Hi Dave,
I found the plans that show all of the gate locations as well as the fence location. According to the Land Use Change
Permit, the fence will be a 7 foot chain link. I can't find the actual permit numbers, but can dig around some more if you
can't find what you need based on the following:
Project name: Hunter Mesa Compressor Station
Property location: 2131 CR 333 Silt, CO 81652
Parcel Number: 240106400120
Property Owner: BJM, Ltd.

·Let me know what else you need or if this plan set isn't going to work for you. I really appreciate your help and patience
with this.
Have a fantastic day!

Subject: Geologic Evaluation and Geotechnical Investigation
Valerus-Antero Hunter Mesa
Compressor Station
Garfield County, Colorado
Project No. GS05500-125 Revised
This report provides the results of our geologic evaluation and geotechnical
investigation at the proposed Valerus-Antero Hunter Mesa Compressor Station site in
Garfield County, Colorado. The following sections discuss the site geology and
geologic hazards, describes the subsurface conditions found in exploratory borings
and provides recommendations for foundation support of the compressor pads and
building(s) that would enclose the compressors. A vicinity map of the site is shown
on Figure 1.
Site Geology and Geologic Hazards
Site geology and geologic hazards were evaluated by David A. Glater, P.E.,
C.P.G., using field reconnaissance on August 20, 2010 and a review of pertinent
available literature. Literature references are cited at the end of this section.
Most of the vacant 1.2 acre site slopes gently north and east toward an
ephemeral drainage swale that flows through the northeast corner. The ground
surface was covered with thick grasses and shrubs. An existing Encana Well Pad is
uphill to the south. The underground River Run Gathering System is about 300 feet
west, on the Range Line.
Mapping by the USGS indicates the surficial materials are Quaternary-
Holocene age (Pinedale and Bull Lake) glacial outwash and water and wind-deposited
alluvium that formed in a several mile wide glacial outwash valley leading from
Battlement Mesa southwest of the site. Glacial outwash, braided stream flow and
wind-deposition over the past 50,000 years formed the local feature known as Hunter

Mesa. which is bound by Mamm Creek at the east side and Dry Creek to the west. The
site lies near tile northeast terminus of the mesa. Our borings encountered 30 feet of
sandy clay and clayey sand soils and did not penetrate bedrock. Bedrock materials
beneath the alluvium are from the Wasatch Formation, deposited in Eocene and
Paleocene (early Tertiary) time. The Wasatch is a continental sedimentary deposit
comprised of bedded claystone shale, siltstone and sandstone. No bedrock outcrops
were present on the site. However, we noted an exposure of Wasatch shale and
sandstone on a hillside about400 feet to the northwest. We did not prepare a surficial
geologic map of the site due to the simplicity and single unit present.
Brief reconnaissance found no evidence of avalanches, landslides, rockfalls,
unstable slopes or ground subsidence on the site. Ground water was not
encountered in our borings during drilling. Site slopes did not exhibit signs of
mstability or severe erosion. The northeast corner is lower and adjacent to a seasonal
drainage. The Civil Engineer should evaluate the hazard due to flooding. Site soils
should be considered to be somewhat susceptible to erosion. Steep slopes will have
higher erosion rates. Re-vegetation, drainage capture or erosion control methods can
reduce potential for soil loss.
Expansive soils are present at this site. The presence of expansive soils
sometimes referred to as swelling soils, constitutes a geologic hazard. There is risk
that ground heave could move and damage foundations. The risks associated with
swelling soils can be mitigated but not eliminated by careful design, construction and
maintenance procedures. Our test results indicate low swell potential. The type of
building construction associated with the planned compressor facility is generally not
adversely affected by the amount of movement expected related to low swelling soils.
Expansive soils as a geologic hazard are judged as a low risk considering the site
and the planned site usage.
The soil and bedrock units are not expected to respond unusually to seismic
activity. Liquefaction potential is considered nil. Sites with thick deposits of clay soil
will likely classify as Site Class D for seismic design purposes. Horizontal Peak
Ground Acceleration (PGA) for this site is 0.08g, with about a 1000 year return period.
Horizontal response spectral acceleration for 0.2 sec. period (Ss) can be taken as
0.17g and for 1 sec. period (Sij, 0.04g. Only minor damage to relatively new, properly
designed and built structures would be expected.
Our project engineer, Mr. Edward R. "Ted" White, visited the site and
performed a radiation survey. Our survey consisted of walking along lines the length
of the site in a east-west direction .. Lines were spaced approximately 30 to 50 feet
apart. We observed radiation measurements that were taken with a Ludlum
Instruments .. Inc. Model No. 19 Micro-R-Meter carried at arms length (approximately 2
feet above the ground surface). Radiation readings were observed by continuously
glancing back and forth from the Micro-R-Meter to the line of travel. We observed
radiation measurements averaging approximately 4 microroentgens per hour. Some
areas had readings as low as 0 rnicroroentgens per hour and as high as 10
microroentgens per hour. In our opinion, these readings on the site are indicative of
normal background radiation for the area and do not indicate contamination.

In summary, we find no geologic hazards that preclude development of this
parcel for use as a compressor facility.

Planned Construction
We understand construction at the site will consist of installing five
compressors. The compressors will be enclosed by either five separate buildings or
one large building will cover all five of the compressors. For purposes of this report
we have assumed that each compressor will be between 10 and 15 feet wide and 25 to
30 feet long. Based on our experience we have assumed the compressors weigh
between 75,000 and 100,000 pounds. A gravel roadway will access the compressors.
We anticipate maximum excavation depths of about 10 feet will be required for site
development.
Compressors are normally delivered to sites attached to structural steel skids
and are placed on a prepared pad by a crane. In some cases the compressor skid is
placed on a concrete mat foundation and then bolted to the mat. In some cases the
steel skid acts as the foundation and the unit is placed directly on the ground.
The enclosure building is normally supported on a foundation that is separated
from the compressor concrete mat. We should be provided plans when developed
that show the planned method of founding the planned compressor and building. If
construction will differ significantly from the description above we should be
informed so that we can check that our recommendations are appi'Opriate.
Investigation
We drilled three exploratory borings and two subgrade borings at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The exploratory borings were advanced to
depths of30 feet and the subgrade borings were advanced to depths of 5 feet using 4-
inch diameter, continuous-flight solid-stem auger and a track-mounted drill rig. Our

project engineer observed drilling, logged the soils encountered in the borings, and
obtained samples. Graphic logs of the borings, including results of field penetration
resistance tests are presented on the Summary Logs of Exploratory Borings on
Figure 2. The borings were backfilled after drilling operations were completed.
Soils at the site consisted of about 1 foot of sandy clay "topsoil" underlain by
sandy clay with lenses of silty and clayey sand and claystone pieces to the maximum
explored depth of the 30 feet.
The soils were very stiff based on the results of field penetration resistance
tests. Selected samples of the soils were at moisture contents of 4.0 to 21.9 percent
and dry densities of 104 to 123 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Atterberg limits were
liquid limits of 26 to 47 percent and plasticity indices of 11 to 25 percent. The
samples had 77 to 97 percent silt and clay size particles (passing the No. 200 sieve).
Four samples of the soils were tested for volume change potential using a one-
dimensional consolidometer. The samples exhibited 0.5 percent to 1.7 percent swell
when wetted under a vertical pressure of 1,000 psf. Laboratory test results are
presented in Appendix A.
Earthwork
The compressor may be placed on a concrete mat or may be placed directly on
the ground surface supported by a steel skid attached to the compressor. The
building will likely be supported on a separate foundation. The natural soil is very
stiff clay which is expansive. The clay in it's in-situ state would likely swell if wetted.
Significant wetting could result in heave that could adversely affect operations. We
recommend that the existing clay soils be removed to between 3 feet below the
existing ground surface at the compressor and enclosure building footprint locations.
We believe that a 3 foot excavation backfilled with moisture treated and densely
compacted structural fill will result in sufficient thickness to support the compressor
and building with only small amounts of heave or settlement. Structural fill should be
placed below the compressor footprint and should extend at least 2 feet beyond the
planned building.
Structural fill can consist of an imported Class 6 aggregate base course or
similar soil or the natural clays. Structural fill should be placed as described below.
We believe the use of a Class 6 aggregate base course mixed with the natural clay
would provide better performance and would be easier to place to our
recommendations than reuse of only the natural clays. We understand that the
compressor manufacturers frequently recommend placing the compressor
foundation on a layer of sand. The sand layer can be placed, as recommended by the
compressor manufacturer on the structural fill. Proper drainage should be provided to
prevent excess moisture penetrating the sand layer.
Excavations will likely be limited to those required to construct the access
road and to subexcavate for the compressor and the building. Excavations can be
accomplished using conventional, heavy-duty excavation equipment. Sides of
excavations will need to be sloped or bra.ced to meet local, state and federal safety
regulations. We expect the soils in excavations will classify as a Type B soil based on

OSHA standards governing excavations. Temporary slopes deeper that 5 feet that
are not retained should be no steeper that 1 to 1 {horizontal to vertical) in Type B soils
according to OSHA standards.
It is important to properly place and compact structural fill. Class 6 aggregate
base course or similar material should be properly moisture treated to within 2
percent of optimum moisture content. If the natural clays are reused as structural fill
the clay soils should be moisture treated to 1 percent below to 3 percent above
optimum moisture content. Fill should be placed in loose lifts of 8 inches thick or
less, moisture-treated, and compacted to approximately 98 percent of standard
Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density. We recommend that density of fil! be
checked during placement.
Foundations
Compressor
We understand that the compressors may be delivered with structural steel
skids that can be set directly onto the ground. A maximum soil bearing capacity of
4,000 psf is recommended between the skid and the ground. We believe that a steel,
concrete filled skid placed on the prepared subgrade, as described above, will
perform adequately. A more positive approach to Umit future movement would be to
place the compressor on a mat foundation. Differential movement of up to 1 to 2
inches may occur if overexcavation is not performed. We would expect differential
movement of less than 1 inch after overexcavation.
Gas compressor foundations are often designed with enough mass to
attenuate most machine vibration within the structure. For design of vibrating
machine foundations, the subsoils can be considered to be unsaturated very stiff
sandy clay. A low-strain shear modulus of about 15,000 psi is appropriate ifthe sandy
clay soils are not likely to become wetted or softened, or if a thick layer of imported
sand and gravel is placed prior to compressor foundation construction. Should the
clay become softened, a shear modulus of 5,000 psi is more appropriate. Poisson's
Ration can be taken as 0.45.
Criteria for mat and footing foundations are provided below.
Building(s)
The compressor building should be founded to mitigate future movements.
Differential movement of up to 1 to 2 inches may occur if excavation is not performed.
We would expect less than 1 inch of differential movement after overexcavation.
Criteria for footing and mat foundations are provided below.
Footings
1. Footing foundations should be supported by the undisturbed, natural
soil or densely compacted structural fill. Soils loosened during

excavation or the forming process for the footings should be removed,
or the soils can be re-compacted prior to placing concrete.
2. Footings supported on the natural soils or properly placed structural fill
can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 3,000 psf.
3. Continuous footings should have a minimum width of at least 16
inches. Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum
dimensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger sizes may be required,
depending upon foundation loads.
4. Grade beams and foundation walls should be well reinforced to span
undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. We recommend reinforcement
sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 12 feet.
Reinforcement should be designed by the structural engineer.
Mat Foundation
1. The total applied load averaged across the entire mat should be 1,000
psf or less. To develop design for reinforcement patterns at locations
of isolated loads or along foundation wall (line loads), we suggest
assuming an allowable soil pressure of 3,000 psf at the base of the mat.
2. A finite element analytical program should be used to proportion
reinforcement in the mat. Soil is modeled using a "spring constant"
when using this type of analysis. We believe a suitable design value for
the coefficient of subgrade reaction is 75 pci.
3. Utilities which penetrate the mat foundation will need to be detailed
such that movement of the mat is not transferred to the utility line. The
mat foundation and utility pipe penetration need to be able to move
separately.
Floor System and Slabs-on-Grade
Our subsurface information indicates that slab-on-grade floor construction can
be supported by the natural soils or by an at least 2 feet thickness of structural fill
with low potential differential movement. If the subgrade soils get wet the structural
fill alternative will likely result in less slab movement and cracking. If a slab-on-grade
is to be placed on the natural soils the subgrade preparation should involve
scarification, moisture treatment and compaction of at least the upper 8 inches of
subgrade soils. Structural fill below slabs should be placed in accordance with the
recommendations provided in the Earthwork section. If a mat foundation is chosen,
the mat will serve as the floor slab and risk of differential movement will be less than
a slab-on-grade. We recommend the following precautions for slab-on-grade
construction at this site.
1. Slabs should be separated from wall footings and column pads with
slip joints which allow free vertical movement of the slabs.

2. Underslab plumbing should be pressure tested for leaks before the
slabs are poured. Plumbing and utilities which pass through slabs
should be isolated from the slabs with sleeves and provided with
flexible couplings to slab-supported appliances.
3. Frequent control joints should be provided, in accordance with
American Concrete Institute (ACI) recommendations, to reduce
problems associated with shrinkage and curling.
Surface Drainage
Surface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations. Ground
surfaces should be sloped to direct runoff away from the compressor buildings.
Backfill adjacent to the buildings should be moisture conditioned and compacted as
recommended in the Earthwork section.
Proposed Drive Section
Based on our exploratory borings, excavations for the access road and other
drive areas will be in stiff to very stiff clay. A gravel road surface is preferred. The
road will be used by heavy construction traffic during site development. Moderately
heavy trucks will likely utilize the road for maintenance after construction. Fill will be
the native clay. The subgrade soils should be scarified to at least 8 inches, moisture
treated and compacted. Road embankment fill should be placed in maximum
thickness of 8 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor
(ASTM D 698) maximum dry density. Our experience is that placement of a
geosynthetic material on the prepared subgrade, below the aggregate base course is
beneficial. We recommend a geogrid material. We suggest a minimum 8 inch
thickness ofCDOT Class 3 aggregate base course below at least4 inches of a Class 6
driving course. Less aggregate base course would likely result in more than
anticipated maintenance.
Geotechnical Risk
The concept of risk is an important aspect of any geotechnical evaluation. The
primary reason for this is that the analytical methods used to develop geotechnical
recommendations do not comprise an exact science. The analytical tools which
geotechnical engineers use are generally empirical and must be tempered by
engineering judgment and experience. Therefore, the solutions or recommendations
presented in any geotechnical evaluation should not be considered risk-free and,
more importantly, are not a guarantee that the interaction between the soils and the
proposed structure will perform as desired or intended. What the engineering
recommendations presented in the preceding sections do constitute is our estimate,
based on the information generated during this and previous evaluations and our
experience in working with these conditions, of those measures that are necessary to
help the development perform satisfactorily. The owner must understand this

Limitations
Our exploratory and subgrade borings were located to obtain a reasonably
accurate picture of subsurface conditions below the site. Variations in the
subsurface conditions not indicated by our borings will occur.
This investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care
and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical engineers currently practicing under
similar conditions in the locality of this project. No warranty, express or implied, is
made. If we can be of further service in discussing the contents of this letter, please

Garfield County, Colorado
Project No. GS05500-125
TCTLITHOMPSON
Mountain Cross Engineering Inc., provided the Garfield County Planning
Department a civil engineering review of the planned Hunter Mesa Compressor
Station Limited Impact Application. The review letter is dated Dec11mber 17, 2010. We
have been asked by Sopris Engin1111ring to provide comment r11lative to revi11w
Comment No. 3. This letter provides our response to review Comment No. 3.
The comment is "The proposed drainage and slope between the proposed
compressor buildings is very flat (0.5%). This slope will be difficult to construct and
maintain as a gravel surface and does not likely match the drainage recommendations
ofthe Geotechnical engineer." ·
We reviewed the most current drainage plan and discussed the proposed
grading between the proposed compressor buildings with Sopris Engineering, LLC.
Grading will include slopes down and away from the buildings at +I· 2 percent to the
north or south. The ground surface will then transition to a slope to the east at 0.5
percent. Our recommendations were for positive drainage away from the buildings.
The plans do show positive drainage away from the buildings. The gravel surface
cross-section will be 4 inches of Class 6 aggregate base course over 8 inches of
Class 3 aggregate base course on a geotextile fabric.
We understand that the building will have gutters and downspouts. The
inclusion of gutters and downspouts to collect and remove rain and snowmelt from
the roof will significantly limit wetting of the area between the buildings. The roof
runoff water should be discharged to the east of the buildings. Assuming positive

drainage between the buildings, gutters and leaders is maintained, we believe the
areas between the buildings will not be problematic to the planned site usage. We
believe the current plans are appropriate. Some stabilization may be required after
significant precipitation events.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you have
questions or we can be of further service, please call.
