Park PMG/js • • Use by Special Review Application Packet DCP Midstream, LP Sullivan Compressor • Station, Weld County, CO June 1, 2011 0 ENERCON Introduction DCP Midstream, LP (DCP) is in the process of expanding operations in Weld County, CO. The expansion will include a new gas plant, three to four(3-4) compressor stations and interconnecting pipelines. This Use by Special Review (USR) permit application addresses only the Sullivan compressor station. Additional USR permit applications will be submitted for the remaining compressor stations,the gas plant, and pipelines. The Sullivan compressor station site is located northeast of Greeley, CO, in central Weld County. DCP intends to construct the compressor station between early 2012 and 2013. The total site will be approximately 35 acres; however, only 10 acres are expected to be disturbed by construction or operation activities. After construction, a 3-strand barbed wire fence will be installed along the property boundary per CDPHE's requirements under the NOX regulations. The compressor site will be fully fenced with a 6-foot chain link fence with a security gate. The area inside the fence will be graveled. The area outside the fence will be re-vegetated with native grasses. • After construction,the site will be un-manned. Because the site will not be permanently occupied, permanent sewage and water utilities will not be provided. However, bottled water and a portable sewage unit will be provided by DCP. DCP met with Briggsdale Fire Chief Steve Freemeyer on May 31, 2011 to discuss fire protection for the Sullivan compressor station. In the event of a fire, it is anticipated that water or chemical retardants will be transported to the site. Weld County code stipulates noise levels for industrial or construction sites be below 80 dB(A) from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and below 75 dB(A) from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. DCP does not foresee exceeding these limitations during the construction or operation of the compressor station. Weld County code stipulates light rays will not shine directly onto adjacent properties where such would cause a nuisance or interfere with the use on the adjacent property. Also stipulated in the code is: "Neither direct nor reflected light from any light source may create a traffic hazard to operators of motor vehicles on public or private streets and colored lights that may be confused with or construed as traffic control devices shall not be used." DCP does not intend to use excessive lighting and does not foresee exceeding limitations regarding lighting on the Sullivan compressor station. • • Table of Contents Use by Special Review Application Exhibit A Plat Map 24x36 Exhibit B Plat Map 8.5x11 Exhibit C Plat Map Digital Copy no exhibit Use by Special Review Questionnaire Exhibit D Weld County Road Access Information Sheet Exhibit E Evidence of Adequate Water Supply Exhibit F Evidence of Adequate Sewage Disposal Exhibit G Deed and/or Ownership Information Exhibit H Certificate of Conveyance Exhibit I • Soils Report Exhibit J Affidavit and Certified List of Surface/Mineral Owners Exhibit K Emergency Information Sheet Exhibit L Notice of Inquiry/IGA Boundary Exhibit M Application Fee no exhibit Investigation Fee no exhibit Use by Special Review Plat Recording Fee no exhibit Drainage Report Exhibit N Traffic Statement Exhibit 0 Flood Hazards Exhibit P Geological Hazards Exhibit Q Dust Abatement Plan Exhibit R Waste Management Plan Exhibit S • • Exhibit A USR Application • • • Exhibit B Plat Map 24" x 36" See map, next page. • • • Exhibit D USR Questionnaire 1.

FEMA personnel said this area of Weld County has not yet been mapped. Weld County(David Bauer) cross referenced the compressor station location with Weld County's floodplain database, which indicated the Sullivan compressor station was not within a mapped floodplain. Additionally, the Weld County Public Works Department indicated the compressor station site was not located within a floodplain in the pre-application meeting on January 28, 2011. • • • Exhibit Q Geological Hazards The Sullivan compressor station site is not within a defined geological hazard area. According to the Geologic Hazard Area Map prepared by The Weld County Department of Planning Services, the nearest geologic hazard area is near the city of Firestone, which is over 40 miles southwest of the proposed compressor location. • Exhibit R Dust Abatement Plan During construction, water trucks will be used to maintain dust suppression. Also, a storm water management plan will be followed to mitigate soil erosion and sediment transport during the construction phase. After construction is complete, the site will be stabilized using native vegetation outside the fenced area. Areas within the fenced boundary will be graveled, as will the access drive. If necessary, a water truck will be used to control dust after construction. • • • Exhibit S Waste Management Plan Waste generation at the Sullivan compressor station will be negligible. Chemicals anticipated on site include: • 100 bbl produced water tanks—2 • 30,000 gal pressurized condensate tanks—2 • 200 gal lube oil tank-1 • 1,000 gal methanol tank— 1 • 80 bbl slop oil tank—1 DCP containerizes all wastes and contracts for its disposal with a government permitted facility(ies). A spill prevention, control, and counter measures (SPCC) plan will be developed to outline appropriate actions in the event of a spill. The plan will be specifically developed for the Sullivan compressor station prior to initiation of start-up activities. It will cover secondary containment requirements, response actions, and waste disposition and disposal in the event • of a spill or release. DCP has detailed policies and procedures in place that will be applied to the specifics of any spill or release resulting from its operations. DCP's SPCC plan will be written in accordance with requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. • Hello
