COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Class
Composting Facility pursuant to the Colorado Regulations pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and
Facilities 6-CCR 1007-2, Section 14 for a Class I compost facility in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 20 and is east of CR 19.
Parcel number 131115000026.
Access is from CR 20.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and the access
appears to meet relevant code requirements. Public Works recommends that the existing access be closed
and reclaimed.
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 20 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate
on the site map or plat the future and 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 20 counted 1045 vpd with 18% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 62 mph.
Site generated traffic:
Semi -tractor trailers: 5 roundtrips per day
Tandem dump trucks: 5 roundtrips per day
Passenger vehicles: 10 roundtrips per day
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of
a tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road
base. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. 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 devices
can be double cattle guards or rip rap (6" washed rock). 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.
• Access onto paved roads requires either a tracking control device and 100 feet of asphalt OR 300
feet 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.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/sprusr.pdf. It will detail the approved 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.
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
Certification of Compliance form can be found on the Public Works Development Review website. General
drainage report checklist is available on the engineering website. More complete checklists are available
upon request.
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
and surrounding property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted
depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.
A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact:
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, 303-692-3575.

1. An onsite wastewater treatment system is required for the proposed facility and
shall be installed according to the Weld County Onsite Wastewater Treatment
System Regulations. The septic system is required to be designed by a
Colorado Registered Professional Engineer according to the Weld County Onsite

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
