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.
Description of Integrity Management Program
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.

Description of Abandonment Verification:
The (12321397_FL) flowline servicing the Geist 21-32 (05-123-21397) was originally planned for partial abandon in
place (detailed in Pre-AB Form 44 Doc # 404333110); however, the Field was able to safely remove the flowline in
its entirety. 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 abandoned Off-Location Flowline was located within the jurisdiction(s) of the following local government(s).

The (12320356_FL) flowline serving the Geist 12-32 (05-123-20356) was originally planned for removal (detailed in
Pre-AB Form 44 Doc # 404333110); however, per ECMC Rules 1105.d.(2) D & G, a segment of the flowline was
abandoned in place to prevent damage to natural resources; specifically a nearby reservoir. Where the flowline
segment was removed, the trench was backfilled and the land surface graded. See attached third party verification,
pressure test, and flowline path exhibit.
The abandoned Off-Location Flowline was located within the jurisdiction(s) of the following local government(s).
