H. Webster, Chairman Commissioner Dale K. Hall, Pro-Tem Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Constance L. Harbert Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer - EXCUSED Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison Planning Department representative, Gloria Dunn The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated July 6, 1994, and duly published July 14, 1994, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Vessels Oil and Gas Company for a Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Special Review Permit for expansion of an existing natural gas processing plant in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Gloria Dunn, Planning Department representative, entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. She stated Conditions of Approval #3 and Its, concerning the drainage plan and the projected water requirements, were met prior to scheduling said hearing before the Board. Ms. Dunn provided the Board with a copy of the Public Works Department's referral response concerning drainage. Steven Smith, Engineer for Vessels Oil and Gas Company, represented the applicant and stated Vessels has been operating at the site for 18 years, which has been processing since 1983, with an expansion in 1988. He explained a portion of the property was leased to Conquest in 1983, and a brine water facility was approved for Conquest in 1993. Mr. Smith noted this amendment was completed at the recommendation of the Planning Department, and the current work would be more limited than what was approved in 1988. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Smith indicated all brine would be contained in storage tanks and bermed; however, he clarified the brine water facility is operated by Conquest not Vessels, and it has already been approved by the Board. He also clarified the Amended Permit being heard today is for expansion of Vessels' natural gas processing. Mr. Smith confirmed that natural gas is an odorless product, and, when propane is produced for commercial sale, the odor is added while it is in the truck. Responding to further questions from the Board, Mr. Smith explained the facility operates 24 hours per day; however, loading operations are allowed from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. , with an alarm sounding if there is traffic in the yard after the allowed times. He stated there is compression at the site which emits the noise, but a noise survey has been done and all Development Standards concerning noise levels are in compliance. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Mr. Smith confirmed that all existing accesses will remain the same, and he stated the trucking will actually decrease since natural gas will be produced on site and a pipeline to Amoco has been added. He noted Weld County Road 19 from Weld County Roads 4 to 6 was paved in 1989 pursuant to a road improvements agreement required by the Amended Permit approved in 1988. Mr. Smith also confirmed all Conditions of Approval and Development Standards are acceptable. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the request of Vessels Oil and Gas Company for a Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Special Review Permit for expansion of an existing natural gas processing plant 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. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously. 940685 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - VESSELS OIL AND GAS COMPANY PAGE 2 This Certification was approved on the 1st day of August, 1994. • ��/��'I/GZq BOARDVOD: ATTEST: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to thg Board f�� y UlL�1 BY: 1r�1`-Yc- A _ Cc _ W.

Drainage from the plant proper is to the northeast toward thestorage tank battery area. The area is presently harmed and provides for collected water to be channeled toward the sump(shown on drawing). The sump provides for controlled discharge to the borrow ditch running along WCR 19. Berms are shown in red on the attached diagram. Existing berms are not adequate to hold runoff as calculated for a oneitour 100 year_event and will-be built up to a height of 2 feet. This will provide adequate containment. These berms will beshown on the final plat when it is submitted. I will note that_the low area you discussed in your 12/29/93 memo to G.Dunn of Weld County Planning Services has been filled and should no longer provide an area for water to accumulate. The entire area in question will again be recontoured as part of site restoration subsequent to the drilling of the Conquest Oil Company brine disposal well. Should you have any questions please contactme at(303)659-6534. Sincerely..--- Steven D.

Compute the hourly rate of rainfall Two common relations, called the Talbot formulis. used to compute the hourly rate of rainfall R in./hr are R = 360/(t+30) for the heaviest storms, and R= 105/(t+15) for : ordinary storms, where t = time of concentration. min. Using the equation for the heaviest storms because this relation gives a larger flow rate and produces a more -= conservative design, R = 360/(15+30) = 8 in./hr. 2. Compute the storm-water runoff rate Apply the rational method to compute the runoff rate. This method uses the relation ,) Q=AIR, where Q= storm-water runoff rate, cu ft/sec; A = area served by sewer, acres; I = coefficient of runoff or percent of imperviousness of the area; other symbols as before. Substituting,Q= (40)(0 50)(S)= 160 cfs. 3. Compute the effect of changed imperviousness Planting a lawn on a large part of the site will increase the imperviousness of the soil. This means that less rainwater will reach the sewer because the coefficient of imperviousness of a lawn is louver. Table 9 lists typical coefficients of imperviousness for various surfaces. This tabulation shows that the coefficient for lawns varies from 0.05 to 0.25. Using a value of 1= 0.10 for the 40(0.75) =30 acres of lawn, :- 6 Q= (30) (0.10)(8)= 24 cfs. TABLE 9 Coefficient of Runoff for Various Surfaces 1i Surface Coefficient Parks,g;vdens,lawns,meadows 0.05-0.45 Gravel roads and w:ilks 0.15-0.30 --�- Slacadamized roadways 0.25-0.60 _ v" Inferior block pavements withuncemented 0.40-0.50 joints 0410-0.50 Stone,brick,and wood-block pavements with tightly cemented joints 0.75-0.85 Same with uncemented jm nts 0.504)70 Asphaltic pavements in good condition 0.85-0.90 VVatertight roof surfaces 0.70-0.95 The runoff for the remaining 10 acres is. as in Step 2, Q= (10)(0.5)(8)=40 cfs. t' Hence, the total runoff is 24+40= 64 cfs. This is 160—64= 96 cfs less than when the lawn was not used. Related Calculations: The time of concentration for any area being drained by a sewer is the time required for the maximum runoff rate to develop. It is also defined yr• as the time for a drop of water to drain from the farthest point of the watershed to the - sewer. When rainfall continues for an extended period,T min,the coefficient of impervious- ness changes. For impervious surfaces such as watertight roofs, I = Tl(8+T). Fortis;. improved pervious surfaces, I = 0.3T/(20+T). These relations can be used to compute i the coefficient in areas of heavy rainfall. Equations for R for various areas of the United States are available in Steel—Water • -• 940695 i i Az • 4 .-._--Z ' __,_7 Ill — //7"./77"7/71—//1 Ile c, / m d r / ` / / I 4a / k / D.

Dear Sir; 1n -response to the notification for comment on the above noted case, the following comments and concerns are provided. 1. Because of the additional fire load presented which is planned to be handled by the existing Vessels fire-water line, the water line must be completed in a loop situation from the south line to the north line. 2. :Because of the need to supply fire protection water supply to the Conquest Oil - brine water facility, a second loop extending from -the existing Vessels south fire-water line must be installed which will supply water to a fire hydrant located adjacent to the Conquest Oil facility. Size of the looping piping to be consistent with the existing fire-water line. Exact location of the hydrant will be determined during the plan review of the Conquest Oil - brine water facility. (Please note that the site plans, construction plans, and operation plans for the Conquest facility have not been submitted to this office for review and approval as of this date. ) 3. Depending on the hazard created by the addition of the Conquest facility, additional water storage capacity may be required in the Vessel's fire-water system. This determination will be based on information presented in the Conquest facility construction plans and • operational plans. EXHIBIT -425 South Main Street • Brighton, Colorado 80601 • 659-4101 �� -age 2 -4. Also Conquest operational plan dependent, the distance from the Conquest facility to any Vessel installation, existing or future, may be limited. In any situation, the minimum distance from the Conquest facility to any Vessel Oil facility, storage tank, or loading area can be no less than 125 feet. Should there be any questions concerning these comments please do not hesitate to contact this office. Thank You for this opportunity to respond. Resp ull l i o LI b t Parker Fire Marshal 940695 flit"; MEMORAnDUM Wi`k Gloria Dunn To Date npramher 99, 1993 COLORADO From Donald Carroll Subject: Vecsnls (111 and Gaa Co AM TTSR - 589-2 I visited this site in November, 1993, to take a look at the Conquest Oil and Gas facility. This would be a facility within the Vessels' site. Also on that trip, I drove around and took a look at the Vessels' site and the accesses. I have the following comments on the Vessels operation: Item #19 Design Standards - The applicant is indicating that no additional entrances or exists from the sites are planned as a part of the expansion or the Conquest development. Item #13 Storm-Water Retention - The applicant is indicating the Vessels Oil and Gas planned expansion would include removing and relocating existing equipment and installing new equipment and buildings. They are also making a statement there will be no impact on the existing storm-water retention facility due to the plant expansion. They are saying the site is essentially level and no large quantities of water collect. On my field investigation there was a very large lake of water located just south of the gas storage tanks. The USR regulations request storm-water retention facility should be provided on site. I would like to have the applicant provide a storm-water retention facility on site at this location. I am requiring Conquest Oil, which has their new facility just south of the proposed detention pond, to provide a detention pond for their facility so not to impact the site any more than it is. I would like to see the detention facility placed on the existing map and designated as a detention area. cc: Commissioner Baxter File USR-589-2 IR Die 3 0 1993 mglorial.pds pds 1*Vlt";`'— "Q"" 1Plannlp, 4.

Dunn: We are in agreement with the permit request . In addition, we would like to make some comments regarding the Soil Erosion Control and Maintenance Plan, exhibit "F" , item V. Cover Crop ********** Due to recent studies on soil moisture availability in this area, it is best to plant a cover crop from mid-May to mid- June, instead of June first to July first, as originally stated. Grass Seed Mixture ****************** Listed on the enclosed sheet are the seeding rates for the grass species that you have chosen to use (seeding mixture #1) . I have also enclosed another sheet that lists a separate seed mixture which contains both native and introduced cool and warm season species, as well as a combination of sod forming and bunch grass species (seeding mixture #2) . We believe mixture #2 could establish itself very well in this area. Even if you do not choose to plant seeding mixture #2 , do not plant an annual ryegrass as is stated on exhibit "F" , item V, section E. Annual ryegrass tends to dominate other species by out competing them for nutrients . It has rapidly become a pest plant in this area that is extremely difficult to control . EXHIBIT -Brine Facility Our only other area of concern is the installation of a Brine facility to be operated by Conquest Oil . It is our understanding that it will come under a separate review, at which time we would like to have the opportunity to comment . If there are any questions, please feel free to contact us at the above number. Thank-you.

Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for your letter of December 10. The -Board of County Commissioners has reluctantly approved the request to issue the building permits prior to approval of a Site Specific -Development Plan and an Amended Special Review permit. The Board' s reluctance was due in part to the fact that Vessels Oil and Gas Company should be familiar with the County' s land-use regulations and the time involved with the permitting processes. The Board solicits the review of referral agencies and encourages the participation of affected citizens before a final decision is reached on a land-use application. Vessels Oil and Gas Company should not request or expect "special consi-deration" that evades the intent of the Special Review permit hearing process in the future. The Board's approval is conditional upon the following: 1. All activities conducted on the property are at Vessels Oil and Gas Company' s own risk; 2. The only _construction activities -permitted are those described on the issued building permits; 3. All _construction shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Weld County Building Code Ordinance; 4. Vessels Oil and Gas Company will comply with any other County, State, or Federal requirements which may apply to the use of the property; and 4 EXHIBIT Vessels Oil and Gas Company December 20, 1-993 Page 2 5. Vessels Oil and Gas Company will comply -with any conditions of approval identified during the Site Specific development Plan and Amended Special Review permit process. 6.

If you agree to the Board' s foregoing conditions, please respond in writing that you understand the conditions and they are acceptable to you.

Smith Engineer Enclosures 940685 APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT 1. DESCRIPTION OF USE Vessels Oil & Gas (VOG) wishes to expand its existing natural gas processing and natural gas liquids fractionation facility currently operating at this site under USR 589- Amended. VOG has utilized the site for more than 17 years as the location of its main plant and field operations office. The original Use by Special Review #256 was granted in 1974. VOG plant expansion includes the removal and/or relocation of certain existing equipment items and the installation of new equipment including: a. Propane refrigeration compression units and associated chillers and accumulator vessels b. Residue gas compression units c. Inlet gas and gas gathering compression units d. Inlet gas filtering and dehydration equipment,including filter vessels,contacter vessels, regenerators and solid bed dehydration units and heaters e. Natural gas processing skids with associated pump surge vessels and pumps f. Natural gas liquids processing/treating equipment including contacter vessels, heaters/regenerators, stripper vessels, and heat exchange equipment g. Natural gas liquids pumping equipment and associated surge vessels h. Natural gas and natural gas liquids flow measurement equipment i. Utility racks j. Miscellaneous piping, electrical, and instrumentation equipment k. Steel building enclosures for certain equipment In addition to the VOG plant expansion VOG has leased a portion of the site to Conquest Oil for the construction of a brine water disposal well facility. The Conquest proposal would entail the installation of tanks, water treating equipment, pumps, and small buildings. The Conquest proposal is under separate review by Weld County. Details of installation for the VOG expansion and the Conquest Oil facility can be found on the plot plan included as Exhibit M in this application package. The VOG plant expansion does not differ in substance from that approved under USR 589-Amended in 1988 and is in fact more limited in scope. Certain deviations from the approved 1988 plan in equipment location and equipment specifics in addition to the Conquest Oil proposal prompted the Weld County Office of Planning Services to require that VOG amend USR 589-Amended for the program under consideration. This request is appended as Exhibit G to this application. 1 940685 2. NEED FOR USE -The VOG plant expansion is necessitated by VOG's continued growth in Weld County and the Wattenberg area through its drilling, production, gas gathering and gas processing operations. Facility expansion will allow increased natural gas production and sales from new and existing wells located primarily in Weld County. Providing Conquest Oil a location for a produced water disposal facility will satisfy a real demand in the area for additional water disposal capacity. 3. EXISTING USES ON SURROUNDING PROPERTY Property surrounding the site is primarily used for agricultural purposes. Immediately west and adjacent to the site is a natural gas compression station operated by Associated Natural Gas, Inc. Immediately to the south and east is a major gas compression/blending station owned and operated by the Public Service Company of Colorado. Exhibits B and M accompanying this application package provide specifics as to the exact location of these surrounding uses. 4. RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES ADJACENT TO THE SITE Four areas containing residential structures are located within 1/2 mile of the USR property under consideration. These are shown on an Aerial Survey appended as Exhibit B to this application. The closest residential units are located 750 feet from the property line. The other units are located more than 2000 feet from the property line. Most of the adjacent residential units are in fact closer to the Associated Natural Gas and Public Service Company installations than to the VOG property under consider- ation. 2 S40695 5. ACCESS ROUTES TO PLANT The following summarizes access routes to the facility that are used by employees and other users of or visitors to the site. This summary will be referenced in later parts of -this application. Route Description 1 Interstate 25 to WCR #6, WCR #6 east to WCR #19, WCR #19 south to facility 2 Highway 85 to WCR #6, WCR #6 west to WCR #19, WCR #19 south to facility 3 Interstate 25 to WCR #2, WCR #2 east to WCR #19, WCR #19 north to facility -4 Highway 85 to WCR #2, WCR #2 west to WCR #19, WCR #19 north to facility 5 Colorado Highway 7 to Yosemite St., Yosemite St. north to WCR #2, WCR #2 west to WCR #19, WCR #19 north to facility It should be noted that in 1989, as a condition of approval of USR 589-Amended, VOG bore the cost of paving the section of WCR #19 from WCR #6 to WCR #4. This and other VOG commitments to road maintenance in the area are referenced in Exhibit E appended to this application. 6. USER DATA Liquid products are moved into and out of the VOG facility by tanker truck. At present 27 different companies transport product into and out of the VOG facility on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The average daily number of loads hauled to or from the VOG facility for 1993 through November was 21. The maximum number of loads entering and leaving the facility in one day during this same period was 37. In general transport hauls full one way and empty the other way. The empty weight of these tanker trucks varies from 29,000 to 43,600 pounds. When loaded the transports weigh from 75,600 to 85,000 pounds. Tanker trucks and their drivers generally remain on site for about one hour. 3 940695 VOG expects the number of transports entering the facility with product for fractionation to decrease with expansion due to the natural gas processing facility's production of more natural gas liquids for fractionation at the site. This could drop the average number of transport trips to the facility by 5 or more per day. The following gives a best current estimate of routes utilized by transport vehicles entering and leaving the facility: Route Use 1 19% 2 B0% 5 21% Representatives of suppliers and service companies supporting VOG operations periodically visit the site. Most of these visits involve the use of passenger vehicles and occur during weekday normal working hours. VOG estimates that about 300 such visits occur per month with each visitor remaining at the site 1/2 hour on average. The following gives the best current estimate of access routes used by supplier and service company representatives: Route Use 1 35% 2 13% 3 12% 4 40% Representatives of companies to which VOG sells natural gas and natural gas liquid products visit the site on a regular basis to inspect measurement and control equipment on site. On average the VOG site receives 8 such visits daily, almost exclusively during normal daylight working hours. Duration of stay for these visitors at the site is 1/2 hour. The following gives the best current estimate of access routes used by representatives of companies to which VOG sells natural gas or natural gas liquids: Route Use 1 5% 2 25% 3 5% 4 £5% 4 940695 Installation of the Conquest Oil facility at the site will primarily increase tanker-type truck traffic to the site. Conquest has estimated to VOG that the brine disposal facility will process 30-60 loads per day, these trucks arriving full and leaving empty. Conquest has indicated to VOG that it will limit users of its facility to the use of Routes 1 and 2 described above. 7. EMPLOYEE DATA The expanded VOG facility will operate, as does the existing facility, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The facility is attended at all times. Shift employees are rotated through two shifts per day, 7 days per week while most other employees work regular day work weeks. Maintenance employees work 5 day weeks with rotation that provides daytime maintenance staffing 7 days per week. The total number of full time VOG employees working out of or at the location is 41. The average number of VOG temporary employees working at the site is 2. The site serves as a field office and base of operations for VOG's well pumping and gas gathering operations. The 14 field personnel based at the site (included in the 41 total mentioned above) spend an average of 2 hours per day at the site and the remainder of the day at various field locations. VOG is not planning any increase in facility staffing as the result of expansion. The approximate number of regular employees working at the VOG site by shift is summarized below: Day Shift Overnight Shift Weekday 20 1 Weekend 3 1 Employees reach the site in passenger vehicles. The approximate breakdown of VOG employee access by route is given below: Route Use 1 30% 2 35% 3 15% 4 20% 5 940685 The approximate breakdown of routes taken by VOG field employees working away from the site during the workday is given below: Route -Use 1 23% 2 25% 3 26% 4 26% S. WATER SUPPLY Water is used at the facility for domestic purposes only. Bottled drinking water is purchased from an outside supplier for employee consumption. Water is not used in the natural gas processing or natural gas liquids fractionation process. Domestic water is supplied from a well on site, permitted by the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources under well permit #018674. VOG plant expansion will result in no increase in domestic water consumption at the site. The installation of the Conquest Oil facility will slightly increase domestic water consumption, as VOG intends letting Conquest utilize water from its well for reasonable domestic use. There is water available under permit #018674 for this. A copy of the original water well permit and other pertinent information regarding the water supply at the site is appended to this application as Exhibit D. 9. SEWAGE FACILITIES Existing septic systems consist of concrete septic tanks and leach fields. Permits for these systems are on file with the Weld County Department of Health. These systems are more than adequate for present and planned use and no modification in this area is planned. 10. FIRE PROTECTION AND SECURITY The site is located within the jurisdiction of the Brighton Fire Protection District. VOG has in the past and will in the future coordinate fire safety measures at the site with the BFPD. Hand held and large wheeled fire extinguishers are located throughtout the facility, all being rated a minimum eighty (80) BC. Additional fire extinguishers will be located at sites approved by the Brighton Fire Protection District. A system is in place to supply water for fire protection to hydrants at various locations in the VOG plant area. 6 940685 Continuous combustible gas detection monitors are located inside all buildings where hazardous vapors are handled. This detection system automatically activates staged shutdown of equipment in the event significant levels of hazardous vapor concentra- tions appear. All new building enclosures meeting the above vapor criterion will be equipped with similar systems. Liquid storage vessels are bermed in accordance with Weld County Health Department and Brighton Fire Protection District requirements to contain spills of material should these occur. No additional liquid storage equipment is planned for the VOG facility. Extra liquid storage approved in USR 589-Amended will not be installed at the site. All existing vessels, piping, etc. at the facility are identified as to content by UN number designations and proper names. This practice will be applied to expanded facilities. Site security is achieved through 24 hour a day attendance by operations personnel and through a six foot high chain link fence surrounding the facility. Addresses for the facility are posted along and clearly visible from the adjacent Weld County roadways. 11. CONCENTRATIONS OF ANIMALS There will be no animal use of any kind on the facility site. 12. STORAGE AREAS Equipment and material storage areas are indicated on the Special Review Permit plan plot appended as Exhibit M to this application. No new storage areas are planned for the site and the extent of the area set aside for storage has been scaled back from that approved in USR 589-Amended approved in 1988. Existing storage areas are used for pipe and equipment inventory. They are generally gravelled. Weeds are controlled through the use of chemical spraying and routine mowing. 13. STORM WATER RETENTION There will be no impact on the existing storm water retention facilities due to plant expansion. The site is essentially level and large quantities of water do not collect. Water runoff which does occur is drained from the site into a central holding location from which it can be pumped at a controlled rate into the county road right of way ditch to the west of WCR #19. No water retention problems have been encountered during the history of facility operation. 7 2406,35 14. WASTE REMOVAL Solid waste removal is performed by third party sanitation firms on a contracted routine schedule. Dumpsters are located throughout the site for disposal of trash and scrap metal. All waste and debris is removed from the site as quickly as is practicable. 15. LANDSCAPING Plans for landscaping the site were specified in Development Standard #8 of permit USR 589:85:62 and carried forward to the 1988 USR 589-Amended. 1'he specification reads: "Should the developed area of Brighton approach one-half(112) mile of the subject site, landscaping shall be planted along all property boundaries visible from the developed areas." 16. SOIL EROSION CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE A Soil Erosion Control and Maintenance Plan was recommended by the West Adams Soil Conservation District in 1986 for the subject USR site. This plan has been in effect since that time and will be continued. The Soil Erosion Control and Maintenance Plan is appended to this application as Exhibit F. 17. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE VOG proposes to complete all the major process skid and fractionation plant installa- tions/modifications by mid-1994. Installation of additional inlet gas and gas gathering compression will be determined by field production developments. 18. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS a. Weld County Compreshensive Plan and District Intent The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan and the district in that it will contribute to the welfare of the county and the citizens of the county without adverse effects on-the environment. b. Conservation of Agricultural Land The expanded use will provide for the conservation of all possible agricultural land area. 8 940695 c. Health, Safety and Welfare All possible provisions will be made to protect the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the area and the county. The facility has been designed to allow proper equipment operations while at the same timeproviding maximum safety to the public and to employees. d.

Lupton Facility I. General The following plan has been developed in order to prevent soil erosion on Vessels Oil & Gas Company' s Ft. Lupton facility site and to maintain such control in the future. II. Construction During the construction process for the facility, every effort will be made to minimize soil disturbance in the area, and to preserve and replace all top soil. Disturbed areas will be monitored to assure that washing or erosion does not occur prior to planting as required and described in the following sections. III. Heavy Use Areas and Areas Surrounding Buildings All heavy use areas and areas surrounding buildings will be surfaced with road base and gravel to stabilize the surface. Gravel areas are shown on the special review permit plan map attached as Exhibit "M" . Weeds in gravel areas will be controlled by periodic chemical spraying. Vessels Oil & Gas Company will maintain the gravel areas through grading and replacement of gravel as may be required to prevent erosion. Such gravel areas shall include the access roadways, parking areas, storage areas, areas surrounding compressor buildings, the areas surrounding electrical meters and transformers, office, shop, and laboratory buildings, process equipment, storage tanks, and all other areas where required. IV. Range Seeding All areas not indicated for gravel surfacing at the site will be seeded in accordance with the Grass Seeding Plan as follows in Section V. All planting and fertilizing shall be done using materials suitable for the soils found on the site and as recommended and guaranteed by experts in the local area. In general, the seeding plan will consist of the planting in 1989 of a mixture of native grasses. Plantings will be scheduled as weather and soil conditions dictate to assume for optimum success. -1- 9406S5 V. Grass Seeding Plan A. Seedbed Preparation 1. Seedbeds shall have satisfactory protection from wind erosion and approved by the local Soil Conservationist. A preparatory stubble cover of sorghum, cane, sudan or milo shall be used to give maximum protection from blowing. a. On sandy lands drill forage sorghum at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre or hybrid sudangrass at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre in rows not to exceed 20 inches, between June 1 and June 30. If more growth is produced than desirable, or if sorghum will produce mature seed, the cover will be clipped to not less than approximately 12-inch stubble height. b. On medium and heavy textured soils, forage sorghum may be planted at the rate of 4 to 8 pounds per acre in rows up to 42 inches wide, between June 1 and June 30 and if stubble is left approximately 18 inches high. 2 . Seedbeds for eco-sites are to be as free as practicable from perennial plant competition. Surface soil at the time of planting is to be reasonably stable and firm with minimized disturbance. B. Methods of grass seed planting 1. Grass shall be planted by means of a grass drill with 7-12 inch spacing and capable of planting fluffy seeds, agitator in drill box, equipped with double disc furrow openers with depth bands and packer wheels. Fluffy and free-flowing grass seeds will be planted directly into a 2-inch cover crop residue without additional seedbed preparation or tillage. The grass drill should be operated as near to the contour as practical. Grass drills and interseeders will be adjusted to plant the seed to a depth of not less than 1/2 inch and not more than 1-inch. C. Planting dates Planting dates are to correspond to the latest period the planting can be accomplished immediately prior to the time when the most dependable precipitation can be expected in the locality. -2- 9406035 Grasses, legumes and other seeded species shall be planted within the seeding periods of November 1 to April 30, with the provision that up to 10 days tolerance from the specified periods may be allowed for the purpose of adapting to local soil moisture conditions. Rocky Mountain penstemon, hairy vetch, milkvetch and Indian ricegrass should be planted in the fall so that freezing and thawing can break seed dormancy for spring germination. No seeding shall occur on frozen soil . D. Seed labeling, quality, and seed testing will be in accordance with the Colorado Seed Law. All seed shall be pure liveseed. Seeding rates shall be at levels required for the soil type present. E. Seeding Mixture 1. The best seeding mixture used shall select the species from the potential plant community that would be dominant for the site. 2 . The following adapted grasses have been recommended: a. Fairway crested wheatgrass b. Tegmar intermediate wheatgrass c. Lincoln smooth brome grass d. Annual ryegrass Due to variation of moisture and soils, both bunchgrass and sod-forming grasses are to be planted. Annual ryegrass is to be used to give quick establishment to protect the soil and slower growing perennials. 3 . Seed Source a. Adapted improved varieties and cultivars of native grasses and forbs will be used when available. b. If not available, native grass seed originating from the same general locality of the planting site may be used. As a rule, the seed should originate not more than 200 to 250 miles south or 100 to 150 miles north and/or 200 miles east or west from where it will be planted. -3- 940685 F. Weed Control Weed control in the perennial seeding is required. Mowing is required the entire first growing season for native species of grass. Mowing should start while undesirable plants are actively growing and before they reach 6 inches in height. Broadleaf weeds may be sprayed the second year while the plants are growing and before reaching 4-6 inches in height. Seeded grasses must be in a 4 leaf stage prior to spraying. Chemicals used will be in accordance with manufacturer' s labeling and recommendations. _G. Fertilization Fertilization shall be applied as required or recommended as a result of soil testing of the planting area. VI. Fencing and Grazing The special review permit area shall be enclosed by a six (6) foot chain link fence with access limited to authorized personnel only. No grazing will be allowed on the site. "VII. Maintenance Vessels Oil & Gas Company agrees to maintain the soil erosion plan and make changes or modifications to the plan as may be required to control soil erosion in the future. 4- 3406% EXH 0317 Cr A 6 rie itl ( \ molui DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES PHONE (303)353-Z45.

Cherry Street, Suite 1220 • Denver, CO 80222 Dear Mr. Gibson: Engineering Dynamics, Inc. has reviewed the proposed multi- compressor installation for the Vessels Oil and Gas Co. plant lo- cated in Weld County near Brighton, Colorado. Sound measurements were performed at an existing compressor and the results corre- lated with noise data from the manufacturer of the proposed units to calculate the position of the resulting 65 dB(A) noise con- tour. The 65 dB(A) contour is that line beyond which noise levels from the plant will not exceed 65 dB(A) and is the permis- sible level for lands zoned as light industrial defined by the Colorado State Statutes. Proposed Compressor Installation: The theoretical analysis was performed using the following assumptions - 1 ) that the new proposed units have the same -cooling requirements as the existing air injection compres- sor unit and therefore require a fan which would produce similar noise levels if sized of the same diameter and 2 ) that a 10 dB reduction in noise level is obtainable by using a larger diameter fan with lower blade top speeds. Prelimi- nary calculations showed that if cooling fans similar to the one presently used for the air injection compressor located on the western plant boundary that the 65 dB(A) -contour would fall approximately 520 feet from the new installation and 270 feet inside the neighboring agriculturally zoned property. Therefore the analysis was repeated using the quieter fan sound power levels. The 65 dB(A) contour resulting from this analysis is shown on Figure 1 . It can be seen that the contour lies entirely within the Vessels Oil and Gas property line. The contour of Figure 1 is rep- resentative of the worst case contour for the new installa- tion of one row of 8 compressors and 2 additional units to be located slightly to the north-east, all facing west. For a 2 - 5 year period before the entire installation is com- plete and operational, the contour will encompass less area than that shown on Figure 1 . Not shown on this Figure is that 65 dB(A) contour associated with the existing air in- jection compressor ( see next paragraph) . 3925 south kalamath street 21 charleville rd. englewood, Colorado 80110 rathmines (303) 761-4367 dublin 6, ireland 940695 Mr. Ray Gibson, Project Engineer Proposed Multi-compressor Installation for the Vessels Oil and Gas Co. Page 2 Existing Compressor Installation: The present noise levels around the Weld County plant are dominated on the west side by the existing air injection -compressor unit. The 65 dB(A) contour associated with the unit is shown on Figure 2. The contour includes the effect of a smaller compressor located just to the north. This unit will be removed when the new compressors are installed. The contour of Figure 2 can be seen to extend beyond the property boundary an approximate distance of 250 feet. The noise control required to retract the contour totally within the property line would consist of a noise berm 30 feet in height. Because of the expense of such a structure it is recommended that alternative solutions be investigated before resorting to this one.

While it is understood that the equipment configuration for the proposed expansion has not been finalized, the approximate size of the expansion is fairly well known. These estimates of your final equipment configuration have been used to do an initial assessment of the air quality impact from your facility to the surrounding area. As required by the Colorado Department of Health, this assessment included both existing and the proposed sources. This letter discusses the findings of that assessment. Air Quality _ Existing Conditions Vessels Oil & Gas Company is proposing to expand their natural gas processing facilities at their Fort Lupton Plant located in Weld County. This expansion would increase their production capacity at the facility. The proposed expansion scheduled to be phased in over the next 18 months, is subject suitwhat to market conditions. At this facility, the primary sources of emissions to the almusphere are natural gas fired compressors and natural gas fired heaters. Currently onsite there are fourteen emission sources, all having the necessary air emission permits issued by the Colorado Department of Health (CDH). The State of Colorado requires all sources with emissions greater than one ton per year to file with the state and receive an emission permit. Table 1 presents the listing of currently permitted sources at the Fort Lupton facility. When an application for an air emission permit is made to the CDH, the applicant must demonstrate that the applicable state and federal air quality standards will not be exceeded. After the application is filed, the state reviews the analysis for its technical canpleteness, and either grants or denies the permit based on State's determination as to whether the source, with all surrounding sources included, will exceed state or federal standards. The primary pollutants emitted by the compressors and heater are nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. By far, the most Trinity Place, Suite 700 • 1801 Broadway • Denver, Colorado 80202 • (303) 293-2703 940695 March 16, 1988 Page 2 restrictive of the pollutants in terms of emissions in relation to the applicable standards is nitrogen dioxide. Table 1 presents the nitrogen dioxide emission inventory at the Fort Lupton facility. As can be seen, the currently permitted total enission for nitrogen dioxide are 233 tons per year (TPY). Table 2 presents the emissions inventory for the existing sources for carbon monoxide. As can be soon, the emission total is less than half of the NO2 missions. The state and Federal standard for nitrogen dioxide is 100 ug/m3 figured as an annual arithmetic average. Carbon monoxide has two short term standards - the first is the one hour standard at 40,000 ug/m (35 parts per million) and the second, an eight hour standard, equal to 10,000 ug/m (8 parts per million). The standard for volatile organic compounds is linked to the ozone standard, a one hour average maximum not to exceed 160 ug/m (120 part per billion). Air quality standards are set by the EPA and the states. The standards are set at the federal level for the protection of the general public welfare with a margin for safety. As a result, the state standard may be more restrictive than the federal standards but can not be less restrictive. It is these health and public welfare standards that any source locating in Colorado must be perform analysis to demonstrate that the source will not exceed these values. Dispersion Modeling - Initial Estimates As part of the initial analysis of this project, the existing sources at the facility were modeled using a CCOH approved dispersion ccmputer m&x3el, namely the Industrial Source Complex model. This model is an accepted Gaussian dispersion model for simulating stack plume downwash which is generally the cause of the maximum concentration around a facility with relatively low stacks. In addition to modeling the sources at the Fort Lupton Plant, sources from other operators close by were also nL.deled. Western Gas Supply Company (West Gas) has a compression station to the southeast of the Fort Lupton plant and Amoco has a compressor and heater to the west of the facility. These sources along with their permitted emission rates (obtained from the files at the CDH) were included in the modeling to establish existing ambient concentrations around the area. Results fran this initial modeling indicate that the existing estimated maximum concentrations are in the range of 35 to 40 ug/m . The highest concentrations occurs in a small area close to the facility and represent the maximum estimated concentration around the facility. This impact also included the contribution of the Azwx..o and West Gas sources. To assess the effects of the facility on the future ambient concentrations as predicted by the dispersion model, the background concentration must also be added to the number referenced in the preceding paragrap3h. The background concentration is estimated by the CDH to be about 8 ug/m Rased FI1LL dI c i 940685 March 16, 1988 Page 3 on the number used in the west Gas permit application made to the state in the first couple months of 1987. Adding this to the estimated maximum impact brings the estimated existing maximum impact receptor to about 45 to 50 ug/m . Dispersion Modeling - Estimates with Expansion The expansion is estimated to have annual emissions approximately equal to those of the existing facility emissions. The impact however will not be twice that of the existing facility since the point of maximuun impact will be a function of the stack heights, exit velocities and distance to the fence line from the respective source. Initial dispersion model results for the expansion ind4.cate that the expected impact is around 20 ug/m3. Again this 20 ug/m represents a maximum point of impact. Combining all the existing, proposed and other operator sources into one computer run produces an estimated maxinumrpoint of impact of 55 to 60 ug/m without background or 65 to 70 ug/m with background. Permits - New Proposed Sources As previously mentioned, the state of Colorado will require emission permits on all the sources proposed to be added to the new facility. In the permit application package, the ambient federal and state standards must be addressed with documented dispersion model runs which demonstrate that these standards will not be exceeded. The state will also technically review the application package. In almost all cases, the CDOH will independently uicxdel the existing facility along with the proposed expansion to prove to their satisfaction that no standards will be exceeded. The review engineer will either approve or deny the permit application based on whether ambient concentrations are expected to meet air quality standards after the proposed expansion is in place. • In addition, Vessels Oil & Gas is carmitted to placing the hest available control devices on the equipment being installed as part of this expansion. Control devices are designed to keep the emission of the pollutant they are designed to remove as low as possible. In most cases, they are proposing catalytic converters to keep NO2 emissions at a minimum. The catalytic control devices proposed at this facility have a proven history of reliable operation with removal efficiencies of greater than 90 percent. Carbon Monoxide All the discussion presented so far in the letter has dealt with emission levels and project ambient levels from NO2. As mentioned before, carbon monoxide emissions from the facility will be somewhat less that the NO2 emissions. But the major difference between these two pollutants is the fIlECO c i 940695 March 16, 1988 Page 4 standard for carbon monoxide is 100 tines higher than that of NO2. It is true that the standard is a short term standard, but short term maximum concentrations can be estimated using calculational techniques based on assumed worse case meteorology. Summary Vessels Oil and Gas proposed expansion will be reviewed by the Oolorado Department of Health to ensure to their satisfaction that the entire facility, including the existing and new proposed sources will not exceed _a federal or state standard. The process is already under way to file all the necessary permits and APENs with the state in order to start the review process. Preliminary modeling results indicate that there will be no problem in meeting any of the ambient standards at the facility. However, if through the permitting process a problem is discovered, V0G will make the changes in equipment configuration or specifications to alleviate the problem. It is estimated that the maximum impact from the entire facility, both existing and proposed, and including contributions from surrounding facilities and background will be in the range of 65-70 ug/m at the point of maximum impact. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call me at your convenience. Sincerely, A.
