The inspection revealed several violations of Development Standards. I have enclosed a summary of the items that appear to be in violation of the foregoing 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, and 14 Standards. You are hereby requested to comply with the requirements of the Development • Standards within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply will result in our office scheduling a Probable Cause Hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. If the Board determines that there is sufficient probable cause to warrant further action, a Show Cause Hearing will be scheduled to consider revocation of the Use by Special Review Permit. _If you have information that may clear up this matter, please telephone or write. If you have no additional information, please let me know and I will schedule an appointment with you to discuss the procedures and requirements necessary to resolve this matter. I would recommend you call and schedule an appointment so that I may reserve a sufficient amount to time to discuss this matter with you. Respectfully, i‘e s v Current Planner Enclosures 890429 7 May 13 , 1-988 Mr. Keith Schuett Dept. of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, Co. 80631 Dear Mr. Schuett, After reviewing your letter in regards to the development standards of 2, 4 , 8 , 9 , 11 & 14 we will do everything possible to rectify the situation in which you are referring. In response to standard #2 of not being in compliance because of interior roads are not graveled is that the main road to our facility has an oil base with sand and gravel that was provided by Amoco Production approximately 2 1/2 years ago when they =frilled two wells adjoining our property. The only road used by the trucking companies is the entrance to our facility where they dispose at our pit. The other roads are the berms of ponds B , C & D and are not traveled hardly at all . Standard #4 is being answered & taken care of by a report from my ✓ engineering firm to the County Health Department. Standard #8 - We have never been questioned about having flagging devices on our lagoons for ducks because we have never had any problem with ducks being on our ponds and the Health Dept. does not feel that flagging will keep ducks away if they ever were a problem. If necessary, we will do whatever it takes to satisfy your department. Standard #9 - The freeboard allowance on our ponds does have a tendency at times to be beyond our 3 feet freeboard, but we are in the process of sending you a designed plan for a spraying system that hopefully will meet your approval . We will not be accepting anymore fluids in pond D until our freeboard is below its desired level . Standard #11 - Measuring devices are located in both ponds C & D. The reason you couldn' t read the level marks on pond D was because our monitoring pole was dirty and very hard to read. We will clean these poles or put up new ones , which ever is best. Standard #14 - Please specify as to what is meant by changes that have not been amended. 890429 We have been accepting small amounts of fluid from Slim' s Sanitation that -consists of -water and sand. This fluid is -compatible with what we have been receiving with our other fluids . If this is a problem we will refuse anymore fluids o₹ any kind from Slim' s Sanitation as of this letter. There has not been any dumping of fluids on the south end of our property since 1984 when we were taking all drilling mud and frac gel to that part of the property. We now put the mud in pond B and the frac gel goes in a tank and bled off before going into pond D to avoid oil residue. Please contact me as soon as possible after reviewing my letter -and any responses from your office will be taken care of immediately. Yours Truly, Howard C. Duckworth Weld County Disposal, Inc.
