RESPONSES TO USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
(AMUSR-597)
1. The Proposed Use of the Property:
Duke currently operates an oil and gas processing facility on the property. The equipment
includes compressors associated with gas processing and other equipment to allow gas produced in
Weld County to be transported to market and sold.
2. Consistency with Weld Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan because it seeks to use the land
to foster the development of the vast natural resources in Weld County. Moreover, given the
property's size together with the absence of any water rights attached to the property, it is impractical
to use this property for farming.
3. Consistency with the Intent of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the zone
district:
The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone District, as it will
foster the development of oil and natural gas resources, and Section 31.2 of the Weld County
Ordinance provides that Oil and Gas Production Facilities are allowed as a matter of right in the
Agricultural Zone District. Further, it will not interfere with any agricultural operations.
4. Surrounding Uses:
The site is surrounded by agriculture uses.
5. Details regarding Use:
a. How many people will use the site? 50-65 total per day, but at a given time
up to 20.
b. How many employees will be on site? Only employees of Duke or other
contractor
c. What are the hours of operation? 24 hours.
d. Structures to be built? Please see the plot plan

e. What type of animals?No animals.
f. What type of vehicles? Pick up trucks, semi-trucks (2-3 per hour)
g. Who will provide fire protection? Evans.
h. What is the water source? Central Weld Water
i. What is the sewage disposal? Septic
j. Will there be any warehousing? There is a warehouse, but it is storage for
parts (akin to a shop).
6. Explain the Proposed Landscaping:
There is no proposed landscaping.
7. Proposed Reclamation Procedures:
No reclamation procedures will be necessary.
8. Storm Water Drainage:
The current natural drainage will not be disturbed.
9. Timetable for Construction and Landscaping:
All construction is complete.
10. Storage of Wastes:
All wastes will be removed by truck or other appropriate method.

Dear Kim:
Enclosed is a narrative summary of the planned construction activities at the Greeley site identified

drawing of all equipment at the plant, and expect to forward that to you by the year's end.
Very truly yours,

Interoffice Correspondence
Date: December 16, 2003
To: Tim Clancy / Joe Kuchinski
From: Richard Evans
Subject: Greeley Plant Modifications
Pursuant to our most recent USR meeting, please find text describing the modifications
planned for the Greeley Processing Plant and Fractionation Unit. The purpose of this
memo is to provide an overview of the project scope. Technical details will not be
addressed in this correspondence.
This project is being driven by safety concerns, and the need to ensure that the plant
complies with all applicable safety standards. Applicable safety standards include those
mandated by OSHA, and Duke Energy Field Services (DEFS). Additionally, the planned
modifications will allow the facility to meet DEFS and Industry guideline for truck loading
and unloading. The capacity of the plant (its' ability to process natural gas and associated
liquids) will not change. Therefore, this project should not be viewed as a plant expansion,
and the project essentially has no payback in the form of increased revenue to DEFS.
The Greeley facility consists of two major elements; a natural gas processing plant that
extracts liquids from locally produced natural gas, and fractionators that separates these
separates these liquids into individual components such as propane and butane. Because
of the facilities' ability to make segregate natural gas liquids, it is necessary to truck raw
liquids into Greeley from other gas plants for liquid processing. Once this processing is
complete, it is necessary to truck the finished "product" to various destinations across the
United States. This project deals primarily with the truck loading operation.
The main elements of the project are the modifications to the Truck Loading System, which
consists of five key elements.
1. Load Rack Relocation. Due to the truck traffic congestion inside the present
facility, DEFS will relocate the truck loading rack to an area immediately west of the
existing facility. The land to be used is presently owned by DEFS. Purpose of the
relocation is to make additional space for loading, by spreading out the area
available for truck traffic. By design, this will increase the distance from the loading
area to the processing facility itself, reducing the risk of an accident. A key element
of the loading area will be that truck traffic inside the facility will be restricted to one
direction only, and will eliminate the need for trucks to back up during normal
loading operations. Present plans to not call for additional individual loading racks,
although current plans call for the rate at which trucks can be loaded to increase
from 250 gallons per minute to approximately 300 gallons per minute, allowing
DEFS to process trucks faster.
2. Load Rack Automation: The existing loading process will be semi-automated.
Scope of this element of the project includes a new computer and control system.
The system will make use of a palm scanner to ensure that the truck driver is
known and recognized electronically, thereby greatly enhancing the security of the
plant. The automation system will print load/unload tickets automatically. The
system will electronically provide inventory control, reducing the risk of unaccounted
for product leaving the facility. The system will provide automated lane control for
each truck. The automation will include a Safety System Permissive feature,
meaning the truck driver will not be allowed to perform an operation out of
sequence, or perform an action that the system recognizes as being unsafe. In
sum, this element of the project will significantly reduce the possibility of human
error, and increase the security of the facility and surrounding area.
3. Homeland Security: The project includes features to comply with emerging
Homeland Security Issues. These features include an automatic truck gate to
ensure only drivers recognized electronically will be allowed into the facility. It also
includes an intercom and radio system, allowing the DEFS person responsible for
loading to communicate with the drivers from remote locations in the plant. A
security and surveillance camera will also be installed. These features, in
conjunction with the automation project discussed above will greatly increase the
security of the facility.
4. Truck Scale Relocation: The existing truck scales, for which all trucks must pass
upon entering and leaving the facility, will be relocated. Purpose is to address
existing issues, including truck queue, to prevent backup on the county road.
Relocation will enhance the crossing pattern between incoming and outgoing trucks
and will locate the scales further from existing plant facilities.
5. Overpressure Protection and Vent System Modifications: The overpressure
protection modifications include numerous technical changes to ensure that the
facility and the trucks are protected from accidental overpressure, thus reducing the
possibility of an accident. There will also be modifications made to the plant vent
system. These modifications, which work conjunction with the overpressure
protection, will improve plant safety and mitigate environmental concerns associated
with the facility.
r
In summation, this project will bring this facility up to the industry standards expected in the
new millennium by incorporating modern (but not state of the art) technology. By
increasing safety, and reducing truck traffic congestion, the project benefits both DEFS and
the surrounding community. Please be aware that the project and key elements have not
been finalized, and are subject to change.
