This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and similar plants have been constructed in Agricultural zones throughout the County. The use requested is compatible with surrounding land in that an abandoned alfalfa Plant is adjacent to the site , which is a similar use • It is also compatible in that numerous wells have been drilled throughout the area and production cannot commence on these wells without the processing plant. Future development in the area is anticipated to be additional Agricultural uses with continued development of the oil and gas available in rural Weld County. This future development is compatible with the use intended and in fact is necessary in the case of oil and gas development. This application complies with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Section 50, Overlay District Regulations , in that no overlay districts exist at the proposed gas processing plant site. The applicant has negotiated with numerous property owners in the area to establish the best possible location for minimum interference with the agricultural land and has located the site in accordance with these property owners desires. The applicant is designing and constructing the plant following all codes and oil insurance guidelines to ensure the protection of the health and safety of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and of Weld County. JRII 2g 19a3 t. Weld Co.Planning Commission x / OIL AND GAS PROCESSING PLANT DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The proposed oil and gas processing plant will be operated as a business with no residential units at the plant site. It will basically be operated eight (8) hours per day with one to two people at the plant during normal working hours. It will be maintained by a crew working out of the office at the plant site to operate and maintain the gas collection transmission system which sends raw natural gas to the plant. The proposed structures will be constructed of steel frame with siding. All tanks will be constructed of steel and liquid tanks will be bermed around the exterior high enough to contain the total volume of liquid that might be spilled should the tank rupture. All roads within the plant site will be graveled and natural drainage will be controlled so that it does not exceed the normal runoff from the site prior to construction of the facilities. The domestic sewage system at the site will be a septic system sized to accommodate the equivalent of a single-family residence. A permit for this installation will be obtained from the Weld County Health Department in accordance with the standard requirements . A letter is enclosed from the North Weld Water District showing that water is available for the plant . ?he only water required would be the same as a single family residence , to sunp1y domestic water for the office and restrooms . The vehicular traffic to the site will consist of pipeline service vehicles which will be one or two pickups in and out of the site three to four times per day. At the beginning of processing there will be four to six semi trucks per day hauling product from the site and in two to three years when the plant is operating at maximum capacity, there will be six to seven semi trucks hauling product from the site. It is not the intent of Associated Natural Gas to store or stockpile any quantity of materials or waste at the site. There is no waste associated with the processing plant and the only materials that would be stored would be a few valves ; a small amount of pipe material for maintenance and repair of the pipeline system. The operator intends to construct the plant in sixty (60) days and have it in operation in late April of 1983. No specific landscaping plan is proposed with this site. The reclamation procedure that would be completed when the plant is no longer needed for use would be to sell all major equipment and move it from the site. Only a minor amount of piping and unsalvagable material would remain. The fire protection measures necessary for a processing plant of this type consist primarily of continual attention to safety procedures by the employees . Fire extinguishers will be available at the facilities and in all vehicles , however, if a major fire occurred even the local fire departments would not be able to control such a fire. It would be necessary to shut down the gas pipeline system and let the fire burn itself out. We have included a cony of the Air Pollution Study for the plant and the Soils and Geological Study for the plant , for your information. We have also included a copy of the Purchase Agree- ment and Title Insurance. i BOARD D TILDES OFDIRECTORS NORTH WELD COUNTY WATER DISTRICT ERNEww � -ALEX HEIDENREICH .g 4.

January 17, 1983 Weld County Commissioners .Ceurt Greeley, CO Gentlemen: Associated Natural Gas, lnc. is proposing to construct two natural gas processing plants in Weld County. One of the plants will be located in Section 34, 1`7N, R66W (about 2 miles west of Eaton) and the other will be located in Section 35, T4N, i263W (approximately 2 miles Southeast of Gilcrest) . Both plants will receive gas gathered from nearby production, process the gas to remove salable liquids, and _deliver the processed gas to a local purchaser such as Western Slope Gas Company. The pipelines serving the two plants will also be constructed by Associated Natural Gas. At the present time we -are anticipating the construction over the next two years of about 90 miles of 3 thru 8 inch pipelines connecting about 200 new gas wells. The pipeline system and the plants will ultimately handle about 30 million cubic feet of natural gas per day for which there has not been a market heretofore. We anticipate that the construction o£ these facilities will result in expenditures in Weld County of about 5 million dollars over the next 2 years of which about three million will be spent in the next six months . Associated has been working with local gas producers in Weld Lounty for the last 3 - 4 months to negotiate arrangements whereby a market could be developed for the unproduced natural gas in the county. Over the last _few weeks agreements have been consumated whereby, as stated above, Associated will construct and operate the pipeline andplant facilities. The gross revenue from these projects should be ultimitly in the range of $20 - 25, 000,-000 per year. We are aware that the construction of any facility such as these plants requires a special use permit from Weld County and the permit applications are being filed this week. We further understand that the processing and approval of the permits will require at least sixty (60) days. We have however, agreed with the local producers to try to have the plants "on stream" by mid March if possible. Since the _design and installations of the plants will require 6 - 8 weeks it is important that we move at once, and engineering and material procurement is currently underway. However, it is obvious, that we will not have Weld County special use permits in time to start field construction. Consequently, we are herewith proposing to start construction and installation of the plants within the next two weeks at our own risk and subject to the final approval of Weld County. Operation, of course, could not begin until the permits are approved. 1900 Wane Street • P.O. Box 5493 • Denver, Colorado 80217 •303/292-3331 . It is Associated ' s intention to comply with any and all -requirements of the special use permits, and we understand that should the permits not be approved the plants cannot operate. The purpose of this letter is to advise the Commissioners of our intentions, and request advice to the contrary should it be appropriate. For your information, preliminary plot plans and a physical description of each plant is attached. / i:6enr ' dls Attachments • WELD COUNTY GAS PLANTS Products Produced - Residue natural gas, propane and butane Capacity - 15 MMSCF/D per plant Plant Type - Refrigeration Plant Operating Pressure - 600 - 850 psig Major Facilities on Site: - Skid mounted gas plant - 4 inlet gas compressors - total 5000 HP - 120, 000 gallons product storage - Truck loading area - Pipeline inlet/outlet areas - Office/shop building I , C m . ?a' • 2u p i P Q h > Z I g O 3 Q i h 4 !- WJ V - (/1 \.
