Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 112
Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan
Part 112.1 General Applicability & Introduction
The Valley Business Unit of Williams Production RMT Company develops, operates and
manages a number of oil and produced water storage sites associated with natural gas and
oil resources activities in Garfield County of western Colorado. As part of the natural gas
extraction process, oil and produced water are separated from the gas and stored
aboveground at individual well pad sites in aggregate quantities greater than 1,320 gallons
(excluding containers of less than 55 -gallons). These storage sites are considered non -
transportation related onshore oil production facilities. Consequently, Williams Production
RMT is required to develop, implement and maintain a Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) under Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40
CFR Part 112) administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
These oil storage sites are generally located on well pads and although geographically
separated, have common development and operational configurations; and similar
equipment including, but not limited to; temporary drill rigs with completions and support
operations; oil/water separators, oil and/or produced water storage tanks and pits, and
transfer flowlines. For the purposes of this SPCC plan, an oil storage site at an individual
well pad, as described above, is defined as a "facility", pursuant to 40 CFR Part 112.2 —
Definitions. Numerous facilities are included as part of, and under the Parachute Integrated
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan. Individual facilities are defined and
included in this Plan along with their locations, site diagrams, equipment and tanks,
Substantial Harm Determinations, and speck information in Appendix E. Additional
facilities will be added to this Plan as deemed applicable and as they become operational
subject to certification by a professional engineer.
The Valley Business Unit of Williams Production RMT Company also operations several
compressor stations, gas processing plants and water management facilities. These
facilities have implemented SPCC plans independent of the Parachute Integrated SPCC
Plan and are not included in the integrated SPCC Plan. In addition, independent drilling,
completion and workover contractors are required by Williams to implement SPCC plans, if
applicable, specific to their contractor operations.
The purpose of this integrated SPCC Plan is to describe measures implemented by Williams
Production RMT Company to prevent oil discharges from occurring and to prepare Williams
to respond in a safe, effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a potential
discharge. This Plan addresses relevant spill prevention, control, and countermeasures
necessary and common to each facility.
This Plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 112, and including
amendments to the regulations published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2002, and
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 6
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
December 26, 2006. Paragraph citations referenced in the plan refer to Title 40 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 112.
In addition to fulfilling requirements of 40 CFR Part 112, this SPCC Plan is used as a
reference for oil storage information and inspection records, as a tool to communicate
practices on preventing and responding to discharges with employees as a guide to facility
inspections, and as a resource during emergency response.
Williams Production RMT Company management has determined that each facility, under
the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan, does not meet the substantial harm criteria specified
in 40 CFR Part 112.20. Completed "Substantial Harm Determination" forms are included for
each facility in Appendix E of this Pian.
This Plan provides guidance on key actions Williams must perform to comply with the SPCC
rule:
D Complete annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection Records and Procedure
section of this Plan using the inspection checklists included in Appendix C.
D Perform preventive maintenance of equipment, secondary containment systems, and
discharge prevention systems described in this Plan as needed to keep them in proper
operating conditions.
D Conduct annual employee training as outlined in the Records of Annual Discharge
Prevention Briefings and Training of this Plan and documentation included in
Appendix D.
D If either of the following occurs, submit the SPCC Plan to the EPA Region 8 Regional
Administrator (RA) along with other information as detailed in the Oil Spill Response
Procedure of Appendix C of this Plan:
• The individual facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the
navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event; or
• The individual facility discharges oil in quantity greater than 42 gallons in each of two
spill events within any 12 -month period.
D Review the SPCC Plan at least once every five (5) years and amend it to include more
effective prevention and control technology, if such technology will significantly reduce
the likelihood of a spill event and has been proven effective in the field at the time of the
review. Five-year reviews will be documented Five -Year Review Documentation form in
Appendix A.
D Amend the SPCC Plan within six (6) months whenever where is a change in an
individual facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects
the facility's spill potential. Technical changes will be documented in the Plan Review

Professional Engineer (PE) and the certification inserted into the Plan.
D Review the Plan on an annual basis. Update the Plan to reflect any "administrative
changes" that are applicable, such as personnel changes or revisions to contact
information, such as phone numbers. Administrative changes will be documented in the
Plan review log of Section of this Plan, but do not have to be certified by a PE.
Part 112.3 Requirement to Prepare and Implement a SPCC Plan
The Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan has been prepared in accordance with the provisions
of 40 CFR Part 112 as amended in the Federal Register on July 17, 2002 and December
26, 2006. The plan has been reviewed and certified by a registered professional engineer
per the provisions of Part 112.3(d). This certification in no way relieves the owner or
operator of the facility of his/her duty to prepare and fully implement this SPCC Plan in
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 112. This Plan is valid only to the extent
that the facility owner or operator maintains, tests, and inspects equipment, containment,
and other devices as prescribed in this Plan.
The facilities included in this integrated plan are not normally attended, except during drilling
activities, for more than four hours per day, therefore complete copies of this plan are
maintained at the Williams Production RMT Company field offices located in Parachute,
Colorado. During drilling activities, copies of the SPCC Plan will be located at the facility.
Drilling, completion and workover services are provided to Williams through independent
contractors. As part of their master services agreements with Williams, independent
contractors are required to comply with local, state and federal regulations. This includes
preparation of SPCC plans and spill response training, as applicable, specific to contractor
operations at each facility.
The plan is available to the EPA Regional Administrator and others during regular business
hours.
The individual facilities included in the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan do not meet the
criteria of a "Qualified Facility" as defined in Part 112.3(g) and will not be self -certified.
Part 112.4 Amendment of SPCC Plan by the Regional Administrator
Pursuant to Part 112.4(a), Williams shall notify the Regional Administrator of individual

Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
This section of the Plan complies with and follows the sequence of Part 112.7 and does not
deviate from those requirements. No supplemental cross-references are necessary.
The individual facilities included in this Plan are situated in Garfield County of Colorado.
Individual facilities location maps are attached in Appendix E. Additional facilities will be
added to this Plan as deemed applicable and as they become operational subject to
certification by a professional engineer through the provisions of Part 112.5 - Amendment of
SPCC Plan by the Owner or Operator.
These facilities store natural gas liquids commonly referred to as oil or condensate and
produced water. For the purposes of this Plan only, untreated produced water is considered
an oil because it may contain an oil/produced water mixture. Individual facilities generally
consists of natural gas well heads; flowlines and piping; three-phase separators also
referred to as production units; piping systems; dehydrators; American Petroleum Institute
(API) shop -fabricated steel above ground tanks, meters and cathodic protection equipment.
In some cases, individual facilities may also store produced water in pits, lined with
impervious synthetic materials, compatible with produced water and suitable for site climatic
factors. During the drilling, workover and completion phases of natural gas well
development, temporary oil/water/sand separators, hydraulic fracturing water tanks and bulk
storage containers are placed at the facilities. Individual facilities and their specific
characteristics are indentified in Appendix E.
The individual facilities within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are located in the valley
area of the Colorado River or the adjacent slopes at elevations varying from approximately
5000 ft. to 7000 ft., mean sea level. The Colorado River along with perennial, intermittent
streams and ephemeral drainages predominate the area. Individual facility oil storage tanks
and equipment are typical constructed at level grade with the adjacent terrain varying
considerably.
There are a wide variety of soil types and slopes found in the Parachute field. The Natural
Resources Conservation Service rates erosion potential on a scale of 0.02 (low erodiblity) to
0.69 (extremely erodible). Predominant soil types within the Parachute Field include:
Soil Types Slopes Erosion Potential
Arvada loam 1-20% .37
Bucklon-Inchau loams 25-50% .24
Cochetopa loam 9-50%. .20
Ildefonso stony loam 6-45% .28
Potts-Ildefonso complex 3-45% .28
Potts loam 6-12% .28
Parachute -Rhone loams 5-30% .20
Torriorthents, Camborthids, steep to very steep Null

Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
The Parachute Field includes a variety of vegetative cover types. Prominent vegetation
includes pinyon and juniper woodlands with understory grasses and desert shrub
communities, with minor areas of irrigated agriculture hayfields of alfalfa and smooth brome.
NRCS describes flooding frequency and ponding potential as "none" to 'occasional" for the
area. Annual precipitation averages 17 inches. Floodplains are located within the area of
these facilities.
Part 112.7(a)(1) & (a)(2) SPCC Plan Conformance
This section of the Plan complies with and follows the sequence of Part 112.7 and does not
deviate from those requirements. These facilities are also considered onshore oil production
facilities and meet the requirements of Part 112.9 — SPCC Plan Requirements for Onshore
Oil Production Facilities.
Part 112.7(a)(3) Facility Layout
The individual facilities within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are located in portions of
Garfield County in western Colorado. Facilities are shown on their location maps attached in
Appendix E.
Typically at each facility, underground flowlines convey a 3-phase fluid consisting of natural
gas, oil/condensate and produced water, from the wellheads to three-phase separators.
Condensate and produced water are separated at this point into their individual components
and piped underground to their respective aboveground condensate or produced water
tanks or lined pits. Variations to this typical facility description can occur at each individual
facility. Specific individual facility layouts or schematics and container descriptions within
the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are provided in Appendix E.
During the drilling, workover and completion phases of natural gas well development,
,temporary oil/water/sand separators, hydraulic fracturing water tanks and bulk storage
containers are placed at the facilities. These operations typically take 3 to 12 months.
Layout diagrams will be provided for each facility in Appendix E during active drilling and
completion phases of development along with locations of the secondary containment
berms. Provisions for drilling, workover and completion development are provided in Parts
112.7, 112.9 and 112.10.
Part 112.7(a)(3)(i) Oil Storage Capacity
Detailed descriptions of each individual facility oil storage location are provided, listing the
type of oil present and capacity of each tank, in Appendix E.
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 12
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
Part 112.7(a)(3)(ii) Discharge Prevention Measures
Discharge prevention is provided through a number of methods including training of oil field
personnel, annual inspections, regular maintenance and repair, and observations by oil field
personnel. Facility inspection and maintenance procedures are included in Appendix C.
All storage tanks, piping systems, flow-through vessels, valves and appurtenances have
been designed using best engineering practices to minimize discharge potential. The
exterior of all underground piping is coated with a protective material to reduce corrosion
potential. All oil and produced water storage tanks are steel, shop -built and meet industry
standards such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) tank construction standard.
Piping and container design and their construction are compatible with the oil they contain
and the temperature and pressure conditions of storage. Each storage tank is inspected per
the procedures provided in Appendix C for deterioration and maintenance needs, including
the foundation and support of each storage tank. Storage tanks are provided with secondary
containment and, in selected cases, equipped with high-level alarms that are connected to
an integrated computer telemetry system. Exposed steel tanks, piping, and all associated
components are painted to reduce corrosion. Steel tanks are cathodically protected.
Produced water storage pits are lined with impervious synthetic materials compatible with
produced water and suitable for site climatic factors. Pits are constructed and monitored to
the standards required by the State of Colorado in the 900 Series Rules of the Colorado Oil
and Gas Commission.
Part 112.7(a)(3)(iii) Discharge and Drainage Controls
Primary discharge controls for the individual facilities within this Plan are provided with
secondary containment for condensate and produced water tanks, still -vent tanks whose
capacity is 55 -gallons or greater, and with the use of drip buckets at truck loading/unloading
conveyance hose locations. The secondary containment structures consist of both earthen
berm and synthetically lined walled structures sized to accommodate the largest tank
volume within the containment area and expected precipitation. For the purposes of this
,Plan, precipitation contributions are based upon the 25 -year 24-hour precipitation event as
estimated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Secondary
containment is adequate to protect against the release of oil to waters of the United States
until cleanup can occur. Any deficiencies in required secondary containment will be
corrected prior to the required SPCC implementation date, currently November 10, 2010.
Discharges of precipitation from secondary containment structures are not anticipated in this
Plan. Average net evaporation for this facility location, as estimated from National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data, is approximately 28 inches annually. The
NOAA data also indicates that the 25 -year 24-hour precipitation event is 2.4 inches for the
plan area. Based on these climatic factors, discharge releases from secondary containment
are not expected.
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 13
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
All transfer operation of oil and produced water to tanker trucks are conducted under
continuous manned supervision. Load buckets and drip pans minimize spill potential at each
facility. Shut-off valves are accessible and can be activated in a matter of seconds. Tanker
trucks are equipped with spill kits and shovels to contain spills until clean up can be initiated.
Truck personnel are requested to follow, at a minimum, best management practice
procedures outlined below.
• Before pulling up to tank, turn off all lights, two-way radios, etc.
• Extinguish all smoking materials.
• Pull up to tank slowly, positioning truck correctly for tank loading.
• Shut off motor.
• Place ground -chocks between duels and place ground cable onto unit.
• Place drip pans under all pump hose fittings prior to loading.
• Check that a functioning fire extinguisher is in place.
• Connect hoses and open valves.
• Initiate unloading.
• Observe the tank gauge to confirm its operation during loading.
• Terminate unloading prior to overfilling the tanker.
• Close valves, disconnect and stow hoses.
• Empty the drip -pan's contents into the provided container. Return drip pans.
• Remove and stow ground -chocks and disconnect and stow ground cable.
• Confirm that all hoses and connections are removed and safely stowed.
• Start motor and pull away slowly from the loading area.
Site drainage runoff and runon are controlled with best management practices under a
formalized Storm Water Management Plan permitted by the State of Colorado under Storm
Water Management Plan, general conditions Permit #COR 38,541, issued by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment. These plans employ best management
practices to reduce and eliminate both runoff from the site and runon to the site. Specific
Storm Water Management Plans are referenced in Appendix F and incorporated into this
Plan.
Part 112.7(a)(3)(iv) Countermeasures for Discharge Discovery, Response & Cleanup
Discovery of discharges at the individual facilities is expected through a number of means
including routine site inspections, maintenance and operational activities. In selected cases,
oil tank storage levels are also continuously monitored by remote telemetry at each site.
Sudden drops in tank and produced water pit contents levels are monitored and investigated
immediately.
It is Williams' policy that its employees and contractors are trained in spill prevention and
response plan implementation to avoid and minimize the potential for spills and releases in
the exploration and development of natural gas resources, in accordance with Federal and
state regulations. Williams' response personnel are trained and provided with equipment
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 14
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
and supplies to respond to oil discharges. Appendix B contains oil spill response procedures
incorporated into this Plan.
Williams maintains a Spill Response Station in the Parachute area equipped with materials
such as absorbent pads, booms, plastic sheeting, tyvek overalls, shovels, 55 -gallons drums
and a number of other supplies necessary for cleanup activities. The location and a detailed
list of equipment and supplies maintained at the stations are provided in the Oil Spill
Response and Procedures included in Appendix B.
If additional manpower or equipment is needed for cleanup or mitigation activities, the Oil
Spill Response and Procedures provides a list of contactors on retainer with Williams to
provide service in emergencies. Cleanup activities are to be conducted in accordance with
all state, local and federal requirements. Activities or mitigation involving waters of the
United States, will adhere to the provisions of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Permit
requirements.
All drilling and completion phases are manned and continuously monitored. Spill kits are
maintained onsite during these phases and all spills are cleaned and remediated
immediately. Routine visual examinations are made of the perimeter berm by onsite
personnel. Under the Storm Water Management Plans, formal documented inspections are
conducted by third party compliance contractors every 14 days and after every significant
precipitation event. After construction activities have ceased and interim reclamation
established, Storni Water Management Plan inspections occur every 30 days for the
duration or life with the natural gas wells. Work orders are issued by the storm water
compliance personnel for inspection deficiencies and promptly rectified.
Part 112.7(a)(3)(v) Disposal of Recovered Material
Contaminated materials that are recovered during cleanup efforts will be disposed in
accordance with all applicable regulations including on site remediation as directed by the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and, if on federal properties, the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management. Williams' EH&S department will provide further direction on
specific disposal and treatment options. Recovered oil/condensate and produced water shall
be placed in suitable storage containers, labeled for recycling or disposal in accordance with
applicable regulations. Uncontaminated oil/condensate and produced water may be
returned to the system.

are sufficiently impervious to prevent oil escapement before cleanup occurs. Secondary
containment structures include both earthen berm and lined walled structures. The
secondary containment structures are configured with capacities to contain the largest tank
volume plus at least a 25 -year 24-hour precipitation event. The NOAA data also indicates
that the 25 -year 24-hour precipitation event is 2.4 inches for the Plan area. Soils shall be
sufficiently compacted during construction at each facility to restrict ground seepage of
discharges, until cleanup can occur. Any deficiencies in required secondary containment
will be corrected prior to the required SPCC implementation date, currently November 10,
2010.
Produced water pits are constructed to safely and structurally contain their fluids and
precipitation associated with a 25 -year 24-hour event as estimated above. Containment is
provided by installing competent synthetic liners resistant to chemicals, ultra -violet light and
suitable for harsh environmental and climatic factors. The liners are installed per the
manufacturer's installation and testing requirements. Pits are maintained with a minimum of
two foot of freeboard at all times. Pits are also constructed and monitored to the standards
required by the State of Colorado in the 900 Series Rules of the Colorado Oil and Gas
Commission.

Flowlines at individual facilities within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are protected
from corrosion by pipe coatings and/or pipe wraps. Portions of the flowlines are buried on
the site. After the third year of operations, flowline maintenance includes annual pressure
tests, per industry standards, to insure structural integrity and prevent discharges. Regular
inspections and testing outlined in Appendix C, are designed to prevent discharge
escapement until cleanup can begin.
During the drilling, completion and workover phases of natural gas well development,
temporary oillwater/sand separators, hydraulic fracturing water tanks, bulk fuel containers
and qualified oil -filled operational equipment are placed at the facilities. The largest
container volume during this phase is 21,000 gallons. Secondary containment during these
phases is provided with a well pad perimeter berm as part of a State Of Colorado's required
Storm Water Management Plan. References to the Storm Water Management Plan are
located in Appendix F and incorporated by reference into this Plan. Best management
practices at each facility include a perimeter berm, as described below, to prevent
escapement of all fluids from the facility and diversionary channels to prevent surface flows
from entering the site.
The temporary oil/water/sand separators, hydraulic fracturing water tanks, bulk fuel
containers and qualified oil -filled operational equipment are located within the perimeter
berms. These berms at each individual facility are, at minimum, one foot high and usually
18" to 24" high. Facility pad or operational area size varies, but at a minimum, is at least one
acre in size. Utilizing one acre or 43,560 square feet times one foot of depth, the
containment volume equates to 325,851 gallons. Based on largest separator/tank volume of
21,000 gallons and precipitation volume of 65,166 gallons, secondary containment is
adequate to contain all of the water/oil from the separator/tank including other equipment's
displacement volume and precipitation volume from a 25 -year 24-hour as estimated from
NOAA Atlas 2, until cleanup can occur. Soils are compacted to be sufficiently impervious
during construction at each site to restrict ground seepage of discharges until cleanup can
occur. Perimeter berms are generally, but not in all cases, removed at the cessation of
drilling, workover and completion operations.
Drilling, completion and workover services are provided to Williams through independent
contractors. As part of their master services agreements with Williams, independent
contractors are required to comply with local, state and federal regulations. Contractors are
required to implement SPCC plans, as applicable, specific to contractor operations at each
facility.
Part 112.7(d) Practicality of Structures
This plan has deemed that the structures and pieces of equipment referenced in Part
112.7(d), and pertinent to this plan, are practical to this plan.
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 17
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
Part 112.7(e) Inspections, Test, and Records
Annual inspections and testing outlines are provided in Appendix C for all oil storage tanks,
separators, flowlines and produced water storage pits. Oil field handling personnel shall
make routine visual examination of storage containers, equipment and piping during normal
operational and maintenance visits. Visual examination deficiencies will be documented and
reported on Annual Flowline Inspection Checklist in Appendix C. Signed and dated
inspection records and other pertinent information including training shall be maintained and
available for a period of a minimum of three years.
Part 112.7(f) Personnel Training and Discharge Prevention Procedures
All oil -handling field personnel will receive, at a minimum, annual training applicable to the
operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges, discharge procedures,
applicable rules and regulations, general facility operations, and the contents of the SPCC
Pian. The training shall include discharge prevention, the SPCC Plan, spills/discharges,
malfunctions, failures, and other pertinent information. A training outline and attendance log
are provided in Appendix D.
The SPCC Plan Representative or designee reports to Williams Production RMT Company
management and is accountable for discharge prevention; and conducting and scheduling
discharge prevention training. The SPCC Representative or designee will make appropriate
reports to the management Production Supervisor/EH&S Department upon discovery of a
discharge at individual facilities.
Part 112.7(g) Security
Although this paragraph is not applicable to oil production facilities, the individual facilities
are located in remote areas, accessible generally through private roads. Fences are
constructed and maintained around well heads, production equipment and oil storage tanks.
Individual facilities are evaluated by oil handling personnel for specific security measures.
Part 112.7(h) Facility Tank Car Loading/Unloading Rack
The facilities contained in this SPCC Plan do not have facility tank car loading/unloading
racks, however transfer areas are present where oil/condensate and produced water is
transferred from facility storage containers to tank trucks for transport.
All truck transfer operations are manned. Spill kits and shovels are located in tanker trucks.
Should a transfer hose or valve rupture or become disconnected, the spill potential volume
has been calculated to be 112 gallons. This is based upon a discharge estimate of 675 gpm
assuming the largest tank of 16,800 gallons is full with a head pressure of 20 feet. Details
are provided in the "Prediction of Oil Spill Discharge Quantity and Direction" table in
Appendix E for each facility. Spills will be retained onsite by the driver with the spill
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 18
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
kits/shovel until cleanup can occur. Appendix B contains oil spill response procedures
incorporated into this Plan.
Part 112.7(i) Brittle Facture Analysis
The facilities in this plan do not utilize field -constructed aboveground containers and
therefore, are not subject to this section of the SPCC rule.
Part 112.7(j) State Requirements
This SPCC Plan meets the State of Colorado, Division of Oil and Public Safety SPCC
requirements; and conforms to the rules of the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission; and the
conditions of the Storm Water Management Plans issued by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and the Environment.
Part 112.7(k) Qualified Oil Filled Operational Equipment
During the drilling, workover and completion phases of natural gas well development,
qualified oil -filled operational equipment may be temporarily located at individual facilities
within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan. This equipment includes drilling and workover
rigs, diesel -operated electrical generators, transformers, hydraulic fracturing pumping
equipment and other pumping mechanisms. This equipment contains petroleum and oil, oily
produced water, gear boxes, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, cooling system fluids, circuit
breakers and electrical switches.
Secondary containment for qualified oil -filled operational equipment is provided as part of
the State Of Colorado's required Storm Water Management Plan for the site. A copy of the
Storm Water Management Plans references are contained in Appendix F. Best
management practices at each facility include a perimeter berm of the entire well pad to
prevent escapement of all fluids from the facility and diversionary channels to prevent
surface flows from entering the site. All oil -filled operation equipment is contained within the
perimeter berms.
These berms are a minimum of one foot high and usually 18" to 24" high. Well pad size
varies, but at a minimum, is at least 1 acre in size. Utilizing 1 acre or 43,560 square feet
times one foot of depth, the containment volume equates to 325,851 gallons. Based on
familiarity with the drilling sites and the oil -filled equipment, the total amount of oil contained
in all the oil -filled equipment does not exceed 25,000 gallons. Secondary containment is
adequate to contain all of the oil from this equipment including the equipment's fluid
displacement plus precipitation volume from a 25 -year 24-hour event estimated to be 65,166
gallons, until cleanup can occur.
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 19
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
All drilling and completion phases are manned and continuously monitored. Spill kits are
maintained onsite during these phases and all spills are cleaned and remediated
immediately. Under the Storm Water Management Plans, formal documented inspections
are conducted by third party compliance contractors every 14 days and after every
significant precipitation event. After construction activities have ceased and interim
reclamation established, Storm Water Management Pian inspections occur every 30 days
for the duration or life with the natural gas wells. Work orders are issued by the storm water
compliance contractors for inspection deficiencies and promptly rectified. Daily visual
examinations are made of the perimeter berm by onsite personnel.
All qualified oil -filled equipment is removed after drilling and completion activities cease.
Part 112.8 SPCC Requirements for Onshore Non -Production Facilities
The individual facilities within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are production facilities
and therefore not subject to this section of the rule.
Part 112.9(a) Onshore 011 Production SPCC Requirements
This SPCC Plan meets the general requirements listed under section 40 CFR Part 112.7
and the specific discharge prevention and containment procedures of Part 112.9.
Part 112.9(b) 011 Production Facility Drainage
Discharges to the environment of precipitation from secondary containment structures are
not anticipated in this Plan. Average net evaporation for this facility location, as estimated
from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data, is approximately 20
inches annually. The NOAA data also indicates that the 25 -year 24-hour precipitation event
is 2.4 inches for the plan area. Based on these climatic factors, precipitation discharge
releases from secondary containment is not expected.
No penetrations, drain valves or permanent automatic pumps or ejector devices are present
in secondary containment structures. If a secondary containment structures must be
emptied, a vacuum truck is generally utilized. Prior to emptying the containment areas,
accumulated precipitation shall be inspected by field personnel. If oil is noted on the
accumulated precipitation it will be removed prior to draining the structure. Recovered
product is to be placed back into appropriate storage container or disposed of in accordance
with applicable local, state and federal regulation. All containment release events shall be
recorded on the Containment Release Documentation form in Appendix C.
Site drainage runoff and runon are controlled with best management practices under a
formalized Storm Water Management Plan permitted by the State of Colorado under Storm
Water Management Plan, general conditions Permit #COR 30,000, issued by the Colorado
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 20
Williams Production RMT Company • Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
Department of Public Health and Environment. These plans employ best management
practices to reduce and eliminate both runoff from the site and runon to the site. Specific
Storm Water Management Plans are referenced in Appendix F and incorporated into this
Plan.
Under the Storm Water Management Plans, formal documented inspections are conducted
at the facilities by third party compliance contractors every 14 days and after every
significant precipitation event. After construction activities have ceased and interim
reclamation established, Storm Water Management Plan inspections occur every 30 days
for the duration or life with the natural gas wells. Work orders are issued by the storm water
compliance contractors for inspection deficiencies and promptly rectified.
All secondary containment structures are also inspected at annual intervals as outlined in
Appendix C.
Part 112.9(c) Onshore Oil Production Facility Bulk Storage Containers
All tank batteries and separators are provided with secondary containment structures. Under
the Storm Water Management Plans, formal documented inspections are conducted at the
facilities by third party compliance contractors every 14 days and after every significant
precipitation event. After construction activities have ceased and interim reclamation
established, Storm Water Management Plan inspections occur every 30 days for the
duration or life with the natural gas wells. Work orders are issued by the storm water
compliance contractors for inspection deficiencies and promptly rectified.
011 and produced water storage tanks; three-phase separators and produced water storage
pits have been designed and installed in accordance with good engineering practices. All oil
storage tanks are shop -built and meet industry standards such as the American Petroleum
Institute (API) tank construction standard. Their design and construction are compatible with
the oil they contain and the temperature and pressure conditions of storage. Specific
produced water storage pit details are also discussed in Part 112.7(c) and incorporated into
this paragraph. Tank and pit capacities are adequate to assure that the oil storage
containers will not overflow if the transportation truck is delayed in making regularly
scheduled rounds.
Oil and produced storage tanks and separators are enclosed within a secondary
containment structure for the entire capacity of the largest tank and sufficient freeboard for
precipitation. Secondary containment structures are field measured during each annual
inspection. Calculated secondary containment requirements for individual facility are
included in Appendix E. Deficiencies in required secondary containment will be corrected
upon discovery. The secondary containment structures are constructed of either earthen
materials or Tined walled structures to contain oil within the area until clean-up can occur.
Earthen containment berms are composed of packed silty clay material, sufficiently
compacted and, in some cases, completed with a gravel cover to provide protection from
erosion. The secondary containment systems are maintained to prevent their integrity from
being compromised by burrowing animals and vegetation. Any and all vegetation is removed
Fox Engineering Solutions LLC September 2009 Page 21
Williams Production RMT Company Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan
and deficiencies from burrows are promptly repaired. Specific secondary containment details
are provided in Part 112.7(c) and incorporated by reference into this paragraph.
Storage tanks and supporting foundations are visually inspected annually for deterioration
and maintenance needs. Records of internal inspections are maintained as a part of the
SPCC Plan, and included in Appendix C. Defective tanks are repaired or replaced.
Secondary containment structures walls are elevated above grade to prevent surface
drainage from entering the secondary containment areas.
Oil storage containers will be periodically updated in accordance with accepted best
engineering practices to prevent discharges. These improvements may include enhanced
cathodic protection and non -corrosive tank liners. Pressure transducers, to monitor
produced water storage pit levels, are being investigated for possible inclusion into future pit
monitoring systems.
Produced water pits are constructed to safely and structurally contain their fluids and
precipitation associated with a 25 -year 24-hour event as estimated above. Containment is
provided by installing competent synthetic liners resistant to chemicals, ultra -violet Tight and
suitable for harsh environmental and climatic factors. The liners are installed per the
manufacturer's installation and testing requirements. Pits are maintained with a minimum of
two foot of freeboard at all times. Pits are constructed and monitored to the standards
required by the State of Colorado in the 900 Series Rules of the Colorado Oil and Gas
Commission.
All facility oil and produced water storage sites are monitored through either telemetry
system or gauging during routine operational visits. At selected sites, containers are
equipped with high-level sensors actuated by a float switch or laser level indicators. Alarms
are transmitted to the Williams Production RMT control system that notifies personnel that
the tank must be emptied. Williams then dispatches a tanker truck to the facility. As a
failsafe, the flowlines carrying oil liquids from the wellheads to the storage tanks can be
closed remotely using the telemetry system.
As a good engineering practice, tanks and pits capacities are sized to accommodate 90
days of oil/condensate and produced water volumes produced at the facilities. Flow
production records and experience are used as the basis for scheduling routine visits to
ensure that containers do not overflow.
Skid -mounted bulk storage tanks are temporarily placed at facilities during drilling, workover
and completion activities. These tanks are required to be shop -built to industry standards
such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) tank construction standard. These tanks are
temporary and are not cathodically protected. Their design and construction are compatible
with the oil they contain and the temperature and pressure conditions of storage.

Part 112.9 (d) Facility Transfer Operations
All aboveground valves, flange joints, drip pans, pipe supports, valve glands, appurtenances
and piping associated with transfer operations shall be inspected semi-annually. Inspection
forms are provided in Appendix C. When a pipe is not in service, for an extended period,
the associated valves are to be kept closed and lines are bull plugged or blind flanged and
marked as to the tie-in connection.
There are no saltwater oil field brine disposal facilities within the Parachute natural gas field.
Flowlines at individual facilities within the Parachute Integrated SPCC Plan are protected
from corrosion by pipe coatings and/or pipe wraps. Portions of the flowlines are buried on
the site. After the third operational year, flowline maintenance includes annual pressure
tests to insure structural integrity and prevent discharges. An Inspection and testing form is
provided in Appendix C. Non -recorded visual inspections and flowline diagnostics are
performed several times weekly by field personnel to ensure structural integrity of the
flowlines. Copies of all inspections and testing results shall be maintained for a period of
three years. Defective flowlines are repaired or replaced.
Part 112.10 Drilling and Workover Facilities
Drilling and workover operations bulk storage containers meet the general requirements of
Part 112.7 and as referenced in Part 112.9, and the specific discharge prevention and
containment procedures listed under Part 112.7. Drilling and workover bulk storage
containers are referenced and incorporated in both Part 112.7 and Part 112.9.
Mobile drilling and workover equipment are placed within the perimeter containment berms
as described in Part 112.7(c) to contain and prevent discharges into navigable waters of the
United States or adjoining shorelines.
The perimeter containment berms, as referenced in Part 112.7 and Part 112.9 and
incorporated into this paragraph, are sufficient to intercept and contain discharges of fuel,
crude oil or oily drilling fluids.
Blowout prevention assemblies and control systems, capable of controlling well head
pressures, are installed before drilling below the casing string or during workover operations.

Spill Response Plan
March 2009
I. Spill Prevention and Response Policy
It is Williams' policy that its employees and contractors implement spill prevention and
response plans in order to avoid and minimize the potential for spills and releases in the
exploration and development of natural gas leases, in accordance with Federal and state
regulations. This includes, but is not limited to the development and implementation of
Best Management Practices (BMPs), training, and other actions that prevent, and take
action to, manage spills and releases on Federal, state or private properties that are
leased, managed, owned, or otherwise used by Williams.
II. Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this plan is to provide clear, comprehensive guidance and expectations
for Williams employees and its contractors to prevent, mitigate, and manage spills and
releases. This includes spill/release prevention, discovery, notifications, response
actions, reporting, and subsequent remedial actions (as applicable).
Contractors are required to develop and implement their own spill prevention and response
plans tailored to the scope of activities as described in their Master Service Agreement
(MSA) and Request for Services (RFS), and assure their plan complies with the guidance
and expectations set forth in the Williams Spill Prevention and Response plan.
Williams management and employees supervising natural gas exploration and
development field activities, including contractor activities, are expected to have a
working knowledge of this plan, particularly the chain of command for notification and
reporting of spills and releases.
Williams contractors are responsible for their spills and releases, and those of their
subcontractors, in accordance with their (MSA). In the event of a contractor spill,
Williams responsibilities are limited to ensuring that contractors comply with applicable
federal and state regulations and guidance (including safety). Corrective action will be
implemented (by contractor) to avoid the potential for future spills.
III. Plan Applicability
This plan is applicable to all aspects of Williams exploration and development
operations including, but not limited to, drilling and completion, production, gas plant
operations, and pipeline operations. It is specifically applicable to any vehicles, facilities
and equipment that use, store, transport, dispose, or otherwise handle or manage
chemicals (MSDS-regulated chemicals), hazardous materials, E&P wastes (drilling

muds, produced water, condensate), domestic waste (septic holding tanks), hazardous
waste (oil, grease) extremely hazardous substances, or any other Federal or state
regulated substance or waste.
Federal and State Spill Prevention and Management Regulations
Despite implementation of prevention practices and BMPs, spills may still occur. In the
event of a spill, regulations for spill management can be found in several Federal and
state regulations, including but not limited to the following:
➢ Clean Water Act (CWA): 40 CFR subchapter D parts 100-149
40 CFR 112 part 112 SPCC

➢ CDPHE: 6 C.C.R. 1007-2 & 1007-3
➢ CDOT: 8 C.C.R. 1507-25 HMT 3
IV. SpilVRelease Prevention
Williams first and foremost priority is that it's employees and contractors take all
reasonable measures and implement BMPs to prevent both stationary and transportation-
related
ransportationrelated spills and releases from occurring. Measures and BMPs include, but are not
limited to the following:
A. Standard Prevention and Training
➢ Informing and training employees, contractors, and subcontractors of actions
required to avoid potential spill situations such as:
■ Checking for open or secured valves prior to, during and after
loading/unloading operations
2IPage
Revision -5
Williams E&P
Spill Response Plan
March 2009
• Monitoring tank levels (don't count on alarms)
• Building berms around loading/unloading areas
• Providing portable spill basins during fluid transfers
• Checking equipment (tanks, hoses, valves) for deterioration and leaks
• Servicing vehicles/equipment (oil changes, lubrication) responsibly
• Maintaining vehicles to avoid accidents resulting in spills
• Being aware of surroundings when backing or moving vehicles
• Ensuring stable ground when placing equipment, tanks and pipelines
> Providing quarterly training to new Williams and contractor personnel on how
to avoid potential spill situations.
> Provide annual training for all employees who have completed initial spill
prevention training.
B. Areas of Special Concern (317B Areas)
➢ Williams now operates or will operate in some areas which require, due to
increased public concern and new regulations, a higher level of preventative
action. This would include the following:
• All areas south of the Colorado River
• The new 317B areas as outlined in the revised COGCC 300 series rules
> Actions that will require further due diligence on the part of Williams when
operating in these areas would include:
• Checking for seeps and springs within a 1/8 mile radius
• Checking for surface water such as ponds within a 1/8 mile radius.
• Full understanding of what the new 317B areas are and knowledge of
how to implement the Beaver Creek and Battlement Mesa Tactical Spill
Response Plan.
V. Spill Management
For purposes of this plan, spill response and management addresses the major steps
listed below. A flowchart illustrating an overall view of how Williams spill response and
management operates is located in Appendix A.
3JPage
Revision -5
Williams E&P
Spill Response Plan
March 2009
A. Discovery
Discovery includes either actual or potential spills/releases, and in some cases
situations that are not a spill or release, but someone has reported it as such. In any
event, it is important to confirm that an actual or potential spill situation has occurred
before the implementing spill response. If in doubt contact the appropriate spill
response personnel as listed in Appendix C for assistance prior to implementing this
plan.
IF A SPILL OR RELEASE PRESENTS AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO HUMAN
HEALTH, SAFETY, THE ENVIRONMENT, EVOLVES INTO OR IS ALREADY
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AS OUTLINED IN THE EMERGENCY
RESPONSE PLANS (ERPs), CALL 911 AND IMPLEMENT THE
APPROPRIATE ERP.
B. Containment
Containment, for purposes of this plan, means stopping the spill or release from
increasing in volume, size or duration. The person/persons who discover the spill
should attempt to contain the spill only if safe to do so.
Under no circumstances should field personnel attempt to manage an unknown spill or
situation without adequate training, personal protective equipment (PPE) or without
exercising extreme caution.
1
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN THE SPILL IF UNSAFE TO DO SO
If there is no immediate threat to human health, safety or the environment, and
you are convinced that the spill can be safely contained then one can:
➢ Survey the area for personal safety.
➢ Stop the activity or process causing the spill/release.
➢ Warn others in the .area, secure the scene of the spill/release
D Isolate the affected spill area.
D Initiate notifications as outlined in Appendix C and C-1
➢ Avoid direct contact with the spilled material;
D Avoid inhalation of any gases, fumes, vapor or smoke — stay upwind;
➢ Stay at safe location near the spill until an authorized spill responder arrives.

2. Contractor Spills
Contractors with a valid MSA are fully responsible for their spills. This includes all
costs associated with responding to, containment, notification and reporting,
remediation, and corrective actions necessary to minimize the potential for future
spills. Williams or their environmental spill response contractor will complete the
necessary reporting to the appropriate federal or state agency as outlined in
Appendices E & F.
Contractor Spill, response actions will be conducted in accordance with the
Contractor's Spill Prevention and Response Plan.
Contractors will be responsible for the following items if it is determined that they are
the responsible party in the event of a spill or release:
D. A meeting will be held with the responsible contractor following notification of
the spill. The contractor's representative will be in a supervisory role and will
contact the Williams spill response team lead:
1. The contractor responsible for the spill will schedule a meeting with the
Williams spill response team lead within 24 hours of the spill.
2. The contractor will bring their spill investigation form and it will be
reviewed to assure completeness of the form.
3. In addition a spill investigation letter will be filled out by the
responsible contractor and it will be submitted to the Williams spill
response team lead within 3 days of the spill or release. A copy of this
letter is located in Appendix D-1.
4. The contractor will be informed that the person or persons responsible
for the release will attend the next available spill prevention training.
D All contractors must provide proof that they have a qualified environmental
person in-house or an environmental consultant to manage spills.
In the event the responsible party has the ability to control a spill within the guidelines
of this plan, the Williams' spill response contractor will still provide oversight on
Williams' behalf to assure the spill has been managed correctly and there are no
repercussions to Williams as a result of the spill or release, if the spill is located on a
Williams lease or property.

Revision -5
Williams E&P
Spill Response Plan
March 2009
Contractors will be required to include and maintain a current listing of all
chemicals, substances and wastes used in their operations (as well as the applicable
MSDS sheets) in their Spill Prevention and Response Plan.
E. Notification
Federal and State verbal notification requirements for spills are based on two criteria:
1. The type of material spilled and;
2. The volume of material spilled.
3. Affected environmental media (i.e. soil, water)
These materials are further sub -divided into two categories;
1. Exploration and Production Waste (E&P Waste) such as produced water,
condensate, or any other material that has been down hole and;
2. Non -E&P Waste such as fuels and oils. This would include materials such
as diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, motor oil, and glycol.
The most common materials encountered when responding to spills and notification
volumes are outlined in Appendix E. For materials that are not listed in Appendix E,
one must consult the MSDS sheet for the material spilled, determine if it is E&P or
Non -E&P waste and make the appropriate notification if required if the reportable
quantity is exceeded. Contact information for federal and state agencies is outlined in
Appendix E-1.
In order to provide further due diligence, Williams has notification requirements for
spills, both company and contractor, with volumes that are less than the federal and
state requirements. These notification requirements are in place to satisfy
environmental obligations that the operator must comply with. These are set forth in
Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Specifically they are found in Chapter II,
Part 3160, subpart 3162, Section 3162.5-1 Environmental Obligations. These are
outlined in Appendix E-2.
*URGENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT*
For any spill/release that migrates off the pad and reaches live water, or has the
potential to reach live water, or affects a drainage that flows to live water;
immediately notify the Williams Env. Team Lead Immediately. (See Appendix C)
In addition, Williams uses the notification requirements as outlined Appendix E-2 to
track and document the cause of spills so procedural changes can be implemented to
better manage spills and prevent them

Revision -5
Williams E&P
Spill Response Plan
March 2009
F. Reporting
Federal and State reporting requirements for spills, as with notification, are again based
on;
1. The type of material spilled and;
2. The volume of material spilled
3. Affected environmental media (i.e. soil, water)
These.materials as well are sub -divided into two categories
1. Exploration and Production Waste (E&P Waste) such as produced water,
condensate, or any other material that has been down hole and;
2. Non -E&P Waste such as fuels and oils. This would include materials such
as diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, motor oil, and glycol.
Even though a spill may not require verbal notification it still may be reportable. The
most common materials encountered when responding to spills and reporting volumes
are outlined in Appendix F. For materials that are not listed in Appendix F one must
consult the MSDS sheet for the material spilled, determine if it is E&P or Non -E&P
waste and submit the appropriate form or forms if required. Contact information for
federal and state agencies is outlined in Appendix F-1.
In the event that a spill or release resolve in significant damage to equipment, a
Form 22 will be submitted to the COGCC by Williams' safety department within 10
days of the incident.
G. Remediation
In some instances, remediation may be required when a spill occurs. Whether or not a
spill requires remediation is, again, dependant on the type of material spilled, the
volume spilled, and if the spill is contained on the pad by stormwater controls or tank
berms already in place. In addition remediation will be dependent on whether or not the
pad is a working well pad or a well pad that has been reclaimed. Spills that migrate off
any pad in volumes greater than those stated in Appendix E-2 will, in most cases, need
to be remediated. The Williams environmental team lead, or the appropriate spill
response contractor will make these determinations.
*URGENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT*
For any spill/release that migrates off the pad and reaches live water, or has the
potential to reach live water, or affects a drainage that flows to live water;
immediately notify the Williams Env. Team Lead Immediately. (See Appendix C)
Revision -5
Williams E&P
Spill Response Plan
March 2009
In the event a spill is remediated and results in the accumulation of either E&P or Non -
E&P waste, refer to the Williams Waste Management Plan for management and
disposal of these wastes.
VL Training
It is required that all Williams and contractor personnel responsible for spill response
and management complete Williams spill response training on an annual basis. At a
minimum this includes Operations Managers, Field Supervisors, and EHS management
and staff.
It is strongly recommended that Williams and contractor personnel performing field
response and remediation activities complete the 24 -Hour HAZWOPER course and
annual refresher courses.
As stated in Section IV, training for new Williams and contractor employees will be
offered on a quarterly basis. This can be arranged through HRL Compliance Solutions,
Inc or Cordilleran Compliance Services, Inc. Documentation that your employees have
completed the necessary training will be provided.
Williams and contractor employees that have documented proof they have completed the
initial spill response training will be required to update their training annually.
VII. Spill /Release Costs and Invoicing
All spills must be billed to the appropriate project charge code (aka AFE) regardless of
where the spill actually occurred.
For contractor spills, Williams will only pay the costs associated with oversight of the
spill billed to Williams by its Spill Response Contractor. All other costs are the
responsibility of the contractor causing the spill. This includes response costs by third
party contractors to contain spills.
Williams will not accept invoices from third parties for contractor spills. If a bill is
inadvertently forwarded to Williams, the amount will be deducted from future payments
and show as a credit to Williams.

Appendix B.
Containment
Williams, designated spill response, and contractor personnel involved in day to day
operations at Williams facilities should carry some basic spill response materials with them
at all times in order to contain spills and releases. However, as stated in section B of the
Spill Prevention and Response Plan;
1
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN THE SPILL IF UNSAFE TO DO SO
Listed below are some options that can be implemented for spill containment
Containment materials for spills/releases to soil and surface water
1. Portable spill kits as stated above. Kits should contain
• Absorbent pads
• Absorbent Booms
• Absorbent Clay
• Shovels
2. Soil stockpiles located in strategic locations for berm construction of needed.
3. Vacuum truck company phone numbers for removal of free liquids from pads,
roads, drainages, and surface water in the event free product or sheen is present.
In the event that additional spill response materials are needed; Williams has placed six spill
response stations at various locations. Six are located in the Valley and three are located in
the Highlands. Figures 1 & 2 in Appendix B-1 depict the locations of Williams' Spill
Response Stations. A list of materials and equipment that is stored in the spill response
stations is included in Appendix B-2.
Note: Each spill response station has an inventory checkout list that should be filled out prior
to taking materials from the station. This better enables Williams to track items utilized
during spill response. An example of the inventory checkout list is also included in
Appendix B-2.
Containment options for spills/releases to soil and surface water
If it is determined that there is no immediate threat to human health and one is certain that
the spill can be safely contained then the following options can be implemented;
1. Attempt to stop the spill at the source such as closing valves, plugging holes,
etc.
2. For releases to soil try to isolate the spill area by constructing earthen berms,
placing booms or absorbent pads around the spill avoiding direct contact with
the material spilled.
3. Remove free liquids if possible
4. For spills/releases that potentially or have impacted surface water attempt to
stop the material released at the point where it enters the water. (i.e. earthen
berms, absorbent booms/ pads) then;
5. In flowing water place booms/dikes at easily accessible downstream locations
as close to the point where the spill/release enters the surface water.
6. Have vac trucks dispatched to the location to remove any free product or sheen
visible on the water.

Williams Notification Guidelines
Williams Company and Contractor Notification Requirements
As stated in section E. of this plan, Williams has established threshold values on materials spilled
or released in order to provide additional due diligence to satisfy federal and state .requirements.
Also Williams utilizes this data to track and identify potential trends to implement procedural
changes which can better manage spill/releases and better manage them. The Williams reporting
requirements area as follows;
1. Any spill of E&P waste (produced water, condensate) greater than 1 barrel and Any Spill of
non -E&P waste (Diesel fuel, motor oil) greater than 5 gallons needs to be reported to the
proper Williams environmental team lead in order to provide the due diligence requirements
set forth in Section 3162.5-1 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
2. Any spill of E&P or non -E&P waste in the quantities listed above that has migrated off-site
needs to be reported to the appropriate Williams environmental team lead Immediately.
As stated above; if you are unable to contact the designated Williams personnel listed in
Appendix C, contact the appropriate spill response contractor (HRL Valley/Highlands) so any
notification/reporting that may be necessary can be completed within the designated reporting
time.
*URGENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT*
For any spill/release that migrates off the pad and reaches live water, or has the
potential to reach live water, or affects a drainage that flows to live water;
immediately notify the Williams Drilling/Field Lead Supervisor and the appropriate
Williams Env. Team Lead Immediately. (See Appendix C)

Inspection Records
and
Procedures
Procedures and Responsibilities
These procedures establish the requirements at each individual facility for periodic
inspections, tests and documentation for the oil storage tanks, vessels, connected piping
and oil -filled equipment. The Williams' SPCC representative is responsible for the
implementation of these procedures and for documenting and conducting the
inspections; producing documentation for deficiencies found during the inspections; and
making certain that remediation or repair work is properly prioritized and completed in a
timely manner. The Williams' SPCC representative may designate another personnel
member or contractor to complete the inspections. Formal annual inspections shall be
directed by the Williams' SPCC representative. Field personnel shall be responsible for
the Annual Flowline Inspection.
Oil handling personnel will become familiar with the Annual Flowline Inspection Checklist
below. After the third year of operations, flowlines will be pressure tested annually per
industry standards. Additionally, the Annual Flowline Inspection Checklist items are to be
observed by oil handling personnel as part of their routine operational visits to the sites.
Provide a written copy of the completed Annual Flowline Inspection Checklist to the
SPCC representative and upon discover of a spill or deficiency during routine
operational visits. Provide further description and comments, if necessary, on a separate
sheet of paper and attach to this sheet. *Any item that receives "yes" as an answer must
be described and addressed immediately.
The Annual Facility Data and Inspection Checklist, below, must be conducted and
completed each year. If any response requires further elaboration, provide comments in
the spaces provided. Further description and comments, if necessary, must be provided
on a separate sheet of paper and attached to this sheet. Any deficiencies that require
attention must be brought to the attention of the SPCC representative and addressed
immediately.
If, during any of the inspections, an oil spill is observed, the inspector shall immediately
initiate the oil spill response procedures outlined in Appendix B of this SPCC Plan.
All drainage releases from containment areas shall be documented on the Containment
Release Documentation form in this section.
Produced water storage pits levels shall be observed on routine operational and
maintenance visits. Sudden or unexplained level drops; or maintenance issues shall be
reported and investigated immediately.
Annual inspections shall also be documented in the Annual SPCC Inspection Facility List
in this section. All of the records and documentation for this plan may be stored under
normal business practices including electronic media.
The SPCC representative will examine the inspection reports to determine if changes to
secondary containment are required as the result of tank changes in the field or if other
conditions have changed since the last inspection. Technical amendments will be
initiated as outlined in this SPCC plan.
