The feedlot is required to be in compliance with the State Water Quality Control Commission Rule's regarding control of water pollution from feedlots and livestock confinements. Therefore the owner of the feedlot is required todemonstrate that the feedlot is in compliance with the guidelines for design of feedlot runoff containment facilities. The N.P.D.E.S. Discharge Permit documentation, submitted with the referral, expired March 31, 1976 and is no longer a valid permit. The applicant is required to demonstrate the current method of disposal of effluent from the containment pond. Since a confinement pond is required to be part of the feedlot runoff containment facility, the applicant shall demonstrate how the feedlot will meet the requirements for a confinement pond on the feedlot property. The Division cannot recommend for approval of the proposal until the above conditions are met. WP317/cs Ot A r cc c-yw fmta-v c. . -e-o sv P N0V 2 7 1989 r !2.2.A • IYeld Ca.

I have included herein a soil conservation map with the colored areas indicating what is included in the acreage, along with the access. The acreage is app- roximately 21 acres. The property is located between two railroad tracks, and is west and south of Greeley approximately 12 miles. It has a capacity of 2 , 850 head, and was approved for a special review in 1972 and has been operated as such since that time. In the last couple of years after the death of my father, Ray Amen, we continued the operation. However, we find that it has become somewhat of an economic and physical burden to the balance of our farming operation and our lives in general. At this time, the decision to sell the feedlot was made. We simply want to sell the feedlot with the deeded access for the exact same use as it is now put to. I have enclosed a copy of my documentation concerning the existing waste pond, as used by the feedlot and our irrigated farming operation. Again, the usage of this feedlot is to remain exactly the same as it has since 1972 . However, the feeding operation and any • modifications after the sale will be solely the re- sponsibility of the purchaser. We will not transfer_ title to the pond, but will retain ownership with a usage agreement to allow the feedlot to utilize the pond as it has in the past. I would ask that Weld County allow this sale and to- continue the present usage.
