PLANNING QUESTIONNAIRE
1 . Explain the proposed use and business name.
USS Picadilly Solar LLC respectfully submits this USR application to develop, construct, own , and
operate a 5- megawatt ( MW) community solar garden (the " Proposed SEF") . The Proposed SEF is sited in
Weld County on approximately 26 . 4 acres of parcels 080723100057 and 080723100002 , owned by
Willard and Linda Owens , at 32536 County Rd 23 , Greeley , CO 80550.

Site Control Status Memorandum recorded
Landowner Willard and Linda Owens
Current Use of Propert Agriculture ( hay production :
The Proposed SEF will be interconnected to Xcel Energy' s existing distribution system on County Rd 23,
and the point of interconnection will be located on parcel 080723100002 . The Proposed SEF is permitted
through the Use by Special Review► process per Section 23 of the Weld County Zoning Code.
2. Explain the need for the proposed use.
The Proposed SEF will produce clean , local electricity , which will be distributed on Xcel Energy 's existing
distribution lines in the Greeley area .
Additionally , the Proposed SEF has an interconnection agreement through Xcel Energy 's Solar*Rewards
Community — Community Solar Program . When the Proposed SEF is operational , residents, businesses ,
and public entities located in Xcel Energy 's service territory can " subscribe" to the Proposed SEF and
save on their Xcel Energy electric bills through the community solar program.
3. Describe the current and previous use of the land .
Currently the land is used for agriculture, specifically cultivating hay . The land was irrigated in the past
and was used for row crops when it was still irrigated. However , the property is no longer irrigated and the
dry land continues to be used for hay production.
In 2007 , the landowners pursued implementing a Planned Unit Development but ultimately did not move
forward with the PUD . In 2021 , the PUD designation was rescinded and revoked and the parcel was
returned to Agricultural zoning.
4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences .
The Proposed SEF is located within 500 ' of approximately ten ( 10) residences .
US Solar will provide ample information to residences in the vicinity of the Proposed SEF — US Solar will
reach out to neighbors and will host a virtual open house to share information and answer questions that
neighbors may have . If all required residents are open to signing a waiver or informed consent, we will
proceed without screening on the western , southern , and eastern fence lines of the Proposed SEF .
Should screening be required , we will implement a layer of screening along the eastern fence line of the
Proposed SEF as described in Landscape and Screening Plan.
5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible
with them .
The surrounding land area to the south, west, and north of the Proposed SEF is Agricultural zoning and
comprised mainly of farmsteads , homesteads , and farmland . The land east of the Proposed SEF is zoned
in the E ( Estate) zoning district, comprised of rural , large- lot residential land uses and land uses that are
compatible with very low-density residential areas . The zoning district can serve as a transition between
Agricultural areas and R-1 Zone districts .
The Proposed SEF is compatible with the surrounding land areas. The Proposed SEF is a permitted use
by special review in Agricultural zoning district. Additionally , the Proposed SEF is designed in a manner
that can allow it to seamlessly integrate into the community alongside the Agricultural and Estate zoned
areas adjacent to the Proposed SEF. Once operational , the Proposed SEF creates no noise , odor , light or
flickering , vibration , vermin , dust , or other nuisances — its operation is virtually unnoticeable to
neighboring properties and it will not impact surrounding property 's right to quiet enjoyment .
The Proposed SEF is sited on dry land that was last irrigated in 2005, and the property is currently used
for hay production . Because the Proposed SEF is not a permanent structure , the land will be vegetated
using a dry meadow habitat mix , which will decrease erosion , prevent noxious weed growth and
establishment, and preserve the land to be returned to hay production after the Proposed SEF is
decommissioned . The dry meadow will be maintained by vegetation experts to facilitate establishment.
6. Describe the hours and days of operation ( i .e. Monday thru Friday 8 :00 a. m. to 5 :00 p . m. ) .
The Proposed SEF will operate daily, 365 days a year, from sunrise to sunset.
7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors . If shift
work is proposed , detail number of employees , schedule and duration of shifts .
The Proposed SEF is unmanned . One full-time employee may visit the Proposed SEF quarterly , and
vegetation contractors will visit the site quarterly for vegetation management . Full time employees
remotely monitor the site 2417 .
8. Describe the maximum number of users, patrons , members, buyers or other visitors that
the site will accommodate at any one time.
During operation, two user will visit the site quarterly to perform routine maintenance and vegetation
maintenance . In the event of an onsite event , there will be a maximum of approximately 100 patrons
onsite .
9. List the types and maximum numbers of animals to be on the site at any one time (for
dairies , livestock confinement operations , kennels, etc. ) .
Not applicable — no animals will be onsite .
10. List the types and number of operating and processing equipment.
The Proposed SEF will consist of the following :
• 12 , 042 540-watt Longi 540W solar modules
• 40 Delta X1125H11 125 kW inverters
• 2 Transformers
11 . List the types , number and uses of the existing and proposed structures.
There are no existing structures on the property. The Proposed SEF does not propose any new
structures .
12. Describe the size of any stockpile, storage or waste areas .
There are no stockpile , storage , or waste areas proposed for the Proposed SEF.
13. Describe the method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris , junk and other
wastes associated with the proposed use.
There is no debris , junk, or wastes generated or associated with the Proposed SEF .
14. Include a timetable showing the periods of time required for the construction of the
operation .

�r i i I j `a.•US Solar is initiating conversations with all neighbors within 500 ' of the Proposed SEE USS Picadilly
Solar will work with residents within a residential lot of a planned subdivision or planned unit development
that are located within 500 ' of the Proposed SEF to discuss the project and receive a signature on a
waiver or informed consent agreeing to a lesser setback without screening .
Should the Proposed SEF be unable to secure a waiver of informed consent agreeing to a lesser setback
without screening from all residents within a residential lot of a planned subdivision or planned unit
development within 500 ' of the Proposed SEF, the Proposed SEF will implement a single row of Rocky
Mountain Juniper trees along the eastern fence line of the Proposed SEF as further described in
Landscape and Screening Plan.
18. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site.
The property 's ground cover has previously consisted of arid grassland , used for hay production. The
Proposed SEF would implement a pollinator-friendly native habitat mix on the property , which is designed
specifically for the dry land conditions of the land. Potential screening details are described above .
19. Describe reclamation procedures to be employed as stages of the operation are phased
out or upon cessation of the Use by Special Review activity.
When the Solar Garden reaches the end of its operational life , the component parts will be dismantled
and recycled as described in full detail in Decommissioning — Reclamation Plan. US Solar's lease
contract with the property owner requires us to decommission and restore the site at our expense. The
decommissioning plan would commence at the end of the lease term or in the event of twelve ( 12)
monthsof non-operation . At the time of decommissioning, the Solar Garden components will be
dismantled and removed using minimal impact construction equipment , and materials will be safely
recycled or disposed . USS Picadilly Solar LLC will be responsible for all the decommissioning costs.
Please refer to Decommissioning — Reclamation Plan for the full reclamation procedures .
20. Describe the proposed fire protection measures .
USS Picadilly Solar LLC will provide lock code access to the Windsor-Severance Fire and Rescue
(WSFR ) , allowing them access to the Proposed SEF in case of emergency . Additionally , the Project will
provide a training document to WSFR . The access road provides a sufficient hammer head turnaround
and sufficient access for emergency vehicles to enter the site .
Additionally , the native habitat will be mowed periodically to reduce risk and/or spread of fire .
21 . Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code.
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per Chapter 22 of the Weld
County Code . Specifically , the use is consistent with the Guiding Principles in Sec. 22-2- 10 — Respecting
our Agricultural Heritage, Respecting Private Property Rights, Promoting Economic Growth and Stability ,
and Protecting Health, Safety , and General Welfare .
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the following Land Use Goals and Objectives :
A. Commit to the Economic Future of Agriculture. The Proposed SEF does not inhibit agricultural
production nor operations , and maintains the area 's agricultural character. The Proposed SEF will
make use of now-dried agricultural land and will minimize erosion and improve soil quality with
the native habitat mix ground cover.
B. Locate urban development in urban areas. The Proposed SEF will maintain the agricultural
nature of this property and the surrounding areas .
C. Harmonize development with surrounding land uses. The Proposed SEF will blend seamlessly
with the existing agricultural regions on the north , west, and south of the property , and serves as
a transition point into the estate zoning to the east. The Proposed SEF will ensure that the
property is left open and limited from permanent development . The Proposed SEF will preserve
rangeland and maintain the rural character and mountain views appreciated by the estate PUD to
the east.
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the following Economic development goals and objectives :
A. Support compatible economic development opportunities. The Proposed SEF promotes
economic growth and stability through providing jobs, offering economic savings to Weld County
residents, and providing tax payments throughout the life of the Proposed SEF .
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the following Environmental goals and objectives :
A. Encourage responsible and sustainable water usage. The Proposed SEF is sited on a dry land
property , so additional irrigated land is not taken out of production for the Proposed SEF .
Additionally , the native habitat mix that will blanket the Proposed SEF will not use additional water
and will maintain the land quality .
B. Protect water quality within the County. The native habitat mix that will blanket the Proposed
SEF will minimize stormwater erosion and runoff - native habitat has been shown to reduce
stormwater runoff by 23% . Additionally, the native habitat mix will purify surface and groundwater
and will reduce contamination .
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the following Natural Resource goals and objectives :
A. Preserve wetlands and critical habitats. There are no wetlands or critical habitats located on
the property where the Proposed SEF is sited.
B. Support responsible energy and mineral development. The Proposed SEF will utilize existing
infrastructure to facilitate energy production and will not place a burden on existing infrastructure.
Additionally , the Proposed SEF will conserve the land and minimize impact on surrounding land
and land uses, and will preserve agricultural areas and enhance the rural landscape . Because the
Proposed SEF is not a permanent use , it will preserve the rural landscape and the land can be
returned to rangeland after the life of the Proposed SEF .
22. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is
located . ( Intent statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in
Article Ill of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code.)
The Proposed SEF is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural ) Zone District . The Proposed SEF is
sited on dry land , both making use of land that cannot be used for crops as well as preserving the open
rural nature of the A Zone District. Additionally , the Proposed SEF aligns with the A (Agricultural ) Zone
District' s goal of providing areas for energy development without the interference of other, incompatible
land USES .
23. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding
area or adopted master plans of affected municipalities .
The Proposed SEF is compatible with future development of the surrounding area or adopted master
plans of affected municipalities . The site is located within an Intergovernmental Agreement ( ICA) with
both the City of Windsor and the City of Severance . USS Picadilly Solar delivered a Notice of Inquiry form
to both Cities on December 8, 2021 and both Cities declined to annex the property , so there will be no
impact to surrounding municipalities.
The Proposal is compatible with future development by maintaining the A (Agricultural ) zoning
designation and character. Additionally , the Proposed SEF is not a permanent use — upon the end of the
Proposed SEF' s life , the land can be converted to other uses in accordance with land use code at that
time. Therefore, the Proposed SEF does not hinder future development of Weld County or either of the
surrounding Cities .
24. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health , safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
The Proposed SEF will have no impact on the protection of the healthy , safety , and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County . The Proposed SEF is designed in a manner that can
allow it to seamlessly integrate into the community alongside the Agricultural and Estate zoned areas
adjacent to the Proposed SEF. Once operational , the Proposed SEF creates no noise, odor, light or
flickering , vibration , vermin , dust , or other nuisances . There are no impacts to existing infrastructure in
Weld County. The Proposed SEF will not impact traffic , will not place a burden on County services , and
will not impact surrounding properties ' right to quiet enjoyment.
USS Picadilly Solar LLC will obtain all required building and electrical permits and will ensure that the
safety of all parties is of utmost importance throughout the life of the Proposed SEF .
25. Describe any irrigation features . If the proposed use is to be located in the A (Agricultural )
Zone District, explain your efforts to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational
decision for the proposed use.
The Proposed SEF is located on dry land — the property was irrigated until approximately 2005. The
MRCS map illustrates that the property contains " some prime farmland if irrigated . " However, because the
property is not irrigated , there is no prime agricultural land in the Proposed SEF premises.
USS Picadilly Solar LLC will be vegetated with a pollinator-friendly native grass mix that is suited for dry
land, which will continue to regenerate and revegetate the land throughout the life of the Proposed SEF .
26. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the
proposal is located within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard , or
Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps
officially adopted by the County.
Not Applicable — the Proposed SEF is not located within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic
Hazard, or Historical Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area , as identified in the
Weld County GIS Mapping Data .
27. Detail known State or Federal permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status of
each permit. Provide a copy of any application or permit.
Federal : The Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) have performed a field Wetland Delineation on the property
and will provide a letter of clearance if any wetlands are onsite . Additionally , USS Picadilly Solar LLC has
completed the Notice Criteria Tool with the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Project is not
required to file with the FAA.
State : USS Picadilly Solar LLC will apply for and obtain State of Colorado Electrical Permits and SWPPP
permits prior to mobilizing for construction . Should any additional state-level permits be required for the
Project, USS Picadilly Solar LLC will ensure that all permits are received .

ALTERNATIVES STATEMENT
Reasonable alternatives to the proposed location shall be adequately assessed, and the proposed action
shall be consistent with the best interests of the people of the County and shall represent a balanced use
of resources in the affected area
USS Picadilly Solar LLC considered many potential locations for the Proposed SEF in
applying for a Solar * Rewards Community Solar Garden with Xcel Energy . USS Picadilly Solar' s
in- house Site Selection Team screened thousands of parcels in Xcel Energy territory a across
Colorado and filtered out parcels that were characterized by environmental/land impacts ,
major elevation changes , limited interconnection viability, and other criteria . After studying
each parcel , this property emerged as an ideal location for a Proposed SEF .
This location was determined to be ideal for the Proposed SEF for the following reasons :
1 . Interconnection Viability : The Proposed SEF is directly adjacent to Close to Xcel
Energy's three -phase distribution lines .
a . An existing distribution line is located on the west side of County Rd 23 .
b . There is adequate capacity for the Solar Garden on existing distribution line and
other infrastructure .

access to natural sunlight .
3 . Physical and Environmental Characteristics :
a . The Proposed SEF will require limited grading , if any, maintaining natural topsoil
and existing drainage patterns .
b . The Property is no longer irrigated and the Proposed SEF will make use of dry land
that cannot be used for row crops .
c . The Proposed SEF will have no impact on wetlands or neighboring properties .
d . There is adequate space for setbacks .
e . The Property has soils capable of supporting facility and equipment.
4 . Interested landowner : The Property landowners worked closely with US Solar to sign a
lease for the Proposed SEF .

u se through Special Review in this zoning district , and will uphold the guiding
principles of Sec. 22-2- 10 of the Weld County Comprehensive Code : Respecting
o ur Agricultural Heritage , Respecting Private Property Rights , Promoting
Economic Growth and Stability , and Protecting Health , Safety , and General
Welfare .
5. Zoning and character :

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STATEMENT
1 . Height limitation . Ground -mounted solar collectors shall not exceed twenty-five ( 25) feet in
height , measured from the highest grade below each solar panel to the highest extent of the
solar panel rotation .
The Ground-mounted solar collectors will be an average of six (6) to eight (8) feet in height during
normal daily operations . They will not exceed twenty -five (25) feet under any circumstances .
2. Glare . Concentrated solar glare from solar collectors shall not be directed toward or onto
nearby properties or roadways at any time of the day.
The solar collectors do not create significant glare . As such , they will not direct concentrated solar
glare towards or onto nearby properties or roadways at any time of day .
3. Setbacks . The improved area shall conform to the setback requirements of the underlying
zone . Additionally, the improved area must be at least five hundred ( 500 ) feet from existing
residential buildings and residential lots of a platted subdivision or planned unit
development. The residential setback requirement may be reduced if appropriate screening
through landscape or an opaque fence is installed , or upon submittal to Weld County of a
waiver or informed consent signed by the residence owner agreeing to the lesser setback. If
landscaping or opaque fencing is substituted for setback, a landscaping plan or fencing plan
shall first be submitted to and approved by the Department of Planning Services .
The Proposed SEF conforms with the setback requirements of the underlying zone . USS Picadilly
Solar will work with residents within a residential lot of a planned subdivision or planned unit
development that are located within 500 ' of the proposed SEF to discuss the project and receive a
signature on a waiver or informed consent agreeing to a lesser setback without screening .
If we are unable to secure waivers for all neighbors within this region , we will propose installing
appropriate screening as described in the Landscape Plan and/or Fencing Plan .
4. Dust mitigation . The operators of the 5 ACRE SEF shall continuously employ the practices
for control of fugitive dust detailed in their dust mitigation plan submitted as required by
Subsection B . 2 . , above .
The Proposed SEF will continually employ practices for control of fugitive dust . Prior to construction ,
a temporary cover crop will be planted onsite to minimize erosion and dust creation throughout
construction . Following construction , the project footprint will be vegetated with a native dry -land
habitat mix that will minimize erosion and dust creation and stabilize the soils throughout the life of
the Proposed SEF .
5. Underground cables. A l l electrical cables on the improved area shall be buried , except for
direct current string wires that connect between solar collectors, direct current collection
circuits between rows of solar arrays that are no more than four (4) feet above grade
crossings , substations , switchyards , and circuit voltages greater than 34.5 kilovolts (where
necessary).
The Proposed SEF will meet all wiring requirements as outlined above . All electrical cables will be
buried except for those described above .

6. Fencing . The 5 ACRE SEF shall be enclosed with a security fence as approved pursuant to
a fencing plan submitted to the Department of Planning Services. Appropriate signage shall
be placed upon such fencing that warns the public of the high voltage therein .
The Proposed SEF will be enclosed with a farm-field style fence that is made with page wire and
wooden posts . The farm field style fencing is approximately eight (8) feet in height and meets
N ational Electric Code requirements . Farm field style fencing blends in with the existing community
and land use . The farm field style fencing is illustrated in the photo below:

Stormwater Memo I Picadilly Solar February 18, 2022
Project Site
This Drainage Report has been prepared on behalf of United States Solar Corporation , for the
proposed construction of the USS Picadilly Solar LLC Facility in Weld County, Colorado
hereinafter referred to as the project.
The proposed development is located in the NE1/ 4 Quarter of Section 23 , Township 6 North ,
and Range 67 West of the 6th Prime Meridian. More specifically the Project site is
approximately 26 acres of land and is located approximately 1 mile east of Windsor and
approximately 0 . 1 miles southeast of the Weld County Road (WCR) 68 and 23 intersection ,
State of Colorado. The site is covered intermittently with agricultural row crops depending on
time of year. The ground surface slopes to the east and south at an average slope of
approximately 2 % . The site is within a F'EMA Zone X, which is an area of minimal flood hazard.
The site is therefore not within a 1O0 -year flood plain .
General Descri tion of Project�
It is proposed to develop approximately 26 acres of land for the project of an approximate 5MW
solar array. The solar array will deliver renewable energy under a power purchase agreement
(PPA) . The facility is designed for un-manned operation except for bi-annual maintenance .
Therefore , this facility will not represent any significant traffic impact to the surrounding county
roads . Upon termination of the PPA, the improvements will be removed, and the land will be
restored to historic conditions .
Drainage Design
The area under and around the solar panels will be planted with low-maintenance grass seed
mix. Very little additional impervious surface will be added to the site . The only new impervious
surface is the gravel access road (39 ,770 ft" 2) and concrete inverter pads , which are 610 square
feet, per Weld County solar panels are not considered impervious on A or B soils . Given this and
based on conversations with County reviewers , the site will need not need a detention pond per
Weld County requirements due to the minimal onsite addition of impervious and the access
road being disconnected impervious surface . In Proposed Conditions runoff will continue to
sheet flow to the east as it does in existing conditions . Historically stormwater runs east toward
the residential homes to the east of the project area. When the site is fully vegetated after
construction, stormwater will flow off the solar panels , onto the ground, and run through the
grass . The onsite soils, which are mostly categorized as hydrologic soil group A (Attachment 2),
are conducive to infiltration. These soil types were also categorized as loams , sandy loams , and
fine sandy loams . The fully vegetated site will slow runoff and encourage infiltration .
Drainage Improvements
There are no proposed drainage improvements on site . All existing flowpaths will be
maintained and perennial vegetation will be planted onsite that will decrease runoff and
encourage infiltration .
Adjacent Areas
Greely Number 2 Canal is located on the northern and western boundaries of the project but
does not flow through the site. The site drains east and does not drain into this canal . Minor
runoff from offsite areas to the west and north of the fence line sheet flow east onto the project
2 I confidential and Proprietary. TBPLS Firm #10074302
Stormwater Memo I Picadilly Solar February 18, 2022
site and continue east across the site . This small amount of water will pass through the site as in
existing conditions .
Onsite Soils
The soils for this project site are classified as Hydrologic Soil Groups (HSG) A, B, and C
(Attachment 2) with approximately 90 % of the site having HSG type A soils and less than 5%
and 6% of the site having HSG type B and C soils respectively. The soil types found in the
project site area are Fort Collins loam , O to 3 percent slopes , Kim loam , 1 to 3 percent slopes,
Kim loam , 3 to 5 percent slopes , Nelson fine sandy loam , 3 to 9 percent slopes , and Otero sandy
loam , 3 to 5 percent slopes. This soil information is based on the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) National Cooperative Soil Survey . The proposed vegetated
conditions will slow run off and encourage infiltration .
Timing/ Phasing Schedule
In the initial and interim stages , the contractor shall install silt fence , vehicle traction control
and concrete washout at the entrance , and a stabilized staging area. The entirety of the site
requires vegetation establishment prior to commencement of any construction activities . The
purpose of this is to keep soil disturbance below 10 acres to a common discharge point. If at any
time the site exceeds 1O acres of disturbance to a common discharge point, a temporary
sediment basin will be required per the NPDES permit (2 -year, 24-hour sizing) .
BIM Installation, Inspection, and Removal
BMPs will be installed prior to project construction, with the exception of the BMPs in the final
stage. BMPs will be inspected weekly and as required by the County through project completion
by the contractor. BMPs will be maintained and remain in place at least until construction is
finished and the site is vegetated. Once all exposed areas have been covered, the BMPs may be
removed. Since the project does not include any other disturbance, no additional site
stabilization is necessary and/or warranted.
Permanent Stabilization
The project will be seeded with the Weld County's upland area seed mix to establish permanent
stabilization after construction activity has ceased. Reference the table on sheet 13 -66 of
Appendix A in the USDCM Manual , Volume 2 , Chapter 13 . As per the USDCM Manual,
permanent seeding involves the loosening of soil, applying topsoil , drill seeding the disturbed
areas to a depth not less than 1/4 inch and not more than 3/4 inch, and crimping the seeded areas
in straw mulch at a rate of 2 tons per acre to provide immediate erosion protection.
Summary
The proposed site will be designed to maintain its existing drainage patterns. Due to the limited
amount of impervious surface proposed and the proposed conversion of the site from row crops
to the vegetated cover under the panels a decrease in runoff rates is expected for the proposed
conditions when compared to existing conditions. Water quality will be provided by the
disconnected impervious and the proposed vegetation below the panels .

Based on the landcover conversion , the site design will adequately protect public health , safety,
and general welfare and will have no adverse impacts on public right-of-way or offsite
properties .

33. 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.
34. 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 &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 t4 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 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, sandburs, 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.

Hydrologic Soil Group—Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part
De ription
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 (ND, B/U, and CID). 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 ofclays 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 (ND, BID, or C/O), 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 .

DUST AND WEED MITIGATION PLAN
A description of those methods by which dust emanating from the proposed SEF and the
weeds growing upon the impacted area will be mitigated .
The Proposed SEF will continually employ practices to minimize and control any dust emanating
from the Proposed SEF . The Proposed SEF will implement the following procedures to fulfill this
goal :
1 . Prior to construction , a temporary cover crop will be planted onsite to minimize erosion
and dust creation throughout construction .
a . Common cover crop species include hay, oats , or other grass or crop that can
readily establish on arid land that has proven to reduce erosion and dust
emanation .
b . USS Picadilly Solar LLC does not anticipate that construction processes will
produce significant dust . The cover crop will further reduce any dust production .
2 . Following construction , the project footprint will be vegetated with a native dry-land
habitat mix . The table below describes the native habitat mix to be planted at USS
Picadilly Solar LLC .
a . The ground beneath the modules and between rows of the Proposed SEF will be
transformed into a diverse mix of pollinator-friendly, low- lying , deep-rooted
plants .
i . The native dry land habitat mix is a low- maintenance , multi - benefit
groundcover layer that will minimize erosion , dust creation , and
stormwater runoff. Additionally , the native dry land mix will stabilize the
Property's soils throughout the life of the Proposed SEF .
b . USS Picadilly Solar LLC has worked closely with Natural Resource Services , Inc ,
to curate a mix of plants that is well suited to the dry land habitat that it will be
planted on .
c . USS Picadilly Solar LLC will control for noxious weeds throughout the life of the
Solar Garden through mowing the native habitat regularly and treating any
noxious weeds that arise .

LANDSCAPE AND SCREENING PLAN
USS Picadilly Solar LLC is initiating outreach with all neighbors within 500' of the proposed SEE The
Proposed SEF will work with residents within a residential lot of a planned subdivision or planned unit
development that are located within 500 ' of the proposed SEF to discuss the project and receive a signature
on a waiver or informed consent agreeing to a lesser setback without screening.
LANDSCAPE SCREENING
Should USS Picadilly Solar LLC be unable to secure waivers for all neighbors within this region , we will
proposed installing landscape screening along the eastern fenceline of the Proposed SEF. USS Picadilly
Solar LLC has consulted with local contractors and arborists with experience in landscape screening in the
area , including Natural Resource Services , Inc , to discuss landscape screening species that will best adapt
to the dry land and climate in Weld County, should landscaping ultimately need to be implemented.
For the Proposed SEF , should screening be required , USS Picadilly Solar LLC will propose planting a row
of Rocky Mountain Juniper along the eastern fenceline of the Proposed SEF . Rocky Mountain Juniper trees
have historically performed very well on sites with these soil conditions, location and elevation , and local
plant community composition . In addition to providing a visual buffer from neighboring residences , our
landscape screening is designed to fit with the neighborhood and benefit the local environment.
For information on vegetative planting , please refer to Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan.

DECOMMISSIONING - RECLAMATION PLAN
The Proposed SEF consists of many recyclable materials , including glass , semiconductor material ,
steel , aluminum , copper, and plastics. When the Proposed SEF reaches the end of its operational life,
the component parts will be dismantled and recycled as described below► . US Solar's lease contract
with the property owner requires us to decommission and restore the site at our expense . The
decommissioning plan would commence at the end of the lease term or in the event of twelve ( 12)
months of non-operation. At the time of decommissioning , the Proposed SEF components will be
dismantled and removed using minimal impact construction equipment, and materials will be safely
recycled or disposed. All non-utility owned equipment, conduits, structures, fencing, and foundations to
a depth of at least three (3) feet below grade shall be removed. USS Picadilly Solar LLC will be
responsible for all the decommissioning costs .
REMOVAL PROCESS
The decommissioning of the Proposed SEF proceeds in the following reverse order of the installation :
1 . The solar system will be disconnected from the utility power grid
2. PV modules will be disconnected and removed
3. Electrical cables will be removed and recycled off-site
4. PV module racking will be removed and recycled off-site
5. PV module support posts will be removed and recycled off-site
6. Electrical devices , including transformers and inverters , will be removed and recycled off-site
7. Concrete pads will be removed and recycled off-site
8. Fencing will be removed and recycled off-site
9. Reclaim soils in the access driveway and equipment pad areas by removing imported
aggregatematerial and concrete foundations ; replace with soils as needed
The Proposed SEF site may be converted to other uses in accordance with applicable land use
regulationsat the time of decommissioning . There are no permanent changes to the site, and it will be
returned in terrific condition. This is one of the many great things about community solar gardens - if
desired , the site can return to productive farmland after the system is removed.
DECOMMISSIONING CONSIDERATIONS
We ask that Weld County take note of 3 important considerations : 1 ) a Proposed SEF is not a public
nuisance, 2) the resale and recycle value are expected to exceed the cost of decommissioning , and
3) Weld County residents and taxpayers are not at risk.
1 ) Our modules do not contain hazardous materials and the Proposed SEF is not connected to
government utilities (water, sewer, etc. ) . Additionally , almost all the land is permanent vegetation which
improves erosioncontrol , soil quality , and water quality . For these reasons , the Proposed SEF, whether
operational or non- operational , is not a public nuisance threat that would require government
involvement in decommissioningor removal of the Proposed SEF. Compare this to an abandoned
home, barn , etc. that may regularly include hazardous materials and/or become a public nuisance.
2) Upon the end of the Proposed SEF' s life , the component parts may be resold and recycled . The
aggregate value of the equipment is expected to exceed the cost of decommissioning and removal .
Solar modules , for example , have power output warranties guaranteeing a minimum power output in
Year 25 of at least 80% of Year 1 . Since the value of solar panels is measured by their production of
watts and the value of electricity , it is easy to calculate expected resale value . Even using extremely
conservative assumptions, the value of the solar modules alone greatly exceeds the cost of
decommissioning. This does not factor in the recycle value of other raw materials like steel , copper,
etc. So, decommissioning is seen as a process that results in a net profit , incentivizing the Proposed
SEF owner to do it.

3) In the extremely unlikely , "worst-case" scenario where ( 1 ) the Proposed SEF owner fails to
decommission and neither our lender nor any power generation entities want the assets, and then (2)
the landowner fails to decommission the Proposed SEF (which the landowner would have the right to
do under the Property lease) , and then (3) the decommissioning financial bond was insufficient to
decommission the Proposed SEF, Weld County would have its standard police powers to enforce
decommissioning. If that process ultimately resulted in Weld County gaining ownership of the property ,
Weld County could sell the parcel which would absolutely exceed the decommissioning cost.
DECOMMISSIONING FINANCIAL SURETIES
Despite the considerations of 1 ) the Proposed SEF is not a public nuisance , 2) the resale and recycle
value is expected to exceed the cost of decommissioning, and 3) the Weld County and taxpayers are
not at risk, we propose implementing an irrevocable bond in an amount sufficient to fund the estimated
decommissioning/reclamation costs as required by Weld County Code Sec. 23-4-1030 .
This financial surety provides an extra layer of security that the Proposed SEF site will be returned to
the appropriate condition at the end of the Proposed SEF's useful life or earlier, should the Proposed
SEF cease operations for a twelve-month period. The landowner will be provided a copy of the
document, thereby establishing the obligation before construction commences .
The bond will be in the amount of $191 , 320 based on Table 1 below. The estimated costs provided in
this table are based on the New York State Energy Research and Development ( NYSERDA) guidance
document entitled " Decommissioning Solar Panels" . The cost estimate will be updated every five (5)
years from the establishment and submittal of the Security.
