Due to several factors, the anticipated timeframe to completion has been severely impacted and construction activities will not be able to be completed by December 16, 2020. A summary of delays is provided below: • Several previously unknown and unmarked buried utilities have been encountered during CR13, CR42, and Right -of -Way removal and excavation including: o 1 -inch pvc line under CR42 o 1 -inch pvc line under CR13 o 16 -inch concrete culvert in the east side ROW for CR13 o 3 -inch pvc line in the east side ROW for CR13 o Multiple abandoned telephone cables under CR42 and CR13 • During each encounter of these buried utilities, stop work authority was initiated and Colorado 811 was called for utility locating. In one instance, an emergency utility locate was required due to a damaged utility, which was subsequently deemed abandoned. • Supplemental subsurface investigation including GPS locating and soil sampling for environmental impacts was required along the length of each buried utility. • Approval for removal of each of these utilities was required from either the utility owner or landowner. • Environmental impacts to subsurface soil beneath CR13 and the ROW have been encountered further than previously anticipated based on investigations performed at the site in early to mid - 2020, and could equate to approximately 10,000 cubic yards of additional soil that will need to be removed as overburden and/or remediated. To date, these issues have caused a 4 -week delay to the schedule. Additionally, the final excavation extents to the north have not yet been determined. Page 1of2 TASMAN GEOSCIENCES 6855 W. 119~ Ave. Broomfield, CO 80020 Therefore, Tasman Geosciences, Inc., on behalf of DCP Midstream, LP, is requesting an extension for road closure activities to March 1, 2021. The length of this extension is being provided to account for winter weather delays, the large amount of additional soil that will need to be addressed, and to ensure that these activities can be completed entirely in the requested timeframe. Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this extension request, please feel free to call me at 720-633-5143 or email at bhumphrey@tasman-geo.com.
