Transcript of voice message recording from Kim Olge, Weld County Planning Services, on Monday, March 4, 2024, at 11:45 a.m. "Hey, so this is the voicemail that I referenced in my email that I responded back to - it's from Nadine — she is the Town Clerk for Keenesburg. Planning staff had made an inquiry on what the status of the Pioneer Holdings LLC Annexation was because the attorney who represents Pioneer stated that they were already annexed, and the only thing that they had left to do was to record the plat. Staff did not find the plat in the record. Matt Canterbury (Keenesburg Town Manager) confirmed that, but here's the message that was left after our hearing on the 20th. Thanks.' Transcript of voice message recording from Nadine, Town Clerk for Keenesburg on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, at 2:35 p.m. "Hi Kim. This is Nadine, returning your call from the Town of Keenesburg. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Yesterday we were off, and then of course, with that extra day off — more emails and more telephone calls. So, I'm just getting back to you that Fruition 6311 has not been annexed yet. Its still in the stages of them having to resubmit necessary paperwork. So, nothing has moved forward on that quite yet. If you need to get back in touch with me, I'm at 303-732-4281. Again, this is Nadine with the Town of Keenesburg. Thank you." Esther E. Gesick Clerk to the Board 1150 O Street/P.O.

Pioneer opposes the application submitted by the Public Service Company of Colorado ("Xcel") for a Use by Special Review — 1041 Major Facility of a Public Utility or Public Agency to construct approximately 47.2 miles of electric transmission line in Weld County ("Application"). The electric transmission line is proposed to occupy the length of 18.17 acres across three parcels owned by Pioneer shown in Figure 1 below ("Pioneer's Property"). Over 20 years ago, Pioneer began its efforts to develop its property in Weld County when it requested and Weld County approved the service plans for several metropolitan districts that were organized for the specific purpose of providing public infrastructure and services to Pioneer's 3,400 -acre mixed use development, which will include single family and multi -family homes, commercial, industrial, retail, and other amenities known as "Fruition." The first annexation for Fruition occurred in 2018 when the Town of Keenesburg ("Keenesbur() approved the annexation and zoning for a portion of the property comprising Fruition, as shown in the zoning ordinance and recorded annexation map attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. The second phase of the annexation continued in 2022 when Keenesburg approved the annexation and zoning for Pioneer's Property, as shown in the ordinances attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B. Because this second phase of annexation is nearly complete, Keenesburg's plans for Pioneer's Property should be given appropriate consideration given the significant amount of time, planning, and effort that has been made by Pioneer and Keenesburg for the future development of Pioneer's Property. FAILURE TO MEET THE CRITERIA IN § 21-3-340.A Notwithstanding the issue of the imminent annexation of Pioneer's Property into Keenesburg, the Application fails to meet the following criteria of Section 21-3-340.A of the Weld County Code ("Code"): • 21-3-340.A.2 — Protection and enhancement of the County's socio-economic environment • 21-3-340.A.4 — Presentation of a program to mitigate and minimize adverse impacts • 21-3-340.A.5 — Compliance with applicable master plans Figure 1: Location ofXcels proposed easement to place an electric transmission line on Pioneer's Property (PA -32, PA -33, and PA -34). 1. Failure to Meet Weld County Code § 21-3-340.A.2 a. Section 21-3-340.A.2 of the Code states the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") may only approve an application for the site selection and construction of a major facility of a public utility if the natural and socio-economic environment of the County will be protected and enhanced. The Application does not meet this criterion for the following reasons: i. The Application interferes with planned development. As part of its development plans, Pioneer sought and obtained Keenesburg's approval for the annexation and zoning of its property to residential and industrial designations. To demonstrate the urban scale of Pioneer's development plans, Pioneer Metropolitan Districts No. 1-6 and Pioneer Regional Metropolitan District (collectively, "Pioneer Districts") were organized in Weld County following approval by the BOCC on February 6, 2006 Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation District was also formed following approval by the Weld County BOCC in 2004 ("Resource" and together with the Pioneer Districts, "Districts") The Districts were formed to provide urban services to Pioneer's Property, including but not limited to water and sanitation services, street, drainage, and park and recreation The service plans for the Districts approved by Weld County, authorized the issuance of debt up to $330,000,000 to fund the infrastructure necessary for the urban development Given the large-scale nature of the Pioneer urban development, the Pioneer Districts have formed the Pioneer Community Authority Board to centralize services ("Authority") The Pioneer Districts and the Authority have issued the following debt to finance the water, water pipelines and improvements, design and other public improvements necessary to provide urban services to the Pioneer development ISSUER BOND ISSUANCE Pioneer Metropolitan District No 3 Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds Taxable Series 2012 in the amount of $4,150,000 Pioneer Metropolitan District No 3 Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding and Improvement Bonds, Series 2016 in the amount of $6,414,000 Pioneer Community Authority Board Subordinate Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A in the amount of $24,592,000 Pioneer Community Authority Board Junior Subordinate Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2020B in the amount of $8,935,000 Pioneer Community Authority Board Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 in the amount of $57,290,000 Pioneer Community Authority Board Junior Subordinate Special Revenue Draw Down Bonds, Series 2023B in the amount of $32,225,000 2. Failure to Meet Weld County Code ,$ 21-3-340.A.4. a Section 21-3-340 A 4 requires that the Application include a satisfactory program to mitigate and minimize adverse impacts The draft resolution approving the Application states that parcels adjacent to the electric transmission line include agricultural properties, residential uses, and oil and gas development and that the distance between the electric transmission line and homes are maximized where possible with no residences within 150 feet of the transmission line corridor However, this mitigation report fails to consider how the electric transmission lines will affect the Fiuition development on Pioneer's Property, which will include residential housing units and industrial development As stated, Pioneer's Property has approved zoning for R-2 Residential ("R- 2 District"), L-1 Light Industrial ("L-1 District"), and H-2 Heavy Industrial ("H-2 District") parcels The property on which the electric transmission line is planned to cross is not agricultural land and will compromise the development potential of Pioneer's Property The Application is not consistent with the intent of the zoning and is not compatible with the future development of Pioneer's Property 1 Inconsistency with R-2 District Because Pioneer's Property will be developed in Keenesburg, the Application's compatibility with Pioneer's Property as it will be developed under the Keenesburg Municipal Code is applicable The Keenesburg Municipal Code defines the purpose of the R-2 District as providing for low to moderate -density residential development and allows two-family housing units i The only uses by right enjoyed by public utilities in the Keenesburg Municipal Code at a undeiground utility distribution mains and lines, demonstrating that a large overhead electric transmission line is inconsistent with a residential area And, most importantly, the location of the transmission line eliminates Pioneer's ability to develop and sell several lots intended for residential uses 2 Inconsistency with L-1 District The same is true in the L-1 District The L-1 District provides for land areas to be used primarily for research and development, mini warehousing, small product assembly and manufacturing and other services, distribution and industrial uses that are relatively nonpolluting and have few off -site impacts as a result of the operations on -site Above ground utility lines are not related to any of the aforementioned primary uses in the L-1 District and may only be approved as a special review use 2 And, the location of the transmission line eliminates Pioneer's ability to develop and sell several lots intended for light industrial uses 3 Inconsistency with H-2 District _ The third parcel on Pioneer's Property in which the electric transmission line will cross is in the H-2 District Even in this heavy industrial district, major facilities of a public utility are only permitted as a special review use The H-2 District is reserved for land areas to be used primarily for manufacturing, assembly and distribution of basic goods In addition, uses that involve resource extraction operations and i Keenesburg Municipal Code § 16-2-90 2 Keenesburg Municipal Code § 16-2-140 recycling, storage and disassembly of all types of used products and related support uses are included within this category The electric transmission line is not a use by right nor an accessory use in this heavy industrial District, indicating the intense nature of electric transmission lines And the location of the transmission line eliminates Pioneer's ability to develop and sell several lots intended for heavy industrial uses 3. Failure to Meet Weld County Code & 21-3-340.A.5. a Section 21-3-240 A 5 requires that the nature and location or expansion of the facility comply with all applicable provisions of the master plan of the County, and other applicable regional, metropolitan, state and national plans i. Application does not respect private property rights Section 22 of the Code sets forth the County's Comprehensive Plan ("Plan") Code § 22-2-10 B states it is a guiding principle of Weld County to respect private property rights because it is a basic principle upon which the County was founded to own and utilize property so long as uses comply with local regulations and do not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of others The utilization of Pioneer's Property for an overhead electric transmission line interferes with the plans for Pioneer's residential and industrial development Approving an electric transmission line on Pioneer's Property is contrary to the guiding principle of the County to respect private property rights because it deprives Pioneer of its ability to develop Pioneer's Property in conformity with its zoning and development plans and results in a substantial economic loss due to the inability to sell a portion of it Although Weld County zoning of Pioneer's Property is currently agricultural, there is no doubt that the approved zoning in Keenesburg provides more development potential As a result, the loss of private property rights will be much more devastating to Pioneer ti The Application is incompatible with the Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan 1 Incompatibility with the Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan — Residential District Because the annexation and zoning for Pioneer's Property has been approved by Keenesburg, the Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan ("Keenesburg Plan") is also applicable The Keenesburg Plan states that residential land use is very specific in Keenesburg's zoning code As stated above, the intent of the R-2 District is to provide areas for low to moderate density residential development and specifies that only underground public utilities are appropriate 3 The Keenesburg Plan also underscores the importance to Keenesburg residents to maintain the rural, small-town setting A method for achieving that goal is encouraging large lot development and extensive open space 4 Placing a large, overhead electric transmission line in a residential area is inconsistent with this goal and diminishes the extensive open space that maintains Keenesburg's small-town feel 2 Incompatibility with the Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan — Light Industrial District In Keenesburg, the light industrial category is intended to provide for areas where small-scale manufacturing can occur and where businesses that are not manufacturing a product, but specializing in activities like outdoor storage, vehicle repair, and equipment distribution may operate An electric transmission line could negatively impact these types of uses 5 3 Incompatibility with the Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan — Heavy Industrial District The heavy industrial category is intended to provide for areas where substantial manufacturing or product processing may occur, including the output of finished products made from raw materials An electric transmission line could negatively impact these types of specialized uses 6 PROCEDURAL ERROR On January 18, , 2024, notice of the Application was published as a "USR for a Major Facility of a Public Utility or Public Agency " As such, it was anticipated that the approval criteria in Chapter 23 for a use by special review were applicable Section 23-2-200 of the Code states that, "[t]he Board of County Commissioners may approve the establishment of a Use by Special Review by granting a Special Review Permit All requests for Special Review Permit shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission The Planning Commission recommendation shall be forwarded to and considered by the Board of County Commissioners except for Major Facilities of Public Utilities or Public Agencies, which shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission only as set forth in Division 5 of this Article II " Division 5 of Article II addresses special review permits for major facility of public utilities or agencies Additionally, the Weld County website has a guide titled Use by Special Review — 1041 Major Facility of a Public Utility Code Requirements included in Exhibit C This guide specifies 3 Keenesburg Municipal Code § 16-2-90 4 Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan, page 20 5 Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan, page 25 .Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan, page 25 that the criteria for approval or denial for a use by special review permit are Sections 23-2-220 A and 23-2-230 B of the Code and lists the specific criteria The County is only applying Section 21-3-340, which is the criteria to approve a permit application for site selection and construction of a major facility of a public utility Nowhere in Chapter 21 is "use by special review" mentioned As such, the County, in accordance with its notice, must also apply the approval criteria for the use by'special review permit in addition to the criteria for site selection and construction of a major facility of a public utility This is true under Section 21-1-60(E) of the Code which states, "1041 Regulations are intended to be applied in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other regulations of the County, including, without

N/A 15 Development Standard Response/Status Date (if Applicable) into a rural area. Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water. Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. 2.

October19, 2023 Kinder Morgan -Colorado Interstate Gas Attn: Steve Bacon 2 N. Nevada Ave. Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Dear Bacon: Xcel Energy, as part of its Colorado's Power Pathway Project, is constructing a high - voltage overhead electricity transmission line spanning Weld and Morgan counties in Colorado. This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tail. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026_ The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line_ It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity, Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMES"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline isequipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMMIEs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference fer-ence mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EIMIEs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwaN xceierer .00m within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this fetter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline, Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. :00501107 t Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy In the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to PoloradosPowerPathwa xcelener corn. Sincerely, Amanda Ewing Senior Agent, Siting & Land Rights Xcel Energy 1800 Larimer St., 4-rh Floor Denver, CO 80202 I3 as for CIG, hereby inform Xcel Fnergy that GIG does not own or control any pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed electrical transmission line that could potentially be affected by AC electrical interference_ Signature Printed Name Title 2 5O3'MN R.v7W SC -2 TNRS7W 511E UN R67W Zi CI Onribatto S•2T_.r%r..iir / 1,r.' r 506 T3 R6611 Segment 1 Si' T3N P67W S14 Ta Pit t57W r 513-120110 S33 T SOS 'MN R&M SC4 TlN REI&V1 __Ca um tiyA tiada ,ro 1I riI I, zr II , ri 1 a tavige 527 N R6 1°.if S26 T3N R57i.W' h gykt o.Te 525' T3M R 7W S 13N R457W 53-S flM "el67W CounQy fiUad:25 $35T3N R57'w+ 489€11 a Sir13M ROWAN 520 TIN R' 0 a a_ re r Count cada _ TM* 166W 516 4 R66114 R6+5111 4206 ft s'Tln R6 RMW It( It I 531 T31 R6SW it $321134 PAW 533 k66W Legend Substation a Segment 1 - 345`ki Transmission Route ea Existing )(eel Transmission Facilities Sectionr Township) al.

Xcel Energy October 19, 2023 Magellan Midstream Partners, LP Attn: Bob Miller One Williams Center, OTC 9 Tulsa, OK 74172 Dear Mr. Miller: Xcel Energy, as part of its Colorado's Power Pathway Project, is constructing a high - voltage overhead electricity transmission line spanning Weld and Morgan counties in Colorado. This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line. It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline. Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. {00501307.1} Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy in the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com. Sincerely, Amanda Ewing Senior Agent, Siting & Land Rights Xcel Energy 1800 Larimer St., 4th Floor Denver, CO 80202 I, , as for CIG, hereby inform Xcel Energy that CIG does not own or control any pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed electrical transmission line that could potentially be affected by AC electrical interference.

This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line. It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwayxcelenergy.com within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline. Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. 100501307.11 Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy in the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com.

This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line, It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ('EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwa celerierg ,corgi within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this fetter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line.

Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwayxcelenergy.com within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline. Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. 100501307.11 Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy in the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com. Sincerely, Amanda Ewing Senior Agent, Siting & Land Rights Xcel Energy 1800 Larimer St., 4th Floor Denver, CO 80202 I, , as for CIG, hereby inform Xcel Energy that CIG does not own or control any pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed electrical transmission line that could potentially be affected by AC electrical interference.

Purpose This Road Maintenance and Reclamation Plan (Plan) outlines the procedures and standards required of PSCo and its Contractors (hereinafter referred to collectively as Contractor) to prepare, improve, maintain, and reclaim Approved Haul Route Roads utilized for construction, delivery of materials, and daily activities throughout the duration of the Project construction. 2. Responsibility Weld County Gravel Roads Division will cease normal maintenance of all closed sections of roadways utilized for the Project until Substantial Completion of the Project. All maintenance of the roadways including issues caused by weather events and non -project traffic are the responsibility of Contractor. Contractor is further responsible for all repairs caused by Project traffic as described in Section C.2.0 of Part I. of the Agreement. If Contractor can reasonably demonstrate that the need for repair is caused by non -Project related traffic, Weld County will be responsible for such repairs. 3. Procedures These procedures define necessary operations during each phase of the Project. 3.1 Preconstruction Survey/Inspection At least 30 days prior to use of the Approved Haul Route Roads for construction of the Project, County and Contractor will jointly survey and inspect all gravel Approved Haul Route Roads and determine what improvements, if any, are necessary to accommodate anticipated Project -related vehicle traffic. Results of the Preconstruction Survey/Inspection will be documented in a Preconstruction Roadway Condition Memorandum (Pre -Con Memo) which will include, at a minimum, a Roadway Video Exhibit, and a Gravel Depth Test Location Inventory. The Pre -Con Memo will be completed by County Personal, and PSCo shall have the opportunity to review prior to accepting. 3.2 Preconstruction Roadway Improvements Contractor shall improve gravel Approved Haul Route Roads as set forth in the Pre -Con Memo. Gravel placement shall be done in accordance with Weld County Engineering & Construction Criteria (WCECC), page 123, Table 9-12 and in accordance with the most current versions of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and the Field Materials Manual. 3.3 Active Construction Period Roadway Maintenance Approved Haul Route Road maintenance will include grading, gravel placement, dust mitigation, and damage repair. A minimum of weekly maintenance is required for those Approved Haul Route Roads addressed in the Pre -Con Memo. Road damage such as, but not limited to, tracking, potholes, blow outs, soft spots, and wash outs, shall be repaired within 48 hours of either the occurrence of the damage or notification by County. County B- 1 may inspect the conditions of Approved Haul Route Roads at any time throughout the Project duration. Inspection of roadway conditions may include but is not limited to roadway fore and back slopes, ditch grade and geometry, travel lane slopes, crown, low spots/depressions, and gravel coverage. Corrective work resulting from inspections shall be completed by Contractor within 48 hours of notification by County. No less than twice each month, Contractor shall provide a schedule detailing the locations and type of maintenance completed and locations and type of maintenance to be completed. 3.4 Postconstruction After the Project has been completed, Contractor shall restore all County roadways, intersections, access locations and roadside drainage affected by the Project to pre - construction widths, grades, and surface conditions documented in the Pre -Con Memo. After Project completion and restoration of County roadways and prior to termination of the Agreement as described in Section B.2.0 of Part II of the Agreement, post -construction Approved Haul Route Road conditions shall be jointly inspected by County and Contactor to determine if there are any material deviations in the condition of the Approved Haul Route Roads from those contained in the Pre -Con Memo. In its sole and reasonable exercise of discretion, County shall inform Contractor of the location and amount of gravel to be placed upon Approved Haul Route Roads, not to exceed six inches of gravel in any one location. In making these determinations, County shall endeavor to require only that amount of material which returns the road to the pre -construction condition as documented in the Pre -Con Memo. Gravel placement shall be done in accordance with Weld County Engineering & Construction Criteria (WCECC), page 123, Table 9-12 and in accordance with the most current versions of the CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Field Materials Manual. Acceptance testing for all post -construction repairs will be required upon completion of restoration (refer to section 4 -Testing). 4. Testing Required testing processes, methods and resulting procedures. 4.1 General Procedures Contractor shall be responsible for all testing procedures. Sampling and testing shall follow procedures as identified in the most recent version of the CDOT Field Materials Manual. All Process Control (PC) and Owners Acceptance (OA) sampling of material shall be performed on grade. All work will be in conformance with the CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Surface Gravel placement will require- -notification to Weld County a minimum of 48 hours in advance. If a County inspector is not present during placement, the sample and testing location shall be recorded and provided in the corresponding testing report. Non -reported or failed testing will require removal and replacement of all material by Contractor. 4.2 Method Statement The Contractor's method statement for testing should, at a minimum, include the following: • Sample locations using a random number generator • PC and OA sampling frequencies. PC will deliver OA samples to Weld County • Expected turnaround of test results • A third -party Test laboratory to dispute potential testing issues.

I Xcel Energy is a registered trademark of Xcel Energy Inc. 1 16-03-123 Substation fire response The overall mission of an emergency response involving Xcel Energy substations is always to: 1. Protect lives. 2. Establish a protective perimeter around the substation, protecting surrounding structures: DO NOT enter or extinguish any substation equipment until given authorization by Xcel Energy substation personnel. 3. Assist Xcel Energy in efforts to stabilize the incident, as directed/needed. Responders must use extreme caution around high voltage areas due to the severe electric hazards. High voltages in these sites can exceed 500,000 volts, or 500 kilovolts (kV), and operating amperages (A) of 1000A or more. Substations contain transformers, circuit breakers, switch gear, capacitors, bus bars (large diameter, non -insulated metal conductors) and large banks of batteries to control power in control rooms. Electrical emergencies at Xcel Energy substations should be approached cautiously. Responders should wait for Xcel Energy personnel to arrive before initiating any type of offensive actions (see note 2 above). Since there is extreme risk to responders during high voltage emergencies, decisions must be made by the emergency services incident command in conjunction with Xcel Energy's incident commander. Unified command is critical in these types of operations. Caution Substations can have a great deal of oil. It is used for cooling transformers and as an arc suppression agent while opening a circuit breaker. In some facilities the oil reservoir can be very large, or stored indoors. When there is a fire or damage to oil -cooled equipment, an oil spill can result. Regular hazardous materials tactics can be employed if the area is free from any energized equipment. Most utilities have eliminated the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) problem in their cooling oils; however, the real hazards are the flammability of heated oils and the ever-present danger of energized equipment.

Xcel Energy is a registered trademark of Xcel Energy Inc. 17-02-633 Xcel Energy° Fire safety response for substation emergencies Any operation involving Xcel Energy substations requires de -energizing the affected equipment and isolating of the surrounding area. If entry is deemed necessary by a unified command team, emergency personnel should be guided by Xcel Energy substation electricians. Unified command at utility emergencies In large incidents, it is common to use a modified incident command structure, called unified command, whereby representatives from both the emergency services command and utility companies work together. They share information and coordinate personnel to develop an overall action plan that best solves the problem. The unified command team develops an incident action plan that uses agreed -upon strategies and tactics to accomplish the mission. In high voltage emergencies involving an electric substation or a generation plant, the unified command process is the only way to guarantee success and assure the safety of all responders and utility personnel at the scene. Unified command at utility emergencies provides a joint method for incident management teams to: • Determine incident priorities and identify strategic goals • Select tactics for achieving the strategic incident goals and priorities • Ensure joint planning for objectives and tactical activities • Allow joint tactical operations to be conducted • Maximize the use of all assigned resources • Provide a method for resolving conflicts among the team players Decision making for high voltage/substation emergencies The initial task during high voltage emergencies involving Xcel Energy substations is to determine the tactical action plan. This is done by assessing the incident's potential. The incident commander (IC), based on input from the Xcel Energy, should estimate the likely outcome of the emergency and select the overall operating strategy to favorably impact this outcome. Pre -planning for substation emergencies will help identify response strategies and tactics, as determined by representatives from both the emergency services and local utility companies, like Xcel Energy. The absence of a preplan for a substation or generation plant emergency raises the risk of disaster and injury. f_- i irs?' sailiamaita Pre -planning questions What type of incident is it? Is it a generation substation or distribution substation incident? Is the equipment visible from the outside, or is it inside a surrounding wall or building? Are all safety considerations identified? Have all electrical safety hazards or considerations associated with the event been identified? Has the site been de -energized and verified by Xcel Energy substation electricians? Can the emergency area be isolated from electricity, and is it of a magnitude that would allow operations without fear of runoff, steam or extinguishing agent contacting energized equipment and causing an arc? Is there an electrical hazard still present? Even though the immediate area has been de -energized, equipment nearby may remain energized. What is the location of the incident? Is the substation in a rural or remote outside area (perimeter chain link fence), in a populated area (perimeter "fence" limiting view inside), or in the heart of the city (potentially inside a building)? What is the external public impact? Has Xcel Energy addressed the informational needs of the emergency services, the impact on the public and what will be necessary to lessen the public's fear, imposition and loss of power? Xcel Energy's communications team is ready to respond. Are there any other hazards present? Could there be an explosion, structural instability due to earthquake, mechanical equipment or hazardous materials present. In many substations there is combustible oil used to cool the circuit breakers and transformers. This hazard can create large flammable liquid fires outside and inside the substation. Can the incident escalate? What could possibly happen that would make this incident worse and has it been addressed? Can oil in transformers ignite or explode? Will the oil flow through duct openings or travel to lower floors? Strategy and tactics for substation emergencies Strategy is the overall goal of the response effort. Strategies are general in nature, such as life safety, incident stabilization, environmental impact and utility service restoration. Examples of common strategic goals at utility emergencies could include the following: • Rescue (if possible and can be done safely) • Public protective actions (isolate downed wires, arc safety and downwind evacuation) • Preventing cooling oil from impacting the environment • Controlling the spread of oil around the substation • Fire suppression and control • Safety during restoration operations Tactics are action specific and they are implemented to achieve the strategic goals. Tactics could include: • Protecting in place vs. evacuating • Use extinguishing agents rather than water spray • Cooling exposures from radiant heat Operational modes Mitigating a utility emergency must be implemented in an overall operational mode. The three modes are non- intervention, defensive and offensive. Criteria for evaluating operational modes include: • Level of available resources (e.g. personnel and equipment) • Level of training and capabilities of emergency responders • Potential harm created by the incident Nonintervention "No action" is taken. The risks of intervening are unacceptable when compared to the dangers of fighting the electrical fire. All personnel are withdrawn to a safe location. Defensive Conditions indicate that the defensive actions chosen will buy time, enabling the response effort to be directed towards limiting the overall spread of the problem. Offensive The offensive mode must never be initiated without Xcel Energy substation electricians present to advise the responder. All operations must be done in conjunction with, and under the direct supervision of substation personnel. COLORADO'S POWER PATHWAY ATTACHMENT D: WES DJ (WESTERN MIDSTREAM) GATHERING LLC - REFERRAL RESPONSE LETTER Colorado's Power Pathway USR23-0039 — Compliance with Conditions of Approval and Development Standards Xcel Energy April 1, 2024 WES DJ Gathering LLC Jayson L. VanShura 9950 Woodloch Forest Drive The Woodlands, TX 77380 Sent via Email to Jayson.VanShura@WesternMidstream.com 1800 Larimer Street Denver, CO 80202 RE: USR23-0039 and 1 MUSR23-99-1236 Referral Response to Weld County Dear Mr. VanShura, Xcel Energy wants to address concerns and requested requirements raised in WES DJ Gathering LLC, formerly Kerr-McGee Gathering and WES Wattenberg Oil Complex LLC's ("WES") January 12, 2024, letter to the Weld County Planning Commission to ensure all issues raised have been formally responded to. Xcel Energy understands the challenges that come with construction and operation of electric transmission lines and associated facilities in areas where there is also robust oil and gas activity. Xcel Energy follows a process of identifying existing oil and gas activity and facilities within its proposed transmission line corridor and determining the appropriate steps to safely co -locate. WES's January 12, 2024, ask to the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") inappropriately seeks to have the BOCC require contracts which may or may not respect the priority of land rights held by the respective parties. Which agreement may be appropriate will depend on the land rights of the parties and the priority of those rights. For this project there are instances where WES installed pipeline facilities within an existing transmission corridor, there are instances where the parties land rights do not overlap at all and there are instances where the facilities may cross one another. In some instances, no agreement may be necessary, in others the parties may have many confidential items proprietary to their businesses to work through in a Mitigation Agreement. The terms of those agreements are not appropriate for the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to require or be asked to act as an intermediary on. As acknowledged by WES, Xcel Energy proactively sent a notice to WES as an operator and easement holder identified in the proposed transmission line corridor and invited conversation and cooperation in the transmission line construction process. That coordination and collaboration will continue as it has for several months. Xcel Energy's process to evaluate impacts and mitigation includes land rights and title review as well as on the ground inspections, locate surveys and potholing. The data from this investigation is reviewed by land agents, surveyors, and engineering to determine whether any identified land right or oil and gas infrastructure falls within Xcel Energy's proposed transmission line easement area, if the non-exclusive land rights will overlap, whether they pre- or post- date existing Xcel Energy land rights, and whether there are any proposed new facilities associated with the project that will fall within such easements. If Xcel Energy's land rights pre -date the land right for the oil and gas facilities, Xcel Energy will work with WES to identify any potential concerns with Xcel Energy's contemplated project so that WES can take any steps it deems necessary ahead of project construction for its infrastructure. If Xcel Energy identifies a pre-existing oil or gas land right or facility within its proposed new easement area, Xcel Energy determines whether Xcel Energy's proposed easement crosses or parallels the existing oil and gas easement. As you are aware crossings do not typically create co -location conflicts or concerns provided the transmission poles maintain appropriate separation from the pipe location. Paralleling an existing oil and gas line within a co -located easement may require additional mitigation measures depending on the age and construction of the existing oil and gas facility, soil conditions and other factors. If after analysis of the co -location of facilities it is determined that mitigation is necessary to avoid interference with the oil and gas facility, Xcel Energy will coordinate with WES to facilitate implementation of necessary mitigation. This coordination ranges from confirmation about location and construction methods to making micro -location adjustments to the planned Xcel Energy facilities to avoid issues. S ometimes, Xcel Energy and facilities owners will enter into Encroachment Agreements if they ultimately deem them necessary and there may be instances where additional agreements and reimbursement are negotiated between the holders of the land rights. Given WES's commitment to Weld County to operate its oil and gas infrastructure in a safe and responsible manner, the BOCC should have no concern that WES will continue to take such steps as may be necessary to protect its infrastructure should WES deem changes are necessary to do so given the build out of necessary transmission infrastructure. Xcel Energy and the oil and gas operators in Weld County have worked cooperatively for decades to build out the infrastructure in the County in a safe manner and we have every confidence we will continue to do so. Thank you for your continued partnership in the development of our facilities.

Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water. Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. 2.

October19, 2023 Kinder Morgan -Colorado Interstate Gas Attn: Steve Bacon 2 N. Nevada Ave. Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Dear Bacon: Xcel Energy, as part of its Colorado's Power Pathway Project, is constructing a high - voltage overhead electricity transmission line spanning Weld and Morgan counties in Colorado. This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tail. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026_ The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line_ It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity, Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMES"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline isequipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMMIEs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference fer-ence mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EIMIEs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwaN xceierer .00m within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this fetter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline, Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. :00501107 t Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy In the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to PoloradosPowerPathwa xcelener corn.

This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line. It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwayxcelenergy.com within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline. Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. 100501307.11 Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy in the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com. Sincerely, Amanda Ewing Senior Agent, Siting & Land Rights Xcel Energy 1800 Larimer St., 4th Floor Denver, CO 80202 I, , as for CIG, hereby inform Xcel Energy that CIG does not own or control any pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed electrical transmission line that could potentially be affected by AC electrical interference.

This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line. It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it. Xcel Energy has obtained the necessary land use permit to construct the line in Morgan County and is in the process of obtaining the necessary land use permit approvals in Weld County. Xcel Energy is notifying you because the new transmission line may have some effect on your pipeline due to its proximity. Electrical transmission lines such as the one that Xcel Energy is constructing emit electromagnetic fields ("EMFs"), which can damage or degrade pipelines that are not adequately protected, as can fault currents or the effects of lightning. Through this letter, Xcel Energy is notifying you of its construction of the electrical transmission line, so that you can ensure that your pipeline is equipped with sufficient protection against AC electrical interference necessary to prevent potential damage or degradation. Federal regulations require owners of underground oil and gas pipelines to maintain certain levels of protection against AC electrical interference. Xcel Energy does not have access to any information regarding whether your pipeline maintains sufficient protection from any EMFs that will be emitted from the new transmission line. Therefore, Xcel Energy cannot determine whether your pipeline is sufficiently protected, or whether any additional electrical -magnetic interference mitigation should be installed. Xcel Energy recommends that you confirm the level of AC electrical interference protection on your pipeline, to ensure that it is not affected by any EMFs. Please contact Xcel Energy at ColoradosPowerPathwayxcelenergy.com within the next two weeks to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to consult with us regarding whether any additional protection may be required for your pipeline in the vicinity of the new transmission line. Xcel Energy will coordinate with you regarding the appropriate steps to take if it is determined that additional protection is required for your pipeline. Additionally, if there is another point of contact with your organization or consultant that you prefer to work with on this issue, please provide us with that information. 100501307.11 Lastly, if you do not own a pipeline in this area that might be affected, we would appreciate it if you would acknowledge that fact as provided below and return a copy in the enclosed business reply envelope or attach a copy of your response to an email to ColoradosPowerPathway@xcelenergy.com.

This portion of the project consists of approximately 71 miles of a new 345 kilovolt transmission line that will run between two substations. The transmission line will be constructed monopole steel structures between 100 and 140 feet tall. The project is expected to be completed and in- service by 2026. The attached vicinity map shows the location of the proposed electrical transmission line. It is our understanding that you may own or operate an existing pipeline that will either cross under the new transmission line or be located in close proximity to it.

Reserved B. Haul Route or Haul Route Roads: Haul Routes and Haul Route Roads are considered that length of public roadway within 1/2 mile of each access location for the Project Property, and a public Right -of - Way (ROW) crossing of the Pathway Transmission Line or the Relocated 230 -kV Transmission Line (collectively, the "PSCo Transmission Lines"). The Haul Routes and Haul Route Roads identified by PSCo and approved by the County, referred to herein as "Approved Haul Route Roads" and shown on the attached Exhibit A, for use by vehicular construction traffic associated with the Project shall only include those which are set forth in Exhibit A. Any future alternative Haul Route proposed by PSCo and approved by the County pursuant to Part I., Section C.2.0, below, shall be a permitted amendment to Exhibit A, and may be processed administratively by the County Engineer or his designee. C. Maintenance Requirements: 1.0 Off -Site Dust Control/Abatement: PSCo is required to provide dust abatement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement along affected gravel Approved Haul Route Roads within 1/2 mile of each access location for the Project Property permitted by the County, and each ROW crossing of the PSCo Transmission Lines, as determined by the County. County will determine the Proportionate Share (as defined in Part I., Section C.5.1 below) of dust control and abatement to be paid by PSCo. The amount and extent of dust control and abatement measures will be determined by site -specific conditions at the time of Project construction, as determined exclusively by County personnel. The County reserves the right to install traffic counters on the access driveway(s) of the Project Property during construction. The County will have sole responsibility for determination of the percentage of PSCo's haul route traffic on all affected Approved Haul Route Roads. 2.0 Obligation to Repair Current and Future Haul Routes: PSCo will be financially responsible for the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or future Approved Haul Route Roads, as documented pursuant to the Preconstruction Roadway Condition Memorandum in Part I., Section C.3.0 below, which in the reasonable sole opinion of County has been created by PSCo's vehicle construction traffic to and from the Project Property.

The type and method of repair will be determined by the County Engineer or his representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification by the County as provided in Part II., Section C.15.0, below for any roadway damage that exposes the driving public to adverse or unsafe driving conditions. All other repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's written notice.

PSCo shall identify the repair required and shall consult with County on the extent, type, timing, materials, and quality of repair (i.e., temporary versus permanent) within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such notice and shall commence such repair within 48 hours after receipt of such notice. If PSCo identifies Significant Damage prior to receiving notice thereof from County, PSCo may commence repair of such Significant Damage and shall concurrently notify County of the extent, type, timing, materials, and quality of repair (i.e., temporary versus permanent). 2.2 In County's reasonable sole discretion, County may in emergency situations, and without giving PSCo notice as required by this Agreement undertake immediate action to complete repairs to Approved Haul Route Roads caused by Project construction traffic that the County deems necessary for public safety, PSCo's payment for its Proportionate Share of the road repairs/improvements will be calculated as described in this Agreement. 3.0 Pre -Construction Survey/Inspection. PSCo and County shall jointly inspect the Approved Haul Route Roads pursuant to Section 3.1 of Exhibit B. 4.0 Post -Construction. Upon completion of construction of the Project, PSCo shall return the Approved Haul Route Roads to pre -construction conditions pursuant to Section 3.4 of Exhibit B. 5.0 Proportionate Share of Road Maintenance Responsibilities: 5.1 PSCo shall pay its Proportionate Share of costs of dust control/abatement, paving, repairs, maintenance, improvements, or future road replacement of any particular Approved Haul Route Road. PSCo's "Proportionate Share" shall be based upon the percentage of construction traffic on an Approved Haul Route Road that is attributable to PSCo's Project in relation to overall usage of such Approved Haul Route Road. County personnel will determine the percentage based on then current Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Counts. PSCo shall not be responsible for road repairs due to traffic that is not related to construction of PSCo's Project. 5.2 Following a joint inspection of the Approved Haul Route Roads by the Parties, the County shall notify PSCo of County's preliminary determination and assessment of PSCo's Proportionate Share of Approved Haul Route Road costs. Prior to County's final determination and assessment of such costs, County shall provide PSCo with a reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon and supplement County's data, collection methodology, and determinations. The County shall review and consider PSCo's input prior to making a final cost determination and assessment.

Purpose This Road Maintenance and Reclamation Plan (Plan) outlines the procedures and standards required of PSCo and its Contractors (hereinafter referred to collectively as Contractor) to prepare, improve, maintain, and reclaim Approved Haul Route Roads utilized for construction, delivery of materials, and daily activities throughout the duration of the Project construction. 2. Responsibility Weld County Gravel Roads Division will cease normal maintenance of all closed sections of roadways utilized for the Project until Substantial Completion of the Project. All maintenance of the roadways including issues caused by weather events and non -project traffic are the responsibility of Contractor. Contractor is further responsible for all repairs caused by Project traffic as described in Section C.2.0 of Part I. of the Agreement. If Contractor can reasonably demonstrate that the need for repair is caused by non -Project related traffic, Weld County will be responsible for such repairs. 3. Procedures These procedures define necessary operations during each phase of the Project. 3.1 Preconstruction Survey/Inspection At least 30 days prior to use of the Approved Haul Route Roads for construction of the Project, County and Contractor will jointly survey and inspect all gravel Approved Haul Route Roads and determine what improvements, if any, are necessary to accommodate anticipated Project -related vehicle traffic. Results of the Preconstruction Survey/Inspection will be documented in a Preconstruction Roadway Condition Memorandum (Pre -Con Memo) which will include, at a minimum, a Roadway Video Exhibit, and a Gravel Depth Test Location Inventory. The Pre -Con Memo will be completed by County Personal, and PSCo shall have the opportunity to review prior to accepting. 3.2 Preconstruction Roadway Improvements Contractor shall improve gravel Approved Haul Route Roads as set forth in the Pre -Con Memo. Gravel placement shall be done in accordance with Weld County Engineering & Construction Criteria (WCECC), page 123, Table 9-12 and in accordance with the most current versions of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and the Field Materials Manual. 3.3 Active Construction Period Roadway Maintenance Approved Haul Route Road maintenance will include grading, gravel placement, dust mitigation, and damage repair. A minimum of weekly maintenance is required for those Approved Haul Route Roads addressed in the Pre -Con Memo. Road damage such as, but not limited to, tracking, potholes, blow outs, soft spots, and wash outs, shall be repaired within 48 hours of either the occurrence of the damage or notification by County. County B- 1 may inspect the conditions of Approved Haul Route Roads at any time throughout the Project duration. Inspection of roadway conditions may include but is not limited to roadway fore and back slopes, ditch grade and geometry, travel lane slopes, crown, low spots/depressions, and gravel coverage. Corrective work resulting from inspections shall be completed by Contractor within 48 hours of notification by County. No less than twice each month, Contractor shall provide a schedule detailing the locations and type of maintenance completed and locations and type of maintenance to be completed. 3.4 Postconstruction After the Project has been completed, Contractor shall restore all County roadways, intersections, access locations and roadside drainage affected by the Project to pre - construction widths, grades, and surface conditions documented in the Pre -Con Memo. After Project completion and restoration of County roadways and prior to termination of the Agreement as described in Section B.2.0 of Part II of the Agreement, post -construction Approved Haul Route Road conditions shall be jointly inspected by County and Contactor to determine if there are any material deviations in the condition of the Approved Haul Route Roads from those contained in the Pre -Con Memo. In its sole and reasonable exercise of discretion, County shall inform Contractor of the location and amount of gravel to be placed upon Approved Haul Route Roads, not to exceed six inches of gravel in any one location. In making these determinations, County shall endeavor to require only that amount of material which returns the road to the pre -construction condition as documented in the Pre -Con Memo. Gravel placement shall be done in accordance with Weld County Engineering & Construction Criteria (WCECC), page 123, Table 9-12 and in accordance with the most current versions of the CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Field Materials Manual. Acceptance testing for all post -construction repairs will be required upon completion of restoration (refer to section 4 -Testing). 4. Testing Required testing processes, methods and resulting procedures. 4.1 General Procedures Contractor shall be responsible for all testing procedures. Sampling and testing shall follow procedures as identified in the most recent version of the CDOT Field Materials Manual. All Process Control (PC) and Owners Acceptance (OA) sampling of material shall be performed on grade. All work will be in conformance with the CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Surface Gravel placement will require- -notification to Weld County a minimum of 48 hours in advance. If a County inspector is not present during placement, the sample and testing location shall be recorded and provided in the corresponding testing report. Non -reported or failed testing will require removal and replacement of all material by Contractor. 4.2 Method Statement The Contractor's method statement for testing should, at a minimum, include the following: • Sample locations using a random number generator • PC and OA sampling frequencies. PC will deliver OA samples to Weld County • Expected turnaround of test results • A third -party Test laboratory to dispute potential testing issues.

I Xcel Energy is a registered trademark of Xcel Energy Inc. 1 16-03-123 Substation fire response The overall mission of an emergency response involving Xcel Energy substations is always to: 1. Protect lives. 2. Establish a protective perimeter around the substation, protecting surrounding structures: DO NOT enter or extinguish any substation equipment until given authorization by Xcel Energy substation personnel. 3. Assist Xcel Energy in efforts to stabilize the incident, as directed/needed. Responders must use extreme caution around high voltage areas due to the severe electric hazards. High voltages in these sites can exceed 500,000 volts, or 500 kilovolts (kV), and operating amperages (A) of 1000A or more. Substations contain transformers, circuit breakers, switch gear, capacitors, bus bars (large diameter, non -insulated metal conductors) and large banks of batteries to control power in control rooms. Electrical emergencies at Xcel Energy substations should be approached cautiously. Responders should wait for Xcel Energy personnel to arrive before initiating any type of offensive actions (see note 2 above). Since there is extreme risk to responders during high voltage emergencies, decisions must be made by the emergency services incident command in conjunction with Xcel Energy's incident commander. Unified command is critical in these types of operations. Caution Substations can have a great deal of oil. It is used for cooling transformers and as an arc suppression agent while opening a circuit breaker. In some facilities the oil reservoir can be very large, or stored indoors. When there is a fire or damage to oil -cooled equipment, an oil spill can result. Regular hazardous materials tactics can be employed if the area is free from any energized equipment. Most utilities have eliminated the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) problem in their cooling oils; however, the real hazards are the flammability of heated oils and the ever-present danger of energized equipment.

Xcel Energy is a registered trademark of Xcel Energy Inc. 17-02-633 Xcel Energy° Fire safety response for substation emergencies Any operation involving Xcel Energy substations requires de -energizing the affected equipment and isolating of the surrounding area. If entry is deemed necessary by a unified command team, emergency personnel should be guided by Xcel Energy substation electricians. Unified command at utility emergencies In large incidents, it is common to use a modified incident command structure, called unified command, whereby representatives from both the emergency services command and utility companies work together. They share information and coordinate personnel to develop an overall action plan that best solves the problem. The unified command team develops an incident action plan that uses agreed -upon strategies and tactics to accomplish the mission. In high voltage emergencies involving an electric substation or a generation plant, the unified command process is the only way to guarantee success and assure the safety of all responders and utility personnel at the scene. Unified command at utility emergencies provides a joint method for incident management teams to: • Determine incident priorities and identify strategic goals • Select tactics for achieving the strategic incident goals and priorities • Ensure joint planning for objectives and tactical activities • Allow joint tactical operations to be conducted • Maximize the use of all assigned resources • Provide a method for resolving conflicts among the team players Decision making for high voltage/substation emergencies The initial task during high voltage emergencies involving Xcel Energy substations is to determine the tactical action plan. This is done by assessing the incident's potential. The incident commander (IC), based on input from the Xcel Energy, should estimate the likely outcome of the emergency and select the overall operating strategy to favorably impact this outcome. Pre -planning for substation emergencies will help identify response strategies and tactics, as determined by representatives from both the emergency services and local utility companies, like Xcel Energy. The absence of a preplan for a substation or generation plant emergency raises the risk of disaster and injury. f_- i irs?' sailiamaita Pre -planning questions What type of incident is it? Is it a generation substation or distribution substation incident? Is the equipment visible from the outside, or is it inside a surrounding wall or building? Are all safety considerations identified? Have all electrical safety hazards or considerations associated with the event been identified? Has the site been de -energized and verified by Xcel Energy substation electricians? Can the emergency area be isolated from electricity, and is it of a magnitude that would allow operations without fear of runoff, steam or extinguishing agent contacting energized equipment and causing an arc? Is there an electrical hazard still present? Even though the immediate area has been de -energized, equipment nearby may remain energized. What is the location of the incident? Is the substation in a rural or remote outside area (perimeter chain link fence), in a populated area (perimeter "fence" limiting view inside), or in the heart of the city (potentially inside a building)? What is the external public impact? Has Xcel Energy addressed the informational needs of the emergency services, the impact on the public and what will be necessary to lessen the public's fear, imposition and loss of power? Xcel Energy's communications team is ready to respond. Are there any other hazards present? Could there be an explosion, structural instability due to earthquake, mechanical equipment or hazardous materials present. In many substations there is combustible oil used to cool the circuit breakers and transformers. This hazard can create large flammable liquid fires outside and inside the substation. Can the incident escalate? What could possibly happen that would make this incident worse and has it been addressed? Can oil in transformers ignite or explode? Will the oil flow through duct openings or travel to lower floors? Strategy and tactics for substation emergencies Strategy is the overall goal of the response effort. Strategies are general in nature, such as life safety, incident stabilization, environmental impact and utility service restoration. Examples of common strategic goals at utility emergencies could include the following: • Rescue (if possible and can be done safely) • Public protective actions (isolate downed wires, arc safety and downwind evacuation) • Preventing cooling oil from impacting the environment • Controlling the spread of oil around the substation • Fire suppression and control • Safety during restoration operations Tactics are action specific and they are implemented to achieve the strategic goals. Tactics could include: • Protecting in place vs. evacuating • Use extinguishing agents rather than water spray • Cooling exposures from radiant heat Operational modes Mitigating a utility emergency must be implemented in an overall operational mode. The three modes are non- intervention, defensive and offensive. Criteria for evaluating operational modes include: • Level of available resources (e.g. personnel and equipment) • Level of training and capabilities of emergency responders • Potential harm created by the incident Nonintervention "No action" is taken. The risks of intervening are unacceptable when compared to the dangers of fighting the electrical fire. All personnel are withdrawn to a safe location. Defensive Conditions indicate that the defensive actions chosen will buy time, enabling the response effort to be directed towards limiting the overall spread of the problem. Offensive The offensive mode must never be initiated without Xcel Energy substation electricians present to advise the responder. All operations must be done in conjunction with, and under the direct supervision of substation personnel. COLORADO'S POWER PATHWAY ATTACHMENT D: WES DJ (WESTERN MIDSTREAM) GATHERING LLC - REFERRAL RESPONSE LETTER Colorado's Power Pathway USR23-0039 — Compliance with Conditions of Approval and Development Standards Xcel Energy April 1, 2024 WES DJ Gathering LLC Jayson L. VanShura 9950 Woodloch Forest Drive The Woodlands, TX 77380 Sent via Email to Jayson.VanShura@WesternMidstream.com 1800 Larimer Street Denver, CO 80202 RE: USR23-0039 and 1 MUSR23-99-1236 Referral Response to Weld County Dear Mr. VanShura, Xcel Energy wants to address concerns and requested requirements raised in WES DJ Gathering LLC, formerly Kerr-McGee Gathering and WES Wattenberg Oil Complex LLC's ("WES") January 12, 2024, letter to the Weld County Planning Commission to ensure all issues raised have been formally responded to. Xcel Energy understands the challenges that come with construction and operation of electric transmission lines and associated facilities in areas where there is also robust oil and gas activity. Xcel Energy follows a process of identifying existing oil and gas activity and facilities within its proposed transmission line corridor and determining the appropriate steps to safely co -locate. WES's January 12, 2024, ask to the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") inappropriately seeks to have the BOCC require contracts which may or may not respect the priority of land rights held by the respective parties. Which agreement may be appropriate will depend on the land rights of the parties and the priority of those rights. For this project there are instances where WES installed pipeline facilities within an existing transmission corridor, there are instances where the parties land rights do not overlap at all and there are instances where the facilities may cross one another. In some instances, no agreement may be necessary, in others the parties may have many confidential items proprietary to their businesses to work through in a Mitigation Agreement. The terms of those agreements are not appropriate for the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to require or be asked to act as an intermediary on. As acknowledged by WES, Xcel Energy proactively sent a notice to WES as an operator and easement holder identified in the proposed transmission line corridor and invited conversation and cooperation in the transmission line construction process. That coordination and collaboration will continue as it has for several months. Xcel Energy's process to evaluate impacts and mitigation includes land rights and title review as well as on the ground inspections, locate surveys and potholing. The data from this investigation is reviewed by land agents, surveyors, and engineering to determine whether any identified land right or oil and gas infrastructure falls within Xcel Energy's proposed transmission line easement area, if the non-exclusive land rights will overlap, whether they pre- or post- date existing Xcel Energy land rights, and whether there are any proposed new facilities associated with the project that will fall within such easements. If Xcel Energy's land rights pre -date the land right for the oil and gas facilities, Xcel Energy will work with WES to identify any potential concerns with Xcel Energy's contemplated project so that WES can take any steps it deems necessary ahead of project construction for its infrastructure. If Xcel Energy identifies a pre-existing oil or gas land right or facility within its proposed new easement area, Xcel Energy determines whether Xcel Energy's proposed easement crosses or parallels the existing oil and gas easement. As you are aware crossings do not typically create co -location conflicts or concerns provided the transmission poles maintain appropriate separation from the pipe location. Paralleling an existing oil and gas line within a co -located easement may require additional mitigation measures depending on the age and construction of the existing oil and gas facility, soil conditions and other factors. If after analysis of the co -location of facilities it is determined that mitigation is necessary to avoid interference with the oil and gas facility, Xcel Energy will coordinate with WES to facilitate implementation of necessary mitigation. This coordination ranges from confirmation about location and construction methods to making micro -location adjustments to the planned Xcel Energy facilities to avoid issues. S ometimes, Xcel Energy and facilities owners will enter into Encroachment Agreements if they ultimately deem them necessary and there may be instances where additional agreements and reimbursement are negotiated between the holders of the land rights. Given WES's commitment to Weld County to operate its oil and gas infrastructure in a safe and responsible manner, the BOCC should have no concern that WES will continue to take such steps as may be necessary to protect its infrastructure should WES deem changes are necessary to do so given the build out of necessary transmission infrastructure. Xcel Energy and the oil and gas operators in Weld County have worked cooperatively for decades to build out the infrastructure in the County in a safe manner and we have every confidence we will continue to do so. Thank you for your continued partnership in the development of our facilities.

Chevron wishes to inform the Weld County Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of its concerns regarding this transmission line project and the potential impact that it may have on Chevron's facilities located in proximity to the transmission line. To date, Chevron has identified the potential for alternating current interference as a result of this transmission line, which can cause pipeline safety issues, such as corrosion of metallic structures such as pipelines. Accordingly, Chevron respectfully asks the Board to postpone consideration and approval of this matter to a subsequent Board meeting to give Chevron time to fully assess the impact that this line may have on its facilities and operations and identify mitigation measures to protect human health and the environment. Importantly, Chevron is actively engaged with Xcel Energy Services, Inc. ("Xcel") to address its concerns and discussions between the parties remain ongoing and constructive. Chevron and Xcel are in the process of sharing information related to the transmission line to determine the extent of the potential impacts to Chevron's existing natural gas facilities. Chevron appreciates Xcel's willingness to work towards a resolution, however, additional time is needed to confirm these potential impacts and identify mitigation measures necessary to enable Chevron to continue its current operations. Because Chevron only recently learned of the potential impacts of this transmission line on its facilities, it requires additional time to gather information and further engage with Xcel to resolve Chevron's issues and concerns. Chevron is committed to resolving its concerns by working with Xcel and will inform the Board if it is able to address those concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact Luke Johnson, Area Operations Manager — Rockies, at (801) 975-2337 or lmjo@chevron.com, if you have any additional questions. Thank you.
