I have visited the site and have the following comments:
Site as of This Date:
The site has been surveyed with grade stakes visible. There is no existing structures or
improvements on site.
Access:
The applicant has indicated that there will be one main access point to WCR 46. All other roads
within the facility should use the internal road system.
The existing ADT county for WCR 46 is 187 vehicles per day taken August 1996. WCR 53, the
nearest paved road to the east, has an ADT count of 689 vehicles per day. It was taken April 1996.
The applicant has indicated a plan to employ six people to operate the dairy in two shifts. There will
be two families living on the site with future plans for two mobile homes. Besides their personal
vehicles, there will be a tractor trailer accessing the site every other day to pick up milk, and various
other farm trucks to deliver feed. In the past, similar dairy applications have indicated significant
traffic generation.
The applicant has indicated that there will be cow manure storage on site for short periods of time.
Local farmers will be hauling manure away. It will be sold to various landscaping companies.
Dust Control:
Directly east of the proposed facility, there is a oil and gas pick up station. This facility
accommodates tractor trailer traffic. The dust control is maintained from the entrance to WCR 53.
We suggest that the applicant be responsible for dust control on WCR 46 in front of the facility to
minimize the dust to the dairy herd.
Storm Water Drainage:
The Weld County Health Department should review all calculations for properly sizing the lagoon
system for the facility. Please contact Trever Jiricek for verifications.

The Environmental Protection Division has reviewed this application. We have compiled
numerous recommended conditions and standards for this application. We have attempted to
simplify our referral by separating the proposed conditions of approval and development
standards.
The following are recommended to be conditions of approval:
1. Prior to recording the plat:
A) The facility shall demonstrate compliance with the Confined Animal Feeding
Operation Control (CAFO) Regulation. This shall be demonstrated by submitting
a comprehensive manure run-off and process waste water handling plan, for a
1,500 head dairy, to the Weld County Health Department for review and approval.
This plan shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Demonstration that all manure stockpile areas and waste water collection,
conveyance, and retention facilities are adequately constructed and sized
to handle a twenty-five year, twenty-four hour storm event. This shall be
conducted by a Registered Professional Engineer .
(2) Demonstration that any waste water retention structure has been
constructed with a lining material which does not exceed a seepage rate of
1/32"/day (1x10-6 cm/sec). This shall be conducted by a Registered
Professional engineer.
Demonstration that the facility has the ability to manage and/or land apply
manure and water at agronomic rates in accordance with the CAFO
regulations.
(4) Demonstration that adequate measures are in place to prevent any
discharges except those which are allowed by the CAFO Regulations.

Dear Ms. Keithly,
I have reviewed Case Number USR-1140, the proposal for the Marcy Daniels Dairy near Kersey, Colorado.
Further, I've made an on -site inspection of the property where the dairy is to be located, and I offer the following
comments:
The size of the proposed dairy (1500 head) requires it to adhere to the Confined Animal Feeding Regulations.
There is adequate area for construction of lagoons to hold process waste water and feedlot runoff, however site
material will necessitate the lagoons be lined to meet permeability requirements and the applicant should consult
with a qualified individual or business during the construction of the lagoons to insure compliance. The Gilmore
Irrigation Ditch borders the applicants property to the east, however with properly constructed lagoons and proper
storage of dry manure, there should be little, is any, risk of contamination to this ditch.
Though not shown on their plans, it is recommended that a settling pond be constructed to help minimize the
amount of sludge accumulation in the lagoons. It is my understanding after talking with the applicant that this is
their intention.
Though not shown on their plans, animal density should be at or near the recommended range for dry -lot facilities
in semi -arid climates (see attachment).
Based on my review and observations, and with consideration of the above recommendations, Weld County
Extension has no objection to this proposal.
Sincerely,
Keith R. Maxey

Thank you for the opportunity to review the referenced case. As operator of the Harless
17-2 well located in the SW/4NE/4 of Section 17, Township 4 North, Range 64 West, Prima Oil
& Gas Company would like to voice certain concerns regarding the proposed dairy operation.
Prima wishes assurance that the proposed dairy operation (including the construction and
maintenance thereof) will not block access or preclude Prima from conducting its usual operations
on the Harless 17-2 well located south of the proposed manure storage area or the Harless 17-1
well which is located in the NE/4NE/4 of Section 17. Prima wishes to be sure that the proposed
dairy operation will not prevent further operations on the existing wells including but not limited
to workovers, recompletions or redrilling. Additionally, we would like to make the owners of
the proposed dairy operation aware that from time to time it will be necessary to bring out -sized,
noisy equipment to the wellsite to perform various operations.
We would like to make it clear that Prima is not opposed to the dairy operation, but we
do want the Planning Commission to be aware of how the dairy operation could impact Prima's
operations and to take these requirements into consideration when reviewing the case. Thank you
for your cooperation.

The West Greeley Soil Conservation District has completed its review of the application for a
Site Specific Development Plan, Case Number USR-1 140, Marcy Daniels. The district has no
objections to this proposal but would like to see several precautions taken. First, the district
would like to see grass buffer strips planted along the irrigation ditch to filter runoff. Second,
the district would recommend that all manure storage lagoons be lined to prevent seepage.
Representatives from the NRCS have been working with Ms. Daniels on the design of the waste
management systems for this dairy and are confident that the systems are adequate for the
proposal.
