Morrison Planning Department representative, Keith Schuett The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that a public hearing was conducted to consider revocation of Special Use Permit #454, issued to Weld County Disposal , Inc. , c/o Howard Duckworth. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this matter of record. Mr. Morrison said this hearing was continued from May 10, and the installation of the aeration system is the issue under consideration. Keith Schuett, Planning Department representative, said that a recent inspection determined this facility to be in compliance with the areas identified in the Resolution of 'March 22. Robert Gehler, attorney for Weld County Disposal, Inc. , asked that this Show Cause Hearing be dismissed. He commented that a muffler has been installed to abate the noise of the aerator pump. Mr. Gehler asked that the restriction on the taking of water be lifted as long as the freeboard level is maintained. Mr. Schuett said the Health Department has concerns about how the aerator system is being operated. Wes Potter, of the Health Department, said a recent inspection by his department showed areas the facility needs to monitor closely to avoid compromising the berms. Tom Cope, of Total Engineering, explained the steps being taken to address the Health Department's concerns. Tim Trostel, a neighbor of this facility, asked questions about how the aerator system will be operated. (Tape Change #89-21) Mr. Cope explained the limitations on running the system. Commissioner Lacy moved to dismiss this Show Cause Hearing. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion. Concerning the lifting of the restriction of intake, Mr. Potter said evaporation will occur faster with the aerator system; therefore, the restriction could probably be lifted. Mr. Morrison advised that the restriction will automatically be lifted with the dismissal of this hearing. Commissioner Johnson urged the operators of this facility to comply with the freeboard regulations. The motion to dismiss this Show Cause Hearing carried unanimously. 890429 i,C, 0 &r.y 7 Page 2 SHOW CAUSE HEARING - WELD COUNTY DISPOSAL, INC.

At this time the facility was observed to be in violation of Section 30-20-102 Colorado Revised Statutes. 30-20-102 - UNLAWFUL TO OPERATE SITE AND FACILITY WITHOUT CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION - EXCEPTIONS. "(1) Any person who operates a solid wastes disposal site and facility in the unincorporated portion of any county shall first obtain a certificate of designation from the board of county commissioners of the county in which such site and facility is located." The operator had disposed of a liquid oil based waste material in an unauthorized pit on the south side of the property. This action is a violation of Section 1.3. 1 of the Solid Waste Regulations which states "No person shall operate a facility for solid waste disposal, where processing, treatment, or final disposal is performed, at a site located in the unincorporated portion of any county without a certificate of designation obtained from the commissioners of the county." A violation of Section 6.7 of the regulations was also observed. 6.7 states "Operation standards Operation of waste impoundments shall be in accordance with approved plans and the minimum standards of these regulations." An excessive layer of oil was observed to be on Pond C. Section 6.7.5 states "All impoundments operated as evaporative treatment or disposal- facilities shall be maintained as free as possible from oil or other surface scum." An excessive amount of spillage was observed around the receiving pit. This is a violation of Section 2. 1 which states "Minimum standards All facilities -for solid waste disposal shall comply with the following minimum standards of the act:" specifically Section 2. 1.4 which states "A site and facility operated as a sanitary landfill shall provide means of finally disposing of solid wastes on land in a manner to minimize nuisance conditions such as odors, windblown debris, insects, rodents, and smoke; shall provide compacted fill material ; shall provide adequate cover with suitable material and surface drainage designated to prevent ponding of water and wind erosion and prevent water and air pollution. . ." The above noted violations are considered to be significant problems with the operation of the facility.
