OCT 1? G4 t: GAR;!: COUNTY ctt;:;.. I will start this letter by an apology for not complying with the Garfield County Commissioners' Special Use Permit dated September 7, 1983 which was issued for one year for construction of the project. I failed to renew the permit because construction had not started, and it was an oversight on my part. I would ask that even though we have unintentionally gone past the due date of the permit an extension of the Special Use Permit be granted for another year for the following reasons: 1. BLM has not granted approval of the route, but we anticipate approval • November 1, 1984. 2. Union Oil has not generated enough products to make the expenditure of the pipeline feasible at this point. We ask that an extension of the Special Use Permit be granted for one year in lieu of going through the process of filing again. I hope this meets with your approval. If I may be of further assistance, please advise. Sincerely, ice'"'`__ �'ck E.

Dear Ralph: Please note the attached letter from Getty Trading and Transportation Company. Phone 945-6111 tom._ SEP 2 71993 jt u, etyma e 3 e After receiving the letter and some maps, and reviewing same, it appears that the proposed pipe line will not be in Garfield County road right- of-way from Union's plant to just north of DeBeque. At this location the line will cross County Road 204 (Roan Creek Road), continue west on the north side of County Road 222 (Dry Fork Road) approximately 3.25 miles and cross to the south side of the road for an additional 4.25 miles to the Mesa County line. The line then remains in Mesa County along South Dry Fork Creek to the Garfield County line at McKay Fork and Left Hand Draw. It continues up McKay Fork in Garfield County following County Road 222 for an additional 2.78 miles to the end of the county road and then on to the final destination in Fruita. Assuming the above is correct, the line will cross Garfield County roads at 2 locations and run adjacent to County Road 222 for some 10.25 miles. Garfield County Road & Bridge Department will require that a bond or letter of credit be posted in the amount of $100,000.00 for the follow- ing: 1. $25,000.00 for each of the 2 crossings ---total $50,000.00 2. $ 5,000.00 per mile of county road that will be impacted by additional heavy duty traffic total $50,000.00 Additionally, we will require that the crossing of County Road 204 be bored so as not to disturb the present asphalt driving surface and thus not to interupt or delay the normal flow of traffic. • • Please advise if you need adf-,tional information and we will be happy to provide same.

The request for additional information during the July 8, 1983 telephone conver- sation with Mr. Dan Molinsky is addressed below. Item #1: Landowner agreements. With the exception of recent, minor route changes which are addressed under separate cover, documentation of landowner Right of Way agreements should be available to your office by about August 1, 1983. For the minor route changes near Parachute, statements of no opposition and evidence of pending agreements or the agreements themselves would be avaiable. Item #2: Review/approval of Garfield County road supervisor. The County Road Supervisor's office was contacted on July 12, 1983. Appropriate details were given to the Supervisor who stated the project would receive approval shortly after the Supervisor's office received additional written information. Item #3: Employee requirements and time frames. Due to the regulatory construction restriction and potential weather related problems between December 1, and May 1, of each year, the contractor would probably mobilize a workforce larger than would normally be required for a project of this size. Therefore, previous estimates of 25-30 crew members should be scaled up to as high as 90 crew members to realize construction completion within 90 to 120 days. Operational employees are expected to number 5 or less. Although pipeline contractors normally arrange for crew accommadations, the majority of the workforce would be recruited from the local population with existing housing. 1 • • Mr. Mark Bean Page 2 July 13, 1983 Item #4: Type of equipment and tonnage on roads. The equipment ment to be used for construction of the pipeline would be similar used to some of the relatively smaller pieces of heavy egColonytandaotherwere previous during construction phases of the Union Long Ridge, construction projects in the area.

The contractor is responsible for their own storage of equipment and materials. The contractor is likely to be local and probably already has or can quickly make arrangements if significant storage space is required. Depending on timing and delivery footage, a pipe storage area may be required at the Parachute pump station location.

Mr. T. D. Evans, a corporate attorney for our firm, reviewed the relevant Colorado Statutes at my request. Based on this review, it is our conclus- ion that the pipeline entity formed to construct this particular pipeline project has, under Colorado law, the right to condemn private property for its business purposes, in instances in which it cannot obtain rights to real estate through owner's consent. We are enclosing a copy of Mr. Evans memo of July 28, 1983, which references those pertinent citations on which our conclusions are based. In view of this, we respectfully request that any requirement necessitat- ing landowner consent, and/or signature, on the requested permit applic- ation, be waived. Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated. Very truly ours, l'an D. Sanstra Manager, Right -of -Way ADS/lg cc: Mark Bean, Garfield County Planning Chuck Carpenter, Gary Energy Company • • Law Department July 28, 1983 TO: ALAN SANSTRA FROM: T.D. EVANS RE: PIPELINE COMPANY"S RIGHT OF CONDEMNATION IN COLORADO In connection with Getty Trading and Transportation Company's pro- posed construction and operation of a shale oil pipeline extending from Parachute, Colorado to Fruita, Colorado, the Company is attempting to obtain rights of way across land upon which the pipeline shall be con- structed. The Garfield County Colorado Planning Commission is consid- ering the proposed pipeline plans, but before it will approve the pipe- line, it has asked that we advise it of our right to obtain rights of way by condemnation in the event that land owners are not willing to grant rights of way for the use of said land. I have reviewed relevant Colorado statutes, and am of the opinion that the Company, or its pipeline company subsidiaries that are authori- zed to do business in Colorado, have the right to condemn land in Colorado, in accordance with the following: 1. C.R.S. (1973)Section 38-1-102 generally enables private entities to condemn land in this state. That statute bestows the right of condemnation, "In all cases where the right to take private property for public or private use without the owner's consent . . . . is conferred by general laws or special charter upon any . . . . corpo- ration ." The "general laws" of Colorado specifically grant condemnation rights to pipeline companies. For instance, C.R.S. (1973) Section 38-2-101 pro- vides as follows: "If any corporation formed for the purpose of construct- ing a . . . . pipeline . . . . is unable to agree with the owner for the purchase of any real estate or right- of-way or easement or other right necessary or required for the purpose of any such corporation for transacting its business or for any lawful purpose connected with • • Memo to Alan Sanstra Page Two the operations of the company, such corporation may acquire. title to such real estate or right of way or easement or other right in the manner provided by law for the condemnation of real estate or right of way". This statute specifically grants the right of condemnation to pipeline companies which find certain rights of way or easements or other interests in land necessary or required for the pipeline company's business. In effect, then, a pipeline company need only show that a particular right of way or easement is "necessary" or "required" for its business purposes. Colorado law grants even more specific rights of condemnation of rights of way to "transmission companies". A "transmission company" is defined as any domestic or foreign telegraph, telephone, electric, light, power, gas, or pipeline company authorized to do business under the laws of this State. Accordingly, C.R.S. (1973) Section 38-5-103 grants to pipeline companies, as "transmission companies'', the power to contract for a right of way for the construction, maintenance, and operation of its pipes,.•and for the erection, maintenance, occupation and operation of offices at suitable distances for the public's accommodation. Likewise, C.R.S.. (1973) Section 38-5-104 grants to pipeline -companies, as "transmission companies", the right of way over or under the land, pro- perty privileges, rights of way, and easements of other persons, and the right to erect pipes, substation systems and offices thereon, upon making just compensation therefor in the manner provided by law. Finally, C.R.S. (1973) Section 38-5-105 grants to pipeline companies, as "transmission companies", the power of eminent domain to obtain rights of way for pipelines, substations and systems for such purposes. When- ever such pipeline company is unable to secure such rights of way by agreement, the pipeline company may aquire title to such land in the man- ner now provided by law for the exercise of the right of eminent domain. Based upon our review of the foregoing Colorado statutes, it is our conclusion that Getty Trading and Transportation Company, or its pipe- line company facilities authorized to do business in the State, as "pipeline companies" or as "transmission companies," are granted under Colorado law the right to condemn private property for its business purposes, in instances in which it cannot obtain rights to real estate through owners' consent.
