Re: USR-1069, Hearing No. 95-05
TSN, R64W, Section 4: E/2SW/4
Gentlemen:
This firm represents Lyco Energy Corporation ("Lyco") . Lyco is the
current lessee of certain oil and gas leases and operates certain
facilities located on a portion of the lands covered by the
• USR-1069 Application. While Lyco does not object to the granting
of this USR, it formally requests that its pre-existing uses and
access be specifically recognized by the Board of County
Commissioners in its resolution respecting the USR.
'Lyco currently owns and operates the Sitzman *1 well located in the
SW/4SW/4 of Section 4. The maps and plats provided to the Planning
Department do not reflect Lyco's wells, gathering facilities or
tank battery facilities. Lyco requests that applicant's proposed
facilities not encroach any nearer than. 200 feet of its wellsite.
Furthermore, Lyco owns a proposed location for a future well in the
NW/4SW/4 of Section 4 . Flowlines from such well will likely
connect to the existing tank battery facilities in the SW/4SW/4.
A provision recognizing Lyco' s pre-existing rights, unrestricted
access, and future rights to continue its activities should be
included in the final approval of the USR. Lyco suggests that the _
applicant be required to fence off the existing wellsite and tank
batteries and be responsible to segregate livestock away from lands
over Lyco' s flowlines in the event of maintenance or required
access to said lines.
We. apologize for not submitting these comments previously to the
Planning Commission but the original planning notice was not
received or was inadvertently misplaced. Attached hereto for •your

records is a copy of the Release of Surface Damages dated March 27,
•
1984 secured by Lyco' s predecessor covering existing facilities
together with Exhibit A thereto which reflects the location of the
existing drillsite, flowline and battery site.
Please feel •free to call the undersigned or Lyco directly should
you have questions or need any further information. Lyco' s number
is 214-890-4400 and the Vice President of Land is Robert G. Moore.
Lyco plans to have a representative (Mr. Adam Duna of Colorado Land
Services) at the hearing to answer any questions of .the County
Commissioners.
Very truly yours,
CLANP.HAN, TANNER, DOWNING AND RNOWLTON, P.C.
