Dear Sir:
We inspected the Boxelder Sheep Company parcel of land located in the
Sh of . 19, T. 8N, R. 65W, Weld County, Colorado on March 20, 1974 to
determine if the holding ponds endanger Lone Tree Creek.
The Weill County Health Department approved the said parcel of land for
a livestock feeding operation provided:
(1) The retention ponds be located 1000 feet frail the
Lone Tree Creek
(2) A permanent system shall be installed to pump the
liquid waste fra:1 the retention ponds to the spray
irrigation system. Installation of system to be
at time of construction of livestock confinement
area. •
In September 1972, the Weld County Planning Commission recommended approval
to the Board of County Commissioners, provided a sealed lagoon, as recommended
by SCS and increasing the size to a total of 9.7 acre feet. The lagoon to be
located at bank 400 feet fium the West bank of the Lone Tree Creek and a line
installed to pump the waste up to the walking sprinkler as required by the Health
Department.
On November 29, 1972 the Board of Commissioners passed a Resolution that the
application of Boxelder Sheep Company for a location for a cattle feedlot on the
premise stated above, be granted under the conditions following:
Petitioner shall construct a sealed lagoon as proposed
and increase the size of same to hold at least 9.7 acre
of water, and to be located at least 400 feet fLan west
bank of Lone Tree Creek or also build a dike between said
lagoon and Lone Tree Creek.

After staff inspection of the site on March 20, we are still of the
opinion that ponds would present less hazard to Lone Tree Creek if built as
we recommended to the Weld County Planning Commission, 1000 feet fran the
West bank. Since the feedlot construction is not euivlete at this time, it
would seam timely to consider this matter further. Mr. Paul and I would be
glad to confer with the members of the Board or we would be glad also to
confer with the planning Ctroi.ssion if that is the desire of the Commissioners.
Yours sincerely,
or
