Hi Sheri,
We will not require the storage cells to be inspected by building inspectors. He can have up to 8 cells
excavated at one time.
Is that it? I think so. Septic system is only remaining item to be resolved, unless he removes the camper
trailer from the facility. The septic permits were constructed for one home only.

Subject: Tire Mountain, Inc.—2nd Quarter Inspection, 2003
Dear Mr. Jamison:
On May 29, 2003, I conducted a routine inspection of Tire Mountain, Inc., tire disposal. Tire Mountain,
Inc. is located at 12311 Weld County Road 41, in Weld County, Colorado. The purpose of the inspection
was to inspect and assess the facility's compliance with the "Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste
Disposal Sites and Facilities" (the Regulations), as promulgated by the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, Title 30, Article 20, part 1, C.R.S., as amended, and the Development Standards set forth in
the facilities' Use by Special Review Permit (USR-842).
During the inspection I observed that the facility had 15 trenches (30 cells) filled on the southern portion
of the facility. The northern portion of the facility had 15 cells full, 1 cell almost full, 2 cells partially full,
and 2 newly constructed cells.
Additionally, on this date it was observed that the site was not in compliance with both the Regulations
and USR-842.
1. Ten to fifteen 55-gallon drums of oil or other materials were observed next to the area where rims are
removed from the tires. Several of the drums were tipped over and spillage had occurred. Please
remove the drums and associated contaminated soil around the drums.
Please respond in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of this letter of your corrective action and
time frame it will take to remove the drums and effected soil. If you have any questions regarding this
inspection, please contact me at (970) 304-6415, extension 2220.

Dear Mr. Jamison:
On February 20, 2003, I conducted a routine inspection of Tire Mountain, Inc., tire disposal.
Tire Mountain, Inc. is located at 12311 Weld County Road 41, in Weld County, Colorado. The
purpose of the inspection was to inspect and assess the facility's compliance with the

Water Division 1, Water District 1
Dear Ms. Lockman:
As you may already know, the State Engineer's office through a Memorandum
dated August 7, 1995 informed the counties that effective August 31, 1995, this office will
no longer respond to land use actions that do not involve the subdivision of land as
defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a) C.R.S. (see-attached memorandum). These actions
include but are not limited to lot line adjustments, zone change request, special use land
and division by exemption. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision".
However, review of the submitted material indicates that the applicant "Tire
Mountain, Inc." is proposing to expand the 120 acres outdoor storage facility in Hudson
Colorado. The existing facility consists of 45 tire storage areas over 80 acres. The
proposed expansion area consists of the remaining 40 acres. An office/maintenance
building and several storage lots are also located on the property. As a result of this
expansion it appears that the main concern is the fire hazard.
According to our records, on November 25, 2002, the applicant obtained a well
with permit number 246219 to be constructed on the Tire Mountain, Inc. property and to
be used for fire-fighting purposes. Additionally, a 2,200 gallons underground water tank is
available behind the office/maintenance building.
If you have any question in this matter please contact this office at 303/866-3581.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ALL COUNTY LAND USE PLANNING TO
Q5,47
FROM: HAL D. SIMPSON, STATE ENGINEER , A
SUBJECT: STATE ENGINEER'S COMMENTS ON PROPOSED WATER SUPPJIPS
FOR LAND USE ACTIONS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE THE
SUBDIVISION OF LAND AS DEFINED IN SECTION 30-28-101(10)(a),
C.R.S.
This memorandum is to inform you of procedural changes in providing "an opinion regarding
material injury likely to occur to decreed water rights by virtue of diversion of water
necessary or proposed to be used to supply the proposed subdivision and the adequacy of the
proposed water supply to meet requirements of the proposed subdivision", as required under
section 30-28-136(h)(I), C.R.S. (1986 Repl, Vol.).
In June of 1992, HB92-1156, required that recommendations be made within 21 days after
the mailing by the county. No additional staff was allocated to implement this accelerated
review. I find that with the increased developmetifactivity in the sfate,-my staff canaot-
respond in a timely manner to all of the land use referrals we receive.
• Therefore, in order to allow our timely comments on all SUBDIVISION OF LAND referrals
as mandated by section 30-28-136(h)(I) C.R.S., effective AUGUST 31, 1995, THIS
OFFICE MU. NO LONGER RESPOND TO LAND USE ACTIONS THAT DO NOT
INVOLVE i'HP, SUBDIVISION OF LAND AS DEFINED IN SECTION 30-28-101-
(10)(a) C.R.S. (1986 REPL. VOL.). These actions include but are not limited to lot line
adjustments, zone change requests, special use of land, and division by exemption. After
August 31, 1995, we will not respond to or maintain records on any referral we receive that
does not address the subdivision of land as defined in section 30-28-101(10)(a) C.R.S.
Enclosed is a "Water Supply Information Summary" form which as of August 31, 1995 we
will require to be submitted along with each subdivision referral in order fox us to be able to
respond in a timely manner. I ask that you provide copies of this form to all future
subdivision applicants along with your application package. The data required for this
County Land Use Planauyg Directors . Page 2
August 7, 1995
summary should be provided by the applirant from their water supply report as required
under section 30-28-133(d)(I),(11),(111),and (IV) C.R.S. (1986 Repl. VoL). We will base
future reviews on the information provided on the summary form.
Your planning staff may refer to the attached guidelines to assist them in preliminarily
determining whether a well permit might be available. County planners and reviewers
should keep in mind that the issuing of a well permit does not assure that an adequate well
can be developed on the parceL Also, well test and pump tests conducted in conjunction
with well construction are not always reliable indicators of long term ground water
production rates. The long term adequacy of any ground water source may be subject to
fluctuation due to hydrologic and climatic conditions.
Please inform your planning staff of our procedural changes and the guidelines related to the
issuing of well permits. I regret having,to make these changes but our resources are
extremely limited due to growth related work load increases, so we can only provide services
required by statutes.

Re: Tire Mountain, Inc
SW WLD TIR 2.2
Dear Commissioners:
The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division (the Division) of the Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment (the Department)provided a public comment period between
February 4, 2003 and March 10, 2003 for members of the public to review and make comments
concerning this application. The Division did not receive any comments.
As background information, a Division Compliance Advisory dated October 4, 2003 was issued to Tire
Mountain; see enclosure. The latest submission addressed the Compliance Advisory. The Division is
also concerned that adequate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care at the facility be
maintained at all times. The financial assurance is to be based on actual operational conditions.
The Division has determined that the ongoing operation of a well-run tire facility is in the best interest of
all parties. Further that the inclusion of the additional 40 acres to the site and having the facility under
one common Certificate of Designation(CD) and Operation Plan is in the best interest of all parties. It
is with these comments in mind and the requirement that the following conditions become a part of the
record and an enforceable set of conditions of the new Certificate of Designation and the Weld County
Conditional Use (Use by Special Review, USR-842) approval that the Department recommends
approval of this application.
Condition 1. Once the map of the storage area is finalized and filed with the County on the presumed
24 by 36 inch format a copy be forwarded to the Division for its files.
Condition 2. That the fire protection plan for the site contain an internal permit or other means to
preclude activities such as welding, grinding, or other spark sources from areas near tire storage.
Weld County Commissioners
May 22, 2003
Page 2
Condition 3. The facility is to specify the sequence of pit construction on the new 40-acre parcel (i.e.
west to east). It is expected that active tire pits will be close to full prior to excavation of additional pits.
Condition 4. Financial assurance is to be finalized prior to the use of the new 40-acre portion of the site.
It is assumed that the tires are currently an unused resource. Based on the submitted information it is
also assumed that the site will have a life of approximately 20 years. It is further assumed that the tires
will begin to be used in one or more material recovery or recycling operations over that time period.
Therefore, if tires are not being used within ten years after closure, filled tire pits containing tires will
have to be covered with a minimum of two feet of soil. Pits that are either partially filled or unused shall
be filled to grade with soil. Towards that end the Division has used the costs submitted by the applicant
for covering a pit in case of fire to estimate the total potential financial assurance target dollar amount.
The facility is to amortize the financial assurance over the projected life of the site and remain in
compliance with the financial assurance requirements set forth in regulation.
Please contact Doug Ikenberry at 303/692-3389 or Glenn Mallory at 303/692-3445 if you have any
questions regarding this matter.

by Special Review (USR-842), Weld County Referral dated December 2, 2002
Dear Ms. Lockman,
The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division(Division) of the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (Department)has completed review of the above referenced application.
The application documents were attached to a Weld County Department of Planning Services Referral
cover sheet dated December 2, 2002. We appreciate Tire Mountain's efforts in seeking to combine all
relevant parcels by amending the existing certificate of designation(CD).
However, as you know, the Division issued the enclosed compliance advisory to Tire Mountain on
October 4, 2002. Our compliance advisory states, "For example, Tire Mountain's operations do not
comply with the currently approved design and operations (D & O)plan, and Tire Mountain does not
have adequate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care." Our position concerning these
issues has not changed. Consequently, it is imperative that a revised D & O plan that properly addresses
the concerns listed in our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory be incorporated into the amended USR
documentation. In addition, state approval of a revised D & O plan is dependent on joint Department
and County approval of the corresponding financial assurance cost estimate. Further concerns regarding
the referenced application are emphasized below:
A. The Division's August 23, 2002 Tire Mountain annual inspection letter acknowledges that a
verbal agreement was made concerning above grade tire placement at our April 15, 2002 meeting with
Weld County [and Tire Mountain] representatives. As addressed in item 1 of our October 4, 2002
compliance advisory, Tire Mountain has been given an opportunity to submit a revised D & O plan that
proposes tire placement above grade in the cells (i.e., to certain specified limits) as opposed to
physically removing the above grade tires. The Use by Special Review drawings (dated November
Ms. Sheri Lockman
January 8, 2003
Page 2
2002) included in the application are considered as a revised, albeit inadequate D & O plan, that must be
modified to clearly specify a maximum tire height relative to the surface of the adjacent fire lanes.
Please refer to item number 15 of the comments in the Attachment to this letter.
B. Ken Lind's November 15, 2002 letter to the Department states that the fire control issues will be
the responsibility of the Platteville/Gilcrest Fire Protection District, especially as to necessary equipment
and personnel. We do not agree that this approach in lieu of an acceptable fire control plan meets the
intent of the Regulations. Please see item 2 of our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory and item
number 4 in the Attachment. Since the tires are proposed to be left uncovered at closure, it is vital that
the fire control plan provide appropriate procedures that detail the means to be used to extinguish fires
including the corresponding equipment and personnel. A comprehensive and explicit fire control plan is
of paramount importance, not only for protecting the public health and environment, but also because
the approved fire control plan will be used as a basis for evaluating the facility's financial assurance cost
estimate. It is the intent of the regulations that the fire control plan be submitted for review and approval
by the local fire control authority, as well as the Department and the local governing body. We require
that a suitable site specific fire control plan be crafted and that it be included in the application
documentation.
C. Ken Lind's November 15, 2002 letter also states, "As to the financial assurance, that is obviously
dependent upon development standards promulgated by Weld County in cooperation with the referral
agencies." Please see item 3 of our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory. As a point of clarification,
the solid waste regulations prescribe that the Department shall consult with the governing body having
jurisdiction prior to accepting an applicant's financial assurance. Accordingly, the financial assurance
cost estimate is dependent upon state approval. We emphasize that state approval of the revised D &
O/fire control plan is dependent on state approval of the corresponding financial assurance cost estimate.
Since the modified development plan has yet to be approved, a requirement needs to be set forth that an
adequate financial assurance cost estimate must be developed and approved and a supporting financial
instrument is to be funded in order for this modification to the Site Specific Development Plan and
Amended Use by Special Review and CD to be fully valid.
D. Vern Nelson's December 3, 2002 letter to the Department states, "The revised design and
operation(D & O) plan will include the entire permitted area with regard to tire height, excavation of
and replacement of fire lanes, a fire control plan, equipment availability, and a financial assurance cost
estimate." As indicated in item 4 of our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory, the currently approved
permit design [and relevant development standard] requires that fire equipment access roads will be
maintained year around as all weather roads using on site equipment to assure access to delivery trucks
which exceed the weight of fire fighting equipment used at the site (50,000 Ibs). We are very concerned
that destruction of the fire lanes could impede access during a fire(s) or if another fire starts before the
lanes are repaired. See the comments pertinent to this topic in the Attachment.
E. Attached are additional specific comments regarding the Appendix B Weld County Road Access
Information Sheet, the Use by Special Review Questionnaire, and the Use by Special Review drawings
included in the application package.
Ms. Sheri Lockman

In closing, the Division will have a 30-day public comment period. A formal recommendation per the
solid waste regulations will not be made until after we have reviewed any public comment that may be
received.
Please contact Doug Ikenberry at 303-692-3389 if you have any questions.

Attachment to January 8, 2003 letter to Ms. Sherri Lockman with the Weld County
Planning Department- Additional Hazardous Materials and Waste Management
Division comments regarding the Tire Mountain Application for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Second Amended Use by Special Review (USR-842)
Appendix B —Weld County Road Access Information Sheet:
1) The Weld County Road Access Information Sheet indicates that there are
three locations to access the Tire Mountain site. However, the Use by Special
Review Vicinity Map, Plot Plan, Details drawing (sheet 2 of 3) indicates that
there are only two existing access locations to the site. The application must
be consistent throughout.
Use by Special Review Questionnaire
2) The response to the item 2 question indicates that the proposal is consistent
with Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code because (among other things) it
"has no affect upon water or air quality." It is our position that the tires
placed on site may present a potential fire hazard (as occurred in 1987) and a
corresponding potential for adversely affecting water and air quality.
3) The response to the item 2 question indicates that the proposal is consistent
with Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code because (among other things) it
"will be in compliance with all Federal, State and County statutes, regulations
and ordinances." Tire Mountain has to comply with the solid waste
regulations as specified in our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory in
addition to comments in the letter that accompanies this document.
4) The response to the item 5g question indicates that the Platteville/Gilcrest Fire
Protection District will provide fire protection to the site. Please note the solid
waste regulations require that Tire Mountain shall submit a site specific fire
control plan to the Department and the local governing body having
jurisdiction. This plan shall be in accordance with local fire codes and the
plan shall be submitted to the local fire control authority for review and
approval.
5) The response to the item 8 question states that storm water drainage will be
detained on site in accordance with engineering, design, drainage and studies.
The currently approved design drawings indicate that storm water can be
directed off site via a system of culverts. Clarification is required concerning
this apparent discrepancy.
Use by Special Review Drawings
6) A Colorado registered professional engineer should properly certify the design
drawings.
2
7) Drawing 1/3: There appears to be a typographical error with regard to the
Parcel "B" legal description in that"N-1/2" should be replaced with "S-1/2."
8) Drawing 2/3: The Plot Plan and Sections B-B, C-C and D-D indicate typical
fire lane width is 50 feet. The permit documentation should make clear that
the fire lanes must be fifty(50) feet wide or (preferably) a minimum of fifty
(50) feet wide.
9) Drawing 2/3: The cross-hatched legend indicates that available fire
fighting/replacement soils are located exclusively at a 17,500 square foot area
and at a 82,500 square foot area(detention pond) on the Plot Plan, whereas the
entire site is cross-hatched as shown on the Vicinity Map. Clarification is
required concerning this inconsistency. Moreover, we stress that destruction
of the fire lanes may be problematic. If fire lanes are required to be destroyed
in the process of fighting a fire, a short period of time to repair the damage
should be allowed after the fire is extinguished.
10) Drawing 2/3: The typical excavation for fire fighting soil detail indicates that
the depth of excavation will be+ 1 foot. The design needs to explicitly
specify the maximum depth of excavation (e.g., 1 ft+ 0.1 ft) and how it will
be controlled (e.g., by providing existing contours in the excavation areas).
In addition, the design should provide procedures to detail and document that
any over excavated areas are properly backfilled to the required elevation(s).
11) Drawing 2/3: According to the Plot Plan and the 1 foot excavation depth,
only 100,000 cubic feet of soils would be available for fire fighting and/or
apparently to be used as replacement soils for the fire lanes. This is only
enough soil to cover one existing cell with an approximate average thickness
of 3.9 feet (i.e., provided the tires are at grade and the soils are not lost into
the tire mass, etc.). Per our October 4, 2002 compliance advisory, we are
concerned that the proposed soil reserves for fire fighting are severely limited.
12) Drawing 2/3: The "Typical Cell Section B-B" note states, "Fill material to be
compacted to at least 95% of ASTM D698 with native silty sands and sandy
clays which will provide a stable subgrade for roads. The design should also
include that suitable non-native silty sands and sandy clays may also be used
for roads. In addition, the design documents should address how it will be
determined and documented that the required soil types are used and that the
required compaction is attained.
13) Drawing 2/3: Typical Cell Sections B-B and C-C provide vertical and
horizontal dimension for the configuration of the finished cells. The design
documents should also address how it will be determined and documented that
the required cell dimensions (and fire lane dimensions) are achieved.
14) Drawing 2/3: Typical Cell Section C-C and the Plot Plan show that some of
the center parcel cell dimensions will be increased to 305 feet in length. The
currently approved development standards require that the cells be 550 feet in
length, with internal fire breaks extending the full depth of the trench with a
minimum 50 foot width at the top, to be constructed at the center of each
trench. The effect of these requirements limit the existing cell lengths to only
250 feet in length. The internal fire break was evidently recommended in a
document entitled "Fire Protection Evaluation for Scrap Tire Landfill" dated
3
December 5, 1988 and prepared by Glenn T. Hoynoski, P.E. Appropriate
documentation that refutes Mr. Hoynoski's recommendations should be
provided to support an increase in cell length to 305 feet, particularly in light
of the proposal to store tires above grade.
15) Drawing 2/3: Typical Cell Sections B-B and C-C indicate that the typical tire
surface is at the same level as the adjacent fire lanes. The design should
explicitly specify a maximum tire height relative to the grade of the adjacent
fire lanes. The design documents should also include procedures for
determining and documenting that the tires are placed as specified.
16) Drawing 2/3: The terms "Crown" and"Existing Crown" as denoted in
Sections A-A and D-D should be defined more explicitly.

Re: Compliance Advisory—Tire Mountain, Inc.
Dear Mr. Jamison:
This Compliance Advisory provides notice related to information gained during a record review of Tire
Mountain, Inc., conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Hazardous
Materials and Waste Management Division(the "Department"). The record review was conducted to
review the facility's response to the Department's August 23, 2002 inspection letter and the facility's
financial assurance status. The Department advises you that the information gained during the record
review indicates that Tire Mountain, Inc. may have violated Colorado's solid waste laws. Department
personnel will review the facts established during this record review and this notice may be revised to
include additions or clarifications as a result of that review.
Please be aware that you are responsible for complying with the State solid waste regulations and that
there are civil penalties for failing to do so. Section 30-20-113, C.R.S.provides that any person who
violates the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, sections 30-20-100.5 through 119, C.R.S.
("the Act") and the Colorado Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities, 6 CCR
1007-2 ("the Regulations") may be subjected to a penalty of not more than $2,000 per violation per day
during the period that such violation occurs. The issuance of this Compliance Advisory does not limit or
preclude the Department from pursuing its enforcement options concerning this record review including
issuance of a Compliance Order and/or seeking an assessment of civil penalties. Also, this Compliance
Advisory does not constitute a bar to enforcement action for conditions that are not addressed in this
Compliance Advisory, or conditions found during future file reviews or inspections of your facility.
Mr. Jerry Jamison
October 4, 2002
Page 2
Based on the Department's July 23, 2002 inspection and subsequent record review,we find that Tire
Mountain, Inc. is in violation of the Act and Regulations. For example, Tire Mountain's operations do
not comply with the currently approved design and operations (D & O)plan, and Tire Mountain does
not have adequate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care. Based on our April 15, 2002
meeting and Ken Lind's August 30, 2002 letter, we expect that a revised Tire Mountain design and
operations plan that proposes changes to some of the existing permit requirements, and that includes an
additional forty acres (approximately), will be submitted to the Department and Weld County for review
by November 15, 2002. Set forth below are some of the Department's concerns that must be properly
addressed in the November submittal. This list is not necessarily all-inclusive.
1) The Department and Weld County(either the Board of Weld County Commissioners or the
Weld County Department of Planning Services, as appropriate)must review and approve the
revised D & O plan including any changes to the current permit (e.g., with regard to tire
height, excavation of the fire lanes between the trenches, expansion of the permitted area,
etc.).
2) The revised D & O plan must incorporate a revised fire control plan that specifies the
facility's fire lane locations and widths, means to be used to extinguish fires, and designation
of a facility emergency coordinator. The fire control plan shall be in accordance with local
fire codes and the plan shall be submitted to the local fire control authority. Consideration
must be given to the idea that leaving the fires uncovered indefinitely requires commensurate
post-closure site security. Also, the on-site soil reserves for fire fighting (proposed in Vern
Nelson's June 10, 2002 correspondence) are of a finite quantity and their volume must be
presented in three (not two) dimensions (i.e., access to the soil must be achievable by the
heavy equipment proposed and the excavation depth must be limited). The heavy equipment
must be readily available and the operators may also have to be professional fire fighters or
individuals able to operate such equipment using supplied air and wearing appropriate
protective clothing. The procedures that specify how on-site (and potentially off-site) soils
would be accessed, excavated and transported to the fire(s)must be explicitly detailed in the
plan. And, the plan must include a contingency that allows it to be amended in the event that
the approved fire control procedures are no longer viable(e.g., change of soil source).
3) The revised D & O plan shall incorporate a mechanism for triggering adjustment to the
financial assurance funding based on the potential for reduced/exhausted funds and/or on a
dynamic fire control plan. The revised D & O plan must be accompanied by a separate
financial assurance submittal that is based upon revised fire control procedures and closure
and post-closure care cost estimates. The latest financial assurance cost estimate, as
proposed in Vern Nelson's June 10, 2002 correspondence, is unacceptable. A conservative
scenario in which more than one pit is ignited(e.g., due to vandalism)must not be
overlooked. And, more than one fire event may occur if the tires are left uncovered. We
emphasize that all third party financial assurance cost estimates must be directed to the state.
The May 30, 2002 Mountain Constructors letter(attached to Vern Nelson's June 10, 2002
letter) is not directed to the state and only provides hourly rates for the proposed equipment
to do emergency work. The third party cost estimates must definitively identify the specific
l
Mr. Jerry Jamison
October 4, 2002
Page 3
fire control procedures to which they apply and cover all aspects.(e.g., labor and relative
estimates of equipment capabilities) of the work. State approval of the revised D & O/fire
control plan is dependent on state approval of the corresponding financial assurance cost
estimate. Moreover, Tire Mountain, Inc. is responsible for financial assurance coverage of
all aspects of fire fighting at Tire Mountain.
4) Item 2 of Vern Nelson's June 10, 2002 letter states, "Should fire lane dirt be used for fire
control,the lane(s)will be restored from available on-site dirt within a reasonable time, not
to exceed six months." Incidentally, based on a comparison of the thawing attached to Vein
Nelson's June 10, 2002 letter and the permit drawings, it appears that the office and the
32,750 square feet of"available"on-site replacement dirt is not located within the currently
permitted area. Clarification is required regarding this matter. Nonetheless, the currently
approved design requires that, "Fire equipment access roads will be maintained year around
as all weather roads using on site equipment to assure access to delivery trucks which exceed
the weight of fire fighting equipment used at the site (50,000 lbs.)" Destruction of the fire
lanes may be problematic because it could limit access during a fire(s) or if another fire starts
before the lanes are repaired. Should a variance from this requirement be allowed,the roads
must be properly restored within a maximum of thirty days after the time that they are
disturbed,provided that access to other potential fires is not hindered in the interim.
Your response to this compliance advisory will have an impact on how we proceed. Failure to
respond in an appropriate manner and time frame may result in further action. You may contact me
at 303.692.3389 or Glenn Mallory at 303.692.3445 concerning the deficiencies detailed under this
Compliance Advisory. Your legal counsel may contact William C. Allison Vat 303.866.5361 to
discuss the legal aspects of this case.

RE: Tire Mountain Disposal Facility, 2002 Annual Inspection
Weld County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Jamison,
On Tuesday July 23, 2002, a representative of the Solid Waste Unit of the Hazardous Materials and
Waste Management Division (Division) inspected the Tire Mountain Disposal Facility, located seven
miles north of State Highway 52 near Hudson, in Weld County. The purpose of the inspection was to
assess the compliance of the facility with the minimum standards of the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, Title 30, Article 20, Part 1, C.R.S. as amended, and the Regulations promulgated
thereunder, 6 CCR 1007-2 (Regulations). A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your reference.
The results of the inspection indicate that the facility is operating in substantial compliance with the
Regulations at this time with the following exceptions. During the inspection it was observed that tires
were stacked above existing grade in the cells, contrary to the facility design drawings. We
acknowledge that a verbal agreement was made concerning above grade tire placement at our April 15,
2002 meeting with Weld County representatives. However, a formal modification to the Weld County
permit documents that authorizes above grade tire placement has yet to be promulgated. Consequently,
above grade tire placement is considered to be a violation of parts 1.3.9(A) and 2.1.1 of the Regulations.
Also, the Division is continuing its review of the as yet to be accepted cost estimate upon which the
financial assurance instrument is based.
Please respond to this letter by September 30, 2002 regarding the status of the proposed amendments to
USR-842 and the expected time frame they are to be submitted to Weld County.

CASE NUMBER: 2°'AmUSR-842
PROJECT: Site Specific Development Plan and Special Use Permit for Commercial Junkyard and
Salvage Yard in I-3 Zone District
PLANNER: Sheri Lockman
NRCS REPESENTATIVE: Norman J. Wells,Jr., District Conservationist
In consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS), we have reviewed the above
referenced case and have the following comments:
SOILS/LIMITATIONS: The soils on this land parcel are classified as Olney loamy sand (44),Valent
sand(70)and Vona loamy sand(72). These soil types have slight limitations for dwellings with or
without basements. The Olney loamy sand and Vona loamy sand have moderate limitations for roads due
to low strength.Valent sand has severe limitations for shallow excavations due to the potential for
cutbank caving.
For sanitary septic system absorption fields, these soil types have moderate to rapid permeability
characteristics. In places the sandy substratum does not properly filter the leachate, resulting in minor
limitations for this use.
PRIME FARMLANDS: None of the soil types covered by this application are considered prime
farmland.
SOIL EROSION POTENTIAL: All of the soil types found on this parcel have high erosion potential
due to wind. Appropriate measures should be taken to minimize wind soil erosion during construction
activities, such as avoiding disturbances to large areas. Once construction is complete,disturbed areas
that will not be used for normal operation should be stabilized with perennial vegetation, gravel or
pavement. During operation activities, it is recommended that water be applied on a regular schedule to
work areas to control dust and soil erosion. The NRCS can be contacted for more information on grasses
suitable for the site and instructions for planting.
OTHER: Unlined waste tire storage cells have the potential for contaminating ground water over time,
particularly with the soil types found on this land. It is recommended that the potential for contamination
of ground water be further investigated and considered in the approval process.
The applicant should contact Ron Broda, Vegetation Weed Management Specialist with the Weld County
Public Works Department at(970) 356-4000 X 3770 to develop a weed management plan.
The District welcomes the opportunity to review and comment on proposals such as this. Conservation
and wise use of out natural resources are foremost in our goals and objectives. We look forward to
CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT-SELF-GOVERNMENT
n
working with you in the future. If you or the applicant should have any questions,please feel free to
contact the NRCS representative at 303-659-7004.

COLORADO SUBJECT: USR-1361, Jarrald and Faye Jamison
Tire Mountain
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal; this project falls primarily under the Use by
Special Review Standards. Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section 23. Our comments and
requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
WCR 41 is designated on the Road Capital Improvement Plan in the County Wide Impact Fee Code Ordinance, Section
20-1-30, as a collector status road, which requires an 80-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot
right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Code,
Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line.
Traffic Counts: The average daily traffic count (ADT)for WCR 41 was 1,470 vehicles taken 8/5/2002.
Tire Mountain entered into a Road Maintenance Agreement with the Weld County Public Works Department in 1989 for
the owner's use of ingress and egress of WCR 41 from the tire landfill/storage/recycling facility. The owner agreed to pay
the amount equivalent to 9% of the surface cost for two miles of WCR 41 from the end of the existing asphalt at WCR 22
north to the ingress/egress point at WCR 26. The improvements consisted of eight inches of aggregate base course and
three inches of hot bituminous pavement. The finished cross section reflects a 24-foot wide road with four-foot graveled
shoulders.
REQUIREMENTS:
Future Right-of-Way: The applicant shall reserve an additional ten feet of property parallel to WCR 41 right-of-way for
future build out.
Access/Off-Street Parking/Loading or Unloading: There is existing accesses associated with this facility. Utilize these
access points. The off-street parking spaces including the access drive circulation through the cell area shall be surfaced
with gravel or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. The applicant identified the minimum of a
50-foot fire lane between cell areas to accommodate any emergency vehicles. The applicant should provide adequate
documentation from the appropriate fire and emergency response jurisdictions that a 50-foot minimum width is adequate
to accommodate this facility.
Storm Water Drainage: The State of Colorado, Department of Health and Environment, Hazardous Material and Waste
Management Division, has in place regulations for solid waste and disposal sites and facilities. I refer this portion of the
storm water drainage plan to the Health and Environment Department as it deals with solid waste disposal
The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that 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 sheriff's office has no concerns with this Special Use Permit. The sheriffs office
would however be willing to provide a program entitled Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design to the developer. This program reduces the likelihood of criminal
activity at a specific location by"hardening" it to crime.
The Sheriff's Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the
resources recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Board of County
Commissioners or as indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was
developed. I have no other comments on this proposal.

Section 32: S/2N/2SE/4Weld County, Colorado R E C E g V E
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Patina Oil & Gas Corporation ("Patina") has been contacted by Weld County Department of Planning
Services regarding the proposed Site Specific Development Plan and Special Use Permit for a Commercial
Junkyard and Salvage Yard on portions of the captioned property ("Property"). Patina operates the Webb
32-9J5, 32-10J5 oil and gas wells ( the "Wells"), associated pipelines and production facilities located on
and immediately adjacent to the Property. Patina also has the right to drill a new well located south of the
Wells. Patina is concerned about the impact the proposed development will have on Patina's ability to
produce, operate and maintain the Wells, pipelines, access roads and production facilities on the Property.
Patina has not had any direct discussion with Jerrald and Jaye Jamison ( the "Owners") relative to this
proposal. There is currently no agreement with the Owners and Patina has received no written confirmation
from the Owners that Patina's real property rights to use a reasonable portion of the surface for oil and gas
operations and development are being preserved.
Patina requests assurance from the Weld County Department of Planning Services that the proposed
development will not preclude Patina from producing, operating, drilling and maintaining its Wells and
related facilities. Until this matter is resolved by agreement with the Owners, Patina is not waiving its rights
as a leasehold owner. Any approval of the proposed development should be conditioned upon the
preservation of Patina's real property rights that allow it to make reasonable use of the surface of the lands
for oil and gas development and operations. The proposed development must take into account and provide
adequate setbacks from Patina's current and future well sites, pipelines and production facilities as well as
continuous access to these facilities.
Patina requests that these comments be entered into the record for the proposed development and that we
continue to be provided with advance notice of all other hearings affecting the Property. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact Dave Padgett at(303)389-3699.
Sincerely,

Dear Ken,
Pursuant to our recent phone conservation, it is the understanding of Patina Oil &Gas
Corporation("Patina")that your client may be willing to dedicate a tract of land on the captioned
parcel for the drilling of a future oil and gas well. We have also discussed this issue with your
engineer,Mr. Vern Nelson,and seem to have reached a consensus that a future well could he
located approximately 925' FEL and between 1400' to 1600' FSL of Section 32 Township 3
North,Range 65 West,6'h P.M. This location would place a future well no closer than 150' from
the nearest existing or proposed tire storage cell and within boundaries of the center drilling
window for aarffth well located in the quarter section pursuant to Rule 318A. You may recall that
Patina would need a drill pad with dimensions of approximately 200'X 300'. Attached is a sketch
showing the approximate location of the future drill site,pipeline and access road in relationship
the existing and proposed surface features.Please review this letter and the attached sketch with
your client. If they are acceptable, we would appreciate your revising the plat submittal to Weld
County to reflect this amendment.If our proposal is acceptable,Patina will notify Weld County
Department of Planning Services and formally remove our objection to your USR and plat.
I will be out of the office from September 3'd through September 11`h. Please discuss this matter
with David Siple in my absence so that it can be resolved prior to your September 4th hearing. Mr.
Siple can be reached at(303)389-3668.
