The existing and proposed use of this property includes a dairy facility for milk production. Related activities include milk production, raising replacement heifers, growing steers, and farming. Supporting infrastructure includes buildings and corrals for livestock husbandry, equipment storage, maintenance facilities, waste management and control structures and residences for the owners and employees. This proposal is for 2,000 animals, one new corral area, feed storage area, and one additional wastewater retention structure, with improvements to the existing drainage. This proposal also includes the addition of two modular homes for employee housing (see question 7). 2. This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan through the presentation, enhancement and growth of agriculture. A dairy has existed at the site since approximately 1933. This facility is located on prime farmland when irrigated. The facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly related to or dependent upon agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture land include the maintenance, enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable, agricultural business. The proposed site is not located within a flood hazard zone, a geologic hazard zone or airport overlay zone. The proposed use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the agricultural economic base historically attributed to the area. The proposed use provides approximately twenty agriculture jobs for Weld county residents. Typically, feedlot and dairy operations contribute 2.5 times their gross sales into the local economy. 3. This proposal meets the intent of the agricultural zoned district where the site is located. A livestock confinement operation is permitted in the"A" district as a Use-by-Special-Review Public health safety and welfare are protected through adherence to applicable county, state and federal regulations and requirements. 4. Agricultural uses surround this site. Uses consist of dairies, cattle feeding, and farming. This proposal is compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. There are five(5) residential homes located within 500 feet of the proposed USR boundary. Three of the five homes are located on the dairy property. Livestock production facilities of one form or another have existed on this property since approximately 1933, when the site was purchased by the Anderson Family. 5. a. Approximately twenty (20) employees, the owners and owners' family, various sales representatives, supply delivery people will use this site. b. Ray-Glo Holsteins will employ approximately twenty people at this site. Dairies typically have an employee to animal ratio of approximately one employee per every 100 animals. However, this number may vary by as much as 20 percent. c. The facility will continue to operate 24 hours per day in the milking barn and related facilities as it does presently. Equipment operations, trucks, farming activities and maintenance activities other than emergencies will occur primarily during daylight hours. d. Most structures are currently in place. Proposed structures would include the addition of two (2) modular employee accessory dwellings, one new corral area, a feed storage area, and one wastewater retention structure, with improvements made to existing drainage. Please refer to the site plan maps for existing and proposed structures. e. A maximum of 2,000 dairy cattle.

Fire protection for this site is provided by Galeton Fire Protection District. h. Domestic and livestock water, and water for milking systems is supplied by North Weld County Water District and a stockwatering well. Irrigation water is provided through a combination of shares of Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company, Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company, and Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. i. This site uses individual private septic facilities for residential and office wastewater. Copies of the Individual Sewage Disposal System permits for the dairy are included in the Sewage and Water section. j. Storage and warehousing are not proposed as the primary use of this site. Feedstuffs, livestock bedding, manure, equipment parts and supplies typical of farming activities are stored on site. 6. Numerous trees exist on the property. No additional landscaping is currently planned except as outlined in the Nuisance Management Plan. 7. Reclamation procedures include compliance with applicable regulations such as the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations to manage solid manure and stormwater runoff until all relative material is adequately removed. Should the facility be permanently discontinued under the current ownership, it would be marketed under applicable county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use. 8. Storm water drainage will be handled by a retention pond, which will be constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations. Water from this pond will be used to irrigate farmground. 9. The proposed expansion is expected to be implemented over a period of approximately five years, and will take place as economic and other factors dictate the need for expansion and greater efficiency. Construction is expected to begin during the first half of 2000. The performance of the commodity milk market will be the primary determinant of the speed and scope of this expansion. 10. Manure storage will be located such that runoff can be controlled and nuisance conditions are minimized. Use of manure stockpiles will be minimized to reduce fly and insect concerns due to sanitary conditions required at dairy facilities. Stormwater and water from the milking facilities is stored in earthen structures designed to meet the requirements of the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Operations Regulations. Water from the retention structure is land applied to farmground at agronomic rates. Debris and solid waste are collected and removed by a contracted trash pick-up service on a routine schedule. Hazardous or solid waste storage is not proposed for this site. Solid manure, stormwater and agricultural wastewater will be collected for application to farmground at agronomic rates.

This MMP outlines current site conditions, structures and areas requiring management of solid manure, storm water run-off and process wastewater. This MMP will be kept on-site and amended prior to any change in design, construction, operation or maintenance which significantly increases the potential for discharge of solid manure, stormwater run-off and process wastewater to waters of the State. This MMP shall be amended if it is ineffective in controlling discharges from the facility. Below is the date of the last MMP amendment: Amendment 1: Amendment 2: Amendment 3: Amendment 4: Ray-Glo Holsteins will keep records relating to the MMP onsite for a minimum of three years.

Ray-Glo Holsteins Manure Management Plan 3 EnviroStock, Inc. 8/17/99 Site Description Facility Ray-Glo Holsteins currently has approximately 600 cows on site and most of them lactating. They plan an expansion to a maximum milking capacity of 1,100 cows, with replacements and dry cows totaling 900 the total cattle on site would be 2,000 head. Irrigated farm ground surrounds the facility. The dairy is located on Weld County Road 57 and just south of County Road 70. Dairy construction is industry-typical steel and wood posts, pipe and cable fence, concrete feed aprons and feed bunks, feed alleys and cow-movement alleys, feed storage areas and associated storage structures and maintenance facilities, waste management and control structures.

Ray-Glo Holsteins will add a new retention structure adjacent to the existing structure and as shown in Figure 2. The new retention structure will capture only stormwater, however it will be connected to the existing pond to expand the total process wastewater storage or stormwater storage, whichever is needed at the time. The proposed retention pond will be designed and constructed to meet requirements in Section 4.8.4 of the Confined Animal Feeding Operation Control regulation of 1/32 inch per day maximum seepage. Upon completion of the new wastewater retention pond, the liner will be inspected and certified by a licensed professional engineer. The 25-year, 24-hour storm event for Gill, Colorado is 3.0 inches. Using the SCS runoff curve number for unsurfaced lots (90), the amount of runoff generated during a 25-year event is 1.98 inches. This results in approximately 4.3 acre-feet of runoff generated at Ray-Glo Holsteins during a 25.-year event. The existing retention pond contains approximately 1.7 acre-feet, the concrete settling basin contains approximately 0.4 acre-feet and the new pond is designed to contain approximately 4.6 acre-feet. Calculations for the 25-year storm and pond capacities are found in the appendix. Process Wastewater Ray-Glo Holsteins generates process wastewater within the milking parlor. Process wastewater flows into a concrete settling basin located adjacent to the existing retention pond. The settling basin is designed so one-half of it is utilized at a time. The other half is slowly drained and the solids removed. A table in the appendix shows the process wastewater amount generated at Ray-Glo Holsteins presently and with the proposed expansion. F/oodplains Flood Insurance Services, Ltd. performed a floodplain determination and determined that Ray- Glo Holsteins is not within the mapped 100-year floodplain. Land Application of Stormwater/Process Wastewater Stormwater/process wastewater is periodically pumped from the existing retention pond onto farm ground in accordance with 'tier two'as defined in the state CAFO regulations. The application area for stormwater/process wastewater is an irrigated, partial circle immediately adjacent to the dairy consisting of approximately 100 acres. Table 1 below shows the land necessary to utilize nutrients from a 25-year, 24-hour storm. The nitrogen content and losses are based on Midwest Plan Service publication No. 18, Livestock Waste Facilities Handbook. The calculation in Table 1 indicates that Ray-Glo Holsteins requires between 15 and 17 acres Ray-Glo Holsteins Manure Management Plan 8 EnviroStock, Inc. 8/17/99 of corn to ui:ilize the nitrogen that is contained in runoff generated from a 25-year, 24-hour storm.

It is a five-year stormwater accumulation table, accounting for the following: o Average. monthly precipitation values from local weather data o Average, monthly pan-evaporation data from local weather data o Evaporation area equal to the surface area of the containment structures when 'A full o A 0.85 conversion factor for converting pan evaporation to lake evaporation o Dairy drainage area of 26 acres o Runoff percentage from NRCS National Engineering Handbook o Process wastewater generation rate of 5,500 GPD after expansion o Trial-and-error monthly pumping amounts to keep the retention basins total volume at a manageable level The calculation table shows that annual land application of approximately eight acre-feet of stormwater will maintain a manageable level in the retention structures. Table 2 below shows the land necessary to utilize the nutrients from eight acre-feet of stormwater in accordance with tier two of the state CAFO regulations. The nitrogen content and losses are based on Midwest Plan Service publication No. 18, Livestock Waste Facilities Handbook. The calculation in Table 2 indicates that Ray-Glo Holsteins requires between 34 and 40 acres of corn ground to utilize the nitrogen contained in 11 acre-feet of stormwater.

The calculations (in the appendix) show that in most situations, 40 acres of coin ground will assimilate the nutrients from stormwater/process wastewater if applied annually to the same fields. Solid Manure Management Ray-Glo Holsteins manages solid manure through routine pen cleaning and maintenance. Animal density per pen is controlled to optimize the surface area and keep cows clean while maintaining solid, dry footing for livestock. Ray-Glo Holsteins cleans pens annually. Local farmers take or buy the solid manure to obtain the nutrient value for their fields. If Ray-Glo Holsteins chooses to land apply solid manure on their own property, they will do so in a manner following 'tier two' criteria in the state CAFO regulations. Manure and soil testing is covered later in this MMP. Ray-Glo Holsteins has approximately 100 irrigated-acres of their own land available for land application of manure. Table 3 below calculates the amount of manure produced and the associated nutrients on an"as excreted basis". In addition, manure weight "as hauled" is calculated, accountiing for loss of moisture in the dairy. The calculations are based on Midwest Plan Service publication No. 18, Livestock Waste Facilities Handbook for various size dairy cattle and an average lactating capacity of 1,100 cows.

Nitrogen is naturally abundant. However, it is the nutrient most frequently limiting crop production because the plant available forms of nitrogen in the soil are constantly undergoing transformation. Crops remove more nitrogen than any other nutrient from the soil. The limitation is not related to the total amount of nitrogen available but the form the crop can use. Most nitrogen in plants is in the organic form and is incorporated into amino acids. By weight, nitrogen makes up from 1 to 4 percent of harvested plant material. Essentially all of the nitrogen absorbed from the soil by plant roots is in the inorganic form of either nitrate or ammonium. Generally, young plants absorb more ammonium than nitrate; as the plant ages the reverse is true. Under favorable conditions for plant growth, soil microorganisms generally convert ammonium to nitrate, so nitrates generally are more abundant when growing conditions are most favorable. Manure and process wastewater is most typically applied for fertilizers and soil amendments to produce crops. Generally, manure and process wastewater is applied to crops 1:hat are most responsive to nitrogen inputs. The primary objective of applying agricultural by-products to land is to recycle part of the plant nutrients contained in the by-product material into harvestable plant forage or dry matter. Another major objective in returning wastes to the land is enhancing the receiving soil's organic matter content. As soils are cultivated, the organic matter in the soil decreases. Throughout Ray-Glo Holsteins Manure Management Plan 11 EnviroStock, Inc. 8/17/99 several years of continuous cultivation in which crop residue returns are low, organic matter content in most soil decreases dramatically. This greatly decreases the soils ability to hold essential plant nutrients. Land application of Ray-Glo Holsteins stormwater/process wastewater and solid manure to recycle valuable nutrients is a practical, commonly accepted best management practice given that fertilization rates are applicable and that deep soil leaching does not occur. Reference material from Colorado State University is included in the appendix of this MMP for use by the operator in making sound decisions pertaining to the land application of stormwater and solid manure. Soil Testing The purpose of soil sampling is to ensure that the quantity of nutrients later applied to the soil will not lead.to undesirable nutrient levels in the soil. With knowledge of how much nitrogen and other nutrients are present in the soil, combined with a specific crop and a realistic yield goal, appropriate manure and/or stormwater application quantity can be determined. Ray-Glo Holsteins will test soil on their land application areas annually using the protocol in the appendix. Irrigation Water Testing Ray-Glo Holsteins will test irrigation water once per year using the protocol in the appendix. Manure and Stormwater Testing Manure and stormwater testing are essential components of a complete nutrient balance. The amount of nutrients in manure determines the amount that can be land applied agronomically. Ray-Glo Holsteins will test solid manure and stormwater/process wastewater at least once per year following the protocol in the appendix. Agronomic Calculations Agronomic rate is the rate at which plants will utilize nutrients while limiting the amount of nutrients that are lost via percolation through the soil or runoff. Ray-Glo Holsteins will perform agronomic calculations for every field before manure is applied. Agronomic calculations take into account: ❑ the crop to be grown ❑ a realistic yield goal ❑ total nitrogen required to meet the yield goal ❑ residual soil nitrate ❑ soil organic matter ❑ nitrogen content in irrigation water ❑ nitrogen credit from previous legume crop; and ❑ plant available nitrogen(PAN)in the manure Ray-Glo Holsf.eins Manure Management Plan 12 EnviroStock, Inc. 8/17/99 Forms for performing agronomic calculations are in the appendix. One agronomic calculation sheet is used for each field on which manure is applied. In addition, reference material from Colorado State Cooperative Extension is located in the appendix, which includes nitrogen requirement information for corn, wheat and other crops commonly grown in Colorado. Record Keeping Records of manure application will be kept on the Solid Manure and Stormwater Application Logs. These forms are included in the Appendix. Every day that manure is land applied from Ray-Glo Holsteins, an entry will be recorded on the Solid Manure or Stormwater Application Log. Soil and manure testing results will also be retained. These records associated with manure and nutrient management at Ray-Glo Holsteins will be kept with this Manure Management Plan. In addition, authorized person(s) will track precipitation at Ray-Glo Holsteins. After each rainfall event, the amount of rain will be recorded on the Rainfall Log(this form is provided in the appendix). The Rainfall Log will be kept in this MMP. Inspections Authorized persons will inspect the site, retention ponds and manure handling equipment quarterly for potential problems that may result in manure or wastewater entering waters of the State. These inspections will be recorded on the Storage Basin Inspection Report and Preventive Maintenance Log (these forms are provided in the appendix). Appropriate corrective actions will be taken and properly documented on the forms. These quarterly reports will be inserted into this MMP.

Aug-99 Soil Testing Protocol ❑ Use a qualified laboratory. ❑ Use the same laboratory year-after-year. ❑ The laboratory typically supplies field information sheets, soil sample containers as well as the proper instructions. In the absence of laboratory-supplied sample bags, use sterile plastic bags. ❑ A typical soil sample consists of one pound of soil. ❑ Soil sample each spring, fields that will have manure applied that spring and/or the coming fall, and fields that had manure applied the previous year. ❑ Sample before manure or fertilizer application, and before planting. ❑ Sample each field separately. ❑ Mark sampling points on a field map, which is to scale. Use the same maps to mark where and how much manure is applied each year. ❑ A. sampling point should encompass no more than ten acres and should be evenly distributed across a field. If a field is ten acres or less, then two sampling points should be marked. ❑ Use a coring tool to collect the samples. Collect samples from the 0-24" horizon. Collect one composite sample from each 80 acres of field size. Each composite sample should include 8-12 different sampling points across the 80-acre parcel. Take the 8-12 sub-samples in an "X" or"Z" pattern. Mark the sampling pattern on the field map along with the sampling date and the name of the sampler. ❑ Place the composite soil samples in the containers provided by the laboratory. Mark each sample with the date, sample identification and samplers name. Complete a chain-of-custody form and send it with the samples. ❑ Keep the 30i1 samples cool by packing in ice, and send to the laboratory as soon as possible and by the fastest method available. ❑ Have the laboratory evaluate the soil samples for the following parameters at a minimum: Nitrate-N Organic Matter pH Phosphorus (P) Potassium(K) EnviroStock, Inc. Aug-99 Process Wastewater / Stormwater Testing Protocol o Use a qualified laboratory. o Use the same laboratory year-after-year. o The laboratory typically supplies plastic sample containers. o A typical process wastewater/stormwater sample will be from 250 ml to one liter. o Test process wastewater/ stormwater at least once per year or every time wastewater i.s land applied. o Tae at least three sub-samples. Mix them together and submit one composite sample to the laboratory. o Sample wastewater from each pond or basin that will be utilized for land application. Take the sub-samples from different sides of the retention basin. Take each sub- sample from at least 12 inches, and preferably 18 inches, below the surface. o Place the composited wastewater samples in sterile bottles provided by the laboratory. o Fill the bottles completely, with no air space (if air space is allowed, then some of the ammonium will volatilize and the test will not be accurate). o Mark samples with the date, sample identification and samplers name. Complete a chain-of-custody form and send with the samples. o Keep samples cool by packing in ice, and send to the laboratory as soon as possible and by the fastest method available.

This supplemental plan outlines management practices generally acceptable and proven effective at minimizing nuisance conditions. Neither nuisance management nor this supplemental plan is required by Colorado State statute or specifically outlined in the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Operations Control Regulations. This is a proactive measure to assist integration into local communities as required by Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Section 47 -Livestock Feeding Performance Standards. These management and control practices, to their best and practical extent, will be used by Ray-Glo Holsteins. Legal Owner, Contacts and Authorized Persons The legal owner of Ray-Glo Holsteins is Kevin Anderson Correspondence and Contacts should be made to: Raymond or Kevin Anderson 33796 WCR 57 Gill, Colorado 80624 (970) 351-0949 The individual(s) at this facility who is (are) responsible for developing the implementation, maintenance and revision of this supplemental plan are listed below: Raymond Anderson Owner (Name) (Title) Kevin Anderson Manager (Name) (Title) Legal Description The confined animal feeding facility described in this NMP is located at: The NW% of the NW'/4, and the N'4 of the N'4 of the SW% of the NW 1 of Section 14, Township 6 North, Range 64 West of the 6`/2 principal meridian, Weld County, Colorado. "Serving Environmental Needs of the Livestock Industry" Ray-Glo Holsteins Envirostock, Inc—500:5-01 Air Quality Air quality at and around confined animal feeding operations is affected primarily from the relationship of soil/manure and available moisture. The two primary air quality concerns at dairies are dust and odor. However, the management practices for dust or odor control are not inherently compatible. Wet pens and manure produce odor. Dry pens are dusty. The two paragraphs below outline the best management practices for the control of dust and odors that Ray-Glo Holsteins will use. The manager shall closely observe pen conditions and attempt to achieve a balance between proper dust and odor control. Additional reference information on odor and dust control as guidance to the dairy manager is attached in section "References". Dust Dust from pen surfaces is usually controlled by intensive management of the pen surface by routine cleaning and harrowing of the pen surface. The purpose of intensive surface management is twofold; to keep cattle clean and to reduce pest habitat. The best management systems for dust control involve moisture management. Management methods Ray-Glo Holsteins shall use to control dust are: 1. Pen density Moisture will be managed by varying stocking rates and pen densities. The animals wet manure and urine keep the surface moist and control dust emissions. Stocking rates in new portions of the facility will be managed to minimize dust. 2. Regular manure removal Ray-Glo Holsteins will conduct regular manure removal. Typically, manure removal and pen maintenance will be conducted several times per month. 3. Water Trucks Should nuisance dust conditions arise, water tanker trucks or portable sprinkling; systems will be used for moisture control on pens and roadways to minimize nuisance dust conditions. "Serving Environmental Needs of the Livestock Industry" Ray-Glo Holsteins Envirostock, Inc—5005-01 Odor Odors result from the natural decomposition processes that start as soon as the manure is excreted and continue as long as any usable material remains as food for microorganisms living everywhere in soil, water and the manure. Odor strength depends on the kind of manure, and the conditions under which it decomposes. Although occasionally unpleasant, the odors are not dangerous to health in the quantities customarily noticed around animal feeding operations and fields where manure is spread for fertilizer. Ray-Glo Holsteins will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor control: 1. Establish good pen drainage Dry manure is less odorous than moist manure. The dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and surface harrowing to reduce standing water and dry or remove wet manure. 2. Regular manure removal Reduce the overall quantity of odor producing sources. The dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and harrowing several times per month 3. Composting Composting destroys odor-causing bacteria, pathogens and weed seeds, and is an excellent method of recycling manure into a clean, valuable product. It also reduces total manure volume by approximately 50%. Manure generated at Ray-Glo Holsteins is composted by a commercial contractor. Most of the manure is composted off-site. 4. Reduce standing water Standing water can increase microbial digestion and odor producing by-products. Proper pen maintenance and surface grading will be conducted by the dairy to reduce standing water. The stormwater ponds will be dewatered regularly in accordance with the Manure and Wastewater Management Plan for Ray-Glo Holsteins. No chemical additives or treatments of the stormwater ponds for odor control are planned. Research to date indicates poor efficacy, if any, of these products. 5. Land application timing Typically air rises in the morning and sinks in the evening. Ray-Glo Holsteins will consider weather conditions and prevailing wind direction to minimize odors from land application. Typically, land applications will be timed for early mornings. If Weld County Health Department determines nuisance dust and odor conditions persist, Ray- Glo Holsteins will increase the frequency of the respective management practices previously outlined such aspen cleaning, surface grading and pen maintenance. Additionally, if nuisance conditions continue to persist beyond increased maintenance interval controls, Ray-Glo Holsteins will install physical or mechanical means such as living windbreaks and/or solid fences to further minimize nuisance conditions from dust and odors. "Serving Environmental Needs of the Livestock Industry" Ray-Glo Holsteins Envirostock, Inc—5005-01 Pest Controll Insects and Rodents Insects and rodents inhabit areas that I) have an adequate to good food supply and 2)foster habitat prime for breeding and living. Key practices Ray-Glo Holsteins will use to manage insects and rodents are to first eliminate possible habitat and then, reduce the available food supply. Ray-Glo Holsteins will control flies by: 1. Regular manure removal Manure management removes both food sources and habitat 2. Reduce standing water Standing water is a primary breeding ground for insects 3. Minimize fly habitat Standing water, weeds and grass, manure stockpiles, etc. are all prime habitat for reproduction and protection. Reduce or eliminate these areas where practical. 4. Weeds and grass management Keep weeds and grassy areas to a minimum. These provide both protection and breeding areas. S. Minimize stockpiles or storage of manure Stockpiles of manure provide both breeding and protective habitat. Keeps stockpile use to a minimum. 6. Biological treatments Parasitic wasps are excellent biological fly control and are widely used. The wa:sps lay their eggs in fly la::vae hindering fly reproduction. 7. Baits and chemical treatments Due to environmental and worker's safety concerns, chemical treatments are a last line of defense for insect control. However, they are very effective. Baits and treatments must be applied routinely. Rodent control at Ray-Glo Holsteins is best achieved by minimizing spillage of feed stuffs around the operation. Good housekeeping practices and regular feedbunk cleaning, site grading and maintenance are used to reduce feed sources. Rodent traps and chemical treatments are effective control methods and will be used as necessary. In the event Weld County Health Department determines nuisance conditions from pests such as flies and rodents persist, Ray-Glo Holsteins will initially increase the frequency of the housekeeping and management practices outlined previously. If further action is necessary, Ray-Glo Holsteins will increase use of chemical controls and treatments, such as fly sprays, baits and Rodendicide for pest control.
