' from the Greasewood Compressor Station before it enters Collins Gulch. It then progresses south along Collins Gulch (a distance of 3.5 miles), crosses Rio Blanco ' County Road 5 for a second time, and crosses Piceance Creek again. The pipeline corridor then crosses a small ridge into Stewart Gulch (a distance of 1 mile). As it follows the valley bottom, the pipeline corridor crosses Stewart Gulch twice and Middle Fork Stewart Gulch once (over a distance of 1.5 miles). It then crosses an unimproved private road and begins its ascent of Barnes Ridge, ' progressing essentially due south. After traveling along the top of Barnes Ridge (a distance of 7 miles), the pipeline corridor turns east for approximately one-half mile and crosses Dry Fork Stewart Gulch to the next ridge. It then continues southward and crosses into the ' Parachute Creek drainage basin and on to Davis Point (a distance of 8 miles). At Davis Point, the Yankee Gulch Project pipeline corridor diverges from the ' three-party ngl right-of-way and heads down the east slope of Davis Point (a distance of 1 mile). It crosses another unimproved private road and then crosses the Middle Fork Parachute Creek and follows the creek south along the valley ' bottom for approximately 2 miles. The pipeline corridor crosses another unimproved private road near the existing Unocal offices and then crosses the East Fork Parachute Creek before continuing south. It stays east of County Road ' 215 for approximately 3.5 miles before crossing it and continuing its southward progression for another 5 miles, ending at the Parachute Site. ' The Yankee Gulch Project includes approximately 20 miles of pipeline corridor on public land administered by the BLM and approximately 24 miles on private lands. Land ownership is listed by county in Table 1. Approximately 34 miles of ' the 44-mile-long Yankee Gulch Project pipeline corridor parallel existing pipeline corridors.
