SUBJECT: USR-1772, Pecan Pipeline, Inc.
A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support Facility
(offices, storage yard and warehouse) in the A(Agricultural) Zone District.
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. All issues of concern and critical issues
during further review must be resolved with the Public Works Department.
Weld County Road Classification Plan:
WCR 71 &WCR 136.5 are a local gravel roads and require a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is
presently a 60-foot right-of-way. These roads are 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.
• Access/Roadway:
The applicants are requesting three new accesses from WCR 71 for the site.
1. Each access point will require a completed Access Permit Application Form to be reviewed by our
Traffic Engineer prior to construction. Instructions for completing the access permit application
are available on the Public Works Website. The access permit will be reviewed for location and
design including adequate truck turning radiuses.
2. An Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this
project. It will detail the approved haul route(s), any onsite and offsite requirements, and a
maintenance agreement including dust control for the haul routes.
Contact Amy Burry, Utility Coordinator for Weld County Public Works, at (970) 304-6496 ext. 3764 for a
Right-of-Way permit for any work that may be required in the right-of-way. A special transport permit will
be required for any oversized or overweight vehicles that may access the site and may be obtained by
contacting Amy as well.
Site:
Multiple structures are proposed at the site including an office, warehouse, shop, communications tower,
and gas processing plants. An estimated maximum of 25 people will use this site per day with 4-8
employees at the site full time.
3. 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.

The applicant submitted a "Draft Preliminary Drainage Report" dated January 2011 and signed and
stamped by Chad Masching, P.E. with GEI Consultants, inc. The Preliminary Drainage Report is
acceptable to Public Works.
M:\PLANN!NG-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\USR-Use by Special Review\USR-1772 Pecan Pipeline\USR-1772.docx
• 4. A signed and stamped Final Drainage Report, following the checklist available on the Public
Works website, will need to be reviewed and approved before the Final Plat is recorded.
5. Please provide full size (24"x36")drawings with the Final Drainage Report.
6. The project will disturb over an acre of land therefore a State approved Stormwater Management

the approved permit once it has been obtained. The applicant is required to comply with all
Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division regulations
regarding storm water quality permitting and protection and construction storm water discharges.

it will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the
type generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or
unplanned ponding of storm run-off.
9. The applicant must take into consideration storm water capture/quantity and provide accordingly
for best management practices.

MEMORANDUM
TO: TOM PARKO, PLANNING SERVICES LUREN LIGHT,C
SUBJECT:
A TIN
U R 1772 PECAN PIPEL NE, C.HEALTH
COLORADO DATE: FEBRUARY 8, 2011
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for an oil and gas support
facility consisting of; offices, storage yard, warehouse, shop, power generation facility,
gas processing plant and a truck loading facility. The application indicates that there will
be up to 8 employees and 24 people may utilize the site on a daily basis. There are no
buildings currently on the parcel.
The application indicates that a septic system will be installed. As this is a commercial
facility, the septic system must be designed by an engineer and approved by the Board
of Health. An Underground Injection Control Class V Injection Well permit from the
• Environmental Protection Agency for any large-capacity septic system (a septic system
with the capacity to serve 20 or more persons per day) may be required.
The applicant will need to submit documentation that a permanent water source is
available. A well permitted through the State Division of Water Resources, for business
use, is an acceptable water source. Bottled water is not acceptable as this is a full time
business. If the facility's water system serves more than 25 persons on a daily basis
the water system shall comply with the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations (5
CCR 1003-1).
A dust abatement plan was submitted that indicates all access and parking areas will be
graveled and magnesium chloride will be utilized if necessary. The plan states that
water will also be provided for dust suppression but the source of the water was not
provided. Water trucked in specifically for dust suppression uses is acceptable.
Due to the location of the facility, noise should not be an issue. However, the applicant
should use best management practices regarding noise.
A waste handling plan was submitted that indicates various oils, paints, chemicals and
solvents which will be located on site. The name, address and phone number of the
various companies that will be used for waste handling shall be supplied. A copy of the
Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) should be kept onsite and a
•
•
copy provided to Environmental Health Services. An above ground storage tank permit
•
from the State will be required for any petroleum storage.
According to the application, the shop will be used for repair and maintenance of
equipment. There was no mention if a floor drain will be included in the shop. The
installation of a floor drain is only acceptable if it is an enclosed system which drains
into a vault that is emptied independently and not into the septic system.
An air emission permit from the State may be required for the processing or generation
plants.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval:

Water Division 1, 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, there will be no irrigation at the site and
water will be initially proved with bottled water from a commercial supplier. It appears there
is no immediate use of ground water for the oil and gas support facility in the A Zone
District. However, as the use of the site expands, EOG may apply for a water well permit if
and when needed. The well permit application would be evaluated pursuant to the
applicable statutes and rules at the time it is submitted to this office.
According to the submittal, during the construction phase of the project, EOG and
Pecan will use off-site water via water trucks to maintain dust suppression. EOG and Pecan
should be able to document that this water came from a source approved for industrial use.
