PROJECT DESCRIPTION The buried 6 inch steel pipeline will head in a westerly direction from 7-Mile Gultch 6 inch loop, located in the NESE quarter of Section 35, Township 23 North, Range 112 West to a pipeline ((Horse Trap Loop WYW-152785)) in the SENW quarter of Section 25, Township 23 North, Range 112 West, Lincoln County, Wyoming. The total length of the ROW is approximately 7541.9 feet, of which 7541.9 feet are on Federal lands. A 50 foot wide corridor is requested for construction, operational and maintenance purposes. The pipeline will consist of a 6 inch pipe, 0.156 inch wall thickness, Grade X-42 pipe with a maximum operating pressure of approximately 1200 psig. The average operating temperature of the pipeline is between 50 OF and 60°F. Associated facilities include valving and metering. All permanent above ground facilities, piping, and valving will be a flat, non-contrasting color harmonious with the surrounding landscape. Present warehouse stockcolors comprise of either Carls bad Canyon (2.5Y 6/2) or Desert Brown (10 YR 6/3). II. RECONNAISSANCE AND LOCATION Reconnaissance reveals that the route selected was the most practical route in relation tD the well location and the nearest collector pipeline. No other alternatives were considered because the proposed route utilizes existing surface scars as much as possible. III. ANCILLARY RIGHTS OF WAY AND PERMITS MGR will secure all rights of way on adjacent non-federal lands prior to pipeline construction. MGR will notify authorized ROW users of MGR's proposed pipeline crossings or overlaps on the grounds occupied by the affected ROW users. Any associated road and utility permits will be secured from the appropriate regulatory agency prior to construction. All equipment and vehicular access into the pipeline project will be confined to existing roads and the established ROW corridor. No major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. IV.

CONSTRUmON All design, material, and construction, operation, maintenance, and termination practices shall be in accordance with safe and proven engineering practices. All equipment and vehicular access into the pipeline project will be confined to existing roads and the established ROW corridor. No major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. Construction sites shall be maintained in a sanitary condition at all times; waste materials at those sites shall be disposed of promptly at an appropriate waste disposal site. "Waste" means all discarded matter including human waste, trash, garbage, refuse, oil drums, petroleum prod.Jcts, ashes and equipment. A litter policing program shall be implemented by the holder, and approved of in writing by the authorized officer, which covers all roads and sites associated with the ROW. Pipeline construction will commence when all permits and ROW documents have been secured. MGR will notify the authorized officer 5 days in advance of starting any construction activities. All private surface landowners will be contacted prior to construction for access and surface usage. MGR will not allow any construction or routine maintenance activities during periods when soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment. If such equipment creates surface ruts in excess of 4 inches deep, MGR will deem that soil conditions are too wet to adequately support construction equipment. Construction activities will not be allowed until soil conditims improve. Winter construction will not proceed/continue if the frost is deeper than one-foot. Frost less than one-foot deep will be stockpiled as topsoil. The BLM will be contacted prior to construction in winter cmditions. Construction of the proposed pipeline will occur in a planned sequence of pipeline operations along the route. The construction period will commence as follows: (5) five working days contingent upon weather conditions. All construction materials will be hauled to the job by truck, as needed, and strung along the ROW as it arrives. Pipe will be strung in such a manner as to cause the least interference with the normal use of the land crossed by the ROW. A motor grader with a blade will be used to knock down vegetation, such as sage brush within as much of the permanent ROW as is needed to provide a safe working area. lli::'W';iY:¡':(~;~ .-",..'_I"\.1_t..,,,.t!, ~i:&~::2:Z:~:;::~ tlm~~~f~;~m ~ $?

Spoil and topsoil would be windrowed separated along the nonworking side of the trench. (If approved in writing by the authorized officer MGR will use a brush hog to cut down vegetation. such as sage brush within as much of the ROW as is needed. no topsoil will be bladed to the side of the ROW. Except in cases where vegetation is too dense to be removed or in the interest of providing a safe working area.) A wheel trencher will be used to dig a trench to an average depth of 48 inches¡ stacking the dirt beside the ditch. After the pipe is placed in the ditch a motor grader or caterpillar will be used to push the dirt back into the trench. The fill on the trench will then be tamped into place with the grader wheels¡ leaving a berm of four inches to accommodate settling. Disturbance of the top soil within the ROW will be kept to a minimum. In areas of excessively steep hillsides or to provide a smooth approach to a cut or gully¡ as well as at stream bank crossings and at established work stations¡some blading may be required to provide a safe and suitable working area for the equipment and workers. When this occurs the top six inches of soil will be stock piled on the side of the ROWand spread back over the area from which it was taken¡ after the final grading. Before seeding any disturbed areas (if applicable), the ROW will be restored to its original form, slope, contour, and soil density to the extent practicable.

Western Gas Resources, Inc. will not conduct hydrostatic testing on the pipeline, it's Western Gas Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries policy not to conduct hydrostatic testing on pipelines less than 26,400 feet in length therefore no water will not be used to test this pipeline. IV OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The pipeline will be routinely patrolled and inspected by foot or by vehicle to check for problems such as erosion, ROW condition, unauthorized encroachment on the ROWand any other situations that could cause a safety hazard or require preventive maintenance. If damage shall occur to the pipe from external sources, repair or repJacement of the portion of the pipeline may be necessary.
