They were only planning on a chain link fence around the facility as even if they added slats or fabric it would not screen the tanks. The facility is set back quite a ways from WCR 49 which is the busiest road and screening would not affect the view from the road. Do I need to send you a separate document stating the hours and days of operation or will this email suffice? Thanks.

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 property will be utilized for a crude oil truck unloading facility, as well as a crude oil tank farm. Trucked crude volume is initially anticipated at approximately 20,000 barrels per day and will be transported from surrounding local production fields. Terminal crude volume taken into the tank farm will be predominantly sourced from existing wells in Colorado. Assets on the ground will consist of 12 truck unloading bays, 1 large tank (100,000 bbls)with 4 future tanks (100,000 bbls), 4 small tanks (5,000 bbls)with 4 future tanks (5,000 bbls), several pumps, valves, &associated piping. A new office will be constructed on-site as well. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22(Comprehensive Plan). Section 22-5-90—Oil and gas development in the County is an integral part of the county economy, and has a substantial direct and indirect impact on current and future land use. Oil and gas development is cyclical but the economics of drilling has caused extensive drilling activities in the County. Although this request is not for oil drilling it is an essential part of oil development in the County as well as the Nation. SemCrude L.P. has 6.5 million barrels of storage capacity in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Louisiana and 541,000 barrels of crude oil and condensate per day are purchased, transported, gathered and/or sold in the United States. Section 22-5-100.A 4.OG.Policy 1.4 — The County will seek the imposition of protective measures through available state, county and federal regulations to ensure that the mineral operator conducts operations in a manner which will minimize current and future environmental impacts. Section 22-2-60.G A.Goal.7 — Protect agricultural uses from those uses which hinder the operations of the agricultural enterprises. The SemCrude facility will not hinder the operation of agricultural uses. The site was bought from the Trust that will continue to own and farm the adjacent property to the west and north. SemCrude L.P. will adhere to any and all applicable state, county and federal regulations. This proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as described in the goals and policies outlined above. 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. The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A(Agricultural)Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.1 of the Weld County Code states: "Mineral resource development facilities including, oil and gas storage facilities." Section 23-1-90 defines an oil and gas storage facility as: "One(1)or more tanks which receive and store oil or gas from sources other than direct from the oil and gas well" There will be no processing on this property and the oil will go directly into an oil line which transfers the oil to a refinery in Oklahoma. The proposed facility adheres to the sections noted above which is consistent with the intent of the agricultural zone district. 4. What types of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. East— Pasture - no structures West— Pasture- no structures North— Pasture - no structures South —Crops - no structures The proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses,which are comprised primarily of pasture land and irrigated farmland. 5.

TETRA TECH April 17, 2007 Drew Scheltinga Weld County Public Works Division 1111 H Street Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Semcrude USR Drainage Analysis Dear Mr. Scheltinga: This letter is provided to describe the drainage at the proposed Semcrude crude oil unloading facility. The site is located in the S '/2 of the SE '/a of Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 65 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. It is bound on the South by Weld County Road (WCR) 30, on the East by WCR 49, and on the West and North by the Talbot property. The site is 80 Acres in size more or less. The existing site consists of mainly prairie land and some weeds. There are some existing storage tanks and gas wells located on site. The site generally drains from northwest to southeast. On site soil is designated as Olney loamy sand and Vona loamy sand; soil hydrologic soil group B. The unloading facility, paved area for the trucks, some storage tanks, spill confinement berms and a detention pond will be a part of the developed portion of the site. The developed portion of the site is approximately 24.34 acres is size. The unloading facility will be located in the central portion of the site. The western and eastern portions of the site will remain undisturbed. Some offsite flows from the west will enter the site. A swale will be designed to collect the historic runoff from offsite and the western undisturbed portion of the site to transport the storm water around the proposed development. Water quality and detention pond volume will be provided for the developed portion of the site. Historic runoff coefficients of the site are C5= 0.088, and O100= 0.362. Historic runoff from the considered portion of the site was calculated to be Q = 4.05cfs, Q100 = 31.98cfs. After this portion of the site is developed, the new imperviousness of the area will be 17.51%. Proposed runoff coefficients of the site are C5 = 0.185, and C100= 0.430. Developed site runoff was calculated to be Q = 14.59cfs and Q1oo = 64.89cfs. The western and eastern portion of the site will remain undeveloped and runoff from these portions will be released undetained at the respective historic rates. The runoff from the developed portion of the site will flow into the proposed detention pond. The pond will be created by the proposed secondary (oil) containment berm located on the eastern side of the developed portion of the site. R:A5291001A Documents V Drainage ADrainage LetterALetter final.doc mit TETRA TECH Page 2 Mr. Drew Scheltinga April 17, 2007 The outlet from this pond will have a movable gate at the invert, and an overflow weir upstream of the outlet control. The outlet control will be sized to release at the predevelopment 5-year runoff rate (4.05 cfs). The weir elevation will be set at an elevation 6-inches above the oil containment volume. Any water flowing over the weir will enter a structure through a submerged orifice so any oil would float above the releasing water. The oil containment volume will be equal to the largest storage tank on the site. Following a runoff event, the water held in the pond will be inspected for oil contamination. If the water is clean, the movable gate will be opened to allow the pond to drain through the outlet control. In addition, the oil storage tanks will have a primary containment berm around each tank. The outlet from these containment areas will also have a movable gate, and accumulated water will only be released following inspection. The retention volume inside the individual containment berms was not considered in runoff calculation for the site, thus making the calculations more conservative. If contamination is found in detained water, no water will be released through the movable gates until removal/remediation of any contamination is completed. This could include removal of the entire volume of contained water for treatment off site. Based on Weld County Drainage criteria, we recommend that 3.00 Acre feet storage volume be included for storm water quality and detention. Thank you for your consideration. Please call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, TETRA TECH 0•DO L/L.s O0 •c�W �•i(S) �4' ; �cs ' v Ue� 264572); / James W. Kaiser, P.E.
