This is a road construction improvement project for WCR 7 between WCR 48 and State Highway 60 and WCR
48 between WCR 7 and the city limits of the City of Johnstown. The project consists of two adjacent road way
segments totaling 1.5 miles of roadway improvements.
Weld County (WCR) 7 is classified as a strategic, major arterial, and WCR 48 is classified as an arterial roadway.
Together, these roadways, provide one of the major transit sections in the region supporting traffic to and from
the Loveland and Johnstown areas. In an effort to maintain safety, both of these roadways are currently dust
suppressed with WCR 7 having chip seal over gravel and WCR 48 with magnesium chloride. Between 2005 and
today the traffic volumes on these roadways have quadrupled. Both WCR 7 and WCR 48 have 10%truck traffic
utilization. Current traffic counts for WCR 7 and WCR 48 are 1386 ADT and 1533 ADT respectfully. Current
traffic studies also point out that while these roadways are heavily utilized by local traffic on a daily basis, energy
drilling vehicles, trucks gathering oil in the area, and oil/gas servicing vehicles also contribute to the use of these
roadways.

D. PROJECT INFORMATION
The statutory purpose of the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to
"political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of
minerals and mineral fuels."
1. Social and Economic Impact
a. Describe how the applicant is impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy and mineral
resources
Weld County has over 20,366 oil and gas wells dispersed throughout the county with over 10,000 of these being
active wells. According to DPT, this represents over fifty (50) percent of all active wells in Colorado. Tangible
impacts created by this production are seen in increases in roadway utilization and intensity of use. Affects to
roadways are clearly evident and perhaps the most tangible impacts to view.
b. To further document impact, cite the type of past, current or proposed energy/mineral impact activities in the
area, the names of the companies involved, the number of employees associated with the activities impacting the
jurisdiction and other relevant, quantitative indicators of energy/mineral impact.
The attached map delineates the active oil and gas activity in this area.
Between FY 2000-2007, Weld County issued an average of 230 oil and gas permits per year. This trend changed
in 2006 when 618 oil and gas permits were issued in Weld County. As of March 31, 2008, 200 permits for oil and
gas have been issued in Weld County. Should we see this trend continue we can expect 2008 to be our highest
year of production activity.
c. Cite actual usage statistics that document impact and the need for the project. For example, "heavy truck traffic
related to energy development activities is impacting a county road that needs improvement. A traffic count done
in May 2006 showed that heavy truck traffic increased from 100 trips per day to 300 trips". (If documentation is
not available, consider undertaking the necessary research before submitting an application
Traffic counts for WCR 7 and WCR 48 are 1386 ADT and1533, both with 10% of truck traffic.
2. Project Significance
a. Why is the project needed and what are the goals of the project?
Due to the increase traffic along this corridor it is no longer efficient to merely treat these segments. Further
capacity and design improvements must be conducted to these roadways to maintain a safe level of transit
activity. The goal is to improve the roadways to ensure the current system is appropriately designed and
functionally safe.
b. How will project implementation benefit public health and safety, improve the effectiveness or efficiency of
service delivery systems and/or generally improve the quality of life for residents?
The public benefits of this project are numerous: the project affords the public assured safety and increased
capacity and functionality on a highly utilized roadway. The current dust treatments on the roadways are helpful
to lessen dust and air quality concerns, but with the amount and intensity of traffic on these roadways it is not a
long term solution. Of primary concern, is the amount of dust abatement efforts required to keep these roadways
within the acceptable State standards for air compliance.
c. What are the consequences if the project is not awarded funds?
Should funding not be available it will increasingly become more and more difficult to maintain the safety along
this roadway, and to maintain compliance with air compliance standards.
2. Local Commitment
Page 5 of 6 Pages
a. Explain the origin of your local cash match. (Note: Local government cash match on a dollar for dollar basis is
encouraged.)
Weld County will provide $807,281 dollars or 62% of the funds needed for this project. Weld County currently
has this project listed in its current CIP with construction proposed in 2009. It is estimated to take four months to
finish this roadway section with a completion date of January 1, 2010.
b. Describe any in-kind contributions (type and value).
Weld County Public Works staff is committed to managing the grant and overall construction of this project.
c. Does the applicant have sufficient financial capability in reserve funds and/or unused debt capacity that can be
used to secure local matching funds? Yes_X_No Explain: The Public Works 2008 fund balance is
d. Has the applicant's tax rate, user charges or fees been reviewed recently to address funding for the proposed
project? Yes_No_X_ Has the applicant recently modified the tax rate, user charges or fees? Yes
No X If the tax rate, user charges or fees were modified, when did this change occur?
e. What other sources of local, state and federal funds as well as foundation funds has the applicant pursued?
Explain. Weld County General fund dollars. Weld County Road 7 is considered a Strategic Arterial roadway and
as such is eligible for utilization of Capital Road Impact Fees.
f. Property taxes and impact fees are also used to fund capital projects. Weld County assesses a$1,000 per
oil/gas rig move, and administers a transportation impact fee on new development. Weld County also imposes a
Capital Expansion fee for new development to offset the cost of future new county facilities.
4. Relationship to Community Goals
a. Is the project identified in the applicant's budget, capital improvement plan, equipment replacement plan,
comprehensive plan, utility plan or other local or regional strategic management or planning document?
Yes, this project has been identified in the Capital Improvements Plan and it is included in the adopted 2008
Weld County Budget.
b. How did the applicant develop project cost estimates? If applicable, has a preliminary architectural/engineering
study been completed?Yes_No_X what additional design work must still be completed? Explain. (Attach
one copy of any preliminary engineering reports,architectural drawings,cost estimates,detailed project budget.)
Attached is the preliminary project estimate. Costs were determined by Weld County Public Works based upon
recently bid projects.
5. Management Capacity
a. For construction, renovation or equipment acquisition projects, does the applicant maintain reserve funds for
capital improvement, or replacement of equipment items?
Yes, Weld County Government maintains a strong contingency fund of$ 5.4 million
b. Are taxes, user charges and fees established at a level that allows the applicant to maintain and operate its
current facilities and the proposed project services on a self-sufficient basis?
Yes, Weld County's 2008 Operating Budget is $212,928,626.
c. Does the applicant have the technical, financial and managerial capacity to operate and maintain the facilities or
services developed through the project for the entire life cycle? Explain. (if applicable,attach the operational/maintenance
plan for the project.)
Yes, in 2007, Weld County managed the construction of several construction projects including: $17,000,000 for
the expansion of the Weld County Jail, $4,000,000 for the construction of the Alternative Project, and oversaw
the construction of numerous roadway projects within Weld County.
Page 6 of 6 Pages
d. Have a number of implementation options been considered? Can the project be accomplished within budget?
Are contingencies considered within the project budget? Does the project duplicate service capacity already
established? (Has consolidation of services with another provider been considered?)
The project will be completed within budget. Weld County has a proven history in construction management
projects. For example, all of the projects listed above were built with minimal time delays and well within
established budgets.
e. Has the applicant managed similar projects in the past with success?
Yes, as previously stated, Weld County has the proven expertise and history of managing projects of this
complexity.
