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. 'i"Ue facm$ will be unmanned with the
exception of tnrck unloading p"tioOt *A ury required maintenance operations' Daily site
visits by EnCana p"r*ro"t-*i1l occur to insure proper fagility oPeratr^on1-'-No sewer
system o, pot blu'*utur will be required for this project' No lighting facilities will be
installed as the fu"ilit is planned for day light unlo"ding- Maintenance of the private
roads on Grass Mesa will be implemented ti insure repair of any damages and dust
control-
Construction of the Facility is planned to commence upon approval of the SUP
application. The duration of construction is anticipated to last no more than one week'
This project is a result of EnCana's continuing commitrnent to minimizethe impact of
tfr"irfp"*tions to the general public, residents and county road ways'
IMPACT STATEMENT
The projected benefrts and reduced impacts of the proposed satellite water gathering
facility are listed below. Calculations are based upon the current and projected mileage of

3.2.2 Mainline Sizing Criteria
Mainlines are sized based on a 5 to 10 psilmile pressure drop. 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.

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. The design and installation of the pipeline must be in compliance

with the specific permit requirements. Any conditions or special requirements should be indicated on the
design drawings and in the contact documents'
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
The interior of all pipe and fittings shall be kept free of dirl liquids and foreign matter at all times'
8. PIPELINE DESIGN
8.2
8.3
8.4
Construction drawings and contract documents for pipelines subject to the requirements of 49 CFR
partlg1should be thoughtly reviewed to assure that ihe design meets the latest requirements of that
code.
The design of any facility considered exempt from Part 192 should be compared to the minimum
requirem-ents of iart tgi. A,tabulation of any deviations should be prepared and included in the
permanent documentation of that facility.
All facilities shall be designed using the applicable design factor to meet the Class Locations as
defined rrl.Part 192
Pipeline cover greater than the minimum specified by Part 192,5192'327 may be required due to
easements, p.r.itr, road and railroad "roriings,
drain tile and to provide clearance between the new
line and "iirting pipelines. Also cover Seatef than minimum requirements mfY be prudent in
agricultural "."u. arr" to deep cultivation or operating activities or in areas subject to significant wind
orwater erosion
Trenching
g.5.1 In rocky soil conditions, the hench bottom should be undercut a minimum of 4 inches and the
unde4rcut filled with fine gravel or clean soil that will provide a good bearing surface for the
PiPe.
g.5.2 The trench bottom should be flat to eliminate peak loads on the pipe and deter the pocketing of
liquids.
Crossings
8.6.1 Road and Railroad
Road and railroad crossing desigr requirements are often dictated by the permit requirements
of the governing body travingiuiisdiCtional authority. A permit must be obtained prior to
making any croising. Ur.*"i crossings are preferred and should be pursued in the permitting
pro".r-r. Also, 49 CIR pert 192, requires a lower a9s1Sn factor for uncased road and railroad
trossing in Class I and Class II locafions. If unusual loads are anticipated, a stress analysis
shall be required.

8.6.2 WaterwaY Crossings
waterways may range from small drainage canals to large navigable rivers and lakes, may of
which requi.e-i..or"ring permit from a jriisdictional authority. Wetlandsand.navigable
waterways *" ro*utt/under the jurisiiction of the U.S' Army Corps of Engineers' Small
stream crossings controued by local authorities may not require special permjts and may be
accomplishea i^rittr standard cross-country constmction methods' However' the specific
requirement should be checked with locai authorities before proceeding with the crossing
design.
The selection of the most suitable location to cross a waterway involves many considerations,
particularly if it is of sigrrificant size. ln selecting and designing the crossing' documentation
of the history g."rrg,ira hydrolory of the waterway and projection o.f no-ryible future
considerations such as bottom ,"ou[rg and movement of the channel should be competed'
Waterway "ondi
ion, at the time of coistruction will also inlluence the selection of the
crossing. 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. The minimum cover requirements arE maintained and the crossing is approved by the
op"*to.if tf,e foreign line. Cathodi:d,leads should be installed on the company line and the
io."ign pipeline wittr'ttre approval of the owner or operator of the foreign line'
Pipeline Pulling
8.8.1 The effect of pulling a number ofjoined lengths 9f piry across the ground by gripping one.end
results i, tfr. g"noultio, of a tensiie load in iire pipe. The maximum force that can be applied
to the pipe rerigth in pulling it into position should be calculated prior to pulling'
8.8.2 A pulling head should be used to attach to the leading end of the pipe' This can take the form
of a simf-le rubber pad with a steel cable wrapped around the pipe, or can be more
sophisticated in the form of a pulling head'
8.8.3 Under no circumstances should the pipe be pulled by attaching to the flange' .If flange
assemblies are installed, they mustyUi elevated to keep from dragging, both in front and
behind.

8.13.4 Pigging
a. consideration shall be given to the installation of on-stream pigging systems whel
accumulatior. of fqrial, dirt, wax and related materials would severely decrease the
pipeline efficiency or contibute to internal corrosion. Pigs may be any of a large
variety oftYPes.
b. pigging will normally require the installation of permanent on-stream launchers and
receivers for those facilities that require frequenf pigging runs, or those mainline..
transmission pipelines which "*oot be taken out of service. Temporary or-mobile
typepiggingsystemsmaybeconsideredforgatheringandthosepipelinewhichcanbe
t"kt" o"t of service and are pigged infrequently'
c. The design for system to be pigged should ensure that no restrictions are included in
the systeir. Where a line size "t
urg" occurs, the normal practice is to install a
receiver ana a taunctrer, although In--ultipt" size pigging sections should be considered'
lnstallation of guia" bars on all-large siie connections and liquid removal facilities
must incorporate into the design to prevent entrapment or damage to the pig'
d. Liquid receiving facilities must be provided and sized to contain the slugs of liquid
expected to be removed from the piping by each pig run'
8.14 Branch Connections

8.17 CathodicProtection
g.17.1 Steel pipelines installed below ground or submerged must be protected from external
.o..o.io, using cathodic protection as part of the protective system.
g.lj.2 Cathodic protection systems require that pipelines be electrically insulated from other systems
at certain points. Insulating flanges o, uoion, should be installed in above ground piping at all
plants, meter stations and connections with foreign pipelines.
g.lj.3 Cathodic protection is normally provided by a rectifier and ground bed system or sacrificial
anodes. The rectifiers are instalfed as necessary to provide the required protection. Test
connections are provided at intervals along the pipeline, generally at road crossings and cased
road/railroad crossings. The test connections are typically installed with the pipline by the
contractor. The cathodic survey is made by either the Client's cathodic specialist or
specialized contactor. Speciaigroundingiystem should be considered when the pipeline
parallels a Power line.
8.18 Testing
g.l8.l Radiogaphy is a means to control welding quality during construction
g.18.2 pressure testing must be conducted on all pipeline systems to establish integrity' Most testing
is done with witer, however, sorhe testing may be either air, nitrogen or natural gas'
Environmental permit requirement, -.r.ib" considered when planning the hydrostatic test'
g.l g.3 After completion of a hydrostatic tes! the pipeline must be dried. Generally dewatering of the
line with cup pigs is all that is necessary. Winter start-up, proximity to the market or contract
requirements miy require additional drying. Methanol slugs may be pushed hhought the
piptine with pigs to remove moisture and suppress the dew point. Methanol may be injected
during the start"-up to reduce moisture and hydrate problems. Compressed and dried air may
also be used with pigs to dry aT d clean the line'
g.l g.4 Under no circumstances shall the total time under test exceed eight (8) hour at 1.5 times the
design Pressure.
g.lg.5 When draining the water from the pipe, beware of creating a vacuum condition. Both ends of
the line shoulJ be open to atmospheri to allow the water to run freely out of the pipe.
g.1g.6 Unless otherwise directed in writing, all tests shall be conducted or withnessed by a Client
representative.
8.19 Qualified Welders
g.19.1 Only ..eualiffied Welders" (anyone who has passed a KNE administered welding test within
the precieding 12 months) wilibe allowed to perform welding on pipe and fittings.

o 1. INT'RODUCTION
The Fire Prevention and Suppression Plan (ptan) identifies measures to be taken by EnCana
Gathering Services (U.S.A) Inc. (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.

The compressor pad was constructed by cutting into a hill producing an approximate
70:30 cut fill ratio. Fill slopes were created on the (down gradient) north and west
sides of the pad. A cut slope was produced on the (upgradient) south side of the pad.
The east side.of the pad is at grade with an existing production pad that was previusly
constructed and is non-related to the compressor pad. Silt fencing will be installed
along the base o:f ,all slopes. Diversion ditches will be cut to direct surface runoff to the
west side of the site and into the natural drainage for the area. 4 inch rock rip-rap will
be installed in the base of the ditches to minimize migration of soil particulates. Baled
straw will be installed at strategic points in the drainage ditches and swale areas to
retard surface runoff flow rates. See sketch attached to this document.

flow of surface runoff water from the pad to a small retention pond to be located and
constructed on the west edge of the pad. The perimeter sloped areas will be
contoured and terraced to produce fractionated surface runoff through a series of
diversion ditch structures to be constructed at the base of each slope or terrace. The
diversion ditches will be surfaced with 4 inch rock rip.rap. The based of the major
slopes on the west and north sides of the side will braced with large rock rip-rap to
re-enforce the slope base and prevent sluffing of soils. When the contour, terracing,
ditching and rip-rap tasks have been completed; the exposed soils on all slopes and
terraces will be hydromulched with native grass seed. A temporary sprinkler irrigation
system will be installed to provide an optimum seed germination climate and optimized
soil moistur:e. Periodic inspections of the site will be made to assure that isolated
areas of soil erosion that may occur are corrected. When the grass seed has reached
a vegative establishment level of 70 %, these inspections will cease.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

A. Chanses in lhis General Permit
Smeral notable changesfrom the previous General Permitfor Construction Activities have been tncoryorated into this
pirmit. Most of the changes are related ro the Phase II revision to the stormwat* regulation in the Ciloratto
Discharge Permit System Regulations (5CCR 1002-61), flectiue March 2, 2001. Significant.changu are listed below:
l. Permit coverage is now required for constntction sitx that dfsturb ! to 5 acres (i-e-, small consfiitction
activities). Allowanca have been made for small constrttction activtties to comply with the requirements of d
Divbion-approved Qualifying Local Program (refer to se*ion Yl belowfor a discussion of Quatifying Locat
Programs) in place of many spectfic requirements in the Permit, including reqtdrements to submit dn
application, inactivation notice, and fea to the Divtsion. Refer to Part I-4. j of the Permit and section VII.A of
the Raionale for more details.
The requirements to submit the Township, Range, section ond quarter section of a site and a list of any other
environmental permiu for the si.te with the application have been removed.
Inactiyation requirements have been .changed to allow small constraction activities that submit applications
ind!c\"ti\g a complerion date l2 months or less from the start of constntction activity to be authorbed for a
pled-qtermined peiod from i to I2 months. The permit certification will include the automatic aViration rlate
for permil coverage. Thb expiration date will be in place of the requirement to submit an Inactivation Noice.
If permit coverage beyond the ezpiration date is needed (i.e., the site has nor been finalty stabtlizetl), the
permittee must slrbmit an exrension reguest fotm to the Division at Ieast l0 days pior to the expirarion

4. The Rationale ducussion on the Exempions for Small Municipalities (Section III-B) has been changecl to
include the March 10, 200i deadline for permit coverage for mtmicipally-owned industries. This dtd not irt
any changu Io the permit. i
i;. tsACKGROWD
As required under the Clean Water Act amendmenx of )987, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has establtshed a
frameworkfor regulating muntcipal and industrial stormwate;'discharges. This fi'amework is under lhe National pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Q'IPDES) progrom (Note: the Colorado program is refened to as the Coloraclo Dbcharge
Permit System, or CDPS, instead of NPDES). Ihe Water fuality Control Division ("the Diision") has stormwater
regulations (5CCR 1002'61) in place. Theseregulations reguirespecrfictypr-5 of indttstrialfacilities that discharge
stormwater associated with industrial activity (indwtrial stormwater), to obtain a CDPS permitfor such tlischarge. The
regulafions specifically include cons'truction activitia that disrurb one acre of land or more as inclustrial facititi-es.Construction activities that are part of a larger common plan of tla,elopment which disurb one aa-e or more over d peiod oJ
time are also included.
General Permits
The Water fuality Control Divi,sion ("the Division") has determined that the use of general perzits rs the appropriate
procedurefor handling the thousands of industrial stormwater spplicatiotts within the Snre.
Permit Requirements
This permit doe. not require submission of efluent monitoring d,ata in the permit applicalon or in the permit ixelf. 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. Yiolations/Penaltia
Dischargers of stormwater associated with industrial activtty, as defi.ned in the Regutations for the State Discharge
Permit System ('CCR 1002-61), which do nol oblain coverage under this or other Colorado general permits, or under
sn individual CDPS pmnit regulating industrial storrnwaler, will be in violation of the Federal Clean Water Act anc{
the Colorado Water Quality Contt'ol Act, 25-8-101. Forfacilities coyered under a CDPS permit, failure to comply
with ory CDPS permit requirement constitutes o violation. Civil penalties for violations of the Act or CDpS permi
requiremen5 may be up to $10,000 per day. Cnminal pollution oJstate waters is punishable by fines of up to $25,t
per day.

requirements by referance. A fualifying Local Program is a municipal'stormwatu program fot ilormwater discharges
associated with small constntction activity that has been formally approved by the Divisian. The requirements for etatifying
Local Progrars are outlined in Part 61 .8(l2) of the Colorado Dischargr Permit System Regalations. Such programs must
impose reguirements to Protect water quality that are at least as strict as those required in this permit.
ABproval Terlnination: A Qualifying Local Program may be terminated by either the Division or the municipality.
Upon termination of Division approval of a Qualifying Local Program, any small constntction activity required to

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).

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

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].

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.

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. Acoly of the post-rrylgation inspection form will be transmitted to the Contractor if any

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

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.

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
