Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney made this matter of record, saying this was continued from _October 10, 1-990, and that only new information is tote heard. Chairman Brantner said that Commissioner Kirby needs to leave at 11:45 a.m. Michael Callahan, Attorney representing the applicant, made comments on the Containment Tlan submitted by Total Engineering Service, which was approved by the Health Department. Tom -Cope, Engineer from Total Engineering Service, said the average number of cattle on site daily would range from 9,000 to 10,000 head. He explained the Containment Plan and answered questions of the Board. Mr. Cope commented on the evaporation and disposal of the ponds, dust control, distribution system, results of lab tests, and the operation plan for the Troposed site. (Tape Change 490-42) Wes Potter, Health Department representative, confirmed the sufficiency of acreage for -disposal. Mr. Cope concluded by saying all criteria has been met and answered further questions of the Board. Mr. Callahan confirmed the fact that everything is in compliance and answered questions of the Board concerning the number of cattle on site. Mr. Potter commented on the flow-through water system and said a discharge permit may be required by the State Health Department. Mr. Totter answered questions of the Board concerning odor. Steve Williamson, Attorney _representing the Shoeneman 5M Ranch, stated concerns regarding the Containment Plan. He said the Plan is not -designed to handle more than average precipitation and is too big for the site. Tob Samples, retired Water Commissioner for the area, said he has concerns about the proposed -height of the dike, overflow, sprinkler system, recycling of water, disposal of manure, and the shallow water table in the area. He answered questions of the Board concerning Sand Creek and estimated three floodings in the last ten years. John Mitzel, George Sigg, Steve Benson, Lauri Klausner, Norma Taylor, Joel Shoeneman, and Linda Shoeneman, all surrounding property owners, stated their concerns regarding this request. In response to the public testimony, Mr. Callahan said overflow will not occur t,ecause the water will be recycled. He also sai-d the averages in the _Containment Plan are for a period of nineteen years. Mr. Callahan said there are surrounding property owners -who are willing to buy the waste water for fertilizer if there is an -excess, and he stated the applicant's -willingness to comply with Development Standards and Conditions of -Approval required by the Tlanning Department and the criteria of the State and County Health Departments. 901227 Page 2 RE: CERTIFICATE - ROGGEN FEEDLOT/HESSEE In response to questions of the Board, Lanell Curry, Planning Department representative, said the floodplain issue has been addressed, as well as the monitoring of groundwater. Mr. Potter commented on the cleaning of the ponds, the liners, and the removal of sediment. He also said he has not seen any negative effects from using a sprinkler system. Mr. Potter commented on the sufficiency of the level of the water table, and said an odor abatement plan will be initiated if there are any complaints. Commissioner Kennedy moved to continue this matter until 1:00 p.m. Commissioner Kirby said he could be back by 2:00 p.m. ; therefore Commissioner Kennedy amended his motion to continue until 2:00 p.m. Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion which carried unanimously. The Board reconvened at 2:00 p.m. , with all Commissioners present. Mr. Potter answered questions of the Board concerning the adequacy of the ponds and said the safety margin is sufficient as long as the required management is provided. He explained the run-off process into the ponds and said the odor is controlled by a Development Standard which maintains a 127:1 dilution threshold. Mr. Morrison questioned the difference between an evaporation system and a system for ponds which are pumped out. Mr. Potter explained the evaluation process for such systems. He also explained the difference between aerobic and anaerobic. Ms. Curry reminded the Board of the additional Development Standard and Condition of Approval. Mr. Morrison questioned the time needed for construction of the containment facilities. Ms. Curry suggested a time frame be set and said Pond A is already in compliance. Mr. Potter said the additional ponds would be needed within six months. Mr. Cope said Ponds B and C will be built immediately. Mr. Morrison read into the record the Conditions of Approval prior to recording. Ms. Curry and Mr. Potter agreed that Ponds B and C would need to be built and approved by the Health Department within six months. Ms. Curry read the additional Condition of Approval and Development Standard into the record. Commissioner Harbert moved to deny the request for expansion of a commercial cattle feedlot (12,400 head) , with Commissioner Kirby seconding the motion. Commissioners Harbert, Kirby, and Kennedy stated their reasons for denial. Commissioner Lacy said he feels the only problem is size, and he will vote against the motion. Chairman Brantner said he feels the size is a problem, as well as too narrow of a margin for error, and he will vote for the motion. On a roll call vote, the motion carried four to one, with Commissioner Lacy voting nay. This Certification was approved on the 17th day of December, 1990. Cl?

It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 24.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: The proposal is consistent with the Agricultural goals and policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The Agricultural goals and policies encourage development of commercial and industrial uses, such as commercial feedlots, which are directly dependent upon the agricultural industry. The goals and policies also state that the agricultural zone district is intended to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the agricultural zone district and is provided for as a use by special review. The proposed use would be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses which include agricultural production, oil and gas production and processing, Weld County roads, and rural residences. The proposed use would also be compatible with the future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the agricultural zone district. Conditions of approval and development standards will ensure compatibility. 9C 1.22 Amended USR-208 Richard Hessee Page 2 A portion of the property is located in the Flood Hazard Overlay District.

The Department of Planning Services' staff recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following: 1. The attached Development Standards for the Special Review permit shall be adopted and placed on the Special Review plat prior to recording the plat.

September 6, 1990 Ms. Lanell J. Curry Weld County Colorado Departemnt of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Case Number Amended USR-208 -Richard Hessee Dear Ms. Curry: According to the Important Farmland Map for Weld County, Colorado, this area is Prime Farmland. For building and local roads this area has low soil strength which should be considered in any design for those items. As stated in the report by Total Engineering Services, almost half of the pro- posed additionalfeedlot is within the 100 year flood plain of Sand Creek accord- ing to the Flood Insurance Map. The silage area, a runoff pond and one entire cattle pen and most of another cattle pen is within the 100 year flood plain. In checking the contour elevations, it appears that the runoff pond north of the silage area is above the cattle pens that are to the north and east. It will require extensive grading and reshaping of the land surface to get the water runoff from the cattle pens to drain into the runoff pond. Either that or relocating the runoff pond in the northwest corner which, according to the contours, is the low spot. Some grading and shaping is necessary so that drainage from all pens will drain into the runoff ponds. A berm should be built around the area to make sure that water runoff drains into runoff pond. The runoff ponds, including the existing runoff pond, should never be allowed to overflow. Water runoff from the feedlot operation should not be allowed to drain into Sand Creek or the highway right-of-way. A diversion or berm should be built to prevent water runoff and livestock waste from the cattle Bens or loading pen from flowing across the trees in the tree screen. If not prevented the livestock waste will kill the trees. --- — lj 111 ',VP 1 :, 1990 j 'Held ia I Will 41 CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT - SELF-GOVERNMENT 4- 2f7ra l - The report by Total Engineering Services states that the manure from the cattle pens will be cleaned twice a year. The report did not indicate when the runoff ponds will be cleaned. The runoff ponds should be cleaned when- ever they are full, before they overflow. Ponds should never be filled above the designed liquid level leaving the necessary freeboard. The present pond, when checked recently, was overflowing into the highway right-of-way. Manure (animal waste) should not be spread on frozen soil or when the ground is too wet. The feedlot owner or operator should make sure that sufficient farmland is available on which to spread manure when needed. With cessation of this operation, all material removed should be disposed of in accordance with county and state regulations. The land would need to be leveled for farming. The land area would also need to be subsoiled to break up soil compaction caused by the _feedlot operations.

COUNTY OF WELD ) STATE OF COLORADO ) Signature: Owner or Authorized Agent Subscribed and sworn to before me this day of 19_ NOTARY PUBLIC My commission expires Ana ROGGEN FEEDLOT USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT ROGGEN, COLORADO AUGUST, 1990 �� s TOTAL ENGINEERING SERVICE S © 3310 State Street Evans, CO 80620 (303)339-5215 9€Sv'Zti 7 USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW ROGGEN FEEDLOT SCOPE The enclosed attachment to the Use by Special Review is being provided in accordance with Section 24 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance dated November 21, 1989. Portions of the site were permitted as a commercial cattle feedlot by Sargent Farms, Inc. on July 11, 1973. This Special Use Permit approved by the Weld County Commissioners is enumerated as SUP- 208. The enclosed Site Plan, enclosed in Appendix F, shows the portions approved in that permit. The commercial feedlot has had several owners since the approval of that Special Use Permit. On May 15, 1990 the feedlot and land was sold to the applicant of this permit, Richard Hessee. Several days prior to the purchase of the feedlot Mr. Hessee was made aware that the feedlot as it exists is not in compliance with the approved Special Use Permit. This application is provided to rectify this situation. Mr. Hessee is requesting an amendment to SUP-208 to permit the additional cattle pens that exist in Section 25 and construct pens in Section 24, as shown on the Site Plan. The maximum number of cattle proposed on site will be 12,400 head based on 112 square feet per head. LOCATION The site is located west of Weld County Road 73 with Weld County Road 18 running through the site. The site address is 35895 WCR 18, Roggen, Colorado and more particularly know as part of the Southeast Quarter (SE 1/4) of Section 24 and part of the Northeast Quarter (NE 1/4) of Section 25, Township 2 North, Range 63 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The site is located in the agricultural zone district and is anticipated to remain with the same agricultural zoning based on the use. This is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as discussed in goal number three for the Agricultural District which states, "Promote the development of commercial and industrial uses directly dependent upon the agricultural industry (e.g. commercial feed lots, farm implement dealerships, irrigation equipment companies)." The use of the proposed amended commercial feedlot is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. First of all the feedlot has been in existence and operation since receiving the SUP in 1973. The land use adjacent to and surrounding the property in all directions is agricultural farm ground. The area contains few residential homes. The nearest occupied residential structure is approximately five hundred feet (500') from the south property line. The use of the proposed amendment is compatible with the anticipated future development as projected by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This area is anticipated to remain an agricultural district and is not targeted in the urban growth area. 9C14.2 J OPERATIONS The existing commercial feedlot is permitted for a maximum of 3600 head of cattle. With the proposed expansion of the feedlot the maximum capacity would be 12,400 head of cattle. At final build out the feedlot would employee approximately 10 employees with one work shift. The hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for general operations. The facility has two wells permitted with the Colorado State Engineers Office. The permit numbers are 017306-F and 015295-RF, enclosed in Appendix A. The wells have been approved for Commercial and Irrigation/Livestock uses, respectively. The wells are sufficiently capable of providing the required water use for the proposed expansion. These wells will also serve to provide fire protection water if needed. The average vehicular traffic to the facility consists of a feed truck driving on site twice per day along the truck alleys and access roads. Cattle trucks pick up and deliver cattle to the facility approximately two times per week and have access to the site along Weld County Road 18. The only other traffic besides the employees would be a truck to pick up dead cattle on an as need basis. The existing office is served by a septic system permitted with the Weld County Department of Health. The permit was issued by the County on November 12, 1973. The expansion of the feedlot is not anticipated to overload the system or require additional sewage facilities. The manure from the cattle pens will be cleaned twice per year. This schedule coincides with the needs of the farmers to provide fertilizer to the farm lands. Cattle manure has been successfully used as a beneficial use to provide nutrients to the soils to assist in the raising of crops for years throughout the world. Roggen Feedlot will incorporate the manure on farm land owned or leased by Richard Hessee in a manner that is not anticipated to degredate the soils or groundwater. Any stock piling of the solids will be handled in an area bordered by a berm to prevent entrance into surface water. cad :' 72 Storm water retention ponds, as shown on the Site Plan, will be designed in accordance with the State Health Department's "Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities" upon receiving the approval of this amendment to the Special Use Permit. The Feedlot Containment Plan will be submitted to the Weld County Health Department for approval. Any dead cattle are removed from the facility by companies specializing in such work. Presently Roggen Feedlot is using Morgan County Pet Foods to remove any dead cattle. The cattle are generally removed from the facility within two days. This practice will continue with the expansion of the feedlot. Soils information compiled from the Soil Conservation Service, "Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part " are enclosed in Appendix B. Shallow slopes on the facility will be maintained to minimize the potential for erosion on site. The expansion of the feedlot is anticipated to take place over the next several years. The expansion will be conducted in phases as the financial funds are available. The cattle pens shown in Section 25 have been constructed prior to Mr. Heesee purchasing the property. The next area of expansion would be the eastern cattle pens shown in Section 24. The last area of expansion would be the western pens in Section 24. The associated runoff ponds will be constructed prior to occupancy of the pens by any cattle. The cattle pens will be removed and any remaining manure will be hauled to farm land for incorporation upon cessation of the Use by Special Review Permit. 901?2-2 PERMITS The facility is not located in a geologic hazard or Weld County Airport overlay district area. However, the northwest portion of the site is located in the 100 year flood plain as depicted by the Flood Insurance Map and shown on the Site Plan. A Flood Hazard Permit will be obtained prior to expansion of the feedlot in this area should the Weld County Department of Planning Services require it. We request the Weld County Department of Planning Services waive a noise report for this amended Use by Special Review Permit. This facility has no noise generating devices that are different from other feedlots located within the County. The applicant agrees to meet the noise standards set for other feedlots and similar commercial endeavors. A copy of the recorded deed is provided in Appendix C. A certified list of the owners within 500 feet of the property is provided in Appendix D. A certified list of the mineral owners and lessees is provided in Appendix E. CONCLUSION It is our hope that the Weld County Planning Commission and County Commissioners will look favorably on the approval of the amendment to the existing permit and allow the expansion of this commercial cattle feedlot. The applicant will provide adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood, Weld County and the State of Colorado. These provisions will be provided by meeting the criteria set in the Development Standards. 9C1.227:, APPENDIX A WELL PERMITS wRJ.5.n _ — COLORADO DIVISION OF WATER RESOURC r,CnC'I,CD .1 Columbine DIJg., 1845 Sherman 54,Deliver,Colorado BmdJ 1-2 V` PERMIT APPLICATION FORM /III APR 19'73 Application must be complete where ('AI A PERMIT TO USE GROUND WATER w+rc applicable.

Section 24 . 1.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance states: "If the Use by Special Review is discontinued for a period of three (3) consecutive years, it shall be presumed abandoned. It shall be necessary to follow the procedures and requirements of this section in order to establish any Use by Special Review which has been abandoned. " So far as I was able to determine, there was no testimony or Evidence presented which was contrary to Mr. Parker' s statements. It is quite likely that SUR 208 has been abandoned and the expan- sion request is improperly entitled and should be designated as a request for a new permit. In addition, abandonment should be added to the issues for discussion at the revocation hearing. I would appreciate it if you would let me know if your office intends to investigate the abandonment issue. Also, I would appreciate a copy of the notice setting this matter for hearing before the County Commissioners.

This plan complies with the Colorado Guidelines for Feedlot Runoff Containment. This plan also complies with paragraph 47.1.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, dated November 21, 1989. Included in this report is a plan for the construction of the detention ponds, calculations showing how the ponds will contain the twenty-five year/twenty-four hour storm event as well as the annual precipitation. Laboratory permeability test results have been provided to verify the liner material to be used will meet the minimum permeability criteria of 1 x 10-6 cm/sec as required by the State Health Department for a domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant. We have worked in close cooperation with your Department to ensure we meet the needs of the regulations and provide adequate protection to the health, safety, and welfare of the people in Weld County. This plan meets all the regulations and provides adequate protection, therefore we request this Feedlot Containment Plan be approved by your Department. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning this matter.

The feedlot has been divided into four storm drainage cells in order to facilitate the natural drainage pattern and phased construction schedule. The first drainage cell is located south of County Road 18 in Section 25 and is served by Pond A. The pens shown on the enclosed Feedlot Containment Plan are already constructed. This area is presently served by an existing approved feedlot containment pond that is sufficient to contain the 25 yr/24 hr storm event. This pond will be increased to allow the operator more flexibility to use the water for beneficial use on site. The use of this water will be described later in this report. Pond A will serve approximately 28.2 acres of land. The next drainage cell is located north of County Road 18 in Section 24. This cell contains the runoff from the eastern portion of the site with storage to be provided in Pond B. Pond B is located near the middle of the approximately 11 .1 acres of land that will drain into the pond. Pond C retains the runoff water from the approximately 12.5 acres of land located in the northwestern portion of Section 24. Portions of this area will require the placement of fill to reroute the drainage flow pattern towards the pond. The remaining 7.2 acres of the site contain the office/shop, feed mill, and grain storage areas. The runoff from this area will be routed around Pond C and allowed to exit the site without containment, closely matching the historic flow pattern. 90.227 1 POND INFORMATION Three ponds have been designed to contain the runoff waters on site from a 25 yr/24 hr storm event as required by the Colorado Department of Health's Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities. Using the Soil Conservation Service Method of runoff the 25 yr/24 hr storm event would require a minimum capacity of 4.66 acre-feet, 1 .83 acre-feet, and 2.02 acre-feet for Ponds A, B, and C respectively. (See Appendix A). This capacity is based on a 3.0 inch rain occurring in a 24 hour period, with the probability this storm event would occur once per every 25 years. The respective capacity for Ponds A, B, and C is 13.01 acre-feet, 4.74 acre-feet, and 8.56 acre-feet, while maintaining a one foot freeboard. These ponds were designed with the following goals: 1) Provide a means to retain the average runoff water on site. 2) Provide the capacity to handle the 25 yr/24 hr storm event on site during any month of the year. 3) Provide a means to beneficially use the water on site. Retain the average runoff water on site Achieving this goal would mean no water would be required to be exported off site during any average year. This goal could not be practically achieved for all the ponds individually. However, this goal has been achieved collectively by oversizing Pond B and Pond C to increase the evaporation effects and provide greater volume. Therefore, no water will be exported off site during an average precipitation year. Furthermore, all three ponds working in combination can retain the annual precipitation as well as the 25 yr/24 hr storm. It should be pointed out that the losses used in the sprayer evaporation and dust abatement, shown on the "area runoff/evaporation" table, are anticipated to be conservative. Consequently, we anticipate a much greater safety factor than indicated in the worksheets. 9C12,27 2 These ponds were sized by analyzing the average monthly precipitation and evaporation for the site, considering the use of evaporation sprayers and reusing the water for dust abatement on site. (Bee Appendix B). Appendix C provides a view of the dynamic affect that will occur for each pond during the first five years. Provide the capacity to retain the 25 yr/24 hr storm These ponds must have the capacity to retain a 25 yr/ 24 hr storm event in order to meet the requirements of the Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities. The ponds shown on the plan can retain the 25 yr/24 hr storm at any time in the analysis period. The analysis period has reached an equilibrium water balance. Appendix D depicts the worst case scenario. All runoff waters occurring from a 25 yr/24 hr storm would be contained in the ponds, therefore meeting the requirements of the Guidelines to Feedlot Run ff Containment Facilities. The elevation of the outlet pipes into the ponds have been designed at the critical elevation. This elevation must not be exceeded to ensure the necessary capacity in each pond is available for the design storm event. This allows the operator and reviewing agency a means to verify the needed capacity is always available. Provide water for beneficial use on site This will allow the operator of the facility to use the water to assist in the daily operations of the facility. This assistance will be beneficial to the -community as well as the operator. The area runoff/evaporation tables provided in Appendix C reflects that two means of beneficial use will be applied on site. The first beneficial use is the recycling of the water in the form of evaporation sprayers. Additional air will be introduced into the ponds, therefore maintaining aerobic conditions which in turn reduces the potential for odors. The second beneficial use occurs by using the pond water for dust abatement. This also assists in the circulation of the ponds while providing a water source to combat fugitive dust. 9C12,27 3 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Each pond has been designed for a pump capable of delivering 50 gallons per minute with a pressure of 40 psi. The distribution lines from each pump will be tied into the sprayer system, the cattle pen sprinkler system and the other pump systems. This will allow the operator to distribute the water into the same drainage area as well as to the other ponds and/or the other drainage areas. The projected distribution provided in the appendices can be maintained even if one of the three pumps is temporarily in need of repair. DESIGN CRITERIA The detention ponds have been designed with a six inch impervious clay liner placed at ninety-five percent (950/0) of Standard Proctor and plus or minus 20/0 of optimum moisture. This liner will meet or exceed the seepage rate criteria of 1/32 inch per day or 1 x 10-6 cm/sec, set by the Colorado Department of Health for domestic wastewater treatment plants. The laboratory test results of the permeability test conducted by Empire Laboratories, Inc. indicates the materials proposed will meet this criteria. (See Appendix E). OPERATION PLAN This Feedlot Containment Plan necessitates water being contained in Ponds A, B, and C. The water levels will be controlled by both evaporative losses and to control fugitive dust. (See Appendix C). Water from Pond A will be transferred to the other ponds on a periodic basis to maintain pond equilibrium. The distribution system will permit the transfer of water between the ponds to ensure the specific pond capacities can sustain the design storm event. 4 9C 1227 CONSTRUCTION The narrative for the Use by Special Review Report explained how the construction of the feedlot facility will be built in phases. This Feedlot Containment Plan takes the phased construction into account. Pond A will be the first phase of construction. Drainage Basin B will be the second phase, with completion of the project occurring in Drainage Basin C. The cattle pens in basins B and C will not be occupied until the respective ponds have been constructed and verified by a registered Professional Engineer to ensure construction of the ponds was conducted in accordance to the plans. Three possible scenarios of construction could occur. The first is that all three phases will be constructed as explained in this report and the Use by Special Review Report. This report demonstrates that the _average annual precipitation and the required storm event will be fully controlled on site. The second and third scenarios would only occur in the event of some unforeseen circumstance occurred. We have planned this possibility • to ensure that the health, safety, and welfare of the people in Weld County are protected. The second scenario would occur if Phase A and B were completed, but Phase C was not constructed. The "area runoff/evaporation" table shows an excess amount of water being exported from Pond A into Pond B to maintain the equilibrium water balance. Under this circumstance the site would have 12.5 acres of land in drainage basin C available for application of the liquid waste as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. The liquid wastes would be applied through out the year to ensure the water levels in the ponds are capable of handling the required storm event. The last scenario would have Phase A completed and Phases B and C not constructed. The excess water to maintain the equilibrium water balance would be applied over the 23.6 acres of available land for beneficial use. This would maintain the necessary volume in Pond A for the required storm event. 5 901227 CONCLUSIONS The ponds in the feedlot have been sized sufficiently large enough not only to retain on site a 25 yr/24 hr storm event, but to maintain the average annual precipitation on site as well. This plan provides the applicant with a water source to control fugitive dust on site and aerate the ponds to minimize potential odors. This plan has demonstrated that all liquid waste will be completely controlled on site without any discharge to state waters and all the requirements of the Colorado Department of Health's Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities will be met. This plan also meets the concerns of the Weld County Commissioners and the Weld County Department of Health as we understand them from our discussions with the Director of the Environmental Health. Therefore, this plan and the Amended Use by Special Review application should be granted. 901227 6 APPENDIX A RUNOFF CALCULATIONS SC1227 RUNOFF CALCULATIONS PRQJECT: ROGGEN FEEDLOT PROJECT NO.: 9 0 - 1 3 3 Use Soil Conservation Service Method to determine runoff. le = (P - la)(P -la) = 1.98 inches Effective Rainfall P - la + S S = 1000 - 10 CN = 1 .1 1 CN Assume CN = 90 Table 6-5 Soil Group B Feedlot: 75% impervious la = 0.2 S = 0.222 P= 3.00 Precipitation Map Runoff Volume = (Drainage Acreage)(le/12) SUMMARY DRAINAGE POND ACREAGE RUNOFF VOLUME A 28.22 acres 4.66 Acre-feet B 11.09 acres 1.83 Acre-feet C 12.25 acres 2.02 Acre-feet 2C a�7 0 a m o a w r, n ^0 O a _ �- — _T- � � N r ____T____-T_�_ I I e "-- a z R I - 1 I •1 ~�� o o as3 i 6. . � , 1 I b 11 z s I I 1 _. _ 1 .-. 1 I r. 1 r ^ I 1 3 d I I / .'� I l• 1 I W y 7S R 1 . = 1 r - 1 -1 I 4 10 s - • +- -----I I 1 I-_ o a .

COUNTY OF WELD ) STATE OF COLORADO ) Signature: Owner or Authorized Agent Subscribed and sworn to before me this day of 19_ NOTARY PUBLIC • My commission expires USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW ROGGEN FEEDLOT SCOPE The enclosed attachment to the Use by Special Review is being provided in accordance with Section 24 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance dated November 21, 1989. Portions of the site were permitted as a commercial cattle feedlot by Sargent Farms, Inc. on July 11, 1973. This Special Use Permit approved by the Weld County Commissioners is enumerated as SUP- 208. The enclosed Site Plan, enclosed in Appendix F, shows the portions approved in that permit. The commercial feedlot has had several owners since the approval of that Special Use Permit. On May 15, 1990 the feedlot and land was sold to the applicant of this permit, Richard Hessee. Several days prior to the purchase of the feedlot Mr. Hessee was made aware that the feedlot as it exists is not in compliance with the approved Special Use Permit. This application is provided to rectify this situation. Mr. Hessee is requesting an amendment to SUP-208 to permit the additional cattle pens that exist in Section 25 and construct pens in Section 24, as shown on the Site Plan. The maximum number of cattle proposed on site will be 12,400 head based on 112 square feet per head. , • LOCATION The site is located west of Weld County Road 73 with Weld County Road 18 running through the site. The site address is 35895 WCR 18, Roggen, Colorado and more particularly know as part of the Southeast Quarter (SE 1/4) of Section 24 and part of the Northeast Quarter (NE 1/4) of Section 25, Township 2 North, Range 63 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The site is located in the agricultural zone district and is anticipated to remain with the same agricultural zoning based on the use. This is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as discussed in goal number three for the Agricultural District which states, "Promote the development of commercial and industrial uses directly dependent upon the agricultural industry (e.g. commercial feed lots, farm implement dealerships, irrigation equipment companies)." The use of the proposed amended commercial feedlot is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. First of all the feedlot has been in existence and operation since receiving the SUP in 1973. The land use adjacent to and surrounding the property in all directions is agricultural farm ground. The area contains few residential homes. The nearest occupied residential structure is approximately five hundred feet (500') from the south property line. The use of the proposed amendment is compatible with the anticipated future development as projected by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This area is anticipated to remain an agricultural district and is not targeted in the urban growth area. OPERATIONS The existing commercial feedlot is permitted for a maximum of 3600 head of cattle. With the proposed expansion of the feedlot the maximum capacity would be 12,400 head of cattle. At final build out the feedlot would employee approximately 10 employees with one work shift. The hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for general operations. • The facility has two wells permitted with the Colorado State Engineers Office. The permit numbers are 017306-F and 015295-RF, enclosed in Appendix A. The wells have been approved for Commercial and Irrigation/Livestock uses, respectively. The wells are sufficiently capable of providing the required water use for the proposed expansion. These wells will also serve to provide fire protection water if needed. The average vehicular traffic to the facility consists of a feed truck driving on site twice per day along the truck alleys and access roads. Cattle trucks pick up and deliver cattle to the facility approximately two times per week and have access to the site along Weld County Road 18. The only other traffic besides the employees would be a truck to pick up dead cattle on an as need basis. The existing office is served by a septic system permitted with the Weld County Department of Health. The permit was issued by the County on November 12, 1973. The expansion of the feedlot is not anticipated to overload the system or require additional sewage facilities. The manure from the cattle pens will be cleaned twice per year. This schedule coincides with the needs of the farmers to provide fertilizer to the farm lands. Cattle manure has been successfully used as a beneficial use to provide nutrients to the soils to assist in the raising of crops for years throughout the world. Roggen Feedlot will incorporate the manure on farm land owned or leased by Richard Hessee in a manner that is not anticipated to degredate the soils or groundwater. Any stock piling of the solids will be handled in an area bordered by a berm to prevent entrance into surface water. Storm water retention ponds, as shown on the Site Plan, will be designed in accordance with the State Health Department's "Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities" upon receiving the approval of this amendment to the Special Use Permit. The Feedlot Containment Plan will be submitted to the Weld County Health Department for approval. Any dead cattle are removed from the facility by companies specializing in such work. Presently Roggen Feedlot is using Morgan County Pet Foods to remove any dead cattle. The cattle are generally removed from the facility within two days. This practice will continue with the expansion of the feedlot. Soils information compiled from the Soil Conservation Service, "Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part " are enclosed in Appendix B. Shallow slopes on the facility will be maintained to minimize the potential for erosion on site. The expansion of the feedlot is anticipated to take place over the next several years. The expansion will be conducted in phases as the financial funds are available. The cattle pens shown in Section 25 have been constructed prior to Mr. Heesee purchasing the property. The next area of expansion would be the eastern cattle pens shown in Section 24. The last area of expansion would be the western pens in Section 24. The associated runoff ponds will be constructed prior to occupancy of the pens by any cattle. The cattle pens will be removed and any remaining manure will be hauled to farm land for incorporation upon cessation of the Use by Special Review Permit. 4 PERMITS The facility is not located in a geologic hazard or Weld County Airport overlay district area. However, the northwest portion of the site is located in the 100 year flood plain as depicted by the Flood Insurance Map and shown on the Site Plan. A Flood Hazard Permit will be obtained prior to expansion of the feedlot in this area should the Weld County Department of Planning Services require it. We request the Weld County Department of Planning Services waive a noise report for this amended Use by Special Review Permit. This facility has no noise generating devices that are different from other feedlots located within the County. The applicant agrees to meet the noise standards set for other feedlots and similar commercial endeavors. A copy of the recorded deed is provided in Appendix C. A certified list of the owners within 500 feet of the property is provided in Appendix D. A certified list of the mineral owners and lessees is provided in Appendix E. CONCLUSION It is our hope that the Weld County Planning Commission and County Commissioners will look favorably on the approval of the amendment to the existing permit and allow the expansion of this commercial cattle feedlot. The applicant will provide adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood, Weld County and the State of Colorado. These provisions will be provided by meeting the criteria set in the Development Standards.

PINS Gnissitw Dear Commissioners: This letter and the attached Exhibits supplement Mr. Richard -I-lessee's amended Special Review Permit Application for expansion of an existing livestock confinement operation located near Roggen, Colorado and commonly called the Roggen Feedlot. Although the application was recommended for approval by the Weld County Planning Service Staff and the Environmental Protection Service, the Planning Commission has made an unfavorable recommendation to you. -This matter is set for a hearing before you on October 10, 1990. -The Planning Commission based its recommendation upon certain findings set forth in the Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting of September 18, 1990. We would like to address these findings as well as issues raised by others. A. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: The proposed expansion is not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. RESPONSE: The Planning Commission acknowledges that the surrounding land uses include agriculture and oil and gas production. Indeed, the Land Use Application Summary Sheet for Amended USR-208 dated September 11, 1990 reflects that the expansion site and the properties adjacent to the proposed expansion are in the Agricultural Zone District. Specifically, the land to the north is in agricultural production and fallow ground, oil and gas production. The property to the east is on the other side of Weld County Road -73 and is used for agricultural production and pasture. The property to the south is in agricultural production, fallow ground, oil and gas production. C t ®d ay / I L 1- Al Board of County Commissioners October 5, 1990 Page 2 The property to the west is in agricultural production and is occupied by an oil and gas processing plant and a residence. The proposed expansion is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan for the Agricultural Zone District, which provides in pertinent part under goal number three; "Promote the development of commercial and industrial uses directly dependent upon the agricultural industry (e.g. commercial feed lots, farm implement dealerships, irrigation equipment companies)." (Emphasis added) The feedlot originally received its Special Use Permit (SUP) in 1973 and has continuously been compatible with the surrounding land uses. The proposed expansion is compatible with the existing land uses and with future development projected by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This area is not targeted for urban growth and it is anticipated that it will remain an Agricultural Zone District. The Weld County Environmental Protection Service has recommended this proposal be approved provided the applicant complies with the following conditions, which have been agreed to by the applicant: 1. The applicant shall remove, handle, and stockpile manure from the livestock confinement area in a manner that will prevent nuisance conditions. The manure piles shall not be allowed to exist or deteriorate to a condition that facilitates excessive odors, flies or insect pests, or pollutant run-off. The manure storage site shall have a water-tight surface which does not permit seepage or percolation of manure pollutants into the ground. 2. The facility shall be in compliance with the Colorado Guidelines for Feedlot Run-off Containment, prior to final approval of the proposed use. 3. An odor abatement plan shall be submitted to the Weld County Health Department for review and approval prior to the operation of the facility. Sufficient equipment shall be on hand at all times to implement the plan as needed. 4. Waste oil, waste paints, stains, treatments, spent drug containers, empty livestock dip containers, anti-freeze, and other associated liquid and solid wastes, shall be stored and removed for final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater contamination. 5. Required Emissions Permit is obtained from the Air Pollution Control Division, Colorado Department of Health for fugitive dust and odors. 6. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. D£ l"?'2 y Board of County Commissioners October 5, 1990 Page 3 7. The existing septic system is required to be reviewed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer, and a copy of that review submitted to this Division before the required I.S.D.S. Evaluation can be performed. 8. An I.S.D.S. Evaluation on all existing septic systems will be necessary, prior to issuing the required septic permits on the existing systems. 9. Wood shavings, saw dust, and waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls fugitive dust, blowing debris, and other potential nuisance conditions. 10. Fugitive dust must be controlled on this site. 11. Any required NPDES permit shall be obtained from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Health, and/or amended if appropriate for the increased operation. 12. Maximum permissible odor level shall not exceed the limit of 127:1 dilution threshold, as measured according to Colorado Revised Statutes. Mr. Hessee agrees to meet the above conditions to comply with the existing law and to ensure the health, safety and well being of his neighbors. Furthermore, attached hereto as Exhibit A are 27 letters from neighbors, farmers, banks, businessmen and others requesting the expansion be approved and reflecting that the proposed expansion is compatible with existing uses and desirable for the economic stability of this region. B. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: There is no proposed buffer or greenbelt between the feedlot and the neighbors. RESPONSE: The applicant has not proposed to place a buffer due to the agricultural nature of all surrounding properties. The Weld County Zoning Ordinance contemplates such a buffer or greenbelt when a proposed use is different in nature from the surrounding property or poses an eyesore. The proposed expansion is not different in kind from the surrounding properties and will not create an eyesore. The individual neighbors who object to the expansion are primarily located on the opposite side (east) of Weld County Road 73 which acts as a natural buffer in itself. C. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: The current and proposed feedlot result in dust problems even in the presence of a sprinkling system. RESPONSE: The applicant has continuously made good faith attempts to keep the dust to a minimum. There will always be a certain amount of dust resulting from any feedlot operation. Several of the letters attached as Exhibit A are from individuals who do regular business with feedlots throughout Weld County and the region. They 34:r c)2"1 Board of County Commissioners October 5, 19911 Page 4 reflect that Mr. Hessee's operation is definitely better than most in controlling dust. Many feedlots in Weld County do not even provide sprinkling systems to abate this problem. Both the original feedlot and the proposed expansion have a sprinkler system to control and mitigate dust. Neither the Weld County Environmental Protection Service nor the Colorado Department of Health have identified Mr. Hessee's operation as being in violation of any regulation or requiring further action with respect to dust. D. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: The run-off ponds are overflowing and the applicant has not attempted to correct this problem. RESPONSE: Mr. Hessee has now remedied the problem run off pond to ensure no further overflowing occurs. Upon information and belief, the overflow pond was never emptied by his predecessors. Mr. Hessee respectfully regrets the overflow problems and as evidenced by Exhibit B attached hereto, he has proposed to either purchase or lease certain land from Marie T. Buchholz to alleviate any damage the overflow has caused her. She has indicated that because of her sons health problem, she does not desire to talk at present, however the applicant remains open to discuss this matter at her convenience. The water containment plan which is proposed will ensure these problems do not arise in the future, even upon the occurrence of a 100-year flood event. Mr. Hessee is now purchasing his own equipment to meet any emergency that may arise from the present or expanded operation. It should be noted that this was a continuous occurrence for Mr. Hessee's predecessors and the proposed expansion will finally remedy an ongoing problem. E. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: There are potential groundwater pollution problems. RESPONSE: The only evidence of ground water pollution appears to have come from an oral statement by Steve Williamson, an attorney representing Linda and Joel Shoeneman. Mr. Williamson apparently stated that two tributary wells on the Shoeneman farm, which is one mile away from the feedlot, became polluted by extremely high bacteria concentrations. There is absolutely no credible scientific evidence reflecting a causal connection between Mr. Hessee's operation and this incident and without substantial testing it would be impossible to say the feedlot contributed whatsoever to this contamination. Other potential sources of this pollution include, but are not limited to, fertilizer run-off, oil and gas production, Shoeneman's own feedlot and confinement area or Sand Creek itself. so x.227 Board of County Commissioners October 5, 1990 Page 5 The well contamination apparently occurred in approximately 1973 which is the same year the SUP was issued. Although requested by Mr. Williamson's office on behalf of his clients, neither the Weld County Environmental Protection Services nor the Colorado Department of Health have identified the feedlot as contributing to any such contamination and bald allegations of same should be ignored unless substantiated by scientific proof. F. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: There is an inadequate manure removal and disposal plan due to the pens only being cleaned twice a year which leads to greater odor and fly problems. The applicant has not provided the quantity and location of the land upon which he proposes to spread the manure. RESPONSE: Mr. Hessee proposes to clean the pens twice a year or as necessary to ensure all health standards are met. This is standard for the industry in Weld County to correspond with the spring and fall agricultural fertilizer application, which is the most beneficial use of manure. Manure is mounded in the middle of the pens during the summer to provide high ground for the cattle and assist in run-off control. It should be noted that the odor problems increase with manure movement and decrease when in the stockpile. The proposed expansion plan includes an impermeable manure storage area to bold manure in the event it is not all taken by local farmers. The leases attached hereto as Exhibit C reflect that Mr. Hessee may spread the manure on either property situated in Weld County, Section 18, Township 2 North, Range 62 W of 6th PM, known as the Andrews Farm or on property located in Township 2, Route 63, lots 23 and 24 containing a total of approximately 360 acres. As previously stated, the Weld County Environmental Protection Service has required the applicant to submit an odor abatement plan to the Weld County Health Department for review and approval prior to operation of the facility. Mr. Hessee has agreed to this condition. Additionally, the maximum odor level will not exceed the limit of 127:1 dilution threshold. ��, .�ey '7 Board of County Commissioners October 5, 1990 Page 6 G. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDING: There is a question of whether Colorado Interstate Gas Co. will have the ability to check for gas leaks which could impact the health and well being of the neighbors. RESPONSE: Mr. Hessee is presently in good faith negotiations with Colorado Interstate Gas Co. All interested parties and their attorneys will be meeting October 8, 1990 in an attempt to resolve this matter. If an amicable agreement for gas line relocation or protection is not resolved, the proposed expansion plan can be modified to put an alley over the gas line easement and provide for adequate leak detection and line repair. H. INDIVIDUAL. OBJECTION: The feedlot has decreased land values and will continue to do so. RESPONSE: There has been absolutely no credible evidence submitted to verify this allegation. Admittedly, a residential subdivision located adjacent to a feedlot may suffer from decreased land values. However, the highest and best use of this and the surrounding land has been determined to be agricultural. The feed lot operation provides a convenient market and many of the surrounding farmers can save substantial money in transportation costs by selling their products to the feedlot. This savings is even greater given the continuing tension in the Middle East and the resultant rise in fuel costs. I. INDIVIDUAL OBJECTION: The feedlot stood empty for six to eight years prior to purchase by Mr. Boggs and thus Section 24.1.5 presumes abandonment. RESPONSE: This statement was apparently made by Richard Parker at the Planning Commission meeting and reiterated by Stephen Williamson in a letter dated September 19, 1990. Upon information and belief, Lanell Curry, of the Weld County Planning Staff, contacted Mr.Parker via telephone after the September 19, 1990 meeting to confirm statement. i aken and hathe would have o apparently all d a e may have her back, wh which he has n t been apparently done as of October 5, 1990. The applicant has not been informed of any credible evidence supporting this allegation. In fact, letters in Exhibit A reflect that neighbors recall there being a continuous feedlot operation from at least 1975. ?nom *py Board of County Commissioners October 9, 1990 Page 7 CONCLUSION Mr. Hessee_has met the standards and conditions set forth in Sections 24.4.2, 24.5 and 24.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance dated November 21, 1989. The Department of Planning Services Staff confirmed this fact and recommended approval of the application. The primary objections raised by the Planning Commission and other individuals are all addressed in the development standards. Mr.Hessee has agreed to comply with all development standards for both the existing feedlot and the proposed expansion. Mr. Hessee presently purchases approximately 600,000 bushels of grain, spends an additional $1.5 million on feed products and pays an annual salary of approximately $100,000. After the proposed expansion, Mr. Hessee will be purchasing 1.6 million bushels of grain annually, expending over $4 million on grain products annually and have an annual payroll of over $300,000. 'The proposed expansion will provide ten new jobs and a substantial market for cattle. Mr.Hessee will address any further concerns at the October 10, 1990 hearing to assure the Board of his intent to protect the health and safety of his neighbors. The letters attached as Exhibits A(1)-(27) reflect that Mr. Hessee is a conscientious businessman, an excellent manager, runs a sound operation and clearly evidence the overwhelming benefit the proposed expansion will provide to the Roggen area.

The proposal is not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. Although the surrounding land uses include agriculture and oil and gas production, the past record and proposed expansion creates an intensive operation with negative spill overs which will lower the health and well being of the neighbors. These negative spillovers include: a. No buffer or greenebelt between the feedlot and the neighbors. a. Dust problems, even in the presence of a sprinkling system. b. Run-off ponds that are overflowing; the applicant has not _attempted to correct this problem. -c. potential groundwater pollution. d. An inadequate manure removal and disposal plan. Cleaning the pens only twice a year leads to greater odor and fly problems. The application stated that the manure would be spread on the applicants land, but the quantity and location of this land is not stated in the application. e. The ability to check for gas leaks poses an additional hazard, which could impact the health and well being of the neighbors. t.IrT ' Planning Commission Summary September 18, 199D Page -3 MOTION: Ann Darrison moved Case Number Amended USR-477, Conoco _Pipeline Company, for a Site Specific Development Plan and an amended Special Review permit for an oil. and gas storage facility in the A (Agricultural) zone district be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval based upon the recommendation, conditions, and development standards presented -by the 1Department of Planning Services ' staff and the testimony heard by the Planning Commission. _Motion seconded by teAnn Reid.

CASE NUMBER: Amended USR-208 APPLICANT: Richard Bessee REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and an amended Special Review permit for expansion of an existing livestock confinement operation from 3,600 to 12,400 head of cattle in the Agricultural zone district LEGAL -DESCRIPTION: Part of the SE} of Section 24, and part of the NE} of Section 25, -'2N, R63W -of the -6th -P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: North and south of Weld County _toad 18, west of Weld County Road 73 LeAnn Reid, due to a conflict in interest, stepped down at this time. APPEARANCE: Tom Cope, Total -Engineering Service, represented this applicant. The original site tas been expanded to include additional pens on his property. The applicant is aware of being in noncompliance at this time. -Me existing permit is set up for 3,-600 head of -cattle. Their recuest is to -expand this 52,400 head of cattle and to use the property north of Weld County Road 18. Ann Garrison asked if a sprinkling system will be set up on both the existing and future pens to the keep the dust down. Richard Hessee stated the -existing pens do have over—head sprinkling systems, not only for the dust control for other people, _but also for the health of the cattle. 9C122-, Planning Commission Summary September 18, 1990 Page 4 Ann garrison asked about cleaning the tattle pens twice a year and where manure will be stored. Richard Hesse stated that the pens are cleaned in the spring and -fall. Zile run mff pond area on the 4west has a containment area xlesignated for piling for manure that would:meet health standards. Ann Oarrison asked where the hay gill be stored. Richard -Hessee stated that they ,will store the hay in two silage pits tm his property. Jerry :Kiefer wondered how many cattle are on his property at this time. Richard Hessee stated, at this time, there are 3,500 head of cattle. Tom Cope stated, that if this permit is granted, they will not expand the whole feedlot tomorrow. It is mbvious it will be sxpanded in several ysars in Aif£erent phases as it is needed. Jean Hoffman asked tow long he has been involved in the Feedlot. Richard Hessee stated that he has been in the feedlot business since 1-974. He is now operating a feedlot in Prospect that holds 3,O00 to 4,-000 head of cattle. Economics involved driving equipment and feedtrucks from this lot to the other lot is very costly. at would be-more beneficial to -him and ₹nis customers if he had the speratian in sne location. His prospect feedlot is rented on a year-to year bases. Lanell Curry stated that the applicant would not be allowed to record the plat which permits the four pens, or anything that would be north of 3+eld County Road 18, until the pond is -brought into compliance with the feedlot run mff -containment guidelines. The Department of planning Services started a zoning compliance hearing with Mr. Hessee with the County Commissioners to consider revocation of his original special use permit because the pens have been added. During that process with the County commissioners, the new application was submitted to apply to legalize those pens, as well as the expansion that he wants. The Commissioners put that process on hold until he can go through the Planning rommission, and with the Oommissioners to see if he could legalize what he does have and ghat he wants rto have in the future. The Lhairman called for :discussion from the audience. Dennis Lacen from Roggen, lives -north mf the facility, stressed his concerns regarding odor and -dust problems that already exist without adding to it. Planning Commission Summary September 18, 1990 Page 5 Steve Williamson, Attorney, representing the Shoeneman family, stated that their general con-cern that the two tributary wells that are on the family farm that were used to supply domestic and stock water for their operation became polluted by extremely ₹hi-gh ba-cteria -concentrated. They where forced to abandon those two wells and _drill another well at a high cost. Management and disposal of the manure that will _be generated and disposed _of by this _operation is of a great concern. _In summary, for the Shoeneman family, their -concerns are the surface and groundwater pollution, management _of the manure, _odor, flies, and inse-ct problem. Linda and Joel. Shoeneman, -Roggen, states that their main concern is water contamination. Joal and Zinda Shoeneman explained photographs »f ponds and its drainage _onto surrounding properties and its effect on their crops. _Other concerns are the odor, _lust, and insects. Mike S-hoeneman, L-afeyette, is -against the application due to the o3ors, and overflowing of the drainage ponds. Mika also stated the property valuation will drop. Marie -Buchholz, Roggen, stated that her land value is _cropping _due to the livestock confinement operation. Gerald Sigg, Roggen, he is opposed to this feedlot because of the odor, if the size of feedlot expands. Jackie Erker is concerned that a major _operation of that size gill change the quality of their lita due to the odor and flies. Paul Sigg, -Roggen, is concerned with the _odor and fly problem. Richard Parker, Roggen, agreeing -with other surrounding _property owners with the fly and odor problem, feels that it stems from the expansion of the feedlot. Kris Eell, _Littleton, stated her father -did object to _this proposal in 1973. Monte Price, representative from Colorado Interstate Gas Company, his concern is with the pipeline that runs across this _property. Colorado Interstate Gas -Company is _require-d to leak survey his system by air -or foot with a el-ectronics device. In this feedlot, it will not work. An agreement with the feedlot and _Color-ado Interstate -Gas Company woul-d need to be met before this application is approv_ed. Lanell Curry read the Planning Staffs' _recommendation to the Planning Commission. C19 .t . Planning Commission Summary September 18, 1990 Page 6 MOTION: Jean Hoffman moved that Case Number Amended USR-208, Richard Hessee _for a Site Specific Development plan and an amended Special Review permit for expansion of an existing livestock confinement operation from 3,600 to 12,400 head of cattle in the Agricultural zone district be denied. Motion seconded by -Ann Garrison for the following reason: 1. She proposal is not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.

The property is located in the Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin. The proposed water supply is two existing wells (Permit Nos. 15295-F and 17306-F) . Based upon an average water requirement of 11 gallons per head per day, it appears that these wells are permitted for sufficient water to supply this expansion. As long as the wells are operated in accordance with their permits, we can recommend approval . Sincerely, James C. McDanold, P.E.

Dear Commissioners : :rR Goa; bfSSiC� My business has been closely involved with Mr. Richard Hessee and Roggen Feed Lot since close to the time he acquired the facility one year ago. In my opinion, Roggen Feed Lot is an ideal location for expanded cattle feeding in Weld County since there are no major feed lots in the vicinity, there is an abundance of feed crops grown by farmers nearby, and that area of our county is needing good, long term, economic development. In the four or five trips I have made to Roggen Feed Lot during the past year, I have not noticed any strong odors, and would judge from my experience with other Weld County feed lots that odor and -sanitation are handled better than average. Corrals are always well scraped and not over crowded, which is good for both livestock health and the environment. Transportation costs are again on the increase which reduces the net return for feed producers . Locating feed lots closer to feed sources benefits farmers, consumers and others between. Mr. Hessee has proven to me that he is a -good businessman, and done so in a very short time. Now he intends to make a considerable investment that will take year to recover from his operation, indicating there is potential for long term economic benefits to southern Weld County. While I support the proposed expansion, I expect for myself and all Weld County residents that the project be done right. High nitrate levels in our soil and drinking water must be avoided. The planning and regulatory steps that are imposed must be followed through for the safety and health of everyone. I feel 901227 Cx hib�t �, confident that Mr. Hessee is a responsible person that will comply within the laws and requirements established. Thank you for your time.

The current holding pond does not appear to have the holding capabilities that are defined in Development Standard #4. Currently the holding pond discharges to a bar ditch and goes through a culvert under the road on the adjacent property to the east. Not only is this a violation of Development Standard #4, it is a violation of the Colorado Revised Statute 25-8-501, Discharging Without a Permit. Since new ponds are going to be constructed, and since the water level in the existing pond is required to be lowered to insure a 24 hour/25 year storm capacity, the liner could:be evaluated at that time. It is the position of this division that the pond liner be evaluated, rather than monitor for ground water contamination after the failure of the pond to protect against ground water pollution.

I have found their operation to be that of a quality cattle feeding business. I feel their attention to dust control , water run- off and general housekeeping is as good or better than compara- ble facilities in our county. I am presently involved in a search for equipment to improve affluent handling and general maintenance for the facility. This willingness on Richard Hessee' s part to make the financial commitment necessary to insure not only compliance but a "good neighbor policy" demonstrates a positive posture for the growth of Weld County businesses. I would hope your entire board will vote in the affirmative on the expansion request. Your positive attitude will insure the continued growth of what I consider to be a valuable industry in the area.

We strongly encourage the Board of County Commissioners to consider the undeniable benefit such expansion would have on the local and regional economy. The Colorado cattle industry, Colorado's largest single agricultural industry, supports cash receipts of cattle totalling $2.3 billion annually. Cattle feeders purchase 82 million bushels of corn annually or roughly 85% of the corn grown in Colorado. Additionally, Colorado cattle feeders purchase several million dollars worth of other feed products from Colorado agricultural producers annually. The direct economic impact of the Roggen Feedlot expansion would generate approximately $23 million in annual purchases alone. The multiplier effect reveals that for every dollar spent in salary, sales, purchases and miscellaneous expenditures, an additional $5 to $6 of business activity is generated in the farm supply, food, retail and other local and regional businesses. This equates to $115 million of economic development from the projected Roggen Feedlot expansion directly benefiting the local and regional economies. The Colorado Cattle Feeders Association encourages the Board to look favorably upon Mr. Hessee's application and balance the economic benefits in its determination.

In accordance with the Standard Methods for Drinking Water Analysis, your water was tested using a membrane filtration procedure. In this procedure, our laboratory looks for the presence of the coliform bacteria. The presence of coliform bacteria indicates the occurrence of fecal contamination in a water supply. Analysis of your water yielded the following results: TNTC OR CONFLUENT GROWTH - a result of TNTC or confluent growth (with or without coliforms) indicates an extremely heavy bacterial content in your water rendering it not fit for human consumption. Heavy bacterial growth can inhibit an accurate analysis in terms of actual fecal contamination. Disinfection of your wall is recommended with a follow-up test. If you have any further questions regarding your test results, you may contact this department at 353-0635.

You are required _to maintain enough capacity within your containment pond to hold runoff from the feedlot equal to the precipitation from a ten—year twenty—four—hour storm event. You must also restore the required capacity within 15 days of such an event. Your facility lacked the required capacity. You may want to evaluate the disposal of excess water from the stock watering tanks into the containment pond. 2. You are also required to operate wastewater control facilities as necessary to retain without discharge to state waters all process wastewater. It is evident that water from your containment pond has left your property. Steps need to be taken to assure that all wastewater is contained on your property and within your treatment system. A follow—up inspection will be made in the future to check your progress in addressing the above concerns. If you have questions on acceptable means of disposal of your excess stock water contact me, or the Permits and Enforcement Section (303) 331-4530. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

We live west of the existing operation and too many of our lovely Colorado days are spoiled by the odor from the cattle already there. If it is this bad with the present number of cattle, it would be intolerable to live near 12, 400 rattle, Our greatest concern at this time is our quality of life here for ourselves and our neighbors. We moved to this area five years ago after years of looking for the right spot, and we believe we found it . However, any increase in the feedlot operation will have a significant negative impact on our environment. We have not lived here for several generations as many of the families in this valley have, but chose to build our future here, and want to make it a nice place to live for ourselves, our children and grandchildren. Thank you in advance for the consideration you and your fellow commissioners may show us. Please vote as though you and your family lived out here.

Kirby, Weld County Commissioners 915 1Cth Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Kirby, as your know, December 12 is the hearing on the exnansion of the Roggen feedlot. We would like to voice our concern one more time. The first and foremost consideration in this matter should he the freedom from pollution of our ground water and croplands. Our water is our most precious commodity. Most of the residential and irrigation surface wells are 60-80 feet deep and therefore very susceptible to pollution. The nearest neighbor to this feedlot is Mrs. [Marie Buchholtz. The effluent overflow from this feedlot has ruined several acres of her farm for production or grazing. We feel that the present operation should be cleaned up and mechanical provisions be made to eliminate the ground pollution and smell. We ask that there is curtailment of any further plans for expansion. She is only one lady against corporate money and 12,400 cattle. It is our understanding that the Hesse operation is also utilizing the Kauffman feedlot west of Prospect Valley on State Hwy 52. We would ask that ,you have an indepth study done there as to what anti pollution standards are being met by this operator. The feedlot was started on a small basis and was well maintained for years as a family business without complaint. The past year under new ownership it has been poorly maintained, and to consider any expansion is distressing. The stench makes it very unpleasant to work or spend any time outside. We've read cosies of letters to the commissioners and find that the majority of the corrospondence in favor of the feedlot is not from local people. The Greeley National Bank, Kula Grain, Marquardt Erker, etc. are not our neighbors. They are only financial concerns that say this could he a viable endeavor. Their interest is purely financial. If it succeeds they don't care. If it doesn't succeed they will continue to prosper. They don't care. They are not a part of our neighborhood. We can't honestly believe anyone wants to live next door to a cesspool. Sincerely, SAC( }CI Steve & Jeanie Benson EPOS/ T AP • • • `'�" 1 " :,'; December 7 , 1?Q0 CLEC;; D0.7.11 Dear County Commissioners , As a land owner in the 5M Ranch Corporation . I have a great deal of concern about the Heffi proposed Expansion. It seems to me with all the promise of proposed profit and gain to the local farmers , we are loosing track of the real issues here . 1 . The South pens are already in building violation. 2 . Overflow of the ponds still continue at times . The overflow and the manure from the pens are contaminating the land near by and the underground water supply. 3 . The density of cattle in that small of an area is polutina the air in the community . If air was not so important , why did Denver put through a 10 year plan to clean it up for it ' s residents . If water were not so important, why are there Federal Laws to try to protect it from contamination . They are our most valuable resources . We dare not violate them ! Mr. Heffi and his Attorney seem to feel that all of Weld County stacks up at Weld County Road 73 and 18 . This places the feed lot directly over the underwater Aquafer for Roggen and Fort Morgan water supplies . I can assure you that Weld County has several hundred square miles of land outside that point . The original pens were just as large as the environment and the community could tolerate. The new South pens and the intended expansion will overpower the environment and community in the area, not enhancing it but , beginning the slow process of deterioration, distroying 2 to 3 generations of hard work and dreams . It seems strange to ne that one business should be given the chance to expand at the expense of the farms and rant-hes that have been in place for over 40 years , many of whom are 2nd and 3rd generation farms . We ask you , the Commissioners , and Mr . Heffi to locate a more suitable site . Sincerily, 4-22 Michelle Miller P . O.

The fly control at Ttoggen Feedlot is excellent and better than most in Weld County. They use a combination of spray and bait, and also -control the -amount of manure _piled around the feedlot. Dust is held to a minimum by using automatic sprayers in the _pens and by spray- ing eround the alleys. The only dust problem I 've noticet is from the Bounty Road that runs through the middle of the feedlot. Today the small feeder has two options if he wants to compete with the larger operations - he can -either expand or stay small and starve. In this county that depends on agriculture so much, I can't believe that this feedlot could be turned down on the -expansion question. This feedlot is an integral _part of Raggen, Colorado's -economy and -a larger feedlot can only -expand the local economy. In conclusion, ty expanding this feedlot Mr. Hesse will -not only help himself, but help the local and regional economies. These very great positives more than outweigh -any minor objectives.

Dear Commissioners : My business has been closely involved with Mr. Richard Hessee and Roggen Feed Mot since close to the time he acquired the facility one year ago. In my opinion, Roggen Feed Lot is an ideal location for expanded cattle feeding in Weld County since there are no major _feed lots in the vicinity, there is an abundance of feed crops grown by farmers nearby, and -that area of our county is needing good, long term, economic development. In the _four yr -five trips I have made to Roggen Feed Lot during the past year, I have not noticed Any strong odors, and would judge from my experience with other Weld County feed lots that odor and Sanitation are landled better than average. Corrale are always well scraped and not over crowded, which is stood _for both livestock health and the environment. Transportation costs are again on the increase which reduces the net return for Feed producers. Locating feed lots closer to feed sources benefits farmers, consumers and othere tetween. Mr. _lessee has proven to me that he is a goon businessman, and done so in a very short time. Now he intends to make a considerable investment that will take years to recover from his operation, indicating there is potential for long term economic benefits to southern Weld County. While I support the proposed expansion, I expect _for myself and all Weld County residents that the project lee done right. High nitrate levels in our soil and Axinking water must be avoided. The planning and regulatory steps that are imposed must _7e followed through for the safety and health of everyone. I feel 901227 confident that Mr. Hessee is a responsible person that will comply within the laws and requirements established. Thank you for your time.

Our business requires the establishment of alternative markets for the consumption of feed grains. We feel that the expansion of the Roggen Feed Lot would help us to better market the commodities we receive from area farming interests. I would also like to bring up the point that we seek to increase economic markets by bringing into the area beef packing houses. These firms employ families in this area which would greatly profit from the expansion of this feedlot. In view that this expansion has the potential of effecting not only the Roggen area but surrounding areas, I would strongly support the proposed expansion of the Roggen Feed Lot.

As of 7-1-90, they have incorporated under the name of Roggen Feed Lot, Inc. The operation has been very successful in establishing and maintaining a strong customer base. Because of this demand, there is a need to expand the feed yard facility. FirsTier Bank is supportive of this plan, as the corporation and its managementare very capable of taking on this expansion. Roggen Feed Lot, Inc. will continue to generate tax revenues for the county and state, along -with establishing a strong employee base.

(303) 482-0911 October 2, 1990 To: Weld County Commissioners I am writing on behalf of Richard Hessee, the manager of Roggen Feedlot in Roggen, Colorado. It was brought to my attention they are applying for a permit to expand their present facilities. After visiting their operation I feel it would be a welcomed expansion for Weld County. Waterford Corporation is a manufacturer of fence for agriculture. Due to the nature of our business we have the opportunity to visit many farms, feedlots, dairies and ranches. The feedlot is run very well by Richard Hessee, who has both his customers and the concern of being a good neighbor to the community in mind. Needless to say the economic returns to Weld county in the state of Colorado are quite significant. With the expansion they will employ ten full time employees plus seasonal help with a projected payroll of 4300,000 annually. Another benefit is this is a custom operation bringing investor dollars in from outside Weld County and provides a market for local crops. It would be hard for me to believe the Commissioners in Weld County would not look favorably on such an expansion because of the long term positive impact to the county and community of Roggen.

As they have been a customer of our Bank, in good Standing, for one year and also an asset to our area we feel expansion, on their part, would benefit not only the farmers with an added market for their commodities, but also create more jobs in our area. Considering the above facts, we hope you will look upon their expan- sion favorably. Sincerely, Rob A. Pip in RAP/dd County Commissioners: I would like to pass on my thoughts concerning your granting an expansion permit to the Roggen Feed Lot. First, their present facilities are kept neat and clean, and to my knowledge very little disease problems. Second, this expansion is a very vital concern to this areas economic develop- ment, both from the additional labor force it will provide and a good source for the farmers grain in the area. With the depressed European grain markets, we have to look for other alternatives to lower our reserve. Third, a recent study conducted by United Power, Inc. in conjunction with the State of Colorado on an ethanol plant, indicates that a plant of this nature would be suitable in the Southern part of Weld County. What better location than where Roggen Feed Lot is situated. there is a large gas plant next to them as a heating source, and just to the North is the Roggen Farmers Elevator to be used for the grain supplies. This plant would serve no purpose unless an adequate size feed lot was there to handle the by-product. With the addition to Roggen Feed Lot, I believe this would serve this facility adequately. Please take these items under consideration in making your decision, and think of the future rather than what might happen tomorrow. A Concerned Citizen, Gary r octobe_r 3, 1990 Weld County Commissioners Centennial Building Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re : Proposed Expansion of the Roggen Feed Lot To the Board : I would like to state my views on the proposed expansion of the. Roggen Feed Lot . I am living in the northeast corner of Section 25 approximately three-quarters of one mile (to the vest) of the Feed Lot . I have lived here since 19"75, being neighbors to the builders and to the subsequent owners of the existing feed lot . My family has been ranching and farming in this area for over one hundred years . During the past fifteen years I have never had any great problems with smell or with the insects that are generally associated with this type of business . I feel, because of the feed lot, this area has an alternative market for livestock and feed grains . This is advantageous due to reduced transportation costs to livestock markets such as Brush, or Greeley. Grain markets even if sold in Roggen or Keenesburg always have a cost of transportation deducted from the Denver or Kansas City price to the farmer . The feed lot is offering a trus market that reduces or eliminates these transpor- tation costs . The feed lot contributes to the local economy for parts, supplies and services needed to run their operation. The local area will also gain valuable employment opportunities if the feedlot is expanded . I also feel that the current owners will be an asset to the community and that they will be diligent in the management of the feedlot in matters of smell and insect abatement . In summary, we think the feed lot is an asset to the economy in this area, we would like to have the expansion allowed . Sincerely, ‘,7-4gie, yredta R .

I farm immediately beside the Feed Lot, and I have not noticed any bad smells or an increase in the fly population this year . I also am in favor of the establishment of another market for farm commodities in the area. I would like for you to look favorably upon the expansion, for we do live in an agricultural area and the feed lot is a part of agricultural .

I rtlfl_._. cattle buyer i:car Excel a beef packing currently a _ interest located with plants in Colorado. I have in my rounds as a cattle buyer seen all types and sizes of feed lutes, and I feel that the lot at Ruggen is one of the neater and cleaner lots that I have seen. I feel that the Roggen feedlot has very adequate du+rt control and more than adequate fly control . This control factor is vital so that the cattle do not stt;.:.y-..er from respi.tor_.y ailments brought can by dust, or are aggravated by flies as this effects t•t're final product. I feel t.hat in the expansion o+ the feed lot that this quality of env i r. nomental. control will not faul.ter but with tFie-_ ef=fort: shown so far by the Rorfgen Feed Lots, and the Hes:see' s quite possibly mi.ght. improve. Sincerely, �) / J `—// ?C G37 Nick McDougall October 1 , 1990 Weld County Board of Commissioners Attn: Gene Brantner , Chairman Re: Roggen Feeders Expansion Request Dear Gene, Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to visit the existing Roggen Feedlot facility a number of times . I have found their operation to be that of a quality cattle feeding business . I feel their attention to dust control, water run- off and general housekeeping is as good or better than compara- ble facilities in our county. I am presently involved in a search for equipment to improve affluent handling and general maintenance for the facility. This willingness on Richard Hessee' s part to make the financial commitment necessary to insure not only compliance but a "good neighbor policy" demonstrates a positive posture for the growth of Weld County businesses . I would hope your entire board will vote in the affirmative on the expansion request. Your positive attitude will insure the continued growth of what I consider to be a valuable industry in the area.

Buchholz 7640 Weld County Road 73 Roggen, Colorado 80652 Re: Roggen Feedlot • Dear Mrs. Buchholz: This letter confirms your discussions with Clyde Edgar, on behalf of the Roggen Feedlot, to lease or purchase property owned by you which in the past has been affected by runoff from the feedlot holding pond. .We understand that because of a most unfortunate illness in your family, you do not desire to consider Mr. Edgar's offer at this time. Please consider Mr. Edgar's good faith offer as ongoing. You previously raised a concern regarding property values. The feedlot is formally offering to purchase or lease the subject property at either the 1973 or 1990 values. This offer is made in order to alleviate any loss in property value that may have occurred as a result of Mr. Hessee's predecessors building the feedlot. While Mr. Hessee has only been in the area for approximately one year, he wants to become an integral part of the community and be a good neighbor. Again, we are very sorry to hear about your son. Mr. Hessee sincerely regrets the feedlot runoff and requests you consider the above offer at your convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact me, Mr. Hessee or Mr. Edgar if you have any questions or if we can be of any further assistance. Very truly yours, GRANT, McHE DRIE, HAINES & CROUSE, P.C. Michael W.

THE ODOR that comes from the present feed lot is extremely offensive , Mrs . Shoeneman cannot hang laundry out to dry because it absorbs the odor . The odor permeates our home furnishings when the windows are left open in the summer . In fact , during the summer months it is not usually possible to leave the south windows open to enjoy the evening breezes because of the stench . 2 . THE DUST that is stirred up by the cattle when the weather is dry causes a severe dust problem . This dust also ends up at our home when the breeze is from the south . 3 . THE FLY POPULATION has also increased substantially mince the construction of additional corrals by the previous owner . Enjoying a meal outside on our patio is seldom possible . We kno,,a that this problem does not stem from our own cattle as they are out in the pasture during the summer months . The high concentration of flies also means an increase in the possibility of transferring disease from incoming feedlot cattle to our cattle . 4 . CONTAMINATION--Mr . Hesse 's containment pond has been overflowing all summer into the field east of the pond . i�.cithai he no i.:; einptu'/e. s have made any ef. ort to c;...) tri.>i this problem . We had no significant moisture from March until the 10th of July and the overflow was seen by us beginning around the first. of June . If the feedlot is expanded it will be very close to the Sand Creek which carries water through our ranch all summer . We do not want sludge and ammonia water from the corrals running in this creek . Mr . Hesse claims to have made provisions for this 1-77 -7::: - L.. I I t eili b. Aatrcutp .Atslits:S l. problem but has no hown , to us , that he can intain his current problems . 5. PRESERVATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD- as stated in your guidelines , Section 24 .3 . 1 .7 , there must be adequate provision for "the health , safety , and welfare of the inhabitants of the NEIGHBORHOOD" . It is our concern that these provisions may appear- on paper but not actually be carried out in a responsible manner . Also the " neighborhood " is zoned agricultural but the expansion of the feedlot is going to destroy the QUALITY OF LIFE that we had before the extra pens were added to the feedlot by Mr . Boggs( previous owner ) . 6 . PROPERTY VALUES of our ranch stand to decrease substantially if the feedlot is expanded because no one wants to live near an odorous operation . We have a lovely home and should we decide to sell for any reason , we could not hope to get much for the house as people do not want to move into an area inundated by smell , flies , and dust . In closing we feel that you should deny the request for Special Use Permit . Our "neighborhood" does not want the feedlot expanded and it is our contention that even if Mr . Hesse meets your requirements , He has not demonstrated the capability to run and manage the existing operation . Because the "neighborhood" does not want the expansion should be reason enough for denial . The RIGHTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD should not be overlooked . • T' r" / L-1'i• fI 3 C :' , t-� Joel Shoeneman Linda A .

I am against further development AT THIS LOCATION for the following reasons : -Reminding you of what Mr. Hesse ' s attorney said at the last hearing - we have a sort of "knob effect" here. (Because of the topography of the feed lot, pollution drains away on every side. ) To the EAST, Mrs. Buchholz -landowner, has 5 acres already polluted and rendered usless. To the NORTH, the head water and flow of Sand Creek that brings storm run off several times a year directly through the feed lot property thus pollution downstream. To the WEST, gas company lines which must be checked for leaks and cannot be if the expansion of the feedlot goes through. To the SOUTH -immediate neighbors, (Shoeneman 5 M Ranch) who will receive the pollution within 1/2 mile downstream from lot. -The area is already very condensed. A rural neighborhood with several families within 1 mile of current lot. Expansion will increase truck and service traffic by over 3 fold thus safety of children and others becomes an issue The current operation includes 2 illegal pens already. -The Hesse owned land -is not sufficient to take care of anticipated pollution and refuse from an expanded feed lot. -Mr. Hesse ' s inefficient management of the existing feed lot since Nov. ' 89 has resulted in: -pollution of neighbors crop ground -downstream pollution of family well water -poor fly and dirt control -capturing and illegally holding Mr. Shoeneman' s cattle with a $5, 000 ransom even against the direct order of the sheriff to release them. -lack of immediate correction of pollution runoff . -examples of an insincere effort to conform with state statutes from the water department as presented at • last hearing. /t SCy2027 Not as a supply business in Ft. Collins or Boulder or a contracted employee but as a concerned 5M Corporation landowner in the immediate area, I implore you to consider the above information in making a determination on Mr. Hesse ' s permit. There are locations in the area more suited to his intentions that could give him what he wants and will not make a rural getto out of this already very condensed area. Thank you for your time and effort on this matter. Kindest Regards, l (c „z„---76' {_ 1E Christine K. Bell , Landowner 5M Corporation 9C1227 d .8% ;; � � Strand Nordstrom Staifeg.Parker, Inc: j Insurance —Bonding December 1990 Weld County Commissioners Greeley, CO Dear Commissioners, I am opposed to the proposed expansion of the feedlot owned by Mr. Hesse. He has not shown good faith in complying with the Health Department requirements to clean up his operation. His owned land is not capable of absorbing the increased cattle volume let alone the pollution problems. Mr. Hesse ' s attitude toward compliance with law and order is suspect when he refused to obey a sheriffs deputy in releasing cattle to their rightful owner. He attempted unsuccessfully to to charge an exorbitant fee for these cattle. This man does not seem to have: 1. Respect for law and order. 2. Consideration for his neighbors 3. The land that would accommodate this expanded project. 4. An environmental plan to accommodate animal waste and other pollution incident to a feed lot ' s operation. Let him expand in other locations that would hams appropriate area to accept an operation of his size away from south Roggen. Sincerely, 00A;(432 � �Q David E.

In 14 - J 1V Martin Shoeneman South Star Route Lyons , CO 80540 December 4 , 1990 Dear Commissioners: I own property one half mile North of the proposed feedlot expansion , requested by Richard Hesse . The hearing will be on Dec . 12 , 1990 . 1 . It would be too congested for the area he has . 2 . It immediately borders Sand Creek on the West and a major county road an the East . 3 . There are high water periods with water running bank level at least once a year and usually more than that . There were 7 of these occurrences in 1989 alone . 4 . The washing away of the already existing residue has caused a stream of green slimy algae to run down the ditch through our farm , showing severe contamination . This has to be present both above and below the ground . This surface contamination is a definite hazard to our livestock . 5 .according to "Ground Water Resources of the Lost Creek Drainage Basin" , by Nelson , Hayley and Peters and Quirk-- THE DRAINAGE OF SAND CREEK IS DIRECTLY TOWARD ROGGEN . Eventually this contaminated water will hit town properties . 6 . If feedlots are "a major source of business revenue " for Weld County--as stated by Hesse `s Attorney , then let 's deal with this situation in a business like manner . This means abiding by the rules and regulations of the county . 7 . The government and society presently demand stricter performance regulations . This means we should shoulder our responsibilities and do our part- not compound the problem . 8 . There are alternatives--areas away from population and water pollution where he can expand to any size . 10 . Hesse ` s past record of operation practices right here in the community shows continued disregard for health concerns and county regulations .

We cannot facilitate a feedlot this size in the proposed area of expansion . Also , we cannot trust an individual who in only one year has VIOLATED COUNTY HEALTH REGULATIONS 3 TIMES . To date there are twice as many cattle in the feedlot than originally permitted for . The pond is again filling up and about to run over . I have to wonder what will happen if the expansion occurs . Sand Creek borders the proposed expansion on the West and North . This water runs for at least 6 months of the year . With this man' s management practices , water carried diseases are a very real problem . He imports cattle form all over with various diseases and the threat of our cattle and cattle down stream contracting these diseases is very real . To date , he has shown that he is not capable of handling his sludge problems and this will only compound with the expansion . Mr . Hesse has demonstrated: 1 . No concern about the community surrounding his feedlot 2 . Is impervious to the County Health Regulations It is my belief that his engineering plans look good on paper but a poor track record of operation illustrates otherwise . His inadequate animal waste program will only be the tip of the iceberg to continuing problems of this • feedlot . There are other locations , better suited for a lot this size . Sincerely , cc : Wes Potter George Kennedy 9C1227 7 RICHARD PARKER • 36296 WCR 18 ROGGEN. COLORADO 80652 (303) 849-5328 t v I i December 9 , 1990 Weld County Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am unable to take yet another day off from work to attend this week ' s hearing regarding Richard Hesse and the Roggen Feedlot . However , my position remains unchanged and I urge you to vote against the proposed expansion. You have heard and will hear more promises that all will be well if expansion is approved but based on past performance there is no indication that this is correct . Remember that their solution to the overflowing pond was to pump the waste water into areas that the pond was supposed to protect in the first place . If the feedlot is expanded we will simply have that attitude multiplied with little or no recourse for correcting the damage . Sometimes decisions must be based on performance rather than promises . What good are all the rules and regulations that pertain to these matters if they are ignored in practice? I bear no animosity towards Mr . Hesse or his pursuits . However, this feedlot expansion is a bad idea in the wrong place. Now is the time to vote against and disapprove the Roggen Feedlot expansion proposal . Sincerely, /1-tde— pen en lice, i Dec . 4 , 1990 Jim Jakel 36716 WCR 22 ROGGEN , CO 80652 Commissioners= There are not many situations of county growth I am opposed to but to allow a feedlot of this size in the cramped area proposed , would in my estimation , be a mistake . I am opposed to this expansion because I have noticed a lack of concern for surrounding neighbors and what seems to be poor operating and management practices . I am also concerned about water contamination because Sand Creek runs through our place . We have several varieties of animals and I do not, want water born diseases to contaminate my livestock . I hope you will not allow the proposed expansion .

I have recently moved into a house located on the Shoeneman Ranch. This house is located only 300-400 yards northeast of the north boundry of the proposed expansion. Already, even in cool, "window-shut" , weather we experience plenty of odor. We would not wish to live here were this expansion allowed. All the time we have lived here Mr. Hessee has been allowed to run roughshod over the building codes of this county in continual use of the south pens of his feedlot. I personally know they have been in full use since June. If these codes cannot be enforced and properly regulated by your administration on 3,500 head, how can you claim to be able to keep Mr. Hessee within any type of guidlines on 12,000 head? Respectfully, Dennis Lacen 8540 WCR 73 Roggen, CO 80652 849-5616 9O:227 -, ' 7 Lauri Klausner 7501 WCR 77 Roggen, CO 80652 , . . .. _ Attn: `Meld County Commissioners: Res Proposed expansion of the Roggen Feedlot It has been documentedthwt Mr. Richard Hessey has diverted augmented water. Hessey has knowingly kept two unpermitted pens in operation during his two years of management and, in that time, hasn't attempted to bring them into compliance. He has allowed his containment pond to over-flow in violation of an imposed flood plan--no fines were levied against him. Hessey wants an expansion permit, then, he says he'll 'do anything you ask.' If he is denied this permit, will he be compelled to bring his present operation up-to-code? You (i.e. commissioners) simply side-tracked this issue. How many times will Hessey be able to procure an expansion permit? And if not him, the next owner or, the next? I ask you and Mr. Hessey when is big, big enough? It is hard to believe that the original intent of this 'family-owned' feedlot could become an engulfing enterprise, nutting a stranglehold on the neighborhood that I know. A registered voter and property owner, Xatai Lauri Klausner 901227 December 6, 1990 County Commissioners ' Office 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 ATTENTION: Hesse Feedlot To the Board: As a party who has a business interest in property lying adjacent to the proposed Hesse Feedlot, I feel it necessary to express my opinion and concern over this project. As this Board is a representative of the people, I consider it your duty to weigh the consequences of allowing the proposed feedlot to become a reality. We are not only looking at the neighbors that live in close proximity of this project but also the future generations who will live on the land as well as the numbers that either now or will be receiving the benefits of this land, one of which is water from the aquifer that currently flows beneath this proposed feedlot. Mr. Hesse has lived in the community for a little over a year which is enough time for him to prove his stewardship conduct, i.e. , concern for neighbors rights and health, environmental and property upkeep and protection. To date, he has not shown a conscious effort to make the commumity a better place to live and grow. We live in a time in which we must be concerned with the natural _resources we have remaining. Mr. Hesse doesn' t seem to be too concerned with the resources he has available as is shown by his careless use of fresh water (overrunning stock tanks at the rate of 20 gallons per minute per stock tank as stated by Mr. Hesse) and the avoidance of treating a health hazard in the raw sewage that was allowed to flow freely all summer long onto a neighbor ' s property rendering it totally useless for farming. To pollute not only a neighbor' s property but also the aquifer which is the water source for many hundreds of people and animals alike is unaccept- able as is the possible pollution of Sand Creek which runs along the proposed feedlot. 90,;1227 County Commissioners December 6, 1990 Page two How can it be said that he will complete a site that will comply with all the necessary standards when he hasn't even met the standards on the small lot he has now and has had over a year to bring it into compliance. What certainty can you provide that he will maintain proper waste disposal--he hasn' t been effective so far. What are you going to do to preserve natural resources that remain and provide pollution controls for the future? I believe we must begin now if we hope to have a future and that means setting up regulations for ample space for an operation the size Mr. Hesse has proposed with appropriate sewage and waste facilities with NO possible chance of contamination. As your position is one that has the ability of determining future controls and benefits, please consider the outcome of your decision for years down the road and generations to come. Move this feedlot elsewhere where there is no threat of contamination and it can be serviced in a proper manner with appropriate room to grow. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The present operator has more cattle than he is supposed to have and a pollution problem is existing because of his poor management in the last year . He has operated on what I would term "poor housekeeping " methods and Z don 't think he will operate an expansion any better . e Ai.

The hearing will be on Dec . 12 , 1990 . 1 . It would be too congested for the area he has . 2 . It immediately borders Sand Creek on the West and a major county road an the East . 3 . There are high water periods with water running bank level at least once a year and usually more than that . There were 7 of these occurrences in 1989 alone . 4 . The washing away of the already existing residue has caused a stream of green slimy algae to run down the ditch through our farm , showing severe contamination . This has to be present both above and below the ground . This surface contamination is a definite hazard to our livestock . 5 .according to "Ground Water Resources of the Lost Creek Drainage Basin" , by Nelson , Hayley and Peters and .Quirk-- THE DRAINAGE OF SAND CREEK IS DIRECTLY TOWARD ROGGEN . Eventually this contaminated water will hit town properties . 6 . If feedlots are "a major source of business revenue " for Weld County--as stated by Hesse `s Attorney , then let 's deal with this situation in a business like manner . This means abiding by the rules and regulations of the county . 7 . The government and society presently demand stricter performance regulations . This means we should shoulder our responsibilities and do our part-not compound the problem . 8 . There are alternatives--areas away from population and water pollution where he can expand to any size . 10 . Hesse`s past record of operation practices right here in the community, shows continued disregard for health concerns and county regulations . • 1 / �J Q.r f�r� ),i //r) 7raS:L.r '/ W C ..i Total Engineering Service N NM 3310 State Street Evans, CO 80620 (303) 339-5215 December 4, 1990 Ms. Lanell Curry Weld County Dept. of Planning -Services 1950 �915 10th StreetI]) Greeley, CO 80631 Weld Co. PIiIDlllifl elll7(IDlyiaIIU Re: Roggen Feedlot Dear Lanell: In our November 28, 1990 meeting we discussed the changes made to the layout plan for the above referenced project. The only changes made to the site plan related to the increased size and location of the containment ponds, as I showed you. The increased pond sizes will allow the applicant to fully contain and control the annual precipitation and twenty-five year storm event as required by the Guidelines of Feedlot Runoff Containment Facilities. The changes shown are intended to meet the County Commissioner's concerns which were raised in the hearing conducted on October 10, 1990. In our telephone conversation of November 30, 1990 I understood the following: you have met with your supervisor, Chuck Cunliff, to discuss these changes and the Weld County Planning Staff has determined the changes are not considered a major change to the Amended Use by Special Review permit as submitted by this office. Therefore, Mr. Hessee may proceed with the application underway. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns on this matter.
