The facility is proposed to be used for storage of up to 10-20,000 gallon water tanks. A total of 70 round trip truck tanker loads per day would occur. The employees accessing the site will be the drivers and a supervisor occasionally. There is one industrial well permit approved for truck water hauling (Well Permit 12873-FP). There is a second well (Permit 13379-FP) that is permitted for irrigation and will not be used to service the water loading dock. Permanent drinking water and sewage disposal facilities are required for employees • accessing the site. An engineered designed septic system is required. The applicant is proposing to use portable toilets in lieu of providing permanent water and sewage disposal for drinking and sanitary purposes.

As the business is conducted year round, the use of portable toilets is not allowed as the facility is not a seasonal use. • • The applicant submitted a dust abatement plan and was found to be adequate. Access drive will be covered in gravel. On-site speed will be controlled to less than 10 mph and speed limit signs will be posted. Water will be applied to mitigate dust when necessary.

Comments: In an effort to stay consistent in our comments on the referrals we have received in the past few months,we are continuing to state our concerns regarding the water supply in our area. Based on the monitoring we have done over the last year and one half, our water table has not yet been affected by the water facilities already in operation, but if other larger facilities come in,we do not know what effect that will have. We are also concerned about the impact traffic is having on WCR 390. We do realize however,that this is hard to gage and depends on the demand for water at any given time, and how many facilities are operating and using this road. • Signature Deborah Duggan, Town Clerk Date 11/23/11 Agency Town of Grover Weld County Planning Dept. 1555 N 17th Ave,Greeley,CO.80631 (970)353-6100 ext.3540 (970)304-6498 fax 70 COtO9 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES • /Ne" g DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES * * John W.Hickenlooper 18 76 41 Governor Mike King Executive Director Dick Wolfe,P.E. Director/State Engineer October 13, 2011 Tom Parko Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17th Ave. Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Everitt Kenneth H., SUBX11-0005 Part SE4 of Section 10, T10N, R61W, 6th P.M. Water Division 8, Water District 1 Dear Mr. Parko: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28- 101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply • plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. According to the submitted information, the proposal is to divide off a 2.71-acre lot from the existing 160-acre parcel for a"Water Loading Dock"with groundwater storage tanks. The proposed oil and gas support and service facility on the proposed 2.71-acre lot would supply groundwater to oil and gas companies via truck hauling, served by well permit no. 12873-FP. According to our records, well permit no. 12873-FP is permitted to withdraw 175 acre-feet per year at 600 gpm from the White River aquifer. The proposed use is consistent with the permitted uses, limited to industrial use in Weld County via truck hauling. The well structure for well permit no. 13379-FP is also located on the proposed 2.71-acre lot and is permitted to irrigate a 70-acre circle in part of the E1/2 of Section 10, T10N, R61W of the 6th P.M. Per the application, well permit no. 13379-FP will not be used to service the Water Loading Dock. Should you have any questions in this matter, please contact Justina Farris of this office.
