Petroleum Corporation
Application for Use by Special Review
1. Description of Proposed Use:
This USR application is referred to as the Hambert Compressor Station 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-Julesberg (DJ) Basin with the vast
majority being located in Weld County, Colorado. All of these wells produce varying
amounts of natural gas that need to be routed to a pipeline through a number of compressor
stations in Weld County.
A compressor station helps the transportation process of natural gas from one location to
another. Natural gas, while being transported through a gas pipeline, needs to be constantly
pressurized in certain distance intervals (from 40 up to 100 miles). The gas in the
compressor station is pressurized by special turbines, motors and engines. A schematic
drawing indicating the flow of gas through the various equipment at a compressor station is
in the Appendix.This application addresses the expansion of one of the existing compressor
• sites owned by Kerr-McGee Gathering in Weld County. Currently, the site, Lot A of RE
4410, is approximately 6.88 acres in area and is located one mile north and east of the
intersection of Weld County Road 38 and Weld County Road 35. It is currently zoned
Agricultural and surrounded by Agricultural zoned properties.
The operation outlined in this application includes an expansion of the land area of the 6.88
acre site as well as an increase in the amount of equipment that is used on site. The applicant
is currently pursuing an amendment to the existing Recorded Exemption to allow for the
acquisition of an additional 14.82 acres of land. The site expansion will then be able to
accommodate additional equipment. The existing equipment includes:
• Gas Compressor Building
• 4 Buildings
• Air compressors
• Vessels and tanks
• Receiving and Launching facilities
• Emergency generators
• Communications Poles and receiver stations
The proposed equipment includes:
• Small warehouse
• 2 small personal stations
• Generators
•

corpo umn
• • Separators
• Discharge area
• 6 compressors
• 50' Wireless tower and associated shelter
Please see the Site Plan in the Appendix for a more detailed layout of existing and proposed
equipment.
The compressors on site operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. However,
the station will automatically adjust to run only those engine-compressor sets needed to
handle the volume of gas flowing through the pipeline.
The access road for this compressor site is existing off of County maintained WCR 35
through a 33 foot shared access leasehold with the adjacent property owner to the east. This
access will remain as existing.

2. Consistency with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the
Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and policies for agriculturally zoned
properties, oil and gas deposits, as well as environmental pollutants that the compressor site
may emit. Goal 6 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the division of land in agricultural
areas to support the continuation of agricultural production. Through the recorded exemption
process Lot A was created to allow for the initial construction of the Hambert Compressor
Site. This allowed over 146 acres of the Berig's property to remain as agricultural land. The
• new Recorded Exemption process that the applicant is pursuing will still leave over 130 acres
Hambert Compressor Stationada/ 1 6
AmUSR-355 - Weld County SELINE
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Petroleum corpora on
• of land for agricultural use. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan 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 minimize the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding
land uses. The proposed expansion of the Compressor Site conserves land by eliminating
the need for an additional separate compressor site elsewhere in Weld County.
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 a Compressor Site require the
approval of a Use by Special Review Permit.
4. Surrounding Uses and Compatibility with surrounding uses.
The Hambert Compressor Station is surrounded by five separate large farms with the closest
residences over one-half mile away.
5. Describe the following:
a. Number of people who will use this site
. There are no permanent employees on this site. The site is visited by an Anadarko
employee on a daily basis. The employee is typically not on site for longer than one to
• two hours at a time. Given the short amount of time an employee is on site, Anadarko
believes that a permanent water and sewer service is not necessary. The site is 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 are no full time employees employed at the Hambert Station presently nor are any
planned to be based out of the Hambert Station with the proposed expansion.
c. Hours of operation
The compressors on site run 24 hours a day 7 days a week based on demand. Trucks
usually will only come to the site during the hours of 8 am -5 pm unless there is an
emergency.
d. Type and number of structures to be built on this site
Following are photos of the existing equipment at the Hambert Compressor Station. Also
included is a photo of the proposed wireless tower and shelter. Please see the Site Plan in
the Appendix for a more detailed layout of all existing and proposed buildings.

e. Type and number of animals
There are no animals on site.
f Kind of vehicles that will access this site and how often
An Anadarko employee visits the site once each day. Trucks come on to the site for
repair and maintenance purposes on a periodic basis.
g. Fire Protection
The Platteville/Gilcrest Fire Protection District provides fire protection to this area.
A referral packet will be sent to the District by the County. Once an approval letter is
received it will be placed in the Appendix.
h. Water source on the property
There are no full time employees on site. A Kerr McGee employee will visit the site
on a daily basis. Due to the lack of employees permanently on site, a water
connection is not necessary. Should the status of employees on site change, water
would be requested from Central Weld County Water District or obtained from a new
well on site as appropriate.
L Sewage disposal system
There is no need for a sewer disposal system. Employees will have access to use the
port-o-let just outside the main gate at the Hambert Compression Station. This
facility is currently and will continue to be serviced by Waste Management for waste
•

removal. A small dumpster and port-o-let are just
• outside the gated portion of the site. See photo.
Should a water source later be required, there appears a "'
to be ample space on the lot to provide for a ISDS for
sewage disposal.
j. Storage or warehousing
There will be a small storage building on site that will store small equipment
associated with the compressors. There is no outdoor storage therefore screening is
not necessary.
6. Proposed Landscaping
There is no existing screening and no additional landscaping is being proposed with this
application. The nearest residence is over 1/2 mile away.
7. Reclamation procedures
Should the Compressor Site 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 site is relatively flat and will be surfaced with gravel or native grasses. Based on the
• negligible increase of storm runoff associated with the proposed improvements a storm water
drainage plan has not been requested by the County. Please refer to the drainage memo in
the appendix for a summary of the existing and proposed drainage conditions.
9. Construction period
Expansion of the existing Hambert Station is anticipated to commence upon approval of this
requested USR-sometime in early 2011 .
10. Waste Handling Plan
The following wastes are expected to be generated on site.
PRODUCT NAME Quantity
AEON 4000 Air Compressor Oil 15 gal
Ambitrol FL 50 Coolant Engine Coolant 500 gal
Mobil Pegasus 805 Engine Oil 500 gal
Used Oily water / Used Oil / Used Ambitrol Per Month 200 gal

AmUSR-355 — Weld County
Petroleum Corporation B A SELINE
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. corporation
• See separate Waste Handling Plan in appendix with more detail.
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 add other,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 at this site will require a larger "dump" line to send petroleum
products to treatment sites. The proposed line is expected to be a 12" diameter steel line.
Please refer to the plan set for the approximate alignment. Due to ongoing negotiations with
land owners for pipeline ROW as well as another USR application (soon to be approved)
being processed in tandem with this application, the alignment has not been 100% finalized.
Notification Requirements

equipment will result in negligible increases in noise emissions. Additionally, the rural nature
of these sites are 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. No waste water 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. There is an existing pole light near the gate as well. A few yard lights are also
proposed. Lighting is for nighttime emergency work only.
Any source of lighting on the site shall be shielded so that light rays 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 compressor 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.

• Traffic
The proposed project will obtain access off WCR 35 about 1'/ mile south of WCR 40. There
presently is a large oil and gas processing facility on the west side of WCR 35 near where the
access road to the Hambert Compressor site originates. WCR 35 is currently utilized
primarily by trucks going to and from the processing facility, farm vehicles, and area
residents.
No traffic data was available from the Weld County Public Works Department for WCR 35.
The proposed expansion to the compressor station will not increase area traffic from the
current traffic that accesses the site.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the existing utilization of WCR 35 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.
Fire & Emergency Response
• There is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the county.
All roads leading to and those in the storage area will be designed and maintained to support
fire apparatus. A turnaround may be constructed as necessary to accommodate fire apparatus.
In addition to the above-referenced rules and regulations, Anandarko 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.

Kerr-McGee Gathering LLC Waste Handling Plan
Hambert Compressor Station March 21, 2011
•
Purpose
The purpose of this Waste Handling Plan (Plan) is to project the quantities and
types of waste that will be generated through operation of the Hambert
Compressor Station (Facility) and to detail the management and disposition of
this waste. The Plan will further outline the operational chemicals that will be
stored on-site and may require future disposal.
Objective
The objective of this Plan is to ensure waste generated at the Facility is managed
in accordance with all Local, State and Federal regulations. Additionally, the
Plan will identify operational chemicals used or stored on site requiring specific
disposal pathways. Kerr-McGee personnel are trained annually with regards to
proper Waste Management practices.
Chemicals Stored On Site
The following materials will be stored at the Facility to support operations, and
have specific disposal requirements:
• • 1 - 500 gallon tank containing Pegasus 805 engine oil (in secondary
containment).
• 2 - 500 gallon tanks containing engine coolant (in secondary containment).
• 1 - 50 gallon drum containing solvent.
• 2 — 250 barrel and 2 — 200 barrel horizontal tanks containing condensate
(in secondary containment). The only tank generally used is one 200
barrel tank.
• 1 - 300 barrel tank used for coolant (in secondary containment). This has
been empty for the last three years.
• 1 — dumpster for municipal waste (located outside gate).
• 1 - Port-O-Let
Waste Disposition
All liquids are managed and disposed/re-cycled by Mesa Oil. The municipal
waste dumpster and Port-O-Let are managed and disposed of by Waste
Management. The dumpster is emptied either weekly or every two weeks. The
Port-O-Let is emptied on a weekly basis.
Non-routine waste (e.g. spills or releases) will be managed in accordance with
• Kerr-McGee's Emergency Response and Oil Spill Contingency Plan. Spills, as
Page 1

appropriate, will be reported to the proper regulatory agency(s). Additionally, a
site-specific Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan has
been 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.

minimum, this information includes yet is not limited to the dimensions of all new
• structures not currently on site.
The site plan now includes two additional sheets-one showing all existing equipment the other
showing all proposed equipment with the existing equipment lightly shaded on the sheet.
Dimensions available at this time are approximate and can only be finalized when the
equipment is purchased. We respectfully request that the County allow this application to
identify approx. dimensions that will be able to be reflected and finalized on the plans submitted
for building permit issuance.
Also, provide discussion narrative on how the plant operates. There are piping
components proposed, Suction and Discharge lines, yet no narrative comment on from
and to where materials are transported.
A schematic sheet diagramming the flow of gas into, through and out of the compressor station
is attached. A brief paragraph has been added to the narrative.
Should there be abbreviations to equipment in callout, please provide additional
information in the narrative materials and tabular format in narrative and /or on drawing
Sheet. Ideally the equipment list of proposed and existing equipment is delineated on
the same sheet, this information for reference is most beneficial for all referral agencies.
A table has been added to the site plan sheet containing the equipment needing to be defined.
The proposed wireless tower requires a height call out, dimension and narrative
materials describing the proposed equipment.
The height and dimensions of the wireless tower have been added to the site plan sheets. A
description of the equipments purpose was added to the narrative.
• Will all new structures be on a foundation? Please provide additional comment on the
workings of the existing facility and the proposed expansion, including the rationale for
the expansion.
The proposed compressor units do not require a foundation. Foundation and anchoring
requirements will be identified during the building permit review process. Proper anchoring
techniques will be utilized in the placement of all new facilities. The expansion is needed due to
the increase in gas production in the field. The current equipment is at capacity and new
equipment is needed to properly handle and process the gas coming into the compressor
station.
There is a temporary easement located North of Lot A, RE-4410. Please provide narrative
on the use of this easement and why it is a temporary easement, for the benefit of Kerr-
McGee as successor, Reception number 256670. Please provide additional comment and
requisite evidence that new and existing structures may be placed over the fifty (50) foot
right-of-way, Reception number 1899834.
The temporary easement located North of Lot A (Rec. 256670) expired on or around 2002.
Please see the attached reference to this easement. The other easement in question (1899834)
does not have any proposed facilities within it.
Please provide a hierarchy of line weights, existing structures may use a finer line weight
whereas the proposed new structures may use texture, tone or in a thicker line weight.
Given the uniform line weight and uniform callout of equipment it is difficult to fully
assess the proposed from the existing.
•
Pagel 3
Response letter to Weld County FINAL 2.2.11
The plan set has been modified to make the existing and proposed facilities more clear. In
•
addition there are multiple sheets showing only existing equipment and only proposed
equipment and then both existing and proposed together.
Will the service yard be graveled or in native grasses, reseeded post construction.
Please clarify in narrative materials.
Presently the service yard is a mix of gravel on the access roads and native grasses in and
around the equipment. The same will be true for the expansion. Other than where access
roads are proposed, the entire site will be native grasses and reseeded post construction.
As a general comment, the "General Notes" section of the sheet are not applicable to the
preparation of the Special Use Plat and staff will request this information be deleted from
the drawing.
The general notes section has been removed and any new notes requested by County staff will
be added.
The Department of Building Inspection will require building permits prior to construction
of all temporary and permanent facilities.
Anadarko understands that building permits are required prior to any construction on site.
The Department of Environmental Health has the following comments: As this is a
permanent use and there will be at least one employee on site every day permanent
water and sewer is required according to department policy. It is up to the applicant to
present to the Boards why they should not have permanent sanitary facilities.
Environmental Health would like to see a waste plan for employee trash and a dust
• control plan. Evidence of an APEN from the State is also requested.
There are no permanent employees on this site. One Anadarko employee visits the site on a
daily basis and is typically not on site for more than one to two hours. There is currently and will
continue to be a port-o-let on site along with a dumpster for waste. The site is periodically
watered down if dust appears to be an issue. Baseline will present to the Boards that because
there are no permanent employees on site, there is no need to connect the compressor station
to water and sewer services.
The Department of Public Works in their referral dated December 28, 2010 has the
following comments; Weld County Public Works has received the submittal application
for the 7-Day Completeness Review. Public Works shall be looking for five critical items:
➢ Site Plan —Submitted
➢ Traffic Study - Not Required- A traffic estimate has been submitted and will be
reviewed.
➢ Preliminary Drainage Report - Not Required - Please expand your drainage
discussion to address the following questions.
No Drainage Report is required; however, the applicant shall provide a short
description of the historic stormwater flows across the property and how their
application will affect those flows. The description shall include but not be limited
to:
• where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an offsite
source,
• • where it flows to as it leaves the property,
Pagel 4
Response letter to Weld County FINAL 2.2.11
• the direction of flow across the property, and
.
• if there have been previous drainage problems with the property.
➢ Geotechnical Soils Report- Not Required
➢ Flood Hazard Development Standards—Not in a FEMA Floodplain.
A short description of the historic storm water flows across the property and how their application
will affect those flows is attached.
Also, please submit the Special Use Permit application fee, 2500.00 dollars, with the
submittal of the requested materials.
Baseline will coordinate the provision of the application fee at time of submittal. Payment by
Anadarko thru a credit card payment will be utilized.

Application for Use by Special Review
1. Description of Proposed Use:
This USR application is referred to as the Hambert Compressor Station 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-Julesberg (DJ) Basin with the vast
majority being located in Weld County, Colorado. All of these wells produce varying
amounts of natural gas that need to be routed to a pipeline through a number of compressor
stations in Weld County.
A compressor station helps the transportation process of natural gas from one location to
another. Natural gas, while being transported through a gas pipeline, needs to be constantly
pressurized in certain distance intervals (from 40 up to 100 miles). The gas in the compressor
station is pressurized by special turbines, motors and engines. A schematic drawing
indicating the flow of gas through the various equipment at a compressor station is in the
Appendix. This application addresses the expansion of one of the existing compressor sites
owned by Kerr-McGee Gathering in Weld County. Currently, the site, Lot A of RE 4410, is
• approximately 6.88 acres in area and is located one mile north and east of the intersection of
Weld County Road 38 and Weld County Road 35. It is currently zoned Agricultural (A) and
surrounded by Agricultural zoned properties.
The operation outlined in this application includes an expansion of the land area of the 6.88
acre site as well as an increase in the amount of equipment that is used on site. The applicant
is currently pursuing an amendment to the existing Recorded Exemption to allow for the
acquisition of an additional 14.82 acres of land. The site expansion ( now 21.7 acres) will
then be able to accommodate additional equipment. The existing equipment includes:
• Gas Compressor Building
• 4 Buildings
• Air compressors
• Vessels and tanks
• Receiving and Launching facilities
• Emergency generators
• Communications Poles and receiver stations
The proposed equipment includes:
• Small warehouse
• 2 small personal stations
• Generators
• Hambert Compressor Station �] 5
USR—Weld County, Colorado Anadarl� �' SELINE
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Petroleum Corporation
• Separators
•
• Discharge area
• 6 compressors
• 50' Wireless tower and associated shelter
Please see the Site Plan in the Appendix for a more detailed layout of existing and proposed
equipment.
The compressors on site operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. However,
the station will automatically adjust to run only those engine-compressor sets needed to
handle the volume of gas flowing through the pipeline.
The access road for this compressor site is existing off of County maintained WCR 35
through a 33 foot shared access leasehold with the adjacent property owner to the east. This
access will remain as it currently exists.

2. Consistency with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the
Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and policies for agriculturally zoned
properties, oil and gas deposits, as well as environmental pollutants that the compressor site
may emit. Goal 6 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the division of land in agricultural
areas to support the continuation of agricultural production. Through the recorded exemption
process Lot A was created to allow for the initial construction of the Hambert Compressor
Site. This allowed over 146 acres of the Berig's property to remain as agricultural land. The
new Recorded Exemption process that the applicant is pursuing will still leave over 130 acres
Hambert Compressor Station Allada �] 6
USR—Weld County,Colorado L' SELINE
Petroleum Corporation
Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
of land for agricultural use. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan addresses the presence of oil
•
and gas deposits in the County and encourages the extraction of oil and gas resources that
conserve the agricultural uses on land and minimize the impact on surrounding land and the
existing surrounding land uses. The proposed expansion of the Compressor Site conserves
land by eliminating the need for an additional separate compressor site elsewhere in Weld
County.
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 a Compressor Site require the
approval of a Use by Special Review Permit in Weld County.
4. Surrounding Uses and Compatibility with surrounding uses.
The Hambert Compressor Station is surrounded by five separate large farms with the closest
residence over one-half mile away.
5. Describe the following:
a. Number of people who will use this site
There are no permanent employees on this site. The site is visited by an Anadarko
• employee on a daily basis. The employee is typically not on site for longer than one to
two hours at a time. Given the short amount of time an employee is on site, Anadarko
believes that a permanent water and sewer service is not necessary. The site is 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 are no full time employees employed at the Hambert Station presently nor are any
planned to be based out of the Hambert Station with the proposed expansion.
c. Hours of operation
The compressors on site run 24 hours a day 7 days a week based on demand. Trucks
usually will only come to the site during the hours of 8 am -5 pm unless there is an
emergency. Video surveillance is also on site and connected to the company computer
system.
d. Type and number of structures to be built on this site
Following are photos of the existing equipment at the Hambert Compressor Station. Also
included is a photo of the proposed wireless tower and shelter. Please see the Site Plan in
the Appendix for a more detailed layout of all existing and proposed buildings.

f. Kind of vehicles that will access this site and how often
An Anadarko employee visits the site once each day. Trucks come on to the site for
repair and maintenance purposes on a periodic basis.
g. Fire Protection
The Platteville/Gilcrest Fire Protection District provides fire protection to this area.
A referral packet will be sent to the District by the County. Once an approval letter is
received it will be placed in the Appendix.
h. Water source on the property
There are no full time employees on site. A Kerr McGee employee will visit the site
on a daily basis. Due to the lack of employees permanently on site, a water

j. Storage or warehousing _! r • �r
There will be a small storage building on site that �k�---` '
will store small equipment associated with the compressors.
6. Proposed Landscaping
There is no existing screening and no additional landscaping is being proposed with this
application. The nearest residence is over V2 mile away.
7. Reclamation procedures
Should the Compressor Site 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 site is relatively flat and will be surfaced with gravel or native grasses. Based on the
negligible increase of storm runoff associated with the proposed improvements a storm water
drainage plan has not been requested by the County. Please refer to the drainage memo in
• summary of the existing and proposed drainage conditions.

9. Construction period
Expansion of the existing Hambert Station is anticipated to commence upon approval of this
requested USR-sometime in early 2011 .
10. Waste Storage
No waste will be stored on site. All waste is either piped out of the site or removed by truck.
The expanded capacity at this site will require a larger "dump" line to send petroleum
products to treatment sites. The proposed line is expected to be a 12" diameter steel line.
Please refer to the plan set for the approximate alignment. Due to ongoing negotiations with
land owners for pipeline ROW, the alignment has not been finalized.

Operation Standards
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PLAN:
NOISE CONTROL:
The operation of the Compressor Station shall comply with the noise standards enumerated
in Section 802 of the COGCC Amended Rules 2008.
Noise is emitted from the Compressor sites. It is anticipated that the addition of the proposed
equipment will result in negligible increases in noise emissions. Additionally, the rural nature
of these sites by being quite a way from residential uses generally mitigates 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. No waste water 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. There is an existing pole light near the gate as well.
Any source of lighting on the site shall be shielded so that light rays 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 compressor 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.

• Traffic
The proposed project will obtain access off WCR 35 about 1'/ mile south of WCR 40. There
presently is a large oil and gas processing facility on the west side of WCR 35 near where the
access road to the Hambert Compressor site originates. WCR 35 is currently utilized
primarily by trucks going to and from the processing facility, farm vehicles, and area
residents.
No traffic data was available from the Weld County Public Works Department for WCR 35.
The proposed expansion to the compressor station will not increase area traffic from the
current traffic that accesses the site.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the existing utilization of WCR 35 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.
Fire & Emergency Response
• There is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the county.
All roads leading to and those in the storage area will be designed and maintained to support
fire apparatus. A turnaround may be constructed as necessary to accommodate fire apparatus.
In addition to the above-referenced rules and regulations, Anandarko 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.
CONCLUSION: Based on submittal of this application and responses to the Weld County
regulations for this facility, Anadarko respectfully requests an APPROVAL from Weld
County on this USR application. Anadarko has other sites with similar needs to upgrade and
desires to continue with processing those applications in an expeditious manner as well.

Re: Hambert USR—General Drainage Overview
Introduction/Overview
This memo is intended to serve as the site drainage overview requested by the Public Works
• Department for the above referenced project.
Baseline is processing a USR application and Amended Recorded Exemption for Lots A and B of RE-
4410. Currently, Lot A consists of a compressor site for the Kerr McGee/Anadarko gas gathering
system. Additional demand on the system has required the upgrading of several compressor sites,
including this one. Lot A will be expanded under the Amended RE application to enlarge the lot in order
to allow for proposed and future equipment to be within the Lot A boundary. No on site storm water
detention or water quality facilities exist or are proposed in this application.
Existing Site Description
The existing site is situated near the center of Section 36, T4N, R66W, of the 6th P.M. The surrounding
land consists primarily of various forms of agricultural land. Some of this land appears to be irrigated
while other areas appear to be dry land or range lands. The surrounding geomorphology consists of
rolling hills that generally slope toward the northwest at approximately 0.1%. Downhill from the existing
site, two large drainage canals run through the north half of the section from WCR 35 toward the east
where WCR 40 begins to parallel one of the ditches as it heads northeast, near the northeast corner of
the section. The southerly of these canals (Platte Valley Canal) appears to have embankments that
have been built up over time. The embankment creates a drainage barrier and forces water to pond
and flow to the west to where these flows can finally run into the canal.
The existing site has minimal impervious surfaces consisting of one compressor building, several small
storage shed sized buildings, and several tanks. The site has gravel roads to accommodate access
and the balance of the site consists of native grasses and plants. There are two small steel culverts on
site that allow storm water flow to run under the existing access roads at locations where onsite and
offsite flows accumulate.
• There appears to be two areas where offsite flows enter the site from uphill. These are near the
existing access gate and on the east end of Lot A. At the access gate, the offsite flows are allowed to
1
, .
flow unimpeded through the southwest corner of the site. At the east end of the site, a small swale has
been graded along the property/fence line to convey flows to the north. Inside Lot A, on the east side,
• the site is also graded to provide a shallow swale that appears to allow for offsite water to drain through
the site.
No apparent drainage issues were discovered during our site visit.
Proposed Site Description
Under proposed conditions the majority of the site will remain unchanged. The site will be expanded to
the east to allow for several new compressor units to be installed. The site grading will be minimal to
allow for vehicular access across the site and for relatively flat compressor pads. This site disturbance
will likely eliminate the drainage swale that exists along the east lot line. The proposed site plan
recommends additional culverts be provided on site to allow for frequent event flows to be conveyed
under the gravel access roads in locations where they might accumulate. Based on the apparent
success of the existing steel culverts in meeting the needs of the owner, we have been advised that
they will elect to provide similar culverts in the expanded site areas. Therefore, no additional culvert
sizing or analysis has been provided.
The proposed improvements include several new compressor units that will create a negligible amount
of impervious area. These surfaces will drain onto the adjacent gravel roads and then filter through the
adjacent native seeded surfaces before leaving the site.
Conclusion
The existing and proposed site conditions have been considered as they relate to storm water
drainage and offsite flows. It has been determined that drainage culverts may be desirable to keep
access roads from being overtopped during frequent storm events. Additionally, the overall drainage
• patterns will be unaffected by the proposed expansion.
