County of Weld, State of Colorado Parcel: 028523000003 USR Questionnaire Questions 1-11 1. Explain in detail the proposed use of the property: Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation has leased the NE '/a of Section 23, T10N, R58W of the 6t'' P.M. and would like to construct a 100' communications tower and small (8' x 12') communications building on the Razor site which requires approval of a USR application. The tower will be used to relay critical operational data from field locations to operators and engineers in offices in Denver. Site is zoned Agricultural AG, tract of land is 220' x 220' more or less (1 . 11 acre). Floodplain, Geological Hazard and Airport Overlay = N/A. See attached documents for further clarification on the need for the tower. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan: G. A. Goal 7. 2. A. Policy 7.2 states that conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential, commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject is in an area that can support such development and should attempt to be compatible with this region. All other goals are in compliance with this USR. The proposed tower and building are located in an area that is located in the Agriculture Zone. Although the tower is not an agricultural use, it is a land use that is commonly located in agricultural areas and does not conflict with the goals outlined. Careful site planning can be developed with only a minimal localized loss of agricultural land quality. Ground disturbance is minimized. Impacts to environmental resources such as air, water, waste, noise, and public health would be minimal and limited to the construction period (see Sections 21 -3-330.B.5.g, 21 -3-330.B. 12, and 21 - 3-330.B. 15). Mitigation practices shall be implemented to minimize impacts to environmental resources. Natural resources such as sensitive wildlife areas, recreation areas, and mineral and energy resources would not be impacted by the proposed Project. 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located: Structures and buildings may be constructed, occupied and operated and maintained in the A (Agricultural) zone district upon approval of a permit in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in Article II, Division 4 of this Chapter: L. Telecommunication antenna towers which require a USR are subject to Article IV, Division 10 of this chapter. 4. What types of uses surround the site (explain how the proposed use is consistent and comparable with surrounding land uses): AG-A, the surrounding area is agricultural use and pasture land within a 1 mile minimum radius. 5. Describe in detail, the following: a. Number of people who will use this site: Approximately, one person once a month. b. Number of employees proposed to be employed at this site: None for the communications tower. c. Hours of operation: 24 hours per day, seven days per week. d. Type and number of structures to be erected (built) on this site: An 8' x 12' building for instrumentation, see attached Thermobond Building index and drawings Exhibit B. 1 Parcel #028523000003 e. Type and number of animals, if any to be on this site: None. f. Kind of vehicle (type, size, weight) that will access this site and how often: One 3/4 toil pickup truck once per month. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site: All applicable fire laws and regulations, as outlined in the Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 31 -16-601 , would be observed during the construction period. The Pawnee Fire Protection District will be sent a Notification Form as well. h. Water source on the property: Not applicable, there will be no water on site. Pasture land, no irrigation. i. Sewage disposal system on the property: Not applicable, there will be no water, waste water or sewage on site. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what types of items will be stored: Not applicable, there will be no storage on site other than temporary storage of construction materials during the construction phase. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal: There will be no landscaping plan submitted and no landscaping will be completed at site. Land is not irrigated; no water is available. Any surrounding area affected will be returned to natural condition and the remaining areas will be left undisturbed. Waiver request included in this package. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when terminating of the Use by Special Review activity occurs: Whiting will remove the tower, associated building and foundations at their expense once deemed abandoned. The land will be returned to its natural state in order to preserve the natural surrounding landscape and will conduct its construction operations so as to prevent any unnecessary destruction, scarring, or defacing of the natural surroundings in the vicinity of the work. Mitigation practices shall be implemented to minimize impacts to environmental resources. Except where clearing is required for permanent works or excavation operations, all trees, native shrubbery, and vegetation shall be preserved and protected from damage by the construction operations and equipment. Any and all destruction, scarring, damage, or defacing of the landscape resulting from the contractor's operations shall be repaired by the contractor. See Decommissioning Plan. 8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site: Storm water will be unaffected except for the drainage from the building roof and the foundation pad from the tower. This project would not create runoff in excess of previous levels and will not adversely affect drainage. There would be no alteration in the pattern or intensity of surface drainage as a result of construction and during normal operation. See Drainage Impact Calculation Sheet. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin: Tower construction and the 8' x 12' building delivery is scheduled to begin immediately after USR application is approved. We anticipate it will take 2 — 4 weeks. Whiting would like to request early release of a building permit to allow construction of the foundation (before it gets too cold to pour the foundation). Construction of the tower and building will wait until the USR application and all applicable permits are approved. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site: Not applicable - there will be no storage and/or stockpile of wastes on this site. 11. List all proposed onsite and off-site improvements associated with the use (example: landscaping, fencing, drainage, turn lanes, etc.) and a timeline of when you will have each one of the improvements completed. Onsite and/or offsite improvements are not planned except: (1) Road access gate at the point of access as stated in the Amended Lease Agreement attached. (2) Gravel of the access road (3) Proposed tower will be located within fence onsite. All improvements will begin when USR application is approved and be completed within a month. 2 2 Parcel #028523000003 Sec. 23-4-810: Preferred order for locating Telecommunication Facilities D. TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER. New TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNAS must use the most preferred facility type where economically and technically feasible. A lesser preferred facility type is allowed only if the applicant presents substantial evidence to show it will have a lesser visual impact than the use of more preferred facilities and that the applicant's desired geographic area cannot be served by using more preferred facilities. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2010-6) New Telecommunication Tower: Attached is a letter from End 2 End Technologies addressing the co-location opportunities available which do not provide coverage for the desired operating area. In addition, Whiting does not intend to co-locate due to economic, technical and safety reasons. Due to safety concerns, Whiting does not co-locate its transmitters on third party towers. Because the towers are needed to facilitate data transmission from well sites, production batteries and pipelines, Whiting requires that only Whiting personnel be permitted access to its towers and transmitters to prevent unintentional disruption of communication services. COGCC — Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulation Sec. 7-11-8 Colocation, 7-11-9 Separation Allowances, 7-11-10 Location Exceptions — (2) a. Moving the location of the tower or antenna to a more appropriate available site; b. Using a different technology that will lessen the impact of the tower antenna; c. Requiring an appropriate alternative tower structure; or d. Other actions which will disguise or otherwise lessen the impact of the tower or antenna. (Ord. 531.S1, 2006). Sec. 23-4-820: General Requirements A. TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES on Residential Properties. TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES may not be placed on properties or buildings used primarily for residential purposes. This does not apply to buildings containing eight (8) or more dwelling units or farms and ranches containing dwelling units. This tower location is in an agricultural, non-residential area. B. 3. TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS are permitted either as a use by right, accessory use, or Use by Special Review in the following zone districts: C, I, A and PUD (with Commercial or Industrial uses). USR — industrial use, communication tower and communication building. C. Accessory uses to a TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA AND ELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER shall not include offices, broadcast studios, long-term vehicle storage or other outdoor storage, or other uses not needed to send, receive or relay transmissions. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2010-6). A communications building (8' x 12') is included on site only in order to facilitate communication transmissions. There will be no onsite or long term storage. Sec. 23-4-830: Standards for Telecommunication Antenna Towers A. TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS are allowed as a use by right, accessory uses, subject to Zoning Permit for TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER requirements, or as a Use by Special Review Permit, per the height guidelines below. The height of a TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER is defined as the distance from the finished grade at the TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER base to the highest point of the TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER. Overall TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER HEIGHT includes the base pad, mounting structures and panel antennas, but excludes lightning rods and whip antennas. 3 Parcel #028523000003 Use by Right or Zoning Permit for Use by Special Review Permit Accessory Use TELECOMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA TOWER approval required Up to 35 feet in height > 35 feet up to 70 feet in height Greater than 70 feet in height Height guidelines for this 100' tower require a USR. B. Radial Spacing. TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS over thirty-five (35) feet high must be located at least one thousand (1,000) feet from other TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS over thirty-five (35) feet high that are capable of supporting TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES. Closer spacing between TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS may be granted through the Use by Special Review process. This radial spacing requirement does not apply to facilities located at designated antenna farms. Radial spacing requirements for this 100' tower require 1 ,000 feet minimum distance from other telecommunication towers over 35' high that are capable of supporting telecommunication facilities. Closed spacing requires a USR. This location requires a USR and does not intend to co-locate due to economic, technical and safety reasons. C. In addition to meeting the Use by Special Review standards set forth in Article II, Division 5 of this Chapter, the applicant shall submit documentation addressing the following standards: 1. Existing or approved TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWERS cannot accommodate the telecommunications equipment planned for the proposed TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA TOWER. Attached is a letter from End 2 End Technologies that details the applicant's results for co-location possibilities. The summary of the letter states that there are no towers that meet the locational and technical requirements of the applicant therefore a new tower in Section 23 is required. In addition, Whiting does not intend to co-locate due to economic, technical and safety reasons. Due to safety concerns, Whiting does not co-locate its transmitters on third party towers. Because the towers are needed to facilitate data transmission from well sites, production batteries and pipelines, Whiting requires that only Whiting personnel be permitted access to its towers and transmitters to prevent unintentional disruption of communication services.

The objective of the plan is to ensure that all waste generated at the facility is managed appropriately. During installation of the tower and building phases of the project, the contractor will be responsible for any and all waste generated on site. The expected waste during construction is expected to be minimal. After construction is completed, no waste is expected to be generated on site as the site will be un- manned with approximately one person at the site once a month. There will one % ton pickup truck accessing the site approximately once a month. There will be no storage on site. No vehicles or equipment will be washed on site. No vehicles will be stored on site.

Whiting does not intend to co-locate due to economic, technical and safety reasons. Due to safety concerns, Whiting does not co-locate its transmitters on third party towers. Because the towers are needed to facilitate data transmission from well sites, production batteries and pipelines, Whiting requires that only Whiting personnel be permitted access to its towers and transmitters to prevent unintentional disruption of communication services.

Our recommendation for your SCADA communications system is based on your need to meet the three goals listed below. 1. The safety of your company personnel and contractors 2. The ability to react and deal with any potential environmental impact 3. The management of production equipment and resources To meet these goals and cover the required production area, the system should be installed on three towers within your Redtail Pipeline area. The coverage of the proposed Towers is shown in Exhibits C, D, and E. Your communications system will be operating on the 900MHZ ISM Band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) system . This system, more commonly known as a "spread spectrum" system operating in the 902-928MHZ band will allow immediate use of field assets, This system, a non-licensed system, is subject to interference from other operating systems within the area. The Ethernet backhaul links from your Redtail office (Exhibit E) to the towers shown in Exhibit C and D will be provided by a 5.8GHZ microwave system with 28db gain radome covered dish antennas. With the planned construction of the towers and the various communications systems, this would be the antenna configuration required at each location: Exhibit C: 1-900MHZ Omni @ top of tower —GE MDS iNET II 1-5.8GHZ M/W dish® 10' below top of tower—GE MDS Intrepid Ultra Exhibit D: 1-900MHZ Omni @ top of tower —GE MDS iNET II 1-5.8GHZ M/W dish@ 10' below top of tower—GE MDS Intrepid Ultra Exhibit E: 1-900MHZ Omni @ top of tower —GE MDS iNET It 2-5.8GHZ M/W dish@ 10' below top of tower—GE MDS Intrepid Ultra The listed existing towers within a 10 mile radius of your proposed towers simply cannot support this infrastructure and configuration and provide the coverage you require in and around the Redtail Pipeline Area. See Needed Coverage (Exhibits C, D, and E) vs. Existing Tower Coverage (Exhibits A and B) Exhibit A — Antenna Structure Registration 1268467 Structure Coordinates: 40-54-47.0 N 104-5-24.0 W (NAD 83) Structure Address: Section 21 T11n R60 Wof Th 6th Pm( N .e Of Grover,co.) This is one of two towers found within a 10 mile radius of your proposed towers. Due to its location and rough terrain, this structure is simply not able to provide coverage to your desired operating area .

There are no towers within a ten mile radius of the Razor tower location . There are two towers within a 10 mile radius of the Buffalo Wallow location — ASR 1268467 and 1025891 both with poor coverage. I have also attached the co-location statement we provided with the USR package outlining our reasons for not wanting to co-locate. The statement is true for both Razor and Buffalo Wallow. Please let me know if this is sufficient or you require anything else at this time. Thank you !

Whiting does not intend to co-locate due to economic, technical and safety reasons. Due to safety concerns, Whiting does not co-locate its transmitters on third party towers. Because the towers are needed to facilitate data transmission from well sites, production batteries and pipelines, Whiting requires that only Whiting personnel be permitted access to its towers and transmitters to prevent unintentional disruption of communication services.
