MEMORANDUM
° . TO: Board of County Commissioners June 4, 2001
COLORADO
FROM: Julie A. Ches(ler, Lead Pl9p r, Weld County Department of
Planning Services and Connie O'Neili-ittpervisor,Environmental Division
of the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment
SUBJECT: Site Application and Facility Plan for the Lochbuie Wastewater
Treatment Facility located in the NW4 of Section 29, Ti N, R65W of the
6'h P.M., Weld County, Colorado
The Weld County Department of Planning Services' and Department of Public Health and
Environment staff have reviewed the Site Application for the Town of Lochbuie for a New
Wastewater Treatment Facility. The review was done according to the Regulations for the Site
Application Process (5 CCR 1002-22). During this review it was determined that the Town of
Lochbuie has not yet reached an agreement with The Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company
(FRICO) for the discharge levels that will be produced when the proposed plant reaches full
capacity. However, the Town's current agreement with FRICO will allow for continued discharge
for several years prior to exceeding the agreed upon limit. With this information, we would
recommend that the Board sign the application with the condition that an agreement be reached
between the Town of Lochbuie and FRICO prior to expanding the plant to a point that would allow
for discharge levels above the current agreement limits.
In addition, we have the following comments about the application:
• The proposed facility does not lie within the 100 year floodplain, as shown on FEMA panel
map #080266-1025C, dated September 28, 1982.
• The site is located in unincorporated Weld County and will require a Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit (USR)for a Major Facility of a Public Utility.
The planning issues will be addressed through Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards for the permit. Building permits will be required for any construction on site and
for electrical service. All applicable permits must be completed to the satisfaction of the
Department of Planning Services and Building Inspection, prior to construction of the
facility.
• Good planning practices merit investigation into screening the proposed site from adjacent
land uses for improved compatibility.
• Currently, there are many State Endangered and Threatened Species found in riparian
areas of Weld County. This site may be located within an environmentally sensitive area
and the Town of Lochbuie is encouraged to contact the Division of Wildlife to mitigate any
potential negative impacts.
• As this proposal is considered a new facility, the Board of County Commissioners are
required to sign the Site Application for the State Department of Public Health and the
Environment. The Weld County Departments of Planning Services and Public Health and
Environment are recommending that the Commissioners sign the application to allow the
Town of Lochbuie to proceed with the State process. The County application processes
can run concurrently.
Thank you for your consideration of this application.

ATTACHMENT TO SITE APPLICATION
In accordance with C.R.S. 1981,25-8-702 (2)(a),(b),and(c),and the"Regulations for Site Applications for Domestic
Wastewater Treatment Works",the Water Quality Control Division must determine that each site location is consistent
with the long range, comprehensive planning for the area in which it is to be located, that the plant on the proposed site
will be managed to minimize the potential adverse impacts on water quality,and must encourage the consolidation of
wastewater treatment works whenever feasible.
In making this determination,the Division requires each applicant for a site approval for a domestic wastewater
treatment works to supply an engineering report describing the project and showing the applicant's capabilities to
manage and operate the facility over the life of the project to determine the potential adverse impacts on water quality.
The report shall be considered the culmination of the planning process and as a minimum shall address the following:
Service area definition including existing and projected population, site location,staging or phasing,
flow/loading projections,and relationship to other water and wastewater treatment plants in the area.
Proposed site location,evaluation of alternative sites,and evaluation of treatment alternatives.
Proposed effluent limitations as developed in coordination with the Division.
Analysis of existing facilities within the service area(s).
Analysis of opportunities for consolidation of treatment works in accordance with the provisions of
22.3(1)(c),including those recommended in the water quality management plan,unless the approved
water quality management plan recommends no consolidation.
Evidence that the proposed site and facility operations will not be adversely effected by floodplain or
other natural hazards. Where such hazards are identified at the selected site,the report shall describe
means of mitigating the hazard.
Evidence shall be presented in the form of a report, containing soils testing results and design
recommendations and prepared by a Professional Geologist and a Geotechnical Engineer,or by a
professional meeting the qualifications of both Professional Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer,with
an appropriate level of experience investigating geologic hazards, stating that the site will support the
proposed facility.
Detailed description of selected alternatives including legal description of the site, treatment system
description,design capacities,and operational staffing needs.
Legal arrangements showing control of site for the project life or showing the ability of the entity to
acquire the site and use it for the project life. Approval by the Division of an application for site
approval shall not be deemed to be a determination that the proposed treatment works is or is not
necessary,that the proposed site is or is not the best or only site upon which to locate such a treatment
works, or that location of a treatment works on the site is or is not a reasonable public use justifying
condemnation of the site. Approval by the Division shall only be deemed to be a determination that the
site application meets the requirement of this regulation 22(5 CCR 1002-22).
Institutional arrangements such as contract and/or covenant terms which will be finalized to pay for
acceptable waste treatment.
Management capabilities for controlling the wastewater loadings within the capacity limitations of the
proposed treatment works,i.e.,user contracts,operating agreements,pretreatment requirements and or
the management capabilities to expand the facilities as needed(subject to the appropriate, future review
and approval procedures).
Financial system, which has been developed to provide for necessary capital and continued operation,
maintenance, and replacement through the life of the project. This would include, for example,
anticipated fee structure.
Implementation plan and schedule including estimated construction time and estimated start-up date.
