Harbert, Chairman Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem - Excused Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Dale K. Hall Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison Planning Department representative, Greg Thompson The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated August 16, 1993, and duly published August 19, 1993, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a topping unit in the I-3 (Industrial) Zone District. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Greg Thompson, Planning Department representative, entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. He stated he has been working with Drew Scheltinga, County Engineer, and Gerrity on a road maintenance agreement and suggested Condition of Approval #6 be added requiring the applicant to enter into said agreement for maintenance of Weld County Road 41. Ken Wonstolen, representing the applicant, stated the topping unit will allow distillation processing of natural gas and high quality crude oil. He explained Denver takes only limited amounts of "light" and/or "sweet" crude; therefore, there is a need for this type of facility in the area. If allowed to construct the facility, Gerrity will process 4,000 barrels per day of its own crude using the distillation process, which removes the naphtha and diesel. Distillation of these products will be a local benefit because there is no current wholesale supply of diesel for the farm community. Bill Hamilton, Hamilton Engineering, explained the schematic design of the operation which covers six acres. He also explained the process used to stop pollution and noted the storage tanks have dikes and cover material, which prevents contamination in case of spillage. Mr. Hamilton said the facility was designed above ground to allow for discovery of leaks and explained the vapor recovery system located on all tanks and the loading rack which handles odors. He noted, according to the State, said system is 96 to 99 percent efficient. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Wonstolen said the heater unit is a natural gas heater, and Mr. Hamilton said there would be emissions at 24.9 tons per year, which is very low. Mr. Hamilton also indicated there are no other facilities of this type in the area, and there are no odors. He explained the leak detection system and quarterly reporting involved. Mr. Wonstolen explained fugitive emissions and the regulations to which the facility must adhere. He also indicated they received the initial signing of their State permit. In response to a question from Chairman Harbert, Mr. Wonstolen said there will be 50 to 75 trucks per day and noted the Planning Commission did not cite need for acceleration/deceleration lanes. He indicated he reviewed the latest draft of the agreement yesterday consisting of joint review to assess the current condition of the road. Chairman Harbert reiterated the need for 930883 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - GERRITY OIL AND GAS CORPORATION PAGE 2 acceleration/deceleration lanes with that many trucks. Mr. Thompson reviewed the recommendation of Don Carroll, Engineering Department, and said, pursuant to State standards, the lanes are not needed. Chairman Harbert stated further concerns about the road becoming a major access to the new airport. Mr. Hamilton said the facility is at the very end of the 40 acres on Road 41; therefore, the trucks will have to slow down to make the corner. Mr. Thompson noted there is a hill on Road 41 from Road 28, and the site is less than one-half mile from Road 28. He confirmed, on behalf of Commissioner Kirkmeyer, there is heavy industrial use on the road; however, he does not have the traffic count. In response to questions from Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Hamilton indicated the facility will help the diesel price locally because there will be less trucking costs. Mr. Wonstolen explained a proposed water treatment facility which they are looking into using; and, in response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer concerning Development Standard #28, he explained the preliminary testing done and the monitoring well constructed on the southeast corner of the parcel, which indicate no ground water below the site. He said there was also a search done on the surrounding domestic water wells. Mr. Hamilton said there would be no chance of ground water contamination because of the cement foundations with drainage surrounding the loading rack. Mr. Wonstolen suggested amending Condition of Approval #8 concerning odor complaints by removing the words "a significant number of" and replacing them with the word "credible". Mr. Thompson, after obtaining the results of the traffic count via telephone conversation with Mr. Carroll, said there were 673 vehicles on Road 41 between Roads 20 and 28. John Hockmiller, surrounding property owner, said he is not against the facility; however, he is concerned about who would pay for a clean up, if necessary. He also stated concerns about odor and the heavy traffic on Road 41 and stressed the need for acceleration/deceleration lanes. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Morrison commented on the bond being requested by Mr. Hockmiller, and Mr. Hockmiller stated further concerns about spill cleanup, contamination, and the need for a bond so taxpayers do not have to foot the bill. Jerry Jamison, surrounding property owner and owner of Tire Mountain, agreed the proposal is a good idea, but also stated concerns and reiterated the need for acceleration/deceleration lanes because of the intensity and weight of traffic. He commented on road maintenance and the necessity of a bond. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Wonstolen said traffic comes from both north and south, and discussion ensued concerning widening the road into four lanes to provide acceleration/deceleration lanes on both sides. Mr. Wonstolen said they have bonding as required by the Oil and Gas Commission, as well as a letter of financial assurance of which they can provide a copy; however, he feels they should not be subject to special bonding. He answered further questions from the Board concerning reclamation and stated he has no cost estimates for financing the acceleration/deceleration lanes. Mr. Morrison recalled the lanes for the landfill on Highway 14 were approximately $150,000 and made further comments on the bonding issue which would not be appropriate without an anticipated expense. He said the bond, if desired, would need to be narrowly focused; for example, a bond for dismantling and clean up would need to include the value of the equipment. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Morrison explained the burden of determining the amount of the bond would be on the applicant and then reviewed by staff for adequacy. He said it would be difficult to project because the closure is unsure. Mr. Wonstolen said there is no closure plan other than following the recommendation of the Platte Valley Soil Conservation for reclamation, as with any other facility. He reiterated the value of equipment would need to be considered if dismantled. In response to questions from Commissioner Hall, Mr. Hamilton said any leftover product would be marketable, and Mr. Wonstolen confirmed that all Development Standards and Conditions of Approval were agreeable since Development Standards #8 and #28 had been discussed. Commissioner Hall reiterated the need for acceleration/deceleration lanes and suggested 930883 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - GERRITY OIL AND GAS CORPORATION PAGE 3 adding such requirement as a Condition of Approval. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the request of Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a topping unit in the 1-3 (Industrial) Zone District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record, and the addition of Condition of Approval #6 concerning the requirement of acceleration/deceleration lanes and the suggested change in language of Development Standard #8. Mr. Thompson questioned whether the requirement included turn lanes, and Mr. Morrison clarified it would include all four turning movements. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, who suggested the Engineer write the requirements for Condition of Approval #6. [Clerk to the Board's note: The abovementioned Condition of Approval #6 will actually be Condition of Approval #5 in the Resolution of the Board of Commissioners due to the deletion of Condition of Approval #3, which was met prior to scheduling before the Board, in the Planning Commission's Resolution. ] After Chairman Harbert explained that if said vote resulted in a tie, Commissioner Webster would review the record and cast the deciding vote, the motion carried unanimously. This Certification was approved on the 8th day of September, 1993. /^I APPROVED:adn ATTEST: �� BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS rrll WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to he Board By: / �g� c Constance L.

Our responses correlate to the item numbers on a an information packet provided by Garrity addressed to Mr. Trevor Jiricek of Environmental Protection Services . Please find this information packet inclosed. 7) . We highly recommend a pond liner for the following reasons : a. This area is very sandy, and subject to rapid permeability. As leaching from the pond occurs, Sodium, Chloride and part of the remaining 10% of the BOD, Hydrocarbons, Oil and Grease that is captured in the pond has the potential to also leach out of this pond. Especially the Sodium and the Chloride, have the potential to leach down to the nearest clay layer, approximately 14 feet, and follow that layer until it reaches the soil surface again, thus creating a perched water table . b. Sodium and Chloride have the ability to bond to the soil' s structure, forever altering the fertility and general make-up of the soils in the areas surrounding this pond. c . According to the well log of this area, there are domestic wells within one mile of this site that are as shallow as twenty-five feet . These wells can be adversely affected by the perched water table as described above in item a. 10) . The accumulated solid waste must be disposed of at an industrial landfill and not spread over this site as the original plan indicated. 24) . An adequate fence must be constructed around the entire site to keep wildlife out of the area . Wildlife will flock to this site, as it is the only body of water available for at least a one-mile radius . There is no question that the contaminants in the pond would affect E,ch; 930883 wildlife in an adverse way. Please see the Brighton Soil Conservation Service for fencing material recommendations . Carolyn Rogers, Rae Obrey, Randy Randall and Donna Allart from the Brighton Soil Conservation Service where consulted on the above recommendation. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions . Thank-you.

August 9, 1993 via facsimile 1-3564966 Mr. John Milligan Environmental Protection Services Weld County Department of Health 1517 16th Avenue Court Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re: Odor Abatement Plan Dear John: The following is the Odor Abatement Plan for the Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation Topping Unit (USR-1022). Thank you for your prompt consideration: Odor Abatement Plan for USR-1022 Project Description A topping unit utilizes a basic distillation process to convert crude oil into various residual fuel products. This small facility will be used to convert Gerrity condensate into diesel fuel, jet fuel and naphtha to serve the Eastern Colorado and Southern Wyoming markets. The area needed for the unit is the South 1/2 of the South 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 32 of T3N, R65W. Condensate will be transported to the facility from various Gerrity wells and housed in holding tanks. The oil is then treated by a two-step distillation process that is performed by natural gas-fired boilers. There are no chemical catalysts used in the process. The products are then stored temporarily in tanks until picked up by tanker trucks. The system is completely self-enclosed, meaning that none of the feedstock or products will be exposed to the atmosphere. The topping unit is relatively small in structure and simple in configuration. The unit will consist of several tanks(forty feet in diameter, thirty feet in height), two distillation "towers" (approximately 30 feet in height) and a series of product storage tanks. An earth or concrete dike will be built around the storage tanks to prevent any uncontained spills. Also, a loading rack and small office will be located on the site. The area required for the entire facility is under ten acres. • 4100 East Mississippi Avenue Suite 1200 Denver.Colorado 80222 p ppq Fax 303 757.1197 930883 Telephone 303 757.1110 e0 'd L6IIL9L£0£ 'ON XUd SU9 'B 110 AlINN30 l2:91 NOW £6-60-9110 200'393d L5TTLSL£0£ TZ:ST £6. 6 one Weld County Department of Health August 9, 1993 Page 2 Vapor Recovery System A small amount of vapors may be released at the loading rack or at the storage area. A vapor recovery system will be implemented to collect all such vapors. The system consists of a compressor that senses the overall pressure of system and initiates a vacuum force when such pressure is reduced. The fumes are collected in vapor lines attached to each truck and each storage tank and are then transported into the fuel system for the • heater. The net result of this process is that no vapors are emitted into the atmosphere. In fact, the only emissions associated with the topping unit that may escape are termed "fugitive" emissions and are accounted for in the APEN letter which was forwarded to you. Odor Response In the event of a spill at the loading rack, all materials will drain to sump and will be piped to the storage area. If a storage tank ruptures all contents of the tank will be temporarily contained in the bermed area. Pumps installed in each bermed area will pump the contents to the crude storage tank and the contents will be recirculated through the topping unit.

Division 1, W. District 2 Dear Mr. Thompson: We have reviewed the above referenced application to operate a topping unit on a 10 acre parcel. No information was provided on the projected number of employees or water requirements. The proposed water supply is to be from hauled water or a well. The application does include evidence of ownership of a decreed water right for the Webb Well No. 1, which was decreed in Division 1 Water Court Case No. W-6887, for irrigation of 20 acres in the SE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 32. This well has a 1972 decree date and can only be operated when in priority or under a plan for augmentation. There is water available in the non tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer underlying the project lands, where the producing sands are located between about 350 and 670 feet below the ground surface. Based on a preliminary analysis under Senate Bill 5 Rules, about 2.5 acre feet could be diverted annually for the projected 100 year aquifer life. We have no objection to this proposal with a well as the water supply contingent upon the applicant demonstrating to the county and to this office that their annual water requirements for this facility will not exceed the 2.5 acre feet available. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact me. Sincerely, S citA4 John Schurer, P.E. Senior Water Resource Engineer JS/garrity2 cc: Alan Berryman, Division Engineer n �-.

Recently if was brought to my attention. the Zoning that is being quoted for that land is the zoning allowed on the old 1976 Special use agreement under "Y•' . • During the re-zoning of the entire county, the commissioners wanted to re-zone us back to ag, Jerry Jamaison, John Hockmiller and myself attended sot of the meetings and protested, At this time we were rezoned to I-•3. The Commissioners wanted to eliminate the Automobile junk yard use, since this was what was happening at that time, they allowed us to have .this use with a Special use permit. Please let me inform you of events: The Weld County Maps were changed to snow us i-3, not -i- ns on the 1976 agreement. The map makers got the information from you guys, check their records. Ernie Ryberg operated a Oil recycling plant during 1981 and • probably got some type of operating or sales license at that time. 1 ha- correspondence from Weld County about Ryberg. He didn't get a special use perm: because the use was allowable. This mixup is costing me money and apparently Weld County is not making a big effort to solve the problem.

Identify and show on the plans the asphalt aprons at both entrances to WCR 41. I have addressed the usually high truck traffic at both facilities. They are indicating 25 tankers per day at one facility and 50 to 75 tankers at the other. I calculated approximately 100 tankers in a 24-hour period. That averages 4.1 tankers per hour. The facility will handle the stacking and storing of additional tankers prior to unloading if they would happen to overlap. Absolutely no stacking or storing of tankers on WCR 41 prior to unloading will be permitted. With this volume of traffic, the state standards and AASHTO standards are showing that the applicant does not need an acceleration or deceleration lane for the facility. cc: Commissioner Baxter File USR-1021 & USR 1022 DC/pds:mgreg4 PEC IVE int 15 1993 11 Weld County Pinning 92308813 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES PHONE(303)353-3845, EXT. 3540 WELD COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES uric ' EY, C ORADO AVENUE GREEL140 COLORADO E80631 NU COLORADO a2 3 t99S wee r-Taty plaaaiaa July 8, 1993 CASE NUMBER: USR-1022 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Enclosed is an application from Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a topping unit.

Box 568 Gilcrest, CO 80623 Platteville, CO 80651 Weld County Dept . of Planning Services 7/26/93 Greeley, Co . The Platteville Fire Protection District has reviewed the proposed plans submitted by Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation for both the water separation USR-1021 and the topping unit USR-1022 and have the following concerns and recommendations . We recognize the need for such facilities to exist in our area . We do not object -to the location of the facility however do have concerns for the people living in that area that this facility be kept clean and odor free . In regards to Fire Protection at this plant we know from past experiences that these type of operations are a high risk for a fire and do pose the possibility of a very large fire that would quickly surpass the capabilities of our District . However we believe that if the following steps are taken we would be able to increase our capabilities to a reasonable level to protect this facility. 1 . Due to the remote location of this plant water supply would be a major problem. We will need to have a water system on site . In speaking with Gerrity Oil & Gas we believe this could be done in one of two ways . A. Installing several large above ground tanks of at least 60, 000 gallons . These tanks must be so arranged as to allow the Fire Department to use the entire 50, 000 gallons though a single 4.5" NST outlet at a rate of 1000 gpm. Additionally the tanks and plumbing must be protected from freezing in the winter. These tanks must be located so as to be within 1000 ' of any equipment location . The water in these tanks must be changed at least once a year . B. Installing a Dry hydrant in the 10 acre pond. We have attached a description of a dry hydrant system to this page . The use of the dry hydrant option would depend upon the suitability of the water in the pond for use in firefighting . We must first know the salt content and the hydrocarbon content of the water before excepting this option. 930883 Plak _.ville Fire Protection : .strict P.O.

Fire Extinguishers We would like to see a minimum of 3 2001bs ABC type wheeled type extinguishers provided on site at all times . These should be in addition to 301bs extinguishers mounted so that they are within 50 ' of all equipment areas . 3 . We have discussed with Gerrity the idea of mounting fixed nozzles around the plant that could be used to contain a fire until the Fire Department arrives on scene . At this time we do not see the need for this however we would like to reserve comment on this until construction of the facility . 4 . We know from past experiences in fighting fires involving large petroleum storage tanks that the only way to control the fire is by the use from firefighting foam. At the present time the Platteville Fire District is not equipped with enough foam or a device to apply foam rapidly enough to control a fire at this plant . We would propose the purchase of a trailer which would be carried 165 gallons of foam and a nozzle to rapidly apply the foam. It is our position that we as the Fire District should not have to stand the full expense of this equipment as it would be very specialized in use . We ask that Gerrity Oil and Gas supply the Fire District with 165 gallons of AFFF 3% / 6% foam in 3 55 gallon drums . We also ask that Gerrity Oil Supply the fire department with a nozzle tip (Elkhart HF-500 or equal ) and the drum attachment . Also needed would be the monitor standpipe on which to mount the nozzle . The above items then would be mounted on a trailer so as they could be transported to the location. The Platteville Fire District has supplied Gerrity Oil and Gas with a copy of this letter along with pricing on the equipment and a more detailed description of our needs which is attached to this letter. We thank you for this opportunity to review these plans and believe that if our needs are meet we can safly provide a reasonable degree of Fire Protection to this facility .

Box 43 Gilcrest, CO 80623 Platteville, CO 80651 Gerrity Oil & Gas 4100 East Mississippi Ave Denver, Co 7/26/93 Dear Mr . Pitcher The Platteville Fire District has reviewed the proposed plans for the refinery and water separation unit east of Platteville . As per our conversation we have put together a list of the equipment needs of the Fire District that we are asking your company to supply, and more details on the water supply requirements . I have also included a copy of the letter to the Weld County Planning Dept . which covers what those requirements are . 1 .. Foam. After discusing this plant with several other Fire Districts in the Denver area who have had fire in these tanks we believe 165 gallons of foam would be adequate . It is important that this foam be the AFFF type rated for both 3 and 6% applications . The best price I have found is $ 16 . 50 per gallon in 55 gallon drums . 2 . Foam Nozzle The key to applying foam is to have a adequate supply of both foam and water but also to be able to deliver it onto the fire rapidly enough. To due this we need a nozzle . The best nozzle we have found is a Elkhart brand model HF-500 . equipped with a drum pickup tube. The best price I have found on this set is $ 1 , 056 . 00 3 . Monitor . We have located a used monitor nozzle that would work very well for this need. The cost would be $ 400 . 00 4 . Trailer In order to transport the above item to the location and around the site we would propose mounting them on a trai'l'er . We have priced a new trailer at $ 1 , 995 . 00 however we believe one could be found for less possible though government surplus sources . 3 . Water Supply Attached are the NFPA guidelines for the installation of a dry hydrant . We believe that if the water in the 10 acre pond is suitable for use in fire protection, and if dry hydrant can be located within 1000 ' of all equipment, and if the pond will not complete freeze up this would be our best water source . c38,) Plai :vine Fire Protection : strict P.O.

TJ/lam-1431 GEAR I T Y OIL `& G AS CORPORATION O�C JULIsi r v*!I Ittifya1%9 July 20, 1993 Mr. Trevor Jiricek Environmental Protection Services Weld County Health Department 1517 16th Avenue Court Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Trevor: The following is a response to your questions regarding USR-1022, Gerrity's Topping Unit: 1) Will the facility generate any other waste products? The only byproducts other than naphtha, diesel and residue will be a minor amount of "basic water and sediment." It is anticipated that this substance will constitute about 2- 3% of the total throughput of the system. This water will be transported by flow-line to the water separation unit, where it will undergo the same cleaning process as the production water. 2) Describe how the incoming trucks will unload? Are there any controls built in to provide protection against environmental impact? The incoming trucks will unload at a covered "rack." This rack will consist of a series of three loading/unloading pump stations. A computerized pumping unit will pump the crude out of the trucks through hoses and into the pipeline that will extend directly to the storage tanks. A computer card will access the system, thus providing security on who uses the pumps and what products exit the trucks. The loading/unloading rack will be set in concrete with concrete drives extending under and through the rack area to prevent any seepage of potential spills. A vapor recovery system will gather any vapors that may be emitted during the loading/unloading phase. These vapors will be recondensed and sent back to the fuel storage tanks. An underground sump system will exist beneath each rack to immediately capture any spills that may occur. 4100 East Mississippi Avenue Suite 1200 Denver, Colorado 80222 ,{}pp� Fax 303757.1197 9ruVL 83 Telephone 303 757.1110 Mr. Trevor Jiricek July 20, 1993 Page 2 3) How will the diesel fuel, jet fuel and naphtha be loaded and transported from the facility? Are there any controls built in to provide protection against environmental impact? These fuels will be transported from the site by customer trucks. These trucks will come to the loading racks (one per product type) and load the fuel through hoses by pump from the pipeline to the truck. The above description of environment protection measures applies to the loading of fuels as well. 4) Will the "earth or concrete dike" be constructed beneath the storage tanks to prevent vertical migration of any spill? What is the potential volume the dike can contain? The foundation for the tanks will consist of a concrete ring that borders the edge of the tank. The ground below the tanks and completely within the area that is surrounded by the earth dikes will be lined with an impermeable lining material (XRS Liner). Below the liner there will be a one foot layer of sand, below which will be a one foot layer of rock. This will prevent any subsurface seepage from occurring in the event of a spill. The capacity of the dike area will be equal or greater than the capacity of its respective tank. 5) Because naphtha may be odorous, does the facility propose any odor control? Odor abatement plan? It is not anticipated that there will be any odor problem on the site. The system is entirely a closed loop system. Neither the crude nor the resulting products will ever be exposed to the outside atmosphere. The crude will go directly from the unloading trucks, by pipeline, to the storage tanks, on by pipeline to the distillation towers (which are completely enclosed). The resulting products will return back by pipeline to their respective tanks and on by pipeline to the loading rack. I appreciate your prompt review of this additional information, so that we can stay on course for our August 3rd Planning Commission Hearing.

Introduction ************ We found the plans on both case USR-1021 and USR-1022 to be lacking in details that would allow us to clearly determine the exact nature of the facilities . There is no specific statement anywhere in the plans that tells us if the storage pond is going to be a salt sediment (evaporation) pond or an irrigation water storage pond. The Water Treatment Facility schematic that was included with the plan references a pond that contains stored water for irrigation, which has caused us confusion in determining what the pond will really be used for. Please see the enclosed material . Therefore, we have included a two part recommendation. The first recommendation is our comments on a salt sediment pond, and the second being comments on an irrigation pond. RECOMMENDATION FOR A SALT SEDIMENT POND *************************************** 0 EVE Case USR-1021 ************* JUL 2 7 1993 11 Proposed Use ************ Salt Sediment WelOr' ntyPlanning ************* If this ten acre pond is going to be a salt sediment pond, then the water contained within should not be used for irrigation purposes, and the resulting total desolved solid sediments (mainly a salt base) should not be distributed around the site . These actions would cause the soil to become permanently overburdened with salt, with the 9-30893 resulting effects being a loss of soil fertility and leaching of salts into the local water table . Products Released into Environment ********************************** Unfortunately, the types of chemicals to be used in the clarifying process where never mentioned. In any case, we highly recommend that three ground water contamination monitoring sites be implemented. Monitoring should occur on a monthly basis, until an acceptable level of trend in contamination can be identified, then every third month monitoring should occur. The location of these monitor sites should be as follows : one located at the entrance to the pond from the mechanical knockout tank, an other at the bottom of the draw located in the north east corner of this site, and the third in the south east corner of this site . The monitoring should test for TDS levels, which were mentioned in the plan as an initial concern. The following should also be monitored at a minimum for conductivity, pH, nitrates, nitrites, and other chemicals which could contaminate the area' s drinking water supply. Adequate Storage/Pond Size ************************** There was no mention of any type of a mechanical aerator being placed in the pond. Which causes concern that the proposed storage tanks and pond size at this site are inadequately sized to contain the large amount of material that is to be processed at one time . Especially the size of the pond, when considering that the settling of the TDS' s will take at least three days . In addition, evapo- transpiration rates are going to decline in the winter months and during periods of inclement weather. Therefore, a secondary plan, which was not mentioned in this case proposal , would be needed for additional water storage to avoid an overburden of this facility. However, if an aerator will be implemented, then the given pond size of ten acres should be adequate. Pond Lining *********** The pond must be lined, given the rapid permeability of this soil and possible ground water contamination that could result from pond seepage. Please contact the Brighton Soil Conservation Service for recommendations on types of pond liners . Proper care of the pond liner would exclude the driving of heavy equipment over the top of the liner in order to clean out the pond. Fencing ******* Adequate fencing must line the pond perimeter to keep wildlife out of the area, as this type of pond can be detrimental to wildlife . 90883 Reclamation of the Pond Area **************************** If activity does cease on this site, we recommend that the sediment (evaporation) pond remain and be converted to a wildlife area . We feel the pond' s existence will supply a needed source of water that wildlife in the area will come to depend on. Case USR-1022 ************* Water and Sewage Facilities *************************** Instead of drilling for water at this site to accommodate the water needs of the employees, consider using the existing water well for cleaning and toilet needs . Due to the nature of the soil at this site, creating a sewage lagoon facility poses a hazard to ground water contamination due to the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum. Fire Protection *************** Again, instead of drilling for water at this site, the installation of a large water storage tank equipped with a pump, hoses, valves, and a piping system, could effectively accommodate any emergency water needs without having to do excessive drilling at this site . Which may cause shale fracturing. Storage Areas ************* There is concern that if a spill does occur at the storage sites that there is no protection for the soil directly underneath the storage sites . There was no such protection mentioned in the proposed plan. In the event that a spill of fifty gallons or more occurs on the site, monitoring for ground water contamination should occur as soon as possible . Landscaping and Erosion Control Plans ************************************* Deciduous plants are recommended for landscaping at this site . Some tree species that would do well on this site are Siberian elm, Russian olive and Hackberry. In addition, some shrub species that would do well are Skunkbrush sumac, Lilac, and Siberian peashrub. Unfortunately, we did not receive a copy of the proposed erosion control plan, which would have allowed us to make informed comments concerning erosion control problems at this site . 9.?.0f38la Please see the attached seeding recommendation to cover those disturbed bare areas with native grasses . Reclamation *********** There was no mention of what would be done with contaminated soil, if any existed at the time of reclamation. We recommend that if there is contaminated soil, that it be removed, and sent to an adequate storage facility. In the event that activity ceases at this site, please notify us at that time, and we will be more than happy to do an on-site evaluation and help formulate the best possible reclamation. RECOMMENDATION FOR AN IRRIGATION POND ************************************* Case USR-1021 ************* Proposed Use ************ Products Released into Environment ********************************** Unfortunately, the types of chemicals to be used in the clarifying process were never mentioned. In any case, we highly recommend that three ground water contamination monitoring sites be implemented. Monitoring should occur on a monthly basis, until an acceptable level of trend in contamination can be identified, then every third month monitoring should occur. The location of these monitor sites should be as follows : one located at the entrance to the pond from the mechanical knockout tank, an other at the bottom of the draw located in the north east corner of this site, and the third in the south east corner of this site . The monitoring should test for TDS levels, which were mentioned in the plan as an initial concern.

In addition, evapo- transpiration rates are going to decline in the winter months and during periods of inclement weather. Therefore, a secondary plan, which was not mentioned in this case proposal, would be needed for additional water storage to 90883 avoid an overburden of this facility. However, if an aerator will be implemented, then the given pond size of ten acres should be adequate . Pond Lining/Vegetation ********************** The pond must be lined. These soil types are susceptible to moderately rapid permeability. For this reason, there is a hazard for contamination leaching into the soil . Furthermore, across Weld County Road 41, which is at a lower elevation than this site, there are at least two water well systems that are being used for irrigation purposes (i . e . pivot sprinkler systems) . The irrigation pond referenced in the Water Treatment Facility schematic could benefit from hydrophytic vegetation by removing nitrates and nitrites . This type of vegetation requires a water depth of six inches to three feet, and could provide the additional benefit of wildlife habitat to this site . If the use of hydrophytic vegetation is going to be considered, please contact the Soil Conservation Office in Brighton for a seeding and species recommendation. Wildlife Use ************ Wildlife could benefit from this irrigation pond referenced in the Water Treatment Facility schematic . Due to the location and lack of other bodies of water close to this location, wildlife will use this pond as a water source . Therefore, the water that is to fill this pond must be safe enough for the use waterfowl, antelope and deer among others . It must also have slopes no greater than 5 : 1 to allow for safe wildlife access . Again, for specific acceptable levels of water impurities, please consult the Brighton Soil Conservation Service . Byproduct Disposal ****************** The areas that are to receive the total dissolved solids must be tested for biological oxygen depletion (BOD) levels, and rates of application must be adjusted accordingly. Reclamation of the Pond Area **************************** If activity does cease on this site, we recommend that the irrigation pond remain and be converted to a wildlife area. We feel the pond' s existence will supply a needed source of water that wildlife in the area will come to depend on. Case USR-1022 ************* Water and Sewage Facilities 930883 *************************** Instead of drilling for water at this site to accommodate the water needs of the employees, pumping water from the irrigation storage pond or the existing water well to use for cleaning and toilet needs may be considered. Due to the nature of the soil at this site, creating a sewage lagoon facility poses a hazard to ground water contamination due to the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum. Fire Protection *************** Again, instead of drilling for water at this site, the installation of a large water storage tank equipped with a pump, hoses, valves, and a piping system, could effectively accommodate any emergency water needs without having to do excessive drilling at this site .

GERRITY OIL & GAS CORPORATION COUNTY OF Mee Ar'pahoe STATE OF COLORADO ) — ignature: Owner or Authorized Agent Subscribed and sworn to before me this 30th //day of Jun 19 93 ( lei OTARY PUBLIC 1P My commission expires 4/18/94 930883 Topping Unit Detailed Description of Proposed Operation Proposed Use A topping unit utilizes a basic distillation process to convert crude oil into various residual fuel products. This small facility will be used to convert Gerrity condensate into diesel fuel, jet fuel and naptha to serve the Eastern Colorado and Southern Wyoming markets. The area needed for the unit is the South 1/2 of the South 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 32 of T3N, R65W. Condensate will be transported to the facility from various Gerrity wells and housed in holding tanks. The oil is then treated by a two-step distillation process that is performed by natural gas- fired boilers. There are no chemical catalysts used in the process. The products are then stored temporarily in tanks until picked up by tanker trucks. The topping unit is relatively small in structure and simple in configuration. A diagram of the facilities and a photo showing a similar unit is enclosed. The unit will consist of several tanks (forty feet in diameter, thirty feet in height) , two distillation "towers" (approximately 30 feet in height) and a series of product storage tanks. An earth or concrete dike will be built around the storage tanks to prevent any uncontained spills. Also, a loading rack and small office will be located on the site. The area required for the entire facility is under ten acres. Need for Use Currently, Gerrity suffers from a depressed price on its condensate product, relative to national market prices. This facility would provide a mechanism to convert condensate into more valuable diesel, jet fuel and naptha. Also, it would provide the region with a much needed supply center for such products. Currently, no facilities exist between Cheyenne, Denver and Fort Morgan to supply jobbers and retailers with these products. Existing Uses on Surrounding Properties Surrounding the site to the west and south is similarly zoned 13 property. The strip of 40 acres to the west is currently vacant, other than scattered car salvage material. The southern parcel is also void of ongoing activity, other than a trailer home on the site. Further to the south is Tire Mountain's tire salvage and burial activity. To the east and north are agriculturally used parcels. A diagram of the surrounding zoning is attached. 90 38,'; TOPPING UNIT- USR Distance from Residential Structures The only possible residential structure near the site is a trailer home in the North 1/2 of the North 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 32. The structure is approximately 1, 000 feet from the proposed site of the topping unit. Number of Employees, Shifts and Hours of Operation The topping unit will operate 24 hours a day with three shifts. Three or four people will be required for the daytime shifts and one person for the night. Tanker traffic will only visit the site during the daylight ours. The processes of the unit itself will be the only 24 hour activity. Water and Sewer Facilities The unit will not require county water. In order to facilitate the drinking, cleaning and toilet needs of the employees, water will either be stored on the site or a water well will be drilled. The appropriate permits for either activity will be applied for and submitted. A septic system will be installed as a sewer facility for the employees. Access Routes The facility will be accessed from County Road 41, which runs along the eastern border of the property and is paved. A loading/unloading area will be located in the southern portion of the parcel, set back from County Road 41. Vehicular Traffic The traffic to and from the site will be comprised almost exclusively of tanker trucks. 50 to 75 tankers will visit the site daily to load or unload products. The tankers will range in capacity from 100 to 200 barrels per truck. These trucks weigh from 25 to 40 tons and are about 30-35 feet in length. Traffic will be both northbound and southbound on County Road 41. Regarding parking, the facility will likely have a semi-circular loading and unloading zone, requiring little parking space. A small parking area will be constructed near the office for employee vehicles. Fire Protection In addition to fire fighting operations provided by the local district, Gerrity will provide several measures that will allow the 2 TOPPING UNIT- USR facility to self-contain a fire. Water from a water well will be piped around the facility to hydrants. Facilities will be in place to distribute the water from those points in the event of a fire. Fire fighting stations will be established and a set of fire guidelines for employees will be developed and practiced. Commercial fire extinguishers for small fires will also be installed throughout the facility. Further, each storage tank will have an earthen berm constructed around it to contain any spill or fires. The processing unit itself will also have a berm around it. An additional, unpaved fire and emergency access from the south can be constructed at the County's request. Animals No animals will be on the site. Storage Areas A series of storage tanks will temporarily hold the condensate and resulting products. Two 10, 000 barrel tanks will hold the incoming condensate. One 10, 000 barrel tank will be used to store the resulting naptha and one will be used for the resulting diesel. One 5, 000 barrel tank will hold any residual product that is left over. As mentioned previously, each tank will be self-contained by berms in the event of a spill or fire. Although the tanks will continuously have product in them, the amount of time any one "batch" of product stays in the tank will be very short. Storm Water Retention Facilities In the event that no adequate means are present on the site to dispose of drainage, a small retention pond will be constructed on the subject property. The drainage plan will be designed in a way that sends all run-off to the pond. Additionally, culverts will be installed where access points are built across the drainage area along County Road 41, facilitating the storm water drainage of that area. Byproduct Disposal The only product of the process that will not be sold and transported by tanker off site will be basic sediment and water from the condensate. A maximum of 80 barrels per day of this sediment and water will result from the topping unit process. This material will be piped immediately to the adjacent water separation facility, which is being considered separately, where it will be sent through the separation process with the other water (see permit application for water separation facility) . 3 TOPPING UNIT- USR Landscaping and Erosion Control Plans The appropriate landscaping and erosion control measures will be implemented on the site. Regarding landscaping, that part which fronts County Road 41 will be landscaped with gravel or deciduous plants. Those areas on the site that are covered with road base, facility structures or pipeline foundation will also be landscaped appropriately with gravel or deciduous plants. Regarding erosion control, a Stormwater Discharge Permit will be obtained from the State Health Department. Included in the permit will be a fully developed erosion control plan. Prior to construction of the facilities, the dirt work performed will maximize the appropriate drainage of the property and any uncovered areas will be re-seeded with native plants and grasses to prevent erosion. Reclamation Because the majority of the facility will be skid-mounted, it can be removed from the site without difficulty when the activity ceases. Any of the permanent facilities (tanks, foundations, etc. ) will either be used for some other purpose or disassembled and hauled away. Timetable for Construction Assuming the appropriate County and State permits and approvals are granted, the timetable for construction of the facility will be as follows: Design and Fabrication: 30 days Earthwork and Roadwork: 15 days Installation of Unit: 30 days Septic, Testing, Other: 15 days 120 days Provided that approvals are granted by September, construction of the unit should be completed before the end of 1993 . Written Materials and Supporting Documents Consistency With Comprehensive Plan The proposed unit would comply and remain consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. In following with stated requirements of the Comprehensive Plan, the use of the property is compatible with surrounding uses. The adjoining industrial properties used for auto salvage operations will be compatible with this use, and 4 Online—P-17031 TOPPING UNIT- USR the topping unit project will not interfere with any adjoining agricultural uses. Also required by the Comprehensive Plan, the site is accessible by public road and the natural environment of the site (drainage, soils, etc) is suitable for the proposed use. Consistency With Intent of District The proposed use for the topping unit would remain consistent with the industrial district in which it would be located for several reasons. The industrial zoning calls for the location of these types of activities in "isolated areas" , a description which typifies this parcel of land. The zoning is to "accommodate industrial uses" which are stated to include "processing" activities. This use clearly fits into that category. Conservation of Productive Agricultural Land Currently, the subject property is not being used for agricultural purposes. The proximity to salvage operations, natural environment and topography are not ideal for such use on this piece of ground. Therefore, the proposed use would not displace existing agricultural activities, nor would it interfere with agricultural operations on nearby tracts of land. Protection of Health, Safety and Welfare The topping unit does not pose an unusual risk or hazard for those present at the facility or for inhabitants of nearby property or resident of the County. The risk is mitigated because the system is very simple, free of chemical catalysts. In effect, the system is a series of boilers and storage tanks. A list of the content and size of fugitive emissions from the system is attached. All emissions will be monitored and permitted by the State Department of Health. Safety systems will be in place in the event a fire or spill takes place. As mentioned earlier, water and fire extinguishers will be available throughout the site, and employees will be trained in safety procedures. Again, the storage tanks will have berms built around them to contain a potential fire or spill. All materials and facilities will be inspected and certified by the appropriate government agency. Compatibility With Existing Land Uses A description of the surrounding land uses is enclosed. It is clear that the industrial use of this parcel will be compatible with the other industrial activities of the area. The auto salvage area and tire facility are both very industrial in nature and would therefore be compatible with the proposed use. 5 4?,0983 TOPPING UNIT- USR Compatibility With Future Development The project will not interfere with future development. The current zoning designation of I3 implies that the intended development of this area includes this use. Also, the majority of the topping unit will be "mounted" on skids, allowing it to be disassembled and relocated while leaving little surface ground impact from its use. There will not be any deterrent to future development of the area that is related to this unit. No toxic material, unsightly smoke stacks or prohibitive noise conditions will exist. Flood Plain, etc According to the Firm Rate Map 080266 0900C, September 28, 1982 the proposed area is not located in a flood plain. Further, it is not located in the geologic hazard or Weld County Airport overlay district area. Proof of Water Supply A permitted water well currently is located on the subject property. A copy of the legal description of the well is enclosed. In the event that an additional source is required, a permit will be applied for and submitted. Legal Instrument A copy of the signed contract to purchase the subject property is enclosed. The earnest money has been paid to the seller and the remainder of the contract will be carried out upon final approval of the project by the County. Noise Report The only noise generation will come from the air cooler in the unit and the heater system. The fan on the air cooler will be the loudest source of noise within the unit. It is estimated that at 300 feet the fan will emit noise at a level of about 62 decibels. It is anticipated that from adjoining property the noise will not exceed 80 decibels. The topping unit will be configured in such a manner that will ensure that the appropriate noise requirements are met. 6 92,0981 TOPPING UNIT- USR Soil Report A soil report prepared by the Soil Conservation Service is enclosed. Soils are also identified on the plot plan. No existence of moderate or severe soil limitations for the proposed use was found. List of Names, Addresses and Parcel I.D. Numbers of Nearby Landowners A certified list of all landowners within 500 feet of the subject property is enclosed. List of Names and Addresses of Mineral Owners and Lessees of Minerals On or Under Subject Parcel A certified list of all mineral owners or lessees on or under the subject property is enclosed. 7 - '.. .. : :::-.. 4:Pro eC o •P . , ,, ., . ..„. et . . . -es . 4i ......
