onto the adjacent County road. If tracking occurs in the future, as determined by the County, the
property owner will construct a double cattle guard set (one right after the other), placed back to
back across the entire width of the roadway, to ensure a complete revolution of the truck tires in
order to minimize the tracking of mud and debris onto the adjacent County road. Granting of any
new point of access may generate additional obligations with County for Off-Site Improvements
and the need to post additional "Road Maintenance Collateral". County access permit is needed
for every access to a County road.

locates, present and future right-of-way clearances and permits; coordination with oil and gas
operators and facilities, and affected irrigation facilities; traffic control; and project safety during
construction. Property Owner shall obey all applicable regulations issued by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (hereinafter "OSHA"), Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment, (hereinafter "CDPHE") and other Federal, State or County regulatory
agencies.
3.0 Engineering Design and Construction Plans: For Off-Site Improvements as set-
forth in Section A. 1-2 above, all engineering designs and construction plans must be provided
by Property Owner. These Plans, when reviewed and accepted by the Weld County Engineer,
shall be a part of the Plans, which are a part of this Agreement. All plans showing work within
the County shall be reviewed and accepted by Weld County, prior to the start of construction.
For all construction in the County right-of-way, prior to the issuance of any access permit or
right-of-way permit, a construction schedule giving times and locations of all proposed
improvements shall be provided to Public Works for review and acceptance.
4.0 Construction Standards: All construction and materials controls for a project and
-.ny designated improvements shall conform to the requirements in effect as the time of the
completion of the improvements set forth in the "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction" provided by CDOT. 3901282 Pages: 4 of 26

Devices".
6.0 Off-Site Dust Control/Abatement and/or Paving (If Applicable): The Property
Owner is required to provide dust abatement along affected Haul Route Roads as determined by
the County. The amount and extent of dust control will be determined by site-specific conditions

spray impacted roadways on an as-needed basis, as determined by County personnel.
7.0 Future Improvements: Future improvements to the haul route(s) may be required
by County. Property Owner shall address all County access issues associated with afore-
mentioned haul route. Future County mandated measures may include improvements to any haul
route intersections or roadways then utilized by Property Owner. Future improvements will be
subject to any Federal, State or County regulations in place at the time the improvement project
is initiated. Haul Route improvements may be triggered due to heavy truck traffic associated
with the facility. The following Vehicle Per Day (VPD) or Vehicle Per Hour(VPH) Triggers will
be utilized:

future responsibilities or obligations relative to these improvements.
B. Haul Routes:
1.0 Established Haul Routes:
1.1 Exiting or entering the site: Haul trucks shall enter or exit the site at the
approved accesses onto CR 136. Haul trucks will travel:

dispersal east or west
1.1.2 CR 136 to CR 134 east to CR 135 to CR 132 to Hwy 71 for
further dispersal north or south
1.1.3 or on other Haul Routes including any gravel County roads
used by trucks utilizing proposed USR12-0044 facilities on
a routine basis, as determined solely by County personnel.
1.2 No haul truck may exceed CDOT required specifications for pounds per
axle.
1.3 In unusual or rare occasions, if particular projects mandate deviation from
the above-mentioned haul route for a limited period of time (which is
defined in this Agreement as a period of not more than thirty days), which
shall be established by County at the time that the deviation is allowed. If
County approves such deviation, trucks will utilize paved county roads
whenever possible. A deviation from the established Haul route lasting
more than thirty (30) days or requests for two or more deviations within a
twelve month period shall be subject to the terms of Paragraph 4.0 of this
Section B. In the event that haul truck traffic, in excess of 1.5% of the daily
facility truck trips, utilizes alternate haul routes, the provisions of
Paragraph 4.0 of this Section B shall be triggered.
3.0 No Deviation from Permitted Haul Routes: Except under the provisions provided
in Section B.1.3, no deviation in the use of any roads other than those specifically authorized for
use in this Agreement is permitted without the prior written amendment of this Agreement.
4.0 Effect of Future Changes to Haul Routes: In th.e event that County is requested
by Property Owner or site operator to approve the use of an additional access, new haul route, or
an alternative haul route as a result of a change in Property Owner's site activities and/or truck
circulation patterns, and if the alternative or additional access or haul route utilizes any unpaved
portion of County roads, and if County determines that dust control or paving is required on the
unpaved portion of said haul route roads, Property Owner agrees that dust control or paving
measures to protect the public health, safety, and welfare shall be instituted. County will
determine the proportionate share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property
Owner based upon then current truck trip counts that identify traffic loading due to Property

Owner-sourced traffic. The amount and extent of dust control and/or paving measures will be
determined by site-specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County
personnel.
C. Road Maintenance Requirements:
1.0 Obligation to Maintain Current and Future Haul Routes: Property Owner will be
financially responsible for the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or
future haul route roads, which in the sole opinion of County has been created by hauling to and
from the Property. Should Property Owner's site activities and/or should Property Owner's truck
circulation patterns change in the future so that County approves an alternate haul route, and all
or a significant portion of Property Owner's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the above-
described haul route and instead utilizes other portions of County roads, Property Owner shall
cooperate with County in maintenance of said roads which are included within the new haul
route. The type and method of repair will be determined by the County Engineer or his
representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification by the County for any
roadway damage that exposes the driving public to adverse or unsafe driving conditions. All
other repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's written notice.
Need for Immediate Repairs: In the event of damage to an Approved Haul Route
by Project traffic that causes an immediate threat to public health and
safety or renders the road impassible ("Significant Damage"), County
shall, after inspection, notify Applicant of such Significant Damage.
Applicant shall identify the repair required and shall consult with County
on the extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary
versus permanent) within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such
notice and shall commence such repair within forty-eight (48) hours after
receipt of such notice. If such repair is not commenced within such forty-
eight (48) hour period, County shall have the right to draw on the Road
Maintenance Collateral and use such funds to perform such repair. If
Applicant identifies Significant Damage prior to receiving notice thereof
from County, Applicant may commence repair of such Significant
Damage and shall concurrently notify County of the extent, type, timing,
materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary versus permanent).
Repair of Road: On or before December 31 of the calendar year in which County
staff has determined through site analysis and/or pavement testing that a
particular haul route road portion will require paving measures in order to
protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and has budgeted sufficient
funds for the following calendar year to pay its share of the Off-Site
Improvement/Repair Costs, County shall notify Property Owner in writing
that the Off-Site Improvements/Repairs shall be undertaken. Within ninety
(90) days of its receipt of County's notice of the need to undertake the
road maintenance repairs and/or improvements, Property Owner shall
submit Off-Site Construction Plans and Cost Estimates to County for
review. Property Owner shall have sole responsibility for the completion
of the repairs and/or improvements on or before December 15 of the year

following County's notice of the need for repairs.
In County's sole discretion, County may undertake the repairs and/or
improvements. Property Owner's payment for its Proportionate Share of
the road repairs/improvements will be calculated as determined in
Sections A.6.0 or A.7.0 of this Agreement, and in a manner consistent
with Section C.3.0 of this Agreement.
2.0 Annual Road Inspection: County will conduct a road inspection annually with the
cooperation of Property Owner and all other Property Owners and/or Lessees who are required
by County to participate in road improvement/maintenance agreements. As a result of the annual
inspection, County, in its sole discretion, shall determine actual conditions and shall further
determine what road repair/improvement/maintenance work its to be performed during that
construction season. Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway repairs will be
given as soon as the data becomes available.
3.0 Future Road Replacement: At any time in the future, if, in the opinion of County,
road damage increases beyond the point that repair of damage cannot maintain the road in a safe
and usable condition, Property Owner shall pay a proportionate cost of a complete restoration
based on the number of Truck Trip ESAL Counts using then current data of truck trips entering
or exiting Property Owners' site onto the haul route in the implementation of the above-
mentioned improvements. Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway
replacements will be given as soon as the data becomes available and typically takes place before
the end of the year prior to the start of the replacement project, as described in Paragraph C.1
above.
4.0 Sharing of Road Maintenance Responsibilities with Other Property Owners: It is
anticipated that Property Owner and other Property Owners and/or Lessees subject to agreements
similar to this Agreement will perform the required road maintenance work and will share in the
equipment, labor, and materials required. Any such sharing arrangement between Property
Owner, and other Property Owners and/or Lessees shall be conducted pursuant to separate
agreements between the Property Owner and other Property Owners and/or Lessees. County
shall approve the Agreements only to determine whether the required
improvements/maintenance projects have been adequately addressed. County alone shall
determine the sufficiency of all road improvement/maintenance projects when completed.
5.0 Violation of Terms of Agreement: If Property Owner does not perform as
outlined in this Agreement and Exhibits A and B such non-performance will constitute a
violation of Property Owner's land use permits granted by County, and County will take
whatever remedial measures it deems necessary, against Property Owner. In addition to any
other remedy available to the County in law or equity, a failure to comply with this Agreement
shall be considered grounds for setting a probable cause hearing according to the procedures
described in Section 2-4-40 of Weld County Code. Revocation of USR12-0044 as it now exists
or may, from time to time, be amended is a remedy which County may impose.
