COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Development Facilities, Oil and Gas Support and Service, Natural Gas Compressor facility, and
one (1) up to one hundred (100) feet in height secure communications tower; a temporary laydown and
storage yard, and up to eight (8) construction office trailers and sixteen (16) conex for use during the
construction of the facility in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. (DCP Operating Company, LP — Prairie
Compressor Station)
This project is south of CR 50 and is east of and adjacent to CR 59.
Parcel number 105301000023, 10531300039.
Access is from CR 59.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and the proposed use
of the existing permitted access located approximately 1360 feet south of County Road 50 on County Road
59 is acceptable. This access is currently permitted by Bonanza Creek Energy Operating Company under
AP18-00231. The applicant will need to permit this access under their company name.
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 59 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) collector road, which requires 80 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/d epartments/publicworks/perm its/.
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 59 counted 192 vpd with 27% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 65 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that after construction there will be
approximately one (1) passenger vehicle daily roundtrip and two (2) weekly truck round trips.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
The applicant has indicated that the entrance will have double cattle guards installed 100' back from the
road and an entrance having a 60' turning radii.
ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works is requiring Road Maintenance Agreement including, but is not limited to, dust control and
damage repair to specified haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldqov.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.

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:

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

depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.

Part of W 'h SW 1/4 and 5'h NW /, Sec. 1, T4N, R64, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 1
Dear Mr. Ogle,
This referral 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 oil and gas support and service facility, natural gas compressor
facility, and one up to 100 feet in height secure communication tower, a temporary storage of up
to eight construction office trailers and 16 containers for use during the construction of the facility
in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The referral information indicated that bottled water would be
used during construction and after construction completion to provide water to the technician that
will visit the site daily to ensure quality control.
A review of our records shows that a well operating under permit no. 6838 -RR is located on the
property. Well permit no. 6838 -RR was issued on June 2, 1977, for the replacement of an existing
well with permit no. 6838-R, and is operating pursuant to the decree in Division 1 Water Court Case
no.W-265 and the Lower Latham Reservoir Company augmentation plan in approved in Case no.
2003CW047. The well is producing water from the alluvium of the South Platte River and its
tributaries and may withdraw up to 200 acre-feet per year for the irrigation of 80 acres in the S112
of the NW1 /4 of Section 1, Township 4 North, Range 64 West, of the 6th P.M. As permitted the well
cannot be used to serve the oil and gas facility or the natural gas compressor facility on the
property. Prior to using a well for such purposes a well permit allowing such uses must be
obtained.

The applicant should be aware that any storm water detention structure proposed for this specific
development, must meet the requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as
defined in section 37-92-602(8), Colorado Revised Statutes, in order for the structure to be exempt
from 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, attached, 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.
