1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to comply with the Colorado Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission (COGCC) Title 34, Section 317B Emergency Spill Response Program
Rules. The ERP is intended to document the specific requirements, protocols, responsibilities, and
materials/equipment necessary for a spill response team to conduct an emergency response to a
hazardous materials spill (i.e. petroleum exploration products and chemicals) within the Battlement
Drainage Basin & Colorado River Buffer Zones. The Battlement Creek & Colorado River drainage
area south of 1-70 buffer zones are shown on (Appendix D/Figure 1) along with relevant spill
response information such as roads, well pads, and the locations of spill response equipment/kits.
The objective of the Plan is to ensure that notification, response, reporting, and remedial actions are
conducted in a manner that protects human health and the environment in COGCC designated
surface water drinking water supply areas. The COGCC 317B rules state that oil and gas operators
with production operations within designated surface water drinking water supply areas shall:
(6) An emergency spill response program that includes employee training, safety, and maintenance provisions
and current contact information for downstream Public Water System(s) located within fifteen (15) stream miles
of the DCPS Operation, as well as the ability to notify any such downstream Public Water System(s) with
intake(s) within fifteen (15) stream miles downstream of the DCPS operations.
In the event of a spill or release, the operator shall immediately implement the emergency response
procedures in the above-described emergency response program.
If a spill or release impacts or threatens to impact a Public Water System, the operator shall notify the affected
or potentially affected Public Water System(s) immediately following discovery of the release, and the spill or
release shall be reported to the Commission in accordance with Rule 906.b.(3), and to the Environmental
Release/incident Report Hotline (1-877-518-5608) in accordance with Rule 906.b.(4).
The procedures and contact information contained in this ERP will enhance spill response activities
by developing response protocols for specific spills that could occur, and defining decision making
processes that identify the appropriate type of response/resources (equipment and manpower) that
should be engaged to respond to a spill. This plan will enable Williams Production RMT to better
organize and coordinate its available resources if a spill event occurred within the drainage. Effective
coordination of resources during both the emergency response and spill response phases of a
cleanup will significantly reduce both the immediate and potential long-term environmental impacts
resulting from a spill. it is important to note that this plan needs to be periodically reviewed as
Williams recognizes that all potential situations may not be identified in this plan. This ERP will be
used in conjunction with the plans listed below, which include emergency action procedures, check
lists, operation manuals, and reference documents that are currently used in this production field:
• Williams SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN March 2009, Revision 5
• United States Environmental Protection Agency - Colorado River Basin Sub -Area Emergency
Response Action Plan.
• United States Environmental Protection Agency - Region Vlll Area Contingency Plan.
• National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), outlined in 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 300.
• 40 CFR 112;
• 33 CFR 330;
• COGCC Title 34, Section 906; and
• MMS's Facility Response Plan Regulation 30 CFR part 254

3.0 SPILL SEVERITY ASSESSMENT
The information provided by the spill severity assessment must be reported to the appropriate
spill response personnel as soon as possible so that the appropriate spill response actions can
be initiated and the appropriate equipment can be mobilized to contain the spill. The information
that must be collected and reported includes:
1. The location of the spill incident (well pad ID, roadway location, pipeline location);
(Figure 1)
2. Proximity to waterway or drainage (distance, direction, and
topography/slope/steepness); (Figure 1)
3. The material that spilled (Condensate, oil, produced water, other chemicals);
4. The volume of material spilled (gallons or barrels);
5. Location of nearest spill response equipment/kit (Figure 1)
NOTE: FIGURE 1 PROVIDES A QUICK REFERENCE CONCERNING THE
LOCATIONS OF WELL PADS, ACCESS ROADS AND SPILL RESPONSE
EQUIPMENT.
4.0 WATERSHED INFORMATION
The flow characteristics within the Battlement Creek/Colorado River drainage are dependent
upon the season and specific channel characteristics within the drainage. Understanding the
seasonal stream/river flow characteristics within various portions of the drainage basin is
necessary to effectively respond to a potential spill so that appropriate spill control equipment can
be deployed to locations in advance of the leading edge of the spill to contain and recover the
spilled material. This section summarizes the seasonal stream/river flow characteristics (including
seasonal stream/river flow travel times), access points along the creek/river (including
approximate drive times), and the locations of spill response equipment.
(Appendix D / Figure 3) The stream/river flow characteristics that determine the travel time for a
spill to reach the water intakes in Sections 7 and 18 include the stream/river channel gradient,
stream/river channel geometry (depth, width, linear vs. meandering), stream/river bed
composition (free -stone, boulders, logs), and flow velocity. A summary of these characteristics is
provided below.
2
Gradient — Gradient is a measure of the "steepness" of the stream/river channel and the steeper
a channel is the faster the water flows from point A to point B in the channel. At the farthest
upstream access point to Battlement Creek (PA 41-9 Williams well pad), in Section 9, the
elevation of the Battlement Creek stream channel is approximately 5840 feet above mean seal
level (AMSL). At the point Battlement Creek joins the Colorado River in Section 4, a linear
distance of approximately 5390 feet, the stream channel elevation is approximately 5085 feet
AMSL, giving Battlement Creek a drop of 755 feet for a calculated gradient of 0.14 feet (of drop)
per foot (of linear distance). On a relative scale, this represents a fairly steep stream channel
gradient.
At the farthest downstream intake (Intake #1) of the Colorado River, in Section 18, the elevation
of the Colorado River channel is approximately 5040 feet AMSL. There is a linear distance of
approximately 3.85 miles between Intake #1 and the point where Battlement Creek joins the
Colorado River, which has an elevation of approximately 5085 feet AMSL. This section of the
Colorado River has a calculated gradient of 11.69 feet per mile or 0.0022 feet (of drop) per foot
(of linear distance). On a relative scale, this represents a fairly mild gradient.
Stream channel geometry — Along the reach of the Battlement Creek drainage basin to the
where it joins with the Colorado River the stream channel is virtually linear with very little
meandering. The channel is relatively narrow (ranging from 4 feet wide to 8 feet wide) and
moderately incised. The Colorado River channel meanders and is relatively wide (ranging from 50
feet wide to 300 feet wide) and .
Stream Bed Composition — The stream/river bed is comprised of free stone rocks and boulders
with occasional small sand bars along the sides of the main flow channel. No Targe logs and
snags are present; however, there are numerous overhanging sweepers and small piles of
branches along the sides of the channel.
Flow Velocity — Stream flow measurements taken in 2007 at a gauging station on Battlement
Creek show that the average annual flow velocity was 1.81 feet per second (ft/sec). The highest
observed flow velocity, 1.91 ft/sec, occurred in mid to late June, and the lowest measured flow
velocity, 1.71 ft/sec, occurred in mid October. Given the measured flow velocities, the water is
moving along the stream channel at a rate of from 100 feet per minute to 115 feet per minute
depending on the seasonal flow velocity.
Based on the maximum annual flow velocity of 1.91 ft/sec, the travel time from Access Point 4 (in
Section 24) to the water intake in Sections 7 and 18 (on Figure 1) is approximately 150 minutes
(2 hours 30 minutes). If a spill occurs during a low flow season, then the travel time from acces
point 4 to the water intake would be approximately 169 minutes (2 hours 49 minutes).

(Appendix D / Figure 1)
COGCC 317B rules designated buffer zones within the Beaver Creek drainage basin,
including the tributary drainages. The three types of buffer areas include:
® Internal Buffer - Areas that lie within 300 feet of a stream channel (main or tributary) are
shown in red;
• Intermediate Buffer - Areas that lie from 300 feet to 500 feet from a stream channel are
shown in Yellow; and
• External Buffer - Areas that lie from 500 feet to 1/2 mile of a stream channel are shown in
green.
(Figure 1) - Access to the stream channel is available where nine locations were identified
along the stream channel for purposes of spill response planning. Spill response kit and station
locations are also identified in Figure 3.
(Appendix D) provides a larger (plate -sized) version of Figure 1, which also shows the
roads, well pads, and other relevant information.
(Figure 2) - Provides a color -coded flow chart that summarizes appropriate spill response
actions for potential spills that occur within the three designated buffer zones. For example if a
spill occurs somewhere in the red buffer zone, then you would follow the instructions summarized
in red, and so on.
(Figure 3) - Provides a summary of the travel times (in minutes) for water in the stream to
move from point to point along the stream based on the average annual flow velocity summarized
below.
The channel is relatively narrow (ranging from 4 feet wide to 8 feet wide) and moderately incised.
The Colorado River channel meanders and is relatively wide (ranging from 50 feet wide to 300
feet wide) and .
Stream Bed Composition — The stream/river bed is comprised of free stone rocks and boulders
with occasional small sand bars along the sides of the main flow channel. No large logs and
snags are present; however, there are numerous overhanging sweepers and small piles of
branches along the sides of the channel.
Flow Velocity — Stream flow measurements taken in 2007 at a gauging station on Battlement
Creek show that the average annual flow velocity was 1.81 feet per second (ft/sec). The highest
observed flow velocity, 1.91 ft/sec, occurred in mid to late June, and the lowest measured flow
velocity, 1.71 ft/sec, occurred in mid October. Given the measured flow velocities, the water is
moving along the stream channel at a rate of from 100 feet per minute to 115 feet per minute
depending on the seasonal flow velocity.
Based on the maximum annual flow velocity of 1.91 ft/sec, the travel time from Access Point 4 (in
Section 24) to the water intake in Sections 7 and 18 (on Figure 1) is approximately 150 minutes
(2 hours 30 minutes). If a spill occurs during a low flow season, then the travel time from acces
point 4 to the water intake would be approximately 169 minutes (2 hours 49 minutes).

5.0 SPILL RESPONSE EQUIPMENT
(Appendix E) - General types of spill response equipment that will be used for spill
containment and recovery are summarized in this section. Instructions for how to deploy the
various types of spill response equipment:
The basic types of spill response equipment include:
1) Spill containment equipment that is designed to prevent spills from reaching the stream
channel including straw bales, straw waddles, earth berms, absorbent pads, socks, or
booms; and
2) Spill recovery equipment that is used to remove spills from water bodies including booms,
pads, skimmers, and vacuum trucks.
(Appendix D) - Access Points 1 through 5 Williams has installed posts on each side of
Battlement Creek where spill containment and recovery equipment can be attached prior to
deployment.
(Appendix F) - Spill Response Station Inventory contains supplies of these types of spill
containment and recovery equipment. Instructions for developing various types of of spill
response equipment are provided in (Appendix A-C)
6.0 WINTER CONDITIONS
Spill response activities during the winter will need to consider additional factors such as snow
and ice on access roads and along the stream banks, and ice covering the stream channel which
could inhibit or prevent the rapid deployment of skimmers of booms without first removing the ice
and snow. In situations such as this it may be necessary to temporarily close or block the intake
pipe until the required spill recovery equipment can be deployed.

Spill Response Guidance (Figures A-C)
SPILL RESPONSE GUIDE
The first course of action in the event of a spill is to:
1 - Stop the release of additional spillage (for example - close the valve); then,
2 - Control/contain any spillage that has occurred; and finally,
3 - Remove/clean up the spilled material.
The actions outlined below are to be implemented after the release has been stopped.
SPILL CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES/EQUIPMENT
This section summarizes appropriate spill control or containment techniques that can be used to
control spills that may occur in the Battlement Creek/Colorado River drainage. The specific spill
control techniques that are used for a spill will depend on where the spill occurs, what was spilled,
and how much material was spilled. The spill techniques summarized below are organized first by
where a spill occurs (i.e. on land, or in or adjacent to water), then by how much material was
spilled.
Spills on Land
Appropriate spill control measures for spills that occur on land are summarized below.
Trenching and Berms:
(Appendix D / Figure 1) — Green Zones Spills that occur on land within the green buffer
zone shown on may be controlled by constructing berms or trenches around or in front (i.e.
downhill side) of the spilled material. This technique consists of constructing an earthen berm
around the spill to contain the fluid and/or digging a temporary hole to catch the run off oil for
removal by a vacuum truck or portable pump system.
Spills in Moving, Water
Spills that occur on (or into) running water such as Battlement Creek & Colorado River may be
controlled using the methods and equipment summarized below.
Booms and Skimmers:
(Appendix D / Figure B -C) - Booms are buoyant flow barriers deployed in a moving water to
control the spread of oil as shown in. The boom floats on the water to contain the oil and a
weighted skirt prevents oil from slipping under the flotation chamber.
(Appendix D / Figure B -C) This type of boom is deployed along the shore or out onto the
water. A skimmer unit pumps the oil from inside the boomed area to a vacuum truck. This
type of spill control technique may be used in narrow streams. Access Points 2, 3, and 4 are
locations where this technique will be used.
E-1
One of the following methods by itself, or in combination, may be used to contain oil in a relatively
slow moving, narrow, and shallow stream, such as Battlement Creek. See
Straw or Hay Bale Booms:
(Appendix E / Figure A) - Straw bales are tied together using baling wire to create an oil -
impervious barrier. As the oil collects in front of the boom, it can be removed with a vacuum
truck. Oil will also saturate the straw, requiring eventual disposal of the booms at a landfill or
hazardous waste disposal site.
Containment Booms:
a) Design: These booms are similar or identical to the containment booms utilized in spill
cleanup on lakes. The boom is constructed utilizing a flotation chamber filled with air, foam or
some other type of buoyant material. Oil containment is enhanced by a skirt that extends
downward into the water. These skirts are generally weighted in such a manner as to keep
the boom upright in the water. Oil -tight joints are also incorporated into the design so that
several booms may be joined together. Most booms also employ chain or steel for strength
and to provide anchor points. All commercially produced booms are based on these principals
although they vary in design and sophistication depending on the type of river conditions that
will be expected.
b) Deployment: (Appendix E / Figures A -C) - Booms deployed in streams. The angle at
which the boom is deployed depends upon the stream current. The angle of the boom should
be between 90 and 70 degrees to the shore. Try and place the boom straight across the
stream. Oil is collected upstream of the boom at the point of the boom which is furthest
downstream. The ends are anchored by running a chain or cable to the shore where they can
be held in place by using a wench line on a truck or by using a permanently installed dead
man in the stream along the shore.
OIL REMOVAL TECHNIQUES/EQUIPMENT
This section summarizes methods of removing spilled hydrocarbons that are captured by the spill
containment methods described above. In general, the spilled hydrocarbons will be removed by a
vacuum truck, pump, or some other mechanical suction means. (Appendix D / Figure 1) shows
the locations along Battlement Creek/Colorado River were, in the event of a spill, access to the
stream is available to stage response activities and place spill response and recovery machinery
and equipment. Typically, the recovered fluid will be transferred to temporary storage until the
leaking equipment has been repaired or replaced, or it will be transferred to storage at another
location.
Once a spill has been controlled as described in the previous section the accumulated oil will be
removed using the appropriate methods, depending upon the type and location of the spill.
In most instances three types of spills will be encountered in the Battlement Creek/Colorado River
Watershed area, these include:
E-2
Surface SpiII on Land
The accumulated oil should be removed as soon as practicable from the containment dikes and
trenches to prevent infiltration into native soils. Once the oil has been removed and taken to
temporary storage, any contaminated soils should be excavated and removed from the site for
appropriate disposal or treatment.
Narrow Streams
The contained oil should be removed as soon as practicable from within the containment booms
