Part I Project Description
EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc. (EnCana) proposes to construct an 8" water pipeline and
related facilities (including valves and electric driven pumping equipment). The
proposed project will allow EnCana to develop and gather natural gas produced from the
Grass Mesa and Hunter Mesa Federal Units and deliver to multiple markets and provide
for the sale of developed federal minerals. This action will allow adjacent federal
mineral acres to become economic, offer opportunities for National energy self -
dependency, and allow operator income.
The proposed pipeline will deliver fresh water from the Last Chance Ditch to the Hunter
Mesa Water Treatment Facility. This water will be used, along with water processed at
the Hunter Mesa facility, for continued well drilling and completion work. The volume
of water transported will be approximately 504,000 gallons/day (350 gallons per minute,
12,000 barrels per day, 1.547 acre-feet per day).
The proposed pipeline will begin at the proposed pump station located at the Last Chance
Irrigation Ditch at 700 Buckhorn Drive in Rifle, CO. in the S W/4, SW/4 of Section 14,
Township 6 South, Range 93 West. The EnCana River Water Pump Station will consist
of an electric -motor driven vertical turbine pump within a small building (approximately
20' X 20') located on private land. The proposed pipeline route is shown in Part III of
this document.
A pump building is planned for the proposed River Water Pump Station and will be
designed to enclose the water pump and associated electrical controls. The pump
building will protect the control systems from weather and corrosion as well as providing
sound damping for the water pump. The building is a static structure and integral part of
the finished pipeline. As such, it will have the same general characteristics as other
permanent structures associated with the proposed pipeline, in terms of use and hours of
operation. The pump building itself will generate no noise or dust and will have minimal
visual impact. An application for a building permit for the pump building will be
submitted to the Garfield County Building and Planning Department once the building
design is complete.
The proposed 8" pipeline is approximately 31,024' in total length; approximately 9,812'
is located on federal land, none on state land, and approximately 21,212' on private land.
The proposed pipeline will be constructed with of 8", 0.219 -inch wall thickness, Grade
X-42 steel pipe with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 740 psig.
A 70 -foot wide corridor is proposed for construction purposes. Upon completion of the
project, a permanent 50 -foot wide right-of-way, containing approximately 12.3 federal
acres, has been requested for operational and maintenance purposes. As of the time of
submittal of this application, verbal surface use agreements with the appropriate private
property owners have been made. The written agreements are pending and copies of
these agreements will be delivered to Garfield County upon receipt.
• •
A flagged survey has been established along the proposed route. The surveyed route is
the shortest, most direct route and will thereby minimize damage to federal lands. The
pipeline will run from the Last Chance Ditch at 700 Buckhorn Drive in Rifle generally
east toward the Garfield County Airport, then turning south through Section 23 generally
parallel to West Mamm Creek Road (Garfield County Road 319). The pipeline route
leaves West Mamm Creek Road in the NW/4 SE/4 of Section 26 and follows an existing
field road into Section 36, and then parallels existing pipelines and roads to EnCana's
Hunter Mesa Water Treatment Plant in the SE/4 NE/4 of Section 1, Township 7South,
Range 93 West, Garfield County, Colorado. A minimum distance of 25' from the
centerline of existing foreign pipelines and 10' from EnCana pipelines will be maintained
at all times. All sections of the proposed pipeline will be buried at least 5' below grade,
except at road crossings where the depth will be increased to 6'.
EnCana shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as
they relate to public health, safety and environmental protection in the construction,
operation, and maintenance of this facility. No toxic substances will be stored or used on
the right-of-way. All safety measures have been considered in the design, construction,
operation and maintenance of the facility. EnCana will have inspectors present during
construction.
All associated road and utility permits will be secured from the appropriate regulatory
agency prior to construction. The necessary permits to be submitted for the proposed
pipeline include:
- Army Corps of Engineers — permit to cross the drainages along the proposed
ROW
Garfield County Engineer's Office — permit to cross County Road 319
BLM 299 Form. See Application in Part VIII.
United States Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 Section 404
Application. See Application in Part IX.
During the construction phase of the proposed project, the top 6 inches of topsoil in a
portion of the right-of-way will be removed, conserved during excavation, and reused as
cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation. Trenching will be
performed with a trencher. Sideboom tractors will be used to place the pipeline in the
trench after the pipe has been welded and coated. After the pipeline is in place, the
trench will be backfilled using an angle dozer or auger. If rocks are present, the pipe will
be padded and shaded with a bucket shaker or an "Ozzie Padder", there are to be no
berms. No foreign rock to the surface will remain exposed.
• •
Part II Impact Statement
The proposed pipeline has been planned and designed for a number of beneficial reasons.
The proposed pipeline will transport water in a safe and innocuous manner in comparison
to other methods of water hauling. The proposed pipeline will shorten truck trips and
lessen the need for truck travel to the Hunter Mesa facility. The operation of the
proposed pipeline will not differ significantly from the surrounding oil and gas
exploration and production related land uses.
The pipeline will be in continuous use and operation 24 -hours per day during the
irrigation season, approximately March until November, each year. The line would be
drained for freeze protection during winter months. Maintenance and operation activities
will occur as needed, however, the majority of activity associated with the proposed
pipeline will occur during normal business hours.
During pipeline and facility construction, all equipment and vehicular access into the
pipeline project will be confined to approved existing roads and the established right-of-
way corridor. No major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. All
working areas will be confined to the requested right-of-way.
During typical usage the proposed pipeline and associate facilities are expected to require
a minimal amount of vehicle trips for operation and maintenance purposes. Vehicles will
operate primarily during daylight hours and will travel on existing private and public
roads that already provide access in the West Mamm Creek area. Therefore the new
facility is not expected to require specific improvements to the existing roads.
A cultural resource inventory for the proposed route has been completed. The report has
been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management, Glenwood Springs Field Office in
Glenwood Springs, Colorado. If any cultural remains, monument sites, objects or
antiquities subject to the Antiques Act of June 8, 1906, or Archaeological Resources
Protection Act of 1979, are discovered, the activities shall cease immediately and the
responsible authorized officer shall be notified. If any fossils are discovered during
construction, the operator shall cease construction immediately and notify the authorized
BLM officer so as to determine the significance of the discovery.
The proposed pipeline and associated facilities will not affect area air quality as none of
the permanent structures will emit air pollutants. A federal or state emission permit will
not be required for this proposed project.
The aboveground structures related to the proposed pipeline shall be painted to blend
with the surrounding landscape. Visual quality objectives for the land management unit
shall not be adversely impacted.
The proposed pipeline crosses numerous ephemeral drainages; however, surface or
C/c.)47v‘.°
ground water quality and quantity should not be affected. The facility design will
preclude any pollution to enter surface run-off. There will be no sewage or solid waste
generated by the proposed pipeline or associated facilities.
b/(Y°
The pipeline will be hydro-tested prior to being placed in service. Prior to any discharge,
hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if necessary, to ensure that the
a water meets local, state or federal water quality standards. Prior to discharge of
hydrostatic testing water from the pipeline, EnCana will design and install a suitable
energy dissipater at the outlets, and design and install suitable channel protection
structures necessary to ensure that there will be no erosion or scouring of natural channels
within the affected watershed as a result of such discharge. Sandbags, rock, or other
materials or objects installed shall be removed from the site upon completion of
hydrostatic testing.
Noise from the construction activities will create a temporary disruption of ambient
conditions; however, any disruption should be of relatively short duration. The proposed
water pump station is expected to emanate low-level noise and possibly minimal amounts
of vibration. The planned pump building will aid in mitigating this noise and vibration.
The sound level of noise emanating from the facility will not exceed the 75 decibel
maximum set forth in Colorado Revised Statute 25-12-103. As the planned pump station
location is in an industrial/commercial area remote, noise will not be a nuisance to area
residents. The vibration, if any, should be localized to a small area immediately
surrounding the pump. If, in the unlikely event, nuisance noise, vibration, or odors are
emanated by the facility, additional measures will be taken to control them.
The construction of the proposed facility will not have any significant visual impact on
the surrounding environment. Any actual construction impacts will be temporary. The
visual impact of the completed pipeline and facilities to the area will be negligible due to
the minimal amount of surface equipment associated with the facilities. Landscaping
information is provided in Part VII.
The facilities and structures associated with the proposed pipeline will be protected by
fencing or other means to limit access to authorized operation personnel only. Signage
for the proposed pipeline and facilities will include the company name and address as
well as a 24-hour toll-free emergency phone number.
The proposed pipeline and associated facilities will occupy approximately 50 acres
overall. According to wildlife distribution maps from the Colorado Department of
Wildlife, a portion of the pipeline is located within summer rangeland for mule deer and
elk and is within migration corridors for these animals. The characteristics of the
proposed buried pipeline will not block wildlife migration routes.
Electrical power will be installed at the water pumping station to power the pumping
equipment. No other public utilities will be needed for the pipeline or associated
facilities.
• •
The expected life of the EnCana River Water Pipeline is 30 years. Reclamation of the
facility is outlined in Part VII of this document.

Part VI Soil Features
The United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of
Rifle Area, Colorado provides the following information about the soils and environment
in the area of the facility:
45-Morval-Tridell complex, 6 to 25 percent slopes. These moderately sloping
to hilly soils are on alluvial fans and sides of mesas. Elevation ranges from 6,500
to 8,000 feet. The soils formed in reworked alluvium derived from basalt and
sandstone. The average annual precipitation is about 15 inches, the average
annual air temperature is about 44 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is
about 100 days.
The Morval soil makes up about 55 percent of the unit, and the Tridell soil makes
up about 30 percent. The Morval soil is on the less sloping parts of the landscape,
and the Tridell soil is on the sides of mesas.
The Morval soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown
loam about 5 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is brown and light brown
clay loam and stony clay loam about 12 inches thick, and the lower part is light
brown stony clay loam about 10 inches thick. The substratum is pink stony loam.
Permeability of the Morval soil is moderate, and available water capacity is
moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the
erosion hazard is moderate.
The Tridell soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown
stony loam 10 inches thick. The upper part of the underlying material is brown
very stony loam 11 inches thick, and the lower part is pinkish white very stony
loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Tridell soil is moderately rapid, and available water capacity
is low. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the
erosion hazard is moderate.
Included with these soils in mapping are small areas of Villa Grove and Zoltay
soils on the steeper parts of the landscape. These areas make up about 15 percent
of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for grazing.
The native vegetation on the Morval soil is mainly needleandthread, wheatgrass,
and sagebrush. The native vegetation on the Tridell soil is mainly pinyon, Utah
juniper, and some Rocky Mountain juniper and an understory mostly of
wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, needleandthread, junegrass, serviceberry,
bitterbrush, mountainmahogany, and big sagebrush.
• •
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. Properly managing
grazing maintains and improves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor
condition on gently sloping Morval soils. Bluebunch wheatgrass, western
wheatgrass, and needleandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and
drilling the seed are good practices. Reducing brush improves range that is
producing more shrubs than are normally found in the potential plant community.
Properly managing the vegetation on the Tridell soil maintains wood production
and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and juniper improves grazing and
provides firewood, posts, and Christmas trees.
The Tridell soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce
8 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. Special care is needed to prevent erosion
during harvest. The low avail- able water capacity affects survival of seedlings.
Mule deer, wild turkey, and squirrel find habitat on these soils.
Community development is limited by large stones. Cut slopes are difficult to
revegetate because of the stones and because of the shrink -swell potential and
frost action of the Morval soil.
This complex is in capability subclass VIe, nonirrigated.
3 -Arvada loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes.
4 -Arvada loam, 6 to 20 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is
on fans and high terraces. Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil
formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sandstone and shale. The average
annual precipitation is about 12 inches, average annual air temperature is about 48
degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days.
Typically, the surface layer is moderately alkaline, pale brown loam about 3
inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The
substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Limon, Kim, and Heldt soils.
Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity is high. Effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low.
Surface runoff is moderately rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe.
This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly sagebrush, greasewood, and
wheatgrass.
• •
When range condition deteriorates, grasses decrease and weedy forbs, cheatgrass,
big sagebrush, and greasewood increase. Properly managing grazing maintains
and improves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition.
Western wheatgrass and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigating new seedings is
necessary for successful establishment. Brush should not be reduced because
grass production is low and some desirable native shrubs could be destroyed.
Cottontail and pheasants find shelter on this soil if they can obtain food in
surrounding areas.
Use of this soil for sanitary facilities and as a source of construction material is
limited by the large amounts of clay and salts. This soil is corrosive to steel and
concrete. High shrink -swell potential, salinity, and steep slopes limit community
development.
This soil is in capability subclass VIIs, nonirrigated.
67-Torriorthents-Rock outcrop complex, steep. This broadly defined unit
consists of exposed sandstone and shale bedrock and stony soils that are shallow
to moderately deep over sandstone and shale and stony basaltic alluvium. Areas
of this complex occur throughout the survey area. The soils and outcrops are
moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent.
Torriorthents make up about 60 percent of this complex, and Rock outcrop makes
up 25 percent. The Torriorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the
Rock outcrop.
Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and contain variable amounts of
gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones
weathered from the higher -lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colorado River,
stones and cobbles of basalt are on the surface.
The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some
areas are covered with basaltic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out-
crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area.
Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ildefonso, Lazear, Ansari,
Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihill soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 15
percent of this map unit.
This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation.
Because of the stones on the surface, the Rock outcrop, and the steep slope, this
complex is unsuited to crops.
• •
The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass, Indian ricegrass,
needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush, mountain mahogany and an overstory of
pinyon and juniper.
The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited
grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and
provides firewood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe erosion hazard, and
slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management.
Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a
few elk also find food and cover on this complex.
Community development is limited by the Rock outcrop, steep slopes, and
stoniness. These limitations can be overcome by appropriate design and
construction.
This complex is in capability subclass VIIe, nonirrigated.
34-Ildefonso stony loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, hilly
to steep soil is on mesa breaks, sides of valleys, and alluvial fans. A small portion
of this unit is on very steep to extremely steep mesa escarpments. Elevation
ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. This soil formed in mixed alluvium derived
primarily from basalt. This soil has a thin intermittent cap of reddish eolian
material. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual
air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about
125 days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches thick. The
underlying material is white, very strongly calcareous very stony loam to a depth
of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Potts and Ascalon soils on
less steep and depressional positions. These areas make up about 5 to 15 percent
of the map unit.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Effective
rooting depth is more than 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is severe.
Ildefonso soil is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat. The native
vegetation on this soil is mainly pinyon and Utah juniper. The understory consists
of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and big
sagebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs
and shrubs increase. Properly managing the vegetation maintains wood
• •
production and ground cover. The value for grazing is low because of steep slopes
and tree cover. Firewood, posts, and Christmas trees can be harvested on the more
gently sloping areas.
This soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce 9
cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capacity affects
survival of tree seedlings. Steep slopes and severe erosion hazard affect
harvesting.
Mule deer, chukar, wild turkey, gray squirrel, and cot- tontail rabbit find habitat
on this soil.
Community development is limited by large stones and steep slopes. Structures to
divert runoff are needed for roads.
This soil is in capability subclass VIIe, nonirrigated.
50 -Olney loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes.
51 -Olney loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes. This deep well drained, moderately
sloping to rolling soil is on alluvial fans and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges
from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone and
shale. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches. the average annual air
temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the frost -free period is about 125 days.
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown loan about 12 inches thick. The
subsoil is grayish brown am light gray sandy clay loam about 21 inches thick.
The substratum is light gray gravelly sandy clay loam am very gravelly sandy
loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Heldt, Potts, and Kim soils
that have slopes of 6 to 12 percent. These areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the
map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective
rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is moderate.
This soil is used mainly for irrigated hay, fruits, and grazing. Grass -legume
mixtures and apples, peaches, and apricots are grown.
This soil is irrigated by furrows and flooding. Sprinklers are also suitable. Drop
structures in irrigation ditches help to control water and prevent excessive ditch
erosion. Keeping a grass or legume cover on this soil at least three-fourths of the
time controls erosion.
• •
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat- grass, needleandthread, and
sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is
in poor condition, undesirable weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condition. Reducing brush
improves the range. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Crested
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seeding.
Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices.
Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, and some mule deer find habitat on this soil.
Community development and recreation are limited by steep slopes and low
strength.
This soil is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated and nonirrigated.
55 -Potts loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, moderately
sloping soil is on mesas, benches, and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from
5,000 to 7,000 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or
basalt. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air
temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120
days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is
reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white
loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Olney, Kim, and Ildefonso
soils that have slopes of 3 to 6 percent. These areas make up 1 0 to 15 percent of
the map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is high. Effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is
moderate.
This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops and hay and for dryland farming (fig.
10). Alfalfa, small grains, and grass -legume hay are grown. Small areas are used
for grazing.
These soils are usually irrigated by flooding. Drop structures in irrigation ditches,
grassed waterways, and minimum tillage prevent serious erosion. Irrigation water
should be carefully managed to avoid piping and erosion. Cover crops or stubble
mulching also help to limit erosion in dryfarmed areas.
• •
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and
sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is
in poor condition, undesirable weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condition. Reducing brush
improves the range. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Crested
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seeding.
Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices.
Pheasant, mourning dove, cottontail rabbit, some mule deer, and squirrel find
habitat on this soil.
Community development and recreation are limited by low strength and the
shrink -swell potential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to overcome these
limitations. Community sewage systems will be needed if the population density
increases.
This soil is in capability subclasses IIIe, irrigated, and IVe, nonirrigated.
58-Potts-lldefonso complex, 12 to 25 percent slopes. These strongly sloping to
hilly soils are on mesas, alluvial fans, and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from
5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone,
shale, or basalt. The Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic
alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The aver- age annual precipitation
is about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and
the average frost -free period is about 120 days.
The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit, and the Ildefonso soil makes
up about 30 percent. The Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the
Ildefonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes.
The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam
about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches
thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and available water capacity is high.
Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the
erosion hazard is moderate.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown
stony loam about 8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very
stony loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is
i •
medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. Included with this soil in mapping
are small areas of Morval and Lazear soils. The Morval soils are at the higher
elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are on ridge crests and steep
mountainsides. These areas snake up 10 to 18 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and
sagebrush. The native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon and Utah
juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry,
bitterbrush, and sagebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs
and shrubs increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range
con- dition on both soils. Seeding improves range in poor condition in less sloping
areas of the Potts soil. Blue- bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and
needleandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing the seedbed and drilling the
seed are good practices. Controlling brush on the Potts soil improves range that is
producing more shrubs than are normally found in the potential plant community.
Properly managing the understory vegetation on the Ildefonso soil maintains
wood production and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and juniper improves
grazing and provides firewood, posts, and Christmas trees.
The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can
produce 9 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an
average diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capacity
affects survival of tree seedlings.
Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbit, and some pheasant
find habitat on these soils.
The steep slopes limit community development. Structures are needed to divert
runoff to minimize gullying and erosion.
This complex is in capability subclass VIe, nonirrigated.

Part V Fire Control Measures
General
• All facility or operations personnel are instructed as to:
Be aware of local area fire danger for each day
Location of fire control equipment
Proper operation of fire control equipment
Emergency procedures and how to call for additional resources
Welding & Hot Work Operations
• A minimum of one person is dedicated to act as a fire watch during welding or hot
work operations with a fire extinguisher at hand.
• Welding shields are used during grinding operations to prevent sparks from leaving
work areas and igniting vegetation.
• Water trucks are used to wet down ground and nearby vegetation, as conditions
dictate.
• At the close of each day, personnel inspect the area of welding or hot work activities
for any smoldering debris and any conditions conducive to fires.
Communications
• EnCana or Contractor vehicles are typically equipped with cellular communications
on board.
In the event of a fire
• In the event of a fire, all personnel and appropriate equipment on site will be
committed to fire containment and control.
• The BLM and appropriate fire authorities will be notified immediately.
• Direction of fire control efforts will be transferred to appropriate fire fighting agency
personnel upon their arrival on site

Part VII Landscaping and Reclamation Plans
Landscaping/Post Construction Activities
A. Disturbed areas. All disturbed areas will be final graded to as close as
possible to its original condition.
B. Erosion. Erosion control structures such as water bars or "kicker dikes" will
be constructed. Water bars will be placed approximately every 25' on steep
slopes to prevent erosion over the right-of-way. Steep slope breaks will also
be made impassable to vehicular traffic by using deep waterbars, leaving them
rough.
C. Weed Control. EnCana shall be responsible for weed control on disturbed
areas within the limits of the right-of-way. EnCana will be responsible for
consultation with the authorized officer and/or local authorities for acceptable
weed control methods (within limits imposed in the grant stipulation).
D. Drainages. The banks of drainage crossings will be returned and stabilized to
their original slope to avoid ramping and opening them to livestock and
vehicle traffic.
E. Visuals. Where applicable, the upper rim rock will be replaced to discourage
traffic and mitigate visual scarring.
F. Painting. All aboveground facilities will be painted with the Carlsbad Canyon
2.5 Y 6/2 color or similar color to blend in with the surrounding area.
G. Seeding. EnCana will seed all disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor with
the recommended seed mixtures as provided by the BLM, and summarized in
the following table:

planted over the disturbed area. Where drilling is not possible, seed shall be broadcast
and the area shall be raked or chained to cover the seed. When broadcasting the seed, the
pounds per acre will be doubled. Steep slopes will not be drill seeded so to avoid
establishing rills. The seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is established as
determined by the authorized officer. Evaluation of growth will not be made before
completion of the first growing season after seeding. The authorized officer will be
notified a minimum of 5 days prior to the seeding of the project.
Seeding will occur during spring or late fall seasons when ground frost is not present.
•
Reclamation
The expected life of the EnCana River Water Pipeline is 30 years. Reclamation will
consist of the following:
Removal of all surface equipment and appurtenances.
Restoration and re -contouring of grade to approximate original conditions.
Replacement of stockpiled topsoil.
Compliance with all prevailing Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission and Garfield County regulations governing final reclamation.
Prior to termination of the right-of-way, EnCana shall contact the authorized
Federal officer to arrange a pre -termination conference. This conference will
be held to review the termination provision of the grant.

RE: EnCana's proposed River Water Pipeline Project on Hunter Mesa near Rifle, Colorado.
Dear Mark Gilfillan:
This letter presents the results of SWCA Environmental Consultants' (SWCA's) delineation of
waters of the US for EnCana's River Water Pipeline (RWPL), and requests project approval
under the US Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12. A legal and physical
description of the RWPL Project appears on the permit application form (Form ENG 4345).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
EnCana proposes to build an 8.625 -in., outer -diameter, water pipeline between the Last Chance
Ditch and its Hunter Mesa water treatment facility under NWP 12. EnCana has existing water
rights, and the water will be removed from the Last Chance Ditch (Attachment B).
The RWPL would cross Dry Creek (a large ephemeral wash) in the NW 1/ of the NE 1/4 Sec. 26,
T6S, R93W (see Attachment B). This intermittent stream would be directionally bored so as not
to alter any of the channel characteristics (see typical cross section, Attachment C). A final
directional bore plan will be submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers' Grand Junction Office
when the design is finalized. The two other ephemeral washes delineated in Attachment B would
be crossed by open -cut trench.
The water pipeline would be buried to a depth of 48 inches, with pre -construction contours
restored and the ROW reseeded with a native seed mixture. Ephemeral wash crossings would be
rip -rapped, if necessary, to ensure that scour would not occur, resulting in the exposure of the
buried water pipeline. Refer to Attachment D for a list of additional erosion control measures and
construction best management practices described under EnCana's storm water management
plan. No discharge of dredged or fill materials would occur under this project.
WATERS OF THE US SURVEYS
One ephemeral wash, Dry Creek, and two unnamed ephemeral washes were observed during the
waters of the US surveys. The locations of these washes appear in Attachment B.
• •
The Dry Creek channel is approximately 6 feet wide (bank to bank) at the proposed RWPL
crossing. Based on the Rifle USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle map, Dry Creek is connected to the
Colorado River. However, given the amount of upland vegetation found in the bottom of the
wash (Photos 1 and 2), it does not appear that the Dry Creek produces enough flow to reach the
Colorado River. As stated above, this stream will be crossed by directional bore, and the channel
will not be affected.
The two ephemeral washes delineated in Attachment B were less than 3 feet wide from bank to
bank and contained upland vegetation in and along the channel edges. Based on their coarse-
textured, vegetated bottoms, these washes do not likely produce enough flow to reach the
Colorado River. These two washes will be crossed using an open -cut trench.
Other washes delineated on the Rifle USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle map did not a have defined
bed and banks, and displayed upland vegetation in their bottoms. Therefore, they were not
included in this survey report. Upland vegetation in the wash bottoms included big sagebrush
(Artemisia tridentata) and rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus).
The pump station location is located along the Last Chance Ditch (Attachment B; Photo 3).
Waters of the US will not be affected at this site.

SUMMARY
Based on our field surveys and the avoidance measures built into the RWPL Project design, no
fill would occur in waters of the US under this project. Additionally, based on the channel
characteristics observed during the field surveys, flow in these ephemeral washes is negligible
and would not reach the Colorado River during most years. EnCana requests approval of its
RWPL Project 404 Permit application under NWP 12.
Thank you for reviewing our application. If you have any questions, or require additional data,
please contact me at your earliest convenience.

"EXHIBIT A"
CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
ENCANA RIVER WATER PIPELINE
(PERMIT APPLICATION NUMBER)
ENCANA OIL & GAS (USA), INC. applies for a water pipeline right-of-way under Section 1761 of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1701 et. seq).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. ENCANA OIL & GAS (USA), INC. (EnCana) proposes to construct an 8" water pipeline
and related facilities (including valves and electric driven pumping equipment). The
proposed project will allow EnCana to develop and gather natural gas produced from the
Grass Mesa and Hunter Mesa Federal Units and deliver to multiple markets and provide
for the sale of developed federal minerals. This action will allow adjacent federal mineral
acres to become economic, offer opportunities for National energy self -dependency, and
allow operator income.
B. The proposed pipeline will consist of 8", 0.219 inch wall thickness, Grade X-42, MAOP of
740 psig.
C. The proposed pipeline will begin at the Last Chance Irrigation Ditch near Buckhorn Drive
in Rifle, CO. in the SW/4, SW/4, Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 93 West.
D. The proposed 8" pipeline is approximately 31,024' in total length; approximately 9,812' is
located on federal land, none on state land, and approximately 21,212' on private land.
E. A 70 -foot wide corridor is requested at this time for construction purposes. Upon
completion of the project, a permanent 50 -foot wide right-of-way, containing
approximately 12.3 federal acres, is requested for operational and maintenance
purposes.
The proposed pump station would be located in Garfield County, Colorado described as
SW/4 SW/4, Section 14, T6S, R93W on private land.
No additional staging areas on Federal surface are requested for construction operations.
F. The length of term for the right-of-way is requested for a period of thirty years.
G. The pipeline will be in operation during the irrigation season, approximately March until
November, each year. The line would be drained for freeze protection during winter
months.
H. The volume of water transported will be approximately 504,000 gallons/day (350 gallons
per minute, 12,000 barrels per day, 1.547 acre-feet per day).
Construction will begin immediately upon BLM authorization.
II. PRE -CONSTRUCTION
EnCana River Water Pipeline Page 1 of 7
• •
EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
A. A flagged survey has been established along the proposed route. The surveyed route is
the shortest, most direct route and will thereby minimize damage to federal lands. The
pipeline will run from the Last Chance Ditch near Buckhorn Drive in Rifle generally east
toward the Rifle Airport, then turning south through Section 23 generally parallel to West
Mamm Creek Road (Garfield County Road 319). The pipeline route leaves West Mamm
Creek Road in the NW/4 SE/4 of Sec. 26 and follows an existing field road into Sec. 36,
and then parallels existing pipelines and roads to EnCana's Hunter Mesa Water
Treatment Plant in the SE/4 NE/4 of Section 1, T7S, R93W, Garfield County, Colorado.
A minimum distance of 25' from the centerline of existing foreign pipelines and 10' from
EnCana pipelines will be maintained at all times. The pipeline will be at least 5' deep,
except at road crossings where the depth will be 6'.
The EnCana River Water Pump Station will consist of an electric -motor driven vertical
turbine pump within a small building (approximately 20' X 20') located on private land in
SW/4, SW/4 Sec. 14, T6S, R93W.
All working areas will be confined to the requested right-of-way.
B. EnCana shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as
they relate to public health, safety and environmental protection in the construction,
operation, and maintenance of this facility. No toxic substances will be stored or used on
the right-of-way.
C. All associated road and utility permits will be secured from the appropriate regulatory
agency prior to construction. Listed below are the necessary permits to be submitted for
the proposed pipeline:
Army Corps of Engineers — permit to cross the drainages along the proposed
ROW
Garfield County Engineer's Office — permit to cross County Road 319
Garfield County — Special Use Permit
All equipment and vehicular access into the pipeline project will be confined to approved
existing roads and the established right-of-way corridor. No major reconstruction or
rerouting of these roads is intended.
D. All safety measures have been considered in the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of the facility. EnCana will have inspectors present during construction.
Any accidents to persons or property on federal lands will immediately be reported to the
authorized officer.
E. SWCA has been contracted to complete a cultural resource inventory for the proposed
route. The report has been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management, Glenwood
Springs Field Office, Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
If any cultural remains, monument sites, objects or antiquities subject to the Antiques Act
of June 8, 1906, or Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, are discovered, the
activities shall cease immediately and the responsible authorized officer shall be notified.
If any fossils are discovered during construction, the operator shall cease construction
immediately and notify the authorized BLM officer so as to determine the significance of
the discovery.
F. Environmental Effects.
EnCana River Water Pipeline Page 2 of 7
• •
EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. Air Quality. No effect of air quality would be expected.
2. Visual Impact. Aboveground structures shall be painted to blend with the
surrounding landscape. Visual quality objectives for the land management unit
shall not be adversely impacted.
3. Water Quality. The proposed pipeline crosses numerous ephemeral drainages;
however, surface or ground water quality and quantity should not be affected.
4. Noise. Noise from the construction activities will create a temporary disruption of
ambient conditions; however, any disruption should be of relatively short
duration.
5. Aesthetics. The construction of the proposed facility will not have any significant
impact on the surrounding environment. Any actual construction impacts will be
temporary.
III. CONSTRUCTION
A. Notification. Your office will be notified at least 5 days prior to the anticipated start of
construction and/or any surface disturbing activities. A preconstruction conference will
also be scheduled with the authorized BLM officer and all contractors and agents
involved with construction and/or surface disturbing activities to review the stipulations of
the Grant and the Plan of Development.
B. Saturated Surfaces. No construction or routine maintenance activities shall be performed
during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment or
when watershed damage is likely to occur. If such equipment creates ruts in excess of
four inches deep, the soil shall be deemed too wet to adequately support construction
equipment. Frozen soil or soil mixed with snow will not be used in construction.
C. Topsoil. The top 6 inches of topsoil will be removed and conserved during excavation
and reused as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation. Trenching
will be done using a trencher. Sideboom tractors will be used to place the pipeline in the
trench after the pipe has been welded and coated. After the pipeline is in place, the
trench will be backfilled using an angle dozer or auger. If rocks are present, the pipe will
be padded and shaded with a bucket shaker or an "Ozzie Padder", there are to be no
berms. No foreign rock to the surface will remain exposed.
D. The pipeline will be hydro -tested prior to being placed in service. Prior to any discharge,
hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if necessary, to ensure that the
water meets local, state or federal water quality standards. Prior to discharge of
hydrostatic testing water from the pipeline, EnCana will design and install a suitable
energy dissipater at the outlets, and design and install suitable channel protection
structures necessary to ensure that there will be no erosion or scouring of natural
channels within the affected watershed as a result of such discharge. Sandbags, rock, or
other materials or objects installed shall be removed from the site upon completion of
hydrostatic testing.
E. All construction equipment and vehicles shall be confined to approved existing roads and
the right-of-way.
IV. POST CONSTRUCTION
A. Disturbed areas. All disturbed areas will be final graded to as close as possible to its
original condition.

EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
B. Erosion. Erosion control structures such as water bars or "kicker dikes" will be
constructed. Water bars will be placed approximately every 25' on steep slopes to
prevent erosion over the right-of-way. Steep slope breaks will also be made impassable
to vehicular traffic by using deep waterbars, leaving them rough.
C. Drainages. The banks of drainage crossings will be returned and stabilized to their
original slope to avoid ramping and opening them to livestock and vehicle traffic.
D. Visuals. Where applicable, the upper rim rock will be replaced to discourage traffic and
mitigate visual scarring.
E. Painting. All aboveground facilities will be painted with the Carlsbad Canyon 2.5 Y 6/2
color or similar color to blend in with the surrounding area.
F. Seeding. EnCana will seed all disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor with the
recommended seed mixtures as stated in the BLM publication:

EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
Seed shall be planted using a drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper
depth of planting where drilling is possible. The seed mixture shall be evenly and
uniformly planted over the disturbed area. Where drilling is not possible, seed shall be
broadcast and the area shall be raked or chained to cover the seed. When broadcasting
the seed, the pounds per acre will be doubled. Steep slopes will not be drill seeded so to
avoid establishing rills. The seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is
established as determined by the authorized officer. Evaluation of growth will not be
made before completion of the first growing season after seeding. The authorized officer
will be notified a minimum of 5 days prior to the seeding of the project.
Seeding will occur during spring or late fall seasons when ground frost is not present.
V. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Waste Disposal. All waste caused by construction activities will be removed and
disposed of in an authorized area or approved landfill.
B. Weed Control. EnCana shall be responsible for weed control on disturbed areas within
the limits of the right-of-way. EnCana will be responsible for consultation with the
authorized officer and/or local authorities for acceptable weed control methods (within
limits imposed in the grant stipulation).
C. Pesticide Use. EnCana shall comply with the applicable federal and state laws.
Pesticides shall be used only in accordance with their registered uses and within
limitations imposed by the Secretary of the Interior. Prior to the use of pesticides,
EnCana shall obtain from the authorized officer written approval of a plan showing the
type and quantity of material to be used, pests(s) to be controlled, method of application,
location of storage and disposal of containers, and any other information deemed
necessary by the authorized officer. Emergency use of pesticides shall be approved in
writing by the authorized officer prior to such use.
VI. ABANDONMENT
A. Prior to termination of the right-of-way, EnCana shall contact the authorized officer to
arrange a pre -termination conference. This conference will be held to review the
termination provision of the grant.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL FORM
CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
• •
Best Management Practices for Storm Water Management
Erosion and Sediment Controls
Erosion control will be accomplished through a combination of construction techniques,
vegetation, and structural features.
1. Structural Practices
The following are structural site management practices, which will minimize erosion and
sediment transport.
a. To minimize disturbance associated with installation of a facility, level and gently
sloping terrain outside the project area will not be graded, except where reasonable for
construction equipment stability and fire safety.
b. Silt barriers (e.g. brush dams, rock filter dikes, silt fences, hay bales, or water bars) will
be installed as needed on down -gradient portions of the project area.
c. Side hill cuts will be kept to a minimum to protect local resources while providing a
safe and stable plane for the efficient and safe use of equipment.
Where conditions warrant, erosion control structures such as berms, water bars,
diversion or collection channels, terraces, or culverts will be constructed to divert water
away from the project area and to reduce soil erosion along and adjoining areas
disturbed during construction.
d.
e. In areas of steep slopes that are not annually cultivated, water bars or runoff diversions,
will be installed as indicated in Table 1. The water bars will begin and end in
undisturbed ground at a 2% slope.
f. Culverts may be installed at a grade ranging from 2-5 percent. Inlet protection may
include inlet aprons and rock armoring around the culvert perimeter while below grade
inlet sumps may be installed to enhance deposition. Outfall protection may include the
use of a rock armored splash pad to slow water.

• •
2. Implementation of Structural Practices
a. Construction sites may utilize vegetative filters, brush dams, rock filter dikes, silt
fences, straw bale dikes, water bars, or equivalent sediment controls installed so as to
protect down slope surface waters, wetlands and roads from sediment flow due to
runoff from a storm event.
b. All grade surfaces, walls, dams and structures, vegetation, erosion and sediment control
measures and other protective devices used for erosion control will be maintained,
repaired and restored as appropriate.
c. All erosion control structures will be inspected at least every 14 days before
implementation of the reclamation phase and within 24 hours after a storm event of 1.0
inch or more. Under normal circumstances, deficiencies will be repaired in a timely
manner. The designated Inspector will maintain documentation of inspections, findings
and corrective actions.
3. Site Preparation
a. Existing cover will be removed only where necessary for the operation of equipment.
In general, vegetation will be cut off near ground level leaving the root system intact.
Cuttings may be stacked into a brush dam, distributed along the contour across
reclaimed areas during reclamation or disposed of as directed by the landowner/agency
representative.
b. Trees and large shrubs that are not cleared from the site will be protected from damage
during construction by avoiding them with equipment. For example, bulldozers will
maintain their blades in a raised position except for areas designated for clearing or to
smooth out sharp breaks in relief.
c. Grading outside the project area will be done only when necessary for the safe
operation of equipment and for fire protection.
d. Trees will be cut or trimmed only to facilitate clearing, grading, and safe installation.
4. Excavation
a. Excavated materials will be stored next to the excavation to protect the material from
vehicular and equipment traffic. As required by the COGCC Reclamation Regulations
all excavation operations on cropland shall separate and store the various A, B, and C
soil horizons.
b. Excavation in sensitive areas may be conducted according to special techniques as
specified by the landowner/agency representative.
c. Excavated surface materials will be utilized as backfill when practicable. An exception
may be some rock excavated by blasting. In these areas, some select backfill may be
r •
required to protect the project area. Excess rock may be pushed into rock filter dikes,
used in energy dissipation zones below culverts, constructed into rock check dams
within grassed swales, distributed over a portion of the project area or disposed of off-
site.
d. All cuts made in steep rolling terrain during construction will be regraded and
contoured to blend into the adjoining landscape and to reestablish the natural drainage
patterns.
e. Materials that are unsuitable for use as backfill or excess backfill material will be
disposed at approved locations.
5. Streams and Wetlands
a. During construction near perennial streams, lakes or wetlands, sedimentation
(detention) basins, straw bales, or fabric filters may be constructed to prevent
suspended sediments from reaching downgradient watercourses, streams, lakes or
wetlands.
b. Disturbance of riparian and wetland areas will be kept to the minimum needed for
construction and installation.
c. The first 1.0 feet of topsoil from wetlands will be salvaged and redistributed over the
trench as quickly as reasonably possible following installation of the pipeline. The
seeds, roots, rhizomes, tubers, and bulbs present in the topsoil will enhance and help
speed up reclamation of wetlands disturbed by construction.
d. Where appropriate, water bars or sediment filters, such as staked straw bales or silt
fences, will be constructed adjacent to the crossings to reduce potential sedimentation
in streams or wetlands. Trenching will cross dry streams. Small flowing streams will
be crossed by fluming or trenching with a downstream silt barrier to reduce
downstream sedimentation.
Materials Handling and Spill Prevention
Hazardous materials and petroleum products to be used in construction of the Facility are
limited to fuel and lubricants for construction equipment and vehicles; small quantities of
paints and solvents; water or gel based frac fluids (surfactant, friction reducer, acid, potassium
chloride) using during completion; produced water; and, crude oil/condensate.
Refueling and lubrication of vehicles will be conducted a minimum of 100 feet back from
flowing streams and wetlands. Spills will be promptly cleaned up and contaminated materials
hauled off-site and disposed of/recycled properly. Quantities of materials on site will be
limited to "as -needed" for the immediate operations underway.
Other Controls
All wastes from materials imported to the construction site are to be removed for
disposal/recycling to an appropriate licensed disposal/recycling facility, including sanitary
sewage facilities (typically portable). No wastes of imported materials shall be buried,
dumped, or discharged to waters of the State.
There are no other pollutant sources from areas other than construction areas expected.
To prevent tracking of sediment onto public roads, the proposed facilities shall have, at a
minimum, compacted ingress and egress areas adjacent to public roads. Other means such as
using gravel, scoria, or cattle guards may be utilized if appropriate.
Maintenance
Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Company. Maintenance will be perfoitued on an
as -needed basis based upon the results of inspections conducted at the site.
INSPECTION
Inspections will be conducted at least every 14 calendar days and within 24 -hours of any
precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inch during construction and prior to initiating reclamation.
After reclamation has been initiated inspections will be conducted at least every 30 -calendar
days and within 24 -hours of any precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inches until uniform
vegetative cover of at least 70% of pre -disturbance levels has been achieved.
Inspections will be documented and these records kept on file for three years following
reclamation. All negative inspection results will be corrected as soon as practicable.
FINAL STABILIZATION AND LONG-TERM STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
1. Reclamation
a. Unless otherwise directed by the landowner or the jurisdictional authority, rocks, cut
vegetation and other surface material temporarily stockpiled for construction will be
redistributed back across non -fenced portions of the project area following
construction.
b. Disturbed areas will be seeded using seed mixes appropriate to the location. Local soil
conservation authorities with the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, surface
owners and/or reclamation contractors familiar with the area may be consulted
regarding the correct seed mix to be utilized.
• •
c. On terrain where drill seeding is appropriate, seed may be planted using a drill
equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting. The seed mix will
be evenly and uniformly planted over the disturbed area. Drilling will be used where
topography and soil conditions allow operation of equipment to meet the seeding
requirements of the species being planted.
d. Broadcast seeding will occur on steep terrain and on areas such as where the cut
vegetation and rocks were redistributed over the right-of-way.
e. Seeding will be done when seasonal or weather conditions are most favorable
according to schedules identified by the jurisdictional authority, reclamation contractor,
or landowner. Whenever possible, seeding will be timed to take advantage of moisture,
such as early spring or late fall to benefit from winter precipitation.
f Seed mixes will be planted in the amount specified in pounds of pure live seed/acre,
where necessary. There will be no primary or secondary noxious weeds in the seed
mix.
g.
The reestablishment of vegetative cover as well as watershed stabilization measures
will be scheduled during the working season and before the succeeding winter. In any
case, revegetation treatments will be accomplished as soon as practical following
completion of facility construction.
h. In general, the applicable portions of the project area will not be mulched during
reclamation and revegetation. Mulch will only be applied at the request of the
jurisdictional authority in areas where the cut vegetation and rocks are not redistributed
over the disturbed area. (The cut vegetation and rocks will act like mulch in the areas
where they are applied.) Where straw or hay mulch is requested, the mulch will be
applied and crimped into the soil.
i. The need for fertilizers will be determined in conjunction with the jurisdictional
authority. If fertilization is necessary, the rates of application will be based on site-
specific requirements of the soil.
2. Post -Construction Structural Measures
a. Permanent water bars will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at
wetland and stream crossing boundaries.
b. Trench plugs will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at wetland and
stream crossing boundaries.
c. After restoration work is complete, required repairs to vegetation, erosion, and
sediment control structures will be completed along with routine scheduled pipeline
inspections and/or in response to other notification.

Describe control features:
The pipeline's approximate 50 foot right-of-way will be staked prior to construction to
limit the area of disturbance required for construction. All personnel , vehicles, and
equipment will stay within the staked boundaries.
Silt fences or hay bales will be placed on the down gradient side of the right-of-way
when the pipeline is installed parallel to the grade contours of a hillside. Waterbars
ending at hay bales will be installed in the right-of-way when the pipeline is installed
on a hillside perpendicular to the grade contours. Spacing of the waterbars will be
determined by the surface topography. Trench breakers will be installed in trenches
on slopes prior to backfilling. Silt fences, hay bales, waterbars, and trench breakers
will not be used when the hillside gradient is less than 5%.
Silt fences or hay bales will be installed on the down slope and upslope sides of the
construction area at the ephemoral drainage crossing points.

made. This inspection process will be followed during the entire construction phase of
the project.
4. At the conclusion of all construction activities, begin the reclamation of the site. Describe
how reclamation of the site is to be accomplished. If the site is located in an area of
agriculture cultivation, grading the site back to its original contour will be sufficient. In other
areas, grading and re -vegetation may be required. When the reclamation activities are
70% complete, enter the date the site attained 70% reclamation and sign form.
When the pipeline installation phase of the project has been completed the right-of-
way will be restored as close as possible to pre -excavation grades and compaction.
Topsoil will be redistributed as close to original salvage depths as possible. In areas
with pre-existing rocky surface material, the stored rock will be spread over the right-
of-way to maintain a surface appearance to that of adjacent undisturbed terrain.
Seeding will be applied with a planned seed mix and application rate. Permanent
waterbars will be installed on slopes at the intervals indicated in Table 1 of the
Stormwater Management Plan. Every effort will be made to install permanent erosion
control measures within 30 days after the pipeline trench is backfilled. Periodic
inspections of the site will be made to assure that isolated areas of soil erosion that
may occur are corrected. When the grass seed has reached a vegative establishment
level of 70 %, these inspections will cease.

"EXHIBIT A"
CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
ENCANA RIVER WATER PIPELINE
(PERMIT APPLICATION NUMBER)
ENCANA OIL & GAS (USA), INC. applies for a water pipeline right-of-way under Section 1761 of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1701 et. seq).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. ENCANA OIL & GAS (USA), INC. (EnCana) proposes to construct an 8" water pipeline
and related facilities (including valves and electric driven pumping equipment). The
proposed project will allow EnCana to develop and gather natural gas produced from the
Grass Mesa and Hunter Mesa Federal Units and deliver to multiple markets and provide
for the sale of developed federal minerals. This action will allow adjacent federal mineral
acres to become economic, offer opportunities for National energy self -dependency, and
allow operator income.
B. The proposed pipeline will consist of 8", 0.219 inch wall thickness, Grade X-42, MAOP of
740 psig.
C. The proposed pipeline will begin at the Last Chance Irrigation Ditch near Buckhorn Drive
in Rifle, CO. in the SW/4, SW/4, Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 93 West.
D. The proposed 8" pipeline is approximately 31,024' in total length; approximately 9,812' is
located on federal land, none on state land, and approximately 21,212' on private land.
E. A 70 -foot wide corridor is requested at this time for construction purposes. Upon
completion of the project, a permanent 50 -foot wide right-of-way, containing
approximately 12.3 federal acres, is requested for operational and maintenance
purposes.
The proposed pump station would be located in Garfield County, Colorado described as
SW/4 SW/4, Section 14, T6S, R93W on private land.
No additional staging areas on Federal surface are requested for construction operations.
F. The length of term for the right-of-way is requested for a period of thirty years.
G. The pipeline will be in operation during the irrigation season, approximately March until
November, each year. The line would be drained for freeze protection during winter
months.
H. The volume of water transported will be approximately 504,000 gallons/day (350 gallons
per minute, 12,000 barrels per day, 1.547 acre-feet per day).
Construction will begin immediately upon BLM authorization.
II. PRE -CONSTRUCTION
EnCana River Water Pipeline Page 1 of 7
•
EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
A. A flagged survey has been established along the proposed route. The surveyed route is
the shortest, most direct route and will thereby minimize damage to federal lands. The
pipeline will run from the Last Chance Ditch near Buckhorn Drive in Rifle generally east
toward the Rifle Airport, then turning south through Section 23 generally parallel to West
Mamm Creek Road (Garfield County Road 319). The pipeline route leaves West Mamm
Creek Road in the NW/4 SE/4 of Sec. 26 and follows an existing field road into Sec. 36,
and then parallels existing pipelines and roads to EnCana's Hunter Mesa Water
Treatment Plant in the SE/4 NE/4 of Section 1, T7S, R93W, Garfield County, Colorado.
A minimum distance of 25' from the centerline of existing foreign pipelines and 10' from
EnCana pipelines will be maintained at all times. The pipeline will be at least 5' deep,
except at road crossings where the depth will be 6'.
The EnCana River Water Pump Station will consist of an electric -motor driven vertical
turbine pump within a small building (approximately 20' X 20') located on private land in
SW/4, SW/4 Sec. 14, T6S, R93W.
All working areas will be confined to the requested right-of-way.
B. EnCana shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as
they relate to public health, safety and environmental protection in the construction,
operation, and maintenance of this facility. No toxic substances will be stored or used on
the right-of-way.
C. All associated road and utility permits will be secured from the appropriate regulatory
agency prior to construction. Listed below are the necessary permits to be submitted for
the proposed pipeline:
Army Corps of Engineers — permit to cross the drainages along the proposed
ROW
Garfield County Engineer's Office — permit to cross County Road 319
Garfield County — Special Use Permit
All equipment and vehicular access into the pipeline project will be confined to approved
existing roads and the established right-of-way corridor. No major reconstruction or
rerouting of these roads is intended.
D. All safety measures have been considered in the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of the facility. EnCana will have inspectors present during construction.
Any accidents to persons or property on federal lands will immediately be reported to the
authorized officer.
E. SWCA has been contracted to complete a cultural resource inventory for the proposed
route. The report has been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management, Glenwood
Springs Field Office, Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
If any cultural remains, monument sites, objects or antiquities subject to the Antiques Act
of June 8, 1906, or Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, are discovered, the
activities shall cease immediately and the responsible authorized officer shall be notified.
If any fossils are discovered during construction, the operator shall cease construction
immediately and notify the authorized BLM officer so as to determine the significance of
the discovery.
F. Environmental Effects.
EnCana River Water Pipeline Page 2 of 7
• •
EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. Air Quality. No effect of air quality would be expected.
2. Visual Impact. Aboveground structures shall be painted to blend with the
surrounding landscape. Visual quality objectives for the land management unit
shall not be adversely impacted.
3. Water Quality. The proposed pipeline crosses numerous ephemeral drainages;
however, surface or ground water quality and quantity should not be affected.
4. Noise. Noise from the construction activities will create a temporary disruption of
ambient conditions; however, any disruption should be of relatively short
duration.
5. Aesthetics. The construction of the proposed facility will not have any significant
impact on the surrounding environment. Any actual construction impacts will be
temporary.
III. CONSTRUCTION
A. Notification. Your office will be notified at least 5 days prior to the anticipated start of
construction and/or any surface disturbing activities. A preconstruction conference will
also be scheduled with the authorized BLM officer and all contractors and agents
involved with construction and/or surface disturbing activities to review the stipulations of
the Grant and the Plan of Development.
B. Saturated Surfaces. No construction or routine maintenance activities shall be performed
during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment or
when watershed damage is likely to occur. If such equipment creates ruts in excess of
four inches deep, the soil shall be deemed too wet to adequately support construction
equipment. Frozen soil or soil mixed with snow will not be used in construction.
C. Topsoil. The top 6 inches of topsoil will be removed and conserved during excavation
and reused as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation. Trenching
will be done using a trencher. Sideboom tractors will be used to place the pipeline in the
trench after the pipe has been welded and coated. After the pipeline is in place, the
trench will be backfilled using an angle dozer or auger. If rocks are present, the pipe will
be padded and shaded with a bucket shaker or an "Ozzie Padder", there are to be no
berms. No foreign rock to the surface will remain exposed.
D. The pipeline will be hydro -tested prior to being placed in service. Prior to any discharge,
hydrostatic testing water will be tested and processed, if necessary, to ensure that the
water meets local, state or federal water quality standards. Prior to discharge of
hydrostatic testing water from the pipeline, EnCana will design and install a suitable
energy dissipater at the outlets, and design and install suitable channel protection
structures necessary to ensure that there will be no erosion or scouring of natural
channels within the affected watershed as a result of such discharge. Sandbags, rock, or
other materials or objects installed shall be removed from the site upon completion of
hydrostatic testing.
E. All construction equipment and vehicles shall be confined to approved existing roads and
the right-of-way.
IV. POST CONSTRUCTION
A. Disturbed areas. All disturbed areas will be final graded to as close as possible to its
original condition.
EnCana River Water Pipeline Page 3 of 7
4110
EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
B. Erosion. Erosion control structures such as water bars or "kicker dikes" will be
constructed. Water bars will be placed approximately every 25' on steep slopes to
prevent erosion over the right-of-way. Steep slope breaks will also be made impassable
to vehicular traffic by using deep waterbars, leaving them rough.
C. Drainages. The banks of drainage crossings will be returned and stabilized to their
original slope to avoid ramping and opening them to livestock and vehicle traffic.
D. Visuals. Where applicable, the upper rim rock will be replaced to discourage traffic and
mitigate visual scarring.
E. Painting. AH aboveground facilities will be painted with the Carlsbad Canyon 2.5 Y 6/2
color or similar color to blend in with the surrounding area.
F. Seeding. EnCana will seed all disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor with the
recommended seed mixtures as stated in the BLM publication:

EXHIBIT A — CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTTANCE PLAN
Seed shall be planted using a drill equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper
depth of planting where drilling is possible. The seed mixture shall be evenly and
uniformly planted over the disturbed area. Where drilling is not possible, seed shall be
broadcast and the area shall be raked or chained to cover the seed. When broadcasting
the seed, the pounds per acre will be doubled. Steep slopes will not be drill seeded so to
avoid establishing rills. The seeding will be repeated until a satisfactory stand is
established as determined by the authorized officer. Evaluation of growth will not be
made before completion of the first growing season after seeding. The authorized officer
will be notified a minimum of 5 days prior to the seeding of the project.
Seeding will occur during spring or late fall seasons when ground frost is not present.
V. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Waste Disposal. All waste caused by construction activities will be removed and
disposed of in an authorized area or approved landfill.
B. Weed Control. EnCana shall be responsible for weed control on disturbed areas within
the limits of the right-of-way. EnCana will be responsible for consultation with the
authorized officer and/or local authorities for acceptable weed control methods (within
limits imposed in the grant stipulation).
C. Pesticide Use. EnCana shall comply with the applicable federal and state laws.
Pesticides shall be used only in accordance with their registered uses and within
limitations imposed by the Secretary of the Interior. Prior to the use of pesticides,
EnCana shall obtain from the authorized officer written approval of a plan showing the
type and quantity of material to be used, pests(s) to be controlled, method of application,
location of storage and disposal of containers, and any other information deemed
necessary by the authorized officer. Emergency use of pesticides shall be approved in
writing by the authorized officer prior to such use.
VI. ABANDONMENT
A. Prior to termination of the right-of-way, EnCana shall contact' the authorized officer to
arrange a pre -termination conference. This conference will be held to review the
termination provision of the grant.

1. Attach to this form, a simple sketch of the site outlining the construction. Include any
ditches, canals, creeks, streams and rivers located within one-quarter mile of the site.
Determine the direction of the drainage or flow gradient for the site. Identify this flow
gradient with a simple arrow pointing in the direction of the flow.
2. Select the type of control feature used for the site. Describe in detail the erosion controls
adopted for the site based on a study of the site and the general topography of the area.
Show these erosion control features on the sketch.
® Baled Hay ® Berms
❑ Other (specify):
® Ditches ® Silt Fence
Describe control features:
The pipeline's approximate 50 foot right-of-way will be staked prior to construction to
limit the area of disturbance required for construction. All personnel, vehicles and
equipment will stay within the staked boundaries.
Silt fences of hay bales will be placed on the down gradient side of the right-of-way
when the pipeline is installed parallel to the grade contours of a hillside. Waterbars
ending at straw bales will be installed in the right-of-way when the pipeline is installed
on a hillside perpendicular to the grade contours. Spacing of the waterbars will be
determined by the surface topography. Trench breakers will be installed in trenches
on sloped prior to backfilling. Silt fence, straw bales, waterbars, andt trench breakers
will not be used when the hillside gradient is less tha 5%.
Silt fence and straw bales will be installed on the down slope and upslope sides of the
construction area at the ephemoral drainage crossing points.
3. Describe the maintenance schedule developed for the site. If the construction at the site is
to be handled by more than one operating group, identify the operating group that will
subsequently take over the site. Brief the foreman/ supervisor in charge of the second
phase of the activity of SWMP supplement details.
The control features described in Part 2 above will be maintained during the
construction installation phase of the pipeline project by the general contractor. The
EnCana EHS coordinator will inspect the site on a bi-monthly basis and determine
what, if any, repairs to the control structures are required. The EHS coordinator will

will be restored as close as possible to pre -excavation grades and compaction.
Topsoil will be redistributed as close to original salvage depths as possible. In areas
with pre-existing rocky surface material, the stored rock will be spread over the right -of
way to maintain a surface appearance to that of adjacent undisturbed terrain. Seeding
will be applied with a planned seed mix and application rate. Permanent waterbars
will be installed on slopes at the intervals indicated in Table 1 of the Stormwater
Management Plan. Every effort will be made to install permanent erosion control
measures within 30 days after the pipeline trench is backfilled. Periodic inspections of
the site will be made to assure that isolated areas of soil erosion that may occur are
corrected. When the grass seed has reached a vegative establishment level of 70 %,
these inspections will cease.

INTRODUCTION .
This permit is for the regulation ofsrormwater runoff from construction activities. The term "corsrruction activity" includes
clearing, grading and excavation operations. "Stormwazer" is precipitation -induced surface runoff. This Rationale will
0 e.... --plain the background of the Stormwater program, activities which are covered under this permit, how to apply for coverage
under this permit, and the requirements of this permit.
The forms discussed in the Rationale and Permit are available on the Division's website at:
http://www. cdph e.stare. co. us/wq/permitsun itlwgcdp mt. html
A. Changes in this General Permit
Several notable changes from the previous General Permit for Construction Activities have been incorporated into this
permit. Most of the changes are related to the Phase II revision to the storrnwater regulation in the Colorado
Discharge Permit System Regulations (5CCR 1002-61), effective March 2, 2001. Significant changes are listed below:
1. Permit coverage is now required for construction sites that disturb 1 10 5 acres (i.e., small construction
activities). Allowances have been made for small construction activities to comply with the requirements of a
Division -approved Qualifying Local Program (refer to section VI below for a discussion of Qual Eying Local
Programs) in place of many specific requirements in the Permit, including requirements to submit an
application, inactivation notice, and fees to rhe Division. Refer to Part I.A.3 of the Permit and section VILA of
rhe Rationale for more details.
2. The requirements to submit the Township, Range, section and quarter section of a site and a list of any other
environmental permits for the site with the applicarion have been removed.
3. Inactivation requirements have been changed to allow small construction activities that submit applications
_indicating a completion dare 12 months or less from the start of construction activity to be authorized for a
predetermined period from 3 to 12 months. The permit certification will include the automatic expiration date
for permit coverage. This expiration date will be in place of the requirement to submit an Inactivation Notice.
If permit coverage beyond the expiration date is needed (i.e., the site has not been finally stabilized), the
perminee must submit an extension request form to the Division at least 10 days prior to the expiration

SC _ARC ES._SSOCIATED J 'T.r:' CCWSTRUCTIONACTIVITY
The Stormwater regulations require that stormwater discharges associated with certain industrial activities be covered under
S:hepermi: prozrcm. Cors.: rction activity that disturbs one acre or more is specifically included in the listed industrial
acm,ine.s.
•
f_. Construction Activity
Construction activity includes clearing, grading and excavation activities. Construction does nor include routine
maintenance performed by public agencies, or their agents to maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity,
or orig,incl purpose of the facility.
Definitions of additional terms can be found in Part I.D of the Permit.
Stormwater discharges from construction activity require permit coverage, except for operations that result in the
disturbance of less than one acre of total land area which are not part of a larger common plan of development or
sale. A larger common plan of development or sale is a contiguous area where multiple separate and distinct
construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules under one plan.
P. Tvpes orAcrivities Covered
_This peri it Is intended to cover most new or existing discharges composed entirely ofszorn'water from construction
activities that are required by State regulation to obtain a permit. This includes stormwater discharges associated with
areas that are dedicated ro producing earthen materials, such as soils, sand, and gravel, for use at a single
constrlcnon sire. These areas may be located az the construction site or az some other location. This permit does nor
author..e the discharge of mine water or process water from sunk areas.
Mispermit also includes stormwarer discharges associated with dedicated asphalt plans and concrete plants located
a: the cons:r uction sizes.
C. TvDes o-'Acti viries NOT Covered
This permit does not cover stormwater discharged from construction sites that is mixed with stormwater from other
,,Des of industrial activities, or process water of any hind. Other types of industrial activities that require stormwarer
discharge permits pursuant to different sections of the regulations (Regulation 5 CCR 1002-61, Section 61.2(e)(iii)(,4-
I, K')J, are not covered by this permit.
This permit also does not cover the discharge ofprocess water, If the construction activity encounters groundwater, a
Construction Dewatering Discharge Permit (Permit Number COG -070000) must also be obtained in order to
discharge this groundwater from the excavation site. An application for this permit can be obtained from the Division
at the address listed in Pan I.A.9.a of the Permit.
D. Exemptions for Small Municipalities
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (Section 1068(c)) added an exemption to the szormweter
regulariors for municipalities with less than I00,000 population. The term "municipality" includes cities, towns,
counties, special districts or any entity created by or pursuant to State law.
Siormwazer discharges associated with construction activity for facilities or sites that are owned or operated by a
small municipality are not required to apply for or obtain a stormwater permit until March 10, 2003. (Note: This
e.�.emprion does not apply to other, privately owned construction sites within the same small municipality)

Ccve-cee under c Ouelin in- Local Pro Torr — For Small Construction Sires Only
For small constriction sizes (disturbing less than 5 acres) covered under a Qual jying Local Program (see Section VI
above), only certain permit requirements apply, as outlined below. The local program must have been formally
designated by the Division zo qualms. Most municipalities have some type of local program and may require permits
and fees. However, simply having a program in place does nor necessarily mean that it is a qualing program and
that e State permit is no! required. The local municipality will be responsible for notifying operators and/Or owners
that they are covered by a Qualifying Local Program. A list of municipalities with Oualing Local Programs is also
available at hrp.//www.cdphe.state.co.us/wq/PermitsUnii/wgcdpmt.html.
The Division reserves the right to require any owner or operator within the jurisdiction of a QualingLocal Program
covered under this permit to apply for and obtain coverage under the full requirements of this permit.
1. Permit Coverage: If a construction site is within the jurisdiction of a Ouali "tying Local Program, the operator of
the construction activity is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with small construction activity under
this general pemnit without rhe submittal of an application zo the Division. The permittee also is no: required to
submit an inactivation notice or payment of an annual fee.
2. Permit Terms and Conditions: The permittee covered by a Oualifving Local Program must comply with the
requirements of the Oualing Local Program which has jurisdiction over rhe site. In addition, the following
permit sections are applicable:
i. J.A.1, 1.A.2, and J.A.3: Authorisation to discharge and discussion of coverage under the permit.
ii. J.C.J. General limitations that must be met in addition zo local requirements.
iii. I.C.2, I.C.3: Prohibition of non-stormwater discharges unless addressed in a separate CDPS permit and
requirements related to releases ofreportable quantities.
iv. Part II (except for Parts II.A.1, II.B.3, II.B.8, and II.B10): Specifically includes, but is nor limited to,
provisions applicable in the case of noncompliance with permit requirement, and requirements to provide
information and access.
B. Stormwarer Management Plans (SWIv1Ps)
Prior to commencement of construction, a stormwater management plan (SWMP) shall be developed and implemented
for each facility covered by this permit. A certification that the SWMP is complete must be submitted with the permit
application. The SWMP shall identify potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be
expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges associated with construction activity from the facility. In
addition, the plan shall describe the best management practice (BMPs) which will be used to reduce the pollutants in
stormwater discharges from the construction site. Facilities must implement the provisions of their SWMP as a
condition of this permit. The SWMP shall include the following items:
1. Site Description
2. Site Map
3. BMPs for Stormwater Pollution Prevention
4. Longterm Stormwater Management
5. Other Controls
6. Inspection and Maintenance

9. Individual Permit Criteria
•
Aside from the activity type, the Division may use other criteria in evaluating whether an individual permit is required
ins:ead of this general permi:. Tns information may come from the application, SWM, or additional information as
requested by the Division, and includes, bu: is not limited to, the following:
a) the quality of the receiving waters (i.e., the presence of down.strearn drinking water•imtal:es or a high quality
fishery, or for preservation of high quality water);
b) the size of the consp*uction site;
c) evidence of noncompliance under a previous permit for the operation;
• d) the use of chemicals within the stormwater system.
In addition, an individual peri; may be required when the Division has shown or has reason to suspect that the
stormwater discharge may contribute to a violation of a water quality standard.
B. CONTENTS OF THE STORMWAT R M&NAGEMENT PLAN
The SWIG shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering, hydrologic and pollution control practices. (The SWMP
need not be prepared by a registered engineer.) The main objective of the plan shall be to identify Best Management Practices
(BNIPs) which when implemented will meet the terms and conditions of this permit (see Part I.C., below).
The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected to affect the
quality of stormwater discharges associated with construction activity from the facility. In addition, the plan shall describe and
ensure the implementation of BMPs which will be used to reduce the pollutants in stonawater discharges associated with
construction activity. Construction operations must implement the provisions of the SWMP required under this part as
a condition of this permit.

b) Materials Handling and Spill Prevention:
The SWIvtP shall identify any procedures or significant materials (see definitions at Part I.D.) handled at the site
that could contribute pollutants to runoff. These could include sources such as: exposed storage of building
materials, fertilizers or chemicals; waste piles; and equipment maintenance or fueling procedures. Areas or
procedures where potential spills can occur shall have spill prevention and response procedures identified.
Measures to control stormwater pollution from dedicated concrete batch plants or dedicated asphalt batch plants
covered by this certification, must be identified in the SWMP.
4. Final Stabilization and Longterm Stormwater Management _
The plan shall include a description of the measures used to achieve final stabilization and measures to control pollutants
in stormwater discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed.
Final stabilization is reached when all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and uniform vegetative
cover has been established with a density of at least 70 percent of pre -disturbance levels, or equivalent permanent,
physical erosion reduction methods have been employed.
For purposes of this permit, establishment of a vegetative cover capable of providing erosion control equivalent to pre-
exstinc conditions at the site can be considered final stabilization. The permittee will be responsible for providing to the.
Division the documentation to make this comparison. The Division may, after consultation with the permittee and upon
good cause, amend the final stabilization criteria for specific operations.
5. Other Controls

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc.
INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared for various oil and gas
drilling, completion and producing locations within the field provided above in order to
identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) which will be implemented to meet the terms and
conditions of the Colorado Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction
Activity. The SWMP has been prepared in accordance with good engineering, hydrologic, and
pollution control practices, and is designed to constitute compliance with Best Available
Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Technology (BCT), as mandated under the Federal
Clean Water Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as well as rules and regulations
promulgated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
This SWMP is intended to prevent or minimize the negative impact of soil erosion on the water
quality of tributary streams (U.S. waters) and their upgradient water sheds by developing
effective engineering -design and construction practices. Under state and federal laws, a
SWMP is now required for new construction sites that represent a surface area disturbance
greater than 1 acre (43,560 flz.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. is constructing or has constructed various facilities (See
Appendix A) associated with oil & natural gas well drilling, completion and production.
The general construction sequence for each facility will consist or has consisted of the
following:
• Clear vegetation and establish perimeter stormwater control;
• Remove and stockpile topsoil , grade and compact the project areas level, and clear and
grade right-of-way;
• Excavate reserve pit, and/or ROW;
• Move in drilling or construction equipment;
• Remove all equipment and move in completion equipment to complete well;
• Remove all completion equipment and install semi-permanent production equipment; and
• Re-seed/reclaim the remaining disturbed area with uniform vegetative cover to at least 70%
of pre -disturbance levels.
The total area of surface disturbance for each facility ranges from 1-5 acres. There are no
wetland acreage in the area of the Facilities covered under this SWMP.
The runoff coefficients for the locations within project area are expected to vary between 0.10
to 0.30 and are not expected to change significantly following construction. The project areas
ranged from flat unimproved rangeland to mountainous areas with steep slopes.
The most common substances that could be spilled within the project area are: 1) fuel and
lubricants for construction equipment and vehicles; 2) water or gel based frac fluids
(surfactant, friction reducer, acid, potassium chloride) used during completion; 3) produced
water; and 4) produced crude oil/condensate. No non -storm water components of storm water
discharge such as irrigation return flows or spring discharge are anticipated.
The potential receiving water body for surface water drainage from the various facilities will
be the Colorado River located approximately 4 miles north of the center of the field.
SITE MAPS
A topographic map of the project area showing the locations of the facilities covered under this
plan is presented as Figure 1.
I•
Best Management Practices for Storm Water Management
Erosion and Sediment Controls
Erosion control will be accomplished through a combination of construction techniques,
vegetation, and structural features.
1. Structural Practices
The following are structural site management practices, which will minimize erosion and
sediment transport.
a. To minimize disturbance associated with installation of a facility, level and gently
sloping terrain outside the project area will not be graded, except where reasonable for
construction equipment stability and fire safety.
b. Silt barriers (e.g. brush dams, rock filter dikes, silt fences, hay bales, or water bars) will
be installed as needed on down -gradient portions of the project area.
c. Side hill cuts will be kept to a minimum to protect local resources while providing a
safe and stable plane for the efficient and safe use of equipment.
d. Where conditions warrant, erosion control structures such as berms, water bars,
diversion or collection channels, terraces, or culverts will be constructed to divert water
away from the project area and to reduce soil erosion along and adjoining areas
disturbed during construction.
e. In areas of steep slopes that are not annually cultivated, water bars or runoff diversions,
will be installed as indicated in Table 1. The water bars will begin and end in
undisturbed ground at a 2% slope.
f. Culverts may be installed at a grade ranging from 2-5 percent. Inlet protection may
include inlet aprons and rock armoring around the culvert perimeter while below grade
inlet sumps may be installed to enhance deposition. Outfall protection may include the
use of a rock armored splash pad to slow water.
Table 1
Spacing for Erosion Control Structures
Slope Diversion Spacing (Feet)
5-15% 300
16-30% 200
30+ % 100
2. Implementation of Structural Practices
a. Construction sites may utilize vegetative filters, brush dams, rock filter dikes, silt
fences, straw bale dikes, water bars, or equivalent sediment controls installed so as to
protect down slope surface waters, wetlands and roads from sediment flow due to
runoff from a storm event.
b. All grade surfaces, walls, dams and structures, vegetation, erosion and sediment control
measures and other protective devices used for erosion control will be maintained,
repaired and restored as appropriate.
c. All erosion control structures will be inspected at least every 14 days before
implementation of the reclamation phase and within 24 hours after a storm event of 1.0
inch or more. Under normal circumstances, deficiencies will be repaired in a timely
manner. The designated Inspector will maintain documentation of inspections, findings
and corrective actions.
3. Site Preparation
a. Existing cover will be removed only where necessary for the operation of equipment.
In general, vegetation will be cut off near ground level leaving the root system intact.
Cuttings may be stacked into a brush dam, distributed along the contour across
reclaimed areas during reclamation or disposed of as directed by the landowner/agency
representative.
b. Trees and large shrubs that are not cleared from the site will be protected from damage
during construction by avoiding them with equipment. For example, bulldozers will
maintain their blades in a raised position except for areas designated for clearing or to
smooth out sharp breaks in relief.
c. Grading outside the project area will be done only when necessary for the safe
operation of equipment and for fire protection.
d. Trees will be cut or trimmed only to facilitate clearing, grading, and safe installation.
4. Excavation
a. Excavated materials will be stored next to the excavation to protect the material from
vehicular and equipment traffic. As required by the COGCC Reclamation Regulations
all excavation operations on cropland shall separate and store the various A, B, and C
soil horizons.
b. Excavation in sensitive areas may be conducted according to special techniques as
specified by the landowner/agency representative.
c. Excavated surface materials will be utilized as backfill when practicable. An exception
may be some rock excavated by blasting. In these areas, some select backfill may be
required to protect the project area. Excess rock may be pushed into rock filter dikes,
used in energy dissipation zones below culverts, constructed into rock check darns
within grassed swales, distributed over a portion of the project area or disposed of off-
site.
d. All cuts made in steep rolling terrain during construction will be regraded and
contoured to blend into the adjoining landscape and to reestablish the natural drainage
patterns.
e. Materials that are unsuitable for use as backfill or excess backfill material will be
disposed at approved locations.
5. Streams and Wetlands
a. During construction near perennial streams, lakes or wetlands, sedimentation
(detention) basins, straw bales, or fabric filters may be constructed to prevent
suspended sediments from reaching downgradient watercourses, streams, lakes or
wetlands.
b. Disturbance of riparian and wetland areas will be kept to the minimum needed for
construction and installation.
c. The first 1.0 feet of topsoil from wetlands will be salvaged and redistributed over the
trench as quickly as reasonably possible following installation of the pipeline. The
seeds, roots, rhizomes, tubers, and bulbs present in the topsoil will enhance and help
speed up reclamation of wetlands disturbed by construction.
d. Where appropriate, water bars or sediment filters, such as staked straw bales or silt
fences, will be constructed adjacent to the crossings to reduce potential sedimentation
in streams or wetlands. Trenching will cross dry streams. Small flowing streams will
be crossed by fluming or trenching with a downstream silt barrier to reduce
downstream sedimentation.
Materials Handling and Spill Prevention
Hazardous materials and petroleum products to be used in construction of the Facility are
limited to fuel and lubricants for construction equipment and vehicles; small quantities of
paints and solvents; water or gel based frac fluids (surfactant, friction reducer, acid, potassium
chloride) using during completion; produced water; and, crude oil/condensate.
Refueling and lubrication of vehicles will be conducted a minimum of 100 feet back from
flowing streams and wetlands. Spills will be promptly cleaned up and contaminated materials
hauled off-site and disposed of/recycled properly. Quantities of materials on site will be
limited to "as -needed" for the immediate operations underway.
Other Controls
All wastes from materials imported to the construction site are to be removed for
disposal/recycling to an appropriate licensed disposallrecycling facility, including sanitary
sewage facilities (typically portable). No wastes of imported materials shall be buried,
dumped, or discharged to waters of the State.
There are no other pollutant sources from areas other than construction areas expected.
To prevent tracking of sediment onto public roads, the proposed facilities shall have, at a
minimum, compacted ingress and egress areas adjacent to public roads. Other means such as
using gravel, scoria, or cattle guards may be utilized if appropriate.
Maintenance
Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Company. Maintenance will be performed on an
as -needed basis based upon the results of inspections conducted at the site.
INSPECTION
Inspections will be conducted at least every 14 calendar days and within 24 -hours of any
precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inch during construction and prior to initiating reclamation.
After reclamation has been initiated inspections will be conducted at least every 30 -calendar
days and within 24 -hours of any precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inches until uniform
vegetative cover of at least 70% of pre -disturbance levels has been achieved.
Inspections will be documented and these records kept on file for three years following
reclamation. All negative inspection results will be corrected as soon as practicable.
FINAL STABILIZATION AND LONG-TERM STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
1. Reclamation
a. Unless otherwise directed by the landowner or the jurisdictional authority, rocks, cut
vegetation and other surface material temporarily stockpiled for construction will be
redistributed back across non -fenced portions of the project area following
construction.
b. Disturbed areas will be seeded using seed mixes appropriate to the location. Local soil
conservation authorities with the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, surface
owners and/or reclamation contractors familiar with the area may be consulted
regarding the correct seed mix to be utilized.
c. On terrain where drill seeding is appropriate, seed may be planted using a drill
equipped with a depth regulator to ensure proper depth of planting. The seed mix will
be evenly and uniformly planted over the disturbed area. Drilling will be used where
topography and soil conditions allow operation of equipment to meet the seeding
requirements of the species being planted.
d. Broadcast seeding will occur on steep terrain and on areas such as where the cut
vegetation and rocks were redistributed over the right-of-way.
e. Seeding will be done when seasonal or weather conditions are most favorable
according to schedules identified by the jurisdictional authority, reclamation contractor,
or landowner. Whenever possible, seeding will be timed to take advantage of moisture,
such as early spring or late fall to benefit from winter precipitation.
f. Seed mixes will be planted in the amount specified in pounds of pure live seed/acre,
where necessary. There will be no primary or secondary noxious weeds in the seed
mix.
g.
The reestablishment of vegetative cover as well as watershed stabilization measures
will be scheduled during the working season and before the succeeding winter. In any
case, revegetation treatments will be accomplished as soon as practical following
completion of facility construction.
h. In general, the applicable portions of the project area will not be mulched during
reclamation and revegetation. Mulch will only be applied at the request of the
jurisdictional authority in areas where the cut vegetation and rocks are not redistributed
over the disturbed area. (The cut vegetation and rocks will act like mulch in the areas
where they are applied.) Where straw or hay mulch is requested, the mulch will be
applied and crimped into the soil.
The need for fertilizers will be detennined in conjunction with the jurisdictional
authority. If fertilization is necessary, the rates of application will be based on site-
specific requirements of the soil.
2. Post -Construction Structural Measures
a. Permanent water bars will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at
wetland and stream crossing boundaries.
b. Trench plugs will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at wetland and
stream crossing boundaries.
c. After restoration work is complete, required repairsto vegetation, erosion, and
sediment control structures will be completed along with routine scheduled pipeline
inspections and/or in response to other notification.
