USR21-0007
Mr. Hall,
In response to the USR21-0007 for the planned solar facility by Namaste Solar, the Greeley -Weld County
Airport Authority has the following comments.
Reflectivity or glare from solar arrays could be detrimental to pilot and aircraft safety. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that certain configurations of solar arrays can present
temporary or constant glare issues that may temporarily blind pilots. The airport has done work with
solar arrays in the past and even has one on property so they can be compatible with our land use. The
Greeley -Weld County Airport Authority requests that an FAA Form 7460-1 be submitted by the applicant
to determine any effects on our airspace. The 7460 will determine whether the solar array will affect
physical airspace (structure penetration etc), radio and radar frequencies, and navigable airspace. In
addition, the Greeley -Weld County Airport Authority requests that a glare analysis be performed for the
site. The site currently sits under several aircraft "patterns" and is adjacent to our runways. A glare
analysis should show how much glare can be expected from the panels to pilots in the area at all times
of day and the year. If glare can be minimized through a diffuse coating or outer layer on the panels, we
would be in favor of it.
Should the FAA Form 7460-1 and glare study find no significant impact to the safe and efficient use of
the Greeley -Weld County Airport and it's airspace, we will have no further comments. If you have
further questions please contact me at canderson@gxy_net or 970-336-3001.
Thank your_--'

Case No. USR21-0007
E'h of the W'h of the SE 1/4 Section 34, T6N, R65W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 3
Dear Mr. Hall:
We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for Site Specific Development Plan and Use
by Special Review for a medium scale solar facility. The submitted material 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 comments. The
comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this property or the ability of
the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements.
The application seeks to construct a medium scale solar facility on the north half of a
40 -parcel. The parcel currently contains a single-family dwelling, a shed, and the remainder of the
property is used for agricultural purposes. The proposed solar facility will be to the north of the
existing structures on land currently used for agricultural purposes.
Potable water is not required for the solar facility during operation. During construction, the
water supply will be bottled water, and portable toilets will be utilized for sanitation. If necessary,
dust control will be accomplished with the use of a water tanker. During operation, the facility will
be unmanned and will not be frequented by employees at long intervals, therefore a permanent
water supply is not required. The site is proposed to be restored to its original use for agricultural
purposes once the temporary facility is decommissioned in 20-30 years.
The current water supply for the existing single-family dwelling on the property was not
identified in the application materials. The property is within the boundaries of the North Weld
County Water District, therefore it is possible that the dwelling is served by an existing tap. If the
single-family dwelling is served by a well, Weld County Assessor records show that the dwelling was
constructed in 1899, therefore it is likely that a domestic well on the property would not be of
record with this office. Residential wells that were constructed and put to use prior to May 8, 1972,
may continue to be used for the actual domestic purposes served by the well prior to May 8, 1972,
provided such uses do not exceed the maximum uses allowed by statute.

According to records available to this office, irrigation of the property has been accomplished
through the use of water from the Greeley No. 2 Canal and/or well permit no. 4447-R. The well with
permit no. 4447-R was decreed as Well No. 4447 in Division 1 Water Court Case no. W-884 for
irrigation use. Well permit no. 4447-R is included in the Well Augmentation Subdistrict of the Central
Colorado Water Conservancy District's augmentation plan decreed in case no. 03CW0099. The well
may continue to be used for irrigation purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions of its
well permit and decree(s).
The Drainage Report, prepared by Westwood, states that there will be a detention pond
constructed on -site as a part of this project. The applicant should be aware that, unless the
structure can meet the requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as defined
in section 37-92-602(8), C.R.S., the structure may be subject to administration by this office. The
applicant should review the Division of Water Resources' Administrative Statement Regarding the
Management of Storm Water Detention Facilities and Post-Wildland Fire Facilities in Colorado,
available on our website, to ensure that the notification, construction, and operation of the
structure meets statutory and administrative requirements. The applicant is encouraged to use the
Colorado Stormwater Detention and Infiltration Facility Notification Portal, located at
https://maperture.digitaldataservices.com/gvh/?viewer=cswdif, to meet the notification
requirements.
Should you or the applicant(s) have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Javier
Vargas -Johnson at this office at 303-866-3581 ext. 8227 or via email at
