Attached please find a completed Special Use Application and supporting documentation. The proposed compressor will be used to supply natural gas to Public Service of Colorado and will be needed for the winter heating season. The compressor will be installed at Questar Pipeline's Rifle yard; on property owned in Fee by Questar Pipeline. The pipeline to PSC's facilities will installed on a Right of Way to be acquired from W. F. Clough. Please review this application and advise me if any more information is needed. Your prompt attention to this matter would be appreciated and ensure the delivery of natural gas to PSC for this winter heating season. If I may be of assistance please contact me at (801) 530-2577. Enclosures Sincerely, laS David A. Ingle Property Agent • • Questar 11/20/95 The property to be used for this proposal is a 9.64 acre tract located north of CR 264, approximately 2 miles west of Rifle. The site slopes very gently from north to south and an existing field office is located roughly 200 feet south of the site to be used for the compressor. Adjacent land uses are primarily industrial. Snyder Oil, Public Service, Northwest Pipeline and others conduct similar operations in the immediate vicinity. The project proposes the construction of a natural gas compressor facility and an associated pipeline that would distribute natural gas from the applicants transmission line to the Rocky Mountain Natural Gas facility located approx. 2000 feet to the west. The natural gas fired compressor would boost pressure from 550 psig to 850 psig at a maximum 400 RPM. Compressed gas volumes would range from 5 MMSCFD to 18 MMSCFD. The unit is planned to be set on a prepared pad using portable surface mounts and a pre -fabricated metal building to house the compressor would be constructed at a later time. Except for periodic maintenance, it is assumed the facility would operate 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Major issues and concerns - Easements - The property to be used is owned by the applicant; however, the distribution line will cross property owned by another entity. An easement across this property has been granted to the applicant for the proposed pipeline. The property exists in the R/L zone district which does support this type of land use upon issuance of a Special Use Permit. Direct access to the facility exists from CR 264. An air pollution permit from the State has been applied for, assuming the listed amounts of emissions. Revised emissions estimates have been submitted which do not agree with the earlier amounts. It is not known if the pollution permit application has been amended accordingly; however, it will be necessary to receive a permit for the amended emissions levels. Noise has been calculated for this facility and found to be approx 108 dB at the source. 200 feet away, at the property line, noise is estimated to be 61 dB. It is assumed the unit will create some type of vibration on or away from the site; therefore, it may be necessary to construct a pad that will damp the vibration and cause it to be imperceptible, except by instruments at the property boundary. The Soil Conservation Service identifies the soils on site as being in the Arvada loam classification, having a severe shrink -swell rating. Conversations with the applicant's engineer indicates that the pad proposed for this unit will be set in a way to mitigate any problems associated with the shrink -swell potential. Impacts to wildlife are thought to be minimal as this facility will be located in an industrial area which is probably not a part of habitat or migration routes. The applicant has submitted a list of fire control measures which appear to be adequate. Additionally, the applicant will be required to adhere to the provisions of the National Fire Code as it applies to this type of facility. Staff recommends the applicant file an emergency plan with the Rifle Fire Department. Traffic in the immediate area is expected to increase for the duration of the construction of the facility, expected to last between 2 and 4 weeks. It is assumed traffic will return to pre -construction levels upon completion. The applicant has submitted a revegetation plan concerning the pipeline portion of this project. It appears the plan is adequate to reclaim and revegetate the disturbed lands. Based on these findings, staff recommends APPROVAL of the application, subject to the listed conditions. • • MAPS bcc: • • File(H:1...\PERMIT96\RIFLE\RIFLELTR. w/o attachments D. A. Lebar A. J.

Date: September 29, 1995 DEF: 95-545 General Project Statement An agreement is being finalized for QPC to provide an interconnecting pipeline and compression services to boost gas from QPC's gas pipeline system west of Rifle Colorado for delivery to the Public Service Company of Colorado(PSC) and KN Energy (KNE) dew point liquids plant.. Location: Section 18, Township - 6 South Range - 93 West Garfield County Colorado, approximately 2 miles west of Rifle, Colorado within the existing site presently owned by QPC. Scope, design and operation of project: The delivery points from each of the suppliers are presently manifolded, after supplier measurement, into a common header. An existing 4" valve off the end of the 8" header is to be replaced with an 8" valve and a suction line installed between it and a new compressor. The compressor is to be driven with a lean burn engine that develops required horsepower at 1000 to 1080 RPM for high speed machines quoted or at 400 RPM for the low speed machines quoted. The compressor is to compress .63 gravity gas @ 70oF from 550 psig to 850 psig and handle volumes ranging from 5 MMSCFD to 20 MMSCFD The compressor design specifications ask for an emissions guarantee over the entire load range. A compact skid mounted enclosure is to be erected over the unit with maintenance access doors strategically located, for noise and weather protection. Pulsation control equipment is to be installed to reduce the effects of vibration and improve orifice measurement. An 8" pipeline interconnect, built to D.O.T. Part 192 guidelines will be installed from the Rifle yard header installation to the compressor suction and from the compressor discharge a distance of approximately 2,000', outside the boundary of QPC's Rifle facility, to the inlet of the PSC/KNE dew point plant. The following volume control options are being considered: 1) Arrange for remote speed control and manual, or possibly automated, deactivators for volume control to match end users varying demand. 2) Split the compressor discharge into two streams with one feeding the dew point plant and the other spilled back, through a control valve and check valve back into ML -68. A 300 barrel tank will be set to receive scrubber liquids and these will ocassionally be trucked for sale. There will not be a need for gas dehydration since the source gas is already dehydrated. Final custody transfer measurement and/or compressor control measurement is needed. Two options are being considered: • • 1) Coordinate with KNE on use of their custody transfer measurement equipment and witness meter provings for acceptance of the measurement volumes. In this case a meter run would also be installed by QPC to allow Gas Control a means of dialing in volume control from a remote control point. 2) QPC would install a complete EMF system with online chromatograph and Telecommunications System.

Operational and Construction Impacts: There is no vapor, dust or smoke associated with this operation. The compressor and engine noise is to be reduced by enclosing them in a building and providing a residential grade muffler on the exhaust. Engine emissions will be reduced through the use of either lean burn technology or the use of a catalytic convertor with air/fuel ratio control. Dust on construction access routes and sites will be controlled by frequent water dampening during construction. Site traffic will be limited to equipment delivery transporters, ditching and construction equipment during the construction phase. Daily operating traffic will be minimal and will be generally due to company operating personnel on routine rounds and maintenance. The area is a previously industrialized area and there will not be additional impact on wildlife, domestic animals, vegetation, migration patterns or any other disruptions.

Dear Mr. Myers: Questar Pipeline Company (Questar Pipeline) is planning on installing a natural gas fired, internal combustion engine driven compressor at the Rifle Yard located in Garfield County, Colorado (refer to attached drawing M-14551). Questar Pipeline based the emission rates listed below on the potential to emit for the proposed unit. The potential to emit is based on yearly operating hours (8760) multiplied by the maximum emission rate in pounds/hour. The actual make of the engine has yet to be finalized; therefore, the emissions reflected in this Application are intended as a not to exceed number. The actualremissions for the unit will be determined and reported to the APCD prior to final approval of the permit. The proposed engine will account for the following emissions in tons/year: Proposed Source Potential to Emit TABLE 1 Make/Model EMISSIONS TPY BASED ON 8760 HOURS/YEAR NOx CO NMHC VOC1 TOTAL 10.43 11.73 7.5 4.17 VOC refers to non -methane & non -ethane hydrocarbons. • 1 The listed emissions in tpy are based on the maximum emission rates in Lb/hr. for this engine operating at nominal conditions; NOx = 2.38 Ib/hr., CO = 2.68 Ib/hr., NMHC = 1 .71 Ib/hr, and VOC = 0.952 lb/hr The new engine driven compressor will be installed in Questar's existing Rifle yard. The unit will compress gas from Questar's facilities into the Rifle Dew Point Plant owned and operated by others. This gas will then be discharged into the Avon Pipeline for delivery to residential customers. Questar has no other reportable emission sources located at this site. Schedule Questar must commence with the installation of this unit beginning on November 1, 1995. It is estimated that construction will be completed and start-up will commence on or around December 16, 1995. Questar requests that this project receive expedited review and approval. The gas being supplied from Questar's proposed compressor will be delivered to the Rifle Dew Point Plant to be processed and used for the residential customers located along the Avon Pipeline to provide heat for the coming winter months. A partial list of the communities that will be served are Rifle, Glenwood Springs, Snowmass, Aspen and the Vail Valley. Questar requests that the Division exempt the installation of this compressor unit from the 30 day comment period. In accordance with Regulation No.3, Part B, IV.C.1 .a., the new installation will not have emissions greater than fifty (50) tons/year and is located in an attainment area which is rural in nature. Questar would appreciate the opportunity to meet with the APCD to discuss ways to expedite the approval of this project. Questar will plan on contacting the APCD within the next 15 days to arrange a convenient time to meet and discuss this project. An APEN has been included in accordance with Regulation No. 3, Part A.II. for the proposed source, plus $100 in APEN filing fees.

Ajax began production in 1877, building steam drilling engines to be used in the oil fields near Corry, Pennsylvania. We're one of the oldest con- tinuous manufacturers of engines in America, and one of the most progressive. We introduced the Ajax integral gas engine -compressor to the compressor market in 1958. It's regarded in North America as the number one small compressor for gas production. Today, as part of the Energy Services Group of Cooper Industries, Ajax is recognized throughout the oil and gas industry as a leader in the design and manufacture of reciprocating engines and compressors. Ajax engines range from 22 to 165 bhp (16 to 123 kW) and integral engine -com- pressors from 30 to 800 bhp (22 to 600 kW'. Ajax engines and integral engine -compressors are ideally suited for dependable, continuous duty in remote locations and harsh environments. A reputation for reliability. Ajax product quality is best demonstrated by the high number of repeat orders we receive from producers. Once they use Ajax equipment, they become accustomed to a standard of efficiency, Cover photograph shows Ajax equipment owned by Guerra Engineering, Inc. of Houston, Texas, in operation at Cordele, Texas. • • • • khe best return on your investment. reliability and service life unmatched in the in- dustry. In the production field, economical should never mean cheap. Few operations can afford "throwaway" equipment. That's why Ajax equipment is built to run for years as efficiently as it did when first installed. The simplified design, slow operating speeds and few moving parts mean less wear and a minimum of maintenance. Many Ajax units have been on- line for 50 years or more. When you buy Ajax equipment, you're making an investment that will keep your operating costs to an absolute mini- mum—for decades. A modern manufacturing facility. Ajax has consolidated its operations with the Superior Division of the Energy Services Group of Cooper Industries to create a new division: Ajax - Superior. The Ajax -Superior plant in Springfield, Ohio, is one of the largest facilities in the world devoted exclusively to the production of reciprocating en- gines and compressors for the oil and gas indus- tries. This plant occupies over 54,000 sq. ft. and includes state-of-the-art manufacturing and mate- rials handling equipment, including a variety of CNC machine tools and a computerized inventory handling system. • 3 • Integral Engine -Compressors • Behind every Ajax integral en- gine -compressor is an engineering concept that is simplicity itself. It's why Ajax integrals run so well—and so long. Fewer parts, Tess maintenance. We designed simplicity into the Ajax integral for maximum dura- bility and performance. The engine and compressor share a common crankshaft, resulting not only in fewer parts and less maintenance, but in greater operating efficiency. A cascade splash lubrication system elimi- nates the need for an oil pump, filter or cooler. And the two-cycle, port -scavenged power cylinders require neither inlet nor exhaust valves. The result? A unit that delivers 98% -plus availability with little or no maintenance. Designed for efficiency, durability and flexibility. The simplicity inherent in an Ajax integral is responsible for the unit's low maintenance costs. The single crankshaft eliminates loss- es associated with gears, belts or couplings, resulting in higher mechanical efficiency. The two- cycle, low-BMEP cylinders provide for lower maintenance and down- time, and the hydraulic fuel injec- tion system reduces fuel con- sumption. And because of slow operating speeds, together with a Targe valve area and low valve velocities, the Ajax integral can move more gas per compressor horsepower. Ajax integrals keep running at peak efficiency for years. Low fir- ing pressures create less dynamic stress on power cylinders, cross- heads, connecting rods and crank- shaft. The Ajax power crosshead 4 design eliminates side loading on power piston and cylinder, mini- mizing wear and providing long service life for power end compo- nents. The slow operating speeds promote a long service life and smooth operation. The rod load capability and cylinder working pressures of Ajax integrals are higher than required for most applications. This flex- ibility allows for operation over a wide range of pressure conditions. In many instances, an Ajax inte- gral is purchased for one job and later moved to other applications without cylinder changes. Self-contained Ajax integrals are easily moved from one site to another. The units are mounted on heavy-duty skids for maximum rigidity, strength and ease of transport. Installation requires only simple hookup of suction, discharge and exhaust lines. Ajax integrals use standard components, allowing inter- changeability of parts throughout the product line and smaller inven- tories for routine maintenance. Separators, extra -large surge bot- tles and gas cooler sections are ASME code -stamped. All piping is designed according to ASME code. • • � They simply run longer, better. Completely packaged. Ajax takes complete unit responsibility for the integral package, including start-up ser- vice and instruction by Ajax field representatives or factory -trained distributors. Packages can be customized to meet the requirements of a particular application. A special package, available for offshore in- stallation, includes anticorrosion coating, overhead unitized cooler, Division I instrumentation, low - fire -hazard ignition, and running gear designed to minimize unbal- anced forces. ® And profitable. An Ajax integral engine - compressor is an investment in long-term reliability and profitable • ' C-30 includes concrete -filled skid production. Its design not only assures maximum onstream effi- ciency, but reduces routine main- tenance cost as much as three- quarters of that normally ex- perienced with lighter duty, higher speed machinery.

Baum Subject: Rifle Compressor Information The compressor installation for Rifle will be an AJAX DPC-360. The unit will boost pressure from 550 psig to 850 psig to supply gas to KN Energys liquids recovery plant. Compressed volumes will range from a minimum of 5 MMSCFD through a maximum of 18 MMSCFD. Plans are to transfer the compressor to this location, along with portable surface mount bases, and set the unit on a prepared pad adjacent to an already existiing foundation. The compressor will be housed in a pre-engineered non-flammable industrial style metal building designed for local snow and wind loads and Jive loads due to hoisting equipment. Ancilliary on site equipment will include a stock tank for accumulation of dumped scrubber liquids, tank for lubrication oil, and spare parts stroage. Noise estimates are derived from A -weighted Sound Pressure Levels measured at 200 feet with the engine running at its maximum 400 RPM from vendor supplied infromation for the AJAX DPC-360. Using the supplied A -weighted dB's; the source power level was calculated and then projected out at 20' intervals as follows: Sound Pressure Levels (dB's) Source 20' 40' 60' 80' 100' 120' 140' 160' ]80' 200' 107.87 81.35 75.33 71.81 69.31 67.37 65.79 64.45 63,29 62.27 61.35 Attached are copies of vendor data for the AJAX DISC -360 and information about the physical equipment on this unit.

NOTE: Spoolfinations gluon In this hrochorn pre aubfabl to Change without notice. or more than a century, the name Ajax® has been associated with dur- able, hardworking oilfield equipment designed to keep production on-line and profitable. Ajax began production in 1877, building steam drilling engines to be used in the oil fields near Corry, Pennsylvania. We're one of the oldest con- tinuous manufacturers of engines In America, and one of the most progressive. We introduced the Ajax integral gas engine -compressor to the compressor market in 1958. It's regarded in North America as the number one small compressor for gas production. Today, as part of the Energy Services Group of Cooper Industries, Ajax is recognized throughout the oil and gas industry as a leader in the design and manufacture of reciprocating engines and compressors. Ajax engines range from 22 to 165 bhp (16 to 123 kW) and integral engine -com- pressors from 30 to 800 bhp (22 to 600 kW). Ajax engines and integral engine -compressors are ideally suited for dependable, continuous duty in remote locations and harsh environments. A reputation for reliability. Ajax product quality is best demonstrated by the high number of repeat orders we receive from producers.

In the production field, economical should never mean cheap. Few operations can afford "throwaway" equipment. That's why Ajax equipment is built to run for years as efficiently as it did when first installed. The simplified design, slow operating speeds and few moving parts mean Toss wear and a minimum of maintenance. Many Ajax units have been on- line for 50 years or more. When you buy Ajax equipment, you're making an investment that will keep your operating costs to an absolute mini- mum --for decades. 411/ A modern manufacturing facility. Ajax has consolidated its operations with the Superior Division of the Energy Services Group of Cooper Industries to create a new division: Ajax - Superior. The Ajax -Superior plant in Springfield, Ohio, is one of the largest facilities in the world devoted exclusively to the production of reciprocating en- gines and corepressors for the oil and gas indus- tries- This plant occupies over 54,000 sq. ft. and includes state-of-the-art manufacturing and mate- rials handling equipment, including a variety of CNC machine tools and a computerized inventory handling system. or 3 PROPERTY e ROM Ili :801-530-28x,0 • Integral Engine -Compressors NOIR 03'95 • 11 12 No .005 P . 11 • ry... v�;p�• r we ; � . � b=^- a 'r+r 4 *T. 11 yc ^}'s ,,�/{�.rT ryyy[•�r :� ..,..- �. i:.�u�%� 2„ ��.�.:d ..i. �.�:�vl.YF�duTw+•,���.5.,_,'ik��51'L94i�i44�r�, ���+u+: ilX�.J.�1,�1h�..:.1'�-.i.. �f1.F, c.� �:. Y;b1n'l'S4.R�i�. .ti.1�S':AS.LLi Behind every Ajax integral en- gine -compressor is an engineering concept that is simplicity itself. It's why Ajax integrals run so well—and so long. Fewer parts, less maintenance. We designed simplicity into the Ajax integral for maximum dura- bility and performance. The engine and compressor share a common crankshaft, resulting not only in fewer parts and less maintenance, but in greater operating efficiency. A cascade splash lubrication system elimi- nates the need for an oil pump, filter or cooler. And the two-cycle, port -scavenged power cylinders require neither Inlet nor exhaust valves. The result? A unit that delivers 98% -plus availability with little or no maintenance. Designed for efficiency, durability and flexibility. The simplicity Inherent in an Ajax integral is responsible for the unit's low maintenance costs. The single crankshaft eliminates loss- es associated with gears, belts or couplings, resulting in higher mechanical efficiency. The two- cycle, low-BMEP cylinders provide for lower maintenance and down- time, and the hydraulic fuel Injec- tion system reduces fuel con- sumption, And because of slow operating speeds, together with a large valve area and low valve velocities, the Ajax integral can move more gas per compressor horsepower. AJax integrals keep running at peak efficiency for years. Low fir- ing pressures create less dynamic stress on power cylinders, cross- heads, connecting rods and crank- shaft. The Ajax power crosshead 4 design eliminates side loading on power piston and cylinder, mini- mizing wear and providing long service life for power end compo- nents. The slow operating speeds promote a long service life and smooth operation. The rod load capability and cylinder working pressures of Ajax integrals are higher than required for most applications. This flex- ibility allows for operation over a wide rang© of pressure conditions. In many instances, an Ajax inte- gral is purchased for one job and later moved to other applications without cylinder changes. Self-contained AJax integrals are easily moved from one site to manalim another. The units are mounted on heavy-duty skids for maximum rigidity, strength and ease of transport. Installation requires only simple hookup of suction, discharge and exhaust lines. Ajax integrals use standard components, allowing inter- changeability of parts throughout the product line and smaller inven- tories for routine maintenance. Separators, extra -large surge bot- tles and gas cooler sections are ASME code -stamped. All piping Is designed according to ASME code. • 4.1 PROPERTY & ROW ID:801-530-2860 • NOV 03'95 11:12 No.005 P.12 • • They simply run longer, better. Completely packaged. Ajax takes complete unit responsibility for the integral package, including start-up ser- vice and instruction by Ajax field representatives or factory -trained distributors. Packages can be customized to meet the requirements of a particular application. A special package, available for offshore in- stallation, includes anticorrosion coating, overhead unitized cooler, Division I Instrumentation, low - fire -hazard ignition, and running gear designed to minimize unbal- anced forces. And profitable. An Ajax Integral engine - compressor is an Investment in long-term reliability and profitable production.

The unit will boost pressure from 550 psig to 850 psig to supply gas to KN Energys liquids recovery plant. Compressed volumes will range from a minimum of 5 MMSCFD through a maximum of 18 MMSCFD. Plans are to transfer the compressor to this location, along with portable surface mount bases, and set the unit on a prepared pad adjacent to an already existiing foundation. The compressor will be housed in a pre-engineered non-flammable industrial style metal building designed for local snow and wind loads and live loads due to hoisting equipment. Ancilliary on site equipment will include a stock tank for accumulation of dumped scrubber liquids, tank for lubrication oil, and spare parts stroage. Noise estimates are derived from A -weighted Sound Pressure Levels measured at 200 feet with the engine running at its maximum 400 RPM from vendor supplied infromation for the AJAX DPC-360. Using the supplied A -weighted dB's; the source power level was calculated and then projected out at 20' intervals as follows: Sound Pressure Levels (dB's) Source 20' 40' 60' 80' 100' 120' 140' 160' 180' 200' 107.87 81.35 75.33 71.81 69.31 67.37 65.79 64.45 63.29 62.27 61.35 Attached are copies of vendor data for the AJAX DPC-360 and information about the physical equipment on this unit. • • RECLAMATION PLAN FOR THE KN ENERGY INTERCONNECT 1.0 INTRODUCTION The following KN Energy Interconnect Reclamation Plan provides for reclamation and revegetation of areas disturbed by construction of the interconnecting pipeline. This plan consists of procedures that are expected to optimize reclamation and revegetation success. The procedures described in this plan are intended to accomplish the following objectives: • Provide effective erosion control through physical reclamation means such as salvaging and protecting topsoil; and • Reestablish, in a timely manner, indigenous or other suitable vegetation. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of approximately 1.50( linear feet of 10 3/4 -inch diameter pipe interconnecting Questar's transmission pipeline system with KN Energy's facilities. The interconnect is Located on private lands previously disturbed by natural gas transmission facilities. Appurtenant facilities associated with the interconnect consists of compression and a 10 -inch tap and valves which will he installed at Questar's Rifle facility located in Section 13, Township 6 South, Range 94 West, Garfield County, Colorado. 3.0 RECLAMATION Reclamation activities will he initiated after the completion of construction. Reclamation consists of both physical methods and revegetation methods. Construction, backfilling and grading activities commonly cause compaction and alter soil conditions that affect soil productivity and/or seeding success. The following practices and techniques will he used to improve these soil conditions, protect soil from erosion and provide a favorable seedbed: • Disturbed areas will be scarified to ensure that soil compaction is reduced and preconstruction soil permeability is restored. • Seedbed preparation will he conducted to a depth of 3 to 4 inches to provide a firm seedbed to enhance revegetation. • Topsoil replacement will he performed over the disturbed area. • Topsoil will not he redistributed if the ground or topsoil is frozen. • Seed will he planted by drilling or broadcasting. Drill seeding with a drill equipped with a depth regulator will he used where soil conditions allow operation of equipment. In areas not suitable for drilling, the seed will he broadcast and covered by raking or chaining. If broadcasting methods are used, seeding rates will he doubled. • The following seed mixture is proposed: Seed mixture Drilled Western wheatgrass 3 lbs/acre Thickspike wheatgrass 3 lbs/acre Indian Ricegrass 3 lbs/acre Salt Sage 3 Ihs/acre Fourwing Salthush 3 Ihs/acre • Ninety percent pure live seed will he used. • Noxious weed control measures will he implemented for at least five years after construction. • Fertilizers will he used if requested by the landowner. • Any brush removed during construction will be spread along the right-of-way to control erosion. • Stormwater discharges and spring runoff will be diverted by waterbars to a stabilized outlet. Waterhars will he installed according to the following table: Grade c Spacing (feet) 5% 01- less None 5% - 15% 300 15% - 30% 200 >30 100 • Disturbed areas with rock fragments, such as very coarse gravel, cobble, or stone scattered on the surface. will he restored to the original preconstruction surface condition to blend with the adjoining area. • • 4.0 MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING An inspection of the right-of-way will be conducted by Questar for two growing seasons after construction. Monitoring will determine if revegetation efforts were successful. Problem areas will be identified and reseeded. Revegetation efforts will be continued until vegetation is established. Erosion control structures will also he inspected and repaired if necessary. • • FIRE CONTROL MEASURES QUESTAR PIPELINE COMPANY'S RIFLE YARD COMPRESSOR & INTERCONNECT PIPELINE GENERAL All project personnel are instructed as to: 1. Location of fire control equipment 2. Operation and use of fire control equipment 3. Emergency procedures and how to call for additional help WELDING At least one person is dedicated to act as a fire watch during welding operations with a fire extinguisher at hand. Welding shields are used during grinding operations to prevent sparks from leaving the work areas and igniting vegetation, as conditions dictate. Water trucks are used to wet down ground and nearby vegetation, as conditions dictate. At the close of each day, welding personnel inspect the area of welding activities for any smoldering debris and any conditions conductive to fires. COMMUNICATIONS All Questar Pipeline vehicles are equipped with radio communications to a central dispatch which can relay any problems to the proper authorities. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE In the event of a fire, all personnel and appropriate equipment on site will be committed to its containment and control. The BLM and appropriate fire authorities will he notified immediately. Direction of the fire control efforts will be transferred to appropriate fire fighting agency personnel upon their arrival on site.
