Subject: [External] RE: Comments on RMNG's Cottonwood Pass Phase 1 Project
Patrick:
I met with Anna Smith, Dale Sostrom, and Jason Roecker this morning to discuss the Cottonwood Pass Pipeline. There
were two issues that we discussed:
They would like to bury the pipeline at 42" instead of the County stated depth of 48". There is little chance for
the pipe to be damaged by traffic or interfere with other utilities and the 42" exceeds the recommendations of
the manufacturer. It is our opinion that the 42" bury depth would be acceptable.
There is a chance that a 2" PE gas line would branch off the main and this would be buried at 24". Again, this
would be parallel but out of a driveway and is unlikely to suffer damage from traffic. This would be typical of
bury depths for a service line. It is our opinion that the 24" bury depth for this would also be acceptable.
Please feel free to call or email with any questions or comments. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,

Hi Chris!
I hope this email finds you doing very well since it's been a while from when we last spoke or
saw each other.
In coordinating with Patrick on this project, he has forwarded your comments on to us and has
recommended we reach out directly to you to discuss any questions or concerns we have. We do
have some questions and would like to know if you would have any time on Monday (4/22)
afternoon for a phone conference call with myself and RMNG's contracted engineer, Dale
Sostrom with Summit Engineering, to discuss the "CONDITIONS TO ALL PIPELINE
GRADING AND INSTALLATION PERMITS FOR GARFIELD COUNTY". RMNG's/BHE's
has typical installation standards they abide by and we would like to go over those with you.

Both Dale and I are available after 2 p.m. on Monday if you would have about 15-30 minutes to
spare to speak with us.
If you can let me know what time you could meet with us via phone, I will send out a meeting
invite with our conference call information on it.
Thanks for your time and consideration of this request!

3. PRIMARY NOTIFICATION CONTACTS
Emergencies are usually reported to Gas Control by a private citizen, a public emergency response officer or a field
employee.
When informed of an emergency by a private citizen, Gas Control personnel will obtain as much detail as possible
and call a designated field employee (OPS ALERT) to investigate the status. Employees on the scene will respond
to the emergency immediately.
When design or operational limits have been exceeded but the occurrence does not meet the level of an emergency
situation, it shall be referred to as an Abnormal Operating Condition (AOC). Investigate the event in conformance
with company standards. (An example is exceeding MAOP plus allowable build-up.)
When Company facilities are involved in an emergency, Company personnel shall take the appropriate action to
safeguard human life first and then protect Company and private property and maintain or restore operations, if
possible.
Field personnel shall immediately communicate information about the emergency to a supervisor, who will promptly
initiate the appropriate notification system following the ERL or ERL+ process. In the event the supervisor cannot be
reached immediately, field personnel will initiate the notification to Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) and/or
Codes & Standards (C&S). Designated personnel from EHS or C&S shall communicate reportable incidents by
telephone to regulatory agencies as soon as possible and within the regulatory reporting requirements. The
appropriate department as defined in the EHS Safety Manual will generate reports required as a result of the
incident. (Example: C&S will file the DOT 30 -day report.)

remote facilities should occur when the fire comes within five (5) miles of the facility and the appropriate
forest management agency predicts its path will continue toward the facility. Communications should be
maintained by the area supervisor with the appropriate forest management agency and gas control.
Appropriate Company personnel should be placed on alert by the area supervisor and/or Gas Control.
A meter station should be isolated and all above ground piping evacuated to the extent possible when the
area supervisor determines that the facility is in imminent danger.
