Summary:
The original Special Use Permit, USR17-0003, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on
April 12, 2017, for an office and storage facility for Winter Seed and Ag Services, LLC (a seed dealership)
and Big Bend Boat and RV Storage facility for indoor and outdoor storage of RV's, boats, construction
equipment, commercial vehicles, trailers, and semi -trucks. There is a dump station on site as well. These
two businesses have been in operation since 2017. The original USR Map was recorded on June 28, 2017,
per reception No. 4314160.
The first amendment to the USR, 1 MUSR19-17-0003, was approved by the Department of Planning
Services on August 26, 2019, for the addition of Mosquito Joe (MoJo) of Northern Colorado and eight (8)
parking spaces for a business that rents U -Haul type moving trucks, moving and utility trailers, and mobile
storage containers. Mosquito Joe is sharing office space with the seed dealership and requested to park
two (2) commercial vehicles in the storage yard. Mosquito Joe has increased the number of commercial
vehicles on the site to sixteen (16) and the applicant has stated that twelve (12) of those vehicles will be
stored inside the new 7,800 sf shop and the other four (4) vehicles will be parked outside. The seed
dealership and the fertilizer storage and sales business will have five (5) trucks and three (3) spray rigs for
a total of eight (8) commercial vehicles. These eight (8) commercial vehicles will be parked in the new shop
or seed warehouse when not is use and during the busy season these vehicles will be parked outside. The
U -Haul type rental business has not yet been established. The Minor Amendment also allows for mobile
storage containers to be stored inside the primary structure where the seed business and Mosquito Joe's
offices are located. The Minor Amendment MUSR map was recorded on November 18, 2020, per reception
No. 4652634.
This Major Amendment is in conjunction with a Lot Line Adjustment, LLA22-0004, to add about four (4)
acres adjacent to and east of the site. The newly added acreage will be used for fertilizer storage and sales
and will include a 7,800 sf building, three (3) 500 gallon above -ground fuel tanks, six (6) cargo containers,
and multiple fertilizer storage tanks. The fuel tanks will contain diesel, gasoline, and dyed off road diesel.
The maximum height of the fertilizer tanks has not been determined but the tanks that the applicant is
having made for the site are twenty-four (24) feet tall. Due to the fact that the boundary of the USR is
expanding a Major Amendment is required.
There are two (2) owners that assist customers of the RV storage facility and one (1) owner that operates
the seed dealership. Mosquito Joe's has three (3) full-time employees and twelve (12) part-time employees.
This Major Amendment is proposing to add two (2) full-time employees and two (2) part-time employees
for the fertilizer storage and sales business.
The hours of operation for the RV storage facility were originally 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. 7 -days a week the
applicant is proposing to change these hours of operation to 24 -hours a day 17 -days a week. The hours of
operation for the rental equipment area are also 24 -hours a day 17 -days a week. The seed dealership and
Mosquito Joe's will operate between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 7 -days a week. The seed dealership is open
eight (8) weeks in the spring, from April Pi to May 31s1 and Mosquito Joe operates from April to October.
The other times of the year the seed dealership and Mosquito Joe will not have regular office hours. The
hours of operation for the fertilizer sales portion of the business are also proposed to be 24 -hours a day /
7 -days a week.
2MJUSR22-17-0003

There are currently four (4) parking spaces for employees and customers plus one (1) ADA parking space
by the seed dealership office. The seed dealership also has an unloading and loading area. This Major
Amendment is proposing to add four (4) parking spaces and one (1) ADA parking space by the new shop.
For a total of eight (8) parking spaces and two (2) ADA parking spaces. Based on the size of the new shop
and the addition of two (2) full-time employees, staff is requesting an additional nine (9) parking spaces for
a total of seventeen (17) parking spaces including the two (2) ADA parking spaces.
The existing RV storage facility is surrounding by a 6 -foot chain link fence and in order to discourage theft
there are no slats in the fence. The original application materials stated that some native grasses and
possibly some evergreen trees were going to be planted around the perimeter of the site and the detention
pond. Currently there is no landscaping on the site. The applicant is proposing a ten (10) foot wide washed -
rock strip located north of and adjacent to County Road 46 between the businesses and the road as
landscaping. Staff is requesting a Screening Plan for this facility as a Condition of Approval.
The current structures on the site include: a 40' x 240' three -sided RV storage building and a 4,160 square
foot building that has a 960 square foot office area and a 3,200 square foot warehouse space. The future
buildings proposed for the site include: one (1) 32' x 20' office addition, one (1) 40' x 230' 3 -sided building,
one (1) 50' x 275' building, one (1) 40' x 240' building, and one (1) 40' x 200' building. Except for the office
addition all these buildings are slated for storage of either of RVs or seeds. Since only two (2) of the seven
(7) buildings have been built there is room on the site for about 200 spaces for the outdoor storage of RVs.
As stated previously, this Major Amendment will add a 7,800 square foot shop, three (3) 500 gallon above-
ground fuel tanks, six (6) cargo containers, and multiple fertilizer storage tanks.
On February 28, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 2022-0674. This
resolution is a Crossing Closure and Maintenance Agreement between Weld County and Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) to permanently close the at -grade public road crossing for County Road 46 and 35. This
is the intersection that is currently being utilized by most of the customers and employees of these
businesses. This traffic will now need to use County Road 44 and then drive north on County Roads 35 and
then east on County Road 46 to access the subject property. This closure is expected to occur in early
2023. The applicant is aware of this closure.
The Weld County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) requested that the applicant submit the types
and quantities of fertilizer that will be stored on site. The applicant stated that the approximate amounts and
types are: 1,500,000 gallons of urea -ammonium nitrate (UAN), 600,000 gallons of ammonium
polyphosphate (APP), 60,000 gallons of potassium thiosulfate (KTS), and 60,000 gallons of ammonium
thiosulfate (ATS). These numbers are for full build out which is a twenty (20) year plan, if sales support it.
For now, there will be 30,000 gallons of UAN and APP onsite, and 20,000 gallons of KTS and ATS. Per the
applicant none of these products are hazardous materials or require placards for haul trucks. The OEM is
requiring that the applicant complete an Emergency Action Plan and review the Plan with the OEM office
and the Fire District. The OEM also requires that the applicant comply with all chemical reporting
requirements under EAP rules related to Tier II chemicals. Compliance with the OEM's requirements is
listed under the prior to operation Conditions of Approval.
Central Weld County Water District (District) submitted referral agency comments dated February 17, 2022.
that state that the four (4) acres of land that are proposed to be added to the current site (parcel
105712300010) are not currently included in the District's tax area. The District is requiring that the applicant
petition the District for inclusion of the property that will be added to the existing six (6) acres via LLA22-
0004, prior to extending water service to that area of the property. The District will also need to conduct a
survey with the applicant to determine if additional backflow prevention is needed for any hazards presented
by the proposed modifications to the USR. The District requests that Weld County Planning make
completion of these items a condition for approval for this Major Amendment. This requirement has been
added as a Condition of Approval.
Except for the change in the hours of operation there will be no expansion to Big Bend Boat and RV Storage,
Winter Seed and Ag Services, Mosquito Joe, or the equipment rental business.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
2MJUSR22-17-0003
Page 3 of 14
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 22-2-40.A. states: "Support compatible economic development opportunities."
This site is in a Weld County Opportunity Zone and although it is not a Change of Zone it is a
commercial use and therefore the location of these businesses is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's intent to place commercial businesses within one-half mile of highways.
Section 22-2-40.A.5 of the Weld County Code states: "Encourage agglomeration economies
of synergistic businesses."
The original USR and the first amendment approved an RV storage facility (Big Bend Boat and
RV Storage), a seed business (Winter Seed and Ag Services, LLC), a U -Haul type rental
business, and Mosquito Joes (MoJo). This second amendment is to add fertilizer storage and
sales, which supports the agricultural seed business. This second amendment also addresses
the increase in the property size by four (4) acres. The location of the seed distribution business
and the fertilizer sales on the same property is a successful agglomeration of synergistic
businesses.
Section 22-2-10.B. states, "Respecting Private Property Rights. One of the basic principles
upon which the United States was founded is the right of citizens to own and utilize property so
long as that use complies with local regulations and does not interfere with or infringe upon the
rights of others."
The applicant has submitted a Lot Line Adjustment to add the four (4) acres to the current
seven (7) acres. The four (4) acres will encompass the new improvements for the fertilizer
storage and sales. The fertilizer storage and sales will consist of a 60' x 130' building, three (3)
500 gallon above -ground fuel tanks that will contain diesel, gasoline, and dyed off road diesel,
six (6) cargo containers, and multiple fertilizer storage tanks.
This amendment is requesting to add two (2) full-time employees and two (2) part-time
employees. The new shop will add 7,800 square feet of building footprint. Since, the number
of employees and the square footage of buildings has increased staff is requesting and
additional nine (9) parking spaces be added to the site for a total of seventeen (17) parking
spaces including the two (2) ADA parking spaces.
The hours of operation for the RV storage facility are proposed to be changed to 24 -hours a
day / 7 -days a week. The rental equipment area is also proposed to be 24 -hours a day / 7 —
days a week. The hours of operation for the seed dealership and Mosquito Joe's are 6:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. 7 -days a week. The seed dealership is open eight (8) weeks in the spring, from
April 15' to May 31' and Mosquito Joe operates from April to October. The other times of the
year the seed dealership and Mosquito Joe will not have regular office hours. The applicant is
requesting that the hours of operation for the fertilizer sales portion of the business be 24 -hours
a day 17 -days a week also.
Section 22-2-10.C. states, "Harmonize development with surrounding land uses." and Section
23-2-10.C.1. states, "Transition between land use types and intensities with buffers. Uses that
are incompatible with existing uses must be able to mitigate conflicts."
The existing RV storage facility is surrounding by a 6 -foot chain link fence and in order to
discourage theft there are no slats in the fence. The original application materials stated that
some native grasses and possibly some evergreen trees were going to be planted around the
perimeter of the site and the detention pond. Currently there is no landscaping on the site. The
2MJUSR22-17-0003
Page 4 of 14
applicant is proposing a ten (10) foot wide washed -rock strip located north of and adjacent to
County Road 46 between the businesses and the road as landscaping. Staff is requesting a
Screening Plan for this facility.
The current structures on the site include: a 40' x 240' three -sided RV storage building and a
4,160 sf building that has a 960 sf office area and a 3,200 sf warehouse space. The future
buildings proposed for the site include: one (1) 32' x 20' office addition, one (1) 40' x 230' 3 -
sided building, one (1) 50' x 275' building, one (1) 40' x 240' building, and one (1) 40' x 200'
building. Except for the office addition all these buildings are slated for storage of either of RVs
or seeds. Since only two (2) of the seven (7) buildings have been built there is room on the site
for about 200 spaces for the outdoor storage of RVs. This major amendment will add a 7,800
sf shop, three (3) 500 gallon above -ground fuel tanks, six (6) cargo containers, and multiple
fertilizer storage tanks.
The access point will be moved a little bit to the east, and a second stormwater detention area
will be built on the newly added four (4) acres. Except for the change in the hours of operation
there will be no expansion to Big Bend Boat and RV Storage, Winter Seed and Ag Services,
Mosquito Joe, or the equipment rental business.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District.
Section 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."
In 2017 the original USR was approved under Section 23-3-40.S. which allowed for uses such
as RV and boat storage to be placed in the Agricultural Zone. A seed dealership was also
approved with the original USR. The Minor Amendment, 1 MUSR19-17-0003, was approved by
staff in 2019 and added Mosquito Joe and an equipment rental business. Mosquito Joe is
sharing office space with the seed dealership company and requested to park two (2)
commercial vehicles in the storage yard. Mosquito Joe has increased the number of
commercial vehicles on the site to sixteen (16) and the applicant has stated that twelve (12) of
those vehicles will be stored inside the new 7,800 sf shop and the other four (4) vehicles will
be parked outside. The seed dealership and the fertilizer storage and sales businesses will
have five (5) trucks and three (3) spray rigs which will be parked in the new shop or seed
warehouse when not is use and during the busy season these vehicles will be parked outside.
The equipment rental business includes the renting of U -Haul type moving trucks, moving and
utility trailers, and mobile storage containers, however, as of April 2022 this business has not
yet been established. The current uses on the site include an office and storage facility for
Winter Seed and Ag Services, Big Bend Boat and RV Storage, and Mosquito Joe.
This Major Amendment is a request to add fertilizer storage and sales. Fertilizer retail,
wholesale and service establishments are listed in the Weld County Code in the definitions
Section 23-1-90 under Agricultural Support and Service. This use is consistent with the intent
of the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Per Section 23-3-35.A. Agricultural support and service is allowed in the A (Agricultural) zone
per a Zoning Permit (ZPAG), however, since this is currently a USR and the boundary of the
USR is increasing by about four (4) acres per LLA22-0004 this request is considered a major
amendment to an existing USR.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
2MJUSR22-17-0003
Page 5 of 14
The adjacent lands consist primarily of pastures, crops and rural residences. The Union Pacific
railway (UPRR) is on the north and west boundary and there is a dairy south of the site (SUP -
31). The closest residence is located on the same parcel as the dairy and is approximately 125
feet south of the subject property.
There are eight (8) USRs within one mile of the site. With three (3) of the eight (8) USRs being
located west of Highway 85, the site is located east of Highway 85. USR11-0010 for an oil and
gas support and service facility, USR13-0012 for agricultural services, and USR-1053 for seed
production are all located northwest of the site on the west side of Highway 85. USR17-0050
for a greater than 12 -inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline is located west of Highway 85 and
travels under Highway 85 just south of the site. USR11-0016 is a 12 -inch natural gas pipeline
and it crosses the subject property along the north/west boundary adjacent to the Union Pacific
railway. There is an easement on the subject property for this pipeline. USR-31 for a dairy is
located south of and adjacent to the site. MUSR12-0004 for onion storage a processing and
USR18-0092 for vehicle repair and service are located south of the site along County Road 44.
Eight (8) Surrounding Property Owners (SPO) within 500 -feet were notified of the requested
amendment and the Department of Planning Services has not received any comments,
electronic mail or telephone calls regarding the proposed modifications.
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and 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.
The site is located within the Coordinated Planning Agreement Area (CPA) for the Town of
LaSalle and the City of Evans. As part of the pre -application process the municipalities were
sent a Notice of Inquiry (NOI). The Town of LaSalle submitted a Notice of Inquiry dated January
18, 2022, and the City of Evans submitted a Notice of Inquiry dated January 27, 2022, both
stated that they have no interest in annexing the property
The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area for the Towns of LaSalle and Gilcrest
and the City of Evans none of the municipalities responded with referral agency comments.
The comprehensive plan map for the Town of LaSalle shows the site as a possibly switching
station location.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the
Weld County Code.
The site is not located within any overlay district officially adopted by the County, including A-
P (Airport) Overlay District, Geologic Hazard Overlay District, MS4 - Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System area, Special Flood Hazard Area, Historic Townsite Overlay District, or the
Agricultural Heritage Overlay District boundary.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -
Wide Road Impact Fee Program. Building Permits issued on the proposed lot will be required
to adhere to the fee structure of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The facility is primarily designated as "Prime farmland if irrigated" with low slope, Olney sandy
loam soils. There is a small portion of "Farmland of statewide importance" located in the
2MJUSR22-17-0003
Page 6 of 14
southwest corner of the site with low slope, Vona sandy loam soils per the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service (N RCS) Custom Soil Report prepared February 4, 2022.
Similar findings are presented in the West Greeley Conservation District referral, dated
February 14, 2022. The four (4) acres that will be added to the existing RV facility are "Prime
farmland if irrigated." The existing uses on the property have been there since 2017 and the
four (4) acres that will be added are not on "Prime Farmland" so this amendment will not remove
any irrigated agricultural land from production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 — There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety,
and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards (Section
23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards can ensure
that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

42. RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT: Weld County has some of the most
abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand and gravel, oil, natural gas, and
coal. Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the
state's commercial mineral deposits are essential to the state's economy; (b) the populous counties
of the state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be extracted
according to a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits and cause the least
practicable disruption of the ecology and quality of life of the citizens of the populous counties of
the state.
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and people moving into these
areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this development. Often times, mineral
resource sites are fixed to their geographical and geophysical locations. Moreover, these
resources are protected property rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to
extract the mineral resource.
43. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM STATEMENT: Weld County is one of the most productive
agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in
total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must
recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural
practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives
which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of
city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms,
those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from
animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting
and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides
and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural
producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their
agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a
visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides
that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural
operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably
associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential
development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot
take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right
to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice
the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of
state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served
stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than
on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency
2MJUSR22-17-0003
Page 13 of 14
responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by
volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads,
no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a
paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be
cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not
be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than
urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm
equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and
center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and
livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not
only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.

LOT B REC EXEMPT RECX17-0013; PART SW4 SECTION 12, T4N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County,
Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on May 3, 2022 at 12:30
p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on May 18, 2022 at
10:00 a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150
O Street, Greeley, Colorado. The property owner and/or authorized agent must be in attendance to
answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County Commissioners may
have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the
Weld County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has
been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of
ten days prior to the hearing to post a sign, adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent
place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive)
intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application
to the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to
the scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at https://accela-

Diana, tank dimensions are difficult to give a firm answer on, My tanks that are being built right now are 24'
tall. Future tanks more than likely will be taller, but there is no standard sizes. I'm not sure what a logical
1
answer is here, I don't want to be locked into a specific height either. Is there a height limit or code that the
county has on total height of structures?

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: UPRR WCR 46/35 Closure & Maintenance Agreement
DEPARTMENT: Public Works DATE: February 14, 2022
PERSON REQUESTING: Elizabeth Relford
Brief description of the problem/issue:
On January 30, 2019, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved the application filed jointly by COOT
on the Board's behalf along with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) for the railroad crossing closure of WCR
46/35. At that time, we did not process the closure and maintenance agreement with UPRR, so we are following
up now to complete this agreement. The Board made the vacation of this closure contingent upon the Peckham
interchange being substantially complete. The Board will enter into a closure and maintenance (C&M)
agreement with UPRR, which doesn't become effective until the railroad crossing closure is completed. The
attached agreement is consistent with all the other C&M agreements you have approved and has been reviewed
and approved by the County Attorney's office.
WCR 46/35 was part of the Group 1 closures identified on the Board's Resolution from September 17, 2018.
The railroad closure of WCR 46/35 is planned to be closed as part of the Peckham improvements. CDOT has
selected Jalisco International, Inc. to construct the improvements with the contract anticipated to be complete by
the end of 2023.
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
• Allow the attached agreement to be placed on the 1/23/2022 BOCC agenda for signature.
• Request a work session to discuss.
Recommendation:
This closure and maintenance agreement is the same as previous ones approved by the BOCC, therefore, staff
recommends approval of this agreement.

Diana, here is the answers about fertilizer stored at full build out:
• Approximately 1,500,000 gallons of UAN
+ Approximately 600,000 gallons of APP
• Approximately 60,000 gallons of KTS
+ Approximately 60,000 gallons of ATS
These numbers are full build out of the fertilizer tanks, this is a 20 year build out plan for those tanks, if sales supports it.
For now there will be 30,000 gal of UAN, APP onsite, and 20,000 gal of KTS and ATS. None of these products are
hazardous materials or require placards for haul trucks.
Portable storage containers: we would like to have 6 containers.
Thanks, Jeff

Subject: 1MUSR19-17-0003 Public Health Comments
Date: Monday, January 17, 2022 11:33:12 AM
Caution: This email originated from outside of Weld County Government. Do not click links or open attachments unless
you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Good morning Lauren, I received the comments from your department about our proposed fertilizer
tank/plant expansion. The questions/comments are straight forward and will be easy to explain,
except the comment about a vault for wash water. I need your departments' explanation as to what
you're calling a vault? Underground concrete structures are not compatible with our type of
business. I was involved with Centennial Ag Supply for more than a decade, we won a national award
for our stewardship and cleanliness of our facility. Putting wash water into a vault below ground
invites several issues: 1) cleaning the vault will require an employee to enter the space to clean out
any solids, which is adding an unnecessary health risk. 2) the vault will have to be outside of the tank
containment and add risk of overflow in an uncontained area. Not to mention adding an extra alarm
system. 3) getting fluid pumped out of the vault will require specialized equipment instead of using
existing pumps. 4) A vault will require an unnecessary cost to construction.
Wash water is handled very easily: machinery is washed on a concrete pad, the pad drains to a sump
box. A sump pump will pump wash water into a cone bottom tank. The wash water tank is contained
in the fertilizer containment area. The wash water can then be filtered and recycled into the next
days fertilizer spray solution. This process is clean, simple, and keeps the wash waste in the field
where it belongs. If the wash water tank needs to be cleaned, it will be a cone bottom shaped tank,
which can be washed out from above, without employee entry and maintained with ease.
I will include an abbreviated explanation in the questionnaire. Please respond with any questions or
concerns.
Thanks, Jeff Winter
