Date: August 1, 1996
Subject: USR-I123, Rescar Industries, Inc.
As we discussed on the telephone today, our Division is of the opinion that
supplemental materials are necessary in order to fully describe the proposed
operation at Rescar. The submitted materials indicate that the proposed use is
a site for "railcar inspections, maintenance, repair, cleaning, dismantling and
surface coating, including the storage of railcars..." However, during our site
visit of July 25, 1996, the site manager, Jerry Charaska, indicated that
hazardous materials will be removed from railcars and temporarily stored
during maintenance activities, etc. The original application materials does not
describe the kinds of materials which may be brought to the site, or the
manner in which the materials will be transferred, processed, or stored. Nor
does it describe the facilities will be used for these processes, such as material
construction, containment features, etc. In addition, Mr. Charaska indicated
that a recirculating or recovery system for remaining products left in railcars,
may be installed at the site. The submitted materials do not describe this use.
The handling of hazardous materials or wastes on site are important
environmental health issues. It is important that the applicant describe these
uses and that we are familiar with them before this use is heard in a public
setting.
If you have any questions, please call me at extension 2232.

I spoke with the Assistant Operator and the neighboring property owner at a meeting on the site. The
neighboring property owner has a license to utilize Weld County's right-of-way south from the
facility to State Highway 52.
Site Plan:
This facility has existed at this location for many years. The site is totally enclosed by railroad
tracks all the way around.
Access:
The existing access is from the I-76 frontage road, which falls under the jurisdiction of CDOT.
Please contact Tess Jones, Greeley office, to verify the access point.
The property owner of the adjacent 80 acres has obtained a resolution and a license to utilize Weld
County right-of-way where WCR 47 extends north from WCR 52 to the facility. At this particular
time the Rescar facility does not have permission or access to utilize this right-of-way south out of
their facility.
Main Line Railroad Tracks:
The applicant has indicated that the tracks that run east and north off the main line are incorporated
with the USR section. Please verify if these are main line tracks that are used as an off-loading
facility to the adjacent operation to the east. If these are main line tracks, they should be identified
on the mylar as such.
Storm Water Drainage:
The existing storm water detention ponds now exist on the site. These ponds will be utilized for any
new construction. The railroad tracks around the facility hold all of the storm water on the site. The
storm water is channeled to each detention pond.
The applicant has indicated that the new calculations wilanc � utte storm water drainage
detention ponds prior to applying for any ad ga Y 1 g p rmits.

SUBJECT: Rescar Industries
Keith, I have reviewed the above proposal and offer the following comments:
ACCESS The narrative states that the property is to continue its existing use with plans for three
additional buildings. An increase of traffic volumes as a result of this proposal has not been
addressed. If traffic to this access is to increase by more than 20%, the Department would
have the warrant to re-evaluate access. Re-evaluation could include the construction of
auxiliary lanes if warranted. The County will need to determine if a 20% increase of traffic is
to occur.
• Our comments are based upon the submittal as received July 1, 1996. Thank you for the opportunity
to review the Rescar proposal.

Dear Mr. Schuett:
Pursuant to the State Engineer's August 7, 1995 memorandum to county planning
directors, this office is no longer providing comments on land use actions that do not involve
a subdivision as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. This referral is a Site Specific
Development Plan review and does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision." Returned
herewith are the materials submitted to this office in the above referenced matter.

Dear Mr. Schuett :
The Platte Valley Soil Conservation District, with the
assistance of the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) , has reviewed Case # USR-1123 . Based on our review, we
have the following concerns :
SOIL EROSION
************
A NRCS representative visited the site on July 23 and
found large areas of annual weeds„ some of which had been
controlled by tillage operations . While tillage is an
effective means of weed control, it leaves the soil
susceptible to wind erosion. We recommend that areas not
covered by railroad tracks be revegetated using the enclosed
grass mix.
These grasses are adapted to local conditions, will
protect the soil from erosion, and inhibit weed growth once
established. New seedings should be protected by a mulch of
4000 lbs . per acre weed-free native grass hay crimped into the
soil surface . Weeds will need to be controlled with mowing or
herbicides until the grasses are established, usually the
first four years after planting.
WEED CONTROL
************
There are also patches of Diffuse Knapweed (Centaurea
diffusa) located predominantly on the railroad tracks .
Diffuse Knapweed is a noxious weed because of its invasive
nature and must be controlled in accordance with the Weld
County Weed Management Plan. We are including information and
photographs of Diffuse Knapweed to aid in identification.
Contact Ron Broda or Jerry Aldrige at (970) 356-4000 for more
information on how to control Russian Knapweed.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to comment on
this matter. If you have any questions or need comments on
another application, please contact us at the above address .

In reviewing this application I do not find that this facility intends to file reports with the Weld
County Office of Emergency Management(OEM) as required by the Superfund Amendment and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), Title III. If hazardous materials, above the threshold
planning quantity, are stored on site for any period of time,this includes less than 90 days, then
an immediate report, per Section 311 is required. A subsequent report is required per Section
312.
This application does not indicate in EXHIBIT "B" #20 that the Weld County OEM or Weld
County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) will be allowed to perform hazardous
materials inspections as allowed by Federal Regulations.
I would request that this facility be required to comply with the appropriate sections of SARA,
Title III to include, but not limited too, filing of emergency plans (Section 303), emergency
notifications letters and MSDS's on file (Section 311), Spill report procedure (Section 304) and
the timely filing of Tier II reports (Section 312). As not all parts could be complied with prior to
opening I would only request that each part be complied with on a timely basis as required by
Federal Regulations.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
