Re: Information Requested For Our Special Use & Conditional Use
Permits.
0P89:226
Dear Mr. Bean:
I have put together the information requested for our permits.
This project involves running a new pipeline on Forest Service
lands, BLM lands, private easements and County Road right of way.
The new pipeline will parallel our existing 6" route. A 10"
pipeline will be installed from the Yank Creek area down to the
proposed compressor station site located in the NE1/4 of Section
1, T8S, R89W (BLM land). An 8" pipeline will be run from the
compressor site down to the intersection of County Roads 108 &
109.
We have applied to the Forest Service for an amendment to our
permit. The existing permit allows for an 8" and 6" pipeline. We
have requested that the pipeline size from Yank Creek towards
Carbondale be changed to allow a 10" line instead. We will
parallel our existing 6" line except for a reroute around a
current slide area.
We have applied to the BLM for an amendment to our permit. The
existing permit allows a 6" pipeline only. We have requested that
authorization be given to allow a 10" line down to the Compressor
station site and an 8" line from the compressor site towards
Carbondale. We have also requested authorization for a two acre
site for the compressor station itself. The amendment will also
allow an access road to be built from County Road 108 to the site.
I have enclosed copies of our existing easements with Robert
Perry and the North Thompson Four Mile Mineral and Land
Corporation. These easements grant multi line rights to us. No
new easements are needed here.
The portion of new 8" pipeline between our current valve site in
N1/2N1/2 of Section 6, T8S, R88W and the intersection of County
Roads 108 & 109 will be installed within County Road 108 right of
way unless private easements can be acquired prior to
construction. We need to take King Lloyd up to look at this
portion when we get enough information to proceed.

We feel that there will be minimal impacts associated with this
project. The new pipeline will parallel the existing pipeline.
The only part of the project that really differs from the
existing system is the compressor station itself.
There are no plans for water use except for what we may haul up
to the compressor site.
One of the biggest considerations for choosing our proposed site
is noise. These units are relatively quiet, but we want them as
far from dwellings as we can practically get them. In all
probability, the BLM land will never be developed as a
residential area. In actual tests run on one of the units to be
installed at this site, we measured about 100 dBA inside the
building, and up to 73 dBA at 100' from the building. This unit
was not designed with any noise mitigation in mind; our proposed
new station will have several such features. Noise decreases by
6 dBA each time the distance doubles.
We feel that there will be no adverse affects on wildlife or
domestic animals. A Division of Wildlife representative looked at
the site when we proposed it to the BLM. He didn't have any
problems with the site.
Other than during the construction phase, this project will only
generate an average of three to six round trips per day.
Our proposed site's closest corner is approximately 400' to 450'
feet from the next property owner to the west.
We will apply for the emissions permit from the Colorado
Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division.
I hope that this information will give you what you need to
process the permits. Please contact Steve Shute or me at the
address or phone listed on the letterhead if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

is designed and used for the interchange of traffic between the road-
way pavement and the abutting property.
2. At any intersection, a driveway shall be restricted for a suf-
ficient distance from the intersection to preserve the normal and safe
movement of traffic. (It is recommended for rural residence entrances
that a minimum intersection clearance of 50 feet be provided and for
rural commercial entrances a minimum of 100 feet be provided.)
3. All entrances and exits shall be so located and constructed that
vehicles approaching or using them will be able to obtain adequate
sight distance in both directions along the highway in order to maneuver
safely and without interfering with highway traffic.
4. The Applicant shall not be permitted to erect any sign or display
material, either fixed or movable, on or extending over any portion
of the highway right-of-way.
5. Generally, no more than one approach shall be allowed any parcel
or property the frontage of which is less than one hundred (100) feet.
Additional entrances or exits for parcels or property having a frontage
in excess of one hundred (100) feet shall be permitted only after
showing of actual convenience and necessity.
6. All driveways shall be so located that the flared portion adjacent
to the traveled way will not encroach upon adjoining property.
7. No commercial driveway shall have a width greater than thirty (30)
feet measured at right angles to the centerline of the driveway, except
as increased by permissible radii. No noncommercial driveway shall
have a width greater than twenty (20) feet measured at right angles to
the centerline of the driveway, except as increased by permissible radii.
8. The axis of an approach to the road may be at a right angle to the
centerline of the highway and of any angle between ninety (90) degrees
and sixty (60) degrees but shall not be less than sixty (60) degrees.
Adjustment will be made according to the type of traffic to be served
and other physical conditions.
9. The construction of parking or servicing areas on the highway
right-of-way is specifically prohibited. Off -the -road parking facil-
ities should be provided by commercial establishments for customers'
vehicles.
10. The grade of entrance and exit shall slope downward and away from
the road surface at the same rate as the normal shoulder slope and for
a distance equal to the width of the shoulder but in no case less than
twenty (20) feet from the pavement edge. Approach grades are restricted
to not more than 10 percent (10%).
11. All driveways and approaches shall be so constructed that they
shall not interfere with the drainage system of the street or highway.
The Applicant will be required to provide, at his own expense, drain-
age structures at entrances and exits which will become an integral
part of the existing drainage system. The dimensions of all drainage
structures must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners or
their representative prior to installation.
NOTE: This permit shall be made available at the site where and when work is
being done. A work sketch or drawing of the proposed driveway(s) must accompany
application. No permit will be issued without drawing, blueprint, or sketch.
•
FIFTH: The Applicant shall assume responsibility for the removal or
clearance`of snow, ice or sleet upon any portion of the driveway ap-
proach(es) even though deposited on the driveway(s) in the course of
the County snow removal operations.
SIXTH: In the event it becomes necessary to remove any right-of-way
fence, the posts on either side of the entrance shall be securely
braced before the fence is cut to prevent any slacking of the remain-
ing fence, and all posts and wire removed shall be turned over to the
District Road Supervisor of the Board of County Commissioners.
SEVENTH: No revisions or additions shall be made to the driveway(s)
or its appurtenances on the right-of-way without the written permis-
sion of the Board of County Commissioners.

Re: Proposed New 8” Pipeline and a Compressor Station
OP89:176
Dear Mr. Hartmann:
We are in the planning stage of building a new eight inch
pipeline. This new pipeline is needed to help supply the Roaring
Fork Valley with an adequate amount of natural gas. This pipeline
will connect with an existing eight inch line near Yank Creek and
proceed in an easterly direction towards Carbondale (map
attached). This pipeline will parallel an existing six inch
pipeline that was installed in the early 1960s. Most of the line
will be installed within existing rights -of -ways now held by the
company. The pipeline will cross some private property, U.S.
Forest Service and BLM lands. A portion of the new pipeline will
be installed within Garfield County Road 108 as is the existing
six inch line.
Another part of this project is the addition of a compressor
station. The proposed site for the station is on BLM land located
in the NE1/4 of Section 1, Township 8 South, Range 89 West of the
6th P.M. This site covers an approximate two hundred foot by four
hundred foot area. A new road will be built to access the site. I
have been trying to catch up with King Lloyd to talk about an
access permit.
These proposed changes to our system will not change the current
land use except for the above ground compressor station.
With the above information in mind and the attached topo map,
please let me know what permits, if any, are needed for our
project. Please contact me at the address or phone listed below
if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
James L. Krohe

have been trying to catch up with King Lloyd to talk about an
access permit.
These proposed changes to our system will not change the current
land use except for the above ground compressor station.
With the above information in mind and the attached topo map,
please let me know what permits, if any, are needed for our
project. Please contact me at the address or phone listed below
if you have any questions.

Re: Revegetation information
OP89:229
Dear Mr. Bean:
I failed to give you the revegetation information that you had
asked for in my last letter. The current policy we have for
revegetation is as follows: 1.) All federal lands are reseeded
with the seed mix specified in our permit. 2.) On all private
lands crossed that are currently growing a crop (hay, etc.), we
pay the land owner the cost to reseed his field. This way he gets
the seed mix that he wants. 3.) On all private lands crossed that
are not in a crop, we reseed with a common mix used in that area.
If you have any questions, please contact me at the address or
phone listed above.

5. The holder shall be fully liable to the United States for any damage or
injury incurred by the United States in connection with the use and
occupancy of the right-of-way area by the holder, its employees,
contractors, or employees of the contractor.
6. The holder shall be fully liable for injuries or damages to third parties
resulting from activities or facilities on lands under federal jurisdiction
in which the damage or injury occurred. The holder shall fully indemnify
the United States for liability, damage or claims arising in connection
with the holder's use and occupancy of the right-of-way area.
7. In the construction, operation, maintenance, and termination of the
facilities authorized by this grant, the holder shall not discriminate
against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed,
color, sex, or national origin. All subcontracts shall include an
identical provision.
Special Stipulations:
1. The holder shall notify the Glenwood Springs Resource Area office at
(303) 945-2341 at least 48 hours prior to construction and 48 hours prior
to completion of construction activities.
2. Topsoil material will be removed in conjunction with clearing and stripping
operations and set aside for reclamation.
3. Holder shall begin reclamation activities on all disturbed areas
immediately after construction has been completed. The area is considered
to be satisfactorily reclaimed when the following criteria have been met:
a. All disturbed areas have been restored to the original form, slope,
contour, and soil density to the extent practicable.
b. All soil erosion associated with the operation has been stabilized.
c. An acceptable vegetative cover has been established on all disturbed
areas as described in stipulation #4.
4. Holder shall seed all disturbed areas using 90 -percent -pure, live seed
(PLS). The seed mixture is to be designed to prevent erosion and
ameliorate impacts to wildlife and livestock and will be approved by the
authorized officer. A rangeland drill will be used where possible. If
unable to drill seed, broadcast seed at double the PLS rates and harrow.
In the event that seeding does not result in successful revegetation, as
determined by the authorized officer, reseeding and/or additional measures
will be required for reclamation. Disturbed areas will be considered
satisfactorily revegetated when the percent vegetative cover at least
equals the cover present prior to disturbance and the plant species
composition is at least as desirable as that present prior to disturbance.
Additional measures may include, but are not limited to: soil analysis to
determine the need for fertilizer, fertilizing, additional seedbed
preparation, mulching, modification of the seed mixture and fencing to
exclude livestock.

5. Holder shall construct waterbars to control erosion on all disturbed
slopes. Guidelines for spacing of waterbars are as follows:
Percent Grade Spacing
less than 2% 200'
2-4% 100'
4-5% 75'
greater than 5% 10-50'
Variations to this spacing can be altered depending upon soil stability
and/or erosion potential. Waterbars shall be constructed to simulate
imaginary contour lines of the slope, ideally with a channel grade of two
percent or less. Waterbars shall begin in vegetation on the uphill side
and feather out into vegetation or rock on the downhill side.
6. The holder shall notify the authorized officer upon discovery of any
noxious weed species found on disturbed areas within the exterior limits of
the right-of-way and is responsible for immediate control and eradication.
The holder shall consult with and obtain approval from the authorized
officer for acceptable weed control methods such as mechanical or chemical
or by providing funds to BLM for treatment.
7. All debris, such as paper, cans, wire, flagging or other trash, shall be
removed and properly disposed of upon completion. No oil or lubricants
shall be drained onto the ground.
8. The holder shall obtain permission from the authorized officer prior to
cutting fences on public land. No fence will be cut unless no alternative
exists. Before cutting through fences, the holder should firmly brace the
fence on both sides of the cut; a temporary gate will be installed for use
during the course of operations, unless the fence is immediately repaired.
Upon completion of operations, fences shall be restored to at least their
original condition.
9. If facilities authorized for construction under this right-of-way grant
amendment use polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), such use shall be in a
totally enclosed manner in accordance with provisions of the Toxic
Substances Control Act of 1976 as amended (see 40 CFR Part 761).
Additionally, any release of PCBs (leaks, spills, etc.) in excess of the
reportable quantity established by 40 CFR Part 117 shall be reported as
required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act, Section 102b. A copy of any report required or requested by
any federal agency or state government as a result of a reportable release

1. Warranty period will be for 2 years.
The trench line is to be located so as not to fall where
tire path would be, preferably between tire paths.
3. Compaction tests will be taken at 200 Ft. intervals, and
for every 1 foot lift of compacted material by means of
nuclear density testing conducted by an independent
engineering company. The minimum compaction will be 95%
proctor density with test results submitted to the County,
any areas failing this test will need to be re -worked until
that area does pass. All tests will be conducted in the
roadway trench and at the expense of the pipeline owner.
If native materials prove inadequate then select material
may be brought in and native material disposed of off site.
Jetting of material is not allowed.
4. The final 8 inches of backfill shall be Class 6 material
with a 3/4 inch chip & seal the full width of roadway
weather permitting, otherwise a 2 inch asphalt cold patch.
will be applied with chip & seal to follow in the Spring.
If you should have any questions, please call this office.
Sincerely,

GOUNTY MIMISSIONERS
RE: Review of Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Co. compressor station
environmental assessment draft CO -077-9-37.
Mr. Owings,
I have carefully read the environmental assessment of the RMNGC
compressor station site alternatives and would like to have my comments
considered in your decision making process.
II. PROPOSED ACTION AND ALTERNATIVES, B. Alternatives
I favor alternative #2, Existing Valve Station Alternative Site.
During site tours with representatives from RMNGC and the BLM and the
County Commissioners, Steve Schute repeatedly stated that the compressor
station site could be located anywhere between the pipeline junction
near CRMS and as high up the pipeline as could be accessable in the
winter. This definition easily includes the Valve Staion Site. I
question that the operating costs po RMNGC as expressed on page 12,
pp 4: Socio-Econimic Factors would significant enough to dismiss this
site. Cost savings to RMNGC by the relocation of their compressors
should off -set the extra operating costs. Costs to RMNGC should not
be the basis for your site selection decision.
III. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT, Visual Resources
Please note pp 1 reviewing the BLM site, "Overall sensitivity to
new landscape modifications is deemed to be high." And please note pp 2
"The area is under Visual Resource Management Class II objectives to
retain the existing character of the landscape."
Transportation Resources
In pp 1, the use of the BLM site would fulfill a " high priority need
to acquire public road access into Holgate Mesa': Due to the nature of the
topography and soils directly south of the BLM site, a road access would
be difficult and expensive to develop and maintain. Plans for a future
access road into the Holgate Mesa area should be studied for engineering
feasibility before an initial segment is built. A non -motorized trail
from the existing turnout could easily be created without the need for
a compressor station site. A motorized access to open ground would
create unnecessary vegetation and soil damage, wildlife impact, and
littering of a presently unspoiled area.
Secio-Economic Factors
The existing quality of the BLM site and the entire Edgerton Creek
basin are of high value not only to the ranching community, but the
Carbondale residential community and tourists visiting this area who
appreciate undeveloped open spaces. Many people enjoy driving, riding,
and cycling county road 108 as it accesses the National Forest and BLM
lands in Thompson Creek and the Spring Gulch x -country ski area. Again,
RMNGC costs should not be a basis for the BLM decision --71V,,
AUG 16 1989#.
4H6ii'9LL'u L,LiJt`v 1 Y
page 2
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IRSEQUENCES, Wildlife Resources •
The statement that the "additional impacts of development at the
proposed and Valve Station site would be insignificant" is not true.
The development of the BLM site with motorized access of the entire lower
basin would have significant impact on the deer and elk movements and
grazing patterns. From ten years of almost daily observations of both
sites I know the impact would be greater at the BLM site because of the
numbers of animals using the actual BLM site for spring and fall grazing,
winter browsing, and as an area of passage through the Grand Hogback.
Visual Resources
As the nearest residence to the BLM site I would not like to view
the compressor station or any night lighting of the buildings as part of
our principle view to the east.
Noise
Noise of the magnitude created by the continuous operation of the
compressors is sound pollution and should be muffled to absolute minimum
levels regardless of site selection. With proper mitigation the noise
impact on the residence near the Valve Station site would be insignificant
(pp 7) thereby having no visual or noise impact on that property.
Land Status
Please note pp 4, "Selection of the Valve Station site alternative
would avoid encumbrance of public lands".
C. Critical Elements
Air quality has not been considered in how it would be impacted
by diesel engines running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Visual
quality and sound pollution should also be included when reviewing
resource values.
E. Mitigation, Visual Resources:
1. Locate the compressor buildings at the lowest elevation within
the site, moving the complex to the north and east.
Locate the compressor station on the north side of the Edgerton
Creek gully to remove the facility from the residential view
and limit motorized traffic to the county road side of the
BLM land.
3. The BLM site averages 6 months of snow cover. An exterior
building color of a light green/gray similar to sagebrush
would harmonize best with the existing summer vegetation
as well as the winter landscape.
5. Establishing vegetation in this arid area is very difficult
as was experience by the Snowmass Coal Co. in trying to revegetate
areas near their mine. To establish dense large shrubs and
trees on the BLM site is easier said than done. Vegetation
screening already exists on the Valve Station site.
7. Require that no night lighting be visible from the residences
and that exterior lighting be used only for emergency maintainance.
Request that there be no continuous night lighting of the grounds.
Noise:
1. Request all of pp 1. Establish a maximum operating decibel level
in all ranges that would have no noise impact on the surrounding
area.
5. Have an independent engineer preform ambient sound test in the area
before construction and after operation.
Recreation Resources:
3. Create a motorized use boundary to keep vehicles confined to
appropriate areas.
page 3
IV. AGENCIES ANDDIVIDUALS CONSULTED
I have attended each site tour, commissioner hearing, commissioner
site review, and the sound test. I have written letters to the BLM and
the County Commissioners. I was disappointed not to be included as a
consulted individual when I have been actively involved in the site
selection process. With Ruth Perry and Cindy Perry also not included
I can only conclude that this is a blatant exclusion of women's views
or a gross mistake.
•
Your decision on the use of the BLM site will have long term
consequences for neighboring residences, the Carbondale community,
and the RMNGC. Please give this decision your most thoughtful
consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATURAL GAS
CRYSTAL COMPRESSOR STATION
Dear Jim:
I represent Bob and Ditty Perry and the Perry family. The
Perrys have serious concerns regarding the site which Rocky
Mountain Natural Gas (RMNG) has identified as its preferred
location for its proposed compressor station to be located near
Carbondale. Upon completing a personal inspection of the
alternative sites, I share the Perrys' concern regarding the RMNG
preferred site and find the arguments compelling which favor Site
3 on the North Thompson property.
The visual prominence of Site 1, as well as Site 2, and the
lack of topographical features to mitigate the environmental
impact of the compressor station make these sites much less
desirable from an aesthetic standpoint. A compressor station,
which I understand will be at least 20 feet in height, placed on
either Site 1 or 2 will be directly in the down -valley view of
the Will and Judy Perry residence. Due to its open placement,
the compressor facility's presence will be overwhelming and it
will negatively affect the valley in general. In short, Sites 1
and 2 are significantly inferior to Site 3 in providing natural,
topographical mitigation of environmental impacts. The visual
impact of the station can be virtually eliminated if placed on
Site 3.
In reviewing Steve Shute's June 9, 1989, letter and in
discussing this matter with Steve, he contends that a primary
goal is to remove the compressor station as far as possible from
dwellings. From my perspective as a layman (and certainly not as
a sound engineer) it would appear that the noise generated on
Site 3 would be substantially absorbed by the ridges on either
side, as well as the trees in which the station could be
effectively "tucked". By contrast, noise generated from the
compressor facility on Sites 1 and 2 would be unobstructed and
• •
perhaps amplified by a megaphonic effect as it moves up the
valley toward the Perry residence. Mr. Shute's contention that
distance is the primary consideration in analyzing the noise
impact may not be valid in this situation where unique
topographical considerations exist. We would all acknowledge
that the noise impact is a significant factor, and I submit that
this issue must be studied more carefully as it relates to the
site selection.
It would appear that RMNG's preference for Site 1 is largely
motivated by cost considerations. Although Steve Shute has
explained to me the basis for the assertion that Site 3 would
result in higher costs for pipe installation, it does not appear
that RMNG has provided an adequate comparison of road
construction costs. The road costs will obviously be
considerably greater for Sites 1 and 2 than for Site 3. In any
event, while relative costs might be a deciding factor with other
issues being equal, here there are overriding environmental
concerns which favor Site 3.
On behalf of the Perry family, I urge you to carefully
consider the significant environmental disruption which
construction of the proposed compressor station facility on
either Site 1 or 2 and its accompanying access road will have in
comparison to Site 3 with its natural mitigation features. As
you know, the North Thompson Four Mile Mineral and Land Co. has
agreed to cooperate with RMNG in establishing the compressor
station on Site 3. I am confident that Site 3 can be made
available to RMNG without significant delay.
As I am sure you can understand, the Perry family is
extremely concerned that placement of the compressor facility on
Site 1 will cause irreparable, aesthetic damages, while severely
reducing the value of their adjoining property. I believe that
your careful consideration of these factors will lead you to
conclude that RMNG preferred Site 1, as well as Sites 2 and 4 are
inappropriate for the proposed facility. Please call me if you
wish to discuss these matters further. Members of the Perry
family and I are available at any time to meet with you or
members of your staff on site or otherwise as you desire. Your
favorable consideration of the concerns expressed herein will be
appreciated.

re Hooky ountain `atural Gas corepressor station
Hello:
I arr_ writing this letter to express my strong disapproval of the
proposed site for the :-i NG Co. compressor station known as site 1 and
to encourae site 3 as the best option for the corepressor location.
I feel the decision of where to locate should be based on several fac-
tors, of which some are being downplayed by the gas company in order
to promote the site of their choice. The factors are sound levels and
how far and how strong they travel in the surrounding environment, the
visual impact of an industrial facility in an agricultural and esLen-
tiaily undeveloped area, the length of the road needed to access the
site, and finally a true accounting of the costs at each site, not only
to the :Jas company but to the adjacent landowners. 1 wish to note con-
siderations on all these factors.
On Th'..:,rsday June 29, 1989, RI,.NG conducted sound tests at both sites

across the creek, next to the road, approximately 750 feet from the
noise source. Test Site 2, on line towards my home, but short of it
by 450 feet is approximately 3,000 feet from the noise source. Even
at this distance the hi7.h end noise levels were 42 dy. 2urthemore sound

carries uphill easily. Hearing this compressor at any time under
any conditions is unacceptable. By the way of comparison, on the
data sheet labeled Crystal Junction (Site a) location 1 is approxi-
mately 250 feet from the noise source and in line of site to the
compressor. Yet the trees at this site block and absorb the noise
considerably compared to the reading 700 feet away at site L. Lo-
cation 2 at the top of the saddle is just beyond the adjacent land-
owners property and is approximately 500 feet and out of line of
site from the noise source while location 3 is 700 feet from the
source and below the hill which obscures site 3. This location is
the only nearby house and the trees and hill filter out the high
frequency sounds entirely while dramatically lowering the sounds
considering the distance from the source. It is my contention that
with some careful engineering and construction, the gas company
could eliminate any sounds at the residence entirely. All of these
tests at site 3 are closer to the source than the tests at site 1,
yet they are lower• on the average than the tests at site 1. Further-
more it is entirely unacceptable to pick site 1 based on the sound
when a comparison is made at the property lines. At the property
border of site 3, the sounds are considerably less than at the prop-
erty border at site 1 which is only a short distance beyond the bal-
anced readings taken to set the baseline for the test. ',°:ith no sound
mitigation at site 1, this is a taking of private property rights
with no compensation. I feel that the cost of sound mitigation must
be represented in the overall cost of the project.
;ext there is the visual factor to consider in t -e decision be-
tween site 1 !.311c1 site 3. 'The two sites are very differnt in topo-
graphy, orientation and vegetation. lite 1 is an open meadow on
ground located below and in line of sight of our home with about a
mile of visible exposure to the road. Uses of the meadow in the past
have been raising hay and skiing. A station at this site would give
the area an industrial apoearence as the proposal is for a thirty by
sixty by twenty foot high building(metal) with tanks, lines, vents,
fncing, and access road. .i ht lights would become visible out our
living room window and the use of our private 'ground 3S a tubing and
skiing area would :ain become an issue with the open_nof a road
across the creek.
Site 3 is a very wooded area with a lor;;e number of-rinyon lines

and Juniper to screen the facility and absorb the noise, with little
expense to the gas company. ,aith proper location, visual impact on
the road is minimal. This site is vastly superior to site 1 from a
visual standpoint and the cost of building at site 1 should include
aesthetic fencing, berms, and vegetation to begin to compare with
site 3. Lpstrearn and downstream there are no homes anywhere close to
line of sight and the site is adjacent to an existing above ground
pipeline station, which makes it a more acceptable use of the area.
This site is private ,round and the owners have verbally agreed they
would sell the .round and provide easements for the gas company, yet
the gas company has not bothered to make a formal enquiry about the
site. owners surrounding the site, they agree this is en acceptable
use of the land, even with no noise mitigation. ',o cost analysis can
be valid without such basic information as what the land will cost.
A third factor is the length of the road at each site. There is
no cuestion site 3 is a better site with considerably less road. To
get to site 1, the road has to wind down valley from the county road
and curve across the ;ulley in order to avoid crossing private land.
There is a much longer road involved here.
final consideration is cost which I have already touched on. The
proposed 3 to 10 inch line is shown on the was company nap as already
going into Carbondale so it seems the cost of locating at site 3 in—
volves the pipe only to and from the line. .n independent cost analy—
sis of the two sites would be useful as I feel the gas company has
always preferred site 1. I strongly feel they have not taken into
account the cost to us as landowners within a few hundred feet of
their installation, the depreciation of our land values. They will
effect a sizeable number of acres, which should be balanced a.,ainst
the costs they claim are being saved at site 1. This irnportant factor
is being ignored. At site 3, the private landowners that cur_ent,y
own the site have agreed that the station is an acceptable use of the
area and if the noise can be mitigated the adjacent Lando,ler is not
effected.
I strongly feel a cost comparison Sof the two sites for mitiNation
of sound and visual impacts at the property lines would show site
3 to be superior to site 1. If site 1 is chosen, I feel the commisioners
should request mitigation of the sound and visual impact to levels
equal to the impact at the property boundaries of the neighbors at

site 3. Decibel levels should be at or below that recorded at the
neighbors property boundary and visually the entire project should
be screened in an aesthetic manner. Thankyou for your interest and
time in this matter.

RE: Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Compressor Station
4, 1989
JUL U 6 1989
Commissioners: COUNTY C01,, 9!SS!ONIERS
I wish to present a written statement of my views concerning the
placement of the Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Company compressor station
in the Edgerton Creek drainage. At the Commissioners hearing on July
3rd RMNG presented a detailed description of their planned improvements
which include the placement of two compressors and a shop building on
the gas line. Descriptions of the two proposed sites (sites 1/2 and
site 3) were included. RMNG engineers in Denver favor the placement
of the compressors directly on the gas line at site 1/2. This is the
natural preference of sites when only cost and company specifics of
location are considered. Anyone who has seen this site and its relation-
ship to the open basin -can understand some problems with this proposal.
As the nearest resident to site 1/2 I object to this proposal.
Our residence, built in the 1880's) would view this large compressor
station and shop as part of the principle view from our livingroom.
I do not wish to spent the rest of my life looking daily at this facility.
The Perry property in this Edgerton Creek basin adjoins the BLM land
of site 1/2. The compressor would be located near the eastern boundary.
The compressor facility at site 1/2 would visually dominate the entire
lower basin (BLM and private) and sound levels in the lower basin would
be unacceptable. Sount test levels at the house were less than expected
but we do not wish to have any artificial increase in the ambient sound
levels under any conditions or at any time. Sound pollution from this
compressor facility should not be imposed on any part of this basin.
There has been no statement of intended land use by the BLM at
site 1/2. The compressor access road is designed to include parking
for user access to the BLM lands to the south of this area. A parking
lot or unrestricted use of the lower meadow directly adjacent to the
Perry property would create several problems. Tresspassers sledding
and tubing on the old CRMS ski hill have been a problem. This is
particularly frightening due to the liability aspects. No available
parking, signs, a deep gully, and barbwire fences have helped reduce
this problem. Accessable adjacent parking would renew this problem.
In the spring, summer and fall, dust and noise from motorcycles
and ATV's would be seen and heard over the basin and possibly at the
house as it views this BLM land. A parking area or access of this
remoteness nearby to Carbondale would attract the kegger and bonfire
highschool crowd whose use of Thompson Creek Road is plain from the huge
piles of fire debris and trash. There is also a safety consideration
as drivers who have been drinking descend Sweet Hill. Drinking above
this steep section should be taken seriously and not encouraged. I
do not want to see an increase in this nuisance.
If indeed the parking attracts people, vandalism of the compressor
facility might occur. Outdoor lighting may need to be installed for
security reasons. The representatives of RMNG have stated that there
would be no night lighting when questioned on this point. I would
need some guarantee of this. The nearest lights visible from the
residence are east of Carbondale. I would not like to have the RMNC�,
compressor lights dominate the night view. Tticd1737777V,
!': JUL 121989
•
• •
The BLM land at site 1/2 and to the south is and always has been
accessable on foot. There has been considerable use of this area by
hikers, school groups, and especially hunters. The beauty and remoteness
of this area has been preserved because of the motor limited accessibility.
The proposed compressor sitel/2 must be viewed as it affects the
whole Edgerton Creek basin. Hogbacks to the north and south require that
all accessability to the upper Thompson Creek areas pass through this
corridor. Large numbers of elk and deer pass through this basin in the
spring and fall. All recreational users of Spring Gulch, Marion, and
Upper Thompson Creek pass through this unspoiled basin.
To locate the compressor facility at site 1/2 would be to sacrifice
the whole basin. The largeness of the buildings (plus plans for future
building) could not be effectively concealed in this open area. The noise
will carry great distances. Opening the area to parking would be an
undesirable nuisance. The serenity and beauty of Edgerton Creek would
be lost to development. This does not need to happen if site 3 is given
full consideration and effective treatment.
I would not object to locating the RMNG compressor facility at location
site 3, adjacent to the present gas facility. It should not impose on the
nearest resident whose property is in a small bowl behind a hill from the
site. The compressor facility would be visually screened by mature pinon
and juniper trees from the county road and would not be visible at all from
the nearest residence. Sounds produced from the compressor would be partially
dampened by the existing vegetation and would need to be dampened mechanically
in the low ranges. Sound engineering technology is sophisticated enough
to do this. The additional costs of building on this site are small and
reasonable compared with the "costs" of forever spoiling the entire basin
at site 1/2.
Please give the locating of the RMNG compressor facility your full
and very careful consideration.
Thank you,
udy -Perry

GRAND JUNCT IN DISTRICT OFFICE 764 HORIZON DRIVE GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO 81506
BLM REQUESTS COMMENTS ON PIPELINE PROPOSAL
The Bureau of Land Management is considering a right-of-way amendment
proposal by the Rocky Mountain National Gas Company. The proposal would
require the addition of a 10 -inch natural gas pipeline to the company's 6 -inch
existing pipeline. Also needed would be a compressor station to supply gas to
areas near Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Aspen, Snowmass and Basalt.
An Environmental Assessment has been proposed to identify the
environmental impacts of the proposal in two alternative locations for the
compressor station.
Both proposed compressor station sites are located in the same vicinity
along Garfield County Road 108, approximately 4 miles west of Carbondale.
Public comments are requested and can be submitted until August 17.
Comments should be sent to the Glenwood Springs Resource Area Office located at
50629 Highway 6 and 24.
