ZS-343-95-RIFLE/AVON GAS PIPELINE
Patti Haefeli, Planning Technician, presented file ZS-343-95-Rifle/Avon
Gas Pipeline. She stated the two remaining concerns are as follows:
01) The crossing of the B & B site in Edwards may pose some safety
issues.
02) The Edwards Exchange Point is to have an emergeney plan in
place in case of a disaster. The applicant should get together with the
County Emergeney Response Team to provide educational information to
residents of the area. This has not taken place as of this date.
Kevin Lindahl, representing Rocky Mountain Natural Gas, introduced Mike
Bukovansky, to speak regarding the B&B site and is prepared to address those
concerns.
Mr. Bukovansky spoke of the two geography hazards being the sink holes
and the slope stability and continued to explain the geological aspects. He
believes in this particular place the gravel cover provided by B & B's gravel
pit the ground is actually more stable. He spoke of the newly developed sink
holes in the area but indicated the Highway 6 area is not being effected. He
indicated there has been no known breakage of pipelines due to sink holes
based on the type of materials used in the pipelines. Mr. Bukovansky spoke
to the concern of slope stability and related he knows of no landslides in
the B & B area and feels the danger of a landslide is non-existent at this
time. He referred to the slope deformation, sagging of the crest which
happened in the past. He attributed the sagging to existing ground water
coming from the old irrigation ditch. He spoke to increased stresses and
related if the pipe is excavated it will immediately relieve the stress and
be back filled accordingly.

hearing.

information they received from Rocky Mountain Natural Gas.

period to May 30, 1995.

long as the applicant is not revamping the original plan.
