Staff comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may arise during the remaining application process. COMMENTS GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION Project description: USR for Oil and Gas Support and Service. This project is north of CR 2 and is east of and adjacent to CR 21. The subject parcel number is: 146935200026. Access is from CR 21. ACCESS Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. The subject parcel has an existing, non -permitted access on County Road 21, located approximately 3,230 feet north of County Road 2. This access location does not meet the County's 150 -foot minimum access spacing requirement for a local road. No additional access is proposed. Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. Please contact Tiffnee Lamb, of Planning Services, at 970-400-3718 to obtain an access permit. ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY County Road 21 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate and label on the USR map the existing right-of-way (along with the creating documents) and the physical location of the road. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code, Sec. 23-1- 90, the required setback is measured from the right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Per, Sec. 8-13-30.B, a Weld County Right -of -Way Use Permit is required for any project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and/or encroaching upon, any County rights -of -way or easement. Right -of -Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at: https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Public-Works/Permits/Right-of-Way-Permits Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate existing utilities within the County right-of-way.

TRACKING CONTROL REQUIREMENTS Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. For access to gravel roads, tracking control devices must be either double cattle guards with 100 feet of road base or road base on all driving surfaces. Recycled concrete is not allowed in the County right-of-way. DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS This area is within a Non -Urbanizing Drainage Area. Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site.

The existing residence is served by an individual domestic well (161587-A) and an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS). The OWTS was evaluated in 1991 and the system was noted to be undersized and located under a driveway (G19910275). In 1997 a repair permit was applied for however that permit has expired (SP -9700248). The applicant shall verify that the existing system is adequate for the residence and adheres to OWTS regulations. The applicant is proposing that employees utilize a portable toilet which follows EH policy. The type of equipment being stored includes separators which will be painted on site. The applicant did contact the State regarding whether an APEN is required, and the State indicated, due to the limited number of items being painted, an APEN is not needed at this time. The application states that records will be maintained to ensure compliance with the State standards. All paint must be stored in compliance with manufactures recommendations. We recommend that the following requirement be met prior to allowing the plat to be recorded: 1. The Environmental Health Services Division was unable to locate an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) repair permit for the system serving the existing residence. The system shall be reviewed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer and a repair permit submitted if required. The review shall consist of observation of the system and a technical review describing the system's ability to handle the hydraulic load.

(Lot A RE -4462 Water Division 1, Water District 2 Dear Kim Ogle, The Applicant is requesting a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support and Service (outdoor painting of oil and gas separators) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The proposed water supply for the business is bottled water and portable toilets. Also a copy of well permit no. 161587-A was included in the referral material. Well permit no. 161587-A was issued on September 13, 1991 pursuant to 37-92-602(3)(c) C.R.S. for the replacement of the late registered well under permit no. 161587. Permit no. 161587-A was issued on the condition that the original well is plugged and abandoned. A Well Abandonment Report was not received for the original well therefore, it is unknown if the original well was plugged. To ensure the original well was plugged, the well owner must submit a Well Abandonment Report (GWS-09 Form). The well is currently permitted for fire protection, ordinary household purposes inside two (2) single family dwellings, the watering of poultry, domestic animals and livestock on a farm or ranch and the irrigation of not more than 10,000 square feet of home gardens and Lawns. The well is withdrawing water from the nontributary Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer. As permitted well permit no. 161587-A cannot be used to serve the proposed business on the property. If the applicant plans to use well no. 161587-A for commercial use, a well permit allowing for such use must first be obtained. The ability for the Applicant to obtain a well permit, and the allowed uses, will be determined at the time that a well permit application is submitted to and reviewed by the State Engineers Office. 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado.gov/water Jared S.Polis, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Kevin G.
