November 18, 1983 Board of County Commissioners Weld County Greeley, Colorado ATTN: Chairman, Board of County Commissioners • Dear Sirs: Enclosed is a Special Review Application which is repectfully submitted for our client, Production Operators, Inc. , for a proposed expansion of an exist- ing natural gas liquids recovery plant located in the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 27 , Township 6 North, Range 66 West, of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. As shown on the enclosed Exhibit "A" , the site is located approximately 1/2 mile South of Weld County Road 66, and approximately 550 feet East of Weld County Road 31 . Currently, the site contains a single natural gas compressor building with a small office/storage unit, owned by Production Operators, Inc. and is under a lease agreement with the land owner, Mr. Roland Croissant. The existing operation receives and condenses raw natural gas from several gas wells within the area. The condensed gas is then put into the existing gas main (owned by Northern Natural Gas Co. ) and pumped to their main pro- cessing plants. As other oil and gas well have been drilled and are now operational, it is the intent of Production Operators, Inc. , to expand to accommodate the pro- cessing of new raw materials. As shown in the supporting documents, the site is now zoned in the "A" Agri- cultural District,which, under the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance facilitates minerals resource development. The proposed zoning will remain "A" Agricultural (Farming is prevelant among all adjacent land owners) . The proposed expansion will not affect agricultural production. The proposed site is to be expanded to the North 325 feet to accommodate additional refrigeration condensing units and storage vessels with truck haulage . There will be a concrete pad constructed to support these structures, with proper drainage around the facility to assure compatibility with the surrounding land. 1800 30th Street, Suite 219 Boulder, Colorado 80301 (303) 443-7001 Waste products will be stored and removed via truck haulage. Lighter than air by-products will be recycled and returned to system productions. The site will be fenced and locked with fire protection provided for on site. (Gas shut-off valves are shown on Exhibit "A") . Traffic will consist of truck haulage of compressed natural gas on an every other day basis. Trucks will use Weld County Road 31 to the site, and then use a graveled access road provided for by the lease agreement. With these considerations, I feel the interests and welfare of the people of Weld County shall be protected and preserved. I feel this submittal package will strictly follow guidelines set forth by Weld County for its future growth and development, and while adhering to these guidelines, will also be of benefit to all Weld County residents. Therefore, I ask that the Board of County Commisioners accept this Special Review Application for their review and approval. The expediency of this process will be greatly appreciated as construction schedules and winter weather have become a major factor to all entities concerned. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any questions please call. - Sincerely, S- 2 James S. Legge Flatirons Surveying 1 Special Review Application Form (Supporting Document) 5 a) The type of use of the proposed site is for a Natural Gas Processing Plant . b) The closest residence to the proposed site is approximately 1 mile to the north, a rental unit on Weld Co.

Traffic circulation will use County Road 31 north or south-bound and entering on the Access Road shown on Exhibit 'A. ' They will proceed east, then north along the 20' Access Road to the load-out pump or waste oil storage tanks at the northern end of the concrete pad . They will load and loop south back to the Access Road and offsite . i) NA j) There shall be two liquified gas storage tanks with haulage; one waste storage tank with haulage; one office and storage building. k) Wastes will be removed from waste storage tanks , once a month. 1) Operations construction shall involve the construction of a concrete pad (as shown in the enclosed Foundation Drawings) with a fence enclosure; separate structures will be built on the pad , and travelled access ways shall be graveled .

The • method may be used when unsilenced engine noise is unavailable or when a first approxima- tion to silenced sound levels is desired. The reduction in sound level achieved with a silencer is dependent upon the frequency distribution of the noise source. The silencer performance used herein is based on the generalized unsilenced exhaust spectrum given in reference 1. 1. INFORMATION REQUIRED a. Engine horsepower b. Type of cylinder scavenging, i.e., turbocharged or naturally aspirated. c. Silencer model 2. PROCEDURE SL' = SLo — NR dB(A) at 10 ft.

SCOPE The following report presents the results of a subsurface soil investi- cation• on a portion of the West 1/2 of Section 27 , Township 6 North, F ' 3e . 66 West, Weld County, Colorado. The investigation was performed for s _ _ral 1 structures associated with a cor,carcial petroleum facility. The prose of this investigation was to obtain the technical inforcaticn and soils pro- . 1 perty data necessary for the design and construction of foundations For the proposed structures . The conclusions and recoc,cendations presented in this report are based upon analysis of field and laboratory data and ex- LI perience with similar soils in the general vicinity. FIELD INVESTIGATION - ] • The field investigation consisted of 4 borings at selected locations 3 on the site. The borings were advanced with a 4 inch diameter continuous flight power auger. All borings were continued to depths deemed J sufficient to define subsurface conditions critical to the proposed structures and to assure soil continuity. Complete logs of the boring operation are shown on the attached plate and include visual classifications of each soil , location of soil 1 changes, standard penetration test results , and water table reasjrc,rcnt. 1 As the boring operation advanced, an index of soil relative tensity s' d consistency was obtained by use of the standard penetration test, A X :1 Standard Test D-1586. The penetration test result listed on the log is the number of blows required to drive the 2 inch split-spoon sampler one foot into undisturbed soil by a 140 pound harmer dropped 30 inches . Undisturbed samples for use in the laboratory were taken in thin wall samplers (Shelby) , pushed hydraulically into the soil . All samples were sealed in the field and preserved at natural moisture content until time 1 of test. 1 1 . I r lLABORATORY TESTING The laboratory testing program was undertaken to measure critical se=ar 1 and consolidation-swelling characteristics of the soils . , '.Jiti . al testing included Lrsts necessary to verify visual classification end 1 .5oisture content of soils from borings . All test results are s-v ari •'ed in Table 1 . 1 SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS Soils encountered at the- site are considered to be relatively uniform.] Clay, sand and silt mixtures in varying combination extend to depths of at least 17 feet across the site. Upper-level soils at conventional foundation elevations are moist to saturated at present condition. Lab- oratory testing indicates that the materials consolidate moderately 1 upon wetting and increased loading pressures . Sand content of the soils increases with depth. Highly weathered , poorly structured sandstone jwas encountered in Test Hole =1 at a depth of 17 feet. Groundwater at the time of drilling was measured at depths of 8 to 8-1/2 feet in all 1 borings . Composition and structure of the materials encountered in Test Hole No. 4 to a depth of 8-1/2 feet indicate that that area of the site is a pre- viously excavated and re-filled area. Field personnel were advised by the land owner that a slurry pit from well drilling procedures was lo- t cated near the area of Test Hole No. 4 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS iThe selection of the foundation type for a given situation and structure is governed by two basic considerations . First, the foundation must be i. designed so as to be safe against shear failure in the underlying soils ; and second, differential settlement or other vertical movement of the foundation must be controlled at a reasonable level . 2 I N 1 Two basic controls are available to us in selecting the foundati_n type and allowable loads . These are the standard penetration test and con- s solidation-swell testing . The ultimate bearing capacity of the fo naa- ! tion soil depends upon the size and shape of the foundation eli,:.ent, the I depth below the surface, and the physical characteristics of the sporting soil . 1 S At the time of this investigation we do not have access to specific building plans in terms of type of structures planned and loads that ( will be generated. Load bearing capacities of the soil will vary with soil types that will be encountered at designed footing elevations . He suggest that all foundation excavations be inspected prior to concrete placement to assure proper bearing materials . Three basic soil conditions and subsequent foundation reccnnendations are anticipated at conventional depths: 1 . Silty, sandy clay will be encountered at upper levels on the southern 1 portion of the site. Conventional spread footings designed for maximum allowable bearing capacities (live load plus dead load) of 1 ,000 p.s .f. are suggested for these materials . As an option, foundations could be over-excavated to more competent bearing materials (approximately 9 1 foot depths) and brought to desired grades with suitable fill (pit run • or comparable) recompacted to 95 of standard proctor density (AS b-D-698) . I Footings bearing on such fill should be designed for 3 .000 p.s . f. wexi; r_:m bearing. 1 2. Slightly clayey to clean sand is anticipated on the central and northern portions of the site. Spread footings may bear on this trial with designed loads ( live plus dead) not to exceed- 3,000 p. s . f. 3. The fill area that seems apparent on the extreme northern pur _ ;Jn f the site (TH =4) should be over-excavated and replaced with suitable fill imaterials (pit run) properly placed and recompacted to 950 standard proctor density (ASTM D-698) . Foundations on suitable fills may be designed for 3,000 p.s.f. maximum bearing capacity. • .1 3 I The following recommendations should he followed in the design of the foundations and the footings . 1 . All footings should be below frost depth. 2. Foundation walls should be reinforced with r-ebar to span an unsupported length of 10 feet. Reber should run continuously .rd corners and be properly spliced. 3. Foundations for individual structures should bear on uniform soil t, , s . IFLOOR SLABS 1 Slabs should be constructed "free floating, " isolated from all bearing feLers , reinforced with wire mesh, and jointed frequently. Slabs on grade should be underlain with a 3 inch layer of clean gravel or crushed rock to help distribute floor loads and provide a capillary break. Positive drainage should be provided for the gravel underlayment to prevent pooling of water beneath the slab. • LANDSCAPING AND DRAINAGE Every precaution should be taken to prevent wetting of the subsoils and percolation of water down along the foundation elements . Finished grades should be sloped away from the structures on all sides to give positive drainage. A minimum of 6 inches fall in the first 10 feet is reco7mended. Eackfill around the outside perimeter of the structures should be compacted at optimum moisture, or above, to at least 90 percent of Standard Proctor Density as determined by ASTit Standard Test D-6988. 4 A. GENERAL INFORMATION l The data presented herein were collected to help develop designs and cost Estimates for this project. Professional judgrients on design alternatives and criteria are presented in this report. These are based on evaluation of technical information gathered, partly on our understanding of the characteristics of the structures proposed, and partly on our experience with subsurface conditions in the area . Lie do not guarantee the performance of the project in any respect, only that our engineering work and judgments rendered meet the standard of care of our profession. The test holes drilled were spaced to obtain a reasonably accurate Ipicture of subsurface conditions for design purposes . Variations from - • the conditions portryaed frequently occur. These variations are soae- times sufficient to necessitate modifications in design. 1 recommend that construction be continuously observed by a qualified soils technician trained and experienced in the field to take advantage of all opportunities to recognize different conditions and minimize the 1 risk of having some undetected condition which might affect the performance of the spread footings . 5 REFERRAL LIST APPLICANT: Production Operators, Inc.
