There is no doubt that natural gas processing plants are a natural part of the continuing development of our area's oil and gas resources. Practical aspects of the specific site tieing considered for a gas plant are summarized herein. The use is consistent with the district it is located inasmuch as the use is considered agri-business. Further, it is a practical use for the land area. This land has never been cultivated. The specific property has slope and soil constraints which make farming operations impossible. The processing plant will be located on one of the few level areas of the total property owned by applicant. South of the site are the Hill N' Park Sanitation District Sewage Lagoons. To the North, are the KFKA transmitting towers. The site lies just above the South Platte River flood plain. Development in the area will probably be limited for several more years. In the general vicinity, there are junk yards and several small older homes, some being vacant. Lower median priced homes are located approximately one-half mile further West. Public utility mains have limited capacity effectively precluding any major development until services are upgraded. The proposed use requires no domestic or raw water service. In view of flood plain considerations eventual development can only be North and West of the site in any event. Ultimately, this area will be a part of Evans. The site fronts on 49th Street which is currently an agricultural and industrial arterial feeding off U.S. #85 in Evans. While most industrial traffic does not currently flow as far West as the site, it is reasonable to assume that the industrial developments along U.S. #85 will expand Westerly in the future. Practically speaking, the gas plant will be serviced once or twice daily by a single truck and will therefore have a minimal impact on traffic counts or road usage. The site is not located within one of the "overlay districts" of Weld County. Specifics of the gas plant's operations are enclosed herewith. • The following is submitted in- response to Section 5.a.-o. of The Procedural Guide for Use by Special Review Application: 5.a. The proposed use is a natural gas processing facility to prepare natural gas produced from wells in the vicinity for delivery to Greeley Gas Company for subsequent consumption by consumers. In the process of treating the natural gas, water and hydrocarbon liquids such as propane and butane will be removed from the gas stream to meet the required specifications of Greeley Gas Company. b. Refer to location map for location of residential structures. c. The facilities will be operated 24 hours per day, 350 days per year. Instrumentation and controls are provided to operate the facilities automatically requiring only routine maintenance and operating checks by Valley personnel. Attachment to Application For Use By Special Review Valley Energy Inc. , Applicant Page 2 d. There will be two permanent employees. f. None g. Structures will consist of 15' x 25' metal utility building, three skid mounted processing units approximately 10' x 30' , and one 8' Diameter x 40' long product storage tank. All processing equipment will be mounted on concrete piers. The equipment will be enclosed by a 6 foot high chaib link fence with three strands of barbed wire on top. h. Operating personnel will travel to the site daily by pick up. Product will be removed by tank truck (maximum weight 80,000 lbs. ) on an average of once per day. i. None j . None k. None 1. The construction of the facility will start on receipt of use by special review permit and will require four to five weeks to complete. m. Special landscaping is not required. n. After abandonment of the facilities, all equipment and material will be removed from the site and the land will be placed back into the same condition as it is currently. o. The facility will be equipped with suitable fire fighting equipment and the plant operators will be trained in its use. The plant controls will be designed to automatically shutdown the facilities in the event of fire and to notify the plant operator and the local fire department. During the training of the operators, the local fire department personnel will be invited to observe the training and the equipment available.
