remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and
Gas Support and Service, including an unmanned, pipeline only, Class II Saltwater Disposal Facility and
related infrastructure, up to five (5) construction trailers and five (5) conex containers for temporary use
during construction in the A(Agricultural)Zone District
This project is north of Highway 392 and is west of CR 31.
Parcel number 080516400060.
Access is from CR 31.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and the access does
not appear to meet spacing requirements. Spacing will need to comply with County Code in reference to
access spacing from intersections.
Per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County
maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Public Works prior to laying
out your site plan to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Chapter 12, Article
V, Section 12-5-30. F, when feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public
road. Minimum access spacing widths are shown in Weld County Code Appendix Table 12A-2. Please refer
to Chapter 12 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY
County Road 31 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map(Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate
and label on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way(along with the documents creating the
existing right-of-way) and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be
dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section
23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical
roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to state highways.
Please contact Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office (970-350-2163) to verify the access permit or for any
additional requirements that may be needed. (State Highway 392)
Per Chapter 8, Article 13, Section 8-13-30.B, a Weld County Right-of-Way Use Permit is required for any
project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and/or encroaching upon, any
County rights-of-way or easement. Right-of-Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at
https://www.weldgov.com/d epartments/publicworks/perm its/.
Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate
existing utilities within the County right-of-way.
TRAFFIC
Latest ADT on CR 31 counted 5425 vpd with 15% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 61 mph.
NGL expects 3 roundtrips for passenger vehicles per day. The site will have one semi per month to haul
skim oil from the site.
TRACKING CONTROL
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. For access to paved
roads, tracking control devices can be double cattle guards with 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft of asphalt. For
access to gravel roads, tracking control devices must be either double cattle guards with 100 ft. of road
base, or road base on all driving surfaces. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction
unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of construction activities. Recycled concrete is not
allowed in County right-of-way. Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-way is required just prior
to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to the tracking control
requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.
This site requires approved tracking control during construction.
ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works is requesting a Road Maintenance Agreement including, but not limited to, dust control and
damage repair to specified haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/USR-SPR-Permits°/020Improvements°/020Aqreement°/020Template.pdf.
DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS
This area IS within a Non-Urbanizing Drainage Area: Non-Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require
detention of runoff from the 1-hour, 100-year, storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained
water at the historic runoff rate of the 1-hour, 10-year storm falling on the undeveloped site for NON-
URBANIZING areas.
Detention Pond summarized in a Drainage Report:
The applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage report. A final drainage report and detention pond
design completed by a Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer is required prior to recording the USR
map. The drainage report must include a certification of compliance stamped and signed by the PE. A
Certification of Compliance form can be found on the Public Works Development Review website. General
drainage report checklist is available on the engineering website. More complete checklists are available
upon request.
Historic Flows:
The applicants will be required to maintain the historic drainage flows and run-off amounts that exist from
the property.
GRADING PERMIT
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications
are accepted after the planning process is complete(plan recorded). An Early Release Request Form may
be entertained only after the applicant, Public Works and Planning Department have reviewed the referral
and surrounding property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted
depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.

to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment.
Environmental Health has no objections to the proposal; however, we recommend that
the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as development standards:

Environmental Protection Agency, is permitted. Any changes from the approved
Class II use will require an amendment to this Use by Special Review Permit.
