the following present:

Commissioner Lordon E. Lacy, Pro-Tem
Commissioner lene Brantner - Excused

Commissioner prank Yamaguchi
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Mary Reiff
Assistant County -Attorney, Lee D. Morrison
Planning Department representative, Debbie de Besche
Health Department representative, Wes -Potter
Shorthand reporter, Valerie Antuna
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated March 10, 1386, and
duly published March 13, 1986, in the Johnstown Breeze, a public
hearing was -conducted to consider the -request of Stanley L. -tech for a
Use by Spacial -Review for a crude oil recovery site. Lee Morrison,
Assistant County -Attorney, made this matter of -record. Debbie
de Be-ache, Planning Department representative, read the recommendation
of the Planning Commission -into the record. Eta explained that the
motion to recommend -approval resulted in a tie vote, Mhich constituted
a recommendation of denial. She stated that 14 -Development Standards
were associated -with this application. Stan Rech, the applicant, came
forward and stated that he is asking to recover and -store oil from frac
tanks and tank bottoms, with all -water to be hauled away. Wes Potter,
representing the Health-Department, presented information regarding the
proposed operation. -Robert Gebler, attorney representing Weld County
Disposal, and Howard Duckworth, owner of Weld County Disposal,
presented arguments opposing this request. They expressed concerns
about the disposition of the brine water which will be associated with
this type of operation. Gary Hladky, an adjacent property owner,
stated that he feels that his farm property has been -damaged by the
operation which Mr. Rech presently has at this location, and presented
a petition (Exhibit I) containing 61 signatures in opposition to this
request. Others who came forward to state their opposition included:
Gary Hladky, Jr. ; Dennis Mintle; Catherine Sprague; (Tape Change
#86-21) Michael Bangert and Yaul Schmidt. In response to this
opposition, Mr. Rech stated that the oil will be contained in tanks and
only two or three trucks per month -will use the facility. At this
time, the Commissioners requested an executive session to consult -with
the Assistant County Attorney regarding certain legal matters. (Let
the record reflect that a five minute executive session -was held.)
Upon reconvening, Chairman Johnson stated that the Commissioners -were
advised that they can consider the applicant's ability to meet the
Development Standards, in the light of the history of his existing
Special Use Permit. Commissioner Lacy -moved to deny the Use by Special
-Review. -He stated that the proposed Development Standards would
adequately control the operation; however, -he is not sure there -was
compliance with the previous Operation Standards, and questions whether
there -would be compliance with these. Commissioner Lacy -also stated
that the proposal has not been adequately -explained to make him feel
comfortable with the proposed operation. Commissioner Kirby seconded
the motion, Commenting that the applicant has not demonstrated
:compliance in his previous operation. On a roll call vote, the motion
to deny the Use by Special Review carried with all Commissioners
present voting aye.

Re: Case No. USR-720:85:68 (Applicant-Stanley L. Rech)
Dear Commissioners:
This letter is written on behalf of Roggen Disposal and Weld
County Disposal in regard to the above referenced case.
Your records will reflect that both Weld County Disposal and
Roggen Disposal have been issued special permits by your Board to
permit separation of brine water and waste products from oil delivered
to the respective facilities. At considerable expense and with strict
conditions imposed by Weld County, the disposal of the brine water and
waste by-products has been properly handled without danger of
contamination.
In the above referenced case, you are being requested to issue a
permit which would allow the applicant to receive oil without
provision or control for its offsite separation from the brine water
and other solid waste by-products.
At the Planning Commission Hearing , it was stated by the
applicant that he intended to have the oil and water solution hauled
to a facility such as Weld County Disposal and then bleed off the
water and take the remaining oil to the applicant ' s facility. The
problem with that explanation is that no commitments or arrangements
have been made with Weld County Disposal or any other similar facility
to receive the water and further, there is no way that all of the
water and waste by-products can be removed from the oil in that
manner. Therefore, the applicant jag to have adequate facilities to
handle disposal of the brine water and solid waste by-products that
are removed from the oil.
Board of County Commissioners
of Weld County
March 3L 1986
Page Two
Your records will show that the applicant, while operating as 31
Disposal, does not have a good historical record for properly
disposing of contaminents. In fact, your records will reflect that
his permit was revoked in October of 1985 because of a failure to
properly dispose of contaminents.
It is requested that the Commissioners consider the following
objections to the application in the above referenced case:
1. Inadequate plans for disposal of brine water and solid
waste by-products removed from the oil.
2. Inadequate plans for fire protection.
3. Inadequate plans for traffic control and maintenance of
roads necessary for truck traffic to accomodate the proposed
operation.
4 . Incompatibility of the proposed use with the
surrounding area, especially in view of the residential areas in close
proximity to the subject property.
Based upon the above objections, it is requested that the Board
of County Commissioners deny the applicant in this case.
Very truly yours,

Your application for a Use by Special Review for a crude oil recovery site
has been recommended unfavorably to the Board of County Commissioners by the
Planning Commission. The legal description of the property involved is
shown as part of the W} SW} Section 22, Township 2 North, Range 66 West of
the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado.
If you wish to be heard by the Board of County Commissioners, it will be
necessary for you to indicate your request by signing the bottom of this
letter and returning it to this office. Regular hearing procedures will
then be followed. This includes publishing a Notice of Hearing in the legal
newspaper, an expense to be paid by you.
In order to proceed as quickly as possible, we must receive your reply by

matter will be considered closed.

Commissi-on held on February 4, 1986, was approved as distributed.
CASE NUMBER: USR-720:85:68 (continued from February 4, 1986)
APPLICANT: Stanley L. Rech
REQUEST: Use by Special Review permit for a _.rude oil recovery site.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the W} SW} , Section 22, T2N, R66W of the 6th
P.M. , Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: Approximately 1.75 miles north of Ft. Lupton; east of Weld County
Road 31 and north of Weld County Road 18.
APPEARANCE:
Stanley L. Rech, property owner and applicant, reported he wants to leave
his tanks where they are. The tanks on the property resemble a tank battery
and have been at this site for approximately ten years. He will not be
using any water nor will he need any evaporative ponds. Trucks take waste
water from the well sites to a disposal site, drain off the water, and
deliver the condensate to him. He reclaims the oil, and the sediment from
the tanks is pumped out and hauled off to a disposal site or to Oklahoma
where it is used to drill wells. He will only reclaim approximately two
thousand five hundred barrels of oil per month. There will be no increase
in traffic. The ponds on the property will be dried up and no longer used.
There will be no open unloading of the waste material from which he reclaims
his oil because this is pumped into the tanks. iT

Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission
February 18, 1986
Page 2
The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience.
Gary Latke, Sr. , surrounding property owner, asked the Planning Commission
to deny this request because of the damages done to their farm by the
previous operation.
Wes Potter, Director, Environmental Health Services, stated recommendations
to Mr. Rech at the time he installed the evaporative ponds did recommend he
install -a leach field. There are two ponds on the west side of the farm.
Most of the wells in this area are not shallow so they should not be
contaminated with chlorides that may have leached from the ponds. Also, it
will take approximately six months for the ponds to be dry enough to be
reclaimed.
Vicki Taylor, Mr. Rech's daughter, stated she and her husband ran this
disposal site for three years and there was a problem with trucks dumping
brine water in the barrow pits, etc. , instead of the disposal ponds.
Robert Gehler, Attorney, representing Roggen and Weld County Disposal,
stated his clients are in opposition to this request because they are not
familiar enough with this process. They wanted to be sure waste water was
properly disposed of.
Tape 232 — Side 2
Gloria Dunn reported the Fort Lupton Fire Prevention District did not
respond to a referral mailed to them.
MOTION:
Paulette Weaver moved Development Standard #2 be amended to read as follows:
2. "A licensed engineer shall approve the design and
specifications of the crude oil recovery facility. Upon
completion of the balance of construction, the applicant
shall provide a letter from the engineer certifying that the
design, materials, construction, and operation of the
facility comply with the approved design and specifications.
The certified letter shall be submitted prior to beginning
the Use by Special Review operation."
Motion seconded by Ann Garrison.

The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed.
The Chairman asked the members of the Planning Commission for their
decision. Motion carried unanimously.
The Chairman asked Gloria Dunn to read the recommendations, conditions, and
Development Standards as outlined by the Department of Planning Services
staff and amended by the Planning Commission into the record.
The Chairman asked Mr. Rech if he had any objections to any of the
recommendations, conditions, and Development Standards as outlined by the
Department of Planning Services staff and amended by the Planning
Commission. He had no objections.
MOTION:
Lydia Dunbar moved Case Number USR-720:85:68 for Stanley L. Rech for a Use
by Special Review permit for a crude oil recovery site be forwarded to the
Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation
for approval based upon the recommendations and conditions as outlined by
the Department of Planning Services staff, the Development Standards as
outlined by the staff and amended by the Planning Commission, and the
testimony of the applicant. Motion seconded by Don Johnson.
The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed.
The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning
Commission for their decision. Don Johnson - yes; Lynn Brown - yes; Doug
Graff - No, primarily because he is not convinced all concerns regarding the
safety, health, and welfare of the neighborhood and vicinity have been
adequately answered. He is not convinced that the water table could perhaps
be contaminated. Also, he is not sure about the material being hauled in
for processing. Lydia Dunbar - yes; Louis Rademacher - yes; Ann
Garrison - No; Paulette Weaver - No; Jack Holman - No, he partially agrees
with Doug Graff, though he feels if this facility were run the way it is
proposed here it would be a clean-up in comparison to what has been done in
the past, but with the problems we have had with this operation in the past
there is a potential for problems in the future. Motion is a tie vote with
four voting for the motion and four voting against the motion. A tie vote
constitutes a recommendation for denial.

RE: Case Number USR-720:85:68
Stanley L. Rech
Dear Ms. Dunn:
We oppose this filing. Should it be approved we believe certain conditions
should be attached.
A small berm, three foot high with a four foot top should be built around
this proposed facility. The soil should be sealed to prevent seepage. This
would contain any possible oil spills and reduce the possiblity of contamina-
ting the soil of the surrounding area. Any disturbed soil outside the berm
that is not already contaminated should be seeded to adapted grasses. This
would help to reduce the erosion possibility.
Sincerely,

RE: USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW FOR STANLEY RECH (USR 720:85:68)
Dear Ms. Dunn:
At the January 14, 1986 regular meeting of the Fort Lupton Planning Commission,
the Use by Special Review for Stanley Rech was considered. The Commission
heard statements from Mr. Gary Tadkey and Robert McPeek regarding the damage
of surrounding properties from a similar operation at the same location by
the same operator. The Commission questioned the statement in the applica-
tion that the project was consistent with agricultural use and the impacts
of truck traffic on county roads.
The Commission voted to recommend denial to the Weld County Planning Commission
for the above stated reasons.
Sincerely,
< (L • ,:r
