The remainder of this letter will explain why we are seeking expedited handling of this particular building permit. We are making this request for the following reasons. First, we have obtained the recommendation of approval of the amended special use permit by the Weld County Planning Commission ("WCPC") . We recognize final approval must be subsequently granted by the Weld County Board of Commissioners ("Board") before the permit becomes final. Second, we specifically recognize that, if the requested building permit is issued, any work done on the site prior to final approval of the special use permit by the Board will be performed at our sole risk. Third, we are making this special request in order to better accommodate the needs of the new Denver International Airport ("DIA") regarding relocation of an existing microwave tower by November 1, 1993 . Simply stated, we need to begin construction at the new site to better accommodate DIA' s desired schedule. Fourth, the new tower is critical to the performance of our utility functions. In other words, we cannot dismantle the existing tower until the new tower is operational. The building permit pertains to construction of an approximately 400 foot guyed radio/microwave tower to be constructed at our Dougan compressor station, located in the NW/4 of Section 14-T1N- R66W, Weld County, Colorado, approximately 2. 5 miles southeast of Ft. Lupton, Colorado. The purpose of the proposed tower is for relocation of an antenna and related communication equipment currently located on a tower near the north end of DIA. The DIA has requested relocation and removal of the tower, as required by the United States Federal Aviation Agency, due to the fact that the existing tower represents a safety hazard to air traffic at the new airport. K N Front Range Gathering Company ("KNFRGC") , K N Wattenberg Transmission Limited Liability Company (KNWTLLC") and K N Energy, Inc. ("K N") , have on file and in progress a request with the Weld County Department of Planning Services ("WCDPS") , for amendment to i R , an existing Request for a Site Specific Development Plan, specifically styled AM USR-468. The requested amendment would allow construction of the tower under the proposed terms and conditions provided by the WCDPS, as outlined at the Planning Commission meeting held Tuesday, August 3 , 1993 at 1: 30 P.M. ,on the third floor of the Weld County Centennial Center in Greeley, CO. At the meeting the members of the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend to the Weld County Board of Commissioners ' that the requested amendment be approved. Mr. Lee D. Morrison, Assistant Weld County Attorney, advises that Board approval may take another month or so. At the suggestion of Mr. Morrison because of timing constraints and concerns of the DIA, we respectfully request your issuance of a building permit so that preliminary ground work may begin at the proposed site (i.e. , digging, forming, and pouring of concrete piers needed for tower) . The above-mentioned K N affiliates specifically assume the risk that Board denial of their requested amendment would require the entities at their own expense to remove all new construction and return the ground to its original condition if the Board rejects the amendment. Thank you in advance for your prompt action concerning this matter. Please feel free to call me at our Brighton office at (303) 659- 5922, with your questions. Mr. Morrison has also offered to discuss the pending action with you and suggested that you give him a call as well. Sincerely, K N FRONT RANGE GATHERING COMPANY K N ENERGY, INC.

This investigation was authorized by Bob Wagner of KN r Energy. Included in this investigation were test borings, laboratory testing, and a report of our conclusions and recommendations. The scope of our report was limited to the following: 1) Evaluating the engineering properties of the subsoils E . 2) Recommending types, depths and allowable pressures for f foundation elements. L 3) Presenting recommendations for earthwork and soils related construction with respect to the soils encountered. L The scope of this investigation did not include any environmental assessment for the re:4 presence of hazardous or toxic materials in the soil or groundwater on or near this site. If contamination is suspected or is a concern, it is recommended that the scope of this study be expanded to include an environmental assessment. 'Fhis report was prepared by the firm of Geotechnical Services, Inc. (GSI) under the supervision of a professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado. Recommendations are based on the applicable standards of the profession at the time of this report within this geographic area. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of KN Energy for specific application to the proposed project, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION It is proposed to construct a 400 foot guyed tower with guys at 120 degrees and inner guys at 50-80%of outer radius. While tower loads are not known at this time, they are expected to be within normal loads for this configuration. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located South of the South Platte River in North Central Colorado. The Denver formation is present at the surface. The site is nearly flat and covered with native grasses. A natural gas compressor station is operating on the property adjacent to the site. There has been no development on the proposed site,however a natural gas line runs underground through the site. There is a slight rise on the North side of the site,with elevations changing 5 to 6 feet from South to North. FIELD INVESTIGATIONS The field investigation was conducted on May 13, 1993. The exploratory program consisted of four - (4) test borings drilled at the location shown on the Boring Location Plan (Appendix A). Test borings were located in the field by the drilling crew by pacing distances from features shown on the site plan provided and their location should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. Elevations of the borings were taken from the plans supplied by KN Energy. . L I Test borings were advanced to a depth of 10 and 20 feet below existing grade with a truck mounted Mobile B-57 drill rig using four-inch diameter continuous flight augers. Soil samples were obtained at the sampling intervals shown on the Boring Logs (Appendix B). Undisturbed samples,designated"U"Samples were obtained with thin wall tube samplers,3 inches outside diameter,hydraulically pushed in general accordance with ASTM D1586-84 "Thin Walled Tube Sampling of Soils." California Barrel Samples designated"C"samples were obtained in accordance with ASTM 3550-84, "Ring-Lined Barrel Sampling of soils." the N-value,reported in blows per foot,equals the number of blows required to drive the sampler over the last 12 inches of the sample interval. Split-Barrel Samples,Designated"S"samples,were obtained while performing Standard Penetration Test(STP)with an accordance with ASTM D1586-84 "Penetration Test and Split Barrel Sampling of Soils", the N-Value,reported in blows per foot,equals the number of blows required to drive the sampler over the last 12 inches of the sample interval. The field boring logs were prepared by a representative of GSI in accordance with ASTM D2488-84, "Description of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure)". Stratification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil types,and the transition may be gradual. No water level readings were made in the drill holes at the times and under conditions stated on the Boring Logs. LABORATORY TESTING The field boring logs were reviewed to outline the depths, thicknesses, and extent of soil strata, and a testing program was established to evaluate the engineering properties of recovered samples. Specific test which were performed include moisture content, density determinations, Atterberg Limits, swell-consolidation tests, and grain size testing. All test were conducted in general accordance with current ASTM or state-of-the-art test procedures. Laboratory test results are presented in Appendix D. Based on the results of this testing program, the field logs were reviewed and supplemented as presented in Appendix B. These final logs represent out interpretation of the field logs, and reflect the additional information gained in the laboratory testing program. GSI Job#2108017 3 June 1, 1993 _ S QL4 rey4:4 SUBSOIL CONDITIONS Subsoil conditions encountered consisted of trace amounts of topsoil,underlain by tan silty sands of the Denver Formation. These sands are dry and well sorted containing some silt and clay. Clay content increases with depth. The sands exhibit no swell potential and a moderate to high bearing capacity. Preconsolidation pressure is on the order of 1500 lbs per square foot. The sands extend from the surface to thirteen (13) feet below ground level. A brown silty claystone was encountered at thirteen (13) feet below ground level. The claystone was moist with fair sorting containing sands and silts. This claystone contained calcite at nineteen (19) to twenty (20) feet below ground level. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In general, this site is considered suitable for the proposed construction. Subsoils L, encountered on this site are generally capable of supporting the anticipated loads. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling and should not be a major concern during • or after construction. u _ TOWER FOUNDATION The tower foundation can be shallow spread footing founded in the silty sand or drilled piers socketed into the claystone. f , A net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot may be used to size shallow footings. Footing designed using a net soil bearing pressure of 2,000 per square foot could experience total settlements of 3/4 to 1 inches. GSI Job#2108017 4 June 1, 1993 w, re:4 For drilled piers taken to 12 to 15 feet below existing grade we recommend the use of the following data: Cohesion 0 4) 35 degrees a 0.5 Using this data to analyze a pier drilled to 12 foot below existing grade, a diameter of 18 inches and a factor of safety of 2, we obtain a Q allowable of 10 kips. For drilled piers taken to the claystone we recommend that the piers be socketed into the claystone at least 12 inches. An end bearing value of 20 kips per square foot can used for design of drilled piers meeting this criteria. We estimate negligible settlement will occur with piers socketed into the claystone. Drilled piers should be designed to resist lateral loads using a constant of horizontal subgrade reaction in sands and natural overburden soils of 1.5 TSF and a modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction of 35 TSF in the claystone. The modulus values given are for a long twelve (12) inch diameter drilled pier and must be corrected for pier size. GUY ANCHORS We recommend the following values be used for the guy anchors. Unit Weight Soil Friction Cohesion pcf Angle, 4) (degree) psf N 103.0 37 0.0 S/E 89.3 37 0.0 S/W 103.0 37 0.0 The top of the anchor blocks should rest at least 3.5 feet below grade to prevent loss of passive earth support due to frost action. The blocks should bear against undisturbed natural earth faces, and in no case should bear again backfill soils. ' GSI Job#2108017 5 June 1, 1993 re.-Tic; EARTHWORK AND EXCAVATIONS Prior to site grading, the surface vegetation material should be stripped and stockpiled. In areas to accept fill, the top 6 to 12 inches of ground surface should be scarified and recompacted to eliminate a plane of weakness along the contact surface. New fill or reworked clean cohesive soils should be placed in maximum loose lifts of 8 inches thick and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698-78, Standard Proctor Moisture-Density Relationship. Moisture content at the time of compaction should be controlled to between+2 and-2 percent of the optimum moisture content. Vertical cuts and excavations may stand for short periods of time, but should not be considered stable in any case. All excavations should be sloped back, shored, or shielded for protection of workers. Trenching and excavation activities should conform to federal and local regulations as a minimum. GENERAL In the event that any changes in the nature design, or location of the structure are planned, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and the conclusions of this report modified or verified in writing. The analysis and recommendations submitted in this report are based in part upon the data obtained from the four (4) soil borings. The nature and extent of variation between the borings may not become evident until construction. If variations then appear, it will be necessary to reevaluate the recommendation of this report. It is recommended that the soil and foundation engineer be provided the opportunity for general review of the final design and specification in order that earthwork and foundation recommendations may be properly interpreted and implemented in the design and specifications. It is also recommended that the soil and foundation engineer be retained to provide continuous geotechnical engineering services during construction of the foundation, GSI Job#2108017 6 June 1, 1993 excavation, and earthwork phases of the work. This is to observe compliance with the design concepts,specifications,or recommendations and to modify these recommendations - in the event that subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated.

To Whom It May Concern: We have reviewed the request and find that it does comply with our standards . In addition, there are a few details that we feel are important to mention. Stock Piling Topsoil ******************** The depth of top soil on this site is approximately eight inches, which is what we recommend to be stockpiled. Furthermore, to avoid wind and water erosion we recommend that it be cover with a mulch if it is going to be stockpiled for more than a month. Landscaping and Erosion Control Measures **************************************** Underneath the proposed gravel pad, we recommend that a weed barrier be placed to control weeds . Weed barriers are more effective than plastic because they are made of a fabric material and do not decompose as readily as plastic will . Also, they are more effective at preventing weed growth, and they tend to adhere to the soil surface. Reclamation Procedures Upon Cessation of Use ******************************************** Please see the attached seeding recommendation for the recommended species to seed upon cessation of activity. Prior to seedbed preparation the weed barrier strips should be removed. Then an intensive seedbed preparation will be required due to the heavy nature of equipment used on this site . This primary tillage directly followed by planting and mulching is recommended. All of which should occur in the fall after November first on unfrozen ground. Planting should be done with a grass drill that is equipped with double discs, an agitator box, and depth bands . Mulching should follow planting immediately, and it should consist of a native prairie hay free of weed species . Soil Shrink/Swell Potential Relative to Construction **************************************************** The soil at this site is described as a Valent sand, has only a slight potential for shrink/swell, which should not pose a problem for construction at this site . This concludes our evaluation of the proposed use on this site, and if you have further questions regarding any of the comments made, please feel free to contact us at any time . Thank-you.

Harbert, Chairman Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Dale K. Hall Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison Planning Department representative, Greg Thompson The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated August 16, 1993, and duly published August 19, 1993, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted on September 1, 1993, to consider the request of KN Front Range Gathering Company for a Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Special Review Permit for a natural gas compressor station and 400-foot guyed microwave tower in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record and noted this matter was continued from September 1, 1993, to allow the applicant time to comply with sign posting requirements. Greg Thompson, Planning Department representative, entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written and answered questions from the Board concerning the sign posting. Jean Watson, Attorney representing the applicant, stated this request is to locate a tower in the Wattenberg Field at their gas gathering/compression station site. She explained their existing tower in the Hudson area conflicts with the flight patterns of the new airport; therefore, the airport has requested KN to relocate said tower. Ms. Watson indicated this site will provide microwave communication into both Lakewood and Brighton. In response to questions from Commissioner Webster and Chairman Harbert, Ms. Watson said Development Standards and Conditions of Approval are agreeable, and she indicated there should not be a lot of additional traffic. Kip Greenstreet, also representing the applicant, said the tower needs to be accessed only once every three months for maintenance and tower light inspections required by the FCC, unless there are problems. Responding to further questions from the Board, Mr. Greenstreet indicated no interference with radio and/or television reception is anticipated. He explained the lighting system would be shrouded so the strobe is not seen from the ground. Commissioner Kirkmeyer read concerns of surrounding property owners into the record and requested responses. Mr. Greenstreet explained, concerning the possibility of the tower falling, that the tower is 400 feet tall and the property line surrounds it by 230 feet; therefore, unless the guys were intentionally cut, it would not fall straight out but would fall in a heap in one area. Mr. Thompson stated, concerning the surrounding uses, there is an agricultural subdivision, Patches, to the west and south of the site and all other uses are agricultural. Concerning health hazards, James Hart, Radio Consulting Engineer representing the applicant, explained the energy emitted from this tower is far below FCC requirements. After further explanation, he stated the energy emitted is less than that from a microwave oven. Mr. Hart estimated there are at least 200 towers of this type in or near the Denver area. He indicated the tower is for communications for KN only and explained micro-energy, similar to light, is transferred to other towers. Ms. Watson reiterated the communication is internal and for their company system only. The Board stated further concerns about surrounding property owners' television reception. Mr. Hart said the frequencies of satellite dishes and antennas are both above the frequency of the tower; therefore, l ` 930921 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - KN FRONT RANGE GATHERING COMPANY PAGE 2 there should be no interference. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Thompson said there was not a specific recommendation from the Office of Emergency Management. Nick Pijoan, of the City of Denver, said the FAA indicated the current tower is too tall and asked KN to relocate it. He said Burlington Northern Railroad has also been asked to relocate one of its towers, which he believes Weld County will use for emergency services. Linda McKenna, John McKenna, Dean Secord, Joyce Thaden, and Lydia Johann voiced concerns about effects of the tower and its strobe lighting on their animals, views, radio and television reception, property values, and health. They also stated road conditions have worsened and traffic has increased and questioned why this site was chosen. Ms. Watson responded by summarizing the surrounding property owners' concerns and reiterating that the lighting will be shrouded and there is no scientific basis for problems with television reception or animals. She said the tower was strategically placed so only one tower was necessary, and the dispatching will be done from Brighton. Ms. Watson stressed the fact that KN has every intention of being a good neighbor. There was discussion concerning the height of the base of the tower, which will be on top of Smith Mound, compared to the height of the houses. Responding to questions from the Board, Ms. Watson reiterated the radiation emitted would be less than released from a microwave oven, and Mr. Greenstreet indicated FCC requires the top of tower to be lighted with two more sets of lights one-third of the way down the tower. He estimated the first shrouded light to be at 133 feet. In response to questions from Commissioners Webster and Baxter, Ms. Watson said she has had no personal experience, as KN's attorney, nor has she any personal knowledge of any protective agreements for adverse effects. She stated it would be greatly appreciated if this project could be moved on, because the airport is waiting and the time table is an imminent problem. Commissioner Webster moved to approve the request of KN Front Range Gathering Company for a Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Special Review Permit for a natural gas compressor station and 400-foot guyed microwave tower in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record. He stated the proposal has been researched with great expertise and requested KN to be a good neighbor and maintain continual contact with the people in the area. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter, who stated he would be more comfortable with assurance that KN would consider and follow up on any problems in the area. Ms. Watson made that assurance and reiterated their intent to be a good neighbor. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she would vote against the motion because of the incompatibility with the present and future development. On a roll-call vote, the motion carried four to one, with Commissioner Kirkmeyer voting nay. This Certification was approved on the 20th day of September, 1993. mad, APPROVED: ATTEST: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to he Board By:(2111,4j0.-(, Constance L.
