Company. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and
authority of the Member as set forth in this Agreement. The Member shall have all rights and

provision of this Agreement, the Member in its capacity as a member of the Company shall not
have any duty, fiduciary or otherwise (including any duty of disclosure), at law, in equity or
under this Agreement, to the Company in connection with the business and affairs of the
Company or any consent or approval given or withheld pursuant to this Agreement. The
foregoing sentence will not be deemed to alter the contractual obligations of the Member to the
Company pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Member shall have no voting rights or rights of approval, veto or consent or
similar rights over any actions of the Company and any references in this Agreement to any of
the foregoing terms shall be deemed to include each other term.
Section 8.2 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no Officer (in such
person's capacity as an Officer) shall be liable to the Company, the Member or any other person
that is a party to or bound by the terms of this Agreement, for losses sustained or liabilities
incurred as a result of any act or omission (in relation to the Company, any transaction, any
investment or any business decision or action, including for breach of duties including fiduciary
5
duties (including any duty of disclosure)) taken or omitted by such Officer (in such person's
capacity as an Officer), unless there has been a final and non -appealable judgment entered by a
court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such act or omission, and taking
into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Officer (in
such person's capacity as an Officer) would have had liability for such act or omissions if the
Company were a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any member that
serves as managing member, or his, her or its respective successors (in such Person's capacity as
a managing member), shall not owe duties, fiduciary or otherwise (including any duty of
disclosure), at law, in equity or under this Agreement, to the Company, or to any creditor of the
Company (even if the Company is insolvent or near insolvency), other than the implied
contractual covenants of good faith and fair dealing. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no member that serves as
managing member (in such Person's capacity as a managing member) shall be liable to the
Company, the Member or any other person that is a party to or bound by the terms of this
Agreement, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission (in
relation to the Company, any transaction, any investment or any business decision or action,
including for breach of contract or breach of duties including fiduciary duties (including any duty
of disclosure)) taken or omitted by such managing member (in such Person's capacity as a
managing member), unless there has been a final and non -appealable judgment entered into by a
court of competent jurisdiction determining that such managing member (in such Person's
capacity as a managing member) engaged in a bad faith violation of the implied contractual
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, engaged in fraud or, in the case of a criminal matter,
acted with knowledge that such managing member's conduct was unlawful.
(c) Subject to its obligations and duties as set forth in Article 4, the Member
may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties
imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the Member shall not
be responsible or liable to the Company for any mistake, action, inaction, misconduct,
negligence or fraud on the part of any such agent appointed by the Member.
(d) The Member and any of its or the Company's directors, managers, officers
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the officers), employees, shareholders, agents or
representatives (each, a "Covered Person") acting for, on behalf of or in relation to, the Company
in respect of any transaction, any investment, business decision or action, or otherwise, shall be
entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement and on the advice of counsel, accountants
and other professionals that is provided to the Company or such Covered Person, and such
Covered Person shall not be liable to the Company or to the Member for such Covered Person's
reliance on this Agreement or such advice, and each Covered Person may rely, and shall incur no
liability in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
consent, order, bond, signature or other writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may
rely on a certificate signed by an officer, agent or representative of any person in order to
ascertain any fact with respect to such person or within such person's knowledge; provided,
however, in each case, there has not been a final and non -appealable judgment entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such reliance, and taking into account
the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Covered Person engaged
6
in a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
engaged in fraud or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such Covered
Person's conduct was unlawful. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict
or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity,
are agreed by the Member to replace, to the fullest extent p ermitte d by applicable law, such other
duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. This Section 8.2 does not create any duty or
liability of a Covered Person that does not otherwise exist at law or in equity. Notwithstanding
any provisions of law or in equity to the contrary, whenever a Covered Person is permitted or
required to make a decision in its "sole discretion" or "discretion" or under a grant of similar
authority or latitude, such Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests
(including its own interests) and factors as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to give
any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, the Member or any other
person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Each Covered Person (regardless of such person's capacity and regardless
of whether another Covered Person is entitled to indemnification) shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company (but only to the extent of the Company's assets), to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, from and against any and all loss, liability and expense
(including taxes; penalties; judgments; fines; amounts paid or to be paid in settlement; costs of
investigation and preparations; and fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys, whether or not
the dispute or proceeding involves the Company or the Member) reasonably incurred or suffered
by any such Covered Person in connection with the activities of the Company or its subsidiaries;
provided, however, such Covered Person shall not be so indemnified and held harmless if there
has been a final and non -appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter for which such Covered Person is seeking
indemnification or seeking to be held harmless hereunder, and taking into account the
acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Covered Person engaged in a
bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, engaged in
fraud or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such Covered Person's
conduct was unlawful; provided, further, that such indemnification shall not apply if the
applicable action or proceeding has been brought by or in the right of the Company (whether
directly or by counterclaim) except with respect to expenses to the extent provided in this
Section 8.2. The indemnification provided by this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to any other
rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or
otherwise, both as to actions in such Covered Person's capacity as a Covered Person hereunder
and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased
to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and
administrators of such Covered Person. A Covered Person shall not be denied indemnification in
whole or in part under this Section 8.2 because such Covered Person had an interest in the
transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise
permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(f� Each Covered Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company (but only to the extent of the Company's assets), to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against costs of investigation and preparations and fees, expenses and
disbursements of attorneys reasonably incurred by any such Covered Person in connection with
the defense or settlement of any action or proceeding by or in the right of the Company if the
7
Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner that the Covered Person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no such indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim or proceeding as to which a Covered Person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction unless and only
to the extent that the authority rendering such judgment shall determine that despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the relevant circumstances, such Covered Person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such authority shall deem
proper.
(g) Reasonable, documented expenses incurred by a Covered Person for
which such Covered Person could reasonably be expected to be entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
or proceeding; provided, however, that any such advance shall only be made if the Covered
Person delivers a written affirmation by such Covered Person of its good faith belief that it is
entitled to indemnification hereunder and agrees to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
(h) The obligations of the Company to the Covered Persons provided in this
Agreement or arising under law, including any indemnification obligations under this Section
8.2, are solely the obligations of the Company and shall be satisfied from and limited to
Company assets, including insurance proceeds, if any, and no personal liability whatsoever shall
attach to, or be incurred by, the Member or other Covered Person for such obligations. Where
the foregoing provides that no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by a Covered
Person, any claims against or recourse to such Covered Person for or in connection with such
liability, whether arising in common law or equity or created by rule of law, statute, constitution,
contract or otherwise, are expressly released and waived under this Agreement, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of
this Agreement and any related agreement, and the incurring by the Company or such Member of
the obligations provided in such agreements.
(i) Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to (x) limit or waive any rights
that any person has for breach of contract under the terms of this Agreement or any other binding
agreement or (y) apply to any proceeding or dispute with respect to a Covered Person's
employment agreement or employment relationship with the Company or its affiliates.
j) As a result of agreements or obligations arising outside of this Agreement,
it may be the case that certain of the Covered Persons ("Sponsor Indemnitees") have certain
rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by Ares or certain of
its affiliates (collectively, the "Sponsor Indemnitors"). However, regardless of whether or not
there are any such certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance
provided by any Sponsor Indemnitor, (i) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., the
Company's obligations to each Sponsor Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the
Sponsor Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or
liabilities incurred by any Sponsor Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Company shall be required
to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by a Sponsor Indemnitee and shall be liable for
the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement, to the
S
extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement (or any other agreement
between the Company and the Sponsor Indemnitees) and (iii) the Company hereby irrevocably
waives, relinquishes and releases each of the Sponsor Indemnitors from any and all claims
against any of the Sponsor Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of
any kind in respect thereof. Regardless of any advancement or payment by the Sponsor
Indemnitors on behalf of any Sponsor Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which a Sponsor
Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company, (a) the foregoing shall not be affected
and (b) the Sponsor Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the
extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Sponsor
Indemnitee against the Company. The Sponsor Indemnitors are express third -party beneficiaries
of the terms of this Section 8.2.
(k) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 8.2 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on
liability of the Covered Persons, or terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or
future Covered Person, under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2 as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims
arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Cureton Midstream, LLC (Cureton) is in the process of expanding operations in Weld County,
Colorado. This project will include a compressor station and interconnecting pipelines for the
purpose of compressing and the transportation of natural gas through gas pipelines. This
application for a Use by Special Review Permit only addresses the construction of a four -
corn pressor station on Cureton owned property. Additional U S R permit applications will be
submitted for any future plants, compressor stations, pipelines or other facilities.
The closest cross streets to the proposed station are Weld County Road 8 and Weld County
Road 49. The site is located approximately 3.67 miles southeast of Hudson, Co. in South Weld
County.
The parcel number for the site is 147519300014.
Site address is to be determined.
Cureton intends to construct the proposed compressor station during the third quarter of 2018.
The compressor station is an un-manned facility. The station will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, year-round.
Because this is an un-manned station on leased property, no sewer or water is proposed for this
site.
After construction is complete in the autumn of 2018, traffic to the site will be limited to a daily
site visit by an operator and 1 truck twice a week.
Wherever possible the site will be shielded with berms, fencing and landscape.
All items presented in this application are preliminary and are subject to change until final
design is complete.
1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
This compressor station enables natural gas to travel through pipelines which is crucial to the
natural gas transport system. They also allow the gas to be rerouted into storage areas during
periods of low demand.
The Tiger compressor station will expand the capacity and will enhance the efficiency of moving
natural gas to a central processing plant. The Tiger station will remove any liquids and impurities
using dehydration and a slug catcher then compress the dry gas for transportation in pipelines
to a central processing plant for distribution. Any produced water and condensate will be
separated and trucked off -site for sale or subsequent disposal in accordance with federal, state
and local regulations.

2.0 USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
Planning Questions
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
To transport dry natural gas in pipelines the gas requires pressurization to efficiently
transport this gas. This station is an in -line station that intakes low pressure gas and
outputs high pressure gas thereby allowing the gas to continue traveling along pipelines.
The Tiger Compressor Station includes 4 compressors, a slug catcher, 3 -phase separator,
metering, dehydration, a combustor and MCC building with a 20' pole mounted
communication antenna, a fuel gas skid, small tanks and air compressor skid.
Most of the equipment will be horizontal or close to ground level. The exceptions to this
are the combustor at 30 -feet, communication antenna 20 -feet and dehydration tower at
49 -feet.
The combustor at 30' tall will operate continuously for the dehydration units and
atmospheric tanks at a low volume. The combustor will be enclosed (i.e. not open flames).
There are no plans for future expansion of this compressor station.
A Subdivision exemption will be applied for with this USR permit.
2. Explain how this proposal Is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22
of the Comprehensive Plan.
Section 22-2-10(D) of the Weld County Code states that 'extraction of natural resources is
an important part of the economy of the County." The proposed compression facility will
contribute to the expansion of the county's industrial economic base by providing
increased capacity for future marketing of oil and gas production in Weld County.
Additionally, Section 22-5-100 (A) states that a County goal is to "promote the reasonable
and orderly exploration and development of oil and gas mineral resources." The proposed
facility is consistent with this section in that the proposed site is within agricultural land,
and is clustered close to other oil and gas facilities. Per Chapter 22, oil and gas facilities are
allowed as a use by right in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. However, oil and gas storage
facilities, oil and gas support, and associated services require a Use by Special Review (USR)
permit in Weld County.
Section 22-2-20. G.2. A. Policy 7.2 states "Conversion of agricultural/and to nonurban
residential, commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site
is in an area that can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with
the region." The land that Cureton Midstream, LLC is proposing to utilize for the gas

compression is on dryland grasses that is located in a semi -rural area where there is a
significant amount of oil and gas activity already occurring.
Section 22-5-100. B.OG. Goal 2. states "Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources
conserves the land and minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing
surrounding land use."
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23
(Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
Section 23-3-10 indicates that uses that are "more intense and have a potentially
greater impact" are permitted within the A (Agricultural) zone district. The operation of a
compressor station for oil and gas operations while minimally intrusive is more suited for
less densely populated areas such as the proposed site. In addition, oil and gas
infrastructure is within close proximity of this property. Section 23-3-40 also indicates that
oil and gas support and service facilities are acceptable as a Use by Special Review within
the district.
Describe what land uses surround the site. Explain how the proposed use is consistent and
compatible with surrounding land uses.
The surrounding parcels can be classified as mixed use with agricultural, commercial,
Industrial and residential properties on the surrounding parcels of the proposed site.
Several parcels in in the area have some type of oil and gas infrastructure currently
operating.
5. What are the hours and days of operation?
The hours of operation for the facility will be 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.
6. List number of full time and/or part time employees propose to work at the site.
There will be no permanent employees working on the site. Only an operator will make a
daily site visit.
7. If shift work is proposed include number of employees per shift.
No shift work is proposed.
8. List Number of people who will use the site.
This station is an unmanned facility operated remotely.
9. List number& type of animals
There will be no animals on site.
10. Describe the type of lot surface and the square footage of each type.

GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A►. Site Location
1. The subject project is located in part of the northeast 1/4 of the southwest 1/4s
Section 19, Township 01 North, Range 64 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, County
of Weld, State of Colorado.
2. The property address is to be determined (TBD). The property is located
approximately 2,350 feet north of Weld County Road 6 and 2,400 feet east of Weld
County Road 49. No public streets are proposed to access or within the property.
B. Description of Property
1. The subject property for the compressor station will be a 5.68 acre lease of a larger
229.14 acre lot (parcel # 147519300014).
2. The property is mainly pastureland with native grasses and no trees.
3. There are no irrigation ditches on or adjacent to the property.
4. There are no lakes, streams in the area of the proposed development.
5. The subject property is not located in a floodplain. Box Elder Creek is located
approximately 2,500 feet east of the proposed site and approximately 15 -feet
higher than Box Elder.
6. The surrounding area development consists of open fields with residential
properties approximately 2,500 -feet north and 2,000 -feet south of the proposed
compressor station property.
7. Topographic relief over the property ranges from 5010' to 5006' in elevation and is
characterized by very flat grades that typically range from 0.5% to 1%. The site
generally slopes from the northwest to the southeast.
8. There are two (2) predominant soil types present, Colby Loam and Weld Loam,
(both with a USC rating of CL).
C. Existing and Proposed Drainage
1. The majority of the soils, Colby loam at approximately 80%, have a hydrologic soil
group rating of B, with the remainder of the soil, weld loam, having a hydrologic soil
group rating of C.
2. The site where the compressor station is proposed is pasture land with native
grasses and weeds. The existing drainage sheet flows across the site from northwest

to southeast and into surrounding open fields. Currently there are no water quality
features or erosion control measures for storm water runoff on the proposed site.
3. Stormwater from the improved site will be directed to a proposed 15,250 cubic -foot
detention and water quality pond (the 15,250 cubic -foot volume is a calculated but
preliminary number for storage) before discharging into the natural drainage
patterns. The detention pond will be designed to hold the 100 -year 1 -hour event
and release at the 10 -year 1 hour release rate following Weld County Drainage
requirements for Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposed detention will provide water quality and detention for the current
and proposed site development and releasing stormwater at the historic rates.
2. A full drainage report will be prepared and submitted with grading plans and
construction drawings.

RE: USR18-0022 Condition of Approval 1G
Dear Diana,
Cureton Midstream has prepared the following plans to address Condition of Approval 16 which reads,
"The applicant shall submit a Screening/Landscape Plan that screens the site from the Surrounding
Property Owners and the right-of-way." The facility is a small footprint on a leased parcel of land. Cureton
cannot construct tall berms surrounding the property due to site constraints. Water to irrigate the plant
material is not available.
Cureton reached out to surrounding property owners to share the visual mitigation analysis that was
prepared. To date, only two property owners have agreed to meet with Cu reton to discuss potential visual
mitigation for their property. These two property owners are considering placement of landscape
materials on their property. Cureton has reached out numerous times to the adjacent property owners
to review the visual mitigation analysis and discuss individual plans with them.
You will find a copy of the visual mitigation analysis attached. These plans illustrate different views of the
plant site prior to construction of the proposed compressor facility, and a simulated view of the property
post -construction. These simulations and views were studied so that Cureton can best understand the
concerns of the adjacent property owners. In addition, the results provide information that can be used
for placement of plant materials.
A sound wall will be constructed along the north, east and west sides of the compressor engines as
illustrated on the attached Site Plan. This sound wall serves a second purpose of screening the facility
visually from property owners to the north, east and west. The nearest property owner to the south is
approximately 2,300' feet from the proposed facility.
Cureton Midstream will select one of the two following plans to address Condition of Approval 16:
Plan 1: Escrow
A landscaping fund will be held in escrow to be managed by Cureton Midstream to fund landscaping for
installation on the lots of adjacent landowners with views of the facility. Under no circumstances is Weld
County obligated to manage or fund the landscaping fund.
Plan 2: Landscape Installation
The landscaping and screening plan shall include the following:

• Planting of Honeysuckle on the southern portion of the chain link fence at a spacing of 20' on-
center.
• Additional berming will be added, as space allows in the southwest corner, the northwest corner
and the northeast corner. It is anticipated these berms will be three feet tall. Native grasses will
be planted on the berms that is drought tolerant. A seed mix that yields taller species of grasses
will be selected.
• A water truck will be used to irrigate plant materials until established.
Cureton prefers to advance Plan 1 and we are seeking your approval of Plan 1 to address Condition of

1. Introduction
The following report provides a noise modeling assessment of the proposed Tiger Compressor Station operated by
Curcton Midstream in relation to the CRS 25-12-103 noise regulations. The noise modeling includes currently
proposed mechanical equipment per approved project documents dated 4/23/18. The Tiger Compressor Station
Facility (40°2'9.63"N, 104°35'39.52"W) is located adjacent to the intersection of Weld County Road 49 and Weld
County Road 6 approximately 3.6 miles southeast of Hudson, Colorado. The site is bordered by agricultural land with
some single-family homes to the north, south, east, and west. Figure 1-1 identifies the pad location.
To assess the predicted noise levels of the proposed operations, manufacturer sound level data of proposed equipment,
exhaust silencers, and acoustical buildings was used when available. File sound level data previously measured and
typical of the equipment was used when manufacturer sound level performance data was not available. The equipment
sound level data was used to construct a noise model using SoundPLAN 8.0 software.
The following is provided in this report:
• A brief introduction of the fundamentals of noise.
• A review of the applicable CRS 25-12-103 noise standards.
• Discussion of noise modeling methodology and results.

2. Noise Fundamentals
Sound is most commonly experienced by people as pressure waves passing through air. These rapid fluctuations in
air pressure are processed by the human auditory system to produce the sensation of sound. The rate at which sound
pressure changes occur is called the frequency. Frequency is usually measured as the number of oscillations per
second or Hertz (Hz). Frequencies that can be heard by a healthy human ear range from approximately 20 Hz to
20,000 Hz. Toward the lower end of this range are low-pitched sounds, including those that might be described as a
"rumble" or "boom". At the higher end of the range are high-pitched sounds that might be described as a "screech"
or "hiss".
Environmental noise generally derives, in part, from a combination of distant noise sources. Such sources may include
common experiences such as distant traffic, wind in trees, and distant industrial or farming activities. These distant
sources create a low-level "background noise" in which no particular individual source is identifiable. Background
noise is often relatively constant from moment to moment but varies slowly from hour to hour as natural forces
change or as human activity follows its daily cycle.
Superimposed on this low-level, slowly varying background noise is a succession of identifiable noisy events of
relatively brief duration. These events may include the passing of single -vehicles, aircraft flyovers, screeching of
brakes, and other short-term events. The presence of these short-term events causes the noise level to fluctuate.
Typical indoor and outdoor A -weighted sound levels are shown in Figure 2-1. Detailed acoustical definitions have
been provided in Appendix A — Glossary of Acoustical Terms.

3. CRS 25-12-103 Noise Standards
The modeling analysis was developed to predict operational noise levels at adjacent properties and verify compliance
of operations with the CRS 25-12-103 noise standards. The CRS code establishes permissible sound levels by type
of property and hours of the day. The measurement location is defined in Section 25-12-103(1) as "Sound levels of
noise radiating from a property line at a distance of twenty-five feet or more therefrom in excess of the dB(A)
established for the following time periods and zones shall constitute prima facie evidence that such noise is a public
nuisance".
Based on the specifications of the CRS 25-12-103 code, the Residential noise level limits listed in Table 3-1 will be
used throughout the report.

4. Tiger Compressor Station Facility Noise Modeling
4.1 Noise Modeling Methodology
The noise modeling was completed with use of three-dimensional computer noise modeling software. All models in
this report were developed with Saundl'LAN 8.0 software using the ISO 9613-2 standard. Noise levels arc predicted
based on the locations, noise levels and frequency spectra of the noise sources, and the geometry and reflective
properties of the local terrain, buildings and barriers. SoundPLAN 8.0 software simulates light downwind conditions
in all directions to ensure conservative assessments. The predicted noise levels represent only the contribution of the
proposed gas plant operations and do not include ambient noise or noise from other facilities. Actual field sound level
measurements may vary from the modeled noise levels due to other noise sources such as traffic, other facilities,
other human activity, or environmental factors.
The equipment sound level data used in the Tiger Compressor Station Facility plant modeling was sourced from
equipment manufacturer data per approved project design documentation. The modeling results predicted are
dependent on equipment and mitigation orientation as indicated per current (Rev. Date 4/23/18) project
documentation. Figure 4-1 shows the Tiger Compressor Station plot plan and mechanical equipment layouts utilized
in the study. Table 4-1 lists the modeled equipment for the facility.

4.2 Noise Sensitive Receptors
The noise sensitive receptors have been chosen to be consistent with the requirements of the CRS 25-12-103 noise
standards. The requirements indicate that sound levels of noise radiating from a property line at a distance of twenty-
five feet or more therefrom in excess of the dB(A) established for the following time periods and zones shall constitute
prima facie evidence that such noise is a public nuisance. As such, receptor locations were chosen at 25 ft. from the
surrounding property lines of the Tiger Compressor Station Facility to represent potential regulatory measurement
points should a complaint be made. Figure 4-2 shows the dBA noise sensitive receptor locations.

5. Conclusion
Predictive noise models were created to represent the proposed operations at the Tiger Compressor Station Facility
operated by Cureton Midstream. Noise sensitive receptor locations included in the models were placed in compliance
with the chosen noise standards of CRS 25-12-103.
The numerical and graphical noise modeling results for Scenarios 1 indicate that the proposed operations of the Tiger
Compressor Station are predicted to exceed the CRS noise limits by 14.2 dBA at Receptor Location 3. With
implementation of the recommended mitigation outlined in Scenario 2, the modeled receptor locations will comply
with the daytime and nighttime dBA limits for CRS 25-12-103

Ambient Noise
The all -encompassing noise associated with a given environment at a specified time, usually a composite
of sound from many sources both near and far.
Average Sound Level
See Equivalent -Continuous Sound Level
A -Weighted Decibel Scale
The human ear is more sensitive to some sound frequencies than others. It is therefore common practice to
apply a filter to measured sound levels to approximate the frequency sensitivity of the human ear. One such
filter is called the A -weighted decibel scale which emphasizes sounds between 1,000 and 5,000 Hertz by
discounting the frequencies outside of this range. As the human ear is less sensitive to low frequency noise,
the A -weighted decibel scale begins to increasingly discount noise below 500 Hertz.
Measurements conducted utilizing the A -weighted decibel scale are denoted with an "(A)" or "A" after the
decibel abbreviation (dB(A) or dBA). The A -weighted scale is nearly universally used when assessing noise
impact on humans.
C -Weighted Decibel Scale
High level low frequency noise can propagate large distances from its source. Although not always audible,
high levels of low frequency noise can induce vibrations in objects or structures which could become
evident in ways that might be annoying to humans (e.g., rattling of windows). The C -weighted decibel
scale, which was developed to estimate human ear sensitivity to high noise levels, is a flatter filter that does
not discount low frequency noise as much as the A -weighted decibel scale. As a result, a C -weighted decibel
measurement could be significantly higher than an A -weighted decibel measurement if the noise being
measured contains a heavy low frequency content.
Measurements conducted utilizing the C -weighted decibel scale are denoted with an "(C)" or "C" after the
decibel abbreviation (dB(C) or dBC). C -weighted noise level limits are sometimes included in noise
regulations as a way to address low frequency environmental noise issues.
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)
A 24 -hour A -weighted average sound level which takes into account the fact that a given level of noise may
be more or less tolerable depending on when it occurs. The CNEL measure of noise exposure weights
average hourly noise levels by 5 dB for the evening hours (between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm), and 10 dB
between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am, then combines the results with the daytime levels to produce the final

with increasing distance from the source .
Energy Basis
This refers to the procedure of summing or averaging sound pressure levels on the basis of their squared
pressures. This method involves the conversion of decibels to pressures, then performing the necessary
arithmetic calculations, and finally changing the pressure back to decibels.
Equivalent -Continuous Sound Level (Leq)
The average sound level measured over a specified time period. It is a single -number measure of time -
varying noise over a specified time period. It is the level of a steady sound that, in a stated time period and
at a stated location, has the same A -Weighted sound energy as the time -varying sound. For example, a
person who experiences an Leq of 60 dB(A) for a period of 10 minutes standing next to a busy street is
exposed to the same amount of sound energy as if he had experienced a constant noise level of 60 dB(A)
for 10 minutes rather than the time -varying traffic noise level. It is measured in decibels, dB.
Fast Response
A setting on the sound level meter that determines how sound levels are averaged over time. A fast sound
level is always more strongly influenced by recent sounds, and less influenced by sounds occurring in the
distant past, than the corresponding slow sound level. For the same non -steady sound, the maximum fast
sound level is generally greater than the corresponding maximum slow sound level. Fast response is
typically used to measure impact sound levels.

The decrease in sound power level measured at the location of the receiver when an element (e.g., a noise
barrier) is inserted in the transmission path between the sound source and the receiver.
Inverse Square Law
A rule by which the sound intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source. This
results in a 6dB decrease in sound pressure level for each doubling of distance from the source.
Ln Percentile Sound Level
The noise level exceeded for n% of the measurement period where n is between 0.01% and 99.99%. Usually
includes a descriptor i.e. A -weighting. Common Ln values include L, .1O, L 50, and LA9O levels. L 10
would represent the A -weighted sound level that is exceeded for 10% of the measurement period.
Masking
The process by which the thresholdof hearing for one sound is raised by the presence of another sound.
Maximum Sound. Level (Lmax)
The greatest sound level measured on a sound level meter during a designated time interval or event.
