CompanyOverview and KeyPersonnel
Expedition Water Solutions LLC (" Expedition" or " the Company"), a Colorado limited liability
company, was formed in 2013 to address the significant saltwater disposal ("SWD") capacity
shortage that exists in the Niobrara play of Weld County, Colorado. Expedition is managed by
two individuals with collective oil & gas experience of over thirty years, including
approximately twenty years of direct experience in the Colorado SWD business. Consequently,
Expedition personnel are confident in their ability to safely and efficiently construct and operate
SWD facilities in Weld County, Colorado.
Jim Goddard is the Co-Founder and Co-President of Expedition. Mr. Goddard has over 20 years
of direct experience with SWDs in the DJ Basin of Northern Colorado. Specifically, he served as
General Manager and oversaw the development of Conquest Water Services (a predecessor
company of High Sierra's SWD business in the region) from one facility to seven facilities. In his
capacity as General Manager of Conquest Water Services, Mr. Goddard acquired locations,
permitted facilities (including Weld County USR permits and COGCC drilling permits), oversaw
drilling and construction, and managed the operations and customer relationships.

The SWD Market in Weld County, CO
• Horizontal E&P wells require a large amount of water to frac and complete the well, and much of this
water comes back to the surface early in the life of the well. The increased use of horizontal well
completions has greatly increased the quantity of disposal volumes injected in Weld County's
commercial SWD facilities.
• Based on publicly available information provided by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission, the amount of oilfield wastewater injected into Weld County SWD facilities has increased
over 4x since January 2010.
• The last commercial disposal facility opened in Weld County was the C8 facility opened by Conquest in
August 2011 . The disposal capacity of Weld County's eleven existing commercial disposal facilities
doesn't meet current disposal demand.
— Results in long wait times at existing facilities
— Oilfield trucks waiting in line at disposal facilities spill out onto Weld County roadways
— E&P operators are reportedly shutting in producing wells due to the lack of disposal capacity
• Further, the existing disposal capacity is woefully inadequate to meet future disposal needs based on
drilling plans disclosed by the operators in the region. For example, Noble Energy has disclosed plans
to increase drilling from 300 wells in 2013 to over -600 wells per year by 2016. Other large operators
have similar drilling plans on the table.
There is an urgent need for more oilfield wastewater disposal capacity in Weld County

Expedition - A Good Neighbor
• Jim Goddard has operated SWD facilities in Weld County for over 20 years. During this time, Jim has taken a
number of steps to be a good neighbor to the residents of Weld County, particularly those in close proximity to
the facilities he has built and operated.
• Below are a few examples of policies Expedition will implement at the proposed EWS #2 location in order to be
a good neighbor to nearby Weld County residents (Mr. Goddard has previously implemented these policies at
prior locations he built and/ or operated).
— Use of pipelines to reduce truck traffic - Expedition will seek to construct pipelines to connect nearby oil
and gas wells in order to reduce the number of oilfield trucks. As evidence of this, Expedition has
decreased its USR request from 130 trucks/ day to 70 trucks/ day.
— Morning hours of operation - In response to concerns about school bus pick up in the early morning,
Expedition proposes to open the facility for operation at 8:00am, half an hour after the school bus picks up
at 7:30am
— Nighttime hours of operation - In order to reduce the amount of truck traffic at night, Expedition
proposes to shut its gate at 10:00pm, after which time no trucks will be allowed to enter.
- Low Lighting - Expedition will use " down-lighting" to reduce light emissions from the facility.
- Traffic Flow - Expedition has visited with several stakeholders to understand their concerns regarding
traffic flow.
• Importantly, Expedition has contacted or attempted to contact every single neighbor within close proximity to
the facility in order to address concerns and answer questions about the proposed EWS #2 facility. Specific
information on these efforts is available upon request.

Thank you so much for forwarding the information regarding the proposed Class II Injection Well.
I would ask that the following concerns be entered before a decision is made.
Ladies/Gentlemen;
I appreciate that measures have been taken to cap the traffic and hours of operation of the facility,
however I still have reservations that from 8am until 10pm, 7 days per week, 365 days per year there
will be 5 trucks per hour, 1 truck every 20 minutes, coming in and going out of the location at County
Road 59 and County Road 50. This will most definitely impact noise and traffic. I can only presume
there will also be additional ambient noise from the pumping and injection equipment as well. Thus,
disturbing what historically has been a quiet"neighborhood".
Additionally, with the dangerously blind curve that is just north of the intersection of County Road 50
and County Road 59 I anticipate accidents. This is already a concern, with the paving of County Road
50 I have seen numerous occasions where semi-trucks have failed to stop and barely slow to traffic on
County Road 59.
I have seen no information regarding the chemical components in the brine water that will be injected
into the ground nor the waste that will be discharged from the trucks at the washout. While the brine
injections should be far deeper than any well water, these and the surface waste washout emissions
are still a point of concern for me, my child and my livestock.
Section 2 C states that"Staff has not received letters, telephone calls or electronic mail from adjacent
or surrounding property owners". The first I became aware of such a project was by happening upon a
notice posted at the Kersey Post Office regarding the hearing on June 18th. If Expedition Water
Solutions made any attempt, which I doubt, to contact those of us that will be impacted but their
proposal, I can state that I was not. This blatant disregard for their "neighbors" is, I hope, not
indicative of future relations.
Clearly the negative financial impact due to depreciation of my property value and the certain
environmental impact due to increased traffic, noise and disturbance are of great concern to me,
however the overall welfare of my child, our home and our lifestyle are paramount in my opposition to
this proposal.
Respectfully,
Amy Rittenhouse

Kim,
I've reviewed the above proposal and the traffic narrative provided. The narrative does not address the
intersection of US 34 with WCR 59. It's impossible to determine if the intersection traffic volume is
increasing by more than 20% based upon the information provided. Such an increase would require
that a new access permit for US 34/WCR 59 be obtained . But having said that, all of the auxiliary lanes
are already constructed. Getting a permit would be just a formality.

Case No. USR14-0011
Applicant: Plumb Ridge, LLC dba Expedition Water Solutions
Weld County Board of County Commissioners Hearing - June 18, 2014
PUBLIC REQUEST FOR DENIAL
Summary Points :
1. There is no need for the proposed facility because all of the major oil producers operating in the area already
have exclusive delivery contracts at other existing and proposed locations closer to the source, that are
currently operated by a highly experienced, well established, and publically-funded company.
2. The proposed location is currently zoned and suitable for rural residential use only, not industrial use.
3. No truck haul routes to and from the proposed facility have been determined and can be changed at any time.
4. School bus and pedestrian safety concerns exist. Even though the Applicant has expressed a willingness to
open at 8AM, they do not propose to close at 3 :30PM when kids return home from school.
5 . Serious public road problems:
• WCRs 50 and 61 are chip-sealed ( not paved) and cannot support the weight and proposed volume of heavy
truck traffic because those roads are already deteriorating, even after less than a year of use.
• There are no shoulders on WCRs 50, 59 or 61 and dangerously deep drainage ditches exist on both sides of
all three roads.
• The onsite truck parking area associated with the proposed facility is inadequate and truck staging on
public roads near the entrances of other similar facilities occurs on a regular basis.
• The turning radius at the intersections of WCRs 50/59, 50/61, and 61/US 34 is inadequate and unsafe for
the proposed size and volume of heavy truck traffic. Turning, acceleration, and deceleration lanes would
be necessary at all three intersections, as well as the entrance to the proposed facility, which would
require the acquisition of a significant amount of adjacent private property.
• Motorist visibility at the intersections of WCRs 50/59 and 50/61 is limited due to hills and offset Section
correction line alignments at both locations.
6. The Applicant has suggested that water could be transported to the proposed facility via (a ) pipeline(s) .
However, all of the landowners adjacent to the proposed facility are opposed to the application and all major
oil producers already have exclusive contracts for wastewater disposal with another firm .
7. Portions of the proposed facility are within FEMA Flood Way, and the proposed surface and groundwater
protection and storm water containment and detention plans are woefully inadequate.
8. Finally and perhaps most importantly, to date, the environmental and operational issues related to the tanker
washout aspect of the application have not been explained by the applicant or discussed at all, let alone
addressed.
