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 two contiguous parcels totaling approximately
365 acres. Activities will include milking dairy cows, raising replacement stock, composting, and
farming. Supporting infrastructure includes buildings and corrals for livestock husbandry,
equipment storage, maintenance facilities, waste management control structures and possibly
accessory residences for employees. This proposal is for 8,000 cattle, new corral areas, new
dairy parlor, manure storage and composting, and storm water/process wastewater containment.
The facility will be operated under standard and traditional Dairy Farm operating practices 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 is 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.
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible
with surrounding land uses.

Introduction
This supplemental Management Plan for Nuisance Control has been developed and implemented
to identify methods Great Western Dairy, 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. Great Western Dairy 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
Great Western Dairy 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 Great Western
Dairy 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
Great Western Dairy 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 Feedlot
surfaces moist. Feedlot 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
Great Western Dairy
AGPROfessionals, LLC
Great Western Dairy 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 feedlot will conduct routine pen
cleaning and surface harrowing to reduce standing water and dry or remove wet manure.
1. Regular manure removal
Reduce the overall quantity of odor producing sources. The feedlot will conduct routine
pen cleaning and harrowing several times per month.
3. 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 feedlot to reduce standing
water.
The stormwater ponds will be dewatered regularly in accordance with the Manure and
Wastewater Management Plan for Great Western Dairy. 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.
4. Land application timing
Typically air rises in the morning and sinks in the evening. Great Western Dairy 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, Great Western Dairy 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, Great Western Dairy 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 Great Western Dairy will use to manage
insects and rodents are to first eliminate possible habitat and then reduce the available food
supply.
Great Western Dairy will control flies by:
Pest Control
Insects and Rodents
1. Regular manure removal

Great Western Dairy
AGPROfessionals,LLC
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 Great Western Dairy 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,
Great Western Dairy will initially increase the frequency of the housekeeping and management
practices outlines previously. Iffurther action is necessary, Great Western Daity will increase
use of chemical controls and treatments, such as fly sprays and baits and Rodendicide for pest
control.

from the sites to surface waters and will he in accordance with the following standards:
(I) An initial assessment of the potential Ibr phosphorus and nitrogen transport risk to surface water will be made prior to
manure or process wastewater being applied to an application site- There is currently no published tool suitable for
assessing nitrogen transport risk. Phosphorus and nitrogen transport risk assessment will be made using the Colorado
Phosphorus Index Risk Assessment.
The following flow chart will be used to determine whether or not a phosphorus risk assessment must be completed
for a land application sites'

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 I 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.
Where a nitrogen transport risk assessment reveals that nitrogen Assess nitrogen transport risk within 6 months of intending to
transport to surface water is not minimized apply manure or process wastewater.
K. INSPECT LAND APPLICATION EQUIPMENT—61.17(8)(c)(x)(C)
The CAFO will periodically inspect equipment used for land application of manure or process wastewater for leaks.
The facility will inspect land application equipment at the following frequencies:
(I) Annually(within the six month period prior to the first application of manure or process wastewater);and
(2) At least once daily when process wastewater is being applied
L. SETBACK REQUIREMENTS—61.17(8)(c)(x)(D)
The CAFO will not apply manure and process wastewater:
(I) Closer than 100 feet to any down-gradient surface waters,open tile line intake structures,sinkholes,agricultural
wellheads,or other conduits to surface waters unless one of the following is implemented:
(II) 35-foot vegetated buffer to any down-gradient water of the U.S.,open tile intake structures,sinkholes,
agricultural wellheads,or other conduits to waters of the U.S.where applications of manure,litter,or
process wastewater are prohibited.
(III) Alternative compliance practices to the 100-foot setback with prior approval of the Department.
Please describe:(proposed)berth along ditch,well covers,buffer at creek exit
Compliance Practice Implemented Land Application Site ID Where
1(1), (II)or(III)above): Practice is Implemented:
Down-gradient Surface Waters II,III Will be at SW field&NE field
Open Tile Line Intake Structure
Sinkholes
Agricultural Wellheads III Will be at NE field
Other Conduits to Surface Waters
