This project falls primarily under the purview of the Use by Special Review Requirement. Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 16 is designated on the Transportation Plan Map as a local gravel road, which requires a 60 -foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County for approximately Yz mile,from that point west to the section line access only. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance 89, as amended), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. WCR 16 is not a"through"road at this location; therefore, we have no traffic counts available. There is an existing access to the facility. REOUIREMENTS: Access Lane: The access lane shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width to accommodate emergency vehicles and any additional two-way traffic that may utilize the facility. The road shall be graded and drained to provide an all-weather access to the facility. Off Street Parking: The off street parking spaces,including the access drive,shall be surfaced with gravel, asphalt, concrete, or equivalent, and it shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Storm Water Drainage: The storm water drainage item will be referred to the Health and Environment Department as it deals with a confined animal feeding operation controlled regulations. pc: USR-1322 m:\wpfi les\don-c\plan 8u sr.wpd lh 11; 1 2110: ,i IipFebruary 26, 2001 C.

Light: As you know, pursuant to the State Engineer's August 7, 1995 memorandum to county planning directors, this office is no longer providing comments on land use actions that do not involve a subdivision as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision". However, we are willing to comply with your request to review this referral due to the size of the operation. Your memorandum and the enclosed materials refer to use of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer to supply the water for this operation. You also have referred to an alluvial well on the property. There is a significant amount of information included in this referral, however, the applicant did not provide the "Water Supply Information Summary" form which was provided to the county along with the State Engineer's August 7, 1995 letter. At a minimum, the information requested by this form is necessary for our office to assess the water supply plan for this operation. If the applicant plans to use water from the alluvial well, additional information regarding its use and augmentation will be required by our office. At this time well permit no. 54648-F, issued to Sparboe Horizon Corporation in S35, T2N, R65W, is a valid permit with the State Engineer's Office. It allows an average annual withdrawal of 72.5 acre-feet from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. It does not guaranty the physical availability of that water. If you submit more detailed information regarding the water needs of this operation and the applicant's plan for supplying those needs, our office will be happy to perform further review. If you have any questions in this matter please call Kevin Rein in this office. ly Puru hoot m Dass • Supervising Professional Engineer PD/KGR .•7 ,p2.'

PRIME FARMLANDS: There is no prime farmland where the shed extension will be constructed. SOIL EROSION POTENTIAL: All of the soils covered by this application are extremely erosive and should be protected. Construction should be planned so as to disturb as little soil as possible and measures should be taken to prevent soil movement offsite. Any areas that are disturbed should be stabilized with perennial vegetation, gravel, or pavement once construction is complete. OTHER: 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. In addition, the applicant may want to consider participating in the Conservation Reserve Program to install windbreak buffers around the poultry sheds. Participants can receive cost share to install windbreaks on eligible farmland. Contact the NRCS at (303) 659-4177 for more information. 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.
