STAFF COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS In accordance with the ULUR Limited Impact Review, the Applicant has provided detailed responses to Section 4-203, Submittal Requirements, applicable sections of Article VII, Divisions 1, 2, and 3, and Section 7-1101 Industrial Use Standards. The Application materials include an Impact Analysis and related consultant reports, technical studies, and plans. Key topics for the review are summarized in the following sections. Access - Traffic The Application documents the legal access to the site along with a general description of the roadway as currently in use. A traffic analysis is provided which notes minimal impacts from the development. Construction traffic associated with potential future expansions will be limited to delivery and installation of self contained modular buildings/units. The installation is anticipated to be a one day operation. The existing roadway system appears to adequately accommodate industrial traffic accessing the site. A statement and finding of adequacy including safety of the existing access road should be required from a qualified professional or representative of Hunter Ridge Energy. Re -vegetation, Weed Control and Reclamation The site is included in long term reclamation plans for the Encana North Parachute Ranch. Confirmation that the site is covered by existing reclamation bonds should be provided. The Applicant's Erosion and Sediment Control Plan indicates that disturbed areas outside of the pad have been stabilized, drainage improvements are in place, and no additional disturbance is anticipated. The Application includes a weed management plan including chemical, mechanical, biological and cultural weed management practices. Spill Prevention and Safety The Applicant has provided an excerpt from the existing Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) for the site. The Applicant should maintain and update the SPCC plan as warranted. Operations plans including emergency notification information were included in the submittals and need to be maintained and kept current. Noise The Application addresses noise issues in the Impact Analysis Section and in the responses to Section 7-1101 Industrial Use Standards. While noise studies are not specficially required by the ULUR compliance with noise standards including COGCC regulations are required. Noise studies are typically provided when proximity to other land uses warrant it and when noise issues are anticipated by either the County or the Applicant. In this case the Applicant has not provided a noise study but addresses the issue with additional information on noise issues including locational factors that deminish the likelihood of any noise impacts. The remote location and topography are key factors noted by the Applicant and addressed in the following excerpts from the submittals . "Noise at the existing J25 CDP facility will not exceed COGCC noise standards. The nearest property boundary (Exxon) is approximately 1.5 miles away with no line of sight, providing significant geographic relief. 8 Approximately 100 vertical feet of elevated terrain above the facility separate the line of sight between the facility and the nearest property boundary...." No major noise generating equipment such as compressor units are proposed for this measuring and monitoring facility. Storm Water & Grading An erosion and sediment control plan and Storm Water Management plan and CDPHE permit are provided with the Application. Storm water management improvements are in place. Article VII Standards including Section 7-1101 Industrial Use Standards The Applicant has adequately addressed the applicable provisions of Article VII subject to compliance with conditions of approval, with a general summary provided below: • There is no potable water demand or sanitation requirements associated with the facility which is not manned on a regular basis. A waiver has been requested from the water supply plan requirement. • A portable toilet is located on the site and needs remain in place during installation/construction periods or when operations or maintenance employees are on site for longer periods. • No new roads are proposed and existing roads provide legal access to the site. In order to address technical compliance issues a waiver from Roadway Standards should be approved. • No geologic, slope or soils hazards have been identified for the site. • No impacts on agricultural uses or adjoining properties are anticipated based on the remote location and surrounding oil and gas activities. The site is fenced. • A wildlife study was provided with general findings of no additional impacts from the proposed uses. Some indirect impacts are anticipated from the presence of personnel and noise on the site. • The Greater Sage Grouse was addressed by the wildlife study including the following conclusion: "Because the J25 CDP is a previously developed site, no additional disturbance to sagebrush habitat within the NDIS mapped sage - grouse production area would be removed by development of the project. An increase in vehicle traffic could result in mortality due to collisions (road kill). Certain features of the J25 CDP could provide hunting perches for raptors that could contribute to an increase in sage -grouse mortality." • Potential impacts on wetlands, water bodies are not anticipated. Erosion and Sediment Control Plans address this concern along with Storm Water Management Plans, and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans (SPCC) • Air Quality Permits if any will be required in accordance with CDPHE requirements. 9 • Additional documentation of dust mitigation plans for the roadways and site need to be provided. • Review of building code compliance as applicable for existing structures shall be required. • A Class I Cultural Resources Study was conducted by Flattops Archaeological Consultants with a finding of "no historic properties affected". • A Traffic Study reflecting minimal traffic and related impacts was provided. • A reclamation plan is provided in the submittals. • No other nuisance impacts including vibration have been identified or are anticipated by the facility. • Wild Fire protection issues are addressed in the Standards Section of the Application. V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan 2030 designates the site as Resource Production/Natural RPN. Surrounding properties include the same designation. Excerpts from Section 9, Mineral Extraction are provided below. Section 9 — Mineral Extraction - Policies 2. Mineral resource extraction activities will protect critical wildlife habitat as identified by state and federal agencies. Development within these designations that cannot be designed, constructed and conducted so as to have a minimum adverse impact upon such habitat or these wildlife species shall be discouraged. 4. Facilities that are appurtenances to oil/ gas development activities (compressors, etc.) are considered appropriate in all land uses so long as they meet the respective mitigation requirements of the ULUR to maintain compatibility with surrounding land uses.

Civil and EnvironmentalConsulting and Design Civil Consulting Design RE: J-25 CDP for Hunter Ridge Energy Services, LLC: LIPA-7520 Dear Glenn: This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Limited Impact Application the J-25 CDP for Hunter Ridge Energy Services, LLC. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The following comments were generated: 1. The application materials state that employees are not onsite on a regular basis" so no sewer or water services are planned on being provided. However the existing site plan has a note that water is provided for "personal sanitary purposes" but then also states that no wast water system exists. The Applicant should clarify the length and number of employees that are typically on site and if some provisions are or should be made for sewer and/or water services. 2. The Applicant has requested a waiver from providing a water supply plan. The above should be determined prior to determining if a waiver should be granted. 3. The SPCC tab of the application materials included a site exhibit but that exhibit does not show the proposed buildings that are on the Site Plam 4. The SPCC did not include the entire SPCC plan but rather just the site exhibit. The Applicant should verify that the proposed uses do not require any revisions to the SPCC plan. Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, Mount..

In the Pre -application Conference Summary, it was expressed that all of the facilities had already been constructed and that a permit was requested for the existing facilities. The site map/plan in this document appears to reference Building #1, Building #2, and Building #3 that already exist; however, in the Site Plan and Project Description there are two additional "Future Buildings". One appears to be another water pump building and the other a LACT unit. Is the applicant seeking approval for only the existing facilities, or for the future buildings as well? As with my comments on the 003 Story Booster Compressor Station, I would like more clarification in regards to the Nuisance Conditions section. o Because Future Building #4 and #5 will be installed on existing disturbance, I am not concerned with dust mitigation measures. However, it would be beneficial to know if the pad that was constructed for the CDP resulted in new disturbance or if the site had originally been used for something else. If there was new disturbance, I would like to see a note stating that proper dust control was used during the process. o Despite the fact that there are no occupied structures within 1,500' of the site, there does seem to be the potential for some of the facilities on the site to produce air emissions that should be considered. Please specify that the 3 generators on the site either received a APEN from the Air Pollution Control Division or that it is believed one is currently not necessary (if they are diesel powered rather than electric). It appears that both SWMP and SPCC are adequate. I will defer to CDPHE and COGCC on this matter. Hopefully the site visit should be able to answer most of these questions, but that's what I have for now.

This facility is located approximately 18 miles north-northeast of Parachute, Colorado on EnCana's North Parachute Ranch property in Section 25, T4S, R95W of the 6th Principle Meridian. It is our understanding that this facility lies within the footprint of a previously developed/disturbed site. In September 2009, CPW entered into an agreement with EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) for a Wildlife Mitigation Plan for the North Parachute Ranch property which includes the subject property proposed for this facility. CPW has consulted with EnCana on this project and it is our understanding that the best management practices identified in the North Parachute Ranch/CPW Wildlife Mitigation Plan will be incorporated into the development of this project. This site is located in a greater sage -grouse production area and black bear habitat. The best management practices identified in the North Parachute Ranch/CPW Wildlife Mitigation Plan are anticipated to address wildlife concerns. Colorado Parks and Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to work with Garfield County on this and other projects for the benefit of wildlife. If you have any questions please contact Scott Hoyer, District Wildlife Manager, at 970-250-0873. Sincerely, JT Romatzke Area Wildlife Manager STATE OF COLORADO John W.

The Fire District has no objections to move forward with permitting of the existing Central Delivery Point with the additions of two more future structures. It is noted that if anything was to happen at this complex that emergency services will be delayed due to the remote location. Even with the Fire Districts review of the plans and or business it is the responsibility of the owner to make sure the building complies with the International Fire Code 2009 Edition and all possible code requirements.
