NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the Department of Public Works, be, and hereby is, directed to install R14-3 (No Hazmat Allowed) signs on County Road 79 at the State of Wyoming border for southbound traffic, and on County Road 105 at the intersection of State Highway 14 for northbound traffic, for the safety of the general public, and said signs shall conform to the State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO ATTEST: did, Weld County Clerk to the Board Count Attorney Date of signature: 07/20/Z0 Mike Freeman, Chair Steve Moreno, Pro-Tem arbara Kirkmey OC-: SO((13), a Ois .-r-ch, PwCCP), C-51°' 2020-0506 EG0078 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS -AROUND REVIEW PASS -AROUND TITLE: WCR 390/105/79 - Hazardous Material Route Signs DEPARTMENT: PW DATE: 2/6/20 PERSON REQUESTING: Cameron Parrott Brief description of the problem/issue: WCR 390, 105, and 79 are not designated as hazardous materials routes. Oil & gas truck traffic is being ticketed for hauling hazardous materials on them. Most of these trips are for local pickup and drop-offs and there are no other hazardous material routes for them to use to get to their facilities in the area. Staff is proposing to place regulatory signs on WCR 79 and WCR 105 which would allow for local pickups and drop- offs without penalties. The signs would be a R14-3 (No Hazmat Allowed) sign with a custom plaque below it saying, "Local Deliveries Exempt". These are the same signs that were previously used on WCR 49. A mockup of the sign is attached for reference. The proposed locations of these signs would be: a At the Wyoming border for southbound traffic on WCR 79 ✓ Near the intersection of St. Hwy. 14 for northbound traffic on WCR 105 What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): • BOCC could allow the placement of these signs and plaques o Two signs and two plaques are estimated to cost a total of $500 o Citations could still be issued to haulers who can't prove that they are completing a local pickup or drop off. BOCC could deny the installation of these signs which would leave the roadway as undesignated for hazardous materials. Tickets could still be issued for all hazardous material haulers caught using the roadway. Recommendation: Staff recommends installing the new signs and plaques in the locations noted above.
