The proposed temporary housing quarters would be equipped wit h smoke and heat
detecting fire alarms to alert the occupants of a fire. All occupants would be i nformed as
to escape routes and fire extinguisher locations. All the mobile home units would be
equipped with fire extinguishers capable of fighting A, B, and C-type fires. Fire
extinguishers would be mounted on the walls or in easily visible locations. Since the
proposed temporary housing quarters would be placed on COGCC-permitted well pad
that is clear of vegetation, the risk of wildfires would be minimal. Smoking would only be
permitted in designated areas adjacent to the housing quarters. Open fires would not be
permitted. Only gas grills would be used outdoors.
All trailers, potable water systems and wastewater systems will be located within the
confines of the well pad as approved by the COGCC.

The 604-12-13 Annex pad is an existing pad with existing access roads; there will be no additional surface disturbance.
Conductors have been set and flowlines have been installed. Laramie Energy is proposing to drill 13 wells: 8 fee/fee and
5 fee/Federal.
This pad has an approved CUP (Conditional Use Permit) from Garfield County for use as a storage site.
"Drilling Waste Management" drilling mud and drill cuttings disposal descriptions:
Laramie plans to drill the wells within this project boundary with a dewatering system with no need for a reserve pit.
Drilling fluids are recycled and re-used with cuttings being de-watered and captured in a catch pan, stacked in a cuttings
management area and allowed to dry. Once the cuttings are dry and satisfy the COGCC for Rule 910 analytics, the
cuttings will be stacked along the cut slope then buried and covered with a minimum of 3 feet of cover. This operation will
occur after the completion of all the wells.
"Plant Community" descriptions per NRCS soil type:
Map Unit Symbol 55: Letterman's needlegrass, Slender wheatgrass, Arizona fescue, Columbia needlegrass, Mountain

Greater Sage Grouse:
Excerpt from Biological Survey Report conducted September, 2017, by WestWater Engineering for the BLM:
“The project area is entirely within Preliminary Priority Habitat, as mapped by CPW (CPW 2017) (Figure
3), which is considered valuable sage-grouse habitat. The majority of the surveyed area surrounding the
well pad was not suitable habitat for sage-grouse. Patches of suitable habitat may exist between stands of
aspen, mountain shrub, and existing disturbance in the project area, although the majority of the terrain
was relatively steep even where vegetation communities were more appropriate for sage-grouse. No
grouse or sign were observed.” Therefore, no BMP is attached to this permit.

The access road will be maintained as to not allow sediment to migrate from the access
road to nearby surface water or any drainages leading to surface water.
Strategically apply fugitive dust control measures to access roads to reduce fugitive
dust and coating of vegetation and deposition in water sources. Operator shall employ
practices for control of fugitive dust caused by other operations, including, but not
limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of re-
construction activity during high wind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand
used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Additional management practices such as road
surfacing, wind breaks and barriers may be used.
Berms or other containment devices shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious
(corrugated steel with poly liner or equivalent) to contain any spilled or released material
around permanent condensate storage tanks.
The nearby hillside must be monitored for any day-lighting of drilling fluids throughout
the drilling of the surface casing
interval.
The moisture content of drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable
to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. After drilling and
completion operations have been completed, the drill cuttings that will remain on the
well pad location (cuttings management area, the cut portion of the pad, cuttings trench,
dry cuttings drilling pit), must be sampled and meet the applicable standards of Table
910-1. After the drill cuttings have been amended (if necessary) and placed on the well
pad, sampling frequency of the drill cuttings (to be determined by the operator) shall be
representative of the material left on location.
Flowback and stimulation fluids must be sent to enclosed tanks, separators, or other
containment/filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline,
storage vessel, or other open top containment located on the well pad; or into tanker
trucks for offsite disposal. The flowback and stimulation fluid tanks, separators, or other
containment/filtering equipment must be placed on the well pad in an area constructed
to be sufficiently impervious to contain any spilled or released material. No additional
downgradient berming is required if operator constructs a sufficiently sized perimeter
berm.
Potential odors associated with the completions process and/or with long term
production operations must be controlled/mitigated.
Operator shall pressure test pipelines (flowlines from wellheads to separators to tanks;
and any temporary surface lines used for hydraulic stimulation and/or flowback
operations) in accordance with Rule 1101.e.(1) prior to putting into initial service any
temporary surface or permanent surface/buried pipelines and following any
reconfiguration of the pipeline network. All permanent flowlines from wellheads to
separators and from the separators to the tank will also be pressure tested annually.

Disposal Description: (Drilling Waste Management)
Laramie plans to drill the wells within this project boundary with a dewatering system with no need for a reserve pit.
Drilling fluids are recycled and re-used with cuttings being de-watered and captured in a catch pan, stacked in a cuttings
management area and allowed to dry. Once the cuttings are dry and satisfy the COGCC for Rule 910 analytics, the
cuttings will be stacked along the cut slope then buried and covered with a minimum of 3 feet of cover. This operation
will occur after the completion of all the wells.

One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole Resistivity Log
and Gamma Ray Log from TD into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a
cement bond log with gamma-ray run on production casing (or on intermediate casing
if production liner is run) into the surface casing. The Form 5, Completion Report, for
each well on the pad will list all logs run and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for
a well without open-hole logs will state "No open-hole logs were run" and will clearly
identify the type of log and the well (by API#) in which open-hole logs were run.

Engineer COGCC evaluated offset water wells within one mile of this proposed well's surface
hole location. This information was used in addition to locally-available geophysical
logs and hydrogeologic information to evaluate the adequacy of the operator's
proposed surface casing setting depth. The deepest water well within one mile is
430 feet.
Offset Well Evaluation: Existing offset oil and gas wells within 1,500 feet of the
wellbores on this pad meet standards. No mitigation required.

Subject: Cascade Creek Access Roads “Adequacy”, Garfield County Colorado
Mr. Waller,
As detailed in the Garfield County Minor Temporary Employee Housing application submittal for the 604-12-13
location, Laramie Energy (Laramie) intends to access the 604-12-13 drilling location via the Cascade Creek Road
System (CCRS). The CCRS is a primary access to many Laramie natural gas development assets in the
Piceance/Roan Plateau region.
In 2015, Laramie purchased all the Oxy USA WTP (Oxy) assets in the Piceance/Roan Plateau region. As part of
the acquisition Laramie inherited many technical and analytical data packages related to natural gas development
operations.
In January of 2015, to accommodate Garfield County (GARCO) Land Use Code Requirements, Oxy performed a
Roadway Standards Assessment and Adequacy Study for the CCRS. The entire assessment was vetted, signed
and sealed in a Memorandum (dated February 4, 2015) by Professional Engineer Donald J. Berger of Rock Solid
Solutions. Laramie is submitting this report to demonstrate the majority of the private sections of the road meets the
dimensional standards in Table 7-107 and to request a “waiver” of Section 7-107 for the limited areas which deviate
from the GARCO Road Standards.
As per the report, Laramie is confident that the Cascade Creek Road System can and will continue to provide
adequate access to the Laramie assets on the Roan Plateau.
Additionally, Laramie has a regular schedule for maintenance of the roadway(s), storm water oversight and safety
upgrades to accommodate our use of the roads for development activities in the region. Thus, the roadways
referenced in the assessment have been and continue to be properly maintained.
Attached please find the Adequacy Memorandum prepared by the Rock Solid Solutions Professional Engineer
(dated February 4, 2015) and the Roadway Standards Assessment prepared by Olsson Associates (dated January
2015).
If you or your staff has any questions regarding this application or if you require additional information, please
contact me at 970-812-5311.

1.0 CASCADE CREEK VALLEY ROAD
1.1 Scope
According to the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) Section 7-107 –
Access and Roadways, all roads are required to be designed to provide “adequate and safe
access” and reviewed by the designated County Engineer. The Cascade Creek Valley Road
Assessment documents summarize the engineering controls and construction specifications
associated with Oxy’s Cascade Creek Operating Area Valley Road which begins at the terminus
of County Road 213 and extends to Oxy’s switchback 1 along the Lower Valley Floor Zone. See
attached Figure 1 – Overview Map.
1.2 Valley Road
Oxy’s Valley Road is a private access road existing on Oxy property to serve Oil and Gas
Exploration and Production (E&P) activities. See attached Figure 2 – Valley Road. The Valley
Road begins at the terminus of County Road 213 in the NE ¼ of Section 8, Township 7 South,
Range 97 West of the 6th PM and terminates approximately 16,051 feet (3.04 miles) north at Oxy’s
switchback 1 located in the SW ¼ of Section 21, Township 6 South, Range 97 West of the 6th
PM. This roadway follows the Conn Creek drainage, gaining approximately 450 feet in elevation,
and ends at a point near the confluence with the Cascade Creek drainage. The Valley Road
services approximately 24 well pads and four (4) Facilities (two Compressor Stations, a Central
Water Handling Facility, and one Field Office) located in the Lower Valley Floor Zone of Oxy’s
Cascade Creek Operational Area. The Valley Road is used to access Oxy’s Mesa Operational
area as well. The Valley Road is typical of roads providing access to natural gas production
facilities, compressor stations, and Centralized E & P Facilities in Garfield County, Colorado.
1.3 Average Daily Traffic Numbers
Oxy collected traffic numbers accessing Oxy’s Cascade Creek field between July 2011 and June
2012. Oxy documented traffic numbers at the Lower Guard Shack, located at the terminus of
County Road 213, and at the Upper Guard Shack, located above Mountain Road switchback 6.
See Figure 1 for guard shack locations. Oxy’s traffic count found an average of 148 vehicles
travel the Valley Road each day.
1.4 Road Description and Comparison
Oxy collected average daily traffic numbers accessing their lower guard shack and Oxy property
between July 2011 and June 2012. The results of the exercise identified that Oxy had an average
of 148 vehicles accessing the Valley roads each day. Based on roadway numbers collected by
Oxy, the following table compares Oxy’s Valley Road to the Garfield County Roadway Standards
found in Table 7-107 of the LUDC for Rural Access Roads (Table 1 below):

Oxy’s Valley Road is located on private property and therefore is not located within a ROW and
does not provide access to the general public. One section of the road along the entire Valley
Road does not meet the Roadway Standards for lane width. This section has a width of 10.5’ per
lane. Aside from this short section of road, the rest of the Valley Road meets or exceeds the
required 11’ lane width.
Due to the terrain and proximity to Cascade Creek, shoulders are constructed between 0 and 6
feet wide along portions of the Valley Road. Ditches are constructed throughout the Valley Road
to convey water safely under the road through culverts and to dissipate as planned in Oxy’s
Stormwater Management Plan. Due to the terrain of the Valley Road, majority of the ditches
within the field do not comply with the required ditch width. All switchbacks along the Valley Road
accommodate a minimum turning radius of 80 feet as established by the roadway standards.
Oxy’s Valley Road has two roadway sections which do not meet the grade requirements of 12%
due to topography in the area.
1.5 Valley Road Best Management Practices
Oxy has implemented the following Best Management Practices (BMPs) to aid in providing
adequate and safe access where Oxy’s Valley Road does not meet Rural Access Roadway
standards.
Limit access from public and only allowing authorized personnel to utilize the road
Speed limit signs of 20 miles per hour or less. Speed limits are enforced by a private
contractor throughout Oxy’s Cascade Creek area.
Uphill traffic has the right of way. This aids in reducing the amount of congestion along the
roadway and allows for more efficient passage during inclement weather or busy times of the
day.
Oxy conducts 14 day stormwater inspections as well as post-precipitation inspections along
the entire Mountain Road. These inspections document Mountain Road and stormwater
feature condition and document road maintenance issues needed for repair on a regular
basis.
Oxy completes regular maintenance of the Valley Road to include grading, snow removal,
maintaining stormwater BMPs, and upgrading or improvements to the roadway identified
during operation.

During spring and winter, Oxy requires the use of chains on the Valley Road as a
precautionary BMP. Additionally, Oxy maintains a website to allow contractors to monitor
current site conditions and road alerts for requiring chains, or closed roads due to weather
conditions.
During dry periods and windy events, Oxy completes dust suppression using water and
chemical suppressant (i.e. magnesium chloride) spreading to ensure safe visibility is not
impaired during wind events. Details on dust controls are provided in Oxy’s Dust
Management Plan, located in the Standards Tab.
1.6 Valley Road Assessment Conclusion
Given the on-going construction and maintenance activities completed by DIA Construction, BMP
implementation and maintenance completed by DIA Construction and McIntyre Construction, and
vehicle traffic volumes, Oxy has provided safe and adequate access to Oxy’s employees and
contractors utilizing the Valley Road.

2.0 CASCADE CREEK MOUNTAIN ROAD
2.1 Scope
According to the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) Section 7-107 –
Access and Roadways, all roads are required to be designed to provide “adequate and safe
access” and reviewed by the designated County Engineer. The Cascade Creek Mountain Road
Assessment documents summarize the engineering controls and construction specifications
associated with Oxy’s Cascade Creek Operating Area Mountain Road which begins below Oxy’s
switchback 1 and travels up the Talus and Escarpment Zones to Oxy’s switchback 6, see Figure
1.– Overview Map.
2.2 Mountain Road
Oxy’s Mountain Road is a private access road existing on Oxy property to serve Oil and Gas
Exploration and Production activities, see Figure 1. Oxy’s Mountain Road begins southwest of
Oxy’s switchback 1 in the SW ¼ of Section 20, Township 6 South, Range 97 West of the 6 th PM
and terminates northeast of switchback 6 in the SE ¼ of Section 21, Township 6 South, Range
97 West, 6th PM. The Mountain Road is approximately 19,958 feet (3.78 miles) long and traverses
the Talus Zone and Escarpment Zone with an elevation change of approximately 2,000 feet to
access Oxy’s Mesa operational area within the Plateau Zone. The Mountain Road allows for the
service of currently 32 well pads, six water storage facilities, and one storage area within Oxy’s
Mesa operational area. This roadway is typical of roads traversing the Talus and Escarpment
Zones providing access to natural gas production facilities and Centralized Exploration and
Production Facilities within the Plateau Zones located in Garfield County, Colorado.
2.3 Average Daily Traffic Numbers
Oxy collected traffic numbers accessing Oxy’s Cascade Creek field between July 2011 and June
2012. Oxy documented traffic numbers at the Lower Guard Shack, located at the terminus of
County Road 213, and at the Upper Guard Shack, located above Mountain Road switchback 6,
see Figure 1 for guard shack locations. Oxy’s traffic count found an average of 120 vehicles travel
the Mountain Road each day.
2.4 Road Description and Comparison
The following table compares Oxy’s Mountain Road to the Garfield County Roadway Standards
found in Table 7-107 of the LUDC for Rural Access Roads (Table 3 below):

Surface Gravel Native Material/Gravel
Based on the 2011 and 2012 roadway numbers collected by Oxy, the Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
for the Mountain Road is expected to be approximately 120 vehicles per day. Oxy’s Mountain
Road is located on private property and therefore is not located within a ROW.
One section of the road along the entire Mountain Road does not meet the Roadway Standards
for lane width. This section has a width of 9.9’ per lane. Aside from this short section of road, the
rest of the Mountain Road meets or exceeds the req uired 11’ lane width. Due to the topography
along the mountain road, the shoulder width along the road ranges from 0 – 20 feet. Although
not found on the entire Mountain Road, shoulder sections are found along portions of the
Mountain Road ensuring the roadway does not become congested within sections of the road.
Based on terrain of the road, ditches are constructed on the inside lane of the entire Mountain
Road to manage stormwater on the roadway. These ditches convey the stormwater into culverts
which pass under Oxy’s Mountain Road and dissipate down the hillside.
Two of the six switchbacks as part of Oxy’s Mountain Road do not accommodate a minimum
turning radius of 80 feet as required by the Rural Access Roadway Standards. These locations
are Oxy’s switchback 2 with a turning radius of 52’ and Oxy’s switchback 6 with a turning radius
of 54’. Oxy’s Mountain Road grade ranges from 5% to 13%, as compared to the Rural Access
Roadway standard requiring a maximum grade of 12%. Within the Mountain Road, only one
roadway section does not meet the grade requirements of the Rural Access Roadway Standards.
2.5 Mountain Road Best Management Practices
Oxy has implemented the following Best Management Practices (BMPs) to aid in providing
adequate and safe access where Oxy’s Mountain Road does not meet Secondary Access
Roadway standards. The following signage is posted along the Mountain Road:
Limit access from public and only allowing authorized personnel to utilize the road
Speed limit signs of 20 miles per hour or less. Speed limits are enforced by a private
contractor throughout Oxy’s Cascade Creek area.

Through most of the Mountain Road, Oxy has installed Jersey barriers or Hesco barriers
along the outside edge of the road to aid in safe passage. These sections of barriers are
mainly installed through less visible, narrow, or steep sections of road. The entire road is not
edged with barriers to allow for snow removal and blading operations to have adequate
locations for snow and gravel storage.
Oxy conducts 14 day stormwater inspections as well as post-precipitation inspections along
the entire Mountain Road. These inspections document Mountain Road and stormwater
feature condition and document road maintenance issues needed for repair on a regular
basis.
Oxy completes regular maintenance of the Mountain Road to include grading, snow removal,
maintaining stormwater BMPs, and upgrading or improvements to the roadway identified
during operation.
During spring and winter, Oxy requires the use of chains on the Mountain Road as a
precautionary BMP. Additionally, Oxy maintains a website to allow contractors to monitor
current site conditions and road alerts for requiring chains, or closed roads due to weather
conditions.
During dry periods and windy events, Oxy completes dust suppression using water and
chemical suppressant (i.e. magnesium chloride) spreading to ensure safe visibility is not
impaired during wind events. Details on dust controls are provided in Oxy’s Dust

3.0 CASCADE CREEK MESA ROAD
3.1 Scope
According to the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) Section 7-107 –
Access and Roadways, all roads are required to be designed to provide “adequate and safe
access” and reviewed by the designated County Engineer. The Cascade Creek Mesa Road
Assessment documents summarize the engineering controls and construction specifications
associated with Oxy’s Cascade Creek Operating Area Mesa Road which begins at Oxy’s
switchback 6 and travels the Plateau Zone to Oxy’s 604-12-13 Storage Site and 697-16-16
Storage Site, see Figure 1– Overview Map.
3.2 Mesa Road
Oxy’s Mesa Road is a private access road existing on Oxy property to serve Oil and Gas
Exploration and Production activities, see Figure 1. Oxy’s Mesa Road begins northeast of
switchback 6 in the SE ¼ of Section 21, Township 6 South, Range 97 West, 6th PM and terminates
at the entrance of the 604-12-13 Storage Site and 697-16-16 Storage Site facility located in the
NE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 4, Township 6 South, Range 97 West, 6th PM. The Mesa Road is
approximately 43,010 feet (8.15 miles) long and traverses the Plateau Zone to access the site.
The Mesa Road allows for the service of currently 38 well pads, six water storage facilities, and
one storage area within Oxy’s Mesa operational area. This roadway is typical of roads traversing
the Plateau Zone providing access to natural gas production facilities and Centralized Exploration
and Production Facilities within the Plateau Zone located in Garfield County, Colorado.
3.3 Average Daily Traffic Numbers
Oxy collected traffic numbers accessing Oxy’s Cascade Creek field between July 2011 and June
2012. Oxy documented traffic numbers at the Lower Guard Shack, located at the terminus of
County Road 213, and at the Upper Guard Shack, located above Mountain Road switchback 6,
see Figure 1 for guard shack locations. Oxy’s traffic count found an average of 120 vehicles travel
the Mesa Road each day.
3.4 Road Description and Comparison
The following table compares Oxy’s Mesa Road to the Garfield County Roadway Standards found
in Table 7-107 of the LUDC for Rural Access Roads (Table 3 below):

Maximum % Grade 12% <12%, except 5 sections
Surface Gravel Native Material/Gravel
Based on the 2011 and 2012 roadway numbers collected by Oxy, the Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
for the Mesa Road is expected to be approximately 120 vehicles per day. Oxy’s Mesa Road is
located on private property and therefore is not located within a ROW.
Four sections along the entire Mesa Road do not meet the Roadway Standards for lane width.
Aside from these short sections of road, the rest of the Mesa Road meets or exceeds the required
11’ lane width. Due to the topography along the Mesa Road, the shoulder width along the road
ranges from 0 – 10 feet. Although not found on the entire Mesa Road, shoulder sections are
found along portions of the Mesa Road ensuring the roadway does not become congested within
sections of the road.
Based on terrain of the road, ditches are constructed on at least one side of the Mesa Road to
manage stormwater on the roadway. These ditches convey the stormwater into culverts which
dissipate stormwater away from the roadway.
All switchbacks associated with the Mesa Road access to 604-12-13 Storage Site and 697-16-16
Storage Site accommodate a minimum turning radius of 80 feet as required by the Rural Access
Roadway Standards. Except for five sections, Oxy’s Mountain Road grade meets the maximum
grade requirement of Rural Access roads of 12%.
3.5 Mountain Road Best Management Practices
Oxy has implemented the following Best Management Practices (BMPs) to aid in providing
adequate and safe access where Oxy’s Mesa Road does not meet Secondary Access Roadway
standards:
Limit access from public and only allowing authorized personnel to utilize the road
Speed limit signs of 20 miles per hour or less. Speed limits are enforced by a private
contractor throughout Oxy’s Cascade Creek area.
Uphill traffic has the right of way. This aids in reducing the amount of congestion along the
roadway and allows for more efficient passage during inclement weather or busy times of the
day.
Oxy conducts 14 day stormwater inspections as well as post-precipitation inspections along
the entire Mesa Road. These inspections document Mesa Road and stormwater feature
condition and document road maintenance issues needed for repair on a regular basis.
Garfield County Roadway Standards Assessment
Oxy USA WTP LP 013-0655

Oxy completes regular maintenance of the Mesa Road to include grading, snow removal,
maintaining stormwater BMPs, and upgrading or improvements to the roadway identified
during operation.
During spring and winter, Oxy requires the use of chains on the Mesa Road as a
precautionary BMP. Additionally, Oxy maintains a website to allow contractors to monitor
current site conditions and road alerts for requiring chains, or closed roads due to weather
conditions.

detecting fire alarms to alert the occupants of a fire. All occupants would be i nformed as
to escape routes and fire extinguisher locations. All the mobile home units would be
equipped with fire extinguishers capable of fighting A, B, and C-type fires. Fire
extinguishers would be mounted on the walls or in easily visible locations. Since the
proposed temporary housing quarters would be placed on COGCC-permitted well pad
that is clear of vegetation, the risk of wildfires would be minimal. Smoking would only be
permitted in designated areas adjacent to the housing quarters. Open fires would not be
permitted. Only gas grills would be used outdoors.
All trailers, potable water systems and wastewater systems will be located within the
confines of the well pad as approved by the COGCC.
