Submitted By: HUGASCO, INC . 1530 Ninth Street Greeley, Colorado 30631 WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION and WELD COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Dear Members: The petitioner, HUCASCO, INC. , herein petitions the Weld County Planning : sa- mission and the Weld County Board of County Commissioners for a Special Review Peimit to establish, operate and maintain a portable skid mounted natural gas processing (stripping) pland. The plant will be located North of the intersection of County Road 13 and County Road 44 Southwest of Johnstown. The plant will process natural gas produced from the present wells located on the Frances Rutt, Edith Woelfle and the Virgil D. Podtburg properties plus other wells to be drilled in the area in the near future. This gas plant (initially 1,000 MCF) is necessary because Panhandle Eastern, the pipeline company which has previously purchased the gas from the wells in the area, has stopped any new "hook-ups" for the next two years. Also, it is understood that they plan to cut back on a number of the present "hook • - ups" to producing wells in the immediate vicinity. We have been fortunate that our affiliate, HUMMEL OIL AND GAS, INC. has ob- tained a gas purchasing contract from Western Slope Gas Company to purchase gas from our wells and others in the area which have been drilled or will be drilled in the near future. Our processing of the gas from said wells will prevent the need for "shut- in" wells which are of no benefit to the mineral owners, the producers or Weld County. -1- Application for Use Special Review Page 2. The plant will be located in a non-congested area with full considera"or being given to the adjoining property owners and other persons frequerti- the area. A full discussion of the plants existence and function has been held all of the property owners in the vicinity. There have been no cbjec-'__: raised by any party to this time. We respectfully request an approval of the Special Review Permit. Respectfully, HUGASCO, INC . Prank J. eI, Vice Presideht (- Application for Use by Special Review Page 3. 1.
