Traffic Letter Fullmer Cattle Company KE Job # 2017-043 Prepared For: AG PROfessionals 3050 67th Avenue, Suite 200 Greeley, CO 80634 Prepared By: KELLAR ENGINEE'ING sk Uar ke � r r��iin rir q.cori 970219.1602 phone September 18, 2017 Sean K. Kellar, PE, PTOE This document, together with the concepts and recommendations presented herein, as an instrument of service, is intended only for the specific purpose and client for vorihi h it was prepared Reuse of and Improper reliance or lhes document without written authorization from Kellar Engineering LLC shall be without liability to Kelar Engineering LLC Introduction The purpose of this Traffic Letter is to evaluate the proposed traffic generated by the Fullmer Cattle Company project located at the southwest quadrant of VVCR 40 and WCR 53 in Weld County, Colorado. Proposed Development and Existing Conditions The proposed use is to utilize an existing Butterball Turkey site at the southwest quadrant of WCR 40 and WCR 53 as a cattle facility. The proposed facility will utilize the existing buildings. No additional buildings are proposed. New pens and calf shades will be constructed in relation to the existing buildings. . Vehicular access to the site is proposed from the existing access point to WCR 40 and the existing access point to WCR 53. Weld County Road 40 is an existing east/west unpaved roadway. VVCR 53 is an existing north/south paved collector roadway with one 12' wide northbound thru lane, one 12' wide southbound thru lane, and a posted speed of 55 mph. See Figure 1: Vicinity Map and Figure : Site P la.n.. Trio Generation Site generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known .as trip generation. Rates and equations are applied to the proposed land use to estimate traffic generated by the development during a specific time interval. The acknowledged source for trip generation rates is the Dip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (1TE). The institute of Transportation Engineers` (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition does not provide detailed data related to cattle facilities, Therefore the trip generation is based upon information obtained from the client. The primary traps for the Fullmer Cattle Company site will occur between 6:00 AM and 8:OO AM onday through Sunday. Fullmer Cattle Company Traffic Letter Page 2 The following rounttrips/day are expected for the following vehicle types: Semi -truck and trailer: 2 per day for feed, 4 per week for load out of calves Goose neck trailers: .2 per day calves ii n Service Trucks: 8 per day Pickups and cars: 20-30 per day for full-time employees Using the above information,, a conservative peak hour traffic estimate was generated assuming approximately 24 AM total peak hour trips and 20 PM total peak hour trips. Therefore the Fullmer Cattle Company project is conservatively anticipated to generate approximately daily trips, 24 AM peak hour trips, and 20 total PM peak hour trips, See Table 1: Trip Generation.

Therefore trip generation is based upon information obtained from the client. See Page 2, Trip Generation for more information. Fullmer Cattle Company. Traffic Letter Page 6 Site Generated Traffic and Site Access Evaluation Using the trip generation shown in Table 'I: Trip Generation, the cattle facility's peak hour trips are projected to be 24 AM total (12 in, 12 out) peak hour trips, and 20 PM total (10 in, 10 out) peak hour trips. Using 50% trip distribution to the north and 50% trip distribution to the south, and equal traffic distribution among both site access points, this calculates to approximately 6 AM entering left -turns (vph) and 6 PM entering right -turns (vph) at the site access points during the AM peak hour. Additionahf, the PM peak hour's site generated trips calculates to approximately 5 PM entering left -turns (vph) and 5 PM entering right -turns (vph) at the site access points. Using the COOT State Highway Access Code (SHAC), a left -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 10 vph and a right -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 25 vph. Therefore since the peak hour left -turns at the site access points are projected to be less than 10 vph and peak hour right -turns at the site access points are projected to be less than 25 vph; auxiliary lanes are not anticipated to be required for the proposed project. Conclusions Based upon the review of the trip generation estimates, and the site generated traffc, it can be determined that the proposed use is appropriate from a traffic engineering perspective. The access is appropriate and auxiliary lanes are not anticipated to be required based upon the CDOT SHAG since the proposed use is not a large peak hour t rani c generator.

The proposed facility will raise calves from 0-600 pounds and is considered a Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO). Therefore, the facility is subject to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPH&E) regulations. This preliminary design meets the requirements set forth in those regulations. Project Description The site is located in Weld County approximately 7 miles south of the town of Kersey, CO. The facility is located in the East a of Section 32, Township 4 North, Range 64 West of the ,6th Principle Meridian. The calf facility will have a total capacity of approximately ,000 head. The site, which is approximately 288 acres of production area, will include approximately 106 acres of runoff containment area. Design Objectives The waste management plan for Fullmer Cattle will consist of constructing a waste storage pond within the associated drainage area. The pond will be constructed to contain runoff from the open lot area, including the lot area, commodity storage area, and calf area within each ponds drainage boundaries. A second proposed production area and waste storage pond wilt be designed and engineered prior to phase II construction. The ponds will be dewatered toadjacent farm fields as needed. Water will be applied to cropped fields at agronomic rates as .a fertilizer according to a nutrient management plan that, will meet State requirements. Hydrology and Hydraulics This waste management system is designed to contain the 25 year -24 hour storm event as determined from the TAPS weather data. The required capacity was determined using the spreadsheet 313Pond,XLS "RECTANGULAR WASTE STORAGE POND DESIGN COMPUTATIONS" developed by John Andrews, NRCS State Conservation Engineer for Colorado. The spreadsheet uses a monthly balance approach accounting for precipitation inputs, as well as evaporation and pumped draw -downs during the summer irrigation season for the outputs. All waste water will be generated from the lot area, feed and commodity area and the calf area, All precipitation that does not fall directly on these areas will be diverted away from the containment area and will flow into the natural depressions. AG P`'ROfessionals Page 2 of 5 Fullmer Cattle The design storm is a 25 year -24 hour storm event which corresponds to an amount of 3.40 inches of rainfall at the Greeley, CO weather station. The drainage area of 77 acres will produce a storm runoff volume of 10.77 acre feet Phase II will be designed at a later date. Storage Pond The pond will be_ approximately 56 acre-feet in size. The pond will be lined with a liner to meet the requirements of 5 CCR 1002-81. An emergency spillway may be installed to comply with Regulation 5 CC ' 1002-61.17(5)(+c)(ix)(C). Spilt protection will be installed in pond inlets to ensure that the flow of water into the pond does not erode and compromise the integrity of the pond liner. The system is designed to be dewatered frequently during the summer of each year and dewatered aslow as possible prior to each winter. The pond has been designed to handle the normal runoff and process water and still maintain capacity for the design storm. The water level must be kept below the working depth marked on the staff gauge to ensure adequate storage capacity for runoff from the design storm. The facility has over 6 months of storage which prevents the need to land apply wastewater during the winter months. Diversions and Conveyances All diversions willbe sized and constructed to handle flows from the design storm event. Al! conveyance structures will be sized to handle the projected flows. Geotechnica! Recommendations The soil survey indicated that the site is underlain predominantly by sandy soils. The soil survey also indicates that the soil is Talent and Vona Loamy sands in the area where the proposed ponds will be located. Subsurface explorations have been conducted. The pond design allows for a 4 feet setback from ground water to the bottom of the liner to comply with Regulation 5CCR 1002— 1.8(6)(a)(i)(b). The bores have been made into piezormeters and the groundwater levels will continue to be monitored over time. This subsurface exploration indicated that the soils in the proposed pond area consisted of coarse soils that are not suitable as a compacted clay liner. AGPROfessionaI's Page 3of 5 Fullmer Cattle Land Application The proposed waste storage pond will be !c atered to the forty-five acres of irrigated farm land south of the pen area. All wastewater will be applied at agronomic rates as defined in the facility's butrient Management Plan. Using estimates generated from the spreadsheet 313Pond.XLS "RECTANGULAR WASTE STORAGE P I D DESIGN COMPUTATIONS", 942 acre-feet of wastewater will be generated for land application in an average year. The amount of alfalfa or corn silage needed to utilize this wastewater in a conservative manner is 28 or 46 acres of sprinkler irrigated ground, respectively, In order to utilize the approximately 10.7 .acre --feet of runoff generated in a 25 year -24 hour storm event, 36 or 70 acres of sprinkler irrigated alfalfa or corn silage, respectively, is needed. Wastewater will be dewatered to adjacent land via 3R! party transfer as needed. Approximately 105,850 tons (32% DM as ,applied) of manure will be generated annually. This manure will be provided to local farmers for use in their cropping operations.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the surveyareas. 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 iannd uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and cornplyiny 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 (httpliwww.nrcs.usdaigoviwpsi portlinresimaln/soils/health, and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://officestsc.egov.usda.gov►/i ator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http:/�w.nres_usdagovi ps/portal/n res/detaWWWsoils/cantactus/? lfid=nres1 42 ap _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. Clayey 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 the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey Information about soils is updated. periodically, Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil surrey information.

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). l'cil_eRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share commoncharacteristics 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 MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey. area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geode-gyl, landform relief; climate; and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of sail 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 sail or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soills on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually changer 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 Soli 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 and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions_ Some components ponents 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 iandfornis 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, ` ikihiile 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 d iffere nt 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. Soil 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 dater 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 6 Custom Soil Resource Report identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers:, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. Soil _ Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map_ Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit., 8 IRO 0 450 SCO inti 2703 Map pry: 'deb Meccabx Comer cart naxs: Wa934 Edge ' UTN1Zene 13N.

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 sod 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 mayextend beyond the limits definedfor 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 arecalled noncontrasting, or similar, components.. They may or may not bementioned in a particular map unit description_ Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to effect 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 lot Custom Soil Resource Report 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. 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 landforms or landform 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 lager, 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 its 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 alll 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 oneunit 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, 0 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 ofonly 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. 12 Custom Soil Resource Report Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part 4—Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 3621 Elevation: 3,6O to 4,700 feet Mean annual precipitation: 12 to 16 inches Mean annual air temperature: 50 to 55 degrees F Frost -free period: 100 to 165 days Farmland classification: Prime farmland if drained and either protected from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season Map Unit Composition Aquais and similar soils: 55 percent Aque;pts, flooded, and similar soils: 25 percent Minor components: 20 percent Estimates are based on observations, descriptions, and transects of the mapurit.

This supplement outlines management practices generally acceptable and proven effective at minimizing nuisance conditions. Neither nuisance management nor this supplemental plan is required by Colorado State statute or specifically outlined in the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Operations Control Regulations. This is a proactive measure to assist integration into local communitiest Fullmer Cattle will use these management and control practices, to their best and practical extent. Legal Owner, Contacts and Authorized Persons Correspondence and Contacts should be made to: Fullmer Cattle Company 25696 WCR 40 Kersey, CO 80644 Office: (970) 815-7499 The individual(s) at this facility who is (are) responsible for developing the implementation, maintenance and revision of this supplemental plan are listed below. Zeb Palmer (Name) Manager (Title) (Name) (Title) Legal Description The confined animal feeding facility described in this NMP is located at: Part of the East of Section 32, Township 4 North, Range 64 West of the 6th . . 2 Fullmer Cathe Company A PRO, Jssionals Air Quality Air quality at and around confined animal feeding operations is affected primarily from the relationship of soil/manure and available moisture. The two primary air quality concerns at dairies are dust and odor. However, the management practices for dust or odor control are not inherently compatible. Wet pens andmanure produce odor. Dry pens are dusty. The two paragraphs below outline the best management practices for the control of dust and odors that Fullmer Cattle will use. The manager shall closely observe pen conditions and attempt to achieve a balance between proper dust and odor control. Dust Dust from pen surfaces is usually controlled by intensive management of the pen surface by routine cleaning and harrowing of the pen surface. The purpose of intensive surface management is twofold: to keep cattle clean and to reduce pest habitat. The best management systems for dust control involve moisture management. Management gent methods Fullmer Cattle shall use to control dust are: ' Pen density Moisture will be managed by varying stocking rates and pen densities. The animal's wet manure and urine keep the surface moist and control dust emissions. Stocking rateswill r be managed to m niize dust. Regular manure removal Fullmer Cattle will continue to conduct regular manure removal. Manure removal and pen maintenance will be conducted as needed. 3. Water Trucks Should nuisance dust conditions arise, water tanker trucks or portable sprinkling systems may be used for moisture control on pens and roadways to minimize nuisance dust conditions. Odor Odors result from the natural decomposition processes that start as soon as the manure is excreted and continue as long as any usable material remains as food for microorganisms living everywhere in soil, water and the manure. Odor strength depends on the kind of manure, and the conditions under which it decomposes. Fullmer Cattle will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor control: 1. Establish good en drainage Dry manure is less odorous than moist manure. The Dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and surface harrowing to reduce standing water and dry or remove wet manure. Fullmer Cattle Company A GPROfessaona/s 2. Regular manure removal Reduce the overall quantity of odor producing sources. The Dairy will conduct routine pen cleaning and harrowing several times per month. Composting Reduces volume, nutrients and minimizes odor and pests.. Reduce standing water Standing water can increase microbial digestion and odor producing by-products. Proper pen maintenance and. surface grading will be conducted by the dairy to reduce standing water. The stormwater ponds will be dewatered regularly in accordance with the Manure and Wastewater Management Plan for Fullmer Cattle.. o chemical additives or treatments of the stormwater ponds for odor control are planned. Research to date indicates poor efficacy, if any, of these products. If it is determined that nuisance dust and odor conditions persist, Fullmer Cattle may increase the frequency of the respective management practices previously outline such aspen cleaning, surface grading and pemaintenance. Additionally, Vnuisance conditions continue to persist beyond increased maintenance interval controls, Fullmer cattle will install phs l or mechanical means such as living windbreaks and/or solid fences to further minimize nuisance conditions from dust and odors. Pest Control insects and Rodents 1. Regular manure removal and composting Manure management removes both food sources and habitat i Reduce standing water Standing water is a primary breeding ground for insects Minimize.* habitat Standing water, weeds and grass, manure stockpiles, etc., are all prime habitat for reproduction and protection. Reduce or eliminate these areas where practical.. Weeds and grass management Keep weeds and grassy areas to a minimum. These provide both protection and breeding areas. Minimize stockpiles or storage of manure Stockpiles of manure provide both breeding and protective habitat. Keep stockpile use to a minimum. 4 Fullmer came Company AGPROfessionals Biological treatments Parasitic wasps are excellent biological fly control and are widely used. The wasps lay their eggs in fly larvae hindering fly reproduction. Baits and chemical treatments Due to enviromllental and worker's safety concerns, chemical treatments are a last line of defense for insect control. Baits and treatments must be applied routineiy. However, they are very effective. Rodent control at Fullmer Cattle is best achieved by minimizing spillage of feedstuffs around the operation. Good housekeeping practi ces and regular feed bunk cleaning, site grading ng and maintenance are used to reduce feed sources. Rodent traps and chemical treatments are effective control methods and will be used as necessary. Insects and rodents inhabit areas that 1) have an adequate to good food supply and 2) foster habitat prime for breeding and living. Key Practices Fullmer Cattle will use to manage insects and rodents are to first eliminate possible habitat and then reduce the available food supply. In the event it is determined nuisance conditions from pest such as flies and rodents persist, Fullmer cattle will initially increase the frequency of the housekeeping and anagement practices outlined previously. Iffurther action is necessary, Fullmer Cattle will increase use of chemical controls and treatments, such as fly sprays, baits, and roden i i e for pest control, Mortality Management Fullmer Cattle will maintain the timely removal and disposal of mortalities to a rendering company. R Records of disposal will be maintained and will be available for review upon request. . p' 5 MEMORANDUM TO: PRE17-0232; Case File, pre -application DATE: August 24, 2017 FROM: Kris Ranslem, Planning Technician SUBJECT: Pre -Application Meeting prior to submitting USR for 20,000 dairy facility Attendees: Tim Naylor, AGPROfessionals Pamela Bland, Building Diana Aungst, Planning Hayley Balzano, Engineering Kris Ranslem, Planning Evan Pinkham, Public Works On Thursday, August 24, 2017 an informal discussion took place at the Greeley Administrative Offices Conference Room regarding a proposed 20,000 head calf facility.
