III. IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The 6 inch steel surface pipeline will head in a northeasterly direction from Hailstone Unit 12 well, located in the SE quarter of Section 25, Township 2:[ North, Range 113 West to a pipeline (Whisky Buttes 30-30 - WYW-l:[g515 amendment)in the SENW quarter of Section 30, Township :[2:[ North, Range :[12 West, Lincoln County, Wyoming. The total length of the ROW is approximately 3410.8 feet, of which 2014.2 feet are on Federal lands. A 50 foo~ Wide corridor is requested for construction, operational and maintenance purposes. One road crossing located in the E2SE of Section 25, Township 2:[ North, Range 1:[3 West will :be open cut and placed under ground. The pipeline will consist of a 6 inch pipe, O.156 inch wall thickness, Grade X-42 pipe with a maximum operating pressure of approximately 1200 psig. The average operating temperature of the pipelin.~ .is between 50 °F and 60 °F. Associated facilities include valving and metering. All permanent above grourdfacilities, piping, and valving will be a fiat, non-contrasting color harmonious with the surrounding landscape. Present warehouse stockcolors comprise of either Carlsbad Canyon (2 5t' 6/2) or Desert Brown (10 YR 6/3). RECONNAISSANCE AND L()CA.-FION Reconnaissance reveals th.it the route selected was the most practical route in relation 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.. ANCILLARY RIGHTS OF way AND PERMITS i ' MGR will secure all rights of way on adjacent non-federal lands prior to pipeline construction. MGR will notify authorized ROW users of NGR'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 regulatoW agency prior to construction. All equipment and vehicular access into lhe pipeline project will be confined to existing roads and the established ROW corridor, i'qo major reconstruction or rerouting of these roads is intended. DESIGN III The design, construction, engineering, maintenance and Inspection pipeline will be directed IT MGR personnel. CONSTRUCT[ON All design, material, arid'construction, operation, maintenance, and termination practices shall be in accor:dance with safe and proven engineering practices. All equipment and vehi:ular 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 site~,; 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 prodJcts, ashes an(; 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 allcw*_d until soil conditims improve. 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 contir,.gent upon weather conditions. All construction materias Will be hauled to the job by truck, as needed, and strung along the ROW as it arr!ves. Pipe will be strung in such a manner as to cause the least interference with the normal use of ~e land crossed by the ROW. A wheel trencher will be u3ed bury one road crossing located in the E2SE ol= Section 25, Township 21 North, Range 113 West to dig a trench to an average depth of 48 inches, stacking the dir: 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. Disturbance of the top soil within the ROW will be kept to a minimum. The construction force i; .expected to number approximately six to eight persons at the peak of construction. No t~mporaW work camps are proposed. The following is a list ot construction equipment proposed on the pipeline project: a. 1 Welding Truck b. 1 Tractor Trailer c. 1 Two Ton Ti uck d. 4 Pickup Trucks e. 1 Backhoe f. 1 Trackhoe g. 1 Side Boom Z[~terpillar h. 1 Trencher After pipeline construction is completed, pipeline markers will be installed at specified intervals for identifying t.ne pipe's location.
