GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a greater than
12 -inch high pressure natural gas pipeline approximately two and one-half (2.5) miles long (24 -inch natural
gas pipeline) originating south of the intersection of County Roads 19 and 10 and terminating at the Dacono
Compressor Facility [USR14-0019] north of the County Road 13 and County Road 10 intersection) in the
A (Agricultural) Zone District
ACCESS
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.
For new accesses and/or change of use of an existing access, the fee and photos are required (photo
looking left and right along roadway from the access point and looking in to and out of the access point).
These photos are used to evaluate the safety of the access location. Access permit instructions and
application can be found at https://www.weldgov.com/departments/public works/permits/. Chapter 6,
Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria offer access design
guidance, which can be accessed at: https://www.weldgov.com/departments/public works/engineering/.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 10 is a gravel 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.
County Road 15 is a gravel 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. Pipelines crossing a county road shall obtain a Right -of -Way Permit and
possibly a Special Transport Permit. Pipelines crossing county roads shall be bored, unless otherwise
approved by Public Works. Right -of -Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at
https://www.weldgov.comidepartmentsipublicworksipermitsi.
Any pipeline crossing an arterial road shall be bored with a minimum crossing depth of 10 feet below the
lowest roadside ditch flowline elevation for all lines, except for oil and gas lines whose minimum depth will
be 15 feet below the lowest roadside ditch flowline elevation.
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.
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.
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 offsite 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.weldiciov.comiLlserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/sprusr.pdf. It will detail the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite 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 and damage repairs.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

Re: U RI8-0008 Kerr McGee Gathering
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a greater than 12 -inch high
pressure natural gas pipeline approximately two and one-half (2.5) miles long (24 -inch
natural gas pipeline) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Permanent water and sewer is not required as this request is a temporary construction
use. Portable toilets and bottled water can be utilized during construction of the
pipeline. If the amount of disturbed area exceeds 25 acres an Air Pollution Emission
Notice (ADEN) is required.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
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
in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater contamination, during
construction.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site, during
construction. This is not meant to include those wastes specifically excluded
from the definition of a solid waste in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.
3. During construction, waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a
manner that controls fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris,
and other potential nuisance conditions. The facility shall operate in accordance
with Chapter 14, Article 1 of the Weld County Code.
