SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL
• REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. 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.
Drill, complete and operate two (2) oil and gas wells directionally-drilled from one (1)
drilling pad in the W1/2NE1/4SE1/4 of Section 23, Township 6 North, Range 66 West.
The existing tank battery site in the SE1/4NE1/4 of said Section 23 will be used for these
two wells. Initially it is anticipated that one additional tank, separator or meter house will
be required. The ultimate number of tanks will depend on production.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of Weld County Code, Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan). '
"Oil and as development in the County is an integral part of the Court economy, and has
a substantial direct and indirect impact on current and future land use, oil and gas
development is cyclical but the economics of drilling has caused extensive drilling
• activities in the Court. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-6."
"Oil and gas exploration and production should be conducted in a manner which
minimizes interference with existing surface use and mitigates the impact on future land
uses. OG. Goal 2. The extraction of oil and gas resource should conserve the land and
minimize the impact on surrounding land."
Applicant is directionally drilling two wells from one pad near an existing well,
thereby mitigating the impact on future land uses and minimizing the impact on
the surrounding property. The existing battery for the two wells also mitigates
and minimizes the impact.
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.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCITON FACILITIES are permitted in an R-1 zone as a use by
special review.
Applicant is hereby making application for a use by special review for two wells,
which are located in an R-1 zone and such additional wells as may in the future be
allowed by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and which would
be drilled from the same pad.
•
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and
• compatible with surrounding land uses.
The surrounding lands uses are agricultural and recreational (Seeley Lake). The grouping
of wells on one pad is consistent with good land use,taking as little land out of
production as possible while ensuring that the oil and gas resources are developed. One
battery site, which already exists, will minimize land dedicated to oil and gas
development.
5. Describe, in detail, the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
Six to ten workers, 24 hours per day, during drilling. Completion, for a short
period of time (less than 12 hours), may involve up to 20 workers. Thereafter,
only an occasional visit from the pumper is anticipated.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
None
c. What are the hours of operation?
• Production is anticipated at all times.
d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site?
Separation equipment(one to two separators), gas metering (minimum of one
meter) and crude oil storage tanks (likely one additional 300-bbl tank) are
anticipated, together with perhaps a larger water storage tank. In the future,
depending on line pressures, a compressor may be necessary to ensure sufficient
pressure to sell into existing lines.
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
None.
f. What kind(type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often?
After drilling and completion, an occasional crude oil tank truck will visit the tank
battery to pick up crude oil, and the pumper is expected to visit the wells on a
daily basis via pickup truck. During drilling,the rig will be brought in by trucks-
approximately 20—and assembled on the site.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
•
• •
Eaton Fire Protection District
• h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation).
No water will be needed other than that brought in by water trucks. There is no
ongoing need for any water. Bottled water is used for drinking water.
i. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
No system exists. Portable toilets are used during drilling and completion;
thereafter no facilities.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?N/A
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.
No landscaping is proposed.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special
Review activity occurs.
Separators,meter houses and tanks will be removed. The wells will be plugged and
• abandoned in full compliance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
rules.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
There is not anticipated to be any additional storm water drainage due to limited land
disturbance. It is likely that a Field Stormwater Management Plan will be filed with the
CDPHE.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping
is scheduled to begin.
Once undertaken, drill site construction is a one to two day process.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
Other than temporary pits during drilling and completion, no storage and/or stockpile of
wastes will occur on this site.
