Description of Corrosion Protection:
Crestone pipelines are covered in a protective external coating. Flowlines are subject to thorough inspections and
fabrication standards during installation to minimize coating and pipe defects. Crestone maintains a chemical program
to reduce internal corrosion. If a flowline is found to lack integrity, Crestone will investigate, report, and remediate any
spills in accordance with the 900 series rules.

Crestone flowlines are pressure tested prior to placing flowlines into service. Flowlines are tested on an annual basis
in accordance with COGCC 1104 series rules. If a flowline is found to lack integrity, Crestone will investigate the root
cause, as well as report and remediate any spills in accordance with the 900 series rules. All repairs will be completed
in accordance with COGCC 1102 Series rules.
Description of the construction method used for public by-ways, road crossings, sensitive wildlife habitats,
sensitive areas, and natural and manmade watercourses (i.e., open trench, bored and cased, or bored only), if
applicable.
The majority of flowlines are not near any known and defined public receptors or road crossings. Those that are,
county permits are acquired prior to construction of county road crossings. Permit conditions contain minimum
construction requirements.
FLOWLINE SYSTEM ABANDONMENT VERIFICATION
Date:04/21/2026
Description of Abandonment Verification:
The following flowlines were removed:
Edith Ann 1-2 Offsite Sales
12320847_FL
12320838_FL
12326561_FL
Geist A Unit 1 Offsite Sales Line
Bellholes were dug on average every 80 feet and the line pulled. Once the flowline was removed, all areas that
needed it were backfilled and the land surface was graded.
The following flowlines were abandoned in place as they are co-located in the same trench as other active lines.
Operations were compliant with Rule 1105.d and verified by a third party:
12337788_FL
12338169_FL
12337785_FL
The following flowlines were originally planned for removal (detailed in Pre AB Doc #:404107101 and 404512119);
however, due to crop, flowlines were abandoned in place in accordance with Rule 1105.d and verified by a third
party.
