SITEREHABILITATIONPLAN RECEIVEM
PARACHUTE CREEK GAS PLANT Miak x 3 zrrij?
The Parachute Creek Gas Plant (Plant) will be located on rangeland owned Uy ilittirm Production RMT
Company (Williams). The subject site appears to lie in the Villa Grove soil series, The Villa Grove series
consists of deep, well-drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt.
The soil should be stripped to a depth of approximately twelve (12) inches and stockpiled at the facility
margins. The maximum depth of stockpiled shall be 24" or less to preserve soil viability. Topsoil stockpiles
will be seeded as described below in the section on seeding methods and times.
RECLAMATION
Two phases of reclamation are planned. Soil stockpiles and areas disturbed by construction that will not be
utilized during Plant operation will be reclaimed immediately following Plant construction. Final reclamation
will be performed within one year of Plant closure and removal. The objectives of reclamation will be as
follows:
1. Stabilization of the disturbed areas will be conducted by providing wind and water erosion
control to reduce soil loss.
2. Utilize the prescribed seed mixtures and additional vegetation practices as described below to
establish a seltsustaining vegetative rangeland coverfor cattle pasture use.
FACILITY AND STRUCTURE REMOVAL
The Plant will be abandoned in accordance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
regulations. Equipment will be removed from the site.
BACKFILLING. GRADING. AND RE.CONTOURING
Reclaimed areas will be sloped to 3:1 or less.
Soil salvaged during Plant construction activities will be redistributed over the soil surface after subsoil has
been replaced and additional backfilling; grading, and re-contouring steps have been completed as
described below. Soil will be replaced by using front-end loaders, trackhoes, and dozers. Soil will not be
replaced when it is excessively wet and frozen so as to jeopardize soil structure.
SOIL AMENDMENTS AND FERTILIZERS
Based on testing of area soils for well pad reclamation, soils are expected to have a high sodium
adsorption ratio (SAR) and sodium content. Also, Nitrogen and Phosphorous nutrient levels are below
recommended levels for plant growth.
Calciumsulfate(gypsum)shouldbeappliedatarateof2l.6tonsperacre{ootofsurfacearea. lnaddition
to gypsum, an application of wood chips at 130 cubic yards per acre of soil surface should be applied,
Wood chips shall not contain more then 15% saw dust. The gypsum and wood chips should be tilled into to
a depth of twelve inches. Also, 350 pounds per acre of 18-46-0 (Diammonium Phosphate) fertilizer should
be broadcast and tilled in to the top four inches.
SEEDBED PREPARATION/SOIL T!LLAGE
Seedbed preparation and soil tillage will be completed after the application of subsoil, topsoil, and any soil
amendments. Soil tillage will be to a minimum depth of 4" utilizing a disk, chisel plow, or harrow. Seedbed
preparation will also include removal of coarse fragments (rock material) that exceed 35% to 40% of the
soil surface as well as rocks 8" in diameter that occupy more than 10% of the soil surface.
SEEDING METHODS AND TIMES
Soil stockpiles and areas disturbed by construction that will not be utilized during Plant operation will be
seeded. lfseedingisperformedinthespring,itwill beaccomplishedbyMayl5; iffallseedingis
performed it will be completed after August 30 and before the soil freezes. Seeding efforts will consist of
drill seeding with a rangeland drill to a planting depth of /o" lo %" on slopes 3:1 or flatter. Broadcast
seeding followed by harrowing or hand raking to lightly cover the seed with soil will be used on slopes
steeper than 3:1 , or on areas inaccessible for drill seeding equipment.
2
All areas to be reclaimed will be mulched no later lhan Zihours after seeding with a weed{ree straw or
grass hay material. Grass hay mulch will be applied at 1 %tons per acre, or straw mulch will be applied at
2 tons per acre. Mulch material will be crimped into the soil surface with a commercial mulch crimper, a
straight disc, or bulldozer tracks if too steep to otherwise crimp mulch in place.
SEED MIXTURES
Please see Table 1 for the seed mixtures.
EROSION CONTROL BLANKETS
No erosion control blankets are anticipated at this time due to minimization of slopes.
WEED CONTROL PLAN
A qualified person will inspect the location on a regular basis. Based on this inspection, methods,
materials, and timing of weed control measures will be specified.

RE: Williams stlP for storage, office and Natural Gas Plant
Dear Ms. Lyon:
please find the following information provided by williams Production RMT
response to your letter dated January 28,2002'
1.Williams is not proposing a new or expanded access onto a County Road' We plan to access existing
roads.
See Appendix A for an Impact Statement consistent with 5.03.08 including a specific plan for site
rehabilitation.
williams conducted a site visit with Mr. John Broderick, the local wildlife officer representing the
Colorado Division of Wildlife on February 19,2002. Mr. Broderick stated that he did not recognize
any wildlife issues that would prevent the site from being developed as a natural gas processing plant'
Mr. Broderick stated that when he is contacted by Garfield County regarding this issue, he will
provide the appropriate supporting statement regarding wildlife'
An air permit application was prepared and submitted to APCD on December 20' 2001' Williams
will not initiate construction of ury air emission sources until we have the approved permit in-hand
(expected by May 2oO2). The permit application is attached as Appendix B.
We will have the building permit in-hand prior to initiating constructing activities. Sewage disposal
will be handled by the existing septic system located at the "Man Camp'" A new septic system will
be constructed at the gas Plant.
Dust will be controlled on Williams land by suppressing when required using water trucks'
No precise criteria are available in the ITE manual that outlines a specific methodology for
calculating the amount of light vehicle trips associated with this type of facility' After verbal
clarification and confirmation on 2llllO2 wiih tvtark Bean, Garfield County Building and Planning
Department, williams would like to offer a further detailed breakdown based on experience and
empirical observations that defines this type of vehicle traffic.

It is pertinent to note that the "Man Camp" access road, located on Williams properfy, is the main
paved entry road leading to the proposed plant entrance. This road currently experiences light and
heavy industrial traffic due to current Williams operations in the immediate area.
Generated noise will be perceptible at the property boundaries, but will comply with Colorado
Department of Health and Environment IndustrialNoise Standards.
The proposed natural gas pipeline associated with the Parachute Creek Gas Plant (Plant) Project is
known as the DeBeque Lateral Pipeline Project (Pipeline). The Pipeline originates 5 miles north of
the town of Parachute at the site of Williams' proposed Plant. This Plant and Pipeline point of origin
is located on Williams-owned property totaling approximately 1,800 acres. The Pipeline is 17.3 miles
in length and terminates at a tie-in with TransColorado's pipeline I mile west of DeBeque. The inlet
pipeline will be 20" in diameter for the Parachute Creek Gas Plant facility will be approximately
1,000 lf in length connecting the plant to an existing Williams l6" pipeline. The new 20" pipeline
will meet all Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) design specifications and will have a
maximum allowable operating pressure of 1,250 psig. The outlet pipeline will travel 17.3 miles frorn
the plant to a tie-in with Trans Colorado's pipeline approximately 1 mile west of DeBeque (Please see
attached pipeline plan for specific routing. The new 20" pipeline will meet all Federal Department of
Transportation (DOT) design specifications and will have a maximum allowable operating pressure
of 1,250 psig. This routing while in Garfield County will cross private land in addition to Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT) land as described below.

a. Majority of the pipeline follows the I-70 and frontage road (highway 6 & 24) corridor, in
ROW that has already been disturbed and constructed by these two existing roadways.
b. The company's proposed pipeline alignment facilitates the least amount of environmental
impact by utilizing the I-70 corridor and avoiding two Colorado River crossings - and the
subsequent disturbance of wetlands required by these river crossings.
c. Majority of pipeline will utilize Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) R.O.W.
(approximately 10 miles). CDOT's specific objective is to make their R.O.W. available
for pipeline and utility projects of this nature.
d. Approximately 2.5 miles of R.O.W. is on BLM public lands. Of these 2.5 miles,
approximately 1 mile is located on BLM and cDoT R.O.W - simultaneously.
e. Williams has informed, contacted and is working with all the appropriate local, county,
state, and federal regulatory bodies whom have jurisdiction over this project. These
entities include:
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) - Glenwood Springs Field Office
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) - Grand Junction Field Office
4.
f. Communication with the BLM and CDOT has required Williams to perform cursory
archaeological, paleontology, biological, and environmental studies to ensure that no
adverse impacts to the environment result from construction of this pipeline. Initial
results have been favorable reflecting little impact on habitat or cultural resources.
g. Barring unforeseen delays, Williams anticipates construction to begin in June of this year
with pipeline construction ending in October and plant construction ending in November.
The initial estimated number of employees for the existing Man Camp facility is 15. The maximum
projected number of employees for the existing Man Camp facility is 25. The initial estimated
number of employees forthe proposed Plant is 4. The maximum projected number of employees for
the proposed Plant is 8.
The existing SUP's assigned to the previous properry owner are attached as Appendix C. Resolution
81-11 was approved on January 12, l98l for a crude shale oil upgrading facility. Resolution 81-14
was also approved on January 12,1981authorizing a construction camp, access road, and temporary
pipeline as accessory uses to a crude shale oil upgrading facility. A third resolution (81-100),
approved on April20, 1981 extended the authorized activity for crude shale upgrading plant. A fourth
resolution (92-l0l), approved on November 9, 1992 allows the "Man Camp" to be operated as a
resort.
As previously stated, a cistern will be filled on a regular basis in order to meet the domestic water
supply needs at the proposed Plant. The existing "Man Camp" utilizes a water well for domestic
water supply needs. Current planned uses of water are approximately 170 gallons per day for
domestic use at the "Man Camp" and 30 gallons per day at the plant. City (Parachute) water provided
to the Williams Parachute field office construction yard will be used as the legal source.
The site plan has been revised (attached as Appendix D) as requested to include site improvemetrts
such as proposed access and parking areas, pipelines, storage areas, improvements, etc.
Processed Natural Gas Liquids and produced process water will be generated as a result of the
operation and maintenance of the Plant. Processed Natural Gas Liquids will be generated and stored
on location in industry approved storage tanks. From these tanks, lS-wheel semi trucks will haul
these liquids to Denver andlor Lisbon, Utah where they are purchased and further processed to make
refined petroleum products. Two semi trucks per day will haul these liquids off site.
Produced process water will initially be stored on site in industry-approved storage tanks. This
process water will be hauled from these storage tanks, off site, by l0-wheel "Bobtail" trucks to two
existing Williams evaporation ponds for disposal. The ponds are permitted and approved by the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
(1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering standards
are currently in place at the "Man Camp" and shall be constructed as previously described in
conjunction with the proposed use.
(2) Due to the small increase in traffic volume projected by the proposed use (see Table 1), street
improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the proposed use and to
provide safe, convenient access to the use are currently in place.
(3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses of land
through installation of a perimeter fence and by location of intensively utilized areas, access
points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect the existing character of the rangeland.
Erosion control measures such as silt fences will be installed around the perimeter of the Plant
site during construction.

PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
(REVISED AND AMENDED FROM MAY 13,2002)
REQUEST: A request for review of a Special Use Permit to allow for Natural
Resource Processing, Offices, Equipment storage, Product Storage
and Transfer facilities, and Pipeline Construction. The Applicant
also requests that the new Special Use Permit void, vacate and
terminate four existing Special Use Permits currently applying to
the site.
APPLICANT: Williams Production RMT Company
LOCATION: Application is being made for a tract of land about five miles North
of Parachute on CR 215, adlacent to and just north of the existing
American Soda processing and industrial area. (Shown and
referred two as "Sale Area One" in application reference
materials). The Application also encompasses a proposed pipeline
facility that extends from the site to just West of the Town of
DeBeque in Mesa County.
SITE DATA: The site had previously been utilized as part of Union Oil
Company's ManCamp facility, consisting of employee housing
buildings and an RV park, along with related water, sewer and
security structures. The tract is approximately 1370 acres in size.
The larger site area presently contains a remaining office, meeting
and vehicle storage facility, an un-reclaimed area of RV hook-ups,
concrete pads from previous buildings, and land utilized for
pasture. Parachute Creek bisects the property.
ACCESS: Access is currently provided and proposed offof CR 215.
EXISTING ZONING: Resource Lands - Lower Valley Floor
SURROUNDING ZONING: Resource Lands - All categories. Existing uses are
Industrial and Agricultural.
I
I. INTRODUCTION
This application for a Special Use Permit encompasses both a set of proposed natural
resource processing uses on a defined site and a pipeline corridor.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
THE PARACHUTE CREEK GAS PLANT
The Parachute Creek Gas Plant is proposed as a central collection and processing facility
to refine natural gas from the region to the standards and quality necessary for
conveyance to inierstate pipelines. The plant will provide increased production and
transportation capacity. It will include three natwal gas compressors, three refrigeration
co*pr"rsors, two electrical generation units, one refrigeration process skid, one amine
pro..5 skid, one office/shop building, three natural gas byproduct liquids storage tanks,
and truck load-out facilities for transporting the natural gas liquids by-products
periodically to other points of sale. Two semi-truck loads, per day, on average, is
projected as the shipment frequency for by-products. Other truck traffic will be
generated for water hauling and disposal, maintenance and employee traffic.
The site, previously owned by Union Oil Company, has been the recipient of several
Special Use Permits in the past relating to employee housing, retort operations and lastly
a wildlife hunting resort facility. The applicant proposes that all previous Special Use
Permits be made void and vacated as part of an approval for the proposed uses..
THE DEBEQUE LATERAL PIPELINE PROJECT
The proposed new 20 inch pipeline originates at the Parachute Gas Plant facility and
extends 17.3 miles to a tie-in with the TransColorado Pipeline one mile west of the Town
of DeBeque. The pipeline departs the Williams tract and traverses property owned by
American Soda to the south, then crosses several private parcels as it skins the Town of
Parachute to the west, where it utilizes CDOT Right of Way for the majority of the
remaining distance. CDOT R.O.W. comprises 10.2 miles of the total. Several sections
traverse g.I-.1\rI. lands for which an Environmental Assessment was prepared resulting in
a tentative Finding of No Significant Impact with conditions. The remaining few miles
are in Mesa County, and a Conditional Use Permit is being sought under their process
congruently with this request.
III. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan of 2000 addresses Natural Resource Extraction
issues in Section III, "Goals, Objectives, Policies and Programs." Natural Resource
2
Extraction is covered in Section 9. A context for Section 9 is provided as a general Goal
and as background:
"Garfield County recognizes that under Colorado Lan, the surface ond mineral right
interests have certain legal rights and privileges, including the right to extract and
develop these interests. Furthermore, private property owners also hwe certain legal
rights and privileges, including the right to have the minerol estate developed in a
reasonable monner and to have adverse land use impacts mitigated."
Under "Policies: Section 9.1" the following language is specifically appropriate:
"Garfield County, to the extent legally possible, will require adequate mitigation to
address the impacts o/'mineral extraction on adjacent londowners. These measures moy
include the following:
A. Londscaping and screening;
B. Modification of phasing or orea to be mined;
C. ktad,way improvements and signage;
D. Sofe ond fficient access routes;
E. Drainage improvements to protect surfoce and ground'v,toter"
To the extent that these areas of concern, and related areas of dust, odors, fumes;
alteration of neighborhood character and impacts on property values are addressed and
mitigation committed to, this application is in general compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
IV. REFERRALS:
The complex and multi-jurisdictional nature of this proposed project has resulted in a
series of related referrals and requests for comment. These include the Conditional Use
Permit application in Mesa County and the Environmental Assessment process with the
B.L.M. Garfield County conducted its normal agency review process for a Special Use
Permit application as well.
The recommendation for a Continuance, which was granted by the BOCC in the Hearing
on May 13,2002, resulted in additional time for the applicant to clariff and modifu the
proposal, and to provide supplementary information. The Supplementary information
was then referred by staffto key referral agencies for the remaining areas of concem.
Information from those first outreach efforts and supplemental efforts, where known and
documented, is incorporated into these findings and recommendations. The following are
summaries of comments received specific to Garfield County's referral process For The
May 136 Hearing, the letters are attached and referenced by page number:
Resource Engineering Inc. - Michael J. Erion, P.E. May 1, 2002. Page (10 ) At the
request of the County, Resource Engineering undertook a detailed analysis of the
proposed project. Concerns centered around area of wastewater, water, and pipeline
location. This review confirmed that wastewater treatment plans are probably adequate,
and that the site allows for modification and replacement if necessary. There is concem
about actual decreed well allocations for water and augmentation plans, where Williams
is not mentioned as a deeded interest. Sale of property, division of some interests with
American Soda, and resolution of adequate physical and legal supply are issues that are
suggested for resolution. Pipeline issues include a potential404 permit for crossing
Parachute Creek, however the county is in receipt of the following letter:
Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers - Ken Jacobson.. March 2712002
Page (24 ) Verifies issuance of a Nationwide General Permit Number 12, valid until
March 27,2004,#2002275111 for this project.
Gar{ietd County Road and Bridge - Kraig Kuberry. April 29,2002 page (22 ) Site
distance, location and landing area are all adequate at the existing/proposed location for
access.
Grand Valley Fire Protection District - David A. Blair, Fire Chief April 3012002
Page (23 ) "...an approved fire suppression plan must be part of any construction and
operations permit process." The GVFPD would expect the plant to meet all NFPA and
UBCruFC requirements and would not be seeking any additional restrictions.
Recommend approval.
Garlietd County Vegetative Management - Steve Anthony, Director May 1,2002
Page (20 )Responses include concems that CR 215 is becoming a locus of weed spread.
Suggests weed specific inventory of sites to be disturbed, and a plan to address those
specifics, including acres to be disturbed and specific reclamation based on locational
issues and specific species.
Colorado Division of Wildlife - Perry Will, Area Wildlife Manager May 1' 2002
Page (18 ) The D.O.W. has concerns that the proposed facility will support and reinforce
regional drilling efforts that they have seen to have a negative impact on wildlife, and are
concerned about the lack of cumulative analysis. They desire a reclamation plan to
include, where appropriate, attention to wildlife cover. They question water rights for
irrigation. They have specific concerns for nest areas along Parachute Creek and request
a survey ofthat area. They support fencing the plant site.
Town of Parachute - Juanita Satterfield February 111 2002 Page (14 ) Concerns
about proximity to Parachute Creek and possible contamination. Concerns about air
quality and monitoring, with numerous specific requests for air pollution information.
Concems about traffic and safety concems, times of day for transport.
Lower Valley Trail Group, Kit Lyon, Steering Committee May 8,2002 Page (13 )
Expressing a desire to work with applicant on possible trail location and support issues.

REFERRAL FINDINGS SUBSEQUENT TO MAY I3,2OO2
Letter received from Sid Lindaur, dated May 31,2002. Page (B)
The letter expresses concems about air and water quality issues, and concentrates on
noise issues, suggesting that the county adopt standards at the 30-40 decibel levels for the
area.
Letter received from Gerhardt and Sandra Aldersea, dated June 5, 2002 Prye (16)
The letter expressed concerns and questions about air squality, water consumption and
quality, traffic issues and noise.
Letter and Attachment received from David R. Cesark, Williams Enerry Services
dated June 4,2002 Page (ff)
The letter states that the attached Reclamation Plan will be applied to pipeline
construction and reclamation in Garfield County.
Letter received from Resource Engineering Inc., dated June 12, 2002 Prye (29)
Technical review and consultation for the county. The letter summarizes resolution of
remaining water and site design/reclamation issues.
Other Referals and Findings
The B.L.M. Environmental Assessment approves the final corridor choice, and contains
stipulations, some of which are appropriate to Garfield County review although they
apply only to B.L.M. lands:
"4. Construction activities shall be conducted so as not to disturb more than the
minimum area needed for construction of the buried pipeline."
"6. All disturbed areas shall be contoured to blend with the natural topography."
*7. All soil erosion associated with the operation must be stabilized to a condition at
least equal to that present before disturbance."
Mesa County is reviewing this application for their Conditional Use Permit, focusing
only on the pipeline. They are a month away from developing a staff final review. Their
primary concerns to date are geotechnical issues involving the boring process. They are
very concerned about visual impacts in the area of the shared border between the two
counties as it has high scenic values. To date, they are pleased with the applicants'
decision to bore rather than disturb the surface in that area. (Telephonic communication
with Jim Hinderaker, Mesa County Department of Planning and Development, May 7,
2002)
Site Visit Observations
Staff conducted a site visit on April 25,2002 resulting in the following observations:
1. The plant site is well buffered due to its size for the proposed uses being applied for.
Any impingement on neighboring properties or uses will be minimal at worst and
probably non-existent in terms of noise, dust, odor, visual impact or impact on
neighboring property values. The proposed use is similar to historic use and neighboring
use.
2. The existing access point on CR 215 was developed by Union Oil Company to handle
larger volumes of traffic than are anticipated for this use. The site allows for intemal
traffic movement and separation of activities for parking, loading and maintenance.
3. Site disturbance and characteristics include un-reclaimed RV park series of hook-up
facilities, left-over pads from previous structures, and an unused hillside water tank and
some abandoned or dormant infrastructure. Site maintenance is fair, with evidence of
recent brush removal and attention to lawn and road areas.
4. The riparian area of Parachute Creek and its watercourse bisects the site, and calls for
special attention to erosion issues and disturbance, storm water run-off, wildlife nesting
and migration pattems, wildfire control, and contamination concerns.
SUPPLIMENTAL INFORMATION REVIEW
There were three primary areas of concern expressed by staff as an argument for
continuance of the Hearing on May 13,2002.
"1. A detailed Storm Water Run-Off and Drainage Plan has not yet been submitted.
The nature of the materials stored on site and the proximity of the site to parachute
Creek demand a level of detail in commitment to containment. The applicant has
referenced verbally in narrative portions of their application some of the standards
that they plan to incorporate and adhere to, but has yet to submit the schematic that
would demonstrate how storm water, drainage, levels of containment and related
issues would fit together and be placed on site."
While the applicant has yet to produce a schematic diagram of the plant site showing
drainage issues, run-off concerns and related issues; the applicant has produced a highly
detailed list of specifications and compliance concerns that must be addressed to comply
with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regulations and a Spill
Prevention and Control Countermeasures Plan as required by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, which they are to have in place and approved within
180 days of operation. Staff finds that the level of detail and range of issues addressed by
these commitments to construction practices and ongoing monitoring adequate to meet
the concerns expressed in "1." Above. Resource Engineering Inc., consulting to the
County, concurs.
"2. The applicant has submitted an incomplete Site Reclamation Plan. While
accounting for re-seeding and monitoring of construction disturbances and
committing to a Weed Control Plann the applicant does not address the end of the
usefrrl life of the processing facilities or pipeline, and plans to reclaim these sites
once processing and/or transportation cease to be a use and the SUP is terminated.
This information is necessary for the BOCC to make a determination on what, if
any, security arrangements will be required to guarantee future site reclamation.
Furthermore, the applicant is requesting a waiver and termination of previous SUPs
that applied to the site which still contains older and now unused infrastructure that
have current reelamation issues attached to them (water tank, roads, pipelines)
from previous uses granted under those SUP's. A Site Reclamation Plan should also
address reclamation of those inherited facilities with specified time commitments."
The applicant has submitted a proposal for pipeline construction and reclamation that
meets the needs both for pipeline construction and reclamation and plant area
construction and reclamation after construction, and upon ending the useful life of both
facilities upon terminating the Special Use Permit. Garfield County Vegetative
Management staff concur with the overall plans and strategies submitted in general, and
will work with the applicant for a specific approach for Garfield County and sufftcient
assurances for performance.
The applicant has further made assurances that granted a Special Use Permit which
terminates all previous Special Use Permits, that they will accept incorporation of
language from those previous permits requiring site reclamation for activities prior to
their purchase of the site, specifically water tanks, roads, concrete pads and structures and
facilities which no longer have operational utility or which may not be assets on future
sale.
*3. A variety of concerns and questions about water and water related issues have
surfaced as a result of the recently finished review period from a variety of sources.
These issues are of a complex enough nature that a last minute attempt at
clarification and submittals may not be feasible and probably wouldn't be prudent
in terms of the ability of county staff and consultants to review and veri$ new
information. Staff suggests that a report addressing the following areas will be
necessary to allow informed decision-making at a subsequent hearing date:
A. A letter from the Town of Parachute approving and guaranteeing in perpetuity
use of municipal water provided through a tap at the current Williams office at 1058
CR 215, or any other tap, for uses in filling a cistern, and any other uses at the
proposed site, should the applicant desire to provide potable water at the plant site
in this manner.
The applicant now proposes not to utilize this source of water
f,4r/,/A
7
B. A detailed explanation of current irrigation water rights, and any ditch
agreements, held by the current property owner, and potential uses of that water, or
limitations on use, on site.
The applicant has proposed adequate alternative sources of water for dust control during
construction, and pipeline testing.
C. A detailed explanation of source and rights for water to charge the pipeline for
testing purposes.
The applicant has proposed altemative adequate sources of water for pipeline testing
D. A detailed explanation of sources for water for dust control during construction
of the plant and pipeline facilities and for maintenance of the site and reclamation
efforts.
The applicant has proposed alternative adequate sources of water for dust control and
reclamation.
E. A detailed explanation of well and water rights for any wells on site, any wells
shared with American Soda or other neighbors, and a history of the deeds and
transactions for such water rights and their current status and ownership. The
object of this section of the report is an assurance of legal and adequate supply for
all uses implied and proposed in the Special Use Permit application for any uses of
well water."
The applicant has detailed the relationship with American Soda, and shown proof that an
adequate supply from Unocal Well Number 6 will be available for anticipated site uses
for the duration of the Special Use Permit for potable and irrigation purposes within the
/1,,1,*/ *';"-swater demands proposed.
V. GARFIELD COUNTY ZONING RESOLUTION
Section 3.10.04 defines "IJses, special:: for Resources Lands - Gentle Slopes and Lower
Valley Floor. "
" Industrial support facilities which would include: moterial handling, pumping facilities,
electric distribution, warehouse facilities/staging areos, storage oreas, water
impoundments, access routes, utility lines, utility substations, pipelines: extraction,
processing, accessory uses to the obove..."
The application falls within these definitions.

Section 5.03, Conditional and Special Uses
"As listed under the Zone District Regulations, conditional and special uses shall
conform to all requirements listed thereunder and elsewhere in this Resolution plus the
foll owing r e q uir ement s :
(1) Utilities odequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted
engineering standords and approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall either
be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use (A97-60)"
These issues have been addressed, and subject to final contracts, meet the needs of this
section.
"(2) Street improvements adequate to occommodate traffic volume generoted by the
proposed use qnd to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place or
shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use. "
Access to the site is adequate for traffic and safety needs, and the proposed site plan
allows for adequate internal circulation and safety concems in loading operations.
" (3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on andfrom adjacent
uses of land through installation of screenfences or landscape materials on the periphery
of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areos, access points, lighting and signs in
such a manner as to protect established neighborhood chorocter. "
The applicant has committed to paint schemes that will minimize visual intrusion,
lighting systems to minimize leakage, utilization of current and historic access points to
minimize new road construction or access, and substantial distances and setbacks from
adjacent uses.
Section 5.03.07 delineates a required Impact Statement for Industrial Operations. These
requirements include:
"(A). Existing lawful use ofwater through depletion or pollution of surface run-o/f,
stream Jlow or ground water. "
Applicant has satisfactorily addressed these issues.
"(B) Impacts on the adjacent landfrom the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise,
glare or vibration, or other emanotions, "
Applicant is in receipt of a valid Air Quality Control Permit for the proposed use from the
State of Colorado, and is subject to monitoring requirements as set forth therein. The size
of the site precludes concerns about noise and vibration to adjacent parcels. The
applicant has committed to dust control on site, and lighting plans.
"C Impacts on wildlife and domestic unimals through the creation of hazardous
attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, blockade of migration routes, use
patterns or other disruptions. "
Applicant has agreed to fence the plant site, a recommendation of D.O.W. Applicant has
additionally consulted with the D.O.W. on potential crossings of Parachute Creek, and
will address issues of wildlife habitat in pipeline corridor restoration.
"(D) Affirmatively show the impocts of truck and automobile trffic to andfrom such
uses and their impact to areas in the county. "
Applicant has analyzed vehicular traffic for all proposed uses at the site with regard to
trip generation, parking, access, accommodation on site and safety concems. The
resulting analysis falls within acceptable guidelines for internal circulation and traffic
generated on existing roadways to and from the site. An area left unaddressed is weight
limits on any proposed construction vehicles using county roads to access the sites.
" (E) That sfficient distances shall separate such use /i'om abutting property which
might otherwise be damaged by operations of the proposed use(s);"
Most abutting areas are owned and under control of the applicant for the plant site, and
suffrcient distances exist.
Further in 5.02.07 (2)
"(4 A planfor site rehabilitation must be approved by the County Commissioners before
a permit for conditional or special use will be issued. "
The applicant proposes a voiding and vacation of previous special use permits for the
site, and that would include previous mitigation agreements. At the same time, the
applicant inherits a variety of previous development on the site that includes no longer
functioning water facilities, disturbed areas for buildings and concrete pads, disturbed
areas for roads and pipetines, sewer and water infrastructure in the ground, RV hook-up
facilities left un-reclaimed and other potential reclamation issues passed on to the
applicant as current owner of the site. The applicant has inherited an obligation to
reclaim previous disturbances utilized for previous Special Use Permits, in anticipating a
change in use to new Special Use Permit requirements on site. In purchasing the property
without that reclamation being accomplished, but with Special Use Permits intact and
applying to the property, the applicant has assumed all reclamation responsibility for
previous uses.
10

RE: Public Notice that Williams Production RMT Co. has applied to the Board of County Commissioners,
Garfield County, State of Colorado , to request a special use permit, for the Parachute Creek Gas Plant.
Dear Mr. Russell:
At your request, in regard to my views on the Parachute Creek Gas Plant, that the Wlliams Production
wants to build, this is a copy of my notes on the testimony that I gave at the public hearing on May 13,
2002.
ln addition to these notes, I want to make further comments on June 17,2001, the time of the next public
hearing. I will include the notes under the heading, 'Notes for June 17."
Testimonv oiven Mav 13. 2002.
We own a small ranch 1/2 mile north ol the town of Parachute, up county road 215. My family has owned
land (ranches) and lived in the Parachute Creek valley for over 100 years.
My present ranch is about 1/2 mile south of two gas processing (compressor stations) plants. We go to
sleep at night hearing the roaring noise ol the compressors at these plants. ln the evenings, this same
noise can be heard in the town of Parachute.
With Williams wanting to build the Parachute Creek plant, we have addition concerns about noise, and air
and water quality in the vatley. The Parachute Creek Valley is relative small, being only about 1/2 mile wide
and twelve miles long. There are already two small and one large compressors plants in the valley. To the
best of my knowledge, no base line data has been established for air quality in the valley, or water quality
in Parachute Creek. Air and water quality may be okay in the valley, but no one really knows. When I
requested data from Williams Co. about the air and water, they maintain that state and federal requirement
are being met at their plants. When we ask ihe state and federal about this issue, they say, they have no
back-ground data on air and water quality in the valley.
Williams Production, the slate and EPA have alloffered to work toward air monitoring, but I am not aware of
any results produced as of this te$imony. The noise from the close compressor plants has been much
worse in the last several weeks. lt is so disturbing that we would not be able to live at our location, without
noise reduction. Williams has assured me that they are working to reduce the noise.
I think the special use permit should only be granted if base line data on noise, air, and water quality in
Parachute Creek is established, and this information is supplied to the public.
,i3
Notes and Comments for the./une 17. 2001 hearino:
Since the public hearing on May fi, n02, several more items has come to my attention regarding the
request by \Mlliams Production FIMT, lor the special use permit, lor the Parachute'Creek Gai Plant. I want
to present them for the June 17 hearing.
ln addition to the three existing @mpressor stations in the Parachute Creek Valley, their are also
hundreds of gas wells and hundreds more to be drilled in the future. This is all the more reason to obtain
good back-ground data on alr and water quality in this valley.
Also, with the noise created by the gas compressor stations, the county definitely needs a noise code. I
noticed, published in The Daily Sentinel on May N,2OO2, where Mesa county had taken up the noise
resulting from a gas compressor station located in Mesa CO. Please find a copy of this article enclosed, to
be presented as pfi of myJune '17, comments. I noticed in this article that the state has a statute which
restricts noise levels between 50 to 55 decibels. Noise levels in rural areas appear to be between 30 and
40 decibels. I live out in the country to avoid the noise in towns and cities. We also like to hear the water
run in Parachute Creek, and wild life natural sounds. With the present noise from the compressors these
sounds are often overwhelmed. lt is my understanding that significant noise reduction can be obtained by
using electric motors on the the compressors. I think the special use permit should only be granted if the
noise level is kept between 30 and 40 decibels in the rural areas.
With additional plants in the Parachute Valley, comes addition traffic on county road 215. Presenfly, the
tratfic is not real excessive, but we have a realproblem with speeders and noise on this road, that I am sure
can be heard allover the valley including the town of Parachute. I have seen vehicles travel up the first mile
of county road 215 at speeds of excess of 70 miles&lr. One vehicle traveling at very high speed sounds
as if it has no mutfler. According to the sign just outside of Parachute, on County Road 215, the speed
limit on this road is marked 35 MPH. Motorcycles often race up and down this road. They also often have
no or little noise control on their cycles. large tanker trucks coming oft the small hilliust north of my place
otten shitt into compression to control speed. This creates noise that can surely be heard all over the
valley including Battlement Mesa. Because of the scenic view and evenings that use to be quiet, otten
hikers walk and bicycles ride the first few miles of County Road 215. They will surely have to stop this
practice unless we get some badly needed law enforcement on County Road 215, especially early in the
mornings, between 6:30 & 7:30, and in the afternoons between B:30 and 4:30.
Lastly, we need to know more about the waste being stored and hauled from the compressor stations. ls
this waste highly toxic? What precautions are being taken at the storage sites to prevent leaks and spills?
To what location is the waste being hauled?
lf the western part of Garfield County is going to be considered a nice place to live and raise children and
have grand kids come to visit, now is the time for the County Commissioners to act, to avert serious
problems in the future.
Thank you and The Board of County Commissioners for considering these matters.
Sincerely,
Wdil-rn

"One thing we have to t<tep in mind is
this site, even though it has not had aconditional-use permit, has been an es_tablished gathering site for natural gas
since 1981," Commissioner Doralyn C6n-
ova said.
The compressor station was built in
1981 in Mesa, west of KE Road
and south of the Mesa Cemetery.
A natural-gas compressor station
adds pressure to collected gas in
order to propel it through a main
pipeline. The compressor station
in Mesa is connected to 71 we1ls
in the county. -
[:r 2000, TBI Field Services Inc.
bought the station, which has not
been in operation for about 10
years.
The company recenfly began
the process of updating the sta-
tion for operation since natural-
gas prices have increased. Dr.ring
its process of obtaining permits
from the state, the company real-
ized the site was never permitted
by the county, said Randy Koliba,
TBI production manager.
Koliba told commissioners his
company was being proactive by
applying for the permit and that
it wanted to be a good neighbor in
Mesa.
Some Mesa residents, however,
refuted Koliba's good-neighbor
claim.
Bill Stoddard told commission-
ers that according to county as-
sessor records, the company is
paying 63 cents a year in properly
taxes on its 1% acres because the
Iand is still zoned for graztng.
Gerald Boren told commission-
ers that TBI disconnected his fuee

manding he provide the company
with a $10 million liability policy.
"My recent experience with
Tom Brown Inc. has been very
negative," Boren said. "Tom
Brown Inc. has made statements
then turned right around and
restated their position 180 de-
grees from where they were."
Koliba asked commissioners to
consider tJle residents' com-
plaints against the benefits his
company conld provide.
TBI, which Koliba said is
worth about $1 billion, owns 84
gas wells in Mesa County and 375
in Colorado. The company has 11
full-time employees in Mesa
County and about i75 in Colo
rado. Since 2000, the company has
spent about $2.7 million in operat-
ing expenses and $1.6 million in
capital costs in Mesa County.
"Afmost all our wells are locat-
ed in or near Mesa County," Koli-
ba said. "There is a fairly sub-
stantial impactto Mesa County."r

Dear I\4r. Russell:
Williams Production RMT Company (Williams) plans to adopt the attached Reclamation Plan (plan) for
the right-of-way (ROW) associated with the proposed DeBeque Lateralnatural gas pipeline project. This
frnalized version of the plan was prepured at the request of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
and has since been approved for use by the BLM, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT),
Mesa County, and Town of DeBeque on their respective sections of the ROW. Therefore, for sake of
consistency, Williams proposes to apply the attached Reclamation Planto the entire approximately
17-mile pipeline ROW.
Should you have any questions regarding the aforementioned information, please feel free to contact the

1. INTRODUCTION
This Reclamation Plan (plan) describes measures to be taken by the Williams Production RMT,
Co (Company) and its construction contractors (Contractor) for topsoil restoration, reseeding,
planting, noxious weed control, and reclamation monitoring.
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to describe in text and on drawings the prescribed methods for
topsoil replacement, reseeding, planting, noxious weed control, and monitoring for
reclamation success. This plan is applicable to the construction on right-of-way (ROSD
and extra workspace locations.
I.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The short-term goals of reclamation are to control erosion and sedimentation and to
minimize impacts to adjacent land uses. Properly executed construction practices and
optirnum scheduling will mitigate short-term impacts. Long term goals include
controlling erosion and sedimentation; protecting water resources and soils; limiting the
introduction and spread of noxious weeds; and returning disturbed areas to pre-existing
condition. Monitoring during construction and post-construction will ensure that these
goals are achieved.
1 3 EI\T\{IRONMENTAL TRAINING
The Company will conduct environmental taining for all project personnel. Training will
include topsoil protection measures and methods for contolling the spread of noxious
weeds (e.g., maintaining clean vehicles and equipment).
1.4 RELATED PLANS/MAPS
The following documents include additional requirements specifically related to the
reclamation of the R.OW and ancillary areas:I Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Contol Plano Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection PlanI Hazardous Materials Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure PIanI Alignment Sheets
r.5 RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibilities are detailed below:
1.5.1The Company
The Company will be responsible for ensuring that the Contractor meets the
standards defined in this plan to restore all disturbed areas to pre-construction
conditions and to ensure long-term monitoring of restoration success. The
Company will take remedial actions as necessary to restore and maintain a stable
vegetative cover on the ROW. The Company wili provide the Contractor with the
appropriate blended seed mixes developed through consultation with agency
representatives and landowners.
2o
6-3
1.5.2 The Contractor
The pipeline Contractor will be responsible for post-construction re-seeding of the
ROW, extra workspaces, and off-ROW ancillary sites following their construction
activities. Reclamation will be conducted according to this plan as specified for
the Contractor.
1.5.3 The Enyironmental Inspector
The Environmental Inspector will have the responsibility to ensure field activities
are performed in accordance with this reclamation plan by the Contractor and in
compliance with all other permits and agreements. The Environmental Inspector
will have the authority to make site-specific field changes in certain reclamation
procedures within the guidelines of this plan in consultation with the landowner or
BLM.
2. RE C LAMATI ON PROCE^SS
The following sections outline the pre-construction planning and sequential steps for restoring
the ROW and extra workspaces following installation of the pipe and bacHrlling of the trench.
However, one of the most important factors relating to successful reclamation takes place during
the initial grading of the ROV/. Topsoil saivage requirements and methods are discussed in detail
in the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Confiol Plan.
2.1 RECLAMATION ACTTYITIES
The Environmental Inspectors with the BLM, Soil Conservation Authority and
Landowners will work to detennine depth of topsoil salvage, appropriate seed mixes, and
seeding methods.
2.2 ROCK DISPOSAL
"Excess rock" is defined as all rock that cannot be retumed to the existing rock profile in
the tench or graded cuts, or is not needed to restore the ROW surface to a condition
comparable to that found adjacent to the ROW. This does not include tailings from
boring operations. (NOTE* Absolutely no tailings from the proposed boring areas will
be spread or stored on federal land.) Excess rock will be randomly distributed across the
ROW, piled or windrowed to create or enhance wildlife habitat, or arranged to block use
of the ROW by motor vehicles. If not practical, the Contractor will remove other excess
rock from the ROW and haul it to an approved disposal site. The Company will
coordinate with landowners or the BLM regarding the methods of disposal.
2.3 FINAL CLEANUP
Within 30 days after backfilling the trench, the Contractor will make every effort to
complete final cleanup and installation of permanent erosion control structures. If
circumstances prevent achieving cleanup within 60 days on federal lands, the Company
will apply for a variance from the BLM.
The ROW and other project-related areas where soil has been disturbed wili be restored
as close to pre-excavation grades, compaction, and other conditions as possible, unless a
2r
6-4
speciflc exemption has been granted by the landowner or BLM. No solid waste, trash, or
vegetative matter will be buried on the ROV/.
Final compaction of disturbed areas will be returned to approximate pre-construction
conditions. In cases where this is not possible, e.8., steep slopes or rocky areas where
fuli- ROW width topsoil salvage was not required, compaction will not vary more than
10 percent from adjacent off-ROW conditions. The Company will test soil compaction to
a depth of 18 inches, if possible, at regular intervals using hand-held penetrometers or
equivalent testing equipment and procedures.
The Contractor will take remedial action as directed by the Company at all locations
where compaction is not within the previously described 10-percent limit. The Contractor
will decompact excessively compacted areas with a paraplow, "Vibrashank," or other
deep tillage implement. In areas where topsoil has been segregated, the subsoil will be
decompacted prior to re-spreading the topsoil.
In areas with a pre-existing rocky surface material, the Contactor will spread rock over
the ROW to maintain a surface appearance similar to that of adjacent undisturbed terrain.
Spreading rock on the surface will not be used as a method to dispose of excess rock
except as described in Section2.Z.
Where approved by the landowner or BLM and Environmental Inspector, the Conkactor
will randomly distribute any windrowed shrubs or other remaining vegetation debris over
the ROW. However, this must be accomplished by hand or light equipment (e.g., all-
terrain vehicles) after seeding of the ROW so the spread material will not interfere with
the perforrnance of seeding equipment and to prevent disturbance of the seedbed.
2.4 TOPSOIL RESTORATION
After the trench has been backfilled and the ROW regraded, the Contractor will
redistribute topsoil to the approximate location from which it was originally removed.
Restored topsoil will be left in a roughened condition to discourage erosion and enhance
the quality of the seedbed. Topsoil will not be handled during excessively wet or frozen
conditions as determined by the Environmental or Construction Inspector.
Topsoil will be redistributed as close to original salvage depths as possible. Salvage
methods are discussed in Section 2.2 of the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and
Erosion Control Plan. Segregation of subsoil and topsoil will be maintained throughout
final cleanup procedures. The Contactor will be responsible for replacement of lost or
degraded (mixed) topsoil with topsoil imported from a Company-approved and weed-free
source.
Additional erosion contol and soil stabilization will be required in areas adjacent to or
within drainages. See the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan
and the Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan for additional information.
4 o
2.5 MIS CELLAII-EOUS AGRICI]LTURAL FEATURES
All irrigation ditches, drain tiles, cattle guards, fences, and artificial and natural
livestoclc/wildlife water soruces will be maintained and repaired to at least pre-
construction conditions. Temporary measures will be provided, as agreed with the
landowner or BLM, for any of these facilities that are disrupted 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 the existence of a drainage system may
not be known prior to excavation, all drain tiles unearthed during excavation by the
Contactor will be reported to the Company in writing.
2.6 SEEDBED PREPARATION
The Contractor will scariff, till, or ha:row the seedbed to a depth of 3 to 4 inches or as
detennined by the Environmental Inspector prior to seeding where needed to improve
revegetation potential. Those sites where seedbed preparation is not practical (e.g., steep
slopes, rocky areas, etc.) will be left with adequate roughness following topsoil
placement to create micro-environments for seed germination and growth, and to reduce
the potential for soil movement.
2.7 SOIL SUPPLEMENTS
Generally, fertilizer will not be used trnless requested by the landowner or recommended
by either the Environmental lnspector or a soil conservation authority. At this time, no
areas have been identified that require fertilizer.
2.8 REYEGETATION
The Contractor will be responsible for seeding the ROW and off-ROW ancillary sites
using Company-supplied seed mixes, appropriate seeding methods, and approved
application rates. The seeding requirements and scheduling of reclamation activities will
be detemrined in coordination with BLM, Soil Conservation Authority or the appropriate
landowner.
2.8.1 Species Selection and Sources
Selection of gass and shrub species for revegetation wili be based on pre-
construction community composition and soil types as well as establishment
potential, soil stabilizing qualities, commercial availability of regional varieties,
post-construction land use objectives, and agency recommendations. Native
species will be utilized to the extent possible unless non-natives are specifically
requested by a private landowner or land mair-aging agency. Project seed will be
purchased from and blended by qualified producers and dealers.
Certified weed-free or "blue-tagged" seed will be purchased for use on the project,
but this status is only available for those native species with named varieties. All
other seed will be free of primary noxious weeds. Williams Production Company,
RMT will submit the seed for independent testing prior to its use. The Contractor
will be respbnsible for providing all seed tags to the Environmental or
Construction lnspector at the end of each day.
^-J)
:
On BLM, the following seed mix will be used:
Pounds pure live seed (PLS)/Acre
Luna Pubescent Wheatgrass
Paloma Indian Ricegrass
Arriba Westem Wheatgrass
Rincon Rour-wing Saltbush
Shadscale
Total
2.8.2 Seed Application Rates and Viability
Species ratios and Pure Live Seed (PLS) application rates will be developed in
consultation with landowners, agency specialists, and other regional revegetation
consuitants. Seeding rates will be determined in PLS potrnds per acre and seeds
per square foot based on drilled application rates. Broadcast seeding rates will be
twice the drill rate.
Seed will be used within 12 months of testing to assure seed viability. If
additional seeding is required in the year following construction, additional
viability tests will be conducted to determine any need for adjustment of
application rates.
The Contractor will seed wetlands, when necessary as determined by the
Environmental Irspector and BLM. Successful recolonization by wetland species
is generally related to effective topsoii 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 Strearn Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan and independent of
other reclamation activities.
2.8.3 Seeding Methods and Procedures
The Contactor 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 than 2 inches of snow on the ground unless
approved by the Environmental lnspector 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.
2.8.3.1 Drill Seeding
Drill seeding will be employed wherever soil characteristics and slope
allow effective operation of a range drill. Drilt seeding will be performed
perpendicular to the slope uniess otherwise directed by the Environmental
Inspector and BLM field representative. The dritl will have a seed release

mechanism sufficient to allow seeds of various sizes and densities to be
planted at the proper seeding depth.
2.8.3 .2Broadcast S eeding
Broadcast seeding will be employed in all areas where drill seeding cannot
be perforrred. Seed will be applied using manually operated cyclone-
bucket spreaders, mechanical spreaders, blowers, or hydroseeders. Seed
will be uniformly broadcast over disturbed areas. Immediately after
broadcasting, the seed wiil be uniformly raked, chained, harrowed, or
cultipacked to incorporate seed to a sufficient seeding depth. If it is not
possible to cover the seed with mechanical methods, the seeding rates will
be doubled.
2.9 PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL
Permanent erosion control methods will be utilized as needed for stabilization of slopes
and soils as described in the Soil Conservation, Sedimentation, and Erosion Control Plan.
Permanent erosion control measures will be installed within 30 days after the trench is
backfilled 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 wiil be employed to minimize the potential for
expansion of noxious weed populations via the pipeline route.
i.l 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
potentiai sotuces of noxious weeds will any piece of equipment be allowed initial
tansport or access to the ROW.
4. WORKER SAFETY AND SPILL KEPORTING
All contracted herbicide contactors will obtain and have readily available copies of the
appropriate application permits and the Environmental Protection Agency Material Safety Data
Sheets O4SDS) 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 Hazardous Material
Management and Spill Prevention and Countemreasure Plan.
5. RECL,AMATION SCHEDULE AND DOCUMENTATION
Reclamation activities wiil be determined in part by construction schedules and seasonal climatic
conditions. Seeding and planting wili be coordinated with other reclamation activities to occur as
2{
6-8
soon after seedbed preparation as possible. Ideally, the Contractor will complete permanent
reclamation activities prior to the end of the typical fall planting season (September i't - October
31u).
Upon completion of reclamation, the Company's Construction lnspector, Environmental
Inspector, and Land Agents, and BLM representatives will perform a final inspection of the
ROW and ancillary facilities to verifr that pre-construction commitments have been satisfied. A
copy of the post-reclamnlioa inspection form will be transmitted to the Contractor if any
deficiencies or a need for remedial action is noted.
6. POS T.C ONSTRU CTI ON MONITO RIN G AND EVALUATI ON
6.I REVEGETATION A}ID EROSION CONTROL MOMTORING
During the fust growing season following construction and reclamation, qualified
specialists will conduct intensive surveys to assess revegetation success and determine
the need for further reclamation.
Revegetation monitoring will include evaluation of the following parameters as compared
to adjacent (otr-ROW) vegetation:
r percent total herbaceous cover (seeded species plus desirable volunteers), andI species composition.
Where applicable, the following will be evaluated:I new or expanded populations of noxious weeds.
Areas with poor germination and/or growth will be evaluated to determine, if possible,
the cause of the problem. Reclamation techniques will be modified as necessary to
address any identified problems and appropriate remedial measures will be undertaken.
The Contractor will be responsible for remediating any problem areas identified by the
Company for the frst growing season following construction. Thereafter, the Company
will be responsible for obtaining a reclamation contactor to perform any necessary work.
Erosion control monitoring will be performed in response to significant weather events
and/or concurently with the revegetation monitoring during the first year following
construction. Success criteria for both are discussed in Section 6.2.
Both erosion control and revegetation monitoring wiil be conducted routinely throughout
the life of the pipeline to evaluate long-term suwival of reestablished vegetation and the
effectiveness of erosion control measures with specific attention to problem sites.
6.2 EVALUATING RECLAMATION SUCCESS
The Company is responsible for the stability and revegetation of all areas disturbed as a
result of construction for the life of the pipeline. As discussed in Section 6.1, the
Company will conduct intensive monitoring after the first growing season and routinely
thereafter to assess soil stability and revegetation success.
Ot'
tni
6-9
The Contractor will reseed any portion of the ROW that does not exhibit 50 percent total
herbaceous cover (comprised of seeded species plus desirable volunteers) relative to
adjacent (off-ROW) vegetation after the first complete growing season. Additional
seeding will be completed during the next seeding season (fall or spring). In the event
that first year revegetation is affected by precipitation a:nounts significantly below the
annual average, the Company may request deferrnent of additional seeding activities until
the foilowing seeding window.
The reclaimed ROW will be considered stable when the surface appears similar to
adjacent undisturbed land and the following accelerated erosion indicators do not exist:
r perceptible soil movement (exceeding pre-construction conditions)I head cutting in drainagesI flow pattern development resulting in large (greater than 12 inches in depth) rills or
gulliesr trench subsidence or slumping
Revegetation will be considered successfi.rl when the following criteria are met
r total herbaceous (seeded species plus desirable volunteers) cover is at least 75 percent
ofthat on adjacent land,I species composition comprised of a mix of seeded species and desirable volunteers
from adjacent communities, and

RE:williams company sUP Application - Review of supplemental lnformation
Dear Mr. Russell:
This letter presents our comments on technical review of the supplemental information forthe proposed Williams Company Special Use Permit for a gas'plant and pipeline. The
additional submittal information includes a May 31, 2OO2 cover letter and attachments
labeled Exhibit A through Exhibit L. Our comments are outlined below and follow the
numbered and lettered items in the May 31 , zoo2 williams company letter.
1. The storm water management plan and draft spill prevention control and counter
measure plan appear adequate for the proposed project site.
2. No technical concerns.
3a. The submittal indicates that Williams Company has obtained an interest in the
augmentation plan in Case No. W-2206 from American Soda, consistent with the
Wright Water Engineers May 22,2002 letter (Exhibit E). Based on our review, we
believe the conditions of the well permits would be satisfied.
3b. No technical issues
ExxonMobil owns significant water rights in the Colorado River and piceance Creekbasins. Based on discussions with Bill Lorah of Wright Water Engineers,
ExxonMobil would deliver water to Williams Company via the DOW pumpiig plant
and Pipeline water right, which pumps water from the Colorado River and dLlivers
it to the old Mahaffey Ranch property near Parachute. This water right is decreed
for irrigation, industrial, commercial, municipal, power and other beneiicial uses and
is augmented by senior irrigation rights and Ruedi Reservoir water, providing for a
reliable supply. Water will be loaded onto trucks for dust suppression and wilieither
be trucked or delivered via temporary surface pipeline for pressure testing of the
gas pipeline.
3d. See 3c. above.
3e. See 3a. above.
OTHER RELATED ISSUES
The supplemental submittal indicates there are three alternate pipeline routes depending
on negotiations for purchase or an easement across the Unocal property. lf the third optionis chosen, it requires an additional crossing of Waters of the U.5. The Nationwide 12
Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) allows for up to 500 feet of utility

RE: lYilliams S.U.P. for Storage, Olfice, and Natural Gas Plant
Dear Dave:
Thaok you for the valid development application submitted on behalf of Williams Energy Services to this
oflice on December 20, ?0A1. The purpose of this letter is to follow up our telephone convssation on
1116102, and to notify you that the application has been deemed technically non-compiiant for the
following reasons:
l. The application form requires submittal of a access pemrit if you are proposing new or expanded
access onto a County Road. Please contact the Road and Bridge Deparnnent in order to obtain the
necessary permit and supply a copy to this office.
2. The application form requires an impact statement consistent with Sections 5.03.07 and 5.03.08.
An impact statement consistent with 5.03.08 was lacking. Please provide said staternent in detail,
preferably with numerical refersnces to each section of code.
An impact statement addressing 5.03.07 was provided. However, it lacked a specificplan for site
rehabilitation (5.03.07 (2) (A). The application states the use is proposed for twenty (20) years,
yet does address what will occur after this length of time passes. It also lacked any evidence
supporting ttre staternents concerning wildlife. In additiorL please provide a copy of the APCD
application and state when you expect to have that permit in hand. The statement says sewage
disposal will be handled by an existing septic system but lacks any evidence that said systern is
appropriately designed for the intended use. As an alternative, you may propose to install a new
system. While construction is expected to take fiom 5 to 6 months, the application lacks any
detail as to how dust will be contolled initially, or during ongoing operations. The light vehicle
trip calculations are not supported by any engineering standards (such as calculations based on the
ITE manual). Will any generated noise be perceptible at the property boundaries?
3. It is my understanding tha the storage, office, and gas plant uses will all occur on Sale Area I, and
that no "special uses" are being proposed on Sale Area II at this time. No "man camp" is being
proposed at all, nor axe any habitable living units being proposed. Your cover letter of 12/19/01
states that one purpose of the application is to increase natural gas transportation capacity. ln our
telephone conversation you made mention of a proposed pipeline, yet no information about this
facility could be located within the narrative nor on the site plan. Please address this issue.
4. Please state the initial and maximum number of employees.
5. The cover letter states that Williams proposes to vacate rights to all existing SUP's assigned to the
previous property owner. Please provide copies of said permitVresolutions of approval. One
would assume the sup's issued for the pipelines will not be revoked. Please indicate which sup's
you propose to revoke, and which ones you propose to maintain or amend.
6. The application states that a cistern will be filled to meet the domestic water supply needs. Please
clarify what the legal source of water is to fill the cistern,
7. The site plan does not include proposed parking areas. The site plan should include ALL site
improvements, including access and parking areas, pipelines, storage areas, easements, etc.
8, Please list all materials that will be generated as a result of the operation, and detail how all waste
will be disposed of, including hydrocarbons,
9. Please specifically address the following criteria from section 5.03 from the Zoning Code:
(1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on acgept-ed enguleqry€
itindards and approv'ed by the Board of County Commissioners shall either be in place or shall be
consffucted in conjunctiori with the proposed u"se; (4,97-60)
(2) Steet improvements adequate to accommodate naftic volume_generate-d py. the proposed.up
ind.to provide safe, convanient access to the use shall either be in place or shall be constructed in
conjunction with the proposed use;
(3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses of
land through installation of screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery of the lot and by
location of intensively utilized areas, access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to
protect established neighborhood character;
Once the items listed above have been submitted, the application may proceed through the review proc€ss.
Please do not hesitate to contact me in the event you have any questions,
Sincerely,
Kit Lyon

Williams Production RMT Company (Williams) recently acquired the subject property from
Union Oil Company of Califomia (Unocal). The property is currently zoned: "Resource
Lands - Lower Valley Floor." The property consists of: Sale Area I which comprises
approximately 7,370 acres located in a portion of Section 4, Township 7 South, and portions
of Sections 27,28,29,32,33 and 34 located in Township 6 South, all in Range 96 West of
the 6th Principal Meridian; and Sale Area 2 which comprises approximately 432 acres located
in Section l, Township Z Soutfr, Ru.rge X West of the 6th Principal Meridian (see Exhibit A,
Property Map). The property contains the following existing structures that will be utilized
in conjunction with the proposed use:
o A 14,000 square-foot "Man Camp" building; ( , - :
o A 1,200 square-foot "Water Treatment'ibuiltlg;-aqd.- >tT""*+ | (.L'-f -^' ><<)
o A 4,200 square-foot "small Vehicle Maintenance Shop" building. t('1 ;tttrTt- y;e e!:Dt>{'t
Williams proposes to utilize the aforementioned existing structures (and concrete pads) for
equipment storage and office space. A paved private road that intersects County Road 215
approximately 4.3 miles northwest of Parachute will provide access to the plant. Light
vehicle round trips (estimated to be 20 daily, initially) for purposes of accessing the buildings
will be limited to shift work and support trips. An estimated three heavy truck round trips
per day will be required on County Road 215 to deliver equipment to the facilities for
temporary storage and pick-up/delivery to field sites.I)AAl_dl u'^ -J,rrtt ) ., ./'y',\,' , . 1'
In addition, Williams proposes to construct (beginning April 2OO2) and operate (beginning
September 2002) a natural gas processing and compression facility (AKA Parachute Creek
Gas Plctnt;plant) on our property 7 days per week, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The
facility will be used for "natural resources processing" and will occupy approximately 10
acres in the N/2, NE/4, S33, T65, R96W of the 6th Principal Meridian (see Exhibit B for
Location Map/Legal Description). Light vehicle round trips (estimated to be 20 daily,
initially) for purposes of accessing the plant will be limited to shift work and support trips.
In addition, two to three heavy truck round trips per day on County Road 215 will be
required to transport Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) extracted from natural gas by the plant.
Nearly all vehicular traffic accessing the site will be during daylight hours.
The facility will consist of three natural gas compressors, three refrigeration compressors,
two electrical generation units, one refrigeration process skid, one amine process skid, one
office/shop building, three NGL storage tanks, and truck load-out racks for NGL. The size
and layout of the various components are shown in Exhibit C (Site Layout).

After you called to confirm that the above-referenced
permits were issued on December 22 and that they had been mailed
to Union at the Grand. Junction address on the permit applications,
f noticed that the address on the applications is no longer
current, Union having moved its offices well over a year ago.
Union still has not received the permits, and the post office in
Grand Junction indicates that it probably returned them to your

Re:Union Oil Company(Union 16 l.leII Nos
you ask one of your secretaries to
been returned to your office, andat the following address:
h'eII Permits. 6 and 5A)
Dear Fred:
After you calIed to confirm that the above-referencedpermits were issued on December 22 and that they had been mailedto Union at the Grand Junction address on the permit applications,I noticed that the address on the applications is no longer
current, Union having moved its offices weII over a year ago.
Union still has not received the permits, and the post office in
Grand Junction indicates that it probably returned them to your
office.
I am getting copies of the permits from your office,
but I am sure that Union would like to have the originals. Could
check and see if they have
if so mail them back to Union

IMPACT STATEMENT
WILLIAMS SALE AREA 1 AND AREA 2
PARACHUTE CREEK VALLEY
Williams plans to utilize groundwater rights within legal limitations at the existing
facilities for domestic and irrigation purposes. Water is p_1q-v!!ed from a wellls) located
near Parachute Creek. Sewage disposal is through tl,lzdxisting\spptic system. Electric
and telephone systems are in-place and operational. \-/
Parachute Creek Gas Plant (plant) will be located in Sale Area 1. The facility will be
used for "natural resources processing" and will be constructed in order to provide
increased natural gas production and transportation capacity. It will include three natural
gas compressors, three refrigeration compressors, two electrical generation units, one
refrigeration process skid, one amine process skid, one office/shop building, three natural
gas liquids (NGL) storage tanks, and truck load-out racks for NGL. Williams plans to
begin construction in April 2002 and have the facility in operation by September 2002.
Impacts to adjacent lands from the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare,
vibration, or other emanations from the proposed plant are expected to be limited because
of plant design considerations and because the plant will be in an enclave completely
surrounded by property owned by Williams. Air emissions from the proposed plant will
generally be related to the combustion of natural gas as fuel in the process and will
include nitrous oxides (t{Ox), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). The Colorado Department of Health and Environment - Air Pollution Control
Division (APCD), regulates air emissions in the State. The plant will be permitted
through APCD prior to start-up. Ambient air quality modeling results indicate that plant
air emissions will not exceed National Ambient Air euality Standards. ,
Noise levels will be at or below industrial noise contiol requirements as set forlh by the
Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). Other aforementioned
emanations are expected to be insignificant.
The plant will occupy approximately l0 acres of an existing irrigated field. By nature,
this type of facility is incompatible with continued wildlife access and wildlife will be
excluded from this area by wildlife-proof fencing. The plant is not expected to blockwildlifemigrationroutes'

Light vehicle round trips (estimated to be 20 daily, initially) for purposes of accessing tlie :
buildings will be limited to shift work and support trips. An estimated three heavy truck
round trips per day will be required on County Road 215 to deliver equipment to the
facilities for temporary storage and pick-up/delivery to field sites.

Light vehicle round trips (estimated to be 20 daily, initially) for purposes of accessing the
plant will be limited to shift work and support trips. In addition, two to three heavy truck
round trips per day on County Road 215 will be required to transport NGL extracted from
natural gas by the plant. Nearly all vehicular traffic accessing the plant will be during
daylight hours.
Adequate distance separates the plant from the abutting properties to prevent damage
from the proposed uses. The life of the plant is expected to be 20 years. Upon removal
of the facility, the disturbed land will be reclaimed by grading back to a stable slope.
Soils will be fertilized and seeded using a native seed mix, and mulched.
,l
Construction is expected to require five to six months to complete r | '
