accommodate this type of use.
TRAFFIC STUDY:

traffic study and visiting the project site I have prepared the following comments:
C:\Users\kford\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.lE5\073BN12H\USR12-0077[2].docx
1. Please submit a revised copy of the Traffic Study that is signed, stamped, and dated by a registered
professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado.
2. The applicant is proposing approximately 320 round trips per day to the facility.
3. Public Works staff has identified the haul route for this facility to travel 2 miles north on WCR 95 to
WCR 122 traveling 3 miles west to the paved portion of WCR 122. Additional routes or modification to
the haul route will be determined within the Improvements Agreement.
4. An annual road inspection will be performed in the spring to establish the condition of the haul route
and surrounding roadways to determine if any road damage was caused by the operation of the loading
facility.
5. The applicant will be responsible excavate, repair, or patch any damage on the roadways to mitigate for
heavy truck traffic volumes created by the loading facility. The type and method of repair will be
determined by the Department Public Works.
6. If road damage is beyond repair, the applicant will pay their proportional share for the reconstruction to
restore the road.
7. Roadways Improvements may be triggered due to heavy truck traffic associated with the facility:
a. Full Depth Mag-Chloride will be required when the traffic volumes reach 200 vpd.
b. CTB (Concrete Treated Base) with a Chip Seal or RAP is required when the traffic volumes
reach 300 vpd.
c. Pavement is required when the traffic volumes reach 500 vpd.
8. Turn lanes will be triggered once traffic volumes meet the following warrants:
a. 25vph turning right into the facility during a peak hour.
b. 10vph turning left into the facility during a peak hour.
c. 50vph turning right out of the facility during a peak hour.
9. A stop sign will be required to be installed at the facility access onto WCR 95.
10. The access will have 60' radius to accommodate the larger trucks entering and existing the site.
11. No parking or staging of commercial vehicles on the county road is allowed. Use on -site parking area.
12. Show the approved access on the plat and label it with the approved access permit number (AP11-
00268).
PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE:
The applicant has provided a Phase II Drainage Amendment memo and plan for the Pawnee Water
Management and Groundwater Loadout & Recycling Facility. The preliminary drainage report from Patrick
Engineering, dated November, 2012, was not signed, stamped, and dated by a registered professional
engineer licensed in the State of Colorado. Please provide a copy of the memo that has been wet stamped,
signed, and dated by a registered professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado.
The water quality calculations use a 24 -hour drain time for the pond. In order to correctly size the water quality
feature, the calculations have to be based on a 40 -hour drain time. Additionally, the outlet on the water quality
feature has to be sized in accordance with the accepted methodologies outlined in the drainage criteria
manual. The easiest way to size the water quality feature is to utilize the UD-Detention spreadsheet.
Please add the following development standards to the plat:
1. The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that it will
reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the type
generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or unplanned
ponding of storm run-off.
2. The applicant must take into consideration storm water capture/quantity and provide accordingly for
best management practices.
3. Weld County shall not be responsible for the maintenance of on -site drainage related areas or medians.
Grading Permit: Prior to recording of the final plat, the applicant needs to submit a grading permit showing:
proposed grading, erosion control placement, typical details for all BMPs to be utilized, and a Construction
Stormwater permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The permit must be wet
stamped by a registered professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado.

Kim,
The one thing that I notice on most of the referrals lately is that they show the
traffic around the site, but they don't really show where it goes. It seems like most
of the stuff up north would eventually end up coming to SH 14 or SH 392, and
sometimes US 85. But I never know. And without that information, I can't really
comment about the traffic impacts.

W2NW4 Section 13, T10N, R61W of the 6th P.M.
Water Division 8, Water Districts 1 and 64
Dear Ms. Ogle:
This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-
101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to
county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information
and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply
plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or
requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable
water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
According to the submitted information, the applicant is proposing to amend the existing
(Phase 1) groundwater load out facility to allow for a commercial water recycling facility (Phase II).
The facility would support oil and gas companies by supplying and recycling water used in their
drilling operations and have the ability to supply groundwater for municipal, industrial, and irrigation
uses.
According to our records, the site is serviced by existing well permit nos. 76773-F (replacing
74874-F) in the Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer and 76769-F (replacing 74877-F) in the Upper Laramie
aquifer. These existing permits are approved for industrial, irrigation, commercial, livestock, fish
rearing, recreation and pond filling on 5,054.46 acres generally described as the E1/2 of Section
11, all of Section 13, the NE1/4 and S1/2 of Section 14, the NE1/4 of Section 23, the N1/2, N1/2 of
S1/2 of Section 24, All in Township 10 North, Range 61 West of the 6th P.M. The E1/2 of W1/2,
SE1/4, and S1/2 of NE1/4 of Section 17, the W1/2 of Section 18, All of Section 19 except the
SW1/4 of SW1/4, All of Section 20, the NW1/4 of Section 28, the N1/2 and SW1/4 of Section 29,
the NE1/4, S1/2 of NW1/4, NE1/4 of NW1/2, and S1/2 of SE1/4 of Section 30, All in Township 10
North, Range 60 West of the 6th P.M.; and additionally in all of Weld, Adams, Larimer, Morgan,
Washington, Boulder, Logan and Denver Counties for industrial and commercial uses via truck
hauling.

Industrial and commercial ground water uses on the property (including recycling of water
for industrial and commercial uses via truck hauling in the above listed counties) are consistent
with the above permitted uses for the above described location for well permit nos. 76773-F and
76769-F. Municipal is not an approved use. The applicant would need to submit new well permit
applications to this office for municipal and/or any additional place of use. Any future new well
permit applications would be evaluated pursuant to the applicable statutes and rules at the time
they are submitted to this office.
Should you have any questions in this matter, please contact Justina Mickelson of this
