Roggen Disposal
Post Office Box 169
Sterling CO 80751-0169
Dear Mr. Cervi:
Our staff have recently reviewed our files concerning the Roggen Disposal. Our records indicate that the
facility has not posted adequate financial assurance as required by the Regulations Pertaining to Solid
Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities(the Regulations).
We have also discussed the status of the Roggen Disposal with representatives of the Solid Waste Unit of
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment(CDPHE). Their staff have confirmed that
the facility has not complied with Section 1.8 of the Regulations pertaining to financial assurance. As a
result,the facility is currently in violation of the Regulations as well as development standard#17 of the
facility's County issued special use permit"(USR-481)_
Our records also indicate that the facility has not accepted any waste since mid-1995. In the event the
facility is no longer viable,rather than post the appropriate financial assurance,you have the option to
permanently close it. However, in order to close the facility,appropriate notifications must be made and a
closure plan must be submitted to this Department and the CDPHE for review and approval.
We request that within the next 14 days,you advise the Department and the CDPHE of the course of
action that you intend to pursue. Please also include a detailed time frame that outlines the specific date
that you intend to comply with the Regulations and your USR. In the event that you would like meet and
discuss this letter or the facility's requirements, please contact me at(970)353-0635, extension 2232.
Sincerely,
Trevor Jiricek

Mr. Mike Cervi
Northern Colorado Brine
Post Office Box 169
Sterling, Colorado 80751-0169
Dear Mr. Cervi:
On October 30, 1998 a representative of the Environmental Protection Division of the Weld County
Health Department inspected Northern Colorado Brine (NCB), located at 10600 Weld County Road
54, Milliken, in Weld County, Colorado. The purpose of the inspection was to inspect and assess
the facilities compliance with the "Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and
Facilities", as promulgated by the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, Title 30, Article 20,
part 1, C.R.S., as amended, and the Development Standards set forth in U.S.R.- 540:83:3.
On this date it was observed that the day-to-day facility operations appeared to be in substantial
compliance with both the Regulations and the facility's U.S.R.
As you are aware, according to development standard#18 of the facility's U.S.R., this facility must
close no later than December 12, 1998, unless the facility applies for and receives a new U.S.R. and
Certificate of Designation from the County. As of today, the County has not received an application
for these permits. Therefore, we are assuming that the facility will be closing.
There are certain requirements, for closure, that this facility must meet in accordance with Section
• 2.5, 3.5, 3.6, and 9.10, of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities.
These include but are not limited to notifying the County and the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment, in writing, at least 60 days in advance of the closure date. To our
knowledge, neither of these requirements have been met. In addition, all closure activities described
in the approved closure plan and the facility's design and operations plan, dated October 1983, must
be completed within 180 days of the date the facility closed.
Please provide a schedule that clearly illustrates that all closure activities will be complete within 180
days of the closure of this facility.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 353-0635, extension 2232.
