Pivot Energy Inc. — Planning Questionnaire
1. Explain the proposed use and business name.
• Pivot Solar 58 LLC and Pivot Solar 60 LLC c/o Pivot Energy Inc. (collectively, "Pivot") is seeking to
construct two directly co -located solar gardens in Weld County that will total approximately 5.6 MWac
in size on the following parcel: 080323200022.
• The projects will be built on approximately 35 contiguous acres.
• Pivot Solar 58 LLC will deliver electricity to Xcel Energy for 20 years through the Utility's
"Solar*Rewards Community" program. After the program sunsets, Pivot intends to enter into a power
purchase agreement with the utility to continue providing clean energy to Weld County between years
20-40, which is the full term of the lease (40 yrs).
• Pivot Solar 60 LLC will deliver electricity to a local energy consumer via Xcel Energy's "Solar*Rewards
Offsite" program. This program is similar to Xcel's "Solar Rewards Community" program but allows for
larger power consumers to subscribe to a larger amount of solar.
• Dual use "agrivoltaics" — projects that incorporate agricultural uses with solar energy production — are
a priority for Pivot's portfolio of sites undergoing permitting in 2024. Depending on site characteristics,
tenant farmer availability, and project financials, Pivot will evaluate whether the secondary
agricultural use will take the form of sheep grazing or crop production underneath the panels, with a
strong preference towards the latter. Based on a preliminary review of this site, Pivot feels confident
that crop production is feasible under the panels and will keep planning staff updated on findings
during the development process.
• The panels are expected to be less than ten feet above grade at their highest point, and Pivot commits
to following the Weld County Code for panel height restrictions. The panels will be surrounded by a
decorative wildlife friendly game fence, similar to what the Colorado Department of Transportation
("CDOT") and Colorado Parks and Wildlife ("CPW") use. Their exact height is subject to final structural
engineering.
• The project lease area will include panels and inverters mounted on steel posts/beams, concrete -pad -
mounted transformers and other electrical equipment, an access drive with hammerhead emergency
turn -around, and perimeter fencing with gates.
• The solar array will be designed to meet the maximum wind and snow loads applicable in Weld County.
In addition, the panels themselves have a manufacturer warranty of at least 25 years.
• Generally, a contracted Operations and Maintenance ("O&M") crew of one to four people will visit the
site four to eight times annually for routine inspections, maintenance, and vegetation control and on
an as -needed basis to address equipment outages. There will be no permanent staff on the site, which
will be remotely monitored.
• Upon the conclusion of the project's useful life, the project owner will remove all project materials
and return the property to the landowner in the originally leased condition, minus any vegetation and
grading. Please reference the attached Decommissioning Plan for more information.
2. Explain the need for we propose() use.
• The Weld County Comprehensive Plan states that one of the County's top priorities is preserving
landowner rights and creating an environment conducive to local economic growth, all while
maintaining the overall well-being of the local population. Specifically, the code plan states "...the goal
of the Comprehensive Plan [is] to promote opportunities for County Citizens, while protecting private
pivotenergy.net
`� r Pivot
���I► Energy
Pivot Energy Inc. — Planning Questionnaire
property rights."
• Pivot's ground lease presents an advantageous opportunity for the County to generate additional
revenue, which will go toward funding local schools and other public resources. Revenues from this
project would far exceed any revenues that would be collected from agricultural leases on the same
acreage.
• This project will also provide reduced -cost energy to customers of Xcel Energy located in Weld County
and across the state.
3. Describe the current and previous use of the I2fd
• The land is currently zoned agricultural. In the past, the land has been used for agricultural
production.
4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residence.
• On November 17, 2023, all abutters to the property were sent a USPS priority mail envelope
containing a letter notifying them of the project, addressing frequently asked questions, and
providing contact information at Pivot.
• In addition, a community meeting was held on December 4, 2023, at the Farr Regional Library in
Greeley. Invitations were included in the USPS priority mail envelopes, and neighbors within a 1600
foot radius were invited to the meeting. No neighbors attended the meeting, and no comments were
received via email or phone call.
• The proposed project is located solely on the southern two thirds of the property, and all nearby
residences are located more than 500 feet from the project's boundary.
5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is comnatible with them.
• The surrounding land uses are a mix of agricultural, oil and gas, and rural residential units.
• There are no residences located within 500 feet of the project boundary.
• As a low -impact use, solar energy naturally co -exists well with agricultural and oil and gas operations.
It produces no sound, light, or traffic, and is an unmanned operation with the exception of 4-8
annual visits by a small maintenance crew (1-2 pickup trucks). Pivot's solar facilities use pollinator -
friendly, low growth seed mixes, and blend into the natural landscape.
6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e. Monday thru Friday 8 AM to 5 PM)
• During construction, crews will be on -site from approximately 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Monday -Friday.
Most vehicles will arrive early in the morning (7:00 to 9:00 am) and will begin departing the
construction site around 3:00 pm.
• Once constructed, the site will be unmanned but the solar farm will generate electricity during
daylight hours each day of the year.
• Operations and maintenance crews will be on -site up to eight times annually for up to four hours per
visit.
7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors. If shift work is
proposed, detail number of employees, schedule, and duration if shifts.
• During the construction phase, there will be a crew made up of approximately 40 people on site each
day. The construction crew will consist of project managers, laborers, electricians, civil contractors,
and any other necessary personnel for the project. Once construction is complete, there will rarely
be personnel on site, generally limited to a local grazer, tenant farmer, and/or O&M crew during
their scheduled trips.

21. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per Chapter 22 of the
Weld County Code.
• In Section 22-2-10 C, the County Code states that one of its guiding principles is to Promote Economic
Growth and Sustainability. The proposed project is a PV solar facility that generates electricity without
generating any emissions. This project will last for 20-40 years, bringing the County economic revenue
and support. This project will further Weld County's stated goal of encouraging the development of
alternative energy sources as a hedge against the volatility of traditional energy sources.
• In Section 22-2-60 A, the County Code states the importance of Wildlife in the County. The proposed
project will be surrounded by a wildlife friendly game fence to ensure no animals are trapped within
the project area. Studies of the project area did not reveal any nexus with any protected, threatened,
or endangered species or their habitats. In addition, Pivot will work with Colorado Parks and Wildlife
to ensure the project meets any necessary requirements.
• In Section 22-2-60 B, the County Code states it aim to support responsible energy and mineral
development. Solar is both an alternative and sustainable energy source that does not emit any odors
and has limited vehicle traffic once construction is complete. In addition, the agricultural land that the
solar facility is on will be preserved throughout the lifespan of the solar array and can be used for
agricultural purposes following the life cycle of the system. This development will not generate any
perceivable noise and therefore complies with this development requirement.
22. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is located. (Intent
statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in Article III of Chapter 23 of the
Weld County Code.)
• Section 23-3-10 of the County code states: The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide
areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural
production, and for areas for natural resource extraction and energy development, without the
interference of other, incompatible land uses
• The solar facility will not have any negative effects on the agricultural land beneath it. Pivot will seed
the ground beneath the solar array with a native seed mixture that will help preserve the agricultural
land.
• In addition, Pivot is evaluating dual use "agrivoltaics" on this site, as explained in question 1, which
will further align with the intent of the zoning district.
23. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area or adopted
master piPnc of 2ff9cted municipalUtlec.
• The solar array will use native seed mixture or agricultural crop production that will help maintain
high -quality soils for any future agricultural production following the life cycle of the array.
• Please see the supplemental Decommissioning Plan document for additional information.
24. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of
the neighborhood and the County.
• The proposed solar array will meet the health, safety, and welfare goals of the County because the
array will not produce any odors or fumes. The solar array will help produce clean, long-term energy
for the County, therefore meeting the goals of maintaining a healthy society.

25. Describe any irrigation features. If the proposed use is to be located in the A (Agricultural) Zone District,
explain your efforts to roncPrkfe prime agriculture! Hind in the !ocatinnal dPrks on for the pronoced! 4 ucP.
• Pivot is currently reviewing dual use "agrivoltaics" at this site. Depending on site characteristics, tenant
farmer availability, and project financials, Pivot will evaluate whether the secondary agricultural use
will take the form of sheep grazing or crop production underneath the panels, with a strong preference
towards the latter.
• If crop production is found to be a feasible secondary use, Pivot will be installing subsurface drip
irrigation to irrigate the proposed crop production. The property currently uses flood irrigation for
farming operations, with water rights leased by the owner from Cache La Poudre Reservoir Company.
If it is feasible to proceed with crop production onsite, Pivot will work with the owner and tenant
farmer to ensure enough water is available to irrigate the portion of the property within the project
boundary. According to the USGS, drip irrigation uses up to 25% less water than flood irrigation due
to greatly reduced losses from evaporation.
26. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the proposal is located
within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a
Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps officially adopted by the County.
• This site is located within the Greeley -Weld County Airport Overlay zone. The project will not exceed
any height limitations, will not have any onsite lighting, will not create any visual impairment, will not
create any electrical interference, and will not create additional bird strike hazard.
27. Detail known State or reaeral permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status of each permit.
Provide a copy of any application or permit.
• There are no State or Federal permits associated with the project besides state electrical permit and

Thanks Chris,
To answer your questions:
1. Yes, the property is currently flood irrigated with water rights leased from Cache La
Poudre Reservoir Company.
2. If we determine that Agrivoltaic crop production is feasible onsite, we would be
installing subsurface drip irrigation using the same water that the owner already has
rights to. The portion of the property outside of the solar farm area would continue to be
farmed regardless of if Agrivoltaics are possible. Please see question 25 in the updated
planning questionnaire (from 1/30) for more detailed answers to both of these questions.
Additionally, I've attached Donna Newton's (trustee, Elizabeth Anne Newton Trust)
authorization form here. Chris Cannon's form should be in later today.
Thanks

Dear Bradley,
I will proceed with setting up the case. Given that this is coming up with several of these
solar USRs — can you please provide a response to the following questions:
1. The property is identified as Prime if Irrigated — is irrigation water/water rights
associated with the property?
2. Where will water be obtained for Agrivoltaics — should the applicant choose to use
this option?

Pivot Energy Inc. — Development Standards Statement
The statement shall demonstrate how the proposed facility complies with the following
development standards for Solar Energy Facilities:
1. Height limitation. Ground -mounted solar collectors shall not exceed twenty-five (25)
feet in height, measured from the highest grade below each solar panel to the highest
extent of the solar panel rotation.
The ground -mounted solar facility will not exceed 25 feet in height, as measured from the
highest grade below each solar panel to the highest extent of the solar panel rotation.
2. Glare. Concentrated solar glare from solar collectors shall not be directed toward or
onto nearby properties or roadways at any time of the day.
A glare study using ForgeSolar has determined that there are no glare concerns with the
proposed project in the desired location.
3. Setbacks. The improved area shall conform to the setback requirements of the
underlying zone. Additionally, the improved area must be at least five hundred (500) feet
from existing residential buildings and residential lots of a platted subdivision or planned
unit development. The residential setback requirement may be reduced if appropriate
screening through landscape or an opaque fence is installed, or upon submittal to Weld
County of a waiver or informed consent signed by the residence owner agreeing to the
lesser setback. If landscaping or opaque fencing is substituted for setback, a landscaping
plan or fencing plan shall first be submitted to and approved by the Department of
Planning Services.
Pivot acknowledges the Agricultural zone requirements. The improved area will be at least
500 feet from existing residential buildings and residential lots of a platted subdivision or
planned unit development.
4. Dust mitigation. The operators of the 5 ACRE SEF shall continuously employ the
practices for control of fugitive dust detailed in their dust mitigation plan submitted as
required by Subsection B.2., above.
Please see the attached Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan that lays out the employment of
practices for control of fugitive dust.
5. Underground cables. All electrical cables on the improved area shall be buried, except

Pivot Energy Inc. — Decommissioning Plan
Weld County requires that Pivot Solar 58 LLC and Pivot Solar 60 LLC c/o Pivot Energy Inc., ("Pivot") submit a
Decommissioning plan to the Department of Planning Services as part of the final administrative review and
approval process for a Solar Generation facility. Our estimate of the decommissioning costs is $22,500 per MW,
totaling approximately $126,000.
The useful life of the solar facility is expected to be at least 20 -years. At the end of the project's useful life, Pivot
will suspend operations and decommission the plant, which will include any necessary demolition, removal of
above and below ground equipment, and site reclamation efforts. Pivot's obligation under the Solar Lease
Agreement is to return the site to the landowner in substantially the same condition that the property was in prior
to the improvements being made.
This document establishes a detailed plan for decommissioning and reclamation activities once the project
reaches the end of its useful life. The proposed activities will likely need to be refined throughout the project's
life to reflect future best practices of the solar industry.
Pivot has assumed the planning process will be initiated one to two years prior to the anticipated end of
commercial operation. The final plans will be developed in consultation with Weld County and any other
applicable agencies that have jurisdiction of activities in the decommissioning process.
1. Decommissioning Project Elements and Milestones
The key tasks of project decommissioning are divided into related activities that represent milestones in the
process. Each activity is described in further detail below. The decommissioning schedule reflects the conceptual
timing of the milestones and overall process.
The individual project components to be decommissioned will either be 1) recycled or reused to the maximum
extent practicable, or 2) removed from the site and disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal facility. The
general decommissioning approach will be the same whether a portion of, or the entire Project is
decommissioned.
The activities involved in the facility closure will depend on the expected future use of the site. Certain facility
equipment and features may be left in place at the property owner's request, such as transmission facilities, roads,
and drainage features. At the time of decommissioning, a plan will be submitted to the County proposing the
equipment that will be removed and, if applicable, equipment that will remain, based on expected future use of
the site.
Pre -closure activities include final closure and reclamation planning, which identifies measures to be taken to
restore the site to near pre -construction conditions. This includes but is not limited to the following:
• Complete an analysis of the project materials and their composition to identify those specific components
that may be recycled, re -used, scrapped, or sent to disposal sites; as well as identifying specific recycling
facilities and disposal sites for materials.
• Coordinate with local officials to obtain permits and develop plans for the transportation of materials and
equipment to and from the site.
• Develop specifications for demolition and reclamation, which will serve as the basis for contractor bids for
decommissioning the project and establish the scope of demolition and reclamation, including developing
reclamation plans in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

tr-('Pivot
1 Energy
Pivot Energy Inc. — Decommissioning Plan
During the planning process Pivot will brief the County and other applicable agencies on the decommissioning
process and plans. All necessary permits and approvals required for the decommissioning will be obtained prior
to commencing operations.
The first step in the decommissioning process will be assessing existing site conditions and preparing the site for
demolition. Site decommissioning and equipment removal is expected to take up to one year. Therefore, access
roads, fencing, some electrical power, and other facilities will temporarily remain in place for use by the
decommissioning workers until no longer needed. Demolition debris will be placed in temporary onsite storage
areas pending final transportation and disposal and/or recycling according to the procedures listed below.
A plan will be implemented for de -energizing portions of the facility to allow safe decommissioning and formal
lock out and tag out procedures. This will ensure all electrical components are placed and maintained in a safe
condition for demolition activities prior to the start of work.
PV Module and Tracker Removal and Recycling
During decommissioning, project components that are no longer needed will be removed from the site and
recycled, reused or disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal facility. The first operation is to disconnect
and remove modules from the tracker assemblies.
Next, the tracker and mounting structures, DC wiring materials, and combiner boxes will all be assembled and
segregated for disposal or salvage. Steel piles that support the PV racking system will be removed and either re-
used or recycled to the maximum amount possible. Below ground portions of the supports will either be removed
or cut off at least two feet below ground surface and left in place.
The demolition debris and removed equipment will be safely removed from the premises and transported to an
appropriately licensed disposal facility or recycling center. Photovoltaic modules will either be re -used, recycled
or disposed of in accordance with applicable laws at the time of decommissioning.
Roads
Onsite access roads will remain in place during the decommissioning process. The roads may remain intact after
decommissioning if the property owner deems them beneficial for the future use of the site. Roads that will not
be used after the solar project's decommissioning will be removed at the end of the process.
Fencing
Project site perimeter fencing will be removed at the end of the decommissioning project, unless it may be utilized
for future use of the site and the property owner requests the fence remain in place. This includes the removal of
all posts, fencing material, gates, etc. to return the site to pre -project condition.
Transportation and Cleanup
During the disassembly and demolition process, materials will be segregated and temporarily placed in gathering
areas for transportation. Various materials including, but not limited to, concrete, steel, aluminum, and copper
will be temporarily stockpiled at or near a designated processing location pending transport to an appropriate
offsite recycling facility. All such materials will then be transported from the site to approved designated facilities
for recycling, scrapping or disposal. All metals will be recycled to the extent practical given the recycling options
available at the time of decommissioning.
pivotenergy.net
tr-('Pivot
1 Energy
Pivot Energy Inc. — Decommissioning Plan
In general, the decommissioning will be undertaken using traditional heavy construction equipment including, but
not limited to, front end loaders, cranes, track mounted and rubber -tired excavators, bull dozers, and scrapers.
Areas where excavation is required will be backfilled with natural material and compacted. Any voids left from
the removal of foundations will be backfilled with surrounding subsoil and topsoil and fine graded to ensure
suitable drainage and reclamation of natural grades.
Soil management and re -contouring operations will be conducted to minimize the surface area disturbance and
implement the activities in the safest and most efficient manner and in accordance with applicable local
requirements. Major earthwork is not anticipated as construction of the site will not alter the general grade across
the site.
To account for post -decommissioning dust control, areas of exposed soils will be revegetated, consistent with the
expected future use of the site and State or County requirements. The native dry grass vegetation will be re-
established to prevent the spread of weeds. Mulching or palliatives may be used for temporary dust control until
vegetation is established.
Monitoring Site Restoration
Upon completion of the decommissioning process, a one-year restoration monitoring period will begin.
Monitoring will ensure that grading and drainage implemented is successful in stabilizing water flow patterns and
that the cover vegetation (native dry grass vegetation or other depending on land use) will be reestablished to
prevent the spread of weeds. Corrective actions will be implemented if such monitoring determines adverse
conditions are present because of an inadequate restoration.
2. Decommissioning/ Reclamation Cost Estimates
Pivot commits to working together with the County to update the cost estimates every five years from the
establishment and submittal of the security bond. The cost estimates will include all costs associated with the
dismantling, recycling, and safe disposal of facility parts and site reclamation activates and consider the salvage
value of the facility.
Initial cost estimate (2023):
Fencing
$3,800
Structures
$51,700
Modules
$37,800
Electrical
$18,900
Site

Land Disturbance and Drainage Information
Existing Ground Surface Conditions, Drainage Patterns and Imperviousness
The 38.02 acre solar facility project area may be characterized as undeveloped agricultural land. The
applicable FIRM Map (No. 08123C1710E), included in Appendix A, indicates that the Project site is
located in a Zone X floodplain which is an area of minimal flood hazard. Based on NRCS soils data
(also included in Appendix A), the site soils are identified as clay loam classified as Hydrologic Soil
Group C. As shown on Figure 1 in Appendix A, the site ground surface generally slopes at an average
of 0-1 percent from northwest to southeast of the Project site. In general, storm water is conveyed
across the Project area toward the southern and eastern property lines.
Land Disturbance Activities
The site improvements considered as land disturbance activities include installation of: (i) all-weather
gravel surface driveway, (ii) concrete equipment pads, and (iii) Class VI equipment pads:
Gravel Access Drive — one all-weather gravel surface access drives will extend from existing
Private Drive. Given the site soils, a 12 -inch -thick gravel Class VI base surface (consistent
with similar solar facility access drives within Weld County) is proposed. This depth of gravel
over compacted subgrade is sufficient to provide routine and emergency access to the
(ii) Concrete Equipment Pads — Concrete equipment pads will be installed beneath inverters and
transformers and other electrical equipment as required with the development. The pads will
be at least 8 -inches thick with reinforcing steel.
(iii) Class VI Equipment Pads — Class VI road base equipment pads will be installed beneath
other electrical equipment as required with the development. The pads will be at least 12 -
inches thick over compacted subgrade.
Lastly, components of the 38.02 acre solar facility will include up to 16000 solar panels placed on steel
H -piles driven into the ground. Since the solar panels will be tracking panels (rotate through the day to
track the path of the sun), the ground surface vegetation beneath the panels will continue to grow.
Some minimal grubbing may be necessary to prepare the site with planned native seed mixes. Onsite
conditions at the time of seeding will dictate necessity of such methods. The purpose of the seeding is
to increase the density of native vegetation; therefore, the grubbing is not considered land disturbance
(if it is necessary).
Land Disturbance Area
A total of approximately 42820 sf or 0.98 acres of the Project area is anticipated to be disturbed. The

Basin Conditions
The footprint of the solar facility and access drive along with the areas delineated by oil setbacks is
considered to be the subject drainage area under both existing and proposed conditions.
The existing condition basin (identified as basin X1 on Figure 1) was analyzed to calculate the peak
runoff for the design storm using an imperviousness percentage of 25%. This percentage is based on
the soil type and existing conditions of the site.
The proposed condition basin (identified as basin Al on Figure 1) was analyzed to calculate the peak
runoff for the design storm using an impervious percentage of 25.42%. This percentage is based on
the majority of the site remaining as 25% impervious, 0.94 acres changing to 40% impervious (access
drive area), 0.02 acres changing to 100% impervious (concrete pad area), and 0.02 acres changing to
40% impervious (Class VI pad area). It should be noted that the tracking solar panels are not classified
as ground surface because precipitation falling on the solar panels will shed onto the undisturbed
vegetated surface below.
Stormwater Runoff
The stormwater runoff for existing and proposed conditions is calculated based on the Rational
Method. The 100 -year, 1 -hour storm event was analyzed for basins Al and X1. The flow path for the
basins is generally from northwest to southeast on the Project site. The average ground surface slope
along the flow path is 0.3%. The time of concentration to this point was calculated using MHFD
equations are summarized below and can be found on the MHFD Peak Runoff Prediction by the
Rational Method form in Appendix A. The Runoff Coefficients are also included in the MHFD Peak

Under developed conditions, runoff will follow existing drainage patterns and will not significantly
increase peak flows (increase from 71.17 cfs to 71.56 cfs).
Detention Requirements
It is understood solar facilities developed within Type C and/or Type D soils are exempt from the
requirement to provide detention per Sec. 8-11-40 (I) if the total proposed impervious area is less than
4,500 sf. This solar project proposes 40923 sf of gravel drive at 40% impervious, 918 sf of concrete
pads at 100% impervious, and 979 sf of Class VI pads at 40% impervious, for a composite impervious
area of 17679 sf.
The Project is exploring the possibility of proposing the use of permeable pavers for the access drive
instead of gravel. Permeable pavers do not add to the imperviousness of the Site, and would therefore
reduce the total propsed impervious area to 917 sf of concrete pads at 100% impervious, and 1600 sf
of class VI pads at 40% impervious, for a composite impervious area of 1840 sf. This approach would
exempt the project from the requirement to provide detention per Sec. 8-11-40 (I).
Alternatively, the project could continue to propose Class VI gravel for the access drives and provide
on -site detention. Since the layout is unknown at this time, detention calculations will be provided at a
later time if this option is used.
Summary
The following list summarizes key components of the Project and findings related to land disturbance
and storm water impacts.
1. Installation of the solar facility will temporarily disturb the ground surface within the
38.02 acre project area but won't require clearing and grubbing of vegetation or
grading, except for concrete equipment pad and gravel access drive installation.
2. Grubbing may be required to provide appropriate conditions for seeding. It is intended
for the vegetation throughout the site to be improved as a result, therefore is not
considered land disturbance.
The areas considered impervious (918 SF of 100% impervious concrete pads) or semi -
impervious (40923 SF of 40% impervious gravel access drive and 979 sf of 40 sf Class
VI pads) total 0.98 acres, or 2.58% of the 38.02 acre solar facility area.
4. Under existing conditions, the peak flow originating from the solar facility area for the
100 yr — lhr storm event is 71.17 cfs.
5. Under developed conditions, the peak flow originating from the solar facility area for the
100 yr- 1 hr storm event is71.56cfs.
6. The solar facility is located within Type C/D soils; therefore detention is not required if
the total additional impervious area is less than 4,500 sf. Permeable pavers are planned
to be installed.
Weld County Planning and Building Department

7. Since the land disturbance is less than 1 acre, a CDPS storm water certificate issued by
CDPHE is not required for this Project.
8. Installation and operation of the solar facility is not expected to impact existing drainage
patterns or flow rates on or around the Project site. Runoff water quality will not be
impacted by the solar facility components.
9. The Project design will adequately protect public health, safety and general welfare and
have no adverse effects on offsite properties.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
6

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Pivot Energy Inc. — Dust Mitigation Plan
Stormwater best management practices will be followed to mitigate dust and debris during the
construction process.
Construction staff are responsible for dust control and will determine which of the following
methods are needed to accommodate the specific site and weather conditions:
• Sprinkling/irrigation- Sprinkle ground surface with water to moisten the area and
control dust. Extra watering may be considered for haul roads and other traffic routes.
• Vegetative cover- Vegetative cover may be used in areas where construction staff do
not designate for vehicle traffic. Vegetative cover can help reduce wind velocity at the
ground surface, therefore reducing dust accumulation.
• Mulch- The use of mulch may be used as a useful dust control method for a recently
disturbed area.
• Wind breaks- Wind break barriers might be used to reduce the intensity of the wind
throughout the site.
• Stone- Stone may be used atop portions of the site to reduce the amount of dust that
will be kicked up into the air.

Pivot Energy Inc. - Landscape and Screening Plan
Pivot Solar 58 LLC and Pivot Solar 60 LLC c/o Pivot Energy Inc., (collectively, the "project"), is being
constructed near the intersection of Weld County Road 47 and CO-392/Weld County Road 68.
The site is approximately 35 acres and is located directly north and west of Pivot Solar 28 LLC.
Other nearby uses include agriculture, as well as oil and gas. Solar facilities present a low profile,
especially when compared to other operational energy and commercial facilities already present
on and near the property. As such, these installations generate very little visual impact to
n eighboring properties and typically require little in the way of visual buffering.
The main strategy employed to lessen visual impact of the proposed installation is to site the
facility at the greatest feasible distance from any residences on neighboring properties and from
the right-of-way. The solar site is strategically designed on the site to be situated on the south
two thirds of the parcel. The applicant intends to provide a 500 -foot buffer between the solar
e quipment and any neighboring residential parcels. In addition, the applicant proposes to
surround the facility with a decorative, wildlife friendly game fence which will serve to break up
the visual impact of the facility when viewed from adjoining properties. Within the fence line and
on any other areas disturbed during construction, applicant aims to utilize dual -use crop
production underneath the panels. In the absence of crop production, the applicant will establish
n ative, low -growth, pollinator -friendly grasses in keeping with vegetation common for the area
to allow the project area to blend in with the surroundings.

solar garden with approximately 12,000 tracking solar panels mounted on steel I -beams; concrete pad
mounted inverters and transformers; an access drive with emergency turn -around and perimeter fence
with gate.
Construction Schedule
It's currently anticipated that the Use by Special Review Permit will be issued by Weld County on or
before March 01, 2024. Accordingly, a construction start/mobilization date of April 01, 2024 has been
established. Based on this, the following preliminary schedule is currently considered:
• Driveway and material staging area prep April 01, 2024 - April 21, 2024
• Solar Facility Component Delivery
• Perimeter Fence Installation
• Solar Panel Foundation Installation
• Transformer and Inverter Installation
• Solar Panel Installation
Designated Travel Route
April 22, 2024 — June 02, 2024
May 03, 2024 — June 02, 2024
June 02, 2024 - September 02, 2024
September 03, 2024 — October 01, 2024
October 04, 2024 — December 31, 2024
The designated access route is: State Highway 85 north to State Highway 392/WCR 68, State
Highway 392/ WCR 68 east to WCR 47. WCR 47 south to an existing gravel access road on the SW
corner of the site. Figure 1 illustrates the access route. The following is a brief description of the
access route roadways.
SH-85 — State Highway 85 in the vicinity of State Highway 392/ WCR 68 is a 4 -lane asphalt -paved
road with left turn lanes and acceleration/deceleration lanes; and a posted speed limit of 65mph.
It's anticipated that 100 percent of material deliveries will be from the south.
SH 392/ WCR 68 - State Highway 392/ WCR 68 in the vicinity of WCR 47 is a 2 -lane asphalt -
paved road and a posted speed limit of 65mph. The road surface appears to be in good condition.
WCR 47 — The +/- 2,000' segment of WCR 47 included in the travel route is a 4 -lane, asphalt -
paved road with intermittent bar ditches. The road surface appears to be in good condition. It's
anticipated that all material deliveries will travel WCR 47 from SH 392/ WCR 68.

As illustrated in Table 1, the majority of traffic generated as a result of solar garden installation shall
occur during the 9 -month solar garden installation (max 79/ave 40vtpd). This traffic will generally be
site worker passenger vehicles.
The majority of heavy truck traffic including conex container delivery (total of 510-850 conex
containers/delivery trucks) and equipment (rubber tire loader, pile driver, forklift) delivery and pickup
will travel to and from the Project between 9:30 AM and noon and 1:30PM and 4:00PM.
Project related traffic during all phases will not be significant during AM and PM peak periods (7:30
9:00 AM and 4:30 — 6:00 PM, respectively).

IV. Conclusions
1. The Project is expected to generate up to 79 vehicle trips per day during material and
equipment delivery (anticipated to be up to one month at the beginning of the project
and one month at the end of the project), up to 64 vehicle trips per day during solar
garden installation (6-7 months) and up to 2 vehicle trips per month during solar garden
operation.
2. Site preparation and solar garden installation anticipated to begin in April 2024 and be
completed in December 2024.
3. The phase with the greatest amount of traffic (79 vtpd material and equipment delivery)
is expected to occur over a 4-5 week period (April 2024 — June 2024).
4. Daily Project related truck traffic is not expected to impact AM and PM peak traffic
periods.
5. Sight distance at the Project entrance is well over 1,000 feet both east and west along
WCR 47.
6. Access to the project site is through an existing driveway. Therefore, a Weld County
Access permit will not be required.
7. As proposed, the solar garden site preparation, installation and ongoing
inspection/maintenance is not anticipated to create adverse traffic related impacts on
Weld County roads. Based on anticipated vehicle type and weight, the project is not
anticipated to degrade/damage Weld County roads and a Public Works Improvement
Agreement is not likely warranted.
We trust that this Traffic Impact Letter for the Pivot Energy Solar Facility on the Newton Trust (PS58 &
PS60) is acceptable and complete. Please contact me at rick.hagmayer@enertiacg.com or (609) 234-
5502 should you require additional information.
