Application for Use by Special Review
1. Description of Proposed Use:
This USR application is referred to as the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant application and is from
Kerr-McGee Gathering, a part of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. Anadarko/Kerr-McGee
operate 4,853 oil and gas wells in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin with the vast majority
being located in Weld County, Colorado. All of these wells produce varying amounts of
natural gas and residual oils that need to be routed to a pipeline through to processing
facilities so that the natural gas liquids are usable for consumers. The proposed site is to
include an amine and cryogenic facility for natural gas processing.
An amine treatment facility uses various amines to remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon
dioxide from gases. When gases are treated with an amine processor they result in products
that can be sent for further processing into more useable forms. From the amine treatment
facility, the gases continue to a cryogenic facility for further processing.
•
A cryogenic facility helps to extract natural gas liquids from the natural gas. These liquids,
mostly ethane and other lighter hydrocarbons, require cooling the gas to around - 120 degrees
Fahrenheit to extract higher rates of product. The gas is run through a series of pipes where
refrigerants and expansion turbines are used to cool the gas stream. The gas condensates and
ethane and other hydrocarbons are separated from the methane which stays gaseous. Usually
this process allows for a 90-95% recovery percentage of the ethane originally in the gas
stream. This application addresses the development of the Cryogenic Facility for the
demands that are associated with the increase in oil and gas production in the Wattenberg
Field. The proposed site is approximately 110 acres in area. The proposed facility is located
on a portion of the NE '/ of the NW '/4 of Section 14, Township 2 North, Range 66 West just
south of WCR 22 and 1-'/ mile east of WCR 31. The majority of SE '/4 and SW '/4 of the NW
/ of Section 14 will be left fallow for a yet to be determined use in the future. The site is
currently zoned Agricultural and is surrounded by Agricultural zoned properties.
The proposed facility will be just east and south of an existing oil and gas production facility
(Fort Lupton Station) owned by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (USR-1353AM, SUP-
211AM2, USR-1291, and USR-1002AM3). This new plant will be associated with the
existing production facility but will not be a part of the existing USR cases that are west and
north of the proposed site.

2. Consistency with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the
Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
Section 22-2-10 (D) emphasizes the extraction of natural resources as an important part of
the economy of the County. The development of this site contributes to the expansion of the
county's industrial economic base by providing increased capacity to an essential function in
the production of natural gas in the County.
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and policies for agriculturally zoned
properties, oil and gas deposits, as well as environmental pollutants that the cryogenic facility
may emit. The Comprehensive Plan also addresses the presence of oil and gas deposits in the
County and encourages the extraction of oil and gas resources that conserve the land and
•
Lancaster Cryogenic Plant Aadag 5
Usnl2-xxxx- WeldCounry b SELINE
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Petroleum Corporation
• minimize the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses. The
proposed facility will deal with the increase of natural gas liquids from newly developed
wells in the area. These liquids need to be separated for the delivery of products to
customers.
3. Consistency with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the
zone district in which it is located.
Oil and gas facilities are allowed as a use by right in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
However, oil and gas support and service operations such as this proposed Cryogenic/Amine
treating Facility require the approval of a Use by Special Review Permit (Section 23-3-
40(A))
4. Surrounding Uses and Compatibility with surrounding uses.
The Lancaster Cryogenic Plant has a variety of land uses surrounding it. To the west and
north there are two oil and gas production facilities owned by Anadarko. To the east and
south there are large tracks of agricultural land. The nearest home to the proposed site is
located 0.75 mile east on WCR 22.
Consideration has been taken to ensure that the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant will operate in a
manner that is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. The processing of
• natural gas produced in Weld County is a necessary component of marketing this valuable
resource. Providing the required treatment will not only foster the development of an
important economic base but will also contribute to the convenience and general welfare of
the residents of the County. The station contributes to the County's tax base with little or no
adverse impact in terms of additional roads or other governmental expenditures.
5. Describe the following:
a. Number of people who will use this site
There will be approximately 8 permanent employees assigned to the facility. The site is
also visited by different contractors that check the equipment and remove products and/or
waste on a weekly basis. These contractors are typically not on site for longer than one to
two hours at a time for inspections. The site will have its own water well and septic
system. There will be restroom facilities on site with running water. The site is also
monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week by the computers at the company's gas control
centers in Brighton and Denver.
b. Number of employees proposed to be employed at this site
There will be approximately 8 permanent employees assigned to the facility. During
construction of the improvements, additional personnel will be on site until completion.

• 7. Reclamation Procedures
Should the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant no longer be needed by Anadarko, all equipment will
be removed and the ground re-graded to accommodate agricultural uses.
8. Storm Water Drainage
The proposed site is relatively flat and will be surfaced with gravel. A drainage report with
detention is required for the site. This report is located in the appendix of this document.
9. Construction Period
Construction of the new Lancaster Cryogenic Plant is anticipated to commence soon upon
approval of this requested USR. The first phase of the project includes an amine treatment as
well as a cryogenic treatment facility with the anticipation of needing a second of each
facility in the future. Both phases of improvements are shown on the site plan documents.
Phase 1 grading and dirt work will last three months. Phase 1 plant construction will last nine
months.
10. Waste Handling Plan
Anadarko has a Waste Handling Plan (Plan) for each of their production facility sites (See
• Appendix). These plans are used to project the quantities and types of waste that will be
generated through operation of the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant and to detail the management
and disposition of this waste. The Plan further outlines the operational chemicals that will be
stored on-site and may require future disposal.
The objective of the Waste Handling Plan is to ensure waste generated at the Facility is
managed in accordance with all Local, State and Federal regulations. Additionally, the Plan
identifies operational chemicals used or stored on site requiring specific disposal pathways.
Kerr-McGee/Anadarko personnel are trained annually with regards to proper Waste
Management practices.
This facility is currently and will be serviced by Waste Management for solid waste removal.
A small dumpster will be located next to the small office building.
The following materials are expected to be stored at the Facility to support operations, and
have specific disposal requirements:
• 1-750 bbl raw water storage tank
• 2-400 bbl amine storage tanks (in secondary containment)
• 1- 200 bbl waste water storage tank (in secondary containment)
• 1-200 bbl lube oil storage tank (in secondary containment)
• 1-200 bbl hot oil storage tank (in secondary containment)
• 1-500 gallon mineral spirits storage tank (in secondary containment)
• 1-500 gallon diesel storage tank(in secondary containment)
Lancaster Cryogenic Plant Aada2 8
vsRlz-xxxx- Weld County
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Petroleum Corporation MSELINE
• • 2-500 gallon lube oil storage tank (in secondary containment)
• 1-dumpster for municipal waste
All liquids will be managed and disposed/re-cycled. The municipal waste dumpster will be
managed and disposed of by a contract waste management company. The dumpster will be
emptied either weekly or every two weeks and the roll-off is emptied on a call-out basis.
Non-routine waste (e.g. spills or releases) will be managed in accordance with Anadarko's
Emergency Response and Oil Spill Contingency Plan. Spills, as appropriate, will be reported
to the proper regulatory agency(s). Additionally, a site-specific Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan will be developed to outline appropriate actions to be taken in
the event of a spill or release. The SPCC Plan in conjunction with the Emergency
Response/Oil Spill Contingency Plan will ensure that all appropriate response actions are
taken and that all waste will be handled in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.
Both documents are written in accordance with requirements set forth by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Regarding a motor vehicle oil leak (potentially during construction), Anadarko standard
operating procedures are to dig up the contaminated soil and ship it to the Ault Waste
Management Facility or other similar facility. Anadarko then tests and analyzes the
remaining soil to be sure it is clear of all contaminates. Once that is completed, Anadarko
back fills the previously contaminated area. All waste is either piped out of the site or
removed by truck. The expanded capacity of this site will require a new NGL products line to
• transport the produced NGL to processing and refining sites. The size, operating pressure and
routing of this pipeline are yet to be determined.
11. Dust Abatement Plan
During the construction phase of the project, Anadarko will utilize water trucks to maintain
dust suppression. Also, 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 in allowed
areas, which will not be allowed to grow over 12" high. Additionally, Anadarko will gravel
the access drive and circulation pattern. In addition, a water truck will be utilized to control
dust after construction, if required.

NOISE CONTROL:
The operation of the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant shall comply with the noise standards
enumerated in Section 802 of the COGCC Amended Rules 2008.
Noise will be emitted from the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant. It is anticipated that the proposed
equipment will actually have minimal noise emissions. Additionally, the rural nature of these
sites is preferred to mitigate the effects of noise emissions on the surrounding property
owners.
AIR AND WATER QUALITY:
All activities will be in compliance with the permit and control provisions of the Colorado
Air Quality Control Program, Title 25, Article 7, C.R.S. as applicable. A septic system will
be located on site. No waste water from the production facility will be discharged within the
site. All water and waste is carried by vehicle or pipeline off the site.
LIGHTING:
Lighting on the site will be downcast and shielded lighting will be provided on the proposed
• building. Lighting is for nighttime and emergency work only.
Any source of lighting on the site shall be shielded so that light will not shine directly onto
adjacent properties where such would cause a nuisance or interfere with the use on the
adjacent properties. In addition, neither direct nor reflected light from any light source on
site will create a traffic hazard to operators of motor vehicles on the adjacent access road.
WEED CONTROL:
The Lancaster Cryogenic Plant site will be kept free of weeds; rubbish, and other waste
material. The area shall be treated if necessary and as practicable to prevent invasion of
undesirable species and noxious weeds.

• 3. Required Permits
Weld County:
A Use by Special Review Permit is required to be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners prior to construction of this facility.
Kerr McGee/Anadarko will submit any additional permits necessary for county approval
prior to the commencement of construction on site.
Fort Lupton Fire Protection District:
The Site Plan and Special Review Use Application will be referred to and reviewed by the
Fort Lupton Fire Protection District. Approval of the plans is expected. A letter from the fire
district regarding this proposal will be added to the Appendix once it is received.
Oversize Load Permits:
If necessary, oversize load permits will be obtained prior to moving any new equipment onto
the site.
Access Permits:
• Access Permits and traffic plans will be submitted as part of this application. The submitted
access application is in the Appendix.
4. Traffic
The proposed site will have a total of 8 employees that work around the clock in varying
shifts. The primary access to the site is and will continue to be off of WCR 22 east of WCR
31. WCR 22 is currently utilized primarily by the plants to the north and west of the proposed
site. Anadarko vehicles and contractor pick-up trucks will be going to and from the facility
and neighboring oil and gas businesses utilizing WCR 22. On a daily basis semi-trucks will
come to the facility to remove waste from the production facility.
In 2009, the average daily traffic count on WCR 22 in the area the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant
was proposed was approximately 1,000 cars. The addition of the plant would have little
effect on that number only adding 8 employee vehicles per day, several visitors per day, and
4 semi-trucks per day, or total of 56 vehicle trips per day. The proposed plant will not
adversely affect the area traffic from the current traffic that accesses the neighboring sites.
Documentation of an improvements agreement and road maintenance agreement will be
provided after such agreement is prepared. One hundred feet of asphalt and double cattle
guards will be installed for Tracking Control.

• CONCLUSIONS
Based on the existing utilization of WCR 22 and the lack of additional daily trips that the
proposed activities will generate, it does not appear that approving the proposed use would
be detrimental to the safety or welfare of the motoring public in Weld County.
A detailed traffic memorandum is included in the appendix.
5. Fire & Emergency Response
There is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the immediate area and the county.
All roads leading to and those in the site area will be designed and maintained to support fire
apparatus. A turnaround will be constructed as necessary to accommodate fire apparatus. In
addition to the above-referenced rules and regulations, Anadarko is also subject to COGCC
Rule 6064 pertaining to Fire Prevention and Protection. Anadarko has support personnel in
the field or on call at all times to provide technical assistance in fire prevention and
elimination.

Re: ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP., Lancaster Cryogenic Plant
OVERVIEW
This traffic memo is prepared to accompany the USR permit application for the Lancaster Cryogenic Plant
proposed by Anadarko Petroleum. This memo provides an overview of the long term and construction traffic
associated with this site.
BACKGROUND
The site is located approximately 5 miles northeast of Ft. Lupton and will have access off of Weld County
Road 22 which is a two lane paved asphalt road. WCR 22 terminates at Highway 85 approximately 3.3
miles to the west of the site in a stop sign condition.
The proposed use on the site will be a cryogenic plant for natural gas processing. The plant will be
• constructed in two phases. The plant will be operational after the first phase of construction and will be
expanded as part of the second phase of construction at a future date.This memo assesses traffic during
phase 1 construction and long term traffic during operation.
TRIP GENERATION
Construction Traffic
Construction of the site will involve site improvements such as access road construction, site grading
and excavation, and drainage features followed by construction of the plant buildings, equipment, and
fencing. The following table is an estimate of the duration of each phase of construction.

Phase 1 Duration
Grading and Dirt Work 3 months
Plant Construction 9 months

• The following table is an estimate of the number of workers
and trucks involved with each phase of construction.

Grading and Dirt Work 20 workers 40 trucks
Plant Construction 150 workers 40 trucks
The daily trip rates used for determining the project's construction trip generating potential related to
site workers are based on the 7th Edition of ITE Trip Generation manual for General Light Industrial
workers.The rates are shown in Table 3.

Long Term Plant Traffic
• The long term operation of the plant will include 8 on-site employees along with daily visitors. There will
be trucks accessing the site for plant operations and sludge removal of the ISDS facilities. The trip
generation rates from Table 3 have been applied for the employee trip rates. The following is the
expected long term trip generation for the plant:

Long Term Plant Operation
Employee Trips 8 employees/day 24 vehicle trips/day
Visitor Trips 8 visitors/day 16 vehicle trips/day
Truck Trips 4 trucks/day 16 vehicle trips/day *
Total Daily Trips 56 vehicle trips/day
*0ne inbound and one outbound trip per day and a Passenger Car Equivalent Factor of 2.0
included for each truck.
• TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Approximately 95% of vehicles entering and exiting the site during construction and during operation of
the plant will do so from/to the west towards Highway 85.
CONCLUSION
The proposed use of the site and associated traffic is consistent with the existing uses on surrounding
properties and existing traffic on WCR 22. WCR 22 is a paved asphalt roadway. The intersection of WCR 22
and Highway 85 has the appropriate acceleration and deceleration lanes in place to facilitate safe turning
movements at WCR 22.
The closest existing access off of WCR 22 towards the west is approximately 200 feet from the proposed
access. The closest existing access towards the east is approximately 800 feet from the proposed access.
The proposed access off of WCR 22 should provide adequate turning radii for semitrailer truck turning
movements.The typical turning radius is 65 feet for truck drive access points.
The proposed access and use of the site as a cryogenic plant should not create any adverse impacts on the
surrounding road network.
