** EWS will dispose of the used filters to a landfill as per the landfills
specifications.
** The dumpster on site for the trash will have 6' fence around it.
** The sludge from the tanks will be hauled off to CSI to be disposed of
properly under their guidelines.
Waste Handling Plan
A dumpster will be on site for normal business refuse and will be emptied
weekly.
Waste will be disposed of at
Waste Management
North Weld Landfill
4000 Weld County Road 25
Ault Colorado 80610
Phone Number 866-482-6319
** EWS will implement and enforce a dust abatement during and after
construction is finished.
Dust Abatement Plan
During the construction phase of the project EWS will utilize water trucks to
maintain dust suppression. The storm water management plan will be
followed to mitigate soil erosion during the construction phase.
After construction is completed the site will be stabilized using native
vegetation and compacted gravel surfaces. Vegetation will not be allowed to
grow over 12" high. Additionally EWS will maintain the gravel drives and
entrances. A water truck will be provided as necessary to maintain dust
suppression.
We (Expedition Water Solutions) EWS, are purposing to build a Class II salt water
disposal with the capability to recycle the water and wash out trucks/tanks near
the town of Keota. This disposal will have one entrance/exit for truck traffic with a
concrete receiving pad where the trucks will off-load (and possibly load recycled
water in the future). The entrance is on the west side of the property off WCR
105 once inside the gate the flow of traffic will then head east to get onto the
receiving pad. There will be six bays constructed initially. Four bays will be
designated for off-loading trucks and two bays will be designated for loading
recycled water or washing trucks/tanks out at a later date. Once the truck is on
the pad with the engine shut off we will ground the truck and begin to offload the
truck. The driver will then go into the office area to fill out a manifest which is
required by the state. We anticipate a maximum of 130 trucks visiting the site per
day.
The truck will offload via enclosed loop system. EWS will be recycling water for
both oilfield use and the potential of rinsing out trucks and tanks. All this will be
on the concrete pad where the trench will catch the rinse water off the
trucks/tanks and water left in the hose once the truck is offloaded. This rinse
water will be entered back into our system for recycling or injection. The concrete
vault will receive the water from the trench and then be pumped out to the flat
tank. The vault will be triple lined and will have a monitoring well to detect if the
liners would ever become violated. The water being offloaded will pass through
the flat tank then over to the gun barrel and from there into the system tanks. At
this point in the process the water will be filtered to at least 50 microns and then
injected via an injection pump. The injection pump will be located in the only
building on this site. The building will also contain the offices and restrooms for
staff and drivers
There will a sign at the entrance that will have the hours of operation, PPE that
must be worn on site, as well as the operating company along with emergency
contact numbers. We have hired an electrical engineer to keep the light pollution
to a minimal. As mentioned earlier we would like to recycle water at some point
in time but, will probably try to do these in phases with the disposal as our first
phase.
The property will have a gate at the entrance along with the property under the
USR to be fenced with three wire fence. The facility will be operated 24/7 with at
least two employees on site at all times. As for landscaping we will re-seed after
construction with native grass to keep the dust down. Our dumpster will have a 6'
tall wood fence around it for screening purposes.
Waste Handling Plan:
A dumpster will be on site for normal business refuse and will be emptied weekly.
Waste will be disposed of at

EWS uses a scale inhibitor and a biocide with no more than 50 gallons of each inside
the building. Once chemicals are on locations MSDS sheets will be available and will
make sure a copy is sent to the County.
Dust Abatement Plan:
During the construction phase of the project EWS will utilize water trucks to maintain
dust suppression. The storm water management plan will be followed to mitigate soil
erosion during the construction phase.
After construction is completed the site will be stabilized using native vegetation and
compacted gravel surfaces. Vegetation will not be allowed to grow over 12" high.
Additionally EWS will maintain the gravel drives and entrances. A water truck will be
provided as necessary to maintain dust suppression.
We are in the process of applying for a drilling permit with the state oil and gas
commission. As for monitoring wells these will be set in place once construction of the
facility is completed. These monitoring wells will be inspected by a third party every
three months.
Traffic Narrative:
EWS anticipates approximately 120 trucks a day will visit the site over a typical 24 hr period. EWS
believes 751 of the trucks will leave the site (and come from)going north on Weld CR 105. Once the
traffic reaches State Highway 14 EWS anticipates that 751 of the traffic will head west on HW 14 and
the remainder of the trucks will head north and east. EWS agrees to accept the triggers for road
maintenance level designated by Weld County.

Dear Mr. Goddard:
This correspondence summarizes the water quality monitoring program and proposed groundwater monitoring well
installation located at the above-referenced treatment and disposal facility. The well installation and baseline soil and
groundwater quality sampling activities will be scheduled after basic site infrastructure has been constructed. A site
location map is included as Figure I, and a proposed site conditions map illustrating the anticipated monitoring well
locations is included as Figure 2.
The Groundwater Monitoring Plan provides baseline groundwater quality data,which will facilitate early detection of an
unknown subsurface release of exploration and production fluids related to facility processing activities. In addition to
groundwater sampling, depth to groundwater will be measured in each monitoring well and the groundwater elevation,
flow direction,and hydraulic gradient will be calculated using surveyed well elevations in order to monitor groundwater
flow trends.
Water quality samples will be collected and analyzed for constituents associated with oil and gas exploration and
production activity. Water quality sampling activities for the EWS #1 facility will be performed on a quarterly basis.
Water quality samples will be submitted to a contract laboratory for analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and
xylenes(BTEX),total dissolved solids(TDS), and chlorides. A full description of CGRS' Methods and Procedures for
field and reporting activities are provided in Attachment A.
Four permanent groundwater monitoring wells (MW-I through MW-4) will be installed up-gradient, down-gradient
and/or adjacent to facility operation areas (Figure 2). The proposed monitoring wells will be installed to a depth of
approximately 30 feet below ground surface(bgs). The wells will be constructed with approximately 25 feet of 2-inch
diameter, 10-slot PVC screen and approximately 5 feet of solid PVC riser. 10/20 silica sand will be applied around the
screened portion of the wells to a depth of approximately 2 feet above the well screen, at which point the well borings
will be sealed with a hydrated bentonite/grout mixture to the surface. Monitoring wells will be finished with locking j-
plug well seals and either 4-inch square aluminum stick-up mounts or flush-mounted traffic rated manways. Pertinent
information, such as soil sample descriptions of color, texture, consistency, moisture content, and soil vapor readings
along with well construction details of each monitoring well will be provided in the associated quarterly groundwater
monitoring report.
CGRS will begin quarterly groundwater monitoring prior to when the facility commences full-scale operation in order to
obtain adequate baseline water quality samples. It should be noted that after the installation of groundwater monitoring
wells, and after site construction has been completed, a revised monitoring plan will be submitted (as applicable) to
document any updated site conditions.

Soil Borings
Soil sampling will be conducted in accordance with ASTM:D 1586-08a. Using this procedure, a 2-inch
O.D. split-spoon sampler will be driven into the soil by a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches. After an
initial set of 6 inches, the number of blows required to drive the sample an additional 12 inches, known as
the penetration resistance (N value), will be recorded. The N value is an index of the relative density of
cohesionless soils and the consistency of cohesive soils.
Soil Classification/Characterization
As samples are obtained in the field, they will be visually inspected and classified in accordance with
ASTM:D 1488-84. Representative portions of the samples will then be retained for further examination and
for verification of the various strata, the N value, water level data, and pertinent information regarding the
method of maintaining and advancing the boring will be provided. Charts illustrating the soil classification
procedure, descriptive terminology, and symbols used on the logs will be provided. As samples are
collected, they will be examined for evidence of petroleum hydrocarbons using visual appearance and by
screening with portable photoionization detection equipment.
Decontamination
To avoid potential transport of contaminated materials to the project site, all drilling equipment and down-
hole tools will be steam cleaned prior to mobilization. To prevent cross contamination between soil borings
or monitoring wells, all down-hole equipment will also be steam cleaned and rinsed with water between soil
borings.
Monitoring Well Construction
Monitoring wells will be installed utilizing the following general construction criteria:
borehole diameter: minimum 2.0 inches push probe/6.25 inches conventional boring
L well diameter: 1 inch for push probe/2 inches for conventional boring
L estimated depth: ≥ 5 feet below static groundwater table
L casing material: schedule 40,flush thread PVC
-a-
CGRS, INC. Expedition Water Solutions—EWS#1 Facility
o well screen: I inch inside diameter(I.D.)for push probe/2 inch I.D. for conventional boring, #
0.01 slot PVC
▪ estimated screened interval: 10 feet above and 10 feet below the groundwater table (may be
adjusted based on total depth and water table position)
❑ annular pack: 10-20 silica sand
❑ protective casing: 4"aluminum above grade mount, locking cap; or 8" steel flush mount traffic
rated manway.
❑ annular seal: cement grout and bentonite pellets.
Groundwater Sampling
All borings where groundwater is encountered will be sampled from the suspected cleanest to the most
contaminated according to the protocols listed below. AU pertinent information will be recorded on a
sampling information form.
Field Protocol
Step I -Measure water level.
Step 2 - A dedicated polyethylene bailer will be used to develop each well. Three bore volumes will be
evacuated from each well prior to sampling.
Step 3 -Collect water samples. Water samples will be collected using a polyethylene bailer.
Step 4 - Store samples in a cooler on ice (-4° Celsius) for transport to the laboratory. Follow all
documentation and chain-of-custody procedures.
Step 5 - Clean equipment. Water level measurement equipment will be cleaned with ethanol followed by a
distilled water rinse.
Upon completion of soil or groundwater sampling, a chain of custody log will be initiated. A copy of the
chain of custody will be returned to the project manager.
Chemical Analysis
An approved contract laboratory will provide stationary laboratory analysis. The following analyses will be
performed:
Soil Analyses: Initial well installation
Chemical Parameters Method Used
Benzene/Toluene/Ethylbenzene/Total Xylenes (BTEX) EPA -8260 B

Water Analyses (Quarterly Groundwater Sampling)
Chemical Parameters Method Used
Benzene/Toluene/Ethylbenzene/Total Xylenes (BTEX) EPA-8260 B
Total Dissolved Solids(TDS) EPA- 160.1
Chlorides EPA -300.1
Groundwater Trend Analyses
Groundwater concentrations are measured in site monitoring wells on a quarterly basis. Upon receiving
groundwater analytical data from the laboratory the data is inserted into an historic groundwater analytical
data table. Chlorides and sulfates concentrations will be evaluated to ensure that the current
concentrations in each well do not exceed 1.25 times the average background conditions. If results
indicate that this threshold is exceeded, then further analyses or investigation will be conducted. Any
BTEX constituents discovered in a monitoring well water quality sample, which are above the Colorado
Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) levels, will be reanalyzed at the laboratory. The
presence of BTEX will prompt a complete evaluation of site operations since the last sampling event, and
prompt further subsurface investigation if warranted.
Groundwater Elevation Measurements
The following outlines our standard groundwater quality sampling methodology. Before purging any of the
soil test borings or monitoring wells,water level measurements must be taken.
Measuring Point
Establish the measuring point for the well. The measuring point is marked on the north side of the top of the
monitoring well riser. The top of the riser is normally a 2-inch schedule 40 PVC casing inside a locked
protective casing. The measuring point should be described on the groundwater sample collection record.
-c-
CGRS, INC. Expedition Water Solutions—EWS#1 Facility
Access
After unlocking or opening a monitoring well, the first task will be to obtain a water level measurement.
Water level measurements will be made using an electronic water level indicator. Depth to water and total
depth of the well will be measured for calculation of purge volume.
Measurement
To obtain a water level measurement, lower a decontaminated electronic water level probe into the
monitoring well. Care must be taken to assure that the electronic probe hangs freely in the monitoring well
and is not adhering to the well casing. The electronic probe will be lowered into the well until the audible
sound of the unit is detected and the light on the electronic sounder illuminates. At this time, the precise
measurement should be determined by repeatedly raising and lowering the probe to obtain an exact
measurement. The water level measurement is then entered on the groundwater sampling collection record
sheet or groundwater level data sheet to the nearest 0.01 feet.
Decontamination
The electronic probe shall be decontaminated immediately after use by wiping with isopropyl alcohol-
soaked paper towels and rinsed with distilled water. Always proceed in order from the suspected cleanest
well or soil test boring to the suspected most contaminated one.
Purge Volume Computation
All soil test borings, monitoring wells, and temporary monitoring wells will be purged prior to sample
collection. Depending upon the rate of recovery, three to five volumes of groundwater present in a well or
borehole shall be withdrawn prior to sample collection. If a well or borehole bails dry, the well or borehole
should be allowed to recharge and a sample taken as soon as there is sufficient volume for the intended
analysis. The volume of water present in each well or borehole shall be computed using the two measurable
variables;length of water column in soil boring or monitoring well depth and diameter.
Purging and Sample Collection Procedures
Bailinn
J Obtain a laboratory decontaminated disposable bailer and a spool of nylon rope or equivalent
bailer cord. Tie a bowline knot or equivalent through the bailer loop. Test the knot for
adequacy by creating tension between the line and the bailer. Tie again if needed. New rope
and bailer will be used for every sample or purge event. New clean latex gloves will be used
when touching the rope or bailer.
-d-
CGRS, INC. Expedition Water Solutions—EWS#1 Facility
▪ Spread a clean plastic sheet near the base of the well. The plastic sheet should be of sufficient
size to prevent bailer or bailer rope from contacting the ground surface.
L Place the bailer inside the well to verify that an adequate annulus is present between the bailer
and the well casing to allow free movement of the bailer.
❑ Lower the bailer carefully into the well casing to remove the sample from the top of the water
column,taking care not to agitate the water in the well.
L I Pour the bailed groundwater into a bucket. Once the bucket is full,transfer the water to a barrel
and contain on-site.
❑ Raise the bailer by grasping a section of cord, using each hand alternately. This bailer lift
method will assure that the bailer cord will not come into contact with the ground or other
potentially contaminated surfaces.
Sampling
▪ Instructions for obtaining samples for parameters are reviewed with the laboratory coordinator
to insure that proper preservation and filtering requirements are met.
C Appropriate sample containers will be obtained from the contract laboratory for each individual
analyses requested. After samples are collected, they will be put on ice in coolers (4°C). Care
will be taken to prevent breakage during transportation or shipment.
I I Samples collected by bailing will be poured directly into sample containers from bailers. The
sample should be poured slowly to minimize air entrapment into the sample bottle. During
collection, bailers will not be allowed to contact the sample containers.
I I Upon completion of sampling a chain-of-custody log will be initiated. Chain-of-custody records
will include the following information: project name and number,shipped by, shipped sampling
point, location, field ID number, date, time, sample type, number of containers, analysis
required, and sampler's signature. The samples and chain-of-custody will be delivered to the
laboratory. Upon arrival at the laboratory,the appropriate laboratory personnel will check in the
samples. Laboratory identification numbers will be noted on the chain-of-custody record. Upon
completion of the laboratory analysis,the completed chain-of-custody record will be returned to
the project manager.
Field Cleaning Procedures
For all equipment to be reused in the field,the following cleaning procedures must be followed:
-e-
CGRS, INC. Expedition Water Solutions—EWS#1 Facility
▪ Disassemble the equipment to the extent practical.
E Wash the equipment with distilled water and laboratory-grade detergent.
❑ Rinse with distilled water until all detergent is removed.
❑ Rinse the equipment with isopropyl alcohol, making sure all surfaces (inside and out) are
rinsed.
L I Triple rinse the equipment with distilled water.
Laboratory Selection
The project manager should consider the following factors when selecting a laboratory:
L I Capabilities (facilities,personnel, instrumentation), including:
▪ Participation in inter-laboratory studies (e.g. EPA or other Federal or State agency sponsored
analytical programs);
❑ Certifications(e.g. Federal or State);
▪ References(e.g. other clients); and
▪ Experience(UST, RCRA and other environmentally related projects).
❑ Service
L I Turnaround time; and
❑ Technical input(e.g. recommendations on analytical procedures).
The project manager is encouraged to gather pertinent laboratory-selection information prior to extensively
defining analytical requirements under the project. A request may be made to a laboratory to provide a
qualifications package that should address the points listed above. Once the project manager has reviewed
the various laboratory qualifications, further specific discussions with the laboratory or laboratories should
take place. In addition, more than one laboratory should be considered. For large-scale investigations,
selection of one laboratory as a primary candidate and one or two laboratories as fall-back candidates should
be considered.
The quality of the laboratory service provided is dependent on various factors. The project manager should
be able to control the quality of the information (e.g. samples) provided to the laboratory. It is extremely
important that the project manager communicate to the laboratory all the requirements relevant to the
project. This includes the number of samples and their matrices, sampling schedule, parameters and
constituents of interest, required analytical methodologies, detection limits, holding times, deliverables,
level of QA/QC, and required turnaround of analytical results.

Field and Laboratory Quality Control
General
Quality control checks are performed to ensure that the data collected is representative and valid data.
Quality control checks are the mechanisms whereby the components of QA objectives are monitored.
Examples of items to be considered are as follows:
I. Field Activities:
L I Use of standardized checklists and field notebooks;
L Verification of checklist information by an independent person;
L Strict adherence to chain-of-custody procedures;
L Calibration of field devices;
❑ Collection of replicate samples where applicable; and
❑ Submission of field blanks,where appropriate.
2. Analytical Activities:
L I Method blanks;
L Laboratory control samples:
L I Calibration check samples;
❑ replicate samples;
❑ Matrix-spiked samples;
❑ "Blind"quality control samplers;
❑ Control charts;
- Surrogate samples;
1 Zero and span gases; and
1 Reagent quality control checks.
Management of Waste Material
During the advancement of soil borings, decontamination of field equipment and development of soil
borings or temporary monitoring wells, waste materials will be generated. This section addresses both the
management of solid waste(soils)and the liquid wastes generated.
Soil generated during remedial activities will be containerized in 55-gallon drums or stockpiled on an
impermeable membrane and covered with plastic,which ever is most appropriate. The waste characteristics
of the soil will be determined by appropriate analytical methods and the soil disposed of in accordance with
-g-
CGRS, INC. Expedition Water Solutions—EWS#1 Facility
state and federal regulations. Water generated during field activities will be containerized in storage vessels
that are compatible with the suspected or identified contaminant(s). If required, the water will be analyzed
by appropriate analytical methods to determine its waste characteristics. If a water treatment system is
available, wastewater will be treated on-site, thus eliminating the need for disposal. A portable aeration
system can also be utilized to eliminate volatile contaminants in wastewater. In any event, the ultimate
disposition of water will be in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Reporting
After data has been compiled and analyzed, CGRS submits a summary report to Expedition Water Solutions
at the following address:

RE: Drainage letter for Expedition Water Solutions new facility on Weld County RD 105
Dear Ms. Petrik:
This letter addresses the Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) requirements and
existing and proposed drainage ways on the site
The storm-water historically enters the site from the north-west and drains across the
site to the south east. The proposed plan will collect offsite flows and direct them around the
improvements to the water quality pond in the south east corner of the site. The improvements
will also drain to the same water quality pond. When the water quality pond reaches capacity
at elevation 4902 storm-water will flow to the east as sheet flow. Storm water will travel
approximately 400 feet in existing grassed areas to further dissipate flows before they travel
onto the property to the south.
The proposed conditions imperviousness is 4.1 which is less than the 10 which would
require the site to have a detention pond. The WQCV required for the site is 7977 cubic feet.
The pond as shown on the grading plan provides approximately 8819 cubic feet of storage.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please
contact this office.
Sincerely,
,fie co is

We (Expedition Water Solutions) EWS, are purposing to build a Class II salt water
disposal with the capability to recycle the water and wash out trucks/tanks near
the town of Keota. This disposal will have one entrance/exit for truck traffic with a
concrete receiving pad where the trucks will off-load (and possibly load recycled
water in the future). The entrance is on the west side of the property off WCR
105 once inside the gate the flow of traffic will then head east to get onto the
receiving pad. There will be six bays constructed initially. Four bays will be
designated for off-loading trucks and two bays will be designated for loading
recycled water or washing trucks/tanks out at a later date. Once the truck is on
the pad with the engine shut off we will ground the truck and begin to offload the
truck. The driver will then go into the office area to fill out a manifest which is
required by the state. We anticipate a maximum of 130 trucks visiting the site per
day.
The truck will offload via enclosed loop system. EWS will be recycling water for
both oilfield use and the potential of rinsing out trucks and tanks. All this will be
on the concrete pad where the trench will catch the rinse water off the
trucks/tanks and water left in the hose once the truck is offloaded. This rinse
water will be entered back into our system for recycling or injection. The concrete
vault will receive the water from the trench and then be pumped out to the flat
tank. The vault will be triple lined and will have a monitoring well to detect if the
liners would ever become violated. The water being offloaded will pass through
the flat tank then over to the gun barrel and from there into the system tanks. At
this point in the process the water will be filtered to at least 50 microns and then
injected via an injection pump. The injection pump will be located in the only
building on this site. The building will also contain the offices and restrooms for
staff and drivers
There will a sign at the entrance that will have the hours of operation, PPE that
must be worn on site, as well as the operating company along with emergency
contact numbers. We have hired an electrical engineer to keep the light pollution
to a minimal. As mentioned earlier we would like to recycle water at some point
in time but, will probably try to do these in phases with the disposal as our first
phase.
The property will have a gate at the entrance along with the property under the
USR to be fenced with three wire fence. The facility will be operated 24/7 with at
least two employees on site at all times. As for landscaping we will re-seed after
construction with native grass to keep the dust down. Our dumpster will have a 6'
tall wood fence around it for screening purposes.
Waste Handling Plan:
A dumpster will be on site for normal business refuse and will be emptied weekly.
Waste will be disposed of at

EWS uses a scale inhibitor and a biocide with no more than 50 gallons of each inside
the building. Once chemicals are on locations MSDS sheets will be available and will
make sure a copy is sent to the County.
Dust Abatement Plan:
During the construction phase of the project EWS will utilize water trucks to maintain
dust suppression. The storm water management plan will be followed to mitigate soil
erosion during the construction phase.
After construction is completed the site will be stabilized using native vegetation and
compacted gravel surfaces. Vegetation will not be allowed to grow over 12" high.
Additionally EWS will maintain the gravel drives and entrances. A water truck will be
provided as necessary to maintain dust suppression.
We are in the process of applying for a drilling permit with the state oil and gas
commission. As for monitoring wells these will be set in place once construction of the
facility is completed. These monitoring wells will be inspected by a third party every
three months.
