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.
Drill, complete and operate 10 oil and gas wells, either vertically or directionally drilled, from
various pads in the E''%. There will be twos tank batteries for all wells. The number of tanks will
depend on production.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan).
"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. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-6)."
"Oil and gas exploration and production should be conducted in a manner which minimizes
interference with existing surface use and mitigates the impact on future land uses. OG. Goal 2.
The extraction of oil and gas resources should conserve the land and minimize the impact on
surrounding land. "
Applicant anticipates drilling ten wells from four or more pads. Since many will be
directionally drilled, this mitigates the impact on future land uses and minimizes the
impact on the surrounding property. Using only two batteries for the ten wells also
mitigates and minimizes the impact.
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.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION FACILITIES are permitted in an I-1 zone as a use by special
review.
Applicant is hereby making application for a use by special review for ten wells which are
located in an I-1 zone and up to six additional wells as may in the future be allowed by the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and which would be directionally drilled
from the same pad(s). At the present time, 10 wells are allowed under rules of the
Commission.
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with
surrounding land uses.
The surrounding lands uses are agricultural and industrial (Kodak plant). The grouping of wells at
pads is consistent with good land use, taking as little land out of production as possible while
ensuring that the oil and gas resources are developed. Using only two battery sites will minimize
land dedicated to oil and gas development.
5. Describe, in detail, the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
Six to ten workers, 24 hours per day, during drilling. Completion, for a short period of time (fewer
than 12 hours), may involve up to 20 workers. Thereafter, only an occasional visit from the
pumper is anticipated.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? None.
c. What are the hours of operation?
Production is anticipated at all times.
d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site?
Separation equipment(two separators per battery), gas metering (minimum of two meters-one at
each battery site) and crude oil storage tanks(likely three 300-bbl tanks at each battery site) are
anticipated, together with a produced water storage tank at each battery site. In the future,
depending on line pressures, a compressor may be necessary to ensure sufficient pressure to sell
into existing lines.
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
None
f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often?
After drilling and completion, an occasional crude oil tank truck will visit the tank battery to pick up
crude oil, and the pumper is expected to visit the wells on a daily basis via pickup truck. During
drilling, the rig will be brought in by trucks-approximately 20 -and assembled on the site.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
Windsor/Severance First Protection District
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation).
No water will be needed other than that brought in by water trucks. There is no ongoing need for
any water.
I. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
No system exists. Portable toilets are used during drilling and completion; thereafter no facilities.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored? N/A
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a
landscape plan map as part of the application submittal.
No landscaping is proposed.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity
occurs.
Separators, meter houses and tanks will be removed. The wells will be plugged and abandoned in
full compliance with Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
There is not anticipated to be any additional storm water drainage due to limited land disturbance.
Stormwater drainage plans will be submitted as required.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to
begin.
Permits for the wells have been applied for. Battery construction will take place concurrently with
completion activities, which are subject to the availability of men and equipment. A date certain is
not possible due to an acute shortage of drilling rigs and available subcontractors.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
There will be no storage or stockpiling of wastes.
