Directo .nvi t 1 Prntertinn • Subject: Roggen Feedlot On this date the staff inspected .the Roggen Feedlot, Special Use Permit #208 1 owned by Richard Hessee. The inspection was conducted to evaluate all aspects of the feedlot operation to assure compliance with both the development standards of the Special Use Permit and ' the Colorado Feedlot Run-off Containment Guidelines. The inspection revealed that the containment pond construction is completed and the pond is constructed as required and lined as necessary. All berths and ditches around the facility are in place. There is a large pump on the location capable of pumping 161 gallons per minute or better. • All construction is completed. At this time the Staff finds the Roggen Feedlot Facility Special Use Permit #208 to be in compliance with the development standards of the Special Use Permit and • all aspects of the Feedlot Run-off Containment Guidelines. The Environmental Protection Staff recommends that the show cause action initiated by Weld County against Roggen Feedlot, Incorporated be dropped since at this time the facility is in compliance with regulations. , WP/lf-864 • • I • 9t2.C S, • • RUNOFF WATER MANAGEMENT ,PLAN ROGCCN rcco LOT, INC. . • , c.;:,:NOVEMDER...c6,: -1991 Ht • - - M ODJCCTIVC: To Dpi ovde-• foi acceptable feedlot runoff - . contain.m.nt...and ,,disposal. , Pursuant ` to_thi's'subject, the following -prawL1ces •-wi l h:bo= enorci and s d . . . • - -- , .(1) Free-flow ,waterers will ' be •utiliz :an d d ` managed' so as not to detrimentally effect • • • the holding pond' s ability to contain ,runoff - . .4. .from the twenty—four •hour, twenty five- year - .' . at orm.:.

Michael C. Ketterling, P.E. . Norton, 'Underwood and Lamb, Incorporated 1020 28th Avenue - Suite 205 Greeley, Colorado 80631 =_ M' Dear Sir: ....--4 ..-.,7±7.-i ;s-si of :,, ..-T • The Staff has reviewed the proposal for the disposal.;of feedlot runoff effluent - and wastewater from the Roggen Feedlot Facility Special Use Permit #208 owned by;t:: Richard Hessee. The proposal provides documentation to demonstrate the capacity '- . of the runoff containment pond to handle both.the>twenty,,five,year„twenty-four^,, hour design storm capacity plus the additional 99,330 cubic.feetclof,-flow-through water from the livestock watering system, and ` the _winter precipitation. - accumulation at the facility. . The proposal provides for •the_ application of '... liquid effluents unto approximately 20 acres owned by.Mr. Hessee,at the feedlot ,,: - site on the north side of the-county road adjacent to the-office-building: .:The: liquid effluent will be- pumped from the containment .pond during -a- fifteen-day‘ ' disposal period at the rate of 161 gallons per minute and applied'at the rate of . • . 0.17 inches per acre per day. This amounts to an application depth of 2.6 inches - - of liquid applied over the entire twenty acre site in fifteen days. The Division approves of the proposal as submitted with the following conditions: '1. The operator_ of the. feedlot will demonstrate the• availability; of a pump . , capable of moving water at alminimum of 161 gallons per minute. This Pump• . . . will'be available to the feedlot at any time -it is needed. to move water from the pond over to the application/disposal site. At no time during - the pumping of effluent, will wastewater be discharged in a manner which facilitates a discharge of liquid waste flowing off from the property at any point. 2. The operator of the facility shall assure that the holding pond has sufficient capacity to hold in the runoff from a twenty-four hour, twenty- five year event at any time throughout the year. At no time will the pond- be allowed to overflow and discharge offsite. At no time will the pond have less than two feet of freeboard at any given time. rm-..,-.,nn rrTrnn ^r'I- r—r r - - II, Tirrl nn:I ' 1 -f•.i [I. 119 1i ii ilII ,.I. "III 1.

No waste water from the retention pond will be applied to saturated or^ 't:'''^ frozen ground at any time. - To accomplish the plan as proposed, the feedlot manager will be required to par a;3 ., particular attention to the level of water in the ponds at any given time "and-`t+ assure that proper management techniques are being employed to reduce the potential for violation of the Feedlot. Runoff Containment Regulations. It is the position of the Weld County Health Department Staff that this plan is a workable plan and we approve of it as stated. • Thank you very much for your timely consideration and response.
