Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 57 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. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. The most current average daily traffic count(ADT)reflects 152 vehicles taken in a 24-hour period May 27, 1998. Existing Access: This dairy has been in existence for quite awhile. All existing accesses have a purpose for the operation of the dairy. The structures, pens,feed alleys,and milking parlor are located off each access point on to WCR 57. REQUIREMENTS: Storm Water Drainage: During my site investigation, there were two locations that had cow manure draining from pens into the County right-of-way ditch. The storm water drainage will be handled by two retention ponds; one pond on the south side and one pond on the north. The retention ponds will be maintained and operated in accordance with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Controlled Regulations. I'm referring the storm water drainage and the complaint to the Department of Health and Environment, as they have jurisdiction over any use by special review that would deal with animal units. Circulation: All feed alleys shall be surfaced with gravel, and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Off-Street Parking: No off-street parking adjacent to WCR 57 shall be allowed. Utilize on-site parking only. cc: File Plan6usr.wpd STATE OF COLORADO OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER • � Division of Water Resources Weld s�pe co�oia\ untyPla Planning Dept Department of Natural Resources Co nnin �� o' / 1313 Sherman Street, Room 818 Denver,Colorado 80203 �'tan,*� ----- Phone:(303)866-3581 June 13, 2001 I J 2 01 FAX:(303)866-3589 Bill Owens http://water.state.co.us/default.htm C ElEivED Go vernor Greg E.Walther Ms. Lauren Light Executive Director Weld County Planning Dept.

While this agency typically does not comment on county land use actions that do not involve proposed subdivisions of land, we will offer comments on this proposed expansion. The expansion is from a 520-head dairy to a 2,000-head dairy. There was no information contained in the submittal materials that estimates the increase in water demand. Also, the letter from North Weld County Water District states that service is currently provided to the existing facility and makes no estimate or obligation to service the expanded dairy. We recommend that additional information be requested from the dairy on what the increase water demands are and if North Weld County Water District has the capacity to serve the increased water demands. Should you have any comments or further questions, please contact Bill McIntyre of this office.

In addition, a site inspection was made to view the dairy and surrounding properties. This plan calls for the expansion of the existing dairy, including construction of new corrals and a new milking parlor. In addition, the construction of process and storm water retention facilities are planned. There appears to be adequate evidence in the plan that the dairy will be in compliance with the State's Confined Animal Feeding Operation(CAFO)Regulations. There also appears to be adequate distance between the retention structures and neighboring residences. The plan calls for up to 10 employees, which is well within industry standards for a dairy of this size. Weld County Extension has no objection to this proposal. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, 4/ 11X1. Keith R.
