G O_L)N_ z Public Works Department
SUBJECT: USR12-0028, Overland Pass Pipeline
Booster Pump Station for the Buckingham Site
The Weld County Public Works Department reviewed the submitted application for critical items, including but
not limited to Site Plan, Traffic Study, Preliminary Drainage Report, Geotechnical Soils Report, and Flood
Hazard Development Permit. Comments made during this stage of the review process will not be all inclusive;
as revised materials are submitted other concerns or issues may arise. All issues of concern and critical
issues during further review must be resolved with the Public Works Department.
COMMENTS:
CR 82 is a local gravel road and requires a 60-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. Our most current
average daily traffic count reflects approximately 8-10 vehicles taken in 2008.
CR 139 is a local gravel road and requires a 60-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.
Stormwater Drainage:
The proposed booster pump station will be located adjacent to an ephermal drainage channel. The proposed
booster pump station will cover approximately 5 acres of the 10 acre parcel. The application indicates that the
site will be graveled and several structures including two buildings will be constructed. The existing property
appears to be undeveloped resulting in an imperviousness of approximately 2%. Once the proposed
construction occurs, the impervious area of the property will be greater than 40%. Due to the proximity to the
channel and the fact that the increased impervious area will result in more stormwater runoff, the proposed
project must be include a detention pond that has been sized to capture the runoff from the 100-year
developed condition and release it at the 5-year historic rate.
Flood Hazard Development Standards:
This area IS NOT in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
REQUIREMENTS:
Access:
The applicant has acquired an approved access to the facility (AP12-00154), approving 2 access points. All
access points must be a minimum of 75 feet apart. The drawing is reflecting a 24" RCP culvert at both access
points, and 2 ten-foot gated entrances offset 53 feet from the County road.
Show the approved access on the plat and label it with the approved access permit number (AP#).
Traffic:
A Traffic Management Plan was supplied, identifying that the traffic related to the construction would not
substantially impact the local traffic in the area. Appropriate signing and right-of-way permits would be required
for construction of the entrances at this location.
C:\Documents and Settings\kford\Desktop\USR12-0028\Referral with comment Public Works.doc
Stormwater:
In order to prevent offsite erosion and damage to CR 82, the applicant must provide a drainage report and
construction drawings for a detention pond that has been sized to capture the 100-year developed condition
stormwater and release the captured runoff at the 5-year historic rate.
The drainage criteria can be found in Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code and in the Engineering Criteria
Manual that can be found online at http://www.co.weld.co.us/Departments/PublicWorks/index.html.
Grading Permit:
Since more than 1 acre is to be disturbed, a grading permit will be required prior to the start of construction.
The grading permit application must contain: an erosion and sediment control plan, a grading plan, installation
details of all BMPs to be utilized, typical installation and maintenance notes for all BMPs to be utilized, and a
copy of the approved CDPHE stormwater permit.
Please add the following development standards to the plat:
1. Pursuant to Chapter 15, Articles I and II of the Weld County Code, if noxious weeds exist on the
property or become established as a result of the proposed development, the applicant/landowner shall
be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds. All vegetation, other than grasses, needs to be
maintained at a maximum height of 12 inches until the area is completely developed.
2. A final drainage report stamped, signed, and dated by a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Colorado is required and shall conform to Weld County Code 24-7-130.D and Ordinance 2006-7.
3. Weld County shall not be responsible for the maintenance of on-site drainage related areas.
4. In the event that 1 or more acres are disturbed during the construction and development of this site, the

RE: Case Number USR12-0028
Dear Kim,
Colorado Parks and Wildlife(CPW) has reviewed the Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review
permit for a Booster Pump Station for an existing natural gas liquids pipeline— 'Buckingham Compressor
Station'. District Wildlife Manager Troy Florian made a site visit to the parcel. In this letter you will find
our comments concerning the proposal.
The site is located in Section 9,Township 7 N,Range 57 W,within a quarter mile west of WCR 139,and
north of and adjacent to WCR 82. The area where the development is proposed is representative of
vegetation and topography typically found in short grass prairie ecosystems.
If a Natural Gas Compressor Station is to be developed on the proposed site,CPW recommends that:
Ground-breaking construction occurs between August 15 and April 1 to prevent the destruction of
nesting wildlife.
Noxious weed and re-vegetation management plans are developed and implemented in areas
where there will be ground disturbance due to construction activities.
Any fence building on site are constructed with a wildlife friendly design.
Ground-breaking Construction. The short grass prairie is a desirable nesting habitat and contains a large
number of different species of small birds. Most species of small birds are primarily ground nesting birds,
although some species nest in trees or bushes. Some of these species are permanent residents while others
are migrants or summer(breeding)residents. All of the ground—nesting birds in this area could be subject
to habitat loss,displacement and disturbance from future construction or development. It is possible that
human activities around nest sites during critical nesting periods can have significant negative impacts. In
regards to ground-nesting birds in the area,it is recommended that any ground breaking construction that
takes place on the proposed area occurs before April 1 and after August 15 to minimize any impacts that
human activity may have on these ground nesting birds. USFWS staff recommends this as well as a way of
avoiding violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. If construction processes cannot be completed outside
of the critical nesting periods,CPW recommends that the developer conducts nest clearance surveys for
tree and ground nesting birds prior to ground-breaking activities to insure that nests and/or young are not
disturbed or destroyed as a result of construction activities.
Noxious Weed and Native Vegetation Reclamation Plans. With new ground-disturbing construction
taking place and machinery being transported from one site to another,it is important to take adequate

measures to prevent the spread of noxious weeds. Therefore,CPW recommends that a noxious weed and
re-vegetation management plan should be developed and implemented until all disturbed areas are properly
re-vegetated with native species representative of the surrounding site. In addition to actively eradicating
noxious weeds within the project area,part of the weed management plan should include measures such as
cleaning construction and maintenance equipment when moving from site to site to prevent the spread of
noxious weeds. When developing a native species re-vegetation plan,CPW recommends that the
developer use a success standard of 80%coverage of native vegetation as a measure of successful
reclamation.
Fencing. CPW recommends that fencing is limited to that needed to protect the project and fulfill MSHA
requirements. Where needed,CPW encourages the developer to use wildlife friendly fence to ensure
wildlife access to essential habitat,avoid creation of movement barriers,and prevent wildlife injury/death
caused by fencing. Fencing plans should avoid woven wire designs that will trap or prevent movement of
wildlife,unless specifically used to exclude humans and/or wildlife for facility safety or security. If barbed
wire fencing is used,CPW recommends the use of three/four strand fencing with a bottom strand height of
17 inches and a maximum top strand height of 42 inches,along with installation of double stays between
posts.
On behalf of CPW,I would like to thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal.
If you or the applicant has any further questions,please feel free to call Troy Florian at(970)443-1993.
