The Weld County Public Works Department will determine when this is warranted. JThe applicant needs to identify a designated haul route from nearest paved road to the office, concrete batch plant, and substations. here shall be no staging or parking of vehicles or equipment on maintained county roads. Utilize on-site locations and private rights-of-way. EXHIBIT � 4 Chris Gathman, Planning Services USR-1573 ugust 18, 2006 Page 2 Upon notice by Weld County, the applicant will cease hauling operations or direct the contractor to cease hauling operations until the roads are repaired to the satisfaction of the Weld County Public Works Department. Hauling operations will not be allowed to resume until the condition of the road allows heavy hauling without damage being done to the road. Dust Suppressant: If excessive heavy truck hauling of concrete or materials cause dust problems to the adjacent property owners, the applicant shall be required to provide an adequate dust suppressant chemical (calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) for approximately 300 feet at any residence. Determination on application shall be determined by the Weld County Public Works Department (Motor Grader Division Supervisor) based on complaints, average daily traffic counts, and increase of heavy truck hauling associated with this operation. Access Improvements: If a drain culvert is required, a 15-inch corrugated metal pipe is the County's minimum size requirement. If the applicant chooses to place a larger culvert, please contact the Weld County Publics Department to adequately size the culvert.

Storm Water Drainage: 7he historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that it will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the type generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or unplanned ponding of storm run-off. The applicant must take into consideration storm water capture/quantity and provide accordingly for best management practices. "`'tilize erosion control plan for all the site until vegetation are established in the area. Set Backs: Generally, the county road right-of-way is 60 feet.
