We would like to enlarge the recieving pit , and surrounding concrete area . This will increase the separation and reduce the pumping time needed to keep the pit at an acceptable level . 2 . Expand the concrete slab under the aeration engine. This will enable us to contain the entire engine and any leaks that might occur_ 3 . Pour a concrete slab on the S.W. corner of Pond C. This will pro- vide solid footing when we are skimming. Thank you for reviewing the blue prints . If you have any comments that would facilitate these improvements please let me know.

Box 161 Eaton, Colorado 80615 Dear Jane: This letter will serve to specify and elaborate on the Division's interpretation of the liquid waste stream that Weld County Disposal has been authorized to receive regarding underground storage tanks The basis for the waste is specifically water that has been contaminated with gasoline or diesel fuel. This could include waste water from: A. Groundwater tables adjacent to and contaminated by leaking storage tanks. B. Water removed from fuel storage tanks which held gasoline or diesel. C. Water from fuel lines, transport truck tanks, pumps or other fuel related equipment. D. Water recovered from the surface of the ground which is contaminated with gasoline or diesel fuel. E. Water that has been used to flush and/or clean gasoline or diesel fuel tanks, lines or equipment. The amount of petroleum contamination is not a limiting factor because these products are compatible with the existing waste stream. The level of lead can be a limiting factor if it is too high. Any liquid waste containing toxic substances or hazardous waste cannot be considered. I think that this adequately defines the waste that is approved for the facility. If you have further questions, please contact this office at 353-0635. Sincerely, C�� (� 1 / / ` - .�/ter 1 / �"�` ‘----:;,:tCL !

The freeboard levels have been set by the Development Standards. These Development Standards were agreed upon by the County and the owner of the facility, Howard Duckworth. This Division feels this request is a deviation from the Development Standards. It is the responsibility of Weld County Disposal to decrease intake or install the approved aeration units in Ponds C & D to maintain the 3 foot freeboard levels.

"` Greeley, CO 80632 J Re: Weld County Waste Disposal Dear Wes: I would like to request -a temporary variance to the freeboard limits set at the above referenced project. My last visit to the facility found the operation was still meeting the freeboard levels as set by the Development Standards. However, the freeboard levels were nearing the three foot (3') limits allowed. Therefore, the owner has requested my assistance to request a temporary variance. We would like to request a temporary variance to allow the freeboard limits to be raised to the two foot (2') limit. I do not anticipate this request to be a problem since most impoundment in the State and County have a two foot freeboard limit. We would like this limit as a temporary measure to continue operations at the facility until the ice disperses in Pond D, allowing the operator to reinstall the sprayer system as approved in the past. The operator will install the third leg of the system in Pond D as shown on the plans and approved by the County. The owner is only asking for this request until the freeboard limits are then lowered to the freeboard limits agreed upon in the Development Standards. The lowering of the water level will be obtained by the reinstallation of the sprayer unit in Pond D and the --effects- of better weather. The owner does not want to install the sprayer system that has bin sujj approved in Pond C until it is a necessity. I agree with the owners_ a concerns with the system in this pond, due to the shape of the pond and the proximity to the neighbor to the east. '�' x • • r , • - 'a Total Engineering Service e fib 3310 State Street Evans, CO 80620 (303) 339-5215 Mr. Wes Potter January 27, 1990 Page Two I further feel it is in the best interest for the County to allow the temporary variance of the freeboard limits. This will allow the facility to stay open therefore minimizing the potential for "midnight dumping". I also feel the o*.vrer is making the attempt to work with the County on this situation. I do not anticipate this request to 'be an annual event. As you know the facility did not get the sprayer system in operation until late last summer. The sprayer system was a new system and needed time to work out the bugs. I feel confident that the operator understands the system much better, as was evident by the operator providing annual maintenance during my last visit. Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this matter. Sincerely, TOTAL ENGINEERING SERVICE �G -1/1 Tom Cope, P.E. xc: rile #88-128 Howard Duckworth Hello
