USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
KERR-MCGEE GATHERING LLC
PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEVILLE COMPRESSOR STATION
This Application for a Use by Special Review Permit ("Application") is submitted by Kerr
McGee Gathering, LLC ("Applicant"), formerly HS Gathering, L.L.C., in connection with
Applicant's desire to construct and operate additional equipment collectively referred to as an Amine
Plant("Plant")at the Applicant's Platteville Natural Gas Compressor Station(the"Station")located
in the W2NE4SE4 and E2NW4SE4 of Section 13, T3N, R66W, Weld County, Colorado. The
Station is currently operating under USR Permit #1280. The Plant is required to remove excess
Carbon Dioxide from the compressed natural gas stream. The removal of the excess Carbon Dioxide
will enable the gas to meet pipeline specifications for delivery to the Applicant's Ft. Lupton
Processing Plant located on WCR 22,NARCO's Processing Plant located immediately to the North
across WCR 22,BP-Amoco's Wattenberg Processing Plant located near I-70 and E-470 and Duke's
Spindle Processing Plant located at WCR 19 and WCR 14.5 via existing pipelines.
The necessity for locating the Plant at the Station is a consequence of the natural gas being
above the contractual Carbon Dioxide concentration of the various processing plants. The Applicant
evaluated all of it's other Compressor Stations to determine if a more suitable location for the Plant
was possible but because of lower Carbon Dioxide concentrations,none were preferable. A vicinity
map is included on the Special Review plat map.
The proposed site offers the further advantage of already being zoned as an industrial site. No
additional well water or sanitation services are required because the Plant will be operated in the
Applicant's existing Station and those needs will be met by existing facilities and services at the
Station.
The Plant will operate 365 days per year, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day and will be
designed so that it may be operated unattended. The Plant will be maintained by the same personnel
who maintain the Applicant's Station,so it is not anticipated that there will be any material increase
in local traffic.
An automated emergency shut down system will constantly monitor conditions at the Plant and
shut down the entire station in an emergency. In addition,the pump building will be equipped with
fire detectors and combustible gas monitors which will automatically shut down the Station should
.-, either a fire or the escape of combustible gas be detected. A call-out system, operated on an
Page I of 2
uninterruptible power supply,will notify Applicant of Plant or Station shutdowns or any operational
problems.
Construction is expected to begin within two weeks from the time Applicant obtains its
building permits and the Station will be operational approximately two months after construction
begins.The number of persons involved in the construction is not anticipated to exceed twenty five
(25). Construction personnel will work from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Construction equipment shall include backhoes and small(15T to 25T)cranes. Large cranes(80T to
110T) will be used for two days to set the towers.
This Application is the result of a comprehensive analysis of existing and projected future
production of natural gas from the Wattenberg Area. The Wattenberg Gas Gathering System
currently transports approximately 235 MMCF of natural gas per day to four primary Processing
Plants for further treatment and compression of the gas. These Stations include the Applicant's Fort
Lupton Processing Plant, the BP-Amoco Wattenberg Gas Processing Plant, the NARCO Gas
Processing Plant and the Duke Spindle Gas Processing Plant. Of the 235 MMSCF transported on
the Wattenberg Gas Gathering System,approximately 80 MMSCF per day can be compressed by the
Station. If the Plant is not installed at the Station it will result in some producers and operators being
unable to sell and market their gas. This, in turn, adversely affects the efficient and economic
recovery of gas as well as the economic life of some of the wells in the county. The projected
increase in demand for natural gas,both locally and regionally,requires that the Station's capacity be
utilized and it is the Applicant's belief that this Plant will allow the Station to provide the capacity
with minimal impact on neighboring property and owners, and in a manner that is consistent with
existing uses and the objectives of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

Section 13: W2NE4SE4,E2NW4SE4
Weld County, Colorado
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
KERR-MCGEE GATHERING LLC
PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEVILLE COMPRESSOR STATION
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
Kerr McGee Gathering, LLC ("Applicant")proposes to construct and operate additional
equipment collectively referred to as an Amine Plant("Plant") at the Applicant's Platteville
Natural Gas Compressor Station (the "Station") located in the W2NE4SE4 and E2NW4SE4
of Section 13, T3N, R66W, Weld County, Colorado. The Station is currently operating
under USR Permit#1280. The Plant is required to remove excess Carbon Dioxide from the
compressed natural gas stream. The removal of the excess Carbon Dioxide will enable the
gas to meet pipeline specifications for delivery to the Applicant's Ft. Lupton Processing
Plant located on WCR 22,NARCO's Processing Plant located immediately to the North
across WCR 22, BP-Amoco's Wattenberg Processing Plant located near I-70 and E-470 and
Duke's Spindle Processing Plant located at WCR 19 and WCR 14.5 via existing pipelines
Public Service Company of Colorado will provide fuel gas to the Plant utilizing existing
facilities for use in connection with Applicant's existing Station. Likewise, the Plant will
take advantage of existing restroom and drinking water facilities at the compressor station so
there will be no additional domestic water or sanitation needs.
The Plant will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year and will be
designed to be unattended. A safety shutdown system will shut down the Plant and Station
if required for safety reasons and will notify operators during unattended operations. The
emergency shut down system will utilize automated valves to shut off gas into and out of the
Plant and Station and to vent the gas. The pump building will be equipped with fire
detectors and combustible gas monitors which will automatically shut down the Plant and
Station in emergencies.
Ordinary debris, trash and waste will be disposed of by commercial dumpster services.
Other waste, such as lube oil and rags that have been contaminated with lube oil or NGL's,
will be transported from the property to approved disposal facilities using certified
transporters.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Page 1 of 6
�-. Comprehensive Plan.
Because the Plant will be located within the Station and through the avoidance of any
encroachment on agricultural, residential, or other incompatible land uses,this proposal
comports with the intent and stated goals of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan(the
"Plan"). The Plan states that one of the most important considerations in land-use planning
is the way the land is presently used. As noted elsewhere herein,the existence of
Applicant's compressor station means that similar uses can be assembled in a consolidated
and coordinated manner. Utilities, services and roads already exist so there is no need for
the expansion or extension of new facilities and services into areas where they do not
already exist.
In particular,this proposal avoids any interference with the operation of prime farmland
within the County or encroachment upon residential or other potentially incompatible land
uses. It will also contribute to the expansion of the County's industrial economic base by
providing an essential function in the production of natural gas in the County. The proposal
is also consistent with one of the overriding themes of the Plan, which is that new
developments, projects and facilities are to "pay their own way." The operation of the Plant
will not impose any new burdens or costs upon the County and will be a self-sustaining
operation.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance and the zone district in which it is located.
Section 24.1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance ("Ordinance")contemplates and
specifically provides for circumstances in which a particular land use is determined to be
more intense or to have a potentially greater impact than uses otherwise allowed. That is the
purpose of the Use by Special Review. In this case,the proposed location of the Plant is in
the Agricultural Zone District and,therefore, additional consideration is necessary to ensure
that it is established and operated in a manner that is compatible with existing and planned
uses in the neighborhood. In this case, compatibility with existing uses is assured because
the Plant will be located in an operating natural gas compressor station. No currently
productive agricultural lands or residential areas will be impacted.
The compression,treatment and processing of natural gas produced in Weld County is a
necessary component of marketing this valuable resource. Providing the required treatment
will not only foster the development of an important economic base (Ordinance Sec.4.1.7)
but, in so doing, will contribute to the convenience and general welfare of the present and
future residents of the County(Sec. 24.1.1). The Station will contribute to the County's tax
base (Sec. 4.1.5)with little or no adverse impact in terms of additional roads (Sec. 4.1.1) or
Page 2 of 6
other governmental expenditures (Sec. 4.1.6). In short, the Applicant believes the proposed
Plant is ideally suited to be located at the site that has been proposed, notwithstanding the
fact that the zone district for that location will not permit its construction as a Use Allowed
by Right. Because it is not being utilized as agricultural land, and there is no foreseeable
reason that it would be so utilized, this proposal presents an ideal circumstance in which to
permit a Use by Special Review.
4. What type of uses surround this site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and
compatible with surrounding land uses.
The Station is located in a remote,rural area with a Denver International Airport radar
station located approximately' mile to the North. To the South of the Station,the
Applicant has an existing land farm where non-ha7nrdous oil waste is treated. To the West
of the station there is undeveloped rangeland with several oil wells and a Tank Battery. To
the East of the Station there is undeveloped rangeland with oil wells. The Station itself has
been classified as an Industrial Zone. The soil for the property is composed of Valent sand
with limited potential for agricultural development due to its sandy texture and high
permeability.
The nearest residential property is located approximately 1500 feet northwest from the site
and it is not anticipated that operations of the Plant will have any material impact on that
residential property.
Pictures of the Station and proposed Plant location are attached.
5. Describe, in detail,the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
Employees, maintenance personnel,contractors and representatives of other
companies may be present at the site from time to time, but normally the Station will
be unattended. A maximum of 10 people may be at the site at one time.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
The Station will be operated by the same personnel that currently operate the Station.
One operator currently maintains the Station for 4-8 hours per day.
c. What are the hours of operation?
Page 3 of 6
The Station will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
d. What type and how may structures will be erected(built)on this site?
Major equipment to be installed at the site includes:
2—Towers approximately 3'-6" in Diameter by 60' Tall
1 —Pump Building approximately 15' X 30'
1 —Cooler skid, approximately 10'X 30'
1 - 15' X 20 building to house electrical equipment and for storage
2—2000 gallon bulk storage tanks
The building housing the pumps will be similar in design and will be the same color
as the existing buildings at the Station.
e. What type and how may animals, if any, will be on this site?
None.
f. What kind (type, size, weight)of vehicles will access this site and how often?
Operating personnel will use pickups to access the site each day.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
The proposed Station is located within the Platteville Fire Protection District. The
pump building will be equipped with combustible gas monitors and fire detectors.
The combustible gas detectors will detect potential combustible gas levels before they
reach an explosive level and will shut down the Plant and Station and close inlet and
outlet block valves. The fire detectors will shut down the Plant and Station and close
inlet and outlet block valves.
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation)
The Plant will require industrial quality make-up water which will be trucked in from
off site. The make-up water is required because of the normal steam loss in the
regeneration process of the amine. The water from the well that was drilled under
Well Permit Number 230144 will be used for the restroom facilities and for
intermittent cleaning of the equipment at the station. Potable water will be supplied

in bottles.
i. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed)
There is an existing septic system at the Station.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
Two, 2,000 gallon storage tanks will be installed to store industrial quality water and
amine.
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately
submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal.
There is no landscaping proposed for the site. Unused areas will remain undeveloped range
land.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special
Review activity occurs.
Applicant will remove all above ground equipment, buried and above ground piping and
any concrete structures within 18 inches of the land surface. The site will be graded to
match the contours of the surroundings properties.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Applicant will utilize collection ponds and silt fences as necessary to control erosion both
during construction and final operations in accordance with a Stormwater Discharge Plan
and permit which Applicant will obtain from the Colorado Department of Health.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and
landscaping is scheduled to begin.

KERR-MCGEE GATHERING LLC
PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEMLLE COMPRESSOR STATION
SITE SELECTION
Ken McGee Gathering, LLC ("Applicant") owns and operates the Platteville Natural Gas
Compressor Station(the"Station")located in the W2NE4SE4 and E2NW4SE4 of Section 13,T3N,
R66W, Weld County, Colorado. It is the Applicant's desire to construct and operate additional
equipment collectively referred to as an Amine Plant("Plant")at the Applicant's Station. The Plant
is required to remove excess Carbon Dioxide from the compressed natural gas stream. The removal
of the excess Carbon Dioxide will enable the gas to meet pipeline specifications for delivery to the
Applicant's Ft. Lupton Processing Plant located on WCR 22,NARCO's Processing Plant located
immediately to the North across WCR 22,BP-Amoco's Wattenberg Processing Plant located near I-
70 and E-470 and Duke's Spindle Processing Plant located at WCR 19 and WCR 14.5 via existing
pipelines.
The necessity for locating the Plant at the Station is a consequence of the natural gas being
above the contractual Carbon Dioxide concentration of the various processing plants. The Applicant
evaluated all of it's other Compressor Stations to determine if a more suitable location for the Plant
was possible but because of lower Carbon Dioxide concentrations, none were preferable.
NEED FOR THE AMINE PLANT
This Application is the result of a comprehensive analysis of existing and projected future
production of natural gas from the Wattenberg Area. The Wattenberg Gas Gathering System
currently transports approximately 235 MMCF of natural gas per day to four primary Processing
Plants for further treatment and compression of the gas. These Stations include the Applicant's
Fort Lupton Processing Plant, the BP-Amoco Wattenberg Gas Processing Plant, the NARCO Gas
Processing Plant and the Duke Spindle Gas Processing Plant. Of the 235 MMSCF transported
on the Wattenberg Gas Gathering System, approximately 80 MMSCF per day can be compressed
by the Station. If the Plant is not installed at the Station it will result in some producers and
operators being unable to sell and market their gas. This, in turn, adversely affects the efficient
and economic recovery of gas as well as the economic life of some of the wells in the county.
The projected increase in demand for natural gas, both locally and regionally, requires that the
Station's capacity be utilized and it is the Applicant's belief that this Plant will allow the Station
to provide the capacity with minimal impact on neighboring property and owners, and in a
manner that is consistent with existing uses and the objectives of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan.

Landscape Plan
Site Location
W2NE4SE4, E2NW4SE4 of Section 13 R3N T66W, Weld County, Colorado
The site is located within the boundaries of the Platteville Compressor Station. The site is
approximately 0.25 acre in size. The Weld County Soil Survey indicates the soil types as Valent
sand Valent loamy sand in this general area.
Objective
To reduce wind erosion on the site.
Methods
KMG proposes to gravel the ground surface of all disturbed areas to reduce wind erosion potential.
This Landscape Plan is based on recommendations in a December 6, 2000 letter from Mr. Norman
J. Wells, Jr., District Conservationist at the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Where possible the natural vegetation will not be disturbed. Gravel will be used as appropriate on
exposed areas within the facility to reduce wind erosion potential of exposed soils. The buffer
zones established for the Platteville Compressor Station will also aid in reducing windblown soils
from leaving the facility. Any seeded areas will be covered with approximately 4000 pounds of hay
or straw to help retain moisture and prevent erosion until the grasses can become established, as
recommended by the NRCS. The use of native grasses was chosen as the preferable alternative
as irrigation in this area would be impractical and the grasses can survive without irrigation.
NRCS recommended native grasses:
Sand Bluestem 16.0#pls/ac
Switchgrass 4.5#pls/ac
Prairie Sandreed 6.5#pls/ac
Side Oats GramaLittle Bluestem 9.0#pls/ac
Little Bluestem 7.0#pls/ac
Needle and Thread 15.0#pls/ac
Conclusions
The combination of the 50-foot buffer zone around the south and east sides of the Platteville
Compressor Station, gravelling exposed areas as appropriate within the facility, and the planting of
recommended sorghum and native grasses on exposed exterior areas will significantly reduce
damage caused by wind erosion and screen the facility from the south.

Weed Management Plan
Site Location
W2NE4SE4, E2NW4SE4 of Section 13, Township 3 North, Range 66 West
Weld County, Colorado
The site is located within the boundaries of the Platteville Compressor Station. The site is
approximately 0.25 acre in size.
Obiective
To control undesirable plants on the subject property, the following Weed Management Plan is
proposed. Plants identified through the Colorado Weed Management Act(CRS § 35-5.5-101, et
seq.) as undesirable and designated for management on-site include CanadaThistle, Musk Thistle,
Diffuse Knapweed, Russian Knapweed, and Dalmation Toadflax. The site is consistent in
topography and vegetation. None of the designated noxious weeds were identified at or near the
subject site. However, if any of the noxious weeds listed above are identified in the future the
following methods can be used to control them.
Methods of Control
The methods of control are cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical. These methods are
defined as follows:
Cultural—The method or management practices that encourage the growth of desirable plants
over undesirable plants.
Mechanical—The method or management practices that physically disrupt plant growth including
but not limited to tilling, mowing, burning, flooding, mulching, hand-pulling, and hoeing.
Biological—The use of organisms such as sheep, goats, cattle, insects, and plant diseases to
disrupt the growth of undesirable plants.
Chemical-The use of herbicides or plant regulators to disrupt the growth of undesirable plants.
An integration of one or more of these methods can be applied to this site.
Weed management of undesirable weeds for the site is as follows:
1. Canada Thistle
A. Mechanical and Chemical Control—Mowing can occur throughout the growing
season in order to keep the plants from going to seed. Mowing should be
terminated in late August followed by a herbicide treatment during late September
through October, before a hard frost.
Page 2
KERR-MCGEE GATHERING L_i Weed Mgt.Plan
PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEVILLE COMPRESSOR STATION January 17,2002
B. Cultural and Chemical Control—Use a short residual herbicide followed by a
seeding with a competitive grass such as western wheatgrass or other sod forming
species (natives preferred).
C. Chemical Control Only—Herbicide applications can be applied from rosette to bud
stage and if needed, retreated in the fall.
2. Musk Thistle
A. Mechanical and Chemical Control—Mowing to occur throughout the summer to
address the bud stage of the thistle. Apply an herbicide in October to new rosettes
and any bolted plants.
B. Mechanical Control Only—Conduct multiple mowings during the summer(two to
four) to keep seeds from being produced.
C. Chemical Control Only—Herbicides can be used in the spring and fall when the
plant is in the rosette stage. Only the herbicides labeled for the site intended will
be used.
3. Diffuse Knapweed
A. Cultural and Chemical Control—Apply herbicide in early summer when knapweed
is in the rosette through bolting stage. Reseed area with competitive perennial
sod forming grasses. Another herbicide application utilized the following year as
needed to prevent plants from going to seed.
B. Mechanical and Chemical Control—During the growing season, mow when the
knapweed is in the bud stage to prevent seeding. If necessary, an herbicide
application to any plants that have re-bolted will be made in the fall.
C. Mechanical Control Only—To prevent seed set, mow throughout the summer
season.
D. Chemical Control Only—The herbicide application is to be made during the rosette
stage(spring or fall) and while bolting.
4. Russian Knapweed
A. Cultural and Chemical Control—An herbicide application, using short residual
herbicides can be used followed up by seeding the area with a competitive grass
such as western wheatgrass or other sod forming species.
B. Mechanical and Chemical Control—Mowing can be carried out throughout the
season with the first and successive mowing cycles carried out at the bud stage.
Page 3
KERR-MCGEE GATHERING LLC Weed Mgt.Plan
PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEVILLE COMPRESSOR STATION January 17,2002
An herbicide treatment can then be made in the fall before a hard freeze.
C. Mechanical Control Only—Mowing can be carried out throughout the season, to
prevent seed set.
D. Chemical Control Only—Herbicide applications can be made to the knapweed
during the bud stage and in the fall if necessary.
5. Dalmation Toadflax
A. Cultural and Chemical Control—An herbicide application, using short residual
herbicides can be used followed up by seeding the area with a competitive grass
such as wheatgrass or other sod forming species.
B. Mechanical and Chemical Control—Mowing can be carried out throughout the
summer with the first and successive mowing cycles carried out at the bud stage.
An herbicide treatment can then be made in October.
C. Chemical Control Only—Herbicide applications can be made to the tadflax during
the early flower stage and in the fall if necessary.
Conclusion
Weed management by cities and counties is becoming more common in Colorado and through this
type of management undesirable plant species have been reduced.
Not unlike other parcels along the Front Range,this development has varying landscapes and site
conditions. With this in mind, this plan was formulated and by implementing one or more of the
above applications, weeds can be managed and reduced at the Amine Plant at the Platteville
Compressor Station.
