construction of certain on-site and off-site safety improvements which shall include: construction
of adequate turning radii sixty (60) feet at the site entrance and exit, drainage and signage
installations at the main entrance and exit onto WCR 74, as indicated on the accepted
Construction Plans. The applicant, or its successor, shall construct a right westbound acceleration
lane on County Road 74, when traffic volumes meet the triggers of 50 vehicles per hour (vph)
turning right out of the facility, during the peak hour. The applicant, or its successor, shall
construct a left eastbound deceleration lane on County Road 74 when traffic volumes meet
triggers of 10 vph turning left into the facility, during the peak hour. Granting of any new point
of access may generate additional obligations with the County for Off-Site Improvements and
the need to post additional "Road Maintenance Collateral".
2.0 Road Improvements Responsibilities: Property Owner is solely responsible for all
designated improvements, as specified above in Section A.1.0, on WCR 74, and for any
construction improvements mandated by the Colorado Department of Transportation (hereinafter
"CDOT") and/or the County, and for all expenses associated therewith. These responsibilities
include, but are not limited to the following: design, survey, utility locates, present and future
right-of-way clearances and permits, coordination with oil and gas operators and facilities,
affected railroad facilities and affected irrigation facilities, traffic control, and project safety
during construction. Property Owner shall obey all applicable regulations issued by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (hereinafter "OSHA"), CDOT, Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment, (hereinafter "CDPHE") and other regulatory
agencies.
3.0 Engineering Design and Construction Plans: All engineering designs and
Construction Plans provided by Property Owner shall include, at a minimum, ingress/egress
entrance intersection layouts, existing and proposed grading, drainage designs, storm drainage
pipe sizings and inverts, a cross section of the base/asphalt, approach roads, and adequate turning
radii, and pavement markings. In addition a geotechnical asphalt pavement design to
accommodate heavy truck traffic, prepared by a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in

County Engineer, shall be a part of the Plans, which are a part of this Agreement. All plans
showing work within the State Highway Right-Of-Way shall be reviewed and accepted by the
Colorado Department of Transportation, prior to the start of construction. For all construction in
the County right-of-way, prior to the issuance of any access permit or right-of-way permit, a
construction schedule giving times and locations of all proposed improvements shall be provided
to Public Works for review and acceptance.
4.0 Construction Standards: All construction and materials controls for a project and
any designated improvements shall conform to the requirements in effect at the time of the
completion of the improvements set forth in the "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge

5.0 Traffic Control: Prior to construction in the County and/or State right-of-way and
as a condition of issuance of any access permit or right-of-way permit, the applicant shall submit
a traffic control plan for County review. During construction, signage shall be posted in
accordance with the then current version of the "Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices".
6.0 Off-Site Dust Control/Abatement and/or Paving (If Applicable): County will
determine the proportionate share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property
Owner. The proportional share is based upon the ESAL calculation method to determine the
impacts of traffic volumes created by the Property Owner (or their contractors, clients, tenants,
or customers). The amount and extent of dust control and paving measures will be determined by
site-specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County personnel. In order to
accurately determine percentage of Property Owner haul truck traffic, the County reserves the
right to install traffic counters on the driveway(s) of their facility. The percentage of haul truck
traffic utilizing County roads in the vicinity of the site attributable to Property Owner (or their
contractors, clients, tenants, or customers) activities will be determined by traffic counts
conducted by the County on the primary and requested alternate or revised haul routes. The
County will have sole responsibility for determination of the percentage of truck traffic on all
affected roads.
7.0 Future Improvements: Future improvements to the haul route(s) may be required
by County for reasons related to: changes in site activity or truck circulation patterns and
numbers, roadway classification changes, and newly permitted facilities affecting the haul route
traffic usage. Property Owner shall address all Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
access issues associated with afore-mentioned haul route. Future CDOT or County mandated
measures may include improvements to the intersections of SH 392 and WCR 74, or any other
intersections or roadways then utilized by Property Owner as a result of the establishment of a
new haul route. Property Owner shall pay a proportionate cost share using then current data on
the haul route in the implementation of the above-mentioned improvements. If, at some future
date, the CDOT permit requires auxiliary turn lanes to be constructed on State Highway 392, the
applicant, or its successor, shall pay to CDOT the applicant's proportional share of the auxiliary
turn lanes improvement costs, if required by CDOT. County personnel alone shall make all
determinations regarding the gathering of and use of traffic data when making decisions
regarding cost sharing.
8.0 Timing of Improvements: Property Owner shall not be required to complete the
aforementioned offsite improvements until the occurrence of the triggering event for each
improvement, namely the application for the grading permit or Right-Of-Way access permit
resulting from the commencement of activities on the property(s). At that time, Property Owner
agrees that the required collateral will be posted and all on-site and offsite improvements shall be
completed within the parameters established in Section E.-7.2 and Exhibit B, herein.
9.0 Acceptance of Off-Site Improvements: Upon completion of the off-site
improvements, Marcum Midstream shall contact a representative of the Weld County
Department of Public Works and request an inspection of the off-site improvements described in
Paragraph A.1.0-2.0 above. The County's representatives may then initiate the acceptance
process set forth in Paragraphs E.6.0, Sections 6.1-6.3

improvement, the County does not thereby accept said improvement for
purposes of future maintenance, nor does the County accept any present or
future responsibilities or obligations relative to these improvements.
B. Haul Routes:
1.0 Established Haul Routes:
1.1 Exiting or entering the site: Haul trucks shall enter or exit the site at the
approved access onto WCR 74. No haul route truck traffic is allowed on
WCR 69.
1.2 No haul truck may exceed CDOT required specifications for pounds per
axel.
1.3 In unusual or rare occasions, if particular projects mandate deviation from
the above-mentioned haul route for a limited period of time (which is
defined in the Agreement as a period of not more than thirty days), which
shall be established by County at the time that the deviation is allowed.
Upon receipt of a written request from the Property Owner, if County
approves such deviation, trucks will utilize paved county roads whenever
possible. A deviation from the established Haul route lasting more than
thirty (30) days or requests for two or more deviations within a twelve
month period shall be subject to the terms of Paragraph 4.0 of this Section
B. In the event that haul truck traffic, in excess of 15% of the daily facility
truck trips, utilizes alternate haul routes, the provisions of Paragraph 4.0 of
this Section B shall be triggered.
2.0 Haul Route Signage: Property Owner shall install haul route signs at all exit
points of the Property which can be clearly seen by drivers leaving the facility and which clearly
depict County approved haul routes.
3.0 No Deviation from Permitted Haul Routes: No deviation in the use of any roads
other than those specifically authorized for use in this Agreement is permitted without the prior
written amendment of this Agreement.
4.0 Effect of Future Changes to Haul Routes: In the event that County is requested in
writing by Property Owner or site operator to approve the use of an additional access, new haul
route, or an alternative haul route as a result of a change in Property Owner's site activities
and/or truck circulation patterns, and if the alternative or additional access or haul route utilized
any unpaved portion of County roads, and if County determines that dust control or paving is
required on the unpaved portion of said haul route roads, Property Owner agrees that dust control
or paving measures to protect the public health, safety, and welfare shall be instituted. County
will determine the proportionate share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property

Owner based upon then current truck trip counts that identify traffic loading due to Property
Owner-sourced traffic. The amount and extent of dust control and/or paving measures will be
determined by site-specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County
personnel.
C. Road Maintenance Requirements:
1.0 Obligation to Maintain Current and Future Haul Routes: Property Owner agrees
to excavate, repair, or patch any damage on current or future haul route roads, which in the sole
opinion of County has been created by heavy truck hauling from the Property. Should Property
Owner's site activities and/or should Property Owner's truck circulation patterns change in the
future so that County approves an alternate haul route, and all or a significant portion of Property
Owner's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the above-described haul route and instead utilizes
other portions of County roads, Property Owner shall cooperate with County in maintenance of
said roads. The type and method of repair will be determined by the County Engineer or his
representative, and shall require a written amendment to this Agreement executed by County and
Property Owner. All repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's
written notice.
2.0 Annual Road Inspection: County will conduct a road inspection annually with the
cooperation of Property Owner and all other Property Owners and/or Lessees who are required
by County to participate in road improvement/maintenance agreements. As a result of the annual
inspection, County, in its sole discretion, shall determine actual conditions and shall further
determine what road improvement/maintenance work is to be performed during that construction
season.
3.0 Future Road Replacement: At any time in the future, if, in the opinion of County,
road damage increases beyond the point that repair of damage cannot maintain the road in a safe
and usable condition, Property Owner shall pay a proportionate cost of a complete restoration
based on the number of then current truck trips entering or exiting Property Owner's site onto the
haul route.
4.0 Sharing of Road Maintenance Responsibilities with Other Property Owners: It is
anticipated that Property Owner and other Property Owners and/or Lessees subject to agreements
similar to this Agreement will perform the required road maintenance work and will share in the
equipment, labor, and materials required. Any such sharing arrangement between Property
Owner and other Property Owners and/or Lessees shall be conducted pursuant to separate
agreements between the Property Owner and other Property Owners and/or Lessees. County
shall approve the Agreements only to determine whether the required
improvements/maintenance projects have been adequately addressed. County alone shall
determine the sufficiency of all road improvement/maintenance projects when completed.
5.0 Violation of Terms of Agreement: If Property Owner does not perform as
outlined in this Agreement and Exhibits A and B, such non-performance will constitute a
violation of Property Owner's land use permits granted by County, and County will take
whatever remedial measures it deems necessary against Property Owner. In addition to any
other remedy available to the County in law or equity, a failure to comply with this Agreement
