October 9, 2012 Project No. 212-011 Mr. Chris Putnam Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. 2717 County Road 215, Suite 100 Parachute, Colorado 81635 Subject: Addendum Letter, Site Suitability, Divide Road Water Facility, Garfield County,

Colorado Dear Mr. Putnam,

Yeh and Associates had previously conducted a Geotechnical Investigation at the proposed Divide Road Water Facility in Garfield County, Colorado. Our report, under our project number 212-011, dated March 7, 2012, was reviewed prior to the issuance of this letter. The major geotechnical considerations for this site are as follows.

Based on exploratory drilling and proposed grading, cuts in hard to very hard sandstone,

occasionally cemented, may be encountered. We believe the sandstone material can be excavated by conventional construction equipment, but may need to be excavated by means of heavy ripping and/or blasting. Site specific geotechnical recommendations are presented in our previous report.

We believe that there are no geotechnical constraints that would preclude construction

at this site. If our geotechnical recommendations are considered in the design and construction, we believe the site is suitable for the proposed facility. If you have questions or need additional information, please call us at 970-384-1500. Sincerely, YEH AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Reviewed By: Keith E. Asay Richard D. Johnson, P.E. Staff Engineer Project Manager
