Home My WebLink About5.0 CorrespondenceGlenn Hartmann From: Fred Jarman Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 12:09 PM To: Tom Jankovsky Cc: Glenn Hartmann Subject: Grouse Map Hi Tom, Left you a voice mail on this. Ultimately, it looks like the project falls within priority habitat (1/2) and non -habitat (1/2) of the County's most recent mapping. Because this is private property, the County's GSG Conservation Plan suggests closing suitable habitat (the red areas) to development unless fluid resource cannot be extracted without minimal surface disturbance. If it is disturbed, then BMPs will be followed and mitigation used to ensure a no net loss to sage grouse habitat and no deleterious demographic effect on the population. Fred A.

This facility is located in Section 24, T4S, R96W of the 6'h Principle Meridian. In September 2009, CPW entered into an agreement with Encana Oil & Gas (USA) for a Wildlife Mitigation Plan for the North Parachute Ranch property which includes the subject property proposed for this facility. CPW has consulted with Encana on this project and it is our understanding that the best management practices identified in the Encana North Parachute Ranch/CPW Wildlife Mitigation Plan will be incorporated into the development of this project. This site is located in a greater sage -grouse production area, elk winter concentration and production areas, and black bear habitat. The best management practices identified in the Encana North Parachute Ranch/CPW Wildlife Mitigation Plan are anticipated to address wildlife concerns. Colorado Parks and Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to work with Garfield County on this and other projects for the benefit of wildlife. If you have any questions please contact Scott Hoyer, District Wildlife Manager, at 970-250-0873. Sincerely, JT Romatzke Area Wildlife Manager STATE OF COLORADO John W.

Lovely mud! Following up from some of your questions: • COGCC does not regulate compressor stations • I've attached the Project Description detailing the processes as identified by our engineer of how the gas is managed and ultimately sent down the line • I've also attached an example of an amine unit for reference (not Encana's). It is similar to a dehy system, but an amine unit removes CO2 from the gas stream. Hope that helps. Please forward on any other questions or concerns you may have. Thank you.

HRES is an asset holding company operated by Encana. Encana personnel will operate and maintain the existing CDP facility. Some documents submitted with this application may reference Encana policies and procedures where applicable. The Wolf Ranch Compressor Station (facility) is proposed to be located in the NW '/4 of section 24, Township 4 South, Range 96 West. It will be a grass roots facility that will boost medium pressure gas to high pressure for distribution to sales. The proposed unmanned facility is located approximately 25 miles north-northeast of Parachute, Colorado situated on Encana's North Parachute Ranch property. Natural gas will be compressed at the well pads and then transported to the proposed facility via pipeline. The gas will then enter the slug catcher where all the liquids will be separated. The gas then will flow to the compressors, which boost the gas to a higher pressure. From there, the gas goes on to sales. The free liquid then flows through a 3 phase gathering line to a central delivery point and then on to the main processing facility through existing pipelines. An amine plant, which removes CO2 from natural gas, is proposed to the north of the compressors in an open area, which also is proposed to be used as a storage/laydown yard. The Facility will consist of the following equipment: 3 Compressors - 2 Future Dehydrators - 2 Generators - 1 Future Combustor - 1 Slug Catcher - 3 Future Compressors 3 Filter Separators - 3 Future Filter Separators - 1 Instrument Air Skid - 1 Future Amine Plant 1 Pig Receiver 2 Pig Launchers - 1 BTEX Condenser - 1 LACT 1 Storage/Maintenance Building 760 Horizon Dr. Suite 102 TEL 970.263.7800 Grand Junction, CO 81506 FAX 970.263.7456 www.oaconsulting.com
