PROPOSED SEWAGE DISPOSAL
All facilities, except the trailer washout facility, will share an Individual Sewage Disposal
system. The sharing of the system has been discussed with Trevor Jiricek from the Weld
County Department of Public Health and Environment. He indicated as long as the
applicant owned both parcels the sharing of the system is acceptable. However, if one of
the parcels is sold the system could no longer be shared.
Water from the trailer wash-out will be circulated through a screen and oil/grease trap
and into a lined evaporative pond.
