The volume of runoff from a 25-year 24-hour storm of 3 . 0 inches, using SCS runoff curve 90 ( 1 . 98 inches of runoff) results in a total volume of 94, 363 cubic feet for your 4, 000 head feedlot . 2 . This volume of water (approximately 95, 000 cubic feet) is equivalent to 0 . 969 inches (or approximately 1 inch depth) of water over 27 acres . 3 . Since alfalfa may be irrigated three to five times per season with 3 to 6 inches of water per application, the runoff containment volume can easily be applied during the irrigation season. 4 . State regulations require that runoff detention facilities be de-watered within 15 days after a major runoff event to regain the detention volume for a second storm. Since corn, alfalfa and other feed crops can be irrigated at least this frequently, the 27 acres can easily handle the contained feedlot runoff water. 5. The feedlot runoff water can be blended with ditch water for most irrigations during the growing season. 6. Alfalfa at a 4-ton-per-acre yield utilizes the following amounts of nutrients per acre: 180 pounds N 18 pounds P (= 40 pounds P205) 150 pounds K (= 180 pounds K2O) 960880 PAGE 2 Feedlot runoff is composed of the following : 4 pounds/1000 gal . - N 9 pounds/1000 gal . - P.O,, 5 pounds/1000 gal . - K.O 7 . The runoff detention facilities total volume is 95, 000 cubic feet or 712, 500 gallons . Total nutrient quantity is : 2, 850 pounds N 6, 412 pounds P20., 3, 562 pounds K,O 8 . 27 acres of alfalfa utilizes the following : 4, 860 pounds N 1, 080 pounds P,O,, 4, 860 pounds K .0 9. These calculations show that 27 acres of alfalfa can fully utilize the nutrients N and K,O from a 25-year 24-hour runoff event . The crop cannot use the amount of P,O, contained in the same volume of runoff. Once every 25 years, there may be excess P,O,, for a normal crop on the 27 acres . However, most years, there will be far less than the 95, 000 C . F. (712, 500 gallons) of runoff water available . Also, the nutrient waste concentrations used in these calculations are for beef animals . This feedlot raises primarily young dairy animals; the nutrient (P,05) quantity is 4 pounds/1000 gallons, rather than 9 pounds/1000 gallons for beef . In this case, an alfalfa crop can use much of the nutrient on just 27 acres . It is important to note that phosphorus is not very soluble in water and readily fixates to soil and organic matter. So even though a particular crop may not fully use all the available phosphorus, very little, if any, will reach the groundwater . In summary, 27 acres is more than adequate land for feedlot runoff irrigation for your feedlot and the stormwater runoff associated with the design storm. 960880 PAGE 3 . For most years, when the runoff water volume is far less than the 25-year design storm runoff, an alfalfa crop can fully utilize the -nutrients contained in the stored feedlot runoff water .

Design and operation standards 45. 1 Livestock Confinement Operations. 45. 1 . 1 The operation is located more than 50 feet from any State or Federal highway right-of-way. 45. 1 .2 Manure is stockpiled in the feedlot pens - and applied to adjacent farmland at recommended rates for crop fertilization and soil improvement. 45. 1 .3 Rodents and insects are controlled as needed in accordance with procedures specified by chemical products and with good "housekeeping" practices. 45. 1. 4 Concrete aprons exist adjacent to all feedbunks and water tanks. 45. 1. 5 industrial loaders are used to clean manure from the pens and to eliminate low areas where stormwater may accumulate. 45. 1.6 Although there are no rivers, streams or lakes adjacent to the feedlot, drainage facilities exist to collect runoff from the feedlot area. The water is then pumped and applied to cropland for its nutrient value. The applicant is in the process of designing and upgrading the runoff control system to insure that it meets Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Division, Confined Animal Feeding Operations Control Regulation 4.8.0. Improvements are planned to continue to divert uncontaminated stormwater runoff around the feedlot area. All stormwater and drainage in contact with feedlot manure will continue to be directed to collection areas. Small collection facilities used in conjunction with larger bermed areas will meet the 25-year, 24-hour runoff event criteria in the regulations. Pumping capacity will enable the full capacity of • the control facility to be regained within the 15-day requirement. 960880 6.
