RË: Speakman A Booster Compressor NTC #7
Dear Mr. Hartmann,
Per our phone conversation, the noise analysis was conducted by Robert Bleil, Þwayne
Knudson, Dave Hayes, Ursa Operating Company LLC and peer reviewed by Ken Kreie, Olsson
Associates. The noise readings provided in Exhibit A were taken by Dave Hayes, who has one
year of experience with our noise monitoring equipment and has conducted over 1"00 noise
readings. Ken Kreie's credentials were attached to the originalapptication, which shows six
years' experience in noise control regulation compliance,
ln the NTC Response dated March lst, it was stated the "project noise levels for the proposed
booster at 350 feet would be 45.2 dBA; which is within COGCC's most restrictive standard of S0
dBA for ruralfresidential". The projected noise at 350' with proposed single compressor was
calculated by using the existing 350' S data {+Z.S dBA) minus 570 which is the average difference
between the existing compressors and the proposed single compressor (47.5 x0.9S = 45.12S).
The average difference of 5% was calculated by subtracting the AXIP data from the Ursa data to
equal the reading variations (87.07-88.8 = -1.73). The percentage of difference was calculated
by dividing the reading variation by the AX|P averag e {-t.73lS7.OT= -2%1.
The existing six compressors are under the 50dBA therefore we anticipate the proposed single
compressor will be under the 50dBA as well. However Ursa is proposing sound wall mitigation
using an 5TC-40 sound watl to further reduce the potential for sound impacts to the
community.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Ursa Response: A letter explaining Ursa's corporate structure and relationship
between Ursa Piceance and Ursa Operating Company is included in this response.
5. The use of previous studies is outlined in the Project Description Section of the
Submittals. The pre-application meeting summary and discussion noted that the use
of previous studies may be accepted provided that they are still current and address
the issues as applicable to the current Application. More detailed informatíon on the
use of the previous studies is needed as outlined below:
The Grading and Drainage plan section of the submittal needs to include a
clarification explaining the documentation provided including responses to
previous referral comments for the Speakman A lnjection Well and how they are
relevant to or support the current Application.
Ursa Response: See letter dated February 5, 2016 from Matrix Design Group
included in this response.
The Traffic Report section of the submittal needs to include a clarification
explaining the traffic generation anticipated from the current Application and
confirming that the findings of the report are relevant to the current application.
While the projqct summary states that no additionaltraffic will be generated, it does
not address construction traffic and the traffic associated with monitoring or
maintenance of the new facility.
Ursa Response: A clarification from Olsson's Traffic Engineer, Chris Rolling, is
included in this response.
ln regard to the Roadway Waiver, the project summary states that the current road
continues to be maintained as described in the Roadway Assessment Report. The
current Application needs to confirm that the findings included in the report are still
current and the condition of the road has not changed.
Ursa Response: See letter dated February 9, 2016 from Matrix Design Group
included in this response. Photos of the road are included, also.
6. The site plan needs to be updated to shown tank sizes for existing tanks on the well
pad and adjacent to the proposed compressor.
Ursa Response: A revised site plan showing the tank sizes for existing tanks on the
well pad is included in this response.
7 . The Application provides copies of Air Quality Permits for tank storage on the site. The
Application needs to address if Air Quality Permits will be needed for the booster
compressor,

Ursa Response: A revised Air Quality Permit will be required for the Speakman A
Booster Compressor. Ursa has 30 days from the date the compressor goes onlíne to
evaluate the potential to emit and update their permit. A copy of the approved permit
will be foruvarded to Garfield County as soon as it is approved.
8. The Sound Study provided does not include documented conclusions that the sound
generated by the booster compressor will be compliant with COGCC noise standards.
Mitigation by the proposed acoustical barrier and from topography south of the site
should quantified to more clearly establish an estimate of code compliance.
Ursa Response: Ursa has further analyzed potential noise levels at the location to
ensure COGCC noise standards are complied with at the compliance point of 350
feet. The Booster Compressor is considered production equipment as its sole intent
is to replace six (6) existing individual well boosters, and should not be considered
midstream compression. The information attached (Exhibit A to the NTC response)
will also demonstrate that the new compressor will result in less noise than the existing
six (6) individual booster compressors.
To determine potential noise levels of the proposed single booster compressor vs. six
(6) individual boosters, Ursa took representative noise readings on February 24,2016.
These noise readings included background (not just oil and gas) and existing well pad
noise (including the six (6) existing boosters).
Ursa took readings to replicate the distances in the Exhibit A study and compared
them to Attachment A in the application. As shown on Exhibit A, noise levels provided
in Attachment A for the proposed single compressor are lower than the six (6) existing
booster compressors by an average of 5o/o for distances of 20 - 240 feet.
However, the COGCC compliance standard is based on 350 feet as mentioned above,
whích was not provided in Attachment A of the application. Ursa collected data at two
separate points at a distance of 350 feet showed readings of 46.4 and 47.5 dBA,
without Ursa's proposed sound mitigation. Project noise levels for the proposed
booster at 350 feet would be 45.2 dBA; which is within COGCC's most restrictive
standard of 50 dBA for rural/residential.
Please note that the standard for light industrial, which Ursa believes is the applicable
standard, is consistent with the noise standard approved by Garfield County, within
the PUD at 70 dBA. Also note that the closest resident is over 800 feet from the
location. Without quantifying the reduction in noise with mitigation at 800 feet, Ursa
would be within all compliance standards.
Ursa believes that the proposed compression engine to replace the six (6) existing
boosters will meet all standards. However, Ursa is proposing sound wall mitigation

us¡ng an STC 40 sound barrier to further reduce the potentialfor sound impacts to the
community, Ursa is prepared to provide additional mitigation as necessary to rema¡n
within noise standards.

RE: Speakman A Pad Compressor Station Drainage Update
Dear Scott,
Per our discussion on the phone, it was explained that it is the intention to install a portable
booster compressor (on skid pads) on the existing Speakman A lnjection Well Pad. The booster
compressor will be mobile, is small in stature, and non-permanent. The booster does not
increase the long term imperviousness of the site, and does not appear to impact the overall
drainage analysis of the site performed for the injection well. The terms and conditions as
outlined in the review process through Garfield County, questions received by the Garfield
County review engineer, and subsequent responses, during the injection well application will
still be applicable to this project. Water quality and erosion control measures should be
reviewed with the active management plan for the well pad, and if necessary updated and
monitored, during the construction process.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Speakman A Booster Compressor
Traffic Update

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this memorandum is to serve as a supplement to a traffic study performed by
Olsson Associates in February o'Í2014 for the Speakman A well pad in the Battlement Mesa PUD
located in Garfield County, CO. The well pad is operational and the operator (URSA) plans an
additional use for the site, a booster compressor. This document summaries an evaluation of
potential traffic generation for a proposed booster compressor on the existing Speakman A well
pad.
SITE TRIP GENERATION
There is expected to be limited "construction" traffic to the site as the booster compressor is
currently on-site. Construction efforts will be limited to installation of the booster compressorwhich
is expected to last approximately three days. Two low boy trailers, one crane, and six one-ton
service trucks will access the site for the booster compressor installation. This will result in
approximately 18 daily trips (two-way) for the duration of the three-day construction timeline.
Once the construction is complete, there is not expected to be additional traffic associated with
the monitoring and maintenance of the new facility. The site will be monitored by personnel
already visiting the site for other well pad duties.

RE: Speakman A Pad Compressor Station Roadway
Dear Scott,
Per our discussion on the phone, it was explained that it is the intention to install a portable
booster compressor (on skid pads) on the existing Speakman A lnjection Well Pad. No roadway
improvements are proposed with this ínstallatíon. Per previous roadway standard
documentation with the well injection application, prepared by Olsson and Associates, the
existing roadways met the requirements of Garfield County. Changes or alterations to the
roadway that may become necessary should be reviewed against the General Engineering
Standards and Practices section of the Garfield County Land Use Code, Road and Bridge
Standard Design Requirements, and be certified by a Professional Engineer.
