PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST Special Use Permit for "Material Handling" for an
8 -inch water tine
APPLICANT EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc.
LOCATION From Buckhorn Drive in the City of Rifle in a
southeast direction to the Hunter Mesa Water
Treatment Facility
SITE DATA 5.87 miles of an 8" water line
ACCESS CR 319
ZONING ARRD / OS (BLM)
SURROUNDING ZONING ARRD / OS (BLM)
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Applicant proposes to construct an 8" water line and related facilities that will deliver fresh
water from the Last Chance Ditch in the City of Rifle to the Hunter Mesa Water Treatment
Facility in Garfield County. This water will be used, along with water processed at the Hunter
Mesa Water Treatment Facility, for continued well drilling and completion work in the area. The
line is proposes to convey approximately 504,000 gallons/day (350 gallons per minute, 12,000
barrels per day, 1.547 acre-feet per day). The purpose of the line is to transfer water more
efficiently while reducing the reliance on heavy water hauling trucks in the area. The water line
will cross seven private properties and two tracts of public (BLM) property. This proposal will
eliminate the trucks that are presently pulling water from the Last Chance Ditch on County Road
346.
The proposed pipeline will begin at the proposed pump station located at the Last Chance
Irrigation Ditch at 700 Buckhom Drive in the limits of the City of Rifle. The EnCana River
Water Pump Station will consist of an electric -motor driven vertical turbine pump within a small
building (approximately 20' X 20') located on private land in the City of Rifle. The building will
be designed to enclose the water pump and associated electrical controls. The trump building will
• .. + + as we as providing sound damping for
the water pump. This pump building is presently under review by the Rifle Planning Department.
The proposed 8" pipeline is approximately 31,024 linear feet in total length; approximately 9,812
feet is located on federal Iand (BLM) and approximately 21,212 feet on private land for a total
length of approximately 5.87 miles. The proposed pipeline will be constructed with of 8", 0.219-
inch wall thickness, Grade X-42 steel pipe with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 740
psig.
The Applicant plans to use a 70 -foot wide corridor for construction purposes. Once the
construction is complete, the Applicant intends to adjust the easement to a permanent 50 -foot
wide right-of-way governing the operational and maintenance purposes for the waterline. As of
the time of submittal of this application, verbal surface use agreements with the appropriate
private property owners have been made. Since that time, this office understands those formal
surface use agreements have all be signed and will be delivered to the County.
The Applicant has flagged and surveyed the proposed route. The route will run from the Last
Chance Ditch at 700 Buckhorn Drive in Rifle generally east toward the Garfield County Airport,
then turning south through Section 23 generally parallel to West Mamm Creek Road (Garfield
County Road 319). The pipeline route leaves West Mamm Creek Road in the NW/4 SE/4 of
Section 26 and follows an existing field road into Section 36, and then parallels existing pipelines
and roads to EnCana's Hunter Mesa Water Treatment Plant in the SE/4 NE/4 of Section 1,
Township 7 South, Range 93 West, Garfield County, Colorado. A minimum distance of 25' from
the centerline of existing foreign pipelines and 10' from EnCana pipelines will be maintained at
all times. All sections of the proposed pipeline will be buried at least 5' below grade, except at
road crossings where the depth will be increased to 6'.
EnCana shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as they
relate to public health, safety and environmental protection in the construction, operation, and
maintenance of this facility. No toxic substances will be stored or used on the light -of -way. All
safety measures have been considered in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of
the facility. EnCana will have inspectors present during construction. All associated road and
utility permits will be secured from the appropriate regulatory agency prior to construction. The
necessary permits to be submitted for the proposed pipeline include:
1) Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: "Storm Water Management
Plan"
2) Bureau of Land Management: Form 299: "Application for Transportation and Utility
Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands."
3) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: "Nationwide Permit 12 Section 404"
4) City of Rifle: "Site Plan Application" for pump building
5) City of Rifle: "Watershed District Permit"
6) Garfield County Road and Bridge Department: "Road Crossing Permit"
7) Surface Use Agreements: "Agreements providing permission to cross private property"
II. REFERRALS
Staff rerirrrea the application out to the following review agencies and or County Departments:
b. Rifle Fire Protection District: No Comments Received
c. County Vegetation Management Director: (Exhibit X)
The County Vegetation Manager reviewed the application and suggests the following
conditions should the Board approve the request:
2
a. In order to comply with the requirements of the County Vegetation Manager, the
Applicant or their successors in interest shall provide a written commitment to
inspect, monitor, and be responsible for the management of any of Garfield County's
Noxious Weeds that may emerge on private lands that are disturbed by the pipeline.
This commitment shall be in effect for the life of the pipeline and shall include a
commitment to respond to any complaints by landowners regarding pipeline noxious
weeds in a timely manner. This commitment shall include cooperation with the
Bureau of Land Management in developing a weed management plan for any noxious
weed infestations that occur on the pipeline within BLM land.
b. The Applicant shall post a revegetation security for the portions of the pipeline that
are not located on Bureau of Land Management property. The Applicant shall
quantify the surface area disturbed (in acres) on private lands so that the County
Vegetation Manager may determine a security amount. The security shall be held by
Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the
Reclamation Standards in the Garfield County Weed Management Plan. It shall be
the responsibility of the Applicant to contact the County, upon successful revegetation
establishment, to request an inspection for security release consideration. No Special
Use Permit shall be issued until this security has been posted.
d. City of Rife: (Exhibit G)
Encana will need a Watershed District Permit from the City for the construction of the
pipeline as it falls within the City's jurisdiction under the Watershed Ordinance and
regulated activities. They have a site plan application pending for pump station. From a
land user perspective, our only concern is with who uses the water. The City has no
objection to Encana piping water for its needs, because of the obvious benefit of
removing water trucks from the road network. The City recommends the County include
language that restricts the use of the pipeline to Encana for gas extraction. The condition
might read:
"The subject pipeline shall be used to deliver water solely for the applicants use in the
extraction of gas. Any secondary taps to the water line by third parties or secondary use
by the applicant shall require an amendment to this special use permit and proof that said
third parties possess rights to water being distributed through the pipeline."
e. Bureau of Land Management: No Comments Received
f. Colorado Division of Wildlife: No Comments Received
g. Colorado Division of Water Resources: No Comments Received
h. US Corps of Engineers: Verbally indicated that the all necessary Corps permits have been
Ltjagji f
Garfield County Road & Bridge Department: (Exhibit I)
The water pipeline and all construction must stay outside the County ROW. The road
crossing permit for the water pipeline will be issued as to the latest drawing when the
SUP is final. The road crossing is located in a place that is acceptable to our department.
Garfield County Oil & Gas Auditor: (Exhibit 11)
1) Due to the size of the disturbance associated with this project (i.e., greater than 5
acres), it is my understanding that this project will also be subject to the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE's) storm water permitting
requirements. I would recommend that the applicant either provide a copy of the
storm water permit for this project or provide justification for why no permit is
required. If such a permit is required, then it will need to be identified in the list of
required permits provided in several locations in the application.
2) I would also recommend that applicant ensure that they have complied with all of
CDPHE's permitting requirements related to discharge of hydro -testing water. If a
permit is required, then it will need to be identified in the list of required permits
provided in several locations in the application.
3) I recommend that the applicant be required to provide documentation that they have
the rights to the water to be pumped through this pipeline from the Last Chance Ditch.
4) For consistency with SUP applications I have reviewed for other pipeline projects, I
would recommend that the applicant also be required to identify the source of the
water that will be used for hydro -testing and demonstrate that they have the required
rights to such water.
k. Resource Engineering: (Exhibit P)
EnCana currently holds a West Divide Water Conservancy District water allotment contract for
350 acre feet of Ruedi Reservoir replacement water for its operations in the Colorado River
basin. We confirmed with the Division of Water Resources that EnCana can divert its water into
the Last Chance Ditch through an administrative direct exchange (no State approval is required).
EnCana must obtain approval from owners of the Last Chance Ditch (Loesch & Crann Ditch
Company) or seek judicial approval to convey its water through the ditch. A draft agreement
between the parties dated July 26, 2004 was submitted. The agreement contemplates a seven
year agreement with the right to extend the agreement another seven years. The County may
want to include a provision that the applicant must maintain a legal water supply and approval to
use the Last Chance Ditch.
IIL GARFIELD COUNTY ZONING RESOLUTION
As required in the County's Zoning Resolution, special uses shall adequately address the
following three review criteria from Section 5.03, 5.03.07 and 5.3.08:
Section 5.03
(1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted
engineering standards and approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall
either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use;
4
Staff Response
The project consists primarily as an unmanned water line and pump building. This use does not
require the long-term permanent provision of utilities related to wastewater. Regarding the
provision of water, the purpose of the pipeline is to convey raw water from the Last Chance Ditch
to the Hunter Mesa Water Treatment Facility. The Applicant provided water rights
documentation indicating that they have the rights to the needed water in the ditch. This
documentation is provided in Exhibits L, M, and 0). The water will be monitored at the output
from the pump into the pipe conveying the water to the Hunter Mesa facility.
Water Rights
The Applicant has obtained an approved augmentation contract from West Divide Water
Conservancy District for 350 acre-feet to be taken out of the Last Chance Ditch to be used for
drilling and completion of oil / gas wells in Garfield County. In addition, the Division of Water
Resources has approved a substitute supply plan subject to certain conditions listed in Exhibit M.
Lastly, the Applicant is presently entering into an agreement between the Loesch & Crann Ditch
Company which is the owner and operator of the Last Chance Ditch. In this agreement, the ditch
company agrees to allow the Applicant to utilize the Last Chance Ditch for diversion and
transportation of Encana's water provided by the West Divide Water Conservancy District (350
acre feet). This proposed contract is for 7 years while the proposed life of the pipeline is 30 years.
This will need to be addressed. Staff forwarded the application to Resource Engineering in order
to review the water rights documentation and found that the documentation of water rights were
intact and can legally provide the amount of water proposed for the use as proposed in the
application.
Resource Engineering stated; "EnCana currently holds a West Divide Water Conservancy
District water allotment contract for 350 acre feet of Ruedi Reservoir replacement water for its
operations in the Colorado River basin. We confirmed with the Division of Water Resources that
EnCana can divert its water into the Last Chance Ditch through an administrative direct exchange
(no State approval is required). EnCana must obtain approval from owners of the Last Chance
Ditch (Loesch & Crann Ditch Company) or seek judicial approval to convey its water through the
ditch. A draft agreement between the parties dated July 26, 2004 was submitted. The agreement
contemplates a seven year agreement with the right to extend the agreement another seven years.
The County may want to include a provision that the applicant must maintain a legal water
supply and approval to use the Last Chance Ditch." (See Exhibit P)
(2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the
proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place
or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use;
Staff Response
Wised use will not generate any measurable traffic impacts that will require street
improvements. There may be limited trips to the pump house for mechanical service /
maintenance reasons; however, these trips will be extremely limited. The Applicant asserts that
one of the primary reasons for constructing the water line is to reduce the number of large trucks
that haul water which will further reduce impacts to the integrity of the County road system. The
proposed route will cross County Road 319 in one place just as the road enters the Benzel
5
Livestock Co. property. The Applicant proposes to bore underneath the road so that a road cut is
unnecessary.
The Applicant states that "during pipeline and facility construction, all equipment and vehicular
access into the pipeline project will be confined to approved existing roads and the established
right-of-way corridor. No major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. All
working areas will be confined to the requested right-of-way." In addition, "during typical usage
the proposed pipeline and associate facilities are expected to require a minimal amount of vehicle
trips for operation and maintenance purposes. Vehicles will operate primarily during daylight
hours and will travel on existing private and public roads that already provide access in the West
Mamm Creek area. Therefore the new facility is not expected to require specific improvements to
the existing roads."
Staff referred the application to the Road and Bridge Department which commented that the
water pipeline and all construction must stay outside the County ROW. The road crossing permit
for the water pipeline will be issued as to the latest drawing when the SUP is final. The road
crossing is located in a place that is acceptable to our department (Exhibit 1). Staff finds this
standard is met.
(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;
Staff Response
The pipeline itself will be buried at least 5 feet below grade. There will be sporadic above ground
air vent valves along the line that will rise above the ground by approximately 4 feet which will
be painted with "Carlsbad Canyon 2.5 Y 6/2" color or similar color to blend in with the
surrounding to blend in with the surrounding environment. The Applicant proposes a 70 -foot
wide "construction easement" for the purposes of constructing and installing the pipe. This
easement will be reduced to 50 -feet when the line is installed and easement reclaimed. While the
line is buried and does not need screening, the path that is cut along the landscape will be visible
as it is cleared of all vegetation for the pipe installation.
The Applicant proposes a revegetation plan that includes the following measures:
1. D'srurbe.d_Ar
original condition.
2, Erosion: Erosion control structures such as water bars or "kicker dikes" will be
constructed. Water bars will be placed approximately every 25' on steep slopes to prevent
erosion over the 'right-of-way. Steep slope breaks will also be made impassable to
vehicular traffic by using deep water bars, leaving them rough.
6
3. Weed Control: EnCana shall be responsible for weed control on disturbed areas within
the limits of the right-of-way. EnCana will be responsible for consultation with the
authorized officer and/or local authorities for acceptable weed control methods (within
limits imposed in the grant stipulation).
4. Drainages: The banks of drainage crossings will be returned and stabilized to their
original slope to avoid ramping and opening them to livestock and vehicle traffic.
5. Visuals: Where applicable, the upper rim rock will be replaced to discourage traffic and
mitigate visual scarring.
6. Seeding: EnCana will seed all disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor with the
recommended seed mixtures as provided by the BLM, and summarized in the attached
table.
In addition, the Applicant proposes the following planting scheme: "Seed shall be planted using a
drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting where drilling is possible.
The seed mixture shall be evenly and uniformly planted over the disturbed area. Where drilling is
not possible, seed shall be broadcast and the area shall be raked or chained to cover the seed.
When broadcasting the seed, the pounds per acre will be doubled. Steep slopes will not be drill
seeded so to avoid establishing rills. The seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is
established as determined by the authorized officer. Evaluation of growth will not be made before
completion of the first growing season after seeding. The authorized officer will be notified a
minimum of 5 days prior to the seeding of the project. Seeding will occur during spring or late
fall seasons when ground frost is not present."
As a matter of construction, the Application states that the top 6 inches of topsoil in a portion of
the right-of-way will be removed, conserved during excavation, and reused as cover on disturbed
areas to facilitate revegetation. Trenching will be performed with a trencher. Side -boom tractors
will be used to place the pipeline in the trench after the pipe has been welded and coated. After
the pipeline is in place, the trench will be backfilled using an angle dozer or auger. If rocks are
present, the pipe will be padded and shaded with a bucket shaker or an "Ozzie Padder", there are
to be no berms. No foreign rock to the surface will remain exposed.
Reclamation: The expected life of the EnCana River Water Pipeline is 30 years. Reclamation
will consist of the following:
➢ Removal of all surface equipment and appurtenances.
➢ Restoration and re -contouring of grade to approximate original conditions.
> Replacement of stockpiled topsoil.
• Compliance with all prevailing Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and
Garfield County regulations governing reclamation.
• Prior to termination of the right-of-way, EnCana shall contact the authorized Federal
the termination provision of the grant.
The County Vegetation Manager reviewed the application and suggests the following conditions
should the Board approve the request:
a. In order to comply with the requirements of the County Vegetation Manager, the
Applicant or their successors in interest shall provide a written commitment to inspect,
7
monitor, and be responsible for the management of any of Garfield County's Noxious
Weeds that may emerge on private lands that are disturbed by the pipeline. This
commitment shall be in effect for the life of the pipeline and shall include a commitment
to respond to any complaints by landowners regarding pipeline noxious weeds in a timely
manner. This commitment shall include cooperation with the Bureau of Land
Management in developing a weed management plan for any noxious weed infestations
that occur on the pipeline within BLM land.
b. The Applicant shall post a revegetation security for the portions of the pipeline that are
not located on Bureau of Land Management property. The Applicant shall quantify the
surface area disturbed (in acres) on non -Federal lands so that the County Vegetation
Manager may determine a security amount. The security shall be held by Garfield County
until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the Reclamation
Standards in the Garfield County Weed Management Plan. It shall be the responsibility
of the Applicant to contact the County, upon successful revegetation establishment, to
request an inspection for security release consideration. No Special Use Permit shall be
issued until this security has been posted.
Section 5.03.07 Industrial Operation
Industrial Operations, including [but not limited to] extraction, processing, fabrication,
industrial support facilities, mineral waste disposal, storage, sanitary landfill, salvage yard,
access routes and utility lines, shall be permitted, provided:
1) The applicant for a permit for industrial operations shall prepare and submit to the
Planning Director ten (10) copies of an impact statement on the proposed use
describing its location, scope, design and construction schedule, including an
explanation of its operational characteristics. One (1) copy of the impact statement
shall be filed with the County Commissioners by the Planning Director: The impact
statement shall address the following:
a) Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of surface run-off,
streams flow or ground water;
Staff Finding
As mentioned above, the project consists primarily as an unmanned water line and
pump building. This use does not reuir
a provd . e water or handle wastewater. The purpose of the pipeline is to convey raw
water from the Last Chance Ditch to the Hunter Mesa Water Treatment Facility. The
Applicant provided water rights documentation indicating that they have the rights to
the needed water in the ditch. This is included in Exhibits L, M, 0, and P. Staff sent the
application to the Division of Water Resources and did not get any response. The water
will be monitored at the output from the pump into the pipe conveying the water to the
Hunter Mesa facility.
8
b) Impacts on adjacent land front the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare
or vibration, or other emanations;
Staff Finding
The water line will not emit any measurable vibration; however, the Applicant states
that "the proposed water pump station is expected to emanate minimal amounts of
vibration. The planned pump building will aid in mitigating this noise and vibration.
The vibration, if any, should be localized to a small area immediately surrounding the
pump. If, in the unlikely event, nuisance noise, vibration, or odors are emanated by the
facility, additional measures will be taken to control them."
The pump building is located in the City of Rifle and not in Garfield County. The
Application states that "the proposed pipeline and associated facilities will not affect
area air quality as none of the permanent structures will emit air pollutants. A federal or
state emission permit will not be required for this proposed project." Staff suggests the
Board require the Applicant to submit an approved site plan application from the City of
Rifle approving the pump building portion of the proposal prior to the issuance of any
Special Use Permit.
c) Impacts on wildlife and domestic animals through the creation of hazardous
attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, blockade of migration routes,
use patterns or other disruptions;
Staff Finding
The Application states that the proposed pipeline and associated facilities will occupy
approximately 50 acres overall. According to wildlife distribution maps from the
Colorado Department of Wildlife, a portion of the pipeline is located within summer
rangeland for mule deer and elk and is within migration corridors for these animals. The
characteristics of the proposed buried pipeline will not block wildlife migration routes.
The pump building is located in an industrially / commercially developed area of the
City of Rifle and will not impact wildlife.
d) Affirmatively show the impacts of truck and automobile traffic to and from such
arses and their impacts to areas in the County;
Staff Finding
1.1+ �1
._ ,,.• - - , , , t . e sp-ct is
region where the gas drilling operations are located. At present, large diesel trucks are
used to haul water from the Last Chance Ditch and the Colorado River to the Hunter
Mesa site as well as other drilling sites. This waterline will significantly reduce the need
for those trucks which will remove those trucks from impacting the County road
system.
e) That sufficient distances shall separate such use from abutting property which
9
might otherwise be damaged by operations of the proposed use(s);
Staff Finding
The waterline crosses 7 private properties and will be situated within a 70 to 50 -foot
wide right-of-way which has been granted approval by all of the private property
owners to Encana.
j) Mitigation measures proposed for all of the foregoing impacts identified and for
the standards identified in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution
Staff Finding
The mitigation for impacts generated from the proposed operations is included in the
following section.
2) Permits may be granted for those uses with provisions that provide adequate
mitigation for the following:
a) A plan for site rehabilitation must be approved by the County Commissioners
before a permit for conditional or special use will be issued;
b) The County Commissioners may require security before a permit for special or
conditional use is issued, if required. The applicant shall furnish evidence of a
bank commitment of credit, bond, certified check or other security deemed
acceptable by the County Commissioners in the amount calculated by the County
Commissioners to secure the execution of the site rehabilitation plan in
workmanlike manner and in accordance with the specifications and construction
schedule established or approved by the County Commissioners. Such
commitments, bonds or check shall be payable to and held by the County
Commissioners;
c) Impacts set forth in the impact statement and compliance with the standards
contained in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution.
Staff Finding
As discussed above, the proposal includes a revegetation plan that includes the
following measures:
1. Disturbed Areas: All disturbed areas will be final graded to as close as possible to its
original condition.
2. Erosion: Erosion control structures such as water bars or "kicker dikes" will be
constructed. Water bars will be placed approximately every 25 -feet on steep slopes
to prevent erosion over the right-of-way. Steep slope breaks will also be made
impassable to vehicular traffic by using deep water bars, leaving them rough.
3. Weed Control: EnCana shall be responsible for weed control on disturbed areas
•L.+th,n tl t . trn r'a %li'ne responsible for consultation
with the authorized officer and/or local authorities for acceptable weed control
methods (within limits imposed in the grant stipulation).
4. Drainages: The banks of drainage crossings will be returned and stabilized to their
original slope to avoid ramping and opening them to livestock and vehicle traffic.
5. Visuals: Where applicable, the upper rim rock will be replaced to discourage traffic
and mitigate visual scarring.
10
6. Seeding: EnCana will seed all disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor with the
recommended seed mixtures as provided by the BLM, and summarized in the
attached table.
In addition, the Applicant proposes the following planting scheme: Seed shall be
planted using a drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting
where drilling is possible. The seed mixture shall be evenly and uniformly planted over
the disturbed area. Where drilling is not possible, seed shall be broadcast and the area
shall be raked or chained to cover the seed. When broadcasting the seed, the pounds per
acre will be doubled. Steep slopes will not be drill seeded so to avoid establishing rills.
The seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is established as determined by
the authorized officer. Evaluation of growth will not be made before completion of the
first growing season after seeding. The authorized officer will be notified a minimum of
5 days prior to the seeding of the project. Seeding will occur during spring or late fall
seasons when ground frost is not present.
As a matter of construction, the Application states that the top 6 inches of topsoil in a
portion of the right-of-way will be removed, conserved during excavation, and reused as
cover on disturbed areas to facilitate revegetation. Trenching will be performed with a
trencher. Side -boom tractors will be used to place the pipeline in the trench after the
pipe has been welded and coated. After the pipeline is in place, the trench will be
backfilled using an angle dozer or auger. If rocks are present, the pipe will be padded
and shaded with a bucket shaker or an "Ozzie Padder", there are to be no berms. No
foreign rock to the surface will remain exposed.
Reclamation: The expected life of the EnCana River Water Pipeline is 30 years.
Reclamation will consist of the following:
> Removal of all surface equipment and appurtenances.
> Restoration and re -contouring of grade to approximate original conditions.
> Replacement of stockpiled topsoil.
> Compliance with all prevailing Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
and Garfield County regulations governing reclamation.
> Prior to termination of the right-of-way, EnCana shall contact the authorized
Federal officer to arrange a pre -termination conference. This conference will be
held to review the termination provision of the grant.
The County Vegetation Manager reviewed the application and suggests the following
conditions should the Board approve the request:
a. In order to comply with the re•uirements of the Count Veuetation
manager, the App ican or t eir successors in interest shall provide a written
commitment to inspect, monitor, and be responsible for the management of any of
Garfield County's Noxious Weeds that may emerge on private lands that are disturbed
by the pipeline. This commitment shall be in effect for the life of the pipeline and shall
include a commitment to respond to any complaints by landowners regarding pipeline
noxious weeds in a timely manner. This commitment shall include cooperation with the
Bureau of Land Management in developing a weed management plan for any noxious
11
weed infestations that occur on the pipeline within BLM land.
b. The Applicant shall post a revegetation security for the portions of the
pipeline that are not located on Bureau of Land Management property. The Applicant
shall quantify the surface area disturbed (in acres) on non -Federal lands so that the
County Vegetation Manager may determine a security amount. The security shall be
held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according
to the Reclamation Standards in the Garfield County Weed Management Plan. It shall
be the responsibility of the Applicant to contact the County, upon successful
revegetation establishment, to request an inspection for security release consideration.
No Special Use Permit shall be issued until this security has been posted.
Section 5.03.08 Industrial Performance Standards
All industrial operations in the County shall comply with applicable County, State, and Federal
regulations regulating water, air and noise pollution and shall not be conducted in a manner
constituting a public nuisance or hazard. Operations shall be conducted in such a manner as to
minimize heat, dust, smoke, vibration, glare and odor and all other undesirable environmental
effects beyond the boundaries of the property in which such uses are located, in accord with the
following standards:
1) Volume of sound generated shall comply with the standards set forth in the Colorado
Revised Statutes at the time any new application is made.
Staff Finding
The pipeline itself will not generate any sound of any measurable impact. The pump that pulls
the water from the Last Chance Ditch into the water line will generate noise but is located in
the City of Rifle. The Applicant proposes to enclose the pump in a pump building to dampen
the sound as well as protect the pump from the elements.
The Applicant asserts the following in their impact statement: "Noise from the construction
activities will create a temporary disruption of ambient conditions; however, any disruption
should be of relatively short duration. The proposed water pump station is expected to
emanate low-level noise and possibly minimal amounts of vibration. The planned pump
building will aid in mitigating this noise and vibration. The sound level of noise emanating
from the facility will not exceed the 75 decibel maximum set forth in Colorado Revised
Statute 25-12-103. As the planned pump station location is in an industrial / commercial area
remote, noise will not be a nuisance to area residents. The vibration, if any, should be
localized to a small area immediately surrounding the pump. If, in the unlikel event,
nuisa, - I • ' , ' •. a - c t t y, a s ti Iona measures will be
taken to control them." The pump building is located in the City of Rifle and not in Garfield
County.
2) Vibration generated: every use shall be so operated that the ground vibration inherently
and recurrently generated is not perceptible, without instruments, at any point of any
boundary line of the property on which the use is located;
12
Staff Finding
Again, the water line will not emit any measurable vibration; however, the Applicant states
that "the proposed water pump station is expected to emanate minimal amounts of vibration.
The planned pump building will aid in mitigating this noise and vibration. The vibration, if
any, should be localized to a small area immediately surrounding the pump. If, in the unlikely
event, nuisance noise, vibration, or odors are emanated by the facility, additional measures
will be taken to control them." Again, the pump building is located in the City of Rifle and
not in Garfield County.
3) Emissions of smoke and particulate matter: every use shall be operated so as to comply
with all Federal, State and County air quality laws, regulations and standards;
Staff Finding
The Application states that "the proposed pipeline and associated facilities will not affect area
air quality as none of the permanent structures will emit air pollutants. A federal or state
emission permit will not be required for this proposed project."
4) Emission of heat, glare, radiation and filmes: every use shall be so operated that it does not
emit heat, glare, radiation or fumes which substantially interfere with the existing use of
adjoining property or which constitutes a public nuisance or hazard. Flaring of gases,
aircraft warning signals, reflective painting of storage tanks, or other such operations
which may be required by law as safety or air pollution control measures shall be exempted
from this provision;
Staff Finding
The waterline or the pump inside the pump building will not emanate heat, glare, radiation, or
fumes that will substantially interfere with the uses on the adjoining properties. The
Application did contain fire control provisions to be observed during the construction phase
of the project. These include the following:
General
All facility or operations personnel are instructed as to: 1) Be aware of local area fire
danger for each day, 2) Location of fire control equipment, 3) Proper operation offire
control equipment, and 4) Emergency procedures and how to call for additional
resources
Welding & Hot Work Operations
a. A minimum of one person is dedicated to act as a fire watch during welding or hot
work operations with a fire extinguisher at hand;
b. Welding shields are used during grinding operations to prevent sparks from leaving
work areas and i . ni
ater trucks are used to wet down ground and nearby vegetation, as conditions
dictate; and
d. At the close of each day, personnel inspect the area of welding or hot work activities
for any smoldering debris and any conditions conducive to fires.
13
Communications
EnCana or Contractor vehicles are typically equipped with cellular communications on
board.
In the event of a fire
a. In the event of a fire, all personnel and appropriate equipment on site will be
committed to fire containment and control;
b. The BLM and appropriate fire authorities will be notified immediately; and
c. Direction offire control efforts will be transferred to appropriate fire fighting agency
personnel upon their arrival on site.
5) Storage area, salvage yard, sanitary landfill and mineral waste disposal areas:
a) Storage of flammable or explosive solids or gases shall be in accordance with
accepted standards and laws and shall comply with the national, state and local fire
codes and written recommendations/comments from the appropriate local protection
district regarding compliance with the appropriate codes;
Staff Finding
The proposal does not include the storage of any flammable or explosive solids or
gases.
b) At the discretion of the County Commissioners, all outdoor storage facilities may be
required to be enclosed by fence, landscaping or wall adequate to conceal such
facilities from adjacent property;
Staff Finding
The proposal does not include outdoor storage of any kind.
c) No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a property in such form or manner
that they may be transferred off the property by any reasonably foreseeable natural
causes or forces;
Staff Finding
While it appears the proposal will not include the storage or deposit of materials or
wastes, Staff suggests the Board include this standard as a condition of approval that
could also apply to the construction portion of the project.
d) Storage of Heavy Equipment will only be allowed subject to (A) and (C) above and the
following standards:
ii. The equipment storage area is not placed any closer than 300 ft. from any existing
residential dwelling.
iii. All equipment storage will be enclosed in an area with screening at least eight (8)
feet in height and obscured from view at the same elevation or lower. Screening
may include bawling, landscaping, sight obscuring fencing or a combination of any
of these methods.
14
iv. Any repair and maintenance activity requiring the use of equi inent that will
generate noise, odors or glare beyond the property boundaries will be conducted
within a building or outdoors during the hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mon. -Fri.
v. Loading and unloading of vehicles shall be conducted on private property and may
not be conducted on any public right-of-way.
Staff Finding
The proposal does not include the storage of any heavy equipment. However, Staff does
question where the heavy earth moving equipment and pipeline laying equipment will
be stored during the construction phase. Should the Board approve the request, Staff
suggests the Applicant propose a construction schedule and indicate where staging areas
are to be located to be used during construction.
e) Any storage area for uses not associated with natural resources shall not exceed ten
(10) acres in size.
f) Any lighting of storage area shall be pointed downward and inward to the property
center and shaded to prevent direct reflection on adjacent property.
Staff Finding
The proposal does not include any permanent storage. Any lighting to be included shall
be directed inward and downward towards the interior of the property. It appears this
may only apply to the pump house.
6) Water pollution: in a case in which potential hazards exist, it shall be necessary to install
safeguards designed to comply with the Regulations of the Environmental Protection
Agency before operation of the facilities may begin. All percolation tests or ground water
resource tests as may be required by local or State Health Officers must be met before
operation of the facilities may begin.
Staff Finding
There does not appear to be any risk or potential hazard for pollution to groundwater. The
water being transferred from the Last Chance Ditch is raw irrigation water which will not
harm groundwater in there event there is a leak. The pump in the pump house is powered by
electricity rather than flammable fuel.
Regarding the waterline and storm water management, because the area of ground
disturbance is greater than 5 acres to construct the line, Encana is required by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to put in place a Storm Water
Management Plan which is periodically audited by CDPHE. Encana currently has an
umbrella plan for the larger area for their drilling operations in place. In addition, Encana has
crafted a specific plan for this waterline project which will be put in place to govern storm
Water Mana_ement .r c emen ' an
Construction Best management Practices to the permit applications for both the Army
Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management.
Staff suggests, should the Board approve this request, the "Construction, Operation, and
Maintenance Plan" which is included in the permit application for Stormwater Management
Plan be considered conditions of approval for all activity on private land as well as public
lands.
15
Along the route over the seven private properties, the proposed line crosses eight ephemeral
drainages/ washes including Dry Creek. As such, SWCA Environmental Services prepared an
application on behalf of the Applicant to the Army Corps of Engineers that demonstrated how
those crossings will be treated. Seven of the eight crossings will use open -trench methods due
their small size and the Dry Creek crossing will occur via a boring entirely under the wash.
The application contains an extensive Best Management Practices for Storm Water
Management Plan that includes a "Construction, Operation, and Maintenance Plan" that has
been approved by the Corps that specifically addresses how all the crossings are to be treated
with respect to erosion and sediment control. As a matter of clarification, the Corps only
evaluates / regulates private property and this evaluation and approval does not apply to the
BLM portion of the route. In recent phone conversations with the Corps of Engineers, they
have approved the proposal and issued the Nationwide Permit 12 Section 404 permit.
Applicant's proposed Impact Statement
The proposed pipeline has been planned and designed for a number of beneficial reasons. The
proposed pipeline will transport water in a safe and innocuous manner in comparison to other
methods of water hauling. The proposed pipeline will shorten truck trips and lessen the need for
truck travel to the Hunter Mesa facility. The operation of the proposed pipeline will not differ
significantly from the surrounding oil and gas exploration and production related land uses.
The pipeline will be in continuous use and operation 24 -hours per, day during the irrigation
season, approximately March until November, each year. The line would be drained for freeze
protection during winter months. Maintenance and operation activities will occur as needed,
however, the majority of activity associated with the proposed pipeline will occur during normal
business hours.
During pipeline and facility construction, all equipment and vehicular access into the pipeline
project will be confined to approved existing roads and the established right -of- way corridor.
No major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. All working areas will be
confined to the requested right-of-way.
During typical usage the proposed pipeline and associate facilities are expected to require a
minimal amount of vehicle trips for operation and maintenance purposes. Vehicles will operate
primarily during daylight hours and will travel on existing private and public roads that already
provide access in the West Mamtn Creek area. Therefore the new facility is not expected to
require specific improvements to the existing roads.
A cultural resource inventory for the proposed route has been completed. The report has been
submitted to the Bureau of Land Management, Glenwood Springs Field 0 we in Glenwood
s, monumen si es, o+}ects or antiquities subject to the
Antiques Act of June 8, 1906, or Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, are
discovered, the activities shall cease immediately and the responsible authorized officer shall be
notified. If any fossils are discovered during construction, the operator shall cease construction
immediately and notify the authorized BLM officer so as to determine the significance of the
discovery.
16
The proposed pipeline and associated facilities will not affect area air quality as none of the
permanent structures will emit air pollutants. A federal or state emission permit will not be
required for this proposed project.
The aboveground structures related to the proposed pipeline shall be painted to blend with the
surrounding landscape. Visual quality objectives for the land management unit shall not be
adversely impacted.
The proposed pipeline crosses numerous ephemeral drainages; however, surface or ground
water quality and quantity should not be affected. The facility design will preclude any pollution
to enter surface run-off There will be no sewage or solid waste generated by the proposed
pipeline or associated facilities. The pipeline will be hydro -tested prior to being placed in
service. Prior to any discharge, hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if
necessary, to ensue that the water meets local, state or federal water quality standards. Prior to
discharge of hydrostatic testing water from the pipeline, EnCana will design and install a
suitable energy dissipater at the outlets, and design and install suitable channel protection
structures necessary to ensure that there will be no erosion or scouring of natural channels
within the affected watershed as a result of such discharge. Sandbags, rock, or other materials or
objects installed shall be removed from the site upon completion of hydrostatic testing.
Noise from the construction activities will create a temporary disruption of ambient conditions;
however, any disruption should be of relatively short duration. The proposed water pump station
is expected to emanate low-level noise and possibly minimal amounts of vibration. The planned
pump building will aid in mitigating this noise and vibration. The sound level of noise emanating
from the facility will not exceed the 75 decibel maximum set forth in Colorado Revised Statute
25-12-103. As the planned pump station location is in an industrial / commercial area remote,
noise will not be a nuisance to area residents. The vibration, if any, should be localized to a
small area immediately surrounding the pump. If in the unlikely event, nuisance noise, vibration,
or odors are emanated by the facility, additional measures will be taken to control them.
The construction of the proposed facility will not have any significant visual impact on the
surrounding environment. Any actual construction impacts will be temporary. The visual impact
of the completed pipeline and facilities to the area will be negligible due to the minimal amount
of surface equipment associated with the facilities. Landscaping information is provided in Part
VII.
The facilities and structures associated with the proposed pipeline will be protected by fencing or
other means to limit access to authorized operation personnel only. Signage for the proposed
pipeline and facilities will include the company name and address as well as a 24-hour toll-free
emergency phone number.
T e proposed pipeline and associated facilities will occupy approximately 50 acres overall.
According to wildlife distribution maps from the Colorado Department of Wildlife, a portion of
the pipeline is located within summer rangeland for mule deer and elk and is within migration
corridors for these animals. The characteristics of the proposed buried pipeline will not block
wildlife migration routes.
IV. IN SUMMARY
17
The project and all associated measures for impact mitigation appear to meet the review
standards in Section 5.03, 5.0307, and 5.03.08. Further, the project appears to be beneficial to the
County; in that, it will significantly reduce the numbers of large heavy water hauling trucks that
constantly travel the County road system. This will reduce the long term physical impact to the
roads thereby reducing the cost of the County to maintain these roads. Ancillary impacts to
reducing large truck volumes also include increased traffic safety and lessened impacts to air
quality as a result of reduced diesel emissions and PM -10 particulate generation.
This is echoed by Resource Engineering's review which stated "the general requirements for any
special use include providing adequate water and wastewater service and adequate road
improvements and/or access for the proposed use. The proposed special use does not require
potable water or wastewater services and would reduce hauling of water by truck traffic after
construction is completed. The temporary construction traffic does not appear to require any road
improvements."
Additional Permits
The County recently changed its requirements so that the various local, state, and federal
permitting processes can occur at the same time rather than requiring that they all be delivered to
the County "in -hand" as part of our review for our Special Use Permit. As a result, note that the
following additional permits are presently "in -process" and would need to be obtained and
submitted to this office prior to any issuance of a County Special Use Permit:
1) Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: "Storm Water Management
Plan"
2) Bureau of Land Management: Form 299: "Application for Transportation and Utility
Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands."
3) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: "Nationwide Permit 12 Section 404"
4) City of Rifle: "Site Plan Application" for pump building
5) City of Rifle: "Watershed District Permit"
6) Garfield County Road and Bridge Department: "Road Crossing Permit"
7) Surface Use Agreements: "Agreements providing permission to cross private property"
V. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the Board of
County Commissioners.
2. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and complete,
that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties
were heard at that meeting.
18
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed special use pennit is in the best
interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the
citizens of Garfield County.
4. That the application is in conformance with Section 5.03, 5.0307, and 5.03.08 of the
Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended.
VI. RECOMMENDATION

Subject: Re: Encana on Bockhorn Drive
As we discussed, the City is also working with Encana. They have a site plan application
pending for pump station.
From a land user perspective, our only concern is with who uses the water. The City has
no objection to Encana piping water for its needs, because of the obvious benefit of
removing water trucks from the road network. I would recommend the County include
language that restricts the use of the pipeline to Encana for gas extraction. The
condition might read:
"The subject pipeline shall be used to deliver water solely for the applicants use in the
extraction of gas. Any secondary taps to the water line by third parties or secondary use
by the applicant shall require an amendment to this special use permit and proof that said
third parties possess rights to water being distributed through the pipeline."

Fred,

EXHIBIT
--Ii___
I have reviewed EnCana's application for a Special Use Permit for their proposed river water pipeline and have
the following comments:
• Due to the size of the disturbance associated with this project (i.e., greater than 5 acres), it is my
understanding that this project will also be subject to the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment's (CDPHE's) stormwater permitting requirements. I would recommend that the applicant
either provide a copy of the stormwater permit for this project or provide justification for why no permit is
required. If such a permit is required, then it will need to be identified in the list of required permits
provided in several locations in the application.
• I would also recommend that applicant ensure that they have complied with all of CDPHEs permitting
requirements related to discharge of hydro -testing water, If a permit is required, then it will need to be
identified in the list of required permits provided in several locations in the application.
• I recommend that the applicant be required to provide documentation that they have the rights to the
water to be pumped through this pipeline from the Last Chance Ditch.
• For consistency with SUP applications I have reviewed for other pipeline projects, 1 would recommend
that the applicant also be required to identify the source of the water that will be used for hydro -testing
and demonstrate that they have the required rights to such water.
Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions.

Fred:
Here is a follow up to our conversation regarding Encana's permits. The water pipeline and all construction
must stay outside the County ROW. The road crossing permit for the water pipeline will be issued as to the
latest drawing when the SUP is final. The road crossing is located in a place that is acceptable to our
department.
