detailed responses to the Submittal Requirements and applicable sections of Afticle 7,
Divisions 1 , 2, and 3, including Section 7-1001 lndustrial Use Standards and Section 7-
705 Temporary Lmptoyee frousing Facilities, . Major Standards' The Application
materials include an'lmpact Anatysii and related consultant reports, technical studies,
and plans.
7-103: Zone District Reoulations
The proposed use demonstrates general conformance with applicable Zone District
provisions contained in the Land Usi and Development Code and in particular Article lll
standards for the Resource Lands - Plateau zone district.
7-102: ComPrehensive Plan
The Comprehensive plan 2030 designates the site as Resource Production / Natural.
Excerpts irom the Land Use Description Section Chapter 2, Future Land Use, Section 8,
Natural Resources and Section 9, Mineral Extraction are provided below.
Chapter 2 - Land Use Designations
Agriculture and grazing tand used primarily for oil, gas, oil shale, coal mining,
giavet mining, iicluding support buitdings and facitities needed for the natural
resource extraction industry, and other-business uses that can be adequately
buffered from adjacent inco'mpatible uses. Also includes areas with significant
environmental constraints such as upper plateaus, talus slopes, and .stelP
slopes (over 20%). Private inholding mostty surrounded by public lands with
limited Public access.
Section 8 - Natural Resburces
/ssues *The county maintains high air quality standards, however there
may be , p?op"ntity for air pottutants to exist in the western part of
the countY
10
Goals 1. Ensure that natural, scenic, ecological, and critical wildlife
habitat resorJrces are protected and /or impacts mitigated.
4. Ensure the appropriate reclamation of land after extraction
processes.
Policies1. The County witlencourage and cooperate with the protection
of criticat habitat inctuding state and federally protected, threatened,
or endangered sPecies.
Section 9 - Mineral Extraction
Goals 2. Ensure that mineral extraction activities mitigate their effects on the
natural environment, including air quality, water quality, wildlife habitat or
i mportant visual resou rces.
g. ln working with mineral extraction projects, the county will protect
the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
Policies
1. Garfietd County recognizes that surface and mineralowners have
cerlain tegat rights and privileges, including the right to extract and
develop these interests. Private property owners also have certain
legat rights and priviteges, including the right to have the mineral
estate devetoped in a reasonable manner and to have adverse
impacts mitigated. The property rights of minerallessees must be
balanced with the rights of private propefty owners and the general
public.
2. Mineral resource extraction activities will protect critical wildlife
habitat as identified by state and federal agencies. Development
within these designations that cannot be designed, constructed and
conducted so as to have a minimum adverse impact upon such
habitat or these wildlife species shall be discouraged.
S. Natural drainage patterns will be preserued or mitigated so the
cumulative impact of mineral extraction activities will not cause
storm drainage/floodwater patterns to exceed the capacity of natural
or constructed drainage ways, or to subject other areas to increased
flooding, erosion or sedimentation or result in pollution of streams,
rivers or other natural bodies of water.
4. Facilities that are appurlenances to oil/ gas development activities
(compressors, etc.) are considered appropriate in all land uses so
long as they meet the respective mitigation requirements of the
LUDC to maintain compatibility with surrounding land uses.
t1
The location and design of the proposed facility is in general conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan Policies subject to proper mitigation of impacts.
7-103: Compatibility
The Application has also provided information indicating the character of the area and
adjacent land uses. The request demonstrates general compatibility with adjoining uses
thit are primarily oil and gas exploration/production and cattle grazing. According to the
Garfield County Oil and Gas Liaison (Exhibit 14), "surrounding private lands are largely
owned and operated by oiland gas companies. The nearest residence, on the EV Ranch,
is more than a mile from the proposed facility and unlikely to be notably impacted by
noise from the site if operated as proposed."
7-104: Source of Water
The Temporary Employee Housing Facility is to be accommodated with stored potable
water. The proposed 10,000 gallon water storage tank will provide approximately 5.55
days of supply. ln addition, the Applicant has represented that the operator will comply
with the LUDC requirements outlined in Section 7-705(8). The Applicant has represented
the following in regards to the water system.
A 1O,0OO gatlon potabte water skid will be utilized for potable water. Please
see Tab g- Site Plan for drawings of the potable water skid. The 10,000
gatlon suppty is adequate for a 24 person facility utilizing 75 gal/day/person
(gpd/person) for total estimated usage of 1,800 gallons per day.
D&P Water (Operator's License #8440) will be providing the potable water
for the facitity. The source of the water is the Town of Meeker water plant.
(PWS|D# CO-0252400).
The Application was referred to the DeBeque Fire Protection District who indicated that
all issues had been addressed by the Applicant. The proposed water storage has also
been reviewed by the Garfield County Engineer who provided the following comments
(See Exhibit 12).
The water system provides water for potable use as well as for fire
sprinklers. The water storage system does not seem to separate water for
each use. The Appticant should address how the water storage will preserue
fire sprinkler storage from domestic storage.
The Applicant provided a response to the comments submitted by the Garfield County
Engineer in Exhibit 17.|n this email, Phil Vaughan provided the following explanation of
the fire protection system.
The 10,000 gallon potable water storage unit is utilized only for potable
water for the Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility.
12
The 1,600 galton water storage system forfire suppres_si9n is located on the
East side of unit 5 in the Mechanical Room. The ATCO Structures drawings
are located in Tab 9- Site Plan. I have attached drawings AA01 and AA02
that notes Equipment List number 642 as the 1,600 gallon water tank' This
1,600 gallon water storage system for fire suppression is not connected to
the 10,000 gat6n potabt6 waier storage unit, n9r is it connected to any other
fixturets wniin the facility with the exception of the fire sprinklers.
The 1,600 gallon fire water storage tank is filted from the exterior of the
buitding via use of a 2-1/2" coupling'
7-105: Waste Water Svstems
The Applicant has provided an engineered onsite. wastewater Treatment system
towrsj design for ti-re facility. ln acJordance with LUDC for facilities which are to be
onsite for greater than a cumulative of 1 year, the Applicant is proposing to install an
OWTS to handle wastewater from the facility. ln addition, the Appticant has requested a
waiver from the requirement to install an OWTS for up to 9 months after issuance of the
Land Use Change permit to accommodate potentiaily inclement weather which could
[revent installation of the OWTS along with installation of the Temporary Employee
itousing facility. The Applicant has stated that they will comply with all standards as
outlined in the LUDC.
The Applicant has represented the fotlowing regarding waste water
disposal.
Please find attached the Alt Seruice Septic engineered design- a4"^!
November 12, 2014 for the On-site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS).
ln the event that WPX Energy is unable to construct the OWTS in
January/February 2015 prior to the opening of the Employee Housing
Facility, wPx Energy requests a waiver of standard 7-705(c)(2)(e) "The
facitity wilt not excee-d a cumulative of 1 year at the approved location, and"
As noted in Tab 2- Proiect Overuiew, we are requesting tha.t the WPX
Energy Trait Ridge Empioyee Housing Facility not have an expiration date.
Vautt and haul of sewage would be-conducted at the site utilizing the 3-
1,500 galton sewage taiks for a total of 4,500 gallons of sewage storage.
Detays of installation of the OWTS would be directly related to inclement
weather that may delay construction.
WpX Energy agrees to complete construction of the OWTS within I months
after receipi of-the Gartietd county Land use Permit.
L3
Staff suggests a condition of approval that the Applicant install the OWTS within 9
months i-ollowing issuance of the Land Use Change Permit of the Temporary Employee
Housing and Storage facilitY.
7-106: Public Utilities
Electric power will be provided by diesel powered generators, water will be hauled to the
site and wastewater will be processed onsite using an OWTS for the proposed facilities.
Due to the remote nature of tne facilities, connection to public utilities is not feasible.
7-107: Access & Roadways
Access to the property is from Rio Blanco County Road 5, BLM Road 1009A and BLM
Road 100g in aOdition to approximately % mile of private access road. Please see the

The Applicant submitted a Basic Traffic Analysis that indicates that the site will have a
traffic demand of one round-trip (2 ADT) per day. The Traffic lmpact Analysis conducted
by Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig daied November 2014 makes the following conclusions'
The results of the LOS anatyses show that traffic operations at the
intersection of RBCR 5 and BLM 1009A witt not be negatively impacted by
the devetopment of the WPX Energy Trait Ridge Employee Housing Facility.
This intersection will operate at an LOS A during all peak hours for existing
and total traffic scena'rios with the existing lane configuration. No auxiliary
lanes are necessary to maintain acceptable LOS or to meet auxiliary lane
requirements.
. An estimated 24 workers wilt reside within the facility. Workers will be
shuttled to the site, live, and work for extended periods of time. These traffic
impacts are negligible.
. lt is estimated, conseruatively, that there will be up to 34 round trips per
month to the site after completion (approximately 1 trip per day). See the
Traffic Worksheet in Appendix C for more information'
o This amount of traffic is negligible and will not have significant impact on
surrounding roadwaYs.
This application was referred to both the BLM and Rio Blanco County for comment, but
no comments were received.
Review of the traffic study, however, state that "Felsburg Holt & Ullevig has prepared a
basic traffic impact analysis for the proposed Employee Housing Facility... the facility will
house an estimaled 24 employees." As a result, it does not appear that the traffic study
considered the impacts of the storage facility.
On May 28,2015 Phil Vaughan submitted a letter (See Exhibit 20) from Felsburg Holt
and Ulllvig stating the following regarding the traffic impacts from the storage facility.
Additional traffic trips on Rio Blanco County Road 5 are not anticipated to
be generated by ihi" ute or on BLM Roads 1009 and 10094. The only
roadway that wiit be affected is the % mile private access road. WPX Energy
has indicated that during many weeks and months during the year, this
storage area will have no trips. ln order to account for this type of use, a 1
trip p-er day increase in traffic for the storage use has been accounted for.
As a result of this analysis, it is Staff's opinion that the traffic impacts from the proposed
storage facility are negiigible and that the proposed improvements to the access roadway
are appropriate.
18
7-108: Natural Hazards
The Application provides significant information on natural hazards including information
on soils, geology, and slopes associated with the site. The information supports a
determination that the proposed use is not subject to significant natural hazard risks' The
reports include results from radiation tests which indicate that radiation levels are very
low and "indicative of normal background radiation'"
A study was also conducted on potential contamination of water aquifer by water
Resource Consultants, LLC. The study concludes that "The potential for aquifer
contamination from the proposed employee facility is virtually non-existent'"
7-109: Fire Protection
The Application includes the Emergency Respglt". Plan for the site. The Application
was referred to the DeBeque Fire-protection District which indicated that all of their
concerns have been addressed.
See SectionT-104, Source of Water, above'
7-201 : Aqricultural Lands
Minimal if any impact on agricultural land is anticipated. The property has been utilized
for grazing and oil and gas development. There are no irrigation ditches located within
the perimeter of the site'
The facility will not be fenced with exception to the OWTS absorption field and the septic
tanks. ln addition, per wPX policy, domestic animals will not be permitted on the site'
7-202: Wildlife Habitat Areas
The Applicant has provided a wildlife habitat study completed byWestWater Engineering
(dated October iO\+1. The study looks at impacts to the greater sage-grouse, riparian
and aquatic species, raptors, American elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lion' birds'
small mammals and reptiles. The study notes that should the facility be maintained
without animal attractions or harassment, irpr.t to the animals in the area should be
minimal. The study also recommends adherence to the submitted lntegrated Vegetation
and Noxious Weei M"nrg"*ent Plan in order to help reduce impacts to wildlife'
The study notes that the subject site is not prime nesting or brooding habitat for the
greater sage-grouse. However, the cPW comments (see Exhibit 10) note that the site
is located within a greater sage-grouse production habitat. A fufther look into Gadield
County,s Greater big" Crorr6 C-onservation Plan shows that the impact area is in fact
outside the sage grouse suitable habitat arca'
19
No other threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate or other sensitive species were
noted to occur in t-fre project"arer. i{o*.r"r, cheatgrass, a noxious weed was found on
the site. The application was revieweJ by the OarfiltO,County Vegetation Manager who
indicated that the weed management plan is acceptable.
7-203: Protection of Water Bodies
The site location is not in close proximity of an active water body' The nearest water
feature is located over r ,000 feet f rom the subject area. Due to this distance, impacts to
water bodies are not anticiPated.
The Applicant has included a stormwater Management Plan, Stormwater Discharge
permit and Spill prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) as a part of the
ffieater Sage Grous eled Suitable Habitat
20
Grading and Drainage Plan. These plans have been reviewed by referral agencies and
appear to meet the requirements in the LUDC.
7-205 Environmental Qualitv
The application includes an SPCC which has been reviewed by the referral agencies
and appears to meet the requirements of the LUDC.
Permits are required for the diesel generators. The Applicant provided evidence that the
permits have been submitted. Except for the generators, the only other air emissions are
expected from those typical of motor vehicles accessing the site.
7-206: Wildfire Hazards
The DeBeque Fire Protection District reviewed the application and had no additional
comments. The facility is not located within a "very high" wildland fire susceptibility
designation according to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. ln addition, no
buildings will be constructed onsite with shake roofs.
7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards
See Section 7-108, above.
7-208: Reclamation
The Applicant has included a reclamation plan that addresses re-vegetation and
reclamation. However, it appears that the revegetation and reclamation calculation is
only for the newly disturbed areas of the site.
The LUDC states that reclamation security is required if the disturbed area outside that
of the long-term functioning area of the site - in this case the storage and roadway
improvements - is one acre or greater. The Applicant submitted a drawing from Sopris
Engineering on May 28, 2015 (See Exhibit 20) indicating that the area outside the
storage and roadway functions is 0.68 acres. Due to the small size of the impacted area,
Staff does not recommend revegetation security.
The form and content of the reclamation and revegetation plan has been reviewed by
the Garfield County Vegetation Manager and has been found to be adequate.
7-301 : Compatible Design
See Section 7-103, above.
21
7-302: Parkinq, and Loading
Large areas of the site plan are available for parking, circulation, and loading activities'
The Site plan specificaliy identifies the area between the proposed housing and storage
facility for parking. The warehouse facility requires 3.75 spaces (1 space per 2,0o0 sq ft
for ,,Warehorr""f and the Temporary Employee Housing Facility requires 14 (1 space
p", ,oon1 for "Lodling") for a total of ll.lS spaces required' 29 parking spaces have
been identified on the site Plan.
,-303' LandscaPinq
As an industrial use, landscaping submittals and standards are not applicable to the
Storage portion of the ProPosal.
As Temporary Employee Housing is considered "Residential", Landscaping is applicable
to this portion of tne proposal. Th? Applicant has requested a waiver from this standard'
Due to the remoteness of the site and othenruise industrial nature of the facility, staff
agrees that this request is appropriate.
7-304: Liohtinq
Lighting shall be limited to down directed, shielded and internally oriented fixtures in
aciordince with the County's lighting standards'
7-305 Snow Storaqe
Adequate portions of the site plan including areas adjacent to the proposed storage area
are available for snow storage'
7-306 Trails
As an industrial use, trails submittals and standards are not applicable to Storage portion
of the proposal.
As Temporary Employee Housing is considered "Residential", trails standards are
afplicanie to t-his portion of the proiosal. The Applicant has requested a waiver from this
standard. Due to the remoteness of the site and othenruise industrial nature of the facility,
staff agrees that this request is appropriate'
22
The Applicant represents that the facitity will comply w.ith altthe lndustrial Use Standards
contained in Section 1001. The following summary addresses the applicable provisions'
A. Residential Subdivisions
The facility is located on a large tract of property in a remote area of Garfield County and
is not within a platted subdivision.
B. Setbacks
The proposed facility is over 100 feet f rom the property lines and will meet the applicable

RE: $/PX Energy, Trail Ridge Emptoyee Housing Facitity
Dear Phil,
I have summarized the discussion from the meeting we had tast Wednesday. I am pleased
that we had the opportunity to taLk about the WPX Housing Facitity Project with you and WPX
representative Ashtee Fechinco prior to the County Commissioner Meeting and any work being
started. My summary foltows.
On Wednesday, November 5, 2014, CPW staff met with Phit Vaughan of Phit Vaughan
Construction Management lnc., and Ashtee Fechinco of WPX to discuss the proposed Trait
Ridge EmpLoyee Housing Facitity project. The proposed project is tocated in Section 3, T5S,
Rg7 W, 6th pM., Garfield County, Cotorado. CPW reviewed the project to provide witdtife
impact advice and recommendations so that Mr. Vaughan and Ms. Fechinco could incorporate
discussion items and recommendations into the ptanning and construction of the project.
CpW staff atso reviewed the fottowing documents prepared by WestWater Engineering:. lmpact
Anolysis: Section 4-203-G (6); tntegroted Vegetation ond Noxious Weed Monagement Plan;
and Section 7-202Wildlife Habitat Areas.
r The proposed site tocation is within an area of existing disturbance; roads, pipelines,
compressor stations, wett pads and other facitities. A retativety extensive road
network already exists.
r The project was described as a housing facitity and tay'down yard. The housing
facitity witt consist of 6 modutar units (buitt on skids) with each unit housing up to four
emptoyees. lt is anticipated that there woutd be 21 oit fietd workers and four camp
support staff for a totat of 25 peopte living at the site at one time. On site residence
work schedute woutd consist of three weeks on and three weeks off. Support
infrastructure for the site woutd inctude generators, water storage containers,
freezers, etc. Generators witl meet standards for noise reduction. Water/waste
water disposal woutd be taken care of with a septic and leach fietd set up fenced to
keep out vehictes, [ivestock, and witdtife.

' Site [ocation is within an area of existing disturbance; roads, pipetines, compressor
stations, welt pads and other facitities. A retativety extensive road network atready
exists.
' White the site is within greater sage-grouse production habitat the [ocation is at anexisting disturbed site where vegetation was removed prior to this project beingproposed. A smatl amount (0.6 acres) of new disturbance is being proposed.
Construction of the site is being proposed for the winter of 2015, thus avoiding grouse
tekking and breeding season for the peak traffic and human activity period that it
woutd take to buitd the project.
' The site and facitities wilt use bear proof containers to reduce human-bear interaction
and potentiaI conftict.
o WPX witl enforce their company poticy that prohibits emptoyees and contractors from
carrying firearms in vehicles. pets w.itt atso be prohibited on the site.
' Daily emptoyee commuting traffic witt be reduced on West Fork Gutch Road and other
access roads as a resutt of this facitity.
CPW betieves that this project is incorporating numerous witdtife best management practicesthat, cumutativety, witt hetp to reduce impacts to witdtife in the immediate project area aswetl as in the transportation corridors [eading to this housing facitity. Shoutd any malor
changes in the planning or designs of the project occur, cpw woutd appreciate theopportunity to tatk with you again.
Thank you for working proactivety with cPw to protect witdtife and witdtife habitats in
Cotorado.

RE: Review of Trail Ridge Employee Housing: LIPA-8191
Dear David:
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Limited Impact Review
application of the Trail Ridge Major Employee Housing Facility. The submittal was found to be
thorough and well organized. The review generated the following comment:
o The water system provides water for potable use as well as for fire sprinklers. The Water
storage system does not seem to separate water for each use. The Applicant should
address how the water storage will preserve fire sprinkler storage from domestic storage.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.

RE: LIPA-8191, WPX- Trail Ridge Major Temporary Employee Housing and Storage Facility
Dear David,
Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comments on this application.
The proposed facility is a long term 24-person housing and storage facility. Proposed facility
includes on-site wastewater treatment and also a laydown yard with a 60'wide x 125' long
building for storage of equipment.
My office is likely the most common receiver of citizen questions, concerns and complaints
related to possible oil and gas activity impacts to Garfield County citizens. lt is with this in mind
that I have reviewed the application. The proposed land use change will occur in northern
Garfield County within the resource lands zone district that currently hosts significant existing oil
and gas infrastructure.
Surrounding private lands are largely owned and operated by oil and gas companies. The
nearest residence, on the EV Ranch, is more than a mile from the proposed facility and unlikely
to be notably impacted by noise from the site if operated as proposed ("Analysis of Noise from
the Proposed WPX Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility", Oct 2014, prepared by Hankard
Environmental). As such, the site is relatively remote and daily operations are unlikely to impact
surrounding neighbors, aside regular site access via public and private roads by WPX staff and
contractors. According to the submitted traffic study primary access routes originate in Rio
Blanco County and predicted impacts on traffic volumes within Garfield County are negligible.
The application as presented seems appropriately located distant from neighboring homes and
other potentially nonconforming uses that could othenryise yield nuisance issues for neighboring
property owners. I have no addi ents or concerns related to this existing facility,

Hello Dave,
My comments for the WPX Trail Ridge Employee Housing facility Limited lmpact Review are as
follows:
- Wastewater Treatmenf: The applicant is proposing to have up lo 24 residents at the
facility at one time, which at a rate of 75 gallons per person per day keeps it below the
2,000 gallon limit for a septic system. Since this is so close to the threshold, Public
Health recommends monitoring the use rate of water to be sure it does not exceed that
limit. lf this does occur, please contact the Water Quality Control Division of the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Alternatively, a second system
could be installed.- Nursance conditions: The applicant has addressed the potential impacts on adjacent
land from generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration, or other
emanations. Attempts should be made to minimize emissions from diesel generators
operating the building, and perhaps a natural gas powered generator that produces
fewer emissions could be considered. lf changes occur in regards to the generator
please notify the CDPHE.- lf these trailers do have a connection with the soil via a foundation of some sort, we
recommend testing the facility for radon - particularly as it is not considered a
"temporary" housing facility.- WPX should keep Garfield County informed on their use of the facility given the cutbacks
in natural gas production in Garfield County.
Thank you,

RE: LIPA-8191 WPX Temporary Housing
Dear Dave,
The lntegrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management plan and proposed seed mixes for this project is acceptable.
Staff requests that the.applicant quantify the area, in terms of acres or square feet, of surface disturbance impacted by the
Temporary Employee Housing component of the project. This quantification willassist staff in determining if a
revegetation security shall be recommended.
The road improvements and storage facility shall not be part of this calculation.
lf a revegetation security is necessary, the security shall be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully
reestablished according to the Reclamation Standards section in the Garfield County Weed Management plan. Th;
Reclamation Standards at the date of permit issuance are cited in Sections 4.06, 4.07 and 4.08 of the Garfield County
Weed Management Plan (Resolution #2002-94).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,%

,,The water system provides water for potable use as well as for fire sprinklers. The water storage system does not seem

PVCMlreply:
The 10,000 gallon potable water storage unit is utilized only for potable water for the Trail Ridge Employee Housing
Facility.
The 1,600 gallon water storage system for fire suppression is located on the East side of Unit 5 in the Mechanical
Room. The ATCO Structures drawings are located in Tab 9- Site Plan. I have attached drawings AA01 and AA02 that
notes Equipment List number 642 asthe 1,600 gallon water tank. This 1,600 gallon water storage system for fire
suppression is not connected to the 10,000 gallon potable water storage unit, nor is it connected to any other fixtures
within the facility with the exception of the fire sprinklers.
The 1,600 gallon fire water storage tank is filled from the exterior of the building via use of a 2-1'f2" coupling'

Morgan and Dave,
I hope that you are doing well today.
Thank you for your review comments incorporated in the attached 5l4lt5letter.
Please find my replies below:
Morgan HillComment:
Wasiewater Treatmenf: The applicant is proposing to have up to 24 residents at the facility at one time,
which at a rate of 75 gallons per person per day keeps it below the 2,000 gallon limit for a septic
system. Since this is so close to the threshold, Public Health recommends monitoring the use rate of
water to be sure it does not exceed that limit. lf this does occur, please contact the Water Quality
Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Alternatively, a second
system could be installed.
PVCMlReply:
WPX Energy will monitor the use rate of water. lf the system exceeds 2,000 gallons per day, WPX Energy will
contact the WQCD of the CDPHE. WPX Energy's extensive historical experience with the same size camps
indicates that we will not exceed the 2,000 gallons per day water usage.
Morgan HillComment:
Nuisance conditions: The applicant has addressed the potential impacts on adjacent land from
generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration, or other emanations. Attempts should be
made to minimize emissions from diesel generators operating the building, and perhaps a natural gas
powered generator that produces fewer emissions could be considered. lf changes occur in regards to
the generator please notify the CDPHE.
PVCM|Reply:
Thank you for the recommendation regarding a natural gas powered generator. As noted in Tab 38- Regulatory
permit Requirements, we have applied for and received an air permit from the CDPHE for the diesel generator
skid and will plan to use this unit on site.
Morgan HillComment:
lf these trailers do have a connection with the soil via a foundation of some sort, we recommend testing
the facility for radon - particularly as it is not considered a "temporary" housing facility.
PVCM!Reply:
The foundation system for the Employee Housing Facility consists of a "tie-down" system to ground
anchors. Thus there will not be a foundation/basement that can accumulate radon. Please find attached the
CDOH approved typical Foundation Plan incorporated into the application in Tab 9- Site Plan noting the
foundation system.
Additionally, please find attached the CTL/Thompson LOl24lL4 Geologic Hazard Evaluation and Geotechnical
tnvestigation that is included in the land use change application Tab 12- lmpact Analysis.
t3
Please see the bottom of page 2 and top of page 3 regarding the on-site radiation survey. "We observed
radiation measurements overoging opproximately 7 microroentgen per hour. Some oreos had reodings os low os
0 microroentgens per hour and os high os 2 microroentgens per hour. ln our opinion, these reodings on the site
ore very low, indicotive of normol bockground rodiotion for this oreo of Garfield County."
Taking into account the low radiation measurements and that there is no "basement" type structure on this site
that would allow potential radon gas to enter a living space, we will not plan to test for radon.
Morgan HillComment:- WPX should keep Garfield County informed on their use of the facility given the cutbacks in natural gas
production in Garfield County.
PVCMIReply:
WPX Energy will agree to notify Garfield County if the employee housing facility is removed from the site.
Please contact me with further questions.
Sincerely,

Dave and Chris,
I hope that you are doing well today.
Thank you for your review comment in the attach ed S/a/15letter.
Chris Hale, P.E. comment:
"The water system provides water for potable use as well as for fire sprinklers. The Water storage system does not seem
to separate water for each use. The Applicant should address how the water storage will preserve fire sprinkler storage
from domestic storage."
PVCMlreply:
The 10,000 gallon potable water storage unit is utilized only for potable water for the Trail Ridge Employee Housing
Facility.
The 1,600 gallon water storage system for fire suppression is located on the East side of Unit 5 in the Mechanical
Room. The ATCO Structures drawings are located in Tab 9- Site Plan. I have attached drawings AAoi. and AAO2 that
notes Equipment List number 642 as the 1,600 gallon water tank. This 1,600 gallon water storage system for fire
suppression is not connected to the 10,000 gallon potable water storage unit, nor is it connected to any other fixtures
within the facility with the exception of the fire sprinklers.
The 1,600 gallon fire water storage tank is filled from the exterior of the building via use of a 2-1.f2" coupling.
Please contact me with further questions.
Sincerely,
Phil Vaughan

Dave,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft staff report.
please find below and attached replies and clarifications for your information and use'
A. page 1g- Traffic study- "As a result, it does not appear that the traffic study considered the impacts of the storage
facility. To this end, staff suggests a condition of approval that the Applicant provide an updated traffic impact analysis
that considers both the storage and the employee housing components."
pvcMt response: please find attache d a 5lzT lL5letter from Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig clarifying this issue.
B. page 21- .,permits are required for the diesel generators. The Applicant provided evidence that the permits have
been submitted."
pvcMl response: ptease see Tab 38. An air permit (GP-06) for the Generator Skid was issued by the CDPHE on tUt7ll'4'
The permit is attached in Tab 12.
C. Page 21- Section 7-2O8- Reclamation'
pvcMl response: Thank you for your emails clarifying this issue. Please find attached an exhibit noting the area
occupied by the Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility and the OWTS. This acreage is 0.64 acres (28,000 sq' ft') as
calculated by Sopris Engineering this morning. lt is my understanding that a revegetation bond is not required as this
area is less than L acre in size.
Thank you for your assistance and please contact me with questions.

RE: WPX Energy - Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility
Clarification of Traffic Impact Study
FHU Project No. 114-360-01
Dear Mr. Vaughan:
Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU) has reviewed the draft staff report received from Garfield County
staff concerning our traffic study entitled WPX Energy Trail Ridge Employee housing Facility,
Garfield County, Colorado -Traffic lmpact Analysis, November 2014. Based on our discussions
with you, this letter clarifies the traffic produced by the proposed storage area noted as "Laydown
yard and 60' wide x 125' long building for storage of drilling equipment, hydraulic fracturing
equipment, pipe, excavation equipment, maintenance tools and snow-moving equipment." Drilling
equipment, hydraulic fracturing equipment, pipe, excavation equipment, maintenance tools and
snow-moving equipment are all currently being utilized in the area, irrespective of the construction
of this storage facility.
Additional traffic trips on Rio Blanco County Road 5 are not anticipated to be generated by this use
or on BLM Roads 1009 and 10094. The only roadway that will be affected is the Ta mile private
access road. WPX Energy has indicated that during many weeks and months during the year, this
storage area will have no trips. ln order to account for this type of use, a 1 trip per day increase in
traffic for the storage use has been accounted for.

Dave,
Last year Garfield County amended the LUC to increase the size of surface area disturbance in which a revegetation
security would be required for land use change permits from L/2 acre to 1 acre. lf my memory is correct on the process,
this change was initially suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission with later concurrence from the Weed
Advisory Board.
Section 7-7O5 (J-61addresses the provision of a revegetation security for Temporary Employee Housing. This section
does not specifically reflect the aforementioned change from Ll2 acre to 1 acre for the revegetation security that is in
other sections ofthe Code.
To be consistent with the amendment in the remainder of Code regarding this change, I recommend that we do not
require a revegetation security for this permit application as it falls below the 1 acre threshold.

Dear Dave,
Thank you for your email of 5/29115 with the final staff report for the Trail Ridge Employee
Housing Facility hearing to be held on618115.
Please find below our reply to Condition #8 located on page 29 of the staff report.
Page 29- Condition #8- "Within 9 months of the issuance of the Land Use Change permit, the
Applicant shall install an Onsite Wastewater Treatrnent System (OWTS) to serve the proposed
facility. The installation of the System shall be in accordance with the design and specifications
as outlined in the Application."
The above condition #8 reflects the request of our Land Use Change permit application
submitted in January 2015. During preparation of the application in Fa[ 2014, we aniicipated
construction of the facility to occur in the I't quarter of 2015.
We respectfully request that the Board of County Commissioners revise Condition #8 to reflect
the following proposed language:
"Within 9 months of the issuance of the Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility Certificate ofoccupancy@i{,theApplicantshallinstallanonsiteWastewaterTreatment
System (OWTS) to serve the proposed facility. The installation of the System shall be in
accordance with the design and specifications as outlined in the Application.,,
The revised Condition #8 will require construction of the OWTS to occur within 9 months after
issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy of the Trail Ridge Employee Housing Facility.
This proposed revision to Condition #8 will continue to protect Garfield County and will
acknowledge that construction of the Trail Ridge Employie Housing Facility may not be
completed within 9 months after issuance of the Land UsJchange permit.
