PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The buried 6 inch steel pipeline will head in a easterly direction from Cow Hollow 210-35
well, located in the SWNW quarter of Section 35, Township 23 North, Range 112 West to a
pipeline (WYW 151111) in the SWNW quarter of Section 35, Township 23 North, Range 112
West, Lincoln County, Wyoming.
The total length of the ROW is approximately 453 feet, of which 453 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, O.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 °F and 60 °F.
Associated facilities include valving and metering.
All permanent above ground facilities, piping, and valving will be a fiat, non-contrasting color
harmonious with the surrounding landscape. Present warehouse stockcolors comprise of
either Carlsbad Canyon (2.5Y 6/2) or Desert Brown (10 YR 6/3).
RECONNAISSANCE AND LOCATION
Reconnaissance reveals that 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
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.
DESIGN
III
The design, construction, engineering, maintenance and inspection of the proposed
pipeline will be directed ~ MGR personnel.
V. CONSTRUCTION
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 prodJcts, 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 conditions 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 conditions.
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 condil~ons.
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.
0547
A minimum of the top six inches of soil, more or less if the BLM deems necessary,
will be stock piled on the side of the ROW and spread back over the area from which
it was taken, after the final grading. 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 h0q 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 ROW and spread back over the area from which it
w. as 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.
The construction force is expected to number approximately six to eight persons at
the peak of construction. No temporary work camps are proposed.
The following is a list of construction equipment proposed on the pipeline project:
a. 1 Welding Truck
b. 1 Tractor Trailer
c. 1 Two Ton Truck
d. 4 Pickup Trucks
e. 1 Seed Driller and Tractor (if applicable)
f. 1 Backhoe
g. 1 Trackhoe
h. 1 Side Boom Caterpillar
i. 1 Trencher
After pipeline construction is completed, pipeline markers will be installed at specified
intervals for identifying He pipe's IocalJon.
No toxic substances are proposed for use in connection with the construction
project; however if toxic substances are required, usage shall conform with
provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as amended (40 CFR Part
702-799). Any release of toxic substances (leaks, spills, etc.) in excess of the
reportable quantity as established by 40 CFR Part 117.3 shall be reported as required
by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act,
Section 102 B. A copy of any requested report required by any Federal or State
agency ora reportable release or spill of any hazardous material shall be furnished to
the authoriZed officer within 5 working days of the occurrence of the spill or release.
The holder(s) shall comply with all applicable Federal laws and regulations existing or
hereafter enacted or promulgated. In any event, the holder(s).shall comply with the
Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as amended (15 U.S.C. 2601, e.t seq.) with
regard to any toxic substances that are used, generated by or stored on the ROW or
on facilities authorized under this ROW grant.(See 40 CFR, Part 702-799 and
especially, provisions on polychlorinated biphenyls, 40 CFR 761.1-761.i93.)
Additionally, any release of toxic substances (leaks, spills, etc.) in excess of the
reportable quantity established by 40 CFR, Part 117 shall be reported as required by
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, Section 102b. A copy of any report required or requested by any Federal
agency or State government as a result ora reportable release or spill of any toxic
substances shall be furnished to the authorized officer concurrent with the filing of
the reports to the involved Federal agency or Stat~ government.
The holder of ROW No. agrees to indemnify the United States against any
liability arising from the release of any hazardous substance or hazardous waste (as
these terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq. or the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C.6901 et seq.) on the ROW (unless
the release or threatened release is wholly unrelated to the ROW holder's activity on
the ROW. This agreement applied without regard to whether a release is caused by
the holder, its agent, or unrelated third parties.
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
ROW and 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
replacement of the portion of the pipeline may be necessary. Detailed line break and
emergency procedures are used as routine operational procedJres of MGR.
The holder shall conduct all activities associated with the construction, operation,
and termination of the ROW within the authorized limits of the ROW.
VII STABILIZATION AND ABANDONMENT
Following the completion of the pipeline, the ROW traversed by the pipeline
construction will be restored in accordance with the landowner's requirement, or
those agencies having jurisdiction. All disturbed areas will be re-contoured so that
the disturbed area blends into the surrounding terrain. Appropriate measures'will be
taken to prevent erosion through the use of construction diversion terraces, rip-rap,
matting, and water bars.
All disturbed areas along the pipeline corridor will be reseeded.to the landowner's or
regulatory agency's specifications. Seed w'ill be planted using a drill and in areas not
suitable for drilling, the seed will be broadcasted and raked or chained to cover the
seed. The application rate and seed mixture will comply to the landowner's or
regulatory agency's specifications.
