Good Morning Shannon,
Thank you for taking my call this morning. Please reply and let me know if these USRs should have the same address. If
they have the same "office address" that is ok — I just wanted to make sure that what we put on both the Resolution and
the Improvements Agreement for each case are in fact correct since this is what the BOCC will sign and will be recorded
for the Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement. I understand they have the same owner but wanted to be sure.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR)
QUESTIONNAIRE
Prepared for Guttersen Ranches, LLC
Planning Questions:
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
Guttersen Ranches, LLC is requesting a Use By Special Review (USR) for a pipe laydown
yard with a portable office trailer to support oil and gas operations in Weld County. The
subject property is located in the Northwest Quarter of Section 20, Township 3 North, Range
64 West of the 6th P.M., being Lot B of Recorded Exemption RE -2744. The site will contain
two (2) improved gravel areas for storage of pipes, equipment, and other materials used by
oil and gas operations. The storage areas will be approximately 3.7 -acres and 3.8 -acres in
size.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County code,
chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Sec. 22-2-20. — Agriculture goals and policies.
A. Goal 1. 4. A. Policy 1.4. Recognize the changing dynamics of agricultural land uses,
their locations and the size and scope of operations when developing land use
regulations.
G. A. Goal 7. County land use regulations should protect the individual property owner's
rights to request a land use change.
G. Goal 7. 1. A. Policy 7.1. County land use regulations should support commercial and
industrial uses that are directly related to, or dependent upon, agriculture, to locate within
the agricultural areas, when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, or can be
mitigated, and where adequate services are currently available or reasonably
obtainable.
Sec. 22-6-20. - Economic development Goals and Policies.
E. ECON. Goal 5. Recognize and promote specific places and resources in the County
that can uniquely support economic development.
Sec. 22-5-160. - Use of resources Goals and Policies
A. UR. Goal 1. Right to Extract Mineral Resources Statement
Weld County has some of the most abundant mineral resources, including, but not
limited to, sand and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coat Under title 34 of the Colorado
Revised Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the state's commercial
ENGINEERING, PLANNING, CONSULTING & REAL ESTATE

970.535.9318 /office • 970.535.98541 fax • wwwww.a gp ros.com
Page 2 of 7
mineral deposits are essential to the state's economy; (b) the populous counties of the
state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be extracted
according to a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits and cause the
least practicable disruption of the ecology and quality of life of the citizens of the
populous counties of the state.
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and person moving
into these areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this development.
Often times, mineral resource sues are fixed to their geographical and geophysical
locations. Moreover, these resources are protected property rights and mineral owners
should be afforded the opportunity to extract the mineral resource.
This proposal is for an oil and gas support service located in close proximity to existing oil
and gasoperations requiring laydown yard services. Oil and gas operations are abundant in
Weld County and support services are needed in close proximity to such operations. The
County recognizes the importance of its abundant mineral resources and their importance to
the state's economy. The County Code recognizes specific places and resources in the
County can uniquely support economic development. Due to the site's proximity to oil and
gas operations, this site is well suited to provide storage opportunities for the oil and gas
industry.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County code,
chapter 23 (zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
The subject property is located in the Agricultural (A) Zone District. As listed in Section23-3-
40, oil and gas support and service activities are allowed in the A Zone as a Use by Special
Review. This section also permits as a Use by Special Review "any► use permitted as a Use
by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial zone
districts."
Sec. 23-3-10. Intent — The A (Agricultural) Zone District is established to maintain and
promote agriculture as an essential feature of the County. The A (Agricultural) Zone District
is intended to provide areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to
agriculture and agricultural production without the interference of other, incompatible land
uses.
The proposed use is not incompatible with agricultural activities and no agricultural land will
be taken out of production as a result of this UR.
4. Describe what type of land uses surround the site. Explain how the proposed use is
consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses.
►gricultural land uses that surround the subject property include MU R13-0015 for a feedlot,
USR-608 for a turkey hatchery, irrigated cropland, and rangeland. USR12-0052 for a non -
1041 major facility, MUSR12-0003 for an oil and gas support facility, and USR-1166 for a
pipeline are also near the site. The proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses
as it will support the oil and gas development in the area while preserving agriculturally
productive land.
5. What are the hours and days of operation? (e.g. Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.)
Page 3 of 7

Introduction
1. Location
The proposed site is located in Lot B of RE -1462 being part of Section 28, T4 T, R04W,
6th PM. This site is located east of Highway 85 and southeast of the Town of LaSalle,
CO. The properties surrounding the site are undeveloped, agricultural farm land. The
property is bordered on the south side by Weld County Road R) 40. The nearest road
to the east is WCR 55, to the north is WCR 42 and to the west is WCR 53. A vicinity
map is shown in Appendix A.
2. Property Description
The applicant is proposing the development of the 33.15 -acre property. The proposed site
is currently a non -urbanizing, agricultural property with an existing residence and
outbuildings. The applicant is proposing a pipeline la do n yard and outdoor storage
with an office trailer to be used for oil and gas support service.
There are four types of soil: Ban rd sandy loam (0% to 3% slopes), Haverson loam (0%
to 1% slopes), Vaient sand (3% to 9% slopes), and Vona loamy sand (0% to 3% slopes).
The majority of the soil is excessively drained, hydrologic soil group A (see USDA-
NRCS soil report in Appendix B).
The Box Elder Creek runs along the southern edge of the property, where stormwater
from the site currently discharges.
Historic drainage
1. Overall Basin Description
The site has a relatively flat topography with slopes ranging from approximately 0 to 9
percent predominately towards the southeastern corner of the property. A topographic
map was downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) web site and is
shown in Appendix C. Historically, there have been no previous drainage issues with the
property.
A Federal Emergency Management Administration (FERIA) map of the project area is
included in Appendix 11 The property is located on panel 08123C1775E 1775E and is currently
located within a 100 -year floodplain., zone A. The proposed storage area will be a
minimum of 12 inches above the base flood elevation of 4765 feet (see FHDP-143
Exhibit A in Appendix E).

2. Drainage Patterns Through Property
The site is located in rural Weld County and is surrounded by undeveloped, agricultural
land. A Master Plan for the site area is not currently available. The site is mostly east
sloping and has a generally flat topo, raphy. Historically, the basin drainage flows
towards the southeast into the Box Elder Creek.
3. Off -site Drainage Flow Patterns
Offsite flows from the north are intercepted by WCR 32. Offsite flows from the south and
the east are intercepted by the Box Elder Creek. Offsite flows from the west continue to
flow west, away from the site. Therefore, an increase in runoff is not expected.
Conclusions
This drainage narrative is consistent with the Weld County Engineering and Construction
Guidelines. An increased risk of damage from storm runoff is not expected since the site
has an unobstructed flow path and is immediately adjacent to a FEMA floodplain
channel. We recommend that the site is exempt from stormwater detention per Article
XII, Storm Drainage Criteria, Section 23-12-30 Drainage Policy.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres. usda.govlwpsf
portalinrcsimainisoilsihealth0 and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.govllocatorlapp?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.goviwpsiportalinrcsidetailisoilsicontactusi?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. C ayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including t h e
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLFtA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components andfor miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. if intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soii conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, reads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into Iandforms or
laridform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, g to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Use by Special Review (USR) Application
The subject property is located at 25350 Weld County Road (WCR) 32 in the Northwest Quarter
of Section 20, Township 3 North, Range 64 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The
proposed pipe laydown yard will allow up to three (3) semi -tractor trailers, five (5) 5 -ton trucks,
and two (2) employee vehicles to visit the site each day. The semi -trucks and 5 -ton trucks will
bring pipes and equipment to the site to be stored and will also deliver pipes and equipment
from the site to oil and gas operations in the area. Truck drivers will remain on -site for less than
2 hours at a time. Up to two (2) full-time employees are proposed to remain on site during
business hours.
Employee parking will occur during the primary hours of operation from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.,
Monday through Friday. Occasional operations outside of the primary hours may be required
due to oil and gas industry service needs.
Improved gravel surfaces are proposed for the laydown yard and parking area. Parking for four
(4) employee vehicles is proposed. As the parking area is gravel, striping and specific parking
spaces are not specified. This facility is not open to the public.
The existing access to this property is located on WCR 32 approximately 6,950 -feet east of
WCR 49. WCR 32 is a local gravel road and WCR 49 is a paved arterial. Trucks will exit the site
on WCR 32 west to WCR 49 for north -south travel. It is expected that 50% of traffic will come
from the north and 50% will come from the south on WCR 53. Travel routes will depend on the
location of the air and gas projects serviced by the site.
Typical vehicles accessing the site include employee and owner vehicles, semi -trucks, and 5 -
ton trucks. The following numbers are expected for this facility:
Semi -tractor trailers: 1-3 trips/day
5 -ton trucks: 4-5 trips/day
Employee vehicles: 1-2 trips/day
The highest traffic volumes are expected to be generated during morning hours between 6:00
A.M. and 7:00 A.M. but will depend on the needs of oil and gas projects serviced by the site.
