Ursa Operating Company
Dear Glenn:
Thank you for your completeness review of Ursa Operating Company's (Ursa) Phase II Special
Use Permit Applications within the Battlement Mesa PUD. This letter serves Ursa's response to
your NTC letter dated June 29, 2017.
1. The Application needs to include a Statement of Authority designating Eric Schmela as
the agent for the Parcel 1 LLC. A letter from Eric Schmela is also needed authorizing
representation by Ursa Operating Company.
Response: The Statement of Authority for Eric Schmela to act on behalf of Battlement
Mesa Land Investments Parcel 1 LLC is included in this submittal. The recorded SOA
will be forwarded to Garfield County as soon as Ursa receives it. Also included is a
recorded Statement of Authority for Ursa Operating Company.
2. Copies of the Ursa Pipeline Operational procedures/protocol related to safety and
monitoring need to be provided (similar to previous pipeline applications).
Response: Included in this submittal are Ursa's Water Transfer Integrity procedures
and Pipeline Corrosion Monitoring procedures.
3. The Geologic Hazards Report identifies slopes and corrosive soils as an issue for the
site. The report needs to include site specific engineering recommendations for the
proposed pipeline. The report needs to address cut and fill areas, slope stability, and
potential for impacts due to ground water. The report also needs to update sections on
proximity to the flood plain.
Response: The Geologic Hazards Report has been updated to include site specific
information addressing the cut and fill areas, slope stability, corrosive soils, and potential
for impacts due to ground water. The proximity to the flood plain information has been
updated showing that this site is not within the Colorado River floodplain.
