MCC /Office Shop (dimensions not given) and located south and adjacent to the tanks along the west
side of the facility. During the pre- application meeting, the Applicant indicated that the "modular
office" is a control building that houses computers for the compressors on -site. Employees visit this
building to monitor the equipment but don't spend great lengths of time within this structure. No
water or waste water facilities are proposed in this building.
As per Section 4 -107 - Amendment to an Approved Land Use Change Permit, a proposal to change
a Land Use Change Permit approved under these regulations and proposed amendments to
Conditional Use Permits and Special Use Permits approved by the Board of County Commissioners
under the Land Use Resolution of 1978, as amended (pursuant to Section 2 -107) shall require
application to the Director for Amendment of an Approved Land Use Change Permit. The Director
shall review the application to determine whether or not the proposed change constitutes a

been provided. The applicant's consultant has recommended that weed
control be performed prior to ground disturbing activities. Staff agrees
with this and would like to see treatment application records provided
before construction starts, weather permitting.
B. Regarding revegetation, the revegetation plan and site reclamation plan
am acceptable. Staff does request that the applicant make the seed tags
available to Garfield County upon completion of the reseeding efforts.
Staff recommends a revegetation security. The applicant needs to
quantify the amount of surface disturbance for both the compressor
station and the lateral pipeline located on private lands. Once this
information is provided an amount for the security will be established.
This may be in the form of a letter of credit, if deemed appropriate by the
County Attorney's Office, or the funds by may be deposited with the

be provided to Garfield County as they are obtained.
H. The proposed pipeline crosses various drainage ways shown on the
USGS map provided. These streams are proposed to be crossed under
a Nationwide permit. Only one of these is discussed within the
application, "... a small dry drainage located on Richard Gieske's
property..." The cumulative total disturbance of crossing these other
drainages, and possibly wetlands, may require permitting with the US
Army Corp of Engineers. The applicant should verify that these other
crossings will not require permitting.

Subject: Application to Amend PDPA Approved By Resolution 2005 -53
Bailey Compressor Station & East Lateral Pipeline
Dear Molly:
Enclosed is an application to amend the subject Pipeline Development Plan Application (PDPA).
Supporting documentation to this application is provided below and in the attachments to this letter.
Summary of Change Requested
As a result of changes made during construction at the Bailey Compressor Station, the final
configuration of the compressor station is different than that approved in the subject PDPA. These
changes were required to facilitate construction and to increase the efficiency and safety of the facility.
The site plan that was approved under the PDPA is included as Attachment A, and Attachment B
contains an as -built drawing for the compressor station. The changes to the original site plan are
detailed below.
1. The orientation of the compressors, compressor building, and associated equipment (e.g.,
cooling towers) was shifted to a more east -west orientation than was shown on the original site
plan.
2. The orientation of the slug bottles, dehydrators and pig catchers was shifted approximately 45
degrees from that shown on the original site plan.
3. The MCC /Office shown on the original site plan has been separated into two separate buildings
with the MCC (now shown as the Electrical Building) being moved to the east side of the facility
and the Office changed to a Control Building that is located near the northwest corner of the
facility. The Control Building that is currently installed at the location simply serves as a place
for personnel to occasionally assemble and to keep computers monitoring the facility in a safe
and weather -proof environment. The current Control Building is not certified by the Colorado
Division of Housing (CDOH) and will be replaced with a CDOH compliant structure upon
approval of this amendment and an associated building permit from Garfield County.
4. The incinerator (now referred to as the burner) has been moved to the northeast from the
location shown on the original site plan.
5. The vent stack has been moved to the east from the location shown on the original site plan.

6. In accordance with the original PDPA approval, a maximum of six compressors have been
constructed at the facility, therefore, the additional two compressors that were shown on the
original site plan will not be installed and are not shown on the as -built drawing.
Based on the information provided above, this amendment meets the definition of a non - substantial
change as defined in Article XVI of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution. The following
provides detail on how the criteria that must be met for the determination of a non - substantial change
are met by this amendment:
1. Is consistent with action(s) taken during previous Land Use Change Permit approval — As
discussed above and shown in the attachments to this letter, the changes made to this facility are
consistent with the original PDPA approval. The overall configuration and footprint of the facility
remain unchanged.
2. Does not change the use category of the proposed development between residential, commercial
and industrial uses - The proposed amendment does not change the use category.
3. Does not change the basic character of the approved use of land on which the activity occurs,
including basic visual appearance and method of operation — The proposed amendment will not
change the basic character of the previously approved use of the land.
4. Does not constitute a new land development activity — The proposed amendment does not
constitute a new land development activity.
5. Does not violate any Land Use Code standard — The proposed amendment will be constructed in
accordance with all applicable standards and the conditions of the approved PDPA.
6. Does not substantially increase off -site impacts (including but not limited to increased traffic, water
use, wastewater generation, etc.) in the surrounding neighborhood — As noted above, the overall
configuration and footprint of the facility has not changed, therefore, there should be no increase in
off -site impacts. In fact, BBC has successfully implemented a number of design changes to the
facility to address initial noise complaints received from neighboring residents.
7. Does not substantially increase the need for on -site parking or utilities — Not applicable.
8. Does not increase the floor area of the use by more than five (5) percent or decrease the open
space on the site by more than five (5) percent -- Not applicable.
9. Does not endanger the public health, safety or welfare (Resolution 2010 -30) — The proposed
amendment will not present any public health, safety or welfare concerns.
