Introduction
DCP Midstream, LP (DCP) is in the process of expanding operations in Weld County, CO. The expansion
will include a new gas plant,three to four(3-4) compressor stations, and interconnecting pipelines.
This Use by Special Review (USR) permit application addresses only the gas plant. Additional USR
permit applications will be submitted for the compressor stations and pipelines.
The La Salle gas plant site is located east of Greeley, CO, in central Weld County. DCP intends to
construct the gas plant between early 2012 and 2013. Although the site is 160 acres, only 40 acres are
expected to be disturbed by construction and operation of the plant. After construction,the site will be
fully fenced with a six-foot-high chain link fence topped with barbed wire. The area inside the fence
will be graveled. The area outside the fence will be re-vegetated with native grasses.
Ten to fifteen full time employees are expected to be employed at the La Salle gas plant. The plant will
function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week year-round. A septic system will be installed to accommodate
post-construction sewage. Water will be provided for all uses, including fire suppression, by the
Central Weld County Water System.
• DCP meet with Mr.John Zadel, General Manager, and Mr. Stan Linker, Operations Manager, for the
Central Weld County Water District regarding the District's ability to supply potable water for the
proposed La Salle Gas Plant. At this time it is not anticipated that there will be any issues. DCP is in the
process of applying for a water tap. DCP has also checked with the Northern Colorado Water
Conservancy District to confirm whether or not the property has been included in their district and in
the Municipal Sub-district. The property has been included in the area covered by the Colorado Big
Thompson project, but not in the Municipal Sub-district. DCP will partition for inclusion once
ownership of the property has been transferred to DCP.
DCP met with Chief Barry Schaefer and Fire Marshal Doug Myers from the Platte Valley Fire Protection
District on May 12, 2011. It was decided a Knox key override will be installed to allow emergency
access to the front gate. Fire hydrants and fire eyes/gas detectors will also be installed. If the office
building is two stories, a sprinkler system may be required.
An electrical substation will be necessary to provide appropriate power. A substation will be located
on/or near the property and included in this USR. DCP is currently in communication with Pouder
Valley Electrical Association, the owner and operator of the substation, to determine details that may
need to be included in the USR.
•
• Weld County code stipulates noise levels for industrial or construction sites be below 80 dB(A) from
7:00 a.m. to 9:00p.m. and below 75 dB(A)from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. DCP does not foresee exceeding
these limitations during the construction or operation of the compressor station.
Regarding outdoor lighting, Weld County code stipulates light rays will not shine directly onto adjacent
properties where such would cause a nuisance or interfere with the use on the adjacent property. Also
stipulated in the code is: Neither direct nor reflected light from any light source may create a traffic
hazard to operators of motor vehicles on public or private streets and colored lights that may be
confused with or construed as traffic control devices shall not be used. DCP does not intend to use
excessive lighting and does not foresee exceeding limitations regarding lighting at the La Salle gas
plant.

1. Explain,in detail,the proposed use of the property.
The site for the La Salle gas plant is 160 acres. Only 40 acres would be
disturbed in the building or operation of the gas plant. The plant will be
used as a natural gas processing and high-pressure gathering system. The
gathering system expansion will include the capability to service producers
in the Niobrara Shale development to the north and west of DCP's existing
facilities.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter
22 of the comprehensive plan.
The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan's intent to
foster development of the natural resources of Weld County.
• 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter
23 (zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the agricultural zone
district, as it will foster the development of oil and gas resources. Pursuant
to 23-3-20 of the Weld County Code, oil and gas production facilities are

Waste Management Plan
Purpose
This plan projects the quantities and types of waste that will be generated through operation of
the La Salle gas plant and details waste management and disposal. The plan further outlines
the operational chemicals to be stored on-site which may require future disposal.
Objective
This plan will ensure wastes generated at the La Salle facility are managed according to all local,
state and federal regulations. Further, this plan defines operational chemicals used or stored on
site which require specific disposal pathways. This plan is written to provide training and
guidance to site workers to ensure all materials are properly handled and disposed.
Chemicals Stored On-Site
The following materials will be stored at the facility to support operations and have specific
• disposal requirements:
• Amine Storage Tank: 1— 1,000 BBLS
• Condensate Storage Tanks: 4—400 BBLS Ea
• Refrigerant Storage Tank: 1—6,565 gal.
• Hot Oil Storage Tank: 1—300 BBLS
• Methanol Storage Tank: 1—500 gal.
• Waste Water Storage Tanks: 2—300 BBLS
• Produced Water Storage Tank: 1—210 BBLS
• Lube Oil Storage for Residue Compressors: 1-150 BBLS
• Lube Oil Storage for Ref Screw Compressors: 1-150 BBLS
• LP Condensate Storage Tanks: 1—30,000 gal.
• Used Oil Tanks: 1-100 BBLS
DCP containerizes all waste and contracts for its disposal with a government permitted
facility(ies). Furthermore, a spill prevention, control and counter measures (SPCC) plan will be
developed to outline appropriate actions in the event of a spill. The plan will be specifically
developed for the La Salle gas plant prior to initiation of start-up activities. It will cover
secondary containment requirements, response actions, and waste disposition and disposal in
the event of a spill or release. DCP has detailed policies and procedures in place that will be
• applied to the specifics of any spill or release resulting from the operations. DCP's SPCC plan
• will be written in accordance with requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection
Agency.
