Dear Ms Eastley:

OCT 17 20i'
The following is a report for Garfield County Special Use Permit No. 2008-86 ("Permit") originally
granted in June 2008 to Black Diamond Minerals, LLC (BDM) to operate a shale borrow pit within the
area known as Tepee Park Ranch (TPR) located in Garfield County, CO. The approved owner is CPX
Piceance Basin LLC (CPX). The current bond with the County is B010024. The General Manager is
Ward Giltner, who can be reached at (303) 489-8773 orwgiltner(yalioo.com.
A report of the shale borrow pit operations is noted below:
Extraction of shale rock at the TPR Borrow Pit is also permitted through the Colorado Department of
Mining, Reclamation and Safety (DMRS). A bond has been posted with that agency, as well. CPX has
complied with the performance standards as outlined in the Garfield County Special Use Permit and
the conditions placed by the DMRS permit.
The Annual Activity Plan, as required under the City of Rifle Watershed Permit, is provided below,
per the Special Use Permit requirements.
All construction work done at this site was conducted under a Stormwater Management Permit
(SWMP) issued by the CDPHE. Best Management Practices were implemented as defined in the
SWMP. The required inspections are now conducted and documented by Titan Field Service of Rifle,
CO. There were no incidents of non-compliance with the SWMP.
Annual Activity Plan (210171:
CPX has been intermittently mining the shale rock from the borrow pit. About 50 tons of shale rock
have been extracted year to date. The rock has been used for road maintenance and maintenance of
well pad locations to support natural gas production. Approximately 50 to 75 tons of shale rock is
projected to be extracted in 2018.
