Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support and Service Facility
(Compressor Station) identified as the Pintail Compressor Station. A compressor station helps the
transportation process of natural gas from one location to another. Natural gas, while being transported
through a pipeline, needs to be constantly pressurized in certain distance intervals.
The gas in the Pintail Compressor Station will be pressurized by an electric motor driven centrifugal
compressor. The Pintail Compressor Station is required to expand and enhance the existing natural gas
being collected from nearby gathering systems and will compress the gas for delivery to pipelines for
processing at existing P66 gas plants.
The facility will consist of a compressor station approximately 600' x 450', containing one (1) main gas
compressor fully housed in a metal building, one (1) 90,000 gallon slug catcher and one (1) 90,000 gallon
condensate tank both mounted on concrete pedestal supports, one (1) electrical PDC (power distribution
center) building elevated on concrete piers, one (1) TEG dehydration contactor tower and process skid with
electric heater reboiler, three (3) separate types of Vapor Recovery Units (VRU's), one (1) enclosed
combustor, supporting facility equipment such as process coolers, scrubbers, filters, coalescers,
separators, pig launchers & receivers, storage tanks, meters, piping, and ancillary equipment to be located
as indicated on the provided Site Plan; a substation approximately 200' x 110', containing one (1) 35 MVA
115/13.8 kV transformer and one (1) 20 MVAR capacitance bank; a detention pond approximately 300' x
100'; and a five (5) -acre temporary construction laydown yard. The substation and compressor station will
support the enhancement of the existing natural gas being collected from nearby gathering systems and
will compress the gas for delivery to pipelines for processing at existing P66 gas plants.
Gas will be transported to and from the facility by existing and proposed pipelines that will be permitted by
the Weld County Oil and Gas Energy Department under Location Assessment of Pipeline (LAP) permits.
The facility will be unmanned during operation, with occasional visits for maintenance and routine
monitoring. During operation, the facility will be monitored remotely at all times to allow for immediate
response to spills or releases.
During construction there is estimated to be twelve (12) trucks and forty (40) passenger vehicles on site
with peak hours being around 7am and 3pm. Construction activities are expected to last nine (9) months.
After construction, the site will be graveled and fenced with minimum downcast lighting and operational
twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year. One (1) to
two (2) employees will visit the site one (1) to two (2) times a day to perform routine maintenance, with five
(5) to fifteen (15) employees per week. There will be no customers on site. Screened portable toilets, hand
washing units and bottled water can be utilized during construction.
All waste will be stored, handled, transported, treated, recycled, or disposed of in accordance with federal,
state, and county regulations, to prevent any significant adverse environmental impact on air, water, soil,
or biological resources. During operations, roll -off dumpsters will be located on site and serviced by a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste generated at the facility is expected to be minimal. Upon
successful completion of construction, disturbed soil areas will be seeded with native grasses to support
vegetation growth, soil stabilization and to prevent erosion.
The subject property was previously permitted for an Open Mining (topsoil), USR23-0018, recorded
December 20, 2023, via reception number 4936562. Due to USR23-0018 being on site, USR23-0041 was
placed on hold pending a technical revision with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety
, a new approximately forty (40) acre parcel being created, and a partial vacation for the newly created forty
(40) acres.
USR23-0041 I DCP Operating Company, LP
Page 2 of 10
The applicant created the new approximately forty (40) acre parcel on November 8, 2024, per reception
number 4993673. Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety issued a release of acreage for
the approximate forty (40) acres, stating that it has been mined, and the parcel has been reclaimed
according to the approved reclamation plan on June 2, 2025. The applicant submitted a partial vacation
request for USR23-0018, that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 21, 2025.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-30.A.1 states: "Land use changes should not inhibit agricultural production
nor operations."
The request for a compressor station does not inhibit agricultural production or operations.
The proposal is located on rangeland and has recently been a part of a Use by Special
Review for Open Mining (topsoil), USR23-0018, recorded December 20, 2023, via
reception number 4936562. The Board of County Commissioners approved a partial
vacation of the Use by Special Review on July 21, 2025, resulting in approximately forty
(40) acres being vacant. The property has not recently been farmed and therefore will not
negatively impact agricultural production and operations.
Section 22-2-60.8. states: "Support responsible energy and mineral development.
The request for a compressor station supports the local economy and the Oil and Gas
Industry by supporting the service of energy development and providing an alternative fuel
source.
Section 22-2-60.8.3. states: "Require that energy and mineral resource development
conserve the land and minimize the impact on surrounding land and the existing
surrounding land uses."
The proposed Compressor Station is located in an area of the County that already contains
oil and gas operations and facilities. The proposed site is surrounded by agricultural fields
and few residents. Once the construction is completed disturbed areas will be reseeded
with a native seed mix
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
Sec. 23-3-10. -- Intent, of the Weld County Code states. "Agriculture in the County is
considered a valuable resource which must be protected from adverse impacts resulting
from uncontrolled and undirected business, industrial and residential land uses. The A
(Agricultural) Zone District is established to maintain and promote agriculture as an
essential feature of the county. 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."
USR23-0041 I DCP Operating Company, LP

the (A) Agricultural Zone District. This code section allows the applicant to apply for the
Pintail Compressor Station, which directly supports the oil and gas industry in energy
development. Section 23-1-90. states that Oil and Gas Support and Service includes
natural gas compressor stations. This code section allows the applicant to apply for a
compressor station.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The adjacent lands consist of pastures, crops, and rural residences. There are two (2)
residences that are approximately 0.30 miles from the subject property line, one (1) to the
west of the subject property, and one (1) to the south.
There is currently a Use by Special Review on the property for Open Mining (USR23-0018).
The applicant has submitted a partial vacation for the Use by Special Review that was
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 21, 2025. The map outlining the

(USR-355AM), and a mineral resource development facility (5MJUSR17-83-542).
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to eight (8) surrounding
property owners within five hundred (500) feet. One (1) letter was received on December
18, 2023 outlining concerns regarding the property owner's son being extremely sensitive
to noise, the property owner suffering from migraines, and the proposed project producing
too much noise for herself and her son. This letter got sent to the applicant originally on
December 21, 2023.
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development the Development
Standards, and the Conditions of Approval will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility
on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses and the
region.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities.
