Russell Anson, Assistant County Attorney, read the request into the record. Mike Mullen, representing the Planning Department, read the favor- able recommendation from the Planning Commission into the record. He also read the 16 Development Standards being recommended, into the record. David Barney, representing Continental Pipe Line Company, came forward to explain the proposal and answer questions of the Board. Mr. Barney said that approxi- mately 6 to 7 truckloads would be leaving the facility per day. He said the State Highway permit allows them access for 20 truckloads. In response to Commissioner Johnson's question regarding the fire protection, Mr. Mullen said the Windsor Fire Chief had given approval by phone, and the letter should be received in the near future. Mr. Mullen suggested that the Board could amend Operation Standard No. 11 to state, "thirty days after final approval by the Board". After a short discussion, Commissioner Martin moved to approve this proposal for a Use by Special Review for Continental Pipe Line Company. and to include the Development Standards. Commissioner Brantner seconded the motion. After discussion, Commissioner Martin amended his motion to include the Development Standards with the suggested amendment. Commissioner Brantner seconded the amended motion. The motion carried unanimously. In conjunction with the USR for Continental Pipe Line Company the Board also considered the request for Subdivision Exemption No. 204 for Sigurd Carlson.

The Weld County comprehensive plan calls for extracting resources prior to urbanization. The proposed facility will allow trucks to offload crude gathered in the Bracewell Field and inject into the Continental Pipe Line. b) . The proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which use us located through proper procedures of the U.S.R. application. c). The existing land use at the proposed facility is for agricultural purposes. Lands adjacent to the proposed location includes farmlands and oil wells. The proposal will be compatible with existing surrounding land uses. d). The proposed area is primarily croplands. The Weld County comprehensive plan intends to keep land for agricultural purposes and oil rigs in the future thus the proposal is compatible with future developments. e) . N/A f). The facility is located at the edge of the farm thus minimizing the total acreage of agricultural lands lost. g) . The facility is compatible with all Weld County, State of Colorado and industrial standards. The driveway to offload crude will have containment banks built around it to hold all spills should a spill occur. The tank dike is designed to hold all the crude should the tanks leak as required by National Fire Protection Agency. A six-foot chain link fence will be installed around the tank dike, metering facility, sump and pumps to prevent vandalism and tampering. The 7500 BBL tank will be equipped with an internal floating roof to minimize vapor loss of the crude vapor. The facility will be lit at night to allow crude offloading at night. Finally, a barb wire fence will be installed six inches inside the property line to keep any cattle from wandering into the facility. CFY/crm/1673(ENGT4) SPECIFIC RESPONSES FOR USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION a) The facility will be used for offloading crude oil by trucks. The crude oil will eventually be injected to the pipeline and sent to Denver refineries. b) The closest residential structure is 300 feet from the facility. A vicinity map has been attached to better detail other residential structures in the area. c) N/A d) This facility will be used by Continental Pipe Line Company to gather and inject crude oil into the pipeline to refineries in Denver. Presently, only Conoco will be offloading crude gathered from the Bracewell area. e) N/A f) N/A g) The following structure will be installed: ) Gravel driveway - for trucks access to the facility. ii ) Ccncrete driveway - for trucks to offload crude oil . iii ) 500 BBL tank - to store crude offloaded from trucks. iv) ACT unit - to meter all crude oil . v) 7500 BBL tank - to store crude oil prior to injection into pipeline. vi ) Injection pumps - to inject crude oil from storage tanks to pipeline. vii ) Sump and pumps - for pressure relief of piping and collect all spills. viii ) Tank dike - to contain the crude should a leak in tanks occur. ix) Security fence - encloses the tank dike, ACT, sump and injection pumps to prevent tampering with equipment and theft of crude oil . x) Electrical building - for incoming services, meter station and lighting. xi ) Barb wire fence - to indicate property line and prevent animals from wandering into facility. h) Vehicles using facility are combination; large trailers , symbol WB-50; length of wheel base is 55 feet long, width is 8.5 feet, height is 13.5 feet and weighs about 80,000 pounds gross and 27 ,000 pounds empty. There will be about 8 trucks per day offloading in the facility and access to facility via Highway 392. i ) N/A j ) N/A k) N/A 1 ) A schedule for construction has been attached for your review. SPECIFIC RESPONSES FOR USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION CONT'D PAGE TWO OCTOBER 18, 1983 m) The facility will be gravelled to prevent soil erosion and proper drainage. A barb wire fence will surround the property and a chain link fence will enclose the tank dike, ACT unit, sump and pumping equipment. n) N/A o) Two 30# Ansul Fire Extinguishers and a fire blanket will be located on site for fire protection. CFY/crm/1674(ENGT4) Attachment �0 CLASSIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SOIL OVER FACILITY There are 3 classifications of soil over the parcel of land under consideration. These are: a) 32-KIM LOAM, 1 to 3 percent slopes. b) 33-KIM LOAM, 3 to 5 percent slopes. c) 47-Olney fine sandy loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes.

IMVIR it t November 16, 1983 C2nIMISS+fIr Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 After reviewing Case #USR 591 83 54, the Windsor Fire Department would ask the following questions: A. What volume of liquid will the containment bank around the driveway hold? B. What is the make-up of the crude oil in the raw state? C. What would the flash point be? D. Would an expert from the industry be willing to give special training for fire fighters for problems that could take place and how to resolve them by their standards? E. What is the potential for a line rupture and where would the product flow to? F. What kind of pressure is on the line? G. Would there be any line shut-offs in the area? H. Who would be the emergency contact? Recommendations: A. If a fire would break out in the facility, a water source in the area would be limited. During the summer months the possibility exists that water could be drafted from the ditch located on the east side of the facility. However, the remainder of the year could present a problem. A fire hydrant does exist on CR 27 and 257. The hydrant has a 2 inch outlet and only puts a small stream of water out. It is recommended that a 6 inch line connected to a hydrant with two 2-1/2 inch and one 4 inch or steamer port be installed directly across the road to supply fire fighting capabilities. B. Consider all questions and provide information to our office. //JJ Ed Fagler Chief r 3- 11 {� 4 �p GREELEY CIVIC CENTER GREELEY.

Mullen Side of 392 Department of Planning Services Weld County DOH FILE 45100 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Mullen: We have reviewed the Continental Pipeline Company special review permit application and ask for your consideration of the following comments. 1 . Projected traffic on State Highway 392 indicates the need for a 150- foot total right of way, 75 feet each side of the highway centerline. Since the existing width is approximately 33 feet each side of the centerline, we ask that an additional 42 feet be provided by setback, reservation, or (preferably) dedication as permitted by local regula- tions. 2. An "Application for Access Approach Permit" for the access to S.H. 392 is currently under review by this office. We do not anticipate any problems in issuing the Access Permit. Thank you for the opportunity to review this matter. Very truly yours, ALBERT CHOTVACS DISTRICT ENGINEER / Doilglas Rames Assistant District Engineer DDR:da cc: A. Chotvacs D.
