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.
The proposed use of this property is a dairy located on two contiguous parcels totaling approximately
160.41 acres. Activities will include milking dairy cows; feeding, housing and raising replacement stock;
storing and processing feed; storing and composting manure; storing and maintaining dairy equipment;
and farming. Supporting infrastructure includes buildings and corrals for livestock husbandry,
equipment storage, maintenance facilities, waste management control structures and one existing
residence. This proposal is for 10,000 cattle, new corral areas, new dairy parlor, manure storage and
composting, and storm water/process wastewater containment. The 10,000hd of cattle will not exceed
5,000hd of milking cows; the remainder will be a mixture of calves, heifers, bull, springers, and dry
cows.
The facility will be operated under applicable local, state and federal regulations as well as standard and
traditional Dairy Farm operating and best management practices.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan).
Section 22-2-60 A.Goal.1 states"Conserve agricultural land for agricultural purposes which foster the
economic health and continuance of agriculture". 1.A.Policy 1.1 states"Agricultural zoning will be
established and maintained and promote the County's agricultural industry. Agricultural zoning is
intended to provide areas for agricultural activities and other uses interdependent upon agriculture."
The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan through the preservation,
enhancement and growth of agriculture. The facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly
related to or dependent upon agriculture. The proposed site is not located within a flood hazard zone, a
geologic hazard zone or airport overlay zone. The property use is necessary in Weld County to
preserve the agricultural economic base historically attributed to the area. Typically, dairy operations
contribute 2.5 times their gross sales into the local economy.
The proposed request is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plans support of agricultural
activities.
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.
This proposal meets the intent of the agricultural zone district where the site is located. A livestock
confinement operation exceeding four(4) animal units per acre are permitted in the A (Agricultural) zone
district as a Use-by-Special Review. Currently there are similar uses in the area. Public health, safety
and welfare are protected through adherence to applicable county, state and federal regulations and
requirements and conditions of this permit.
4. What types of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with
surrounding land uses.
Agricultural uses that surround this site are primarily crop farming and beef production. There is also
another confined animal feeding operation within a 'A to the northeast of this site. This proposal is
compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
There is currently a septic system for the residence. An individual septic system permit has
been granted for the Milk Parlor and Individual or combined septic's will be used for Office and
other buildings if needed.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
Storage and warehousing are not proposed as the primary use of this site. Feed, livestock
bedding, manure, equipment parts and supplies typical of farming activities will be stored on
site.
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.
There will be no additional Landscaping planned.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity
occurs.
Reclamation procedures include compliance with applicable state regulations to manage solid manure
and stormwater runoff until all relative material is adequately removed. Should the facility be
permanently discontinued for use as a dairy, it would be marketed under applicable county planning and
zoning regulations to its greatest and best use.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Storm water drainage will be handled by wastewater retention structures, which are designed to meet all
required regulations. The ponds will be maintained and operated in accordance with the Nutrient
Management Plan. Specific details regarding storm water management are outlined in the Nutrient
Management Plan.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled
to begin.
This facility was started as a use by right dairy built on 282.99 acres, which translates to a 1,131 hd
dairy. The property consists of the Northwest 1/4 and most of the Southwest '/.of Section 31 Township 6
North Range 63 West of the 6th P.M. excluding Lot B of RE-4090, Lot C of RE-4090 and Lot A of
corrected RE-1704, construction will began in June of 2006 and if permitted full build out could take up
to 5 years to complete.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
The manure produced at the facility will be composted or hauled off and provided to local farmers.
Storm water and process wastewater will be stored in wastewater retention structures, which are
designed to meet all required regulations. No hazardous material storage is proposed for this site.
Stormwater and wastewater will be periodically land applied at agronomic rates. Details of the manure
management system are outlined in the Nutrient Management Plan. Debris and refuse will be collected
and removed by a local trash service, such as Waste Management or BFI.

J. PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN TRANSPORT—61.17(8)(c)(x)(A)(continued)
On sites for which the facility must complete a Colorado Phosphorus Index Risk Assessment,the following best management
practices will be incorporated,if applicable:
(A) Phosphorus-based manure and process wastewater application rates will be made to an application site where the risk of
off-site phosphorus transport is scored as high.
(B) No application of manure or process wastewater will be made to a land application site where the risk of off-site
phosphorus transport is rated as very high. (Where the initial assessment of a land application site is scored as very high,
the facility has a three-year period within which to manage the site for the purpose of lowering the phosphorus transport
risk assessment rating to high or less. During this period,manure or process wastewater may be applied to the site at either
nitrogen-or phosphorus-based rates.)
(C) No application of manure or process wastewater will be made to a land application site where the risk of off-site nitrogen
transport to surface water is not minimized.
(D) Where a multi-year phosphorus application was made to a land application site,no additional manure or process
wastewater will be applied to the same site in subsequent years until the applied phosphorus has been removed from the
site via harvest and crop removal.
After an initial assessment is made of potential for phosphorus and/or nitrogen transport from a land application site to surface water,
additional assessments will be made at the following frequency,whichever is sooner:
Both phosphorus and nitrogen transport risk Every 5 years
Where a crop management change has occurred For phosphorus-Assess within 1 year after such a change would
reasonably result in an increase in the transport risk assessment
score.
For nitrogen-Assess within I year after such a change would
reasonably result in the nitrogen transport to surface water not
being minimized.
Where a phosphorus transport risk assessment score was very Assess phosphorus transport risk within 6 months of intending to
high apply manure or process wastewater,except where the initial
assessment is scored as very high,then there shall be a three-year
period within which to manage the site for the purpose of
lowering the phosphorus transport risk assessment rating to high
or less. During this period,manure or process wastewater may
be applied to the site at either nitrogen-or phosphorus-based
rates.

Introduction
This supplemental Management Plan for Nuisance Control has been developed and implemented
to identify methods that Monte Vista 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. Monte Vista Dairy, LLC will use
these management and control practices, to their best and practical extent.

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
Monte Vista 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 Monte Vista
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
will be managed to minimize dust.
2. Regular manure removal
Monte Vista 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.

Monte Vista Dairy,LLC
AGPROfessionals,LLC
Monte Vista Dairy, LLC will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor
control:
1. 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 several times per month.
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 be 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 Monte Vista 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. Monte Vista 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, Monte Vista 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, Monte Vista 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 Monte Vista Dairy, LLC will use to manage
insects and rodents are to first eliminate possible habitat and then reduce the available food
supply.

Pest Control
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 Monte Vista 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 determined nuisance conditions from pest such as flies and rodents persist,
Monte Vista Dairy, LLC will initially increase the frequency of the housekeeping and
management practices outlines previously. Iffurther action is necessary, Monte Vista Dairy,
LLC will increase use of chemical controls and treatments, such as fly sprays and baits and
rodendicide for pest control.
