the Board sent a letter to Governor Polis explaining the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment's (CDPHE) study. Commissioner Kirkmeyer further stated the study affirmed the oil and gas
energy sites are required to be at least 500 feet from any structure to adhere to health concerns. Steve
McClay, Fort Lupton resident, referenced the City of Thornton's Use by Special Review Permit, USR18-
0130, application to be considered by the Board on July 15, 2020, and expressed his discontentment
with the Board's direction not to place the water pipeline in the right-of-way of County Road (CR) 17.
Chair Freeman acknowledged the impact it poses to landowners to place the pipeline on an agricultural
land easement, but stated conducting road maintenance, or expanding county roads, would prove difficult
and costly if a pipeline is placed in the right-of-way. In response to Mr. McClay, Chair Freeman explained
landowners affected by pipeline easements will be compensated, which Mr. McClay expressed
compensation is not an adequate solution compared to the property value loss resulting from a pipeline
easement. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the County does not currently have a policy or plan in place
with the City of Thornton for the installation of a water pipeline in road right-of-way; thus, the
