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. Page 2 of 2 USR-1280 AMENDED APPLICATION SECTION 3 USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE KERR-MCGEE GATHERING LLC Proposed Amine Plant at the Platteville Compressor Station under USR-1280 Township 3 North, Range 66 West 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 Page 4 of 6 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. Construction is expected to begin within two weeks of obtaining the required building permits. The Plant will be operational approximately 3 months after construction begins. The maximum workforce for the Plant construction is estimated to be 25 construction personnel. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Page 5 of 6 There will be no storage and/or stockpile of wastes at this site. Normal waste including paper trash will be disposed of utilizing commercial dumpster services. Other waste from the Plant will include: 1.) Amine filters 2.) Lube oil or hydrocarbon liquid contaminated rags Used filters will be transported away from the site using approved transporters. Any spill reporting or remedial actions will be the responsibility of Kerr McGee Rocky Mountain's Environmental Affairs Manager. Contaminated rags will be transported off site to approved disposal.

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.

KERR-MCGEE GATHERING Lt.. Landscape Plan PROPOSED AMINE PLANT AT THE PLATTEVILLE COMPRESSOR STATION January 17,2002 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.

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.
