RE : Cloudbreak Energy Partners , LLC — Trappers' Trail Solar Project Review and
Request for Concurrence
Mr. Marette ,
Cloudbreak Energy Partners , LLC (Cloudbreak) is seeking assistance with identifying
developmental constraints for the Trappers' Trail solar project ( Project , Project Area) , a
proposed solar photovoltaic energy development . The Project Area occupies approximately
53 . 8 acres located east of County Road 39 and approximately '/4 mile south of County Road 86
in Weld County , Colorado (Township 5 Range 7N Section 65V� . Figure 1 illustrates the location
of the Projects .
TRC completed a Project- specific desktop analysis to identify critical development issues . The
following biological resources were identified within the Project Area (which contains both
Projects) :
• The Project Area consists mostly of agricultural lands including cultivated crops and
pasture/hay ; and grasslands/herbaceous cover according to the National Land Cover
Database ( Figure 2) .
• TRC conducted a wetland and waterbody analysis of the Project Area using U . S .
Geological Survey National Hydrography Dataset and U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service
National Wetlands Inventory desktop data . One wetland , classified as a palustrine
unconsolidated bottom semipermanently flooded ( PUBF) is mapped by NWI intersecting
the northeast portion of the Project Area . The Project Area does not sit within a Federal
Emergency Management Agency floodplain .
• The Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPV� Threatened and Endangered Species List
identifies 31 state- listed threatened and endangered species including one amphibian
species , eight bird species , 14 fish species , and eight mammal species . According to
CPW Species Activity Maps and High Priority Habitats GIS , the Project Area is within the
breeding range of the burrowing owl , the overall range of the Preble 's meadow jumping
mouse , and lies within a watershed known to support the brassy minnow . Based on an
assessment of each species' habitat requirements , range , and distribution , potentially
suitable habitat for the burrowing owl may be present within the Project Area .
• According to data from the CPW Wildlife Species Map Application , the Project Area lies
within bald eagle winter range . There are no known active or inactive bald eagle nest
sites in proximity of the Project Area . The Project Area is within the known golden eagle
year- round range . Although foraging habitat may be present , the Project Area lacks any
nesting substrate (cliffs or large trees) to support breeding golden eagles . Two portions

along the northern boundary of the site are located within designated mule deer severe
winter range ( Figure 2) .
• TRC , on behalf of Cloudbreak, requests CPW's review and concurrence of the
state-listed species findings . Cloudbreak will coordinate with CPW to develop
applicable avoidance and minimization measures , where required . If species- specific
surveys are required , please provide the preferred survey methodology . Project- specific
shapefiles have been provided to assist in your review.
If you have any questions regarding this request , please contact me at (970) 214-3338 and

SU �JECT: Alternatives Statement
Cloudbreak Energy Partners performed a rigorous search for ideal solar project locations across
the State of Colorado . This search included hundreds , if not thousands, of properties within
Weld County. The Reider' s property was chosen due to several factors including , but not
limited to :
• Close proximity to high quality Xcel Energy distribution infrastructure that has the
capacity for a project of this size
• Close proximity to Xcel Energy's Ault substation
• Outside of floodplains and wetlands
• Relatively flat
• No geotechnical constraints
• Landowner participation
• Limited disturbance to nearby properties and property owners
Alternatives to the Reider ' s property were thoroughly evaluated but were ultimately dismissed
due to at least one of the above factors . The proposed Project presents the most viable design
and location with the least adverse impacts of all the alternatives .

SU �JECT: Decommissioning Plan
Approach
��
CBEP Solar 17 , LLC has developed this decommissioning plan for the Trappers ' Trail Solar
Project, to be implemented after the contracted lease term has ended . CBEP Solar 17 , LLC , the
owner of the 5 . 80 MW AC Solar Energy Facility (SEF) will be responsible for the
decommissioning .
Decommissioning of the Project will include removal of all above and below- ground
infrastructure , including the arrays , inverter structures , concrete foundations and pads , and
electrical infrastructure . All fences, graveled areas and access roads shall be removed unless
landowner agreement to retain is presented , in writing , in which the property owner agrees for
this to remain . The property shall be restored to a condition reasonably similar to its condition
prior to development of the 5 . 80 MW AC SEF. Grading and re-vegetation will comply with all
applicable rules and regulations. Exclusions from the decommissioning plan include planting
trees , removing internal site roads , and re-grading to previous conditions. All non - utility owned
equipment, conduits, structures, fencing , and foundations to a depth of at least 3 ' below grade
shall be removed . Decommissioning activities will follow the CDOT best management practices
( BMPs) for erosion and sediment control and stormwater management that are applied during
project construction , or any new BMPs relevant at the time .
CBEP Solar 17 , LLC will decommission the Project once the contracted lease term is over, if the
lease term is not extended or renewed . Decommissioning may also be initiated if the project is
no longer viable , or in the case of a force majeure event (described below) . CBEP Solar 17 , LLC
will provide notice to Weld County prior to commencement of decommissioning the Project.
Estimated Timeline and Cost
Decommissioning/reclamation shall commence within 12 months after power production has
permanently ceased and be completed within 12 months from the start date of the
decommissioning/reclamation work. Decommissioning/reclamation cost estimates, which shall
be updated every five years from the establishment and submittal of the Security, shall include
all costs associated with the dismantlement, recycling , and safe disposal of facility components
and site reclamation activities, including the following elements :
(970) 425-3175 � INFO@CLOUDBRE�,KENERGY.COM � CLOUDBRE�,KENERGY.COM
CLOUDBREAK P ,ac E 2
• All labor, equipment, transportation , and disposal costs associated with the removal all
facility components from the facility site
• All costs associated with full reclamation of the facility site , including removal of
non - native soils, fences, and constructed access roads
• All costs associated with reclamation of any primary agricultural soils at the facility site
to ensure each area of direct impact shall be materially similar to the condition it was
before construction
• All decommissioning/reclamation activity management, site supervision , and site safety
costs
• All other costs , including administration costs, associated with the decommissioning
and reclamation of the facility site
• The established date of submission of the financial assurance mechanism to Weld
County
Prior to construction , CBEP Solar 17 , LLC will provide the County with an irrevocable standby
letter of credit, bond , or alternate form of financial assurance mechanism in an amount
sufficient to fund the estimated decommissioning costs required by the Code . The Security
shall :
• Name the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County as the sole beneficiary of
the letter of credit
• Be issued by an A- rated financial institution based upon a rating provided by S & P,
Moody's, Fitch , AM Best, or other rating agency with similar credentials
• Include an automatic extension provision or " evergreen clause "
• Be " bankruptcy remote " , meaning the financial assurance mechanism will be unaffected
by the bankruptcy of the SEF operator
Weld County, in its sole discretion , may approve alternative forms of a financial assurance
mechanism such as , but not limited to bonds , letters of credit, or other securities , if it finds that
such alternative forms will provide an assurance of the availability of financial resources for
decommissioning/reclamation that equals or exceeds that provided by the form required
herein .
Furthermore , Weld County shall have the right to draw upon the irrevocable standby letter of
credit, or other form of financial assurance mechanism , to pay for decommissioning in the
event that the holder has not commenced decommissioning/reclamation activities within 90
days of the Board of County Commissioners order or resolution directing
decommissioning/reclamation .
Continued Beneficial Use
If prior to decommissioning the Project , the landowner determines that any of the Project
components can be beneficially used on the land after disassembly, such items would be
(970) 425-3175 � INFO@CLOUDBRE�,KENERGY.COM � CLOUDBRE�,KENERGY.COM
CLOUDBREAK P ,qG E 3
exempt from the requirements for decommissioning . If a third party acquires the Project or a
portion of the Project, such third party would be responsible for providing evidence of a plan of
continued beneficial use for their relevant Project components .
Force Majeure
An exception to these requirements will be allowed for a force majeure event, which is defined
as any event or circumstance that wholly or partly prevents or delays the performance of any
material obligation arising under the Project permits , but only to the extent:
• Such event is not within the reasonable control , directly or indirectly, of CBEP Solar 17 ,
LLC (including without limitation events such as fire , earthquake , flood , tornado ,
hurricane , acts of God and natural disasters; war, civil strife or other similar violence) ;
• CBEP Solar 17 , LLC has taken all reasonable precautions and measures to prevent or
avoid such event or mitigate the effect of such event on CBEP Solar 17 , LLC's ability to
perform its obligations under the Project permits and which , by the exercise of due
diligence , it has been unable to overcome ; and
• Such event is not the direct or indirect result of the fault or negligence of CBEP Solar
17 , LLC .
In the event of a force majeure event, which results in the absence of electrical generation by
the Project for 12 months, CBEP Solar 17 , LLC must demonstrate to Weld County by the end of
the 12 months of non -operation that the Project will be substantially operational and producing
electricity within 24 months of the force majeure event. If such a demonstration is not made to
Weld County's satisfaction , then decommissioning of the Project must be initiated 18 months
after the force majeure event.

Subject : On -Site Drainage Study "03/ 10/2022 "
Cloudbreak Energy is pursuing the development of the Trappers' Trail project, a photovoltaic
energy generation facility at a 55 . 20-acre site located approximately 2 . 4 miles northeast Ault,
Colorado, alongside County Road 39 ( See Appendix A-Site Plans C301 & C302 ) . The existing
site is currently used for agricultural purposes with approximately 1% slopes . This drainage
study was prepared to summarize findings from performing a hydrologic analysis of the project
site to identify the potential stormwater impact from the proposed solar project and develop
appropriate drainage best management practices ( BMPs ) to address the impact . This drainage
study was prepared to comply with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria
( WCECC) Manual Requirements, updated January 2021 .
Proposed Project
The proposed solar project will consist of pole mounted photovoltaic ( PV) arrays . Ground
disturbance under the panels will be minimal; thus, existing perviousness of the soil will be
maintained under the solar cells allowing infiltration . Rainfall runoff from the panels will flow
under the pole mounted PV panels matching the pre-development flow patterns .
Additional improvements associated with this project are limited to gravel drives for vehicle
access and concrete pads for distribution transformers (see Appendix A — Site Plans C301 &
C302 ) . No public access or utility infrastructure improvements are anticipated at this time.
Site Drainage
Currently, the existing site does not have any regional retention or water quality features . The
soils in the area consist of hydrologic soil groups ( HSG ) A and C soils given by the Natural
Resources Conservation Service ( NRCS — Appendix B) . A drainage basin labeled as Drainage
Area A have been identified for the site with an approximate area of 55 . 20 acres . Any offsite
flows appear to follow the existing ditches and streams and are not expected to affect the
project site . See Appendix A for the drainage area maps and details .
A hydrologic analysis was prepared using the Rational Method based upon requirements from
the WCECC Manual . The analysis provided estimated peak flow rates for the 100-year storm
under both pre- and post-development conditions . The design rainfall depth for a 1 - hour,
Stormwater Drainage Study
100-year storm is 2 . 73 inches based upon NOAA Atlas 14 : Precipitation - Frequency Atlas . The
Rational Method equation shown below was used to determine the peak flow rates from
Drainage Area A. Runoff coefficients for various land uses were obtained from Table 5-2, Weld
County Engineering and Construction Criteria . The drainage area imperviousness and resulting
peak flow rates from pre-and post-development conditions are summarized below . See
Appendix C for the runoff coefficient calculations .
Q = C * 1 * A

Stormwater Drainage Study
Based upon the above results, the increase of impervious area would produce little increase
( approximately 1 . 5 % ) in the peak flow rate . Because of this, a detention basin facility will not be
proposed . Instead , a grass swale will be introduced on the south side to dissipate energy and
attenuate any potential flow increase from gravel roads and concrete pads .
Erosion Control/Stormwater Management Plan
Erosion control features such as silt fences and grass swales ( also mentioned above ) will be
installed on the site prior to construction activities . Such measures will be included in the
erosion control plan and detail sheets within the final construction documents . Grass swale
sizing calculations are summarized in Appendix D.
Conclusion
The drainage study and attached drainage maps were produced in accordance with
requirements from Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria Manual, updated January
2021 . The existing storm water flow characteristics are expected to remain unchanged and
increases in peak flow rates have been proven to be negligible. A basin type of storm water
detention would not be necessary.
Improvements proposed with the project site are limited to a gravel paved drive and a small
concrete distribution transformer pad . No public access or utility infrastructure improvements
are anticipated at this time . The proposed development will not alter historic drainage patterns
or adjacent and downstream property owners .

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential . Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation , are thoroughly wet , and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms .
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A , B , C , and D) and
three dual classes (A/D , B/D , and C/D ) . The groups are defined as follows :
Group A . Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential ) when
thoroughly wet . These consist mainly of deep , well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands . These soils have a high rate of water
transmission .
Group B . Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep ; moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture .
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission .
Group C . Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet . These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture . These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission .
Group D . Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential ) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential , soils that have a high water table , soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surtace , and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material . These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission .
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D , B/D , or C/D) , the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas . Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes .

� Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS) .
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency estimates
(for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5%. Estimates at upper
bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than curtently valid PMP values.

PF2OJECT: Trappers ' Trail Solar Project
SU �JECT: Dust Abatement Plan
The purpose and intent of this Dust Abatement Plan is to ensure that the Project complies with
applicable state and federal air quality standards. The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA)
sets forth the National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQs) pursuant to the Clean Air Act.
Air quality impacts associated with construction projects generally arise from fugitive dust
generation during the operation of heavy equipment. Colorado administers the NAAQS
through issuance of the Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN ) . The Project will not exceed the
NAAQS and will follow best management practices to ensure that the production of dust will
be controlled by the regular application of water to the Project. The Project will obtain an
APEN permit prior to construction .
Minimal dust is expected to be generated during construction and operations due to the
planned use of dust suppression best management practices and soil stabilization following
construction and throughout operations. During construction , CBEP Solar 17 , LLC and its
contractors will control dust by applying water to disturbed soils and soil piles to control
fugitive dust from blowing and impairing air quality.
Once the construction phase is completed , the site will be visited 1 -2 times per year for routine
maintenance and as needed for emergency maintenance . Disturbed areas not covered with
gravel as part of the Project design will be reseeded with native seed to revegetate disturbed
areas and hold soil in place , minimizing fugitive dust impacts during operations . CBEP Solar 17 ,
LLC would employ native revegetation methods or chemical control methods for infestations of
weeds during regular maintenance if necessary.

Dust Control :
• Minimal dust is expected to be generated during construction and operations due to
the planned use of dust suppression best management practices and soil stabilization
following construction and throughout operations. During construction , CBEP Solar 17 ,
LLC and its contractors will control dust by applying water to disturbed soils and soil
piles to control fugitive dust from blowing and impairing air quality.
• During the operations of the Project, the land under and around the Project will be
seeded with a native grass seed mixture , which will mitigate dust.
Weed Control :
• The site will be inspected annually by CBEP Solar 17 , LLC or its contractors for the
presence of invasive species . Minor presences will be managed by cutting and pulling
in a manner to not disburse or promote spreading of weed seeds . If a major presence
occurs, mowing and the potential application of herbicides will be deployed . Herbicide
selection may vary depending on the time of year, the life cycle of the noxious weed
species .

The Project will be surrounded by a -7 foot tall game fence . Please refer to sheet C-401 of the
USR Map for additional detail on the proposed security fence . The Project will seek waivers
from the residents to the west or will plant a row of Rocky Mountain Junipers along the outside
of the western fenceline of the Project area to provide natural screening for nearby residences .
Example photos as well as a map depicting the proposed location for tree placement are
provided below. Please refer to sheet C-402 of the USR Map for additional detail on the
proposed security fence . CBEP Solar 17 , LLC plans to work with Pawnee Buttes/Greencover to
create a unique diversified seed mixture to be seeded within the Project Area and will utilize
sheep grazing to maintain the land .

SU �JECT: Lighting Plan
CBEP Solar 17 , LLC is proposing to construct and operate the Trappers ' Trail Solar Project in
unincorporated Weld County, Colorado . The Project includes construction of 5 . 80 MW of solar
electric generation on a 54 . 84 acre parcel . This Lighting Plan describes lighting during the
construction and operations phases of the Project .
Temporary Construction Lighting_
The need for lighting during construction is expected to be limited because the majority of
construction activities will occur during daylight hours. If lighting is needed during construction ,
lights will be positioned and/or shielded from oncoming traffic and residences in the vicinity of
the project site , as necessary. Cutoff-type luminaires would be used where practicable .
Individual light sources would not exceed 150 , 000 lumens per light source (typical of a 1250W
metal halide light) and would project 0 . 1 lumen or less at property lines. Unnecessary lighting
will not be used . Lights would not exceed 24 feet in height. Any lighting needed for
construction is not shown in the dimensioned elevation drawing of the USR Map due to its
temporary nature .
Project Operations Lighting_
There will be no lighting on the Project after construction is completed .

SU �JECT: Manure Management Plan
CBEP Solar 17 , LLC is proposing to construct and operate the Trappers ' Trail Solar Project in
unincorporated Weld County , Colorado . The Project includes the construction of 5 . 8
Megawatts ( MV� of solar electric generation on a portion of a 54 . 84- acre parcel . In addition to
the solar array, the Project site will continue to contribute to the agricultural economy of Weld
County by using the pasture land underneath the solar array for sheep grazing . This Manure
Management Plan describes CBEP Solar 17 , LLC's plan to maintain and minimize the impacts of
the manure on the Project parcel and neighboring community .
Backqround :
CBEP Solar 17 , LLC intends to partner with a local shepherd that will be grazing no more than
500 sheep on the Trappers ' Trail Solar Project site for periods during the grazing season . The
Trappers ' Trail Solar Project is one of many fields the flock of sheep will rotate between . These
sheep will be processed in Weld County at Innovative Foods .
Manure Load Manaqement:
Through rotational grazing and harrowing , the manure load will be evenly distributed across
the parcel and have minimal impact on the neighboring community.
Rotational Grazing : The shepherd will section off portions of the Project and graze the herd in
the subsections, rotating the sheep to new subsections regularly . The shepherd will also rotate
the herd between several Cloudbreak solar projects to manage the manure load and forage
materials on the land . This will make the overall manure load very manageable and reduce the
impact to surrounding properties.
The herd will not stay permanently at the Trappers ' Trail Solar Project. The Project site will not
serve as a feedlot for sheep .
Harrowing : If necessary, a harrowing machine will be used on the Trappers ' Trail Solar Project
site to spread out and break up the manure once the sheep move on to the next subsection or
pasture . This machine will disturb the topsoil to help break down and bury the manure .
Composting : If the manure load ever becomes problematic, CBEP Solar 17 , LLC will physically
remove the manure and compost it offsite .

� Noise Study
� Trapper's Trail Solar Project
,/ Weld County , Colorado
NOISE STUDY
Cloudbreak Energy Partners , LLC (Cloudbreak) is proposing to construct and operate the Trapper's Trail
Solar Project (Project) in unincorporated Weld County , Colorado . The Project includes construction of up to
10 direct current (DC) Megawatts (MU1� of solar electric generation on a 39 . 94- acre parcel . The purpose of
this noise study was to determine the level of noise impact from the Project at nearby residences and to
ensure that the Project complies with state and county regulations . The level of impact has been determined
based on The State of Colorado Noise Law and WCC Chapter 14 Article 9 (Noise) .
Fundamentals of Noise
Noise can be defined as unwanted sound . When a noise is distinctly louder than the ambient noise
environment and reaches a certain level , it can disrupt normal activities . The magnitude of noise or the
deviation from the ambient noise level is usually described by sound pressure . The magnitude of noise is
usually described by a ratio of its sound pressure to a reference sound pressure , which is usually 20 micro -
Pascals . A logarithmic scale is used to relate sound pressure to a common reference pressure , yielding the
sound pressure level (SPL) . SPL is measured in dimensionless units of decibels (dB) and are modified by
frequency response of human hearing orweighting . The commonly accepted limits of human hearing to detect
sound are between the threshold of hearing at 0 dB and the threshold of pain at 140 dB Sound frequencies
are represented in units of Hertz (Hz) , which correspond to the number of vibrations per second of a given
tone . Sound occurs over a wide range of frequencies .
Three weightings have been established for measuring sound pressure : A, B , and C . The commonly accepted
audible frequency is between 20 Hz and 20 , 000 Hz , and human hearing is most sensitive to the frequencies
between 1 , 000 Hz and 6 , 000 Hz . The A-weighted scale is adjusted to frequencies most sensitive to human
ears . Sound levels that are measured using the A-weighted scale are often expressed as dB (A) . All noise
levels in this noise impact analysis report will be expressed in dB (A) . A key concept in evaluating potential
noise impacts is the perceived effect of incremental increases in existing noise levels . Changes in dB (A) are
exponential ; therefore , an increase of 3 dB (A) is barely perceptible , an increase of 5 dB (A) is readily
perceptible , and a 10 dB (A) increase would be perceived by someone to be a doubling of the noise level
(loudness) .
Existing Noise Environment : The subject site is located southeast of the intersection of County Road 86
and County Road 39 in an unincorporated area of Weld County , Colorado . The Project Area is surrounded by
existing agricultural with one residential property directly west of the Project Area . The applicable setbacks
from adjacent property lines and roadways will be required , and much of the existing vegetation (if present)
within the setbacks will be retained . Existing noise sources at the site occur mainly from infrequent vehicular
traffic traveling on nearby roadways .

Project Noise
Construction
Construction noise represents a short-term (temporary) impact on ambient noise levels . Temporary noise
impacts during construction would occur during daylight hours while construction equipment is being operated
including , but not limited to , passenger vehicles , earthmoving equipment , concrete mixers , water trucks , and
semi-tractor/trailer trucks . The spatial distribution of construction noise emissions would vary during the day
and depend upon the type of activity . Construction traffic will generate noise along the haul route . This noise
would be temporary during commuting hours and when supplies are delivered over the course of construction .
Operations
Sources of noise during operation would only include temporary vehicle noise from maintenance personnel
access and typical noise emissions from the solar array , inverters (which convert electricity from AC -to- DC ,
and DC-to-AC) , transformers (which "step up" and "step down" the system voltage) , and overhead
transmission .

� Noise Study
� Trapper's Trail Solar Project
,/ Weld County , Colorado
Project facilities that emit sound during operation include inverters . Noise emission from inverters depends on
the inverter model and number of inverters , which will be determined based on detailed engineering to be
completed during final design and approval of the site , but typical emissions from industrial photovoltaic (P�
inverters and associated supporting equipment utilized in previous solar projects within the region range from
48 to 72 dB (A) at a distance of 10 feet (Tech Environmental 2012) . Within the 48 to 72 dB(A) range , inverter
sound levels are generally indistinguishable from background noise levels at a distance of 150 feet from the
inverter (Tech Environmental 2012) . Typical equipment that is expected to be utilized for this Project includes
Module Model Heliene 144M M8 530W Bifacial or similar and Inverter Model CPS SCH125KTL- DO/US-600
or similar. For comparison , a gas lawnmower can produce around 90 dB (A) , a vacuum cleaner around 70
dB (A) , and a dishwasher in the next room around 50 dB (A) (FAA 2022) . Based on the typical sound levels
from Project operation and the distance to the boundary , the Project will adhere to Weld County and State of
Colorado permissible noise levels .
Conclusion
The purpose of this noise study was to determine the level of noise impact the Project will produce and ensure
that the Project will comply with state and county regulations . This level of impact has been determined based
on the Weld County noise regulations as well as the state of Colorado Noise Law . Based on typical solar
energy facility equipment , it is expected that the noise levels from Project facilities will meet the Weld County
Noise Ordinance and state statute requirements .

Subject : On-Site Drainage Study " 03/10/2022 "
Cloudbreak Energy is pursuing the development of the Trappers' Trail project, a photovoltaic
energy generation facility at a 55 . 20-acre site located approximately 2 .4 miles northeast Ault,
Colorado, alongside County Road 39 (See Appendix A-Site Plans C301 & C302 ) . The existing
site is currently used for agricultural purposes with approximately 1 % slopes . This drainage
study was prepared to summarize findings from performing a hydrologic analysis of the project
site to identify the potential stormwater impact from the proposed solar project and develop
appropriate drainage best management practices ( BMPs) to address the impact . This drainage
study was prepared to comply with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria
(WCECC) Manual Requirements, updated January 2021 .
Proposed Project
The proposed solar project will consist of pole mounted photovoltaic ( PV) arrays . Ground
disturbance under the panels will be minimal; thus, existing perviousness of the soil will be
maintained under the solar cells allowing infiltration . Rainfall runoff from the panels will flow
under the pole mounted PV panels matching the pre-development flow patterns .
Additional improvements associated with this project are limited to gravel drives for vehicle
access and concrete pads for distribution transformers (see Appendix A — Site Plans C301 &
C302 ) . No public access or utility infrastructure improvements are anticipated at this time .
Site Drainage
Currently, the existing site does not have any regional retention or water quality features . The
soils in the area consist of hydrologic soil groups ( HSG ) A and C soils given by the Natural
Resources Conservation Service ( NRCS — Appendix B) . A drainage basin labeled as Drainage
Area A have been identified for the site with an approximate area of 55 . 20 acres . Any offsite
flows appear to follow the existing ditches and streams and are not expected to affect the
project site . See Appendix A for the drainage area maps and details .
A hydrologic analysis was prepared using the Rational Method based upon requirements from
the WCECC Manual . The analysis provided estimated peak flow rates for the 100-year storm
under both pre-and post-development conditions . The design rainfall depth for a 1- hour,
Stormwater Drainage Study
100-year storm is 2 . 73 inches based upon NOAA Atlas 14 : Precipitation - Frequency Atlas . The
Rational Method equation shown below was used to determine the peak flow rates from
Drainage Area A . Runoff coefficients for various land uses were obtained from Table 5-2, Weld
County Engineering and Construction Criteria . The drainage area imperviousness and resulting
peak flow rates from pre-and post-development conditions are summarized below . See
Appendix C for the runoff coefficient calculations .

Stormwater Drainage Study
Based upon the above results, the increase of impervious area would produce little increase
( approximately 1 . 5 %) in the peak flow rate . Because of this, a detention basin facility will not be
proposed . Instead , a grass swale will be introduced on the south side to dissipate energy and
attenuate any potential flow increase from gravel roads and concrete pads .
Erosion Control/Stormwater Management Plan
Erosion control features such as silt fences and grass swales ( also mentioned above ) will be
installed on the site prior to construction activities . Such measures will be included in the
erosion control plan and detail sheets within the final construction documents . Grass swale
sizing calculations are summarized in Appendix D.
Conclusion
The drainage study and attached drainage maps were produced in accordance with
requirements from Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria Manual , updated January
2021 . The existing storm water flow characteristics are expected to remain unchanged and
increases in peak flow rates have been proven to be negligible . A basin type of storm water
detention would not be necessary.
Improvements proposed with the project site are limited to a gravel paved drive and a small
concrete distribution transformer pad . No public access or utility infrastructure improvements
are anticipated at this time . The proposed development will not alter historic drainage patterns
or adjacent and downstream property owners .

Hydrologic Soil Grou �Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part DA-A
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential . Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation , are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms .
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B , C , and D ) and
three dual classes (A/D , B/D , and C/D ) . The groups are defined as follows :
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential ) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep , well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands . These soils have a high rate of water
transmission .
Group B . Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep , moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture .
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission .
Group C . Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture . These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission .
Group D . Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential ) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential , soils that have a high water table , soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface , and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material . These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission .
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D , B/D , or C/D ) , the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas . Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes .

� Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval . The probability that precipitation frequency estimates
(for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound ) is 5% . Estimates at upper
bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.

1 . 0 Introduction
The purpose of this Traffic Letter is to evaluate the proposed traffic generated by the
proposed Trappers' Trail Solar Site project located northeast of the County Road 84 1 /2
and County Road 39 intersection in Weld County, CO .
2 . 0 Proposed Development
The proposed project consists of a solar field land use on the property . Access to the site
is proposed from an existing low traffic volume access on the east side of CR 39 . See
Figure 1 : Vicinity Map and Figure 2 : Site Plan .

3 . 0 Trip Generation
Site generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip
generation . Rates and equations are applied to the proposed land use to estimate traffic
generated by the development during a specific time interval . The acknowledged source
for trip generation rates is the Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers ( ITE ) . The Institute of Transportation Engineers' ( ITE) Trip
Generation Manual does not provide detailed data on solar field facilities . As such , KE
was able to estimate the weekday peak hour trip generation for the AM and PM peak
hours based upon information provided by the client and project team . The project team
provided the following trip generation data :
Trip Generation Data :
• Maximum anticipated number of daily trips per day during peak period of
construction = 20 — 25 vehicles per day during peak construction 7 : 00 AM - 3 : 30
PM general hours Monday — Friday. Therefore , a maximum of 50 vehicle round
trips per day during peak construction (50 daily trips) .
• °/o of heavy vehicles during peak period of construction = 5 % - 10% during first
few months of construction .
• Typical anticipated number of daily trips after construction is complete = 2 — 4
trips per year depending on O& M contract details
• Approximately 70 % of the traffic will come from the south on CR 39 and
approximately 30 °/o of the traffic will come from the north on CR 39 .
Based upon the above data , the project is conservatively anticipated to generate a
maximum of approximately 50 daily trips , 24 total ( 14 entering , 10 exiting ) AM peak hour
trips , and 20 total (6 entering , 14 exiting ) PM peak hour trips . See Table 1 : Trip
Generation .

4 . 0 Conclusions :
The findings of the Traffic Letter are summarized below:
• The proposed project is conservatively anticipated to generate a maximum of approximately
50 daily total weekday trips , 24 AM total peak hour trips , and 20 PM total peak hour trips .
See Table 1 : Trip Generation
• The project's trip generation and site generated traffic is low . See Table 1 : Trip
Generation .
• Due to the project's low site generated traffic , the proposed project will not create a
negative traffic impact upon the local and regional traffic system and the existing roadway
improvements are sufficient to accommodate the project's traffic . See Section 3 . 0 .
• The anticipated number of daily trips after construction is complete is only 2 — 4 trips per
year. See Section 3 . 0 .

Start Time : 6 : 30 PM
End time : 7 : 07 PM
Speaker: Brysen Daughton
In Attendance :
1 . Barry Rider
2 . Julie Nelson
3 . Mike Woodruff
4 . Randy Stevens
5 . Lori Stevens
Neighbor Correspondence :
Byrsen : If we put a berm , the drainage would go against the berm and cause flooding
on this side . I don 't think the county would allow it .
Mike : It's straight downhill going from our property.
Brysen : The county would be concerned with flooding and changing the floodplains -
any water would be extra going down this way. With this project , we ' re trying to minimize
any change in grading . If we pile drive , we try to not mess with the grade . I would prefer
to do a wooden fence or trees , or a stipend for trees .
Mike : My thing is - trees would take a long time and trying to give them water is difficult .
We ' re in a semi -arid desert . I think a wooden fence is a better idea . How tall would the
fence be ?
Brysen : 8 feet . 5 feet is the minimum height the solar panels get , 11 feet is the
maximum and it only lasts for a few hours per day. The fence should cover the site most
of the day. With the trees on top , it should set it back a bit too . Again , we ' re also happy
to do a stipend . We ' re open to do wood fencing - it's a lot more expensive . Parks and
Wildlife would rather do game fence around the entirety of the site , but we ' re open to
doing wood fencing around your area .
Mike : Would wildlife go through the wood fence ?
Brysen : No , we ' d monitor to make sure no game got through . We will be grazing sheep
- a shepherd will take care of the land . The sheep will be managed through rotational
grazing . We ' re trying to keep the parcel zoned as agriculture and keep it agriculturally
productive . So , we don 't want any game getting through either. I have some slides if you
want me to run through it .
Mike : Oh , yeah , sure .
Brysen : Our public hearing also is early October, I ' m not entirely sure .
PRESENTATION (6 : 35pm-6 : 50pm )
Mike : Are the sheep on all year?
Brysen : No , they' re only on a few fields at once and are moved throughout our
different sites . The shepherd will graze sheep on one part until the grass is
around 18-22 inches in height, which is the best for grass height . The sheep will
be rotating between all of our projects . How often they' re on the site depends on
the rain , how many weeds we have , etc . For example , if we have as much as
rain as we 've had this year-
Julie : Probably not .
Mike : Do you have the studies on leaching ?
Brysen : They' re the ones I sent over in email .
6 : 50 : End of Presentation
Mike : I am just trying to research some stuff that goes in the solar panels and some
chemicals/heavy metals are my concern because we do have a well . If we have to use
this well , we want to make sure that is good water.
Brysen : Yeah absolutely.
Mike : We filter water like crazy so that is a big concern for us .
Brysen : From the studies we 've seen , and we ' re using US made manufacturers , not
getting it from China or anything . All the studies show there is not a concerning level at
the Colorado or the United States required levels . The leaching rate - the panels are
glass , a steel glass - so the leach rates are very, very small . When it hails , we have
monitoring system , so if something is not functioning , that's a concern to us , we ' ll come
and replace the panel . We will have spare parts located on -site , so our team will fix it
within 2 weeks , which is what I think the policy is . The panels have been certified and
tested heavily to see if they can withstand the weight of hail and other storms . I was
developing in California and they do a lot of testing for hurricanes - it's all hardy enough
to withstand horrible storms . Any other questions?
Mike : I briefly looked through the last email and I can check it out more and get back to
you .
Brysen : Any time you want to reach me , you can reach out , our first Planning
Commission hearing is in October and our Board of County Commission hearing is a
few weeks after that. We ' d love to solidy plans before that , but we ' re happy to keep
working with you .
Mike : Any way to go higher than 8ft?
Brysen : 8 feet is harder because that's when county code kicks in and when it starts to
not make financial sense for our projects . I can chat with our co-founder, Zach , about it ,
though . How tall would you like?
Mike : I would like it to be higher than the height of the solar panels . We ' re on a grade so
may need it to be higher.
Brysen : I know typically 8 feet is the highest we 've done , so I can see if financially we
can do that . Up to 11 feet might be a little too tall for us - maybe we can meet
somewhere in the middle . We ' d also be interested in funding a fence on your side .
Mike : Good to have some plans to see
Brysen : These may change a little bit as we get closer. We ' re going to move the
powerlines to make sure it doesn 't go on your property. We ' ll also be upgrading the
powerlines around you , making them stronger, make sure the power doesn 't go out .
Mike : These are the locations of the inverters?
Brysen : Yes .
Mike : Alright well I ' ll look through some of these plans .
Brysen : Just let us know what feedback you have . We just want to be good neighbors
so let us know.
6 : 56PM - 7 : 06PM - Presentation given again when Randy and Lori Stevens arrived .
Brysen : Do y' all have any questions?
Lori : No
Julie : They have sold a little bit of solar already.
Brysen : Oh nice . Well if y' all have any questions , I can give you my business card . If
y' all have more questions , happy to give you my card and we ' ll keep working with you
on this vegetative screening . (7 : 07 )
