Response: The compost site consists of ten(10)acres and the east boundary is approximately 300 feet west of Weld County Road 35. The site generally slopes from west to east and south to north. The ground slopes at approximately two to three percent. The site consists of pasture ground cover with native grasses. There is a ridge drainage divide approximately 400 feet from the south boundary of the compost site which divides the compost site into two drainage basins. The existing 10 acre site has two existing retention ponds. The ponds are located at the northwest and south west corners of the site. The existing retention ponds intercept off-site stormwater runoff from the areas west and north of the site. Two retention ponds are proposed for the compost site. These ponds will be located in the northeast and southeast corners of the site. The ponds are sized to intercept all of the stormwater runoff from the site for a 24 hour, 25 year reoccurrence interval storm. The offsite stormwater runoff will be directed around the compost site with a berm and a drainage swale on the west side of the site. A berm will be constructed on the east side of the site to contain the site runoff on the east side of the site to contain the site runoff to the east. The berms will be constructed a minimum of 2.5 feet high. Offsite storm water from the southwest and west will be directed to the Weld County Road 35 west road ditch with a drainage swale. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. 981536 USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE/RESPONSE page 5 Response: The site is in process at this time.

Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Response: The area feed yards in a radius of eight (8) to ten (10) miles will be the source of materials. We will not have an on going or permanent stockpile. The only material we will be handling in the composting will be agricultural based.
