The applicant proposes to expand a gas processing plant on 60.5 acres near Ft. Lupton, Colorado. Well water is to be used for water needs of a round-the-clock operation employing approximately 40 people at any one time. A commercial well permit would be required by this office for such an operation. A search of our records does not find such a permit. To obtain a commercial well permit for a tributary well in the South Platte River basin, which is considered an over-appropriated basin, a court approved plan for augmentation must be developed. The plan for augmentation would replace the out of priority water uses of the operation. We advise Vessels Oil & Gas to hire a water consultant to assist them in developing an adequate water supply plan. We cannot recommend approval of this application until such a plan is developed and approved by the Water Court. Sincerely, Hal D. Simpson, P.E.

Dunn, Current Planner Weld County Colorado Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Case Number: Amended USR-598:85:62 Vessels Oil and Gas Co. Dear Ms. Dunn: The land for the expansion of this gas processing plant would be Prime farmland if it becomes irrigated. It appears that most of theexpansion will be onto Olney soil . This soil has a moderate limitation for roads due to low strength. The present gas processing plant is on Weld loam soil and a small part of the expansion may be on this soil . It has a severe limitation for structures and roads due to low strength and shrink swell potential . For roads it has an additional limitation from potential frost action. We believe the area should be protected from both wind and water erosion both during and after development. Areas not covered by tanks, concrete or buildings can be protected with gravel or adapted grass. Grass should be planted where there is very little traffic.

Dunn Current Planner 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Re: Amendment for use by Special Review Dear Gloria: The site in question is located just outside of Brighton' s Planned Urban Area (P.U.A.) . The Gas Company would be located just outside our proposed Northwest boundary of that P.U.A. The Oil and Gas works would then be adjacent to an area where the land use proposed would be low to moderate density residential. Because of the location of the gas works to a future residential site, comments are as follows: *That strict air quality regulations be placed upon this use and be enforced; *That Vessels Oil and Gas Company provide landscaping or screen its' site so as to buffer an industrial site from a residen- tial use. These are the issues we felt might need to be addressed. Thank you for the opportunity to review this case. We appreciate your consideration.

A review of our records indicates that evidence of beneficial use was not submitted prior to the expiration date of the permit. You are hereby notified that the well permit expired on the date referenced above. You are hereby given the opportunity to submit proof that the water was put to beneficial use prior to the expiration date, but due to excusable neglect, inadvertence, or mistake, you failed to submit the evidence on time [C.R.S. 37-90-137(3)(c)]. The proof must be received by the State Engineer within twenty (20) days of receipt of the notice by the applicant and must be accompanied by a $30 filing fee. If the proof can be given favorable consideration by the State Engineer, then within thirty (30) days, a synopsis of the proof shall be published specifying that objections shall be filed in thirty (30) days. If no objections have been filed, the State Engineer shall, if he finds the proof to be satisfactory, find that the permit should remain in force and effect. If objections have been filed, the State Engineer shall set a date for a hearing on the proof and the objections thereto and shall notify the applicant and the objectors of the time and place. The State Engineer shall consider all evidence presented at the hearing in determining whether the permit should remain in force and effect. cs;i287 . r Applicant: Mike Boland Page 2 Vessels Oil & Gas Co.

The purpose of the measurements was to establish the noise levels resulting from plant operation at the plant ' s boundaries and the position of the boundary at which noise levels were below Colorado State requirements. The Colorado Department of Health, Title 25 Article 12 (CRS 25-12- 103 ) states that the maximum permissible noise level at a distance of 25 feet or more from the property line shall be 55 dB (A) during the hours of 7am to 7 pm and 50 dB (A) from 7 pm to the next 7 am. As the gas plant operates continuously over a 24 hour period the 50 dB (A) figure was chosen as a worst case to be used in the analy- sis. NOISE SOURCES AT THE SITE: Noise measurements were performed ata selection of locations throughout the gas plant, using a General Radio 1933 sound level meter on slow response. The units of measurement were decibels on the A weighted scale. The results of these mea- surements accompany this report. . The dominant noise sources in the plant were found to be the 2 Superior Compressors and their associated condensing fans, the refrigeration compressor on the western side of the plant and its condenser fan, the 2 enclosed Cummins engines - Gardner Denver compressor tandem arrangements when the enclosure rolldown doors were open and the ecological skid on which was mounted a Waukesha engine. 3925 south kalamath street • 8420 delmar boulevard englewood, colorado 80110 st. louis, missouri 63124 (303) 761-4367 (314) 991-1800 Mr. Joe Cruz Noise Measurements - Vessels Oil and Gas Co. Page 2 50 dB (A) NOISE CONTOUR: The data was used to construct the 50 dB (A) contours around the plant. This 50 dB (A) noise contour is the line beyond which the noise never exceeds 50 decibels in still air conditions (no wind) and is shown for two cases. The contour enclosing the greater area is that which exists at the present time. The contour enclosing the smaller area represents the noise scenario as envisaged 2 - 3 months from the time of writing when the enclosures presently being constructed around the Superior and Worthington machines are completed and with the rolldown doors on the Cummins engine - Gardner Denver compressor enclosure . closed . As can be seen from Figure I both contours extend be- yond the property perimeter more than the 25 feet specified by the Colorado Dept of Health. However, at the present time no residence exists within either contour and at the nearest existing residential building the ambient noise is unaffected by the plant operations. 55 dB (A) NOISE CONTOUR: Figure II shows the 55 dB (A) noise contour - the criteria to be used during daylight hours of 7 am to 7 pm and represents the line beyond which the noise levels do not exceed 55 decibels on the A scale. The contour drawn is that which will exist after completion of the enclosures presently being built and as in the nighttime case extends beyond 25 feet from the plant property line. The area enclosed by the contour is however, significantly smaller than that for the nighttime case. The noise sources which generate the contours shown on Figures I and II continue to be those items of mechanical equipment which are not built into an enclosure.

Cc cO� Cd L3't�:t4 INTENT AND GENERAL STATEMENTS FOR USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION Vessels Oil & Gas Company , being the surface owners of the property in part of the SE/4SE/4 of Section 28 , Township 1 North , Range 67 West of the 6th P . M . , are desirous of obtaining a Use by Special Review on said acreage . David E . Howard , et al , has leased the surface rights of a twenty- three ( 23 ) acre tract to Vessels Oil & Gas Company since May 11 , 1974 . A Warranty Deed on the property was executed September 2nd , 1983 , for the purchase of 25 . 50 acres in the SE/4SE/4 of Section 28 , Township 1 North , Range 67 West , by Vessels Oil & Gas Company . Vessels Oil & Gas Company has used the land for more than ten years as the site for a Gas Processing Plant Facility and Field Office . A Special Use Permit #256 was filed , and approved for this use , in 1974 . Due to a changing gas market , Vessels Oil & Gas Company has found it imperative to diversify its gas markets and sell gas to new markets Vessels had not previously supplied . The conditions under which these additional markets will take gas are different than those of the markets Vessels was servicing . As a result of those new delivery conditions that must be met , Vessels Oil & Gas Company has and is currently modernizing and improving the existing Gas Processing Facility . Because of the renovation , replacements and improvements being made to Vessels facilities , the Department of Planning found it necessary to have the Special Use Permit #256 amended . Vessels Oil & Gas Company feels that the request is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan , in that the Vessels Gas Processing Facility , has and will , continue to enhance and support the oil and gas industry growth and development in Weld County . 66028? The land use is , and will remain compatible with the surrounding lands . The subject acreage will facilitate in the purchasing , and processing of the production , from the oil and gas wells that are located in the vicinity . The surrounding acreage is agricultural , which is consistent with the majority of the acreage in the area . The existing and proposed land use will continue to enhance the future development of the area . The acreage is presently zoned Agricultural , and is proposed to remain so . The site is relatively small so no real loss of agricultural land has been lost . No waste is generated so no damage will occur to the surrounding agricultural land . The Gas Plant Facility , by continuing to expand its pipelines and processing capabilities , will encourage more oil and gas production throughout the county , which in turn will bring both economic and employment opportunities to the residents of Weld County . • We believe that there is more than adequate provision for the protection of the health , safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the county because we have worked with the Brighton Fire District and complied with all their rules and regulations to comply with any fire safety codes and regulation-s . We have complied with the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission so we are not emitting any pollutants , and the process of processing natural gas is such that no hazardous wastes are generated . Vessels Oil & Gas actively works within the Weld County and OSHA health and safety standards . So , the facility i-s safe and a healthy place to work . The acreage is located in the " A" District , being zoned Agricultural , however the 25 . 50 subject acresare not located on irrigated land, and have not been used for agricultural use '_for approximately ten ( 10 ) years . Therefore , it does not interfere or minimize the prime agricultural land in the area . 86028? The proposed use will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area because our site is not intended to expand more than what is illustrated on the plat , therefore it will not impact any agricultural development in the area . As stated before , the site is clean , therefore we cannot contaminate any agricultural land . Moreover , it is not located in or near any municipalities so it cannot effect any future -development in that regard . Our site is not located in a flood plain or in any geological hazard area . We are located on a rather high spot , and there are no major rivers that have seasonal overflow problems . We are not near the Weld County Airport overlay district area , therefore , the overlay district regulations are not applicable . Therefore , we are confident that we are in compliance with all the regulations as outlined in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance . Please find attached to this application : 1 . A detailed description of proposed operations and use . 2 . Recorded copies of the Warranty Deeds between the Howard family and Vessels Oil & Gas Company , and letters granting power of attorney . 3 . Certified list of surface owners within five hundred ( 500 ' ) foot radius of subject property . 4 . Certified list of mineral owners under subject property . 5 .

Proposed Use : The proposed use for this site will include natural gas processing , natural gas liquids processing , natural gas liquids handling and marketing . The field operations , processing operations , pipeline construction operations and field measurement are managed from this site . B . Need for use : This facility will process gas and natural gas liquids that are produced from Weld County , Colorado . If this facility is not in place , then a loss of production would occur and eventually the economy or revenues to Weld County would decline . C . Types of existing uses on surrounding properties : The predominant use on the surrounding properties is agricultural . D . The distance of the proposed use to residential structures in each direction is illustrated on the attached figure . F . The maximum number of users , patrons . members and buyers : Numerous gas producers throughout the area rely on our gas plant for marketing of their gas , and there are approximately 15 buyers of our natural gas liquid product . F . Number of employees , number of shifts and hours of operation : This operation is operated on a 24- hour per day 365 day per year basis . There are (3 ) 8- hour shifts per day , and there is approximately 40 people employed at any one time which includes all the employees required for production and processing . G . The type of water source for the proposed use : Well water is used for our domestic water needs . Our facility does not use cooling water . CS32. H . Access route to be utilized for the proposed use : The access shall be on Weld County Road 2 or 6 to -Weld County Road 19 . I . Explain type , size , weight and frequency of vehicular traffic associated with the proposed use : Pickup trucks and automobile traffic will be consistent with the average traffic flow for the level of employees . Eighteen -wheel transportation trucks are used to haul product to and from the site . The quantity of transportation trucks is estimated to be approximately 25 per day . This includes all incoming and outgoing truck traffic . J . Type of sewage facilities for the proposed use : See map plan for location of septic system and attached permit which is on file with the Weld County Health Department . K . Description of the proposed fire protection measures associated with the proposed use : We have two methods for fire protection which are dry chemical and water . We have a water tank with hydrants and a pump with hydrants strategically located throughout the facility and dry chemical extinguishers are located at necessary points throughout the plant . This fire protection has been approved by the local fire department . L . Type and maximum number of animals to he concentrated on the Use by Special Review area at any one time : Not applicable . M . Type and size of any waste , stockpile or storage areas associated with the proposed use : No waste is generated by this process , and we do not stockpile any products . We have storage tanks that are used for incoming product and outgoing product , these areas are completely contained . Refer to the attached map plan for the number and size of our storage area . N . Type of storm water retention facilities : Mos-t -of our—water is drained lilto a central location where it is pumped into the county road right - of-way ditch just to the west side of Road 19 . The site is fairly level so large quantities of water do not collect during a rainstorm . OF/a287 0 . Time schedule and method of removal and disposal of debris , junk and other wastes associated with the proposed use : Vessels Oil & Gas Company has weekly contracted disposal service . P . Proposed landscaping plans and erosion control measures : Erosion control measures are not necessary because the site is located on a level plain , therefore , rain water does not tend to erode the property . The land shall be levelled and kept in a tidy , orderly fashion . Q . Reclamation procedures to be employed upon cessation of the Use by Special Review activity : All equipment would be removed upon cessation of operations . Land would be , as nearly as possible , restored to its original or better condition . R . Timetable showing the periods of time required for construction and startup of the proposed use : The plant is already constructed and in operation , therefore a timetable is not necessary . 5M0\ .� _ asap �.

As the oil is being Produced, gas is otherwise vented or wasted unless it is gathered, processed and sold. In fact, when the ratio of gas to oil is found to be excessive it is unlawful to produce the oil without making the gas . Further, many of the marginal oil wells would not be drilled in this area unless the gas could be marketed making it economically - fC'" C' l in c'"-- .-c in ••• cat_y to drill , - most instances the Production of oil necessarily involves the marketing cf the associated gas . To accomplish this end, the proposed operation is an integrated clan designed to process the cas , yielding vitally needed propane and butane, natural gasoline , and possibly ethane, as well as permitting ail to be produced which otherwise might not be. In addition, a s^a.r' - ration natural gas will be produced and sold to a natural cas pipeline in the area. Without this ability to produce a specification natural gas , the gas Produced with the oil could not be sold. The natural Gas Processing plant will condition the cas for sale which is produced from the surrounding oil wells and possibly an occasional gas well. In so doing it will also produce a Propane-butane Product, a natural Gasoline product and possibly an ethane product. The ant consists primarilya _ '" c. _^..Et gas compressors , a rP�. - gar_lion cc:;_ resso . r heat exchangers for cool inc the natural cas , absc -- - _ a setarating the natural _ _ _ ELS c- _` s , a ..eater _ _ - _facilities �- ` ._._r. .. --SSG_r r ' 7-ooze= e.C heat , _. storage age and loading fa-, " - es e ds a `e Produced , -- - -.,du -d , and unit to remove water f_ ,.-, the natural Bass stream. Weld County Planning Cormiss; on ,a•, 13 , 1974 - _ Two A minimum of air pollution can be expected from the exhausts of toe natural gas powered gas compressors , refrigeration cos ressor and the natural gas fired heaters . The only water discharged from this ecuipment will be in the form of steam from the unit that removes water from the natural gas . As some of the propane-butane product may be sold for direct resale to consumers a mercantan odorant infection system may be required. With the power installation and operation of such a unit there will be no objectionable odors coming from same. Some noise levels will be produced by the compre_sors and to a lessor extent by the process air exchangers using electric motor driven fans . As with any equipment handling flammable liquids and gases , there is a certain fire hazard inherent in this operation. Again , this can be minimized with proper installation of the equipment and its operation. As the natural gas processing equipment will initially produce approximately 40 , 000 gallons of liquid product per day , one can expect four tanker truck loadings per day. Additional traffic can be expected from operation and maintenance and from the plant personnel driving to . _ The housing units and separate office for the processing plant are considered necessary for the efficient operation of the plant. It is most important that there be at least four resident operators as they will contribute significantly to increased plant efficiency , safety and security. Necessary sewage facilities will be provided with septic tanks and leach fields capable of handling foreseeable effluent and will be approved by the County Health Department. The maintenance shop and area production office are necessary in order to maintain an efficient and economic operation of the Producing wells in the area. The personnel attendant to the operation will not live on the premises and will drive to and from these facilities during the day as their use becomes necessary . Minimum air pollution can be expected from this operation and the toilet facilities in the small office will be served by a septic tank and leach field approved by the County Health Department. The ecuipment storage yard will be for storing the equipment necessary for completing and producing the wells in the area. Th erefore, it will have casing and tubing storage racks ; an a-ea _ to _rk _ se ig; and r store wellhead e:u_n'n.ent ; oil and gas separafors a:.C neater-treaters . Such a storage yard will Produce air nor water Pollution. Noise , glare , fire and other safety hazards would be at an aosolute minimum.

Original-Applicant; Copy-'WCHD WCHD—EHS February, 1591 e>t6 Ci25 engincerin g dynomios August 7, 1984 Ty Taylor Safety Director Vessels Oil and Gas Co. 8885 Weld County Road I+ 4 Brighton, CO 80604 Dear Mr, Taylor: On July 31, 1984, sound pressure level surveys were conducted at three plants operated by Vessels Oil and Gas Company. The purpose of these surveys was to quantify the existing noise levels near and around operating equipment at the plants. The three plants surveyed were the Fort Lupton, the Space City and the Irondale plants. ' Mea- surements were performed with a Gen Rad Model 1933 Precision Sound Level Meter under current calibration. All measurements were per- formed at a height of approximately 4 feet from the ground and at a distance of 4 to 6 feet from the perimeter of the equipment under test. Before the results of the survey are presented, a brief introduction to noise exposure criteria may be in order. Presently, the Occu- pational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is enforcing a maximum time weighted average (TWA) of 90 dB (A) for an 8 hour period with a 5 dB exchange rate. This means that an employee exposed to a continuous sound level of 90 dB (A) for an 8 hour period would be considered to have a 100% exposure. The 5 dB (A) exchange rate is used to determine the exposure time for progressively higher sound pressure levels. Table 1 below lists the time allowed for 100% exposure for a specific sound pressure level. 3925 south kalamath street 8420 delmar boulevard englewood, colorodo 80110 st. louis, missouri 63124 (303) 761-4367 ,6: 2- ry (314) 991-1800 Ty Taylor Sound Pressure Level Surveys Page 2 Sound Pressure Level 90 - dB(A) 100% Exposure Time hours-m%n_ utes_ 8-0 91 92 6-58 i 93 6-4 94 5-17 95 4-36 96 4-0 97 3-29 98 3-2 99 2-50 { 100 2-15 101 2-0 a 102 1-44 103 1-31 k 104 1-19 e 105 1-9 1-0 106 107 0-52 E 108 0-46 109 0-40 0-34 __________110 ____________________0-30 [ Table 1 - Maximum Allowable Ex posure Times (OSHA) I The purpose of the OSHA regulation is to establish requirements that will minimize the risk from exposure f in work places. The re to hazardous noise levels ` regulation enforced by OSHA also mandates that workers exposed to an 8 hour TWA of greater than 85 dB (A) be en- rolled in a hearing conservation program which entails annual auditory testing. The sound pressure level data compiled at the three Vessels ' , ranged from 77 dB (A) to 104 dB (A) . Figures 1 through 9 show tthents • measurement location along with the measurement results and the time for 100% exposure according to the OSHA regulation for the three facilities. Most of the buildings had large overhead doors and 06',3287 engineering cyr ^s Ty Taylor Sound Pressure Level Surveys Page 3 measurements were performed with the doors open and with the doors closed . The Space City Plant has large openings in the exterior skin of the compressor building. If the openings were eliminated the sound pressure levels in the compressor building would be ex- pected to increase about 3 to 6 dB ( ) . As can be seen from the measurement results many locations at the three plants experience relatively high sound pressure levels. This fact is mitigated by the low occupancy time of employees in these areas, which minimizes the noise exposure for a given area. However, employees should, as a matter of safety, be aware of the potential health risks in these areas. One way of accomplishing this is the posting of signs at the entrances of these buildings stating that the area is a high noise area and ear protecting de- vices are recommended for prolonged exposure. If you should have any questions regarding these measurements or if we may be of service to you in the future, please contact me at your convenience. Very truly yours, ENGINEERING DYNAMICS, INC.

The results of this investigation indicate that light to moderately loaded structures may be founded on shallow spread footings and should experience tolerable settlements. Heavily loaded foundations or settlement sensitive structures should be supported by drilled piers founded in the claystone bedrock. Estimated settlements for large storace tanks have been developed assuming a normal ring wall foundation system. If the magnitude of these settlements is beyond what is tolerable by the structures, additional studies will be required to develop suitable alternate foundation systems . The surficial soils are moisture sensitive and tend to rut easily. Therefore, rock or gravel base for roadways and floor slabs will be required. Additional details concerning the field and laboratory investigation, subsurface conditions and geotechnical recommendations and construction considerations are contained in the body of this report.

E:;G:.,E_ ,_ ;S PROPERTIES A series of laboratory tests were performed to determine the engineerinc properties of the various strata encountered. This testing consisted of determining the natural moisture content, dry density, plasticity, and swell/- _ consolidat ionproperties of representative samples. The results of these tests are presented on Figures 3 throe:h 7. an:, Table 1 . The results of the swell/consolidation tests indicate that the overburden soils are normally consolidated and will tend to compress with the addition of loads. In addition, they exhibited a 0.5 to 2. 0 percent consolidation under constant pressure due to saturation. The swell/consolidation tests on the bedrock samples indicated a tendency to swell under light loads. The results of California Sarre] Penetration tests performed in the field indicate the clayey soils are stiff to very stiff and the sandy soils are medium dense to dense in consistency. however, despite the relatively high shear strengths measured in the field, foundation design ( i .e. allowable bearing pressures) will be governed by the compressibility of the subsoils. _%r:I iEERTh',, 1N LYs:5 ?';D =C0".

For heavier structures and grouds of eoui:ment, or where _m iiC ':y loaced equipment is se:`.cl tiVe to settlement, mat foundations may be used. For heavy individual loads, and larger settlement sensitive structures, drilled bier foundations should be used. Each of these foundation systems is di ---seed in detail in the following Nc: c_. aohs . Spread Footings Spread footings may be designed for an allowable gross bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot and should be founded at leas: three feet below final outside grade. They should have a minimum width of 24 inches and a maximum width of 10 feet. Larger footings should be designed as mat foundations. Footings designed in this manner should experience settlements of about 1 inch or less. It is cn LiLi;JaLed that some disturbance of the bearing soils will occur during excavation. The loosened soils should be removed or carefully recompacted before pouring the footing. If loose soils are allowed to remain in the foundation excavation, significant additional settlement could occur. All footing excava- tions should be checked by a soil engineer prior to placing concrete to verify that the proper bearing soilc have been encountered the that footing has been properly prepared. Mat Foundations Footings in excess of 10 feet in width should be designed as mat foundations.

The piers should have a minimum diameter of 18 inches, a minimum shaft length of 2D feet and shoHIH, penetrate at least four feet into bedrock. All pier foundation excavations should be inspected by a soils engineer to verify that the proper bearing stratum has been reached, and that the pier bottom has been properly cleaned. The piers may be designed for a maximum end bearing pressure of 15,000 pounds per square foot and site shear of 1, 500 psf, for the portion of the pier . in firm bedrock . Reinforcing for the piers should be designed for any uplift or lateral loads the piers may be required to carry. Valor and caving soils will be encountered while drilling most of the pier holes. This will require that temporary steel casing be used during pier construction to properly deco and de-water the holes. All pier holes should be filled with low slump concrete immediately after the completion of drilling, cleaning and inspection. Concrete should be available on the site during the pier drilling operations. Concrete should rot be placed when there e e is more than six inches of water in the pier excavation.

For this analysis, werecommend that_ s, a dynamic shear modulus of 10,000 to 13,000 psi be used . The Poisson ' s ratio for the subsoils at the site is expected to be in the range of 0. 3 to 0.4. ROADWAYS/FLOOR SLAES The surficial soils present at the site are subject to rutting upon satura- tion and would not provide a suitable surface for even light vehicle traffic . Similarly, they would not provide a good suborade for floor slabs. We recommend that a six inch laver of gravel be used as a roadway surface and beneath floor slabs. Grading should be desicned to transport water away from the edges of roadways and slabs to minimize infiltration into the native suborade, Some locally poor roadway areas may continue to rut and will require additional travel to stabilize them.
