If a question does not pertain to your use, please respond with "not applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable. 1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. The proposed property use is industrial, primarily for injection well operations for the oil and gas industry. The operation acts as a means of disposal of saltwater produced from off-site production wells and from the flow back of recently completed off-site wells. The well will be completed to a projected total depth of+/- 9,500 feet. Water will be injected back into the Lyons, Entrada, and possibly Fountain formations. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan. Currently the proposed site is zoned agricultural. Per the Comprehensive Plan, industrial development that is not directly related to agriculture is permitted where adequate services exist or are reasonably obtainable. When located properly, industrial development is encouraged because of the economic benefits associated with it. 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 site is zoned Agricultural and, per Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code, oil and gas storage, support and service facilities are permitted when approved by the Use by Special Review process. 4. What type of uses surround the site (explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses). The proposed site is surrounded by vacant lots to the north, west and east. The lot to the west contains existing oil and gas facilities and the lot to the east is currently for sale. The site is bounded on the south by Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. The proposed industrial use is consistent with the surrounding land uses as oil and gas facilities exist in the adjacent lot and oil and gas facilities are permitted in agricultural areas. 5. Describe, in detail, the following: a. Number of people who will use this site Primarily the site will be accessed by trucks only. It is anticipated that trucks will access the site 30 times per day (round trip). b. Number of employees proposed to be employed at this site Number of employees proposed to be employed at this site is expected to be four to six. It is expected that there will be two employees per shift. c. Hours of operation Hours of operation: 7 a.m. — 10 p.m. d. Type and number of structures to be erected (built) on this site Site will contain one occupied building and a tank farm for collection and separation for supporting the injection well. e. Type and number of animals, if any, to be on this site No animals are expected on this site. f. Kind of vehicles (type, size, weight) that will access this site and how often The kind of vehicles (type, size, weight) that will access this site will be WB50 semi trucks with storage containers weighing approximately 38 tons-loaded. These trucks are expected to access the site approximately.30 times per day (round trip). Bobtail trucks carrying water weighing roughly 28 tons will also access the site. The anticipated truck traffic will be a mix of the two models. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site The La Salle Fire Protection District will provide fire protection to the site. h. Water source on the property (both domestic and irrigation) Central Weld County Water District is expected to provide water service for the operations building. Irrigation water is not anticipated. i. Sewage disposal system on the property (existing and proposed) A leach field system is proposed for the site's sewage disposal to support the facilities in the operations building only. No existing sewage disposal systems currently exist on- site. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored No warehousing is proposed; however, storage of approximately 5,000 bbls (210,000 gallons) of saltwater will be contained in the tank farm prior to injection. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. Proposed landscaping for the site is expected to be minimal since the project site is primarily surrounded by agricultural lands. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. Termination of the Use by Special Review activity is not expected. 8. Explain how the stormwater drainage will be handled on the site. The majority of the stormwater runoff from this site will be conveyed to the detention system by the layout and grading of the site. The detention system is located throughout the site and is linked together by culverts. From the detention system, the runoff will be released at an attenuated rate to the existing roadside swale along Weld County Road 54. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Once the well is drilled, construction of the site is expected to take approximately six months. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2008 and minimal landscaping will be installed once construction is complete. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Storage and stockpiling of wastes is not expected on-site. The saltwater received will be stored within the tank farm prior to injection. • • • -41 July 1, 2008 LAMP RYNEARSON & ASSOCIATES 808 8th Street Greeley.
