C.
ill FROM: MARY EVETT, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH 1\k,SUBJECT: USR-1744 CHAVEZ
COLORADO DATE: MAY 12,2010
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a used auto parts sales
and salvage business. There is an existing metal warehouse and an office building on
the property. Water for the business is provided by an individual well (Well permit No.
214950-A). According to the permit, the use of the well is for domestic purposes only.
The applicant will need to obtain a permit by the Division of Water Resources for
approval of the well for commercial use.
There is an existing septic system for the office on the property that is permitted for 4
employees (Permit No. SE-1000008). According to the application, the commercial
• facility has 5 employees and serves walk-in customers (average of 10 customers per
day). Since there is a proposed increase in hydraulic load, the existing septic system
will require an evaluation by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer for the total
number of employees and use by patrons of the commercial facility. If the system is
found to be inadequate, the system must be brought into compliance with current
I.S.D.S. regulations. In addition, according to the site plan submitted with the
application, there is an asphalt pad in the area of the existing septic system. The septic
system must be protected from vehicle traffic.
According to the application, draining of all fluids from engines and transmissions is
performed inside the warehouse. The waste oil, transmission fluid, coolant, antifreeze,
brake fluid, and power steering fluid are then stored in 2-500 gallon composite barrels.
Once a month the fluids are removed by a local waste liquid recycling and disposal
company. According to the applicant, the gasoline is siphoned out of the used vehicles
and stored in 5 gallon gas cans for use in company vehicles. All containers of fluids are
stored in a concrete area outside of the warehouse building
A minimal dust abatement plan will be required for onsite dust. A waste handling plan is
required to ensure materials are disposed of properly. The waste handling plan shall
include the names, addresses and phone numbers of the waste handlers and facilities
where the waste will be disposed. In addition, all products must be stored in
compliance with manufactures recommendations.
•
• We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval:
We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be
recorded:
1 . The applicant shall submit a dust abatement plan, detailing on site dust control
measures, for review and approval, to the Environmental Health Services, Weld
County Department of Public Health & Environment.
2. In the event the applicant intends to utilize the existing septic system, for
employee and customer use, the septic system shall be reviewed by a Colorado
Registered Professional Engineer. The review shall consist of observation of the
system and a technical review describing the system's ability to handle the
proposed hydraulic load. The review shall be submitted to the Environmental
Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment. In the event the system is found to be inadequately sized or
constructed the system shall be brought into compliance with current I.S.D.S.
Regulations.
3. The applicant shall submit evidence of a Colorado Discharge Permit System
(CDPS) from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of
Health and Environment for any proposed discharge into State Waterways, if
•
applicable.
4. The applicant shall submit written evidence from the Colorado Division of Water
Resources, demonstrating that the well is appropriately permitted for the
commercial use.
5. The applicant shall submit evidence of an Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Class V Injection Well permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for any vehicle maintenance facility located on the site that is equipped with a

include expected volumes and types of waste generated).
2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site.
•
• 3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including
the facility name, address, and phone number).
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as

To: Michelle Martin, Planner April 15, 2010
From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR-1744 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (VI-0100259) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of multiple businesses and mobile homes without first obtaining
the appropriate zoning permits. Since the initiation of the violation,the mobile homes and majority of the
businesses (except 2 commercial operations) have been removed from the property. This case was
presented to the Board of County Commissioners through the Violation Hearing process on December 09,
2008. At that Violation Hearing, the Board of County Commissioners referred this case to the County
Attorney's Office for immediate legal action. Since this violation has already been filed in District Court,
investigation fees are required.
This application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners will correct the violation. If this
application is denied, the commercial business and storage shall be removed from the property within 30
(thirty) days or the Violation case will proceed accordingly through the Court process.

Re: USR-1744—Guadalupe Rose and Jose Chavez—A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by
Special Review Permit for Commercial junkyard or salvage yard in the 1-3 (Industrial)Zone District
Dear Ms. Martin:
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 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 the physical availability of water..
According to the submitted information, potable water for the property is supplied by well permit nos.
103372 and 214950-A. Well permit no. 103372, was late registered in accordance with C.R.S. 37-92-602(5) on
August 23, 1978 for the historical use of this well, being a well producing 20 gallons per minute and used for
domestic and livestock purposes. In addition, well permit no. 214950 was late registered in accordance with C.R.S.
37-92-602(5) on December 29, 1998 for the historical use of this well, being a well producing 15 gallons per minute
and used for ordinary household purposes inside one single-family dwelling. On the same date, permit no. 214950-
A was approved for the replacement of the existing well on the condition that the old well is plugged and
abandoned. The replacement well was constructed on December 14, 1998, under emergency approval 98VE540.
Note that the use of the ground water for wells constructed and put to beneficial use prior to May 8, 1972 is
limited to the uses that can reasonably be shown to have existed as of May 8, 1972 or the uses that can reasonably
be shown to have been intended as of May 8, 1972 (provided such uses do not exceed the statutory use limits for a
residential well as specified by CRS 37-92-602(1), which allows for up to three single-family dwellings, the watering
of domestic animals and livestock, and the irrigation of not more than one acre of home lawn and garden).
According to the information provided it appears that well no. 214950-A, is currently being used for the
commercial business. If the well is being used to provide water to a commercial business, the Applicant must obtain
a new permit for this well that allow for commercial use. On January 28, 2010 the Applicant submitted a well permit
application to change permit no. 214950-A from ordinary household purposes to commercial use. On February 5,
2010 the application was returned to the applicant for additional information. The ability for well no. 214950-A to
obtain a new commercial permit will be evaluated at the time that the well permit application is re-submitted to this
office.
Should you have any questions in this matter, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office.
Sincerely.
