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 Bernhardt compressor station. Additional USR permit applications will be submitted for the
remaining compressor stations, the gas plant and pipelines.
The Bernhardt compressor station site is located southwest of Greeley, CO in central Weld
County. DCP intends to construct the compressor station between early 2012 and 2013.
Although the site is approximately 160 acres, only about 10 acres are expected to be disturbed
by construction or operation of the Bernhardt compressor station. 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, sewage and drinking water will not be provided. DCP met with Chief Ron Bateman
and Fire Marshal Dan Prather of the Milliken Fire Protection District on May 12, 2011. In the
event of a fire, it is anticipated that water or chemical retardants will be transported to the site.
A Knox override key will be installed to allow fire department access to the facility at all times.
A 20-foot egress around the entire facility will also be located between the fence line and on-
site equipment.
Weld County code stipulates noise levels for industrial or construction sites be below 80 dB(A)
from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00p.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
Bernhardt compressor station.

Weld County Road Access Information
Traffic Control Plan
Although an access road to the Bernhardt compressor station exists, it will be modified to
accommodate larger vehicles that will need to access the site during construction and
operation of the compressor station. DCP intends to use a contractor to widen and extend the
existing access road. Contractors will follow safety recommendations advised by the Weld
County Public Works Department.
Guidelines used by contractors for DCP in the past to ensure the safety of other drivers using
the roadway include:
• Construction on the access road will only occur during the day.
• Appropriate signage will be placed 500 ft. from the construction to warn drivers from
both directions of upcoming construction.
• • As a general guideline, vehicles and equipment will not block county roads. If
equipment is expected to temporarily obstruct traffic, cones will be used to direct traffic
around the obstruction.
The access permit application and photos of the existing access road follow.

•
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 of 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 Bernhardt 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 waste 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
Bernhardt 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.
