The footprint of the primary uses proposed under this application will be approximately 10 acres within the entire parcel size of approximately 70 acres(see plat). The surrounding properties are limited to agricultural operations and rural residence. The receiving and storage of sunflowers is seasonal and comparable to any similar grain operation or harvest 5. Describe. in detail. the following: a.Number of people who will use this site. Applicant anticipates receiving loads of sunflowers from approximately 30-40 farmers who would deliver in farm trucks and semi-tractor trailers during the harvest period of approximately October 15 through December 1. 6-10 loads per day would be anticipated during this time. Sunflowers would be shipped out via truck over the following six months or so as processors can receive them. b.Number of employees proposed to be employed at this site There are 2 permanent and 3 seasonal employees employees of the company. This facility will be initially manned by one employee during the seasonal times of sunflower receiving and occasionally during shipping.

Future storage would be utilized for storage of planting seed, small equipment and tractors for the ongoing operation of the site. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal The site will be minimally disturbed for required construction. There are no plans for outside equipment storage or other facility or equipment requiring screening. The appearance of the facility will be much like a typical on-farm grain storage and handling facility. The portions of the primary 10 acre site that are not utilized for structures or roads and driveways will be seeded to a native grass mix that will provide ground cover and reduce potential erosion. The remainder of the parcel will continue to be farmed as it is now. No other landscaping is planned or proposed. No formal plan is attached. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. No reclamation of the site is planned or anticipated, since should the commercial operation ever cease, the facility is basically a large on-farm grain storage and handling facility typical to the area. 8. )ynlain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. The site is essentially flat farmland with very minor slope. Applicant plans to construct a water quality feature consisting of a no-build depression in the northeastern corner of the activity site to capture any excess runoff from storm occurrences. A site drainage plan and letter are attached as part of this application. 9. Exolain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled Construction of the first 2 grain storage bins and grain leg is planned immediately and plans are to have that part completed prior to the commencement of sunflower harvest around October 15. The construction of additional bins, office, and storage buildings will occur over a period of 3-5 years or sooner, as demand for the use of the facility dictates. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. No excessive production of waste is anticipated for this facility beyond the typical minor needs for trash disposal for the future office and storage buildings. Applicant will contract with a trash hauling service for this purpose. f23 ")(4:\,, Weld County Public Works Dept. - 1111HStreet ACCESS PERMIT ,o 'r co P.O.

Background The site is located in the SW1/4 of Section 27, Township 1 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M.,Weld County, Colorado. The project entails construction of 9 grain storage bins, a 20'x20' foot shed, a 50'x120' shed, a 12'x80' scale, a 60'x60' office, & an ISDS. A gravel mad & parking lot will also be constructed. The site will be 10.34 acres. This site is part of Parcel No. 147727000009 which has an overall size of 72.617 ± acres. The site is not located within a FEMA designated floodplain. Refer to the USR Maps for more information. The site slopes generally from South to North at approximately 0.75%. Offsite runoff from the South is impounded by WCR 4 and directed east of the site before overtopping the road and continuing northeast. At the North property line is the Prospect Lateral, which accepts runoff from the site. Storm Water Oualitv An on-site storm water depression is proposed to treat storm water runoff from the site. Attached are supporting calculations for sizing of the required storm water quality capture volume. The WQCV is calculated as a function of imperviousness and BMP drain time using the equation: WQCV=a(0.91/3-1.19/2+ 0.78/) WQCV=Water Quality Capture Volume(watershed inches) a=Coefficient corresponding to WQCV drain time I=Imperviousness Watershed inches are then converted to acre-ft by multiplying by the project area and dividing by 12.The imperviousness of the site will be 0.12. The required storage is 0.067 acre-feet or 2928 cubic feet. The storm water depression area will be located to the northeast of the proposed site construction and will be 2 feet deep. A swale will be constructed along both the North&East edge to direct water flow toward the storm water depression(see the USR Maps for more information). Pagel 2 Conclusion The proposed Prospect Valley Grain LLC site will not have any impacts on existing drainage patterns or adversely affect downstream properties or structures.
