DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Crude Oil Pipeline USR Summary Statement This Summary Statement has been prepared in accordance with Sections 23-2-500, 23-2-510 and 23-2-520 of the Weld County Code. In addition, requested materials listed in the Pre -Application Meeting notes from May 31, 2018 have been included. Responses to requirements listed in Section 23-2-51.0 are listed below: A. The applicant's name and telephone number. The Applicant for this proposed project is DJ South Gathering, LLC ("MG") which is a subsidiary company of ARB Midstream, LLC. Refer to the application form provided with the submittal materials for more contact information. B. Address of the applicant and general OFFICE Refer to the application form provided with the submittal materials for all address and contact information. C. Summary Statement of the project, to include when applicable: a. Source, capacity, size, destination and type of facilities, support STRUCTURES. lines, etc., involved. The proposed Matador Pipeline ("Project" or "Pipeline") would be a sixteen inch (16") outside diameter crude oil pipeline. The Project would begin at Bennett Station Adams County and would traverse approximately 21 miles in southern Weld County running generally south to north, entering Weld County just north of the intersection of Weld County Road 57 andWeld County Road 2 and ending at the existing oil and gas transloading and storage facility ("Destination Point") currently permitted under SR15-0016 located southwest and adjacent to the intersection of Weld County Road 49 & Weld County Road 30. This is the first submittal to Weld County for the Project network. At this time DJ SO doesn't plan to tie additional pipelines into the Project but that could change subject to customer demands. The Project would terminate at the Destination Point and from there, the crude oil would be stored and piped to various downstream markets. The proposed Project at full scope would transport crude oil gathered from several wells in multiple Counties in Colorado. The Pipeline would have the following specs: 16" O.D. X 0.281" W.T., X60, ERW, API 51, PSL2, w/ 14-16 MILS FBE (Line Pipe) and 16" O.D. X 0.375" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, W/14-16 MILS FBE and 30 MILS ARO (HDD Pipe). The Pipeline would be designed to transport up to 160,000 barrels per day with the ability to increase capacity in the future. The Pipeline would be designed to have a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,480 psi however DJSG would design the Pipeline to operate with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. The Pipeline would be monitored by a SCADA system that would issue notifications 24 hours -a -day, 7 days -a -week and 365 days -a -year. The SCADA system monitoring station would monitor the entire Pipeline including leak detection metering and overpresuure preotection equipment and would send notification to required personnel for any abnormal operation along the proposed Pipeline route (including the entire proposed Weld County portion of the P ip el ine). The Pipeline would also undergo a series of testing prior to being placed in-service, including 100% NDT or X-ray of girth welds and 8 -hr hydrostatic testing of the entire pipeline performed at 1.25 to 1.5 that of the MA0P. 1 Construction commencement is anticipated to be Spring, 2019 and would last through the summer 2019. Depending on permit approval, construction may be completed sooner. The pipeline easements are negotiated between private land owners and MSG. The temporary construction easement is approximately 75 -feet wide and will acco iodate construction and reclamation activities. The permanent eas ent is approximately 30-50 feet wide. At this time, 85% of the required easements are finalized and the other 15% are in negotiations. Pipeline depth requirements are currently in development with Weld County Public Works for road crossings. When the Pipeline is on private property the minimum depth of burial would be at least four feet (4') of cover from the surface to the top of the Pipeline. The proposed Pipeline w oul d traverse multiple times across designated 100 -year floodplains as shown in (Map 1) below. There are two FEMA FIRM Map Numbers (081230215 5E I& 08123O1 75E) associated with those designated crossing areas along the proposed pipeline route. Flood Hazard Development Permits will be applied for shortly after this USR application submittal for concurrent review.

A detailed report shall be submitted which includes information on the following items: i. A description of the PIPELINE - NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OTHER THAN NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - DOMESTIC WATER. The proposed Pipeline would transport crude oil and would have the following specs: 16" O.D. X 0.281" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, w/ 14-16 MILS FBE (Line Pipe) and 16" O.D. X 0.375" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, W/14-16 MILS FBE and 30 MILS ARO (HDD Pipe) . The Pipeline would be designed to transport up to 160,000 barrels per day with a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,480 psi however DJSG plans to operate the Pipeline with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. ii. A description of the preferred route or site and reasons for its selection. The proposed route crosses private/fee owned lands by means of right-of-way acquired by DJ SG. The majority of the route crosses private/fee owned lands, and therefore has resulted in the route primarily being dictated by each individual property owner. Final route selection and optimization was influenced by the ability to negotiate with, develop mutual consensus between, and the execution of agreements with property owners to obtain the needed right-of-way. 4 Several alternative routes were considered during the preliminary alignment determination phase. The proposed route was developed and modified many times through working with the property owners. The route proposed represents the best placement as determined with the property owners and minimizes impacts due to pipeline construction.

Field and desktop research, coupled with participation of private property owners to help identify routing alternatives and the final proposed route are the main procedures that helped in mitigating adverse impacts of the proposed routes on the private property owners. Environmental mitigation steps were also deployed to develop the route that is proposed for consideration through this USR Process as well. Please refer to the APEX Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment Report provided in the application to see all Environmental Mitigation steps taken when identifying the proposed route. The selected route was deemed to be the most direct route, with minimal environmental impacts and satisfied property owner placement requests. Temporary and permanent access points will be determined and applied for prior to construction of the pipeline and tracking control would be deployed to keep mud and debris off the County and State road networks. DiSG G has and will continue to work with property owners to locate their accesses within existing accesses that are equipped with adequate turning depth off the County Roads. Any appurtenant facilities such as block valves and launchers/receivers would be located outside of County right-of-way to allow safe access for maintenance and fi el d personnel. A drainage narrative accompanies this application submittal. Grading, erosion, and sediment control plans and details would be included in the design plans of the Pipeline. A construction Stormwater Management Plan would be developed with a Notice of Intent filed with the State of Colorado, Department of Public Health and Environment. Dust mitigation would be conducted by watering the disturbed area several times a day during construction with a watering truck, using water purchased from the local water district. Revegetation of disturbed areas would occur following placement of the Pipeline. The surface would be graded to minimize erosion and then replanted with the vegetation that existed prior to construction. Revegctation would be required for grassland and fallow land using native seed mixes specified by the local soil conservation service. Cultivated land would be graded to minimize erosion and then planted by the landowner for the next growing season. 7 d. An outline of the planned construction, including startup and commissioning schedule, to include the number of stages and timing of each. The entire Pipeline would be constructed at the same time. There would be one phase of this development. The planned construction timeline for this Project pending all permitting approvals is to commence Spring of 2019 and complete construction sometime in the Summer of 2019. e. Information of any public meeting conducted. to include the location, date, time. attendance and method of advertising. The Pipeline would be constructed within easements obtained by DJ SG from individual property owners throughout the entire Project. A map illustrating property ownership within 150 feet from either side of the Pipeline centerline, mailing information fact sheet, letter to the surrounding property owners and list of property owners the mailing was sent out to is included in the application materials. A description of the hazards, if any, of fire, explosion and other dangers to the health, safety and welfare of employees and the general PUBLIC. Risks from accidents is possible. Transportation of crude oil i rough underground pipeline is viewed to be safer that other means of transportation such as trucking and railroads. The risks associated with crude oil pipelines arc mitigated by the following protective measures: • Locating the pipelines, where feasible, away from heavily populated areas and sensitive areas such as schools and hospitals. • Classifying pipeline segments according to federal regulations in accordance with proximity to populated areas, schools, and hospitals and upgrading Factors of Safety associated with the pipeline strength with respect to pipeline volume and allowable pressures. • Burying pipelines to appropriate depths and using adequate engineering and construction principals to prevent geological damage to the lines. • Engineering valves and shut-off controls required to depressurize the pipeline when required for emergency situations. • Identifying pipeline routes with appropriate warning markers. • At locations where the proposed pipeline will cross existing pipelines (including County and public utility infrastructure), the existing pipeline owners will be contacted and plans and construction details will be approved for each crossing. Timber • ats are typically used to protect existing pipelines at locations where the Matador Pipeline construction ve a cles cross over the infrastructure. • A rigorous One -Call Notification procedure is in place and is uniformly enforced with both in-house personnel and contracted construction crews. Additionally, sweeping of the ROW also occurs to identify any additional pipelines not identified with the 811 One Call Notification process. • The pipeline route design will be mapped and field -located by crews working under the direction of a Licensed Surveyor. Immediately prior to construction, the survey 8 crews will stake out the pipeline centerline and casement boundaries based upon the approved and permitted construction drawings. • A SCADA system will monitor pressures and flows 24-7-365 and will issue notifications should any abnormal operating conditions be detected. g. A description of emergency procedures to be followed in case of a reported failure or accident involving the proposed PIPELINE - NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OTHER THAN NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - DOMESTIWATER. Such outline shall include actions, if any, required of PUBLIC officials, including fire and police officials, and the names and telephone numbers of appropriate company officials to notify if an accident or failure should occur. .DJir had a call with the Southeast Weld Fire Protection on September 5t' to discuss their need with regards to public safety and the emergency action plan. The Surrounding Property Owner Notification was also sent out to all local Emergency responders where the Pipeline is proposed prior to submitting the USR application. A specific Emergency Action Plan will be developed, and Roy Rudisill will be consulted for final sign -off.

A discussion of how the proposal conforms with the guidelines of Chapter 2.2 of this Code and any other applicable code provision or ordinance in effect. The application materials for the proposed Project are consistent with the intent of Chapter 22 Weld County Code and Comprehensive Plan. Details supporting this statement can be found in the following narrative: O.G. Goal 1. Promote the reasonable and orderly exploration and development of oil and gas mineral resources. The Pipeline alignment is located in an area where there is already significant amount of oil and gas development. By locating the Pipeline in this area, MSG will be able to lower the overall impact of oil and gas development in the area by providing the safest, cleanest, and most efficient means of resource transportation. Pipelines remove trucks from county roads and allow for a more orderly development of oil and gas exploration in the area. O.G. Policy 1.1 The County should encourage cooperation, coordination and communication between the suit{ice owner and the mineral owner/operations with respect to any developments of either the surface or the mineral estate. And 0.G. Goal 2. Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources conserves the land and minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses. The Pipeline route is surrounded by land uses primarily associated with the Agriculture Zone District. Land uses near the Pipeline include existing oil and gas facilities including other pipelines, existing agricultural facilities, and a few existing residential properties. Residential properties surrounding the Pipeline are sparsely distributed and consist mainly of large lot single family homes. Other thanCounty roads, the Pipeline will not travel through or underneath any significant structures. DJSG will agree to an easement with each property owner that the Pipeline crosses to ensure that the Pipeline is compatible with the property owner's future development plans for their property. By agreeing to an easement with each landowner, DJSG has committed to working with all landowners along the Pipeline route to ensure that the Pipeline will not adversely impact any property. O.G. Policy 2.1 Encourage oil- and gas -drilling activities to be coordinated with seasonal production schedules associated with agricultural activities. Promote and encourage the use of directional drilling to protect surface rights of a gricultura l lands and possible future land uses. DJSG has worked with each landowner to minimize impact to agricultural land. The casement agreements stipulate that they will provide compensation for loss of production as a result of the Pipeline installation. J. A Decommissioning Plan. The Pipeline will be designed to be safely operated for a projected lifetime of approximately 50 years. Integrity of the Pipeline will be regularly monitored during the life of the P ip el ine to ensure the thickness of the pipe is maintained at a level required to withstand pressures within the Pipeline, with adequate Factors of Safety included. 11 When the Pipeline is no longer useful to DJSG, it will be decommissioned and abandoned in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Typical decommissioning process includes: flushing the pipeline free from all residual hydrocarbons, capping and sealing the ends of the pip cline, removing all above ground appurtenances and filling the pipeline with inert gas for stabilization. k. A description of any haul routes during construction, identifying the roads and bridges involved and the weight of the loads. A Traffic Narrative has been included with application materials. Haul routes would be dictated by the particular portion of the pipeline under construction. DJSG would likely use Weld County Road 49, Weld County Road 55, State Highway 52 and Interstate 76 as main haul routes from the receiving facility to transport pipe to construction sites. The proposed laydown yard for this pipeline construction is located in the town of Hudson's municipal limits. There are no proposed laydown yards for this project located in unincorporated Weld County. All access points off County Roads would be constructed to County standards with respect to visibility, drainage, mud tracking, and safe egress without stopping on County Roads to unlock any gates. The haul routes selected will be documented on maps that would be provided to Contractors and truck drivers to identify the best route to the intended destination with minimal disturbance to other road users, with maximum safety to both Contractors and the public, and with minimal damage to existing County i rastructure. 1. Any other information determined to be necessary by the Department of Planning Services or its authorized representative to ensure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the COUNTY. The Pre -Application Meeting notes indicate the following items are to be described. Public Health Waste Handling Plan: Construction materials not utilized would be returned to the receiving facility or inventoried at Bennett Station. Hydrotest water would be discharged in accordance with all regulations. Wrappers and bottles generated from field crews would be taken away with the crew. Fuel Storage: There would be no fuel storage associated with this application. Potable water and sanitary sewage disposal: Bottled water would be provided for field and construction crews. Port -a -lets would be provided along the construction route. Planning Proposed signage, lighting and parking: There would be no permanent signage, lighting or parking associated with the proposed Pipeline application. If needed, portable lights would be used that are directed to the work area. Parking for crews would be minimal along the route in areas designated and approved by the property owners. 12 The following permits are required by additional jurisdictions for the construction of the proposed Pipeline. • State of Colorado Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan • State of Colorado Spill Prevention Countermeasure Control Plan • US Department of Transportation (DOT) Pre -Construction Notification • DOT Operations and Maintenance Manual • DOT Damage Prevention Program • DOT Integrity Management Plan • DOT Drug and Alcohol Plan • DOT Emergency Response Plan • DOT Operator Qualification Program • DOT Public Awareness Program • OSHA Safety Programs • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protected Species and Cultural Resource Permits and Surveys • Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Road Crossing Permits • US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Pre -Construction Notification • Railroad Crossings • Irrigation DitchCrossings • Applicable UtilityCrossings 13 APEX Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment Report Proposed 41 -mile Matador Pipeline and Bennett Station in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado DJ South Gathering, LLC July 13, 2018 INTRODUCTION DJ South Gathering, LLC is proposing to construct and operate the approximately 41 -mile Matador Pipeline and associated 72 -acre Bennett Station, hereafter referred to as the proposed Project (Attachment A, Figure 1). Occurring within Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado, the proposed Project's southern terminus at the proposed Bennett Station is located off Highway 79140, approximately three miles east of the town of Watkins, Adams County, Colorado. The approximately 41 -mile pipeline generally runs south -north from the proposed facility site to an existing facility at the intersection of County Roads 30 and 49 in Weld County. The proposed project has been routed/sited to minimize impact to the extent possible by utilizing existing corridors and disturbed areas. Installation of the pipeline will primarily consist of open -cut trenching; however, trenchless technology [horizontal directional drilling (HDD)] will be utilized at select locations such as roadways, utilities, water crossings, etc. Apex assumes in this analysis that all ponds, moderate to large streams, and canals/irrigation ditches will be avoided via HDD. The purpose of this desktop analysis is to evaluate the proposed Project for biological resources including aquatic resources such as waters of the United States (U.S.), state and federally listed threatened and endangered species, wildlife and cultural resources. PROJECT SETTING Topography Elevation of the proposed Project ranges from 4,798 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the existing facility at the northern terminus to 5,585 feet above msl in rangeland approximately 0.7 - mile east of the southern terminus at the Bennett Station. In general, the topography of the proposed Project generally decreases in elevation from south to north with localized decreases in elevation occurring at drainage crossings (Attachment A, Figure 2).

These five subwatersheds are located within the major watershed (HUC 8), Middle South Platte — Cherry Creek (10190003) (EPA 2018). Aerial imagery, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), and the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database indicate that there are numerous named USGS blue -lines, unnamed USGS blue -lines, and unnamed non -blue -line linear features intersected by the proposed Project. According to the USGS topographic map, the NWI database, or a combination of both resources, the proposed Project crosses two freshwater ponds. Additionally, the proposed Project intersects nine emergent wetlands as mapped by the NWI database (USFWS 2018a; Attachment A, Figure 3). The proposed Project does not intersect regulated floodplains in Adams County and there are three crossings of regulated floodplains in Weld County. (FEMA 2018; Attachment A, Figure 4). The proposed Project does not intersect any Critical Resource Waters (CRW), Gold Medal Waters, or Important Spawning Areas, as designated by the State of Colorado. In addition, no Designated Critical Habitat (DCH) waters under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is intersected. Ecoregion and Vegetation The proposed Project occurs entirely within the Flat to Rolling Plains (25d) Level IV Ecoregion of the High Plains (25) Level III Ecoregion as mapped by the Environmental Protection Agency Level DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 3 III and IV Ecoregions of Colorado poster. The Flat to Rolling Plains is more level and less dissected than the adjacent Moderate Relief Plains. Soils are generally silty with a veneer of loess. Dryland farming is extensive, with areas of irrigated cropland scattered throughout the ecoregion. Winter wheat is the main crop, with a smaller acreage in forage crops. Land use is predominantly rangeland, in contrast to the cropland or mosaic of cropland and rangeland of surrounding ecoregions. Soils are silty and clayey barns, formed from eolian n sediments, shallower than the thicker loess -capped uplands of the Flat to Rolling Plains. Blue grams-buffalograss is the natural shortgrass prairie type of the area. Most common vegetative species expected include blue grama (Bouteloua gracili), buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides), threadleaf sedge (Carex filifolia), fringed sage (Carex crinita), Junegrass (Koeleria spp.), and western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum spp.) (Chapman et at 2006). Desktop analysis suggests that variations of Palustrine, Emergent or Palustrine, Scrub/Shrub wetlands may exist within the Project area. If wetland communities are present, the wetland vegetation anticipated include cattail (Typha spp.), rough cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), plains switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.), bulrushes (Scirpus spp.), rushes (Juncus spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.) willows (Salix spp.) alder (Alnus spp.), peach -leaf willow (Salix amygdaloides) and cottonwoods (Populus spp.). Colorado Parks and Wildlife depicts the proposed Project intersects seven vegetation types (CPW 2013): • Agriculture is controlled use for production of biological products • Forested Riparian wooded interface between land and a river, stream or waterbody • Irrigated Ag is irrigated crops and fields • Grass/Forb Mix is rangeland co -dominated by grasses and forbs • Grass Dominated is rangeland dominated by annual and perennial grasses • Herbaceous Riparian is grasses, grass -like plants and forbs tolerant of intermittent flooding or saturated soils that are located in the transitional zone between land and a waterbody • Rangeland is a mix of non-native and native grasses, grass -like plants, forbs, or shrubs suitable for grazing or browsing use Soil Thirty-five different soil units are intersected by the proposed Project alignment. Table 1 lists the soil units within the 75 -foot corridor along the proposed Project (NRCS 2016).

WATERS OF THE U.S. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the USACE has the authority to permit the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. The term "waters of the U.S." is defined as: • All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; • All interstate waters including interstate wetlands; • All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the U.S. under the definition; • All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters: (i) which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes; or (ii) from which fish or shellfish DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 6 are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce; or (iii) which are used or could be used for industrial purpose by industries in interstate commerce; and • The territorial seas. In 2006, Rapanos v. United States clarified that waters of the U.S. are also defined as: Traditional Navigable Waters (TNW) and their adjacent wetlands; non -navigable tributaries of TNWs that are relatively permanent; and wetlands that directly abut such tributaries. In addition, the Rapanos decision clarified that the USACE asserts jurisdiction over every water body that is not a relatively permanent water (RPW) if that water body is determined to have a significant nexus with a TNW. A significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combinations with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or an insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of a TNW. The limit of USAGE jurisdiction for non -tidal waters of the U.S. in the absence of adjacent wetlands is the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). "Ordinary high water mark" is defined as that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas. Wetlands are defined as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions (USACE 1987). To be considered a wetland, an area must have: (1) a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, (2) hydric soils, and (3) appropriate wetland hydrology. The feature must have a hydric connection or significant nexus to a waters of the U.S. in order to be considered jurisdictional under Section 404. Certain geographic features are generally not considered waters of the U.S. by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE. These geographic features include swales, erosional features, and small washes characterized by low volume, infrequent and short duration flow; ditches draining wholly uplands and that do not carry a relatively permanent flow of water; and upland transporting of overland flow generated from precipitation. In addition, isolated features that do not have a significant nexus or connection to a water of the U.S. are not considered waters of the U.S. and are not federally regulated. On May 27, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the USAGE announced a final rule redefining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA). According to the agencies, the new rule revises the current definition of waters of the U.S. to be consistent with the CWA, legal rulings, the agencies' expertise and experience, and science concerning the interconnectedness of tributaries, wetlands, and other waters and effects of these connections on the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of downstream waters. The rule became effective on August 28, 2015. However, on October 9, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit stayed the Clean Water Rule nationwide pending further action of the court. In response, the EPA and USACE resumed the use nationwide of the agencies' prior regulations defining waters of the U.S. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 7 Using aerial imagery, the USGS topographic maps, the USGS NHD, and the NWI database, the proposed Project was reviewed for the presence of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The proposed Project appears to intersect numerous named USGS blue - lines, unnamed USGS blue -lines, and unnamed non -blue -line linear features. According to the USGS topographic map, the NWI database, or a combination of both resources, six ponds were mapped in the proposed Project area. Additionally, the proposed Project intersects nine emergent wetlands based on the NWI database (USFWS 2018a). Each crossing of an aquatic feature that could be considered a potential waters of the U.S. intersected by the proposed Project is listed within Table 2 below. This table is not all inclusive of features potentially present within the proposed Project area. Field verification would be necessary to confirm the existence and boundaries of features present, and to estimate proposed Project impacts. The locations of these features are depicted in Figure 3 in Attachment A. The highlighted features are proposed for avoidance via HDD technology or were included in the study area but are not currently proposed for impact based on facility layout.

Field verification required to confirm actual site conditions. Please note the final authority in determining jurisdiction of a tributary or wetland, including significant nexus decisions, rests with USACE. Requirements for Preconstruction Notification Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates discharge and fill in waters of the U.S. The USACE authorizes the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines, and the associated excavation, backfill, or bedding for utility lines under Nationwide Permit 12. Utility line projects are typically authorized without PCN to the USACE provided there is no change in pre -construction contours and the project meets all general conditions. A PCN to and written authorization from the USACE is required for the proposed Project, if any of the following criteria as listed below are met at a single and complete crossing. Field verification to confirm all the assumptions below is required. Mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of-way is required Based on a review of available sources, it does not appear that the proposed Project intersects any forested wetlands. A Rivers and Harbors Section 10 permit is required No resources identified as a Section 10 water is intersected by the proposed Project. The utility line in waters of the U.S., excluding overhead lines, exceeds 500 feet Based on a review of available sources and the proposed Project construction plan, features that may be impacted for greater than 500 linear feet are proposed for avoidance. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 10 The utility line is placed within a jurisdictional area (i.e., water of the United States), and it runs parallel to a stream bed that is within that jurisdictional area Based on a preliminary review of available sources, the proposed Project does not appear to run parallel to a stream bed and within a jurisdictional area. Discharges that result in the loss of greater than 1/10 -acre of waters of the United States Impacts to waters of the U.B. that would result from the proposed pipeline construction are generally considered temporary, provided all construction is temporary in nature and the features are restored to preconstruction contours, such that no net loss of waters occurs. For this proposed Project, open -cut trenching activities would be consistent with this designation of temporary impacts. However, mechanically clearing a forested/shrub wetland for the installation and/or maintenance of a pipeline easement is considered a conversion of a forested/shrub wetland into an emergent wetland and would result in a loss of certain wetland functions. This is considered by the USACE to be a permanent impact and loss of waters of the U.S. As the aquatic resources have not been field verified and the construction plan for the proposed Project has not been finalized, potential losses to waters of the U.S. cannot be estimated at this time. Permanent access roads are constructed above grade in waters of the United States for a distance of more than 500 feet, and/or permanent access roads are constructed in waters of the United States with impervious materials (Sections 10 and 404) No permanent access roads in waters of the U.S. are known to be proposed for the proposed Project at this time. 2017 Colorado Regional Conditions Applicability The USACE Albuquerque District has issued regional conditions applicable to all projects within the state of Colorado. These regional conditions issued in 2017 list five Regional Conditions Applicable to Specific Nationwide Permits within theState of Colorado. Based on the anticipated authorization of the proposed Project by NWP 12, one condition would likely be applicable to the proposed Project as described below: 1. Nationwide Permit No. 12 Utility Line Activities: Notification to the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition (GC) No. 32, PCN is required for utility line activities that propose open trenching in perennial waters or for the purpose of creating a water intake. Utilizing information from multiple sources as described within this analysis, approximately four crossings of perennial streams/canals by the proposed Project are estimated. It has been communicated to Apex that all perennial water features will be avoided utilizing HDD bores. Field verification of the potential resources intersected would be required. In addition, the proposed Project will be utilized for the transmission of crude oil and will not result in the withdrawal of water from a stream/river. No PCN is required for this criterion. In addition, the 2012 regional conditions in Colorado include four conditions identified as Regional Conditions Applicable to All Nationwide Permits within the State of Colorado. None of the four listed conditions apply to the proposed Project as it is not located within or in the vicinity of important spawning areas (Gold Medal Waters), fens or springs. Soils removed during construction will be utilized as backfill and the use of temporary fills is not anticipated. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, Co July 2018 Page 11 FEDERALLY LISTED THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has authority under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to list and monitor the status of species whose populations are considered imperiled. Species listed as threatened or endangered by the USFWS are provided full protection under the ESA including a prohibition of indirect "take." The term "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct with regards to a federally -endangered species. According to the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC; Attachment C), nine federally listed species should be considered in an effects analysis for the proposed Project: Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), least tern (Sterna antillarum), Mexican spotted owl (Stria occidentalis lucida), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), whooping crane (Grus americana), pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus), Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera coloradensis), Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis), and western prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera praeclara) (USFWS 2018b).

Fishes pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) F Occupies large, turbid, free - flowing riverine habitat, typically in strong currents over firm gravel or sandy substrate. Sturgeons primarily utilize main channel, secondary channel, and channel border habitats and are rarely observed in areas without flowing water (USFWS 2014b) . While the pallid sturgeon does not occur in Colorado, the fish inhabits the lower reaches of the Platte River and disturbances to tributaries of the South Platte River in Colorado may impact the species downstream. No; the proposed Project will not cross the South Platte River and no water would be removed from the South Platte River as part of the project. Plants Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera caloradensis) Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) T T Occurs on subirrigated, alluvial soils, on level or slightly sloping floodplains and drainage bottoms at elevations of 4,850 to 6,400 feet. Populations are typically found in habitats created by streams active within floodplains, with vegetation that is relatively open. Often found in low depressions, or along bends in wide, meandering stream channels (USFWS 2017). Originally thought to only inhabit early successional riparian habitats such as moist stream beds, wet meadows, point bars, sand bars, abandoned stream channels, and low lying gravelly, sandy, or cobbly edges, this species has also been found in Na; while the proposed Project occurs within the overall species range (CPW 2017a), the nearest known occupied occurrence is over 18 miles to the east (CPW 2011).

No further action is recommended for federally listed species. COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE LISTED SPECIES Five species are state listed in CPW's Species Activity Mapping (SAM) data as having overall range, foraging area, concentration area, or winter range within and around the proposed Project, including black -tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The potential for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse to occur at the proposed Project was previously discussed above in Table 3. GPW listed black -tailed prairie dogs as having an overall range intersecting the proposed Project. These highly social rodents live in colonies made up of burrows in the ground. Several species depend on prairie dogs, either as prey or, as in the case with burrowing owls, to use their burrows. Prairie dogs receive no federal or state protection but may sometimes be regulated by local municipalities; however, the species is considered a keystone species, a species that has a disproportionately large effect on the communities in which it occurs. Prairie dogs utilizes short - grass prairie as habitat which is expected in large expanses of the proposed Project. Field reconnaissance would be required to determine the locations and boundaries of active colonies, if any, within the proposed Project boundaries. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 15 The proposed Project is located within the mule and white-tailed deer overall range. Prospect Reservoir and the nearby Horse Creek Reservoir (approximately 3 -miles west), both in the vicinity of the Adams -Weld County line, are designated as mule deer winter concentration areas and white -tail deer concentration areas. The designation focuses around the two reservoirs and extends north into Weld County (CPW 2017c). Due to vegetation preferences, which includes woody vegetation and crops, they would likely remain outside of the proposed Project, but may pass through. Additionally, no tall vegetation is anticipated within the proposed Project boundary that would provide refuge for deer and other larger animals. If deer or other transient species are present at the proposed Project, they will likely leave at the onset of construction. The nearest big game migration corridor identified in the area is located approximately 3.5 -miles west of the proposed Project, adjacent to the western boundary of Horse Creek Reservoir. While not listed in SAM data, CPW lists seasonal restrictions for nesting raptors, including red- tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus), northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), and burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia). Based on a desktop analysis, it is likely that there are trees suitable for nesting raptors within 'A mile of the proposed Project, which is the maximum recommended seasonal buffer zone for the listed raptors. In addition, 22 known raptors nests of varying status were identified within '/-mile of the proposed Project in Weld County (Attachment A, Figure 5). Seasonal recommended restriction dates by CPW range fromas early as February 1st to as late as July 31s- New construction activities during this time period should include clearance surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. Burrowing owls are listed as a threatened species by the state of Colorado and are federally protected by the MBTA. The western burrowing owl is locally common in northeast Colorado and utilizes the burrows of prairie dogs within actively inhabited and maintained prairie dog towns for nesting. Potential burrowing owl habitat on or within 150 feet of the proposed Project is anticipated due to the high potential for active prairie dog colonies. Habitat can be created or become undesirable dependent on current colonization patterns of prairie dogs. Field reconnaissance would be required to determine the locations and boundaries of active colonies, if any, within the proposed Project boundaries. Any new construction activities between March 15th and October 31st should be preemptively accompanied by clearance surveys conducted by a qualified biologist. MIGRATORY BIRDS The MBTA makes it illegal to "pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture or kill, possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to purchase, purchase, deliver for shipment, ship, cause to be shipped, deliver for transportation, transport, cause to be transported, carry, or cause to be carried by any means whatever, receive for shipment, transportation or carriage, or export, at any time, or in any manner, any migratory bird...or any part, nest, or egg of any such bird." Harm to a migratory bird, active nest, or eggs are prohibited by the MBTA; however, the destruction of habitat or inactive nests is not. While not a comprehensive list of all migratory birds that may be at or in the vicinity of the proposed Project, the USFWS has listed nine migratory birds of conservation concern that might be affected by project activities, including the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), Cassin's sparrow (Airnophila cassinii), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), hudsonian godwit (Limosa haemastica), lark bunting (Calamospiza melanocorys), lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes), mountain plover DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 16 (Charadrius montanus), willet (Tringa semipalmata), and willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii) (USFWS 2018). Of these nine species, the burrowing owl and mountain plover are the only ground nesting birds with a breeding range that overlaps the proposed Project. Mountain plover, like burrowing owls, use prairie dog colonies to provide suitable breeding habitat ICECAP 2016). Suitable mountain plover habitat may exist within the proposed Project boundaries; however, mountain plovers are not typically known to nest in Adams County and in discrete portions of Weld County. Field reconnaissance of potential habitat is recommended if disturbance activities will be conducted April 1st through July 31st. If construction activities are expected to commence within the nesting season for the burrowing owl (March 1 " to October 31st), presence/absence surveys by a qualified biologist are recommended. BALD EAGLES While the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has been delisted due to recovery, this species is still protected under the BGEPA. This species, as well as the golden eagle, is found primarily near rivers and large lakes and nests in tall trees or on cliffs near water (USFWS 2007). One known bald eagle nest within 'AA mile of the proposed Project was identified and located in the vicinity of the Hudson Canal in Weld County (CPW 2017c; Attachment A3 Figure 5). In addition, trees suitable for nesting eagles are expected to be in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Any construction activities conducted between October 15th and July 31st should be accompanied by surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. CULTURAL RESOURCES Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies, agencies, including the USAGE, to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. The USACE's implementation of this rule is acknowledged in General Condition 20 of NWP 12. Projects utilizing federal funds, located on federal land, and/or requiring permits, license, or permission from a federal agency must comply with Section 106. Colorado Statute — CRS 24-80-401-4011 requires consultation with the office of state archaeologist (OSA) when activity may affect cultural resources on state public land and the OSA shall issue permits for cultural resource investigations on public land. To Apex's knowledge, approximately 1.5 miles of state land may need to be surveyed along the pipeline corridor in Weld County. Coordination with the state and the OSA will be conducted to determine the extent of investigation required. A review of records of the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's (OAHP) online compass database was completed in June 2018 to identify previously conducted inventories and previously recorded sites near the proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline (Project), which consists of an approximately 40 -mile -long pipeline and an associated facility in Adams County, Colorado. It has been communicated to Apex that all railroads, canals and perennial waterways will be avoided vi.a HDD. The desktop review extended the full length of the proposed pipeline and covered 0.5 miles on either side of the centerline, for a total width of 1 mile. A variety of previously conducted cultural resources surveys, including projects for oil and gas development, an airport, a sewage treatment plant, and federal agencies, are inside the file DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 17 search area. Within the 1 -mile -wide file search area, there are 15 previously recorded sites. Of these, six intersect the pipeline centerline, and include a road, one cutoff, one transmission line, one railroad, one canal, and one historical habitation site. Table 4 summarizes the previously recorded sites that intersect the centerline, including each resource's eligibility and general location along the proposed route. A review of the topographic maps, coupled with the Compass records, indicates there is one railroad that intersects the pipeline centerline that is unrecorded within the file search area, but has a documented site number and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) determination from at least one recording that occurred outside the 0.5 -mile review area. The Burlington Northern Railroad (5WL1423, officially eligible) crosses the centerline approximately 0.2 miles north of AGV No. 4 in Weld County. Table 4 — Summary of Previously Recorded Sites Site Number Site Name/T a y County General Location y� Eligibility 5AM149 Box Living Road Elder- Springs Field not eli ible g Adams Bennett Station 5AM147 Ft Morgan Cutoff Field not eligible Adams Bennett Station 6AM4 Kansas Pacific Field not eligible Adams 1.7 Station miles north of Bennett Railroad 5AM1531 Historic habitation Officially not eligible 9 Adams 210 south ft. west of of AGV line; No. 1 2.1 miles 5AML3154.2 Hoyt Street transmission -Terry Does support (not eligible) not linear Weld 6.5 miles south of AGV No. Denver enver Hudson canal Field eligible g Weld AGV No. Two topographic features were identified that cross the proposed Project pipeline. Both consist of segments of the Jim No. 1 Lateral (Weld County), which appears to be unrecorded in the Compass database. Based on the file searchresults, a high density of historical sites is anticipated to be found during the inventory of the proposed Project and field survey is recommended. Many of these sites are expected to be linear resources, primarily canals, but with some railroads also present. A low site density of prehistoric sites is expected to be found (Alpine 2018). All known resources identified as eligible for listing on the NRHP are proposed for avoidance; however, field survey is recommended to assess areas of federal nexus in order to satisfy Section 106 requirements. The complete cultural resources review is included as Attachment D. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 18 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Numerous linear and non-linear water features, and special aquatic sites, including emergent wetlands, were identified as potentially intersected by the proposed Project. A list of the potential features identified is included in Table 2. The table is not all inclusive of features potentially present within the proposed Project area. Field verification would be necessary to confirm the existence and boundaries and in order to permit impacts, as necessary. The locations of these features are depicted in Figure 3 in Attachment A. • Habitat for the nine federally -listed species in Adams and Weld County is not anticipated within the proposed Project boundaries. However, field verification is recommended to confirm. • One known bald eagle nest within 1,4 mile of the proposed Project was identified and located in the vicinity of the Hudson Canal in Weld County and 22 known raptors nests of varying status were identified within 1 -mile of the proposed Project in Weld County. In addition, trees suitable for nesting eagles and raptors are expected to be in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Any construction activities conducted between October 15th and July 31st should be accompanied by surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. • If initial land disturbance is anticipated from March 15th to October 31st, a resurvey for potential burrowing owl habitat should be conducted. If potential habitat is found,, surveys should be conducted in accordance with the CPW Recommended Survey Protocol and Action to Protect Nesting Burrowing Owls should be conducted prior to the start of construction. • Suitable mountain plover habitat may exist within the proposed Project boundaries; however, mountain plovers are not typically known to nest in Adams County and in discrete portions of Weld County. Field reconnaissance of potential habitat is recommended if disturbance activities will be conducted April 1st through July 31st. • The proposed Project is located within the mule and white-tailed deer overall range. Prospect Reservoir and the nearby Horse Creek Reservoir (approximately 3 -miles west), both in the vicinity of the Adams -Weld County line, are designated as mule deer winter concentration areas and white -tail deer concentration areas. The designation focuses around the two reservoirs and extends north into Weld County. Due to vegetation preferences, which includes woody vegetation and crops, they would likely remain outside of the proposed Project, but may pass through. If deer or other transient species are present at the proposed Project, they will likely leave at the onset of construction construction of the site should follow best management practices (BMPs) outlined by the CO CC to minimize adverse impacts from oil and gas operations. Potential BMPs include exclusion fencing; avoidance of unnecessary disturbance to habitats by driving on existing roads; working only in the required area; avoiding streams, wetlands, or riparian zones; and monitoring for unintended consequences to wildlife. A► stormwater Management Plan for the site has been developed to reduce runoff, offsite erosion and sedimentation, and dust production during construction. • In areas of trenching, any trenches left overnight should be covered, or a means of egress provided for any wildlife that may enter the trench. Trenches should be checked for wildlife before commencing work the following day and any trapped wildlife removed and allowed to exit the construction area. If a sensitive species is found or suspected, work should stop while a qualified biologist is contacted to relocate the animal.

Map units are composed of one or more map unit components or soil types, each of which is rated as hydric soil or not hydric. Map units that are made up dominantly of hydric soils may have small areas of minor nonhydric components in the higher positions on the landform, and map units that are made up dominantly of nonhydric soils may have small areas of minor hydric components in the lower positions on the landform. Each map unit is rated based on its respective components and the percentage of each component within the map unit. The thematic map is color coded based on the composition of hydric components. The five color classes are separated as 100 percent hydric components, 66 to 99 percent hydric components, 33 to 65 percent hydric components, 1 to 32 percent hydric components, and less than one percent hydric components. In Web Soil Survey, the Summary by Map Unit table that is displayed below the map pane contains a column named 'Rating'. In this column the percentage of each map unit that is classified as hydric is displayed. Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part (Federal Register, 1994). Under natural conditions, these soils are either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation. The NTC HS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register, 2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey Division Staff, 1993). If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric, they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field. These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to make onsite determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006). References: Federal Register.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale. Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factorscould change this, list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat, Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the EGOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CF402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 2 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.goyiendangerediesa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http : // www. fws . gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIs sueslHazards/towers/towers .htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http : //www. fws . gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIs sues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html.

This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4 -week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (I) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the l Okm grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 5 The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKK). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cells) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the E -bird Explore Data Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my pr of ect area ? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing) . 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 6 Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your proj e ct review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NC OS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use ofYour Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cells) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 1 Wetlands Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.

A Cultural Resources Desktop Review of the Proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline On June 20, 2018, Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (Alpine) reviewed the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's (OAHP) online Compass database to identify previously conducted inventories and previously recorded sites near the proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline (Project), which consists of an approximately 40 -mile -long pipeline and an associated facility in Adams County, Colorado. The desktop review extended the full length of the proposed pipeline and covered 0.5 miles on either side of the centerline, for a total width of 1 mile. A variety of previously conducted cultural resources surveys including projects for oil and gas development, an airport, a sewage treatment plant, and federal agencies are inside the file search area. The largest of the nearby surveys do not overlap the Project centerline, and thus do not allow for survey exclusion. Those projects that do overlap the Project centerline are so small that any survey exclusion is insignificant. Within the 1 -mile -wide file search area, there are 15 previously recorded sites. Of these, five intersect the pipeline centerline, and include a road, one transmission line, one railroad, one canal, and one historical habitation site. Table 1 summarizes the previously recorded sites that intersect the centerline, including each resource's eligibility and general location along the proposed route. A review of the topographic maps —coupled with the Compass records indicates there is one railroad that intersects the pipeline centerline that is unrecorded within the file search area, but has a documented site number and NRHP determination from at least one recording that occurred outside the 0.5 -mile review area. The Burlington Northern Railroad (SWL 1423, officially eligible) crosses the centerline approximately 0.2 miles north of AGV No. 4. Table 1. Summary of Previously Recorded Sites along the Centerline.

Both consist of segments of the Jim No. 1 Lateral, which appears to be unrecorded in the Compass database. Based on the file search results, Alpine anticipates a high density of historical sites to be found during the inventory of the Project. Many of these sites are expected to be linear resources, primarily canals, but with some railroads also present. A low site density of prehistoric sites is expected to be found. ARB Midstream Matador Pipeline Drainage Narrative Following pipeline construction, the Right-of-way will be graded to match existing contours and will be seeded with improved or native grasses, or left fallow per the property owner's request. Drainage patterns will not be altered and a formal drainage report is not required. TETRA TECH TECHNICAL MEMO To: Weld County From: Gene Coppola PE Date: July 31, 2018 Subject: Traffic Narrative for ARB Midstream Matador Pipeline I am writing to address the traffic impacts of the proposed Matador pipeline. The pipeline will be built from the southern Weld County line, north to almost WCR 30 and will generally run parallel to CR 49 and CR 51. It will be built in public or purchased rights -of -way. At roadway crossings, it will go under the road. Construction traffic will be in the range of 125 passenger vehicles/pick-up trucks and 6 — 8 large trucks per day. The number of vehicles may change once the construction process is finalized. A laydown yard is planned in Hudson and at the facility in Adams County. It is anticipated that 6 — 9 months will be required to build the pipeline assuming a single crew and acceptable weather. Most construction traffic is expected to use CR 49 and/or CR 51 to arrive and/or depart the general area since the majority of workers are expected to stay or live in the Greeley, Fort Lupton, Keenesburg or Hudson areas. Current traffic using CR 49 in this area is in the range of about 6,000 — 7,000 vehicles per day. CR 51 serves some 400 — 800 vehicles per day. This data was obtained from Weld County. With the addition of 125 vehicles per day and an assumed 25 supply vehicles per day per crew, daily traffic during construction could increase to 6,300 — 7,300 vehicles per day (vpd) on CR 48 and 650 — 800 vpd on other county roads. Future permanent pipeline traffic will add 1 — 2 vehicles per day. These vehicles will likely be pickups performing routine inspection and maintenance functions. They are not expected to produce any noticeable impact on roadway operations. In summary, the traffic impacts of the proposed Matador pipeline are negligible. Please contact me if you have any questions or need further assistance.

You are receiving notice of this proposed development as your property is within 150 feet from the centerline of the proposed crude oil pipeline. The proposed Matador Pipeline will transport crude oil from Bennett Station, located in Adams County near Interstate 70 and Manilla Road to an existing oil and gas storage and transloading facility located in Weld County approximately 1,000 feet southwest of the intersection of County Road 49 and County Road 30. Bennett Station will be the central deliver point f`CDP" for multiple producers located in Adams and Arapahoe Counties. From the storage facility in Weld County, the crude oil will have access to downstream markets via various third -party interstate and intrastate pipelines that are already in place. DJSG is a crude oil and natural gas and refined products transportation company comprised of seasoned professionals who are familiar with the commitment Colorado communities place on safety and protection to the environment. Our management team and board of directors has a combined industry experience of more than 150 years.Currently, DJSG safely operates approximately 140 miles of pipelines in Weld and Lorimer Counties. At DJSG we believe our reputation proceeds us in how we interact with landowners, the quality land use application we submit and our commitment to collaborate with the public and government officials in the communities in which we work. Supplied with this letter is a map of the proposed Matador pipeline route though Weld County along with a FAQsheet. DJSG will be working toward submitting the Weld County Use -by -Special Review Permit application in the next few weeks in hopes of approval and start of construction early next year. We would be more than happy to address any questions you or your family may have about this project. Please contact us at: 888-501-9397 or MatadorP'ipelinelnfo@ARBMidstream.com.

Our management team and Board of Directors has a combined energy industry experience of more than 150 years. Currently, ARB safely operates approximately 140 miles of pipelines in Weld and Larimer Counties. At ARB, we believe our reputation precedes us in how we interact with landowners, the quality land use application we submit, and our commitment to collaborate with the public and government officials in the communities in which we work. We are guided on every project that we undertake by our company strategy centered around an "Analyze, identify, execute and operate" philosophy. What materials will be transported in the ARB Matador Pipeline? The 16"-20" atador Pipeline will transport crude oil and will be engineered to operate at a Maxim' Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of 1480 psi with Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. Where is the crude oil coming from and where is it going to? The Matador Pipeline will transport crude oil gathered from various oil and gas production facilities in Adams and Arapahoe Counties. Gathering lines will transport the oil from the production facilities and deliver to the Matador Pipeline at Bennett Station. The destination for the oil transported by the Matador Pipeline is a facility in Weld County located at Weld County Roads 30 and 49. From these facilities, the crude oil will have access to downstream markets via various third -party interstate and intrastate pipelines. How is the pipe placed in the ground? The Matador Pipeline will be horizontal directional drilled under roads, ditches, highways, rivers, rail lines and open cut in fields. All disturbed property will be reclaimed to the condition that existed prior to our activities. ARB's existing pipeline projects have always been reclaimed and left in a condition that meets or exceeds the landowner's expectations. What safety measures will be in place for the ARB Matador Pipeline? Crude oil pipelines are an extremely safe way to transport energy. The Matador Pipeline is being designed to exceed DOT regulations. This will employ automated pressure shut down systems and leak monitoring equipment. ARB employs an independent safety team who is trained in operations, maintenance and emergency response related to the pipeline. All operations, training, qualifications and any required responses are strictly defined by the US Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and followed by ARB. In the unlikely event of an emergency, ARB personnel would respond and react based on the various factors surrounding the event. ARB contracts an Oil Spill Response Organization which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with all necessary support personnel, equipment and resources to respond to any size e l ergency. Communications and visits will be conducted with local emergency planningcommittees and first response personnel in areas the Matador Pipeline will operate. Attached: FAQ document How many trucks will be removed from roads by the ARB Matador Pipeline? Based on current producer commitments to the Matador Pipeline, we estimate transportation of crude oil via pipeline vs. traditional trucking will eliminate approximately 2.22 MM trucks from Weld County roads in the first ten years of the project. What permits are required and who is regulating the ARB Matador Pipeline? A land use permit is required through Weld County. In addition, road crossing permits and flood hazard development permits from Weld County will be required, where necessary. Pipelines also require additional permits, programs and plans listed below: • State of Colorado Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan • State of Colorado Spill Prevention Countermeasure Control Plan • US Department of Transportation (DOT) Pre -Construction Notification • DOT Operations and Maintenance Manual • DOT Damage Prevention Program • DOT Integrity Management Plan • DOT Drug and Alcohol Plan • DOT Emergency Response Plan • DOT Operator Qualification Program • DOT Public Awareness Program • OSHA Safety Programs • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protected Species and Cultural Resource Permits and Surveys • Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Road Crossing Permits • US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Pre -Construction Notification • Railroad Crossings • Irrigation Ditch Crossings • Applicable Utility Crossings • Arapahoe County required Permits DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW - USRI8-XXXX MATADOR PIPELINE FOR: DJ SOUTH GATHERING, LLC SECTIONS 6, 6, 7, 8. 15, 16, 17, 22, 26, 27, 35, Ti N, R64W; SECTIONS 18, 19, 30, 31, T2N, R64W; SECTIONS 1, 2, 12, 13, T2N, R65W; AND SECTIONS 25, 36, T3N, R65W OF THE 6TH PM, COUNTY OF WELD, STATE OF COLORADO VICINITY MAP WWI I 1 / w Ill 4 - M, 5 \I +4ri it , „.._ 24 - nt o 4 1 il Y II u, I\r' !Itiiii ,' 6 L _ n# , 1) Lae k . .

ARTORGLLC Page 3 of 3 Rev. 12/01/2012 TETRA TECH TECHNICAL MEMO To: Weld County From: Gene Coppola PE Date: July 31, 2018 Subject: Traffic Narrative for ARB Midstream Matador Pipeline I am writing to address the traffic impacts of the proposed Matador pipeline. The pipeline will be built from the southern Weld County line, north to almost WCR 30 and will generally run parallel to CR 49 and CR 51. It will be built in public or purchased rights -of -way. At roadway crossings, it will go under the road. Construction traffic will be in the range of 125 passenger vehicles/pick-up trucks and 6 — 8 large trucks per day. The number of vehicles may change once the construction process is finalized. A laydown yard is planned in Hudson and at the facility in Adams County. It is anticipated that 6 — 9 months will be required to build the pipeline assuming a single crew and acceptable weather. Most construction traffic is expected to use CR 49 and/or CR 51 to arrive and/or depart the general area since the majority of workers are expected to stay or live in the Greeley, Fort Lupton, Keenesburg or Hudson areas. Current traffic using CR 49 in this area is in the range of about 6,000 — 7,000 vehicles per day. CR 51 serves some 400 — 800 vehicles per day. This data was obtained from Weld County. With the addition of 125 vehicles per day and an assumed 25 supply vehicles per day per crew, daily traffic during construction could increase to 6,300 — 7,300 vehicles per day (vpd) on CR 48 and 650 — 800 vpd on other county roads. Future permanent pipeline traffic will add 1 — 2 vehicles per day. These vehicles will likely be pickups performing routine inspection and maintenance functions. They are not expected to produce any noticeable impact on roadway operations. In summary, the traffic impacts of the proposed Matador pipeline are negligible. Please contact me if you have any questions or need further assistance. ARB Midstream Matador Pipeline Drainage Narrative Following pipeline construction, the Right-of-way will be graded to match existing contours and will be seeded with improved or native grasses, or left fallow per the property owner's request. Drainage patterns will not be altered and a formal drainage report is not required. APEX Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment Report Proposed 41 -mile Matador Pipeline and Bennett Station in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado DJ South Gathering, LLC July 13, 2018 INTRODUCTION DJ South Gathering, LLC is proposing to construct and operate the approximately 41 -mile Matador Pipeline and associated 72 -acre Bennett Station, hereafter referred to as the proposed Project (Attachment A, Figure 1). Occurring within Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado, the proposed Project's southern terminus at the proposed Bennett Station is located off Highway 79140, approximately three miles east of the town of Watkins, Adams County, Colorado. The approximately 41 -mile pipeline generally runs south -north from the proposed facility site to an existing facility at the intersection of County Roads 30 and 49 in Weld County. The proposed project has been routed/sited to minimize impact to the extent possible by utilizing existing corridors and disturbed areas. Installation of the pipeline will primarily consist of open -cut trenching; however, trenchless technology [horizontal directional drilling (HDD)] will be utilized at select locations such as roadways, utilities, water crossings, etc. Apex assumes in this analysis that all ponds, moderate to large streams, and canals/irrigation ditches will be avoided via HDD. The purpose of this desktop analysis is to evaluate the proposed Project for biological resources including aquatic resources such as waters of the United States (U.S.), state and federally listed threatened and endangered species, wildlife and cultural resources. PROJECT SETTING Topography Elevation of the proposed Project ranges from 4,798 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the existing facility at the northern terminus to 5,585 feet above msl in rangeland approximately 0.7 - mile east of the southern terminus at the Bennett Station. In general, the topography of the proposed Project generally decreases in elevation from south to north with localized decreases in elevation occurring at drainage crossings (Attachment A, Figure 2). Maximum slope does not exceed 7.7% The preliminary elevation profiles for the pipeline and Bennett Station is depicted below (Google Earth, 2018) Elevation Profile of Matador Pipeline: North to South North South Graph: Mu).

These five subwatersheds are located within the major watershed (HUC 8), Middle South Platte — Cherry Creek (10190003) (EPA 2018). Aerial imagery, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), and the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database indicate that there are numerous named USGS blue -lines, unnamed USGS blue -lines, and unnamed non -blue -line linear features intersected by the proposed Project. According to the USGS topographic map, the NWI database, or a combination of both resources, the proposed Project crosses two freshwater ponds. Additionally, the proposed Project intersects nine emergent wetlands as mapped by the NWI database (USFWS 2018a; Attachment A, Figure 3). The proposed Project does not intersect regulated floodplains in Adams County and there are three crossings of regulated floodplains in Weld County. (FEMA 2018; Attachment A, Figure 4). The proposed Project does not intersect any Critical Resource Waters (CRW), Gold Medal Waters, or Important Spawning Areas, as designated by the State of Colorado. In addition, no Designated Critical Habitat (DCH) waters under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is intersected. Ecoregion and Vegetation The proposed Project occurs entirely within the Flat to Rolling Plains (25d) Level IV Ecoregion of the High Plains (25) Level III Ecoregion as mapped by the Environmental Protection Agency Level DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 3 III and IV Ecoregions of Colorado poster. The Flat to Rolling Plains is more level and less dissected than the adjacent Moderate Relief Plains. Soils are generally silty with a veneer of loess. Dryland farming is extensive, with areas of irrigated cropland scattered throughout the ecoregion. Winter wheat is the main crop, with a smaller acreage in forage crops. Land use is predominantly rangeland, in contrast to the cropland or mosaic of cropland and rangeland of surrounding ecoregions. Soils are silty and clayey barns, formed from eolian n sediments, shallower than the thicker loess -capped uplands of the Flat to Rolling Plains. Blue grams-buffalograss is the natural shortgrass prairie type of the area. Most common vegetative species expected include blue grama (Bouteloua gracili), buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides), threadleaf sedge (Carex filifolia), fringed sage (Carex crinita), Junegrass (Koeleria spp.), and western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum spp.) (Chapman et at 2006). Desktop analysis suggests that variations of Palustrine, Emergent or Palustrine, Scrub/Shrub wetlands may exist within the Project area. If wetland communities are present, the wetland vegetation anticipated include cattail (Typha spp.), rough cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), plains switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.), bulrushes (Scirpus spp.), rushes (Juncus spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.) willows (Salix spp.) alder (Alnus spp.), peach -leaf willow (Salix amygdaloides) and cottonwoods (Populus spp.). Colorado Parks and Wildlife depicts the proposed Project intersects seven vegetation types (CPW 2013): • Agriculture is controlled use for production of biological products • Forested Riparian wooded interface between land and a river, stream or waterbody • Irrigated Ag is irrigated crops and fields • Grass/Forb Mix is rangeland co -dominated by grasses and forbs • Grass Dominated is rangeland dominated by annual and perennial grasses • Herbaceous Riparian is grasses, grass -like plants and forbs tolerant of intermittent flooding or saturated soils that are located in the transitional zone between land and a waterbody • Rangeland is a mix of non-native and native grasses, grass -like plants, forbs, or shrubs suitable for grazing or browsing use Soil Thirty-five different soil units are intersected by the proposed Project alignment. Table 1 lists the soil units within the 75 -foot corridor along the proposed Project (NRCS 2016).

Hydric soils are defined as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. Site -specific soil surveys are included as Attachment B. WATERS OF THE U.S. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the USACE has the authority to permit the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. The term "waters of the U.S." is defined as: • All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; • All interstate waters including interstate wetlands; • All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the U.S. under the definition; • All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters: (i) which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes; or (ii) from which fish or shellfish DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 6 are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce; or (iii) which are used or could be used for industrial purpose by industries in interstate commerce; and • The territorial seas. In 2006, Rapanos v. United States clarified that waters of the U.S. are also defined as: Traditional Navigable Waters (TNW) and their adjacent wetlands; non -navigable tributaries of TNWs that are relatively permanent; and wetlands that directly abut such tributaries. In addition, the Rapanos decision clarified that the USACE asserts jurisdiction over every water body that is not a relatively permanent water (RPW) if that water body is determined to have a significant nexus with a TNW. A significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combinations with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or an insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of a TNW. The limit of USAGE jurisdiction for non -tidal waters of the U.S. in the absence of adjacent wetlands is the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). "Ordinary high water mark" is defined as that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas. Wetlands are defined as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions (USACE 1987). To be considered a wetland, an area must have: (1) a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, (2) hydric soils, and (3) appropriate wetland hydrology. The feature must have a hydric connection or significant nexus to a waters of the U.S. in order to be considered jurisdictional under Section 404. Certain geographic features are generally not considered waters of the U.S. by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE. These geographic features include swales, erosional features, and small washes characterized by low volume, infrequent and short duration flow; ditches draining wholly uplands and that do not carry a relatively permanent flow of water; and upland transporting of overland flow generated from precipitation. In addition, isolated features that do not have a significant nexus or connection to a water of the U.S. are not considered waters of the U.S. and are not federally regulated. On May 27, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the USAGE announced a final rule redefining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA). According to the agencies, the new rule revises the current definition of waters of the U.S. to be consistent with the CWA, legal rulings, the agencies' expertise and experience, and science concerning the interconnectedness of tributaries, wetlands, and other waters and effects of these connections on the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of downstream waters. The rule became effective on August 28, 2015. However, on October 9, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit stayed the Clean Water Rule nationwide pending further action of the court. In response, the EPA and USACE resumed the use nationwide of the agencies' prior regulations defining waters of the U.S. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 7 Using aerial imagery, the USGS topographic maps, the USGS NHD, and the NWI database, the proposed Project was reviewed for the presence of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The proposed Project appears to intersect numerous named USGS blue - lines, unnamed USGS blue -lines, and unnamed non -blue -line linear features. According to the USGS topographic map, the NWI database, or a combination of both resources, six ponds were mapped in the proposed Project area. Additionally, the proposed Project intersects nine emergent wetlands based on the NWI database (USFWS 2018a). Each crossing of an aquatic feature that could be considered a potential waters of the U.S. intersected by the proposed Project is listed within Table 2 below. This table is not all inclusive of features potentially present within the proposed Project area. Field verification would be necessary to confirm the existence and boundaries of features present, and to estimate proposed Project impacts.

Field verification required to confirm actual site conditions. Please note the final authority in determining jurisdiction of a tributary or wetland, including significant nexus decisions, rests with USACE. Requirements for Preconstruction Notification Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates discharge and fill in waters of the U.S. The USACE authorizes the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines, and the associated excavation, backfill, or bedding for utility lines under Nationwide Permit 12. Utility line projects are typically authorized without PCN to the USACE provided there is no change in pre -construction contours and the project meets all general conditions. A PCN to and written authorization from the USACE is required for the proposed Project, if any of the following criteria as listed below are met at a single and complete crossing. Field verification to confirm all the assumptions below is required. Mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of-way is required Based on a review of available sources, it does not appear that the proposed Project intersects any forested wetlands. A Rivers and Harbors Section 10 permit is required No resources identified as a Section 10 water is intersected by the proposed Project. The utility line in waters of the U.S., excluding overhead lines, exceeds 500 feet Based on a review of available sources and the proposed Project construction plan, features that may be impacted for greater than 500 linear feet are proposed for avoidance. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 10 The utility line is placed within a jurisdictional area (i.e., water of the United States), and it runs parallel to a stream bed that is within that jurisdictional area Based on a preliminary review of available sources, the proposed Project does not appear to run parallel to a stream bed and within a jurisdictional area. Discharges that result in the loss of greater than 1/10 -acre of waters of the United States Impacts to waters of the U.B. that would result from the proposed pipeline construction are generally considered temporary, provided all construction is temporary in nature and the features are restored to preconstruction contours, such that no net loss of waters occurs. For this proposed Project, open -cut trenching activities would be consistent with this designation of temporary impacts. However, mechanically clearing a forested/shrub wetland for the installation and/or maintenance of a pipeline easement is considered a conversion of a forested/shrub wetland into an emergent wetland and would result in a loss of certain wetland functions. This is considered by the USACE to be a permanent impact and loss of waters of the U.S. As the aquatic resources have not been field verified and the construction plan for the proposed Project has not been finalized, potential losses to waters of the U.S. cannot be estimated at this time. Permanent access roads are constructed above grade in waters of the United States for a distance of more than 500 feet, and/or permanent access roads are constructed in waters of the United States with impervious materials (Sections 10 and 404) No permanent access roads in waters of the U.S. are known to be proposed for the proposed Project at this time. 2017 Colorado Regional Conditions Applicability The USACE Albuquerque District has issued regional conditions applicable to all projects within the state of Colorado. These regional conditions issued in 2017 list five Regional Conditions Applicable to Specific Nationwide Permits within theState of Colorado. Based on the anticipated authorization of the proposed Project by NWP 12, one condition would likely be applicable to the proposed Project as described below: 1. Nationwide Permit No. 12 Utility Line Activities: Notification to the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition (GC) No. 32, PCN is required for utility line activities that propose open trenching in perennial waters or for the purpose of creating a water intake. Utilizing information from multiple sources as described within this analysis, approximately four crossings of perennial streams/canals by the proposed Project are estimated. It has been communicated to Apex that all perennial water features will be avoided utilizing HDD bores. Field verification of the potential resources intersected would be required. In addition, the proposed Project will be utilized for the transmission of crude oil and will not result in the withdrawal of water from a stream/river. No PCN is required for this criterion. In addition, the 2012 regional conditions in Colorado include four conditions identified as Regional Conditions Applicable to All Nationwide Permits within the State of Colorado. None of the four listed conditions apply to the proposed Project as it is not located within or in the vicinity of important spawning areas (Gold Medal Waters), fens or springs. Soils removed during construction will be utilized as backfill and the use of temporary fills is not anticipated. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, Co July 2018 Page 11 FEDERALLY LISTED THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has authority under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to list and monitor the status of species whose populations are considered imperiled. Species listed as threatened or endangered by the USFWS are provided full protection under the ESA including a prohibition of indirect "take." The term "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct with regards to a federally -endangered species. According to the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC; Attachment C), nine federally listed species should be considered in an effects analysis for the proposed Project: Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), least tern (Sterna antillarum), Mexican spotted owl (Stria occidentalis lucida), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), whooping crane (Grus americana), pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus), Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera coloradensis), Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis), and western prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera praeclara) (USFWS 2018b). No designated critical habitat is intersected by the proposed Project.

The birds select sites with wide, open panoramas away from human activity. Whooping cranes have not been seen in Colorado since 2010 (CPW 2017b). Fishes pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) F Occupies large, turbid, free - flowing riverine habitat, typically in strong currents over firm gravel or sandy substrate. Sturgeons primarily utilize main channel, secondary channel, and channel border habitats and are rarely observed in areas without flowing water (USFWS 2014b) . While the pallid sturgeon does not occur in Colorado, the fish inhabits the lower reaches of the Platte River and disturbances to tributaries of the South Platte River in Colorado may impact the species downstream. No; the proposed Project will not cross the South Platte River and no water would be removed from the South Platte River as part of the project. Plants Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera caloradensis) Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) T T Occurs on subirrigated, alluvial soils, on level or slightly sloping floodplains and drainage bottoms at elevations of 4,850 to 6,400 feet. Populations are typically found in habitats created by streams active within floodplains, with vegetation that is relatively open. Often found in low depressions, or along bends in wide, meandering stream channels (USFWS 2017). Originally thought to only inhabit early successional riparian habitats such as moist stream beds, wet meadows, point bars, sand bars, abandoned stream channels, and low lying gravelly, sandy, or cobbly edges, this species has also been found in Na; while the proposed Project occurs within the overall species range (CPW 2017a), the nearest known occupied occurrence is over 18 miles to the east (CPW 2011).

No further action is recommended for federally listed species. COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE LISTED SPECIES Five species are state listed in CPW's Species Activity Mapping (SAM) data as having overall range, foraging area, concentration area, or winter range within and around the proposed Project, including black -tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The potential for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse to occur at the proposed Project was previously discussed above in Table 3. GPW listed black -tailed prairie dogs as having an overall range intersecting the proposed Project. These highly social rodents live in colonies made up of burrows in the ground. Several species depend on prairie dogs, either as prey or, as in the case with burrowing owls, to use their burrows. Prairie dogs receive no federal or state protection but may sometimes be regulated by local municipalities; however, the species is considered a keystone species, a species that has a disproportionately large effect on the communities in which it occurs. Prairie dogs utilizes short - grass prairie as habitat which is expected in large expanses of the proposed Project. Field reconnaissance would be required to determine the locations and boundaries of active colonies, if any, within the proposed Project boundaries. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 15 The proposed Project is located within the mule and white-tailed deer overall range. Prospect Reservoir and the nearby Horse Creek Reservoir (approximately 3 -miles west), both in the vicinity of the Adams -Weld County line, are designated as mule deer winter concentration areas and white -tail deer concentration areas. The designation focuses around the two reservoirs and extends north into Weld County (CPW 2017c). Due to vegetation preferences, which includes woody vegetation and crops, they would likely remain outside of the proposed Project, but may pass through. Additionally, no tall vegetation is anticipated within the proposed Project boundary that would provide refuge for deer and other larger animals. If deer or other transient species are present at the proposed Project, they will likely leave at the onset of construction. The nearest big game migration corridor identified in the area is located approximately 3.5 -miles west of the proposed Project, adjacent to the western boundary of Horse Creek Reservoir. While not listed in SAM data, CPW lists seasonal restrictions for nesting raptors, including red- tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus), northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), and burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia). Based on a desktop analysis, it is likely that there are trees suitable for nesting raptors within 'A mile of the proposed Project, which is the maximum recommended seasonal buffer zone for the listed raptors. In addition, 22 known raptors nests of varying status were identified within '/-mile of the proposed Project in Weld County (Attachment A, Figure 5). Seasonal recommended restriction dates by CPW range fromas early as February 1st to as late as July 31s- New construction activities during this time period should include clearance surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. Burrowing owls are listed as a threatened species by the state of Colorado and are federally protected by the MBTA. The western burrowing owl is locally common in northeast Colorado and utilizes the burrows of prairie dogs within actively inhabited and maintained prairie dog towns for nesting. Potential burrowing owl habitat on or within 150 feet of the proposed Project is anticipated due to the high potential for active prairie dog colonies. Habitat can be created or become undesirable dependent on current colonization patterns of prairie dogs. Field reconnaissance would be required to determine the locations and boundaries of active colonies, if any, within the proposed Project boundaries. Any new construction activities between March 15th and October 31st should be preemptively accompanied by clearance surveys conducted by a qualified biologist. MIGRATORY BIRDS The MBTA makes it illegal to "pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture or kill, possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to purchase, purchase, deliver for shipment, ship, cause to be shipped, deliver for transportation, transport, cause to be transported, carry, or cause to be carried by any means whatever, receive for shipment, transportation or carriage, or export, at any time, or in any manner, any migratory bird...or any part, nest, or egg of any such bird." Harm to a migratory bird, active nest, or eggs are prohibited by the MBTA; however, the destruction of habitat or inactive nests is not. While not a comprehensive list of all migratory birds that may be at or in the vicinity of the proposed Project, the USFWS has listed nine migratory birds of conservation concern that might be affected by project activities, including the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), Cassin's sparrow (Airnophila cassinii), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), hudsonian godwit (Limosa haemastica), lark bunting (Calamospiza melanocorys), lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes), mountain plover DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 16 (Charadrius montanus), willet (Tringa semipalmata), and willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii) (USFWS 2018). Of these nine species, the burrowing owl and mountain plover are the only ground nesting birds with a breeding range that overlaps the proposed Project. Mountain plover, like burrowing owls, use prairie dog colonies to provide suitable breeding habitat ICECAP 2016). Suitable mountain plover habitat may exist within the proposed Project boundaries; however, mountain plovers are not typically known to nest in Adams County and in discrete portions of Weld County. Field reconnaissance of potential habitat is recommended if disturbance activities will be conducted April 1st through July 31st. If construction activities are expected to commence within the nesting season for the burrowing owl (March 1 " to October 31st), presence/absence surveys by a qualified biologist are recommended. BALD EAGLES While the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has been delisted due to recovery, this species is still protected under the BGEPA. This species, as well as the golden eagle, is found primarily near rivers and large lakes and nests in tall trees or on cliffs near water (USFWS 2007). One known bald eagle nest within 'AA mile of the proposed Project was identified and located in the vicinity of the Hudson Canal in Weld County (CPW 2017c; Attachment A3 Figure 5). In addition, trees suitable for nesting eagles are expected to be in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Any construction activities conducted between October 15th and July 31st should be accompanied by surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. CULTURAL RESOURCES Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies, agencies, including the USAGE, to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. The USACE's implementation of this rule is acknowledged in General Condition 20 of NWP 12. Projects utilizing federal funds, located on federal land, and/or requiring permits, license, or permission from a federal agency must comply with Section 106. Colorado Statute — CRS 24-80-401-4011 requires consultation with the office of state archaeologist (OSA) when activity may affect cultural resources on state public land and the OSA shall issue permits for cultural resource investigations on public land. To Apex's knowledge, approximately 1.5 miles of state land may need to be surveyed along the pipeline corridor in Weld County. Coordination with the state and the OSA will be conducted to determine the extent of investigation required. A review of records of the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's (OAHP) online compass database was completed in June 2018 to identify previously conducted inventories and previously recorded sites near the proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline (Project), which consists of an approximately 40 -mile -long pipeline and an associated facility in Adams County, Colorado. It has been communicated to Apex that all railroads, canals and perennial waterways will be avoided vi.a HDD. The desktop review extended the full length of the proposed pipeline and covered 0.5 miles on either side of the centerline, for a total width of 1 mile. A variety of previously conducted cultural resources surveys, including projects for oil and gas development, an airport, a sewage treatment plant, and federal agencies, are inside the file DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 17 search area. Within the 1 -mile -wide file search area, there are 15 previously recorded sites. Of these, six intersect the pipeline centerline, and include a road, one cutoff, one transmission line, one railroad, one canal, and one historical habitation site. Table 4 summarizes the previously recorded sites that intersect the centerline, including each resource's eligibility and general location along the proposed route. A review of the topographic maps, coupled with the Compass records, indicates there is one railroad that intersects the pipeline centerline that is unrecorded within the file search area, but has a documented site number and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) determination from at least one recording that occurred outside the 0.5 -mile review area. The Burlington Northern Railroad (5WL1423, officially eligible) crosses the centerline approximately 0.2 miles north of AGV No. 4 in Weld County. Table 4 — Summary of Previously Recorded Sites Site Number Site Name/T a y County General Location y� Eligibility 5AM149 Box Living Road Elder- Springs Field not eli ible g Adams Bennett Station 5AM147 Ft Morgan Cutoff Field not eligible Adams Bennett Station 6AM4 Kansas Pacific Field not eligible Adams 1.7 Station miles north of Bennett Railroad 5AM1531 Historic habitation Officially not eligible 9 Adams 210 south ft. west of of AGV line; No. 1 2.1 miles 5AML3154.2 Hoyt Street transmission -Terry Does support (not eligible) not linear Weld 6.5 miles south of AGV No. Denver enver Hudson canal Field eligible g Weld AGV No. Two topographic features were identified that cross the proposed Project pipeline. Both consist of segments of the Jim No. 1 Lateral (Weld County), which appears to be unrecorded in the Compass database. Based on the file searchresults, a high density of historical sites is anticipated to be found during the inventory of the proposed Project and field survey is recommended. Many of these sites are expected to be linear resources, primarily canals, but with some railroads also present. A low site density of prehistoric sites is expected to be found (Alpine 2018). All known resources identified as eligible for listing on the NRHP are proposed for avoidance; however, field survey is recommended to assess areas of federal nexus in order to satisfy Section 106 requirements. The complete cultural resources review is included as Attachment D. DJ South Gathering, LLC Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment, Adams and Weld Counties, CO July 2018 Page 18 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Numerous linear and non-linear water features, and special aquatic sites, including emergent wetlands, were identified as potentially intersected by the proposed Project. A list of the potential features identified is included in Table 2. The table is not all inclusive of features potentially present within the proposed Project area. Field verification would be necessary to confirm the existence and boundaries and in order to permit impacts, as necessary. The locations of these features are depicted in Figure 3 in Attachment A. • Habitat for the nine federally -listed species in Adams and Weld County is not anticipated within the proposed Project boundaries. However, field verification is recommended to confirm. • One known bald eagle nest within 1,4 mile of the proposed Project was identified and located in the vicinity of the Hudson Canal in Weld County and 22 known raptors nests of varying status were identified within 1 -mile of the proposed Project in Weld County. In addition, trees suitable for nesting eagles and raptors are expected to be in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Any construction activities conducted between October 15th and July 31st should be accompanied by surveys conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. • If initial land disturbance is anticipated from March 15th to October 31st, a resurvey for potential burrowing owl habitat should be conducted. If potential habitat is found,, surveys should be conducted in accordance with the CPW Recommended Survey Protocol and Action to Protect Nesting Burrowing Owls should be conducted prior to the start of construction. • Suitable mountain plover habitat may exist within the proposed Project boundaries; however, mountain plovers are not typically known to nest in Adams County and in discrete portions of Weld County. Field reconnaissance of potential habitat is recommended if disturbance activities will be conducted April 1st through July 31st. • The proposed Project is located within the mule and white-tailed deer overall range. Prospect Reservoir and the nearby Horse Creek Reservoir (approximately 3 -miles west), both in the vicinity of the Adams -Weld County line, are designated as mule deer winter concentration areas and white -tail deer concentration areas. The designation focuses around the two reservoirs and extends north into Weld County. Due to vegetation preferences, which includes woody vegetation and crops, they would likely remain outside of the proposed Project, but may pass through. If deer or other transient species are present at the proposed Project, they will likely leave at the onset of construction construction of the site should follow best management practices (BMPs) outlined by the CO CC to minimize adverse impacts from oil and gas operations. Potential BMPs include exclusion fencing; avoidance of unnecessary disturbance to habitats by driving on existing roads; working only in the required area; avoiding streams, wetlands, or riparian zones; and monitoring for unintended consequences to wildlife. A► stormwater Management Plan for the site has been developed to reduce runoff, offsite erosion and sedimentation, and dust production during construction. • In areas of trenching, any trenches left overnight should be covered, or a means of egress provided for any wildlife that may enter the trench. Trenches should be checked for wildlife before commencing work the following day and any trapped wildlife removed and allowed to exit the construction area. If a sensitive species is found or suspected, work should stop while a qualified biologist is contacted to relocate the animal.

Map units are composed of one or more map unit components or soil types, each of which is rated as hydric soil or not hydric. Map units that are made up dominantly of hydric soils may have small areas of minor nonhydric components in the higher positions on the landform, and map units that are made up dominantly of nonhydric soils may have small areas of minor hydric components in the lower positions on the landform. Each map unit is rated based on its respective components and the percentage of each component within the map unit. The thematic map is color coded based on the composition of hydric components. The five color classes are separated as 100 percent hydric components, 66 to 99 percent hydric components, 33 to 65 percent hydric components, 1 to 32 percent hydric components, and less than one percent hydric components. In Web Soil Survey, the Summary by Map Unit table that is displayed below the map pane contains a column named 'Rating'. In this column the percentage of each map unit that is classified as hydric is displayed. Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part (Federal Register, 1994). Under natural conditions, these soils are either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation. The NTC HS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register, 2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey Division Staff, 1993). If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric, they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field. These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to make onsite determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006). References: Federal Register.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale. Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factorscould change this, list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat, Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the EGOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CF402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 2 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.goyiendangerediesa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http : // www. fws . gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIs sueslHazards/towers/towers .htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http : //www. fws . gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIs sues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4 -week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (I) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the l Okm grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 5 The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKK). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cells) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the E -bird Explore Data Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my pr of ect area ? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing) . 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 6 Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your proj e ct review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NC OS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use ofYour Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cells) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 07/06/2018 Event Code: 06E24000 -2018-E-03340 1 Wetlands Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.

A Cultural Resources Desktop Review of the Proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline On June 20, 2018, Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (Alpine) reviewed the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's (OAHP) online Compass database to identify previously conducted inventories and previously recorded sites near the proposed Matador Adams County to Platteville Pipeline (Project), which consists of an approximately 40 -mile -long pipeline and an associated facility in Adams County, Colorado. The desktop review extended the full length of the proposed pipeline and covered 0.5 miles on either side of the centerline, for a total width of 1 mile. A variety of previously conducted cultural resources surveys including projects for oil and gas development, an airport, a sewage treatment plant, and federal agencies are inside the file search area. The largest of the nearby surveys do not overlap the Project centerline, and thus do not allow for survey exclusion. Those projects that do overlap the Project centerline are so small that any survey exclusion is insignificant. Within the 1 -mile -wide file search area, there are 15 previously recorded sites. Of these, five intersect the pipeline centerline, and include a road, one transmission line, one railroad, one canal, and one historical habitation site. Table 1 summarizes the previously recorded sites that intersect the centerline, including each resource's eligibility and general location along the proposed route. A review of the topographic maps —coupled with the Compass records indicates there is one railroad that intersects the pipeline centerline that is unrecorded within the file search area, but has a documented site number and NRHP determination from at least one recording that occurred outside the 0.5 -mile review area. The Burlington Northern Railroad (SWL 1423, officially eligible) crosses the centerline approximately 0.2 miles north of AGV No. 4. Table 1. Summary of Previously Recorded Sites along the Centerline.

Based on the file search results, Alpine anticipates a high density of historical sites to be found during the inventory of the Project. Many of these sites are expected to be linear resources, primarily canals, but with some railroads also present. A low site density of prehistoric sites is expected to be found. i DSTREAM E FREQUENTLY ASKED ED QUESTIONS: Who is DJ South Gathering, LLC ARB Midstream, LLC DJ South Gathering LLC is a subsidiary company of ARB Midstream, LLC (ARB) is a crude oil, natural gas and refined products transportation company comprised of seasoned professionals who arc familiar with the commitment Colorado communities place on safety and protection of the environment. Our management team and Board of Directors has a combined energy industry experience of more than 150 years. Currently, ARB safely operates approximately 140 miles ofpip clines in Wel d and Larimer Counties. At ARB, we believe our reputation precedes us in how we interact with landowners, the quality land use application we submit, and our commitment to collaborate with the public and government officials in the communities in which we work. We are guided on every project that we undertake by our company strategy centered around an "Analyze, identify, execute and operate" philosophy. What materials will be transported in the ARB Matador Pipeline? The 16"-20" Matador Pipeline will transport crude oil and will be engineered to operate at a Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of 1480 psi with Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. Where is the crude oil coming from a n d where is it going to? The Matador Pipeline will transport crude oil gathered from various oil and gas production facilities in Adams and Arapahoe Counties. Gathering lines will transport the oil from the production facilities and deliver to the Matador Pipeline at Bennett Station. The destination for the oil transported by the Matador Pipeline is a facility in Weld County located at Weld County Roads 30 and 49. From these facilities, the crude oil will have access to downstream markets via various third -party interstate and intrastate pipelines. How is the pipe placed in the ground? The Matador Pipeline will be horizontal directional drilled under roads, ditches, highways, rivers, rail lines and open cut in fields. All disturbed property will be reclaimed to the condition that existed prior to our activities. ARB's existing pipeline projects have always been reclaimed and left in a condition that meets or exceeds the landowner's expectations. What safety measures will be in place for the ARB Matador Pipeline? Crude oil pipelines are an extremely safe way to transport energy. The Matador Pipeline is being designed to exceed DOT regulations.. This will employ automated pressure shut down systems and leak monitoring equipment. ARB employs an independent safety team who is trained in operations, maintenance and emergency response related to the pipeline. All operations, tra. i ing, qualifications and any required responses are strictly defined by the US Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and followed by ARB. In the unlikely event of an emergency, ARB personnel would respond and react based on the various factors surrounding the event. ARB contracts an Oil Spill Response Organization which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with all necessary support personnel, equipment and resources to respond to any size emergency. Communications and visits will be conducted with local emergency planning committees and first response personnel in areas the Matador Pipeline will operate. Attached: FAQ document How many trucks will be removed from roads by the ARB Matador Pipeline? Based on current producer commi m cnts to the Matador Pipeline, we estimate transportation of crude oil via pipeline vs. traditional trucking will eliminate approximately 2 MM. trucks from Weld County roads in the first ten years of the project. What permits are required and who is regulating the ARB Matador Pipeline? A land use permit is required through Weld County. In addition, road crossing permits and flood hazard development permits from Weld County will be required, where necessary. Pipelines also require additional permits, programs and plans listed below: • State of Colorado Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan • State of Colorado Spill Prevention Countermeasure Control Plan • US Department of Transportation (DOT) Pre -Construction Notification • DOT Operations and Maintenance Manual • DOT Damage Prevention Program • DOT Integrity Management Plan • DOT Drug and Alcohol Plan • DOT Emergency Response Plan • DOT Operator Qualification Program • DOT Public Awareness Program • OSHA Safety Programs • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protected Species and.

Sincerely, Pw-e9let, 072, Devon Dageford Sr. Land Representative Di South Gathering, LLC ALAPEX November 13/ 2018 Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) - Northeast Regional Office 6060 Broadway Denver, Colorado 80216 Attn: Ms. Kristin Cannon RE: Response to CPW's Comments on Weld County USR18-0103 Referral - Matador Pipeline Ms. Cannon, Thank you for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) comments on the Di South Gathering's proposed Matador Crude Oil Pipeline Project (Project) to Mr. Kim Ogle, Weld County Planning Department dated October 19, 2018. DJ South Gathering will comply with the recommendations and guidance CPW has provided as the protection of wildlife and natural resources are a top priority for the Project. DJ South Gathering has the following response to the four biological concerns listed in the above referenced letter: • A bald eagle nest has been identified within 0.5 -mile of the proposed Project in Weld County (Section 17 T1 N R64W). Should construction be necessary during January 1 through July 31, surveys by a qualified biologist and coordination with United States Fish and Wildlife Service will be conducted. • Twenty-two known raptors nests of varying status were identified within %-mile of the Project in Weld County (including the known Swainson's hawk nest located at Weld County Road 30 and County Road 49). Should project construction be conducted within the nesting season of raptors (generally February 1 through August 15), surveys would be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to disturbance. O Should an active raptor nest be identified in the vicinity of the proposed project, CPW would be notified of the location and recommendations would be requested. The proposed Project will avoid all impacts to Box Elder Creek and its associated wetlands via horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology. In addition, Di South Gathering is implementing an avoidance strategy at the identified sensitive resources and the few impacts anticipated will be minor and temporary. The United States Army Corps of Engineers will be notified of potential impacts as appropriate. A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared for the proposed project to minimize to the extent possible sediment and/or chemical impacts to all aquatic resources. Apex Companies..

In addition, requested materials listed in the Pre -Application Meeting notes from May 31, 2018 have been included. Responses to requirements listed in Section 23-2-51.0 are listed below: A. The applicant's name and telephone number. The Applicant for this proposed project is DJ South Gathering, LLC ("MG") which is a subsidiary company of ARB Midstream, LLC. Refer to the application form provided with the submittal materials for more contact information. B. Address of the applicant and general OFFICE Refer to the application form provided with the submittal materials for all address and contact information. C. Summary Statement of the project, to include when applicable: a. Source, capacity, size, destination and type of facilities, support STRUCTURES. lines, etc., involved. The proposed Matador Pipeline ("Project" or "Pipeline") would be a sixteen inch (16") outside diameter crude oil pipeline. The Project would begin at Bennett Station Adams County and would traverse approximately 21 miles in southern Weld County running generally south to north, entering Weld County just north of the intersection of Weld County Road 57 andWeld County Road 2 and ending at the existing oil and gas transloading and storage facility ("Destination Point") currently permitted under SR15-0016 located southwest and adjacent to the intersection of Weld County Road 49 & Weld County Road 30. This is the first submittal to Weld County for the Project network. At this time DJ SO doesn't plan to tie additional pipelines into the Project but that could change subject to customer demands. The Project would terminate at the Destination Point and from there, the crude oil would be stored and piped to various downstream markets. The proposed Project at full scope would transport crude oil gathered from several wells in multiple Counties in Colorado. The Pipeline would have the following specs: 16" O.D. X 0.281" W.T., X60, ERW, API 51, PSL2, w/ 14-16 MILS FBE (Line Pipe) and 16" O.D. X 0.375" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, W/14-16 MILS FBE and 30 MILS ARO (HDD Pipe). The Pipeline would be designed to transport up to 160,000 barrels per day with the ability to increase capacity in the future. The Pipeline would be designed to have a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,480 psi however DJSG would design the Pipeline to operate with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. The Pipeline would be monitored by a SCADA system that would issue notifications 24 hours -a -day, 7 days -a -week and 365 days -a -year. The SCADA system monitoring station would monitor the entire Pipeline including leak detection metering and overpresuure preotection equipment and would send notification to required personnel for any abnormal operation along the proposed Pipeline route (including the entire proposed Weld County portion of the P ip el ine). The Pipeline would also undergo a series of testing prior to being placed in-service, including 100% NDT or X-ray of girth welds and 8 -hr hydrostatic testing of the entire pipeline performed at 1.25 to 1.5 that of the MA0P. 1 Construction commencement is anticipated to be Spring, 2019 and would last through the summer 2019. Depending on permit approval, construction may be completed sooner. The pipeline easements are negotiated between private land owners and MSG. The temporary construction easement is approximately 75 -feet wide and will acco iodate construction and reclamation activities. The permanent eas ent is approximately 30-50 feet wide. At this time, 85% of the required easements are finalized and the other 15% are in negotiations. Pipeline depth requirements are currently in development with Weld County Public Works for road crossings. When the Pipeline is on private property the minimum depth of burial would be at least four feet (4') of cover from the surface to the top of the Pipeline. The proposed Pipeline w oul d traverse multiple times across designated 100 -year floodplains as shown in (Map 1) below. There are two FEMA FIRM Map Numbers (081230215 5E I& 08123O1 75E) associated with those designated crossing areas along the proposed pipeline route. Flood Hazard Development Permits will be applied for shortly after this USR application submittal for concurrent review.

A detailed report shall be submitted which includes information on the following items: i. A description of the PIPELINE - NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OTHER THAN NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - DOMESTIC WATER. The proposed Pipeline would transport crude oil and would have the following specs: 16" O.D. X 0.281" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, w/ 14-16 MILS FBE (Line Pipe) and 16" O.D. X 0.375" W.T., X60, ERW, API 5L PSL2, W/14-16 MILS FBE and 30 MILS ARO (HDD Pipe) . The Pipeline would be designed to transport up to 160,000 barrels per day with a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,480 psi however DJSG plans to operate the Pipeline with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of 740 psi. ii. A description of the preferred route or site and reasons for its selection. The proposed route crosses private/fee owned lands by means of right-of-way acquired by DJ SG. The majority of the route crosses private/fee owned lands, and therefore has resulted in the route primarily being dictated by each individual property owner. Final route selection and optimization was influenced by the ability to negotiate with, develop mutual consensus between, and the execution of agreements with property owners to obtain the needed right-of-way. 4 Several alternative routes were considered during the preliminary alignment determination phase. The proposed route was developed and modified many times through working with the property owners. The route proposed represents the best placement as determined with the property owners and minimizes impacts due to pipeline construction.

Field and desktop research, coupled with participation of private property owners to help identify routing alternatives and the final proposed route are the main procedures that helped in mitigating adverse impacts of the proposed routes on the private property owners. Environmental mitigation steps were also deployed to develop the route that is proposed for consideration through this USR Process as well. Please refer to the APEX Matador Project Biological Resources Assessment Report provided in the application to see all Environmental Mitigation steps taken when identifying the proposed route. The selected route was deemed to be the most direct route, with minimal environmental impacts and satisfied property owner placement requests. Temporary and permanent access points will be determined and applied for prior to construction of the pipeline and tracking control would be deployed to keep mud and debris off the County and State road networks. DiSG G has and will continue to work with property owners to locate their accesses within existing accesses that are equipped with adequate turning depth off the County Roads. Any appurtenant facilities such as block valves and launchers/receivers would be located outside of County right-of-way to allow safe access for maintenance and fi el d personnel. A drainage narrative accompanies this application submittal. Grading, erosion, and sediment control plans and details would be included in the design plans of the Pipeline. A construction Stormwater Management Plan would be developed with a Notice of Intent filed with the State of Colorado, Department of Public Health and Environment. Dust mitigation would be conducted by watering the disturbed area several times a day during construction with a watering truck, using water purchased from the local water district. Revegetation of disturbed areas would occur following placement of the Pipeline. The surface would be graded to minimize erosion and then replanted with the vegetation that existed prior to construction. Revegctation would be required for grassland and fallow land using native seed mixes specified by the local soil conservation service. Cultivated land would be graded to minimize erosion and then planted by the landowner for the next growing season. 7 d. An outline of the planned construction, including startup and commissioning schedule, to include the number of stages and timing of each. The entire Pipeline would be constructed at the same time. There would be one phase of this development. The planned construction timeline for this Project pending all permitting approvals is to commence Spring of 2019 and complete construction sometime in the Summer of 2019. e. Information of any public meeting conducted. to include the location, date, time. attendance and method of advertising. The Pipeline would be constructed within easements obtained by DJ SG from individual property owners throughout the entire Project. A map illustrating property ownership within 150 feet from either side of the Pipeline centerline, mailing information fact sheet, letter to the surrounding property owners and list of property owners the mailing was sent out to is included in the application materials. A description of the hazards, if any, of fire, explosion and other dangers to the health, safety and welfare of employees and the general PUBLIC. Risks from accidents is possible. Transportation of crude oil i rough underground pipeline is viewed to be safer that other means of transportation such as trucking and railroads. The risks associated with crude oil pipelines arc mitigated by the following protective measures: • Locating the pipelines, where feasible, away from heavily populated areas and sensitive areas such as schools and hospitals. • Classifying pipeline segments according to federal regulations in accordance with proximity to populated areas, schools, and hospitals and upgrading Factors of Safety associated with the pipeline strength with respect to pipeline volume and allowable pressures. • Burying pipelines to appropriate depths and using adequate engineering and construction principals to prevent geological damage to the lines. • Engineering valves and shut-off controls required to depressurize the pipeline when required for emergency situations. • Identifying pipeline routes with appropriate warning markers. • At locations where the proposed pipeline will cross existing pipelines (including County and public utility infrastructure), the existing pipeline owners will be contacted and plans and construction details will be approved for each crossing. Timber • ats are typically used to protect existing pipelines at locations where the Matador Pipeline construction ve a cles cross over the infrastructure. • A rigorous One -Call Notification procedure is in place and is uniformly enforced with both in-house personnel and contracted construction crews. Additionally, sweeping of the ROW also occurs to identify any additional pipelines not identified with the 811 One Call Notification process. • The pipeline route design will be mapped and field -located by crews working under the direction of a Licensed Surveyor. Immediately prior to construction, the survey 8 crews will stake out the pipeline centerline and casement boundaries based upon the approved and permitted construction drawings. • A SCADA system will monitor pressures and flows 24-7-365 and will issue notifications should any abnormal operating conditions be detected. g. A description of emergency procedures to be followed in case of a reported failure or accident involving the proposed PIPELINE - NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OTHER THAN NATURAL GAS and PIPELINE - DOMESTIWATER. Such outline shall include actions, if any, required of PUBLIC officials, including fire and police officials, and the names and telephone numbers of appropriate company officials to notify if an accident or failure should occur. .DJir had a call with the Southeast Weld Fire Protection on September 5t' to discuss their need with regards to public safety and the emergency action plan. The Surrounding Property Owner Notification was also sent out to all local Emergency responders where the Pipeline is proposed prior to submitting the USR application. A specific Emergency Action Plan will be developed, and Roy Rudisill will be consulted for final sign -off.

A discussion of how the proposal conforms with the guidelines of Chapter 2.2 of this Code and any other applicable code provision or ordinance in effect. The application materials for the proposed Project are consistent with the intent of Chapter 22 Weld County Code and Comprehensive Plan. Details supporting this statement can be found in the following narrative: O.G. Goal 1. Promote the reasonable and orderly exploration and development of oil and gas mineral resources. The Pipeline alignment is located in an area where there is already significant amount of oil and gas development. By locating the Pipeline in this area, MSG will be able to lower the overall impact of oil and gas development in the area by providing the safest, cleanest, and most efficient means of resource transportation. Pipelines remove trucks from county roads and allow for a more orderly development of oil and gas exploration in the area. O.G. Policy 1.1 The County should encourage cooperation, coordination and communication between the suit{ice owner and the mineral owner/operations with respect to any developments of either the surface or the mineral estate. And 0.G. Goal 2. Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources conserves the land and minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses. The Pipeline route is surrounded by land uses primarily associated with the Agriculture Zone District. Land uses near the Pipeline include existing oil and gas facilities including other pipelines, existing agricultural facilities, and a few existing residential properties. Residential properties surrounding the Pipeline are sparsely distributed and consist mainly of large lot single family homes. Other thanCounty roads, the Pipeline will not travel through or underneath any significant structures. DJSG will agree to an easement with each property owner that the Pipeline crosses to ensure that the Pipeline is compatible with the property owner's future development plans for their property. By agreeing to an easement with each landowner, DJSG has committed to working with all landowners along the Pipeline route to ensure that the Pipeline will not adversely impact any property. O.G. Policy 2.1 Encourage oil- and gas -drilling activities to be coordinated with seasonal production schedules associated with agricultural activities. Promote and encourage the use of directional drilling to protect surface rights of a gricultura l lands and possible future land uses. DJSG has worked with each landowner to minimize impact to agricultural land. The casement agreements stipulate that they will provide compensation for loss of production as a result of the Pipeline installation. J. A Decommissioning Plan. The Pipeline will be designed to be safely operated for a projected lifetime of approximately 50 years. Integrity of the Pipeline will be regularly monitored during the life of the P ip el ine to ensure the thickness of the pipe is maintained at a level required to withstand pressures within the Pipeline, with adequate Factors of Safety included. 11 When the Pipeline is no longer useful to DJSG, it will be decommissioned and abandoned in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Typical decommissioning process includes: flushing the pipeline free from all residual hydrocarbons, capping and sealing the ends of the pip cline, removing all above ground appurtenances and filling the pipeline with inert gas for stabilization. k. A description of any haul routes during construction, identifying the roads and bridges involved and the weight of the loads. A Traffic Narrative has been included with application materials. Haul routes would be dictated by the particular portion of the pipeline under construction. DJSG would likely use Weld County Road 49, Weld County Road 55, State Highway 52 and Interstate 76 as main haul routes from the receiving facility to transport pipe to construction sites. The proposed laydown yard for this pipeline construction is located in the town of Hudson's municipal limits. There are no proposed laydown yards for this project located in unincorporated Weld County. All access points off County Roads would be constructed to County standards with respect to visibility, drainage, mud tracking, and safe egress without stopping on County Roads to unlock any gates. The haul routes selected will be documented on maps that would be provided to Contractors and truck drivers to identify the best route to the intended destination with minimal disturbance to other road users, with maximum safety to both Contractors and the public, and with minimal damage to existing County i rastructure. 1. Any other information determined to be necessary by the Department of Planning Services or its authorized representative to ensure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the COUNTY. The Pre -Application Meeting notes indicate the following items are to be described. Public Health Waste Handling Plan: Construction materials not utilized would be returned to the receiving facility or inventoried at Bennett Station. Hydrotest water would be discharged in accordance with all regulations. Wrappers and bottles generated from field crews would be taken away with the crew. Fuel Storage: There would be no fuel storage associated with this application. Potable water and sanitary sewage disposal: Bottled water would be provided for field and construction crews. Port -a -lets would be provided along the construction route. Planning Proposed signage, lighting and parking: There would be no permanent signage, lighting or parking associated with the proposed Pipeline application. If needed, portable lights would be used that are directed to the work area. Parking for crews would be minimal along the route in areas designated and approved by the property owners. 12 The following permits are required by additional jurisdictions for the construction of the proposed Pipeline. • State of Colorado Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan • State of Colorado Spill Prevention Countermeasure Control Plan • US Department of Transportation (DOT) Pre -Construction Notification • DOT Operations and Maintenance Manual • DOT Damage Prevention Program • DOT Integrity Management Plan • DOT Drug and Alcohol Plan • DOT Emergency Response Plan • DOT Operator Qualification Program • DOT Public Awareness Program • OSHA Safety Programs • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protected Species and Cultural Resource Permits and Surveys • Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Road Crossing Permits • US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Pre -Construction Notification • Railroad Crossings • Irrigation DitchCrossings • Applicable UtilityCrossings 13 Hello
