Re: Case Number USR-1617
Dear Mr. Gathman,
Thank you for your assistance on May 21 when you provided written information about Case
Number USR-1617, east of and adjacent to CR 3 and south of and adjacent to State Highway 60.
Having reviewed the "SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL
REVIEW" submitted by Mr. James Warner, we wish to bring to your attention our concerns.
The"Proposed Use" is listed on the USR application form as, "Water tap to support oil & gas
• activities." When Lorraine Elmquist received the "Notice to Surrounding Property/Mineral Interest
Owners,"the description provided in it did not bring to our attention what appears to be a more
significant change in the use of the Warner property surrounding the oil and gas support facility.
Upon reviewing the detailed information attached to the form, we learned that not only would a
water tap be under review but also a change in the vehicular access to the tank facility and treater
house that exist immediately adjacent to Weld CR 3.
As surrounding property and mineral owners, we have the following interests and concerns:
1. We understand by reading the information associated with the USR application that there is a
continuing need for oil and gas related separation, production and storage equipment to
remain in use on the site adjacent to CR 3, including the water tap that apparently already
exists and has been there since sometime after 1994. As surface and mineral interest owners
of both the farm immediately to the north of this site on,the north side of State Highway 60
and of a nearby reservoir southwest of the intersection of CR 3 and SH 60, we have a stake in
the continued viability of oil and gas production activities in the vicinity. (The farm is
located in Larimer County and is the S'/ of the SW% of Section 32, T5N, R68W. The
reservoir site was not labeled on the notification's map and is surrounded by the property
labeled as"Schrage." It is located in Weld County and is part of E''/2 of the NE'%of Section
6, T4N, R68W.)
We do not have a full understanding of how the use of the Warner property may have
• evolved over many years. Nevertheless, it appears to us that the proposed fencing and
EXHIBIT

landscaping between the oil and gas facilities and CR 3 should have been installed on the
west side of CR 3 by, and at the expense of, the developers of new residences there, rather
than expecting those amenities to be provided now by the oil and gas operators.
2. In conjunction with any changes being proposed on the Warner property now or in the future,
we believe that it is important to have Weld County document the routing across the Warner
property of an irrigation ditch that carries water to the eastern portion of our farm. This is
labeled as an "unnamed ditch"on the site map associated with the application. Our water
comes from the Home Supply Ditch and, for a short distance between the Home Supply
Ditch and the oil tank facility, it runs northerly along the eastern edge of Weld County Road
3. Just south of the oil tank facility, it turns away from CR 3 and heads northeasterly across
the Warner property, passing along the southeast edge of the oil tank facility and treater
house. The routing and construction features of the proposed access road need to be
designed in such a way that our farm operation's continued use of, and accessibility to,this
ditch is recognized and accommodated.
3. We do not agree that the proposal to move the truck access from CR 3 to SH 60 can be easily
• summarized as a change that"will improve road conditions, minimize dust,reduce noise and
improve safety." (Part 1 of the USR Questionnaire)
• Dust: One might assume that all traffic leaving or entering the oil and gas facilities
would be using SH 60 and not by coming from or leaving the site to the south via CR 3.
It appears to us from the site drawing that the length of driveway associated with
changing the access from CR 3 to SH 60 would cause trucks to travel on what we are
expecting would be a privately owned gravel or dirt lane for a substantially longer
distance than they currently travel on CR 3 (which is a gravel road) between SH 60 and
the two current access points along CR 3. (If some traffic is reaching or leaving the site
from/to the south on CR 3, it will have an even longer distance to travel on gravel or dirt
after the change.)
Consequently, it seems reasonable for us to assume that the change in access would result
in more dust being generated by each truck trip overall, and certainly more dust being
airborne in the immediate vicinity of our property's residence, which is directly across
SH 60 from the proposed access point. The house on our property has existed there for
about 90 years and we believe that its surroundings, environmental quality, and
transportation safety deserve to be given as much consideration as the residences along
CR 3 that were built much more recently in close proximity to the pre-existing oil and gas
facilities.
• Noise: We understand the interest in moving truck traffic away from residential sites for
• purposes of reducing noise impacts. However, while having trucks enter and exit the oil
and gas facilities via the proposed SH 60 access will cause less noise to be generated at
Comments from Lorraine Elmquist& Elmquist Bros.
Case Number USR-1617

• Page 3 of 3
the CR 3 residences,the change in traffic pattern will likely cause more noise to be
generated in close proximity to the residence on our property after the proposed change.
Additionally, because there is presumably more traffic using SH 60,there is likely to be
even more noise generated than before from the other vehicles on SH 60, which will now
be accelerating or decelerating because of being impeded by the slow-moving oil and gas
related vehicles turning on and off SH 60. There does not appear to be any reasonable
assurance that the truck traffic can be restricted to daytime hours, resulting in the
potential for sleep to be interrupted during the night.
• Safety: We do not understand how the proposed change in access will improve traffic-
related safety. Having truck traffic continue to utilize the well-marked CR 3 intersection
enroute to the water tap would seem to be a better choice from the standpoint of vehicular
safety than having it use a private driveway on SH 60. With State Highway 60 being a
paved thoroughfare, as compared to CR 3 being a much lower volume, gravel
collector/local road, there are likely to be greater risks for collisions between the oilfield
trucks and other traffic traveling past the site's public road access point if it would be on
SH 60. While the proposed"oil/gas access" onto the Warner property from SH 60
• already exists to serve a well head and pump south of our farm,the proposed change
would result in increased use of this access by rerouting what has previously been traffic
turning onto and off of CR 3. This would appear to be an unwise change simply because
of the conflicts with the substantially faster-moving SH 60 traffic, notwithstanding the
higher volumes of traffic on SH 60. The increased traffic using this access will pose new
conflicts and hazards to those motorists wishing to enter or leave the driveways on the
north side of SH 60 that serve our property, and to the other motorists using SH 60.
In other words,the proposed change would appear to bring the detrimental aspects of
environmental impacts (dust, noise and headlight distractions) and traffic safety hazards from
CR 3 to our property's residence on SH 60 and even make them more pronounced.
We appreciate your consideration of our concerns and look forward to seeing responses to them as
the application moves forward.
Best regards,
Stanley O Elmquist 6

RE: Warner USR-1617
Dear Chris,
Please find attached my response to the USR Questionnaire for the
above referenced project. The questionnaire as submitted is very
misleading and exaggerated. I will respond to each section as it is
outlined in their proposal.
1) Use of property When I moved onto my property in 1992 the site
consisted of storage tanks only. No other use occurred.
Approximately 6 or 7 years ago the storage tanks were relocated
and a Little Thompson 4"water tap and a metal building were
installed without a permit. If the USR site is only the area located at
the corner of SH 60 and WCR 3 then no production occurs on the
site. There are numerous wells in the vicinity, as there are in all of
Weld County; however the use of the site is Heavy Industrial filling
•
of 18 wheel tanker trucks. Photos have been submitted for your
review.
As per the traffic study by Weld County Public Works for the 3 days of
3/13/07 to 3/16/07 the study shows A&W truck activity of 91 trucks in
72 hours. That's 30.3 per day not the 9.89 the applicant is claiming. I
have previously provided a copy of the report to you.
An ambient air quality report was performed on the truck loop road
only on 3/6/07. The Colorado and National Ambient Air Quality
standard for 24-hour impact is 150 micrograms per cubic meter. The
report concluded that at my front door the impact is 350 micrograms or
over twice the legal limit. In order to get to the legal limit you have to be
160 meters from the loop road. So simply keeping the trucks off of
WCR 3 is not going to minimize the dust problem. Again you have a
copy of this report.
Not only is the dust a problem but the noise of as many as 10 diesel
trucks idling at the same time as well as the smell from the exhaust is

well beyond the goals outlined in the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan.
The trucks are not able to safely turn onto SH 60 from WCR 3 without
having to cross into oncoming traffic. Photos of this have been
provided. The previous use as well as the proposed use is in violation
of the Industrial Development Policy 4.3 of the Comp. Plari.
As far as a portable toilet goes, I would rather they just continue to
relieve themselves behind the building than have to look at and smell a
portable toilet that will never be pumped out or cleaned.
2) Consistent with Comp. Plan This use is not even close to being
consistent with the Comp. plan. The use will remain unchanged? It
was illegal to begin with. They want to preserve the property? It is
currently for sell, and will most likely become a subdivision like all
the other land that surrounds it.
The look of the property will not be preserved in nature; they are
proposing a heavy industrial use. And as stated they intend to intensify
its usage. It will take on the look of a truck stop. Something like a
Johnson's Corner.
• The water tap is not a scarce resource they informed me they have
numerous taps they can pull water from. Since the notice went out they
were in violation of numerous codes the use has almost stopped. Since
the planning hearing notice was posted it has stopped altogether. They
are not just sitting around doing nothing; they are getting water from
other sources. The company will not be put out of business they will just
have to relocate this tap or continue to get water elsewhere. No
economic impact will be felt by anyone.
3) Consistent with Weld County Zoning The proposed use is for
Heavy Industry not a use allowed by right. Again the average trips
are incorrect and they state it is in decline. However they previously
stated they wanted to intensify the use.
Oil and gas wells have historically coexisted, but not industrial water taps
in a predominantly residential area. Don't be fooled this is an Industrial
operation.
I bought my property and built in 1992, this use did not exist on the
proposed property until about 6 or 7 years ago. So I predate this use.

www.kenneyarch.corn
Also since the existing usage of the property was illegal it does not
predate any of the subdivisions in the area since it has not been
approved yet. If approved this will be the only industrial or commercial
activity located on SH 60 between US 287 and 125 with the exception of
the trailer sales right at the frontage road of 125.
This area has changed over the last 15 years and is now predominantly
residential and will continue to develop in this way. The land to the North
of this property is in Loveland's UGA and is planned for low density
housing. Two other subdivisions have been approved on WCR 3 just to
the South and homes are under construction in the subdivision to the
East. Hacienda Heights subdivision is built out to the West so the
proposed area is completely surrounded by residential uses.
4) Surrounding Land Uses The use of the surrounding land as
mentioned above is residential not agricultural and oil production.
You can see wells scattered around the area just as you can in all
of Weld County. However you will not find a commercial or
industrial use in site. Again don't be fouled they are not asking to
construct a well on this site as they would lead you to believe.
Their operations do not adhere to any Weld County Codes and are in
complete conflict with the surrounding neighborhoods.
• 5) a. Number of persons Again the traffic study performed by Weld
County Public Works shows 30.3 trucks a day.
b. This is true
c. Historically Sat. and Sun. show the most activity. But they do run
7 days a week. I have provided photos of trucks in the AM with
their lights on and in the PM with their lights on. They have started
as early as 5:30 and as late as 10: PM.
d. The existing structures on the site were built without a permit.
e. Last year there was a pair of pheasants nesting in the corner,
that was kind of cool.
f. They are 18 wheeled 2,000 gallon tanker trucks. And show up
30.3 times on an average day. As stated they want to intensify the
use.
g. Berthoud provides fire protection however there is no fire
hydrant within the required distance to the structures.
h. If a restroom and landscaping is required then a tap for this
purpose would be required.

I As I stated I have no desire to look at or smell a portable toilet
and they are not going to drive these tankers to the office to use
the restroom.
j. They already have storage on the site. One of the storage tanks
looks like it fell of the back of a truck. It even has the tail lights and
fenders still attached.
6) Landscape This site has never been treated to prevent vegetation
in fad it is currently covered with 2' to 3'weeds. The berms
referred to are the 12" high detainment berms around the storage
tanks.
7) Reclamation Indefinitely is a very long time. What happens when
the site is completely surrounded by residential uses? The soil
under the new access would have to be removed and the
remaining soil amended to grow any type of vegetation.
8) Drainage This does not address the low wet land area at the
Northwest corner of the site.
9) Timeframe This is a false statement, the tanks and building have
been painted but there is no fence in site. Will there be a silt fence
around the property? Or will they be allowed to manufacture more
• dust for us?What will become of the two existing access points?
Or will they be allowed three?
10) Storage They say in this statement they plan to store materials
and dirt on site, what kind of materials, is this going to continue to
be a junk storage yard?Will we have massive dirt piles on site?
This proposed use is in violation of every aspect of Weld County's
Comp. Plan, Zoning Ordinance's and just about everything else Weld
County has accomplished in the past years. The application is
misleading and incomplete. No Traffic Impact Report was submitted. No
Air Quality Report was provided to Weld County Health Department as
required. No noise mitigation plan was submitted. They have not
demonstrated compliance as required in section 24.5.1 or have they met
the requirements of section 24.5.1.2, 24.5.1.5.1, 24.5.1.8 this states, and
is by far the most important, The access shall be located and

JUL 1 7 2007
To: Weld County Commissioners Weld County Planners RECEIVED
A fundamental principal of land use planning is compatibility. Compatibility is
determined by many factors, such as size, height, intensity of uses, impact on natural
resources, and similarity to surrounding uses. Just as it would be inappropriate to put a
massage parlor or liquor store next to an elementary school, it is similarly wrong to put
an industrial use, such as this water extraction business, next to rural homes.
One obvious incompatibility is traffic. For instance, according to the institute of Traffic
Engineers (ITE) —Trip Generation Manual, a typical residence generates ten trips per
day (five cars, including the residents of the home, and services such as mail delivery
and the like). However, this business creates substantially more traffic, and
consequently is a serious threat to safety (see pictures of traffic) and quality of life. The
truck s are on site from 8 am to 5 pm often idling as they sit for hours on the side of the
County Road. This creates air and noise pollution on a regular basis which is both a
health concern and nuisance that diminishes the enjoyment of the surrounding rural
residential properties. In addition, cars using the county road are forced to pass these
parked trucks by using the wrong side of the road to access the highway. This is unsafe,
illegal, and problematic for everyone using the county road. Furthermore, when the
trucks enter the highway, they are unable to get up to speed. Both of these factors
result in an inherent risk of collision, which further diminishes the safety for the residents
• of the surrounding rural residential homes and users of the adjacent roadways. The
size, weight, and number of trucks also have an adverse impact on road quality. The
road is wash-boarded; damaging cars as they use the road and requiring the county to
pay for what would otherwise be unnecessary road maintenance.
People's homes are their greatest investment. The value of the homes in this area is
estimated at around $600,000 to $800,000. The reason I and many of my neighbors
moved to this part of the County was for the rural environment, the country estate that
allows for a high quality of life, open fields, with rural experiences and the core values of
country living. This industrial use is not compatible with the expectation or reality of rural
living or the right to farm. It is intuitively evident that this industrial use will diminish the
value of the rural residential homes that surround it. Due to the intensity of the activity
on this water extraction business it is unlikely that anyone desiring a country experience
will select the neighboring properties for their home. Therefore, there is the real
potential for this industrial use to diminish the re-sale value and return on my investment.
Consequently, the taxes generated by these residential properties will also be
diminished if the proposed industrial use continues.
Where does the County get its funds for road maintenance and other services? From
tax dollars. Therefore, if this industrial use is approved an allowed to continue our tax
dollars will be subsidizing a business that adversely effects our property.
When considering this industrial and conditional use, no level of visual mitigation will
offset these adverse impacts. The nature of the business generates truck traffic that is
• not compatible with the neighboring properties and uses. Any trees planted will take a
generation to grow to sufficient size to screen the property and use. In addition,

fn . �.
seasonal changes will result in the business being visible for half of the year, even if
• there were mature trees to help screen it. If they planted evergreens, then it would take
even more time for the trees to mature, and they would not be compatible with the
surrounding plains environments. Furthermore, the trucks would continue to be there,
idling for hours generating noise and air pollution, and adversely impacting the adjacent
roadways and safety.
In addition to the monetary loss in value this business has created for the neighboring
rural residential properties; there is the intrinsic value of living in a rural environment that
will be lost with continued operation of this industrial business in our rural residential
area. These losses will be real and there will continue to be serious health and safety
concerns.
Commissioners, do not approve this Industrial use in our rural residential and agricultural
neighborhood.
Tha you,
President of Hacienda Home Owners Association/Home owner

EPA AP-42
• 13.2.2.2 Emissions Calculation And Correction Parameters
1-6
The quantity of dust emissions from a given segment of unpaved road varies linearly with
the volume of traffic. Field investigations also have shown that emissions depend on
source parameters that characterize the condition of a particular road and the associated
vehicle traffic. Characterization of these source parameters allow for"correction" of
emission estimates to specific road and traffic conditions present on public and industrial
roadways.
Dust emissions from unpaved roads have been found to vary directly with the fraction of
silt(particles smaller than 75 micrometers [:m] in diameter) in the road surface materials.
1
The silt fraction is determined by measuring the proportion of loose dry surface dust that
passes a 200-mesh screen, using the ASTM-C-136 method.
A summary of this method is contained in Appendix C of AP-42. Table
13.2.2-1 summarizes measured silt values for industrial unpaved roads.
'fable 13.2.2-2 summarizes measured silt values for public unpaved roads.It should be
noted that the ranges of silt content vary over two orders of magnitude. Therefore, the
use of data from this table can potentially introduce considerable error. Use of this
data is strongly discouraged when it is feasible to obtain locally gathered data.
Since the silt content of a rural dirt road will vary with geographic location, it should be
measured for use in projecting emissions. As a conservative approximation,the silt
content of the parent soil in the area can be used. Tests, however, show that road silt
• content is normally lower than in the surrounding parent soil, because the fines are
continually removed by the vehicle traffic, leaving a higher percentage of coarse
particles.

Loveland, Colorado 80537
Re: Dust Issue at Weld County Water Fill Station
Dear Mr. Warner:
As requested, I have reviewed the ambient air quality impact analysis provided by Dr. Bruce
MacDonald in regard to the issue of dust generated during tank truck filling operations at a
specific location on Weld County Road 3. The following information may be helpful.
1. The assumptions that are used in the analysis are conservative, which means that they
tend to predict a higher level of dust emission than is likely to be the case in reality.
• 2. The dispersion modeling tool (SCREEN3) is also very conservative and tends to
overstate the impact on ambient air quality.
3. If site-specific data and a more refined dispersion modeling tool are used instead of the
above,the predicted air quality impact will likely be significantly less.
4. Implementation of a common dust control method, such as routine road surface wetting,
will significantly reduce actual dust emissions.
5. Regulatory oversight of this issue is provided by the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) Air Pollution Control Division (APCD). In regard to
this subject matter, Regulation No. 1 Section III.D addresses fugitive particle emissions
and, in particular, establishes in Subsection III.D.2.a.(i).(B) regarding unpaved roads that
the threshold for regulatory action is"vehicle traffic exceeding 200 vehicles per day" As
stated in Dr. MacDonald's analysis, vehicle traffic at the water station was estimated at
30 trucks per day,which is well below this threshold.
Sincerely,
• Thomas D. Atwood, P.E.

Statement of Dr. Bruce Macdonald
ENSR Corporation
1601 Prospect Parkway
Fort Collins, CO 80525
I have been asked to provide an estimate of impacts to ambient air quality resulting from truck
traffic at 23955 Weld County Road 3. Loveland Colorado, in Weld County Colorado. We were
provided pictures of the site, including proximity to highways and configuration of the site
roadway in order to make estimates of the emissions characteristics and the local impact area.
Particulate matter emissions with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns (PM10) from the
truck traffic and background emissions on the county road were estimated using the USEPA
standard guideline for estimating emissions, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors,
Volume 1: Stationary Point and Area Sources (AP-42), Chapter 13.2.2 Unpaved Roads. For the
industrial truck traffic on the unpaved loop used for water filling, Equation la for industrial
traffic used as follows.
EF= k (s/12y (W/3)e x (365-P/365) x (1 —CE) where:
• EF = emission factor in pounds per vehicle mile traveled (Ib/VMT)
k=constant for PMio (unitless); 1.5 (Table 13.2.2-2)
a =constant for PM10 (unitless); 0.9 (Table 13.2.2-2)
b =constant for PM i0 (unitless); 0.45 (Table 13.2.2-2)
s = surface material silt content (%); 8.5 (Mean for construction sites, Table 13.2.2-1)
W=mean vehicle weight (tons); 20 (Max vehicle weight per CDOT)
P =days precipitation above 0.254" per year; assumed 0 for worst case day
CE = control efficiency (%); no controls assumed
The average daily emission rate was then calculated from the emission factor based on vehicle
nniles-traveled-as-fe11ews— - -
ER = (VMT x EF)/OT
VMT = (L x N) where:
ER=average hourly emission rate in pounds per hour (lb/hr)
VMT =vehicle miles traveled per day
OT=number of operating hours per day; 12 (estimated)
L=length of haul loop (mi); 180 feet (measured from site drawing)
N =number of trucks per day; 30 (estimated)
The results of this calculation is attached as Attachment 1.
• EXHIBIT
• To estimate background emissions of PMio from the nearby County Road 3, Equation lb from
AP-42, Chapter 13.2.2 was used as follows:
EF = [k (s/12)a (S/30)`]/(M/0.5)° x (365-P/365) x (1 —CE) where:
EF =emission factor in pounds per vehicle mile traveled (lb/VMT)
k=constant for PM to (unitless); 0.18 (Table 13.2.2-2)
a= constant for PMio (unitless); 1 (Table 13.2.2-2)
c = constant for PM10 (unitless); 0.2 (Table 13.2.2-2)
d=constant for PM10 (unitless); 0.5 (Table 13.2.2-2)
s= surface material silt content (%); 4.8 (Mean for sand and gravel, Table 13.2.2-1)
S =mean vehicle speed (mph); 30 (estimated)
M = surface material moisture content (%); 6.7 (Mean for public roads; Table 13.2.2-3)
P = days precipitation above 0.254" per year; assumed 0 for worst case day
CE=control efficiency (%); no controls assumed
The results of this calculation is attached as Attachment 2.
The maximum predicted concentrations of PM10 was estimated as function of distance using the
EPA guideline SCREEN3 model for estimating maximum short term impacts. The unpaved haul
truck loop was characterized as an area source with dimensions of 55 meters by 6 meters while
the county road was characterized as 60 meter by 6 meter section of road. The emission rate was
• determined by dividing the average hourly emission rate by the total area. The SCREEN3 model
generates maximum hourly impacts using the hypothetical worst case meteorological conditions.
A copy of the SCREEN3 model output data for each run is attached as Attachment 3 and 4
respectively. The standard practice to calculate maximum impacts for a 24-hour period is to
multiply the predicted 1-hour impacts by a factor of 0.4. We can determine the maximum
predicted ambient concentration of PM10 by adding the impacts at a given distance. Assuming
the road is 10 meters from the loop,the maximum predicted impacts are shown in Attachment 5.
Graphs showing the maximum predicted impact as a function of distance are included in
Attachment 6 for the industrial source, Attachment 7 for the roadway, and Attachment 8 for the
combined sources.
The Colorado and National Ambient Air Quality standard for 24-hour PM10 impacts is 150
micrograms per cubic meter. From Attachments 5 and 8, we can predict an exceedance of the
ambient air PMio 24 hour standard at receptors within 120 meters of the center of the site haul
road.
