The information and discussion below addresses each comment as it was presented by the Division: 1. Wellstar Corporation and the Estate of H.L. Willett were identified as potential mineral rights owners/lessees during a mineral rights title search for the 25th Avenue Site local permitting requirements. Both entities informed us that they do not have mineral interests within 200 feet of the 25th Avenue Site. Neither entity is an affected land owner of record (surface area) or owners of the substance to be mined, therefore, they are not included in Exhibit O. Additionally, neither entity owns property, easements, right-of- ways, structures, or utilities within 200 feet of the 25th Avenue Site so they are not included on Exhibit C plan maps. 2. Notice was provided to Associated Natural Gas, Inc. of Greeley, Colorado. The owner of the gas easement called out on Exhibit C-5 is Natural Gas Associates, taken from the site title search information. Contacting the address notified, 3026 4th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80631 (970-378-6340), Lew Hagenlock confirmed that Natural Gas Associates was a predecessor of Associated Natural Gas, Inc. which was a predecessor of Duke Energy Field Services which was a predecessor of DCP Midstream. In addition to Associated Natural Gas, Inc. being notified, DCP Midstream has been contacted several times regarding the project. We were told that the proper entity has been notified. The table in Exhibit C-1 was changed to include `Natural Gas Associates' as the owner of the gas easement, as still recorded in the property title documents. A revised Exhibit C-1 is attached. 3. The cross-section on Exhibit C-5 has been corrected to read "50' MIN". A revised Exhibit C-5 is attached.
