Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this matter of record. Rod Allison, Planning Department representative, said both a Special Review Permit and a Certificate of Designation are required and read the favorable recommendations of the Planning Commission into the record. He said that the Planning staff has recommended a change to Condition 16(d) of the Special Review Permit and read the proposed Condition into the record. In the discussion which ensued, the consensus of the Board was that the last paragraph of the Condition should remain as originally proposed. Kenneth Lind, Attorney, came forward to represent the applicant. He stated that this existing facility must be brought into compliance with new State regulations, and that this request has been approved by the State Department of Health. Mr. Lind requested that Condition #1 be amended to allow 30 days for the plat to be delivered; that Condition #2 and Development Standard #3(e) be amended to allow spacing of 50 feet between trenches; and that changes be made in the trench placement and width required in Development Standard #3(f) . Vern Nelson, of Nelson Engineers, explained that the present plan for this facility provides for ultimate disposal of tires and spoke about the possibility of recycling of tires becoming economically feasible. Mr. Nelson explained the plans for eventual closure of this facility. (Tape Change #89-4) Mr. Allison reminded the Board that the details of the closure plan do not have to be determined at this hearing. Glenn Hoynoski, of High County Engineering, spoke about fire safety at this proposed operation. When the hearing was opened for public testimony, Gary Homyak, representing the Platteville Fire Department, came foward. Mr. Homyak asked that this request be approved subject to the Conditions and Development Standards proposed by the Planning Commission, and he explained his department's plans for fighting a fire at this site and why they desire 75 feet between the trenches. No further public testimony was offered. After further discussion, Mr. Lind suggested a compromise of 60 feet between 890107 2 -6‘c) j7 le, :4i✓ Page 2 RE: USR — TIRE MOUNTAIN, INCORPORATED trenches. Commissioner Lacy asked if the applicant would agree to a Road Improvements Agreement, because a high percentage of the heavy truck traffic on this area of road is due to this facility.

Commissioner Lacy moved to approve the request for a Special Use Permit, with Condition #1 changed to allow 30 days; Condition #2 and Development Standard #3(e) amended to call for 50 feet between trenches; Development Standard #3(f) amended as requested; Condition #6(d) amended as recommended by the Planning staff; and the addition of a Condition that the Engineering and Planning departments work with the applicant to prepare a Road Improvements Agreement prior to recording the plat. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion. Commissioner Brantner moved to amend the motion to require 60 feet between trenches in Condition #2 and Development Standard #3(e) . Commissioner Kennedy seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, the motion failed with Commissioners Brantner and Kennedy voting aye. The motion to approve the Special Review Permit passed on a roll call vote, with Commissioner Brantner voting nay. Commissioner Lacy moved to approve a Certificate of Designation for this operation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Johnson and carried unanimously. This Certification was approved on the 30th day of January, 1989.

CASE NUMBER: USR-842 (Continued from November 15, 1988)/4 APPLICANT: Tire Mountain, Incorporated, c/o of Kenneth Lind REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review permit for a tire landfill, storage, and recycling facility in the 1-3 (Industrial) Zone district. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SEI of Section 32, T3N, R65W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: West of Weld County Road 41 and south of Weld County Road 28. APPEARANCE: Ken Lind, Attorney, represented the applicant. He asked that comments pertaining to this request also be applied to the applicant' s request for a Certificate of Designation which is the second item on today' s agenda. This is the first case for a tire landfill submitted under the new guidelines set forth by the State of Colorado Department of Health for tire landfills. The state is recommending approval of this request. He reviewed the natural resources that can be recovered from used tires. This facility formerly received one-half million tires per year, one-third of which are sold to overseas companies. 890iCr ExhibJ J U Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 1988 Page 2 Lavern Nelson, C.E. , Nelson Engineers, Inc. , reviewed the applicant's proposal for operating the tire landfill. Tape 337 - Side 1 Glen Wynoski, P.E. , High County Engineering, who specializes in fire prevention, reviewed fire safety measures which will be conducted to make this a safe facility. Tape 337 - Side 2 The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Gary Homiack, Chief, Platteville Fire Prevention District , discussed the fire at this site in 1987. He stated water could not be used on this type of fire, it took dirt to smother it. 3:00 p.m. - LeAnn Reid has left the meeting. The idea behind this proposal is to cool the adjacent cell with water and to cover the fire with dirt. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Delmer Walters felt there was not an adequate supply of water to keep dust down, let alone to fight a fire. Gordon Weichel, lives five miles from this property, but he is concerned about rodent infestation and possible contamination of underground water tables. Donna Jones Riley, who lives four miles south of this site, asked that this request be continued until recycling technology can be obtained. She also asked that the site be limited to the present forty acre site until this method of disposal is available. Tape 338 - Side 1 Rod Allison explained the uses allowed under the current use by special review permit. Jerry Cooper, Pastor, Baptist Church, feels a health hazard already exists at the site because of stagnant water which remains in the tires and can be a breeding ground for mosquitos and a contaminant for underground water tables. However, he would choose the new proposal over the existing one. 890107 Summary of the Veld County Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 1988 Page 3 Wes Potter, Director, Environmental Health Services, explained what monitoring would be done by the Health Department. Roy Moser, area resident , stated he is neither for nor against this proposal. His main concern is another fire. He asked about the possibility of shredding the tires prior to burying. 3:58 p.m. The Chairman called a recess. 4:08 p.m. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman Betty Smith, area property owner, discussed the possibility of another fire and inquired about early detection of future fires, and the possibility of keeping a fire retardant on-site. She also presented a petition with 125 signatures opposing this request. This petition was retained as evidence. Wesley Moser, area resident, stated he is neutral on this proposal, but he can live with the new plan better than he lived with the old one. Tom Cope, P.E. , reported he has nothing to do with this case professionally, but he is concerned about the width of the roads between the cells after the cells are filled and the possibility of a cave in if traffic does get too close to the cell's edge. It was his feeling a project like this is needed in Weld County. Rod Allison explained the width proposed between trenches and the width of the road. Tape 338 — Side 2 Vern Nelson felt the possibility of this site harboring rodents is very small because there is no food source for these animals. He felt they are offering a plan to alleviate present conditions and this is a better alternative to the tire storage problem. 4:50 p.m. - Lynn Brown has left the meeting. Ann Garrison asked Rod Allison to prepare and present a requirement for an early warning detection system. Rod Allison presented the following statement to the applicant and Planning Commission for discussion: A plan for an early warning detection system shall be submitted and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

Traffic was visually counted on seven days between January 6 and January 17, 1989. The counts were taken during the day for an 8-hour period. The traffic count sheets are attached to this memo. Traffic was counted in six separate categories and for the purpose of this memorandum, analyzed in four categories; cars and pickups, single-axle trucks , tandem-axle trucks, and tractor trailer trucks. Because of their weight, the tandem-axle trucks and tractor trailer trucks are the vehicles of most concern. Below is a table that illustrates the total traffic on Weld County Road 41, the traffic entering Tire Mountain, and the percentage of traffic entering Tire Mountain for all four categories of vehicle. Total Traffic Tire Mountg,n % Tire Mountain Cars & Pickups 699 44 6% Single-Axle 27 4 15% Tandem-Axle 114 8 7% Tractor Trailer ?6 2. 2.11 TOTAL 966 82 9% Another item of concern is the cost of reclamation. Paragraph B under the Reclamation Section indicates it would cost approximately $5,000.00 to refill empty trenches with dirt piled alongside the trench, and another $400.00 to revegetate that trench, for a total of $5,400.00 per trench. These costs seem reasonable. However, the previous paragraph indicates placing a one-foot deep lift of earth over tire piles and then seeding, which would cost $8,000.00. This would not cover the cost of doing the entire site, but could cover the cost of one trench. These costs and the intention for reclamation could be clarified.

Vernon, M.D. Executive Director November 10, 1988 Weld County Board of Commissioners Post Office Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Tire Mountain, Inc. Certificate of Designation Application Dear Commissioners: The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division (the Division) of the Colorado Department of Health has completed its technical review f the Certificate of Designation application for the Tire Mountain, Inc. facility as submitted on June 27 , 1988 by Nelson Engineers. The proposed site is located approximately eight and one—half miles north of Hudson at 12311 Weld County Road 41. The site encompasses 80 acres. The application was asmrereviewed iewedatos of determine if the proposed facility could comply uo-sta standards the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act (the Act), , et seq, C.R.S. 1973 as amended, and with the regulations promulgated thereunder, 6 CCR 1007-2, known as the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities (the Regulations). The following major facility commitments are agreed to by the applicant, Tire Mountain, as contained within the application and in a letter submitted to the Division by Nelson Engineers on September 28, 1988 and an August 26, 1988 Division letter to ICI: 1. Within one month of the Certificate of Designation approval date, all incoming tires shall be stored in cells; each of which has a total depth of 15 feet (8 feet below grade and 7 feet above grade) and is 75 feet in width at the bottom and 550 feet in length. Trenches shall be excavated as needed. Tires shall be placed to the top of the trench before proceeding lengthwise along the trench. Trenching shall commence in the southwest corner of the 80—acre property and proceed eastward. It is 890107 Weld County Board of Commissioners November 10, 1988 Page 2 anticipated that about 500,000 tires will be accepted per year at this facility. Twenty-five trenches can be constructed to hold a total capacity of 12,500,000 tires. 2. The uppermost stratigraphic unit of the site consists of valley-fill deposits. Isolated pockets of water exist in these deposits. At the Tire Mountain site, borings were advanced to depth of 20 feet. Groundwater was found at 7 feet in boring six and 15 feet in boring eight. All other borings were dry. A minimum separation of 2 feet shall be maintained between seasonal high groundwater and the bottom of any trench. The trench(es) in the vicinity of boring six shall not exceed 5 feet in depth. 3. If significant recycling of the existing surface stockpile (5,000,000 tires) has not begun by May 1, 1990, the stockpiled tires will be placed in trenches at a rate of not less than 1,700,000 tires per year to meet the May 1, 1993 deadline of no surface storage of scrap tires. 4. Surface drainage will be directed away from the active trench and from all covered trenches using a system of grading and stormwater ditches. All stormwaters will be directed to a detention pond. Discharge from the detention pond shall not exceed the rate of historic runoff. 5. Volume records shall be maintained which include accurate counts of incoming truckloads of tires, tires placed in storage trenches , tires recycled on site and tires recycled off site. These counts shall be recorded daily and accumulated monthly and annually. An annual report shall be submitted to the County and the Division beginning May 1, 1989 and on Nay 1 of every subsequent year. The site shall be attended during all stages of receiving, storing, recycling, and shipping tires. 6. All weather access roads from 70 to 100 feet wide shall be maintained between the existing surface tire stockpiles. All-weather access berms 50 feet wide shall be maintained between all tire trenches. 7. The site manager lives on-site to assist in site security. Other security measures shall include the following provisions: wherever unauthorized vehicle entry might occur, tire barriers of large-sized scrap tires shall be placed; and the facility shall have a locked entrance gate. 8. Prominent signs shall posted at the entrance gate listing wastes accepted, hours of operation and a 24-hour emergency contact telephone number. 890107 Weld County Board of Commissioners November 10, 1988 Page 3 9. A potential tire fire would be extinguished using dirt from the berms and/or from areas not covered by stockpiled tires. On-site heavy equipment (consisting of one 8-yard Terex loader, one 3-yard Fiat Allis loader, one 1 1/2-yard Drott 50 backhoe and one 11-yard John Deere elevating scraper) shall be available for fire suppression efforts. The following equipment can be obtained on loan, as necessary, to assist with the suppression of a major fire: one D8 Catdozer, one D7 Catdozer, and three 18-yard Cat scrapers. Water to assist in containing and fighting a fire would be obtained from two 1000-gallon permanent irrigation wells located within one mile of the site. These wells are accessible to tanker/pumper trucks. The owner of Tire Moutain, Mr. Jamison, shall serve as the facility's emergency coordinator. It is the assessment of this Division that the proposed facility can comply with the minimum standards of the Act and with the Regulations: if the facility is constructed and operated as detailed in the submitted Certificate of Designation application, referenced correspondence and as summarized above; and if the construction and operation includes the listed recommendations of the Division. Based on this assessment, the Division recommends approval of the facility contingent upon the inclusion of the following recommendations as part of the Certificate of Designation, as issued: 1. All trenches shall be covered with 20 mil plastic and one foot of topsoil as the trench is progressively brought to final grade. No more than 100 feet of uncovered trench shall exist at any point in time. Other materials than topsoil can be used as final cover if they are non-flammable and if erosion control, wind protection, oxygen suppression, the aesthetics suitablilty, etc. , of the alternative materials can be demonstrated. 2. Upon commencement of the construction of each trench, a 10-foot hole will be excavated and left open for a minimum of three days. If groundwater is encountered, a minimum two-foot distance shall be maintained between the bottom of the trench and groundwater. 3. Notarized letters of agreement shall be submitted to the County and the Division for all wells and heavy equipment proposed to be used by Tire Mountain. 4. By January 1, 1990, a plan detailing the sequencing of trenches for the existing stockpile of tires shall be submitted for review and approval to the Weld County Health Department and the Division. 890107 Weld County Board of Commissioners November 10, 1988 Page 4 The Division cannot specifically require closure and post—closure financial assurances; the inclusion of such assurances as commitments from the applicant is recommended as part of Weld County's certification. The Division respectfully requests that Weld County send a copy of the final Certificate of Designation with all conditions to the Division when and if it is issued. If you have any questions regarding this Division's conditional approval, please contact Steve Orzynski at 331-4863. Sincerely, cf:V 141/1,A, (.7 -0-7/ Stephen . Orzynski, P.E. P la L.

This response provides the explana- tions requested and expands upon the data furnished to you as part of the request for a Certificate of Designation. We believe that this application complies with the intention of the minimum stan- dards of the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, Title 30, Article 20, Part 1, CRS 1983 as amended, and other pertinent regulations. 1. Plan for meeting the statutory deadline of May 1, 1993. The application for certificate of designation states that there are about 5,000 , 000 tires in current inventory. The applicant plans to recycle these tires as the pro- cesses for recycling become feasible. The applicant is aware of the May 1, 1993 deadline, and if recycling has not begun by May 1 . 1990 . he will begin placing existing inventory tires in planned trenches at a rate of not less than 1,500,000 tires per year. The handling process will consist of trenching the immediate area of tire storage as planned, placing the tires in the trench, either by dozing or loading, and dumping as dictated by distance requirements . Upon filling of the trench with tires , it will be covered in the prescribed manner. 2. Detailed information regarding fire control. Attached hereto is a scaled aerial photo of the existing tire stockpile area. That photo shows the existing fire lane and access road configuration. The photo shows that the fire lanes in the area are now for the most part from 70 to 100 feet wide rather than only about 35 feet wide one year ago. A potential fire will be extinguished, if need be, by smothering with dirt obtained from the areas 890117 Stephen J. Orzynski Public Health Engineer Hazardous Material and Waste Management Division Colorado Department of Health September 28 , 1988 Page Two on site not covered by tires . As a matter of practicality, any tire fire will be fought using containment measures , including dirt placement and water application for protection of adjacent areas and facilities , rather than trying to extinguish. Water for controlling a potential fire and to protect adjacent areas will be obtained from two major irrigation wells within one mile of the site. These two wells each have a capacity of 1,000 gpm and are equipped for delivery of water into tank trucks. The applicant is in the process of developing a written agreement with the well owner for use of the wells for emergency fire control at the site. Verbal agreements have been reached. When completed, copies will be sent to your office. 3. Final disposition contingency plan. A contingency plan for final and ultimate disposition of the stored tires will consist of ultimately covering the trenches with dirt. Such dirt covering will be used only as a last resort when the ultimate decision is made that recycling is not a practical and/or feasible activity. The dirt will come from the fill areas between the storage trenches. A reasonable time frame cannot be predicted since such a prediction is predicated on worldwide economic conditions that will affect the need for by-products obtained from tire recycling and how those by-products can compete in the market. The overall problem of reuse or recycling of waste tires must someday be addressed not only by tire disposal sites, but by the general public. A con- tinued accumulation of waste tires that do not disinte- grate, decay, or otherwise decompose, cannot forever be acceptable. In the meantime, every effort must be made to make storing of scrap tires a tolerable situation while maintaining them in a condition for recycling. This applicant plans to do that. The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division of the Colorado Department of Health strongly advocates the recycling of tires and discourages the landfilling of large quantities of 13n- shredded tires . (See "Department of Health Policy regarding Land- filling of Tires in Monofills" ) In concert with that policy state- ment, Tire Mountain, Inc. , intends to eliminate the surface stor- age of scrap tires by placing them in trenches that can be covered with plastic. Thus the tires are not contaminated by dirt and 89®1(77 Stephen J. Orzynski Public Health Engineer Hazardous Material and Waste Management Division Colorado Department of Health September 28 , 1988 Page Three remain available for recycling when feasible. Yet ultimate dis- posal by landfill at a later time remains an option. To keep the disposal of scrap tires viable, it is imperative that the solid wastes regulation be enforced uniformly by requiring handling and disposal in accord with the applicable provisions of the solid waste regulations in all cases. It is important to note that tires stored in cells that are duly covered do not create any public health problems of conse- quence. The site to be utilized by Tire Mountain, Inc. , is in a relatively remote area, about eight miles from the nearest muni- cipality, that being Platteville and Hudson. It is an agricultural area with a very sparse population. The site is an exceptionally good site without surface or ground water interference, and it fits well in the Master Plan of Weld County. We trust that the enclosed information provides the needed clarification and explanation so that you can make an early deci- sion regarding the application. If you need further information, please contact me. Respectfully, NELSON'- ENGINEERS LaVern C. Nelson, P. E. LCN/gc cc: Jerry Jamison, Tire Mountain, Inc. Kenneth F.

For this reason , we have no objection to approval of this plan . Sincerely , • 1"..„ Hal D. Simpson Deputy State Engineer cc : Alan Berryman . Division Engineer Steve Laughtenslager \I! AUG 1 0 1988 II 890107 heir 14 Ii:►�.«,,� ...igl�IlC�IUY Play _ville Fire Protection L ,trict P.O. Box 122 • Platteville, CO 80651 (303) 785-2232 Weld County Planning Dept . 915 10th Street Greeley , Co . Gentlemen : The Platteville Fire District has reviewed the application for a use by special review permit submitted by Tire Mountain Inc . While we realize the need for such facilities to exist we are very concerned by the fire potential posed by such a facility and the resulting damage to our environment should a fire occur . During the fire of 1987 we along with the rest of the nation learned some important lessons in dealing with a fire at this type of business . During the 1987 fire some 20 different fire agencies were on scene , the Platteville Dept . was on scene for 88 hours and had actual out of budget costs of nearly $20 , 000 . Thousands of man hours and equipment hours were volunteered and donated to help us bring this fire under control . Finally were were able to stop the spread of the fire after some 2 million tires had burnt . However in doing this we had created a very dangerous situation as the manpower and equipment normally covering each district was being tied up at Tire Mountain . We feel that we can not and will not allow such an incident to occur again . For this reason we ask that the following requirements be placed on Tire Mountain : We ask that the width of the fire breaks between cells be increased from 50 feet to 75 feet . Our reason for this is largely based on observations from the 1987 fire . During this fire we found it nearly impossible to get within 200 feet of the fire at its peak due to the tremedous amounts of radiant heat being released . However we feel due to the proposed cells being below ground level 75 feet should provide adequate seperation to keep other cells from becoming involved and also provide us with enough space to set up unmanned hose lines to cool adjacent cells should it become necessary . We believe that should a fire occur in one of the cells unless it is extinguished within the first 5 to 10 minutes of burning there will be no way of extinguishing the fire untill all 500 , 000 tire in the one cells have burnt down to a point that will allow equipment close enough to bury the tires . We estimate this will be approximatly 8 hours into the fire . 890107 Pla sville Fire Protection L trict P.O. Box 122 • Platteville, CO 80651 (303) 785-2232 In order to avoid allowing all 500 , 000 tires to burn we suggest that Tire Mountain install fire breaks across the width of the cells . These Breaks should be provided 150 feet apart and be 10 feet wide , made of earth and extend the full depth of the cell . By providing these additional breaks we hope to limit the size of the potential fire to one which can be more easily dealt with . Based on our experences from the 1987 fire we believe it may become necassary to use hose lines to keep adjacent cells cool so as not to become involved , and because it will most certainly be necassary to protect equipment and its operators while engaged in burying the burning tires we are requiring that Tire Mountain Inc . provide us with sources of water . As stated in the application the storage yard is in a remote location , the nearest municpal water sources is over 8 miles away . We are willing to accept several different means of suppling water some of our ideas and minimum requirements are outlined in these options : Option #1 . Tire Mountain would agree to supply us with at least two sources of water within 14 miles of the proposed site . Each source must be capable of suppling at least 500 GPM for at least 8 hours . Each site must be equipt with an approved methiod of connecting to our fire apparatus approval to come from the Platteville Fire Dept . We ask that a agreement be signed between Tire Mountain and the water supplier concerning installation costs , operating costs and maintence all of which shall be the respon- sabilty of the owner or Tire Mountain . The Platteville Fire District requires that each site be tested annually by the Platteville fire Dept . to asure proper flows and operation . We have reviewed the the area and found several nearby irrigation wells that could easily be addapted to our need . Option #2 Tire Mountain provides a water source on site capable of flowing 1000 gpm for at least 8 hours this could be in the form of a well or a tank or a combination of the two . Again we require the supply to have our approval to asure it is compatable with our equipment . In the application Tire Mountain proposes to have 2 , 200 gallon tank on site for firefighting . In our opinion this would be of no use to us . In the past we have found the water in the tank to be contaminaded beyond use and due to the small amount it would not be worth the time it would take to use the water . In comparison one load of our tanker contains 3 , 500 gallons . 890107 Plat Nille Fire Protection L trict P.O. Box 122 • Platteville, CO 80651 (303) 785-2232 As stated in Tire Mountain ' s application the area around the proposed site is very sandy which make access nearly impossible for fire equipment . It is very important that fire equipment access roads be provided to all parts of the yard . A fire equipment access road is defined as road designed and mantained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus ( 50 , 000#) it shall be provided with a suface so as to provide all—weather driving capabilities . During the 1987 fire we had difficulty in moving our apparatus around due to the sandy conditions . During the 1987 fire it was determined by the incident commander that the best way to extinguish the fire would be to smother it with dirt . this proved to be very effective , however the equipment to proform this task was suppied by the Platteville Fire District and Weld County at great costs to each . As the Platteville Fire District is not in the excavation business we can not afford to incur these cost as this is clearly not within the means of normal firefighting . For this reason we ask that Tire Mountain be required to provide equipment necassary to bury a fire should it occur in a prompt and efficient manner . Also during the 1987 fire we had difficulty in locating adequate dirt to smother the fire . For this reason we ask that Tire Mountain assure us that they have adequate dirt on hand to accomplish burying the cells as needed . It is not our intentions to mall business impossible for Tire Mountain Inc . for as stated earlier we recognize the need for such facilities to exist . Our intentions by making these requirements our to enable us the Platteville Fire District to contain a fire in one of the proposed cells to one cell without experencing costs beyond what is normal to firefighting . We believe that these requirements along with the cooperation of Tire Mountain Inc . will enable us to lessen the losses to Tire Mountain and able us to more quickly bring the fire under control thus lessoning the harm to our environment .

In the event the Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation are not approved in accordance with the applications submitted by Tire , this Lease shall be null and void and all parties released from the provisions hereof. 3 . For and in consideration of the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ( $500. 00) per year which shall be paid by Tire to Moser , Moser hereby agrees to lease to Tire the right to use the wells 890107 1 described hereinabove for emergency fire fighting operations appurtenant or necessary at the property described hereinabove owned by Tire . The Five Hundred Dollar ($500. 00) annual payment shall be paid by Tire to Moser on or before February 1 of each year commencing February 1 , 1989 and due every year thereafter during the term of this Lease . 4 . The term of this Lease shall commence January 1 , 1989 and be in effect for a period of ten ( 10 ) years unless sooner terminated . 5 . As additional rights and considerations for the granting of this Lease , Moser agrees to allow Tire to install , at its own expense , necessary equipment and apparatus to allow the wells to be used by the Platteville Fire Department for fire fighting operations . All equipment and apparatus shall be installed with the approval and supervision of the Platteville Fire Department and Moser agrees to allow the installation of such equipment . It is agreed that the installation of such equipment is the sole responsibility and expense of Tire and Tire hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Moser for the use and/or operation of such equipment at any time . Moser further agrees to allow either the Platteville Fire Department or Tire to test said wells and apparatus at any time to assure proper flow and operation. 6 . Moser agrees to provide all necessary electrical connections and supply to keep the wells in good operating condition such that the wells can be used on a year-round basis . Moser further agrees to keep the wells and appurtenant pumping equipment in good and operable condition such that the wells will each provide not less than 500 gallons per minute of water for eight continuous hours . 7 . Tire will be in default under this agreement if Tire fails to pay the rent in full on or before the dates when it is due or if Tire fails to comply with any of the affirmative obligations set forth in this Lease which must be performed by Tire . Moser shall be in default under this agreement if Moser fails to comply with any of the affirmative obligations set forth in this agreement to be performed by Moser. In the event of any default by any party , the non-defaulting party shall provide written notice of the alleged default to the defaulting party and the defaulting party shall be allowed 30 days to correct any such default . The 30 days shall commence as of the date of mailing or delivering the written notice to the other party and all such mailing or delivery shall be by registered or certified mail postage prepaid and properly addressed or by personal delivery . If , after 30 days the defaulting party has not corrected the default , the non-defaulting party may terminate this Lease . However , in the event of a default by Moser, Tire shall have the 890107 2 right to make any repairs , connections or adjustments to any well to bring it into operation . All such costs incurred by Tire shall be deducted from rent which may be owed by Tire to Moser. 8 . It is further agreed between the parties that Moser shall not be liable to Tire for any damage or injuries caused by any shortage of water from the use of the wells . 9 . Moser agrees not to abandon or terminate use of the wells without the prior written consent of Tire . The parties hereto understand and agree that the emergency use of said wells is a requirement for the operations of the tire facility. 10 . This agreement may be modified or amended by all parties hereby entering into any such modification in writing and signed by all such parties . 11 . This lease may be renewed for an additional period of ten ( 10 ) years by Tire . To renew this Lease , Tire shall give written notice to Moser not later than November 1 , 1998. 12 . The parties agree that this agreement or a memorandum of this agreement shall be recorded with the Clerk and Recorder of Weld County , Colorado incorporating the provisions of this agreement which shall bind not only the parties hereto but also their heirs , personal representatives , lessees , successors and assigns and the provisions of this agreement shall constitute covenants running with the title to the lands described herein . - IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties hereto have executed this agreement the day and year first above written .

Plans and typical cross sections for access roads and berms are provided on the accom- panying plan sheet 2 of 2 "Use by Special Review - Permit Plan Map" dated May, 1988 , Revisions 12-22-88 for Tire Mountain, Inc. Actual road profiles are not provided ; however, there is sufficient existing topography to accommodate positive profile slopes and drainage. In general, road surface profiles will follow the existing surface grade pattern. It is the intent that the on- site roads will be capable of being accessed in weather conditions at the same time commensurate with access to the site from the adjacent County roads . 6 .c. Early warning detection system. 1 ) Personnel who live on-site on a permanent and continuous basis shall constitute the early detection system. In addition, there are often other people on-site loading or unloading tires or otherwise working on the site . Some of these operations occur outside normally accepted working hours. There are other operations with a great risk of fire in Weld County such as , Natural gas process- ing plants , landfills , asphalt plants , flammable materials storage facilities , and the like , and none have a require- ment for early detection systems, which are impractical and economically unfeasible. 2 ) We know of no requirement for early warning systems for solid waste disposal facilities . The normal solid waste disposal site has fire risk from several sources includ- ing lightning, with lightning probably being the most remote . In the case of tire storage, lightning is about the only fire risk and surely it is more remote for tire storage than for normal mixed solid waste. The starting on fire of a tire requires a substantially higher ignition temperature than does paper, wood, light plastics , boxes , and the like found in the normal solid waste disposal area . 3 ) The State has required dirt cover or other acceptable - nonflammable cover to be placed over the tires as filling occurs . The filling is to occur in the trench to its c. ' top before moving along the trench in a horizontal fashion. Immediately upon reaching full depth of tires , Tire Mountain, Inc. , is required to cover those tires in 611:-C_%1 J place. As a result, a minimum of exposure to fire source occurs in the applicants method of operation. 4 ) A probability of lightning creating a fire in an under- ground storage area of a material that is difficult to ignite at best is very low. An analysis by High Country 899107 Engineering showed a relatively low risk when using information from the National Fire Protection Association Lightning Protection Code, which includes such factors as 1 ) type of structure; 2 ) type of construction; 3 ) relative location (height, size, etc. ) ; 4 ) topography of site and surrounding area; 5 ) type of occupancy; and, 6 ) the number of thunderstorms occurring annually in the general area. Although some of the factors are not applicable, nonetheless the analysis is indicative of the very low risk of creating a fire in underground trenches due to lightning. 5 ) Early warning systems . Early warning systems and.fire detection systems or facilities were investigated . These included infrared detection cameras (television) and standard flame detection devices. The systems or facili- ties investigated had technical shortcomings that are not feasibly overcome. The primary shortcoming is that each has a very limited distance ( 100 ' , or so) of detec- tion thereby requiring an inordinate number of units (cameras , heat detectors , and the like ) . Each system was based upon electronic detection, which uses expen- sive equipment and without a large number of units the system would not serve a useful purpose. The costs would probably exceed $100 , 000 for a mediocre system. 6 ) Fire risk. There will be no fire risk in trenched tires except lightning and that risk as shown herein is almost nonexistent. Tires , when covered with dirt sufficient to smother a fire, are not a risk to subsequent fire from lightning or any other cause. Because of the minimal risk and the high cost of an electronic detec- tion system, it is not cost effective to provide any early warning system other than on-site staff . The on- site staff should be instructed to be watchful for circumstances that could lead to a lightning fire and then be even more observant of immediate activities from the thunderstorms occurring in the area. 6 .d. Post performace guarantees . 1 ) Closure of the facility. Closure will be accomplished in accordance with the regulations in effect at the time of closure. Descriptions of closure plans , that is reclamation and revegetation, are provided under paragraph 6 .d. 2. , below. The costs therefore are as shown in the following sections . The costs will be guaranteed by either a closure and reclamation bond or a bank letter of credit in the amounts shown herein as those liabilities and costs occur up to a maximum guarantee of $8 , 000 . 890107 2 ) Reclamation and revegetation. Two scenarios : tires in ultimate disposal ; or stored for recycling. a. Tires in ultimate disposal to never be recycled . The entire trench would ultimately be covered with dirt at least one foot deep. The areas filled with tires would not be reclaimed . The roadways would be left in place for fire access to purpetuity. Native grass seed as recommended by the Soil Conservation Service could be spread over the entire area ; however, due to road compaction , a reasonable germination and growth pattern could not be expected in those areas . The drainage system would remain as developed for the disposal function. Reclamation of the area would probably not occur and revegetation of salvable areas is estimated to cost $8 , 000 . b. Tires stored for recycling and ultimately removed therefor. If the trenches were not needed for con- tinuing storage, they would be emptied of tires and as such removal occured, the trenches would be filled with the adjacent removed earth to the approximate contour before trenching. The filled area would be graded to drain as is the current situation. Revegetation will consist of planting the entire area of tire storage with native grass seed as recom- mended by the Soil Conservation Service. The earth- work required to fill each trench is about 10 , 000 cubic yards at an estimated cost of $5 , 000 . Revege- tation of the reclaimed area is estimated to cost about $400 per trench. The area would be returned as nearly as possible and feasible to its natural preuse state. 3 ) Off-site litter and tire control. Off-site litter and tire control will not be a problem because the commodity is unaffected by wind . Any off-site tires that are inadvertently spilled from trucks on the adjacent roads will be collected by personnel on a weekly basis and placed in the tire storage. No special cost is provided because this is a minor operation and is considered a part of the normal operating budget . 4 ) Monitoring and maintenance. The monitoring and maintenance of the area is primarily a management function. There will be continual personnel on-site monitoring tire input and removal, road access , weed control, and other monitoring and maintenance func- tions . Personnel and equipment descriptions are provided in the application under "Operational Data" . 890107 LIND, LAWRENCE & OTTENHOFF ATTORNEYS AT LAW THE LAW BUILDING 1011 ELEVENTH AVENUE P O.BOX 326 GREELEY,COLORADO 80632 GEORGE H.OTTENHOFF TELEPHONE KENNETH F.LIND (303)353.2323 KIM R.LAWRENCE 1303)356,9160 June 24 , 1988 Department of Planning Services 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80631 Re : Application for Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation Gentlemen: Accompanying this letter are 30 copies of USR permit plan maps including vicinity map and plot plan , application fee , application form and attachments , description of operation , supporting documents and copy of Certificate of Designation application as submitted to the Colorado Department of Health. This letter is part of the application and should be construed in accordance therewith. The proposed use for the site is to receive , store , dispose and eventually recycle used and discarded tires. The application is for a tire landfill and is made pursuant to March 16 , 1988 scrap tire recycling regulations which were promulgated pursuant to the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act , Title 30-20-Part 1 C . R . S . 1973 as amended . It should be noted that while the tire recycling facilities and regulations come under the Solid Waste Disposal Act many of the requirements and regulations pursuant to said act are not applicable as tire storage does not have any impact on surface or ground water which is the prime consideration for solid waste disposals and landfills . It should be noted that pursuant to the 1988 Recycling Facilities Act all tire recycling facilities in existence prior to May 1 , 1988 must apply for a Certificate of Designation and the applicant has simultaneously submitted to the State of Department of Health an application for a Certificate of Designation pursuant to the scrap tire recycling regulations as well as for designation of a solid waste disposal facility for tires only . The purpose of this application is to receive County approval of the County portion of the Certificate of Disposal and to amend Special Use Permit No . 305 previously granted to the subject facilities. The 1988 regulations require that all tires in existence prior to May 1 , 1988 be disposed of at approved 890107 Department of Planning Services June 24 , 1988 Page 2 solid waste disposal facilities or recycled by May 1 , 1993. This application is for the approval of a solid waste disposal facility and not for recycling as the technology and economies for recycling of tires are not practical or in existence at this time . However , the applicant and others have been researching recycling facilities and the property is more than adequate for recycling operations when the same become economical and practical. It is contemplated that recycling of the tires will become economical and practical in the near future and at that time the applicant will then submit a second amended USR application and request for Certificate of Designation to commence recycling operations. Thus , the present application is designed for a two-fold purpose , that being to dispose of tires and hold them and , at the same time , to allow for the ease of recycling when the technology and economy allow such operations . Thus , all tires presently on site will be disposed of on site into the tire holding cells by May 1 , 1993 and all tires brought to the site subsequent to the approval of the USR and Certificate of Designation will be placed into the tire holding cells . If, for some reason , tire recycling does not become technologically available or economically feasible in the foreseeable future , the facility is designed to safely store the tires in the cells for an indefinite period of time and be in compliance with the Solid Waste Disposal Act and Regulations. The need for this type of use is very apparent as in Colorado over two million tires are discarded each year with only a few being recycled or retreaded . Most of the tires are placed in stock piles and subsequently burned , buried or illegally dumped . While the applicant believes that environmental hazards related to the stockpiling of tires are very minimal it is necessary that safer storage and use of scrap tires be accomplished and this application is to provide for a safe , • environmental and economic means of disposal/storage and future recycling. At the present time , the applicant operates a surface storage and 'tire disposal business under I-3 zoning and Special Use Permit No. 305 . This operation has been in existence since August 18 , 1976 . Surrounding properties are zoned agricultural or I-3 with uses including grazing , dryland farming , a turkey hatchery and junk storage . The turkey hatchery is located approximately } mile to the northwest , Hudson Auto Salvage is located mile to the northeast and the two closest towns include Hudson 81 miles south and Platteville being 101 miles northwest . 890107 Department of Planning Services June 24 , 1988 Page 3 Virtually all surrounding land is zoned agricultural except for the immediate I-3 zoning and several Uses by Special Review. At the present time there are two residences located on the property and a third is contemplated and has been approved . These three homes are and will be for personnel for operation of the tire recycling facility . Another residence is located mile north on Weld County Road 28 which is used for operations at the Hudson Auto Salvage . One mile east on Weld County Road 43 are four homes and } mile south is one residence located on Weld County Road 41 . There are no residences to the west located within two miles . The applicant believes that approximately 15 people per day will use the facility being truckers, sellers of tires and buyers. It is estimated that 10 of the 15 will be truck drivers delivering tires in various size trucks . At the present time there are two employees on site working an eight hour shift and it is contemplated that with the approval of this application there will be five employees working eight hour shifts . No water is required for the operation of the tire storage facility either existing or contemplated and domestic water is provided from the Laramie Fox Hills Non-tributary Aquifer approximately 330 feet below the surface . This well provides 15 gallons per minute of water which is more than adequate for all domestic needs. At the present time sewage is handled by means of septic tanks and leach fields which will be maintained and are adequate to handle future needs. Access routes to the site are by means of State and County highways and it is believed that approximately 90% of the traffic generated by the proposed application will originate near Denver . which will travel by means of Interstate 76 to Hudson , across State Highway 52 to Weld County Road 41 to the site ; or U . S . Highway 85 to Fort Lupton , then east on State Highway 52 to Weld County Road 41 then north on Weld County Road 41 to the site . The traffib associated with the operation consists of a large variety of trucks and it is projected that a maximum of four semi-tractor trailer trucks per day will be delivering tires to the site being a maximum of 51 , 000 pounds each . The applicant estimates that ten farm trucks and pickup type trucks or cars will be the balance of vehicle traffic on a daily basis . Fire protection will include maintenance and removal of all weeds on the property , limiting arc and acetylene welding to 890107 Department of Planning Services June 24 , 1988 Page 4 restricted areas , the use of 50 foot wide fire lanes between all holding cells with the dirt bermed beside the holding cells for smothering and containment of any fire that may be started in a holding cell and allowing the use of bulldozer type equipment to push the dirt over the cells . Additionally, the applicant will install a 2, 200 gallon storage tank for protection of structures and to provide water for any firefighting personnel and to cool equipment. The best means for control of fires is by smothering and the use of soil , equipment and the holding cells will maximize the firefighting potential. No animals other than guard dogs will be on site and there will be no waste , stockpile or storage areas except for the actual tire storage cells. The operation will be to place the tires into holding cells with each cell containing 500 , 000 tires . Once the cells is filled the cell will be covered with six mill plastic sheeting and then weighted and held in place by tires placed on top of the plastic sheeting. Covering the cells with plastic will result in storm water runoff from the surface and storm water detention ponds will be created and enlarged as needed on the east side of the properties. Only one cell will be operated and filled at any one time therefore the storm water retention ponds will be sized and created as needed for each cell or cells. The facility will not have any type of debris , junk or other waste associated with the use except for the tires themselves which will be disposed of on site in the tire holding cells . The applicant does not propose any type of landscaping plan due to the isolation of the site and due to the fact that most of the operation is below the surface and the only exposed portion will be earth berms about 7 feet high. There will be no erosion control measures except the storm water drainage ponds as there will be no other possible type of erosion associated with the facility . ' As far as additional protection of the public , access will be controlled by use of gates but perimeter fencing is not proposed as the site is isolated with natural barriers, such as blow sand , surrounding the site which prohibits vehicle movement . Additionally , fencing would impede maneuverability of earth-moving equipment used for fire control opertions . It is not contemplated that the activity will cease as if both parcels are developed into tire storage cells , as the number 890107 Department of Planning Services June 24 , 1988 Page 5 of cells proposed will hold approximately thirteen million tires. It is further contemplated that as recycling facility technology is developed the tires will be removed from cells and used for recycling. If there are more tires than can be recycled , those tires will be placed in storage cells and in the event the recycling facilities can consume all of the celled tires , the cells will be closed in accordance with Colorado Department of Health regulations and returned to dryland farming . However , it is contemplated that the cells will be needed for efficient operations of recycling. Construction for the facility and startup can begin immediately after approval as the construction equipment is available on site which will include use of loaders , backhoes , scrapers and dozers. Construction of the tire holding cells will be done on a demand basis meaning only enough trench or cell space will be opened to accommodate the needed placement of tires . The proposed facility is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the intent of the District in which the use is located as the subject property is currently zoned I-3 and this type of use is permitted by a Use by Special Review application . Additionally , such a use is permitted in agricultural zoned areas. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as being industrial and agricultural and the use is compatible with the existing uses. As the proposed use is currently taking place upon property zoned I-3 , no additional land will be used for the operations and thus productive agricultural land will not be used. Adequate safeguards for the health , safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County are provided for as the facility is in a sparsely populated area, adequate access for fire protection and containment is provided , a source of solid waste is being handled and used for future recycling and the burying and storage of the tires are done in environmentally safe and aesthetic manner. The proposed facility is not located in any type of flood plain or other overlay district and there are no known airport or other geologic hazards . This proposal is a unique and exciting method for handling of problem tires, is well engineered and has significant benefits of handling a problem and providing for easy recycling in the 890117 Department of' Planning Services June 24 , 1988 Page 6 future . It is requested that the County approve this application . Very truly yours, LIN , LAWREN E & OTTE OFF Kenneth F.

The investigation included test borings and laboratory testing of samples obtained from these borings. The objectives of this study were to (1 ) evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site relative to the proposed construction, (2) make recommendations regarding the design of the proposed trenches and embankments, and (3) recommend certain precautions which should be taken because of adverse soil and/or ground water conditions. SITE EXPLORATION The field exploration, carried out on May 3, 1988, consisted of drilling, logging, and sampling ten (10) test borings. The test borings were located by Empire Laboratories, Inc. from existing property corners. The locations of the test borings are shown on the Test Boring Location Plan included in Appendix A of this report. Boring logs prepared from the field logs are shown in Appendix A. These logs show soils encountered, location of sampling, and ground water at the time' of the exploration. The borings were advanced with a four-inch diameter, continuous- type, power-flight auger drill. During the drilling operations, a geotechnical engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc. was present and made continuous observations of the soils encountered. -1- 890107 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The proposed site is located at the northwest corner of County Road 26 and County Road 41 , southeast of Platteville, Colorado. More particularly, the site is described as Tracts A and B of the Jamison Special Use Permit located in the Southeast 1 /4 of Section 32, Township 3 North, Range 65 West of the Sixth P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. The site consists of two parcels. An office and existing garages are located in the northeast corner of the north parcel. Stockpiles and tires are located in the central portion of this tract, and portions of this area are fenced. A long trench, five (5) to ten (10) feet deep, is located in the western portion of this tract. Large piles of tires are located south of the trench. An area where tires have been burned and covered with sand is located in the northwest corner of Parcel A. The north parcel is relatively flat to gently rolling and exhibits poor to minor surface drainage. Tires are stockpiled at the northeast corner of the south parcel, and the remainder of the tract consists of a vacant area vegetated with grass and weeds. This area of Parcel B is relatively flat to gently rolling and has positive drainage generally to the northeast. LABORATORY TESTS AND EVALUATION Samples obtained from the test borings were subjected to testing in the laboratory to provide a sound basis for evaluating the physical properties of the soils encountered. Moisture contents, dry unit weights, unconfined compressive strengths, and the Atterberg limits were determined. A summary of the test results is included in Appendix B. Grain size distribution characteristics were also determined, and curves showing this data are included in Appendix B. SOIL AND GROUND WATER CONDITIONS The soil profile at the site consists of strata of materials arranged in different combinations. In order of increasing depths, they are as follows: -2- 890107 (1) Fill Material and Silty Topsoil : A seven and one-half (7-1/2) to nine (9) foot layer of fill material was encountered at the surface of Borings 1 and 2. The fill consists of a mixture of silty sand, burnt tires, and pieces of tire wire. A six (6) inch layer of silty topsoil was encountered at the surface in Borings 5 through 10. The topsoil has been penetrated by root growth and organic matter. (2) Silty Sand: A layer of clean to silty sand underlies the surface, fill and/or topsoil and extends to the sandy silty clay stratum below. A lower layer of the silty sand was encountered in Boring 10 at a depth of thirteen (13) feet and extends to depths of seventeen (17) feet below the surface. The sand is nonplastic to slightly plastic, is contains varying amounts of silt and is dry to damp in situ. (3) Sandy Silty Clay: This stratum underlies the silty sand in all borings at depths of one (1 ) to thirteen (13) feet below the surface and extends to depths of twelve and one-half (12-1 /2) feet to beyond the depths explored. A lower layer of the clay stratum was encountered in Boring 4 at a depth of seventeen and one-half (17-1 /2) feet below the surface and extends beyond the depth explored. The silty clay is plastic, contains varying amounts of sand and is damp in situ. (4) Silty Sand and Gravel: The silty sand and gravel was encountered within the clay stratum in Boring 4 at a depth of twelve and one-half (12-1 /2) feet below the surface and in Boring 10 at a depth of seventeen (17) feet below the surface and and extends to depths of seventeen and one-half (17-1 /2) feet to greater than twenty (20) feet. The silty sand and gravel contains varying amounts of silt, is poorly graded, and is medium dense to dense. -3- 890107 (5) Ground Water: At the time of the investigation, free ground was encountered in Borings 6 and 8 at depths of seven (7) to fifteen and one-half (15-1 /2) feet below the surface. No free ground water was encountered in the remaining borings drilled at the site to the depths explored. Water levels in this area are subject to change due to seasonal variations. RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSSION It is our understanding that trenches approximately 67-foot wide at the bottom and 8-foot deep with 8-foot berms on the sides are to be constructed to store used tires. The top of the trenches will be covered with a synthetic liner which can be removed in the future so the tires can be recycled. The trenches will be approximately 75- to 80-feet apart. Based on the soil and ground water conditions encountered, it is our opinion the site is suitable for the proposed use. It is recommended that the bottom of the trenches be placed a minimum of two (2) feet above existing ground water. In the area of Boring 6, the trenches should be no more than four (4) feet deep in the remainder of the site, the proposed trench depth of eight (8) feet is feasible. It is recommended that the trenches be excavated on 1-1 /2 to 2 :1 slopes. Sloughing or failure may occur on slopes steeper than 1-1 /2:1 . Subgrade below embankments adjacent to the excavated areas should be scarified and recompacted at or near optimum moisture to a minimum of ninety percent (90$) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78. (See Appendix C.) Fill should consist of the excavated material and should be placed in uniform six (6) to eight (8) inch lifts on minimum 2:1 slopes and mechanically compacted at or near optimum moisture to a minimum of ninety percent (90$) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78. The embankment material should be constructed on minimum 2:1 slopes. It is our understanding that the slopes will not be vegetated. It should be noted that erosion of the face of the slopes may occur if they are not vegetated or protected from erosion or weathering. The growth of weeds should help minimize erosion of the embankment slopes. -4- 8301,07 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (1 ) It is recommended that compaction requirements specified herein be verified in the field with density tests performed under the direction of the geotechnical engineer. GENERAL COMMENTS This report has been prepared to aid in the evaluation of the property and to assist the engineer in the design of this project. In the event that any changes in the design of the trenches or their locations are planned, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report will not be considered valid unless said changes are reviewed and conclusions of this report modified or approved in writing by Empire Laboratories, Inc. , the geotechnical engineer of record. Every effort was made to provide comprehensive site coverage through careful locations of the test borings, while keeping the site investigation economically viable. Variations in soil and ground water conditions between test borings may be encountered during construction. In order to permit correlation between the reported subsurface conditions and the actual conditions encountered during construction and to aid in carrying out the plans and specifications as originally contemplated, it is recommended that Empire Laboratories, Inc. be retained to perform continuous construction review during the excavation and foundation phases of the work. Empire Laboratories, Inc. assumes no responsibility for compliance with the recommendations included in this report unless they have been retained to perform adequate on-site construction review during the course of construction. -5- 890107 APPENDIX A. 890197 TEST BORING LOCATION PLAN II SCALE- : I " 400' oI � u coubITY ROMP 41 - - - - - - - J L _ _ _ _ Q3 No.5 No.10 I0 No.40 No.90 I I I I I PARcL A PARC V.L 6 • 0 00.3 JJo_S No.7 0 No. I 45No.6 A-2 899197 EMPIRE LABORATORIES, INC. • KEY TO BORING LOGS f/j��1 TOPSOIL ••�,.

Suggested Minimum Specifications for Placement of Compacted Earth Fill and/or Backfilis GENERAL The geotechnical engineer shall be the owner's, architect's, engineer's or contractor's representative to observe placement of compacted fill and/or backfill on the project. The geotechnical engineer or his representative shall approve all earth materials prior to their use, the method of placement and the degree of compaction. MATERIALS Soils used for all compacted fill and backfill shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to their use. Fill material shall be free from organic matter, frozen material and other unsuitable substance and shall not contain rocks or lumps having a diameter greater than six (6) inches. SUBGRADE PREPARATION All topsoil, vegetation, trees, brush, timber, debris, rubbish and all other unsuitable material shall be removed to a depth satisfactory to the geotechnical engineer or his representative. The material shall be disposed of by suitable means prior to beginning preparation of the subgrade. The subgrade shall be scarified a minimum depth of six (6) inches, moisture conditioned as necessary and compacted in a suitable manner prior to placement of fill material. Fill shall not be placed until approval by the geotechnical engineer or his representative; and in no case, shall fill material be placed on frozen or unstable ground. Subgrade which is not stable may require the use of imported granular material, geotextiles or other methods for stabilization as approved by the geotechnical engineer. FILL PLACEMENT Fill material shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. Material proposed for use as fill shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to use. Proposed import material shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to hauling to the project site. Fill material shall be C-2 8901)7 uniformly mixed such as to preclude the formation of lenses of material differing from the surrounding material. All clods shall be broken into small pieces. The contractor shall construct the fill in approximately horizontal lifts extending the entire length of the fill. The thickness of the layers before compaction shall not be greater than eight (8) inches. Fill being placed on slopes or hillsides shall be benched into the existing slope. A minimum two (2) foot horizontal bench shall be cut into the existing excavated slope for each four (4) feet vertical of fill, or each lift should be benched slightly into the existing grade. MOISTURE CONTROL Prior to and during compaction operations, the fill material being placed shall be maintained within the range of optimum moisture specified. A general recommendation is to maintain the fill material within two percent (2%) plus or minus of optimum moisture so that proper compaction to the specified density may be obtained with a minimal effort. In building pad and paved areas, material exhibiting swelling potential shall be maintained between optimum moisture and two percent (2%) wet of optimum moisture content. The moisture content of the fill material shall be maintained uniform throughout the fill. The contractor may be required to add necessary moisture to the fill material and to uniformly mix the water with the fill material if, in the opinion of the geotechnical engineer, it is not possible to obtain uniform moisture content by adding water on the fill surface. If, in the opinion of the geotechnical engineer, the material proposed for use in the compacted fill is too wet to permit adequate compaction, it shall be dried in an acceptable manner prior to placement and compaction. Uniform mixing may require discing, blading or other methods approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative. Adjustments of moisture content shall be made on the basis of determinations of moisture content by field tests as construction progresses. COMPACTION The contractor shall furnish and operate the necessary types and kinds of equipment to perform the operations required to obtain the specified compaction. This equipment may include approved tamping rollers, rubber tired rollers, smooth wheeled rollers and vibratory rollers. If a sheepsfoot roller is used, it shall be provided with cleaner bars so attached as to prevent the accumulation of material between the tamper feet. Fill areas which are not accessible to full-sized construction equipment shall be placed in maximum four (4) inch lifts and compacted with power tampers to the specified density. C-3 89®1 n7 Compaction should meet the minimum percentages of maximum density as set forth in the project specifications or the recommendations of the report. The contract specifications supercede the recommendations given in this report. MOISTURE DENSITY RELATIONSHIP DETERMINATION Samples of representative fill materials to be placed shall be furnished by the contractor to the geotechnical engineer for determination of maximum density and optimum moisture or relative density. Sufficient laboratory moisture density or relative density curves will be made to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum density for the various soils placed as fill. Tests for this determination will be made using the appropriate method conforming to the requirements of ASTM D 698 (Standard Proctor), ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor) or ASTM D 4253, D 4254 (Relative Density). The materials used for fill shall be classified in accordance with ASTM D 2487 in order to permit correlation between the moisture density relationship data and the material being placed and compacted. Copies of the results of these tests will be furnished to the client and others as directed by the client. These test results shall be the basis of control for all compaction effort. FIELD DENSITY AND MOISTURE TESTS The in-place density and moisture content of compacted fill will be determined by the geotechnical engineer or his representative in accordance with ASTM D 1556 (sand cone method) or ASTM D 2922, D 3017 (nuclear methods). Material not meeting the required compaction and/or moisture specifications shall be recompacted and/or moisture conditioned until the required percent compaction and/or moisture content is obtained. Sufficient compaction tests shall be made and submitted to support the geotechnical engineer's or his representative's recommendations. The results of density tests will also be furnished to the client and others as directed. C-4 89®1n7 140 Res.76 .. r ORADONVISION OF WATER RESr .CES 81t ntennia Id ., 1313 Sherman St., Denver,Co.

FINDINGS OF THE STATE ENGINEER IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR A WELL PERMIT IN WATER DIVISION NO. 1, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO APPLICANT : JARRALD A. JAMISON AQUIFER : LARAMIE-FOX HILLS PERMIT NO. : 3z004- F In compliance with C.R.S. 37-90-137(1) and the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, Jarrold A. Jamison, 15721 Weld Co. Rd. 10, Ft. Lupton, Colorado 80621 , (hereinafter "applicant") submitted an application for a permit to construct a well . Based on information provided by the applicant and records of the Division of Water Resources, the State Engineer finds as follows: 1 . The application was received complete by the State Engineer on June 29, 1987. 2. The applicant proposes to increase and expand the use of an existing well, Permit No. 84494. Permit No. 84494 was issued on June 23, 1976 for domestic purposes. Well construction was completed on January 8, 1978 to a total depth of 410 feet with perforated casing installed from 330 feet to 410 feet deep. 3. The well is located in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 32, Township 3 North, Range 65 West, 6th Principal Meridian. 4. The well is located outside the boundaries of a designated ground water basin. 5. The applicant proposes to apply the water withdrawn from the well to the following beneficial uses: Domestic, commercial , industrial , and irrigation. l 6. The proposed maximum pumping rate of the well is 15 gallons per minute, and the requested average annual amount of -ground water to be withdrawn is 3 acre-feet. 7. The applicant is the owner of the land on which the well is constructed. 8. The well withdraws ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer (hereinafter "aquifer") , which, according to the Denver Basin Rules, is located 330 feet to 660 feet below land surface at the location of the well . 9. The location of the well is more than 600 feet from any existing well completed in the aquifer. 890117 • Applicant : Jarrald A. Jamison Page 2 Aquifer : Laramie-Fox Hills Permit No. : 3 .Oo4- 1- 10. According to a sworn statement, the applicant owns, or has consent to withdraw ground water underlying 40 acres of land as further described in said statement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 11 . Withdrawal of ground water from the aquifer underlying the land claimed by the applicant will not, within one hundred years, deplete the flow of a natural stream at an annual rate greater than one-tenth of one percent of the annual rate of withdrawal and therefore the ground water is nontributary ground water as defined in C.R.S. 37-90-103(10.5) . 12. In considering whether the requested permit shall be approved the provisions of C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) and the Denver Basin Rules shall apply. Withdrawals shall be allowed on the basis of an aquifers life of 100 years, C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) (b)(I) . 13. The quantity of water in the aquifer, exclusive of artificial recharge, underlying the 40 acres of land described in Exhibit A is 960 acre-feet. This determination was based on the following as specified in the Denver Basin Rules: a. The average specific yield of the saturated aquifer materials, underlying the land under consideration is 15 percent. b. The average thickness of the saturated aquifer materials, underlying the land under consideration is 160 feet. 14. A review of the records in the State Engineer's office has not disclosed that there are any other existing wells or other water rights claiming or withdrawing ground water from the aquifer underlying the land claimed by the applicant. Based on the above, the State Engineer finds that there is water available, for withdrawal by the proposed well and no material injury to vested water rights would result from the issuance of the requested permit subject to the following conditions: a. The allowed average annual amount of water to be withdrawn from the aquifer by the well shall not exceed 3 acre-feet (the quantity of water requested by the applicant) . b. The maximum pumping rate of the well shall not exceed 15 gallons per minute. c. A totalizing flow meter must be installed on the well and maintained in good working order. Permanent records of all diversions must be maintained by the well owner (recorded at least annually) and submitted to the Division Engineer upon request. 890117 • r , Applicant : Jarrald A. Jamison Page 3 Aquifer : Laramie-Fox Hills Permit No. : 3 0$F d. Production is limited to the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer. The well must be constructed with plain, non-perforated casing properly grouted so as to prevent intermingling of water between aquifers. e. Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(9)(b) and the Denver Basin Rules, no more than 98% of the nontributary ground water withdrawn annually shall be consumed and the applicant shall demonstrate to the reason- able satisfaction of the State Engineer that no more than 98% of the water withdrawn will be consumed. f. The owner shall mark the well in a conspicuous place with appro- priate well permit numbers, name of the aquifer, and court case numbers. He shall take necessary means and precautions to preserve these markings. g. Use of this permit cancels permit No. 84494. Dated this CO-V\ day of 19 267 Aum.ia,u.o.c, 's .

SCOPE This report has been developed to provide Mr. Jarrald A. Jamison the owner of Tire Mountain, Inc . , an independent fire safety review of the proposed scrap tire landfill, located at 12311 Weld County Road 41 in Hudson, Colorado. The situation which prompted the concern about this facility was a fire involving a stockpile of used tires. In June , 1987 a fire involving approximately 2 million tires was started by a direct lightning strike at the facility. This report is intended to address the fire safety concerns of the owner , the local fire jurisdiction and the community . This review and evaluation will address the proposed site layout to develop an acceptable storage arrangement with respect to fire safety . This fire safety review is in conjunction with the perwitting and certification requirements from the Colorado Department of Health. This evaluation does not address the existing conditions with respect to the above ground tire storage . The scope of this evaluation was primarily directed at three issues. 1 . The spacing of the cells used for tire storage with respect to adjoining storage cells and the minimum required distance between the cells to prevent ignition of adjoining cells assuming a fire . 2. The need for separation/fire breaks within the individual cells to minimize the likelihood of total involvement within a single cell and the spacing of these fire breaks . 3. The proposed distance between the storage cells as they relate to the requirements for fire department operations and access . The analysis and subsequent recommendations are primarily intended to address the above issues. Other issues with respect to fire prevention, security , control of ignition sources, fire fighting, water supply, etc. were only briefly considered during this evaluation. However , it is recognized that all of these features collectively establish the overall fire safety of the facility. -2- 890107 II . REFERENCES : A.

INTRODUCTION Facilities which store scrap tires outdoors are not directly addressed in any nationally recognized fire codes. There is very little technical data published with regard to the combustion or combustibility of tires in outdoor locations. Due to the lack of published information, standards and criteria, recommendations have been developed based upon expertise in fire protection engineering along with back—up references from the limited code information data available relative to the protection of hazards . The following evaluation will address the adequacy of the fire lanes with regard to proper separation distance and fire lane access between the storage cells. The evaluation will also include recommendations to provide for safer operation and maintenance of the facility with respect to fire safety . These recommendations will address design, operations , maintenance and safety for the facility. Based upon the previously described scope this evaluation "is intended to : 1 . Determine if the proposed 50 foot separation between storage cells is adequate to limit the spread of fire. 2. Determine if it is necessary to reduce the size of the storage cells by providing fire breaks within each storage cell. 3. Assess the location and design of the proposed fire lanes with respect to providing for fire department access and sufficient area for the fire department to operate in. -5- 890107 V. ANALYSIS A. To determine whether or not the 50 foot separation distance proposed between storage cells is adequate, a set of calculations have been performed . These calculations will consider the surface of half of a storage cell being fully involved in fire and the effect it will have on the neighboring cells. The cells are considered to be divided in half by 50 foot wide earthen barriers. In order to mathematically describe the conditions which occur in a fire the characteristics of the fuel must be considered . The technical data for the combustion of rubber tires was not available from the customary fire protection reference sources. Consequently the analysis was based on the observed estimated flame height of 100 feet. This is from discussions with the Platteville fire department personnel and actual experience. This analysis will calculate the amount of heat that will be felt on a storage cell adjacent to one fully involved in fire. The result of this calculation will determine whether or not the 50 feet distance between storage cells will be sufficient to prevent ignition of neighboring storage cells. Calculations such as these are used in United Kingdom and by the hydrocarbon processing industry to determine safe distances between buildings or storage tanks in order to prevent the ignition of adjoining structures or processes from radiant heat. The calculations will determine how much heat energy is being radiated from a fire and the amount of heat energy being received at the adjacent storage cells. These results will be used to determine if the separation distance is adequate. All mathematical equations used are from "An Introduction to Fire Dynamics" . These calculations do not consider the effects of weather . The calculations also assume very high combustion efficiency with an adequate air supply to support combustion. In actual practice the fuel supply will be limited . -6- 890107 V.

From discussion with and reviewing the fire fighting apparatus and equipment of the Platteville Fire Protection District, there must be 18 feet distance to set up a truck to pump water and 15 feet to set up the portable tank and that leaves a 17 foot driving lane for tankers to use to fill the portable tank.

After reviewing the results of the calculations a heat flux of 7 . 22 KW/m1 is received at the edge of the adjoining storage cell. The radiant heat energy to ignite wood is 12. 5 KW/m 1' after prolonged exposure. Since the energy required to ignite rubber tires is not available a comparison to the ignition of wood was used . The chart in Figure 4 will give a better understanding of what the results of radiant heat energy are. The ignition temperature of wood after a prolonged exposure is 662 ° F. (From Fire Dynamics) The ignition temperature of rubber tires is 700 ° F (from Factory Mutual) . Due to the ignition temperature of rubber tires being somewhat higher than that of wood provides a greater safety factor with respect to possible ignition. The density of the materials also has an effect on the ease of ignition. Generally those materials with a greater density are harder to ignite. Since rubber tires have a greater density than wood the tires are not as likely to ignite as wood with a similar exposure . In comparing the radiant energy required to ignite combustibles, the ignition temperature and the density of the material indicate that the rubber tires will not ignite under the conditions evaluated . Consideration must also be given to the fact that 97% of the stored tires in the cells will be separated from other cells by a physical barrier of soil , 50 feet wide. The majority of heat being produced from the fire is directed vertically , dissipated in the air above the fire. Only 30 percent of the energy is radiated to the adjoining storage cell . -12- 890107 VI.

B. According to the calculation results, the size of the storage cells is required to be reduced in half from cell size proposed . This is due to fact that an entire cell being involved in fire will produce radiant heat energy greater than 14. 3 KW/m With the cells divided in half, radiant heat energy is reduced to 7. 22 KW/mt. C. The proposed width of the fire lanes (50 feet) will provide for reasonable and safe operations of the fire department during emergencies . —13- 890107 VII. RECOMMENDATIONS A. Storage Cell Separation Divide the storage cells in half with a 50 foot wide earthen barrier to reduce the size of the potential fire. Reducing the size of the individual storage cells, by providing an earthen separation at the middle, will be beneficial in several ways . It will provide for better access to the stored scrap tires for both, the facility operator and fire department. By reducing the amount of tires in each storage cell, will reduce the size of a fire which will reduce the probability of a fire spreading to adjoining storage cells . The size and construction of these separations should be similiar to that of the barriers between the storage cells. B. Fire Lanes The construction of the fire lanes between cells shall be able to support a weight of 50,000 pounds . Consideration must be given to fire apparatus operating while in a parked mode , within two feet of the edge of the fire lane and water spilling onto the roadway surface during fire fighting operations. These fire lanes must be kept unobstructed and driveable at all times of the year . C. Water Supply The irrigation wells for water supply sources will flow a sufficient amount of water to provide for exposure protection and limited containment purposes. They are located within reasonable proximity to the tire storage facility to provide application of water in a timely manner . -14- 890107 VII . RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT' D) D. Fire Fighting Procedures 1 . The primary means to extinguish a fire in a storage cell will be to smother it by piling dirt on top with equipment available at the site. This equipment must be maintained and kept in working order at all times. There must be , on site at all times, personnel capable of operating this equipment. 2. The following equipment must be readily available to mobilize in the event of a fire at Tire Mountain on an on-call basis . 1 -8 Yard Terex Loader 1 -3 Yard Fiat Allis Loader 1 -1 1/2 Yard Drop 50 Backhoe 1 -11 Yard John Deere Elevating Scraper 1 -D-8 Caterpillar Dozer 1 -D-7 Caterpillar Dozer 3 -18 Yard Caterpillar Scrapers 3. The secondary or back-up resources will be the local fire departments to assist with containment and exposure protection. 4. Hand held portable fire extinguishers of a minimum rating of 4A-40B-C should be kept on service equipment to provide for a means to put out a small fire quickly. All plant employees should be trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers. 5. A means must be to provided for immediate notification to the local fire department of a fire at the facility . This can be accomplished using the existing phone system. This should always be the first action prior to attempting fire control . -15- 890107 VII. RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT' D) E. Facility Fire Prevention 1 . Maintain the storage area so other combustible materials do not accumulate to create a hazard . 2. Vehicles should not be stored in the tire storage area so as not to create an exposure hazard. 3. At the present time, continuous monitoring of the site is provided . This must be maintained. 4. The facility management should designate an employee to be a facility emergency coordinator. This person should be familiar with all the fire safety requirements and procedures. In case of an emergency this person will be in charge of facility employees and coordinate fire suppression efforts with the fire department. -16- 89®197 VIII . CONCLUSION This review of the layout of the proposed facility, indicates that the design and layout of the storage cells is sufficient to prevent the spread of fire from radiant heat and allow for reasonable fire department access in cases of a fire emergency providing that all of the recommendation included in this report are implemented . The single -most important consideration is the capability to readily mobilize fire protection efforts with heavy equipment located on site . The other primary concern is fire prevention practices , which can be controlled through the operator of the facility. Although forces of nature cannot be completely prevented nor controlled , with the layout proposed a fire in one storage cell will not ignite an adjoining cell if immediate efforts are made towards fire control with on-site personnel. With both the fire department and the resources available to the facility operator , a fire in any of the storage cells can be contained and held under control until it is extinguished. The practice of reducing the size of the stockpiles and burying them below grade will provide for a more efficient and fire safe operation particularly when compared to the existing above ground storage . -17- 8901'1 IX.
