SUBJECT: USR12-0023, Kerr-McGee Gathering, LLC
A Use by Special Review permit for a cryogenic facility for the processing of natural gas
products.
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 an arterial road, which requires a 140-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.
There is 60 feet of unmaintained section line right-of-way along the CR 33 section line (30 feet on either
side of the section line). Please show and label this right of way on the Plat.
• The traffic memo states that there will be up to 56 vehicle trips/day with 4 roundtrip semi-trucks per day as
part of that count. The tracking control stated in the application as 100 feet of pavement plus double cattle
guards is acceptable as are the turning radiuses of 65 feet. Please show and label these items on the
Plat.
An improvements and road maintenance agreement is required for this site. Public Works will provide a
draft of the agreement after the Board of County Commissioners hearing for this project. Items to be
expected in the agreement include, but are not limited to, a proportional share of haul route maintenance
(from the site access to Hwy 85). An example Improvements Agreement is available on the County
Planning website under Application Assistance.
The application proposes two accesses to the site, an existing and a proposed new access. Please
submit access photos at the proposed accesses (looking up and down the roadway and into the site).
Secondary accesses onto an arterial roadway are not normally granted. Please contact Janet Carter,
Traffic Engineer, at 970-304-6496 x3750 to discuss possible options for closing an access in order to
open the new one.
Please show the approved access(es) on the Plat and label with the approved access permit number(will
be provided when the new access is worked out).
The applicant provided a "Sketch Plan Drainage Report" dated March 14, 2012 and signed and stamped
by Mark A Skelskey PE 39396 with Samuel Engineering. This preliminary report is acceptable. Please
submit a Final Drainage Report following the checklist available on the Public Works website prepared by
a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. Additional comments may follow when the
Final Drainage Report has been reviewed.
In the event that 1 or more acres are disturbed during the construction and development of this site, the
• applicant shall obtain a stormwater discharge permit from the Water Quality Control Division of the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Chris,
I cannot approve this USR at this time. I have attached your referral sheet, my comment sheet and I have sent as an
attachment the resolution from Weld County approving our adoption of the 2003 IFC. In this adoption and resolution,
all cryogenic storage is prohibited within the boundaries of the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District unless a special
use/storage permit is issued by the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District Board of Directors. I am asking that we collect
more information from Kerr-McGee/Anadarko and have a formal plan review and when everything is up to par it can be
taken to the Board of Directors and await their review and decision. I will follow up this a mail with a phone call. Thank
you for your time.

Part of Section 14, T2N, R66W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Gathman:
We have reviewed the two above referenced. related proposals. The submitted material
does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in § 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S.
Therefore. pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4. 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums
to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral
information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water
• supply plan for this property or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County
regulations or requirements.
This referral is related to a letter we provided on April 6. 2012 for RECX12-0044 and 45.
This use by special review referral is for a cryogenic facility for processing natural gas on 110
acres. The proposed water source is a well. The proposal did not include water use
requirements. There are several options for a commercial well on the site including a
commercial exempt well, which can be issued for drinking and sanitation purposes only, or a
non-exempt well withdrawing water from a nontributary source. which could be issued for uses
beyond drinking and sanitation.
Based on the submitted information, this office has not identified any concerns with the
proposal. Well permits will be evaluated when they are submitted. If you or the applicant has
any questions in this matter, please contact Tracy Kosloff of this office
Sincerely.
