The (iI%* Commissioners resolution supporting the submission of the petition for WCR 49 can be found in Appendix A. The Weld County Highway is a new type of roadway classified as a "County Highway, " pursuant to C . R.S. § 43-2-110(1 .5), which means that even if parts of it are annexed into municipalities, Weld County will be responsible for maintenance in perpetuity. This classification is critical to preserve the functionality of this roadway as a highway in order to move large amounts of traffic with very controlled access. The Weld County Highway itself was completed in many phases . While the highway corridor covers 27 miles total extending from I-76 to SH 392, this petition request is only for the 20-mile portion of the corridor between I-76 and US 34 . The Department of Public Works has evaluated the request and determined the proposed WCR 49 route more than satisfies the requirements for transportation of petroleum products, including crude oil .

Population Typical of traffic models, Weld County's traffic modeling took into consideration land use, employment density and population density along with traffic volumes. Weld County is one of the first agencies to use the Colorado Department of Transportations (CDOT) statewide traffic model as the basis for Weld County's 2045 traffic model. As described in Appendix C of ATG's report, population forecasts between the FOCUS model and the Colorado State Demographic Office (CSDO), analyzed the results, which both forecast Weld County having a 3% population increase between 2015 and 2045 . As you can see from the figure, the majority of Weld County has a population density of less than 100 people per square mile. While1\ the small towns of Hudson , I l -- I r i Keenesburg and Kersey have ; A l annexed portions of the corridor, ! L n WCR 49 does not actually go C:xrnly through any of the populated , portion of the townsites. All of twiner the municipalities are more than Grimm 4 two miles away from the actual e Mid Cartcy " le ,,,,,..:;,_ . _ , corridor. Hudson and Keenesburg jurisdictions are # f ,w ` 7 rt- 2015 Papuleban Density Per Square located on the southern end of1 ••l .0 ir --' i the corridor with the Town of IBod*V ' Lon .tit;, E i ,l�[ Ut4J _ 3 A0I • 5.1n t Kersey located on the north end . T No • S?}3 Of the county's 4,000 square - w ktoar } Ss miles, half of the county's Figure f: 2015 Population Density population is in an 800 square mile area in the southwestern part of the county. According to the US Census on census•gov, in 2010, Weld County's population per square mile was 63.4 • According to the 4 State Demographer, Weld County's population density in 2018 was 74 people per square mile. The US Census does not provide QuickFacts statistics for populations less than 5,000. Therefore, the population densities for Hudson, Kersey, and Keenesburg were found on www.worldpopulationreview.com. The population density of the Town of Hudson is 345 people per square mile, The Town of Keenesburg is 382 people per square mile and the Town of Kersey is 1,003 people per square mile. While the communities have annexed portions of the roadway, in accordance with HB16-1155, the ownership of the roadway is similar to CDOT's highway system in that Weld County owns and maintains the highway regardless of annexation by a jurisdiction. It is important to recognize the maintenance of this corridor will always be with Weld County so it is clear we ways b t financially j F maintainwillal thise corridorableo in perpetuity,, 9. Environmentally Sensitive Areas . teirl CL The WCR 49 corridor has many existing oil and gas facilities, which currently results in a high number of petroleum 4 vehicles utilizing the corridor. We are . a + ilaiprn '"`'`''c"""°' Cawley not g newyp anticipating types of hazardous materials being introduced to the . to 21145 Po xiitbn Dimity Per Spurn Mile — • aS corridor. We believe the vehicles already ice • «. : -t r �^ - � using the corridor for local pickup and �e,o,,,a„ -04. an toes � `°"�' � SAM - delivery will continue to utilize this route • • la C3""'"°°�'' because we are requesting reinstatement l► of the petroleum exemption, including Figure 2: 2045 Population Density the exemption for crude oil. Again, these types of vehicles are currently using the corridor, we do not anticipate any negative impacts to environmentally sensitive areas, including but not limited to existing hospitals, schools, stadiums, commercial buildings, prisons, senior citizen homes, group homes, English second language (ESL) populations, handicapped facilities, or any other known large population of individuals that may require additional considerations in the event of a hazardous materials spill impacting the proposed route. Weld County evaluated historic, archeological, environmentally sensitive areas and environmental justice considerations to ensure the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies for this corridor. We conducted many public meetings prior to construction and the contractor met with each homeowner personally. Interstate Highway Construction (IHC) employs Spanish speaking staff, so if the family was Spanish speaking only, they were able to translate to ensure clear communication was occurring. Being a highway, there is not much pedestrian activity due to the fact that no sidewalks exist. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements were taken into consideration wherever feasible on WCR 49 . Bicycles are required to follow the rules of the road on this corridor. Due to the high truck percentages, we do not see high cyclists' numbers 5 utilizing this corridor However, there are eight -foot wide shoulders on the straight portions of the road and four to six-foot wide shoulders at the intersections to ensure safety for all modes of transportation In addition, WCR 49 is not located near any stadiums, correctional facilities, senior and group homes Most of these types of urban uses are located within municipalities This route is more rural and agriculture in nature There are some commercial buildings along the corridor, especially those related to oil and gas operations, but dairy's, feedlots, and farming activities still represent the majority of uses along the corridor Following is a more detailed description of the environmentally sensitive areas a Evaluation of environmentally sensitive areas along the corridor was also conducted prior to reconstruction During reconstruction of WCR 49, protocols were established for proper containment and disposal of any hazardous materials Weld County took responsibility to mitigate any impacts to historical and wetland resources identified There are two different floodplains One through Box Elder Creek and the second through Jim's Creek Weld County constructed this corridor in accordance with the no -rise requirements of the floodplain, which was obtained through the required 404 permits Therefore, environmental surveys were completed for wetlands, historic resources and potential hazardous materials along the WCR 49 corridor and appropriate information was incorporated into the design to minimize potential impacts as much as possible All the environmental documents can be found in Appendix D b Senior and Group homes To our knowledge, there are no senior or group homes located adjacent to the corridor The nearest facilities would be located in the town limits of Kersey or Hudson c. Stadiums or prisons There are no stadiums or prisons located adjacent to the corridor d. Handicap facilities There are no handicap facilities along this highway because there are no existing facilities to connect to Pedestrian activity is not encouraged on highways e Schools within one mile of the proposed routes There are no schools within one mile of the proposed route The nearest schools are more than two miles away in both Kersey and Hudson f Hospitals within one mile of the proposed routes The are no hospitals within one mile of the proposed route The nearest hospitals are in Greeley and Brighton Further Information about environmentally sensitive areas around bridges, schools and hospitals can be found on the vicinity map in Appendix E 6 With this corridor being located in the hub of oil and gas extraction, you would think we would see more hazardous material calls than we do Weld County and the Fire Districts (Platte Valley, LaSalle, Hudson, SE Fire) are very familiar with these uses and how to address an emergency incident We have good working relationships with not only our first responder partners but our industry partners too and are comfortable working together to manage any incidents that may occur Weld County will continue to take the necessary steps needed in responding to a hazardous materials incident along this route to ensure any impacts to a facility or population are mitigated or remediated immediately 10 Emergency Response Weld County has received positive feedback from the Fire Districts representing this area regarding this designation In addition, Weld County has in place a mutual aid agreement with all emergency response agencies Since this corridor already sees vehicles for local pickup and delivery for oil and gas operations, the Fire Districts do not perceive this petition as anything more than a formality for what is already occurring in the field In addition, first responders with jurisdiction participate in training with industry partners on appropriate steps to take with hazmat transportation incidents for coordination and response with the industry Further information can be found in Appendix F and letters of support from the Fire Districts can be found in Appendix H Agency Hazmat Response Team Colorado State Patrol Yes Weld County Sheriff's Office No Platte Valley Fire District No Town of Kersey Police Department No LaSalle Fire District No Hudson Fire District No Hudson Police Department No Southeast Weld Fire District No Greeley Fire Department Yes Poudre Valley Fire Authority Yes Mountain View Fire District Yes 11 Condition of the routes WCR 49 is a major arterial corridor in which approximately half of the daily traffic accounts for truck trips and has a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour (MPH) The reconstruction of WCR 49 occurred over a 14 month time period and included the relocation of approximately 110 miles of utility/oil & gas facilities, 4 new bridges, 15 intersections, over 937,000 square yards of 11" thick concrete pavement, over 320,000 tons of base course material, and over 440,000 cubic yards of dirt moved This was by far the largest project ever undertaken by Weld County 7 This project ended up costing a little over $107,000,000 including design, construction, utility relocations, permitting, material testing, and ROW acquisitions . As mentioned above, a vicinity map of the bridges along the proposed route can be found in Appendix E. Innovative drainage design was utilized to meet the stringent drainage criteria, which required elimination of overtopping of the road, no-rise in the two floodplains that covered approximately 1/3 of the roadway and create no impacts to adjacent properties. In addition, 35 7 ' storm crossings were added to the roadway. A Tensar geogrid was used to mechanically stabilize the subgrade in lieu of the originally specified R-40 subgrade. This section was proven through Automatic Plate Load Testing in the field to verify design values. The typical 5 dowels per wheel path were reduced to 4, whilejjt .:1ijjj; .. '� the dowel diameter was reduced from 1 .5" to 1 .25" . These changes were evaluated using Mechanistic-Empirical - ' pavement design and ACPA dowel CAD . A fusion bonded epoxy coating was used on all dowel bars and baskets,p Y giving them corrosion resistance onpar with stainless steelper g g M` 7�' a w independent testing. A cure/sealer was used on the concrete to � � r promote sulfate resistance. �7 ` ° t �q�' z f .. The existing roadway asphalt was recycled into base course Pr ` s �' � 4a p Y --_ ., _ r . # , utilized in the concrete section. All concrete aggregates were '1„pr., . '" ' r mined on-site to not only meet the project demand, but also ,f allow for the continual optimization of the mix design and r eliminate supply risks . This also eliminated a huge amount of s trucking with its attendant costs and impact on the environment and travelling public. Stringless paving was utilized for a majority of the project. We believe this is the first time that stringless technology has been used for highway paving in Colorado. Many of these optimizations were firsts for the State of Colorado and are now being implemented on other projects in the state. A Traffic Design to 2045, with greatly increased safety, no sight-distance issues, turn lanes and medians were utilized . Hills were cut and valleys filled to reduce sight distance issues and improve safety. Bridges were built to exceed 100-year flood levels and overlaid with Polymer asphalt to increase bridge life durability and longevity. Pavement design was 11 " thick Portland Cement Concrete Pavement with a 30-year design life. Coordination with farmers included the reconstruction of existing irrigation systems, which significantly improved water flow to farms. This project was a fine example of what can be achieved with the Design-Build delivery system, the spirit of innovation, and a strong project partnership. A project schedule that many considered impossible to complete on time was completed a month ahead of schedule, the project was completed under budget, and new and innovative solutions that were proven on this project are now being implemented on other projects in the state and are reducing the cost of constructing concrete pavements. This new five lane concrete corridor is a safe, high quality, efficient roadway that will serve the public well for many years and is the 8 poster child for designation of a hazmat route. 12. Climate Conditions While there are no unique weather conditions applicable to this corridor, in order to improve snow and ice removal maintenance of the corridor, Weld County is installing Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) throughout the county. Weld County has an existing weather station at WCR 49 and WCR 32 and will have a new tower location at the intersection of WCR 44 this year. The sites look similar to CDOT' s weather stations located along I-25, I-76 and Highway 14 . The county sites help fill in the blank spots that we are currently not able to capture through CDOT's RWIS sites. We use the weather stations to manage current storm events and forecast future roadway conditions during rain, snow, and ice storm events. If any spills were to occur, the video from these towers could significantly improve the response effort and provide real time information to assist with clean up thereof. 13.

Union Pacific Railroad Crossing There is an existing Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) spur that is not abandoned north of WCR 54 and south of the Latham Ditch. While most railroad crossings require hazmat vehicles to come to a complete stop in accordance with federal regulations, Weld County worked with UPRR to identify this railroad crossing _ : - , . . - as "Exempt" because it is not 41, + currentl an active railroad r-,\tog - y oc.

In the future, should UPRR re-activate their line, Weld County will have to install signals (lights) and gates at this location at our cost. This crossing has already been constructed to accommodate the addition of such equipment. 9 15.

There are many 10 existing oil and gas facilities so reinstating the petroleum exemption, including the exemption for crude oil on this route will provide more flexibility and options for petroleum transporters The proposed route meets this requirement © The designation is not arbitrary or intended by the petitioner merely to divert the transportation of [petroleum products] to other communities, Local communities are supportive of this petition because the current hazmat route goes directly through their municipalities on US 85 Those communities include but are not limited to, Brighton, Fort Lupton, Platteville, Gilcrest, LaSalle and Evans These communities could have a direct safety benefit for utilizing WCR 49 as an alternate hazmat route, since their population centers are directly adjacent to US 85 In contrast to the towns along WCR 49, which have only annexed portions of roadway and whose population centers are not adjacent to the corridor This demonstrates a complimentary parallel alternative to US 85 In addition, the economic benefit of reduced transportation costs for a more direct alignment will economically benefit the entire region It is anticipated that only a small redistribution of vehicles carrying petroleum products will occur and is not intended to divert transportation of petroleum products to other communities The proposed route meets this requirement Letters of support from the local jurisdictions within the affected area can be found in Appendix H, including an email from CDOT Traffic stating this corridor is assisting with reducing Truck VMT on US 85, which improves transportation congestion e The designation will not interfere with the pickup or delivery of [petroleum products], The intent of reinstating the petroleum exemption is to provide for more options for petroleum transporters, including the exemption for crude oil The designation will allow transporters to drive shorter distances when picking up and delivering petroleum products, thereby creating less interference and more economic benefit to the region ® The designation is consistent with all applicable federal laws and regulations, The proposed route is consistent with all applicable federal laws and regulations 11 APPENDIX A RESOLUTION RE APPROVE SUBMISSION OF PETITION FOR DESIGNATION OF WELD COUNTY PARKWAY (CR 49) AS A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ROUTE TO COLORADO STATE PATROL AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and WHEREAS, pursuant to C R S §42-20-301 and 302, the Colorado State Patrol has authority to designate roads and highways of Colorado as hazardous materials routes, and WHEREAS, the County is authorized to petition for a change in existing route designations no more than once per year, provided the petition is approved by the Board of County Commissioners, and WHEREAS, with the completion of the Weld County Highway improvements and improved safety of the corridor, it is ,appropriate to request Colorado State Patrol consider reinstating a Petroleum Exemption for County Road 49, also known as the Weld County Parkway, and WHEREAS, Weld County staff has evaluated the criteria and believes this route is feasible, practicable, and not unreasonably expensive for such transportation, and will allow more options to petroleum transporters, will not have a negative impact on the industry, and will have positive economic benefits, and WHEREAS, the Board of Weld County Commissioners finds it appropriate and desirable to petition the Colorado State Patrol to make this designation because the route is continuous and serves as an alternate detour route to U S Highway 85, which provides greater safety options to the public by reducing these vehicles travelling through municipalities, and WHEREAS, the Board of Weld County Commissioners understands the Colorado State Patrol will be holding public meetings in the impacted areas to gauge public sentiment for the change prior to making a final decision NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the submission of the petition to the Colorado State Patrol requesting reinstatement of the Petroleum Exemption on the Weld County Parkway (County Road 49) to reduce regulation on petroleum transporters, be, and hereby is, approved BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board that the Chair be, and hereby is,

The project is a collaborative effort between the Weld County and the Alliance Transportation Group, Inc. (Alliance ) to develop three ( 3 ) travel demand forecasting scenarios using the Colorado Department of Transportation ( CDOT) Statewide Travel Demand Model ( FOCUS ) to forecast 2045 traffic for Weld County . The use of the CDOT FOCUS model provides a consistent forecast for all of Weld County and allows for an understanding of regional trip patterns and their effect on Weld County. To meet project objectives , Alliance developed the modeling scenarios, conducted the analysis, and reported the results to the Weld County . The following sections of the report describe the method used for the traffic forecast and the results of the forecast . The FOCUS model was reviewed and updated to ensure the forecasting reliability for the traffic forecasts . A 2045 No Build Scenario, a 2045 Build Scenario, and a oil and gas related truck scenario were performed using the CDOT FOCUS model . TG ALLIANCE tRAN5PORTATlON GROUF WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST TRAFFIC FORECASTING METHODOLOGY Travel Models are tools used to help understand how changes to a transportation system , combined with population growth and land use changes over time, might affect travel patterns in a given area in a specified future year. The recently developed CDOT FOCUS model was obtained from the CDOT and was used as the tool for forecasting traffic for Weld County. Using the CDOT FOCUS model provides consistent socioeconomic data for both base year and forecast years at the TAZ level and allows for an understanding of regional trip patterns and their effect on Weld County, thus providing a consistent forecast for all of Weld County . The FOCUS model is an activity- based model covering the entire state of Colorado with a base year of 2015 and a forecast year of 2045 . The 2045 FOCUS model network reflects the roadway projects included the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan ( MTP ) of every Metropolitan Planning Organization ( MPO ) within the state . The FOCUS model inputs were reviewed to ensure that the model accurately represents the 2015 land use and roadway conditions within Weld County, and that the model reasonably forecasts land use and roadway traffic in 2045 . The FOCUS model base year validation within Weld County was reviewed and improved to increase the model' s forecasting reliability. Input revisions were carried through to all modeled scenarios to ensure consistency. The following section describes how the CDOT FOCUS model was reviewed and updated to forecast traffic for Weld County. FOCUS MODEL REVIEW AND UPDATES The basic building blocks of a Travel Model are the transportation system network layer and the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) layer. The network layer represents the transportation system , including different categories of roads ( such as freeways, arterials, collectors, ramps , etc . ) in a region . The TAZ layer stores land use information of a region . A TAZ is a basic geographical unit that links land uses with the transportation system . Geographic Layers Review The FOCUS model TAZ structure within Weld County was reviewed and found to be adequate for the desired level of detail within Weld County. No changes were made to the existing TAZ structure . The FOCUS model adopts a single-year roadway network that only includes roadways for the specific scenario year; therefore, any roadway network updates need to be performed on each individual scenario network. The network review and revisions were conducted on the base year and forecast year networks through a series of steps . First, the base year 2015 network was reviewed for areas within Weld County . Minor coding errors such as link connectivity were fixed . The centroid connectors of TAZs within Weld County in the base year 2015 network were reviewed and adjusted to better reflect zonal traffic loading to the network. The revisions to the 2015 network were carried over to the 2045 network. Second , the FOCUS model 2045 network was reviewed for areas within Weld County. The MTP projects that were reflected in the 2045 network were identified , as shown in Table 1 . These projects are included in the 2045 No Build Scenario network. Third , the Weld County Capital Improvement Program ( CIP ) projects were reviewed and capacity- related projects (See Table 2 ) were coded to the 2045 No Build Scenario network. /CT G ALLIANCE TRANSPORTAPON G • WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST • Fourth , the planned roadway closures along US 85 were reflected in the 2045 No Build Scenario network .

As part of the base year validation review, the 2015 zonal population and employment in Weld County were reviewed based on Google Earth aerial images . The Google Earth aerial images confirmed the CDOT FOCUS model inputs reasonably represent the 2015 land use conditions in Weld County. The 2045 land use inputs of the FOCUS model were reviewed to ensure the model incorporated a reasonable 2045 land use forecast for Weld County. The Weld County population forecasts between the FOCUS model and the Colorado State Demographic Office ( CSDO ) projection are very similar, as shown in Table 4 . Figure 1 and Figure 2 show FOCUS model projected zonal population density within Weld County for 2015 and 2045, respectively. The population density change presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2 appears to indicate reasonable urban -centered growth patterns . The FOCUS model forecasts that the entire Weld County will have a 3 % population growth rate between 2015 and 2045 . This trend is consistent with the population projection for Weld County by the CSDO . Table 4: Weld County Population Comparison Source 2045 Population FOCUS Model 647, 692 CSDO Projection 644, 943 Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the FOCUS model projected zonal employment densities within Weld County for 2015 and 2045, respectively . The FOCUS model forecasts that Weld County employment will reach over 223, 000 in 2045, about 2 % annual growth between 2015 and 2045 . This trend is reasonable based on the historical growth between 2002 and 2012 calculated using the Economic Census data downloaded from the US Census Bureau website .

A 2015 research study ( CDOT, 2015 ) sponsored by CDOT on oil and gas impacts on transportation provided information on the number of truck trips associated with oil and gas activities . The report confirms that many factors have impacts on the oil and gas truck trip generation, including the stage of the oil and gas activity ( construction , drilling, completion , number of wells per pad ) . The truck types utilized vary by well development phase as well . The report concluded that during a 20-year average production period average annual truck trips per well is 560, which is about 1 . 53 trips per day. The comparison between the FOCUS model truck volumes and available truck counts indicates that truck trips are underestimated when compared to vehicle classification counts (truck counts ) . Note that CDOT is aware of this and even advised the study team that the volumes forecasted for oil and gas related trucks should be reviewed and adjusted before use . The oil and gas well GIS layer was downloaded from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ( COGCC ) website and contains over 26, 000 active wells ' . Additional detail about the oil and gas well truck volumes is included in the methodology section of this report . Validation Review The CDOT FOCUS model was validated for each model step ( generation , distribution , mode choice, and traffic assignment ) . The total modeled volume on links with traffic count shows an 88% match to the total traffic counts, with a 38% Root Mean Square Error ( RMSE ) . Table 5 presents the validation statistics comparisons before and after the network corrections and adjustments . This quality of overall match to observed traffic counts is more than adequate to justify the use of the FOCUS model with this analysis . The comparison in Table 5 shows that the network corrections and centroid connector adjustments improved the FOCUS model performance for modeling roadway volumes for the roadways of most interest to Weld County, i . e . , facilities at or below principal arterial level .

The HUTF layer is assembled to include the required information for developing traffic forecasts and computing traffic measures, including functional class, number of lanes, capacity, most recent counts , and the cross-walk between the FOCUS model network links and HUTF layer links . The cross -walk between the FOCUS model network links and HUTF layer links are built through a labor- intensive process to enable the transfer of FOCUS model forecasted volume onto the HUTF layer. Facility Type Facility type was assigned to the HUTF layer to facilitate the capacity calculation in the later step. To be consistent with the FOCUS model traffic forecast assumptions, the designation of facility type on the HUTF layer was based on the FOCUS model network facility type definition . The roadways on the HUTF layer carry the same facility type as the FOCUS model network if the roadway is present in the FOCUS model network . For the other roadways, the facility type was assigned to the network based on roadway number of lanes , pavement type, and traffic flow that it is serving. The facility type description is shown in Table 6 . Capacity To be consistent with the FOCUS model traffic forecast assumptions , the per- hour per- lane capacity is assumed to be the same as used in the FOCUS model by facility and area types . For the links that are not in the FOCUS network, a typical capacity is assumed considering the pavement type . Subdivision / local roads by pavement type were also identified and have an individual capacity shown in Table 6 and Table 7 below .

The most recent count information ( count and count year) was transferred onto the HUTF layer for each count station . If multiple counts were present for the same link with the same count station , the most recent count and count year information was transferred ; if multiple count stations were present for the same link, the counts from multiple stations were evaluated for consistency and then the average of the most recent counts was used as the count for the link . TRAFFIC FORECASTS As described in the previous sections, the FOCUS model is validated and selected to be the tool for producing the traffic forecasts for Weld County roadways . Therefore, the main source of the traffic forecasts is the FOCUS model results . The following strategies are adopted when developing the traffic forecasts : If the roadway is in the FOCUS model network, the modeled volume, including total volume and truck volume will be used as the traffic forecast for the roadway . If the roadway is not in the FOCUS model network, the available count information becomes the most reliable source for predicting future traffic and a growth rate is applied to the count to derive forecast year traffic based on subarea and facility type attributes . To address oil and gas trucks, a thorough review of the base year modeled truck volume and available observed truck counts was done to identify the systematic pattern of truck underestimation . Trucks are underestimated primarily on a few routes such as WCR 49 . Therefore, the model - based and count- based truck volume forecast on these facilities was evaluated and the truck volumes were adjusted based on the calculated shortage of oil and gas trucks in the county, the trucks primary routing, and the identified location of oil and gas activity in the county . If the roadway is not in the FOCUS model network and does not have count information , the links were examined . Some link volumes are logically derived based on the available connecting roadway volumes . ALLIANCE TRANSPORTATION GROUP WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST If volumes cannot be logically derived , a potential traffic volume range is assumed for the roadway . The potential traffic volume range is developed based on the roadway facility type and subarea it which it is located . The median volume ( average level ) of the links of the same facility type within the same subarea is summarized and recommended as the likely volume for the roadway . Median truck percentages are calculated in a similar way and the median truck percentages are applied to the median volume to derive the estimated trucks on these links . e The resulting traffic forecasts are visually inspected for consistency and reasonableness , and adjustments were applied to resolve inconsistencies from different forecasting sources . Traffic Growth Rate Development As is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the development within Weld County is not uniform across the county . Consequently, the traffic growth is not evenly distributed geographically. It is beneficial to calculate traffic growth rate based on geographic locations that are consistent with the development patterns in the county . Table 8 presents the subarea definition that is used in this study which follows the subareas used in the Weld County 2035 Transportation Plan , as shown in Figure 5 . Note that due to the FOCUS model zone structure , the zones vary slightly along WCR 73 and US 85 .

To better understand the network performance, peak period volume and V/C ratio is also developed . The AM peak period is 6 : 30 - 9 : 00 am and the PM peak period is 3 : 00 - 7 : 00 pm following the FOCUS model peak period definition . The peak volume is calculated by applying the peak hour factors to the daily volume . The peak hour factors are calculated as the percent of trips traveling during the peak period based on the trip tables produced by the FOCUS model . The AM and PM peak hour factors are 0 . 1986 and 0 . 3269, respectively . The peak hour capacity is calculated by multiplying the number of hours in each time period by the hourly capacity, which is 2 . 5 and 4 for the AM and PM periods, respectively . ErG ALLIAN TRANSPORTATION GCE RC _ WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST 2045 TRAFFIC FORECASTS As mentioned in the previous section , the traffic forecast was generated for roadways included in the HUTF layer based on two data sources : the FOCUS model and traffic count data . Additionally, for some links that do not have source data , the traffic forecasts could be logically derived based on their connections with links that have source data . If a link did not have a source and could not be derived , labeled as a " No Count No Model link" , an estimate was generated using links in the same facility type-subarea category, which have either a source or derived volume . From these links an average and median volume was calculated and used as estimates for the No Count No Model links . The potential volume upper limits for the roadways that are neither in the FOCUS model network nor with available count information are shown below in Table 10 . Table 11 presents the median volume for the facility type-subarea category . Note that some facility type-subarea categories are not present in the HUTF layer and values are not available .

A W1MS CALIPER Figure 14: 2045 Build PM Period Volume-to-Capacity Ratio OIL AND GAS TRUCK VOLUMES Understanding the quality of truck traffic associated with oil and gas production is important for Weld County, which has over 40% of the active oil and gas wells in the entire state of Colorado ( CDOT, 2015 ) . This analysis relies on the following research : CDOT study : Oil and Gas Impacts on Transportation ( CDOT, 2015 ) Adams County Oil & Gas Traffic Impact Study ( Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, 2018 ) This analysis is also anchored to the following Weld County specific, key data sources : ALLIANCE f TRANSPORTATION GROUP WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST GIS layer of Oil and Gas Locations, Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ( COGCC) , 2020; The traffic counts layer included in the Comprehensive Plan Geodatabase and the updated AADT spreadsheet provided by Weld County; and CDOT's Statewide Travel Demand Model ( FOCUS Model ) , which was provided to the team in 2019 . The FOCUS model covers the state of Colorado and can produce traffic estimates by passenger vehicles and trucks . As oil and gas truck volume and truck types vary across different stages of oil and gas well development, the estimation of oil and gas related truck volumes on county roadways requires a substantial effort in analyzing oil and gas related traffic data . Additionally, there are no specific traffic counts available to calibrate and validate the estimation of oil and gas related trucks . Lastly, it is beyond the scope of this analysis to forecast the future development of oil and gas wells , the price of oil, and oil and gas production levels . While the lack of key data limits the ability to gauge the amount of trucks associated with oil and gas production in the future, this study aims to estimate and quantify the background flow of oil and gas trucks based on existing oil and gas well locations and existing production and associated truck activity levels . To accomplish this, county subareas were grouped into two districts ( West District and East District) to capture oil and gas trips . The two districts are largely separated by US 85 to account for the oil and gas well locations, well densities , roadway network densities, and major traffic corridors : Figure 15 displays the West and East District subareas . The oil and gas well GIS layer downloaded from the COGCC website contains 26,456 active wells in Weld County . Active wells were selected to serve as the basis to estimate oil and gas truck trips . The active well locations are presented in Figure 16 .

Based on these assumptions, the total oil and gas truck VMT was calculated and is presented in Table 19 . Affiance Transportation Group, Inc. 1 29 tr.G ALLIANCE TRANSPORTATION GROUP WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST Table 19: Oil and Gas Truck VMT Number of Active Wells Oil and Gas Trips' Oil and Gas VMTs I West District 7, 830 12 , 000 180, 000 IEast District 18, 626 28, 000 427, 000 Total Weld County 26, 456 40, 000 607, 000 According to the CDOT sponsored study and using an average trip length of 15 miles, oil and gas truck VMT on the state highway system is roughly 180,000, 000 . This equates to 500, 000 VMT a day for the state in 2013 ( CDOT, 2015 ) . In 2013 , Weld County contained 20, 881 active wells , which is over 40% of the total active wells in Colorado , and produced around 200, 000 truck VMT a day . In 2020 , Weld County had 26,456 active wells . Assuming a consistent trend , the active wells in Weld County would have produced 252, 000 oil and gas production related truck VMT. Weld County is a significant region for the oil and gas industry in the state of Colorado and is involved with a significant portion of oil and gas trips from nearby Colorado counties . For example, 90% of the oil and gas trips from Adams County travel to Weld County ( Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, 2018 ) . Therefore, the daily VMT of oil and gas production related trucks on the state highway system from Weld County wells would be expected to be well over the estimated 252, 000 truck VMT. Oil and gas production related truck VMT cannot be directly allocated to the county roadway system due to a substantial portion of the oil and gas related truck VMT being carried by state system roadways such as IH -25 , US 85, IH - 76, and Highway 392 . Therefore, the oil and gas VMT on state facilities needs to be separated from the estimated total Weld County oil and gas truck VMT. The CDOT FOCUS base year model provided light truck and heavy truck VMT distributions by facility type . It is reasonable to assume that the distribution of heavy truck VMT by facility type forecasted by the CDOT FOCUS model represents the oil and gas truck VMT distribution patterns by facility type in Weld County . Table 20 presents the heavy truck VMT distribution from the CDOT FOCUS Model . `' Values rounded to nearest hundreds. Values rounded to nearest thousands. ficTGALLIANCE _ __ TRANSPORTATION GR __. .. = WELD COUNTY TRAFFIC FORECAST Table 20: Heavy Truck VMT by Facility Type with Weld County from CDOT Model Base Year I Facility Type West District East District iFreeway .. 48 . 7% 33 . 1% !Major Regional Arterial 18 . 3% 38 . 8% rincipal Arterial 12 . 8% 7 . 5 % Minor Arterial Paved 11 .4% 7 . 3% it Collector Paved 3 . 3% 6 . 2 % L. wr Ramp 0 . 9% 0 . 3% vp- Zonal Connector ( Local ) 4. 4% 6 . 8% S. Table 21 shows the assumed oil and gas truck VMT assigned to the HUTF layer, derived from Table 20, after excluding VMT associated with state facilities . Note that the subdivision facilities ( 13 and 14 ) are mostly in residential settings and are unlikely to carry large amounts of oil and gas truck trips ; therefore, it was assumed that the percentage of oil and gas truck VMT on minor arterial and collector gravel roadways equals the percentage of heavy truck VMT reported on zonal connectors .

The estimated oil and gas production related truck volume was calculated by dividing the allocated oil and gas truck VMT by the link length and further adjusted for flow consistency. Estimated oil and gas truck flows are presented in Figure 17 . Only links that have a volume source ( based on the FOCUS model or traffic count data ) are included . Figure 17 shows that WCR 49, WCR 13 , and WCR55 are the top oil and gas production related truck routes . It is worth reiterating that the oil and gas truck volumes were estimated based on limited data , and it is recommended that the volumes be used with caution . Supplemental collection of vehicle classification counts and , where possible, surveys of commercial vehicles to determine the industry served would be useful to future studies evaluating oil and gas related truck volumes . Additionally, the percentage of oil and gas truck volume to total truck volume percentages will vary as oil and gas well activity and local non - oil -and -gas truck activities change .

Dominated by reed canarygrass and drains into a lateral ditch/ drainage of the East Neres Canal . TOTAL 0 . 424 acre Wetlands 5A, 6A, and 17A Seven areas demonstrating wetland characteristics associated with the East Neres Canal Northern Crossing were identified on 2012/2015 aerial imagery and on US Geological Survey ( USGS ) 7 . 5 " Quadrangle Topographical maps . These wetland areas were grouped by geographical location into three distinct wetlands , Wetland 5A , Wetland 6A , and Wetland 17A . Project staff had limited access to these wetlands as the road right- of-way ( ROW) fence line is close to the road (within approximately 10 feet) . Samples were taken and wetland boundaries were delineated within this limited extent . Wetland boundaries were then extended outside of the ROW based on aerial photography and site photographs . Photos were taken of Wetlands 5A , 6A , and 17A from the road ROW (Appendix 1 ) . Wetlands 5A , 6A , and 17A are categorized as being palustrine emergent wetlands that are temporarily or seasonally flooded ( PEMA/PEMC) ( Cowardin et . al . 1979) . Wetlands 5A , 6A , and 17A are associated with the East Neres Canal Northern Crossing . Vegetation : Wetland 5A The dominant vegetation in this wetland consists of exclusively reed canarygrass ( 95 percent) . Based on the percent cover for this species (Appendix 2) , the Dominance Test and Prevalence Index were passed ; therefore , these wetlands consist of hydrophytic vegetation . The upland vegetation surrounding the wetland consists of downy brome , smooth brome , and sweetclover . Hydrology: Wetland 5A The primary hydrologic indicator observed was the presence of surface water . Secondary indicators include drainage patterns , geomorphic position , and passing the FAC- Neutral test . Therefore , wetland hydrology was present at Wetland 5A .

ULLEVIG FELSBURG IHOLT & ULLEVIG connecting and enhancing cummunities October 2 , 2015 RE : Historic Resources Analysis and Determinations of Eligibility Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project East Neres Canal North Crossing Project Area To whom it may concern , This letter and the following attachments constitute our analysis of historic resources within the East Neres Canal North Crossing project area . These planned improvements are part of the larger Weld County Road 49 Design Build project, which proposes to widen approximately 20 miles of Weld County Road 49 (WCR 49) from two to four lanes , between Interstate- 76 ( I - 76) and Highway 34 ( Hwy 34 ) in Weld County , Colorado . Methodology The following resources were used to determine whether any existing or potential historic resources were located in proximity to the project area : • Searched the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation ' s (OAHP) online Compass database to determine whether any previously recorded National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP) -eligible or listed properties were located in the project area . • Searched Weld County Assessor' s Office records to determine if any structures in the project area met the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible for the NRHP . • Reviewed site forms and survey reports from past studies near the project area . • Reviewed historic topographical maps to identify linear resources and structures . • Conducted field visits to verify the existing condition of resources . Project Area Land use within the East Neres Canal North Crossing project area consists primarily of small- scale agricultural enterprises . Proposed improvements consist of the reconstruction of the culvert at WCR 49/ East Neres Canal crossing , the culvert at WCR 50/East Neres Canal crossing and intersection improvements at the WCR 49/WCR 50 intersection . The project area includes a 50-foot buffer surrounding the limits of construction for proposed improvements at East Neres Canal . Private properties located within , or transected by the project area that contain buildings meeting the minimum age requirement of 50 years for historic eligibility have been evaluated as part of this analysis . Please refer to the enclosed project area map for more information . Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project October 2, 2015 Eligibility Determinations No previously -recorded resources were identified within the East Neres Canal North Crossing project area as a result of the OAHP Compass database search Further review of the Weld County Assessor's Office database indicated two (2) properties with age -eligible buildings located at 23547 WCR 50 and 23738 WCR 50 These two private residences are transected by the project area Due to a lack of access into these parcels, no survey work was completed for any of the age -eligible buildings Un-surveyed resources that meet or exceed 50 years of age should be treated as eligible to the NRHP until access has been granted and further evaluated is undertaken Newly Recorded Resource Segments of the East Neres Canal have been recorded in other locations south of the project area Therefore, the segment that runs through the north crossing project area was recorded due to its susceptibility to potential impacts from the proposed project 5WL 2755 10 — East Neres Canal Segment The mainline of the Neres Canal was one of several irrigation canals originating at Barr Lake as part of the Standley Lake Irrigation System, constructed by FRICO between 1909 and 1910 East Neres Canal was part of a ditch extension project that provided irrigation to land between Hudson and Kersey, Colorado, and was constructed between 1920 and 1950 SHPO concurred with the overall eligibility of the East Neres Canal in 2011 The recorded segment retains sufficient integrity of location, design, feeling and association to support the eligibility of the overall resource The resource evaluation can be found in the enclosed attachments No other potential resources were identified within the East Neres Canal North Crossing project area Existing reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts convey the East Neres Canal beneath WCR 50 and WCR 49, respectively No records were found for the installation date of these culverts However, these culverts represent common structure types that do not meet any of the eligibility requirements set forth by the NRHP for historic significance If you have any questions or require additional information in order to complete your review, please contact me at the number below Sincerely, Jacob Lloyd Environmental Planner Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig 303 721 1440 Enclosures Project Area Map New Resource Evaluation (5WL 2755 10) MDF/LCF forms, Sketch Map, Quad Map, Photolog r n til i 1:: . . - , A • O. 4.',I 4 . 1 , illn its1 .r `I it 1 - Q I . . 4 l it - •, 1 1 .•.

Resource Number 5WL 2755 10 Temporary Resource Number 31 Statement of significance The first recorded segment of East Neres Canal in Weld County, 5WL2755 1, was determined not eligible for the NRHP on December 1, 1998 This was due to claims that the canal was basically reconstructed after World War II, which was considered beyond its period of significance Two other recordings in proximity to the original segment found the overall East Neres Canal resource eligible to the NRHP, but recommended that those two recorded segments (5WL2755 2 & 5WL2755 3) were also non -supporting due to post World War II reconstruction These three segments are all located south of the recorded segment On August 31, 2011, another segment of the East Neres Canal was evaluated and determined supporting to the overall eligibility of the resource This segment, recorded as 5WL2755 8, is located north of the recorded segment and shares very similar characteristics to this recorded segment While no records were found for the original adjudication of the recorded segment, it was likely constructed as part of an extension post-dating the original 1918 completion date for the canal, but pre -dating 1950 As a result, the recorded segment, 5WL2755 10, supports the overall eligibility of the resource 32 Statement of historic integrity related to significance This segment of the East Neres Canal appears retain its historic character and retains an earthen channel and few modifications throughout the recorded segment As a result, the ditch retains integrity of location, design, feeling and association

1,200 feet east of the WCR 49/WCR 50 intersection The segment ends at the original, pre -1950 terminus of the ditch, which is located at a small holding pond located approximately 750 feet southwest of the WCR49/WCR50 intersection on private property The recorded segment measures approximately 2,700 feet in length and 30 feet wide The ditch is a single, unlined open earth channel with a trapezoidal section that is approximately 12 feet wide at the water surface and over 3 feet deep A small concrete ditch connects to the main canal at a headgate on the southwest corner of the WCR 49/WCR 50 intersection The small concrete ditch runs west, parallel to the southside of WCR 50 for approximately 540 feet before turning north and crossing through a metal pipe culvert under WCR 50 From there, the water is released into a natural, wooded drainage swale that runs northwest approximately 2,000 feet before entering the Gilmore Ditch 7 Original use - Irrigation Canal 8 Current use Irrigation Canal 9 Modifications (describe and include dates) The East Neres Canal was likely constructed as part of an extension post-dating the original 1918 completion date for the canal, but pre -dating 1950 in which it appears on topographical maps of the area Segments of the East Neres Canal south of the recorded segment have been reconstructed, though it is unlikely this segment has been modified significantly since there is no evidence that proves the ditch was changed or relocated Culvert structures located at major roadways including WCR 49 and WCR 50 have been upgraded and replaced over time An additional small concrete -lined ditch distributes water from the East Neres Canal to a drainage area west of WCR 49 that leads to Gilmore ditch This small ditch does not appear on the 1950 topographical maps of the area which suggests it was added later The ditch has also likely been dredged and improved over time since it is active and regularly maintained, though the ditch still retains its original earthen -bank characteristics 10 Extent of Entire Resource The overall length of East Neres Canal is approximately 15 miles in length and begins at a diversion from Beebe Seep Canal in Section 10 of Township 2N, Range 65W From there it runs generally northeast before ending in Section 1 of Township 4N, Range 65W The recorded segment constitutes the original (pre - 1950) terminus of East Neres Canal before it was extended to connect to Gilmore Ditch in the 1970s 11 Associated Artifacts None 12 Associated Features or Resources A small concrete ditch connects to the main canal at a headgate on the southwest corner of the WCR 49/WCR 50 intersection This small ditch takes overflow water from the west end of the East Neres Canal and releases it into a natural drainage area connecting to Gilmore Ditch This small ditch does not appear on the 1950 topographical maps of the area which suggests it was added later or at least upgraded to its current concrete liner post -1950 The concrete ditch and concrete headgate both appear to have been constructed at the same time and are considered non-contributing features of the overall ditch since the East Neres Canal consists of earthen channel construction and due to not appearing on early topographical maps Nine (9) other segments of the East Neres Canal have been recorded Segment 5WL2755 8 is the closest segment to 5WL2755 10, and is located one-half mile southeast of the recorded segment III Research Information 13 Architect/Engineer Farmer's Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) Source(s) of

Source(s) of Information Colorado Division of Water Resources 15 Date of Construction / Date Range 1920-1950 Source(s) of Information Colorado Division of Water Resources 16 Historical / Archival Data The Neres Canal was one of several irrigation canals originating at Barr Lake as part of the Standley Lake Irrigation System, constructed by FRICO between 1909 and 1910 The Neres originally had a capacity of 300 cubic feet per second and irrigated 30,000 acres Neres Canal represents a shift from relatively small irrigation canals that originally sourced water from streams, to large more substantial canals feeding large storage reservoirs Construction of the original alignment was completed by the spring of 1918, and the ditch came on line two years later It is unclear exactly what year the East Neres Canal was extended from the mainline of the Neres While the East Neres Canal does not appear on original line drawings for the Neres Canal design, the East Neres Canal does show on 1950 topographical maps of the area As a result, the ditch was constructed sometime between 1920 when the mainline Neres Canal was put to use, and 1950 Topographical maps of the area from the 1970s show the ditch extends southwest toward Gilmore Ditch 17 Cultural Affiliation and Justification N/A IV Management Recommendations 18 Eligibility of Entire Resource ® Eligible El Not Eligible El Need

ENVIRONMENT/SITE CONDITION 20 General Description (should include both on site as well as geographical setting with aspect, landforms, vegetation, soils, depositional environment, water, ground visibility) The Neres Canal is located on hills that overlook the South Platte River southeast of Kersey This segment of the canal is situated in an area that is largely under cultivation An earthen road provides access to the north side of the canal from CR 49 There has been some roadway disturbance in the center of the segment, where CR 49 crosses the canal (which flows through a culvert) Much of the vegetation includes weedy forbs and grasses The depositional setting is eolian sediment (Quaternary) Ground visibility is very low due to thick riparian vegetation along the banks of the canal

III NATURAL ENVIRONMENT/SITE CONDITION 20 General Description (should include both on site as well as geographical setting with aspect, landforms, vegetation, soils, depositional environment, water, ground visibility) The Neres Canal is located on hills that overlook the South Platte River southeast of Kersey This segment of the canal is situated in an area that is largely under cultivation An earthen road provides access to the north side of the canal from CR 49 There has been some roadway disturbance in the center of the segment, where CR 49 crosses the canal (which flows through a culvert) Much of the vegetation includes weedy forbs and grasses The depositional setting is eolian sediment (Quaternary) Ground visibility is very low due to thick riparian vegetation along the banks of the canal 21 Soil depth (cm) and description Renohill clay loam 0-3% slopes (A horizon = 0-9 in [clay loam]) (Page 2 of 6) Resource Number 5WL 4848 9 22 Condition a Architectural/Structural ❑

Is there subsurface potential'? The lack of cultural remains probably reflects the small size of the area surveyed (I e , small sample size) and heavy disturbance to most of the survey area caused by road construction and the canal Subsurface potential also is limited for the same reasons 3 OAHP 1420 Revised 9/98 6th P .

Wetland associated with a fringe of vegetation along the backs of East Neres Canal South Crossing . TOTAL 0 . 060 acre Wetland 3A Five areas demonstrating wetland characteristics associated with East Neres Canal South Crossing were identified on 2012/2015 aerial imagery and on US Geological Survey ( USGS) 7 . 5 " Quadrangle Topographical maps . These wetland areas contained similar wetland characteristics and therefore , only one in- point sample was taken for both sides of the roadway . Project staff had limited access to these wetlands as the road right- of-way ( ROW) fence line is close to the road (within approximately 10 feet) . Samples were taken and wetland boundaries were delineated within this limited extent . Wetland boundaries were then extended outside of the ROW based on aerial photography and site photographs . Photos were taken of Wetland 3A from the road ROW (Appendix 1 ) . Wetland 3A is categorized as being a palustrine emergent wetland that is temporarily or seasonally flooded ( PEMA/PEMC) ( Cowardin et . al . 1979 ) . Wetland 3A is associated with the Neres Canal . Vegetation : Wetland 3A The dominant vegetation in this wetland consists of reed canarygrass ( 50 percent) and common spikerush (40 percent) . Based on the percent cover for each of these species (Appendix 2) , the Dominance Test and Prevalence Index were passed ; therefore , these wetlands consist of hydrophytic vegetation . The upland vegetation surrounding the wetlands consist of downy brome , western wheatgrass , sweetclover , and prickly lettuce . Hydrology: Wetland 3A The primary hydrologic indicators observed were the presence of surface water and saturation . Secondary indicators include drainage patterns , geomorphic position , and passing the FAC- Neutral Test . Therefore , wetland hydrology was present at Wetland 3A .

These planned improvements are part of the larger Weld County Road 49 Design Build project , which proposes to widen approximately 20 miles of Weld County Road 49 (WCR 49) from two to four lanes , between Interstate-76 ( I -76) and Highway 34 ( Hwy 34) in Weld County , Colorado . Methodology The following resources were used to determine whether any existing or potential historic resources were located in proximity to the proposed project area : • Searched the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation ' s (OAHP) online Compass database to determine whether any previously recorded National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP) -eligible or listed properties were located in the project area . • Searched Weld County Assessor' s Office records to determine if any structures in the project area met the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible for the NRHP . • Reviewed site forms and survey reports from past studies near the project area . • Reviewed historic topographical maps to identify linear resources and structures . • Conducted field visits to verify the existing condition of resources . Project Area Land use along the east side of WCR 49 at the East Neres Canal South Crossing project area consists of agricultural use and oil and gas development, while land use on the west side of the highway consists of large lot residential properties . Proposed improvements consist of the removal and reconstruction of culvert WEL049 . 0-034 . 0A at East Neres Canal as well as minor re-grading and installation of rip- rap along the canal to prevent soil erosion . Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project October 2, 2015 The project area includes a 50 -foot buffer surrounding the limits of construction for proposed improvements at East Neres Canal Private properties located within, or transected by the project area that contain buildings meeting the minimum age requirement of 50 years for historic eligibility have been evaluated as part of this analysis Please refer to the enclosed project area map for more information Eligibility Determinations No previously -recorded resources were identified within the East Neres Canal South Crossing project area as a result of the OAHP Compass database search Further review of the Weld County Assessor's Office database indicated one (1) property with an age -eligible outbuilding located at 16299 WCR 49, which is transected by the project area Due to a lack of access into this parcel, no survey work was completed for the age -eligible building Un-surveyed resources that meet or exceed 50 years of age should be treated as eligible to the NRHP until access has been granted and further evaluated is undertaken Segments of the East Neres Canal have been recorded in other locations both north and south of the project area Therefore, the segment that runs through the south crossing project area was recorded due to its susceptibility to potential impacts from the proposed project 5WL 2755 9 — East Neres Canal Segment The mainline of the Neres Canal was one of several irrigation canals originating at Barr Lake as part of the Standley Lake Irrigation System, constructed by FRICO between 1909 and 1910 East Neres Canal was part of a ditch extension project that provided irrigation to land between Hudson and Kersey, Colorado, and was constructed between 1920 and 1950 SHPO concurred with the overall eligibility of the East Neres Canal in 2011 Segment 5WL 2755 9 retains sufficient integrity of location, design, feeling and association to support the eligibility of the overall resource The resource evaluation can be found in the enclosed attachments Culvert WEL049 0-034 OA is located where WCR 49 crosses East Neres Canal and consists of a corrugated steel arch structure The culvert was installed in 2001, which does not meet the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible to the NRHP Furthermore, this culvert does not represent a structure of exceptional significance necessary to qualify it under NRHP Criteria G for resources less than 50 years of age No other potential resources were identified within the proposed East Neres Canal South Crossing project area If you have any questions or require additional information in order to complete your review, please contact me at the number below Sincerely, Jacob Lloyd Environmental Planner Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig 303 721 1440 Enclosures Project Area Map New Resource Evaluation (5WL 2755 9) MDF/LCF forms, Sketch Map, Quad Map, Photolog '_ i , . \. \, , \ \ ill _ , ,, A , , , , , pi., „ : rt.

General Description (should include both on site as well as geographical setting with aspect, landforms, vegetation, soils, depositional environment, water, ground visibility) The recorded segment begins at the boundary between Sections 12 and 13 of T3N, R65W and runs northeast through an area of large -parcel private residences before crossing under WCR 49 From there the ditch continues northeast where it zigzags across pasture land before ending at the crossing beneath WCR 36 The recorded segment is approximately 8,120 feet long and retains an earthen channel throughout The area surrounding the ditch is almost entirely gently rolling open pasture land, very little of it containing irrigated cropland Gas and oil development is very common throughout this part of Weld County where pasture land is leased for energy exploration Vegetation in the recorded segment consists primarily of short grass prairie grasses while areas adjacent to private residences also consist of turf

of significance ❑ National ❑ State ® Local 31 Statement of significance The first recorded segment of East Neres Canal in Weld County, 5WL2755 1, was determined not eligible for the NRHP on December 1, 1998 This was due to claims that the canal was basically reconstructed after World War II, which was considered beyond its period of significance Two other recordings in proximity to the original segment found the overall East Neres Canal resource eligible to the NRHP, but recommended that those two recorded segments (5WL2755 2 & 5WL2755 3) were also non -supporting due to post World War II reconstruction These three segments are all located south of the recorded segment On August 31, 2011, another segment of the East Neres Canal was evaluated and determined supporting to the overall eligibility of the resource This segment, recorded as 5WL2755 8, is located north of the recorded segment and shares very similar characteristics to this recorded segment While no records were found for the original adjudication of the recorded segment, it was likely constructed as part of an extension post-dating the original 1918 completion date for the canal, but pre -dating 1950 As a result, the recorded segment, 5WL2755 9, supports the overall eligibility of the resource 32 Statement of historic integrity related to significance This segment of the East Neres Canal appears retain its historic character and retains an earthen channel and few modifications throughout the recorded segment As a result, the ditch retains integrity of location, design, feeling and association to support the eligibility of the overall resource 33 National Register Eligibility Field Assessment Linear Segment Evaluation (if applicable) 34 Status in an Existing National Register District 35 State

selectively evaluated for the purpose of Section 106 compliance related to the Weld County Road 49 Design Build project Since large ditch systems typically have lateral channels, features and structures associated with them, they are likely to contain enough elements for district status However, further research is needed to make this determination 38 Cultural Landscape Potential ❑ Yes ®

-parcel private residences before crossing under WCR 49 From there the ditch continues northeast where it zigzags across pasture land before ending at the crossing beneath WCR 36 The recorded segment is approximately 8,120 feet long and 30 feet wide at top of berm, and retains an earthen channel throughout No structures or features are associated with this segment The ditch is a single, unlined open earth channel with a trapezoidal section that is approximately 12 feet wide at the water surface and over 3 feet deep 7 Original use Irrigation Canal 8 Current use Irrigation Canal 9 Modifications (describe and include dates) The ditch was likely constructed as part of an extension post-dating the original 1918 completion date for the canal, but pre -dating 1950 Segments of the East Neres Canal south of the recorded segment have been reconstructed, though it is unlikely this segment has been modified significantly since there is no evidence that proves the ditch was changed or relocated Structures located at major roadways including WCR 49 have been replaced and upgraded including culverts and headwalls The ditch has also likely been dredged and improved over time since it is active and regularly maintained, though the ditch still retains its original earthen -bank characteristics 10 Extent of Entire Resource The overall length of East Neres Canal is approximately 15 miles in length and begins at a diversion from Beebe Seep Canal in Section 10 of Township 2N, Range 65W From there it runs generally northeast before ending in Section 1 of Township 4N, Range 65W The recorded segment is located approximately in the middle of the entire length of the overall resource 11 Associated Artifacts None 12 Associated Features or Resources 9 other segments of the East Neres

Archival Data The Neres Canal was one of several irrigation canals originating at Barr Lake as part of the Standley Lake Irrigation System, constructed by FRICO between 1909 and 1910 The Neres originally had a capacity of 300 cubic feet per second and irrigated 30,000 acres Neres Canal represents a shift from relatively small irrigation canals that originally sourced water from streams, to large more substantial canals feeding large storage reservoirs Construction of the original alignment was completed by the spring of 1918, and the ditch came on line two years later It is unclear exactly what year the East Neres Canal was extended from the mainline of the Neres While the East Neres Canal does not appear on original line drawings for the Neres Canal design, the East Neres Canal does show on 1950 topographical maps of the area As a result, the ditch was constructed sometime between 1920 when the mainline Neres Canal was put to use, and 1950 17 Cultural Affiliation and

Is there subsurface potential'? The lack of cultural remains probably reflects the small size of the area surveyed (i e , small sample size) and heavy disturbance to most of the survey area caused by road construction and the canal Subsurface potential also is limited for the same reasons 3 OAHP 1420 Revised 9/98 6th P .

visibility) Weld County Road 49 extends over most of the distance between the Wyoming state line and the southern Weld County line (where it adjoins Adams County) with the exception of northernmost 9 miles and the southernmost mile, there is also a two-mile hiatus at the South Platte River (near the confluence with the Cache la Poudre River) Weld CR 49 contains is a total of 56 miles of roadway With the exception of several miles near the river, the portion of CR 49 that lies north of the river remains unpaved The southernmost portion of the road (south of 1-76) also remains unpaved All remaining portions of CR 49 have been paved since 1947 Weld CR 49 traverses an agricultural landscape primarily devoted to crop production, but some livestock grazing also is found along the roadway There also is substantial oil and gas development in the area Vegetation ranges from cultivated fields to some woodland and riparian communities along the river bottoms and some isolated trees along the many canals and ditches that the roadway crosses Most of the terrain traversed by the roadway is relatively flat, but the southern portion of the road crosses a group of low hills that lie south and east of the South Platte River (Page 2 of 6) Management Data Form Resource Number 5WL 7915 2 Temporary Resource Number N/A 21 Soil depth (cm) and description Vona loamy sand, 0-3% loamy sand

36 at its north end and the intersection with WCR 34 at its south end (i e , total length of 1 mile) It crosses East Neres Canal, which flows beneath the roadway in a steel culvert, at a point 3/4s of a mile south of the WCR 36 intersection The segment traverses low hills that overlook the South Platte River (to the west) The entire segment is paved with asphalt (and has been for many decades) It is a two-lane roadway, approximately 24 feet in width with margins of roughly 6 feet on each side The area through which the segment passes is primarily devoted to agriculture, including both livestock grazing and crop production The margins of the roadway are vegetated with grasses and weedy forbs Some trees, including elm, are located along this segment, primarily in the vicinity of the canal 7 Original use roadway 8 Current use roadway 9 Modifications (describe and include dates) By 1927, this segment of Weld CR 49 was complete, but apparently unpaved In 1937, this portion of CR 49 was converted to a state highway (Hwy 37), but not paved until 1947 10 Extent of Entire Resource Weld County Road 49 is almost continuous from the Wyoming border to the southern Weld County line a

Weld County / State of Colorado Source(s) of Information 15 Date of Construction / Date Range 1915-1927 (this segment) Source(s) of Information Greeley Museums map collection 16 Historical / Archival Data The history of the county roads in Weld County begins with the Resolution of 1889, which established nghts-of-way along the section lines (30 feet on either side of the section line) throughout the county By 1915, unpaved roads had been created along many section lines in Weld County, including 14 5 miles of CR 49 north of the South Platte River, and 4 miles between Kersey and the Adams County line (i e , south of the river) The portion of the road that lies within this segment had not yet been created By 1927, much of the roadway south of the river had been completed, including the

Wetland Delineation Report p COLORADO Table 1 Summary of Wetlands Delineated in the Project Area Wetland ID Existing Area Remarks (acres) Wetland 8A 0 . 049 acre Two wetland areas along the banks of the Gilmore Ditch , east of WCR 49 . A ditch fringe wetland dominated by reed canarygrass . Three wetland areas along the banks of the Gilmore Ditch , west of Wetland 8B 0 . 063 acre WCR 49 . The vegetation to the west includes a higher percentage of sandbar willow . TOTAL 0 . 112 acre Wetlands SA and 8B Five areas demonstrating wetland characteristics associated with the Gilmore Ditch Project Area were identified on 2012/2015 aerial imagery and on US Geological Survey ( USGS ) 7 . 5" Quadrangle Topographical maps . These wetland areas were grouped by geographical location into two distinct wetlands , 8A and 8B . Both of these wetlands contained similar wetland characteristics and will be described together in the sections below . Project staff had limited access to these wetlands as the road right-of-way ( ROW) fence line is close to the road (within approximately 10 feet) . Samples were taken and wetland boundaries were delineated within this limited extent . Wetland boundaries were then extended outside of the ROW based on aerial photography and site photographs . Photos were taken of Wetlands 8A and 8B from the road ROW (Appendix 1 ) . Wetlands 8A and 8B are categorized as being palustrine emergent wetlands that are temporarily or seasonally flooded ( PEMA/PEMC) ( Cowardin et . al . 1979 ) . Wetlands 8A and 8B are associated with Gilmore Ditch . Vegetation: Wetlands 8A and 88 The dominant vegetation in these two wetlands consisted of reed canarygrass ( 80 percent) , sandbar willow (20 percent) , and peachleaf willow (20 percent) . Based on the percent cover for each of these species (Appendix 2) , the Dominance Test and Prevalence Index were passed ; therefore , these wetlands consist of hydrophytic vegetation . The upland vegetation surrounding the wetlands consists of downy brome , smooth brome , and common sunflower. Hydrology: Wetlands 8A and 8B The primary hydrologic indicators observed were the presence of surface water, sediment deposits , and an algal mat or crust . Secondary indicators include drainage patterns , geomorphic position , and passing the FAC- Neutral Test . Therefore , wetland hydrology was present at Wetlands 8A and 8B .

These planned improvements are part of the larger Weld County Road 49 Design Build project , which proposes to widen approximately 20 miles of Weld County Road 49 (WCR 49) from two to four lanes , between Interstate- 76 ( I -76) and Highway 34 ( Hwy 34) in Weld County , Colorado . Methodology The following resources were used to determine whether any existing or potential historic resources were located in proximity to the project area : • Searched the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation ' s (OAHP) online Compass database to determine whether any previously recorded National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP) -eligible or listed properties were located in the project area . • Searched Weld County Assessor' s Office records to determine if any structures in the project area met the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible for the NRHP . • Reviewed site forms and survey reports from past studies near the project area . • Reviewed historic topographical maps to identify linear resources and structures . • Conducted field visits to verify the existing condition of resources . Project Area Land use within the project area consists of both large agricultural pursuits and residential property . Proposed improvements at Gilmore Ditch consist of the reconstruction of Bridge WEL049 . 0-052 . 0A at the WCR 49/Gilmore Ditch crossing , as well as minor re-grading and installation of rip- rap along the ditch to prevent soil erosion . Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project October 2, 2015 The project area includes a 50 -foot buffer surrounding the limits of construction for proposed improvements at Gilmore Ditch Private properties located within, or transected by the project area that contain buildings meeting the minimum age requirement of 50 years for historic eligibility have been evaluated as part of this analysis Please refer to the enclosed project area map for more information Eligibility Determinations Previously Recorded Resources One (1) previously recorded resource was identified within the project area 5WL 5218 1 Gilmore Ditch Segment (supporting — officially eligible) This segment of the Gilmore Ditch ends 400 feet north of the WCR49/52 intersection at bridge WEL049 0-052 OA, which is located within the project area The Gilmore Ditch as an overall resource has been presumed eligible to the NRHP based on its period of construction (1910) and the early the development of the irrigation system on the eastern plains of Colorado (Criterion A) Segment 5WL 5218 1 was recommended supporting to the overall eligibility when it was originally recorded on 2/4/13 Other recorded segments of the Gilmore Ditch outside of the project area were also recommended as supporting of the site's eligibility based on good physical integrity Newly Recorded Resources One (1) new resource was identified and evaluated within the project area 5WL 5218 10 Gilmore Ditch Segment This ditch segment begins at bridge WEL049 0-052 OA (WCR 49 crossing) and runs east for 1 3 miles to WCR 51 The recorded segment retains integrity of location, design, feeling and association to support the eligibility of the overall resource Segment 5WL 5218 10 has been evaluated utilizing the OAHP's survey forms found in the enclosed attachments No other potential resources were identified within the Gilmore Ditch Crossing project area Bridge WEL049 0-052 OA is located where the Gilmore Ditch crosses WCR 49 and consists of a simple steel girder bridge built in 1976, which does not meet the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible to the NRHP Furthermore, the bridge does not represent a structure of exceptional significance necessary to qualify it under NRHP Criteria Consideration G for structures less than 50 years of age If you have any questions or require additional information in order to complete your review, please contact me at the number below Sincerely, Jacob Lloyd Environmental Planner Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig 303 721 1440 Enclosures Project Area Map New Resource Evaluation (5WL 5218 10) MDF/LCF forms, Sketch Map, Quad Map, Photolog 7-- ta •___ __ •� a '..•ll ,_- - ' , . r S ' •r ,jam s . r. a .

Is there subsurface potential'? The lack of cultural remains probably reflects the small size of the area surveyed (i e , small sample size) and heavy disturbance to most of the survey area caused by road/bndge construction and the ditch Subsurface potential also is limited for the same reasons 3 OAHP 1420 Revised 9/98 6th P .

(should include both on site as well as geographical setting with aspect, landforms, vegetation, soils, depositional environment, water, ground visibility) Weld County Road 49 extends over most of the distance between the Wyoming state line and the southern Weld County line (where it adjoins Adams County) with the exception of northernmost 9 miles and the southernmost mile, there is also a two-mile hiatus at the South Platte River (near the confluence with the Cache la Poudre River) Weld CR 49 contains is a total of 56 miles of roadway With the exception of several miles near the river, the portion of CR 49 that lies north of the river remains unpaved The southernmost portion of the road (south of 1-76) also remains unpaved All remaining portions of CR 49 have been paved since 1947 Weld CR 49 traverses an agricultural landscape primarily devoted to crop production, but some livestock grazing also is found along the roadway There also is substantial oil and gas development in the area Vegetation ranges from cultivated fields to some woodland and riparian communities along the river bottoms and some isolated trees along the many canals and ditches that the roadway crosses Most of the terrain traversed by the roadway is relatively flat, but the southern portion of the road crosses a group of low hills that lie south and east of the South Platte River (Page 2 of 6) Management

The northernmost third of the segment lies on a broad terrace on the south side of the South Platte River It crosses two channels of the Lower latham Ditch along this segment Immediately south of the second crossing and an abandoned Union Pacific RR line, it ascends several hundred feet into hills that overlook the river both to the north and west Roughly two miles south of US Hwy 34 and about halfway up the slope, WCR 49 crosses Gilmore Ditch (bridge) The entire segment is paved with asphalt (and has been for many decades) It is a two-lane roadway, approximately 24 feet in width with margins of roughly 6 feet on each side The area through which the segment passes is primarily devoted to agriculture, cheifly crop production, although several oil & gas facilities are located along the roadway The margins of the roadway are vegetated with grasses and weedy forbs Some trees, including elm, are located along this segment, primarily in the vicinity of the ditches 7 Original use

5 miles of CR 49 north of the South Platte River, and 4 miles between Kersey and the Adams County line (i e , south of the river) The portion of the road that lies within this segment had not yet been created By 1927, much of the roadway south of the river had been completed, including the three miles of this segment near Kersey In 1937, CR 49 between US 6 (northeast of Hudson) and US 34 became a state highway (Hwy 37) that extended north to SH 392 Ten years later (1947) Hwy 37 was paved, including this segment of CR 49 In 1954, Hwy 37 was shortened, and CR 49 south of US 34 reverted to the

INTRODUCTION The Weld County Department of Public Works (the County) is completing the design to widen the Weld County Road (WCR) 49 crossing over the Lower Latham Ditch This project is necessary to accommodate roadway widening on WCR 49, but should be considered a separate project from the roadway widening project The widening of the crossing will include a complete replacement of the CBC with a new span bridge, construction of a new detention pond southeast of the crossing, construction of a corrugated metal pipe (CMP) connected to the detention pond, and the placement of rip rap for stabilization purposes upstream and downstream from the crossing This project will provide the opportunity for additional road lanes in each direction Keith Hidalgo, a Certified Ecologist, along with Jake Lloyd and Todd Lebov, all Environmental Scientists with Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU), performed a wetland delineation of the wetland boundaries in the Lower Latham Ditch Project Area (Project Area) on June 2, 2015 and again on June 10, 2015 This document presents the results of the delineation of wetlands in the Project Area PROJECT LOCATION & DESCRIPTION The Project Area is located to the northeast of the Town of Hudson, east of the City of Greeley and west of the Town of Kersey, in Weld County, to the north of Interstate Highway 76 (1-76) (see Figure 1) The approximate center of the Project is located in Weld County in the SE % of Section 6, T5N, R65W and SW 1/4 of Section 19, T5N, R64W (Lat 40 378° and Long -104 602°) The Project elements include ► Construction of a new span bridge where WCR 49 crosses over the Lower Latham Ditch ► Construction of a detention pond ► Construction of a CMP connecting the detention pond to nearby ditch, and ► Placement of nprap to protect the aquatic resources/stabilize stream banks Page 1 iial :fi;..\\H Weld County Road 49 (WCR 49) Lower Latham Ditch Crossing Widening Project• wimp Wetland Delineation Report COLORADO Figure 1 Project

A larger wetland with more diverse wetland plants ( more than just reed canarygrass) were found along the banks of this wetland . Two wetland areas along the banks of the Lower Latham Ditch , east of Wetland 9A 0 . 057 acre WCR 49 . A larger wetland with more diverse wetland plants were found along the banks of this wetland . TOTAL 0 . 131 acre Wetland 9A Four areas demonstrating wetland characteristics associated with the Lower Latham Ditch Project Area were identified on 2012/2015 aerial imagery and on US Geological Survey ( USGS) 7 . 5" Quadrangle Topographical maps . These four areas were grouped into one distinct wetland , Wetland 9A . This wetland area contains similar wetland characteristics on both sides of the road so all four areas will be described together in the sections below. Project staff had limited access to this wetland , samples were taken and wetland boundaries were delineated within this extent . Photos were taken of Wetland 9A from the road ROW (Appendix 1 ) . Wetland 9A is categorized as being a palustrine emergent wetland that is temporarily or seasonally flooded ( PEMA/PEMC) ( Cowardin et . al . 1979) . Wetland 9A is associated with the Lower Latham Ditch . Vegetation: Wetland 9A The dominant vegetation in this wetland consists of a sedge species (50 percent) and reed canarygrass (40 percent) . Based on the percent cover for each of these species (Appendix 2) , the Dominance Test and Prevalence Index were passed ; therefore , this wetland consists of hydrophytic vegetation . The upland vegetation surrounding the wetlands consists of common saltgrass , smooth brome , western wheatgrass , common dandelion , and prickly lettuce . Hydrology: Wetland 9A The primary hydrologic indicators observed were the presence of surface water and drift deposits . Secondary indicators include drainage patterns , geomorphic position , and passing the FAC- Neutral Test . Therefore , wetland hydrology was present at Wetland 9A . Soils: Wetland 9A A Web Soil Survey was downloaded and showed that the soil type present is " Nunn Clay Loam , 0 to 1 percent slopes" ( NRCS 2015) . The soil type at SP-9A has a hydric soil rating of 20 , which indicates that this location has hydric soils present . As identified below, the soils at this location did contain hydric soil indicators . A soil pit was dug to investigate the soil profiles in these wetlands . Soils in Wetland 9A had hydric soil indicators for a Depleted Matrix within the soil matrix . Soils in Wetland 9A are located in a high terrace next to the Lower Latham Ditch . Hydric soils were present in Wetland 9A .

These planned improvements are part of the larger Weld County Road 49 Design Build project , which proposes to widen approximately 20 miles of Weld County Road 49 (WCR 49) from two to four lanes , between Interstate- 76 ( I - 76) and Highway 34 ( Hwy 34) in Weld County , Colorado . Methodology The following resources were used to determine whether any existing or potential historic resources were located in proximity to the proposed project area : • Searched the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation ' s (OAHP) online Compass database to determine whether any previously recorded National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP) -eligible or listed properties were located in the project area . • Searched Weld County Assessor' s Office records to determine if any structures in the project area met the minimum age requirement of 50 years to be eligible for the NRHP . • Reviewed site forms and survey reports from past studies near the project area . • Reviewed historic topographical maps to identify linear resources and structures . • Conducted field visits to verify the existing condition of resources . Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project October 2, 2015 Project Area Land use within the project area consists primarily of agricultural use, with a few isolated private residences along WCR 49 Proposed improvements consist of the reconstruction of Bridge WEL049 0-054 OA at the WCR 49/Lower Latham Ditch crossing, as well as minor re -grading and installation of rip -rap along the ditch to prevent soil erosion The project area includes a 50 -foot buffer surrounding the limits of construction for proposed improvements at Lower Latham Ditch Private properties located within, or transected by the project area that contain buildings meeting the minimum age requirement of 50 years for historic eligibility have been evaluated as part of this analysis Please refer to the enclosed project area map for more information Eligibility Determinations Previously Recorded Resources One (1) previously recorded resource was identified within the project area 5WL 2948 3 Lower Latham Ditch Segment (supporting — officially eligible) This segment of the Lower Latham Ditch begins approximately 1,200 feet northwest of the project area and ends where the ditch crosses beneath WCR 49 The Lower Latham Ditch is eligible to the NRHP under Criterion A for playing a major role in the development of agriculture in Weld County during the 19th century Segment 5WL 2948 3 was determined supporting to the overall eligibility when it was originally recorded in 2007 Other recorded segments of the Lower Latham Ditch outside of the project area were also recommended as supporting of the site's eligibility During our field surveys, we did not observe any changes to the ditch that would affect the eligibility of segment 5WL 2948 3 Newly Recorded Resources Two (2) new resources were identified and evaluated within the project area 5WL 2948 20 Lower Latham Ditch Segment This segment of the Lower Latham Ditch begins at the WCR 49 crossing and ends where the ditch crosses beneath the former Kersey Branch Segment of the Union Pacific Railroad, 300 feet to the southeast This segment still maintains an earthen cross section reminiscent of its historic character and retains integrity of location, design, feeling and association to support the eligibility of the overall resource 5WL 7801 — Bridge WEL049 0-054 OA Built in 1960 and rehabilitated in 1992, this bridge structure measures roughly 30 feet long where it crosses the Lower Latham Ditch, and is 32 feet wide The structure consists of a single -span steel girder bridge with asphalt roadway surface over corrugated metal plank decking The bridge has W -beam steel guard rails that are welded to the outside of the girder substructure This bridge resource does not meet any of the significance criteria outlined by the NRHP including associations with events and/or persons of the past of noteworthy significance, nor does the bridge embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, method of construction, or engineering technique of historic significance Both of the new resources were evaluated utilizing the OAHP's survey forms found in the enclosed attachments Weld County Road 49 Design Build Project October 2, 2015 Further review of the Weld County Assessor's Office database indicated two (2) properties with age -eligible buildings located at 26331 WCR 49 and 26468 WCR 49 These two private residences are transected by the project area Due to a lack of access into these parcels, no survey work was completed for any of the age -eligible buildings Un-surveyed resources that meet or exceed 50 years of age should be treated as eligible to the NRHP until access has been granted and further evaluated is undertaken No other potential resources were identified within the Lower Latham Ditch Crossing project area If you have any questions or require additional information in order to complete your review, please contact me at the number below Sincerely, Jacob Lloyd Environmental Planner Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig 303 721 1440 Enclosures Project Area Map New Resource Evaluations (5WL 2948 20) MDF/LCF forms, Sketch Map, Quad Map, Photolog (5WL 7801) Architectural Survey form, Sketch Map, Quad Map, Photolog r I I : I ' ,I } I t I - + i- II I • I I . 4 Nit - I I 1 1 i I ? - i Tom. • .�`. y I iI PROPERTY ADDRESS : ?Ru?E ;' l l ��JJ1'_ � J .

Is there subsurface potential'? The lack of cultural remains probably reflects the small size of the area surveyed (i e , small sample size) and heavy disturbance to most of the survey area caused by road/bndge construction and the ditch Subsurface potential also is limited for the same reasons 3 OAHP 1420 Revised 9/98 6th P .

depositional environment, water, ground visibility) Weld County Road 49 extends over most of the distance between the Wyoming state line and the southern Weld County line (where it adjoins Adams County) with the exception of northernmost 9 miles and the southernmost mile, there is also a two-mile hiatus at the South Platte River (near the confluence with the Cache la Poudre River) Weld CR 49 contains is a total of 56 miles of roadway With the exception of several miles near the river, the portion of CR 49 that lies north of the river remains unpaved The southernmost portion of the road (south of 1-76) also remains unpaved All remaining portions of CR 49 have been paved since 1947 Weld CR 49 traverses an agricultural landscape primarily devoted to crop production, but some livestock grazing also is found along the roadway There also is substantial oil and gas development in the area Vegetation ranges from cultivated fields to some woodland and riparian communities along the river bottoms and some isolated trees along the many canals and ditches that the roadway crosses Most of the terrain traversed by the roadway is relatively flat, but the southern portion of the road crosses a group of low hills that lie south and east of the South Platte River K (Page 2 of 6) Management Data Form Resource Number 5WL 7915 1 Temporary Resource Number N/A 21 Soil depth (cm) and description

extends south for three miles, several hundred feet south of a culvert through which flows Neres Canal The northernmost third of the segment lies on a broad terrace on the south side of the South Platte River It crosses two channels of the Lower latham Ditch along this segment Immediately south of the second crossing and an abandoned Union Pacific RR line, it ascends several hundred feet into hills that overlook the river both to the north and west Roughly two miles south of US Hwy 34 and about halfway up the slope, WCR 49 crosses Gilmore Ditch (bridge) The entire segment is paved with asphalt (and has been for many decades) It is a two-lane roadway, approximately 24 feet in width with margins of roughly 6 feet on each side The area through which the segment passes is primarily devoted to agriculture, cheifly crop production, although several oil & gas facilities are located along the roadway The margins of the roadway are vegetated with grasses and weedy forbs Some trees, including elm, are located along this segment, primarily in the vicinity of the ditches 7 Original use roadway 8 Current use roadway 9 Modifications (describe and include dates) By 1927, this segment of Weld CR 49 was complete, but apparently unpaved In 1937, this portion of CR 49 was converted to a state highway (Hwy 37), but not paved until 1947 10 Extent of Entire Resource Weld County Road 49

The history of the county roads in Weld County begins with the Resolution of 1889, which established rights -of -way along the section lines (30 feet on either side of the section line) throughout the county By 1915, unpaved roads had been created along many section lines in Weld County, including 14 5 miles of CR 49 north of the South Platte River, and 4 miles between Kersey and the Adams County line (i e , south of the river) The portion of the road that lies within this segment had not yet been created By 1927, much of the roadway south of the river had been completed, including the three miles of this segment near Kersey In 1937, CR 49 between US 6 (northeast of Hudson) and US 34 became a state highway (Hwy 37) that extended north to SH 392 Ten years later (1947) Hwy 37 was paved, including this segment of CR 49 In 1954, Hwy 37 was shortened, and CR 49 south of US 34 reverted to the county 17 Cultural Affiliation and Justification Euro-American IV Management Recommendations 18

environment, water, ground visibility) Weld County Road 49 extends over most of the distance between the Wyoming state line and the southern Weld County line (where it adjoins Adams County) with the exception of northernmost 9 miles and the southernmost mile, there is also a two-mile hiatus at the South Platte River (near the confluence with the Cache la Poudre River) Weld CR 49 contains is a total of 56 miles of roadway With the exception of several miles near the river, the portion of CR 49 that lies north of the river remains unpaved The southernmost portion of the road (south of 1-76) also remains unpaved All remaining portions of CR 49 have been paved since 1947 Weld CR 49 traverses an agricultural landscape primarily devoted to crop production, but some livestock grazing also is found along the roadway There also is substantial oil and gas development in the area Vegetation ranges from cultivated fields to some woodland and riparian communities along the river bottoms and some isolated trees along the many canals and ditches that the roadway crosses Most of the terrain traversed by the roadway is relatively flat, but the southern portion of the road crosses a group of low hills that lie south and east of the South Platte River (Page 2 of 6) Management Data Form Resource Number 5WL 7915 1 Temporary Resource Number N/A 21 Soil depth (cm) and description Valent sand,

Platte River It crosses two channels of the Lower latham Ditch along this segment Immediately south of the second crossing and an abandoned Union Pacific RR line, it ascends several hundred feet into hills that overlook the river both to the north and west Roughly two miles south of US Hwy 34 and about halfway up the slope, WCR 49 crosses Gilmore Ditch (bridge) The entire segment is paved with asphalt (and has been for many decades) It is a two-lane roadway, approximately 24 feet in width with margins of roughly 6 feet on each side The area through which the segment passes is primarily devoted to agriculture, cheifly crop production, although several oil & gas facilities are located along the roadway The margins of the roadway are vegetated with grasses and weedy forbs Some trees, including elm, are located along this segment, primarily in the vicinity of the ditches 7 Original use roadway 8 Current use roadway 9 Modifications (describe and include dates) By 1927, this segment of Weld CR 49 was complete, but apparently unpaved In 1937, this portion of CR 49 was converted to a state highway (Hwy 37), but not paved until 1947 10 Extent of Entire Resource Weld County Road 49

The history of the county roads in Weld County begins with the Resolution of 1889, which established nghts-of-way along the section lines (30 feet on either side of the section line) throughout the county By 1915, unpaved roads had been created along many section lines in Weld County, including 14 5 miles of CR 49 north of the South Platte River, and 4 miles between Kersey and the Adams County line (i e , south of the river) The portion of the road that lies within this segment had not yet been created By 1927, much of the roadway south of the river had been completed, including the three miles of this segment near Kersey In 1937, CR 49 between US 6 (northeast of Hudson) and US 34 became a state highway (Hwy 37) that extended north to SH 392 Ten years later (1947) Hwy 37 was paved, including this segment of CR 49 In 1954, Hwy 37 was shortened, and CR 49 south of US 34 reverted to the county 17 Cultural Affiliation and Justification Euro-American IV Management Recommendations 18

authorization to remain valid In addition, the following Special Condition will be adhered to Special Condition 1 The Permittee proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for the permanent loss of wetlands through the purchase of credits at an appropriate wetland mitigation bank Because the project is within the primary service area of multiple, available wetland mitigation banks, the Permittee shall purchase 0 15 mitigation credits (a ratio of 1 1) The Corps of Engineers must approve the bank chosen for credit purchase Please notify Mr Aaron Eilers of this office at (303) 979-4120 prior to the purchase of the mitigation credits so that the bank of your choice can be approved Written proof of the mitigation credit purchase shall be provided to the Denver Regulatory Office prior to impacts occumng to wetlands authorized by this permit Upon receipt of such proof, all liabilities for the success, inonitonng, and long-term management of the mitigation bank wetlands covered by this authorization will become the responsibility of the mitigation bank sponsor The Permittee will have satisfied all wetland mitigation requirements for this permit, unless additional on -site mitigation is or becomes a condition of this authorization Although an Individual Department of the Army permit will not be required for this work, this does not eliminate the requirement that any other applicable federal, state, tribal or local permits be obtained as required Please be advised that deviations from the original plans and specifications of this project could require additional authorization from this office The applicant is responsible for all work accomplished in accordance with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit .

Which entities provide emergency services along routes? CSP, Weld County Sheriffs' Office, Platte Valley Fire, Lasalle Fire, Hudson Fire, Southeast Weld Fire, Banner Health Ambulance Services and UC Health (EMS) 2. Which of these provide response to hazardous matenal incidents? Weld County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is the Designated Emergency Response Authority (DERA) for unincorporated Weld County and would evaluate the size of the incident and respond accordingly Weld County Fire Agencies have a mutual aid agreement which include Hazmat response Weld County Public Works is not trained to respond to hazmat incidents Typically, CSP Hazmat responds to hazmat spills on this corridor and other Weld County roadways There are three hazmat teams within Weld County, which include Greeley Fire, Mountain View Fire, and Poudre Fire Authority Depending on availability, there are other options for scene management if CSP is unavailable to respond A hazmat team may not be required for all spills All fire agencies having jurisdiction along CR 49 have personnel trained in Hazmat Operations level at a minimum and several have qualified Hazmat Technicians staffed Weld County has several agencies that are trained m the management of hazmat incidents and can maintain scene preservation until a qualified remediation company can arrive on scene Response times may be extended due to the location of the route 3. Which have hazardous material response teams? Weld County does not have a hazardous material response team We rely on the assistance from CSP and local fire districts with hazmat response for spills on roadways However, as mentioned above we have three certified hazmat teams available in the county (Greeley Fire, Mountain View Fire, which is also part of the Boulder Hazmat Authonty and Poudre Fire) 4 What type of training have they received? The three hazmat teams are certified and maintain their certification for Hazmat Response Frederick -Firestone Fire has a DECON Team and conducts quarterly training with personnel around the County Weld County OEM supports training for Fire Agencies and incorporated training for Hazmat awareness, OPS and Tech in the annual Training and Exercise plan for the County 5. What type of hazardous material equipment is available from each entity? CSP — Hazardous Material Response Team has equipment. Greeley Fire, Mountain View Fire and Poudre Fire all have designated Hazmat Response engines with Hazmat Team members. Frederick- Firestone Fire also has support personnel and equipment for DECO operations. Weld County Public Works has heavy equipment and access to dirt and sand that can be used to assist large hazmat incidents that require damming, diking, and diverting operations.

On January 28, 2016, Weld County filed an amended application (Amended Application) providing the missing Exhibit A and changing the proceeding title to better represent the action that Weld County is seeking at the subject crossing Before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado Decision No C16-0206 PROCEEDING NO 16A -0040R 4 The Commission gave notice of this Application (Notice) to all interested parties, including adjacent property owners pursuant to § 40-6-108(2), C R S The Notice was mailed on February 1, 2016 5 On February 19, 2016, UPRR filed an Entry of Appearance and Notice of Intervention UPRR does not oppose or contest the Application 6 The Commission has reviewed the record in this matter and deems that the Application is complete within the meaning of § 40-6-109 5, C R S 7 The Commission has jurisdiction in this matter under §§ 40-4-106(2)(a) and (3)(a), C R S 8 Now being fully advised in the matter, we grant the Application B Findings of Fact 9 The Commission gave notice to all interested parties, including the adjacent property owners No intervention was received opposing the Application 10 Weld County requests authority to exempt the crossing of CR 49 Weld County proposes installing R15 -3P "Exempt" signs with the crossbucks on the existing flashing light assembly at the crossing and to install W10-1aP "Exempt" signs on the advance warning signs that will be posted for 65 mile per hour traffic for the crossing 11 As grounds, Weld County states that it is currently improving a 20 -mile portion of CR 49, which includes the subject crossing The current traffic volumes using the crossing are 6,500 vehicles per day in 2014 traveling at 65 miles per hour There are currently no trains using the crossing A large number of vehicles are required to stop at crossings per federal and state law Because there are currently no trains using the crossing, Weld County requests that the Commission exempt vehicles required to stop at all railroad crossings from this requirement 2 Before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado Decision No C16-0206 PROCEEDING NO 16A -0040R Exempting the crossing will decrease traffic congestion and travel times, and will increase safety at the crossing by reducing the possibilities of rear -end collisions at the crossing 12 Weld County has plans to widen the section of CR 49 in the future to help with roadway capacity and to decrease traffic congestion and travel times in the future and will submit a separate application at that time 13 A review of the statutes indicates that § 42-4-707, C R S , requires all school buses and hazardous materials vehicles to stop at all railroad crossings before crossing the tracks of the railroad Section 42-4-707(4)(d), C R S , exempts these vehicles from stopping at railroad crossings if the crossing carries the "Exempt" legend Given that there are currently no trains that use the crossing and the high number of high speed vehicles that use the crossing, we believe it is appropriate to mark this crossing and the advance warning signs with the "Exempt" legend to relieve school buses and hazardous materials vehicles from the requirement to stop at this crossing for the reasons stated by Weld County Should train traffic resume at this crossing in the future, we will require Weld County and UPRR to make the appropriate filing with the Commission to remove the exempt status and the "Exempt" signs from this crossing 14 Weld County will pay for the cost of furnishing and installing the "Exempt" signs at the crossing and on the advance warning signs 15 Weld County proposes to install the "Exempt" signs upon approval of the Amended Application by the Commission Weld County will be required to inform the Commission in writing that the crossing work is complete and operational within ten days of completion The Commission will expect this letter by March 31, 2016 However, the Commission does understand this letter may be provided earlier or later than this date depending on changes or delays to the construction schedule 3 Before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado Decision No C16-0206 PROCEEDING NO 16A -0040R 16 We will require UPRR to update the crossing inventory form for this crossing to show the exempt status and to file a copy of the updated crossing inventory form in this proceeding The Commission will expect this information to be filed with the completion of the crossing work by March 31, 2016 C. Conclusions 17 The Commission has jurisdiction in this matter under §§ 40-4-106(2)(a) and (3)(a), C R S 18 No intervenor that filed a petition to intervene or other pleading contests or opposes the Application 19 Because the Application is unopposed, the Commission will determine this matter upon the record, without a formal hearing under § 40-6-109(5), C R S, and Rule 1403, Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, 4 Code of Colorado Regulations 723-1 20 Based on the Findings of Fact, we find good cause exists and that the requirements of public safety are met by granting the Amended Application consistent with the above discussion II.

In speaking with the different agencies, we have become concerned with including 392 in the petition . Weld County has put a lot of work into updating WCR 49 with some intent that it would be safer to allow for the transport of Crude and Petroleum truck loads . The original ask was for WCR 49 from 1 -76 to Hwy 34 and we know that this stretch could easily be approved for the routing . When we meet in Arvada last spring, we had some discussion on including WCR 49 north of Hwy 34 to 392 and then connect it to the west with Hwy 85 . We know that connectivity is important so there was some additional thought into taking 392 to the east and connect with 14 . We would like to hold off on adding WCR 49 north of Hwy 34 to 392 . If we include 392 into the current petition there will need to be a significant amount of work that will need to be done to include this stretch of road , we are worried that the entire petition could be jeopardized if CSP or CDOT has any safety issues with 392 . We would like your support on completing the original task of petitioning the Colorado State Patrol for WCR 49 from 1 -76 to Hwy 35 for the Crude and petroleum exemption . We are anxious to continue to move forward as the hazardous materials review process is substantive and all encompassing. Best Regards, D. art Cra Garter to. 3aile y Gregory D . Fulton Grier W.

Good afternoon , Elizabeth , Please find attached a letter in response to the draft petition you provided with respect to Weld County Road 49 . As we had a chance to discuss, there are a few items that must still be addressed within a final petition in order for us to consider it a " complete petition " and move forward with the statutory requirements for outreach and to formally evaluate the petition . At this stage , the items that still need to be addressed do not constitute a finding on our part of the petition being " insufficient for consideration . " Rather, it was a review of the initial draft and this letter is simply intended to clarify those items which will need to be included in the final draft submitted to CSP for consideration . As always, please feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions you may have or if there is anything I may clarify . For your awareness, I will be out of the office next week ( September 8 - 11 ) and will largely be out of cell range during most of that time .

The purpose of this letter is to help identify these items which must be included in the final petition in order for CSP find the application to be complete upon submission and to facilitate moving forward with formal consideration of the petition .
