WHAli Harry D.Strohauer Strohauer Farms, Inc. 19573 Weld County 04.S0 (303)284-6526 or 284-5416 La Sa11e,CO 80645 • • April 5, 1994 Dear Commissioner Webster; I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the meeting on April 6th, but I thought I would share some of my views on the matter. We farm approximately 2000 acres in the LaSalle, Peckam and west Kersey area. Our crops consist of pototoes, onions, corn, lettuce, beans, and wheat. As you can see, some of these crops are high dollar & high maintenance crops. There are 53 gas wells currently on this ground that I must farm around. The oil companies involved are Snyder, Basin, Elk, Gerrity, & Prima. I do not deny that oil companies have the right to drill and maintain operations. Most of the landowners in this area have leased out the ground to the oil companies, and thus gave them the right to drill. Unfortunately, this right has been abused in many cases. Most of the ground I farm is leased and not owned by myself, and I have 16 different land-owners that I farm for. I own 160 acres with 4 wells on it. I understand that it is not the oil companies fault if a land-owner chooses not to pay me any damages. If I suffer damages from the normal & well maintained drilling operations on leased land, that is between myself and the land owner. Let me share a couple of the problems that our operations have encountered and the companies involved. Time does not alow me to list all of the problems I have encountered. 1. All the above companies are guilty of digging too big of pits and doing a poor job of getting the mud out. Prima has done a great job on the last couple of wells drilled on our land. They have sized down there pits and have scooped all the mud out. Basin also sized down a pit this past winter but did not go into detail to get all the mud out. The smaller sized pits should have been used years ago. Gerrity recently bought two Martin wells that we farm around. I asked Gerrity to come in and dig up a pit that Martin closed in with a lot of mud still in it. We could not grow any crops on the pit area in the years since Martin had closed this pit. After six months of communications with Gerrity, this January they redug the pit and put it back to where we hope it will work better. I have heard many horror stories about Gerrity, but in this encounter they worked with me well. 2. Snyder has been one of the better companies to work with, but not without problems. My complaints with Snyder are for one, the drilling and opening of many pits in the winter. They need to do a better job of closing pits as soon as possible and as weather allows. The combination of smaller pits and partial closing immediately after drilling, with final reclamation in early spring after the frost is out, would help solve this problem. They also need to do a better job of weed control around there sites. 9 4 33( ; HG; ('A ; Page 2 3. This past January we rented ground that Elk has the lease on. The owner is a recently widowed lady that wanted me to help her deal with the three (3) oil companies that have the lease on the minerals. Elk initially refused to talk or meet with me on work to be done on exisiting wells. Colleen Nealy of Elk informed me that it was Elks policy to deal only with the land-owners and not the tenant_ Due to this, there has been some confusion between myself and the land-owner on work being done by Elk. I think Elk has taken advantage of the lack of knowledge of the land-owner in these matters as they pertain to the farming. Because of this, the communication was not there and Elk last week started moving in equipment within 100 yards of a moving sprinkler running dry. I must say that all the companies mentioned on the first page, with the exception of Elk, have been very good in keeping me informed. Though sometimes we have different views, the open line of communication has helped each side greatly. How can I work with someone that will not meet with me, such as Elk? I apoligize for the length of this letter but I thought it was important to share some of my views. The oil companies are sending out letters telling us how many changes they have made and what a good job they are doing. I do not deny that many of the companies have made substantial improvements_ The problem is that it has had to come to these measures to force the oil companies to do these things_ I do believe that without the efforts of Front Range Land and Mineral Owners Association and other concerned and hard working people, that many of these changes would have never been put onto effect. In any business, every year there are new and better ways of doing things. I have heard the excuse many times that this is the way we have always done it. If I farmed the way I did 10 years ago, I would be out of business. The oil companies need to constantly search out ways of doing a better and more efficient job that will least damage the environment and farm land. In conclusion, I understand the important role that the oil and gas industry plays in this area. They employ many people and the taxes that they pay are a boost to our local economy, but ag is also a very important part of the local economy. Each side is here and we must get along. I think the oil companies have made progress, but there is much more that can be done. I feel that if we let up now, things will go back to where we started. I encourage you to pass legislation that will encourage the oil companies to continue to strive for the best way of doing operations and effect ag and environment the least. None of my requests are so radical that it would not allow the well run companies to enjoy a profit. Thank You for your consideration in this matter.

I understand that if implemented, it is possible we may never receive royalties on minerals to which we are now entitled. Living in the state of California , I urge you to delete these proposed regulations, as it is this type of government regulation which has brought the state of California to economic disaster . Because of government regulations, practically all building and development has stopped, leaving behind bankrupt businesses , high unemployment and less tax monies into government coffers . Where the state had a balanced budget in 1980 , we are facing economic disaster on all fronts , as you have, no doubt read about in the newspapers . Therefore, I urge you for the good of the future of the state of Colorado, and for the value of the oil and gas income to the local community and to ourselves personally, to drop the proposed regulations .

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Commissioners: I am writing as an employee of Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation to express my concern about the proposed Weld County oil and gas regulation. Adoption of this burdensome regulation is completely unnecessary, particularly when the county already has the right to participate in oil and gas regulation through its local government designee. In addition, Senate Bill 177, negotiated with county input, will further expand the regulation of the industry by the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, including the hiring of nine new employees. And, under that bill, the county may arrange to be involved in the inspection of oil and gas facilities and monitoring for compliance with Commission rules. Therefore, the proposed regulation is inappropriate and unnecessary. As an individual that makes my living in the oil industry, I am also concerned about my job security and the impact these regulations could have on the quality of life in Weld County. These regulations are clearly burdensome and will negatively impact the business of the company that I work for. I fear that this will result in lost jobs. This will also have an impact on the tax revenues for the county and will either hurt the school system or drive up taxes to offset the loss from the oil industry. Please reconsider going any further with this ill-advised regulatory proposal. My job and the county's tax base are at stake. Thank you for your consideration.

O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 ATTN: Clerk of the Board Dear Weld County Clerk & Commissioners , Thank you for sending a copy of the proposals to be discussed at the hearing on April 6 regarding oil & Gas Regulations . I have read them over thoroughly and agree that the landowner should he protected from having their land , crops and livestock harmed by a drilling company that may be careless in their drilling and clean up. This proposed ordinance seems to over regulate the drillers , and could possibly make it unfeasible for them to drill in Weld County . 1 do feel that there could be some sort of compromise , so that the oil and gas drillers can go in and drill in a respectful manner and the landowner could protect his property at the same time . As a Royalty Recipient , we could all benefit from the oil and gas that should be put to good use , if it is there . The drillers should be able to do their work and help with our economy. At the same time , we could enjoy some extra funds in our retirement years and be able to pass it on to our heirs. The property that we have the mineral rights , was homesteaded by my grandfather . My father and I both were born there, so we do have a lot of interest in what can be gained in operations for all concerned. In conclusion, I feel that more consideration should be given t0 this proposed regulation to equally balance the protection of the landowner and the need to drill on properties in Weld County.

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80532 Dear Commissioners: While we do not understand the proposed Weld County Regulations concerning the oil .and gas industry in Weld County, We do know they are causing much concern with our oil and gas corporate base accounts, therefore it is our concern as well. It is on their behalf that I write to you today. We enjoy a solid business relationship with. many of the companies in the oil and gas industry, we have had the honor of their business for years and hope to continue well into the 'future. Last year alone their companies 'have generated $250.000.00 in guest room sales for the Heritage Inn . . This is a, tax base of $22,500.00, 3% or $7500.00 stayed in the city of Evans in the form of a bed. tax: This also translates as 5000 hours, of employment, although these . are entry level jobs paying a minimum wage it still is $22,500.00 that stayed in Weld County. • It is important to note our guests dollars are. also spent on food,, entertainment, liquor, retail and gasoline. If the gas and oil business is lost in Weld County or even if it is delayed, it would basically destroy our business, this hotel would no longer be profitable. We count on this corporate base as one third of our business. Each of the major hotels in Greeley have experienced a bankruptcy in the not too distant past, we are 311 doing well at this time, however we are facing three new hotels on our doorstep, adding 150 new guest rooms in this area. These new rooms will help during the busy summer seasons, but we will be competing over the same ten occupied rooms in the winter. If we lose our corporate foundation in any degree, we will lose any stability that we have now. The result will be employee layoffs, a decrease in taxee, .a reduction in real estate taxes, a reduction in spending and higher unemployment. We are asking you to find solutions to your common problems by working with them not against the industry. To keep, the oil and gas industry alive and well in Weld County will benifit everyone in Weld County.

I understand that at your meeting scheduled for April 6, 1994,you will be considering additional regulations on oil and gas development and production in Weld County. I will not be able to attend that meeting,but I wish to express my concern over these new regulations. I understand that SOCO has been very cooperative with the Colorado Oil&Gas Association and has followed all pertinent rules and regulations. I am opposed to any further regulations on the SOCO operations,because these will almost certainly jeopardize the small royalty income I am now receiving to supplement my retirement income. I also speak for the other devisees of the Estate. Please also consider the adverse effect on the economy of Weld County if your actions force a cutback in the current oil and gas operations there. I also feel that too many restrictions on the production of oil and gas in the United States are not in our national interest,and I hope you will consider these broader ramifications of your actions.

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 10632 Dear As Harbert; It has come to my attention that t' ere is a proposal on your agenda (DTD 3/3/94) , which, if adopted, could very well curtail, if not shut down all oil and natural gas production in Weld. County. I am a widow, born in Colorado, and I do receive a small royalty from Elk Exploration. This is from oll and natural gas found on what used to be my husband' s and .-ray farm. Elk Exploration is a meraber of the Colorado Oil and Gas Associates. According to their Code of Conduct, they are assiduously maintaining responsible 9nd safe development of the oil and natural ryas deposits. If DTD 3/3/94 is passed by your council me..tbers, it will pose a financial hardship for one, as well as considerably lessen the tax income Weld. County has been er joyin.g from this project. The result, of course, will mean that higher taxes will have to be imposed in order to .l iintain county services. I strongly urge you to vote against this DTD 3/3/94 at your hearing next week.

Box 758 • Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Bill: Enclosed is a copy of a letter recently sent out by Snyder Oil Corporation to royalty recipients stating Snyder Oil's position relative to your regulation con- siderations. I would like to comment on various facets of their letter to illus- trate and organize my thoughts and suggestions relative to your contemplated action. #1 "Establishing a landowners help line," etc. My thought--a good public relation effort, but not very effective when conducted in their office, on their terms. An impartial mediator system might be helpful. #2 "Conducting regular landowner meetings," etc. Again, a commendable idea, but arranged at their site--at their time. And usually dominated by their speakers selling their viewpoints. #3 "Working closely with the Colorado Oil and Gas Association" etc. FACT--the State Oil and Gas Association is structured to facilitate and help the oil industry. The Governor's recent appointment of a commis- sioner with an agricultural background is a token gesture. Johnson will probably be very frustrated in his attempts to change or work with the commission. #4 "Supporting reasonable and responsible legislation which increases the authority," etc. Again, wrong idea--the Commission and Colorado State legislature, have consistently leaned toward the oil industry. Your actions at the county level is our only hope to allow Weld County proper- ty owners and agricultural producers to be represented, and have their property interests protected. #5, 6, & 7 Snyder Oil is attempting to turn around and improve on their poor reputation in the county. But they continue to talk and not act. Right now our Bigfoot Turf Farm has had to engage an attorney, at what will ultimately be considerable expense, to delay or stop a new Basin Oil well, pro- posed to be drilled right in the middle of one of our most productive bluegrass sod fields. Can you imagine the reaction of the City of Greeley if an oil com- pany attempted to drill in the middle of a Highland Hills or Boomerang golf course fairway--or the reaction of the Greeley Country Club to such an attempt? CC_.- i i gz . wz e4iLte -ice ''419 "'t9�v. Commissioner Bill Webster April 4, 1994 Page 2 The results of drilling on our sod farm is no less devastating. And, yet there has been no real attempt on the part of Basin Oil to negotiate a solution. So, I urge you, Bill, to go ahead with your contemplated regulations, and make them firm. I, and a vast majority of the community, stand solidly behind you in this action. Sine rely, H.

As you know, over the past three years, Snyder Oil Corporation ("SOCO") has been conducting a very active development drilling program in Weld County, Colorado. During this period, SOCO has increased its commitment to not only being the best oil and gas operator in Weld County, but also to being the best possible corporate citizen in Weld County and other communities where SOCO has operations. In this regard, SOCO has been a pioneer in establishing and promoting the following: • Establishing a landowner's "help line" at SOCO's Evans office (303-339-1794); • Conducting regular landowner meetings which continue to encourage communication with both mineral owners and surface owners; • Working closely with the Colorado Oil and Gas Association ("COGA") to establish a code of conduct; • Supporting reasonable and responsible legislation which increases the authority, effectiveness, and enforcement capability of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission; • Thoroughly training both SOCO employees and subcontractors to consistently recognize and consider the concerns of both surface and mineral owners; • Investing significant dollars to experiment with leading edge technology which will mitigate the impact of SOCO operations on the lands as well as increase SOCO's efficiency; and • Establishing and maintaining throughout SOCO a keen awareness of the competing property interests within Weld County by fostering a continual focus to respect both the surface and mineral owners' rights in relation to our operations. In spite of these genuine efforts, SOCO continually faces additional layers of government regulation that hamper the ability to profitably produce oil and gas — natural resources which are critical elements of the United States energy independence. Most recently, proposed amendments to Weld County's zoning ordinances and building codes represent 94333a Royalty Recipients March 21, 1994 Page Two regulations which we believe will substantially restrict SOCO's ability to continue its development in Weld County. THESE REGULATIONS AFFECT YOU. If adopted in its proposed form, they could result in shutting-in certain SOCO wells. Further, if you are entitled to royalties on minerals which have not yet been drilled and produced, it is possible you may never receive such royalties, due to the adverse economic impact these regulations pose on SOCO's development program. The proposed regulations both duplicate and exceed the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission Rules and Regulations and attempt to control every phase of oil and gas development in Weld County. They also will require a "special use permit" for every single well drilled in the county. As a SOCO royalty owner, we urge you to obtain a copy of these proposed regulations and investigate their possible effect on you. We respectfully request that you call or write all of the Weld County Commissioners and strongly object to these regulations in their proposed form. We encourage you to remind the Commissioners of the value of the oil and gas income not only to the local community but also to you personally. The Weld County Commissioners have scheduled an informal hearing on April 4 1994, at 7p.m., in the Commissioners Meeting Room of the Centennial Building at 915 10th Street in Greeley. It is critical that you notify the Commissioners of your objections in advance and also make every effort to attend. Weld County Commissioners may he reached at (303) 156-4000, extension 4200 or at the Weld County Courthouse, P.O. Box 758, Greeley, Colorado 80632. The Commksioners are George Baxter, Dale Hall, Connie Harbert, Barbara Kirkmeyer, and Bill Webster. We appreciate your support and the confidence which you have placed in us, and will continue to make every effort to live up to your expectations in the future.

Dear Sirs : It has been brought to my attention that you are presently considering "Weld County Oil and Gas Regulations" (DTD 3/3/94) and I wish to register my strongest objection to the same . I am also a taxpayer on real property within Weld County and as such do not desire that these real property taxes be increased which will be a n end result if you pass this proposal . Such action would also tend to deprive me of income since same would seriously curtail both development and production of oil and gas within your County and I also have sundry overriding royalty interests . Your attempts would appear to the undersigned to be a duplication of the State Oil and Gas Conservation Commission but without t he staff, resources or expertise to handle the load. I strongly request your negative vote on this matter. Yours very truly, D. L. Percell . • • 941339 April 1, 1994 Mr. Bill Webster, Commissioner Weld County Court House P. O. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado, 80632 Dear Mr. Webster: I am 94 years old and inherited my interest in our Weld County farm from my mother and my aunt who inherited it from their father, an early Boulder and Weld County settler. I am disturbed to hear of the proposals to increase the burden on property owners and the oil and gas companies. I urge you to consider the consequences if the burdens drive the industry out of Weld County. The industry is quite well regulated on the State level and the proposed duplication on the county level will only increase the costs to the county and the property owners and the industry. If the county should lose the revenue at the same time the proposed regulations increase the cost - the only choice would be to raise taxes. The taxes are already too high to make our farming operation profitable. I am unable to attend the public hearing on April 6, 1994 but want you to know how strongly I object to your proposed regulations Sincerely, r / ')j ..Qt0 Josephine H.

We wish to strenously object to implementation of these regulations. As an overriding royalty owner under wells and undeveloped lands in Weld County, these regulations would have a negative impact on us. The revenue from existing wells may be reduced and future development of oil and gas may be curtailed due to the onerous changes to the County zoning ordinances and building codes. On a broader level, the curtailment of production and reduction in oil and gas activity will have a negative impact on Weld County. The oil and gas industry is a major contributor to the County's property tax base and this contribution would be hard to replace. The end result could be a reduction in the basic services the County can provide to its citizens. We urge the County Commissioners to defer implementation of any new oil and gas regulations until there has been input from the oil and gas industry and the full economic impact has been analyzed and is understood.

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Dear Commissioner: I strongly object to the proposed amendments to the Weld County zoning ordinance and building code "Weld County Oil and Gas Regulations" (DTD 3/3/94) . I am retired, and as I live on a limited income, I depend on the income I receive from this property. I pay taxes to the State of Colorado on the income I receive from this industry even though I no longer live in Colorado or benefit from the services of the taxes I pay there. I am sure you are aware that if the tax base disappears on the contributions this industry provides to the County it will jeopardize the ability of the County to maintain its current services. As a result, if these services are to continue, higher taxes from other sources will be needed. Since this is the only income I receive in the State, it will not only hurt my standard of living, but will also bring to a halt any further taxes I pay to the State of Colorado.

My property recently had two oil and gas wells drilled on them. I recently sold the farm property but retained the mineral rights. These royalties are important for my financial security. Please accept this letter as my objection to the proposed amendment. It would seem to me that any and all wells already drilled should not be shut down. It also appears that this is an important industry for Weld County and it their contribution to the county tax base would disappear, higher taxes would have to be made up by property owners such as myself. I object to higher taxes that would affect me. The income from the royalties received are a large base of my yearly income. The mineral rights were also part of my husband's estate which were to be passed on to our children. Please vote against the proposed amendment. Thank you for your consideration.

SUITE 2 Board /', Commissioners 1 GREELEY COLORADO 80631 Board of Weld County C - (303)351 0733 GREELEY Centennial Building (303)659-7710 DENVER 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Commissioners: I have spent considerable time reviewing the proposed Weld County Oil & Gas Regulations. I will not attempt to comment by line or section,since I strongly oppose these regulations as written,both conceptually and substantively. It is my belief that you have given in to the strong lobbying efforts of Dennis Hoshiko and others in the Front Range Land and Mineral Owners Association. One of you commented to me,following a hearing much earlier in the year, that no regulations seemed necessary at the County level. Nothing has changed for the worse in the meantime...only for the better. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (the "Commission") has greatly strengthened its Rules and Regulations, and has strictly enforced,including the levying of large fines,its various rules. COGA members have adopted a Code of Conduct. I have no objection to the County amending its ordinances to address such issues as distances that a building must be located relative to an existing well. This is a planning and land use function, and I support reasonable rules with which builders can comply. Your proposed regulations, however, are so duplicative of those of the Commission that you are begging for litigation. The City of Greeley recently lost over$350,000 of taxpayer money which could have been spent on badly needed park equipment. As a Weld County taxpayer, I object to any ordinance or regulation which will form the basis for costly litigation. I believe your proposed regulations do just that. If passed, these regulations are so burdensome that the end result would be the end of drilling in Weld County. Yes,the sky will fall...with disastrous effects on a County which is addicted to oil and gas tax revenue in a State where agriculture has been given preferential treatment (to a grossly unfair degree) over residential, business and industry ad valorem taxation. The oil and gas industry in Weld County has been roasted,with numerous factually incorrect articles, by the Greeley Tribune for many years. The current state of oil and gas industry bashing in Weld County can be, in my opinion, tied directly to poor journalism, not massive acts of operator irresponsibility as the paper would have us believe. The FRLMOA position regarding surface damages is novel at best, since it stems from mining, not oil and gas law. Yet FRLMOA and other organizations claiming to support its position have done much, apparently, to influence you. At the present time, there are only four operators active in the Weld County area. None is a major oil company, since all of the majors pulled out long ago. The others have all ceased drilling, gone out of business, or been acquired by larger companies. The regulations you propose would add substantially to the cost of drilling a well, yet would provide not one ounce of protection for anyone in Weld County except the job security of the Department of Planning Services. This result is certainly not in the public interest. The manner in which these regulations were written is a source of great personal disappointment. The oil and gas industry had absolutely no input, and now any change, no matter how small, is a ee_ fit; HI-) CA - 940339 concession on the part of the County. I can't imagine that you would fail to involve the agricultural community in the promulgation of rules so burdensome that farming would become greatly impacted or even uneconomic. The political pressure would have been overwhelming. Yet you did this with the oil and gas industry, which employs hundreds of persons (voters) in Weld County, and the political atmosphere among oil and gas industry employees is now not a pretty one. There has been substantial damage done to potable water through the application of fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides by farmers. Yet there are no County regulations regulating farmers use of chemicals to protect drinking water. Why not? Why are farmers not charged when they damage roads with trucks and equipment or soak a road with a circular sprinkler? Companies are charged (part of it voluntarily, as you will recall) a rig moving fee, which many of us believe to be discriminatory and therefore illegal. This has not been tested in court, but may well be now. It is amazing how angry people can get when their very livelihood is threatened. Previous desires to cooperate with local governments can disappear, and that is exactly what is happening. My business has been steadily declining as the number of operators in this County diminish, and I no longer have any reason not to draw a line in the political sand. I will oppose these regulations with every resource at my disposal, and I will politically not forget the manner in which my county representatives drafted, basically in secret, a set of poorly thought out regulations which are sure to be tested in court. In my opinion, and in the opinion of more than one outside attorney,you are exceeding the authority of a county to regulate oil and gas drilling, and I believe it to be intentional. I cannot imagine that the Weld County Attorney's Office has advised you that these proposed regulations will absolutely withstand judicial challenge. The Commission is the ONLY body empowered by the State to issue oil and gas drilling permits. They did not grant such powers to the Weld County Department of Planning Services or to the Board of County Commissioners. If you are not trying to regulate outside the scope of your authority, why is there attempted regulation of almost every item covered by existing Commission rules and regulations? Please reconsider your position on this whole matter, and seek to regulate only in the area of setbacks by landowners desiring to construct near oil and gas facilities (if even that is really necessary). Spend your time and effort on ways to mitigate the effect of the decline in ad valorem taxes which is absolutely guaranteed to occur, sooner than perhaps anyone thinks, in Weld County. Be true leaders and take a positive position toward the industry which provides tax money without which this County cannot function. It is sad, if agriculture is so important to this County, that it enjoys ad valorem and other tax breaks and subsidies which make anything given to the oil and gas industry, on any level, look minuscule. I intend to speak at all hearings, and my name should be added to the list of parties expected to address the Board. With sincere disappointment, Wil ram G.

RMOGA takes the position that it is unnecessary and undesirable especially at this Lim Limg to promulgate iltly regulation of oil and gas operations by the County for two principle reasons. The first reason is that the proposed regulatory scheme is, to a large degree, preempted by state law and regulations. The second and far more important reason is that a regulatory scheme at the state level has been developing in the last two years for the purpose of dealing with the very problems and issues that are sought to be addressed by the County's proposed regulations. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, in an almost continuous rulemaking process over the past two years, has promulgated the following regulations and policies: • The Wattenberg Special Area Rules which establish surface owner notice and consultation requirements, which establish new requirements for fencing, soil removal and reserve pit use and which establish new reclamation requirements. It is important to note that these regulations were designed in large part to deal with oil and gas operations specific to Weld County. • Exploration and production waste rules which set forth detailed requirements for the operation and closure of pits; for the handling, treatment and disposal of E&P wastes; and for the venting or flaring of natural gas.

These particular rules were adopted after almost two years of meetings between representatives of Colorado counties and the industry. During the past year, the makeup of the Commission's senior staff has changed almost completely. A new Director assumed his duties earlier this year. At about the same time, a new Deputy Director and a new Chief Engineer also were appointed. Not only has the morale improved noticeably within the Commission's staff, but it has become very clear that the new Director, Rich Griebling, intends to be very proactive in overseeing oil and gas activities within the State, particularly in the Wattenbere Special Area. It is to be noted that the makeup of the Commission itself also has changed recently. In the last several months, two new Commissioners have been appointed, both of whom have pointedly and directly concerned themselves with surface owner issues when deliberating the issuance of orders granting applications before the Commission. Finally, we especially direct your attention to Senate Bill 177 which was specifically designed to increase and expand the authority of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to regulate and to address improper practices. This bill, which is expected to become law, was developed through the cooperative efforts of local governments, the agricultural industry, environmental groups and the oil and gas industry. Giving the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, its new Director and his staff the time and opportunity to implement this legislation is perhaps, more than any other, the single most important reason for Weld County j to promulgate oil and gas regulations at this time. In summary, RMOGA strongly opposes the enactment of any oil and gas regulatory scheme by Weld County at this time for the reason that the State's regulatory scheme, to be strengthened by new legislation and implemented by a new and concerned Director and his staff, will work.

We know. that Weld County is a r;d always will be - agr-i.cculturally based , but we feel that it does not hurt to allow other industries in our county employ residents and pay taxes . If Weld County continues to keep changing ordinances and enacting laws that discontinue other types of businesses in the county , we are afraid to say that the recent growth in population and retail growth will come to a drastic halt. As an active participant .in this industry ,y , We are well aware of :all the self policing that the industry has placed on itself as well as what the state oil and gas commission has placed and continues to monitor. We know that in the last two years all the companies have and continue to make efforts regarding the importance of safety , as well as surface and land owner concerns. In closing, We would like to add , that not only do these proposed regulations effect Weld County but they also effect our nation as a whole. As more and more regulations are placed on the drilling industry that hamper the profitabil. i Ly of these wells, the more dependent we as a country will become on over"-seas energy source. We don' t see how this could possibly be good for any of us. Therefore, We ask that in your decisions on these regulations, please not only take into account your local community and residents, but the future of the country as a whole.

The oil and gas revenue derived from these wells has been valuable to the land-owners in the area, and the industry itself provides a major contribution to the county' s property tax base. We feel that the "Weld County Oil & Gas Regulations - DTD 3/3/94" has gone though sufficient legislation on a state level, and meets all regulated requirements, and that by trying to change or alter this would be devasting to the county.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Sirs and Mesdames: I note with alarm your proposed new regulations re: Weld County's zoning ordinances and building codes and their impact on future oil and gas drilling. These regulations exceed the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission Rules and Regulations and add yet more unwieldy bureaucracy to the oil and gas development of Weld County. Surely that is beating the poor horse to death. I have infinitessimal royalty interests in these areas, but the small amount that I have would disappear under these proposed regulations. Is it your intention to divert all proceeds into so many rules and regulations that no one can realize profit? If so, please reconsider.
