill of hazardous materials during normal project construction, operation and mainienance activities. However, not all potential spill situations can be reasonably foreseen or prevented. In accordance with Section 6.1 - Reporting Criteria, the Environmental Inspector will make a note of minor spills and cleanup in their daily logs. These minor spills will be documented in the daily report takenin the event of a major spill. In general, the Contractor will perform all cleanup activitiesincluding: (1) specifying in their HAZMAT PLAN specific containment and cleanupprocedures; (2) providing necessary materials and labor; ana (:) performing all reporting and documentation, as required. Notification and documentation of spills is dlscussed in gieater detail in Section 6.0 of this plan. i t a t t 5.1 PHYSICAL AND PROCEDURAL RESPONSE MEASURES Physical response actions are intended to ensure that all spills are promptly and thoroughly cleaned up. However, the first priority in responding to any spiil is personnel and public safety. Construction personnel will be notified o? .ru.rruiion procedures, including evacuation routes, to be used in event of a spill emergency. In geneial, the firstperson on the scene will: t attempt to identify the source, composition, and hazard,of the spill or stain; t isolate and stop the spill and begin clean up of the spill or stain, if possible (i.e., if itis safe). r contain spills or stains, of unknown substances, in a barrel or plastic to prevent migration if rain occurs, r properly store, and r obtain a sample of the unknown substance for laboratory analysis I Notify appropriate personnel and initiate reporting actions; and a spill if they have received proper notify the Contractor's primary or t Initiate evacuation of the area if necessary. Persons should only attempt to clean up or control training. Untrained individuals will immediately altemate emergency coordinators. If there is a spifl of an unknown substance and its identity cannot be determined byobserving obvious ciues (i.e., labels on containers), or observing obvious sources (e.g.,hydraulic lines, fuel tanks, etc.), it would not be considered safe f6r the average person tocontain the spill and obtain sample for laboratory analysis. Any spill of i, unknown substance should be treated as ahazardand should-be approached, contained and sampledby trained emergency response personnel. General Lonstruction personnel should beinstructed to contain and cleanup spills of only those substances they can safely identifyand that can be safel.f _approached (from upwind an upgradient) and handled, afteridentising the materials from a safe distance and location. In general, expert advice will be sought to properly clean up major spills (defined as anyspill over the reportable quantity for that suUstance;. For spills on land, berms will beconstructed to contain the spilled material and prevent migration of hazardous materialsor petroleum products toward waterways. Dry materiats witt not be cleaned up withwater or buried. Contaminated soils will be collected using appropriate ,nu.hinrry, stored in suitable containers, and properly disposed of in appropriarely designated areasoff-site. After contaminated soil is recovered, all machinery utilized will bedecontaminated, and recovered soil will be treated as used oil if contaminated withpetroleum products or hazardous waste is contaminated with hazardous waste,Contaminated cleanup materials (absorbent pads, etc.) and vegetation will be disposed ofin a similar manner. For major spilrs, "I.*up will be verified by sampling andlaboratory analysis. If spilled materials reach water, booms and skimmers will be used to contain and remove contaminants. Other actions will be taken as necessary to clean up contaminated waters, In areas where construction activity will cross a small slowing waterbody (25 feet or less), absorbent booms will be placed on the water surface downstream of the construction zone, prior to construction. Clean-up materials including absorbent spill pads and plastic bags will be placed on site at flowing streams and "wet" wetlands when construction is occurring within 100 feet of these areas. For river crossings over 25 feet, cleanup materials will be located on both banks. 5.1.1 On-Site Equipment The following equipment will be maintained on site with each crew using heavy equipment for use in cleanup situations. t shovels t absorbentpads/materials t personal protective gear t fire fighting equipment I medical first-aid supplies t phone list with emergency contact numbers a storage containers a communicationsequipment 5.2 EMPLOYEE SPILL EDUCATION PREVENTION/RESPONSE TRAINING AND Contractor will provide spill prevention and response training to appropriate construction and inspection personnel. Persons accountable for carrying out the procedures specified herein will be designated prior to construction and informed of their specific duties and responsibilities with respect to environmental compliance and hazatdous materials. Contractor is required to maintain a record of those workers who have received training. Note that this training is in addition to the environmental training that will be conducted by the Company. Contractor's training will be provided to inform appropriate personnel of site-specific environmental compliance procedures. At a minimum, this training will include the following: 0 a review of the Company and Contractor HAZMAT Plan, and discussion of individual responsibilities; o an overview of all regulatory requirements; r methods for the safe handling/storage of hazardous materials and petroleum products; r spill prevention procedures; t operation and location of spill control materials; inspection procedures for spill containment equipment and materials; emergency response procedures; I o o a o o a a o use of personal protective equipment (ppE); use of spill cleanup equipment; t procedures for coordinating with emergency response teams; i standard. information regarding a spill to be provided to Company for agencynotification (see Section 6.1); 6. NOTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATiON OF SPILL PROCEDURES Notifications and documentation procedures for all spills that occur during project construction,operation, or maintenance will conform to applicable federal, state, and loc-al^laws. Adherence tosuch procedures will be the top priority orr.. iritiul safety and spill response actions have beentaken' The following sections describe the notification and do.u-"ntution procedures, andshould be implemented in conjunction with the response procedures listed in other sections ofthis plan. 6.t REQUTRED NOTTFTCATTON Notification will begin as soon as possible after discovery of a release. The individualwho discovers the spill will contact a Company Construction or Environmental Inspector.If the Environmental Inspector determines ttrat the spill meets the criteria for immediateverbal notification of government agencies (see Section 6.l.3,Reporting Criteria) and/ordetermines that the spill may threaten human health or the ".rri.orr-"nt, he/she willimmediately notify Company's Field Supervisor who will make the required agencynotifications as described below.
