SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:

Saddle Butte Pipeline is proposing to install a 10 inch crude oil pipeline that crosses Town right-of-way on Weld County Road 6 and Weld County Road 7 that connects to the Crestone Peak Resources Hub Facility.  The Encroachment Licenses will grant Saddle Butte Pipeline the right to use the Town’s right-of-way for these pipelines and allows the Town to terminate the agreement at any time with a 90 day notice.   

 

Staff has also recently revised the Encroachment Agreement to include three new requirements on the license holder including:

1.                     License holder must provide Record or As-Built Drawings of the encroachments after the pipelines are constructed.

2.                     License holder must place physical markers where any pipelines enter or exit Town property or right-of-way.

3.                     License holder must provide the Town a map showing the entire extents of the pipeline through Town limits, regardless of if it is on Town property or right-of-way.

 

Staff is recommending approving the resolution and authorizing the Mayor to sign the Encroachment License Agreements.
