Re: Rescission of Temporary Waiver; Affidavits to Demonstrate Compliance with C.R.S. §
34-60-106(2.5)(a)
Director Robbins:
This letter is to rescind effective August 5, 2019, the temporary waiver requested by Weld
County Attorney Bruce Barker in his emails to you on May 17, 2019, for oil and gas locations in
Weld County. The temporary waiver allows DSU applications, Form 2's and Form 2A's to
proceed with COGCC process without the requirement of first obtaining a WOGLA permit from
Weld County. As you are aware, Weld County's new 1041 regulations regarding oil and gas
development become effective August 5th. Our intent is to have the waiver be made permanent
for DSU applications and for Form 2A's so they may be processed by the COGCC without first
obtaining a 1041 WOGLA Permit from Weld County. However, we wish for the COGCC to
require such prerequisite prior to approving Form 2's.
It is the understanding of the Board of County Commissioners that the COGCC is currently
allowing Weld County operators to sign an affidavit demonstrating their compliance with
C.R.S. § 34-60-106(2.5)(a), for DSU applications. The Board concurs in such process.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss, please contact Mr. Barker at (970) 400-4200.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WELD COUNTY
