Kahuna Ventures is filing the permit application on behalf of Antero Resources Pipeline Corporation. Antero Resources Pipeline Corporation is requesting the permit to extend an existing gas and water gathering system to well pads to be drilled south of Silt. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone at #720-889-9922 at any time. Sincerely, John Rheinheimer Director, Client and Project Services Enclosures 10355 Westmoor Drive, Suite 250 Westminster, CO 80021 www.kahunaventures.com Phone (303) 451-7374 FAX (303) 451-7394 kahuna@kahunaventures.com Table of Contents Garfield County Grading Permit Application Form Section 1 Grading Permit Application — Description and Back -Up Section 2 Vicinity Map and Pipeline Site Plan Section 3 Garfield County Noxious Weed List Section 4 Antero Resources Stormwater Management Plan Section 5 Garfield County Grading Permit Application Antero Resources Pipeline Valley Farms to McLin Pads — 12" Gas/Water Lines June 2, 2010 Applicant: Antero Resources Pipeline Corporation 1625 17th Street, Suite 300 Denver, CO 80202 Project Description and Location: Installation of a natural gas gathering system and produced water gathering system in Sections 11 & 12, Township 6 South, Range 92 West as shown on the enclosed maps. The pipelines will support Antero Resources ongoing natural gas production in the area. The project is located across four parcels listed below: Dixon Water Foundation Simonson Regulski McLin, Brit C. & Sharon T. Parcel No. 2179414-00-114 Parcel No. 2179-123-00-339 Parcel No. 2179-123-00-295 Parcel No. 2179-131-00-554 Antero proposes to install a 12" steel gas gathering line and two 12" poly water lines between the Valley Farms K Pad and the MeLin A Pad. The proposed Right -of -Way is approximately 5,100 feet in length and 50 feet in width during the construction process. The estimated area of disturbance is 255,000 sq. ft. or approximately 5.85 acres, The pipelines will be installed in the same ditch (6 ft. width) with a minimum cover of 48 inches (5 ft. depth). The anticipated dirt volume moved is approximately 5,700 cu. yd. The existing topography will be maintained after the pipelines are installed so no change in drainage pattern is expected. Vicinity Map — see attached maps Site Plan/Pipeline Route — see attached by River Valley Survey Letter of Authority — see attached copies of existing easements with the three landowners the pipeline will be crossing. Erosion Control Plan and Details —Erosion prevention best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented and maintained in accordance with Antero's approved Stormwater Management Plan dated August 2009 (attached). The BMP's described in the Plan will be utilized and inspected as necessary during the course of construction and revegetation of the ROW. The expected locations of the BMP's are shown on the Site Plan as indicated and the site plan supporting project maps are included in the most recent version of the company's SWMP. Major Grading Permit This permit application is considered a Major Grading Permit category due to the square feet disturbed (approximately 255,000 square feet). i) Revegetation and Reclamation Plan — see attached ii) Financial Security — Antero will provide a letter of credit or bond upon Garfield County's request, if required. Based on Garfield County's recommendation (Section 4 of the Weed Management and Reclamation Plan) of $2500 per acre, it is estimated the reclamation cost is $15,000. iii) Plans have been stamped by Professional Engineer Registered in Colorado — not required for pipeline excavations of this nature. Pipeline Project Although not required, the Site Plan does include some topographic contours in the area. The final grade after the pipeline installation will be the same as the existing grade prior to installation. Approved State Stormwater Management Plan — The most recent version of Antero's SWMP is attached for your review. Soils Report Not required as the maximum depth is less than 15 feet (actual anticipated depth is 5 feet) and the native slopes are less than 25%. Drainage Report Final grading is not anticipated to change the native drainage patterns. The existing drainage patterns will be maintained after the proposed pipeline installation. Grading Permit Fee — see enclosed check from Antero Resources in the amount of $400.00 and made out to the Garfield County Treasurer. Weed Management and Reclamation Plan Section 1— Soil Handling The proposed pipeline extension will disturb approximately 255,000 square feet (or approximately 5.85 acres) of surface during the construction process. This is based on a 50 foot wide Right -of -Way (ROW) along the 5,100 pipeline length. The actual volume of soil moved is based on a 5 foot deep pipeline trench that is 6 feet wide over the same length and totals approximately 5,700 cubic yards. Top soil will be scraped off first and stored in a separate spoil pile along the ROW for replacement once the final grade is restored after construction. The entire pipeline project should be completed in approximately 45 days once construction begins. Construction is anticipated to begin in late -July and be completed by early August, 2010. Erosion control will be in accordance with Antero's State approved Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (see attached) and the appropriate BMP's will be utilized along the ROW as needed. Weed -free straw will be utilized where straw bales or straw waddles are indicated for erosion prevention/control. Dust suppression will be handled by a water truck along the ROW on an as needed basis. Section 2 — Weed Management Plan Antero has obtained the latest County Listed Noxious Weeds from the Garfield County Vegetation Management Department and has included that in the application. Section 2.1 — General Survey Information Field inspections of the project area will be conducted by WestWater Engineering (WWE) biologists in the spring during the commencement of the weed growing season. WWE biologists will survey the area in and around the proposed pipeline project to identify vegetation communities and to search for, identify, and map noxious weed species. Vegetation types will be determined through field identification of plants, aerial photography, and on -the -ground assessment of plant abundance visible during the survey. Identification of plant species will be aided by using pertinent published field guides (Whitson et al. 2001, CWMA 2007, Kershaw et al. 1998, Weber and Wittmann 2001). Photographs will be taken of the general project location, vegetation, terrain, and other specific biological findings. Locations of weeds and other features to be included in this survey report will be recorded with the aid of a handheld global positioning system (GPS) receiver using NAD83/WGS84 map datum, with all coordinate locations based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system in Zone 13. Since the construction is proposed for the winter, Antero is not planning to pre -treat the ROW prior to commencing construction. In March, when the construction phase of the project is complete, Antero will seed the ROW prior to the growing season and on a monthly basis until the native/reseeding has taken hold of the disturbed ground. In addition, the weed treatment program will commence in the spring at the beginning of the weed growing season and after the weed survey has been completed. The weed treatment program consists of at least two treatments per year to address annual and perennial weed species. The treatment programs will be conducted in accordance to the recommendations presented in the weed survey report. The ROW will be inspected every two weeks after completion of construction to insure reseeding is effective and the weed control is working. The weed treatment program and reseeding efforts will enhance in response to the findings of these inspections. Section 3 — Site Revegetation and Reclamation Reseeding of the ROW will occur in the late-April/early-May timeframe depending on the weather conditions at the time. Antero will reseed the native ground with the seed mixtures listed below utilizing a tractor mounted delivery system. A portion of the ROW is on agricultural land and that section of the ROW will be reseeded with the appropriate crop as requested by the landowner. Antero proposes to use the following seed mix: Dry Land Mix Pure % Germ% Origin Crested Wheatgrass, Hycrest 19.58% 94% CAN Smooth Brome, Lincoln 18.17% 95% KS Perennial Ryegrass VNS 14.99% 90% OR Slender Wheatgrass, Revenue 14.62% 96% CAN Orchard grass, Renegade 14.37% 90% OR Tetraploid Intermediate Wheatgrass, Oahe 9.64% 94% WA Dahurian Wildrye, VNS 4.96% 98% CAN Irrigated Land Mix Orchard grass, Potomac 32.0% 90% OR Tall Rescue, Rustler 22,55% 92% OR Tetraploid Perennial Rye grass, Verano 19.51% 90% UK Smooth Brome, Lincoln 13.17% 95% KS Plant hydration, if inadequate through natural means, will be provided by tractor/truck mounted sprayers on an as needed basis until adequate re -vegetation has been established. Due to the gentle slope of the ground along the entire ROW, it is not expected that mulch or juke mats will be required to hold vegetation/seeds in place during the revegetation process. If a particular area warrants one of these stabilization methods, it will be utilized as needed. Interim and final reclamation measures shall be consistent with those outlined in the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's (COGCC) amended rules, effective April 1, 2009 (COGCC 2009). These regulations are expected to fulfill Garfield County's requirements for interim and final reclamation standards. Section 4 — Cost Estimate Since the proposed project is a pipeline project and the post -project grade will be restored to the pre -project grade Antero has used the County recommended $2500/acre to estimate the cost. Based on 6 total acres disturbed, the cost estimate is $15,000.

Signature �Q„tet0i?%,VIC1 V 044)M J Name Title Date 1 4._trz-7 2.0 INTRODUCTION On June 30, 2005, the State of Colorado stormwater regulation went into effect to require Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) permits from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) for stormwater discharges from construction activities associated with small construction activity for oil and gas sites that disturb between one and five acres. The Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) was prepared for Antero Resources (Antero) to be used for the Piceance Basin Gravel Trend Midstream Pipeline Program in accordance with good engineering, hydrologic, and pollution control practices to ensure that Best Management Practices (BMPs) are selected, installed, implemented, and maintained to protect surface water. This document contains the required elements of a SWMP associated with Antero's construction activities for the Project, as defined in the CDPS General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity, Authorization to Discharge Under the Colorado Discharge Permit System (Permit No. COR -030000, re -issued and effective July 1, 2007). Antero applied for coverage under the stormwater general permit and was issued COR -038500 for the Piceance Basin Gravel Trend Midstream Pipeline Program Area on July 5, 2005. The application and permit number were renewed at the re -issuance of the general permit. A copy of the permit documents for this project is provided in Appendix A. 3.0 SWMP ADMINISTRATOR The SWMP Administrator for Antero is responsible for the developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the SWMP. The SWMP Administrator has the authority to dedicate the financial and human resources to implement the SWMP. The SWMP Administrator is: Mr. Gerard G. Alberts — Manager, Environmental & Regulatory, Denver, Colorado Office: (303) 357-7341 Mobile: (720) 201-0160 The SWMP Administrator will ensure that the SWMP is followed and delegates responsibility for coordination of the SMWP inspections and maintenance of stormwater records to the Operations Manager. The Operations Manager will provide support for the SWMP Administrator with the implementation of the SWMP. The Operations Manager is: Mr, Jon Black — Operations Manager, Rifle, Colorado Office: (970) 625-9922 Mobile: (970) 231-1997 Both the SWMP Administrator and the Operations Manager will manage the SWMP Team. Other foremen or designated personnel may also assist in stormwater inspections and maintenance of records. Overall, the SWMP Team is responsible for: 2 Implementing spill/upset clean up procedures; • Notification to local authorities and local residents of reportable releases; • Coordinating various stages of BMPs and implementation; • Conducting inspections; • Maintenance of all records; and • Coordination of a preventive maintenance program and housekeeping measures. 4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 4.1 Nature of Construction Activity Antero is an exploration and production (E&P) company focused on acquiring and developing unconventional natural gas resources in North America. Antero currently owns or leases oil and natural gas mineral rights in the Piceance Basin, Garfield County, Colorado. Antero's Piceance Basin Gravel Trend Midstream Pipeline Program Area lies within Township 6 South, and Ranges 92 West and 93 West. The pipelines consist of an area approximately eighty feet in width known as a right-of-way (ROW). These ROW's can extend for several miles covering a multitude of surface land uses. A topographic map of the project area is provided as Figure 1. 4.2 Sequence of Major Activities The overall development of oil and natural gas pipeline is generally accomplished in a single phase of construction. The work completed and sequences of events are briefly discussed below. The pipeline installation contractor will adhere to the following sequence of operations unless otherwise approved or directed by Antero or the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) engineer/compliance officer. Revision to this sequence may be instituted if approved by the state engineer/compliance officer, in consultation with the BLM Authorized Officer (AO), if such modifications do not result in erosion or sedimentation at the site. Further control measures may be required by the project engineer or the BLM AO in special circumstances. Pipelines connect pad sites to other gathering operations within the basin. Pipeline connections are regularly maintained, added to, or repaired. The development of underground gas pipelines is generally accomplished in three distinct work phases. The first phase is the development (construction/completion/reclamation), and the second phase is the abandonment with final reclamation. Each work phase is briefly discussed below. 4.2.1 Development (Construction/Completion/Reclamation) — Active Site The development phase includes the following activities: develop access; install vehicle tracking control; install silt fence around stabilized staging areas; install silt fence and or berms on the down gradient limit of construction for erosion and sediment control; and install straw bales 3 (LkW• STATE OF COLORADO Bill Ritter, Jr,, Governor James Et, Martin, Executive Director Dedicated to protecting and improving the health and environment of the people of Colorado 4300 Cherry Creek Dr. S.
