SECTION 2
FINDINGS TO BE MADE BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
AND THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Weld County Ordinance 24.7.1
2.1 The proposed Use by Special Review is consistent with the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan and other applicable Weld County Ordinances.
The proposed compressor station is to be located on forty acres of property which s
currently included in a Landfarm for oil and gas wastes that is operated by HS
Resources Inc. ("Resources"). The inlet and outlet pipelines are proposed to be lot ated
in portions of Sections 13, 19, 30 and 31, Township 3 North, Range 66 West as
identified on the attached USGS map. The compressor station and pipeline are
hereinafter referred to together as the "Compressor Station."
The Compressor Station is consistent with the goals and policies in the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan in that is will not impact currently productive agricultural areas,
and it will enhance the recovery and use of natural gas resources in the County.
The proposed location for the Compressor Station minimizes interference with exiting
surface uses and mitigates impact on future land uses in that the parcel for the location
of the Compressor Station is within a larger parcel of property owned by Resources
which is being used for a Landfarm. The proposed Compressor Station and the existing
Landfarm are both oil and gas support activities and mutually compatible adjacent land
uses.
2.2 The proposed Use by Special Review is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural
Zone District in which it is proposed to be located.
The location for the Compressor Station is in the Agricultural Zone District; however,
the Compressor Station is to be located adjacent and generally within property to the
east, west and south that is included in a current use by special review for a Landfarm
where nonhazardous oil and gas wastes are treated so that no currently productive
agricultural lands will be impacted. Oil and gas wells and associated tank batterie-: are
also located within the Landfarm.
2.3 The uses which will be permitted under the proposed Use by Special Review will be
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.
The Compressor Station will be located on forty acres approximately 5 miles east of
Platteville. Colorado (See vicinity map). The Property is bounded on three sides by the
existing Landfarm and by rangeland owned by the Department of Transportation to the
north.
The pipelines that are included in this Use by Special Review will be located partially
within the Landfarm and along the boundaries of four sections of land.. (See USGS
map).
Land that adjoins the Landfarm is used for grazing, limited agricultural development, oil
and gas production and light density residential development.' Because the Property is
located in an area that has extensive existing oil and gas production and facilities and
open rangeland and where surrounding residential development is low density and rural
and agricultural in character, the Property is an ideal location for the proposed use.
2.4 The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future development of the
surrounding area in the Agricultural Zone and future development as projected by
the Comprehensive Plan and other Weld County Ordinances.
The Compressor Station is proposed to be located in a remote, rural area within property
upon which there is an existing Landfarm for oil and gas operations. The Property is not
located within the urban growth boundary of any city or town within Weld County
The major equipment within the Compressor Station will be enclosed in steel buildings
which are similar in appearance to buildings used to store hay and agriculture
equipment. A radar station that is owned by the Federal Aviation Administration i
located almost 3/4 mile directly north of the Property.
2.5 The Use by Special Review complies with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance,
Section 50, Overlay District Retulations.
The Property is not located within an Airport Overlay District, Geologic Hazard O' erla�
District, Flood Hazard Overlay District, or Planned Unit Development Overlay District.
2.6 The Applicant has made a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in its
decision to locate the Compressor Station on the Property.
The Property was chosen for the Compressor Station by the Applicant because it is
within a larger parcel of property that is owned by Resources, its parent company, and
because the location of the Property is within an area that is currently being used for oil
and gas related activities so that no additional land will be taken out of use for
agricultural purposes.
See General Information Section 1.6
-2-
The soil for the Property is composed of Valent sand with limited potential for
agricultural development due to its sandy texture and high permeability. The Property
has not been used for active waste treatment operations at the Landfarm.
2.7 There are adequate provisions in the Use by Special Review for the protection of the
health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
The Property is located in a remote, rural area so that the use of the Property for the
Compressor Station will not pose a significant risk to public health, safety and welfare.
The Applicant intends to incorporate several design features in the Compressor Station
to mitigate any impact on the neighborhood as follows:
• The Applicant will install a six foot chain link fence with three strand barbed
wire around the facilities for the compressor station building to insure that only
authorized persons will enter the Property.
• The compressor station building will be equipped with combustible gas monitor,
and fire detectors that will automatically shut down the station and close inlet
and outlet block valves as necessary.
• The Compressor Station will be located on the Property to maximize the use of
the natural topography to mitigate visual impacts. The compressors will be
located in a steel building, the upper portion of which will be visible only Irom
the north, east and west. The steel building will be painted Desert Tan consistent
with existing adjacent tank batteries.
• Noise levels will not exceed the State statutory requirements for light industrial
uses [70db(A)] found at C.R.S. § 25-12-102. Engines will be equipped with
hospital grade silencers with engine exhaust dispersing north using the natural
site topography. The inside of the compressor building will be insulated w ith
soundproof materials.

proposed Compressor Station plan conforms with many of the goals and policies outlined in Ak eid
County's Comprehensive Plan as follows:
No net loss of productive agricultural land
No impact on irrigated agricultural land
Enhanced recovery of the County's oil and gas natural resources
Installation of facilities consistent with the adjoining oil and gas activities
PAGE 2of 14
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
HS Resources, Inc. ("Resources") has been operating a Landfarm to treat nonhazardous oil and
gas exploration and production wastes in accordance with USR No. 1067 since 1995 in the
SE/4 Secton 13 T3N R66W ("Landfarm Parcel"). The surface area currently being used fir the
Landfarm is shown on the enclosed plat. Resources has agreed to give a deed to Applicant for
forty (40) acres in the north half of the quarter section to install a Compressor Station. 'Eh(
Landfarm Parcel, including the Compressor Parcel, is undeveloped range and grazing land Thu
Landfarm Parcel has oil and gas production facilities on it including four oil and gas wells.
three crude oil storage tank batteries and several pipeline system manifolds. Seven natural gas
gathering systems and associated right-of-ways also cross the Landfarm Parcel.
2.1 KINDER MORGAN WATTENBERG GATHERING SYSTEM
Applicant operates the Kinder Morgan Wattenberg Gathering System which collect gas from
over 2800 wells and has over 1500 miles of pipeline. The system includes nine (9) Cornpressot
Stations that compress low pressure gas from 70— 130 psig and discharge the gas at pressures
ranging from 1000 psig and 1200 psig. The high pressure gas is delivered to third party gas
processing plants that include Amoco's Wattenberg Plant, North American Resources
Company's Ft. Lupton plant and Duke Energy's Spindle Plant.
The proposed Compressor Station will provide additional compression for the expanding gas
production and development in the DJ Basin and will enhance Applicant's ability to provide
low pressure gas gathering to oil and gas producers.
A system map is included in the attachments.
2.2 COMPRESSOR STATION LOCATION
The Compressor Station will be located on 40 acres approximately 5 miles east of Platteville,
Colorado. The Compressor Parcel is currently included in the Landfarm Parcel land was
previously undeveloped range and grazing land. The Landfarm Parcel, including the
Compression Parcel, is zoned Agricultural; however, the land has not been cultivated since at
least 1979 and the station therefore, will have no impact on irrigated agricultural land.
The land that adjoins the Landfarm Parcel is used for grazing, limited agricultural development,
oil and gas production and light density residential development. The Landfarm Parcel is
bounded:
PAGE 3 of 14
to the north by undeveloped range and grazing land with an FAA radar station and oil and
gas wells and tank batteries;
to the south by WCR 32 and range/grazing land, oil and gas development and a single
residence beyond;
to the west by cultivated agricultural, range/grazing land, oil and gas development and
several houses;
to the east by range/grazing land, oil and gas wells, a tank battery and a house.
Access to the Compression Parcel will be from the west off Weld County Road 37 near the
access to the HS Landfarm as shown on the enclosed plat. WCR.37 is a light duty dirt road
which Applicant will upgrade by adding 3/4" roadbase for that portion of WCR 37 north from
where it intersects with WCR 32 to the entrance to the Compressor Station. In addition,
Applicant will upgrade the existing oil tank battery lease road with '/" roadbase to provide
access to the Compression Parcel.
Applicant will restrict access to the Compression Parcel by installing chain link fencing w.th 3
strands of barbed wire around the perimeter of the Compressor Station.
The nearest residential structures to the proposed Compressor Station are located approximately
1500 feet northwest and 2500 feet southeast from the boundary of the Compression Parcel.
2.3 SURFACE WATER FEATURES
The nearest surface water feature in the area is the West Speer Canal which is located adjacent
to the Landfarm Parcel in the SW/4 of Section 13. An abandoned section of the East Speer
Canal crosses the eastern portion of the SE/4 of Section 13. Field observations and interviews
with adjacent property owners indicate that the abandoned canal has not been used for irrigation
or transportation purposes for at least 15 years.
The flood plain maps maintained by the Weld County Department of Planning Services and
maps published by the USGS (McCain and Hotchkiss, 1975), reflect that the Compression
Parcel is not located in a flood hazard overlay district. The Applicant will prepare a Stormwatcr
Management Plan and obtain a permit from the Colorado Department of Health prior to the start
of construction.
PAGE 4 of 14
2.3 AIR EMISSION PERMITS
Applicant has applied for and has been granted an Air Emission Permit for the equipment to be
installed at the Compressor Station. Copies of the permits are included in Appendix E. The
permits provide approvals for three engines and one dehydration unit. This Application
requests approval to install three engines, although the Applicant intends to install only two

Two Caterpillar 3612 compressors will be installed in 2000. A third compressor will be
installed in the future if needed. One Triethylene Glycol Dehydration Unit will be installed in
2000 and a second unit will be installed at the same time and in the event that the third
compressor is installed.
Two buried 36" x 80' parallel slug bottles will be installed at the terminus of the inlet pipeline to
remove hydrocarbon liquids and water. The hydrocarbon liquids and water will be piped to
atmospheric tanks to be installed adjacent to existing tanks at the well facilities south of the
station site. The slug bottles will be installed so that only one end of the bottles will be exposed
to provide measurement and connections to remove liquids and utilizing the natural land
contours to provide daylight exposure of one end of the bottles. Gas from the slug bottles will
be piped to a buried 20" suction header for the compressors.
The compressors will be housed in a steel building, approximately 60'x I 20'x 27' eve height.
The building will help protect equipment and minimize noise and visual impacts. The
compressor building will have a concrete floor and an open drain system to a double contained
buried tank. The drain system will be used to contain water which is used to periodically wash
the equipment.
An insulated building, approximately 30'x40', will be installed for an office area, an ADA
restroom and a utility/shop area. The shop area will be unfinished and will house electrical
connections, phone line terminations, electrical switchgear, an instrument air compressor
system and a standby electrical generator. The office and restroom area will be finished with
drywall, drop ceiling and tile floor.
Compressed gas will be dehydrated using standard glycol dehydration in a contactor
approximately 48"O.D. X 30' tall. The contactor, glycol system pumps and regeneration
equipment will be housed in a third, separate building which will be skid mounted and
approximately 12'x30'x 10' tall and which will also contain the natural gas fired glycol reboiler
This glycol regeneration skid will be located a minimum of 100 feet from other station
equipment.
PAGE 7 of 14
3.3 STATION UTILITIES
Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) will provide fuel gas to the Compressor Station
Applicant or PSCo will install a pipeline and measurement facilities from the PSCo distribution
system approximately 1 mile east to the Compression Parcel.
The Compressor Station will not utilize water in its operations. Applicant intends to apply for 2,
state permit to drill a water well on the Compression Parcel when it obtains approval for this
USR. Water from the well will be utilized to serve one restroom in the office./shop building and
for intermittent cleaning of the equipment at the station.
Applicant will install a septic system and leach field for its restroom.
3.4 STATION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The nearest residences to the Compressor Station are approximately 1500 feet northwest and
2500 feet southeast of the boundary of the Compression Parcel.
The Compressor Station will be located approximately 1400 feet from WCR 32 and 900 feet
from WCR 37. Site topography will partially restrict a view of the Compressor Station from the
north, northeast and west so that it will only be visible from the south and southeast. The
compressors will be enclosed in a steel 60'x120'x27' eve height building so that only the wiper
portion of the compressor building will be visible from the north, northeast and west. The
building exterior will he painted Desert Tan consistent with the well storage tanks that already
exist near the site. A picture of a similar building is included in Appendix G.
The 30'X40'X10' eve combination shop and office building will be painted the same color as the
compressor building.
Applicant has discussed the proposed Compressor Station with some of the owners of
properties adjacent to the Landfarm Parcel. One owner expressed concern about lights at the
Compressor Station at night. Applicant has agreed to install lights to be used only at night
when employees are there.
The Compressor Station will enhance the amount and timeliness of the recovery and prod action
of natural gas from the Wattenberg Gathering System.
There are no expected adverse impacts on historical, archaeological or scenic resources.
PAGES of 14
3.5 STATION NOISE MITIGATION
The main concern of some adjacent property owners was potential noise from the Compressor
Station. Noise that is generated from the Compressor Station will originate from the 3167 hp,
natural gas fueled Caterpillar engines and the fans used to cool the engine antifreeze and to cool
the compressed gas. Applicant will equip the engines with hospital grade exhaust silencers, and
will face the engine's exhaust to discharge to the north so that natural ground topography will
act as a sound buffer to the north, northwest and northeast. The fans will also be located or the
north side of the compressor building, and Applicant will install slow tip-speed fans. The
elevation of both the fans and the engine exhaust will he below the peak of the compressor
building which will buffer noise to the south and southeast.
Applicant will also insulate the inside of the compressor building by the installation of
soundproofing materials.
Applicant requests that the County approve a maximum permissible noise level for the USR not
to exceed the light industrial limit of 70 dB(A) under Colorado Revised Statutes, 25-12-102.
The maximum permissible noise level that the Applicant requests is consistent with the
maximum permissible noise level currently in place for the Landfarm Parcel, including the
Compression Parcel, under USR 1067.
PAGE 9 of 14
4.0 STATION OPERATIONS
The Compressor Station will operate 365 days per year, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day The
station will be designed to operate unattended. Personnel will check the station daily, but will
not generally be present at the station throughout the day.
4.1 EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN AND FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
An automated emergency shut down system will monitor operating conditions at the
Compressor Station and shut down the station in an emergency. The emergency shut down
system will utilize automated block valves to shut off gas into and out of the compressor
building and to vent the gas contained in the the piping. The gas will be vented to a vent pipe
located a safe distance from the equipment.
The compressor building will be equipped with fire detectors and combustible gas monitors
which will automatically shutdown the station in applicable emergencies.
A call--out system, operated on an uninterruptible power supply, will notify Applicant of station
shutdowns and operation problems.
A twenty (20) foot perimeter road will be installed on the property to provide access to the tire
department and others. Portable, Purple K or equivalent fire extinguishers will be stationed
around the Compressor Station. In the event of a major fire, the emergency shutdown system
will shut off available fuel for the fire.
Applicant has written emergency notification procedures for each of its Compressor Stations.
A copy of the procedure that Applicant proposes for the Compressor Station is included in
Appendix D.
4.2 WASTE DISPOSAL
General debris,junk and waste will be disposed of by commercial dumpster services.
Other waste from the station will include used compressor lube oil and lube oil or hydrocarbon
liquid contaminated rags
Used lube oil will be transported from the property using certified transporters. Spill reporting
and remedial actions will be the responsibility of Resources' Environmental Affairs Manager.
Contaminated rags will be transported off site to approved disposal facilities.
PAGE 10 of 14
4.3 STATION SITE MAINTENANCE
Applicant will apply 3/4" roadbase on all areas of the property where access is provided for
vehicles or personnel in their routine operations. Applicant will control noxious weeds by
mowing and the selected application of herbicides as necessary.
PAGE I I of 14
5.0 SITE SELECTION
Applicant undertook a study to determine the need for the Compressor Station and to identify
the proposed site location. Applicant selected the proposed site location for reasons that
include reasonable proximity to pipelines that gather the natural gas that requires compression.
ownership of the property, compatibility with adjacent land uses, non disturbance of irrigt,texd
agricultural land and impact on nearby rural residential properties. The Applicant also no!ed
that the proposed site location was away from U.S. Highway 85 and the Platte River Corridor
which is more heavily populated and has more infrastructure located around it than the area
where the site was selected.
5.1 NEED FOR THE COMPRESSOR STATION
The Wattenberg Gathering System (Gathering System) currently moves approximately 215
MMCF of gas per day to three primary receipt points for further processing. The receipt point
include the Amoco Wattenberg Gas Processing Plant (155 MMCFD), the NARCO Gas
Processing Plant(55 MMCFD) and the Duke Spindle Gas Processing Plant (5 MMCFD).
Applicant, as operator of the Gathering System, has found that the Gathering System is
experiencing constraints in being able to move gas to the various receipt points because more
wells are being drilled and connected to the Gathering System, and the Gathering System is
already operating at maximum compressor capacity. Applicant performed a study to determine
the most economical way to get more gas through the Gathering System and to market- A
conclusion from the study was that additional compression was necessary to move gas through
the Gathering System.
In addition, the Compressor Station will enable more gas reserves to be produced from the field
by virtue of lowering the field pressure and thereby increasing production rates. Reservoir
engineers who work for Applicant predict that the proposed Compressor Station will increase
gas production 15 MMCF per day throughout the Gathering System. The study concluded also
that the additional compression will increase the life of the field from three to five years and
result in the recovery of an additional six to ten BCF of gas reserves.
5.2 SITE EVALUATION
Applicant identified four separate alternatives as site locations for facilities to increase
compression for the Gathering System that included 1) the existing Fort Lupton Compressor
Station site; 2) the existing Hambert Compressor site; 3) a location near the midpoint of a
pipeline where the Gathering System was experiencing major constraint; and 4) the prop( sed
site location.
PAGE 12 of 14
Applicant evaluated each alternative to determine the optimum location for the installation of
the compression station based on criteria that included 1) the hydraulics of existing pipelines; 21
the impact on adjacent land uses; 3) the time it would take to get a compression system on line,
including obtaining air permits for the station; and 4) costs to install the station.
Applicant determined based on the criteria it applied that the proposed compressor site was the
most reasonable cost effective alternative. The proposed compressor site was the optimum
location from a cost standpoint because the parent company of the Applicant owns the site and
air permits for the site have been obtained and from a hydraulic standpoint because gas will be
taken into the compression station generally from the center of the pipeline location where
major constraint has occurred. In addition, the proposed compressor site is located
adjacent to significant other oil and gas uses so that irrigated agricultural land is not taken out
of production and the impact to other rural residential uses or rangeland will be minimal.
5.3 ALTERNATIVE PIPELINE ROUTES
The Applicant has selected the proposed routes for the inlet and outlet pipelines because they
are included in existing pipeline corridors along section line boundaries and because existing
above ground valve sets can he used to interconnect the proposed pipelines to existing
pipelines.
PAGE 13(4.14
6.0 CONSTRUCTION
Station construction is expected to begin within two weeks from the time Applicant obtains
building permits from the County. The station will be operational approximately 4 months after
construction begins. Pipeline installation will commence approximately one month after the
County permits are obtained and will be completed within 6 weeks. A list of the names and
addresses of companies that may have underground facilities underlying the proposed pipeline
routes is included in Appendix B.
6.1 CONSTRUCTION COSTS
Mechanical construction cost for the Compressor Station is estimated to be $500,000; electrical
construction costs are estimated to be $125,000.
Pipeline construction costs are estimated to be $400,000.
6.2 CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE AND EQUIPMENT
The estimated maximum number of persons in the workforce during construction at the
Compressor Station will be thirty (30). Construction personnel will work 7:00 a.m. to 5:3.1p m.
Monday through Saturday. Compressor Station construction equipment shall include backhoer
and small (15T to 25T) cranes. Large cranes (80T to 110T) will be used for one day to set the

The estimated maximum number of persons in the workforce during construction of the
pipeline will be 30 personnel. Construction personnel will work 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m Monday
through Saturday. Pipeline construction equipment shall include pipeline trenchers, tackhoes.
pipe sidebooms, welding trucks, backhoes, transport trucks and small (15T to 25T) cranes
6.3 STORMWATER
Applicant will prepare a Stormwater Management Plan for construction activities and the
Compressor Station and obtain a permit from the Colorado Department of Health. Construction
will include the installation of silt fences and retention ponds for stormwater from the disturbed
construction area as required. Applicant will insure its construction contractor minimizes
construction dust by installing road base materials on roads and spraying them with water as
required.
