Executive Summary
Principle Environmental. 111' (TruHorizon) prepared this report to document the background
ambient sound level survey conducted at the site for the proposed Orca facility in Weld County,
Colorado. From March 15 through March 18, 2019, TruHorizon conducted sound monitoring near
the coordinates for the planned site. Table 1 shows the overall A -weighted and C -weighted
averages produced by the study:
Table 1: Overall Study Averages
Average
39.22
62.33
1.24
TruHorizon recommends further site evaluation to determine the sound impact of operations at
nearby structures. TruHorizon recommends completing predictive sound modeling to confirm the
operational sound impact on the surrounding area and make recommendations for mitigation if
necessary.
Ordinance Summary
In December 2005 Ordinance No. 1R-99 was enacted for the State of Colorado by the Colorado
Oil and Gas Commission which regulates the environmental performance standards. Section 802
sets regulations to establish a process for reasonable noise control.
Section 802 states that "Sound levels shall be measured at a distance of three hundred and fifty
(350) feet from the noise source", or "sound levels shall be measured at a point twenty-five (25)
feet from the structure towards the noise source."
Principle Environmental, LLC 201 West Ranch Ct. Weatherford, TX 1817.599.5332 I
www.truhorizon.com
2
In situations where measurement of noise levels at three hundred and fifty (350) feet is impractical
or unrepresentative due to topography, the measurement may be taken at a lesser distance and
extrapolated to a 350 -foot equivalent using the following formula:
dB (A) DIs; AN cE 2
= dB(A)D ceAvcr

• Sound level measurements shall be taken four (4) feet above ground le\ cl.
• Sound levels shall be determined by averaging minute -by -minute measurements made
over a minimum fifteen (15) minute sample duration.
• Sound levels that are C -weighted for low frequency shall not exceed 65 dB(C) when
measured twenty-five (25) feet from the exterior wall of the residence or occupied
structure nearest to the noise source, in the ev ent of a complaint.
Site Information
The Orca facility is to be located south of Weld County Road (WCR) 90 and east of WCR 19.
From Friday, March 15, 2019 through Monday, March 18, 2019, TruHorizon conducted
approximately 72 hours of monitoring at the location. The approximate coordinates for the
monitoring point are 40°37'53.21"N, 104°51'46.63"W. The approximate coordinates for the site
are 40°37'53.00"N, 104°51'47.25"W. The closest road is the access road to the Irish site,
approximately 900 feet to the east. The next closest road is WCR 90 which is approximately 3,000
feet north of the monitor. Noise from nearby roads as well as the Irish site, were not noticeable

while on location. Figure 1 below shows the monitoring location marked by a green pin;
photographs of the location are provided in Attachment 1.
Figure 1: Aerial View of Orca Location
With respect to the monitoring point, the closest residential structure was approximately 5,600 feet
northeast of the monitor. The monitor was placed in an open area with minor changes in elevation
and no major obstructions. There was a slight hill that obstructed a clear path between the
monitoring location and WCR 90. While on location, there was no noticeable noise impact from
the surroundings. The closest town (Pierce) was approximately 5.6 miles to the east. Wind data
was measured for the area at the KCOFORTC44 weather station located about 3.8 miles southwest
of the monitor. The coordinates for the weather station are approximately 40°35'20.40"N,
104°54'28.80"W.

Sou rill Level Meter Specifications
A Bruel & Kjaer Type 2250, 4th generation. hand-held analyzer (S/N: 3010735) with transducer
(S/N: 3077226) measured sound levels at the monitoring location. Attachment 2 lists the
manufacturer's specification for this meter. The software modules in the Type 2250 allows for
real-time frequency analysis, analysis of time histories for broadband parameters and spectra, and
documentation of measurements through recording of measured sound. The 2250 sound level
meter continuously sampled sound levels logging the specified data every minute; therefore, each
one hour period provided 60 readings.
Prior to beginning the monitoring, TruHorizon calibrated the 2250 meter using a Bruel & Kjaer
Type 4231 Acoustical Calibrator (S/N: 3006473). The calibrator emits a reference sound pressure
level of 94 dB. The calibrator attaches to the transducer to verify the meter accurately measures
the reference sound level. ullI manufacturer calibration documentation is available upon request.
After monitoring, the data collected by the 2250 sound level meter was downloaded to a computer
using Bruel & Kjxr BZ-5503 Utility Software for Hand-held Analyzers Version 3.1 1.0.389.
TruHorizon used the manufacturer's software, coupled with Excel spreadsheets, to summarize the
data.
Acoustics Overview
Sound pressure level measurements are commonly weighted in relation to their frequency
components in order to provide a consistent basis for comparison to other measurements of the
same type. Figure 2 depicts three common weighting curves plotted together for reference.

The study utilized A -weighted and C -weighted filters. An A -weighted filter corresponds to the
human ear's response at low to medium sound levels. Time weighting defines how the exponential
averaging in root -mean -square measurement is done. The A -weighted lather Iter with fast time
weighting is common for environmental noise measurement. The C -weighted filter is used for very
high sound level measurements and does not filter out low or high frequency sounds. It
approximates the human ear at very high sound levels and is typically used for measuring traffic.
machiner> and other loud sound sources. B -weighting is no longer commonly used and was
developed to filter the mid -range frequencies between A and C weighting.
The sound level meter recorded the following weighted averages:
• LAeq — The equivalent continuous sound level over a specified period of time that
represents the same energy as the actual time varying sound signal: The `A' in the above
variables denotes that the A -weighting has been included.
• LCeq — The equivalent continuous sound level over a specified period of time with C
weighting applied.
Decibels (dB) are a measure of sound energy based on a logarithmic scale. A sound level of 60
dB contains 10 times more sound energy relative to a sound level of 50 dB, and a sound level of
70 dB contains 100 times more sound energy relative to a sound level of 50 dB.
For comparison, Table 3 presents a summary of typical decibel levels for multiple types of sounds.

Attachment 3 contains the hourly average summary table and charts obtained from the
background ambient evaluation.
Common sounds for the Orca site primarily included noise from aircraft and birds. The sounds are
characteristic of a residential area. The overall study averages are comparable to sound levels in a
quiet home. All overages that did occur were due to air traffic. The A -Weighted data charts,
attached, illustrate the overages and their causes.
The maximum study LAN at the monitoring location was 62.6 dBA which occurred on Sunday,
March 17, 2019 at approximately 3:23 a.m. The sound level meter recorded all LAN signals greater
than or equal to 50 dB. From the recordings, the source of the maximum LAN value was an aircraft
flying near the monitor. All sound clips are identified to the best of TruHorizon personnel's ability.
