County. County will determine the proportionate share of dust control to be paid by Property Owner. The
amount and extent of dust control measures will be determined by site -specific conditions at the time, as
determined exclusively by County personnel. The County reserves the right to install traffic counters on the
driveway(s) of the Property Owner's facility. The County will have sole responsibility for determination of the
percentage of haul route traffic on all affected roads.
2.0 Obligation to Maintain Current and Future Haul Routes: Property Owner will be financially
responsible for the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or future haul route roads, which

haul route, and all or a significant portion of Property Owner's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the
above -described haul route and instead utilizes other portions of County roads, Property Owner shall cooperate

48 hours of notification by the County for any roadway damage that exposes the driving public to adverse or
unsafe driving conditions. All other repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's
written notice.

Damage. Property Owner shall identify the repair required and shall consult with County on the
extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary versus permanent) within
twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such notice and shall commence such repair within 48 hours
after receipt of such notice. If Property Owner identifies Significant Damage prior to receiving
notice thereof from County, Property Owner may commence repair of such Significant Damage
and shall concurrently notify County of the extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair
(i.e. temporary versus permanent).
2.2 In County's sole discretion, County may undertake the repairs and/or improvements. Property
Owner's payment for its Proportionate Share of the road repairs/improvements will be calculated
as described in this Agreement.
3.0 Proportionate Share of Road Maintenance Responsibilities:
3.1 Property Owner shall pay its Proportionate Share of costs of dust control/abatement, repairs, and
maintenance of any particular Haul Route Road. Property Owner's Proportionate Share shall be
based upon the percentage of traffic on the road that is attributable to Property Owner's facility.
County personnel will determine the percentage based on then current Equivalent Single Axle
Load (ESAL) Counts. Property Owner shall not be responsible for traffic that is not sourced from
the Property Owner's facility.
3.2 The County shall notify Property Owner of County's preliminary determination and assessment
of Property Owner's proportionate share of costs. Prior to County's final determination and
assessment, County shall provide Property Owner with a reasonable opportunity to review,
comment upon and supplement County's data, collection methodology, and determinations. The
County shall review and consider Property Owner's input prior to making a final determination
and assessment. The County shall have sole responsibility for determination of Property Owner's
