Home My WebLink About20082029.tiff Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy,LLC AGPROfessionais,LLC • Introduction This supplemental Management Plan for Nuisance Control has been developed and implemented to identify methods that Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC, will use to minimize the inherent conditions that exist in confinement feeding operations. This supplement outlines management practices generally acceptable and proven effective at minimizing nuisance conditions. Neither nuisance management nor this supplemental plan is required by Colorado State statute or specifically outlined in the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Operations Control Regulations. This is a proactive measure to assist integration into local communities. Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will use these management and control practices, to their best and practical extent. Legal Owner, Contacts and Authorized Persons Correspondence and Contacts should be made to: Scott Cockroft Brad Cockroft 27906 WCR 388 Kersey, CO 80644 The individual(s)at this facility who is (are)responsible for developing the implementation: • maintenance and revision of this supplemental plan are listed below. Scott Cockroft Owner (Name) (Title) Brad Cockroft Owner (Name) (Title) Legal Description The confined animal feeding facility described in this NMP is located at: Lot A of Amended Recorded Exemption RE-178 being part of Section 11, Township 6N, Range 64W of the 6th P.M. 2 • EXHIBIT 2008-2029 'G- < Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy,LLC AGPROfessionals,LLC • Air Quality Air quality at and around confined animal feeding operations are affected primarily from the relationship of soil/manure and available moisture. The two primary air quality concerns at dairies are dust and odor. However, the management practices for dust or odor control are not inherently compatible. Wet pens and manure produce odor. Dry pens are dusty. The two paragraphs below outline the best management practices for the control of dust and odors that Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will use. The manager shall closely observe pen conditions and attempt to achieve a balance between proper dust and odor control. Dust Dust from pen surfaces is usually controlled by intensive management of the pen surface by routine cleaning and harrowing of the pen surface. The purpose of intensive surface management is twofold;to keep cattle clean and to reduce pest habitat. The best management systems for dust control involve moisture management. Management methods Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC shall use to control dust are: 1. Pen density Moisture will be managed by varying stocking rates and pen densities. The animal's wet manure and urine keep the surface moist and control dust emissions. Stocking rates in new portions of the facility will be managed to minimize dust. • 2. Regular manure removal Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will continue to conduct regular manure removal. Manure removal and pen maintenance will be conducted as needed. 3. Sprinkler systems Sprinkler systems,timed appropriately, are an effective method for keeping pen surfaces moist. Dairy cattle produce significant moisture through urine and feces. Pens surfaces are extensively maintained for cattle health. 4. Water Trucks Should nuisance dust conditions arise; water tanker trucks or portable sprinkling systems may be used for moisture control on pens and roadways to minimize nuisance dust conditions. Odor Odors result from the natural decomposition processes that start as soon as the manure is excreted and continue as long as any usable material remains as food for microorganisms living everywhere in soil,water and the manure. Odor strength depends on the kind of manure, and the conditions under which it decomposes. Although occasionally unpleasant,the odors are not dangerous to health in the quantities customarily notices around animal feeding operations and fields where manure is spread for fertilizer. 3 • Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy,LLC AGPROfessionals,LLC • .--� Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor control: I. Establish good pen drainage Dry manure is less odorous than moist manure. The dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and surface harrowing to reduce standing water and dry or remove wet manure. 2. Regular manure removal Reduce the overall quantity of odor producing sources. The dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and harrowing as needed. 3. Composting Reduces volume, nutrients and minimizes odor and pests. 4. Reduce standing water Standing water can increase microbial digestion and odor producing by-products. Proper pen maintenance and surface grading will he conducted by the dairy to reduce standing water. The stormwater ponds will be dewatered regularly in accordance with the Manure and Wastewater Management Plan for Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC. No chemical additives or treatments of the stormwater ponds for odor control are planned. Research to date indicates poor efficacy, if any, of these products. • 5. Land application timing Typically air rises in the morning and sinks in the evening. Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will consider weather conditions and prevailing wind direction to minimize odors from land application. If it is determined that nuisance dust and odor conditions persist, Brad and Scott Cockrofis Dairy, LLC may increase the frequency of the respective management practices previously outline such as pen cleaning, surface grading and pen maintenance. Additionally, if nuisance conditions continue to persist beyond increased maintenance interval controls, Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will install physical or mechanical means such as living windbreaks and/or solid fences to further minimize nuisance conditions from dust and odors. Insects and rodents inhabit areas that 1) have an adequate to good food supply and 2) foster habitat prime for breeding and living. Key practices Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will use to manage insects and rodents are to first eliminate possible habitat and then reduce the available food supply. Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will control flies by: Pest Control 4 • Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy,LLC AGPROfessionals,LLC • Insects and Rodents 1. Regular manure removal and composting Manure management removes both food sources and habitat 2. Reduce standing water Standing water is a primary breeding ground for insects 3. Minimize fly habitat Standing water, weeds and grass,manure stockpiles, etc.,are all prime habitat for reproduction and protection. Reduce or eliminate these areas where practical. 4. Weeds and grass management Keep weeds and grassy areas to a minimum. These provide both protection and breeding areas. 5. Minimize stockpiles or storage of manure Stockpiles of manure provide both breeding and protective habitat. Keep stockpile use to a minimum. 6. Biological treatments Parasitic wasps are excellent biological fly control and are widely used. The wasps lay their eggs in fly larvae hindering fly reproduction. • 7. Baits and chemical treatments Due to environmental and worker's safety concerns, chemical treatments are a last line of defense for insect control. Baits and treatments must be applied routinely. However, they are very effective. Rodent control at Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC is best achieved by minimizing spillage of feedstuffs around the operation. Good housekeeping practices and regular feedbunk cleaning, site grading and maintenance are used to reduce feed sources. Rodent traps and chemical treatments are effective control methods and will be used as necessary. In the event it is determines nuisance conditions from pest such as flies and rodents persist, Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will initially increase the frequency of the housekeeping and management practices outlines previously. Iffurther action is necessary, Brad and Scott Cockrofts Dairy, LLC will increase use of chemical controls and treatments, such as fly sprays and baits and Rodendicide for pest control. 5 • ,.... - ' II - 1 ti 1 p • EXHIBIT • 1 bath - 05e.ilug . , • . .

What is Pyrethrum Product Label & MSDS rl,tiaf1 i,yalnt'"rli" I Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide produced primarily in the flowers of Tanacetum Organic Cer Hticote cinerariaefolium, a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. Pyrethrum plants have historically been grown in commercial quantities in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Papua Performance Data New Guinea. Over the past decade. Tasmania and Uganda began producing pyrethrum. Links - Today Kenya and Tasmania are the largest pyrethrum growing and producing countries. FAQ In East Africa the mature pyrethrum flowers are picked by hand, sun dried to remove ' moisture, and sent to a processing plant for extraction of the active ingredient-pyrethrins, + k r! a mixture of six closely related esters. In Tasmania the flowers have been bred to synchronously flower so they can be mechanically harvested. As in Africa, the flowers are sun dried and processed to produce the insecticide pyrethrum. I i c- '/ ` Pyrethrum is an ancient insecticide. The insecticide properties of the flowers were documented in the early 1800's but it is suspected that the flowers were used to kill t^, insects a considerable time earlier. The first commercially available products were powders made from ground flowers and later crude oil extractions became popular. 4�°sf► 8 Today. the refining of crude pyrethrum extract to remove the plant material, waxes, etc. is a highly complex process resulting in a product that is clear and free of allergens. _ , Pyrethrum has been used effectively to control insects for decades and is non-persistent, decomposing rapidly in the environment. This rapid degradation of pyrethrum has resulted in little known cases of insect resistance making it an excellent choice for the • control of agricultural pests. From a toxicological viewpoint. pyrethrum has been extensively studied. It is low in acute toxicity to man and other vertebrate animals, is non—carcinogenic, causes no adverse reproductive affects and is non-mutagenic. PyGanict" Crop Protection Products from MGK contain a new and unique form of pyrethrum and are listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI)for use in organic production. Until now, no other pyrethrum product has achieved this listing. Through proprietary technological advances, MGK has successfully developed a product that is compliant with organic practices and maintains all the desirable attributes of pyrethrum—flush, rapid knockdown, kill, and minimal environmental impact. PyGanic is effective in killing over 40 agricultural pests and is approved for use on over 200 crops and ornamentals. A few of the more important pests controlled by PyGanic include; glassy winged sharpshooter, Colorado potato beetle, stink bug, aphids. thrips, and loopers Copyright @ 2005 McLaughlin Gormley Key Company.All dgho reserved. • http://www.pyganic.com/tpl_pyrethrum.asp 9/10/2007 EXHIBIT r(tipza t • -P--till 444 .. y.dl�r'�tat +d Ariseft r•mit%. .

My wife and I taking time off from our own work for the fourth time in 6 months to yet again address one of our many concerns of the Aurora dairy. Flies. I knew before we bought our 80 acre farm in 1998, built our home, and moved my business to that location in 2001, the Cockroft family had a dream of someday having a dairy on the location directly east of what is now my property. I fully expected that at some time they would move their current operation from along the South Platte River to a new location near my property. I knew this could bring more activity to the area and the possibility of flies. I know dairies have the • possibility of being an excellent breading ground for flies. I grew up on a dairy. My dad was a dairy farmer. In November of 2005, my family watched as the Cockroft brothers commenced the huge task of building a new dairy. I never dreamed that it would be a facility that they would build under the loopholes of the family farm use by right county laws, only to exploit the USR process and then lease the entire facility and property to corporate America. I come with great disappointment. When we told our neighbors we were going to attend the first public planning meeting, our neighbors told us to not waste the time. They said the dairy would be allowed to do whatever they wanted because of being a big corporation and who they were. • We didn't believe this so we attended the meetings and voiced our concerns. We watched as our county officials' 000d and awed • over the prospect of yet another huge corporate dairy coming into existence. We quietly listened as our planners spent more time discussing curb and wheel stops that were to be installed inside the dairies facility than was spent addressing our concerns over an uncontrolled intersection on the public roads now impacted by the traffic of the dairy. When we could no longer stand being brushed off from one official to another, one department to another, we got our selves asked to leave the meetings. I'm sure by now you have heard more than you ever wanted to know about flies and fly problems. But, I have heard that if you are controlling your flies properly, you will have a hard time deciding if there are no flies because of • what you are doing to control them or are there just no flies?. Did Aurora Dairy just do an experiment this summer to see what would happen if they did nothing? Or do they think that they can get away with destroying our neighborhood and reaping the dollars associated with the organic market. You have heard about all of the spraying being done on the surrounding neighbors and I appreciate Aurora's effort to try to control the flies I now live with, but maybe if they would fix the fly problem at the source, they would not have to attempt a fix on my property where we are seeing the result of the fly problem every single day. Right now, I will agree with my neighbors. This dairy seems to be • able to get away with whatever they want to do and however they want to operate. • I now expect you, my county officials to address this huge issue. Prove to me that we, the neighbors of the dairy are wrong and the USR process really does work. Reign this dairy in and get rid of the flies and health issues associated with them. 9 -� Wi,- Jimmie L.

Alter enduring what we had all summer and to set in that hearing and listen to Aurora's CEO; " ' and staff mislead the proceedings and act as they had done nothing wrong, brought out some real emotions that I am not proud of. When Aurora came back after their recess to place $250,000 in an account with the county was like a sharp stick in our eyes. I understand their intent; it was just tough to hear their Lawyer state that if we didn't want any of the money, they could donate it to a charity of our choice. From that point my blood pressure was on the rise. A couple of things stand out for me, one being a comment that Mr. Peprazac made regarding how they could not afford any decrease in animal units at High Plains according to their business plan. If they were depopulating the Platteville sight, where are those 3,000 head going. The answer is, they are going to the two new sights in Texas that Aurora is bringing on line. I think that they would have handled a couple of hundred more cows. I would like to see that business plan to see if in fact they had budgeted for fly control and money to create a functioning compost field to manage their waste. They gave any number of reasons why their composting failed. It's hotter in Florida and • Texas where they compost, or the USDA's Organic rules limited what they could do. I contend that it's all about the money for Aurora; they could have brought in organic biomass to establish their composting. Instead did noting until their compost field got full then they started their liquid affluent land application. I guess that they failed to also mention that they do compost at the Platteville sight. The same goes for fly control; when you decide not to spend the money. You may experience a fly infestation. When Scott Cockroff stood before you, he gave an excellent overview of the science of composting. The problem is that Scott is not the operator of this facility. Aurora should have been the ones before you showing their expertise in the area, if they are the outstanding Diarists that Scott had described. There is also an issue as to where the land application decision actually came from. It would have been helpful to hear from Randy Checketts the General Manager of High Plains. Scott Cockroff also told you how they had never received any complaints all the time they have owned and operated that property. Two things come to mind, one was that all their manure applications were in the winter and secondly, they didn't operate a dairy there. There should have been at least one complaint against them. Several winters ago they were stockpiling manure to be spread. One would think that if you have 160 acres that you would not stock pile directly across the road from one of your neighbors. I had to convince my wife that having some of the most odoriferous manure I have ever experienced, 115 feet from our front door did not warrant turning in our neighbor to the health department. Boy was I wrong. • Since our hearing I had a couple of questions to the Health Department that they didn't have an answer for. One concerned a question I had regarding High Plains USR permit. If EXHIBIT Shoo;(ats-VabVI - ► • there were outstanding issues on that USR, is it valid or does it revert back to their Use by Right permit. I also had a question how the animal units head counts were actually obtained. If they just accepted the operators number or was there a check and balance system in place to satisfy that number. When I was preparing my remarks to bring before you, I thought that I would stay on target and only address the issues before us and not bring up any of Aurora's other issues that they now have to defend. Including the real reasons for having to depopulate the Platteville sight. Now that I understand the format of the hearing I would have prepared much more against Aurora and how they conduct business as I feel that it would have been relevant to our cause. That cause was to have the opportunity to tell our side and to hopefully have Aurora work under the management plan that they had put into place and you approved when they were granted a permit to operate in our neighborhood. What I find really sad is the fact that we did not meet any of the Aurora Dairy Corporation Management team until it got to this point. This goes for the Cockroff's as well. This should have been the first thing to happen, even before the first load of dirt was moved. This would have done a lot to build a relationship in the neighborhood. In closing I would again like to say thanks for listening to our side of the issue and if you have any questions for me, feel free to contact me at home at 454-3626 or my cell 274- 2315. My concerns today are that Aurora does the right thing in taking care of our • properties and that Aurora does every thing right until August 13th and goes back to doing business as usual after that point.

D ric :O.; ch From: Marc Peperzak [mailto:MarcP@AuroraOrganic.com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 6:39 PM To: William Garcia Subject: Yesterday' s Hearing I was unable yesterday to respond to explain myself or apologize for my comments which I believe you misconstrued, and which you commented on subsequently during the hearing. I truly did not intend to offend or demean you or the County Commission in any way, with my turn of the phrase "I got that joke" , as to to the suggestion of punishment for our management mistakes. The statement was meant to communicate my understanding of the seriousness of the proceedings. It was a left handed comment, much like using the word "bad" to communicate "good" at its extreme. Please know that I deeply respect our democracy and our government institutions, particularly local ones, which is what America is all about. I probably have stronger feelings than most about this because I am a naturalized immigrant citizen who is very proud to be an American. And yes, English is my •cond language and I do screw up occasionally on how I use idioms. I have worked hard to d myself of any accent. I have been quite involved in Republican politics nationally and locally in different parts of the country over the years and gotten to befriend and respect many fine citizen legislators. I have run for office and lost. I do feel like the lone Republican in Boulder. Boulderites do not particularly like the large US flag we fly over our home. Bottom line, I do respect and admire folks like you who tirelessly undertake the responsibility of serving as County Commissioners with very little reward. And yes, of course, you have a responsibility to the "neighbors" who were demanding action from the Commissioners. I do nonetheless believe (and am grateful) that the Commission made the right decision. We will do our best to prove that you made the correct decision. On a different score, I believe you and your colleagues may know little about what Aurora Dairy is, and has been doing in the County. (Our fault ! ) I would be honored and pleased to spend some time with you to review what we are up to, and how we can perhaps be mutually helpful as we handle what are likely in many cases mutual issues. We impact a lot of folks and issues. We ship over $100 million of dairy product to all 50 states from one of the most sophisticated efficient plants in America, our plant in Weld County, to the 20 leading retailers in America. We employ directly and indirectly hundreds of Weld County residents. We have significant housing, medical care, retirement, immigration programs for all of workers including our milkers and laborers. I am proud of what we have accomplished and also embarrassed as to how that pride comes out occasionally as arrogance.

CO 80632 RE: Environmental matter Our File Number: 1923-001 Dear Mr. Barker: This law firm represents Steven and Deborah Pirera with regard to review of Case No. USR 1602 for compliance with the Conditions of Approval and the Development Standards as approved by the Board of the County Commissioners alon July 11. 2007, and the possible reeocation thereof. Our clients have brought to our attention the fact that under the above sited Case, the Aurora Organic Diary operation has, on its premises, animal units in excess of the units allowed as a Use By Right. The Use By Right for this particular dairy operation is 3.200 head. (800 acres x 4 animal units per acre). The fact is that the animal units, now present on the diary, are in excess of 4.000 head. This excess places Aurora Diary in violation of the Weld County Code and has lead to a serious fly infestation at the Pirera's home, as well as infestation of other homes in the alca. It is our information that this serious violation will not be reviewed by the Weld County Board of Commissioners until August of 2008, thus permitting the dairy to perpetuate its nuisance for another year on the Pirera's land. This letter is to place the County on notice that we believe the County Commissioners may he liable ibr damages at to the Pireras in that the Commissioners are not enforcing the County Code in accordance with its terms. thus causing damage to the Pireras and their property. ill wII� <� EXHIBIT aSe� #11,c0Z 6 : Pt DLl2Vo The Pireras intend to take action against Aurora Organic Dairy and others, • perhaps including the County, to remedy the unhealthy nuisance that has been caused by the overpopulation of cattle on the Aurora Dairy property and the wanton and negligent manner in which Aurora Organic Dairy has managed its waste disposal and its relationship with its neighbors. Such negligent action has caused severe hardship for the Pireras, and blighted their property to the extent that it has become seriously devalued. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss this matter further. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, Jo Anne Hagen, Fsq.

This Exhibit supplements Section I of the Management Plan for Nuisance Control for the High Plains Dairy dated October 2007 (the "Management Plan"), which AOD submitted to the Health Department and the Commissioners on October 24, 2007. Pursuant to Section I of the Management Plan, AOD agreed to provide the Health Department with a detailed description of its composting process to be managed by Al Organics. Exhibit I hereto sets forth the contract between AOD and Al Organics and includes a detailed description of the composting process to be performed at the High Plains Dairy. Exhibit 2. This Exhibit supplements Sections 3 and 4 of the Management Plan. Pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of the Management Plan, AOD agreed to submit more detailed information about its biological control and monitoring plan that it intends to implement for the 2008 fly season. Exhibit 2 hereto sets forth a detailed outline of the biological control and monitoring plan that will be implemented for the 2008 fly season. For your information and files, I have also enclosed a copy of the letter mailed to each of the neighbors of the High Plains Dairy inviting them to attend an open house at the dairy on January 8, 2008. As described in the Management Plan, AOD is hosting this open house to describe and explain Exhibits I and 2 hereto, as well as generally facilitate the relationship between the dairy and the neighbors. AOD will provide the neighbors of the dairy with copies of Exhibits I and 2 at the open house, as well as send copies to each of the neighbors by mail. Accordingly, we would appreciate any comments that you have on the attached Exhibits prior to January 8, 2008. In addition to the foregoing Exhibits and pursuant to Development Standard G of the Special • Review Permit, AOD is required to submit an executed copy of an agreement with the property's mineral EXHIBIT I N Laurie Exby Trevor Jiricek Bruce Barker, Esq. • December 31, 2007 Page 2 owners/operators or demonstrate an "adequate attempt to mitigate the concerns of the mineral owners" before the Department of Planning will record the plat. AOD was requested by Mr. Barker to demonstrate that the parties (the Cockroft Dairy LLC and various oil companies) to the Surface Use Agreement had made an adequate attempt to finalize the agreement by January I, 2008. According to George Ottenhoff of Lind, Lawrence & Ottenhoff, LLP, the attorney for the property owner, the parties are close to finalizing the Surface Use Agreement. After the October 24th hearing, the parties exchanged two separate drafts of the agreement and have corresponded regarding the agreement. Mr. Otttenhoff anticipates finalizing the agreement pending resolution of one outstanding issue. AOD has offered to assist Mr. Ottenhoff with the negotiations to facilitate a final resolution of the Surface Use Agreement. We believe that the drafts of the Surface Use Agreement exchanged between the parties, as well as the communications between the parties, evidence an adequate attempt to finalize the agreement.

Enclosures • {ClientA 1153\36V02044101.DOC/} • December 17, 2007 Dear ... I am writing to you on behalf of Aurora Organic Dairy (AOD) to introduce myself and our new High Plains farm manager, Bill Cronin. Bill has been with Aurora for 25 years and, after building and running our new Texas farms for several months, has come back to Colorado to run our High Plains dairy farm. He was one of the people who developed this dairy location and, as a result, is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about this particular farm, specifically, and organic dairy agriculture, in general. I have recently joined AOD and am managing communications and community relations for the company. With Bill being situated at our High Plains farm and me at our home office in Boulder, we wanted you to know that you can contact us any time you have any questions or concerns about AOD. We know you were in contact with Randy Checketts previously and, unfortunately, he has moved on to pursue another opportunity. So, we felt it would be appropriate to introduce ourselves and invite you to an informal Town Hall meeting at our High Plains Dairy. Who: AOD CEO, Marc Peperzak and Farm Management team What: Community Town Hall Meeting Where: Aurora High Plains Dairy, New Frontier Conference Room • When: Tuesday,January 8, 2008 at 6 p.m. In addition to meeting you face-to-face, we would like to share with you our plans for nuisance control to ensure the fly situation from last summer doesn't repeat itself. We have put a comprehensive pest management plan in place and are consulting with a leading entomologist from Kansas State University to help us manage pest control while ensuring compliance with USDA National Organic Regulations. We also want to take this opportunity to answer any questions you have about our farm operations and to ensure we are achieving our goal of being a good neighbor to you. We hope you will join us for this meeting. Please contact me directly to let me know if you plan to attend and how many people will be attending, as we will serve light refreshments and need to plan accordingly for the number of attendees we expect. Also, please feel free to contact me or Bill any time if you have questions or concerns about our High Plains Dairy. Our contact information follows. Bill Cronin, Farm Manager, 970.454.2420 or billc@auroraorganic.com Sonja Tuitele, Communications Director, 303.222.0637 or sonjat@auroraorganic.com I look forward to meeting you on Jan. 8`h!

Aurora Dairy has constructed a compost site that will be provided for this operation. Aurora Dairy will deliver the waste streams to the site during targeting composting periods through existing dairy cleaning practices. The dairy currently uses free stall design as part of their dairy operation.. This design produces liquid manure streams as well as standard manure waste that will need to be handled as part of this process. The liquid streams will require the incorporation of carbon sources such as ground wood or green waste to provide structure and porosity in the composting process. Al will provide the required carbon sources to effectively handle the wet manure streams as part of its service agreement. The long-term objective of the project will be to minimize wet manure conditions that provide potential sources of both odor and nuisance conditions. Through a combination of manure handling techniques we believe we can minimize also the required purchase volumes of carbon sources as required to compost adequately, however, there should be an expectation of higher volumes of ground material during the initial startup period. • Al is proposing that liquid handling equipment now owned by the dairy be modified for direct application of wet manure to windrows of composting material. The incorporation of liquid directly into high-temperature process material can decrease the amount of time required to drive out moisture content as well as minimize nuisance conditions surrounding liquid manure. It does require significant volumes of in-process material to effectively handle large quantities of liquid and so the start up phase will target the construction of windrows to be used in this fashion. Al operates one of the largest straddle windrow turners on the market. This unit has a trailer package that allows mobility between production sites. This turner would be used in conjunction with other Al sites and would be billed out only on volume turned. This equipment will ensure that windrows are aerated properly during the composting process to maintain adequate heat for pathogen destruction and long-term odor minimization. Al has had the best success in developing programs where it supervises direct involvement of the composting process. We have found that the most effective way to provide this is to assign one of our production operators to the site. Our proposal requires that the base loader and operator will be provided by Al whereas this operator will also serve as the site supervisor during targeted compost periods. This supervisor works directly with Al management and Dairy management to coordinate all site activities. As additional equipment resources like loaders are needed, the dairy may wish to provide this equipment to minimize cost depending on availability. During non-targeted compost periods the Diary will use existing equipment to maintain the cleanliness of the compost site including the removal and management of any standing surface water. The dairy is also committed to converting existing sand bedding into compost bedding applications. This conversion process can be accomplished in two ways. Al will provide an option to purchase prepared bedding material from outside sources until adequate volumes of bedding can be produced II) • within the compost program operated onsite. Another less desirable option will be to phase out the use of sand over time as internal bedding volumes are developed. This is less desirable in that sand content within manure streams can inhibit compost breakdown and thus slow clown the overall process as well as hinder temperature ranges targeted for pathogen destruction. Compost that is not used back into the dairy process as bedding will be used for nutrient applications on pastureland operated by the dairy. Al will produce mature compost product for this use. Through proper composting the product available for land application will be tested for pathogen destruction along with nutrient values. This material will also have consistent moisture content to enhance application effectiveness. Al intends to apply its experience and developed processes fully to the project. Our composting proposal will have an initial term of 3 years from the date of initial compost activity. The proposal will automatically renew for successive three-year periods unless either party notifies the other of intent to terminate 60 days prior to the end of the then current proposal. Although we don't believe any segment of this process is proprietary we do have an interest in protecting our long history of process development. Al would propose that we agree to price mechanisms within the agreement that would allow us to work with the dairy to evaluate cost structures annually. Rising fuel prices for example, represent changing conditions that may impact service fees. Al maintains a rigorous compost sampling and lab-testing schedule at its various sites. As part of the project management at the dairy, Al would take monthly random samples, maintain chain of custody requirements, and submit to its contracted laboratories for analysis. The resulting analysis would then be provided to the dairy each month. Upon request of the Dairy, Al will also perform additional sampling or lab testing with those incremental fees and charges passed on to the dairy as indicated on the service agreement. • Al has developed a tracking and database software packages that tracks a number of required parameters including windrow construction, Production identification numbers, temperature records, pathogen reduction qualification charts, turning and process tracking, and monthly inventory reports. Al would setup a database segment that would be dedicated to the data collected at the dairy. 10% of in-process volumes would be documented to provide site data. These reports would then be provided to dairy as requested. A sample of these reports has been attached.

Pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of the Management Plan, AOD agreed to provide the Weld County Department of Health and Environment more detailed information regarding its proposed biological control and monitoring plan, which AOD intends to implement in 2008, to control fly populations at the High Plains Dairy (the "Dairy"). Accordingly, this Addendum 1 outlines the proposed biological control and monitoring plans for fly control, which AOD will implement in the spring of 2008. The procedures set forth herein may need to be amended and/or modified during or after the 2008 fly season depending upon the success of the procedures described below, and the Health Department will be notified of any such modifications. • The Program (as defined herein) set forth below was created by Dr. Broce, Ph.D., Department of Entomology Kansas State University. In creating this program, Dr. Broce visited and conducted research at the Dairy in the fall of 2007. AOD intends to use Dr. Broce as a consultant for the 2008 fly season. As a consultant, Dr. Broce is expected to visit the Dairy in March, May and July. During his visits, he will train certain employees of AOD, and such training will include placement of fly traps and identification of fly larvae. In addition, Dr. Broce will collect flies to conduct studies at his laboratory in Kansas and review the data collected by AOD. BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AND MONITORING PLAN This Integrated Pest Management Program (the "Program") outlines the procedures that will be implemented by AOD to control fly populations at the Dairy. Two types of flies are present at the Dairy (1) house flies, Musca domestica, and (2) stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans. Accordingly, this Program was designed to eliminate and reduce the foregoing species of flies. The Program will include the implementation of (a) biological control agents, (b) cultural and/or sanitation control, such as elimination of larval developmental sites, and (c) mechanical control, such as window screening. The proven most cost-effective • control measure against house flies and stable flies is the use of sanitation control. {ClientA 1153\36V02043975.DOC/41 • A. MONITORING PLAN. Integrated Pest Management ("IPM") programs are based on various operational principles. One of the key principles of an IPM plan is that pest population levels determine when and how control measures should be implemented. Consequently, monitoring the population dynamics of the pest is basic for any IPM program. Monitoring population dynamics allows for the continuous evaluation of the efficacy of applied control strategies, but most importantly, it signals impending population explosions, which permits plan managers to undertake proactive control measures. In addition, the collection of data from population monitoring plans allows plan managers to understand population dynamics and assists with the anticipation of annual ups and downs of fly populations. The ability to anticipate increases and decreases in fly populations, allows a plan manager to release an adequate number of biological control agents to get ahead of problems before they arise. AOD will implement two separate monitoring plans for the flies present at the Dairy because house and stable flies have distinct biological differences, specifically, their feeding habits. 1. Monitoring Plan for House Flies. Spot cards. AOD will use spot cards as its primary method for monitoring house • flies ("Spot Card Monitoring"). AOD will implement Spot Card Monitoring by placing 3 x 5 white index cards on surfaces preferred and frequented by house flies as resting sites. Selection of sites for placement of cards is critical and will be based on previous observations of sites of resting flies or on existing accumulations of fly fecal and regurgitate spots. AOD will place the spot cards at the Dairy at the following locations: Dairy office, parlor breezeway, shop, maternity room, wall outside the east parlor, wall outside the west parlor, front entrance alley, brake room, pen 1, pen 4, pen 5, pen 8, pen 9, pen 13 and pen 16. AOD will place the cards at eye-level and will maintain the position of the cards with pins or adhesive tape. The spot cards will be exposed for approximately one week. After the spot card has been exposed, AOD will record the total number of grey, yellow, and brown spots (black spots are made only by stable flies) on the spot cards. In analyzing the spot card data, AOD will pool the number of spots on cards from similar habitats (loafing areas, milk parlors, etc.) and results will be input on graphs that will reflect the average number of spots per week per habitat. 2. Monitoring Plan for Stable Flies. Alsynite cylinder traps. AOD will monitor the population of stable flies by using Alsynite cylinder traps. D. Williams (a USDA researcher at Florida) discovered the strong attraction of stable flies toward Alsynite®O, a fiberglass plastic widely used for • skylights and greenhouses. Williams used this plastic to make a trap consisting of four, 1- square-foot vanes on which an adhesive was applied. Broce (KSU) made a 1-foot- [Client\I 153\36A02043975.DOC/4 2 • diamater by 12-inch-high cylinder trap which was adopted as the standard stable fly trap for being more efficient and easier to operate. The cylinder is attached to a wooden stake with the trap's bottom placed 1 foot off the ground and covered with a thin plastic film coated with adhesive. AOD will install the cylinder traps on the four cardinal points around the Dairy because these areas are not too dusty and such areas are protected from the curiosity of the cattle. When servicing a trap, the adhesive-coated plastic is removed from the trap, and then attached to a protective non-sticky clear film. Trapped stable flies can be seen through the clear film and identified by the stout proboscis extending forward from under the head. AOD will leave the traps for approximately 1 week, provided that under dusty or high fly population conditions, more frequent trap servicing may be required. 3. Monitoring Plan for Housefly and Stable fly larval development. The most reliable method to predict fly population increases is to inspect their potential habitats for the presence of immature forms (eggs, larvae, and pupae). Therefore, AOD will monitor the accumulated, older manure, paying particular attention to changes in the manure surface where the surface has changed from smooth to being riddled by small holes. This change likely will predict when fly populations are on the increase. • The habitat inspections addressed above will be used on the pastures as well. If fly larvae are found on these pastures, traps can be used to monitor fly emergence. These traps—called pyramidal emergence traps — consist of a square wooden base (such as 20 X 20) with a square pyramidal cone of window screen attached; at the pyramid's vertex, a clear cup with an inverted cone is attached. To operate it, the trap wooden base is pushed into the ground and flies captured as they emerge from the manure. 4. Monitoring Housefly and Stable fly populations on Adjacent Property. In addition to the monitoring plans that will be conducted at the Dairy, AOD intends to place spot cards on the residences of four adjacent neighbors. The spot cards will be placed in an area on the property that is protected from the rain and mutually agreeable to the neighbor and AOD. AOD will collect data from the spot cards approximately once a week; provided that, the spot cards may be exposed for a shorter or longer period of time if the conditions warrant changing the length of exposure. The foregoing monitoring plan will be implemented presuming the adjacent neighbors are amenable to participating in such monitoring plan. B. BIOLOGICAL CONTROL PLAN. House flies and stable flies, like every other insect, have a guild of natural • enemies that include parasitic wasps, predatory beetles and mites, and fly pathogens. The parasitic wasps have been studied the most, and therefore, have been extensively {ClientAI 153\36A02043975DOC/4} 3 • integrated into fly management programs. Accordingly, AOD will use parasitic wasps as its biological control agent. These parasitic wasps are harmless to humans and animals. In addition, the parasitic wasps are tiny, cannot fly long distances, and normally go unnoticed in dairy barns. Nonetheless, the parasitic wasps are effective in finding and killing developing fly pupae for house and stable flies. The time it takes for a fly to go through its life cycle is 12 days in the summer; this results in a high growth potential for its population. Conversely, parasitic wasps require about 3 weeks to complete a life cycle. Accordingly, to ensure that parasitic wasps are a successful tool in managing fly populations, the releases of these biocontrol agents must be done frequently and at appropriate rates. 1. Initiating releases of fly pupal parasites. Initiating the release of the parasitic wasps will be based upon the first historical frost free day in Colorado, which is April 26th. Accordingly, AOD plans to release the parasitic wasps on April 26th. However, if adult house flies are already active, this date could be advanced for one-to-two weeks given that parasitic wasps can protect themselves in microhabitats, potentially moving the release date to April 12th. Annual ending point for parasite releases will be considered around the first frost date for the • region, which is October 14th. 2. Level of parasite releases. There are various commercial suppliers of parasitic wasps in the USA and in Canada; the quality of the products varying widely. AOD has elected to purchase parasitic wasps from Beneficial Insectaries (considered one of the suppliers with a better track record). This company provides house fly pupae parasitized by two species of gregarious Muscidi%urnx wasps, M. raptor and M. raptorellus. Parasitized house fly pupae are provided in pouches at thc rate of 25,000 pupae per pouch; but because the gregarious nature of these particular species, the yield is expected to be greater than 50,000 adult parasites from a pouch. AOD will release approximately 20 pouches per week at the Dairy, a release rate of approximately 1 million wasps per week. Depending on fly population dynamics and the levels of pupal parasitization determined by monitoring plans described above, AOD may modify the rate of wasps released. 3. Sites for parasitic wasp releases. The most effective release points are those near larval habitats with active larval populations; such habitats will be identified by monitoring efforts (such as those recommended herein). In the absence of available wind and sun protected release sites, simple but effective release shelters will be constructed and deployed in areas suspected or proven to be active larval habitats. In the absence of information on larval habitats, • release sites will be selected on a regular pattern throughout the Dairy grounds, but t Diem A 153\36V02043975DOC/4 4 • preferring sites located upwind from the grounds so wind-dispersed wasps have a greater chances of coming in contact with their pupal hosts. 4. Effectiveness of Parasitic Wasps. AOD will ensure that the releases of the parasitic wasps are effectively reducing the fly population by determining the level of pupal parasitism. The pupal parasitism technique will allow AOD to determine how many fly larvae are being killed by the parasitic wasps. If a large number of fly larvae continue to be alive, AOD can modify this Program, which may include, but not be limited to, changing the release location of the parasitic wasps, releasing more parasitic wasps, or changing when such wasps are released. The technique to determine the level of pupal parasitism is as follows: Pupae will be collected from existing larval habitats, making sure to collect only red, dark pupae indicative of older pupae (>2 days old) and avoiding the younger brown, light pupae. This ensures the collection of pupae that have been exposed to the parasitic wasps. To be able to determine the percentage of solitary (one parasite developing per pupae) and gregarious (more than one parasite per pupa) species of parasites, collected pupae will be held individually in large gelatin capsules or in small containers such as vials. Holding the pupae specimens in these containers for 17 days will allow flies and • wasps to emerge and thus record the number of solitary and gregarious parasites, the number of non-parasitized but killed pupae, and the number of live non-parasitized pupae. C. REPORTS TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AOD would like to work in conjunction with the Health Department to implement this Program. Accordingly, AOD will provide the Health Department with the following information on May 30, 2008, July 30, 2008, and September 30, 2008: • A Monitoring Plan Report. This report will include graphs that summarize the data collected from the Spot Card Monitoring and Alsynite cylinder traps. • Biological Control Report. This report will include the number of parasitic wasps released during the two month period, the location of the release, and the results of the pupal parasitism tests performed during such period. • {ClientA1153\36A02043 775.DOC/1 5 • July 30, 2008 To: Board of County Commissioners of Weld County Colorado From: Jim & Pat Noah 28545 WCR 72 Gill CO 80624 RE: Special Review Permit #1602 Gentlemen, Our house and property is located on the North end of the Aurora Dairy property approximately 1\3 mile from the milking barns and corrals. We are writing in regard to permit # USR1602 Aurora Dairy & Cockrofts Dairy. Uri cr We believe it should be granted as they are practicing good fly control plus eftheir good housekeeping practices. • Last year we did have a fly problem and they came to our house and admitted they had made a big mistake and we admire them for taking full responsibility for it, instead of trying to cover it up. As of this date the fly problem is very minimal and we believe under control with the practices they have implemented. We also believe that they are trying to be good neighbors by always being willing to offer any help that might be needed in the neighborhood. In bad weather they keep the roads open from snow (I admit it is so the milker's can get to work), but they go about a 100 yards past their driveway to keep my driveway open. We also feel that we have an open line of communication with all the people that work there, that if there is a problem with the dairy we can talk to someone and they will try to solve it without us having to go to an outside agency to get help. In conclusion we believe with the present practices the Aurora Dairy & Cockrofts Dairy should be able to expand their dairy herd.

However in 2007 the fly infestation increased in August and continued during the warm weather so it maybe too early to celebrate. The pens are very clean compared to most dairies in the local area and the surrounding fields are well kept. The compost piles are growing so recycling actions are being observed. Increased road traffic due to the dairy operation has been helped by dust control applied to the road in front of our home and hope this will continue. The Good Neighbor Milk program is very much appreciated and hope this program will also continue. Since the dairy is now part of our neighborhood the efforts to correct last years mistakes to improve the nuisance issue are appreciated and would expect them to continue in the future. Our quality of country living should not have to be compromised by poor operating practices. Thank you • Dave and Susan Blomquist 34257 WCR 57 Gill, Co.80624 davidnb50@yahoo.com August 2, 2008 • Hello
