Cy ^Y 6060 Broadway "sue ON OF N- -Denver,Colorado-80216 626-1192) December 11, 1980 • • Lis. Cathy Gertzberger Department of Planning Weld County Centennial Center . • 913 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 10631 Dear Ms. Gertzberger: Recently Colorado Division of Wildlife (CROW) personnel discovered that Weld County Disposal, Inc. was once again in violation of their special use permit and verbal agreements of the past twp years. The specific violation that I refer to is the discharge of hazardous wastes into unprotected and unscreened evaporation ponds. This discharge reduces the effectiveness and efficiency of the recycling facility and exposes the public, to certain health and safety hazards. The incident occurred on or about November 12, 1-980. The south evapora- tion -pond was 65 Qercent covered -with a petroleum product and the east pond 15 percent covered. -The source of the product, which has the _con- sistency of axle grease, appears to have originated from the truck di-s- charge pit. This incident is just the latest in a series of operational deficiencies which have occurred almost continuously the last four years For the record, Weld County Disposal, Inc. began operation in early 1976 without either a Weld County or Department of Health permit. At that time seepage of salt water and oil spillage from the retaining ponds seas observed. After several hearings, Weld County Disposal, Inc. seas issued a special use permit. Included in the -permit were development standards on the screening of two pits and lining of ponds -with bentonite. Of importance are two statements made by representatives of Weld County Disposal -before the Weld County Planning Commission on October 19, 1976 and Weld County Commissioners on December 13, 1976. Weld County Disposal, Inc. stated -categorically that "-any pit which exhibited an oil slick would be screened and they would assume responsibility to all overflows". In addition, they gave several commitments on operating procedure which . - are on record. ` C V I.G'J zt h ; C EiIV J 21 DEP-ARTMENT OF NATURALitE50URCE5,Monte Poscoe,fxecutive Director.

( C Ms. Cathy Gertzberger December 11, 1980 Page 2 Little monitoring of Weld County Disposal, Inc. took place in 1977, how- ever, oil spillages on site were reported. On May 3, 1978, an oil slick was observed on one of the Weld County Disposal retaining ponds and im- proper operating procedures noted. Wildlife mortality was also observed. This pond was not screened as per their special use permit. No author-, itative action was taken. In 197-9 several repeated violations of state statute and county regulation were again committed. Some of which are: ,- documented loss of waterfowl on April 16, 1979. The number of birds affected may have been several hundred - further reported loss of waterfowl in .late April - loss of birds observed (6-11-79) - oil slick on unscreened retaining pond (6-11-79) - salt water seepage (8-17-79) - broken dike -and oil seepage (8-17-79) - construction and use of another pond without a permit (9-21=79) - oil spillage and improper maintenance (9-21-79) - improper disposal (10-5-79). Clearly the events which occurred in 1978 and 1979 indicate that Weld County Disposal, Inc. did not in any way, shape or form, fulfill the dictates of the Commission as recorded in their S.U.P. and hearing records. Weld County Disposal, Inc. was subsequently mited for their unauthorized 1979 -activities and appeared before the Commission on 10-31-79. At that time, Weld County Disposal, Inc. promised faithfully they would operate and maintain the site as described in previous meetings. They would maintain oil free evaporation ponds, secytle all petroleum products, prevent spillage and maintain the integrity of all -dikes. Weld County Disposal, Inc. was granted a permit by the Commission and informed that any deviation would result in a requirement -that all pits be covered with screen. As of this writing, we find that Weld County Disposal, Inc. has again violated the dictates of the -Weld County Commission. Further oil spillage has occurred, the recycling plant is no longer in use and two ponds are, in part, covered with oil residue. To date Weld County Dispos-al, Inc. has not -conducted business in good faith and has repeatedly violated its commitments and the dictates of the Commission, despite the reprievals and allowances given them. Ms. Cathy Gertzbei r • December 11, 1980 Page 3 It is therefore the recommendation of she Colorado Division of Wildlife that Weld County Disposal, Inc. be ordered to _.ease operation until they have built a completely enclosed and trouble-free system.

Lynch On 12 November 1980 at about 9:30 AM Don Bogart and myself went to Weld County Disposal Pits . The South pit 200 x 500 feet was over 65% covered by petroleum products . The East Pond was over 15% covered with the same greasy petroleum product. • Some high grade crude oils when pumped into water become greasy and some even get to look like a high grade axel grease . The stuff floating on those ponds was definitely of a petroleum base. It is my belief that it is a form of crude oil pumped from the separating tanks to the west of the Northwest pond. The new large pond to the East-Southeast is not in use yet. I recommend that we ask the Weld County Commissioners to close this operation until they put in completely enclosed system together. • GF P-A-S-8 i'._ ;=:TION REPORT Weld County Disposal Site No. VI-119:79:15 =gal Description of Property Pt. NWA NWP Section 12, TIN, R66W Date November 14, 1980 Time 2:00 p.m. After receiving complaints fran Wildlife Department about the oil on the surface of the pits, inspection confinucd that approximately one-third of the surface of lagoon number one is covered with oil and the pit to the east has a small portion in the western corner covered with oil. I spoke personally to Darryl McKnight, operator, and reminded him that three weeks ago I warned him that he better keep the oil skimmed off the surface of all pits. He remembered that conversation and advised me that he has hired Flint Water Service to skim, but due to the cold weather it is a very slow process. While I was there Darryl called Flint for the first time today to see if they were aiming to do more skimming. IA.cause of the late hour of the day neither Darryl or myself felt that they would be returning today. I warned Darryl that it is very important that he keep on top of all these matters as the County intends to enforce the existing Development Standards and future Development Standards. Further, I advised him to call ire anytime he foresees a problem or that I can help him and to work with the ut,LnbL urgency to get the new Special Use Permit submitted to the Department of Planning Services. He gave me a copy of Chen and Associates report of October 30, 1980 which appears to confirm that the furtherest pit to the east passes all compaction and penmiability tests. This report will be given to John Hall and Building Inspection Department by.me. I also spoke to Guy Harvey, owner of the site, long distance in Tampa, Texas, warned him that County Commissioners intend to go into court for an injunction to force Weld County Disposal to either screen the pits or to keep them skimmed continuously to avoid any problem with wildlife in the future. Further I infoimed Guy that a show cause hearing will take affect in 30 days to shut this site down completely, unless the . :';:r="-ION REPORT i Weld County Disposal Site No. VI-119:79:15 -egal Description of Property Pt.

Guy Harvey confined that a new vacuum truck will be leaving Texas to be delivered at this site later on next week, which will be left on site permanently to skim the site as needed.

I notified Tan Lynch of the Division of Wildlife that skinning was taking place. While on site I noted that recent pimping into the big lagoon to the East had created a bad washout in two places. I notified John Hall of the same. Upon each return trip to this site; it is apparent that the current operator is working very hard to cooperate with the County and to improve the existing conditions. • g Inspector INSPECTION REPORT Name Weld County Disposal No. 119 Legal Description of Property Date November. 25, 1980 Time • Inspection reveals vacuum truck is on site. Darryl McKnight advised me if had arrived a week ago. Lagoon #1 has quite a bit of oil left to skim off the northeast corner of the pond. Darryl felt he could have it done in a half a day barring more weather problems. H2 has been hampered in the past few days by a snow storm. The northern pit is free of oil. The largest pit to the east has fluid in it which was transferred from Lagoon #1 several weeks ago when Lagoon Ill was about to overflow its dykes. No more fluid has been transferred to the furthest east pit since that date. John Hall has advised me that said pit has passed all _ permeability and compaction tests and that a letter will be forthcoming from him immediately to be,attached to the building permit so that the building permits can be finaled. I picked up the special use permit application and plot plan and will deliver them for Darryl McKnight to the Department of Planning Services and advised him • Chuck Cunliffe will be in touch with him regarding a.date for the special use permit hearing before the Planning Commission. • More positive progress has been made since my last inspection. • • CEG:rjg r j g Zoning Inspector 12-2-SO Weid County Planning Commission Page -2- constructed and approved to these specifications.

At a subsequent meeting held on December 1, 1980, you requested that a letter be drafted that more clearly defines the contents of the application, spec- ically the plates (maps) . At the same meeting you indicated the detailed descrip- tion of the operation, as presented in the applicatin report was sufficient. Con- sequently no further discussion of the operation is being presented in this letter. The origional S.U.P. (Special Use Permit SUP 319:76:24) was issued for the subject project during the fall of 1976. On August 21, 1976, an amendment to the original permit (SUP 396:79:19) was sought and approved. The Development Standards developed on the recent SUP Permit requires "changes to the Special Use Permit Plans and/or de- velopment standards shall require approval of another special use permit before such changes are allowed". Because a new evaporation pond has been constructed, and an additional future evaporation pond is proposed, a second amendment to the original has been submitted (see reference) . This second amendment has been assigned a number by Weld County Planning Commission (SUP 454:80:44) . A total of three reproductable Mylar plates (maps). were presented with the referenced project application. The following is a discription of each of the plates (maps) in an order which they are being presented.

No provisions for rapid drainage of the rorxis are FrolusExi. - 3 - SITE CONDITIONS The site is presently developed and located approximately 5 miles west of Hudson. Existing development consists of plant facilities and a small bentonite lined pond within the northwest corner. Two non-lined ponds are located immediately to the south and west, which were being drained at the time v our investigation. Due to past site grading,' the topographic relief across the site is irregular, with an elevation differential of approximately 14 feet down to the south, southeast. Within the low area at the southeast corner of the proposed main pond, the ground surface was wet and had a chemical odor apparently caused by previous pond leakage. This area may also have been cut for borrow material to construct the existing embankments. Spear Canal crosses the southeast corner of the site. Vegetation consists predaninantly of weeds. SUBSOIL CONDITIONS The subsoil conditions were investigated by drilling 11 explora- tory holes within the embankment and pond bottom areas at the approximate locations shown on Fig. 1. Graphic logs of the subsoil profiles encountered at the test hole locations are shown on Figs. 2 and 3. Generally, the existing embanlanent fill and natural subsoils consists predominantly of fairly clean to silty and clayey sands overlying stiff clays below approximate depth, 10 to 20 feet or deeper. Field penetration resistance tests indicate the existing embankment fill to be predaninantly loose and the underlying natural sands to be loose to medium dense. Direct shear test results presented on Figs. 5 and 6, indicate the sands to have moderate shear i - 4 - strength characteristics in their natural state and when compacted. Canpressibility tendencies of the sands are shown on Fig. 4. Gradation analyses, presented a:,Figs. 7 through 9, show the sands to be fine to medium-grained. The underlying clays are medium stiff to stiff and contain sane interlensed sands. At Test Hole 10, coarse grained sands were encountered below the clays at depth 18 feet. Groundwater depths were relatively high and encountered fran near ground surface to maximum depth 13 feet. Within Test Holes 1, 2 and 5 through 7, water _level was encountered slightly below to above natural ground surface. Water table, at least in this area, appears to be unusually high, possibly due to prior pond leakage. At the north end of the site, Holes 3 and 9 through 11, water level approximately coincided with the top of the aatderlying clay layer. PCt1D CONSTRUCTION RE7COMENIATICt The natural soils at the site are suitable for construction of embankment fill-cut sections having a maximum slope of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical). Differential settlement beneath embankment areas due to foundation loading and wetting should be tolerable for the proposed construction. The following design and construction details should be observed: (1) The existing ground surface should be cleared of all vegetation and existing embankment fill sections removed. A nominal size key trench, 3 feet deep and 8 feet wide at the base, should be excavated beneath the new embankment crest. Since a positive — 5 - cutoff will not be made, excavation need not extend below groundwater level unless existing fill extends to greater depth. If this occurs, pumping to lower the artificially high water table may be required. The exposed surface within the entire pond area should then be scarified a minimum 6 inch depth, • moistened and compacted. (2) Fill placed within embankment sections and beneath the pond bottom should be compacted to at least 95% of standard Proctor density (ASTM D-698) at a moisture content near optimum. On-site sands obtained during excavation or similar soils from adjacent site locations are suitable for use as fill material. (3) Interior slopes should be over built and trimmed back immediately prior to liner placement to insure proper compaction and minimize moisture loss at the slope face. (4) Cut and fill slopes subjected to proposed impoundment depths should be stable at a maximum 3:1 design grade. Minor sloughing of the 5:1 interior slope at the water surface could occur and require some maintenance. Use of slope protection would reduce the potential for localized sloughing. (5) E7nban)anent sections subjected to occasional vehicular traffic should have a minimum crest width of 12 feet. This type traffic should not significantly affe^t the stability of the embankment for the design configuration. A gravel surfacing can be utilized to minimize wind erosion or rutting of the surface. (6) The bentonite lining material should be a high swelling, commercially produced grade. We recommend a minimum application - 6 - rate of 8 lbs. per square foot thoroughly mixed with the upper 8 inches of soil to obtain a relatively impervious liner material (less than 1 foot per year). Compaction of the liner should be to at least 95% of standard Proctor density. In-place applica- tion and mixing of the bentonite per manufacturer recommendations should be feasible. The contractor should be aware of possible problems with mixing and compacting on slopes. Sane cracking of the seal could occur as the result of wetting and drying. The high swelling type bentonite should help healing of the cracks. We also recommend a minimum 6 inch compacted soil layer cover the liner which will help protect it against degradation. Protection of the liner against erosion due to agitation at inlets should also be considered. (7) Existing groundwater levels at the site are relatively high. If these high levels were artifically formed due to past pond leakage, natural lowering should occur. We recannend monitoring to verify this, especially adjacent to the emergency pond. If pond bottom elevation is placed close to water level, there is a risk of liner rupturing due to excessive hydrostatic head. At the north end of the proposed main pond, the underlying clay layer could cause a temporary high perched water level to develop. We recommend the pond bottom in this area be elevated or the clays excavated to provide a minimum 3-foot depth of sand below the clay liner. If a lower pond bottom elevation is desired in this area or other areas where water table is high, extensive under drainage below the liner may be required. - 7 - Consideration should also be given to drainage of off-site surface waters around the einbanlatent to prevent excessive ponding depth and possible hydrostatic uplift. MISCELLANBXE . This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices in this area for the use of the client for design purposes. The conclusions and recamiendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory holes drilled at the locations indicated An the exploratory hole plan. The nature and extent of variations between the exploratory holes may not bed evident until excavation is performed. If, during construction, soil, rock and ground water conditions appear to be different from those described herein, this office should be advised at once so that re-evaluation of the recannendations may be made. We recannend on-site observation of excavations and testing of fill placement ty a soil engineer. ( h AND ASSCCIATES, INC. wa . r r_ `' S even L. Pawlak,"P. . _ Reviewed BY Richard C. Hepao , P.E.

Frank A.Traylor,M.D. Governor 18 '16 Executive Director January 27, 1981 Vickie Traxler Assistant Zoning Administrator Weld County Department of Planning Services 915 - 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Weld County Disposal Dear Ms. Traxler, It is this Division's position that the proposed disposal pond does not conflict with any of this Departments concerns, at the present time. This office feels that for Weld County to be adequately served by existing oil brine waste facilities, such as Weld County Disposal, Inc. , these facili- ties must have adequate storage capacity to operate correctly. The Division requires a minimum of 8 lb/ft2 of bentonite clay be admixed with the soil to form an adequate liner to produce a permeability of 10-8 cm/sec. or less. Additionally this Division will require approved speci- fications for the proposed evaporation pond, along with sufficient docu- mentation that the required permeability was attained. Finally this office would like to point out that on page 3 of Mr. McKnights' letter, of November 20, 1980, there is an incorrect statement pertaining to the minimum freeboard required for all evaporation ponds. It is felt that for pond A to be operated correctly and safely, that the freeboard be at least six (6) feet. For further clarification on this point please refer to the enclosed memo dated February 14, 1980, which states the above re- quirement. If you need further clarification on any of these points, -please feel free to contact this office. Since ly y ales G. Roberts, P.E.

Mr. Pawlak discussed some reworking he felt was required in the Northeast portion of the lagoon which has subsequently been done. The permeability test results (of Chen 4nd Associates letter of January 15, 1980) indicate that the value of R = 2x10-( cm/sec has boon obtained. This is considered impermeable enough to prevent ground water contamination. It .is therefore, my recommendation that the Cease and Desist Order against Weld County Disposal be retracted with the following provisions: 1. Weld County Disposal put adequate cover depth on the North Slope of said lagoon as per Chen and Associates letter of February 1 , 1980. 2. That the owner be made aware that a review of fitness of the liner will be performed at the owners expense in 5 years, in 1985, or at any time that inspection and review of operations by the Water Quality Control Division results in suspected leakage. 3. The temporary lagoon on the east side of the site should be evacuated by pumping into the new lagoon and subsequently the eastern lagoon site should be stripped of contaminated soils and said soils deposited in the newly constructed lagoon. 4. A minimum freeboard of 6' be maintained at all times. The second condition is necessary because compatibility of clays with certain fluids is not thoroughly understood in the science of groundwater hydrology at this time. Additionally construction defects may go undetected without subsequent investigations at some later date. Once the above is accomplished, Weld Co. Disposal should be allowed to commence operation of the lagoon. Vicki Traxler Weld Co . Planning Office Reference Weld County Disposal Inc . On Janurary 31 , 1981 Pond A had a 5% plus covering of' crude oil on it . Ponds B & C had a trace of oil on them. More effort will be required to keep these ponds clear. In the past this operation has destroyed a considerable number of birds . These ponds should haveflagging wires placed no more than twenty feet apart. 1i or ra X,}fr „ •4 f vP�1, 4 wy X f m n ' 2 kl '� r lie* ...a J1 t F P- tt Jet _ }: _3 b yA MAILING LIST - WELD COUNTY DISPOSAL, INC.

A. Trunkenbolz 609 South 1st Street Brighton, Colorado 80601 s MINUTES OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION February 3, 1981 Public Hearing to consider the comprehensive revision of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and Map. Tape 46 - side 1 (latter 1/3) Allen Jost introduced into the record the legal notice published in the Weld County Newspapers announcing the public hearing, the records of meetings held during the last two years , copies of notices and names and addresses of persons and organizations to whom information was sent, and comments from residents received regarding the zoning revision. There were several concerned residents who wanted to participate in the meeting, they were: Fred Witsell from Public Service Company who had some comments but expressed overall satisfaction with the proposed revisions . Kris Varrell who had a question to be answered later. Bob White from the Briggsdale area who had some comments and suggested ammendments as a result of the Weld County Charter. Kathy Ley for the League of Women Voters spoke regarding their positive reaction to the efforts made to revise the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and Map, and thanked the staff for keeping them informed. Ron Bernahard expressed his difficulites in obtaining the new book containing the proposed revisions . He also asked the question about exsisting uses and would they then become non-conforming uses. There were some questions in regard to legal non-conforming use and about intermittent use with cattle. Allen Jost responded. Later discussion involved the number of cattle that could be on the property under the proposed Zoning Ordinance without having to obtain a permit in comparison to the existing ordinance. Tape 46 - side 2 Adolf Bohlander had some comments about zoning in regards to irrigation ditches and irrigations facitliies . He was concerned about water and preserving ditches and farming in the overall plan. Allen Jost responded and there followed general discussion. Tom Honn elaborated on the same subject. Mr. Bohlander had some additional comments regarding State Laws and Regulations , and the Flood Plain ordinance that was adopted • in April 1980 was also mentioned. Manuel Pineda made some statements about preserving the farmers land. He doesn't know if he wants it preserved or not. He was concerned about not being able to change the zoning and the use, once it had been done. The statement was made by Bob Ehrlich that the proposed ordinance is much more liberal than the old one. MINUTES OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Public Hearing on the proposed revisions of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance February 3, 1981 Page 2 Tape 46 - side 2 Jerry Jamison, who owns part of a 320 acre parcel in the southern part of the county, and uses it as an auto wrecking area, had some concerns about the change of their area from Industrial to Agricultural . One of these concerns was the possibility of a change in the value of the proterty. Allen Jost responded to his question. Tape 47 - side 1 Mr. Jamison said that the county could expect them to vigorously resist the change. Norman Brown, representing the Ag. Council , thinks a lot of the paper can and should be eliminated. He also questioned the need for some of the definitions . There were some comments on State Law in regard to agricultural buildings not needing to have building permits . This was discussed and clarified. Weld County building code does require the permits even if the State doesn 't. The Board of County Commissioners are currently considering this issue. Mr. Brown also discussed the possibility of setting a precedent for more changes outside municiple areas. Allen Jost responded to Brown's comments. John Hochmiller spoke regarding the same 320 acre parcel referred to earlier in the hearing by Jerry Jamison. He had the question about what is the comprehensive plan for that area. Allen Jost responded to this and then elaborated on this issue, extensive discussion followed. The problem with this , according to Mr. Hochmiller, is that the ground is not compatable with farming; it' s best use, is the salvage yard. Mr. Otis stated he would like to take this question under advisement. Tape 47 side 1 Mr. Hochmiller' s concerns were again expressed and stressed the fact that they really don't know what the long range plans will be. Pat Endsley, who is also a member of the "320 club" spoke. She was concerned about the uses allowed in the "I" zone. Allen Jost responded and listed the uses allowed in the current I zone. Ernie Ryberg also holds a lease on the same property. He had a letter from Tom Honn which contradicted the proposed redistricting of the property in question. Mr Otis pointed out that we don' t want to make • the rules as we go. He again stated he would like to consider this issue in a work session. Request was made for another meeting. Discussion followed. Mr. Otis will appoint two members of the Planning Department staff along with the land owners in this area to try to resolve this issue. Mr. Anson will meet with Tom Honn, and Allen Jost to clarify for Mr. Hochmiller which uses are legally allowed in the proposed zone district. MINUTES OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Public Hearing on the proposed revisions of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance February 3, 1981 Page 3 Tape 47 - side 2 Heather Ryan, representing Flat Iron, expressed concern about redistricting their property. It is felt by them that their property is not suitable for agriculture. She relayed from Mike Hart, an employee of Flat Iron, a request for a postponement on adoption. Mr. Kiefer asked whether the problem could be worked out. She felt it could Mr. Witsell , from Public Service Company, expressed some concern about redistricting. He requested that major facilities of a public utility be made uses allowed by permit in the I-3 district. Thomas Rounds echoed the comments of the league of Women Voters in commending the Planning Staff for doing a good job. Kris Varrell had her question about zoning answered. It currently is "I" . "I" is proposed to be redistricted to "I - 2" . Bob Ehrlich made some comments regarding the proposed new zoning. He stated that the new ordinance is better than the existing regulations . The Chairman appointed Jack Holman and Wilber Wafel to work with the Planning Staff to address some of the questions brought up during the hearing. MOTION: Bob Ehrlich moved this matter be continued until the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission, which will be on February 17, 1981 , at 1 :30 p.m. Seconded by Jerry Kiefer. Passed with a unanimous voice vote. Meeting ajourned at 6:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, gee._ c-nie,-,.., Jeanene Moore, Secretary SITE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The operation to be conducted on the subject facility consists of an oil field fluids (saline formation water) recycling and evaporation pond system. The evaporation pond method of disposal is necessary in the Weld County area because the more conventional injection well disposal method is prohibited for geological reasons. The oil waste fluids accepted at the site are transported in by tanker trucks serving Weld County's petroleum exploration and develop- ment companies. The transported liquids are discharged into a concrete sump that physically separates the formation water from the petroleum hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are then pumped to one of the 3 (300 barrel capacity) steel tanks for further refining and commercial treatment. The formation water is pumped into Evaporation Pond A. Refer to Plate I for evaporation pond locations . From Evaporation Pond A, the formation water is further distributed into one of the remaining Evaporation Ponds B or C. The recovered liquid hydrocarbons that have accumulated in the 300 barrel steel tanks is refined and upgraded utilizing a mobile 300 gallon tanker equipped with a Heater Treater and Filtering System. This mobile system replaces the existing stationary heating and filtering vessel located approximately 100 feet east of the storage tanks. The smaller screened pit located south of the storage tanks functions as a temporary oil holding structure and safety feature in the event the heater treater system malfunctions. Trapped oil contained in this holding structure will be recycled through the tanks, mobile heater and filtering system for proper processing. -1- S A total of 3 evaporation ponds are presently in use. One future pond is being proposed. Evaporation Ponds A and B have been formally approved for operation under a previous Special Use Permit Amendment. Evaporation Pond C is presently operating having been authorized conditionally in the form of a resolution issued October 22, 1980 by the Weld County Commissioners. Evaporation Pond D is proposed for future use. Prior to actual construction and use of Pond D, a geotechnical investigation and engineering design will be completed. Future plans may incorporate a spraying system capable of increasing the evaporation loss and extending the operating life of the facility. Of the three existing ponds in use, Evaporation Ponds A and C have been lined with bentonite. Evaporation Pond B is unlined. However, it is presently being evacuated by pumping the stored water into the adjacent lined Pond C, located to the east. When Evaporation Pond B is pumped dry, it will be lined with bentonite in the same manner as the previously constructed lined ponds. An existing building located near the site's access functions as an office and living quarters for a 24 hour security guard. Employees will number two or three, with one or two persons working varied shifts as the need dictates. The vehicle traffic volume will range from 0 to 25 tankers per day depending upon the quantity of drilling activity in the area. There will be no oil field drilling equipment stored on the property. Parking will be provided for employees and trucks loading and unloading. All on-site roads will be graded and gravel surfaced. -2- I The oil containment pond located immediately south of the three storage tanks is presently screened with a one inch wire mesh to prevent migrating game fowl from lighting thereon. A minimum two foot free board will be maintained for all evapora- tion ponds. In addition, all ponds will be skimmed whenever necessary to keep the surface free of oil accumulation. Oil field fluids will emit a minimum amount of odor either in storage or in processing. The higher noise level will merely be a result of ingressing and egressing transport trucks. There is no water supply need or requirement for the site operation. Domestic water for use in the office/dwelling is provided from an exist- ing domestic well drilled on the site. The existing water well and in- dividual septic system were designed and installed consistent with stan- dards promulgated by the Weld County Health Department. The entire 40 acre site is presently fenced along the perimeter. A livestock crossing and a security gate have been constructed at the site entrance. It is our understanding that to date, all building and excavation permits have been obtained and all fees paid to the Weld County Building Inspection Department. -3- Weld County Planning Commission November 20, 1980 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Attention: Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Assistant Zoning Administrator Subject : Special Use Permit Amendment Application for expanding an Oil Fields (formation water) Recycling and Evaporation Pond Facility Located Approximately 4.5 Miles East of the City of Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado Dear Mr. Cunliffe: Attached for your review is the required operational data and site maps for the above referenced project.

Job No. 20,674 Weld County Disposal P.O. Box 304 Ft. Lupton, Colorado 80621 Gentlemen: As requested, we observed construction of the pond liner at the subject site on July 1 and August 13, 1980. We previously conducted similar inspections for a pond to the west of the subject pond, reported under our Job No. 19,477. The subject pond will be on the order of 260' x 500' in plan dimensions and 10 feet in depth. Project specifications call for a 7-inch thick bentonite sand liner compacted to a minimum of 95% standard Proctor density. Seven pounds per cubic foot of bentonite is required to be mixed with the on site silty sand. After construction of the compacted bentonite sand liner: a loose soil layer should be placed on top of the liner for protection. At the time of our osbervation on July 1, 1980, a total of 9 in- place density tests were taken in the bentonite sand liner. Results of this testing are presented on the attached Daily Report 1. Test results indicate compaction of the liner to be generally good. Typical material encountered during testing was sampled and tested in our laboratory in accordance with ASTM procedures to determine moisture- density relationships. Results of this testing are attached. In addition to the compaction tests taken, 6 samples of the liner material were obtained and tested in our laboratory to determine if the bentonite has been uniformly mixed into the natural sands. Results of this testing are presented on Table 1. These tests indicate an erratic mixture of the bentonite material. Two of the samples were nonplastic and showed a very low percentage of fines. Field observations also indicated the bentonite was in lenses and did not appear to be uniformly mixed. In addition, the liner was found to be on the order of 6 to 10 inches thick with the upper 2 to 3 inches consisting of loose uncompacted material. This resulted in an average compacted liner thickness of 4 to 5 inches which is less than that specified. It was recommended that the entire pond be remixed and the upper loose soils oanpacted to develop the specified liner thickness. OFFICES: CASPER • COLORADO SPRINGS • GLENWOOD SPRINGS • SALT LAKE CITY Weld County Disposal August 28, 1980 Page 2 We again observed pond construction on August 13, 1980 to test compaction of the liner material 4nd to observe the mixing of the bentonite. Compaction test results presented on Daily Report 2, generally indicate good compaction with the exception of a test taken in the northeast corner of the pond bottom. Six samples of the liner material were obtained and tested in our laboratory to determine the uniformity of the bentonite sand liner material. Results of this testing are also presented on Table 1. Test results indicate generally good bentonite mixture over the north half of the pond and poor mixture over the south half. Approximately 1 to 2 inches of standing water was found over a large area in the southeast portion of the pond which prevented testing and observation of the liner material. We recan►rend that the entire south half of the pond be reworked and recampacted. It may be necessary to add additional bentonite to this half of the pond. The thickness of the compacted liner varied from 5 inches to 8 indzes in the areas sampled. From 1 to 3 inches of loose material was found on top of the compacted liner. We r=commend this loose material be compacted to provide the recommended 7-inch compacted liner thickness. In addition to the above testing, a sample of the liner material was obtained on cur July 1 visit from the center of the pond for purposes of conducting a permeability test. The sample was remolded to approximately 96% of standard Proctor density at optimum moisture content and subjected to a 144 psf surcharge loading. The permeability rate was measured between July 15 and August 15, 1980, and found to be approximately 2.3 x 10-8 cm./sec. This rate is generally considered to be impervious. We believe a properly mixed and compacted liner material should perform properly. If you have any questions or if we can be of further service, please call.

Job No. 20,674 Weld County Disposal P.O. Box 307 Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621 Gentlei:en: As requested, we performed a permeability test on a sample of the bentonite-sand liner material at the north half of the pond. The results of this test were presented in our letter dated August 28, 1980. Samples of the bentonite-sand liner obtained from the south half of the pond on October 13, 1980 indicated Atterberg limits and silt- clay contents similar to those of the sample tested for permeability. In our opinion, the permeability rate of the material placed in the south half of the pond is similar to that of the material placed in the north half.

The rains that occurred after the spill, how..ver, decreased by dilution the salinity of the water in the irrigation ditch and substantially decreased the possibility of crop damage. The spill water just above the temporary dam, which due to a rinsing effect has the highest salt content,would be classified by USDA as a C3-S2, high salinity/medium sodium water, that could be used for irrigation with certain restrictions. Since the spill water consistancy was similar to that of oil-field waters, the American Petroleum Institute analytical scheme was used to per— form the water quality evaluations.

I was notified of this spill on Thursday, 8/16/79, _by Paul Williamson of the Denver office. My investigation of this _ occurred on 8/22/79 and-revealed the following information: - _ 1: The spill occurred sometime very early Wednesday morning, 8/15/79, - - - --= znd was caused by _a_ dike_failure on the southeast _corner of the - _ _ - _ - ___-_- - southern most pond. The-pond was almost full when _the spill _occurred. _ _ The contents of the pond, oil brine water with a thin cover of oil, moved toward the east and filled the low area shown on the attached volume was full, the water moved into_ Speer Canal. - - _ _ _ - The operater, Mr. Bill Cannon, estimated that approximately 50% of pond's volume got into Speer_Canal. At the time, there was no flow -; in the canal. Almost all of the water that got into the canal was -- . -- _ -. : caught in a low section of the canal. 2. To clean up the spill, Mr. Cannon started hauling the water caught in Speer Canal back to the other pond operated by Weld County Disposal. The trapped water was almost removed when a rainstorm hit anci filled the low section of the canal. 3. On Thursday, 8/16/79, at eight in the morning, the spill was reported to Weld County Health Department by Ron Sheppard of the Farmer's Reservior and Irrigation Company, owners of Speer Canal. 4. On Thursday, 8/16/79, Mr. Cannon again started hauling out the contents of the low area of Speer Canal located near the Weld County Disposal Facility. This area was almost dry and another rainstorm hit. 5. To protect the farmers in their system, Farmer's Reservior and Irrigation Company constructed a temporary dam across Speer Canal. This dam was placed between county roads 14 and 16 and caught any water motonolmax-x�xx�axarmootx - leaving the_ low spot by'still_ • =-- - _---_ _�- _ _ _ _ _6.- Upon examination of the water remaining in the ditch, Mr. Cannon decided that its quality was acceptable. No further hauling was done. Mr Cannon begin repairing the. dike erosion caused by the spill. -- 7. A number of samples were taken during this period. The samples included a) the spilled oil brine water running into the ditch (8/15/79) b) a set of four samples of the ditch contents were taken on Tuesday morning (8/21/79) . The samples were taken above the spill, just ,` below the spill, further down from the spill, and at the temporary dam. c) a composite sample was taken at the site of the temporary dam on 's1- " Tuesday night. The sample consisted of equal volumes collected at the dam, 150 ft. upstream, and 300 ft. upstream. These samples were taken to Conref Labs and their results are attached.

Job No. 20,674 Weld County Disposal P.O. Box 304 Ft. Lupton, Colorado 80621 Gen tlemen: As requested, we observed construction of the pond liner at the subject site on July 1 and August 13, 1980. We previously conducted similar inspections for a pond to the west of the subject pond, reported under our Job No. 19,477. The subject pond will be on the order of 260' x 500' in plan dimensions and 10 feet in depth. Project specifications call for a 7-inch thick bentonite sand liner compacted to a minimum of 95% standard Proctor density. Seven pounds per cubic foot o bentonite is required to be mixed with the on sizc, silty sand. After construction of the compacted bentonite sand liner,, a loose soil layer should be placed on top of the liner for protection. At the time of our osbervation on July 1, 1980, a total of 9 in- place density tests were taken in the bentonite sand liner. Results of this testing are presented on the attached Daily Report 1. Test results indicate compaction of the liner to be generally good. Typical material encountered during testing was sampled and tested in our laboratory in accordance with ASTM procedures to determine moisture- density relationships. Results of this testing are attached. In addition to the compaction tests taken, 6 samples of the liner material were obtained and tested in our laboratory to determine if the bentonite has been uniformly mixed into the natural sands. Results of this testing are presented on Table 1. These tests indicate an erratic mixture of the bentonite material. Two of the samples were nonplastic and showed a very low percentage of fines. Field observations also indicated the bentonite was in lenses and did not appear to be uniformly mixed. In addition, the liner was found to be on the order of 6 to 10 inches thick with the upper 2 to 3 inches consisting of loose uncompacted material. This resulted in an average compacted liner thickness of 4 to 5 inches which is less than that specified. It was reccmn ended that the entire pond be remixed and the upper loose soils compacted to develop the specified liner thickness. OFFICES: CASPER • COLORADO SPRINGS s GLENWOOD SPRINGS • SALT LAKE CITY Weld County Disposal August 28, 1980 Page 2 We again observed pond construction on August 13, 1980 to test compaction of the liner material ani to observe the mixing of the bentonite. Compaction test results presented on Daily Report 2, generally indicate good compaction with the exception of a test taken in the northeast corner of the pond bottom. Six samples of the liner material were obtained and tested in our laboratory to determine the uniformity of the bentonite sand liner material. Results of this testing are also presented on Table 1. Test results indicate generally good bentonite mixture over the north half of the pond and poor mixture over the south half. Approximately 1 to 2 inches of standing water was found over a large area in the southeast portion of the pond which prevented testing and observation of the liner material. We recanirend that the entire south half of the pond be reworked and recompacted. It may be necessary to add additional bentonite to this half of the pond. The thidnness of the compacted liner varied fran 5 inches to 8 inches in the areas sampled. From 1 to 3 inches of loose material was found on top of the compacted liner. We rscmmmend this loose material be compacted to provide the recommended 7-inch compacted liner thickness. In addition to the above testing, a sample of the liner material was obtained on our July 1 visit from the center of the pond for purposes of conducting a permeability test. The sample was remolded to approximately 96% of standard Proctor density at optimum moisture content and subjected to a 144 psf surcharge loading. The permeability rate was measured between July 15 and August 15, 1980, and found to be approximately 2.3 x 10-8 an./sec. This rate is generally considered to be impervious. We believe a properly mixed and compacted liner material should perform properly. If you have any questions or if we can be of further service, please call. Sincerely, CHEN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

Job No. 20,674 Weld County Disposal P.O. Box 307 Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621 Gentlemen: As requested, we performed a permeability test on a sample of the bentonite-sand liner material at the north half of the pond. The results of this test were presented in our letter dated August 28, 1980. Samples of the bentonite-sand liner obtained from the south half of the pond on October 13, 1980 indicated Atterberg limits and silt- clay contents similar to those of the sample tested for permeability. In our opinion, the permeability rate of the material placed in the south half of the pond is similar to that of the material placed in the north half. If we can be of further service, please call.

APPLICANT : Highland Park West Investments CASE NUMBER: S-162 :79 :7 SUBJECT : Preliminary Plan - Highland Park West LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt. SW4, Section 15, T5N, R66W LOCATION: Z mile southwest of Greeley, south of Highland Hills Municipal Golf Course and north of U. S. Highway 34 Bypass APPEARANCE: Art Uhrich of ARIX and Dick Weber DISCUSSION: This proposal is for a proposed subdivision on approximately 146 acres with 114 lots proposed. Mr. Uhrich stated that the Highway Department was concerned about the access to the area south of the Greeley-Loveland Ditch which is not shown on the plat. They requested that some means of access other than the highway should be planned for this area. The Planning Staff had several concerns regarding the proposal, one being that the City of Greeley has indicated city water is available to the site providing the developer meet and initiate all city requirements. The Greeley Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposal conditional upon the development meeting City standards. The applicant' s intent as to whether or not the development will be built to City of Greeley standards which includes curb, gutter and sidewalks was not clear at this time. The present proposal does not include standards for curb, gutter and sidewalk. If the development is not to be built to City standards, it was the opinion of the Planning Staff that the City will not provide water service. If this occurs , the preliminary plan will not be consistent with the Subdivision Regulations . These regulations requires that water service will be available prior to approval of the plan. The staff was also concerned whether the subdivision will be served by a public sanitation system or on-lot sewage disposal system that will not result in water pollution. The Weld County Health Department has questioned the suitability of the septic systems. Since these were the concerns by the Planning Staff their recommendation at this time was to continue the hearing until some of these concerns had been satisfactorily resolved which was read into the record by Tom Honn. Dick Weber then presented a letter to the Planning Commission which states that they agree to develop the proposed subdivision according to the City of Greeley standards as it regards sidewalks, streets , water and sewer installations as requested by the Greeley Planning Commission in their meeting on August 28, 1979. There will be no septic systems which was a concern by the Weld County Health Department. John Hall of the Weld County Health Department stated that they Health Department would have no further concerns in this regard if the septic system is eliminated. ' Planning Couunission 'mutes Page 5 September 5, 1979 The Planning Staff also understood the the applicant is changing the street design of the Preliminary Plan to comply with the City of Greeley' s requests for access. These revisions will require additional review from the Weld County Engineering Department and Weld County Utility Board. General discussion followed. Chairman Carlson then asked if anyone present in the audience wished to make a statement regarding the application. At this time Josephine Jones asked several questions regarding whether or not the electrical lines would be above or below ground and if there was a provision for open space within a three miles radius. Jerry Paul stated he had not seen a copy of the revised plat which he was then shown by Mr. Uhrich indicating the street plan to him. Lawrence Smith and Diane Discoe expressed concern about 24th Street becoming a traffic problem and safety of children in the area. Harry Cross stated he was concerned about drainage from the area. Marge Speaker expressed concern about the entrance to the area which could create dust pollution because the street is not paved and was also concerned about the children in the area and their safety. She also felt there could be a problem with mosquitoes from the detention ponds. Discussion followed regarding responsibility for road maintenance. MOTION : Be it therefore resolved to recouiuiend approval and that the City explain and be more explicit regarding their street pattern and design. Motion by Frank Suckla, seconded by Don Billings. A vote of "aye" was cast by Frank Suckla, Don Billings, Chuck Carlson, Irma White, Fred Otis, and Jerry Kiefer. Mr. Ehrlich cast an abstention vote. Motion carried.

The change of zone application from "A" to "H" is on approximately 29 acres ; the "A" to "E" on approximately 123 acres . The total preliminary plan includes 168 acres. Mr. Sears first asked that the Planning Staff read their recommendation to the Planning Commission. Tom Honn read the Planning Staff' s recommendation for continuing the hearing for the change of zone requests only. The staff had several concerns regarding availability of water from the City of Greeley, whether or not the subdivision will be served by a public sanitation system or on-lot sewage disposal system. The County Engineer has also expressed several concerns as well as the City of Greeley which need to be resolved before the Planning Staff can make a recommendation on the proposal. Mr. Sears then commented that he feels this is the best conceived, most carefully planned subdivision he has ever been involved with and was very much concerned about some of the recommendations received by several referral agencies . He stated he was most anxious to have his "day in court" with them at the next scheduled Planning Commission hearing. He stated he feels they are at somewhat of a standstill regarding the water service. He also stated that the septic system was designed for installation of a total sewer system, but they must comply with the Greeley-Loveland Shareholders Agreement. There was also some discussion regarding 24th Street and the possibility of it becoming a collector street. Dr. Smith, surrounding property owner, again expressed concern about 24th street. He feels that when the city and the county meet regarding an issue of this nature that surrounding property owners should be included and asked for their comments since they live in the area in question. Victor Clifton also commented on the loss of prime agricultural farmland and concern for the safety of the children on 24th Street. Don Billings stated he found it somewhat unrelated that a property owner in a subdivision has objection to another subdivision. Discussion again followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to continue all three application based on the Planning Staff' s recommendation. Motion by Jerry Kiefer, seconded by Fred Otis. A vote of "aye" was cast by Irma White, Jerry Kiefer, Frank Suckla, Bob Ehrlich, Fred Otis , Don Billings, and Chuck Carlson. Motion carried. Election of Officers for 1979-1980.

NW4 NW4, Section 2, T1N, R67W LOCATION: Southeast of the intersection of County Roads 21 and 14 APPEARANCE: Steven Theede DISCUSSION: Mr. Theede stated they Continental Pipeline Company wants to have a crude oil truck unloading facility and a transfer facility to receive pipeline gathered crude into the facility for subsequent delivery by pipeline to their Fort Lupton station to increase the accuracy of measuring receipting volumes from truck transports . Three conditions on the original Special Use Permit were: 1) There would be no night loading; 2) Visual screening of the area; 3) An asphalt type driveway must be installed for access and egress from the facility. In regard to night loading, Mr. Theede stated that electrical lock-out equipment has been installed on the pump units which cuts power from 8 : 00 p.m. until 6 : 00 a.m. This virtually eliminates night hauling. An aluminum type lattice screening has been installed to screen equipment in the facility. He also stated that an asphalt access has also been installed. A 5, 000 barrel tank is presently at the facility to receive crude oil from the pipeline and to receive crude oil from trucks . They wish to install an additional two 500 barrel tanks to increase efficiency at the facility. Tom Honn then read the Planning Staff' s recommendation for approval, the Development Standards and the comments . Chairman Carlson then asked if anyone wished to express their opinion favorably or unfavorably regarding the request. At this time Mr. and Mrs . Jack Berger expressed their opposition because they feel the facility is not safe if the tanks were to explode as condensate is mixed with the oil and could cause a safety problem. They feel the facility is too close to homes in the area to be safe if there was a fire or explosion. Mr. Gilbert stated that they are in compliance with their permit now and assured them they are concerned • too about the safety of people in the area if there was an explosion. Discussion followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with the Development Standards to the Board of County Commissioners based on the Planning Staff' s recommendation.

The application is the same application that was attached to the Special Use Permit request approximately one year ago for a sewage treatment facility which was denied by the Board of County Commissioners . The Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Commission authorize the Chairman to sign for disapproval of the request. Discussion followed regarding this request.

Dear Mr. Winters: I have discussed with the owners of Weld County Disposal Inc. some of the problems we talked about on August 20, 1982. We are taking the following action: 1 . We will take action to drill the test wells required by the permit if not already drilled. If any wells have silted in we will re-drill them. We will also drill , or re-drill , them in such a way as to inhibit silting in the future. 2. We will check with our Engineers to determine the status of the emergency pit to insure compliance. The pit has not been used for water dumping. 3. We will also check on the status of the overflow dike and the measuring devices. 4. I have discussed with our employee the necessity of keeping oil skimmed off the pits and to maintain a six foot (6' ) freeboard on the lagoons. He will also check on any seepage around the settling pond. I will contact you later to give you an update on the progress of these changes. Yours very truly, James W. Smith JWS/bs cc: Ronald K.

The results of the calculations are attached hereto. As you can see, using the average of 300,000 barrels per year, we will eventually run out of storage capacity. However, this will be over five years down the road, and we have additional land available to construct additional pits. The engineer said it was not possible to accurately predict the effect of aeration since I have no specifications on the system. He did feel it would increase the evaporation, but the amount of increase would depend on how much water is directed into the air and exposed to the elements. The effect of the aeration could be evaluated after it is in operation. It is possible that the effect of the aeration could offset our deficit completely or at least make a dent in it. At any rate, I feel we will have sufficient storage to completely take care of the water disposal needs for some time. We will probably have to construct- additional pits later if the aeration system does not take up the slack. However, I feel our proposed pits are sufficient at this time. If you have any questions, let me know. WELD COUNTY DISPOSAL, INC. P.O. Box 505, Enid, Oklahoma 73701 By: 1 r ,i y .. .'- James W.

It is in an area of relative low density of game animals and birds. However, there is a considerable number of songbirds using the area on a seasonal basis as well as mourning dove. The greatest area of concern from our viewpoint is of course the matter of waterfowl. Since there have been some problems with ducks dying from getting into ponds with oil in the past, it is recommended that any pond that has oil in it at anytime should be protected. This should be done in such a manner that no wildlife could gain access to it. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to comment on this matter.

As recent as September 17, 1979, pond #4 was full of water and had an oil cover of approximately 35 percent of the surface area. Pond #2 has apparently just recently been rebuilt. Neither of these ponds has any protective screening in place. We recommend that no permit be granted because of past performance by Weld County Disposal, Inc. , and that the current operation be terminated. The fall migration of waterfowl makes it imperative that action be taken immediately.

Ken Webb of the Water Quality Control Division later advised you orally that if modifications of your facility were properly designed and constructed, then no permit would be required because there would then be no significant groundwater contami- nation problem, and your facility would not then be character- ized as a "subsurface disposal system. " Weld County Disposal Inc . and its agents made numerous repre- sentations to Mr. Webb that work on the disposal pits would be completed by the end of the summer. In fact, however , the necessary improvements have not been accomplished to date . In light of this situation, you should be advised that the Division intends to proceed with further enforcement action, including possibly a court injunction or a request for civil penalties , if - this project is not completed by December 1 , 1979 . Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Any ques- tions concerning the details of the work required should be directed to Chuck Roberts , at 320-8333 , ext. 3231 .

Groundwater table was relatively shallow, encountered at depth 2 to 13 feet below existing ground surface. (2) The natural subsoils are suitable for support of the proposed low embankment sections. Existing fill embankments within the new pond and emergency pond should he reconstructed. The on-site soils are suitable for use as embankment fill material. (3) A bentonite liner combined with the on-site soils can be utilized to seal the proposed ponds. Consideration should be given to design pond bottom elevation with respect to existing groundwater level and possible rise to prevent buildup of excessive hydro- static pressures and rupturing of the liner. - 2 - SCOPE This report presents the results of a subsoil investigation for the proposed evaporation ponds to be located at the southeast corner of County Roads 12 and 35, Weld County, Colorado. The report presents the general subsoil conditions and recommended pond construction procedures. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed evaporation ponds will consist of an emergency pond immediately south of the existing operating pond with the main pond located immediately to the east. Figure 1 shows the approximate pond locations. The ponds will utilize both cut and fill sections to obtain a bottom elevation of approximately 5082 for the main pond and 5086 feet for the emergency pond. Water impoundment depths will he on the order of 6 to 8 feet for both ponds. Tentative interior and exterior slopes of 5:1 and 3:1 (horizontal to vertical), respectively are proposed. Existing embankments located south and east of the existing operating pond will be removed and/or reconstructed. Estimated cut and fill depths with respect to natural ground surface, are estimated at 10 to 12 feet, respect ively. A beentonite liner is proposed to seal both ponds. The perimeter slopes will be revegetated and the embankment crest will have adequate width to pass light vehicular traffic. No provisions for rapid drainage of the ponds are proposed. - 3 - SITE CONDITIONS The site is presently developed and located approximately 5 miles west of Hudson. Existing development consists of plant facilities and a small bentonite lined pond within the northwest corner. Two non-lined ponds are located immediately to the south and west, which were being drained at the time of our investigation. Due to past site grading, the topographic relief across the site is irregular, with an elevation differential of approximately 14 feet down to the south, southeast. Within the low area at the southeast corner of the proposed main pond, the ground surface was wet and had a chemical odor apparently caused by previous pond leakage. This area may also have been cut for borrow material to construct the existing embankments. Spear Canal crosses the southeast corner of the site. Vegetation consists predominantly of weeds. SUBSOIL CONDITIONS The subsoil conditions were investigated by drilling 11 explora- tory holes within the embankment and pond bottom areas at the ;pptoximate locations shown on Fig. 1. Graphic logs of the subsoil profiles encountered at the test hole locations are shown on Fins. 2 and 3. Generally, the existing embankment fill and natural subsoils consists predominantly of fairly clean to silty and clayey sands overlying stiff clays below approximate depth, 10 to 20 feet or deeper. Field penetration resistance tests indicate the existing embankment fill to be predominantly loose and the underlying natural sands to he loose to median dense. Direct : hear to 't re' ult presented on Figs. 5 and 6, indicate the sands to havr, rtxlerate shear - 4 - strength characteristics in their natural state and when competed. Compressibility tendencies of the sands are shown on Fig. 4. Gradation analyses, presented on Figs. 7 through 9, show the sands to be fine to medium-grained. The underlying clays are medium stiff to stiff and contain some interlensed sands. At Test Hole 10, coarse grained sands were encountered below the clays at depth .18 feet. Groundwater depths wore relatively high and encountered from near ground surface to maximum depth 13 feet. Within Test Holes 1, 2 and 5 through 7, water level was encountered slightly below to above natural ground surface. Water table, at least in this area, appears to be unusually high, possibly due to prior bond leakage. At the north end of the site, Holes 3 and 9 through 11, water level approximately coincided with the top of the underlying clay layer. POND CONSTRU i IUN RECOPa1FI TIOVS The natural soils at the site are suitable for construction of embankment fill-cut sections having a maximum sloe of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical) . Differential settlement beneath embankment_ areas due to foundation loading and wetting should he tolerable for the proposed construction. The following design and construction details should he observed: (1) The existing ground surface should tea cleared of all vegetation and existing embankment till sections removed. A nominal size key trench, 3 feet deep and 8 feet wide at the Lk.:-e, should b(- excavated beneath the new embankment crest. ;1nCI` d llr;lt ive - 5 - cutoff will not be made, excavation need not extend below groundwater level unless existing fill extends to greater depth. If this occurs, pumping to lower the artificially high water table may be required. The exposed surface within the entire pond area should then he scarified a minimum 6 inch depth, moistened and compacted. (2) Fill placed within embankment sections and beneath the pond bottom should be compacted to at least 95% of standard Proctor density (AS'IT1 I}-698) at a moisture content near optimum. On-site sands obtained during excavation or similar soils from adjacent site locations are suitable for use as fill material. (3) Interior slopes should be over built and trimmed hack immediately prior to liner placement to insure proper compaction and minimize moisture loss at the slope face. (4) Cut and fill slopes subjected to proposed impoundment depths should he stable at a maximum 3:1 design grade. Minor sloughing of the 5:1 interior slop? at the water surface could occur and require some maintenance. Use of slope protection would reduce the potential for localized sloughing. (5) F7nbankment sections subjected to occasional vehicular traffic should have a minimum crest width of 12 feet. This type traffic should not significantly affect the stability of the embankment for the design configuration. A gravel surfacing can he utilized to minimize wind erosion or rutting of the surface. (6) The bentonite lining material should be a high swelling, commercially produced grade. We recommend a minimum application - 6 - rate of 8 lbs. per square foot thoroughly mixed with the upper 8 inches of soil to obtain a relatively impervious liner material (less than 1 foot per year). Compaction of the liner should he to at least 95% of standard Proctor density. In-place applica- tion and mixing of the bentonite per manufacture_t recommendations should be feasible. The contractor should be aware, of possible problems with mixing and compacting on slopes. Some cracking of the seal could occur as the result of wetting and drying. The high swelling type bentonite should help healing of the cracks. We also recommend a minimum 6 inch compacted soil layer cover the liner which will help protect it against degradation. Protection of the liner against erosion due to agitation at inlets should also be considered. (7) Existing groundwater levels at the site are relatively high. If these high levels were artifically formed due to past pond leakage, natural lowering should occur. We recommend monitoring to verify this, especially adjacent to the emergency pond. If pond bottom elevation is placed close to water level, there is a risk of liner rupturing due to excessive hydrostatic head. At the north end of the proposed main pond, the underlying clay layer could cause a temporary high perched water level to develop. We recommend the fond bottom in this area be elevated or the clay; excavated to provide a minimum 3-foot depth of sand l Blow the clay liner. If a lower fond bottom elevat ion is desired in this area or other areas where water table is high, extensive under drainage below the liner may be required. - 7 - Consideration should also be given to drainage of off-site surface waters around the embankment to prevent excessive ponding depth and possible hydrostatic uplift. MISCCLLANIX)US This report has been prepored in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices in this area for the use of the client for design pirposes. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory holes drilled at the locations indicated on the exploratory hole plan. The nature and extent of variations between the exploratory holes may not become evident until excavation is performed. If, during construction, soil, rock and ground water conditions appear to be different from those described herein, this office should be advised at once so that re-evaluation of the ree(xrlln('nd1 t ions may be ► u1e. We r(.commend on-site r ;ervat ion of excavations and testing of fill placement by a soil engineer. Ci1F?N ANI) ASSOCIATES, INC. ��pWRENCF �. % : 1 5 2 2 2 :7f- S even L.
