Rev: 1-27-97 g ure: wner or Authorized Agent EXHIBIT 2001-1687 /0 5 Use By Special Review Questionnaire 1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. The property will be used for the same purpose it has been used for the past 24 years. Operations include, truck recycling, used truck and equipment sales and general truck repair. The purpose of the proposed 6400 sq. ft. building is to move operations inside in order create a better working environment for employees and to decrease the risk of hazardous and waste materials from entering ground and storm water runoff. The operations that will take place in the new building will include general truck repair and truck frame modification and equipment mounting. This will allow existing structures to be used for the truck dismantling operations. This proposed 6400 sq. ft. building will be erected immediately upon approval of this USR and a permit is issued. Structures proposed for the future and estimated times of completion are as follows. A 40' roof extension to an already existing 40'x 70' building, to be used for truck parts storage is planned for 2005. A 40' roof extension is also planned for truck parts storage for the existing 45'x 80' building by 2006. The proposed 6400 sq. ft. building will contain structural allowances that make it possible to add to the building on the one end as needed. I propose to add 60' to the building in intervals for 20' by 2010. I also propose to construct a 100' x 150' warehouse no sooner than 2008 and no later than 2020. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This area has historically been an industrial site that provides a service for the surrounding agricultural area and surrounding communities. 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the weld county zoning ordinance and the zone district in which it is located. The area is zoned I-3 for a salvage yard. A salvage yard is considered light industrial. 4.What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. Uses that surround this site include, a tire dump, an oil and gas remediation field, one proposed and two existing salvage yards. The area has historically been for industrial use and the land uses are very compatible to each other. 5. Describe the following in detail: a. How many people will use this site? One family owned business will use this site. b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? The proposed 6400 sq. ft. building will require the need for an addition of 2 employees to the current staff. With the other proposed additions and improvements I predict there will be a total of 10 employees by 2005 and additional 5 by 2010. c. What are the hours of operation? 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. d. What type and how many structures will be erected on this site? By the year 2015 there will be a total of 7 structures on this site. They include the existing brick house, a 45'x80' pole barn, a 40' x 70' steel building, 16'x 60' mobile home, and a 30' x 30' block building. Also the proposed 80' x 80' steel building along with it's 60' of proposed extensions, and a 100' x 150' steel building. e. What type and how many animals will be on this sight? As many as 6 domestic pets including dogs and cats. f. What kind of vehicles will access the sight and how often? Approximately 15 to 20 vehicles under a 26,000 lb. GVW per day. And approximately 5-10 vehicles over 26,000 lb. GVW per week. g. Who will provide fire protection the site? The site is with in the Platteville Fire District and protection will be provided by them. h. What is the water source on the property? The water is provided by two domestic wells on the site. i. What is the sewage disposal system on the site? There are two septic systems in use right now on the site. There is a proposal for a third septic system to handle floor drainage from the proposed 6400sq.ft. building. This drainage system and septic system's location and design will be done in according to the Weld County Health Department's recommendations and a permit has not yet been applied for pending the outcome o of this USR. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored? There is and will continue to be used truck parts stored inside on store bought racks. Inside storage will increase from the current 3600 sq. ft., to a total of 24,600 sq. ft. by the year 2015. Outside storage now includes used truck parts that are stored off the ground on various types of racks. Also there is currently approximately 2500 salvaged trucks being stored outside. This number should be greatly reduced as indoor storage is increased and approval of the 6400 sq. ft. building. The reason being, by moving already mentioned, proposed operations into the 6400 sq. ft. building, it will allow the dismantling operations to move inside the existing 40 x 70 building out of the Colorado elements. Along with the capability of storing more parts inside on racks,the dismantling operations could triple in production. Therefore, vehicles would be stored as a whole, outside for shorter periods of time. The number of trucks dismantled per month will be greater than the number of trucks coming in. The goal for storing trucks and parts is to have more of the trucks stored inside in component form rather than having complete trucks stored outside. The proposal for future structures can help accomplish this goal. 6. Explain proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. Non Applicable. For the reason that we have occupied this site since 1977 and major landscaping was started in 1980 consisting of trees, bushes, flowers and grass mainly 600 feet in from county Road 28. This landscape has flourished and matured and is visible from County Road 28. No further landscaping will be included in this USR. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the USR activity occurs. Non Applicable. Termination of the Use By Special Review is not part of the long term plans of Active Truck and Auto Parts, Inc. it's owners. 8. Explain how storm water drainage will be handled on the site. Please see storm water permit issued by the Colorado Department of Health under the Federal Clean Water Act. The permit along with a storm water drainage map will be either attached to this questionnaire or elsewhere in this USR application. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping will begin. Again, we have occupied this site since 1977. Construction of the proposed 20 year plan will begin as soon as this USR is approved and a building permit is issued for the first proposed building under this USR. 10. Explain where storage and/or stock pile of wastes will occur on this site. We recover a list of fluids and hazardous materials from wrecked trucks before and during the dismantling process. This list includes: motor oil, antifreeze, washer fluid,brake fluid, transmission fluid, refrigerants and batteries. Again, this is not a proposed plan of procedures, rather the way we have been handling these materials for many years. We will continue to handle them in the same matter under this USR. There will be some improvement with the new 6400 sq.ft. building in place. There will be a storage tank for waste oil with a neck connected to the building that will run inside. That way we can fill the tank directly from the inside of the building, eliminating spillage on the ground. This building will utilize a waste oil heater, so the waste oil will eventually be pumped back inside the building for heat. With the 6400 sq.ft. building erected, that will move dismantling operations inside the existing 40' x 70' which will also have a tank right out side the building so that waste oil can be poured directly into the tank from inside the building. With the current procedure of waste oil handling, we drain the vehicle, then have to carry the drain pan 30 feet to an outside tank then pour the oil in the tank with a funnel. All this is outside and there is greater risk of spillage onto the ground. The proposals in this USR will cut that risk to zero. Now I will describe the procedures used for handling the other materials that are currently reclaimed and will continue to be used under this USR in future operations on the site. Waste oils such as motor oil, transmission fluids, and hydraulic fluids are stored in a 500 gallon tank that sits in a concrete containment area,then is hauled off by a certified reclaimer. This procedure will change due to the installation of a waste oil heater. Anti freeze is drained from the vehicles then poured into a holding tank that is located inside. The antifreeze is then drained from the bottom of the holding tank in order to eliminate any unwanted particles or oil that will float to the top in the holding tank. The antifreeze is then recycled with a certified antifreeze recylcling machine and then bottled and resold or reused. Brake fluid and washer fluids are drained and kept separate from other fluids. They are bottled and reused. Refrigerant is extracted from vehicles and recycled by a certified refrigerant recycling machine. The recylcled refrigerant is then reused or resold. Batteries are removed from the vehicles. Good ones are recharged and stored inside for sale or reuse. Bad batteries are stored in an enclosed container outside then sold to a certified reclaimer. Every effort is made to keep fluids from coming in contact with the ground. Approval of this USR will only help our efforts.

Scrap and Waste Recyclers (SIC Code 5093 Liquid Recycling Facilities - those facilities that accept only liquid recyclable materials.): Facilities with stormwater discharges that are associated with this industrial activity are subject to the following monitoring requirements: Effluent Parameter Sample Type Oil and Grease Visual d. Scrap and Waste Recyclers (SIC Code 5093 Recycling Facilities - those facilities that accept only source segregated, recyclable materials from non-industrial and residential sources.: This subcategory includes facilities commonly referred to as Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) that receive common consumable products such as paper, newspaper, glass, cardboard, plastic containers, and aluminum and tin cans. Facilities with stormwater discharges that are associated with this industrial activity are subject to the following monitoring requirements: Effluent Parameter Sample Type Oil and Grease Visual 2. Monitoring Conditions a. Additional Information: The following additional information is required for each sampling event (including facilities that are only required to collect visual samples): - the date and duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) sampled; - rainfall measurements or estimates (in inches) of the storm event which generated the sampled runoff; - the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event; - an estimate of the size of the drainage area(in square feet) and an estimate of the runoff coefficient (the percentage of precipitation to leave the site as runoff) of the drainage area (e.g. low (under 40%), medium (40% to 65%) or high (above 65%)); and - an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge sampled. b. Sampling Procedures: For facilities with holding ponds or other impoundments, sampling shall be performed at the outlet from the pond. If no discharge from the pond to surface waters occurs, then no sampling is necessary. Please note that if any process water mixes with stormwater, all of the water is considered to be process water and must be covered under a CDPS industrial wastewater discharge permit. All such samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches in.., magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm even The grab sample shall be taken during the first thirty minutes of the discharge. If the collection of a grab sample during the first thirty minutes is impracticable, a grab sample can be taken during the first hour of the discharge, and the discharger shall submit with the monitoring report a description of why a grab sample during the first thirty minutes was impracticable. T PFr"r I Pag., 13 • Permit No. COR-060000 D. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS/WAIVERS (cont.) c. Additional Definitions: The following definitions apply: 1. A grab sample, for monitoring requirements, is a single "dip and take" sample. 2. A visual observation, for oil and grease monitoring requirements, is observing the discharge to check for the presence of a visible sheen or floating oil. In order to accomplish this observation, a grab sample shall be collected in a clear container, and the sample shall be observed in the container and the observation shall be documented. In addition, the clarity and color of the sample shall be documented. d. Representative Discharge: When a facility has two or more outfalls that, based on a consideration of features, materials and activities within the area drained by the outfall, the permittee reasonably believes discharge substantially identical effluents, the pemiittee may test the effluent of one of such outfalls and report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially identical outfalls. In addition, for each outfall that the permittee believes is representative, an estimate of the size of the drainage area (in square feet) and an estimate of the runoff coefficient of the drainage area (e.g. low (under 40%), medium (40% to 65%) or high (above 65%)) shall be provided. The Division may, upon good cause, waive any of the sample requirements in this section. 3. Additional Monitoring In addition to the routine sampling and testing of stormwater as described in Part I.D of the permit, the Division reserves the right to require sampling and testing beyond this, on a case-by-case basis, at any facility covered by this permit, in the event ^ that there is reason to suspect that compliance with the SWMP is a problem, or to measure the effectiveness of the BMPs in removing pollutants in the effluent. Such monitoring may include Whole Effluent Toxicity testing. 4. Petition for Sampling Waiver Monitoring is required for each of the facilities described in Part I.D of the permit, once per year, for the life of the permit (5 years). However, at any point during the permit term, the permittee may petition the Division for a waiver of all, or some portion of the remaining sampling requirements, if they can provide adequate justification, based on each of the following items: a. The permittee can provide at least two years of sampling data, as required under a Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) Stormwater Discharge Permit for the facility for each discharge point where sampling is required. The samples must be from at least two different calendar years, and taken in 1992 or after. A summary of all available monitoring data should be included in the petition, whether or not it was previously submitted to the Division. Note: Some parameters required to be tested for under this permit may not have been required under a previous permit. Any parameters not previously tested for that are required by this permit, must be tested for. In other words, a permittee may receive a waiver of sampling for parameters previously tested for, but may still have to sample for parameters required by this permit that were not previously sampled for. b. The industrial activities at the site (such as materials handling and storage, chemical use, waste disposal practices, erosion controls, and other types of industrial activities as defined in Part I.A.5.b of the permit) have not changed since the samples were taken, in any way that could have an adverse impact on stormwater quality. c. The sample results do not demonstrate any problems with stormwater quality. (See Section V.A.1 of the Rationale.) The Division will make a determination on the merits of the petition, within 90 days of receipt. If the petition is deemed adequate, the permittee will be notified and their certification amended to eliminate the sampling requirement for the facility in question, for the remainder of the permit term. If the petition is not considered adequate, the permittee shall be notified of the reason for the Division's determination. The permittee will also be able to re-petition the Division after another year of sampling data has been obtained. ^RTI age 14 Permit No. COR-060000 • D. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS/WAIVERS (cons.) ^ Note: Although the petition may be prepared at the same time as the Annual Report, it should be submitted separately, in order to assure timely processing. 5. Alternative Certification A permittee is not subject to the monitoring requirements of this permit, provided that the permittee makes a certification that all material handling equipment or activities, raw materials, intermediate products, final products, waste materials, by-products, industrial machinery or operations, or significant materials from past industrial activities, that are located in areas of the facility within the drainage area of the outfall have not been exposed for the reporting period, are not presently exposed to stormwater and are not expected to be exposed to stormwater for the certification period.

AUTO RECYCLING IS GOOD FOR ALL OF US! Compared to new parts, recycled components save from 30 to 50% on the average replacement/repair job. Sometimes even more. When you buy a recycled auto part you can also save on labor, be- cause, many times, the part is pre-assembled and easier to install. By purchasing recycled parts you will be contributing to the improvement of the environment, in addition to saving money. For example, in the United States alone, the automotive recycling indus- try recycles more than two million tons of cast iron, seven million tons of steel, and one-half million tons of aluminum each year. Auto- motive recyclers provide about 35% of all ferrous (iron based) metals processed annually. By using recycled parts and materials, we save the equivalent of eighty million barrels of oil every year. Automotive recycling also indirectly benefits all motorists,even those who don't buy recycled parts, by helping keep the cost of auto insurance down. Auto recyclers buy "totaled" cars from insurance companies so that they can be dismantled and recycled. The insur- ance companies, therefore, don't have to take a complete loss on ve- hicles, even when they are not repairable. So, keep recycled parts in mind the next time you need to re- pair your car. Auto recycling is good for all of us! ea, Printed on Recycled Paper Hello
