A. The project is the formation of a Hazardous Material Emergency Response
Team.
A Hazardous materials Response Team will provide on-scene expertise to
�,.__� - __ ._ . ,.� ener,... industry
whether on-site or in transport. It will provide training for the
numerous volunteer fire departments as first responders. It will super-
vise the oil and gas industry in clean up operations and disposal when
required.
The project includes equipment, vehicle and training for approximately 16
persons from law enforcement (4) , health department (5) , Road and Bridge
(6) , and OEM (1) .
B. Summary. (See attached detail listings)
Personal Protective Equipment $ 28,750
Detection and Identification 2,074
Containment and Scene Control Equipment 18,773

6. Describe the relationship of the project to energy/mineral develop-
ment. What energy/mineral projects affect the community? How many
employees of energy/mineral companies reside in the Applicant's juris-
diction or service area? What are the population and workforce pro-
jections for the community or area (provide source of information).
Weld County has experienced problems of hazardous materials response relative
to the oil and gas industry. A lack of trained personnel and equipment
has endangered its citizens because of this need. The proximity of drilling
and production to populations has created a risk to life and property.
Because the energy industry appears to be here for an extended, unknown period,
it is imperative that the county be prepared to respond to emergencies intrinsic
to this industry.
7. List the efforts made to secure alternative financing for the project.
Cite efforts to secure funding from user fees, local government bud-
get, industry/private sources, federal sources, and other State
sources. •
The need for the specialized equipment and extensive specialized training is
a direct cause of the threat created by the oil and gas activity in Weld
County. The resources needed to accommodate incidents should not detract
from other county programs and priorities when the need for equipment and
training is limited to energy industry related incidents.
Industry has been cooperative during emergency situations, but the companies
lack the specialized equipment and training also.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protection is necessary to ensure that a favorable outcome
to a hazardous materials emergency is achieved . Research has shown that
four levels of protective equipment are required to provide maximum
personal protection . The four levels are structural firefighting clothing ,
non-encapsulating ( splash suits ) , encapsulating, and specialized pro-
tective equipment . Our recommendations for purchase of equipment is
based on these four levels .
STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTING CLOTHING
ine L,VUrable OULLOWe of a nazaruous materials emerged.., can
greatly enhanced by the first arriving units ( incident control
will require involvement by all fire department personnel ) . It
is our recommendation that the department begin a program to
replace all structural firefighting clothing with bunker gear
that will provide a greater degree of protection to all fire-
fighters . This may be accomplished through normal replacement
'of old bunker gear. We have developed specifications that we
feel will provide the maximum protection available .
ENCAPSULATING / NON-ENCAPSULATING
Hazardous materials emergencies may require personnel to work in
extremely toxic environments . These substances can enter the body
in any of four ways - inhalation, ingestion, injection, and skin
absorbsion. Both encapsulating and non-encapsulating types of
suits are required to provide protection to firefighters working
in toxic areas . The various suits listed will ensure compatibility
with most hazardous substances likely to be encountered .
The twelve ( 12 ) Saranex encapsulating suits may be used by support
personnel (police , ambulance , heavy equipment operators , etc . )
We also recommend three ( 3 ) additional self-contained breathing
apparatus with composite ( lightweight ) cylinders and six ( 6 ) spare
composite cylinders . Eliminating excess weight while in the en-
capsulating suits will reduce the physical stress on personnel .
SPECIALIZED PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Firefighters may be required to work in areas of extremely high
heat to bring a hazardous materials incident to a conclusion.
Proximity suits are recommended for this situation.

DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
When responding to an emergency, the first concern of an incident
commander is to "size-up" the situation so that subsequent actions will
be correct . At an incident involving hazardous materials , this operation
may be confounded by the fact that the exact nature of the problem material
is not readily apparent in most cases . Warning signs may be inadequate
or not visible , a responsible party may be injured or otherwise unavail-
able , or the dangerous nature of the material itself might make it
impossible to approach the scene . It is necessary then, to have some
means of detecting and identifying hazardous materials at an incident
beyond the use of eyes and ears .
The equipment listed in this section is intended to aid an incident
commander and other respondifl ; -'nr anne1 ' v revealing the nature and
r the hazard= at a nen be made regarding
how to approach the scene , how to protect personnel , and whether or not
to evacuate . Detection equipment such as the gas meter and chemical
classification kit will help focus in on the type of material being
dealt with, while jars and other equipment will allow the taking of
samples of more precise analysis .

tiCn-Up AND DISPUSIIIUN
In order to bring a hazardous materials incident to a conclusion ,
it may be necessary to collect the hazardous substance . Many incidents
may be mitigated or controlled by simply picking up the hazardous material ,
for example , removing gasoline at a traffic accident . These listed
materials will give the Hazardous Materials Team the ability to handle
most of the pick-up necessary in these situations . The team can then
see that the material is secured until it can be disposed of properly .

FIRST AID AND DECONTAMINATION
First aid and decontamination equipment is imperative for proper
treatment of victims of hazardous materials incidents . Initial treatment
with the proper equipment can mean the difference between life and
death. Since injuries often accompany hazardous materials incidents ,
we need to treat these injuries immediately on scene . First aid equip-
ment carried on the Haz-Mat vehicle will make this treatment available .
Decontamination equipment is important because in most cases , the
victim cannot be touched until the material has been washed off or
neutralized . The better we are equipped to decontaminate victims and
ourselves , the less likely contamination will extend to the ambulance
or hospital equipment or personnel .

OTHER SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT
There are certain items listed that are needed for the safe and
efficient performance of the Haz Mat Team. Some of these items serve a
specific purpose ; some are used with various other equipment . To list
all the items and reasons for each item would be volumous . A few of the
major tools include such things as a weather station for monitoring
wind direction and speed . This will enable us to approach a scene at
a safe distance and from the proper direction; it will also assist
the police with evacuation plans . Some of the other items are a
port-a-power and an air chisel for extrication of trapped people ,
special communications equipment which will give us the vital link
from the encapsulated suit to encapsulated suit or to the Command Post .
We need a generator for the lights , power tools , Command Post , etc .
These are but a few of the items required at an incident . There are
many more. Only the nature of the incident can dictate the amount
and type of equipment that will be needed. In addition, there will
have to be some funds made available for replacement of small items
used in training. This list will be a start in the right direction.

In order to make the bus whith was donated by the Public
Department into a functional Haz Mat response vehicle , it wiii be
necessary to modify it inside and out . This will consist of putting
warning devices ( lights and siren) on the vehicle and changing the
interior to allow us to carry the special equipment .
The radio on this vehicle will need to have the capability of
communicating on both VHF and UHF. This is because of the many different
frequencies that are being used by emergency and non-emergency agencies
in our area and our need to communicate with them.

The County Fire Marshall program will assist in the collective efforts of the
twenty-three (23) Fire Districts and three (3) Municipal Fire Departments servicing
Weld County. This assistance will include;
1. Consultation with fire departments to insure inspections of oil and gas wells
and related equipment are performed uniformly throughout Weld County.
2. Assist Fire Districts in adopting the Uniform Fire Code.
3. Provide the expertise for inspections of complex energy facilities.
4. Ensure that training in gas and oil related problems are made available
to fire personnel.
5. Provide training in the use of specialized equipment employed in suppressing
gas and oil fires.
6. Assist in public education and awareness towards gas and oil hazards as
well as safety measures.
7. Coordinate the procurement and strategic placement of Hazardous Materials
suppression equipment.
(CONTINUED)
7. List the efforts made to secure alternative financing for the project.
Cite efforts to secure funding from user fees, local government bud-
get, industry/private sources, federal sources, and other State
sources.
Fire districts have been approached to pay a pro-rata share of the costs, but
because of their own budget constraints are unwilling to provide support until
the program is established and benefits are evident. Therefore, first year
funding is necessary to get the program established.
The gas and oil industry will be solicited for donations to acquire equipment
and training aids for dealing with gas and oil related problems. The industry
should also make available to response personnel; site tours, descriptions of
operations, and lists of current equipment and hazardous materials used during
production.

6. (CONTINUED)
The above mentioned project will address the current need for uniform
inspections and training on a county wide basis. The projected impact
of this project will be to mitigate future problems related to gas and
oil. There is currently no agency or group dealing with the collective
efforts that this project will address.

created by the oil and gas impact. No fee or permit structure exists to
fund the service and resources are not available with the county's general
fund with the 5% property tax limit of the Home Rule Charter.
If applicable, did the Applicant take the full 107% property tax
revenue increase for the current budget year? Yes X No
Weld County's Home Rule Charter only allows a 5% property tax increase annually.
9. If the project will require on-going operational funds, what is the
Applicant's plan for securing continuing funding?
After the first year it is anticipated that on-going costs will be provided on
a pro-rata basis by all the participating fire districts.
10. Please identify any facility or service plans in which the proposed
project has been identified as a priority or scheduled expenditure.

The diversification of oil and gas wells throughout the county virtually
impact each of the fire districts with many of them being totally volunteer.
The volunteer departments can cope with normal fire services within the
districts, but lack the sophistication to deal with the threats and complications
associated with oil and gas well inspections and incidents.

A. The purpose of this project is to develop and maintain an automated
Oil and Gas Information System. This will entail systems analysis
and design, programming, training, and user consultation. Additionally,
the implementation of the system will require increased mainframe
can c . and the purchase - -;ddition;l teleorocessi-: - gent for the
Office of Emergency Management.
An automated Oil and Gas Information System will provide a central
repository of oil and gas data. This system would be used to facilitate
the collecting of segmented information that is currently captured and
filed by various county departments, and storing of it for future
reference or analysis by other county departments and affected agencies.
The intent is to capture pertinent information at the point that it is
first known. It is anticipated that data will be captured for the system
from the County Planning, Building Inspection, Health, Assessor, Sheriff,
and Road and Bridge departments, Fire Districts, the Oil and Gas Commis-
sion, and the oil companies. Information pertaining to the site could
then be made available via the teleprocessing network to agencies with a
need-to-know. Access to data related to site demographics, well ownership,
surface ownership, well operation, responsible parties for activity,
responsible parties in case of emergency, type of well, production status,
and incident reports would be instantaneous and current. Multiple
agencies could be reviewing the same data at any given time, thus
increasing the amount of common knowledge. Summary information could
translate into graphs and scattergrams for analysis.
The initial data base would be created by consolidating data that resides
in various automated and manual files. The bulk of this work will be
manual. As the data base is being loaded, new information can be added.
The initial step in the collection process will be the recording of the
"Notice of Intent" in the Planning Department. This will provide the
following information:
1. Name, address, and phone number of each owner of a working interest
in a well.
2. Name, address, and phone number of the person or firm in charge of
the operation and maintenance of a well.
3. Name, address, and phone number of the person or firm in charge of
work to be done on a well.
4. Name, address, and phone number of the surface property owner .
5. Access information.

5. Project Narrative (Continued)
Follow-up data will be capturedto collect and maintain information
pertinent to emergency response. As incidents occur that are known to
Building Inspections, Sheriff, Health, and Road and Bridge, the data
will be entered into the system.
The information that is made available will enhance the County's reactive
and proactive posture with respect to Oil and Gas impacts.

The most significant projects affecting Weld County to date are related to
oil and gas production. The impacts are felt throughout the region as a
whole, however, and are not found exclusively in a community or neighborhood
condition. Weld County currently has over 3,200 active wells.
Oil and gas exploration continues in Weld County. It is estimated that
- -,'0 additional we' '_ be drilled _n 1984.
Weld County has 212 oil and gas producers per the assessment rolls. Although
there is no available data providing the exact number of employees when all
support functions (e.g. engineering, drilling, fracing, fluid disposal,
maintenance, etc.) are considered, there are several hundred employees in
Weld County associated with the oil industry.
7. List the efforts made to secure alternative financing for the project.
Cite efforts to secure funding from user fees, local government bud-
get, industry/private sources, federal sources, and other State
sources.
The need for the system is totally a result of the significant oil and gas
activity in Weld County. The creation of the system to cope with oil and
gas impact should not detract from other county programs and priorities
when its service is limited to industry related incidents.
User fees are not applicable.

11. Other comments: (If additional space is needed add an addendum. )
Information related to oil and gas activities is at best fragmented and
incomplete in Weld County. There is no central repository for oil and gas
information and no way for multiple agencies with a need-to-know to have access
to the same information. Incomplete, outdated, and hard to locate information
on wells hampers emergency response and follow-up activity. In general,
a combined, coordinated effort in the areas of collection and dissemination
of useful information is severely crippled. This problem is readily
apparent in times of emergency when the acquisition of timely information
is critical. Determining the owner or operator of a well has taken many
hours because the coordination of information resources has been minimal.

A. The project will analyze the 552 mile paved road system in Weld County to
develop a pavement management program to assist the county in coping
with the energy impact on the system by:
-- Ident__- ing current pavement operational characters-::tic
-- Identifying present pavement conditions by non-destructive deflection
testing, pavement roughness analysis, surface condition ratings, and
pavement core analysis.
-- Analyzing the data collected and provide indexes for each pavement
section of structural adequacy, riding comfort, surface deficiencies,
and overall pavement quality.
-- Identifying rehabilitation needs.
-- Analyzing rehabilitation alternatives.
-- Preparing a ten-year priority program showing recommended rehabilitation
alternatives with respect to budget forecasts.
The project will provide the data and system that will allow the county:
-- To provide an objective method of prioritizing rehabilitation.
-- To assess needs.
-- To determine maintenance priorities
-- To determine maintenance requirements by maintenance area.
-- To know where within the system problems exist (posting of roads
or rerouting)
-- To assess the adequacy of the county's maintenance approach.
-- To provide a measure of service level.
-- To provide a measure of the adequacy of budget levels.
B. The project requests funds to examine the entire 552 miles of paved roads
at one time at the cost of $600/mile ($331,200) plus in-kind staff costs
($18,000) .

Weld County has over 3,200 oil and gas wells dispersed throughout the county.
•
The county's road system of 3,559 miles is used by the oil industry to access
the well sites. The drilling and servicing of the wells involves heavy
traffic counts and in most cases, overweight vehicles that do extraordinary
damage to the road and bridge system. The impact of the energy activity
has contributed to the rapid deterioation of the 552 miles of paved roads.
With the limited resources available for road construction and maintenance,
escalating costs and rapid deterioation of the system, Weld County needs
assistance in the form of information to assess the system to maximize the
resources spent and minimize deterioation by controlling use by posting
roads and re-routing traffic.
An inventory of bridges has allowed Weld County to post weight limits and
redirect overweight oil and gas related vehicles to minimize damage and
prioritize restoration of bridges. A similar system needs to be done with
the paved road system.
(Continued on Back of Page)
7. List the efforts made to secure alternative financing for the project.
Cite efforts to secure funding from user fees, local government bud-
get, industry/private sources, federal sources, and other State
sources. .
Because the road problem is diversified throughout the county it cannot
be identified to any specific company, but is a generalized problem.
Therefore, there is no energy industry assistance except $500 for overweight
moving permits for each rig move.

6. (CONTINUED)
A pavement management program is a planning strategy to help deal with the
problem. The data developed in the complete study will enable Weld County
to make sound managerial decisions in establishing a restoration program of
paved roads; aid in setting specifications; help schedule restoration
programs; help re-route overweight oil and gas vehicles; and act as a
viable tool to support planning decisions to help cope with the energy impact
on the road system in Weld County.
Weld County has 212 oil and gas producers per the assessment rolls. Al-
though there is no available data providing the exact number of employees
when all support functions (e.g. , engineering, drilling, tracing, fluid
disposal, maintenance, etc.) are considered, there are several hundred
employees in Weld County associated with the total industry.

Indicate why the project cannot be locally funded.
In 1984 Weld County is spending $8.5 million on roads and bridges. In
October, 1983, a $20 million bond issue for road and bridge projects failed,
in part due to the public's sentiment that the oil and gas industry has done
the damage and the residents should not have to pay. The Weld County Home
Rule Charter limits property tax to a 5% annual increase, which limits
resources for roads. Averweight moving permits are at $500/move. An oil
industry committee objected to any increase.
If applicable, did the Applicant take the full 107% property tax
revenue increase for the current budget year? Yes X No
Weld County's Home Rule Charter only allows a 5% property tax
increase annually.

Dear Commissioners:
2-kJter streets ana roads are constructed, construction and other heavy .00n
traffic tend to accelerate the life expectancy and rapid deterioration of the
pavement structure. With Dynaflect testing, Weld County can assure that the
existing pavement is as structurally sound as it was before heavy loads were
placed on it. Also, PMS can determine what damage has been done and what
type of rehabilitation is needed to elevate the pavement to its original condition.
In addition, PMS can also develop costs and maintenance strategies to distribute
the County's capital outlay to the proper area and minimize rehabilitation costs
caused by heavy loads.
With the information that PMS can supply the Board, County management can
then require agencies applying heavy loads to participate in the restoration
costs.
PMS has been involved in similar studies for Exxon in Moab, Utah where Exxon
drove an extremely heavy drilling rig over County roads; and in Littleton,
Colorado, where the Talley Corp. is sending 35,000 loads weighing 85,000 pounds
each over City streets. Also, PMS is now becoming involved in studies of
pavement damage caused by the moving of MX Missiles in Wyoming.
PMS is excited about its capabilities to do heavy load studies on multilayered
pavement sections and feels confident that Weld County will benefit from PMS's
services.
Sincerely,
clisu� ��

plished and how will it be done? (b) Provide a specific project
budget with detailed expenditure categories. (c) If multiple
funding sources are invloved, show what each will finance. (d) If
preliminary planning, feasibility studies or design has been done,

2. Briggsdale
3. Kiowa
4. CilcresL
5. Keenesburg
Sheds will accommodate graders in areas with inadequate facilities to
better service areas impacted by oil and gas activity.
B. Each shed is estimated to cost $27,000. County would provide land,
water, utility hook-ups, septic systems, site preparation, and $7,000.
Request $20,000 funding for each shed from Impact Assistance monies.

6. Describe the relationship of the project to energy/mineral develop-
ment. What energy/mineral projects _affect the community? How many
employees of energy/mineral companies reside in the Applicant's juris-
diction or service area? What are the population and workforce pro-
jections for the community or area (provide source of information) .
Weld County has over 3,200 oil and gas wells dispersed throughout the county.
The county's road system of 3,559 miles is used by the oil industry to access
the well sites. The drilling and servicing of the wells involves heavy
traffic counts and in most cases, overweight vehicles that do extraordinary
damage to the road and bridge system. The impact of the energy activity
has contributed to the rapid deterioation of the 552 miles of paved roads.
With the limited resources available for road construction and maintenance,
escalating costs and rapid deterioation of the system, Weld County needs
assistance in the form of information to assess the system to maximize the
resources spent and minimize deterioation by controlling use by posting
roads and re-routing traffic.
An inventory of bridges has allowed Weld County to post weight limits and
redirect overweight oil and gas related vehicles to minimize damage and
prioritize restoration of bridges. A similar system needs to be done with
the paved road system.
(Continued on Back of Page)
7. List the efforts made to secure alternative financing for the project.
Cite efforts to secure funding from user fees, local government bud-
get, industry/private sources, federal sources, and other State
sources.
Because the road problem is diversified throughout the county it cannot
be identified to any specific company, but is a generalized problem.
Therefore, there is no energy industry assistance except $500 for overweight
moving permits for each rig move.

Indicate why the project cannot be locally funded.
In 1984 Weld County is spending $8.5 million on roads and bridges. In
October, 1983, a $20 million bond issue for road and bridge projects failed,
in part due to the public's sentiment that the oil and gas industry has done
the damage and the residents should not have to pay. The Weld County Home Rule
Charter limits property tax to a 5% annual increase, which limits resources
for roads. Overweight moving permits are at $500/move. An oil industry
committee objected to any increase.
If applicable, did the Applicant take the full 107% property tax
revenue increase for the current budget year? Yes X No
Weld County's Home Rule Charter only allows a 5% property tax increase
annually.
9. If the project will require on-going operational funds, what is the
Applicant's plan for securing continuing funding?
One time capital expenditure.
10. Please identify any facility or service plans in which the proposed
project has been identified as a priority or scheduled expenditure.
