COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Development Facilities including: Oil and Gas Support and Service Facility(Oil and Gas Laydown
Yard) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District.
This project is south of CR 24 and is east of and adjacent to CR 41.
Parcel number 130709200016.
Access is from CR 41.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and it appears that
access will be on CR 41 via CR 24 section line right-of-way.
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 41 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map(Code
Ordinance 2017-01)as a collector road,which requires 80 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 24 is a section line road. Section line right-of-way does not exist in all sections in Weld County
and should be verified before a decision to utilize it is made. Weld County commonly refers to these
locations as "Non-Maintained Section Line Right-of-Way."The existence of a physical road does not imply
public right-of-way and the road may be located on private property. All right-of-way should be verified and
physical roads located in relationship to the public right-of-way to ensure trespassing does not occur. The
applicant shall verify the existing right-of-way and the documents creating the right-of-way and this
information shall be noted on the site plan or plat. The applicant shall delineate on the site map or plat the
existing right-of-way and physical location of existing or proposed roads. If the right-of-way cannot be
verified it shall be dedicated or an adequate easement between property owners shall be provided.
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 the physical roadway(s) may not
be centered in the right-of-way. This road is NOT 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 41 counted 1889 vpd with 44% trucks. The 85' percentile speed is 59 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be one round trip or
fewer per day.
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.
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

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.
MS4
This site is not in a defined Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)area which is a more urbanized
area with state mandated, higher water quality requirements
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

Case No. USR19-0047
Part of the NW 1/4 Section 9, T2N, R65W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 1
Dear Ms. Aungst:
We have reviewed the above referenced subdivision exemption and the submitted material 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.
According to the submitted information, the applicant is seeking a site specific development plan
and use by special review permit for mineral resource development facilities including oil and gas
support and service facility in the agricultural zone district. The proposed water supply is an
existing well, permit no. 75579-F. Well permit no. 75579-F was issued October 5, 2011 pursuant to
5 37-90-137(4), C.R.S. and findings of the State Engineer for the withdrawal of 7.9 acre-feet per
year from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer for commercial use. This office has no
objection to the use of permit no. 75579-F provided that the terms and conditions of the permit
are met.
A review of the well permits in the area found well permit nos. 106372, 474-WCB, 11584-R-R and
218689 Located on the subject property. Well permit no. 106372 was issued on May 14, 1979
pursuant to § 37-92-602(3)(b)(II), C.R.S. as the only well on a tract of 40 acres described as the NE
'/a of the NW 1/4 of Sec. 9, T 2N, R 65W, 6th P.M. The well is currently permitted for domestic use.
The well, as permitted, cannot be used for any other uses besides those allowed per permit no.
106372.
Well permit no. 474-WCB was issued July 13, 1955 pursuant tog 37-92-602(5), C.R.S. for a well first
put to beneficial use in 1955 for irrigation. According to the records available in our office the well
is not covered under a court approved augmentation plan therefore the well cannot pump until
such time as it is either covered under a court approved augmentation plan or substitute water
supply plan approved by the State Engineer.
Well permit no. 11584-R-R was issued March 14, 1998 pursuant to § 37-92-137(2), C.R.S. and in
accordance Division 1 Water Court Case W-1712 for the replacement of an existing well, permit no.

11584-R (decreed as well no. 2-11584-R). The well is currently permitted for irrigation. According
to the records available in our office the well is not covered under a court approved augmentation
plan therefore the well cannot pump until such time as it is either covered under a court approved
augmentation plan or substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer.
Well permit no. 218689 was issued pursuant tog 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A), C.R.S. as the only well on a
tract of 40 acres described as the SW V4 of the NW 1/a of Sec. 9, T 2N, R 65W, 6th P.M. The well is
currently permitted for fire protection; ordinary household purposes inside not more than three (3)
single family dwellings; the watering of poultry, domestic animals and livestock on a farm or ranch
and the irrigation of not more than one (1) acre of home gardens and Lawns. The well, as
permitted, cannot be used for any other uses besides those allowed per permit no. 218689.
Since wells 106372, 474-WCB, 11584-R-R and 218689 are not permitted for commercial use they
cannot be used to serve the commercial business. If the applicant plans to use wells 106372, 474-
WCB, 11584-R-R or 218689 for mineral resource development facilities, a commercial well permit
allowing such uses must first be obtained. The ability of the property owner to obtain well
permit(s), and the allowed uses of the well(s), will be determined at the time that the well permit
application(s) are submitted to and reviewed by the State Engineers Office.
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 Wenli Dickinson at 303-866-3581 x8206.
