Marla Compressor Station(DLAA Reference No, 6666)
Dear Sue:
On Friday,March 7,2003 we measured noise levels near residences surrounding the Marla
Compressor Station. The station is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Weld
County Roads 40 and 55. Measurements were taken at four locations near residences to the
north,south, cast,and southwest. In addition to the short term measurements taken on March 7,
a sound meter was left at Mr. Hiushaw's residence southwest of the compressor station from
Friday,March 7,to Wednesday,March 12,2003. This meter continuously ran a series of one
hour duration measurements over the five day period. The measurements showed that the
allowable noise level limits of Weld County are not exceeded at the residences by noise from
Marla Compressor Station.
•
Teat Procedure
Measurements taken with a handheld sound level niter will be referred to as"handheld"
measurements. Those taken by the sound level meter that was left at Mr. Hinshaw's residence for
five days will be referred to herein as"unattended"measurements,since our personnel were not.
present during most of the"unattended"measurement period.
fandheld Me aurenynra •
All handheld measurements were taken with a Larson-Davis Model 2900(s/n 0518)Type I sound
level meter on"slow"response,together with a Brad &Kjeer Type 4165 microphone.
Calibration was checked before and after the measurements with a Larson-Davis CAL200
Acoustic Calibrator(S/N 0697). A windscreen covered the microphone during all measurements.
Each measurement was a 60 second duration time-average. Sound was measured with one-third
octave bend filters,but only the overall A-weighted sound level data is reported herein. The one-
third octave band data and original printouts of each test are available at your request.

The handheld sound level measurements were made between approximately 11:00 am and 12:00 pm
on Friday,Match 7, 2003. Dining the sound level measurements, all six engines at the Marla
Compressor Station were operating.
During handheld measurements,an efirrt was made to exclude interference torn passing trucks,
aircraft, and other significant background noise sources.
Unattended Meaamements
The unattended sound level measurements were made with a Larson Davis Model 820(S/N 0768)
sound level meter that meets the American National Standard Institute(ANSI)requirements Sr
Type 1 sound level meters. The meter recorded data tom approximately 11:20 a.m. on Friday,
Mardi 7,2003, to 1:10 p.m. on Wednesday,March 12, 2003. The microphone was a1"random
incidence Larson Davis Model 2560(S/N 2639)microphone,with a Larson Davis Model 828 pre-
amplifier. During the measurements,the meta was secured in a weatherproof case,and the
microphone was placed on a tripod. Calibration was checked betas and eta the measurements with
a Larson-Davis CAL200 Acoustic Calibrator(S(N 0697). The meter was set err"slaw"response,
and a windscreen covered the microphone during all measurements.
The 90-percentile-exceeded sound level(Lm)was used to determine the steady sound level ofthe
coniptessor station. The Lay is the sound pressure level that is exceeded 90%of the time daring the
measurement duration. Since ambient noise typically varies during the one hour measurement period,
the lie level is commonly used to assess the noise contribution of a steady source such as the
compressor station. The Ira is used because it reduces the effct of short tam background noise
tom ears passing by, dogs backing, antral fyovets,end other intermittent background sources.
Figure 2 shows the results ofthe unattended measurements with the Lyn sound level plotted versus
time, Figure 2 includes a period where guns were being fired in the area You can see that the plot
does not show increased sound levels at this time. This is a good sample of why the Las is used.
Even though gun shots are very loud, they are also very short duration, so they have little Sot on
the lop,sound level. Since the compressor station operates continuously and produces a relatively
steady sound level,the Lyn more accurately represents sound torn the station,with less influence
tram intamittent background noise.
The calibration of both sound level meters and calibrators hen been checked by the manufacturer
within the msnu&tm&s recommended time period.
Weather
•
Weather and meteorological conditions can influence the transmission of sound outdoor,and have a
sign&ant effect at distances greater than about 300 fret. Wind speed and direction,and the
presence of a temperature lapse or inversion,have the most influence on sound transmission between
distant points. Wind also has significant effect on ambient noise levels due to noise loin rustling
leaves,grass, etc.

Handheld measurements were not taken during strong wind gusts or at times when the elect ofwind
blowing across the microphone was judged to affect the measurements. Where the influence of noise
from matting leaves and grass was judged to be significant,this is rioted with the results.
On Friday,March 7, 2003,we made the tilowing weather observations:
11:15 am Wind 0-8 mph tom East, 68°,20%-30%RH

Test Locations
We measured sound levels at btu differs=locations near four residences around the Maria site.
At all bur locations, the microphone was held approximately 5'above the ground. A Magellan 310
GPS receiver was used to determine latitude and longitude. This receiver is accurate to within
approximately 45 it
The locations are shown on a map in Figure 1, and are thither described as follows.
listirkmoji Hinshaw Residence(26600 WCR 40, approximately 2400 fret southwest of the center
of the Marla site. Latitude/longitude is 400 16,34 N; 104°,33.25 W. Measurements were made in
• the font yard of the residence, approximately 119 let northeast of the northeast comer ofthe
house

The results of the measurements from the"unattended"sound level meter are plotted in Figure 2.
We have also annotated the graph in Figure 2 with the comments of Mr. Hinshaw. Mr Hinshaw kept
a lag of times when sound from Marla Compressor Station was considered minor, and when be
considered it annoying. A copy of Mr. Hinshaw's log is attached to this report.
Sound Level Criteria
The Weld County Aesthetic and Noise Control Regulations state that bra Residential zone,the
allowable noise limit is 55 dBA tom 7:00 am to the next 7:00 pm, and 50 dBA from 7:00 pm to the
next 7:00 am.
Our handheld and"unattended"maeumnents show that the limits bra Residential vane ate not
exceeded by noise from the Marla Compressor Station. •
We hope that this report helps you understand the impact of sound generated by the Made
Compressor Station. While we believe that the measurements show that the site is not violating
applicable regulations,we would be happy to work with you if you decide to consider mitigation.
• Keep in mind that the Marla site has many different sources of sound. Many options are available to
mitigate noise,but the impact ofmitigating each particular son must be evaluated within the
context of the whole sits In other words,you must consider all of the sources together to identify
which sources are.having the greatest impact on each separate location receiving the sound. For
example, something that will mitigate sound to the south,may have no impact in another direction,
or it could even increase sound levels in some directions. Also, some measures

that mitigate sound close to the site may'have little or no effect at a distant location.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions,or if you would like to discuss this further.
Sincerely,

From: PHIL Brewer
To: Davis, Char
Date: 4/3/03 7:55AM
Subject: What? Am I Deaf?
Char: I noticed something rather"scientifically" or"procedurally" interesting at the Marla Compressor
Station yesterday.
During the morning and afternoon the maximum levels (dB(A)) of sound along WCR 40 were 87.2 and
88.4 respectively(25 feet from property line). In the evening at 1845, maximum value was 86.4. At 20:30,
83.1. But, and this is a big "BUT", there was a qualitative difference in the sound that I noticed.
During the early readings, the sound had a component that was the "Shrill", the high frequency annoying,
"hypersonic" piercing part that really bothered me as I stood there doing the readings. That specific
component was missing last night.
The wind was still too great to get valid readings last evening. I will plan another date with Marla when the
winds are down to where statutorily they must be to do statutorily valid determinations.
Wind was absolutely constant all day yesterday. It ranged from 5-22 mph out of the south.
I will prepare a formal report when I obtain valid #'s.

Re: Marla USR
Dear Kim:
Following the hearing before the Weld County Planning Commission, we agreed to take action to mitigate
the sound emitted from Marla before proceeding to the Board of Commissioners. This issue has become
more tricky than we initially believed. Accordingly, we have retained a second sound consultant and safety
engineers to ensure that the final plan is safe and that it actually works to mitigate the sound. Although the
mitigation will likely cost several hundred thousand dollars, Duke is committed to honoring its commitment
We are now finalizing our second plan, and we have already submitted a funding request and hope to be
moving on it soon. Our first plan involved the construction of a building over the compressors. This type
of building has been used at other sites in the north primarily, and is designed and manufactured by a
Canadian firm. After a review of the plans and specifications by our in-house engineers, however, it was
determined that the building could not work in Weld County at that site. Accordingly, the engineers have
modified that plan and have agreed to forward it to me in the coming days. When I receive it, I will inform
both the County(through you) as well as the nearby resident, Mr. Michael Hanshaw. Either of you should
feel free to contact me directly if you have any concerns about the plan that we submit to you.
Yours very truly,

RE: Marla Compressor Station- Sound Levels(DLAA Reference No. 6666)
Dear Richard:
I visited Marla Compressor Station in Weld County on Thursday, August 19, 2004,to measure sound
levels around the perimeter of the site. The sound levels were less than 75 dBA at all locations
(measured 25' from the property line)around the perimeter.
While I was on site in the morning,the sky was overcast. At 11:20 a.m., the temperature was 59°F
with Relative Humidity (RH) of about 70%. The wind speed was 2 to 5 MPH from the southeast. I
understand that all six engines were operating normally during the tests.
All measurements were taken with a Larson-Davis Model 2900 (S/N 0518)Type 1 sound level meter
on "slow"response, together with a Bruel & Kj er Type 4165 (S/N 875052)microphone. Calibration
was checked before and after the measurements with a Larson-Davis CA250(S/N 0118)Precision
Acoustic Calibrator. A windscreen covered the microphone during all measurements. The sound
level meter and microphone were handheld for all tests. The duration of each measurement was 30
seconds and the values are time-averaged. The overall A-weighted sound pressure levels are
presented in this report, but one-third octave-band sound level data are also available at your request.
I measured at locations around the perimeter of the site. The results and measurement locations are
shown in Figure 1. Each location was determined to be the worst case location in the vicinity of the
measurement.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me.
Sincerely,

Re: Marla USR
Dear Kim:
We now have an engineered plan to mitigate the sound emitted from the Marla site. The plan includes
measures that will cost approximately $450,000. Given this potential expense, Duke's local office must
have the funding approved by the corporate office. This plan has been preliminarily approved. I should
have a copy of the plan in the coming week, and at that time will run it by you and Mr. Hanshaw for
comment.
Once all parties are on board, we would work with the County to allow construction as soon as possible.
At the same time, we would ask for our final hearing before the Commissioners. Again, thank you for your
attention to this matter, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns about the plan that we
submit to you.

Dear Bill Jerke-County Commissioner, 11/15/04
4 r:
Please do what you can to help our comrnithity. My family lives at
26574 WCR 40, Kersey. We love our home and worked hard building it by
ourselves. We are at the mercy of Duke Energy and Patina Oil & Gas. They
are big companies who are mostly concerned about their bottom line and
not about the people their actions affect. Their big plant at the end of our
road is a constant sorce of noise and disturbance. We, (like our neighbors)
moved away from the city for 3 main reasons. To get away from the noise
of the city, the heavy traffic, and unsafe conditions that are not supposed to
be a part of county living. With the constant noise and disturbance of the
plant, one cannot enjoy what should be our right; a sunset evening on the
front porch- watching our horses graze and hearing coyottes howling in the
background. Instead we hear the annoying generators drowning out all
sounds of nature. If you were to make them comply with the noise ordinances
by enclosing the generators, or by putting up a sound absorbing wall, you
would be a hero in our eyes. We have no voice against such a big company.
The heavy traffic of all their workers going up and down our road is also out
of hand. You should see how fast they drive. You know, when I was growing
up, kids in the country could ride their bikes and horses up and down their
dirt roads. Not ours! I worry about our kids walking across it to collect the
mail. The heavy and fast traffic has made our road a mess. Our vehicles
bounce all over the place causing us to have more than necessary front-end
allignments. Why should we have this added expense? I have also called the
county road guys because I was affraid that my husbands truck would end
up in the ditch. I was actually scared to death to ride in that truck. Even at
only 30 miles per hr. it would bounce so much that it felt like it could spin out
of control. I marvel that at the speed people are driving-that no one has
died yet. If Duke Energy does not pave that road, I think they are going to
have one huge law-suit eventually. My 3rd concern is the health and
well-being of my families drinking water. With Patina 'fracing' the wells to
get their stupid product to the surface, they are exposing every one in our
community to harmfull substances. What is the county going to do if it
becomes public in 3-5 or 10 years that this procedure has caused us health
problems? Could be the making of another big movie. Please speak up for
us, help protect our rights and keep us safe. Your support is greatly
appreciated.
