PROJECT: Piceance Interim Sales Line
OWNER: Chevron USA Inc. Surface and Minerals in FEE
REPRESENTATIVE: Julie Justus , Chevron
PRACTICAL LOCATION: Portions of Section 36 of T5S, R98W through Portions of Sections 3,
4 , 9, 16, 17 , 20, 29, 30 and 31 of T5S, R97W
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Pipeline Review Process as per Article 9 of the Land Use and
Development Code
ZONING: Resource Lands -Plateau
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Review Process : An application for a pipeline must be submitted for any pipeline proposed to
be located within unincorporated Garfield County, excluding those on public or municipal lands ,
which are :
1. Greater than 12 inches in diameter and over 2 miles in length or 2 cumulative miles if
separated by municipal or public lands; or
2. Any pipeline that is more than 5 miles in length or 5 cumulative miles if separated by
municipal or public lands.
The Applicant proposes a new 8" pipeline that is approximately 6.8 miles in length which triggers the
review process through Article 9 -Pipeline .
Purpose and Need : The existing Piceance 30" sales line is oversized due to a business plan
decision to suspend drilling in th e Skinn e r Ridg e fi e ld . As existing production declines and no
new wells are put into production, gas volumes will not be sufficient to keep the 30 " pipeline
operating efficiently . Operating the 30 " pipeline at lower volumes and pressures introduces the
problem of liquid accumulation in the line . A 2012 study determined that the 30 " sales line was
the limiting factor of the field due to the need for frequent maintenance pigging to sweep liquids
from the line . Liquids removal is necessary to prevent corrosion and preserve pipeline integrity .
The proposed 8" line will serve as an interim sales line until such time as drilling resumes and
gas production increases to the po int where the 30 " sales line can be put back into service .
Project Overview: Several
alternatives were evaluated
with the best alternative
identified as construction of
a new 8 " interim sales line .
The proposed project will
consist of the installation of
approximately 6.86 miles of
NPS 8.625 " OD standard
wall pipe from a tie-in point
on top of the mesa to the
existing Delivery Facility
located in Section 3, T5S ,
R97W , Garfield County ,
Colorado . That section of
30 " pipeline that runs from
the valley bottom to the top
of the mesa will be left in
service to avoid additional
disturbance to the steep
talus slope .
The proposed pipeline will
be constructed entirely
within the 100' right-of-way
of the existing 30 " sales line
with the exception of a 1. 9
mile re-route which will
closely follow the existing
Trail Ridge Road . The re-
route of this section is intended to avoid construction on steep slopes and creek crossings in
that area . A remote automated multi-pig launcher skid and an enclosed pig receiver skid will be
installed at the tie-in point and Delivery Facility respectively . The project will be completed
entirely on Chevron surface . Garfield County still holds the re-vegetation bond for the 30 "
pipeline right-of-way (Bond No. 6452223) in the amount of $275,750.00 .
Construction is planned for mid -April and will continue through mid-September of 2014.
The proposed right-of-way consists of a 50 ' permanent right-of-way with 25 ' temporary
construction work space on one side of the right-of-way as deta iled in drawing , PBSR-
59836EVF-PPL-DTL-0005. Eleven (11) temporary , variable-size staging areas will be used
over the course of construction as shown on the route drawings .
The total length of the right-of-way is 36,208 feet. Total acres of disturbance will be about 62
acres , all of which w ill be reclaimed immediately following construction . Less than 1 acre of
permanent disturbance will be required for the installation of the multi-p ig launcher skid . The pig
receiver will be installed within the fenced area of the existing Delivery Facility .
The pipeline will be used to deliver compressed and treated dry natural gas produced from the
Chevron Skinner Ridge field to market.
2
Traditional carbon steel pipeline right-of-way, Ditching, Stringing, Bending, Welding, and
Backfill methods will be used for construction.

1 Introduction
Chevron is proposing to install approximately 6.8 miles of 8-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and
associated pig launcher and receiver skids on Chevron-owned properties in Garfield County, Colorado.
The proposed pipeline would carry compressed and treated dry natural gas produced from the Chevron
Skinner Ridge field and would serve as an interim sales line until such time as Chevron resumes its
Piceance drilling program and production volumes are again sufficient to operate the existing 30-inch
sales pipeline efficiently.
The proposed pipeline would be installed within the existing rights-of-way (ROW) of the Chevron 30-inch
Pipeline (4.9 miles), and Trail Ridge Road / WPX pipeline ROW (1.9 miles). The 1.9 mile deviation from
the Chevron 30-inch pipeline ROW was determined to be the most economical and the least disruptive
of the available routes and was selected to avoid additional disturbance to the steep slopes and natural
streams along the ROW in the SE/4 of section 9, T5S, R97W. See attached Alignment Sheets 1-5 for
route details.
A portion of the existing 30-inch pipeline from its origin in the bottom of the Clear Creek Valley (NESW
of Section 36, T5S, R98W) to the top of the escarpment on Sleepy Ridge (NESE of Section 36, T5S, R98W)
would remain in service to avoid the risks associated with construction on about two (2) miles of 45-
degree to near-vertical slope leading out of the valley. The remaining six (6)miles of the 30-inch pipeline
would be purged of all gas and liquids, decommissioned, and left in place for future use.
1.1 Project Purpose and Need
The existing 30-inch sales pipeline is currently oversized due to a business plan decision in 2009 to
suspend drilling in the Chevron Skinner Ridge Field. As a result, no new wells have been brought online
to offset production declines and current gas production volumes are not sufficient to keep the 30-inch
sales pipeline operating efficiently. An evaluation of the systems that impact Chevron’s Piceance asset
minimum capacity has identified the 30-inch sales pipeline as the limiting component as these lower gas
volumes do not support the minimum pigging velocity needed to keep the pipeline swept of liquids. The
minimum velocity is defined as that which allows a pig to sweep liquids to prevent increasing pressure
differential and increased risk of a corrosion failure.
Effective liquids removal is critical in preserving pipeline integrity, and Chevron has increased the
frequency of maintenance pigging to prevent liquid accumulations in the pipeline, but this is a short-
term measure that introduces unnecessary costs and risks to the program. If Chevron is unable to
effectively remove liquids from the sales pipeline at a lower velocity and return to dry differential, the
Skinner Ridge Field would necessarily be shut in to protect the asset.
The installation of a smaller diameter pipeline, as proposed in this application, would allow for
continued gas production at lower volumes and would preserve the integrity and capacity of the 30-inch
pipeline for future use.
2 Location
The proposed 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline and associated facilities would be constructed entirely on
Chevron property as described below:

Legal Description: Portions of Section 36 of Township 5 South, Range 98 West through Portions of
Sections 3 ,4, 9, 16, 17, 20, 29, 30 and 31 of Township 5 South, Range 97 West of the 6 th Principal
Meridian, Garfield County, Colorado.
Garfield County Parcel Number: 2137-153-00-009
Zoning: Resource Lands-Plateau
Existing Land Use: wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, and natural resource development.
The proposed pipeline would begin in Section 36, T5S, R98W at the 30-inch pipeline tie-in point on
Sleepy Ridge and would continue along the existing 30-inch Pipeline ROW in a northeasterly direction
for approximately 4.9 miles to its intersection with Trail Ridge Road where it would deviate from the 30 -
inch pipeline ROW and continue another 1.9 miles along Trail Ridge Road and within an existing 8-inch
natural gas pipeline ROW owned and operated by WPX Energy. The pipeline would terminate at the
existing Chevron Delivery Facility located in the NWNW of Section 3, T5S, R97W. See attached Vicinity
Map for access and location details.
3 Ownership
The pipeline and associated facilities would be located entirely on Chevron property. Route surveys
revealed no structures other than those associated with well pads and/or natural gas production
facilities within 350 feet of the proposed ROW. The well pads and facilities adjacent to the pipeline
route, as shown on the attached Alignment Sheets 1-5, are operated by WPX Energy on Chevron lease.

6 Project Overview
The proposed 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline would be installed at a 15-foot offset from existing pipelines
and within those previously disturbed rights-of-way (ROW). About 4.9 miles of the proposed 8-inch
pipeline would be installed within the existing 100-foot ROW of the Chevron 30-inch Pipeline. The
installation would then deviate from the 30-inch ROW and continue another 1.9 miles along Trail Ridge
Road within an existing WPX pipeline ROW to the Chevron Delivery Facility in the SWNW, Section 3, T5S,
R97W where it would terminate. The proposed 8-inch pipeline would tie-into existing infrastructure at
the 30-inch pipeline valve on Sleepy Ridge and at the existing Chevron Delivery Facility.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014

The proposed ROW would be 75 feet wide by about 36,208 feet, or 6.8 miles long. ROW disturbance
would equal approximately 62 acres. Temporary Staging Areas would extend outside of the ROW
boundaries and would comprise about 7.48 acres of temporary disturbance. The combined total acres
of disturbance would be about 69.48 acres.
Except as authorized by Chevron, all work would be performed as a continuous spread operation;
completing all activities affecting land use (i.e. grading through restoration) at any particular location
within 10 days after commencing initial operations at that location. Chevron may alter the rate of
progress on any portion of work or stop work on new property until cleanup has been entirely
completed at all locations where activity affecting land use began more than 10 days before.
Clearing, grading, ditching, boring, pipe stringing, bending, welding, coating, laying, and backfilling
activities along the pipeline route would be confined to the width of the permitted construction ROW
and to specific temporary workspaces, staging areas and access routes as approved by Chevron.
6.1 Construction Schedule
Weather permitting, Chevron is proposing to begin construction on the pipeline ROW on or about April

6.2 Site Preparation and Construction
CDPHE-Air Pollution Control Division approval of a Land Development APEN for land disturbance
emissions (fugitive dust) would be obtained prior to any construction activities. A Land Development
APEN is required for projects greater than 25 contiguous acres in size. The Land Development APEN has
been submitted and is pending approval.
WestWater (WWE) Engineering Biologists evaluated the proposed project area for occurrences of
special status plants and wildlife, raptors, noxious weeds, and potential USACE jurisdictional Waters of
the U.S. in July of 2013. See attached Chevron North America Exploration and Production, 8-Inch
Interim Sales Pipeline Impact Analysis: Section 9-103-K-Sensitive Area Survey, WWE 2013 for detailed
survey findings and recommendations. Prior to any clearing and grading activities, WWE biologists
would conduct a spot-check survey to confirm no significant change in conditions and to verify and/or
identify any active nesting sites in proximity to the proposed pipeline route. Per WWE
recommendation, clearing of vegetation along the proposed pipeline route would occur as early in the
spring as possible to minimize potential for nesting and/or impacts to nesting birds.
The pipeline centerline and edge of ROW were previously surveyed and staked. The Land surveyor
would return as early as possible in the spring to verify stakes are in place and add new staking to the
ROW as necessary.
Prior to construction, essential project personnel would inspect the ROW, both visually and with a
pipeline locator, to identify all surface and subsurface features of concern. All existing underground
features would be marked in advance of construction and spotted by manual digging or hydro-
excavation (hydrovac) to minimize any potential for damage. All line locating One-Call notifications
would be made at least 48 hours prior to excavation to identify the precise location and depth to
underground facilities such as pipelines, telephone cables, electric power cables, etc. that either cross or
are in close proximity to the proposed pipeline.
Once all pre-construction planning and preparations were made and all permits acquired, equipment
and crews would be mobilized, and clearing and grading operations would commence, weather and soil
conditions permitting. Should soils be too wet and/or travel conditions hazardous, construction
activities would be postponed until such time as conditions improved.
Traditional carbon steel pipeline Grading, Ditching, Stringing, Bending, Welding, and Backfill methods
would be used for construction. ROW construction details are clearly illustrated on the attached
drawing PBSR-59836EVF-PPL-DTL-0005, and are briefly described below.
Construction along the 30-inch Pipeline ROW (4.9 miles) would consist of a 50-foot area on one side of
the pipe for trenching, staging pipe, welding, pipe inspection, and stockpiling soils. A 10 -foot
undisturbed buffer would be maintained within this space to keep disturbance to a minimum and to
prevent any disturbance outside the prescribed ROW. An additional 25-foot temporary workspace
would be cleared on the opposite side of the trench to accommodate a 17-foot construction lane for
moving pipe and equipment and an 8-foot passing lane.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014

Construction along Trail Ridge Road and WPX pipeline ROW would be conducted in much the same
manner as above. However, this ROW parallels Trail Ridge Road and a 5-foot buffer has been
incorporated into the temporary workspace between the outer edge of the ROW and the roadway to
minimize traffic impacts and to ensure the safety of the traveling public.
Grading would generally follow natural contours and would be kept to the minimum necessary for safe
and efficient pipeline installation. No native vegetation outside the prescribed ROW and associated
staging areas would be removed or otherwise disturbed by construction activities. Staging areas would
not be located in forested areas and no mature trees would be removed as a result of this project.
Erosion controls would be installed as needed depending on local factors and changed, moved, or
otherwise modified as necessary to effectively manage stormwater run-on and run-off. Controls would
be placed as appropriate in advance of grading and would be monitored and maintained throughout the
pipeline installation. Erosion and sediment control measures would be used in conjunction and in
compliance with the Chevron Field-Wide Stormwater Management Plan, and would remain in place
through reclamation and until the site was deemed stabilized. Erosion and sediment controls would be
inspected at regular intervals and maintained to ensure proper condition and function. Typical Erosion
and Sediment Controls are shown on drawing 007-12-11-061-02.
The ROW and associated access roads would be watered as needed to control fugitive dust. Fugitive
dust control is discussed in more detail in Section 8 Project Access / Traffic Control Plan.
6.3 Staging Areas
Up to 11 temporary, variable-sized staging areas would be constructed along the pipeline route as
shown on the attached Alignment Sheets 1-5.
6.4 Excavation
All excavation would be performed by mechanical means (i.e. trencher, backhoe, Hydrovac). No blasting
is expected to occur. Hydro-excavation is expected to be used extensively at locations where existing
underground utilities have been identified. Because the location is remote and it is not practical for
hydrovac trucks to travel to and from distant disposal facilities, hydrovac water would be discharged to
surface at a specific location designed and permitted for that purpose. One or more small
infiltration/sediment ponds would be constructed at TBD locations along the pipeline ROW for this
purpose. A Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment-Water Quality Control Division
(CDPHE-WQCD) discharge permit would be obtained for any such discharge to surface.
The pipeline ditch would be approximately 4-foot wide by 4-feet deep. The minimum clearance
between the pipeline and the walls of the ditch would be six inches. All stumps and roots would be cut
back so they do not contact the pipe, and no chips, stumps, roots, or other objectionable debris would
be left in the trench or on the ROW.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014

The ditch bottom would be of uniform grade, smooth and free from hard clods, rocks and foreign
materials. The bottom would be the full width of the trench with the corners cleaned out. Where the
ditch runs through rock or excessively rocky soil, the bottom and sides would be cleared of loose or
protruding rock and a six-inch pad of sand, or fine soil would be installed around the pipe. Sand bags
would be placed at 10-foot intervals to prevent damage to piping and coatings.
Temporary covers, cattle walkovers, barriers with warning lights, and any other protection for
incomplete construction and open trench would be installed as necessary prior to leaving the work site
each day. Open trench would incorporate barriers with warning lights at such points where traffic may
be impacted, and traffic control would be employed if and where necessary to ensure public safety.
Passageways across the ditch in the form of dirt plugs or temporary bridges would be constructed at all
roadways, driveways, livestock crossings, etc.., where traffic in any form would be reasonably expected.
All excavated soils would be windrowed along the ditch roughly as shown on the attached drawing
PBSR-59836EVF-PPL-DTL-0005. Topsoil would be segregated from the deeper soil horizons and placed
along the pipeline trench at a low profile to protect against soil loss by wind. Topsoil would not be
placed within any drainage, floodplain, or other area with potential for soil transport offsite by
stormwater. Topsoil may be covered depending on local conditions and only if deemed necessary to
prevent potential loss. The project is of relatively short duration and therefore topsoil would not be
seeded until the ROW is finally reclaimed (see Section 11 Revegetation Plan).
6.5 Stream Crossing
The pipeline would cross Wiesse Creek in the SWSE, Section 30, T5S, R97W at the roughly the same
location as the 30-inch pipeline. Wiesse Creek is a shallow intermittent stream that drains to Buck
Gulch which is tributary to Clear Creek. Wiesse Creek flows primarily during spring snow melt and storm
events and typically dries up and ceases flow in the drier summer months.
Wiesse Creek is flanked by moderately steep slopes; therefore an open-cut trench would be used to
cross the Creek. At this location, an open-cut trench would be less disruptive to the adjacent slopes
than would cutting back the hillsides to accommodate boring. Excavation equipment would access the
creek from Trail Ridge Road to the north and from a two-track ranch road in the bottom of the small
valley south of the creek. No traffic crossing would be expected.
If active flow is present at the time of excavation, a dam and pump method would be used to ensure
uninterrupted flow. Crossing at this location would be completed and the creek would be restored to its
natural form and function within one (1) day. Robust stormwater controls would be placed on either
side of the Creek to slow run-off velocity and to prevent sediment transport to the creek from the newly
disturbed ROW. A typical Water Body Crossing Open Cut Dam and Pump schematic is provided on the
attached drawing COCD-A-00002 (Detail 402).
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline

Wiesse Creek has been previously identified as a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional
stream. The minor temporary impact associated with the buried crossing qualifies for a non-reporting
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) #12 for Utility Line Activities. This crossing would not exceed the ½-
acre limit provided for in the NWP, nor would it result in a permanent loss to any Waters of the U.S or
wetland area. The crossing would comply with all NWP #12 permit requirements and permit conditions.
USACE review and approval would be obtained prior to any construction activities within the creek bed.
6.6 Pipe Specifications
About 36,500 linear feet of NPS 8-inch standard wall pipe (40-foot sections) would be needed to
complete the proposed pipeline installation. The line pipe would be delivered to the ROW and unloaded
and strung off the delivery trucks along the length of the pipeline ROW. If possible, all of the pipe
would be delivered in one trucking effort.
The pipe specifications and protective coatings to be used are detailed in the table 3 below:
Table 3 Pipe Specifications/Coatings

*FBE – Fusion-Bonded Epoxy
**ARO – Abrasion Resistant Overcoat
The pipeline would be equipped with cathodic protection powered by solar panels at the existing
Chevron Delivery Facility.
6.7 Project Facilities
Permanent facilities associated with the pipeline would include a 45-foot x 10-foot combination, remote
automated, multi-pig launcher skid located at the top of Sleepy Ridge in Section 36, T5S, 98W, 6th pm,
Garfield County, Colorado (see Alignment Sheet 1 sta. 0+00 for location). The automated Multi-Pig
launcher allows up to six (6) 8-inch pipeline pigs to be loaded and remotely launched using existing fiber
optic communication lines (Fiber Optic was installed at the time of the 30-inch pipeline construction).
An electronic Pig Signal verifies the launch.
The system would be controlled and monitored from the Control Room at Hiner Gate thereby
significantly reducing operator travel time and trip frequency normally associated with pipeline pigging.
Additionally, the multi-pig launcher would minimize, or eliminate, the need for operators to travel to the
site during the winter months, except in an upset condition where maintenance and/or repairs where
needed. The skid would also be designed with a bypass and traditional pig launcher for flexibility and to
accommodate any downtime in the automated system.
Automated Multi-Pig Launcher Detail
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014

The pig launcher skid would be installed within the existing 30-inch pipeline ROW as shown on the
attached Launcher Site Plan, PBSR-598EVF-CIV-PLT-0006. About 2.1 acres of temporary disturbance
would be required to complete the installation and all but approximately 1,500 square feet (skid
footprint, parking, workspace) would be reclaimed immediately following installation. The launcher site
would be accessed by an existing two-track road. This access is adequate and no upgrade to this road is
planned. Launcher skid details are provided on the following drawings:
• Location and example launcher photograph
• PBSR-598EVF-CIV-PLT-0006 Launcher Site Plan
• PBSR-598EVF-PIP-SHF-0001-01 Launcher Skid Sections and Details
• PBSR-598EVF-PPL-PVD-0004 Grading and Launcher Foundation Plan
An enclosed pig receiver skid would be installed within the fenced area of the existing Chevron Delivery
Facility located in Section 3, T5S, R97W, 6th PM, Garfield County, Colorado (See Alignment Sheet 5
Sta.360+00 for location). No new disturbance would be required for this installation. A portion of the
existing fence would be modified to accommodate a new man gate for ease of access and the existing
double drive gate would be relocated to accommodate skid installation. Receiver and Foundation Plan
details can be found on drawing PBSR-59836EVF-PPL-DTL-0004.
6.8 Hydrostatic testing
Hydrostatic testing is estimated to require about 800 barrels (33,600 gallons) of water. Fresh water
would be obtained from a local municipal source in Rifle, Colorado and/or by Dalbo Trucking, which has
access to water rights on Piceance Creek in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, whichever is deemed more
practical and economical. The water would be hauled to location and stored onsite in two (2) 400 barrel
tanks operated in series and equipped with secondary containment adequate to contain 150 percent of
a single tank.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014
11
Preliminary hydrostatic tests would be conducted prior to installation on all sections of the pipeline to
be laid under roads, streams, or other locations where leakage after installation would be difficult to
detect and/or repair. The sections of pipe would be hydrostatically tested with fresh water at a pressure
which stresses the pipe to 90 percent of its specified minimum yield strength.
The completed pipeline would be hydrostatically tested at the same pressures as above prior to
backfilling the trench. The duration of the test would be determined by the Company Representative,
but not less than 8 hours. The pipeline would be patrolled during the test and if any leaks were found,
crews would be onsite to perform any necessary repair work. Repairs would be made immediately and
the test repeated. Following the test, the line would be dewatered by pigging with air.
The fresh water used in the testing would be discharged back to tanks for reuse and/or discharged to
surface. Any discharge to surface would be permitted with the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment – Water Quality Control Division prior to the discharge and conducted in accordance
with all State regulations for the Discharge of Hydrotest water. Application for permit to Discharge
Hydrotest Water is in progress.
7 Decommission / Blowdown (30-inch Pipeline)
The 30-inch pipeline would be blown-down and decommissioned prior to tie-in with the proposed 8-
inch pipeline. All liquids would be swept from the line by pigging and all natural gas in the line would be
blown-down to the existing flare at the Chevron Central Production Facility or to a temporary flare at
the Origin Facility or other location and combusted. Options for safe, cost-effective and efficient blow-
down are currently being considered. A CDPHE Air Permit may be required depending on the option
selected. The pipeline would then be isolated from production systems and abandoned in place until
such time as production volumes warrant re-commissioning.
8 Project Access / Traffic Impacts
All pipe, materials, and construction personnel for the project would access the project as follows:
From Grand Junction/Utah/New Mexico
1. Enter Garfield County on I-70 East from Grand Junction, Colorado
2. From I-70 in Rifle, Colorado, proceed north on State Highway 13 approximately 18 miles to Rio
Blanco County Road 5 (Piceance Creek Road).
3. Turn west on Piceance Creek Road approximately 20 miles to the private MTW Ranch Road.
4. Proceed south on MTW Ranch Road approximately 20 miles to the Chevron Sales Delivery Facility
located in Section 3, T5S, R97W, 6th PM, Garfield County, Colorado.
5. From the Delivery Facility, the pipeline ROW would extend in a southwesterly direction for an
additional 6.8 miles where it would tie into the 30-inch pipeline at Section 31, T5S, 98W, 6th pm,
Garfield County, Colorado.

From Rangely
1. Travel east on State Highway 64 approximately 39 miles to Piceance Creek Road.
2. Turn south on Piceance Creek road and travel approximately 25 miles to the private MTW
Ranch Road.
3. Proceed south on MTW Ranch Road approximately 20 miles to the Chevron Sales Delivery
Facility located in Section 3, T5S, R97W, 6th PM, Garfield County, Colorado.
4. From the Delivery Facility, the pipeline ROW would extend in a southwesterly direction for an
additional 6.8 miles where it would tie into the 30-inch pipeline at Section 31, T5S, 98W, 6th
pm, Garfield County, Colorado.
Reference the attached Vicinity Map, drawing number PBSR-59836EVF-PPL-MAP-0003, for area
overview and access routes.
Table 4 below specifies the estimated number of material and equipment transports needed to
complete the installation of the proposed pipeline and related facilities. The estimated traffic impact is
based on the project occurring according to the proposed schedule, and assumes that all earthmoving
equipment would remain on location until the installations were complete.
Traffic impacts would vary with the level of activity at any given time and would be spread over the total
project duration of approximately 5 months.

An estimated 32 Trucks would be required to deliver pipe to the project. Line pipe would be trucked to
the construction site from Utah by traveling on 1-70 east to Rifle and turning north on State Highway 13
to Rio Blanco County Road 5 and continuing along the private MTW Road to the project area. All pipe
would be unloaded at the time of delivery and strung along the pipeline ditch. Chevron expects all pipe
to be delivered in one trucking effort to minimize the duration of local traffic impacts.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014
13
The pre-fabricated Pig Launcher and Receiver skids would be transported from New Mexico by Truck
and would also access the project by the route described above. The pre-fabricated skids would be
delivered in two (2) loads and offloaded at their respective locations.
An estimated four (4) loads of road base would be purchased from the United Gravel Pit on Rio Blanco
County Road 5 and delivered as needed by dump trucks.
Heavy equipment would be transported by truck to the project site and would remain on location until
no longer needed for their specific task (i.e. excavation, pipelaying, etc.). A total of nine (9) heavy
equipment deliveries are expected. Heavy equipment would likely be transported to the project site
from Crossfire’s yard in the Rangely, Colorado area.
Any overweight/oversized loads would require a permit with Mesa, Garfield, and Rio Blanco Counties.
Oversize/Overweight permitting would be the responsibility of the transporter. All truck traffic would
abide by size and weight restrictions on any and all local roads used to access the project location
Other vehicles traveling to and from the project location would include, water trucks, Hydrovac trucks,
welders, and light duty personnel transport vehicles (i.e. pickup trucks and/or crew vans). These
vehicles would primarily come from the Grand Junction, Rifle, Rangely, and/or Meeker areas.
The majority of the workforce would reside in the area (Rangely, Meeker, Rifle, Grand Junction) and
would return to their respective homes each day. Any workers brought in from out of the area would
likely be housed in local hotels. Carpooling is strongly encouraged to limit exposure to hazards, such as
wildlife and adverse road conditions, and to minimize traffic impacts to local communities and local
roads. Current estimates include up to 20 light-duty truck trips a day to and from the site.
All access roads and pipeline disturbances would be watered as necessary to control fugitive dust. A
Land Development APEN would be required prior to construction as the pipeline disturbance would be
greater than 25 acres. Other dust suppressants may be used to conserve fresh water and only after
consultation and approval by the Garfield County Road & Bridge Department. Posted speed limits in the
project area would be strictly enforced and limited to 15 mph on MTW and Chevron surface, with
posted signs. Project access roads would be maintained as needed through routine grading operations.
No road upgrades are planned in conjunction with the proposed project.
9 Sensitive Area Survey
WestWater Engineering (WWE) conducted a sensitive area survey along the length of the proposed 8-
inch pipeline in July of 2013. Biologists evaluated the project area for potential occurrences of special
status plants and wildlife, raptors, noxious weeds, and potential USACE jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
See attached Chevron North America Exploration and Production, 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline Impact
Analysis: Section 9-103-K-Sensitive Area Survey, WWE 2013 for survey findings.
As mentioned previously, WWE biologists would conduct a spot-check survey to confirm no significant
change in conditions and to verify and/or identify any areas of concern in proximity to the proposed
pipeline route prior to any clearing and grading activities.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014

9.1 Cultural and Paleontological Resources
No Cultural or Paleontological surveys were conducted for the proposed project as previous surveys
conducted on the 30-inch pipeline revealed no historically significant sites, finds, isolates or locations
with potential for scientifically significant fossils, and no such resources were encountered during
construction and excavation at that location. No new finds would be reasonably expected.
Chevron representatives would monitor any excavation in areas that may impact bedrock of the Green
River and Uinta Formations. Should any sensitive resources be discovered during construction and/or
excavation, all work in the area would stop until the find could be evaluated and recorded by a qualified
Archaeologist or Paleontologist as the case may be.
9.2 Waters of the U.S.
Three (3) potential Waters of the U.S. and one potential wetland were identified by WWE along the
proposed and alternative pipeline routes. COE 1 as identified on Figure 1 (map) of the attached
Sensitive Area Survey is the Wiesse Creek crossing discussed previously in Section 6.5 Stream Crossings.
The other streams and potential wetland area would be avoided completely by the 1.9 mile re-route.
9.3 Biological Resources
WestWater (WWE) Engineering Biologists evaluated the proposed project area in July of 2013 for
potential occurrence of special status plants and wildlife, raptors, noxious weeds, and potential USACE
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The attached Chevron North America Exploration and Production, 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline Impact
Analysis: Section 9-103-K-Sensitive Area Survey, WWE 2013 provides a detailed report of findings and
measures recommended to prevent damage to identified biological resources in the project area.
Any new nest sites or other areas of potential concern would be evaluated and measures would be
implemented to protect those areas prior to any clearing and grading activities.
Chevron would adhere to the mitigation measures and best practices recommended by WWE and would
take all precautions necessary to prevent harm to any natural resource. Project personnel would be
required to conduct their operations in a manner that is protective of the natural environment and
construction activities would be monitored over the course of the project to ensure best practices are
being implemented and followed.
10 Weed Management Plan
A survey of noxious weeds was conducted in conjunction with the WWE Sensitive Area Survey in July of
2013. The results of that survey are presented in the attached Chevron North America Exploration and
Production 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan,
WWE 2013. The plan provides a detailed list of identified weeds and outlines management strategies
for the control of noxious weeds.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline
January 20, 2014
15
The 2013 survey indicated widespread noxious weed infestations within existing disturbances in the
project area. Houndstongue is prevalent along the proposed pipeline alignment and other noxious
weed species were identified within the project area. All identified noxious weeds within the proposed
pipeline ROW would be removed during the initial site preparation. Noxious weed controls including a
combination of removal, cultural controls, and revegetation techniques would be integrated into the
pipeline development plan and would be part of the continuing maintenance operations along the
pipeline route.
Chevron would employ the Best Management Practices and integrated weed management strategies
prescribed by WWE in the 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed
Management Plan and the site would be monitored and treated as necessary in an effort to eradicate
and/or control noxious weeds.
11 Revegetation Plan
Chevron assumes responsibility for the reclamation and subsequent monitoring and maintenance of
surface disturbances attributable to the proposed 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline. As mentioned
previously, an estimated 69.48 acres would be disturbed as a result of the proposed project, all of which
would be reclaimed to a safe and stable condition immediately following pipeline installation.
Chevron’s reclamation focus is to establish quality, palatable growth for soil stabilization purposes and
for providing nutritional value for wildlife and livestock; taking into consideration the surrounding native
vegetation, elevation and seasonal precipitation, slope stability, post-disturbance land use and habitat
associations. The native vegetation in and around the project area consists of sagebrush, aspen, and
mountain shrublands and supports a wide variety of wildlife and birds, as well as livestock grazing.
The proposed pipeline route is within existing disturbances resulting from previous pipelines, roads, well
pads and other developments where native vegetation has already been cleared and revegetated with
perennial grasses. Chevron’s primary goal in most cases is to establish a quality sod formed root base,
which is not always achievable, particularly in areas where previous construction practices for the
management of soils are unknown. For this reason bunch grasses and some forbs would be
incorporated into the preferred seed mix to stabilize the soils and allow the native forbs and brush
species to naturally re-establish over time.
The excavation would be backfilled with native soils, exercising care in the segregation of soil horizons,
and graded to the approximate original contours. Topsoil would be spread back over the disturbed
areas and left in a roughened state to reduce potential for stormwater run-off, capture and retain
moisture from rainfall and snow melt, and to facilitate self-generating vegetative growth. In some
areas, topsoil amendments may be needed to compensate for a loss of topsoil integrity due to organic
soils being mixed with subsurface soils in previous site construction activities.
Water management techniques would be employed to slow stormwater velocity and/or to minimize
potential for run-on and soil erosion. These may include, but are not limited to, water bars, pocking,
and/or diversion. Sediment retention structures would be installed prior to construction and
maintained through stabilization to prevent sediment transport offsite.
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan
Chevron 8-Inch Interim Sales Pipeline

Areas of heavy livestock grazing may be fenced to exclude cattle and allow planted material the
opportunity to establish and become capable of renewing itself.
The proposed project has potential to facilitate the spread of noxious weeds and significant effort would
be undertaken to remove existing infestations and to establish healthy, vigorous vegetative cover to
control the growth and spread of noxious weeds. Employing effective construction practices and cultural
controls would facilitate the removal existing infestations, limit the introduction of noxious weeds from
other areas, and would contribute to the success of revegetation efforts.
Chevron works with numerous industry companies, environmental consultant firms, County agencies
(including Garfield County), CDPW, agricultural lessees, adjacent landowners, etc. on developing
desirable seed mixes and best practices for successful reclamation. The best practices derived from this
ongoing effort, as well as the WWE recommendations for revegetation, as generally described in the
attached 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan,
would be incorporated into the final reclamation planning for the proposed project.
Disturbed areas would be seeded using a certified weed-free, site-appropriate seed mix selected in
consultation with the Chevron Land Manager and other qualified reclamation contractors. Desired seed
Mix, application rates, planting schedule, planting methods would be determined prior to the start of
construction based on specific local factors such as soil condition, seasonal timing, and post-disturbance
land use at any particular area along the proposed route. Reclamation and revegetation planning is
currently in progress.
Following reclamation, the site would be monitored on a regular basis to ensure erosion controls were
maintained and functioning, and to identify and treat any weed infestations.
Garfield County still holds the re-vegetation bond for the 30-inch pipeline ROW (Bond No. 6452223) in
the amount of $ 275,750.00. About 4.9 miles of this ROW would be re-disturbed as a result of the
proposed project; the remaining 3.9 miles (about 2 miles from Origin to top of Sleepy Ridge, 1.9 miles
from Trail Ridge Road to the Chevron Delivery Facility) are stabilized and revegetated and would not be
affected by the proposed pipeline construction.

INTRODUCTION
Project Description
At the request of Chevron North America Exploration and Production (Chevron), WestWater Engineering
(WestWater) has conducted a sensitive areas survey and report for the proposed 8-inch Interim Sales
Pipeline and potential Trail Ridge Re-Route alternative that would be located on Chevron’s privately
owned lands in Garfield County, Colorado. The proposed project would include a buried pipeline from
the Clear Creek Valley continuing northward approximately 7.4 miles, where it would link with existing
pipeline infrastructure. This document reports the results and analysis of the findings that are pertinent to
Section 9 of the Garfield County Land Use Resolution 2008 (as amended) that apply to this project.
The project would be located on private lands in Sections 3, 4, 9, 16, 17, 20, 29, 30, and 31, Township 5
South (T5S), Range 97 West (R97W) and Section 36, T5S, R98W, 6th Principal Meridian (Figure 1). The
potential Trail Ridge Re-route alternative would occur in Sections 9 and 16 T5S, R97W. Access to the
project area is available via Garfield County Roads 204 (Roan Creek Road) and 211 (Clear Creek Road).
The current primary land uses of the area include wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, and natural resource
development.
Survey Methods
The project area was evaluated for the potential occurrence of special status plants and wildlife, raptors,
noxious weeds, and potential Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. by WestWater
biologists on June 17-20, 2013. Vegetation types were determined through aerial photography and on-the-
ground assessments. Plant species identification was aided by using pertinent published field guides
(Kershaw et al. 1998, Spackman et al. 1997, Weber and Wittmann 2012, Whitson et al. 2001, CWMA
2007). Mapped soil types, as published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), were reviewed to determine the soil types and expected natural
vegetation characteristics at the project site (NRCS 2013). Data locations were recorded using handheld
Global Positioning System (GPS) units (Datum: NAD83, Zone 12) and photographs were taken of the
habitat, terrain, and biological features found during the survey.
Surveys for threatened and endangered plant species were conducted within suitable habitats in
conjunction with noxious weed and wildlife surveys. Noxious weed infestations within 30 meters of
project features were documented and are reported in an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed
Management Plan that was prepared for this project (WestWater 2013).
Threatened and endangered wildlife surveys and raptor nest surveys were conducted in suitable habitats
for these species within 0.25 miles of project features. Biologists selected pedestrian routes that would
ensure adequate coverage of all suitable potential raptor nest trees and would provide a clear view of all
potential cliff nest sites. Woodland nesting habitat was surveyed at approximately 50 meter intervals
while visually inspecting trees for nests and surveys were aided by using call playback methodology
(Iverson and Fuller 1991; Kennedy and Stahlecker 1993; Mosher and Fuller 1996; Mosher et. al. 1990;
Reynolds et. al. 1992) using electronic digital game calls. Cliff nesting raptor habitat was searched for
raptor nests using binoculars and spotting scopes.
SECTION 9-103-K – SENSITIVE AREAS
WATERS OF THE U.S. – Army Corps of Engineers
Waters of the U.S. (WoUS) include wetlands and drainages under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (COE). Perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams and drainages, as indicated on U.S.
Geological Survey mapping, are considered WoUS if they exhibit evidence of flow (i.e. ordinary high
water mark) and are hydrologically connected to a perennial stream. In addition to hydrology, a
jurisdictional wetland will also demonstrate the unique soil and vegetation characteristics that result from
inundation or saturation.
WestWater Engineering Page 2 of 15 July 2013
WestWater biologists surveyed the area for aquatic resources including wetlands and WoUS crossings
that would fall under the jurisdiction of the COE in conjunction with other surveys that were conducted
for this report.
Three potential WoUS locations and one potential wetland would be affected by the project as analyzed
for this report (Table 1; Figure 1).

Recommendations
No wetland delineation was conducted during the survey. Fringe wetlands along COE-1 and the area
surrounding the point labeled Wet-1 on Figure 1 will likely require delineations for permitting with the
COE. For construction that will occur within a dry channel demonstrating an ordinary high water mark,
consultation with the COE would be appropriate to determine jurisdictional status and permitting
requirements.
VEGETATION
The project would take place partially within existing disturbances resulting from an existing pipeline
right-of-way and other developments. The remaining native vegetation surrounding the project consists of
sagebrush, aspen, and mountain shrublands. Plant species observed in the area are provided in Table 2.

Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Plant Species
No threatened plant species were detected during the survey and no threatened, endangered, or candidate
plant species listed in Garfield County (Table 3) would be expected to be affected by the project (USFWS
2013a). A review of the available literature, evaluation of soils and terrain at project site, and previous
WestWater surveys indicated that suitable habitat exists in or near the project area for Parachute
beardtongue and Ute ladies’-tresses though none were detected and no known populations of these plants
exist nearby.

County.

Parachute penstemon Penstemon debilis Threatened
Ute ladies’-tresses orchid Spiranthes diluvialis Threatened
Noxious Weeds
Weed species listed by the State of Colorado (2005) detected in the project area include bull thistle
(Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), common burdock
(Arctium minus), common mullein (Verbascum thapsus), houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale), and
musk thistle (Carduus nutans). Canada thistle, common burdock, houndstongue, and musk thistle are
listed weeds in Garfield County (Garfield County 2013). Noxious weed locations, general control
techniques, and revegetation recommendations are reported in an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious
Weed Management Plan that was prepared for this project (WestWater 2013).
Mitigation and minimizing impacts – The plan to locate the pipeline in an existing pipeline corridor
where native vegetation has been cleared for other developments will serve to reduce cumulative loss and
WestWater Engineering Page 4 of 15 July 2013
fragmentation of native vegetation and is a good mitigation technique. The best method to mitigate the
loss of native vegetation is to increase the availability of native forage in the form of grasses, forbs, and
shrubs by reclaiming and reseeding the area after it is no longer needed.
Revegetation with native species would provide the greatest benefit for wildlife. An integrated vegetation
and noxious weed management plan has been developed for this project (WestWater 2013), which
includes recommendations for vegetation management applicable to this project. The development and
implementation of a reclamation plan would provide appropriate mitigation.
WILDLIFE
Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Wildlife Species
No threatened, endangered, or sensitive wildlife species listed in Garfield County (Table 4) were observed
in the project area (USFWS 2013a).
Table 4. Federally listed Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate Wildlife Species for Garfield
County.
Common Name Scientific Name Status

Mexican spotted owl Strix occidentalis lucida Threatened
Razorback sucker Xyrauchen texanus Endangered

* Recent genetic studies indicate that pure greenback cutthroat trout likely do not exist in western Colorado. Until the review and
rulemaking process is complete, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recommending that “Lineage GB” cutthroat trout be
managed as greenback cutthroat (USFWS 2012)
The project area is within a mapped sage-grouse production area by the Natural Diversity Information
System (NDIS) maintained by CPW (CPW 2013a) (Figure 2). Suitable habitat for Greater Sage-grouse
exists in the project area and this species may occur, although no sign was observed despite a directed
survey effort.
Greater Sage-grouse typically occur in large, contiguous sagebrush habitat on the Roan Plateau and the
species is a candidate for listing under the ESA. Lek sites (breeding/strutting grounds) are important
features in sage-grouse habitat and research by CPW indicates that approximately 80 percent of sage-
grouse nesting takes place in suitable habitats within four miles of the lek on which they were bred
(Colorado Greater Sage-grouse Steering Committee 2008). There are several known leks within four
miles of the project (CPW 2013a).
Large areas of more suitable habitat exist north of the project area as the habitat transitions from
serviceberry dominated shrublands to sagebrush dominated shrublands. No sage-grouse sign was
observed during survey efforts.
Clear Creek drains to Roan Creek and eventually the Colorado River within or above designated critical
habitat for Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker, bonytail, and humpback chub. Increased
sedimentation, introduction of pollutants, or water depletions for hydrostatic testing of a pipeline could
affect aquatic habitats downstream.
Habitat conditions are not appropriate for the remaining species in Table 4.

Raptors
At least fourteen raptor species could nest in the project area (Table 5). Nesting season for raptor species
in this area takes place begins in January for eagles and continues through mid-August for some hawks.
The most common raptor species observed in the area include American Kestrel, Cooper’s Hawk, Golden
Eagle, Great Horned Owl, and Red-tailed Hawk.

Twenty-two raptor nests were documented in the project area (Figure 3). Of these, five were occupied
and fifteen were unoccupied. Two nests that were detected in previous surveys were either not found or
were determined to have been destroyed by natural causes. No raptor nests would be removed by the
project. Numerous Black-billed Magpie nests were located within the survey area and were not
individually documented; these nests could potentially be used for nesting by Long-eared Owls, but no
owl sign was detected near these nests. Raptor nest information for nests detected in the project area are
provided in Table 6.

Long-term impacts resulting from project development would likely be low because no nests are directly
affected, there would be a minimal amount of new surface disturbance, the area currently experiences
significant human activity, and there is a large amount of high quality nesting habitat in the area. Indirect
effects could occur if construction takes place during the active nesting season in cases where no
topographical, elevational, or vegetative screen exists.
Projects consisting of linear features such as pipelines are oftentimes less disruptive to nesting raptors
than a project such as a well pad or drilling operation where activities occur in a localized area over a
longer time frame. Nests within 0.125-miles of linear projects are the most likely to be affected. The
occupied RTHA-9 nest is the only nest within 0.076-miles of the proposed 8-inch interim sales pipeline,
and this nest location has few mitigating factors. If the proposed Trail Ridge re-route is selected, then this
nest would be mostly screened from the project by terrain, elevation, and vegetation and at a distance of
0.238-miles from the project.
In cases where raptor nests exist near a project and no mitigating factors are present, every effort should
be made to apply timing and buffer distance limitations to reduce indirect affects (Table 7). These
recommendations are based on Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) recommendations (Craig 2002 and
Klute 2008) and literature review of nesting season timing for raptors in the region (Andrews and Righter
1992, Kingery 1998, Poole 2012, Righter et. al. 2004).

Birds of Conservation Concern, Migratory, and Non-migratory Birds (other than raptors)
WestWater biologists evaluated the project area for bird species that could be affected by the project.
Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) have been identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for priority conservation management in an attempt to prevent or remove the need to list
additional species under the Endangered Species Act (USFWS 2013b). The survey was conducted prior to
the arrival of most neo-tropical migrant bird species; therefore a thorough literature review was conducted
to identify BCC species with potential to occur in the project area (Table 8) (Andrews & Righter 1992,
Kingery 1998, Poole 2012, Righter et al 2004).

* BLM sensitive species (BLM 2009)
Suitable nesting habitat for migratory bird species, including BCC species, would be directly affected by
the project. Most non-game bird species and their nests are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
WestWater Engineering Page 8 of 15 July 2013
(16 U.S.C. 703-712; Ch. 128; July 13, 1918; 40 Stat. 755) and destruction of occupied nests could be
considered a “take” resulting in a violation.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidance indicates that developments can affect nesting migratory birds
within 100-feet of a project and indirect effects related to the project could include the disruption of
nesting and brood rearing activities if project construction occurs during the nesting season.
To reduce negative effects, vegetation removal should occur outside of the nesting season, which is
generally considered to occur between May 15 and July 15 for the species in this area. If vegetation
clearing occurs prior to or after nesting season, most affected birds will relocate to alternate sites.
Reducing the amount of vegetation removed would also help mitigate effects of lost nesting habitat.
American Elk and Mule Deer
The project would be located within an elk production area and winter concentration area (NDIS 2013)
(Figures 4). The varied elevation of project area provides valuable food and cover for deer and elk nearly
year-round. Much of the project area has been cleared of native vegetation for installation of a previous
pipeline corridor and has been revegetated with mostly perennial grasses. The effects of additional
vegetation removal necessary for the project are likely to be small once revegetation and reclamation have
occurred. The loss of forage and cover for big game would be temporary and because the pipeline would
be along an existing corridor, the project would not further fragment existing habitat. Any necessary
fencing should be constructed consistent with published standards that reduce impacts to big game
(Hanophy 2009).
Deer and elk populations have become somewhat habituated to human activity in the area and indirect
impacts from construction of this project would be low. No migration corridors will be affected. Vehicle
speeds and traffic volumes related to this project are likely to be low and vehicle related mortality is
unlikely.
Black Bear and Mountain Lion
CPW-NDIS mapping shows the site to be within overall ranges for black bear and mountain lion (NDIS
2013). Affects to mountain lion are unlikely. Potential bear encounters could occur if garbage or food is
not properly managed during construction. Human-black bear interactions sometimes result in the
euthanasia of offending bears by the CPW and would be the most conceivable potential impact on either
species. All garbage and food items should be stored in bear-proof receptacles and/or removed from the
site on a daily basis to prevent attracting bears to the site to prevent interactions that result in euthanasia
of problem bears.
Small Mammals
Common small mammal species in the project area include coyote (Canis latrans) and cottontail
(Sylvilagus spp.). Northern pocket gophers (Thamomys talpoides) are known to occur in area and a
multitude of additional rodent species may occur (Fitzgerald et. al. 2011). Townsend’s big-eared bat
(State species of concern and BLM sensitive – Corynorhinus townsendii pallescens) and fringed myotis
(BLM sensitive – Myotis thysanoides) and several other bat species may occupy the area seasonally, but
no bats were observed.
Reptiles
Midget faded rattlesnake (State species of concern and BLM sensitive – Crotalus viridis concolor) has
been observed in the Clear Creek valley and may exist in the project area. Other species of reptiles within
the project area may include western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans), gopher (bull) snake
(Pituophis catenifer sayi), side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana), plateau striped whiptail
(Cnemidophorus velox), sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus), tree lizard (Urosaurus ornatus), and
western whiptail (Cnemidophorus tigris), among others (Hammerson 1999).

WestWater Engineering Page 9 of 15 July 2013
Aquatic Species
No aquatic features that provide suitable habitat for fish were observed in the project area. There is
potential that aquatic wildlife downstream could be affected by water depletions associated with
hydrostatic testing of the pipeline, if that practice is utilized. Minimizing water use during drier periods of
the year would help mitigate these effects.
No amphibians were observed during the survey, but it is possible that Northern leopard frog (State
species of concern and BLM sensitive – Rana pipiens), Great Basin spadefoot (BLM sensitive – Spea
intermontana), and tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) may occupy suitable habitats in the area
(Hammerson 1999).
Summary of Effects and Recommendations
Native vegetation/T&E plants: No threatened or endangered species of plants would be affected by the
project. Vegetation within previously disturbed areas within the project footprint is composed of a mix of
native and non-native perennial grasses. An additional area of native vegetation would be cleared for
construction and revegetated upon completion. Reseeding with native grasses would be beneficial.
Noxious Weeds: Several noxious weed species listed by the State of Colorado and Garfield County were
present in the project area. Infestation locations, general control techniques, and revegetation
recommendations are reported in an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan that was
prepared for this project (WestWater 2013).
T&E wildlife: No threatened or endangered wildlife species were detected in the project area. The project
is within a CPW mapped production area for one “candidate” species for listing under the ESA, Greater
Sage-grouse. No sage-grouse sign was detected during surveys and habitat conditions for this species
improve considerably to the north of the project area. This project is located within and adjacent to a
previous disturbance that has been re-vegetated and additional affects from this project would be minimal.
Forage and cover for wildlife and habitat fragmentation: The long-term effects of vegetation removal
necessary for the project are likely to be minimal once revegetation and reclamation have occurred. The
pipeline would be along an existing corridor and would not further fragment existing habitat. Suitable
nesting habitat for birds would be directly affected by the project. To reduce negative effects, vegetation
removal should occur outside of the nesting season and should include as little native vegetation as
possible.
Big game migration corridors: No migration corridors would be affected. Big game species are not
restricted to specific movement corridors in this area and the presence of this pipeline will not create a
barrier. Fencing, if necessary, could alter daily big game movements on a small scale and could pose a
hazard to animals if not built with wildlife in mind.
Elk calving areas and winter range: Much of the project takes place within elk calving areas or winter
ranges. Minimize activity and disturbance in sensitive wildlife areas during calving season (May-June)
and big game winter ranges during winter months (December - April).
Open trenches: Trenches or pits left open during construction can present a dangerous obstacle for
wildlife. Temporary fencing should be erected to prevent wildlife from falling into the trench. Regularly
spaced earthen ramps would enable animals that do enter the trench to escape.
Direct affects from construction and operation: Direct removal of migratory bird nests or disruption of
nesting and brood rearing activities are possible if project construction occurs during the nesting season.
Vehicle speeds and traffic volumes related to this project are likely to be low and significant vehicle
related mortality connected to this project is unlikely.
Indirect effects from construction and operation of the pipeline: Wildlife in the project area has
become somewhat habituated to human activity and indirect impacts from construction of this project
WestWater Engineering Page 10 of 15 July 2013
would be low. Water depletions from pumping can affect downstream aquatic wildlife. The presence of
construction personnel and noise has a low potential to affect wildlife in a negative manner, since the
construction activities would be short in duration and occur adjacent to and within an area of considerable
human activity.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
At the request of Chevron North America Exploration and Production (Chevron), WestWater Engineering
(WestWater) has prepared an Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan for the
proposed 8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline and potential Trail Ridge Re-Route alternative that would be
located on Chevron’s privately owned lands in Garfield County, Colorado. The proposed project would
include a buried pipeline from the Clear Creek Valley continuing northward approximately 7.4 miles,
where it would link with existing pipeline infrastructure. This document reports the results and analysis of
the findings that are pertinent to Section 9 of the Garfield County Land Use Resolution 2008 (as
amended) that apply to this project.
The project would be located on private lands in Sections 3, 4, 9, 16, 17, 20, 29, 30, and 31, Township 5
South (T5S), Range 97 West (R97W) and Section 36, T5S, R98W, 6th Principal Meridian (Figure 1). The
potential Trail Ridge Re-route alternative would occur in Sections 9 and 16 T5S, R97W. Access to the
project area is available via Garfield County Roads 204 (Roan Creek Road) and 211 (Clear Creek Road).
The current primary land uses of the area include wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, and natural resource
development.
1.2 General Survey Information
Pedestrian surveys of the project area were conducted by WestWater biologists on June 17-20, 2013,
which is within the active growing season for noxious weed species that occur in the project area.
Identification of plant species was aided by using pertinent published field guides (Whitson et al. 2001,
CWMA 2007, Kershaw et al. 1998, Weber and Wittmann 2012). Noxious weed locations were recorded
with the aid of handheld global positioning system (GPS) receivers using NAD83 map datum, with all
coordinate locations based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system in Zone 12.
Mapped soil types, as published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), were reviewed to determine the soil types and vegetation
characteristics at the project site (NRCS 2013).
2.0 LANDSCAPE SETTING
2.1 Terrain
The proposed pipeline traverses a variety of terrain, including the arid valley of Clear Creek, the steep
adjoining slopes, and then milder terrain on top of the Roan Plateau. Elevation in the project area is
approximately 6,500 to 8,700 feet.
2.2 Vegetation
The project would take place partially within existing disturbances resulting from an existing pipeline
right-of-way and other developments. The remaining native vegetation surrounding the project consists of
sagebrush, aspen, and mountain shrublands. Plant species observed in the area are provided in Table 2.

3.0 NOXIOUS WEEDS
3.1 Introduction to Noxious Weeds
Most noxious weed species in Colorado were introduced, mostly from Eurasia, either unintentionally or
as ornamentals that established wild populations. These plants compete aggressively with native
vegetation and tend to spread quickly because the environmental factors that normally control them are
absent. Disturbed soils, altered native vegetation communities, and areas with increased soil moisture
often create prime conditions for weed infestations. The primary vectors that spread noxious weeds
include humans, animals, water, and wind.
The Colorado Noxious Weed Act (State of Colorado 2005) requires local governing bodies to develop
noxious weed management plans. Both the State of Colorado and Garfield County maintain a list of
plants that are considered to be noxious weeds. The State of Colorado noxious weed list segregates
noxious weed species based by priority for control:
1. List A species must be eradicated whenever detected.
WestWater Engineering Page 3 of 9 July 2013
2. List B species spread should be halted; may be designated for eradication in some counties.
3. List C species are widespread and the State will assist local jurisdictions which choose to manage
those weeds.
The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has compiled a list of 21 plants from the State list considered
to be noxious weeds within the county (Appendix A). The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has
duties to:
1. Develop a noxious weed list;
2. Develop a weed management plan for designated noxious weeds; and,
3. Recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that identified landowners submit an
integrated weed management plan for their properties (Garfield County 2002).
3.2 Observations
Noxious weeds observed in the project area include bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle
(Cirsium arvense), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), common burdock (Arctium minus), common mullein
(Verbascum thapsus), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale),
and musk thistle (Carduus nutans) (Figure 1). Canada thistle, common burdock, houndstongue, and musk
thistle are listed weeds in Garfield County (Garfield County 2013).
Noxious weeds are widespread within existing disturbances, more heavily in areas with additional
moisture such as north facing slopes and in drainages. Houndstongue is nearly continuous along the
proposed alignment and into the surrounding areas; the infestation of this weed likely predates the
existing pipeline disturbance. Shapefiles of noxious weed locations are available from WestWater upon
request.
In areas where soil disturbances have created growing conditions that favor non-native vegetation, several
unlisted nuisance weed species are present. These plants can negate revegetation efforts and cause
financial losses due to decreased seeding success and associated costs of replanting. The presence of
these plants creates increased competition for resources and can negatively affect desirable native plant
species. Plants in this category observed or known to exist in the project area include kochia (Bassia
scoparia), Russian thistle (Salsola spp.), field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense), flixweed (Descurania
sophia) and yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis).
3.3 Integrated Weed Management
Control of invasive species is a difficult task and requires intensive on-going control measures. Care
must be taken to avoid negatively impacting desirable plant communities and inviting infestation by other
pioneer invaders. Weed management is best achieved by employing varied methods over several growing
seasons, including inventory (surveys), direct treatments, prevention through best management practices,
monitoring of treatment efficacy, and subsequent detection efforts. Weed management is often limited to
controlling existing infestations and prevention of further infestations, rather than eradication, but through
effective weed management practices eradication can be possible in small to medium sized weed
populations.
Assessment of the existence and extent of noxious weeds in an area is essential for the development of an
integrated weed management plan. This report provides an initial assessment of the occurrence of
noxious weeds for the project area. In order to continue effective management of noxious weeds, further
inventory and analysis is necessary to 1) determine the effectiveness of the past treatment strategies; 2)
modify the treatment plan, if necessary; and 3) detect new infestations early, which would result in more
economical and effective treatments.
3.4 Prevention of Noxious Weed Infestations
WestWater Engineering Page 4 of 9 July 2013
Weed management can be costly, and heavy infestations may exceed the economic threshold for practical
treatment. Prevention is an especially valuable and economical strategy for noxious weed management.
Several simple practices should be employed to prevent weed infestations. The following practices will
prevent infestation and thereby reduce costs associated with noxious weed control:
Prior to delivery to the site, all equipment and vehicles, including maintenance vehicles, should
be thoroughly cleaned of soils from previous sites which may be contaminated with noxious
weeds.
If working in sites with weed-seed contaminated soil, equipment should be cleaned of potentially
seed-bearing soils and vegetative debris at the infested area prior to moving to uncontaminated
terrain.
Avoid driving vehicles through areas where weed infestations exist.
Use of weed seed free materials such as mulch and seed.
3.5 Treatment and Control of Noxious Weed Infestations
The treatment method and timing will be determined by Chevron and their contracted licensed pesticide
applicators. The recommendations provided in this report will be considered when developing annual
treatment plans. General control methods for the species detected in the project area are provided for
reference in Table 2.

3.6 Recommended Treatment Strategies
The following treatment strategies are presented for reference. It is important to know whether the weed
species being managed is an annual, biennial, or perennial to select strategies that effectively control and
eliminate the target. Treatment strategies vary depending on plant type, which are summarized in Tables
3 and 4. Herbicides should not always be the first treatment of choice when other methods can be
effectively employed.
Table 3. Treatment Strategies for Annual and Biennial Noxious Weeds
Target: Prevent Seed Production
1. Hand grub (pull), hoe, till, cultivate in rosette stage and before flowering or seed maturity. If flowers
or seeds develop, cut and bag seed heads.
2. Cut roots with a spade 2”-3” below soil level.
3. Treat with herbicide in seedling, rosette or bolting stage, before flowering.
4. Mow biennials after bolting stage but before seed set. Mowing annuals will not prevent flowering but
can reduce total seed production.
(Sirota 2004)
Table 4. Treatment Strategies for Perennials
Target: Deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed production
1. Allow plants to expend as much energy from root system as possible. Do not treat when first
emerging in spring but allow growth to bud/bloom stage. If seeds develop cut and bag if possible.
2. Herbicide treatment at bud to bloom stage or in the fall (recommended after August 15 when natural
precipitation is present). In the fall plants draw nutrients into the roots for winter storage. Herbicides
will be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time due to translocation of nutrients to roots
rather than leaves. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time another season of seed
production is not as important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in fall (after
middle August) will kill the following year’s shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time.
3. Mowing usually is not recommended because the plants will flower anyway, rather, seed production
should be reduced. Many studies have shown that mowing perennials and spraying the regrowth is
not as effective as spraying without mowing. Effect of mowing is species dependent therefore it is
imperative to know the species and its basic biology. Timing of application must be done when
biologically appropriate, which is not necessarily convenient.
4. Tillage may or may not be effective or practical. Most perennial roots can sprout from pieces only 0.5
inch – 1.0 inch long. Clean machinery thoroughly before leaving the weed patch.
WestWater Engineering Page 6 of 9 July 2013
Table 4. Treatment Strategies for Perennials
Target: Deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed production
5. Hand pulling is generally not recommended for perennial species unless you know the plants are
seedlings and not established plants. Hand pulling can be effective on small patches but is very labor
intensive because it must be done repeatedly.
(Sirota 2004)
Some weeds, particularly annuals and biennials, can develop resistance to herbicides. The ability to
quickly develop immunity to herbicides, especially when they are used incorrectly, makes it imperative to
use the proper chemicals at the correct time in the specified concentration according to the product label.
Excessive application, either in frequency or concentration, can result in top kill without significantly
affecting the root system. Repeated excessive applications may result in resistant phenotypes.
3.7 Noxious Weed Management – Best Management Practices
Construction: The following practices should be adopted for any construction project to reduce the costs
of noxious weed control and aid in prevention efforts. The practices include:
Prior to delivery to the site, equipment should be cleaned of soils remaining from previous
construction sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds.
Equipment and material handling should be done on established sites to reduce the area and
extent of soil compaction.
In all cases, temporary disturbance should be kept to an absolute minimum.
Top soil, where present, should be segregated from deeper soils and replaced as top soil on the
final grade, a process known as live topsoil handling.
If stored longer than one growing season, topsoil stockpiles should be seeded with non-invasive
sterile hybrid grasses.
Wetland vegetation, if encountered, should be live handled like sod, temporarily watered if
necessary, and placed over excavated sub-soil relative to the position from which the wetland sod
was removed.
Cut-off collars should be placed on all wetland and stream crossings to prevent back washing
(seed vector) and to ensure that soil moisture conditions are not impacted after construction so
that native plants can re-establish from the existing seed bank.
If working in weed infested sites, equipment should be cleaned of potentially seed-bearing soils
and vegetative debris prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain.
After construction, disturbed areas outside the footprint of the development should be
immediately reseeded with an appropriate seed mix.
Herbicides: Many of the listed noxious weed species in Colorado can be controlled with commercially
available herbicides. Annual and biennial weeds are best controlled at the pre-bud stage after germination
or in the spring of the second year. Selective herbicides are recommended to minimize damage to
desirable grass species.
It is important that applicators adhere to concentrations specified on herbicide containers. Herbicides
generally do not work better at higher concentrations. Herbicide failures are frequently related to high
concentrations that result in top kill before the active ingredient can be transported to the roots through
the nutrient translocation process. If directed on the herbicide label, a surfactant or other adjuvant should
be added to the tank.
WestWater Engineering Page 7 of 9 July 2013
Grazing: In the event grazing is allowed in the project area, it should be deferred in reclaimed areas until
revegetation of desirable species has been successfully established and seeded plants have had
opportunity to reproduce.
Monitoring: Areas where noxious weed infestations are identified and treated should be inspected over
time to ensure that control methods are working to reduce and suppress the identified infestation. The
sites should be monitored until the infestations are eliminated. These inspections can then be used to
prioritize future weed control efforts.
3.8 Commercial Applicator Recommendations
A certified commercial pesticide applicator licensed in rangeland and/or right-of-way/industrial weed
control (depending on site characteristics) is a necessary choice for herbicide control efforts. An
applicator has the full range of knowledge, skills, equipment, and experience desired when dealing with
tough noxious weeds. In addition, the purchase and use of restricted use herbicides requires a Colorado
pesticide applicator license.
4.0 REVEGETATION – RECLAMATION
Successful reclamation of the project area is dependent upon soil type and texture, slope gradient and
aspect, proper weed control, available water, and revegetation with suitable plant species. Site-specific
reclamation plans utilizing native species should be developed with a qualified reclamation contractor.
Reclamation services using multiple seed bin range drills and specialized equipment is available and
should be used for reclamation seeding projects.
In areas with slope greater than three percent or where laminar flows from runoff could affect reseeding
success, imprinting of the seed bed is recommended. Imprinting can be in the form of dozer tracks or
furrows perpendicular to the direction of slope. When utilizing hydro-seeding followed by mulching,
imprinting should be done prior to seeding unless the mulch is to be crimped into the soil surface. If
broadcast seeding and harrowing, imprinting should be done as part of the harrowing. Furrowing can be
done by several methods, the most simple of which is to drill seed perpendicular to the direction of slope
in a prepared bed. Other simple imprinting methods include deep hand raking and harrowing, always
perpendicular to the direction of slope.
A potentially beneficial alternative method to enhance reclamation success, particularly where there is
poor or destroyed topsoil, is the application of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These
fungi, mostly of the genus Glomus, are symbiotic with about 80 percent of all vegetation. Endo-
mycorrhizal fungi are associated mostly with grasses and forbs and could be helpful in reclamation. In
symbiosis, the fungi can increase water and nutrient transfer capacity of the host root system (Barrow and
McCaslin 1995). Over-the-counter commercial products are available, and the best products should
contain more than one fungus species.
Compacted soils respond well to fossilized humic substances and by-products called humates. These
humates, including humic and fulvic acids and humin were formed from pre-historic plant and animal
deposits and can benefit reclamation efforts on compacted soils when applied as directed.

Chevron Piceance Basin Natural Gas Development Program
Garfield County Pipeline Development Plan Permit Application
8-inch Interim Sales Pipeline
Emergency Response Plan
Piceance Interim Sales Line
Project HES Plan
Revision 0
Date: October 15, 2013
This document serves as the Piceance Interim Sales Line Project Safety Plan – to communicate the Chevron Safety
Philosophy and establish the Project Contractor Safety Plan.
The objective of the Project Safety Plan is to proactively manage the project execution to enable Incident Free
Operations (IFO).
Project Overview:
The existing Piceance 30-inch sales line is oversized due to a business plan decision to suspend drilling in the Skinner
Ridge field. A 2012 study determined the 30-inch sales line is the limiting factor of the filed due to the need for
maintenance pigging to sweep liquid accumulations. Several alternatives were evaluated with the best alternative
identified as construction of a new 8-inch interim sales line. Detailed engineering determined the 30-inch pipeline
routed up the escarpment near the origin could be left in service and the new 8-inch pipeline could run from the top of
the escarpment to the existing delivery station.
The project consists of installation of approximately 6.8 miles of NPS 8-inch standard wall pipe following the route of the
existing 30-inch sales line from the top of the escarpment above the Chevron Central Production Facility to the existing
30-inch delivery station. A 1.9 miles route deviation will allow a significant hill and jurisdictional stream crossing to be
avoided. The facility work includes installation of a combination, remote automated multi-pig launcher skid and an
enclosed pig receiver skid.
Chevron Safety Philosophy:
Objective: Project to be completed “Incident Free”
As part of the Chevron Way, Chevron expects every employee and contractor working for the company to:
• Strive for incident-free operations.
• Manage risks to prevent injury to personnel, damage to the environment, and damage to equipment.
• Identify hazards and develop procedures to mitigate the hazards.
All of the contractors selected to participate in this project must comply with all of the following requirements:
• Contractor will notify Project Manager, prior to start of project, if contractor intends to have Short Service
Employees (SSE) included in the crews. If contractor crews contain SSEs, then the following steps must occur:
1. Chevron SSE questionnaire must be completed, submitted, and approved.
2. SSE must be easily recognized by all on location (i.e. orange hard hat).
3. A mentor for the SSE must be identified and assigned to SSE.
4. SSE must complete the SafeLandUSA training program and have a class completion card on his/her
person at all times or admittance to work site will be denied.
5. SSE must complete the Chevron Skinner Ridge Specific Safety Orientation.
6. SSE percent of crew must not exceed 20% of the total crew, as per the Chevron SSE policy.
• The following key processes, will help achieve “Incident Free Operation” during the project:
1. All workers will have completed the SafeLandUSA training program and have their completion card on
his/her person at all times or admittance to work site will be denied.
2. All workers will have completed the Chevron Skinner Ridge Site Specific Orientation.
3. All workers will have knowledge of the Chevron Managing Safe Work – Safe Work Practices.
4. All workers will have received and have knowledge of the MCBU - Contractor Safety Handbook (Red
Book).
5. Work will be conducted as required by Chevron’s Tenets of Operation and Think Incident Free programs.
6. All workers will participate in a Behavior Based Observation process.
7. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) will be prepared and reviewed, by all affected personnel, for every task that is
undertaken. JSAs will be a “joint” effort by all crew members and supervisors.
8. JSAs will be reviewed mid-day to ensure that the JSA is being followed as per its original intent. If the
JSA is not being followed, then work must stop and the JSA must be revised or a new JSA prepared.
9. Chevron’s Permit to Work (PTW) will be utilized.
10. A Pre Startup Safety Review (PSSR) will be completed at the completion of the project and prior to
turning over facility to Operations.
11. Stop Work Authority (SWA) will be utilized by all personnel on site, if an unsafe condition is identified.
12. Immediately report all injuries/illnesses/near misses-hits/damages/motor vehicle crashes, etc.,
regardless of how minor or major the severity appears to be.
13. Chevron requires that all employees and contractors report ALL incidents, regardless of how minor or
major the severity appears to be. Chevron’s policy is to report these to Axiom, even if the contractor
does not use Axiom as their incident management service. It is mandatory that our contractors report
all incidents to the Chevron PIC. [Case Management]
Contractors and materials will be mobilizing through towns and within proximity to schools, homes, and local
businesses. All personnel should be aware of public safety risks in terms of mobilization, construction, and daily travel.
Please: Stop-Look-Listen before you enter or exit the work site. Watch out for others at all times.
Case Management
The following has been written to provide guidance in the event of an incident. It is not the step-by-step procedure for
incident response, but direction and reinforcement to the adherence to MCBU Incident Management System (IMS)
Process Work Flow. In the event of an incident, the following activities should be pursued:
Ex. Line Strike (buried, metallic or non-metallic, oil/water/gas service) following MCBU FE Dig Plan:
1. Immediately Stop Work
2. Contact Field Safety Rep and Operation Rep to shut in line/confirm already shut-in
3. Mobilize Vacuum Truck to location, in the event of spill
4. Repair lines following the below points (per necessary scenario) and follow the necessary MSW Practices (i.e.
IHE, Hot Work, etc.):
a. Fiberglass: IHE (Non-Hot Work), flush line, gas test, replace section
i. Repair Method: Clockspring, which is a fiberglass wrap (DOT certified); hydro-test
ii. Repair Method: Cut and thread/glue new section; hydro-test
b. Poly: Requires IHE – Flush Line & Gas Test; Need to know SDR rating to fuse new pipe (Hot Work)
i. Repair Method: Follow MCBU FD&C procedure for poly refusion (with appropriate SDR)
c. Steel: Requires IHE – Flush Line & Gas Test;
i. Need to know the remaining wall thickness to make weld repair (hot work)
ii. Repair Method: Welding – Repair weld section and X-Ray and/or hydro-test; reapply the
external coating; hydro-test
d. Fiberspar: Requires IHE (Non-Hot Work)
i. Repair Method: Utilize Pipe-to-Pipe connectors and re-connect sections
ii. Repair Method: (if large damage) Cut section to normal dimension diameter exists, utilize “Weld
Prep Connector – Appropriate sized steel section (internally/externally coated) – Weld Prep
Connector” and have coated prior to assembly
e. For Steel Trunk Lines, Plidco sleeve (DOT Certified, possibly stainless steel, with wax-coated bolts) – to
patch holes, dents (external), bolts around pipe – eventually weld the Plidco sleeve to pipe (maintain
same pressure rating) – again following IHE & Hot Work Procedures
5. If the line is a third party line:
a. Contact CVX Ops to assist in contacting 3rd Party Operator to shut-in line
b. 3rd Party to repair and send Chevron the invoice.
i. Chevron shall not repair a 3rd Party Line
6. If the Chevron line cannot be repair following the MSW Practices (i.e. IHE, Hot Work, etc.), a new procedure for
high-risk activity must be written and approved by FE Manager and Area manager.
Minor Incident (cuts/slips/trips/biological hazard, other non-life threatening injuries):
1. Immediately Stop Work
2. All incidents involving shall be reported immediately to the Construction Representative in charge of operations.
3. Construction Rep to contact Axiom (1-877-502-9466) to initiate case management and describe severity of

Project Manager on the day of the occurrence.
5. The Project Manager will communicate the incident update to the Area FE TTL and DE (Follow IMS Work Flow)
6. All OSHA recordable incidents, first aids, and significant near misses should be thoroughly investigated by a
Chevron/Business Partner team as soon as possible following the incident.
7. The incident investigation team should consist of the Business Partner’s designated safety representative, the
Chevron Supervisor for the work and additional resources as needed. The team should jointly sign off on an
investigation report that identifies the “root causes” and corrective action. This report should be submitted to
the FE Manager in a timely manner.
