Schuett Weld County Zoning Inspector Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Schuett: This letter is to document our phone conversation of this same date wherein we discussed the perimeter trees at Road 54 , E-VAP Park. As you noted, quite a number of the evergreen trees have turned brown from dry-freeze damage last winter. We now are irrigating them from the farmland irrigation system . however, and many brown trees are extending green growth. Mr. Gene Kammerzell of Arborland Nursery has ad- vised that trees with new growth will recover if continually irrigated and pruned. It is our plan to continue the irrigation , and tag all trees this fall that do not have such new growth. Next spring , all trees that do not show such signs of recovery will be replaced. Mr. Kammerzell has confirmed that re- placement trees must be planted early in the growing season for them to develop root growth , or they will not survive the winter season. If I may be of further assistance to you or your depart- ment, please contact me again at your convenience . It is our intention and plan to provide the County with a well - maintained , as well as expertly planned and constructed , facility. D eq gW7 Sincerely V E-VAP invited JUL 151985 GG Weld Co.

Odor Problems at E-Vap Park / USR 240:83:3 This department has received numerous complaints about an ongoing odor problem with the disposal facility. We have requested that the operator of the facility initiate an odor abatement program. They have started some treatment of the ponds using borate to control bacterial growth. In reviewing the development standards, I noticed that 7-J re- quires the aerator system be installed and operated. This system is not being operated and therefore, the facility is not in compliance with the development standards of the USR.

SchuetCiaget Zoning Inspector Enclosures AP, LIMITED 284-6983 10600 WELD COUNTY RD. 54 (303) Sc87x ® MILLIKEN, COLORADO 80543 March 26 , 1986 Mr. Keith A . Schuett Weld County Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley , CO 80631 Dear Mr. Schuett : In response to your letter of March 20 , 1986 , wherein you expressed concern that the aeration system at the E-VAP disposal site has not been in operation to date , please con- sider the following . 1 . The major reason for the aeration system being added to the Operating Standards was to assure sufficient evaporation and subsequent continued operational capacity of our site . Capacity has proven to be the least of our problems , in fact throughout the summer of 1985 , we pumped considerable irrigation water into the ponds to have sufficient coverage to protect the clay liners . Please note that Operational Standard 7G requires reinspection and certification of those liners if they are left dry for more than 30 days . Therefore , to operate our currently installed system as originally designed would now prove to be self-defeating , particularly if the volume of brine intake should continue to decline due to falling oil prices . The system was designed to spray water into the air from the top of each post that now supports the 4 or 6- inch supply line throughout our 17 acres of evaporation ponds . A slight modification of our system can accomplish the secondary function of aeration . 2 . The secondary function of the aeration system is to put additional oxygen into the water to assist in odor control . The first evidence of an unpleasant smell arose in late summer of 1985 . This was some nine months after our operations began . The cooler temperatures of fall and winter eliminated the gaseous activity in the ponds , and consequently any odors . We did however , have a complete study made by a microbiologist from Colorado State University . His recommendation was to first treat our ponds with a borate compound and later aerate the ponds for greater effectiveness of its odor-controlling qualities . The unusually early warming period this spring , and then inclement conditions did start the gaseous activity sooner than anticipated , and then made the spreading activity from a boat extremely difficult for a few days . We did complete Ov nl spread g KR 27 1986 C'� fsM 0� Ob.%twomitt. Schuett March 26 , 1986 Page 2 36 ,000 pounds of Borax last Saturday however , and the result is increasingly evident ! Any continued complaints from the neighborhood will be fermented by their original "sour grapes" and not by our ponds ! Our facility will always have an oil - field related scent , which should be understandable , but it has never been in violation nor been substantiated as being obnoxious . The Borax has "softened" the sulfur-type bite of the scent . We will continue to add Borax as a maintenance procedure , now that its effectiveness has become evident . To accelerate the control activity we do plan to operate the aeration system as shown on the enclosed drawings . This will utilize a great volume of air at low pressure . This air will be injected onto the concrete bases of each post on the currently installed system. The result will be aeration of the water with little additional evaporation . We are in the process of purchasing the required equip- ment and materials at this time . Complete aeration will be operational not later than April 30 , 1986 . If you have further questions , please contact me at 284-6983 anytime. We will consider this communication as a fulfillmentof your current requests in the absence of further contact.
