The Weld County Department of Public Works has reviewed this proposal. Staff comments made during
this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may arise during the
remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a greater than 12 -
inch high pressure natural gas pipeline approximately 1.3 long (16 inch natural gas pipeline originating at
the Mewbourn Gas Plant (5MJUSR17-83-0542) and terminating at the Colorado Interstate Gas
interconnect) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is along multiple parcels
ACCESS
An Access Permit is required for locations that need to be accessed during or after construction. Please
work with Public Works to determine if construction of your pipeline requires an access permit or if access
will be addressed through a right-of-way permit.
Per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County
maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Public Works prior to laying
out your site plan to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout.
For new accesses and/or change of use of an existing access, the fee and photos are required (photo
looking left and right along roadway from the access point and looking in to and out of the access point).
These photos are used to evaluate the safety of the access location. Access permit instructions and
application can be found at https://www.weldgov.com/departments/publIc works/permits/. Chapter 6,
Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria offer access design
guidance, which can be accessed at: https://www weldgov com/departments/public works/engineering/.
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends the property owner establish an access road
maintenance agreement so future owners of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared
maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement, but is recommended to avoid property owner
conflicts in the future.
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.4.1 of the Weld County Code, an access approach that is gated shall be
designed so that the longest vehicle (including trailers) using the access can completely clear the traveled
way when the gate is closed. In no event, shall the distance from the gate to the edge of the traveled surface
be less than 35 feet.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 38 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate
on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way and the physical location of the road. If the right-
of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County
Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-
way line. Be aware that physical roadways may riot be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained
by Weld County.
Pipelines crossing a county road shall obtain a Right -of -Way Permit and possibly a Special Transport
Permit. Pipelines crossing county roads shall be bored, unless otherwise approved by Public Works.
Any pipeline crossing an arterial road, such as Weld County Road 49 shall be bored with a minimum
crossing depth of 10 feet below the lowest roadside ditch flowline elevation for all lines, except for oil and
gas lines whose minimum depth will be 15 feet below the lowest roadside ditch flowline elevation.
Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate
existing utilities within the County right-of-way.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of
a tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road
base. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. Minimal standards
are listed below. Tracking control devices must maintain drainage from the site and along roadside ditches.
Temporary tracking control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed
ahead of construction activities.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works may require an Improvements Agreement for one or all the following reasons:
• Off -Site Public Improvements
• Road Maintenance Agreement
• Construction Maintenance Agreement
• Access Improvements Agreement
An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required offsite improvements per Chapter 12, Article
V, Section 12-5-60. Collateral is required to ensure the improvements are completed, and maintained.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldclov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departmerts/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eviewlsprusr.pdf. It will detail the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite improvements will be
triggered, and include a maintenance agreement for the haul routes. Possible mitigations included in the
road maintenance agreement may include but are not limited to: dust control, specified haul routes, damage
repairs, and future improvement triggers.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

CASE #: USR17-0049
DEAR Mr. Ogle:
I wish to submit the following information regarding the above referenced project.
t.
The concerns of Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company are in the area of
encroachment to the Right of Way of the canal. FRICO requires a minimum, of* ' on
each side of the canal for a maintenance road plus the distance to the toe of the ditch
embankment. The boundaries of the Right of Way must be agreed upon.
Drainage is another concern that must be addressed as FRICO does not allow any
developed storm flow into our canals. This will apply if any development happens.
Property concerns need to be resolved.
X No construction of any structure can be put on our ROW. No use of any sort
including pedestrian or vehicle on our ROW is approved.
Please send additional information regarding your project so that we may
complete our review and that review criteria can be sent to you, if applicable.
FRICO will require a license agreement
FRICO will require an access permit

NOTICE OF OIL AND GAS LEASEHOLD INTERESTS OWNED BY KERR-McGEE
OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP AND EXISTING PIPELINES OWNED BY KERR-McG EE
GATHERING LLC
Re: USR17-0049 and USR17-0050
DCP Midstream LP — "Applicant"
Multiple Parcels
Weld County, Colorado
Mr. Ogle:
This letter is being sent by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on behalf of its subsidiaries
Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP ("KMG") and Kerr-McGee Gathering LL ("KMGG") in
response to USR17-0049 and LISR17-0050 (together the `Project"). KMG is the owner of valid
oil and gas leases underlying numerous parts of the Project ("Leased Lands") and KMGG is the
owner of numerous existing pipelines along or in close proximity to the proposed Project route.
KMGG and KMG (together the "Anadarko entities") are submitting this comment timely, in
accordance with State of Colorado and the County ' s procedural requirements.
KMG's recorded oil and gas leases are real property interests entitling it to produce oil and gas
from the Leased Lands (and, as may be applicable, adjacent lands). KMG has the right to utilize
the Leased Lands to produce from existing wells, to maintain, rework, recomplete, and fracture
those existing wells to enhance production, and to drill new wells to produce oil and gas, in
accordance with applicable Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulations and
Colorado Statutes. KMG's oil and gas assets have significant value, and KMG is consequently
concerned about any development, surface use, plan of use, PUD, zoning or rezoning, or other
action by the County that would impair or preclude its ability to develop its oil and gas interests.
The Anadarko entities do not object to the Project contingent upon the resolution of the
following two issues:
1. KMGG is the owner of a valid Right -of -Way Grant that was executed on July 27m,
1992, and recorded on June 3011, 1995 with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder
at reception number 2444883. Referenced Right -of -Way Grant is an exclusive
easement located in the 5/2 of 4N -66W-35. The Applicant is wishing to cross this
easement in order to enter Parcel # 105735400002, which is owned by the
Applicant. KMGG will grant DCP Midstream LP a Crossing Agreement once an
exact crossing location is provided.
2. The Applicant's route is encroaching on one of the State's prescribed drilling
window located in the center of the SW/4 of the SW/4 of 4N -66W-13, Parcel tt
105713300066. The Applicant is working with the surface owner, Barbara
Hungenberg, to move their initial centerline 45' to the east to avoid the conflict
with said drilling window. The amended route is depicted on the revised Exhibit B:
Tract A-009 executed October 2 t `, 2017, and attached hereto. The route
adjustment will allow KMG to access their mineral interests from the drilling
window.
Please contact me at 720-929-3321 if you have any questions or comments about this
matter.
Sincerely,
ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
