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.
CR 49 is an arterial road, which requires a 140 -foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 80 -
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. The
applicant shall delineate an additional 30 -foot of right-of-way parallel to the WCR 49 right-of-way for full

Re: Case No. USR13-0033, Class 11 Oilfield Waste Disposal Facility, Saltwater Injection Facility, Kerr-
McGee Oil and Gas Onshore, LP (an Anadarko Co.)
Dear Kim,
The Planning Commission of the Town of Hudson met on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 to discuss the referral of the
above referenced project. The referral was received on June I 0`". An ongoing concern of the Town is the impact of
traffic accessing the burgeoning oil and gas activity inour community. The southern access route to the facility
travels along CR 49 from the 1-76 interchange to the site. The one mile portion of that road between 1-76 and CR 18
is a Town street within the Hudson municipal limits.
This section of CR 49 has been identified as "Commercial Streets" in the Town's Overweight Vehicle Ordinance.
Therefore, we request that the applicant inform theirconstruction and operations contractors to contact the Town of
Hudson to determine whether any vehicles involved in the project would require anOverweight Vehicle Permit.
The 40 acre parcel within which this proposed facility is located is bounded on two sides by the Town boundaries. It
is located on the only public access to our wastewater treatment facility.
Our Planning Commission also has a concern with the effect of oil field wastes injected into the ground in and
around the community. The application contained little information about the injection wells themselves. The
Commission requested that the applicant provide us with a presentation of the process and effectsof the process at
our next Planning Commission meeting, scheduled for July 10"', 7:00 PM at I Iudson Town Hall. Also, please advise
as to the state and/or federal agencies that regulate such injection facilities.
We arc pleased to hear that the County will be requiring that accel/decel and left turn lanes be added to CR49 to
serve this site. The speed of the traffic and the poor sight distance at this location make these improvements a very
positive addition to the roadway. Please provide the Town with a drawing of the proposed improvements.
Thank you for considering our concerns. Please contact me for clarification of our comments if necessary.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Racine
Town Administrator
