Re: Pipeline Crossing Agreement between Weld County Public Works and Noble Energy, Inc.
— Ashbaugh Gravel Pit DRMS Permit Number #M- 2005 -060 (Section 15, Township 7
North, Range 59 West)
This letter agreement is intended to address the crossing of a pressurized natural gas pipeline
owned by Noble Energy, Inc, (hereinafter referred to herein as "NEI ") located on private
property located in the NW 1/4, Section 15, Township 7 North, Range 59 West of the 6th P.M.,
Weld County, Colorado (40.57577 degrees North, - 103.97394 degrees West). The property is
owned by Keith and Shirley Ashbaugh (hereinafter referred to herein as "Ashbaughs ") whose
address is 39434 WCR 115 of New Raymer, Colorado 80742. The site is approximately 3 miles
south of Buckingham.
Background and Understanding
1. Weld County Public Works (hereinafter referred to herein as "County ") has operated a
10 -acre sand and gravel pit on the Ashbaugh property for the purpose of obtaining road
materials for use in repair and maintenance of public roads in the area. The Ashbaugh
Site was permitted in 2000 under Colorado Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety
(hereinafter referred to herein as "the DRMS ") permit #2005 -060.
2. Weld County Public Works proposes to increase the permit area, enlarge the gravel pit
mining area, and convert the existing DRMS 110c Reclamation Permit to al 12c Permit.
3. Weld County proposes to access to the eastern side of the proposed permit area by a
single crossing over the NEI pipeline.
4. The NEI pipeline, previously owned and operated by Walsh, had obtained Right of Way
(ROW) for the pipeline by agreement with the Ashbaughs on May 2, 1979.
5. Preliminary investigation indicates the pipeline enters the Ashbaugh property at
approximately the northwest corner of Section 15, T7N, R59W, and leaves Section 15 at
the approximate southeast comer and appears to run NW to SE across the Ashbaugh site.
