Fugitive Dust Control Plan
Piceance Basin Natural Gas
Development Projects
Scope
The scope of these guidelines is to outline some basic principles to
minimize and control fugitive dust emissions during land development.
Requirements
Encana places the highest priority on the health and safety of our
workforce and protection of our assets and the environment.
Applicable Documents
Department of Public Health and Environment Air Quality Control
Commission Regulation 1 5CCR 1001-3
Quality
These guidelines will be reviewed periodically and will be shared with
employees and contractors to ensure that they have adequate knowledge
to minimize fugitive dust emissions.
1.0 Introduction
Land development activities, including clearing, excavating, and grading, release fugitive dust, a pollutant
regulated by the Air Pollution Control Division (Division) at the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment. However, small land development activities that are less than 25 contiguous acres and less than
6 months in duration do not need to report air emissions to the Division, but must use appropriate control
measures to minimize the release of fugitive dust from the site.
This Fugitive Dust Control Plan addresses how dust will be kept to a minimum at the Encana's
Project sites.
This plan focuses action on:
1. Identifying specific individual sources of fugitive dust.
2. Control options for unpaved roadways.
3. Control options for disturbed areas.
4. Control options for transport, storage and handling of bulk materials.
5. Contingency Plan for alternative action in the event that control strategies are not adequate,
effective, or practicable.
2.0 Specific Sources
Specific types of fugitive dust sources may appear to have negligible dust emissions, but when
combined with other specific sources underway at the same time can create dust plumes that are visible
beyond that which is appropriate for designated speeds and designs and may exceed nuisance emission
limitation guidelines. It is important to consider all activities on the site together in determining
compliance with federal, state, and local air quality regulations.
Task:
Provide field personnel and contractors with the information required to limit fugitive particulate
matter (fugitive dust) from all specific sources to include:
• Unpaved Roadways and traffic areas.
• Construction activities including Earth Moving and excavation.
• Bulk Material (i.e. gravel and soils).
• Storage and handling of materials
3.0 Control Options for Unpaved Roadways
Any owner or operator responsible for construction or maintenance of any (existing or new) unpaved
roadway is required to use all available, practical methods to minimize dust emissions:
Task:
Provide guidelines for minimizing fugitive dust emissions from all specific sources on unpaved
roadways and traffic areas:
• Require that all passenger vehicles, construction equipment, and truck traffic obey the posted
speed limits on all unpaved County roads to and from the project site.
• Ensure that vehicle speeds on new and existing access roads on the project site do not exceed
15 miles per hour by posting speed limits along these roads.
• Restrict vehicle traffic to existing roads by posting signs and/or providing the locations of
allowable access routes to all field personnel and visitors.
• Encourage carpooling to and from the project site to limit traffic on existing County roads.
• Roads and well locations will be surfaced with compacted gravel to protect against wind
erosion, to reduce the amount of fugitive dust generated by traffic and other activities, and to
reduce carryout/trackout.
• Use dust inhibitors (surfacing materials, water, or non -saline dust suppressants) on all unpaved
collector, local, and resource roads to prevent fugitive dust problems (ensure that any dust
suppressants used are appropriate for road conditions and will not compromise the safety of
workers on the project site).
• Restrict vehicular access during periods of inactivity using gates, fencing, and/or onsite security
personnel.
4.0 Control Options for Disturbed Areas
Disturbed areas include new roads, well pads, parking and staging areas, and materials storage areas
that have been cleared of vegetation, leveled, or excavated. These areas are susceptible to wind
erosion and are a major source of fugitive dust emissions that require the appropriate controls and dust
mitigation methods. Note that specific sources are subject to change as project conditions change, and
will require an evaluation of current control options to ensure effectiveness and practicality.
-2
Task:
Limit the adverse impacts of fugitive dust emissions through control measures and operational
procedures designed so that no off -property transport emissions occur at the project site:
• Ensure that land clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation activities are suspended when
wind speeds exceed a sustained velocity of 20 miles per hour.
• Surface all bare ground with gravel as soon as practicable after clearing, leveling, and grading.
• Use dust inhibitors (surfacing materials, water, or non -saline dust suppressants) on all
disturbed areas as necessary to prevent fugitive dust problems.
- Identify the water source to be used for dust suppression, and ensure that contract water
haulers are available when needed.
- Reduce the amount of time between initially disturbing the soil and revegetating or other
surface stabilization.
• Apply vegetative or synthetic cover to topsoil and spoil piles as soon as practicable following
stockpiling to prevent wind erosion and fugitive dust emissions.
• Compact the soil on disturbed areas that will not be surfaced with gravel or revegetated
immediately following construction.
- Minimize surface disturbance to only that necessary for safe and efficient construction and
operations.
• Use vegetative mulch, reseeding, or other methods of surface stabilization on all areas
adjoining development to include shoulders, borrow ditches, and berms if practical.
• Restrict vehicular access during periods of inactivity using gates, fencing, and/or onsite security
personnel.
- Identify any new sources of fugitive dust emissions and evaluate and implement the
appropriate control methods for that source.
• Incorporate fugitive dust controls in all lands projects.
5.0 Control Options for Transport, Storage and Handling of Bulk Materials
Transporting bulk materials, such as gravel and fill material, can result in off -property dust emissions and
other impacts (i.e. broken windshields) over some distance if the appropriate control measures are not
implemented. Storage and handling of bulk materials once they arrive at the project site also requires
that controls are in place to ensure that these materials do not exceed regulated nuisance dust
emissions.
Task:
Use control measures and operational procedures designed so that no off -property transport
emissions occur along public roadways to and from the project site:
• Enclose, cover, water, or otherwise treat loaded haul trucks to minimize the loss of material to
wind and spillage.
• Require that all contract haul vehicles obey the posted speed limits on all public roadways to
and from the project site.
- Ensure that haul truck speeds on new and existing access roads on the project site do not
exceed 15 miles per hour by posting speed limits along these roads.
- Restrict haul trucks to existing roads and pad locations.
• Do not attempt to load/unload haul trucks when wind speeds exceed a sustained velocity of 20
miles per hour.
• Promptly remove dust -forming material from haul trucks to minimize entrainment of fugitive
particulate matter.
• Avoid storage and handling of bulk material any more than necessary to complete construction.
• Use covers, enclosures, wind breaks, or watering to prevent fugitive dust emissions from
material storage piles
• Restrict access to construction areas and storage piles during periods of inactivity using gates,
fencing, and/or onsite security personnel.
-3-
6.0 Contingency Planning
Alternative control measures may become necessary in the event that the current dust control strategy is
not adequate or effective for conditions. An alternative plan may require addition planning, permitting, or
other regulatory compliance requirements to implement. In this case, the current activities at the project
site would necessarily be suspended until such time as the alternate dust control methods could be put
into place.
Task:
Implement alternative action to fugitive dust control plan and to each specific source if deemed
necessary to comply with federal, state, and local air quality regulations:
• Provide field personnel and contractors with contact information for responsible individuals in
cases where control measures need to be escalated in response to weather conditions (i.e.
increased windiness).
• Use an appropriate alternative dust inhibitor if water does not prove to be effective under
normal circumstances, and obtain all regulatory permissions for the use of chemical
suppressants on the project site.
• Use vegetative blankets or other methods for cover of topsoil, spoil, and bulk material storage
piles if immediate cover becomes necessary.
• Attempt to locate alternative sources of bulk material closer to the project site if fugitive dust
emissions or other impacts from contract haul trucks on state or federal highways become an
issue with public safety or regulatory compliance.

RE: Hunter Ridge Energy Services, LLC J-25 CDP Geologic Hazard Report Supplement
Project # 012-2594
Dear Ms. Busch:
I have reviewed the Geologic and Soil Hazards Report that Ms. Tammie Lee Crossen,
Associate Geologist prepared in December 2012 for the Hunter Ridge Energy Services, LLC J-
25 Central Distribution Point (CDP) (Site) located in the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast
Quarter of Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 96 West, of the Sixth Principal Meridian,
Garfield County, Colorado. I have confirmed the information contained in the report.
The report states that based on the Garfield County GIS department information the Site does
not lie within a floodplain area. The site is in an area with steep terrain at an elevation of
approximately 8,220 feet above mean sea level, and that based on a comparison with similar
areas, slope hazards likely exist. No geologic hazards have been mapped by Garfield County in
this area, and no faults or other hazards are evident on the Geologic Map of Colorado. The
report concludes that Olsson can work to assist with the Site specific assessments of the
proposed project to determine the degree to which these hazards may affect the specific
location. It is not known if Olsson personnel assisted with the development of the Site or
conducted a site visit to assess Site specific geologic hazards.
I reviewed the Preliminary Geologic Map of McCarthy Gulch Quadrangle, Rio Blanco and
Garfield Counties, Colorado USGS MF -860 (O'Sullivan, Wahl -Pierce, Arbelbide, 1981). The
map confirms the information obtained through online resources that the Site is underlain by the
Tertiary Uinta Formation and that it is in an area of steep terrain. There are no indications of
geologic hazards in the immediate area of the Site; however, the Site is in an area with steep
slopes.
I reviewed the Soil Survey of Rifle Area, Colorado parts of Garfield and Mesa Counties,
Colorado NRCS (Harman and Murray, 1985) and information online and confirmed that the soil
type beneath the compressor Site is the Parachute - Rhone loam (53). The 1985 soil includes a
section and table (Table 7) on building site development that indicates the degree and kind of
soil limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings with and without basements, small
commercial buildings, and local roads and streets. According to the soil survey "A slight
limitation indicates that the soil properties are generally favorable for the specified use; any
limitation is minor and easily overcome. A moderate limitation indicates that soil properties and
site features are unfavorable for the specified use, but can be overcome or minimized by special
planning and design. A severe limitation indicates that one or more soil properties or site
features are so unfavorable or difficult to overcome that a major increase in construction effort,

special design, or intensive maintenance is required. For some soils rated severe, such costly
measures may not be feasible."
The 1985 soil survey Table 7 indicates that the Parachute Rhone loam (Unit 53) is classified as
`Moderate to Severe: due to slope, and depth to rock' for shallow excavations, dwellings without
basements, dwellings with basements, small commercial buildings, and for local roads and
streets." The J-25 CDP Site appears to have been constructed, so it is expected that a major
increase in construction effort or special design were necessary and were performed, and/or
intensive maintenance is required for the existing Site with regard to the steep slope.
Although I have not visited the J-25 CDP Site, I have performed field work in the area north of
the town of Parachute and I am familiar with the area geology. The Garfield County Land Use
Code defines a geologic hazard as "A geologic phenomenon that is so adverse to past, current,
or foreseeable construction or land use as to constitute a significant hazard to public health and
safety or to property." A geologic hazard area includes, but is not limited to the following:
A. Avalanche areas;
B. Landslide areas,
C. Mudflow debris areas,
D. Radioactive areas, or
E. Areas with potential unstable soils.
Heavy snow accumulation could result in potential avalanche conditions in some years;
however, aside from the steep slope the other listed geologic hazards are not considered
significant at the Site.
The slope, depth to rock, and steep terrain are a geologic hazard that could adversely affect the
Site. Engineering and design must account for any change in land use and should take the
slope into consideration for any proposed development or changes to the Site. These criteria
may increase costs to develop or maintain the Site.
