GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas
Support and Service (Storage and Staging Yard for Oil and Gas Equipment along with an office, and field
measurement and calibration building) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 4 and is west of and adjacent to CR 19.
Parcel number 146928400004.
Access is from CR 4 & CR 19.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and it appears that
both accesses are existing and meet spacing requirements.
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 19 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires 140 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.
County Road 4 is a gravel 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.
Per Chapter 12, Article 4, Section 12-4-30.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/departments/publicworks/permits/.
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 19 counted 671 vpd with 25% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 61 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 10
single unit trucks per day and 40 multiple unit trucks per day. 50 percent of the traffic will be going to the
north, 20 percent of the traffic will be going to the south, and 30 percent of the traffic will be going to the
east.
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 double cattle guards and 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft. of asphalt.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works may require an Improvements Agreement for one or all the following reasons:
• Off -Site Public Improvements
• Road Maintenance Agreement
• Construction Maintenance Agreement
• Access Improvements Agreement
An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required off -site improvements per Chapter 12,
Article 5, Section 12-5-60. Collateral is required to ensure the improvements are completed, and
maintained.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldqov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR

haul route(s), outline when off -site improvements will be triggered, and include a maintenance agreement
for the haul routes. Possible mitigations included in the road maintenance agreement may include but are
not limited to: dust control, specified haul routes, damage repairs, and future improvement triggers.
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.

The application proposes storage of both waste and chemical items. However,
waste items appear to be mainly recyclable products. The application is
proposing a wash bay to wash equipment brought back from the field. Washing
liquid is contained in a watertight containment and removed for disposal.
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit
as development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal
Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.) shall be stored and
removed for final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and
groundwater contamination.

Part of the SE Sec. 28, T1N, R67W, 6th P.M.
Lot B of Amended Recorded Exemption AMRE-1595
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Ogle,
According to the submitted information, the Applicant is seeking Site Specific Development Plan and Use by
Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas Support and Service in A (Agricultural) Zone District. The site is currently
permitted under USR-589 for a natural gas facility. The Applicant is proposing to continue to use the site as a
storage yard as well as for office space, outside storage of oilfield equipment, staging area, use of warehouse and
field measurement testing and calibration building. According to the referral information the proposed water
source for the property is an existing well operated under permit no. 18764-F. This property is also subject to
case no. RECX18-0083 for which we commented on by our letter dated June 4, 2018.
This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S.
Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning
directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal
comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of
the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided
herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or
physical availability of water.
Well permit no. 18674-F was issued on August 1, 1974 for industrial use. The well is currently limited to an annual
average withdraw of 5 acre-feet of groundwater from the Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer at a maximum pumping rate of
75 gallons per minute. This office has no objection to the proposal, provided the terms and conditions of well
permit no. 18674-F are complied with.
The application materials indicate that the Applicant requests to utilize a retention pond rather than a detention
pond for storm water management. The applicant should be aware that, unless the structure can meet the
requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as defined in section 37-92-602(8), Colorado
Revised Statutes, the structure may be subject to administration by this office. The applicant should review
DWR's Administrative Statement Regarding the Management of Storm Water Detention Facilities and Post-Wildland
Fire Facilities in Colorado to ensure that the notification, construction and operation of the proposed structure
meets statutory and administrative requirements. The applicant is encouraged to use Colorado Stormwater
Detention and Infiltration Facility Notification Portal, located at
https://maperture.digitaldataservices.com/gvh/?viewer=cswdif, to meet the notification requirements.
If you, or the applicant, have any questions please contact loana Comaniciu at 303-866-3581 x8246.
