C ffr mEm®RAn®urn vineTo Planning Department Date April 9, 1985 COLORADO From Wes Potter, Health Protection Services 114J Subject: 31 Disposal SUP 402 amended to SUP 427:80: 17 Recent field inspections and sampling at the disposal site and along WCR 31 to the west of the site indicate that the evaporation ponds may be leaking. An inspection of the facility revealed that the operators of the disposal site are in violation of development standards 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, and 14, as listed on the special use permit. I am, therefore, requesting that the department of planning staff evaluate these problems and consider scheduling a show-cause hearing before the Weld County Commissioners. /jbh lg o APR 0 91985 Weld Co.

CASE NUMBER: SUP-402 Amended to 427:80: 11 After reviewing the operation standards for 31 Disposal, I conducted an on—site inspection. Upon entering 31 Disposal, I met Mr. Jim Taylor, the operations manager who showed me around the premises. 31 Disposal is in need of an overhaul of the entire premises. After looking at the tanks I observed the settling ponds, Mr. Taylor admitted the settling ponds needed to be cleaned and I agreed. The netting protecting the settling ponds from wildlife, were actually touching the pond and had gaping holes in them. Mr. Taylor then showed me the evaporating ponds and the emergency pond. All of the ponds were very questionable as far as the quality of the bentonite and the protection it is supposed to serve. Hydro Search, Inc. is doing a study on the property as far as effectiveness of the evaporation ponds. There are 7 new ground water testing wells on the property. The result of the tests show that there is brine water in the ground water. There may be a question of the integrity of the bentonite liner in the evaporation ponds. This information was confirmed by the Weld County Health Department. In summing up my report, I determined that 31 disposal is in violation of development standards 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, and 14. I would highly recommend a total evaluation of the special use permit. Cliff Qssler Zonin Inspector SFr;: ��qq DATE: November 27, 1985 CASE NUMBER ZCH-7:85:7 I NAME: 31 Disposal C- P.O.

Lupton on Weld County Road 18 and 31. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services staff, that the following Standards as approved for SUP-427:80:17 are not in compliance: The Special Use Permit site was inspected on November 7, 1985. The inspection indicated that the brine water disposal is in violation of Development Standards 1, 3, 7, 11, and 14 of SUP-427:80: 17. The Special Use Permit standards in violation along with the staff comments are listed below. 1. The water and oil fluid recycling and disposal site granted by this Special Use Permit on the hereon described parcel is limited to the facilities hereon. - The brine water disposal facility was approved with specific standards for lining the main lagoon and emergency lagoon with bentonite. An inspection and ground water test by the Weld County Health Department on March 18, 1985, indicated that the bentonite liner has deteriorated to a state that seepage of brine water is occurring into the ground water. 3. All phases of the operation shall comply with all County and State health standards and regulations pertaining to air quality, water quality, noise emission, and sanitary disposal systems. - The groundwater tests completed by the Weld County Health Department in March of 1985, indicated that the ground water is being contaminated with brine water and is in violation of the Colorado ground water quality regulations. 7. Construction of the lagoons and bentonite blanket embankment shall be in accordance with the designs as shown on the Special Use permit plat. - The results from the groundwater tests indicated that the emergency lagoon and the main lagoon linings have deteriorated and are leaking. The present condition of the lining in both lagoons is not in accordance with the approved Special Use Permit. .ii n . 31 Disposal Probable Cause Hearing November 27, 1985 Page 2 11. The property owner and/or operator of this operation shall be responsible for complying with all of the above stated Development Standards. Noncompliance with any of the above stated Development Standards shall be reason for revocation of the Special Use permit by the Board of County Commissioners. 14. All pits, lagoons, and other excavations containing water at any time shall be lined with bentonite or other impervious material as per State and County Health Department guidelines to prevent seepage to the ground water. Ground water tests performed by the Weld County Health Department indicate that seepage from the bentonite lined lagoons is occurring and that the groundwater in the area is being contaminated with brine water. The Department of Planning Services staff recommends that the Board of 0J)1 1y4 County Commissioners schedule a "Show Cause" public hearing on DettA,cr-31, 1985, to consider revocation of SUP-427:80:17. This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the approved application materials for SUP-427:80:17, a field inspection of the site on November 7, 1985, along with comments and observations by the Weld County Health Department and information submitted by the owner and operator of 31 Disposal. INSPECTOR'S REPORT NAME: 31 Disposal LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY: Part of the W} of Section 22, T2N, R66W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. DATE: November 7, 1985 TIME: A.M. CASE NUMBER: ZCH-7:85:7 After allowing Mr. Rech the additional 56 days of time as granted by the Board of County Commissioners' resolution, to bring 31 Disposal into compliance, Wes Potter, of the Weld County Health Department and I inspected the property. Mr. Rech notified us that he voluntarily closed his operation on October 26, 1985. During the inspection we observed that no sign or gate prevented anyone from going to the site and that there appeared to be fresh tire tracks from a tanker truck on the access road. Mr. Potter and I observed that the north pond was filled with brine water. Previously this pond was drained and was to receive the first liner in order to repair the deteriorated liner. The lagoons have not been repaired as was the purpose of the 56 day extension. Mr. Potter and I both observed a receipt filled out by Flint Trucking that they delivered brine water on November 5, 1985. this receipt was observed in a shack where the haulers complete their delivery receipts. After these observations, we talked to Vicki Taylor who assists in the management of 31 Disposal. Mrs. Taylor stated that all of the haulers were notified by a letter that was mailed to them. Mrs. Taylor also stated that she was unaware of the delivery on November 5, 1985. Mr. Potter asked Mrs. Taylor to close and lock the gate that accesses to the disposal since they have voluntarily closed the facility. In conclusion, none of the work had been completed by Mr. Rech on the emergenc r main lagoons to correct the deteriorated liners. Cliff Raisler Zoning Inspector 31 Disposal P.0.8ox 224 Ft.

This information was confirmed by the Weld County Health Department. In summing up my report, I determined that 31 disposal is in violation of development standards 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, and 14. I would highly recommend a total evaluation of the special use permit.

Planning Commission Stan and Linda Rech 31 Water Disposal Service 1526 Weld County Rd. 18 Box 224' Ft. Lupton, Colorado 80621 Subject: Maintenance of Lagoon Liners at 31 Water Disposal Dear Stan and Linda: This letter outlines recommended lagoon liner maintenance activities at the 31 Water Disposal site near Ft. Lupton, Colorado. In order to ensure that the lagoon liners control seepage as required by your Use by Special Review permit, we recommend that the existing bentonite liners be covered by a flexible polymeric membrane liner. The synthetic membrane and the bentonite admix liner combine to form a "composite" liner that takes advantage of the positive features of each individual liner to provide a high degree of seepage control . The membrane liner controls seepage by virture of its very low permeability, while the bentonite restricts seepage at any small discontinuities that may exist in the membrane (e.g. , pinholes , small seam gaps, etc.) . Installation of the membrane liner will require drying out of the lagoons, dressing up the existing bentonite liner surface, placement and seaming of the membrane, and coverage of the membrane with 12 inches of on-site sandy soil . The soil on side slopes of the lagoons should be further protected by six inches of gravel . It may be necessary to excavate a perimeter trench around the east, north, and south sides of the lagoons to draw down the natural water table. Discing and recompaction of the lagoon bottom may be necessary to dry out the surface and prepare it for liner installation. Once free liquid is pumped from the lagoons , it may require one to two weeks of dry weather, plus discing, to dry out the bottoms. We suggest transferring brine from the north lagoon to the south lagoon, and working on the north lagoon first. Once the north lagoon is finished, brine can be transferred to the north lagoon, and any water remaining in the south lagoon will have to be allowed to evaporate. For this reason, you may wish to consider receivinging less brine during the repair period. The evaporation time required for the south lagoon will depend on the amount of water remaining after transfer of the maximum amount possible to 333 Flint Street • Reno.Nevada 89501 • (7021 322-4173 CA O Suite 101,210 Regency Court • Waukesha(Milwaukee),Wisconsin 53186 • 14141784-4588 l Stan and Linda Rech ( J14P. 31 Water Disposal Service June 25, 1985 Page 2 the north lagoon (with adequate freeboard) , and the subsequent rate of evaporation. Note that as the brine level decreases, total dissolved solids will increase, decreasing the rate of evaporation by about one percent for each one percent increase in salt content. In order to allow for the soil cover placed over the liner and provide two feet of freeboard with three feet of brine, the lagoon berms should be raised by about three feet. is as An approximate schedule for the work (subject to weather conditions) follows: o Continue draining of north lagoon, which should be complete by July 4, 1985. o Remove sludge and dry out bottom of north lagoon by July 18, 1985. o Build up b 1985.ermsand prepare north lagoon for liner installation by July 25 , o Install liner by July 31 , 1985. o Place soil cover over liner by August 7, 1985. • o Transfer water from south lagoon to north lagoon by August 17, 1985. o Dry out south lagoon by August 31 , 1985. o Build up berms s5 na d9nd prepare south lagoon for liner installation by September o Install liner by September 22, 1985. o Place soil cover over liner by October 7, 1985.

Work Covered The work covered by these specifications includes supply of all equipment, materials, and labor necessary to carry out the work; stripping, regrading, and compacting the interior of Lagoons 1 and 2; stripping vegetation and topsoil from the exterior slopes of Lagoons 1 and 2; raising the existing berms to the lines and grades shown on the drawings; prepara— tion . of the finished lagoon interiors for liner placement; excavation and backfill of the anchor trenches; placement of sand and gravel cover materials over the PVC liner; top— soiling and seeding the berm exterior slopes ; drying and piling any stripped material from the lagoon interiors into a regularly shaped mound, covering the mound with topsoil, and seeding the mound with grass. The work on Lagoon 2 (north lagoon) shall commence first. Lagoon 1 shall be drained and allowed to dry out when Lagoon 2 work is completed. However, work can commence on the exterior slopes of Lagoon 1 prior to completion of Lagoon 2 work- 2. Preparation of Lagoon Interiors The interiors of Lagoons 1 and 2 shall be prepared for installation of the PVC liners as shown on the drawings. Two options are available, as described below: iloissumma 8uiauel4 'o3 PIaM SQoI l^;( LiL:Pi[pi Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS GEOLOGISTS CFA-323'1 • 1531D 2.1 Option A The interior sideslopes and bottoms of the lagoons shall be dried, regraded to a uniform surface, and compacted to a minimum dry density of 90% of the Standard Proctor Dry Density (SPD) , using smooth drum compactors. It is antici— pated that, at a minimum, it will be necessary to work the material with light equipment on wide tracks, and to mix the muck and existing bentonite clay liner (see Section 2.2) with the subgrade material, e.g. , by discing, to promote drying. 2.2 Option B The lagoon interiors are currently lined with a bentonite liner approximately eight inches thick. The bentonite liner is highly plastic and wet. and is overlain by a few inches to a foot of oily muck. It may be very difficult to dry this material, particularly during rainy periods. Therefore, an option is to strip the bentonite and muck from the lagoons, and to dispose of the material outside the lagoons. Stripping shall not go below the bottom of the bentonite liner, in order to maintain the maximum height possible above the local ground-water table. The stripped interior of the lagoons shall be regraded to a smooth, uniform surface, as shown on the drawings . The regraded surface shall be compacted to a minimum dry density of 90% SPD, using smooth drum compactors. Stripped material shall be spread to dry on an area of the property that is on high ground, outside of any drainage channels or depressions that might collect water during rain • storms . The drying area shall be slightly sloping to promote drainage and shall be cleared of vegetation. A small ditch shall be excavated around the drying areas to collect -2- Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS GEOLOGISTS CF,% .:3 n 1531D surface run-off from the stripped material. Collected water shall be pumped into the lagoon currently in operation. The stripped material shall be allowed to dry to the extent that when mixed with no more than an equal volume of native soil. the material can be pushed into a stable mound with 3 (horizontal ) to 1 (vertical) sideslopes, of a maximum six-foot height. The material shall be pushed into a mound as soon as possible- covered with six inches of native topsoil, and seeded with native grasses. The surface of the mound shall be sloped at all points to promote run-off and prevent ponding of water on the surface. The two options for preparation of the lagoon interiors may be combined; that is, portions of the lagoon interiors may be disked and dried in place. such as on the sideslopes, and wetter areas may be stripped. However, the final regraded interiors of the lagoons shall be uniform, and the lagoon bottoms shall be level. 3. Raising of Berms The existing berms around Lagoons 1 and 2 shall be raised so that the final berm crests are six feet above the bottom elevations of the lagoons, as shown on the drawings. The present berm crests are approximately three feet above the bottom elevations of the lagoons. Therefore, if the lagoon interiors are prepared by the Option A method described in Section 2 .1 of these specifications, the berms will have to be raised approximately three feet. If Option B (Section 2.2) of the specifications is followed, then the lagoon bottoms will be lowered, and the berms will have to be raised by a lesser amount to achieve a six-foot overall depth. -3- Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS GEOLOGISTS 1531D The berms shall be raised to the dimensions shown on the drawings and according to the following specifications: 3.1 Stripping of Berm Exterior Slopes and Top Surface The exterior slopes of the berms and all areas to be covered by the final berms shall be stripped of vegetation and topsoil to remove the potential plane of weakness that this material would create if left in place. The vegetation shall be wasted on site in an area designated by the Owner, and topsoil shall be stockpiled for later use. The top ( road) surfaces of the berms shall be stripped of any vegetation, topsoil, or otherwise objectionable material. It is suspected that the road surface is underlain by bentonite. This material shall be stripped, as specified in Section 2.2 of the specifications, or reworked, as specified in Section 2 .1 , as required so that the surface can be compacted to a minimum dry density of 95% of SPD. Drainage ditches around the existing berms that will be covered by the final raised berms shall be cleaned of any vegetation, mud, and other soft, compressible materials. 3.2 Fill Material for Berm Construction The berms shall be raised using on-site native sandy fill, borrowed from high ground areas to the west of the lagoons. The fill shall be free of organics , topsoil, debris, mud, and snow. -4- Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS GEOLOGISTS CCA x,3,3 1531D 3.3 Fill Placement and Compaction Fill material used to raise the berms shall be placed in uniform, horizontal lifts of six inches maximum thickness . The fill shall be placed in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the berm, and shall be brought up at the same rate on all sides of the lagoons. Placed fill shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% of SPD using smooth drum vibratory compactors. Water shall be added to the fill as necessary to achieve the required level of compaction. Lagoon water shall not be used for this purpose. Fill material shall not be placed in a frozen state, and shall not be placed on a surface which is frozen or on snow or ice- 4. Final Preparation of Lagoon Interiors The final graded surfaces of the lagoon interiors shall be smooth. uniform, and free of gravel, large lumps of soil, sharp objects, and any sudden changes in grade. The lagoon interiors shall be prepared to these standards immediately prior to installation of the PVC liner by the Owner. The Contractor is cautioned that the surface may have to be re—worked to meet these standards if rain causes deteriora— tion of the surface before placement of the PVC liner. The Owner shall arrange to install the PVC liner the day after the lagoon interior is prepared to these standards. The Contractor shall wait until the Owner indicates he is ready to install the liner. —5— Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS-GEOLOGISTS 1531D 5. Anchor Trenches The Contractor shall excavate anchor trenches around the lagoon crests just prior to installation of the PVC liner, as snown on the drawings. Material excavated from the anchor trenches shall be stockpiled away from the lagoon sideslopes. Once the liner is installed, the Contractor shall backfill the anchor trenches, taking care not to damage the liner, and shall compact the anchor trench backfill with several passes by the wheel or track of the excavating equipment. 6. Soil Cover The Contractor shall place a sandy soil cover over the installed liner as shown on the drawings . The sandy soil used for the cover shall be borrowed on-site, and shall be free of gravel or other sharp objects. The sandy soil cover material shall be placed by light equipment on low-pressure tracks or tires. The cover shall be placed on the bottom of the lagoon first and then pushed up the sideslopes. Cover material shall not be placed in a downwards direction on the sideslopes, as this will adversely tension the liner. A minimum of 12 inches of cover material shall be maintained below the placement vehicle (s) . The placement vehicle (s) shall avoid sharp turns on the cover, as such turns may damage the liner - Access to the pond interior shall be on a ramp of cover material, built in a corner of the lagoon. The ramp shall be built from the bottom up using a backhoe to place the sand. The sandy soil cover shall be, in turn, covered by a six-inch depth of pit run gravel on the side- slopes, as shown on the drawings. • -6- Hydro-Search, Inc. Reno • Denver CONSULTING HYDROLOGISTS GEOLOGISTS 1531D 7. Topsoil and Seed The exterior slopes of the finished berms shall be covered with four to six inches of topsoil obtained from the stock— piles and shall be seeded with native grasses. 8. Observation and Testing The work covered by the specifications shall be observed by a representative of the Owner on a periodic basis. If it is observed that these specifications are not being met, the representative shall inform the Owner and Contractor, and the Contractor shall act to bring the work within the specifications. This shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that his work meets these specifications. Observations made by the Owner 's representative may include field density tests to determine whether tested areas are compacted to the standards of these specifications. The Contractor shall adjust his compaction procedure as necessary to meet the compaction requirements. The Contractor shall be provided with the results of Standard Proctor tests for the materials subject to compaction as soon as possible after work commences. -7- Hydro-Search, Inc.
