displayed a site map and photographs of the site and surrounding area, and responded to
questions from the Board regarding the comments from the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer requested Development Standard #12 be modified to state, "The
operation shall comply with all applicable rules, policies, and regulations of the Colorado Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission."
El Heidi Hansen, Department of Public Works, reviewed the roadway classification, average
daily traffic count, and the proposed site improvements. She stated the access permit has been
approved, and the applicant will be required to submit a Final Drainage Report and Grading
Permit.
EI Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and
sewer provisions for the property and on-site dust mitigation plans. She requested Condition of
Approval #1.D be deleted, stated Condition #1.C addresses the APEN requirement, and
Development Standards #5 through #19 are typical requirements for this type of facility.
Mr. Gathman addressed the Board's previous question and indicated the applicant completed a
follow-up report and the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District approved the permit with comments.
El Vince Harris, Baseline Corporation, represented the applicant and introduced Rick
Benning, Baseline Greeley Office Manager, and Jay Allen, Anadarko representative. He
reviewed the proposed operations, displayed a photograph of a similar site in Utah, reviewed
various slides from the PowerPoint presentation, marked Exhibit C, and provided an overview of
the site layout. He also confirmed the comments and requirements of the Fort Lupton Fire
Protection District have been satisfied.
EI Jay Allen, Anadarko Petroleum, explained the facility is intended to provide additional
processing capacity, which is very necessary for the company to meet the increased production
demands created through the drilling program. He stated they have made a very large financial
commitment, in the amount of more than $100 million, for Phase 1, which they plan to have
operational by January, 2014. He responded to questions from the Board on the anticipated
processing capacity and the timing for Phase 2, and explained they will be closing the far west
access to gain approval from the Department of Public Works for the requested primary access.
El No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In response to Chair Conway,
Mr. Allen stated the applicant has no concerns with the Conditions of Approval or Development
Standards, as proposed. Following discussion, the Board agreed to consolidate the language in
Conditions #1.A.10 and #1.A.11 to state, "Setbacks from oil and gas wells and wellheads." In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Allen reviewed the screening of the tower and stated
the applicant is in agreement with staffs requirements. The Board also agreed to delete
Conditions of Approval #1.A.13 regarding screening and #1.D, as recommended by staff.
E Commissioner Long moved to approve the request of Kerr-McGee Gathering, LLC, for a
Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR12-0023, for any Use
Permitted as a Use by Right, Accessory Use, or Use by Special Review in the Commercial or
Industrial Zone Districts (control room, carbon beds, amine units, utility buildings, PDC

buildings, dehydration units, cryogenic units, refrigeration units, residue compressors, vessels,
tanks, towers, and flare stacks), provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or
recorded subdivision plat or part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations
controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone, based on the recommendations of Planning
staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards as entered into the record. His motion included consolidating the language in
Conditions #1.A.10 and #1.A.11 to state, "Setbacks from oil and gas wells and wellheads.",
deleting Conditions of Approval #1.A.13 and #1.D, and modifying Development Standard #12 to
state, "The operation shall comply with all applicable rules, policies, and regulations of the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission." The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Garcia, and it carried unanimously. (Clerk's Note: Condition of Approval #5 was also deleted
for consistency with the Board's intent to eliminate the screening requirement) The Board
expressed its appreciation for the applicant's investment into Weld County and indicated they
are looking forward to the completed project. There being no further discussion, the hearing
was completed at 3:35 p.m.
This Certification was approved on the 23rd day of July, 2012.
