At this time, we have completed surveys of approximately 2/3 of the pipeline alignment between High Mesa and Cottonwood Creek. We anticipate completion of field work by April 22, 2008 and submittal of the reports by April 28, 2008. Based on completed field work and WestWater's knowledge of the project area, the final report will likely identify the following issues: (1) Most of the alignment is within CDOW designated winter range for deer and elk. (2) A single active red -tail hawk nest was observed on a powerline pole adjacent to the alignment. No other raptor nests have been observed with .25 miles of the alignment so far. There is still some potential to find nests during completion of surveys. (3) No individuals or populations of the sensitive plant species Penstemon harringtonii (Harrington's penstemon) have been observed. Sensitive species are not protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Federal agencies manage these species in order to avoid potential ESA listing of the species. The eastern extent of the alignment is within 1/8 mile of the most westerly known occurrence of this species in Garfield County. The portion of the alignment with the highest potential for this plant is located at the eastern most extent of the alignment which has not yet been surveyed. Given the early growing season date of the surveys, it is unlikely we will be able to positively determine if this species is present since penstemon in the project area are not yet in bloom. 1 (4) The pipeline will cross Battlement Creek. CDOW has documented the presence of Colorado River cutthroat trout in the creek, a State listed sensitive species. CDOW is likely to request that the pipeline be bored under the creek and that no disturbance to the creek bed occur from May 1 to August 1. US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) will likely consider Nationwide Permit 12 to be applicable for this crossing. (5) We have observed an extensive area of musk thistle over approximately a 1 mile length in the western '/4 of the alignment, and scattered occurrences of musk thistle, bull thistle, Russian knapweed, and hounds tongue along remainder of the alignment surveyed to date. It is likely additional infestations will be found along the portions of the alignment not yet surveyed. Avoidance and mitigation recommendations will be included in our final IVNWMP and Wildlife and Sensitive Areas reports. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions concerning our preliminary findings. Sincerely, Michael W.

Energy Transfer Company has developed and put in place Safety Management Systems which work to prevent accidents and fires, eliminate persona] injury, and protect the environment and general public. An example of one such system is the Hot Work Permit System._ This system is designed with specific requirements as to who has the authority to issue permits and approve work. The Inspector qualification program is used to authorize non -operations, and in some cases non -Company, personnel to issue certain types of hot work permits_ Application: This process applies to existing pipeline facilities owned and/or operated by Energy Transfer Company. This process covers the issuance of Hot Work Permits and Confined Space Work Permits related to excavation work associated with pipeline activities. This also includes general pipeline and right-of-way work activities that do not require depressurization or opening process or pipeline equipment containing hydrocarbons. Applicability Note: This process is not intended for and does not apply to "Greenfield" engineering and construction activities which are new construction and gas free and are not yet connected to any Energy Transfer Company pipe or facility. Permitting activities for "Greenfield" operations and projects are the responsibility of project contractors. Procedure: Local pipeline operations supervision and Safety representatives may authorize qualified construction or contract inspectors to issue hot work permits in accordance with this process as a designated Operation representative. In order to serve as the designated Operation representative, non -operations Energy Transfer Company employee or contract inspector must be approved by Operations Manager and the local Safety Coordinator from the area in which the person is to perform as a Designee. The Operation Representative Designee must: 1.. Be qualified to recognize and address abnormal operating conditions and other required job tasks in accordance with the Energy Transfer Company Operator Qualification (OQ) program, as it applies to the work being conducted. This includes the ability to effectively coordinate the mitigation of an unplanned release of the product in the system being worked. 2. Have a thorough understanding of the equipment (piping, valves, etc.) in the system where the work is being conducted. This includes the physical location and access routes of associated isolation valves upstream and downstream of the work site and other associated equipment that may be involved. 3. Be familiar with the operating conditions of the system on which the work is being conducted. 4. Be familiar with and be in possession of the Emergency Action Plan covering the area where the work is being conducted, or have the necessary emergency contacts for the area if it is not covered by an existing Emergency Action Plan (i.e., new project). 5. Demonstrate understanding of Energy Transfer Company's Safety Policies and Procedures, including the use and calibration of portable gas detection equipment, and all other precautionary measures outlined in the various permitting processes. 6. Have a thorough knowledge of applicable OSHA regulations pertinent to the work being conducted. Inspector Permit Qualification Process The following is provided as clarification regarding the issuance of permits by a Company Representative Designee. Hot Work Permits Any hot work involving welding or other spark producing activities on any opened / depressurized process equipment or piping containing hydrocarbons / chemicals requires a hot work permit issued by an Energy Transfer Company Operations Employee. A Operation Representative Designee(s) who is not an Energy Transfer Company employee can not issue a hot work permit for work that requires the process or piping containing the hydrocarbons / chemicals to be opened to the atmosphere. New pipeline construction projects (i.e_, well ties) where hydrocarbons are not introduced into the system do not require a hot work permit. Hot Work Permits for Pipeline Integrity Excavations / Repairs Outside of Compressor/Pump Stations and Processing Facilities (Anomaly Investigations) All initial excavations on in-service or depressurized lines with evidence of leaking hydrocarbon / chemicals require the issuance of a Hot Work Permit, the completion of the Excavation Checklist, and the presence of an Energy Transfer Company Operations Employee. For other pipeline integrity excavations and repairs (clock spring installation, bolt on clamps, weld on sleeves) when there is no evidence of a hydrocarbon / chemical leak, and the job plan does not call for the piping or equipment to be opened to the atmosphere, the hot work permit may be issued by a Operation Representative Designee. Confined Space Entry Permits As defined in the Confined Space Policy, an excavation with a depth of four (4) feet or more is initially classified as a confined space. Confined space excavations in which physical and atmospheric hazards are eliminated and a means of egress is provided within every twenty-five (25) feet may be re-classified as Non -Permit Required (non-regulated) confined spaces by the Operation Company Representative Designee. Non -Permit Required confined space entries such as excavations do not require the continuous presence of an operations representative or designee. However, the non - permit required spaces must be inspected daily (prior to entry, or if conditions change) by a "competent person" to ensure physical and atmospheric conditions at the work site have not changed (e.g., water or hydrocarbon accumulation, sloughing of walls, fissures in walls, etc.). While this inspection is required on a daily basis, the job does not require continuous oversight by the operations representative or designee. All Permit -Required Confined Space Entry Permits must be issued by an Energy Transfer Company Operations Representative. Inspector Permit Qualification Process Appendix A — Supplemental Reference Material and Definitions Air Mover - A portable Lightweight device for securing a positive forced movement of air or gas, either into or out of a closed area. It requires compressed air or gas to operate and has no moving parts. The device converts the pressure of a compressed air or gas by expansion at a high velocity tluough an annular orifice, and produces a powerful venturi or jet effect. This causes a large volume of the gas in the pipeline to be drawn through the bell of the air mover, and be delivered with the expanded air or gas supply through the outlet horn. Auto -ignition Temperature - The lowest temperature at which a flammable gas or vapor -air mixture will ignite frorn its own heat source or a contacted heat surface without the necessity of spark or flame. Blanking or Blinding - The absolute closure of a pipe, line or duct by fastening across its bore a solid plate or "cap" which completely covers the bore. Combustible Liquids - Liquids with a flash point at or above 100°F. When these liquids are heated to or above their flash point, they may have some of the same characteristics and hazards of a flammable liquid. Combustion - The act or process of continuous burning that follows after ignition, which involves rapid oxidation accompanied by the evolution of heat and usually light. Convection - The transfer of heat or electricity by means of mixing or circulating heated or electrified particles. Double Block and Bleed - The closure of a line, duct or pipe by locking open and tagging a drain or vent valve which is open to the atmosphere in the line between two closed and locked valves. Explosion - A rapid increase of pressure in a confined space followed by its sudden release due to the rupture of the container_ Explosive Limits - The minimum, Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and maximum, Upper Explosive Limit (UEL), concentration of vapor or gas in air below the LEL or above the UEL which explosion or propagation of flame does not occur in the presence of ignition. Explosive Range - The difference between the lower (LEL) and upper (UEL) flammable (explosive) limits, expressed in terms of percentage by volume of vapor or gas in air. Explosive Mixture - A mixture of flammable vapor or gas and air within the lower (LEL) and upper (UEL) limits of the explosive range. Extinguishing Agent - Material or substance which performs a fire extinguishing function. Fire - Rapid oxidation with the evolution of heat and light. Flame - The visible heat rays which appear when the ignition of a material is reached. Flame Propagation - The spread of flame throughout a combustible vapor area which may be in a container or across a surface, independently of the ignition source. Generally used in connection with the capability and rate of such movement. Inspector Permit Qualification Process Flammable - Any substance that is easily ignited, bums intensely, or has a rapid rate of flame spread. Flammable and inflammable are identical in meaning. Flammable Limits - (See Explosive Limits) Flammable Liquids - Liquids having a flash point below 100°F and having vapor pressure not exceeding 40 PSIA at 00°F. A flammable liquid does not burn, rather, the vapors from the liquid bum. Flammable Range - (See Explosive Range) Flammable Vapor - A concentration, by volume, of vapors in the air from a flammable liquid within the lower (LEL) and upper (UEL) flammable limits. Flash Point - The lowest temperature of a liquid at which it gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with the air near the surface of the liquid or within the vessel used. Hazardous Atmosphere - An atmosphere exposing employees to risk of death, incapacitation, or injury or acute illness due to: • Flammable gas, vapor or mist in excess of 10% of the LEL. • Oxygen concentration below 19.5% or above 23.5%. • Atmospheric concentration of a hazardous substance above its Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). • Atmospheric condition recognized as Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH). Hot Work - Any operation that produces sufficient heat or has the potential for developing sufficient heat to cause ignition of flammable materials. Examples: Open flame, welding, grinding, gas or diesel engine, electric equipment, sandblasting, dynamiting, static electricity, jack out/draw out/drop out of electrical disconnect switches, hot taps. Hot Work Permit - The employer's written authorization to perform welding, cutting, heating or other operations which could serve as a source of ignition in a restricted area. Ignition Temperature - The minimum temperature to which a substance in air must be heated in order to initiate or cause self-sustaining combustion independent of the heating source_ Interior Line Breaking - The intentional opening of a pipe, line or duct that is or has been in service carrying flammable, corrosive or toxic material, or carrying any fluid at a pressure greater than atmospheric or temperature greater than 110°F, or cold enough to cause a severe flinch reaction or thermal injury. Lockout and Ta2out - A means of isolating a pipeline or system by securing all energy sources and placing a padlock or tag on the control (valve, switch, etc.) to assure that all employees are aware that the condition or placement of the valve or switch should not be changed. Oxidation - The combination of a substance with oxygen. Restricted Area - Those areas or activities which have been designated by location supervision as requiring the Hot Work Permit procedure. These include all areas where hydrocarbons, are handled, Inspector Permit Qualification Process stored, piped or processed. Example: Compressor Stations, NG Treating Plant, Gasoline Plants, LPG Pump Stations, LPG Tank Fares, LPG Loading Areas, API Separators, and Hydrocarbon Pipelines. Spontaneous Ignition - Ignition resulting from a chemical reaction in which there is a generation of heat from oxidation of organic compounds until the combustion or ignition temperature of the material is reached. Technician - The employee designated to render technical safety information pertaining to specialized job operations prior to the execution of some work permits. Examples would include the employee who operates a pipe locator. Operations Representative Designee - The appointed person for the unit/area where that permit is issued and has been designated, in writing, by the location Supervisor and the Safety & Health as capable (by education and experience) of anticipating, recognizing and evaluating worker exposure to hazards/unsafe conditions and will use good judgment in arriving at their decision. The Designee shall be capable of specifying necessary control and/or protective action to insure worker and equipment safety. This person authorizes and issues the Work Permit. Vapor - The gaseous phase of a substance which is a liquid at normal temperature and pressure. Vapor Density - Weight of a vapor per unit volume at any given temperature and pressure. Vapor Pressure - The pressure exerted at any given temperature by a vapor either by itself or in a mixture of gases. it is measured at the surface of an evaporating liquid. FIRE THEORY FIRE is made up of the four following components: 1. Fuel - The most common fuels contain hydrogen and carbon. 2. Heat - A necessary condition for ignition to occur. 3. Oxygen - Oxygen plays a key role in regulating the speed of burning for most fuels and is a necessary element for combustion to initiate and continue. 4. Chemical Chain Reaction - A chemical reaction in which intermediate products are formed which are necessary for the existence and continuation of flames. CLASSIFICATIONS OF FIRES The National Fire Protection Association has broken alI fires into four separate classes based on the type of extinguishing media necessary to combat each. 1. Class A Fires - Fires that occur in ordinary combustible materials such as wood and paper. Water is the recommended media for cooling and quenching Class A fires. 2. Class B Fires - Fires that occur in a vapor -air mixture above the surface of flammable liquids. 3. Class C Fires - Fires that occur in or near electrical equipment where no -conductive extinguishing agents are required. 4. Class D Fires - Fires that occur in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, lithium and sodium. Each flammable metal requires its own extinguishing agent. The following is a classification system established by the National Fire Protection Association: Flammable Liquids Class I - Flash points below 100°F Class IA - Flash points below 73°F and boiling points below 100°F Inspector Permit Qualification Process Class [B - Flash points below 73°F and boiling points above 100°F Class IC - Flash points at or above 73°F and below 100°F Combustible Liquids - Liquids with flash points at or above 100°F Class 11 - Flash points at or above 100°F and below 140°F CIass III A - Flash points at or above 140°F and below 200°F Class 111 8 - Flash points at or above 200°F COMMON FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS WITHIN THE GAS INDUSTRY Various flammable and combustible materials, including solids, liquids and gases, exist within the gas industry. This section is dedicated to the identification of the more common of these and where they exist in the work place. GASES Methane - Methane, in various concentrations, exists in virtually all processes within the industry. Methane is also referred to as natural gas, sweet gas or marsh gas. It is the main product in marketable or commercial gas. Natural gas containing high concentrations of methane (87-95%) has the following properties: Specific Gravity (AIR = 1.0) .590 - .614 Ignition Temperature 900 - 1170oF Limits of Flammability 04.7 - 15.0% From these properties, it is easily concluded that methane is an extremely flammable gas. It is lighter than air and is easily ignited. High concentrations of methane are found in all pipelines (main and field gas gathering), mainline and field compressor stations, treating and gasoline plants. Hydrogen Sulfide - H2S also exists in various concentrations in most processes within the industry. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly flammable and toxic gas. H2S of 98% or more has the following properties: Specific Gravity (AIR = 1.0) 1.2 Ignition Temperature 500°F Limits of Flammability 4.3 - 46.0% Hydrogen sulfide is an extremely flammable and poisonous gas. It exists in high concentrations in sulfur plants, treating plants, flare lines, many gathering lines and some compressor stations. Work with or around H2S should not be attempted without a thorough knowledge of the compound. Iron Sulfide - (A by-product of H2S) - Iron sulfide is formed in a finely divided state as a film or sludge whenever H2S is in contact with iron or steel. It may also be formed in the presence of iron, sulfur and heat. Spontaneous combustion may take place on exposure of iron sulfide to the oxygen in the air, thus providing an unwanted ignition source. Steaming of vessels containing iron sulfide is the most effective way to remove carbon vapors and liquids. If this is not possible, iron sulfide should be kept wet during work activities. Inspector Permit Qualification Process LP Gas - (Propane, Butane, Ethane) - LP Gas is a mixture of materials all comprised of carbon and hydrogen. In commerce, LP gas is mainly either propane or normal butane or mixtures of these with smaller amounts of ethane, ethylenes, propylene and butylene. Propane has the following properties: Specific Gravity (AIR = 1.0) 1.5 Ignition Temperature 842°F Limits of Flammability 2.15 - 9.60% Butane has the following properties: Specific Gravity (AIR = 1.0) 2.0 Ignition Temperature 550°F Limits of Flammability 1.55 - 8.60% LP Gas vapor is normally 1-1/2 - 2 times heavier than air, therefore it will tend to spread along the ground sometimes associated with a visible fog of condensed water vapor LPG is extremely flammable and is most commonly found in gasoline and fractionation plants, liquid storage and loading facilities. LIQUIDS Natural Gasoline (C5 +) - An extremely flammable liquid hydrocarbon. Gasoline is a product of the distillation process in most gasoline plants. Drip gasoline may also be found in field operations. This liquid has the following properties: Specific Gravity (WATER= I.0) .72 -.76 Flash Point 45°F Auto -ignition Temperature 536 -850°F Limits of Flammability 1.4 -7.6% Vapor Density (AIR = 1.0) 3.0 -4.0 Gasoline - A dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat and flames. Vapors are three to four times heavier than air and can flow along surfaces, reach distant ignition sources and flash back. This liquid may be found in gasoline plants, storage and loading facilities, field gathering pipelines, scrubbers and drips. Gasoline can react violently with oxidizing agents. Glycol - Glycol readily absorb moisture and are widely used in dehydration of natural gas. Di -ethylene and tri -ethylene glycol have been used to dehydrate natural gas since the 1940's. Glycol is a combustible liquid with a low fire hazard unless heated, and has the following properties: Boiling Point 446°F Flash Point 230°F Auto -ignition Temperature 442°F Limits of Flammability 0.9 - 6.2% Glycol is a colorless, sweet tasting, poisonous liquid. This combustible is mainly found in field treating operations and treating plants. Caution should be exercised when hot work is performed near glycol. Inspector Permit Qualification Process OTHER COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS Many liquids exist in various areas in the industry. Before any "Hot Work" is attempted in or around facilities containing liquids, knowledge of that substance and its properties should be acquired. Lubrication Oil - A low fire hazard, unless heated. Many different types of oils are used on various equipment. Most lube oils have high flash points and auto -ignition temperatures. Amine Treating Solutions - The various treating amines (DEA, MEA, DGA) are made up mainly of water. However, after the treating process has taken place and the treating solutions absorb hydrocarbons, these hydrocarbons may cause a fire hazard when heat is applied. Safety Solvent - A petroleum type solvent used for cleaning that has replaced Varsol at most alI of EPNG's locations. This solvent goes by the name of Lube Rite and Solvent 140-66. Safety solvent is an NFPA class IIIA combustible liquid. Like lubricating oil, this solvent can become explosive if heated. Flash Point . 142-150 deg. F Auto -ignition Temperature No Data Limits of Flammability 1.0 - 6.0% Vapor Density (Air = 1.0) 5.48 Specific Gravity (Water = 1.0) 780 Establishing Hot Work Areas This appendix provides guidance on determining and establishing hot work areas in a facility inside which a hot work permit would be required to conduct hot work. The work product is intended to serve as a training and resource tool to ensure consistent and safe application of the hot work procedure. Class I Locations Class I locations are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Class I locations shall include those specified in (a) and (b) below. (a) Class I, Division' 1. A CIass 1, Division 1 location is a location (1) in which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors can exist under normal operating conditions; or (2) in which ignitable concentrations of such gases or vapors may exist frequently because of repair or maintenance operations or because of leakage; or (3) in which breakdown or faulty operation of equipment or processes might release ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors, and might also cause simultaneous failure of electric equipment. (b) Class I, Division 2. A Class I, Division 2 location is a location (1) in which volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems, or in case of abnorrnal operation of equipment; or (2) in which ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment; or (3) that is adjacent to a Class I, Division 1 location, and to which ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors might occasionally be Inspector Permit Qualification Process communicated unless such communication is prevented by adequate positive -pressure ventilation from a source of clean air, and effective safeguards against ventilation failure are provided. Class lI and Class Ill - definitions are summarized below but are not normally expected to occur. Issuers of hot work permits should be aware of these hazards from combustible materials when issuing permits. Class II locations are those that are hazardous because of the presence of combustible dust. Class IIl locations are those that are hazardous because of the presence of easily ignitable fibers or flyings, but in which such fibers or flyings are not likely to be in suspension in the air in quantities sufficient to produce ignitable mixtures. WORK SITUATIONS REQUIRING HOT WORK PERMIT Operations or work situations requiring the Hot Work Pennit are those creating or capable of creating sufficient heat to cause the ignition of flammable materials. Welding Operations Arc The most common type of arc welding is shielded metal arc (sometimes called stick welding). The intense heat from an electrical arc is used to melt and fuse metals to form a weld. The heat created by this operation is sufficient to cause the ignition of virtually all flammable materials in the gas industry. Welding can also create enough heat that the flash point of many other materials can be reached. Gas Gas welding is a manual fusion welding process similar to arc welding except welds are made with a very hot gas flame instead of with the heat from an electrical arc. The metal surfaces to be joined are melted by the gas flame so they merge or mingle and, after cooling, form a strongly bonded joint. Oxygen and acetylene are the gases most widely used for gas fusion because they produce a hotter flame than other gas mixtures. The Oxyacetylene flame has a maximum temperature of about 6,300°F, which is more than sufficient heat to cause the ignition of flammable materials. Oxygen and Acetylene Cutting Operations When fitted with a special cutting torch, an oxyacetylene welding outfit is quickly converted to an oxygen cutting outfit. The gas and oxygen mixture is regulated so that the temperature is sufficient to melt the metal and added oxygen pressure blows the molten metal from the cut. This operation, like the welding flame, reaches temperatures in excess of 6,000°F. Grinding Operations Portable and table grinders are among the most helpful power tools used by a maintenance craftsman. These tools are also capable of creating sufficient heat to ignite many flammable materials. The mechanical energy used in overcoming the resistance to motion when two solids are rubbed together is known as frictional heat. Any friction generates heat. Friction sparks include the sparks which result from the impact of two hard surfaces, at least one of which is usually metal. Although the temperatures generated vary with different types of metal, in most cases they are sufficient to cause ignition of flammable materials. Other operations creating friction sparks include steel tools. Static Electricity Inspector Permit Qualification Process Static electricity (sometimes called frictional electricity) is an electrical charge that accumulates on the surfaces of two materials that have been brought together and then separated. One surface becomes charged positively, the other negatively. If the substances are not bonded or grounded, they will eventually accumulate a sufficient electrical charge so that a spark discharge may occur. Static arcs are ordinarily of very short duration, and do not produce sufficient heat to ignite ordinary combustible materials such as paper. Some, however, are capable of igniting flammable vapors, gases, and clouds of combustible dust. Sand blasting operations are capable of producing such an electrical charge and static discharge. Other operations capable of creating a static spark include: LPG loading operations, tank filling, liquid transfer etc. Electricity Electricity is capable of creating sufficient heat, in many situations, to ignite flammable liquids and vapors. The heat from arcing electrical current is the most common source of electrical ignition of flammables. Arcing occurs when an electrical circuit which is carrying current is intentionally or accidentally interrupted. The arc temperatures are very high, and the heat released may be sufficient to ignite flammable materials. Arcing may be caused by improperly wired tools or equipment, switches and plugs, frayed wiring, etc. EQUIPMENT The equipment and accessories used in order to assure safe working conditions involving hot work must be understood and demonstrated. Explosive -meter — Eagle, MSA, Scout, Gas Scope, Etc. H2S Detection - When working in areas where H2S may be present, it is extremely important to test for this highly toxic gas. Not only is the extreme flammability of the substance a concern, but also its toxic effect on workers. Fire Extinguishers It is important when monitoring hot work to select a fire extinguisher that is suitable for the flammable or combustible materials involved and the nature of the work area. The selection of the extinguishing method should be made with caution. Each work situation should be evaluated individually, with consideration placed on the type of fire that may be encountered. • Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam and vaporizing liquid (halon) type extinguishing agents have proven to be effective for use on flammable liquid fires of moderate size. • CO2 and halon extinguishers are normally used for electrical fires in the work area. Due to the non - conductivity of these agents and easy clean-up, these have been found to be suitable. • For fires involving natural gas, where little or no liquids are involved, dry chemical and halon have proven to be the most effective. It should be noted that fire extinguishers combat fire by breaking the chain reaction and displacing the oxygen. Therefore, caution should be taken not to displace the oxygen within a work area, making the environment unsuitable for workers. • Water spray is particularly effective on Class A fires and fires involving flammable liquids having flash points above 100°F. Water may be ineffective fighting fires in low flash point liquids. Inspector Permit Qualification Process • It is always preferable to create a hot work situation where no fire is involved. However, due to gas leakage from valves, flammable Liquids and other factors, this is not always possible. When supervising hot work, always anticipate these problems and be ready .to react.

And to explain the general roles and responsibilities of those Employees and Contractors involved in the hazardous atmosphere testing program. Responsibilities for Equipment Preparation Designation and preparation of equipment for work including any associated hazardous atmosphere testing is responsibility of Operations and/or a designated Contract Inspector. In defining the job to be done it may be necessary to consult with personnel from other departments, i.e. group performing work. When equipment has been selected and job defined, the responsible person ensures proper preparations of equipment, which may include items listed below: Isolation Depressurization Lockout Blinding Washing with water Ventilating with air Steaming Purging Cleaning Hazardous Atmospheres Depending upon a worker's background, the term "Hazardous Atmosphere" can range from toxic air contaminants to flammable atmospheres. For purposes of this training an atmosphere is hazardous if it meets the following criteria. Mixture of any flammable material in air whose concentration is within the material's flammable range (Le. between the material's lower flammable limit and its upper flammable limit). Hazardous substance has potential of exceeding permissible exposure limit. Page I Atmosphere has potential to become an oxygen deficient or an oxygen enriched atmos phere. Types of Direct Reading Instruments There are several types of instrumentation for detecting hazardous atmospheres. Oxygen Indicators Oxygen indicators are used to evaluate an atmosphere. Oxygen content for respiratory purposes in nor nal air is 20.9% oxygen. If oxygen content decreases below 19.5% it is considered oxygen deficient and special respiratory protection is needed. Increased risk of combustion; concentrations above 23.5% are considered oxygen enriched and increase the risk of combustion. Some instruments require sufficient oxygen for operation. For example, some combustible gas indicators do not give reliable results at oxygen concentrations below 10%, the inherent safety approvals for instruments are for normal atmospheres and not for oxygen enriched atmospheres. We can not over emphasize importance of conducting testing for oxygen deficient/enriched atmospheres first. Combustible (Gas) Atmosphere Indicators Combustible gas indicators (CGIs) measure the concentration of a flammable vapor or gas in air, indicating results as a percentage of the lower flammable limit of the calibration gas. The LEL (lower explosive limit) or LFL (lower flammable limit) of a combustible gas or vapor is the minimum concentration of material in air that will propagate flame on contact with an ignition source. The UFL (upper flammable limit) is the maximum concentration. Above the UFL the mixture is too rich to support combustion so ignition is not possible. Below the LFL there is insufficient fuel to support combustion. The LEL and UEL for natural gas are approximately 5% and 15% respectively. NOTE: The lower explosive limit (LEL) and lower flammable limit (LFL) have the same meaning. Toxic Atmosphere Monitors Along with oxygen concentration and flammable gases or vapors there is a concern about chemicals present at toxic concentrations. This usually involves measurements at • concentrations lower than would be indicated by oxygen indicators or combustible gas indicators. There is a need to determine if toxic chemicals are present and identify so the environmental concentration can be compared to exposure guidelines. Toxic atmosphere monitoring is done to: Identify airborne concentrations that could pose a toxic risk to workers and the public. Set up work zones or areas where contaminants are or are not present. Page 2 Evaluate need for and type of personal protective equipment including respiratory protection. There are several different instruments used for these purposes. Colorrnetric Indicator Tubes (Detector Tubes) Colorrnetric indicator tubes consist of a glass tube impregnated with an indicating chemical. The tube is connected to a piston or bellows type pump. A known volume of contaminated air is pulled at a predetermined rate through the tube, by the pump. The contaminant reacts with the indicator chemical in the tube, producing a change in color whose length is proportional to the contaminant concentration. Detector tubes are normally chemical specific. There are different tubes for different gases; for example, chlorine detector tube for chlorine gas, etc. Some manufacturers do produce tubes for groups of gases, e.g. aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols. Detector tubes can not be mixed. An MSA tube can not be use with a Drager pump, etc. Multi -Gas indicators Multi-purpose instrument designed to monitor areas for flammable/combustible vapor and oxygen deficiency as well as other gases such as H2S or CO. These indicators function the same as those described above, but allow the operator to sample the atmosphere for all hazards using one instrument. In today's environment the multi -gas indicator is used for most applications. These indicators, depending on manufacturer have visual and audio alarms for each channel to warn the operator or worker of atmospheric hazards. The multi -gas indicator requires a calibration gas containing a standard for each contaminate the indicator is capable of testing, only calibration gas specifically manufactured for the instrument can be used. Atmospheric Testing Requirements There are several sections of the ETC Safety Handbook that may require atmospheric testing, including Confined Space Entry, H2S, Respiratory Protection, and Excavation. When equipment has been properly prepared, the "Job Site" is ready for testing. Atmospheric testing to fulfill requirements of the Work Permit Program must be performed, i.e. hot work permit, and/or confined space entry permit. Periodic gas tests may be required to assist personnel with the various steps of equipment preparation. Hot Work Permit If hot work is to be performed in an area where flammable mixtures may be present, a gas test for flammable vapors must be performed. Ideally zero LEL should be obtained before proceeding with hot work, but hot work can performed up to a 10% LEL level, if 10% or less can not be achieved , the work can only be performed with management approval and signature. Page 3 Tests for toxic or corrosive substances must also be performed when their presence is suspected. Permit Entry Confined Space When entry into a permit entry confined space is required, gas tests for flammable vapors and oxygen content must be performed. Entry into a Permit Required Confined Space has extensive safety and regulatory requirements which must be met. Every reasonable effort needs to be made to remove hazards and downgrade the confined space to the "safest" state. If the space can not be downgraded to a "non permit" required confined space ETC employees will enter only as a last resort and then only with Safety Department approval after all regulatory requirements have been met. if a Permit Entry is required, ETC will contract the entry to a qualified and experienced Contractor and defer to that Contractor's PECS program. Tests for toxic or corrosive substances must also be performed when their presence is suspected. Performing Atmospheric Tests When a hazardous atmosphere test is required, the issuing authority notes this fact on permit and specifies particular gas test needed. In most cases the permit issuer will also perform the testing. Before going to work on site the person performing the test must: • Understand specific equipment involved and tests.to be preformed. • Ensure testing instrument is functioning. • Select correct Drager tube (detector tube) when tests for toxic substances are specified. Perform atmospheric tests stipulated on work permit in accordance with guidelines. Confined Space When entry into a permit entry confined space is necessary for testing, the person performing the test must be provided with supplied air respiratory protection and any other protective equipment that may be needed such as impervious boots, chemical resistant slicker suit, gloves, etc. Ventilation must be stopped 15 minutes prior to conducting the gas test, except when continuously monitoring. Perform tests throughout large spaces such as tanks, drums, towers, or excavations where it may be possible for gas to be trapped in dead end nozzles, plugged downcomers, structural members, etc. Perform tests at many levels in taller vessels since some gases are heavier than air and tend to fall to the bottom and some which are lighter rises to the top. Page 4 Inert Atmospheres Using a gas tester to analyze an inert gas atmosphere can produce a false reading. Always consult with the manufacturer about special requirements. Open Areas The primary concern in open areas is flammable/combustible gas, however; gas tests for toxic substances should also be conducted if presence of toxic substances is suspected. Checks should be made around and at all openings of equipment where work is to be done. Tests at sewer openings, open vents, bleeds, and at any other possible Iocations in area where leaks may be suspected. General It is recommended gas testing be continued throughout the course of work or at specified intervals, i.e. hot work in an area when conditions could change or tank cleaning when work may cause a change in conditions (agitating sludge or other by products). For a gas test to be valid it should be performed as close as possible to the time work in the tested area begins. At a minimum gas tests must be repeated when: Two or more hours pass between test and start of work. Work is stopped and resumes at a later time. Conditions change. Record results of gas tests and sign work permit. If at anytime during the course of work the instrument alarm sounds, warn other workers to exit the area, the permit is cancelled. Take the instrument to clean air to clear the instrument, and re -test and assess the area before returning. Ignition Sources Examples of ignition sources include but are not limited to: Acetylene/gas burning Welding Use of open flames Grinding Drilling Page 5 Gasoline engines driving equipment such as pumps, generators etc. ignition sources must not be introduced into an area that may contain a flammable concentration in air without first performing atmospheric testing. Hot Work Permits are required when ignition sources are to be used within 40 feet of any threaded or flanged pipe connection, vent source, flammable liquid storage/dispensing area, process equipment, tanks etc., that handles flammable products or within any facility containing such products. Maintenance and Calibration of Monitors To ensure proper operations and meter responses, it is important to maintain and calibrate all instruments. The following establishes responsibilities and methods by which maintenance and calibration will be accomplished: Have available a calibration kit from vendor and use them to verify meter calibration at least monthly or in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Calibration is performed by using a known gas/air mixture to ensure the meter response is accurate. Place a calibrated sticker on instruments immediately after calibration. Include date and initials of person performing calibration. Calibration checks should be recorded in an appropriate log. Carry out battery and meter adjustment checks each time an instrument is used. Functional checks of oxygen and combustible gas meters should be carried out each day before use. Functional or bump test is defined as a brief exposure of the monitor to a known concentration of gases for the purpose of verifying sensor and alarm operation and is not intended to be a measure of the accuracy of the instrument. Any instrument not operating properly or out of calibration should be tagged "DANGER DO NOT OPERATE" and sent to the appropriate vendor for necessary repair. Drager/MSA Type Gas Detector This hand operated bellows pump draws measured amounts of air through a gas tube which contains a variety of substances that react selectively with certain chemicals to change colors of the materials in the tube. The concentration of the particular chemical in sampled area is measured as parts per million, PPM, by volume and is indicated by color change within a selected tube. Permissible exposure limits for these contaminants may be found in Federal Regulations Code 29 CFR 1910.1000. Tests for over two hundred of these contaminants can be made with this instrument. In today's environment this instrument is seldom used due to availability of the Multi -gas monitor, but it is important that personnel understand that this device can be used for testing when necessary. Page 6 Permit Responsibilities Permit Issuer/Company Representative Conduct pre job safety meeting with ETC and contract personnel. Inspect the work site and conduct gas tests for flanunable and/or other hazardous conditions. Ensure a minimum of two fire extinguishers and other necessary safety and communication equipment is available. Identify any special precautions necessary and list on the permit. Complete and sign the permit verifying the permit conditions have been met and monitor the work as it progresses ensuring the conditions have not changed. Stop the work if a change occurs which creates an unsafe condition. Work will not resume until a safe condition is restored. Designate a safe area for all personnel to meet in case of an emergency. Person doing the work (permit worker): Read, understand, and sign the Hot Work permit. Advise other works of any special precautions or conditions pertain to the job. Know where the nearest fire extinguisher and other necessary safety and communication equipment are located. Provide necessary equipment, such as: combustible gas detectors, dry chemical fire extinguishers, oxygen meters, safety belts, respiratory equipment, barricades, shoring, etc., as required. Clean up and secure work area after completion of work. When any emergency announcement is made, stop all work and proceed to a safe area. Do not resume work until notified by an ETC representative. Fire Watch Observe an area of at least 50' around the hot work site, and maintain the area free of combustibles and tripping hazards. Have no other duties assigned while on watch. Sign the Hot Work permit and adhere to the conditions listed on the permit. Be properly trained in the use of the fire extinguisher and other safety equipment. Call for emergency assistance and extinguish any small fires. Page 7 Fire watch will remain on watch for 30 minutes after completion of cutting or welding to make certain no ignition takes place from residual heat. Hands On Training To operate specific atmospheric test equipment the candidate will need access to that instrument, instrument calibration equipment and the operator's manual.

The person named above has completed training and demonstrated the physical ability to conduct the necessary tests required by the Energy Transfer Company Hot Work Permit program. Qualification Evaluator Signature Date I have completed the training required for hazardous atmosphere testing. 1 understand the importance of hazardous atmospheric testing and the Hot Work Permit program and will fulfill those duties to the best of my ability. Candidate Signature Date Page 2 Lock -Out Tag -Out ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out Energy Transfer Company requires compliance with applicable Energy €solation Standards. This is accomplished through the use of appropriate engineering controls, management controls, employee training, personal protective equipment, recordkeeping, and safe work practices. Application: All machines and equipment are isolated and rendered inoperative by locking out and tagging all applicable energy isolating devices that physically prevent the transmission or release of energy to the machine or equipment while work is being performed. A positive means of isolation must be implemented and verified before work commences. This section is applicable when any ETC employee or contractor is required to work on various sources of energy, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic or stored pressure. Examples of work activities as described above include, but are not limited to maintenance and service of pumps and compressors; repair and/or replacement of valves or pipelines; motor repairs; tower and tray work; filter change -out; equipment and vessel cleaning; etc. Acceptable Energy Isolation Devices There are six types of mechanical energy isolating devices used to isolate equipment and prevent the unexpected release of stored energy while service and maintenance work is being performed: 1. Electrical source disconnects. 2. Double block -and -bleed valves (i.e., twin seal valves or valve arrangement; two single in-line block valves with a bleeder; sample or vent outlet between the valves). 3. Single block valves that provide a positive seal and can be verified. 4. Air gapping with blind flanges or spool piece removal. 5. Isolation blinds 6. Stopples Important Note: The use of "stopples" as isolation devices requires the development of a detailed job safety plan and approval. Pipeline Operation must provide procedures for clearing the line segment down stream of the stopple fitting as well as procedures to verify all liquids have been removed to verify the stopple fitting has properly sealed preventing any leaking of hydrocarbons past the stopple fitting. The use of these devices is an integral part of our established safety practices and procedures for preparation of equipment for maintenance. However, under this policy, these devices are locked out and tagged prior to any work being performed in the upstrearn/downstream de -energized side of these devices. Requirement Guidelines: 1. Workers will be trained and qualified 2. Perform an initial evaluation of the equipment being isolated to determine any hazard ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out 3. Use locks for energy isolation controls which are user -identified and uniquely keyed which add protection against tampering with locked or tagged systems, and ensure others do not tamper with LOTO devices. 4. Resolve any Company/Contractor energy isolation control differences or conflicts that may create a hazard before work begins. 5. Notify Affected Employees of the application of energy isolation devices. 6. Isolate and/or lockout all identified energy sources. 7. Tag devices with tags identifying the Authorized Employee and date applied. 8. Clear the area surrounding the equipment of personnel. 9. Test the equipment to verify energy sources are controlled before beginning work 10. Immediately stop unsafe activities and report them to location supervision. 11. Make notification to Affected Employees of the removal of LOTO devices. 12. Remove locks / tags used to control hazardous energy. Procedures: General Energy Isolations Procedures The responsibility for compliance with Lockout/Tagout procedures rests with the supervisors and workers performing the Lockout/Tagout procedures. This can include Operations, Engineering, Inspectors, Construction or Contract personnel performing and authorizing the work. The operations supervisor/designee authorizing the work and the individuals of each crew performing the work are required to follow all safety procedures outlined. The following basic procedures apply in all Lockout/Tagout situations. Detailed Procedures The following guidance applies to all pipeline operations. Refer all questions regarding the application of these procedures to the operations supervisor or a safety department representative. 1. Pipeline operations personnel must notify all employees and contractors when Lockout/Tagout procedures are required prior to the work being performed. 2. Ensure that all necessary notifications regarding equipment isolation and decommissioning are made to the facility control room or pipeline control.. 3. Review the most current flow or equipment diagrams to assist in locating all isolation points. 4. Survey the work area and equipment to identify isolation points and the proper methods of energy isolation. 5. In compression/pump stations, render safe the equipment being worked on by isolating and relieving any stored hazardous energy, by closing valves or switchgear, opening vents, disconnecting, restraining or blinding. Blinds are installed when the release of flammable or toxic liquids, vapors or gases into the work area cannot be controlled. 6. On pipeline operations, close all block valves that feed into the line where work is performed. Chain, lock, and tag the isolation valves with a DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE or other appropriate tag. Blinds (where applicable) are installed when the introduction of flammable materials into the work area is not controlled. ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out 7. Pipeline Operations prepares the isolation and/or blinds identifying all electrical and/or mechanical isolation points associated with the equipment/machine taken out-of service. The following guidelines are presented to assist in preparing the "Isolation/Blind List", and implementing these procedures: • All piping is physically traced and verified by single Iine drawings, if possible, to determine all sources of pressure such as pumps, hydrostatic head pressure, and manifold lines, and to identify which valves and pressure sources need to be blinded, closed, disconnected and/or depressurized. • Valves that stop the flow of material to the equipment being opened are closed, locked and tagged. Single block valves in hydrocarbon service must provide a positive seal. If a positive seal is not achieved, a thorough hazard evaluation must be conducted and a Job Plan developed to make the work safe. Precautionary measures may include installation of blinds behind leaking valves or use of stopples. In addition air movers may be utilized to pull hydrocarbons out of the lines or equipment to clear the work zone. In some cases, where the use of one of these methods is not feasible or is ineffective, it may be necessary to de-pressure upstream of the isolation valve to prevent the escape of hydrocarbon vapors while the work is being performed_ Where possible, two valves on the upstream side of the point of work are closed, and both valves are locked and tagged in the closed position. Any residual pressure between the two valves is bled from the line and a positive means of keeping the line vented is maintained by means of locking and tagging a valve (bleed) in the opened position, or by means of spool removal. • If the equipment being opened is connected to a common header, it may be necessary to blind, lock out and tag the valves on the downstream side of the work point. Never depend on check valves to prevent backflow of contents in the pipelines. • Verify the equipment is ready for maintenance and/or servicing by such methods as checking pressure gauges downstream of the isolation points; "sniffing" the line for hydrocarbons or checking for other materials; opening bleed valves; and checking on/off switches or other normal operating controls. Operations personnel ensure the equipment is totally de-energized and isolated from any potential energy sources. • Notify all personnel (Company and contractors) involved in the work to be performed of the type and magnitude of the energy hazard involved. This information includes the electrical current/voltage; hazardous characteristics of the product, potential pressure involved, mechanical action or other energy potential, emphasizing the significance of proper implementation and compliance of these procedures. 8. In the process of decommissioning the equipment, pipeline operations first locks out and tags each isolation device as it is closed, de-energized, and/or installed in such a manner that renders the equipment inoperative and/or totally isolates it from any potential energy source. Operations places the first lock and tag "on" and take the last lock and tag "off' the equipment being isolated. ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out 9. When servicing and/or maintenance is performed by a crew, craft, department or other group, they utilize a procedure which affords personnel a level of protection equal to that provided by the implementation of a personal lockout or tagout device. 10. As a minimum, one lock and tag for each craft, group, or contractor working on the equipment is attached to the lockout device at each energy isolation point. The use of the "lock box" methodology may be followed in some cases where the direct application of the lock is not practical. When this methodology is used, it must be compatible with the contractor's energy isolation procedure. The contractor has the right to verify and place their locks on each isolation point. I I . PipeIine Operations ensures all additional procedures are completed for decommissioning the equipment and all requirements of the Permit System are implemented prior to work commencing. 12. Before lockout or tagout devices are removed and energy is restored to the machine or equipment, the authorized employee(s) will ensure the work area is inspected and that nonessential items have been removed and that machine or equipment components are operationally intact. In addition, the work area shall be checked to ensure that all employees have been safely positioned or removed from the equipment being energized. Blinding Procedures for Pipeline Operations (Compression and Pump Stations): Blinds are installed to control the release of combustible or toxic liquids, vapors or gases during maintenance or construction. Full -rated blind meeting ANSI standards shall be installed. All "shop built or home made" blinds must be approved by Engineering and meet ANSI standards. In addition to this the following guidelines apply: 1. Blinds are tagged for identification. 1 All blinds are removed when work is complete. 3. During hydro -test applications (line, vessel, drum, etc.), only a rated blind flange is used. 4. During a confined space entry, a skillet blind is inserted at each flange closest to the vessel. 5. A skillet blind (vendor manufactured, shop built, or on-site manufactured) is used ONLY if a tagged vent to atmosphere is located between a closed and locked block valve and the blind. Preparation Guidelines for Isolating Electrical Equipment The following procedures are applicable when maintenance/service work is performed directly on any electrically -operated equipment where the potential exposure of electrical current and/or equipment activation (startup) may result in injury to employees and/or contractors. 1. Qualified personnel prepare the equipment for repair and disconnect the electrical circuit from its source of power by means of the circuit breaker or disconnect switch. 2. The following are conducted by qualified personnel: all power circuit disconnects of 600 Volts and above; any de -energizing activities that require the opening of ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out the switchgear door, cover or other protective devices; and any reaching into and/or entering the equipment in any manner. • Disconnection of the electrical power is done at the main power or disconnect switch and never through an "off -on" push button, selector switch or electrical interlocks that de -energize electric power circuits indirectly through contacts, controllers or other electrically -operated disconnecting devices. • Once the power source is disconnected, locked out and tagged, personnel verify the equipment/machine operating controls (such as push button selector switches and electrical interlocks or other operating mechanism) are properly de -energized to ensure the equipment/machine is not restarted and/or activated in any manner. • Electrical circuits to machine/equipment worked on directly are checked with appropriate test equipment by qualified personnel to verify the equipment and circuits are totally de -energized. (Safety procedures for checking "test equipment" are followed in accordance to NFPA 70E). • Where it is not possible to lock open a circuit, the removal of a fuse or buss is an acceptable method of isolation. The fuse or buss in the switchgear is removed by a qualified person/electrician. Both operations' personnel and the qualified person are required to place their "Danger" tag at this point of power disconnect. Where it is neither possible to remove a fuse or buss nor to lockout disconnects at the power source, qualified personnel disconnect from the power source and place a "Danger" tag on the electrical wires to the equipment. • All "on-off' switches and/or control points between the one locked out and the equipment being worked on must be in the "off' position so that when power or utility is restored, no damage occurs from auxiliary control panels being in the "on" position. Note: Some automatic equipment has a built-in memory and in many instances may cycle or be activated in some manner when power is restored to the equipment. This is applicable to "timed" and/or remotely activated equipment such as pumps, cooler fans and computer -controlled equipment. Work Activities NOT Requiring Lockout / Tagout 1 Employee controlled cord- and plug- connected electrical tools. 2. Hot tapping operations where continuity of service is essential and shutdown of the system is impractical and the work is performed in accordance with the existing established safe operating procedures that do not involve any type of maintenance/service work which exposes the individual or others to potential injury when performing "hot tap" procedures. 3_ Normal operating duties and functions routinely performed by operations personnel in accordance with established safe operating procedures and do not involve any type of maintenance work that exposes the individual to the release of unexpected energy. 4. Welding on in-service pipelines conducted in accordance with specific engineering standards, procedures, and safety requirements developed for this type of work. ENERGY ISOLATION Lock out/Tag out 5. Any job and/or work activities that meet the criteria of this policy, but are not locked out and tagged in accordance to these procedures due to abnormal situations and/or conditions, are reviewed by the respective location supervisor and safety personnel to determine acceptable alternatives that protect against employee exposure to potential injury. TRAFFIC IMPACT: Traffic along county roads will increase due to construction activities. Measures will be taken to minimize this impact through scheduling and limiting access to the pipeline right-of-way. Actual construction of the pipeline will take place in four (4) phases. Anticipated "Traffic Impact" for each phase is as follows: Phase #1 — Right -of -Way Clearing and Trenching: Construction personnel = 12 Vehicles = 4 Inspection personnel = 2 Vehicles = 2 Heavy haul Trucks = 3 Trips = 3 ea.

Employees will be bused to the staging areas and then dispursed as needed along the right-of-way. Construction personnel will return to the staging area following the completion of work each day and where busses will transport them back to their living accommodations. The construction schedule will be a six day work week (Monday through Saturday) with work commencing at 7:OOam and ending at 5:OOpm each day. All vehicles will be licensed to meet DOT regulations. All permits will be obtained as required by Garfield County for trucking of heavy and/or wide loads. Dust control will be a daily construction activity taken to mitigate any public impact.

Date ► Q .r -�.� / 2 c o 5' Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: • An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, • A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, • An estate (other than a foreign estate), or ▪ A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income. The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases: • The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, Cat.

Field Bending 1.1.1. General The intent of this Specification is to require that field bends shall be made in a manner that shall minimize the distortion of the pipe and shall in no way impair its strength. Where it is necessary to bend pipe, only cold bends shall be employed. The bends shall be free from buckling, flattening, cracks or other evidence of mechanical damage. Particular care shall be taken so that egging of the pipe through the area of bend is such that the difference between the maximum and minimum diameters does not exceed 2.5 % of the nominal diameter. All bends shall meet the criteria set forth in DOT Part 192 or 195, which ever is applicable. 1.1.2. Slack and Longitudinal Welds All over -bends, sags and side -bends shall be made to provide an adequate amount of slack in the pipeline. On pipe containing a longitudinal weld, the longitudinal seam must be as near as practical to neutral axis of the bend unless the bend is made with an internal bending mandrel or the pipe is 12 in. or less in outside diameter or has a diameter—to—wall thickness ratio less than 70. 1.1.3. Bending Machine Each bend shall be made using a Company approved bending machine having a full circle bending shoe with a neoprene or urethane lining to produce a smooth, symmetrical bend, unless specified otherwise by the Company. If the pipe is internally coated, the bearing surfaces of the mandrel shall be constructed to avoid permanently marking or damaging the internal coating. No appreciable stretching or thinning of the pipe wall thickness shall be permitted. ENERGY TRANSFER CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION FOR LAND PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION Specification Title: Bending & Alignment Specification No. LP -08 Issue Date: May 27th 2005 Revision Date: Page 3 of 4 1.1.4. Bending Limitation Deflection shall be limited to a maximum of one and one-half degrees per pipe diameter measured longitudinally along the pipe. A Company accepted method of measurement shall be used by the Contractor when marking the pipe in preparation for making field bends. 1.1.5. Tangents Bending shall not be allowed in a circumferential weld and not closer than 6 ft. to an open end. 2. SWABBING AND CLOSING OPEN ENDS 2.1.1. Swabbing Each pipe joint shall be swabbed as necessary to remove all dirt and foreign matter from the inside of the pipe before the joints are aligned and welded_ The swabbing operation shall not be carried on more than four joints ahead of the firing line welders or aligning and welding operations. 2.1.2. Closing of Pipe Ends Where the line is welded in long sections by the firing line method, the ends of the long sections shall be closed and kept closed in a manner approved by the Company until the long sections are finally joined. During the laying operations, close attention shall be given to open ends to ensure a completely open and clean line free of any obstructions. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent water from entering the line. 2.1.3. Prevention of Foreign Matter in the Pipeline The open end of the line shall be securely closed at the end of each day's work to prevent entrance of small animals or the introduction of foreign matter of any nature and shall not be reopened until work is resumed. Any obstructions remaining in the line after the completion thereof shall be removed.

The purpose of the welder qualification test is to determine the ability of the welder to make sound welds using previously qualified welding procedures. 1.2. This is a summary of the welder qualification requirements of API 1104 with the APE 1104 option of testing tensile specimens as nick break specimens. 1.3. Welders may be qualified using "plain" API 1104, i.e. tensile tests, with the permission of Engineering. Refer to API 1104 for the details of the required testing. 1.4. Refer to API 1104 for qualification of welding operators. 2. PRELIMINARY 2.1. The qualification of welders shall be conducted in the presence of the welding inspector. 2.2. No welder whose qualification is based on nondestructive testing may weld compressor station pipe and components. 2.3. It is preferred that all welders shall qualify by destructive testing. NOTE: Due to concerns that welders qualified by nondestructive testing might inadvertently be used to weld in compressor stations, welders qualifying by nondestructive testing must qualify for each job unless approved by Engineering. 2.4. API 1104 allows for both single qualification and multiple qualification. It is up to the welding inspector to determine how the welders are qualified. 2.4.1. Any welder who may reasonably be expected to weld on a variety of pipe sizes are strongly encouraged to be multiple qualified. Welding procedures ETC-A221A and ETC-A221A-F may be used on 12" OD, 0.250" minimum wall, to multiple qualify for all cellulosic welding. Welding procedures ETC-A223A and ETC-A223A-F may be used on 12" OD, 0.250" minimum wall, to multiple qualify for all low -hydrogen welding. Use all four procedures to multiple qualify a welder to weld on all pipe sizes with any of the Company shielded metal arc welding procedures, including the use of weld procedures that use both low -hydrogen and cellulosic electrodes to complete a single weld. 2.5. Before starting the qualification test, the welder shall be allowed reasonable time to adjust the welding equipment used in the test. The welder shall use the same welding techniques v ENERGY TR.AN5ER WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 3 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 and proceed at the same speed which will be used if the welder passes the qualification test and is permitted to do production welding. 3. SINGLE QUALIFICATION 3.1. For single qualification, a welder shall make a test weld using a qualified welding procedure to join pipe nipples or segments of pipe nipples. When segments of pipe nipples are used, they shall be supported so that typical flat, vertical, and overhead welds are produced. 3.1.1. The welder shall make a butt weld in the fixed position with the axis of the pipe either in the horizontal plane, in the vertical plane, or inclined from the horizontal plane at an angle not exceeding 45 degrees. 3.1.2. The preferred minimum diameter for welder qualification is 6-5/8 inches (168.3 mm) diameter. This provides a sufficient amount of weld for examination to evaluate the welder's ability and allows this test to apply towards future multiple qualification of the welder. 3.1.3. A welder making a single -qualification test for branch connections, fillet welds, or other similar configurations, shall follow the specific procedure specification. 3.1.4. The weld shall be acceptable if it meets the requirements of Paragraph 5 and either Paragraph 6 (preferred choice) or Paragraph 7 (not allowed for compressor station work). 3.2. A welder who has successfully completed the qualification test described in Paragraph 3.1 shall be qualified within the limits of the essential variables described below. If any of these essential variables are changed, the welder using the new procedure shall be re -qualified. 3.2.1. A change from one welding process to any other welding process or combination of welding processes; 3.2.2. A change in the direction of welding from vertical uphill to vertical downhill or vice versa; 3.2.3. A change of filler metal classification from either of Group 1 or 2 to Group 3, or from Group 3 to either Group 1 or 2, as shown in Table 1; 3.2.4. A change in diameter group from one group to another group. These groups, in outside diameter in inches (mm), are: 3.2.4.1. Under 2-318 (60.3); 3.2.4.2. From 2-3/8 to 12-3/4 (60.3 to 323.8), inclusive; and ENE9..GY'iRANSFER WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 4 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 3.2.4.3. Over 12-3/4 (323.8). 3.2.5. A change in nominal pipe wall thickness from one group to another group. Wall thickness groups in inches (mm) are: 3.2.5.1. Less than 3/16 (4.78); 3.2.5.2. From 3/16 to 3/4 (4.78 to 19.05), inclusive; and 3.2.5.3. Over 3/4 (19.05). 3.2.6. A change in position other than that already qualified for (for example: a change from rolled to fixed, or a change from vertical to horizontal or vice versa). A welder who successfully passes a butt weld qualification test in the fixed position with the axis inclined 45 degrees from the horizontal plane shall be qualified to do butt welds in all positions. 3.2.7. A change in the joint design (for example: the elimination of a backing strip or a change from V -bevel to U -bevel). 4. MULTIPLE QUALIFICATION 4.1. For multiple qualification, a welder shall successfully complete the two tests described as follows, using qualified procedures: 4.2. The welder shall first make a butt weld in the fixed position with the axis of the pipe either in the horizontal plane or inclined from the horizontal plane at an angle not exceeding 45 degrees. This butt weld shall be made on pipe having a diameter of at least 6-518 inches (168.3 mm) and a wall thickness of at least 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) without a backing strip. 4.3. The butt weld shall be acceptable if it meets the requirements of Paragraph 5 and either Paragraph 6 (preferred choice) or Paragraph 7 (not allowed for compressor station work). 4.4. For the second test, the welder shall lay out, cut, fit, and weld a full-size, branch -on -pipe connection. This test shall be made with pipe of at least 6-5/8 inches (168.3 mm) diameter and nominal wall thickness of at least 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). A full-size hole shall be cut in the run. 4.4.1. The weld shall be made with the run pipe axis in the horizontal position, and the branch pipe axis extending vertically downward from the run. 4.4.2. The finished weld shall exhibit a neat uniform workmanlike appearance. Nros E'NERGY7PANSF.ER WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 5 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 4.4.3. The weld must exhibit complete penetration around the entire circumference. Completed root beads shall not contain any burn -through exceeding 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). The sum of the maximum dimensions of separate unrepaired burn -through in any continuous 12 inch (304.8 mm) length of weld shall not exceed 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). 4.4.4. The fillet weld shall be acceptable if it meets the requirements of Paragraph 6. 4.5. A welder who has successfully completed the butt weld qualification test on pipe having a diameter of 12-3/4 inches (323.8 mm) or larger and a full size branch connection weld on pipe 12-3/4 inches (323.8 mm) or larger in diameter shall be qualified to weld in all positions, on all wall thicknesses, joint designs, fittings, and on all pipe diameters. A welder who has successfully completed the butt weld and branch connection requirements on pipe less than 12-3/4 inches (323.8 mm) in diameter shall be considered qualified to weld in all positions, on all wall thicknesses, joint designs, fittings, and on all pipe diameters equal to or less than that which the welder used in the qualification tests. If any of the following essential variables are changed in a welding procedure specification, the welder using the new procedure shall be re -qualified. 4.5.1. A change from one welding process to any,other welding process or combination of welding processes. 4.5.2. A change in the direction of welding from vertical uphill to vertical downhill or vice versa. 4.5.3. A change of filler metal classification from Group 1 or 2 to Group 3, or from Group 3 to Group 1 or 2 (see Table 1). 5. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF A QUALIFICATION WELD 5.1. WARNING: These visual examination requirements are different than those for a production weld. They are also different than those for the branch weld made as part of a multiple qualification test. 5.2. For a qualification test weld to meet the requirements for visual examination, the weld must be free of cracks, inadequate penetration, un -repaired burn through, and other defects, and must present a neat, workmanlike appearance. 5.3. Undercutting adjacent to the final bead on the outside of the pipe shall not exceed 1132 inch (0.79 mm) in depth or 12.5 percent of the pipe wall thickness, whichever is smaller, and there shall not be more than 2 inches (50.8 mm) of undercutting in any continuous 12 inch (304.8 mm) length of weld. 5.4. When automatic or semiautomatic welding is used, filler wire protruding into the inside of the pipe shall be held to a minimum. yrweENERGY -TRANSFER. WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 6 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 5.5. Failure to meet the requirements of this paragraph shall be adequate cause to eliminate additional testing. 6. DESTRUCTIVE TESTING 6.1. To test butt welds, specimens shall be cut from each test weld. If the test weld is a complete circumferential weld then the locations from which the specimens should be removed are shown in Figure 1. If the test weld consists of segments of pipe nipples, an approximately equal number of specimens shall be removed from each segment. The total number of specimens and the tests to which each shall be submitted are shown in Table 2. 6.2. The specimens shall be air-cooled to ambient temperature before testing. 6.3. For pipe 1-5/16 inch (33.4 mm) and smaller, one full pipe section specimen may be substituted for the root bend and nick break specimens. 6.4. The procedure for the nick break testing of butt welds is as follows: 6.4.1. The specimens (Figure 4) shall be approximately 9 inches 230 mm) long and 1 inch (25 mm) wide, and they may be machine cut or oxygen cut. They shall be notched with a hacksaw on each side of the center of the weld and each notch shall be approximately 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) deep. 6.4.2. Nick break specimens prepared in this manner from welds made with certain automatic and semiautomatic processes may fail through the pipe instead of the weld. When previous testing experience indicates failures through the pipe are to be expected, the external reinforcement may be notched to a depth not to exceed 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) measured from the original weld surface. 6.4.3_ The specimens shall be broken by pulling in a tensile machine, by supporting the ends and striking the center, or by supporting one end and striking the other end with a hammer. The exposed area of the fracture shall be at feast 3/4 inch (19.0 mm) wide. 6.4.4. The dimensions of the discontinuities shall be measured as shown in Figure 5. 6.4.5. The exposed surfaces of each specimen shall show complete penetration and fusion. 6.4.6. The combined area of all gas pockets shall not exceed 2% of the exposed nick break fracture area with the greatest dimension of any gas pocket not to exceed 1/16 inch (1.59 mm). 6.4.7. Slag inclusions shall not be more than 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) in depth nor 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) or one-half the nominal wall thickness in length, whichever is shorter. ..w `r`NE2GY ieRAN5`ER, WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 7 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 6.4.8. There shall be at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of sound weld metal between adjacent slag inclusions. 6.4.9. If any specimen shows discontinuities exceeding those allowed above, the welder shall be disqualified. 6.4.10. Fisheyes, as defined in AWS A3.0, are not cause for rejection. 6.5. The procedure for the bend testing of butt welds is as follows: 6.5.1. The root and face bend specimens (Figure 6) shall be approximately 9 inches (230 mm) long by 1 inch (25 mm) wide and the long edges should be rounded. They may be machine cut or oxygen cut. The cover and root bead reinforcement shall be removed flush with the surface of the specimen. These surfaces shalt be smooth and any scratches which exist shall be light and transverse to the weld. 6.5.2. The side bend specimens (Figure 7) shall be approximately 9 inches (230 mm) long by 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide and the long edges should be rounded. They shall be machine cut or they may be oxygen cut to approximately a 314 inch (19.0 mm) width and then machined or ground to the 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) width. The sides shall be smooth and parallel. The cover and root bead reinforcements shall be removed flush with the surfaces of the specimen. 6.5.3. The specimens shall be bent in a guided bend test jig similar to that shown in Figure 8. Each specimen shall be placed on the die with the weld at mid -span. Face bend specimens shall be placed with the face of the weld directed toward the gap. Root bend specimens shall be placed with the root of the weld directed toward the gap. Side bend specimens shall be placed with the face of the weld at 90 degrees to the gap. The plunger shall be forced into the gap until the curvature of the specimen is approximately U-shaped. 6.5.4. Each specimen subjected to the bend test shall meet the following requirements: 6.5.4.1. The bend test shall be considered acceptable if no crack or other defect exceeding 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) or one-half the nominal thickness, whichever is smaller, in any direction is present in the weld, or between the weld and the fusion zone after bending. 6.5.4.2. Cracks which originate along the edges of the specimen during testing and which are less than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) measured in any direction shall not be cause for rejection unless obvious defects are observed. 6.5.5. Welds in high test pipe may not bend the full U -shape. These shall be considered acceptable if the specimens which crack are broken apart and their exposed surfaces meet the requirements of the nick break test. ENE R, i FANSFE WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 8 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 6.5.6. The evaluation allowed by 6.5.5 shall be allowed only if the welding inspector is satisfied that the cracking is due to the pipe and not the welder. 6.5.7. Should one of the bend test specimens fail to meet these requirements and, in the opinion of the welding inspector, the lack of penetration observed is not representative of the weld, the test specimen may be replaced by an additional specimen cut adjacent to the one that failed. The welder shall be disqualified if the additional specimen also shows defects exceeding the specified limits. 6.5.8. If any specimen shows defects exceeding those above, the welder shall be disqualified. 6.6. The procedure for the tensile testing of butt welds in pipe 1-5/16 inch (33.4 mm) and smaller is as follows: 6.6.1. Tensile test specimens shall be broken under tensile load. The tensile strength is not required to be determined for welder qualification. 6.6.2. If the full section specimen breaks in the weld or at the junction of the weld and the parent metal and fail to meet the requirements for soundness set forth in the nick break test, the welder shall be disqualified. 6.7. The procedure for testing of fillet welds is as follows: 6.7.1. The locations from which the specimens are to be removed are shown in Figure 2. The specimens shall be air-cooled to ambient temperature before testing. 6.7.2. The specimens shall be prepared as shown in Figure 3. They may be machine cut or oxygen cut. They shall be sufficiently long so that they can be broken in the weld. 6.7.3. For pipe under 2-3/8 inches (60.3 mm) in diameter, it may be necessary to make two test welds to obtain the required number of test specimens. The specimens shall be air-cooled to ambient temperature prior to testing. 6.7.4. The specimens shall be broken by supporting both ends of the specimen and striking the center or by supporting one end and striking the other. The specimens shall be broken so that the root of the weld is subjected to the greater strain. 6.7.5. Each specimen shall meet the following requirements: 6.7.5.1. The exposed surfaces of the specimen shall show complete penetration. 6.7.5.2. The combined area of all gas pockets shall not exceed 2% of the exposed nick break fracture area with the greatest dimension of any gas pocket not to exceed 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) ▪ E▪ NERGY fRA Js WELDING MANUAL Procedure ETWM-100 Date January 18, 2005 Page No. 9 of 19 Title Welder Qualification to API 1104 6.7.5.3. Slag inclusions shall not be greater than 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) in depth, or 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) or one-half the nominal wall thickness of the thinner member in length, whichever is the smaller, and shall be separated by at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of sound metal (see Figure 5). 7. QUALIFICATION BY RADIOGRAPHY (BUTT WELDS ONLY) WARNING: This option is not allowed by DOT for welding to be performed, either in the field or in a shop, on compressor station piping or components. 7.1. The procedures and requirements for the radiographic inspection of test welds shall be as follows: 7.1.1. Radiographs shall be made of each of the test welds. The welder shall be disqualified if any of his test welds do not meet the radiographic acceptance standards contained in API Standard 1104 . 7.1.2. Radiographic inspection shall not be used for the purpose of locating sound areas or areas containing discontinuities and subsequently making tests of such areas to qualify or disqualify a welder. 8. RETESTING 8.1. lf, in the mutual opinion of the welding inspector and contractor representatives, failure of a welder to pass the qualification test was because of unavoidable conditions or conditions beyond his control, such a welder may be given a second opportunity to qualify. 8.2. Welders who fail to qualify shall not be allowed to test again for 6 months without submitting proof of subsequent welder training acceptable to the Manager of Laboratory Services. 9. RECORDS 9.1. A record shall be made of the tests given to each welder and of the detailed results of each test, whether pass or fail. 9.2. The welder test records are to be submitted to the Welding/NDE/Material Testing Group.
