In addition, a site inspection was made to view the dairy and surrounding properties. The size of the proposed facility will require it to adhere to Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Regulations. There appears to be adequate evidence in the plan that these regulations have been considered in the planning phase. The plan calls for up to 20 employees, which gives a ratio of one employee per one-hundred animals, which is within the norm for commercial dairy operations with milking and young stock. This, in part, provides justification for the additional employee housing units requested in the plan. The size of the exisling and proposed corrals, with the proposed number of milk cows per corral, are within norms and provide for adequate(400 sq.ft./cow) space making corral maintenance more manageable. While there is less space in existing corrals for dry cows and replacements, the volume of manure those animals excrete is less than milking cows, so space provisions should be deemed adequate. Weld County Extension has no objection to this proposal. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Keith R. Maxey Extension Agent(Dairy/Youth) Colorado State University,C.S. Department of Agriculture and Weld Couniv cooperating. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination- • ra,._ \ MEMORANLtJM f `C img TO: Sheri Lockman, Planner DATE: September 27, 1999 1 , FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator + C: SUBJECT: USR-1245; Ray-Glo Holsteins COLORADO The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls primarily under the purview of the Weld County Use by Special Review Standards. Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 57 and WCR 70 are both designated on the Weld County Transportation Plan Map as local gravel roads that. are maintained by Weld County. WCR 57 had an average daily traffic county of 154 vehicles in 1997. The count for WCR 70 was 31 vehicles in a 24-hour period in 1997. The southern access appears to be the main access to the dairy. This access accommodates milk trucks and feed delivery. The remaining two accesses accommodate residential and dairy operation. The northern access is used for tight turning radiuses and access to the feed bunks. I have verified that adequate parking exists to accommodate employees and visitors. REQUIREMENTS: Dust Suppressant: There are two existing residences directly across from the main entrance to the facility. Due to additional traffic generated by the expansion of the dairy, Weld County Public Works is recommending that dust suppressant be placed adjacent to the homes and a portion of the main access. Dust suppressant shall be placed as needed but no less than twice a year and shall be applied at least 150 feet beyond each residential structure. Plat Drawing: The existing silage pits and manure storage and/or composting area located in the northeast corner of the facility should be placed on the plat drawing. Storm Water Drainage: Since the site is agricultural related, the Weld County Health Department should have jurisdiction over any storm water drainage or runoff from the pens.
