Sheets 1,2 and 3, General Facilities for a location of the facility and pipeline. The borehole will be
permitted with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The borehole well
string will consist of approximately 60' of 13 5/B" steel casing. The pipeline will consist of
approximately 7000' of 14" HDPE pipeline. The pipeline will be buried in the road immediately west
of the portal area, but will come to the surface as it turns north and is routed cross-country. Certain
sections of the pipe may need to be buried where needed at road crossings,and as conditions warrant.
The pipeline will terminate at the Elk Creek Generator and Thermal Oxidation Facility. The methane
from the sealed mine will be used in the thermal oxidizer or the electric generator sets to supplement
the gas obtained from the Elk Creek Mine. NFELLC indicates they need a pad with a top dimension
of approximately a 130' x 25' finished pad area no higher than on a 25' high fill and consisting of
approximately 2,000 cy of fill.
S. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Contract SH 133 Bowie Resurfacing Project
Contractor Office and Staging area. During 2018, CDOT will be having Highway 133 resurfaced in
the Somerset, CO area. The Construction Contractor, United Companies,will lease the area south of
the Elk Creek Mine Bath House for the purpose of staging trailers, construction equipment,workers,
and materials in conjunction with the construction project. The primary items to be staged at the site
are: one 12 foot by 32 foot mobile office trailer, one 12 foot by 60 foot mobile office trailer, two each
portable toilets and one mobile dumpster. The mobile trailers are connected to electricity only, no
water or other utilities. United Companies shall return the property to its present condition at the end
of the lease. The construction is expected to be completed by September 30, 2018. ALL
EQUIPMENT WAS REMOVED BY OCTOBER 2018.
T. Gunnison Energy LLC. (GELLC) proposes to conduct a 3-D seismic program on portions of the
surface of the Elk Creek Mine Permit. The earliest proposed action is expected to begin no earlier
than spring of 2019, during dry conditions. Mobilization of drilling or any heavy equipment will begin
on July 1, 2019 on Federal land, and done in consultation with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPV) on
private land,if any work begins before July 1It.
The 3-D seismic program will be conducted in three phases. The first phase (seismic surveying) will
include land surveying of source and receiver locations along with access in support of cultural
resource surveys on USFS lands, which will be conducted concurrently with the seismic land
surveying. The second phase is shot drilling. The final phase will be the recording phase and will
include the placement of source and receiver lines, continued shot hole drilling, data acquisition, and
cleanup. The project includes the possible use of vibroseis buggies along roads and other locations
where appropriate and shot holes (buggy drilled and heliportable as appropriate) as the energy source.
Shot holes are 3 inch diameter, drilled 20 to 60 feet deep and are loaded with 2 to 5 pounds of
explosive. The seismic program Is anticipated to last approximately 40-60 days. Vehicles bringing
surveyors to and from the project area will remain on existing roads and trails. Crews will travel cross
country on all-terrain vehicles and on foot during the survey. There will be no surface disturbance
within the permit boundary associated with this project.
