l.I ntroduction
Serious incident situations, unless properly controlled, can result in loss of
life and damage to public or private property. Situations resulting from
spills can generate complex technical, legal and public relations problems.
It cannot be overemphasized that the best way to handle emergency
situations is to prevent their occurrence.
This Plan is designed to help Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC) respond
quickly and effectively to the problems presented by serious incidents
when they do occur. The Plan's primary goal is to help the company
prevent, as far as practical, any loss of life or damage to property, wildlife,
or the ecology.
Within this Response Plan you will find descriptions of the duties that must
be accomplished when a serious incident occurs. lt provides personnel
with procedures for handling such incidents effectively.
The Plan is prepared:
1. To serve as the basis for an organized action plan in dealing with
emergencies and spills of all magnitudes.
2. To spell out responsibility, priority and importance in countering an
emergency situation or major spill.
3. To provide information on the means of handling serious incidents and
identify the organizations that are involved.
4. To tabulate the personnel and agencies that must be notified.
Prompt action is mandatory. Forthis reason, the content of this Plan must
be understood by the persons who may have need of it. All involved
ernployees should be informed to take quick action to protect life and
property and to immediately report the incident.
The plan will require modification from time to time, as personnel change,
as technologies advance, and as experience indicates improvements.
The plan is to be reviewed annually by the EH&S staff to assure that it is
up to date.
This plan is not intended to replace existing SPCC or other required Plans,
but rather its purpose is to be a supplement providing general guidelines
for emergency situations.

The primary means of communications will be by telephone and radio'
Field operations that are Company operated wilt utilize two-way radio(s)
cornmunications and/or mobile tetepirones. Communications are designed to
allow supervisors to be in contact with the Region office.
Drillings rigs are usually equipped with either radio systems that communicate
with ttie Oritting contracior or mobile telephones. All drilling locations.will have
some means of two-way communications either onsite or within a 1S-minute
drive (all types of weather).
C omm u n itv/Pu bl ic Affai rs
Communication and public affairs are best handled by persons trained in
dealing with the media. There will be times when it is not practical to refer all
questi5ns from the media and public to our headquarters. lndeed, a factual'
short response can help reduce the time and effort ultimately needed to
respond to the media and Public.
The senior ranking BBC onsite employee or his/her designate, if approached
for a statement, .ry respond to questions from the media. The response
should be a short siatement of the facts. Estimates or speculations as to
cause or size of the problem must not be made. lnformation requests for
more than the facts reiating directly to the immediate emergency (such as our
future plans, amount of dLmage, what other hazards might exist, previous
inspeciions done at the facility, any citations we may have received, etc')
should be referred to Jim Felton (or other designated personnel)' lf you are
going to be questioned in front of a camera, consider your appearanoe and
what will be in the background (behind you) of your interview' lf possible,
your interview should belone with a neutral or nonthreatening background.
it must be emphasized to provide only the facts' Assume any camera or
recorder in the area is ON at all times (it just may be). Encourage the media
to speak with Jim Felton in the Denver oflice for any detailed information
Preservinq the Evidence
ln the aftermath of a serious incident, it becomes necessary to investigate the
incident in order to determine cause and corrective actions. Perhaps the
most impoftant aspect of this investigation is determining the facts, and as
such, the preservation of the evidence is of great importance.
With the assistance of personnel involved at the incident scene, the evidence
can be preserved and a more beneficial rnvestigation peformed The
following are basic guidelines which should be followed:
1. Secure the Area
Rope off or other control access into the incident site. Access by non-
company personnel allowed only after management approval. The only
exception being necessary aCceSS by emergency medical rescuers and
fire fighters.
2- Preserve the Evidence
As much as possible, don't disturb objects relating to the incident. lf
unavoidable, stake or mark its location and record what was there. Never
allow evidence to leave the scene with out approval'
Document the Evidence
The lncidentleader is responsible for preserving all documentation until
the investigator(s) arrive at the scene.
ldentify Witnesses
lf persons who witnessed the incident cannot remain on the scene to be
interviewed during the investigation, get their names and perlinent
information so that they can be located later.

HAZWOPER
HAZWOPER stands for "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency
Response". HAZWOPER is a regulation designed to establish a
management plan for emergencies involving hazardous materials' lt is
applic-able to oil field operatiohs primarily through the regulations addressing
ernergency responses to hazardous substance releases.
HAZWOPER defines an emergency response, or responding to emergencies,
as a response effoft by employees from outside the immediate release area
or by other designateo responoers (e.g., local fire departments, mutual-aid
g.orp., designated HAZMAT Team, etc.) to an occurrence which results or
[otentially results in an uncontrolled release of a hazardous substance.
For the purposes of this plan, the term "immediate release area" has been
defined as encompassing the Superintendent's/Area Foreman's geographical
area; therefore, if
'an
emergency situation can be mitigated by Kerr-McGee
company personnel, it is not a HAZWOPER Emergency. ln the event that an
uncontrolled release requires the response of specially trained emergency
teams to stop or control the release (e.g. Fire Department, Deparlment of
Health Services, etc.), it is a HAZWOPER response and the procedures in
this section of the "Response Manual" rnust be followed'
A.
HAZWOPER Plan Narrative
Preplanning Response Actions
Preplanning is the key to a successful emergency management plan'
Planning it handled through the training of company employees,
formulation of emergency response activities, and pre-planned
coordination with outside emergency responders. The following items
constitute BBC's preplanning actions.
All employees will be trained in Hazard Communication and Emergency
Response. This includes hazardous material container labeling, access
to, and understanding Material Safety Data sheets, and responding to
emergencies involving hazardous materials. Specific emergency
scenJrios and appropriate responses will be discussed in these training
sessions. All field employees will receive training to a minimum of "First
Responder Operations Level", as defined by HAZWOPER.
ln the event of a HMWOPER emergency, response activities will be
coordinated with contract companies trained to respond to HAZ&OPER'
The names of these companies and their emergency numbers can be
found in Section 9 and 10 of this Emergency Management Plan'
Personnel Roles and Lines of Authority
lf an incident is classified as a HAZWOPER response, the SuperintendenV
Area Foreman responsible for the facility requiring the response shall
supervise BBC personnel in emergency response activities and perform
all reporting requirements pursuant to this Emergency Response Plan'
He/she wili continue to perform these duties until such time as the
responding Emergency Response Team arrives'
Upon the arrival of the trained Emergency Response Team, the ranking
official of said team will be designated as the lncident Leader. After that
polnt, all emergency response activities will be conducted under the
direction of the lncident Leader.
C. Evacuation, Safe Distances, and Places of Refuge
Evacuation - The open air nature of oil and gas operations generally
permtts numerous safe evacuation routes. ln areas where this is not the
case, employees are directed to attempt escape along a route that takes
them upwind of an incident. Crosswind escape is suggested only until
upwind escape is appropriate. Wind direction indicators are installed on
all properties that contain H2S gas.
B.
D-
Safe Distances - Prior to the arrival of the lncident Leader mentioned in
S""ti". B, th- SuperintendenVArea Foreman or designee shall- -be
responsible for establishing the distance from the hazardous scene. After
the lncident Leader arrives on the scene, safe distances will be
established at his/her discretion.
Places of Refuqe should be established as appropriate for BBC
operations.
Employee Safety During a HAZWOPER Response
All field employees will be trained to a minimum of "First Responder
Operations Level". This training insures that the employee can operate
certain equipment on the property during an emergency in order to b.ring
the emergency condition under control. ln the course of these operations
the employee may be exposed to a hazardous environment, become
injured, or have hismer clothing become contaminated with a hazardous
material. The following items will address these issues.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is available_ to every employee'
ble to the employee will vary depending on
the hazards inherent in the subject work area' Selection, safe use,
limitations, maintenance, care and storage will be tho.roughly covered in
employee training. The Company's policies and procedures pertaining to
PPL are found in the EH&S Manual located in each atea office'
Employee training will include provisions for initial and periodic refresher
training.
Emergencv Medical Services will be provided by local hospitals, urgent
care cent"rs, ,ndE deprrt*ents. Services have been identified in
Section 10 of this Emergency Response Plan and are listed by BBC
operating area name.
Decontamination of clothing equipment will be coordinated with BBC
ffieMSDSwillbeconsultedforproperdisposalof
contaminated items.
Response Evaluation & Follow-UP
An Emergency Response Review Committee has been established for the
management and review of BBC's emergency responses ttt"f a
HAZWOPER response has occurred, the Emergency Response Review
committee will submit a report to management discussing the emergency
response. A copy of this report will be kept in the files.

INTRODUCTION
A field inspection of the Rodreick Welt site was conducted by WestWater Engineering (WWE)
biologistson September24,2007. The site map is shown in Figure l. The inspection focused
on noxious weeds and biologically sensitive areas and wildlife. This integrated vegetation and
noxious weed management plan, required by Garfield County Regulation 9.07 .04 (13) (Board of
County Commissioners 2006), uses the data obtained.
LANDSCAPE SETTING
The well pad is approximately four miles south of the town of Silt, Colorado. The site is on
relatively level land (see cover photo) at an elevation of 5,880 feet in T65, R9l W, Section 3 1,
NE%, NW%. The pad occupies almost 10 acres set in a 160 acre fee-simple parcel. The
surrounding terrain is moderately hilly covered by piflon-juniper woodland (favoring shallow
soils), big sagebrush parks (favoring deeper soils), and pasture/hay land (favoring former
sagebrush parks). Bailey's ecoregional map (Chapman et al. 2006) shows the project in the
Colorado Plateau's Shale Deserts and Sedimentary Basins Ecoregion. The soil is labeled an
Olney Loarn, which in a normal year produces approxilnately 800 pounds per acre of vegetal
growth. The U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies the rangeland ecological
iite at the Rodreick Well as a Rolling Loam (toamy soils on a rolling landscape) (I'{RCS 2007a)-
Two ponds stand on the east and northeast sides of the pad.
WEBD FINDINGS
The noxious weeds list of Garfield County and the State noxious weed list formed the search list.
These lists can be found online at
www. garfle ld-countv.com/l ndex.aspx?page:607
and at
www.colorado.gov/csiSatellite?c:Page&cid: I I 74084048733&pagename:Aqriculture-
Main%2FCDAGLayoUl.
Several weed species have established themselves around the edges of the well pad. Figures 2
through 5 illustrate some of the important species to this site. Common cocklebur (Xanthiunr
strumarium) and common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) are indeed common at this site.
Cocklbur is not listed as noxious. Common mullein is on the state's lowest control commitment
level. Figure I indicates the locations of priority noxious weeds found at the well pad site. Two
species were found, Bull Thistle (Circiunt vulgare) and Canada thistle (Circium arvense). The
construction of the well pad is yet too recent to determine with certainty what other noxious
weeds, if any, will enter the site. Generally the weeds found nearest to the site are the ones most
likely to be first to colonize the site. Canada thistle and common burdock prefer moist sites such
as around this well pad. Other weeds common in the basin south of Silt, Colorado, could appear
on the site. Russian knapweed , Acroptilon (Centaurea) repens, is one species likely to become a
problem on the site, considering it's near ubiquity on both upland and bottomland sites that have
been recently disturbed in the area. For whatever species that makes an appearance on the site,
prornpt control action will be the cheapest means of dealing with it. Table I displays the most
common noxious weeds in the area and recommended control measures.

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT MEASURES & RATIONALE
Weed Control
Herbicide treatment with trrvo or more physiological modes of action in spring and fall (fall :
after approximately August 15, when natural precipitation is present) is the best method to
control difficult perennial species such as Canadathistle and Russian knapweed (Boerboom
1999, Sulliv an2004). The resilience and ability to quickly develop immunity to herbicides,
particularly those used incorrectly, makes it imperative to use the proper chemicals at the correct
iime in the specified concentration. Most misuse seems centered around excessive use either in
frequency or concentration. This results in mostly top kill and an immune phenotype.
Standard operating procedure should be to keep soil disturbing activities to the minimum level
possible. Construction and service vehicles should park on currently disturbed lands. Fencing
may be needed to confine vehicular activities. To the extent practical, vehicles should be
frequently cleaned to prevent the spread of weed seeds that could be carried from place to place.
State-of-the-industry techniques will best control water drainage to reduce erosion. Erosion
blankets, barriers, and wattles should be of biodegradable materials. Reused materials should
only come from weed-free areas.
The following tables summarize the most effective treatment strategies for noxious weeds,
depending upon their growth habits. Table 2 includes annuals and biennials and Table 3 shows
strategies for perennial weeds.
Table 2. Treatment Strategies for Annual and Biennial Noxious Weeds
Tarset: Prevent Seed Production
1. Hard grub (pril), hoe, till, cultivate in 165ette stage and before flowering or seed maturity.
2. Chop roots below soil level.
3. Treat with herbicide in rosette or bolting stage, before flowering.
4. Mow biennials after bolting stage, before seed set. Mowing annuals may not prevent
flowerins.

Re-vegetation
The well pad was built on ground with a mix of piflon pine (Pinus edulis), Utah juniper
(Juniperus osteosperma) and big sagebru sh (Artemisia tridentata wyomingem ls) (Figures 2 and
5). It may not be practical to try to return any paft of the site to original plant cover. The best
option appears to be to plant native grass species that will quickly cover the disturbed ground and
depend on natural seed dispersal from adjacent areas to bring in the plants ofthe original ground
cover.
Sterile exotic grass species, if significantly cheaper, rnay be planted on interim rehabilitation
areas (areas that will generally have little traffic after the completion and during normal
operation of the well site, but predictably will be re-disturbed). Permanent reclamation must
only use native plant seed. This is because native plants give the best chance of allowing other
native plants to return to the site naturally, the soil environment under a native plant cover
supports a more diverse and healthy microbiotic community, and native plant seeds pose less of a
threat to adjacent lands (CNHP 1998). Table 4 provides the seed formula.

Seed should be applied imrnediately upon completion of construction. Drilling is preferred, yet
broadcasting at the application rates indicated in Table 4 onto a roughened surface, followed by
harrowing, may be done. Re-seeding may be required if monitoring indicates lack of adequate
germination. Re-seeding should be done at the optimum season, late fall. WWE can provide
additional help as company environmental managers plan the approach Barrett Corporation will
take in meeting Garfield County requirements for the rehabilitation of the Rodreick Well site.
Monitoring
Monitoring for targeted weeds and re-seeding success should be performed on a bi-weekly basis
beginning at spring green-up and continuing through the growing season.
Monitoring by qualified personnel should be conducted using Table 5 as a general guide to key
plant growth periods and best control periods. Whitson et al. (1996) is a recommended field
guide to weed identification.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
BILL BARRETT CORPORATION
MAMM CREEK FIELD
GARFIELD COUNTY, CO
O.O INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared for the BILL BARRETT CORPORATION (the
Company) MAMM CREEK FIELD in order to identifo Best Managernent Practices (BMPs) which will be implemented
to meet the terms and conditions of the Colorado General 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 rules and regulations promulgated by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
This SWMP is divided into two sections: the Reference Section and the Site Specific Section. The Reference Section,
also referred to as the Master SWMP, contains information that is applicable to all Sites. The Site Specific Section
includes Site maps and discussion regarding each Site; this information will be updated over time as the activities at each
site progress and change. Both Sections together are referred to as a "Field SWMP."
The SWMP Administrator is Scot Donato.
The following Sections 1.0,2.0, and 3.0 comprise the Reference Section of the SWMP.
1.0 FIELD PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The below sections (a) through (h) follow the General Permit C.l.(a) through (h).
(a) THE COMPANY is constructing the oil & gas production facilities located in Garfield County, Colorado, which
involves oil & natural gas well drilling, completion and production facilities, and associated roads and pipelines. The
facilities meet the CPDHE term of a "common plan of development," which is defined as a site where multiple separate
and distinct construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules, but still under a single
plan.
(b) This section discusses the major steps for completion of the different fypes of construction activities. Construction of
each type offacility follows a typical, consistent procedure.
The consffuction sequence for major activities for construction at oil & natural gas well pads consists of:
o Clearing vegetation and establishing perimeter stormwater control as shown on the Site diagrams;
o Removing and stockpiling topsoil, grading and compacting the project areas level;
o Excavating the reserve pit;
r Moving in drilling equiprnent and drilling oil & gas well;
o Removing all drilling equipment and moving in cornpletion equipment to complete well;
o Removing all completion equipment and installing semi-permanent production equipment; and
o
Re-seeding/reclaiming the rernaining disturbed area with unifonn vegetative cover to at least 71oh of pre'
disturbance levels, referred to as Final Stabilization. Note that stabilized unpaved surfaces can meet the
definition of Final Stabilization for those areas that must remain unvegetated for production operations at a
well pad.
Portions of a site retumed to cropland use and the control of the farmer to not require establishment of
vegetative cover. Once returned, these areas are no longer regulated as consffuction activity.
The sequence of rnajor activities for construction of the access roads consists of:
o Clearing and grading the road right-of-way;
o Cutting the roadside drainage ditches;
Contouring and compaction of existing or imported materials;
Emplacing and compacting roadbase as appropriate;
Re-seeding/reclaiming the remaining disturbed area with uniform vegetative cover to at least 1lYo of pre-
disturbance levels.
Following construction of the well for which the access road was built, dirt road surfaces will remain for
access to the well and are considered 'stabilized unpaved surfaces.'
The sequence of major activities for construction of the pipeline route consists of:
o Clearing and grading the road right-of-way;
. Trenching for the pipeline install;
Welding pipe together and placing in the kench;
Backfilling and compacting the trench;
Re-seeding/reclaiming the remaining disturbed area with unifonn vegetative cover to at least 70%o of pre'
disturbance levels.
The sequence of major activities for construction of the completion and production facilities consists of:
o Installing production facilities including tanks, separators, and piping.
Regrading the surrounding area for reclaimation as appropriate.
Re-seeding/reclaiming the remaining disturbed area with uniform vegetative cover to at least 70o/o of pre-
disturbance levels.
Where the above procedures differ during actual construction activities andthe change results in a change to a BMP at a
site, this will be described in the corresponding Site-Specific Section.
(c) The approxirnate total area of the Marnm Creek Field is 20,306 acres. The approximate areas to be disturbed at each
individual Site are as described in the Site-Specific Section.
(d) USGS topographic maps were used to evaluate the topography of the Sites. The topography and natural site drainage
are discussed in the Site Specific Sections. If wetlands are present at any individual facility and the potential impact to the
wetlands is determined to fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers (Army Corps), the Atmy Corps
will be consulted for the proper permit(s) as appropriate, and the construction methodology outlined in the permit will be
followed.
(e) The majorify of the project area is located in short grass prairie or range land, and existing vegetation may include
range-type grasses, sage brush, forbs, pinyon, juniper trees, willows and cottonwoods. Vegetative ground cover ranges
a
a
from approximately l\YotolO%. A description of the existing vegetation at each of the Sites is included in the Site
Specific Sections.
(f) The most common substances that have the potential to be spilled within the project area are: I ) fuel and lubricants for
construction equipment and vehicles; 2) water or gel based frac fluids (surfactant, friction reducer, acid, potassium
chloride) using during completion, sand;3) produced water; and 4) produced crude oil/condensate. The locations for
storage and handling of these substances will be chosen based on protection fi'om moving vehicles, distance from surface
water bodies, distance from sloped ground, and other practical factors. The locations are shown on the Site maps in the
Site-Specific Section.
(g) No non-storm water components of storm water discharge such as inigation return flows or spring discharge are
anticipated. If non-storm water discharges are found to be required at a Site, a discussion will be included in the Site-
Specific Section.
(h) The potential receiving water bodies for surface water drainage from the Sites will be Divide Creek, Dry Hollow
Creek and Mamm Creek. The receiving water body for each Site is noted in the Site-Specific Section.
2.0 STORMWATERPOLLUTIONPREVENTION
This section covers the specifications of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be applied during construction
activities covered in this SWMP. The implementation of BMPs in the field will be shown on the Site maps, and
deviations from the specifications below will be discussed in the Site-Specific Section.
2.1 Erosion and Sediment Controls (BMPs)
Erosion conffol will be accomplished through a cornbination of construction techniques, use of structural
features, and non-structural practices. Erosion controls, as appropriate, will be implemented prior to
successive phases ofeach project including; site clearing, road grading, and final pad grading. The controls
will remain in place and active until the project site is appropriately stabilized.
2.1.1 ConstructionTechniques
Excavation
a. Excavated materials will be stored next to the excavation to protect the material from vehicular and
equipment traffic. As required by the Reclamation Regulations all excavation operations on cropland shall
separate and store the various A, B, and C soil horizons.
b. Excavation in especially sensitive areas may be conducted according to special techniques as specified by
the landownerl agency representative
c. Materials excavated 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 dams within grassed swales, distributed over a portion of the project area or disposed of off-site.
d. A11 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.
f. Temporary workspace areas will be restored to approximate pre-construction conditions.
Streams and Wetlands
a. During construction near perennial streams, lakes or wetlands, sedirnentation (detention) basins, straw bales,
or fabric filters may be constructed to prevent suspended sediments fiom reaching downgradient
watercourses, sffeams, lakes or wetlands.
b. Disturbance of riparian and wetland areas will be kept to the minimum needed for construction and
installation. Approaches to streams will involve selective clearing of vegetation. Willows and cottonwoods
cleared during construction will be reestablished as part of reclamation.
c. If work occurs in willow/shrub type areas, the small trees and shrubs may be trimmed to ground level in
areas where equipment will be working.
d. The first 1.0 feet of topsoil from wet areas will be salvaged and redistributed over the excavation 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 wet areas disturbed by construction.
e. 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.
2.1 .2 Structural Features
Structural site management practices refer to physical structures such as vegetative filters, soil roughening,
crimped straw, 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
runofffrom a storm event. Specifically, during construction, soil roughening, crimped straw, silt fences, straw
bale dikes, water bars, terracing, or equivalent sediment controls are recommended for all side slope and down
slope boundaries for the construction area. Alternatively, a detention basin providing storage for runoff from a
10-year, 24-hour storm event could be irnplemented. Below are listed several considerations for structural
practices:
a. To minimize disturbance associated with installation of the Facility, level and gently sloping terrain outside
the project area will not be graded, except where reasonable for construction equipment stability and ftre
safety.
b. Silt barriers and deterrents (eg. crimped straw, 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. Typical silt barrier
construction are shown on BMP figures
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
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. ln areas of steep slopes that are not annually cultivated, water bars or runoff diversions, will be installed as
indicated in Table l. The water bars will begin and end in undisturbed ground at a2oh slope.
f. Culverts may be installed at a grade ranging from 2-5 o/o. Inlelprotection 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.

Post-Construction Structural Measures will include:
a. Permanent water bars will be installed on steep slopes according to Table I and at wetland and sfream
crossings.
b. Trench plugs will be installed on steep slopes according to Table 1 and at wetland and stream crossings.
After restoration work is complete, required repairs to vegetation and erosion and sediment control structures will
be completed along with routine scheduled pipeline inspections and/or in response to other notification.
2.1.3 Non-Structural Practices
Non-structural practices such as leaving existing vegetation, shrubs, and trees in place where possible, and
interim reclamation such as interim seeding of select areas, mulching, geotextile fabrics, and vegetative
buffbrs, will be employed wherever practicable to assist in preventing erosion from project sites. The
following describes some general practices, and implementation at each site will be discussed in the Site-
specific information.
a. Existing cover will be removed only where necessary for the operation of equiprnent. In general, vegetation
will be cut off near ground level leaving the root system intact. Cuttings may be stacked into a brush dam,
200

b.
distributed along the contour across reclaimed areas during reclamation or disposed of as directed by the
landowner/agency representative.
Trees and large shrubs that are not cleared frorn the site will be protected from damage during construction
by avoiding them with equipment. For example, bulldozers will rraintain their blades in a raised position
except for areas designated for clearing or to smooth out sharp breaks in relief.
Grading outside the project area will be done only when necessary for the safe operation of equipment and
for fire protection.
Trees will be cut or trimmed only to facilitate clearing, grading, and safe installation. Trees which must be
removed will be cut. Trees outside the area of disturbance will not be cut, but will only have overhanging
limbs removed by cutting, with the tree to remain. The bulldozers will maintain their blade in a raised
position in sensitive visual resource areas, where practicable.
Interim reclamation of soil stockpiles and other appropriate areas may be implemented to prevent erosion
from these areas. lnterim seeding, mulching, or geotextile fabrics may be used to stabilize slopes. Cut or
existing live vegetation may be used as a vegetative buffer to slow runoff water flow and prevent sediment
from reaching live water.
Following construction, the following non-structural practices will be employed:
t.
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
ofthe project area.
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.
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
disnrrbed area. Drilling may be used where topography and soil conditions allow operation of equipment to
meet the seeding requirements of the species being planted.
Broadcast seeding will occur on steep terrair and on areas such as where the cut vegetation and rocks were
redistributed over the right-of-way.
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 precipitation.
Seed rnixes 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.
As far as possible, 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.
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
rnulch in the areas where they are applied.) Where straw or hay mulch is requested, the mulch will be
applied and crimped into the soil.

m.
n. The need for fertilizers will be determined in conjunction with the jurisdictional authority, surface owners
and/or reclamation contractors. If fertilization is necessary, the rates of application will be based on site-
specific requirements of the soil.
2.2 Phased BMP Implementation
There are many possible options for application of BMPs during the phases of construction outlined in Section I (b)
above. The actual implementation will depend on the conditions at the individual Sites.
As such, site-specific BMP changes from phase to phase will be noted on the Site maps and, if needed, described in
writing in the Site-Specific Sections. Each time that a BMP is changed, the Site map will be updated. The Site maps and
written sections are intended to be dynamic - changing fiequently to reflect the actual conditions in the field. The
exception to this will be at the very beginning of the activities, when the Site-Specific Sections will show the anticipated
activities.
2.3 Materials Handling and SpillPrevention
Hazardous materials and petroleum products to be used in construction of the facilities are limited to diesel 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. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for materials to be used on sites will be available either at the Site
or the closest regional office.
Practices for the prevention of pollution.4yg"tg.$elg1je]:I91{li1g are specifically outlined in the Spill Prevention, Control
and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. A;c-qpy-:ejtr6j.ffiP"&An isjavailable at the Silt field office.
The general BMPs that will be employed at all sites include:
o 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 oflrecycled properly.
r Quantities of materials on site will be limited to "as-needed" for the immediate operations underway.
o All waste 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).
2.4 VEHICLE TRACKING CONTROL
To prevent tracking of sediment onto public roads, the facilities shall have, at a minimum, compacted ingress and egress
areas adjacent to public roads. Other means such as gravel/scoria placement, or cattle-guards may be utilized if
appropriate.
2.5 WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL
No wastes of imported materials shall be buried, dumped, or discharged to waters of the State, and there are no anticipated
pollutant sources from areas other than construction areas.
2.6 GROUNDWATER AND STORMWATER DEWATERING
3.0 MAINTENANCE ANd INSPECTION
Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Company. Maintenance will be performed on an as-needed basis based upon
the results ofinspections conducted at the site or general observations during atly reason for being present on the site.
The baseline schedule for inspection of the construction sites is outlined below. If deviations from the baseline schedule
are found to be required, approval of alternative schedules will be pursued from the CDPHE. lnformation regarding an
alternative schedule will be included on the respective Site-specific section.
l. An inspection of the Site to document pre-existing conditions will be conducted prior to construction
activities.
2. During construction activities, inspections will be conducted at least every l4 calendar days and within 24-
hours of any precipitation event exceeding 1.0 inch during construction and prior to initiating reclamation.
An exception to the 24-hour post-storm inspection requirement is if a site is "terrporarily
idle," meaning that no construction activities will occur following a stonn event. In this
case, an inspection is required prior to re-commencing construction activities, but no later
than72 hours following the storm event. If this exception occurs, it will be documented in
the Site-specific section.
3. ln the case where the following three conditions are met, the pennittee is allowed to reduce the inspection
frequency to once a month, and post-storrn inspections are not required. The conditions are:
All construction activities that will result in surface ground disturbance are completed (this
may include some well completion activities);
All activities required for final stabilization, in accordance with the SWMP, have been
completed, with the possible exception of the application of seed that has not occurred due
to seasonal conditions or the necessity for additional seed application to augment previous
efforts (this allows for seeding to occur in more favorable growing conditions); and
The SWMP has been amended to indicate those areas that will be inspected in accordance
with this reduced schedule. This will be noted in the Site-specific section of this SWMP.
The monthly schedule described above is allowed for sites within a field permit that meet the final
stabilization preparation criteria and are waiting for the 70o/o vegetative cover to be achieved.
4. Inspections are not required at sites where construction activities are temporarily halted, snow cover exists of
the entire site for an extended period of time, and melting does not pose a risk of surface erosion. If this
situation occurs, it will be documented in the Site-specific section of this SWMP.
5. lnspections will be documented and these records kept on file for three years following reclamation.
6. Negative inspection results will be corrected as soon as practicable. Reporting requirements for
noncompliance are outlined in Part II A. 3 of the General Permit. The 24-hour spill reporting hotline is
I -877-s I 8-s608.

Separation equipment is not
provided with a means of
secondary containment as
specified by I 1 2.9(c)(2).
Secondary containment for
separation equtPment is not
practicable for the following
reasons:
1) Dikes and trenches would
intefere with site access for
normal operations.
2) Dikes and trenches can
trap explosive and toxic
gases creating a safetY
hazard.
The volume of oil stored in separation
equipment is typically insufficient to reach
waters of the U.S even in the event that
the total capacity of the unit is released.
Any spills or accidental releases of oil from
separation equipment located outside of
diked areas are promptly cleaned up by the
operator. ln addition, the operator has
implernented an oil spill contingency plan
and has provided a written commitment of
manpower (Appendix B).
Drainage from undiked areas

(Aooendix B).
2.7 Spill Predictions, Volumes, Rates, and Control [112'7(b)]
Failure modes, rates of flow, discharge quantities, and prevention rneasures for storage tanks, truck
loading/unloading, process units, and piping are presented below'
Expected maximum flow rates, flow directions, and maximum quantities for individual sites are listed in
Appendix A.
Bulk Storage Tank Leak or Failure
l. Failure Modes: Corrosion, vandalism, lightning strikes, valve or piping failure, overfilling.
ll. Rateof Flow: Variable,dependinguponthetype,sizeandlocationof thetankfailure. The
ambient temperature at the time of the release may affect the viscosity of the oil and thereby impact the
rate of flow. Flow rates for corrosion failure are typically low, ranging from less than a gallon per day to a
gallon per hour. Flows resulting from valve and piping failures or vandalism typically range frorn a gallon
[er hour up to the tank contenti per hour. Lightning strikes may result in a release that is essentially
instantaneous.
Ill. Discharge Quantity: Variable depending upon the type and location of the failure- The total
quantity discharged would not exceed the working capacity of the largest tank.
lV. preventative Measures: Storage tanks are construcied in accordance with API industry
standards. Materials used in constructing the tanks are compatible with the substances stored. Where
practicable, earthen berms or other diversionary structures are utilized to control any released fluids.
bompacted natural clay/loam bases and berms with gravel armor or concrete are utilized for containment
in the event of a release from and of this iype equipmeni. The containment areas are constructed to
contain a minimum of 100% of the single targest container within the containment structure plus freeboard
for precipitation. Tanks are appropriately sized to rninimize the risk of overfilling.
Tanker Truck Loading and Unloading Operations
SPCC Plan Page 6
l. Failure Modes: Piping or valve failure, tank failure, overflow, and human error.
ll. Rate of Flow: Variable depending upon the type, size and exact location of the failure, and the
amount of oil in the tanker truck and storage tank. The ambient temperature at the time of the release
rnay affect the viscosity of the oil and thereby impact the rate of flow. Flow rates resulting from piping and
valve failures can range from '1 gallon per hour up to the tank contents in less than one hour. The flow
ratefortanktruckoverflowstypiLallywill notexceed5to'l0bblsperminute. Tankfailuresmayresultin
releases that are essentially instanianeous.
lll. Discharge Quaniity: Variable depending upon the type and location of the failure. The total
quantity discharged would not exceed the working capacity of the largest tank.
lV. preventative Measures: Oil production is removed from the facility by truck. Tanker truck loading
and unloading operations are conducted in accordance with United States Department of Transportation
regulations (4g CFR 177). All loading operations are attended by the truck driver. No smoking or open
flames are allowed in the vicinity of the storage tanks and loading area. Following the completion of
loading operations, the transfer line is disconnected and all valves and outlets on the tanker truck and the
storage tank are visually inspected for leakage prior to vehicle departure.
Process Unit Failure (Separator/Heater Treater/Gun Barrel)
l. Failure Modes: Process vessels may rupture or associated lines, valves and gauges may fail or
leak. Leaks from corrosion or at valves and connections. If pressure relief valves dump to a flare or vent,
this may result in a release.
ll. Rate of Flow: Variable, depending upon the mode and extent of the failure. The maximum
expected rate of flow from a process unit failure is the oil production rate of the Well plus any additional
fluid volume contained in the vessel above the elevation of the rupture.
lll. Discharge Quantity: Variable, depending on the type of failure and the length of iime that the
failure went undetected.
Vl. Preventative Measures: Process units are constructed in accordance with API and ASME industry
standards. Where practicable, earthen berms or other diversionary structures are utilized to control any
released fluids.
Piping Failure
l. Failure Modes: Both aboveground and buried pipelines may rupiure or corrode and leak.
Associated flanges, screwed connections, valves and gauges are also subject to corrosion and may fail or
leak. Piping mJy be damaged from construction activities. At the wellhead, there rnay be leaks at the
stuffing box, valves, and connections.
ll. Rate of Flow: Variable, depending on the size and location of the piping-related failure. The
maximum potential rate of flow is not expected to exceed the oil production rate.
lll. Discharge Quantity:Variable depending upon the type and extent of the failure and the length of
time that the failure went undetected.
lV. Prevention Measures: Flowlines to the tank battery are steel and/or poly pipe. Flowlines are
typically buried and secondary containment is not practicable. Corrosion inhibitor is utilized to prevent
SPCC Plan Page 7
a
cgrrosion. During pipeline excavation projects pipelines are inspected for signs of excessive corrosion or
siress. Personnel routinely perform visual inspections of aboveground piping and buried flowline right-of-
ways to detect leaks and/or failures. Lines are repaired or replaced as appropriate if leaks, failures,
excessive corrosion or stress are indicated.
2.8 Gontainment and/or Diversionary Structures [1 12.7(c)]
The aboveground storage tanks have berms for secondary containment. Secondary containment for truck
loading/unloading area, separation equipment, and piping is not practicable in manyinstances. See
Appendix A for site-specific information. See Appendix B for the oil spill contingency plan. Contact
iniormation for company personnel, cleanup and other contractors, and government regulatory agencies is
included in Appendix C. The central depot for spill response equipmeni is the Field Office. Granular
absorbent material, pads, booms, shovels, brooms, earthmoving equipment for spill containment, and
empiy drums are available for dispatch from this site. Oil transport trucks, including contract oil haulers,
carry spill control kits.
3.0 INSPECTIONS PROGEDURES (112.7 el
The pumper will informally inspect the production equipment in his area on each visit (daily to weekly).
Aformal inspection of the production equipment will be conducted, documented, and signed by the
operator at least annually.

possibitity of a clischarge as desuibed in $ 112.1(b), close and seal at all times drains of
dikes or drains of equivalentmeasures requtred under S 112.7(c)(I), exceptwhen draining
uncontaminated rainwater. Prior to drainage, you must inspect the diked area and take
action as providecl in $ t 12.8(c)(3)(il, ftii), and (iv). You must remove accumulated oil on the
rainwater and return it to storage or dispose of it in accordance with legally approved
methods.
(2) Inspect at regularly schedttled intervalsfeld drainage systems (such as drainage ditches
or roacl ditches), ancl oil traps, sumps, or sbimmers, for an dccun'tulation of oil that nmy have
resulted from any small discl'targe. You must promptly remove alxy accutlxulations of oil.
SPCC Plan Page 10
7.4
Drainage from diked storage areas is controlled as follows:
1 12.e(b) (1 )
The containment areas are inspected several times per week when operating personnel visit the site. Any
accumulation of oil resulting from a discharge is promptly removed'
No drainage from containment areas should be required. Water accumulated in the bermed areas will be
inspected to rnsure compliance with applicable waier quality standards and will not create a harmful
discharge as defined in 40 CFR part 110.3 which includes oilthat causes a film or sheen upon or
discoloration of the surface of the water. lf necessary, fluids within the containment area will be recovered
and placed back into the production system or taken to an approved disposal site. Personnel must record
any drainage events, including date, hydrocarbons present, and volume drained.
AStormwater lnspection Procedure and Drainage Record Form is presented in Appendix F.
b. Drainage from undiked areas is controlled as follows:
1 12.e(b) (2)
Hydrocarbon storage vessels are located within bermed areas to prevent spills into undlked areas.
Field drainage dikes and road ditches will be inspected for accumulaiion of oil or oil contamtnated soil.
BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS/SECONDARY CONTAINMENT [1 1 2.9(c)]
7.1 Tank compatibility with its contents:
1 1 2.g(c)(1) Not use a container for the storage of oil unless its material and construction are
compatible with the material stored and the conditions of storage.
The ASTs onsite are constructed of welded steel in accordance with API standards. The tanks are
specifically designed to hold oil and/or water and the materials of construction are compatible with the
contents.
7.2 Secondary containment:
112.9(c)(2) Provide all tank battery, separation, and treatingfacility installations with a
secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and
sufficientfreeboard to contain precipitation. You must safely confine drainagefrom undiked
areas in a catchment basin or holding pond.
The permanent secondary containment has been designed to hold the entire contents of the largest tank
with sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation. The gas/liquid separator and associated piping do not
have secondary containment, but the facility is covered by an oil spill contingency plan and a commitment
of manpower, equipment, and materials.

pumper/gauger is delayed in making regularly scheduled rounds.
(ii)-Overflow equalizing lines between containers so that a full container can overflow to
an adjacent container.
(iii) Vacuum protection adequate to prevent container collapse during a pipeline run or
other transfer of oilfrom the container.
(iv) High level sensors to generate and transmit an alarm signal to the coruputer where
thefacility is subject to a computer production control system.

implemented:
SPCC PIan Page 12
Oil production is removed from the facility by truck. Tanker truck loading and unloading operations are
conducted in accordance with United States Department of Transportation regulations (49 CFR 177). All
loading operations are attended by the truck driver. No smoking or open flames are allowed in the vicinity
of the storage tanks and loading area. Following the completion of loading operations, the transfer line is
disconnected and all valves and outlets on the ianker truck and the storage tank are visually inspected for
leakage prior to vehicle departure.
8.2 lnspection
I 12.9(d) (l) Periodically and upon a regular schedule inspect all aboveground valves and
piping assocrafed with transfer operations for the general condition of flange ioints, valve glands and
bodies, drip pans, pipe supporls, pumping well polish rod stuffing boxes, bleeder and gauge valves,
and other such iiems.
Pipelines are 2-inch diameter lines or less with a maximum length of a few hundred feet. All piping
associated with transfer operations is coated to prevent corrosion.
Personnel view and informally inspect aboveground valves and piping several times per week as part of
their routine maintenance schedule. Any deficiencies or equipment failures are reported to the field
supervisor and corrected promptly. Aboveground valves and piping are formally inspected on an annual
basis. These annual facility inspections are documented on the facility inspection form shown in Appendix

BBC OIL SPILL CONTINGENCY PLANS AND
WRITTEN COMMITMENT OF MANPOWER, EQUIPMENT, AND MATERIALS
Secondary containment or diversionary structures are impracticable for portions of this facility for the
following reasons (attach additional pages if necessary):
All aboveground oil storage tanks at this facility are contained within diked areas.
Secondary Containment for line treaters, separation units, oil loading areas, and underground flowlines
may be impracticable at this facility for the following reasons:
1) All line treaters and separation vessels at newly constructed batteries are ASME coded flow-
through process vessels and are NOT oil storage vessels'
Z) Secondary containment diking around fired line treaters may represent a safety hazard.
3) The most likely type release from line treaters or separation units is a pressure release from the
"pop-off' valve discharging gas rather than crude oil.
4) A safe and effective dike system would be difficult to design and impracticable to construct for
loading areas, line treaters, separation vessels, and flowlines.
5) Underground flowlines typically operate at much less than their rated pressure.
6) Extensive diking andior drainage trenches would interfere with site access for normal operations
and also with current surface land uses. Extensive diking and/or trenching may represent a physical
hazard as well as an impediment to emergency response equipment and personnel.

OIL SPILL CONTROL AND CONTINGENCY PLAN
FORWARD
Constant vigilance and a personal dedication to protection of the environment should be the goal of every
BBC employee. Every safeguard should be taken to prevent the accidental discharge of oil to soil or water,
and immediate response tooil spills is every employee's responsibility, Preveniive action is our best
measure to hold oil discharges to a minimum and reduce the potential pollution danger. The following
contingency plan forms the basrs to meet this challenge.
This alert procedure becomes effective immediately upon the observance of or hearing of an oil spill from
any company facilities. Any employee observing or receiving knowledge of an oil spill must immediately
talie actions to minimize injuries and damage and notify the designated person. Make sure all steps taken
are in accordance with good safety practices. The priority in all circumstances will be to protect life.

PECTION PROCEDURE AND DRAINAGE

o
STORMWATER INS
Earthen berms, containment rings, and other containment structures are inspected on a regular basis for
accumulations of oil and precipitation. These inspections are not typically documented" Generally'
drainage from containment structures is not conducted. Minor accumulations of precipitation are allowed
to evaporaie. Large accumulations of fluids may be removed by vacuum truck and either returned to a
separation vessel for processing or transporled to a permitted recovery/disposal facility'
ln the unlikely event that drainage events are conducted, the accumulated stormwater is visually
inspected for contamination from oil. NO oil is released from or pumped from within the berm onto
the ground or into a water course. Dralnage or pumping does not occur until the fluids have been
inspected for oil. Draining only occurs with constant visual supervision of the drain outlet, and only
after determining that the water is indeed fresh. Draining ceases at the first sign of an oil sheen and
the remaining fluid is removed and properly treated or disposed' The foreman in charge of the
facility operations is consulted before any berm is drained or purged'
As required by law, any time that stormwater is discharged frorn the dike, a record of the inspection'
discharge and oil removal is to be maintained. The following is the discharge record:

Witdlife Assessment and Management Report
Rodrieck Well Pad
Bill Barrett Corporation
Garfield County, Colorado
Prepared for:
Bill Barrett Corporation
Prepared by:
WestWater Engineering
2570 Foresight Circle #1
Grand Junction, CO 81505
(In Cooperation with Wagon Wheel Consulting, Inc.)
Looking north along Garfield County Road 3ll, Rodreick Well Pad in photo center
November 2007
INTRODT]CTION
A field inspection of the Rodreick Well site was conducted by WestWater Engineering (WWE)
biologists on Septemb er 24,2007. The site map is shown in Figure I . The inspection focused
on noxious weeds, biologically sensitive areas and wildlife. This wildlife assessment and
management report, required by Garfield County Regulation 9.07 .04 ( l3) (Board of County
Commissioners 2006), uses the data obtained.
LANDSCAPE SETTING
The well pad is approximately four miles south o1'the town of Silt, Colorado. The site is on
relatively level land (see cover sheet figure) at an elevation of 5,880 feet in T65, R9l W, Section
31, NE%, NW%. The pad occupies almost l0 acres set in a 160 acre fee-simple parcel. The
surrounding terrain is moderately hilly covered by piffon-juniper (PJ) woodland (favoring
shallow soils), big sagebrush parks (favoring deeper soils), pasture/hay land (favoring former
sagebrush parks), and several ponds or small lakes. Bailey's ecoregional map (Chaprnan et al.
2006) shows the project in the Colorado Plateau's Shale Deserts and Sedimentary Basins
Ecoregion. The U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies the rangeland ecological
site at the Rodreick Well as a Rolling Loam (loamy soils on a rolling landscape) (NRCS 2007).
Two ponds stand on the east and northeast sides of the pad (Figure 2).
RESULTS
Big Game
Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) places the area within Game ManagementUnit 42.
Mule deerl and elk severe winter range surrounds the well site. CDOW defines severe winter
range to be where 90 percent of a species of wildlife are concentrated during the worst two
winters in ten. Every winter both deer and elk concentrate in the area. Apparently elk in the area
have adapted to higher densities of roads than is typical elsewhere (Lyon 1983). The sagebrush
generally shows moderate to extreme hedging from big game browsing. This suggests that a
shortage of sagebrush is a limiting factor in big g:rme winter range carrying capacity. The piflon
pine-Utah juniper woodlands on steeper, rockier slopes provide escape and loafing cover for deer
and elk.
Black bears typically center their summer activities in the aspen zone and move into the
mountain shrub zone in mid August to fatten up for winter hibernation. This is typical, but bears
exhibit atypical behavior and do it frequently when mast crops fail in their usual range.
Birds

I Scientific names will only be used herein where confusion seems likely, because English common narnes for
vertebrate wildlife are better known regionally and are as stable as are scientific names.
WestWater Engineering Page2 of8 pages Novernber 2007
Figure 2. Two ponds on the east and northeast sides of the Bill Barrett Corporation
Rodriek Well Pad, Garfield County, Colorado. A third pond is also visible off site.
The mourning dove is the common game bird in the area (Righter et a|.2004). Weedy plants
that usually invade after an area is disturbed provide food for mourning doves plus several non-
game birds, especially finches. Several of these '''weed" species can actually be desirable in that
they fill in where a rehabilitation seeding fails to establish. By filling in these areas, plants help
suppress noxious weeds, while feeding a list of wildlifb species. Examples of such weeds are
common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), stork's bill (Erodium cicutariurz), kochia (Bassia
scoparia), and Russian thistle (Salsola kal). The livestock culture attracts wild turkeys out of
the mountain shrub and Douglas fir habitat, south of the area.
Birds of Conservation Concern (BOCC) are known to be in the area. These include northern
harrier, golden eagle, loggerhead shrike, piflon jay, Bewick's wren, black-throated gray warbler,
and Brewer's sparrow (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2002). None of these species have
potential for nesting and/or significant foraging within any habitat of the type that could be
affected by the well.
Severalraptors reside orpassthroughthe basin south of Silt. Kim Potter(U.S. Forest Service
biologist, Rifle, Colorado, pers. cornm.) reports nesting red-tailed hawks, American kestrels, and
long-eared owl in the basin. Strong evidence exists for great horned owls, Cooper's hawks, and
northern saw-whet owls also nesting in the area. Swainson's and sharp-shinned hawks may nest
in the area as well. Reports suggest that barn owls and western screech owls have expanded their
WestWater Engineering Page ,1 ol'8 pages November 2007
ranges into the area almost certainly due to the recent stretch of rnild winters (K. Potter pers.
comm.). Northern pygmy owls, northern goshawks, rough-legged hawks, merlins, and bald
eagles winter in the basin. The development of the basin south of Silt by the petroleum industry
undoubtedly has had and will have increasing adverse effects on raptors, as with rnost other
native wildlife species.
Other Wildlife
Widely distributed game species (small game, furbearers) include rock squirrel, mountain
cottontail, red fox, and coyote. In addition to the birds mentioned above, other non-game
wildlife that characterize the areaare Hopi chipmunk, Woodhouse toad, norlhern leopard frog,
western terrestrial garter snake, and various commonly detected invertebrates, such as alfalfa and
monarch butterflies (Duff and Lawson 2004, Hanrmerson 1986, Opler and Wright 1999). The
frog is a Colorado State Species of Special Concern. The two ponds appear to be suitable habitat
for the toad, frog, and snake, but none were detected in the inspection.
PLANNED WILDLIFE MEASURES AND RATIONALE
The Rodreick Well Pad was built on pastureland. Returning it to this vegetative cover after site
closure should not be difficult. Returning it to the original native cover would require decades.
It would depend upon natural vegetative comrnunity succession rather than a deliberate planting
of PJ and sagebrush plants (See the Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management
Plan for the Rodreick Project for specific vegetation treatment and management plans).
If site expansion is ever contemplated, minimizing impacts to migratory birds by scheduling
vegetation clearance outside the primary nesting season of May 1 5 to July 3 l, should be done.
Wildlife would benefit if the peak of work-over and construction activity can avoid the critical
time for deer and elk, December 1 to April 30. Table I displays the most critical periods for
wildlife in the Rodreick Well area. April l5 to 30 would be the least sensitive part of this winter
time period.
Construction and service vehicle drivers should be encouraged to maintain rnodest speeds to
reduce the chances of striking wildlife on Garfield County Road 3 I I . Advisory signs with this
cautionary message could be placed on site at the well pad. Additional speed limit signs can be
requested of the county if collisions with wildlife become common.
Black bears may pass through the Rodreick Well site. If they detect human food in any form,
garbage or other, they will be attracted to it. The maxim cannot be expressed too often, that "a
fed bear is a dead bear". It is highly recommenderd that food and garbage be stored in a secure
manner, with the timely removal of garbage, so as to not habituate bears to human facilities.

cones. Rodreick Well Pad should be assessed for heater-treater stacks that may yet need these
cones to provide complete protection. Mountain bluebirds (Figure 4) are frequent victims of
unscreened exhaust stack tops.

Figure 4. The mountain bluebird is a frequent victim to asphyxiation due to perching at
the top of heater-treater stacks that don't have prevention cones installed. The mountain
bluebird (on top of pipe in foreground) is only on a pipe fence post.
Reserve pits retaining liquids for much of a year s;hould have flagged or light-reflective wires
spanning them as is the practice of Barrett Corporation. This will reduce the chance of
waterfowl rnistaking the pits for a desirable pond.

Raptor electrocutions on power poles and resultant power outages can be avoided by using raptor
protection guidelines produced by the Avian Pow'er Line Interaction Committee (1996).
Iffences are to be erected (perhaps to keep livestock out ofa reserve pit), in order to prevent
entanglement they should be designed to also exclude deer or to provide the wire spacing
recommended.
Tall towers also can constitute wildlife hazards. trf or when, a tower over 200 feet high or any
other potentialhazard becomes a feature of the project, it should be designed with standard
wildlife safe elements, following consultation with specialists such as those at WWE.
Some species of wildlife adapt to human presence and edifices well enough to become
nuisances. If this occurs, it is usually best to contact CDOW for advice before taking on the task
of removing the nuisance.
Table 2 summarizes the mitigating measures discussed in this report which can help to reduce
the impact of the Rodreick Well Pad on wildlife. Brornley (1985) and Ingelfinger (2001) offer
additional insight to the study of petroleum industry effects on wildlife.

Bill Barrett Corporation Roderick Water Gathering Site
Trip Generation Letter and Project Access Letter, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Richardson:
Per Garfield County requirements, this letter presents the results of a trip generation
assessment for the proposed Bill Barrett Roderick Water Gathenng Site. This letter
also includes a discussion of how vehicles will access the proposed site. The Bill
Barrett Rodenck Water Gathering Site exists today as a well pad site and is
anticipated to be converted into a water gathering site. The site is located east of
Divide Creek Road (Cor:nty Road 3 1 1) and north of Chipperfield Lane (County Road
32Q approximately 4.5 miles south ofthe Town of Silt in Garfield County, Colorado'
Access to the proposed water gathering site will be from the existing access along
Divide Creek Road (CR 31 I ). The attached figure illustrates the site location and the
existing access in relation to the Town of Silt.
Site-generated haffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip
generation. For this study, Kimley-Hom used information provided by the cliant to
determine the number of vehicles anticipated to access the site per day, as well as the
number of vehicles anticipated to enter and exit the site during the AM and PMpeak
hours. These trip generation estimates include the number and types of vehicles that
are anticipated to access the site.
During normal operations for the Bill Barrett Roderick Water Gathering Site it is
anticipated that the total number of vehicles that will access the facility during a
typical day would be approximately fifteen (i 5) vehicles. A vehicle entering the site
and exiting the site counts as two tnps; therefore, a total of 30 vehicle tips in and out
of the site are anticipated per day during typical operations of the water gathering
site. These vehicles would include mostly 80 barrel tanker trucks and occasionally
130 banel tanker tmcks.
To provide a conservative assessment clfproject genaated traffic, it was assumed that
during a typical weekday, approximately l0 percent of daily traffic, would be

identifies the anticipated trip generation for the project.
Access to the Roderick Water Gathering Site is currently provided along Divrde
Creek Road (CR 31 1). This access location is illustrated on the attached figure. The
Bill Barrett Corporation production area is located along the south side of Airport
Road (CR 346), south of the Town of Silt, between Mamm Creek Road (CR 3 l5)
and Divide Creek Road (CR 311). It is anticipated that project traffic will be
accessing the project site to and from the Bill Barrett Corporation production area via
Divide Creek Road (CR 3 I 1) and Airport Road (CR 346). Approximately 20 percent
of project traffic is expected to access Interstate 70 by means of the Mamm Creek
Road (CR 315) interchange and the Silt 96 Street interchange.
If you have any questions relating to this analysis, please call me at (303) 228-2300.

BILL BARRETT CORPORATION
GGU RODREICK 218 SWD WATER GATHERING SITE
SOUND STUDY
A sound and noise level monitoring test was conducted by Wagon Wheel Consulting,
Inc. on November 9,2007 to demonstrate the sound and noise levels that are associated
with the operations of Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC) at their GGU Rodreick 218 SWD
Water Gathering Site. The sound Study was conducted to verify compliance with the
Colorado State Noise Statute (CRS $ 25-12-101 et. seq.)
APPLICABLE NOISE REGULATIONS
The use of the property for noise and sound generated at the site are governed by the
Colorado State Noise Abatement Code (Title 25, Article 12). The allowable sound level
limits for uses regulated by the State Statute are listed below in Table 1. The use of the
property would fall under the sound levels set for "Residential Zoning." The maximum
permissible noise levels for this type of use is set at 55dBA day time hours (7:00 a.m. -
7:00 p.m. Monday - Friday) with allowable increases up to 65dBA for 15 minutes in any
one (1) hour period.

(l) During the daytime, the noise level can be increased by 10 dBA for 1.5 minutes in any
one-hour period.
(2) Noise level limit decreased by 5 dBA for impulsive type sounds.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The GGU Rodreick SWD Water Gathering site is located on a parcel of land owned by
Dan Rodrieck. It is located directly adjacent to County Road 311 (Divide Creek Road).
The general topography of the land surrounding the site is gently sloping with sage brush
flats with larger sloping hills to the south and east sides of the facility. Adjacent lands
consist of open farming and ranching ground. Current use of the land and adjacent lands
consist of operations pertaining to the development of natural resources primarily natural
gas, ranching operations, and farming operations.
SOUND STUDY RESULTS
Sound and noise levels were recorded in one area located approximately 50 ft. off the
north side of the location. Sound measurements were taken at this location at the
property lines due to the distance between the site and property lines. The location
represented the most feasible location to gather and demonstrate noise levels from the
facility. The readings taken between November 9 and November 10, 2007 show
comparison to the maximum permissible levels defined for residential land uses set by
the Colorado State Noise Statute (CRS 5 25-12-101 et. seq.).
During the duration of the study BBC was operating the facility at their normal operation
rates. Operations consisted of running a small transfer pump to pump water from the
pond to tanks fro skimming and polishing to remove additional hydrocarbons entrained in
the water. Operations also consisted of truck traffic to and from the location to deliver
and load water from the facility. The listecl operations were in direct relations to the
proposed operations of the existing facility.
Additional noise levels were collected and recorded during the duration of the test that
where not associated with the facility. Additional operations consisted of truck and small
pickup traffic to and from adjacent natural gas well pads, along with drilling activities
and well completion activities on these pads. Additional sounds also included livestock,
ranching operations, and overhead aircraft, traffic along County Road 31 1.
The recorded noise levels recorded at the site were primarily below the Colorado State
Noise Statute of 55dBA, with a few instances of levels showing to peek out above 60 to
65dBA for a short period. The noise levels recorded during the test which was ran for
twenty-four Ql hours demonstrates compliance with the state statute. The graph in
Table 2 shows an accurate read out of the sound levels taken at the site.

RE: Rodreick/Barrett Corporation Centralized E & P Waste Management Facility
(Water Gathering and Processing) Special Use Permit Review
Dear David:
At the request of Garfield County, Resource Engineering, lnc. (RESOURCE) has
reviewed the Special Use Permit Application from Perry Dan Rodreick for a proposed
Centralized E & P Waste Management Facility (water gathering and processing) located
on County Road 311 approximately 5 miles southeast of the Town of Silt. The facility
will be operated by Bill Barrett Corporation (Barrett). The submittal included a three ring
binder prepared by Wagon Wheel Consulting.
SUMMARY
The proposed Special Use Permit Application appears to meet the technical criteria for
the Special Use requirements in Section 5.03, the specific requirements in Section
5.03.07, and the standards in Section 5.030.08 of the Garfield County Zoning
Regulations. The requirements of each Section are more specifically discussed below.
SPECIAL USE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The general requirements for any Special Use include providing adequate water and
wastewater service and adequate road improvements and/or access for the proposed
use. The proposed Special Use does not require potable drinking water or wastewater
services. Portable restrooms will be provided for employee convenience.
The facility would be accessed from County Road 311 using an existing access road for
Barrett's existing GGU Rodreick 21B site and from private lease roads. The application
indicates that the characteristics of the traffic in the area will remain the same as current
conditions. Transport of produced water from the various well pads and facility sites is
required regardless of whether the subject facility is approved. Such traffic will be
periodic and is estimated at 30 vehicle trips per day in the traffic study. The facility will
create the demand for operations and testing personnel traffic. Although no estimate is
listed in the application, it can be conservatively estimated at 4 vehicle trips per day.
Barrett has installed water pipelines to the site and proposes additional pipelines to
eliminate the need for trucking from some of the areas within the Barrett lease
operations. GARCO Road and Bridge should be contacted regarding any specific
issues related to county road impacts.
INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS
Section 5.03.07 of the County Zoning Regulations outlines additional specific criteria for
industrial operations. These criteria require that the applicant prepare and submit an

impact statement of the proposed use. The Applicant's impact statement affirmatively
addresses the items outlined in Section 5,03.07. These issues include stormwater
management, spill prevention control, water supply, dust, smoke, Vapor, noise, glare,
vibration, wildlife and traffic.
Section 5.03.08 of the County Zoning Regulations describes required industrial
performance standards for the project. The application outlines compliance with these
standards.
ANALYSIS
The proposed activity includes site grading, construction of two settling ponds, and a
containment ditch. The storage ponds are existing structures at the site. The facility will
be surrounded by a2foot containment berm. The facility will collect, treat, store and
distribute for reuse produced water from Barrett's operations in the area. Appropriate
technical measures to mitigate impacts are included in the submittal.
Please call if you have any questions or need additional information.
