Project Overview
❖ Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity under Section 7c of the Natural Gas Act
+ Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas
Support and Service Facility (Compressor Station) identified as the Hereford Ranch
Compressor Station, that will be owned and operated by Rockies Express Pipeline LLC
(REX). The purpose of this project is to provide continuing service to existing natural gas
firm transportation customers on the Trailblazer Pipeline Company, LLC Facilities.
•:• The existing facility at Hereford Ranch is a receipt meter site that receives gas from the
ri ictnmcr ICI immit R/lirlctrcam I-Icrcfnrr) plantl and ri irrcntlu rlicrharrYcc that rYac to the
Trailblazer pipeline. The scope of the project will be to modify the facility to discharge gas to
the REX Pipeline.
❖ The REX Pipeline operates at a higher pressure than the source facility and a pressure
increase using compressor units will be necessary. The new facility will be a booster
compression station. Ancillary equipment needed to support the compressors will be added
to the site.

horsepower gas compressor unit, one (1) eight (8) inch -diameter hot tap on REX, and
ancillary facility equipment. There will be onsite containment of fluids required for maintenance
and safe operation of equipment. Compressor coolant will be housed in two (2) 50" x 60" 500 -
gallon double -wall horizontal steel tanks stalled at grade. Two (2) 42" x 42" 215 -gallon
fiberglass sump tanks at grade will be installed to capture all compressor drains. One (1) 60" x

Purpose & Need _
Upgrade to an existing
Tallgrass metering site
that currently receives
gas from a customer and
injects that gas into the
Trailblazer Pipeline.
The compressor station
will boost pressure and
inject this same gas into
the REX Pipeline.
The Hereford Ranch
Compressor Station is
needed due to the higher
operating pressures of the
REX Pipeline.
