A vic inity map of the site is shown on Figure 1. Site Geoloqy and Geologic Hazards Site geology and geologic hazards were evaluated by David A. Glater, P.E., C.P.G., using fi eld reconnaissance on August 20, 2010 and a review of pertinent ava ilable litera ture. Literature reference s are cited at the end of this section. Most of the vacant 1.2 ac re site slopes gently north and east toward an ephemera l drainage swale that flows throug ll the northeast corn er. The ground surface was covered with thick grasses and shrubs.

The site lies near the northeast term in us of the mesa. Our borings encountered 30 feet of sandy c lay and c layey sand soils and did not pe netrate bedrock. Bedrock materials I)eneath the alluvium are from the Wasatch Formation. deposited in Eocene and Pa leocene (early Tert ia ry) time. The Wasatch is a co ntinental sedimentary deposit comprised of bedded c laystone shale. si ltsto ne and sa ndstone. No bedrock outcrops were present on the site. However, we notod an exposure of Wasatch shale and sandsto ne on a hills ide about 400 feet to the northwest. We did not prepa re a surficial geologic map of the si te due to the simplic ity and sing le unit prese nt. Brief reconnaissance fou nd no evide nce of avalanches. lands lides, rockfa lls, unstable s lopes or grolllld subside nce on th e s ite. Ground water was not encountered in our borings during drilling. Site s lopes did not exh ibit signs of Instability or severe erosion. The northeast corner is lower and adjacent to a seasonal drai nage. The Civil Engineer sho uld eva luate the hazard due to flooding. Site so ils should be considered to be somewhat susceptible to eros ion. Steep slopes will have higher erosion ra tes. Re-vegetation, drainage capture or erosion contro l methods can reduce potential for soil loss . Ex pansive soils are present at this s ite . The presence of ex pans ive soils sometimes referred to as swelling soils, constitutes a geolog ic haza rd . There is risk 111at ground heave co uld move and damage foundation s. The risks associated with swelling so ils can be mitigated but not eliminated by careful design, constru ction and maintenance procedures. Our test re sults indica te low swell potential. The type of building co nstruction associated with the planned compressor fa cility is genera lly not adversely affected by the amount of movement expected related to low swelling soi ls. Expansive soi ls as a geologic hazard are judged as a low ri sk considering the site and tlie planned site usage. The soil and hedrock units are not expected to respond unus ually to seismic activ ity. Liquefaction potential is cons idered ni l. Sites with thi ck deposits of clay soil will likely c lassify as Site Class D for seismic design purposes. Horizontal Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) for thi s site is 0.08g, with about a 1000 year return period. Horizontal response spectral acceleration for 0.2 sec. period (Ss) can be taken as 0.17g and for 1 sec. period (SI). 0.04g . Only minor damage to relatively new. properly designed and built stru ctures would be expected . Our project engineer, Mr. Edward R. " Ted " White, vis ited th e s ite and performed a radiation s urvey. Our survey cons isted of walking along lines the length of th e site in a east-west directio n. Lines were spaced approximately 30 to 50 feet apart. We observed radiation measurements that were taken with a Ludlum Instruments. In c. Model No. 19 Micro-R-Meter ca rri ed at arms length (approximately 2 feet above the ground s urface). Radiation readings were observed hy contj,1Uously glancing back and forth from the Mic ro -R-Meter to the line of travel. We observed ra diation measurements averaging approximate ly 4 micro roentgens per hour. Some areas had readings as low as 0 microroentgens per hour and as high as 10 mlcroroentgens per hour. In our opinion , these read ings on th e site are incjica tive of normal background radiation for th e area and do not indica te contamination.

Aerial Photography dated August 7. 2005 by Google Earth Planned Constru ction We understand constru ction at the site will consi st of installing five compressors. The compressors will be enclosed by either five se parate buildings or one large building will cover all five of the compressors . For purposes of this report we have assumed that each compressor will be between 10 and 15 feet wide and 25 to 30 feet long. Based on our expe ri ence we have assumed the compressors weigh between 75,000 and 100,000 pounds. A gravel roadway will access the compressors. We anticipate maximum excavation depths of about 10 feet will be required for s ite dovelopme nt. Compressors are normally delivered to sites attac hed to structural steel skids and are placed on a prepared pad by a c ran e. In some cases the compressor skid is placed on a concrete mat foundation and then bolted to the mat. In some cases the steel skid acts as the foundation and the unit is placed directly on the ground. The enclosure building is normally supported on a foundation that is separated from the compressor concrete mat. We should be provided plans when developed that show the planned method of founding the planned compressor and building. If construction will differ s ignifica ntly from the description above we should be informed so that we can check that our recommendatio ns are appropriate. Investigation We drilled three exploratory borings anel two suhgrade horings at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The ex ploratory borings were advanced to depths of 30 foet and the suhgrade borings were advanced to depths of 5 feet using 4-inch diameter, continuou s-flight solid -stom auger and a track -mou nted drill rig.

Graphic logs of the borings . including res ults of field penetration res ista nce tes ts arc presented on the Summary Logs of Explorato ry Borings on Figure 2. The borings were ba ck filled after drilling operations were completed. Soils at the si te consisted of about 1 foot of sandy c lay " topsoil" underlain by sandy clay with lenses of s ilty and c layey sa nd and c laystone pieces to the maximum ex plored depth of the 30 feet. The soils were very sti ff based on the resu lts of fi eld penetration resista nce tes ts. Selected samples of the soils were at moisture contents of 4.0 to 21.9 percent and dry densities of 104 to 123 pounds per cubic foot ipcl). Atterberg limits were liquid limits of 26 to 47 percent and plasti ci ty indices of 11 to 25 percent. The samples had 77 to 97 percent si lt and clay s ize parti cles ipass ing the No. 200 sieve). Four samples of the soils were tested for volume change potential us ing a onedimensional consolldometer. The samples exhibited 0.5 percent to 1.7 percent swell when wetted under a verti cal press ure of 1.000 psf. Laboratory test results are presented in Appendix A. Earthwork The compressor may be placed on a conc rete mat or may be placed d irec tly on the ground surface supported by a steel skid attached to the compressor. The building will likely be supported on a separate foundation. The natural soil is very stiff c lay which is expansive. The clay in it's in -s itu state would likely swell if wetted. Signifi ca nt wetting could result in heave that could adversely affect operations. We recommend that the ex isting clay soils be removed to hetween 3 feet below the existing ground surface at the compressor and enclosure building footprint locations . We believe that a 3 foot excavation back filled with moisture treated and densely compacted struc tural fill will result in suffic ient thi ckness to s upport the compressor and building with only small amounts of heave or settlement. Structural fill should be placed below the compressor footp rint and should extend at least 2 feet beyond the planned building. Structural fill can consist of an imported Class 6 aggregate base course or similar soil or the natural clays. Stru ctural fi ll should be placed as described below. We believe the use of a Class 6 aggregate base course mixed with the natural c lay would provide better performance ami would be easier to place to our recommendations than reuse of only the natural c lays. We understand that the compressor manufacturers frequently recommend placi ng the compressor foundati on on a layer of sa nd. The sand layer can be placed, as recommended by the compressor manufacturer on the stru ctural fill. Proper drainage should he provided to prevent excess moisture penetrating the sand layer. Excavations will likely be limited to those required to construct the access road and to subexcavate for the compressor and the huilding. Excavations can be accomplished using conventional, heavy-duty excavation equipment. Sides of excavations will need to be s lo ped or braced to meet local, state and fede ral safety regulations. We ex pect the soils in excavatio ns will classify as a Type B soil based on PHIL VAUGHAN CONSTRlJCTION MANAGEMENT, INC VALEAUS·ANTERO HUNTER MESA COMPRESSOR STATION PROJECT NO G505500 125 REVlseo ':i 'GSoS~OO OOQ' '25.3 L(I\I('t~'OSI)~~OO ,:n 1.1 R(VI~[O ur,~ 4 OSHA sta ndards governing excavations. Temporary slopes deeper that 5 feet th .1t are not retained should be no steeper that 1 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) in Type B soils according to OSHA standards. It is important to properly place and compact stru ctural fill. Class 6 aggregate base course or sim ilar material should be pro r erly moisture treated to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. If the natural clays are reus ed as stru c tural fill the clay soils should be moisture treated to 1 percent below to 3 percent above optimum moisture co ntent. Fill should be placed in loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less, moisture-trea ted . and compacted to approximately 98 percent of sta ndard Proctor (ASTM 0 698) maximum dry density. We recommend that density of fill be checked during placement. Foundations Compressor We understand that the compressors may be delivered with structural stee l skids that can be set di rec tly onto the ground. A maximum so il bearing capac ity of 4,000 psf is recommended between the skid and the ground. We believe that a steel. concrete filled skid placed on the prepa red su bgrade, as desc ribed above. will perform adequately. A more pos itive approach to limit future movement would be to place the compressor on a mat foundation. Differential movement of up to 1 to 2 inches may occur if overexcavation is not porformed. We would expect differential movement of less than 1 inch afte r overexcavation. Gas compressor foundation s are often designed with enough mass to attenuate most mac hine vibration within the structure. For design of vibrating machine foundation s. the subso ils can be cons idered to be unsaturated very stiff sandy clay. A low-strain s hear modulus of about 15,000 psi is appropriate if the sandy clay soils are not likely to become wetted or softened, or if a thick layer of imported sand and gravel is placed prior to compressor foundation constru ction. Sholiid the clay become softened. a shear modulus of 5,000 psi is more appropriate. Poisson's Ration can be taken as 0.45. Criteria for mat and footing foundations are provided below. Building(s) The compressor building should be founded to mitigate future movements. Differentialmoveillent of up to 1 to 2 inches may occur if excavation is not performed. We would expect less than 1 inch of differential movement after overexcavation. Criteria for footing and mat foundation s are provided below. Footings 1. Footing foundations should be supported by the undisturbed, natural soil or densely compac ted stru ctural fi ll.

Footings supported on the natural soils or properly placed stru ctural fil l can be designed for a maximum allowable soil press ure of 3.000 psI. 3. Continuous footings should have a minimum width of at least 16 inches. Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum dimensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger s izes may be required , depending upon fou ndation loads. 4. Grade beams and foundation walls sho uld be well reinforced to span undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 12 feet. Reinforcement sho uld be designed by the structural engineer. Mat Foundation 1. The total applied load averaged across the entire mat should be 1,000 psf or less. To deve lop design for reinforcement patterns at loca tions of isolated loads or along foundation wa ll (line loads), we suggest assuming an allowable soil pressure of 3,000 psf at the base of the mat. 2. A finite element analytical program should be used to proportion reinforcement in the mat. Soil is modeled Ll sing a "spring constant" when using this type of ana lysis. We believe a suitable design va lue for the coefficient of subgra de reaction is 75 pci. 3. Utilities which penetrate the mat foundation will need to be detailed such that movement of the mat is not transferred to the utility line. The mat found ation and utility pipe penetration need to be able to move separately. Floor System and Siabs-o n-G rade Our subsurface information indicates that slab-on-grade floor construction can be supported by the natural soils or by an at least 2 feet thickness of stru ctural fill with low potential differential movement. If the subgrade soils get wet the struc tural fi ll alternative will likely res ult in less slab movement and c racking . If a s lab-on-grade is to be placed on the natural soils the subgrade preparation shou ld involve scarification, moisture treatment and compaction of at least the upper 8 inches of subgrade soil s. Stru ctural fill below slabs shou ld be placed in accordance with the recommendations provided in the Earthwork section. If a mat foundation is chosen, the mat wi ll serve as the floor slab and risk of differential movement wi ll be less than a s lab-on-grade. We recommend the fol lowing precautions for s lab-o n-g rade construction at thi s site . 1. Slabs should be separated from wall footings and column pads with slip joints w hich allow free vertica l movement of the slabs. PHil VAUGHAN CO NSTRUCTION MANAGEMl:Nl , INC.

Underslab plumbing should be pressure tes ted fo r leaks before the slabs are po ured. Plumbing and uti lities which pass through slabs should be isolated from th e slabs with sleeves ana provided with fl exi!l le couplings to slab-supported appliances . 3. Frequent control joints should be provided, in accordance with Ameri can Concrete Institute (ACI) recommenciations. to red uce problems assoc iated with shrinkage and curling . Surface Drainaqe Surface dra inage is critical to the performance of foundations. Ground surfaces should be sloped to direct runoff away from the compressor bui ldings. Backfill adjacent to the buildings should be moisture co nditioned and compacted as recommended in the Earthwork section. Proposed Drive Section Based on our explora tory borings, excavations for the access road and other drive areas will be in stiff to very stiff clay. A gravel road surface is preferred. The road wi ll be used by heavy constru ction traffic during site development. Moderately heavy tru cks will likely utilize the road for maintenance after construction. Fill will be the native c lay. The su bgrade soils should be scarified to at least 8 inches, moistu re trea ted and compacted. Road embankment fill should be placed in max imull1 thick ness of 8 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95 porcont of standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density. Our ex perience is tha t pla cement of a geosynthetic material on the prepa red subgrade, below the aggregate !lase course is beneficial. We recommend a geogrid material. We suggest a minimum 8 inch thickness of COOT Class 3 aggregate base course below at least 4 inches of a Class 6 driving course. Less aggregate base course would likely res ult in more than anticipated maintenance. Geotechnica l Risk The concept of risk is an important as pect of any geotechnical evaluation. The primary reason for this is that the analytical methods used to develop geotechnical recommendations do not comprise an exact sc ience. The analytical tools Wllich geotechnical engineers use are genera lly empirical and must be tempered by engineering judgment and experience. Therefore, the solutions or recommendations presented in any geotechnical eva luation should not be considered risk-free and. mo re importantly. are not a guarantee that the interaction between the so ils and the proposed structure will perform as des ired or intended. What the engineering recommendations presented in the preceding sections do constitute is our estimate, based on the information generated during thi s and prev ious evalu ation s and our ex peri ence in working with these conditions, of those measu res that are necessary to help the development perform satisfactorily_ The owner must understand this PHIL VAUGI IAN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INC VAlERUS·AtHERQ HUNTER MESA COMPRESSOR STATION PRQJECI NO G505500.125 REVISED S !GSOS~O 000 125'1 Letl Dr\·GSO~5-00 12'.

The review letter is dated December 17, 2010. We have been asked by Soprls Engineering to provide comment relative to review Comment No.3. This letter provides our response to review Comment No. 3. The comment is "The proposed drainage and slope between the proposed compressor buildings Is very flat (0.5%). This slope will be difficult to construct and maintain as a gravel surface and does not likely match the drainage recommendations of the Geotechnical engineer." We reviewed the most current drainage plan and discussed the proposed grading between the proposed compressor buildings with Sopris Engineering, LLC. Grading will Include slopes down and away from the buildings at +1-2 percent to the north or south. The ground surface will then transition to a slope to the east at 0.5 percent. Our recommendations were for positive drainage away from the buildings. The plans do show positive drainage away from the buildings. The gravel surface cross-section will be 4 inches of Class 6 aggregate base course over 8 inches of Class 3 aggregate base course on a geotextile fabric. We understand that the building will have gutters and downspouts. The inclusion of gutters and downspouts to collect and remove rain and snowmelt from the roof will significantly limit wetting of the area between the buildings. The roof runoff water should be discharged to the east of the buildings. Assuming positive 234 Cenler Drive I Glenwood Springs. Colorado 81601 Telephone: 970·945·2809 Fax: 970·945·7411 drainage between the buildings, gutters and leaders is maintained, we believe the areas between the buildings will not be problematic to the planned site usage. We believe the current plans are appropriate. Some stabilization may be required after significant precipitation events. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project.
