Temporary Use of Facility
Conquest Oil Company
do Dale Butcher
USR-1604 for the Conquest Oil Company, 1610 29"Avenue Place, #200; Greeley, CO 80634
was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 6, 2007 for a
Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support Facility
(Brinewater Disposal and allied Facilities) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
The applicant is requesting consideration for the temporary use of this approved facility until
December 2007 to accommodate the customers that Conquest Oil Company services in the oil filed
business. If this temporary use request is approved by the Board of County Commissioners,
Conquest Oil Company would abide by the following conditions:
The temporary use would begin about October 17, 2007
# The maximum number of trucks allowed per day would be 20.
# Dust abatement procedures would be undertaken (mag-chloride).
Trucks would be offloaded into frac tanks on-site.
The frac tanks would have an earthen berm around them that would hold
1 1/2 times the volume of the largest frac tank.
A polyethylene secondary containment system would be placed in the
unloading area to keep fluid off of the soil.
The additional disposal capability provided would allow our customers to truck water a single
time and, therefore, reduce the number of"truck-miles" traveled on County roads. It would also
allow producers to operate without service disruptions.
Staff contacted the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for comment. Dave Dillon
stated that the COGCC won't have any issues so long as any tanks and off-loading occurs
within a bermed area (berm must be large enough to hold volume of tank). The berm can be of
dirt, et cetera.
The Departments of Public Health and Environment and Planning Services agree to the request
and recommends approval of such to the Board of County Commissioners

Hi Kim,
As you know, the oil field is operating at the highest level in recent history. Conquest Disposal and the Marcum
Trust are experiencing the highest water volumes in our 15 years of operation. We literally cannot adequately
service all of our customers.
May I ask you to discuss our situation with the County Commissioners and provide a proposal to allow us to
temporarily us the C-6 well until the facility is completed. We would agree to the following stipulations:
-The temporary use would begin in about 10 days
-The maximum number of trucks allowed per day would be 20.
- Dust abatement procedures would be undertaken (mag-chloride).
-Trucks would be offloaded into frac tanks on-site.
-The frac tanks would have an earthen berm around them that would hold 1 1/2 times the volume of the largest
frac tank.
-A polyethylene secondary containment system would be placed in the unloading area to keep fluid off of the
soil.
We expect the facility to be completed by December 31, 2007.
The additional disposal capability provided would allow our customers to truck water a single time and,
therefore, reduce the number of"truck-miles"traveled on County roads. It would also allow producers to
operate without service disruptions.
Jim Goddard and I are available to discuss this with you or the Commissioners at your convenience.
