Re: Addendum to Geotechnical Engineering Report
Pump House&Separator Facility
Terracon Project No.21085016
This letter is intended as an addendum to our original "Geotechnical Engineering Report"for the
above referenced project. The purpose of this addendum is to outline revised mat foundation
recommendations.
On page 5 of our original Geotechnical Engineering Report (Terracon Project No. 21085016,
dated April 24, 2008) a modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pounds per cubic inch was
recommended for design of mat foundations.
Based on further analysis of a mat foundation with the anticipated loads and existing soil
conditions encountered, Terracon recommends that a modulus of subgrade reaction of 25
•
pounds per cubic foot be used for the structural design of the mat foundation.
The recommendations outlined in this letter are intended to be utilized in conjunction with the
recommendations outlined in our original report. If you have any questions or if you require
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. N NNN"NNN

1.0 INTRODUCTION
High Plains Disposal (High Plains) is applying for a Use by Special Request (USR)
permit from the Weld County Department of Planning (Weld County) for the High
Plains Disposal Weld Site #1 Class II Waste Water Disposal Facility located
southwest of the intersection of Weld County Roads (WCR) 49 and 54 in Kersey,
Weld County, Colorado (see Appendix A, Figure 1). The facility is geographically
located in the northeast Y of the northwest ' of Section 25, Township 5 North,
Range 65 West of the 6th Principle Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. Construction of
the facility is schedule to begin in April 2009. Spill containment and other additional
controls are expected to be required as part of the USR approval.
Weld County has indicated that one of the requirements of the USR will be
development of a groundwater monitoring program at the facility to assess the
shallow unconfined aquifer for potential releases from the facility. The first phase of
the groundwater monitoring program is the development of this Groundwater
Monitoring Plan, which will be provided for public review and comment. Following
discussion and resolution of comments with Weld County, the Groundwater
Monitoring Plan will be finalized and implemented.
2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The general facility layout is shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A. The High Plains
Disposal Weld Site #1 receives, stores, and processes Class II waste water from oil
and gas exploration and production (E&P). Recovered oil and condensates are
stored and shipped to other facilities for further processing. After oil-water
separation, processed water (brine) is re-injected into the facility's Class II injection
well.
Groundwater Monitoring Plan
High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 Kersey, Colorado
Terracon Project No. 20097021
April 2009
2.1 Process Description
E&P waste water will arrive at the facility in tanker trucks, each of which will check in
at the office prior to unloading. The tanker truck will pull into the unloading
containment area and park to prepare for inspection and unloading. The facility
attendant will visually inspect a sample of the tanker's load to assess if the load is
acceptable as a Class II Waste (per COGCC regulation) prior to allowing the tanker
to unload into the waste processing and disposal system. If a load is not acceptable
to enter the system it will be rejected and unloading will not be allowed.
Upon approval by the facility attendant, the tanker truck will unload by gravity feed
into the receiving pit which will be a 9 feet deep by 61 feet long by 20 feet wide
coated-concrete structure. A skimmer will remove oils from the fluids in the pit and
receovered oils will be pumped to one of two 750-barrel (BBL) oil/condensate tanks.
The waste water is then pumped to one of two 600 BBL "gun barrel" separators,
where the aqueous and hydrocarbon phases are separated. The processed waste
water is then gravity-fed to six 750 BBL water holding tanks, and the hydrocarbon
liquids are gravity-fed to one of the two 750 BBL oil/condensate tanks. The
processed waste water is filtered and disposed by underground injection into the
facility's Class II underground injection well, which has been permitted in accordance
with COGCC regulations. The transfer piping will be underground.
Recovered oil and condensate will be sold to a third party. Tanker truck loading of oil
and condensate will occur in the loading containment area. Tanker trucks will park
inside the loading containment area and connect directly to one of the condensate
tanks for loading.
Pre-injection filtration wastes will be periodically removed as needed. Solids and
sludges that accumulate in the receiving pit and water tanks will be cleaned out on an
as-needed basis, currently expected to be semiannually or annually. When clean-out
occurs, the pit or tank to be cleaned will be pumped down to allow for a third-party
contract to enter and manually clean out accumulated solids and sludges with a
vacuum truck. Sludges and filtration wastes will not be not dried or disposed of on-
site. These waste materials will be removed on an as-needed basis and taken off-
site for disposal.
According to COGCC records, the facility's injection well is permitted as COGCC well
"HPD Kersey 1" and was permitted for proposed injection into the Lyons Formation
2
Groundwater Monitoring Plan
High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 Kersey, Colorado

April 2009
approximately 10,500 feet below ground surface (bgs). COGCC records have not
been updated to reflect the 2009 completion and integrity testing of the well.
A designated High Plains operator will be on site during operation of the processing
facility including offloading, liquid transfers, loading, and injection. The facility
expects to a daily throughput of up to 10,000 BBL of waste water per day. The
facility anticipates operating 365 days a year.

will be contained using concrete sloped inward toward the steel-and concrete
unloading pit.
A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan is currently being
prepared to help manage potential spills and releases from the facility. The SPCC
Plan will include regular facility inspection procedures to aid in discovery,
assessment, and cleanup of a spill, if one occurs. In addition, the SPCC Plan will
include preventative measures to help reduce the potential of spill occurring.
3.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING WELL INSTALLATION
Proposed locations for installing groundwater monitoring wells at the site are shown
on Figure 3 in Appendix A. Well locations are proposed based on the estimated
regional topographic conditions and major surface water locations, which suggest a
shallow hydrogeological gradient is to the north-northwest at the facility. A total of
three wells have been selected in the presumed downgradient direction of major
facility operations and storage. No wells are currently proposed upgradient (i.e.,
representing "background" or incoming conditions) of major facility operations or
storage. In the event that groundwater flow varies significantly from the direction
presumed based on topography, or if there is a need to evaluate upgradient
conditions, additional wells may need to be installed.
3.1 Preparation for Drilling
At least 72 hours prior to drilling, Terracon will contact the local utility marking service
to clear proposed drilling locations. Also at least 72 hours prior to drilling, Terracon
will submit groundwater monitoring well permit applications to the Colorado Division
of Water Resources (DWR).
3.2 Drilling and Well Installation
Monitoring well installation will be performed in general accordance with applicable
rules and regulations described in DWR's well installation rules and regulations
section of the Code of Colorado Regulations (CCR), 2 CCR 402-2. For each well,
Terracon will use a hollow-stem auger to advance a soil boring to the shallow
groundwater table or a maximum depth of 30 feet bgs. Soil samples will be collected
from the boring using a split spoon sampler at approximate five-foot intervals to the
top of the saturated zone. Lithology of subsurface soils observed during drilling will
4
Groundwater Monitoring Plan
High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 Kersey, Colorado
Terracon Project No. 20097021
April 2009
be logged in the field. Soil samples will be screened in the field for evidence of
contamination by visual and olfactory examination and by measurement of volatile
headspace using a photoionization device (PID).
Each soil boring will be completed as a permanent 2-inch groundwater monitoring
well as follows:
• Installation of 10 or more feet of 2-inch diameter 0.010-inch machine slotted PVC
well screen with a threaded bottom cap;
• Installation of 2-inch diameter threaded, flush-joint PVC riser pipe to
approximately 3 to 4 feet above the surface;
• Addition of pre-sieved 20/40 grade silica sand for annular sand pack around the
well screen from the bottom of the boring to approximately 2 feet above the top of
the well screen;
• Placement of 2 feet of hydrated bentonite pellets above the sand pack;
• Addition of cement/bentonite slurry to the surface; and,
• Installation of metal stick-up casing. Locking caps will be installed on each well.
A typical groundwater monitoring well completion diagram is included as Figure 4 in
Appendix A.
Terracon personnel will return 2 to 3 days after installation to develop the wells using
a surge block device and disposable bailing device. Wells will be developed by
removing approximately five well volumes of groundwater. Well elevations will be
measured relative to an arbitrary datum using a rod and level.
Drilling equipment used will be cleaned using a high-pressure washer prior to
beginning the project and before beginning each boring. Non-dedicated sampling
equipment will be cleaned using an Alconox® detergent wash and potable water
rinse prior to commencement of the project and between collection of each sample.
Soil cuttings will be scattered unless there is field evidence of contamination, in which
case the cuttings will be containerized onsite. Purge and development water will be
containerized onsite.

April 2009
4.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING
Quarterly groundwater monitoring will be conducted during the first 2 years. If there
is no evidence of groundwater impacts after 2 years, High Plains will request to have
the monitoring frequency reduced to semiannual.
4.1 Sampling Method
During each round of sampling, depths to groundwater will be measured. A minimum
of three well volumes will be purged from each well using a disposable bailing device,
and in situ temperature, pH, and conductivity will be measured and recorded during
the purge process. Following purging, a groundwater sample will be collected using
a disposable bailing device and will placed in laboratory-supplied, pre-cleaned
sample containers.
Samples will be preserved in a cooler on ice. Following completion of sampling, the
samples will be submitted to a qualified analytical laboratory under chain of custody
protocol.
4.2 Laboratory Analysis
COGCC adopted final amended regulations in April 2009 regarding allowable soil and
groundwater contamination (COGCC Regulation 908, Table 910-1). For groundwater
monitoring purposes, groundwater samples from the site will be analyzed for the
parameters listed in COGCC Table 910-1. These parameters and the associated
laboratory methods are shown below.

Terracon Project No. 20097021
April 2009
4.3 Statistical Analysis
Groundwater analytical results will be evaluated statistically. A descriptive statistical
analysis (number of data points, number of non-detectable data points, mean,
maximum, minimum, standard deviation, and description of outliers) will be performed
for each sample set. The trend analyses will be performed using the Mann-Kendall
test and Sen's slope estimator. Using the Mann-Kendall test, a trend is significant at
a 95% confidence level (two-tailed) if the absolute value of the Mann-Kendall statistic
is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the critical value. A minimum of 7
rounds of data will be required to assess the accurately the analysis trends.
If a statistically significant increase in concentrations of one or more target analytes is
observed, the release reporting procedures discussed in Section 5.0 will be followed.
4.4 Reporting
A summary groundwater monitoring report will be prepared and issued within 60 days
of each sampling event. The report will provide a summary of sampling activities,
tables with groundwater elevations and laboratory results, and figures including a
groundwater piezometric map. Weld County will be provided with a copy of each
quarterly report within 60 days of the sampling.
5.0 RELEASE RESPONSE ACTIONS
If groundwater monitoring and assessment indicates a potential release from the
facility, High Plains will notify Weld County within 24 hours of completing the
statistical analysis of final laboratory analytical results. If the statistical analysis
indicates a potential impact to groundwater by Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
Waste (E&P Waste) and Produced Fluids (as defined by CDPHE's "Reporting
Environmental Releases In Colorado" guidance document dated January 2009), High
Plains will also report the release to COGCC and CDPHE within 24 hours of receiving
the statistical analysis of final laboratory analytical results. High Plains will
coordinate with these agencies to assess the site issues and potential release. This
plan may be updated to reflect response actions if required.

Re: Air Pollutant Emission Notice
High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1
Kersey, Colorado
Terracon Project No. 20097021
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of High Plains Disposal, Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) has prepared the
attached Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN) and supporting information regarding air
emission estimates for the High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 located in Kersey, Colorado.
Terracon understands that volatile organic compound (VOC) mass emission rates in
excess of five tons per year will require an Air Permit, issued by the Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment Air Pollution Control Division (APCD). Mr. Andy
Cunningham of High Plains Disposal, shall be listed as the legal authorized person for the
APEN and the Air Permit for this facility.
FACILITY INFORMATION
The High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 (Facility) is located southwest of the intersection of
Weld County Roads (WCR) 49 and 54 near the Town of Kersey and is geographically
situated in the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 25, Township 5
North, Range 65 West of the 6th Principle Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The Facility
receives waste water from oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), processes the
waste water, and disposes of processed water via its Class II injection well. As part of the
disposal process, the facility separates waste water (brine) from crude oil
hydrocarbons/condensate (product). Separated brine (Class II waste) is then injected into
the Lyons formation through the HPD Kersey I wellbore, and the recovered product is
stored onsite in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) for subsequent sale. The facility has
been permitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Colorado Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission (COGCC) and is scheduled for construction in 2009.
The proposed waste water treatment system consists of a covered unloading area,
receiving pit, two "gun barrel" separator tanks, six post-process water storage tanks, two
product tanks, a pump house, an injection well, and other associated processing
equipment. Tanks, pumps, and associated process equipment are connected by carbon
steel piping, valves, and other connections.. The injection pumps, transfer pumps, and
other mechanical equipment at the Facility are powered by electricity. Attachment 1
contains figures showing site layout, process areas, and storage tanks.

The Facility has a projected maximum throughput of 10,000 barrels (bbls) per day. The
average crude/condensate product volume in the received liquids to the waste water
treatment system is expected to be approximately 2% to 3% by volume. The Facility will
operate 365 days per year and will start operations in 2009.
EMISSION COMPONENTS
Emission related equipment for the facility consists of ASTs and separator equipment.
Facility ASTs are summarized in the following table.
ID No. Name Size
(BBL)
T-1P Product 750
T-2P Product 750
T-1S Separator 600
T-2S Separator 600
T-1W Water 750
T-2W Water 750
T-3W Water 750
T-4W Water 750
Additional information is provided on Tables 1 and 2 in Attachment 2.
Emission related processes for the Facility consists of"load in" of E&P waste water (Class
II waste) and "load out" of product.
Estimated VOC Emissions
Terracon has estimated annual VOC emissions from the ASTs and the load in/load out
processes. The following paragraphs review the basis and assumptions for the emission
rate estimates.
For emission calculations, Terracon has assumed the following:
• Emissions calculations are based on a production rate of 10,000 bbl/day
throughput with a 3% condensate cut.
• 100% of the condensate is separated from the water and stored in the
condensate tanks.
• Post-processing water storage tanks reportedly have a low petroleum
con
centration and VOC emissions from these tanks are assumed to be
negligible.

High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 Terracon
APEN Submittal
Terracon Project No. 20097021
April 14, 2009
• Load-in emissions are assumed to be identical to load out emissions and
calculated using emission factors and equations listed in U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-
42). Load-in and load-out emissions are based on bottom-loading processes.
• Emissions from the "gun barrel" separator tanks are assumed to be an integral
component of the emissions from the product ASTs and have not been
calculated separately.
Assumptions for the water ASTs, loading emissions, and "gun barrel" separators were
made based on a telephone conversation with Mr. Adam Wozniak of the APCD in
February 2009.
Product and Separator ASTs:
The estimated VOC emissions from the four product ASTs was completed using the EPA
TANKS 4.0.9d software (TANKS). TANKS is a Windows-based computer software
program that estimates VOC and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from fixed- and
floating-roof storage tanks. TANKS is based on the emission estimation procedures from
Chapter 7 of EPA's AP-42.
For the TANKS calculations, the meteorological data for the Denver, Colorado region
yielded an estimate of approximately 75 throughputs per year per product AST, with crude
oil for the tank contents. TANKS does not provide an option of "condensate" for tank
content, and crude oil is the closest available match in TANKS to the product stored at the
subject site. Additional input data is included with the TANKS 4.0.9d Emissions Report in
Attachment 3.
Emissions from the product ASTs and "gun barrel" separators are estimated to be
approximately 5.14 tons per year.
Water ASTs:
Following the separation process through the 'gun barrel tanks', the water stored in the
ASTs reportedly has a low concentration of VOCs. Emissions from these tanks are
assumed to be negligible.
Load In/Out Emissions:
VOC vapor emission calculations for load in of E&P waste water (Class II waste) and load
out of recovered product are based on procedures from Chapter 5 of EPA's AP-42. The
load-in and load-out emissions were calculated assuming the use of bottom loading.

High Plains Disposal Weld Site#1 Terracon
APEN Submittal
Terracon Project No. 20097021
April 14, 2009
Combined load in/out emissions are estimated to be approximately 4.63 tons per year.
Loading emission estimates, including equations and calculations, are presented on Table
3 in Attachment 2.
Total Estimated Facility Emissions:
Total estimated emissions from the Facility are estimated to be approximately 14.4 tons
per year. A Facility Emission Estimate Summary is presented in Attachment 2, Table 4.
Additional data, including the VOC annual requested permit level, are included with the
APEN, Supplement APENs, and other supporting materials in Attachment 3.
