Part II: General Provisions
the pipeline, as determined by the County. County will determine the proportionate share of dust control to
be paid by Operator. The amount and extent of dust control measures will be determined by site -specific
conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County personnel. The County reserves the right to
install traffic counters on the driveway(s) of the Operator's facility. The County will have sole responsibility
for determination of the percentage of haul route traffic on all affected roads.
2.0 Obligation to Maintain Current and Future Haul Routes: Operator will be financially responsible for
the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or future haul route roads, which in the sole
opinion of County has been created by vehicle traffic to and from the Property. Should Operator's site
activities or vehicle circulation patterns change in the future so that County approves an alternate haul route,
and all or a significant portion of Operator's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the abovedescribed haul route
and instead utilizes other portions of County roads, Operator shall cooperate with County in maintenance of
said roads which are included within the new haul route. The type and method of repair will be determined
by the County Engineer or his representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification by the
County for any roadway damage that exposes the driving public to adverse or unsafe driving conditions. All
other repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's written notice.
2.1 Need for Immediate Repairs: In the event of damage to an Approved Haul Route by Project
traffic that causes an immediate threat to public health and safety or renders the road impassible
("Significant Damage"), County shall, after inspection, notify Operator of such Significant
Damage. Operator shall identify the repair required and shall consult with County on the extent,
type, timing, materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary versus permanent) within twenty-four
(24) hours after receipt of such notice and shall commence such repair within 48 hours after
receipt of such notice. If Operator identifies Significant Damage prior to receiving notice
thereof from County, Operator may commence repair of such Significant Damage and shall
concurrently notify County of the extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair (i.e.
temporary versus permanent).
2.2 In County's sole discretion, County may undertake the repairs and/or improvements. Operator's
payment for its Proportionate Share of the road repairs/improvements will be calculated as
described in this Agreement.
3.0 Proportionate Share of Road Maintenance Responsibilities:
3.1 Operator shall pay its Proportionate Share of costs of dust control/abatement, paving, repairs,
maintenance, improvements, or future road replacement of any particular Haul Route Road.
Operator's Proportionate Share shall be based upon the percentage of traffic on the road that is
attributable to Operator's facility. County personnel will determine the percentage based on then
current Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Counts. Operator shall not be responsible for
traffic that is not sourced from the Operator's facility.
3.2 The County shall notify Operator of County's preliminary determination and assessment of
Operator's proportionate share of costs. Prior to County's final determination and assessment,
County shall provide Operator with a reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon and
supplement County's data, collection methodology, and determinations. The County shall
review and consider Operator's input prior to making a final determination and assessment. The
County shall have sole responsibility for determination of Operator's proportionate share of
costs.
