ENERGY Et MINERAL RELATIONSHIP a. Community energy or mineral impact Describe how the community is. has been, or will be impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy and mineral resources. For example: Heavy truck traffic directly related to energy development is impacting County Road X. or there are X number of oil and gas wells, storage facilities. transfer stations, etc. in the municipal or county boundaries, or a legacy of energy extraction has resulted in environmental issues in the area. or finally, the closure of energy production facilities is impacting the community." (500 character limit) Weld County is the #1 oil and gas producing county in the State of Colorado and therefore by default is the most impacted county. The majority of the county's traffic impacts directly result from heavy truck traffic related to the oil and gas industry. For this arterial corridor, the annual average daily traffic is 726 vehicles per day with 40% being trucks. The average speed of traffic is 71 miles per hour, which speaks to the importance of this remote north/south road. J. RESILIENCY CRITERIA NNW The Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program is required to integrate resilience criteria into the program. By bringing resiliency considerations into project planning and implementation, projects should be better poised to benefit a number of sectors (economy, health, infrastructure, etc.), minimize long-term risks, and anticipate or be better prepared to respond to changing conditions faced by Colorado communities. https://dola.colorado.gov/...rtalApplicationResponseView jsf?id=12774&jhvid=9l,I)GE30-d_ KuG45xFfnOQvDPN6V 1NBkd7AcmVIvW:217/28/2023 12:39:39 PM I Application Viewer For clarification or further guidance on how the Resiliency Criteria can be incorporated into projects, visit the Resiliency Prioritization Criteria section of the Colorado Resiliency Playbook.

(500 character limit) Weld County believes this project reaches the elderly, under -employed and minority populations, which is why the project includes an improved roadway with paved shoulders to serve not only transit populations but safer bicycle/pedestrian facilities, which builds community capacity. In addition, the Commissioners offer many public options to solicit public input, including but not limited to social media, public meetings and Board hearings. K. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE REGULATION PROJECTS ONLY a. Is this application for a comprehensive plan or land use regulation project? If no, proceed to Section L. No MEI b. Affirm required elements for Comprehensive Plan The State of Colorado requires local governments to adopt Comprehensive (Master) Plans per C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31- 23-206 (for municipalities). When funding comprehensive plans, DOLA requires that the following project components be included in the scope of work: • An inclusive community outreach and engagement plan to ensure participation from underrepresented groups. • The plan must assess and address housing needs of current and future residents at all levels of affordability. It must include locally -appropriate goals, strategies, and actions to promote affordable housing development. This work must use the best available data (e.g., State Demography Office data or a recent housing needs assessment). When it comes time to consider implementation strategies, jurisdictions may find the Strong Communities list of Land Use Best Practices helpful in this work. • Risks of natural and human -caused hazards to life, property, and public resources, and consideration of their impact to vulnerable communities. Include goals, strategies, and/or actions to address and mitigate these hazards (must identify and address all potential hazards as described in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan). Communities may find DOLAs Planning for Hazards guide helpful in this work. • In the spirit of the states goal to engage with disproportionately impacted communities (C.R.S. 24-4-109), the plan must use an environmental justice lens, particularly when it comes to the impacts of hazards, resources, and amenities to promote equitable outcomes • The plan must address the community water supply and water quality goals. Per C.R.S. 31-23-206(1)(d) and 30-28-106(3)(a) (IV), the community must: • Consult and coordinate with local water provider(s), • Include water conservation policies, and • Identify in the plan water supplies and facilities sufficient to meet public and private infrastructure needs reasonably anticipated or identified in the planning process.

The photos and description should include details beyond the general scope of work described above. (Upload photos and description as a single combined PDF document) I. ENERGY& MINERAL RELATIONSHIP a. Community energy or mineral impact Describe how the community is, has been, or will be impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy and mineral resources. For example: "Heavy truck traffic directly related to energy development is impacting County Road X, or "there are X number of oil and gas wells, storage facilities, transfer stations, etc. in the municipal or county boundaries, or a legacy of energy extraction has resulted in environmental issues in the area, or finally, the closure of energy production facilities is impacting the community." (500 character limit) Weld County is the #1 oil and gas producing county in the State of Colorado and therefore by default is the most impacted county. The majority of the county's traffic impacts directly result from heavy truck traffic related to the oil and gas industry. For this arterial corridor, the annual average daily traffic is 726 vehicles per day with 40% being trucks. The average speed of traffic is 71 miles per hour, which speaks to the importance of this remote north/south road. J. RESILIENCY CRITERIA The Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program is required to integrate resilience criteria into the program. By bringing resiliency considerations into project planning and implementation, projects should be better poised to benefit a number of sectors (economy, health, infrastructure, etc.), minimize long-term risks, and anticipate or be better prepared to respond to changing conditions faced by Colorado communities. For clarification or further guidance on how the Resiliency Criteria can be incorporated into projects, visit the Resiliency Prioritization Criteria section of the Colorado Resiliency Playbook. The Colorado Resiliency Framework site can also be used to develop a focused approach to incorporate these measures into all, or most projects. Below, please select Yes/No for all of the criteria that can be considered to apply to your project. Project scoring for these criteria is based on whether or not the project proposes to incorporate these long-term resiliency measures into the planning, development and implementation of the project. a. Adaptive capacity Yes a.1 Adaptive capacity Briefly describe how this project includes flexible and adaptable measures that consider future unknowns of changing climate, economic, or social conditions. (500 character limit) Weld County adapts to uncertainty and changing climate, social and economic conditions by taking past challenges, such as flooding, pandemics, or economic crisis to develop informed and improved construction projects that ensure mindfulness of taxpayer dollars and schedule in order to be an example to the public and other construction agencies so we can all learn from each other on how to best respond to future uncertainty. b. Co -benefits Yes b.1 Co -benefits Briefly describe how this project provides solutions that address problems across multiple sectors including the community, economic, health and social, housing, infrastructure, and watersheds and natural resources sectors to create maximum benefit. (500 character limit) While this project is not located within an urbanized area, the county still conducts holistic project evaluations in order to achieve strategic goals. The WCR 77 project will positively impact housing, health, economic development and primarily infrastructure in order to realize co -benefits criterion and support the implementation of the Colorado Resiliency Framework. c. Risk reduction Yes c.1 Risk reduction Briefly describe how this project reduces risk and vulnerability to people, infrastructure, and natural systems. (500 character limit) The WCR 77 project addresses potential risks and vulnerabilities for infrastructure. Reconstruction of this corridor is taking into consideration the best management practice strategies to reduce vulnerabilities to the infrastructure and housing sectors. Reinforcing this infrastructure will support the impacted unincorporated areas of Weld County classified as vulnerable populations/communities, which this project applies. d. Long-term and sustainable Yes d.1 Long-term and sustainable Briefly describe how this project will be able to be maintained by the community over its lifetime, reduces environmental impacts and is an investment that will last for generations. The project looks to the future and creates tong -term gains for the community. (500 character limit) As long as O&G drilling occurs in Weld County, we envision an energy impact program partnership with the State. We are the 3rd largest county at 4,000 sq. miles with one of the highest amounts of lane miles to maintain. As the #1 energy impacted county, we are always evaluating how our HRP program can be adapted to address both current and future climate, social, & economic priorities to ensure the most holistically responsible projects possible. e. Mitigates climate change Yes e.1 Mitigates climate change Briefly describe how the project includes renewable energy components and other solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change as much as possible and move the community or region towards 100% renewable energy. (500 character limit) Weld County's FDR program promotes the departments ingenuity and leadership in roadway projects. The FDR model can be implemented by other agencies experiencing high truck volumes on every type of road, not just paved. This project relies on construction techniques utilizing recycled materials to help mitigate the effects of climate change. f. Socially equitable Yes f.1 Socially equitable Briefly describe how this project solution is inclusive of and addresses the needs of populations and community groups that have been or are disproportionately and negatively impacted by disasters, including social and economic shocks and stressors_ The project addresses inequities, removes barriers, and benefits these populations by equitably distributing project -related benefits and providing access or meeting functional needs. (500 character limit) Weld County believes this project reaches the elderly, under -employed and minority populations, which is why the project includes an improved roadway with paved shoulders to serve not only transit populations but safer bicycle/pedestrian facilities, which builds community capacity. In addition, the Commissioners offer many public options to solicit public input, including but not limited to social media, public meetings and Board hearings. K. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE REGULATION PROJECTS ONLY a. Is this application for a comprehensive plan or land use regulation project? If no, proceed to Section L. No b. Affirm required elements for Comprehensive Plan The State of Colorado requires local governments to adopt Comprehensive (Master) Plans per C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities). When funding comprehensive plans, DOLA requires that the following project components be included in the scope of work: • An inclusive community outreach and engagement plan to ensure participation from underrepresented groups. • The plan must assess and address housing needs of current and future residents at all levels of affordability. It must include locally -appropriate goals, strategies, and actions to promote affordable housing development. This work must use the best available data (e.g., State Demography Office data or a recent housing needs assessment). When it comes time to consider implementation strategies, jurisdictions may find the Strong Communities list of Land Use Best Practices helpful in this work. • Risks of natural and human -caused hazards to life, property, and public resources, and consideration of their impact to vulnerable communities. Include goals, strategies, and/or actions to address and mitigate these hazards (must identify and address all potential hazards as described in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan). Communities may find DOLAs Planning for Hazards guide helpful in this work. • In the spirit of the states goal to engage with disproportionately impacted communities (C.R.S. 24-4-109), the plan must use an environmental justice lens, particularly when it comes to the impacts of hazards, resources, and amenities to promote equitable outcomes. • The plan must address the community water supply and water quality goals. Per C.R.S. 31-23-206(1)(d) and 30-28-106(3) (a)(IV), the community must: • Consult and coordinate with local water provider(s), • Include water conservation policies, and • Identify in the plan water supplies and facilities sufficient to meet public and private infrastructure needs reasonably anticipated or identified in the planning process. Within the first six months of receiving the grant, awardees must submit a self -assessment, such as the Colorado Growing Water Smart: Community Self -Assessment. to include water supply and demand status and trends, existing water conservation and efficiency goals and policies. Consult the DOLA Land Use and Water Planner before or immediately following award for free technical assistance. • The plan must include an action plan that prioritizes actions necessary to implement the plan, creates a timeline for implementation, and assigns responsibility for actions. • And, for municipalities only, a plan for three miles outside municipal boundaries, also known as the three mile plan, per C.R.S. 31-12-105(1)(e)(l). The department strongly encourages the following: • Land use code updates: Because the land use code implements a comprehensive plan, a land use code update is strongly recommended to immediately follow a comprehensive plan update. • Policies and strategies in the comprehensive plan and land use code to plan for the aging demographic of the community. • Policies and strategies to address energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the use of renewable energy sources where applicable. • Intergovernmental agreement(s) (IGA) with neighboring jurisdiction(s) to cooperatively plan for areas of mutual interest (e.g., three-mile areas). In addition, the IGA will address how infrastructure will be provided or upgraded and maintained in areas of mutual interest and engage major service providers/special districts, as applicable. We agree to include the Department of Local Affairs required elements for Comprehensive (Master) Plans as identified above in addition to C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities) in the project scope of work. No b.1 If no, explain why the required elements will not be included in your project scope of work. For example, recently completed tasks or plans listed above would be incorporated into the comprehensive plan by reference. (500 character limit) L. HIGH PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (HPCP) COMPLIANCE For new facilities, additions and renovation projects only. NOTE: If your project will use 25% or more in state funds, then some form of HPCP compliance most likely applies to your project. Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S. 24-30-1305.5) requires all new facilities, additions, and renovation projects that meet all of the following criteria to conform with the High Performance Certification Program (HPCP) adopted by the Office of the State Architect if: • The project receives 25% or more of state funds (from any/all state funding sources and in aggregate across all project phases, if applicable); and • The new facility, addition, or renovation project contains 5,000 or more gross square feet (NOTE: this includes all phases of project work, e.g., if one phase covers 3,000 square feet and another covers 2,000 square feet then each phase must comply, however, square footage not conditioned for human occupancy, such as an equipment shed, is excluded); and • The building includes or will include an HVAC system; and • Only in the case of a renovation project, the cost of the renovation exceeds 25% of the current value of the property. Projects that meet the above criteria are required to complete and submit the DOLA checklist.

Can you please process these attachments as the official submittal in the system? I have added all the documents I submitted online as well as DOLA's acknowledgement they have been accepted. If you look at the first page of the application, you can see the ones we have in the record only say partially complete. These attachments can go towards the official submittal. Please reach out if you have any other questions.
