Compressor Station
A Use by Special Review permit for a natural gas compressor station.
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls under the Use
by Special Review Standard, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section 23. Staff
comments made during this phase of the Use by Special Review process may not be all-inclusive, as
other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
CR 22 is a local gravel road and requires a 60 -foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60 -
foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the
Weld County Zoning (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line.
An access permit has been approved for three access points to the site (AP13-00073). Discussions with
the applicant indicate the approved access points may not meet the needs of the site. The applicant has
been directed to contact the Traffic Engineer, Janet Carter at 970-304-6496x3726 to discuss changes to
the approved accesses for this project.
The traffic information provided with the submittal states that the site (at build out) will be unmanned and
will be visited by one employee per day in a pickup truck for a length of 2 hours. During construction,
there will be 30-40 personnel with large vehicles, cranes, concrete trucks, etc...
Access improvements are required and shall include 60ft radii to accommodate turning trucks and double
cattle guards across the accesses to prevent the tracking of mud onto the County maintained gravel
roadway.
A right of way permit is required for any work within the County right of way. A special transport permit is
required for over length, width, height, or weight vehicles. Contact Permitting/Inspection agent, Amy
Joseph at (970) 304-6496, ext. 3764.
A water quality design was submitted. An approved water quality design is required. Adjustments to the
design are required to meet state water law. Please contact Public Works Development Review Engineer
with questions at 970-304-6496. Label the water quality feature on the plat as "Water Quality Feature, No
Build/Storage Area" and label the required volume.
An Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this project. It will
detail the approved haul route(s), any onsite and offsite requirements, and a maintenance agreement for
the haul routes. Road maintenance after construction is not required for this site due to the minimal traffic
stated in the application (1 pickup truck/day).
This area IS NOT in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
