This - poultry/layer suppfiemnt outlines management practices generally acceptable and proven effective at minimizing nuisance conditions. Neither nuisance manag,emcnt nor this supplemental plan is, required by olorad+ State Statute or specifically outlined in the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding erations Control Regulations. This is a proactive measure to assist integration into local communities.

(Signature) Brock Peterson (Name) P„,Ah7 (Date) President (Title) Legal Description The confined animal feeding facility described in this NMP is located at IMPS ONLY MH E4/ t 100' NE4 13 2 63 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 airquality concerns are 2 Opal Foods, LLC A GPROfessionals dust and odor. However, the management practices for dust or odor control are not inherently compatible. The two paragraphs below outline the best management rac tices for the control of dustodors p and that will be used. The manager shall closely observe conditions and attempt to achieve a balance between proper dust and odor control. Dust Dust at Opal Foods, LLC will predominantly be from road surfaces as thepoultry is housed i closed n buildings. Dust is usually controlled by intensive management of the surface by routine moisturizing, of the surface. The best management systems for dust control involve moisture management. Management methods the facility shall use to control dust are: 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 star 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. The poultry and the associated manure are contained within the poultry houses and managed as such. Opal Foods, 1,11 will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor control: Regular manure removal Reduce the overall quantity of odor producing sources, Poultry barns manure is removed on a regular schedule. The manure is stored in covered buildings before being shipped ed to third party users. . Reduce standing water Standing water can increase microbial digestion and odor producing by-products. Proper surface grading will be conducted to reduce standing water. The wastewater ponds will be dewatered regularly. No chemical additives or treatments of the stormwater ponds for odor control are planned. Research to date indicates poor efficacy, if any, of these products, fit is determined that nuisance dust and odor conditions persist, Opal Foods, Lit may increase the frequency of the respective a nage ent practices previously outlined such as surface grading n and manure rem o vaL Additionally, if i f nuisance conditions continue to rsist beyond increased maintenance interval controls, Opal Foods, LLC will install h sical or mechanical means such as living windbreaks and/or solidfences to Miner minimize nuisance conditions fromdust and odors, 3 Opal Foods, LL C AGPRO, essionais Pest Control In s acts and R a den is .1. Regular manure removal Manure management removes both food sources and habitat Reduce standing water Standing water is a primary breeding ground for insects .. Mini ize & habitat Standing water, weeds and grass, manure stockpiles, etc., are all prime habitat fo r or reproduction and protection. Reduce or eliminate these areas where practical. 4. Weeds and grass management a ent Keep weeds and grassy areas to a minimum. These provide both protection and breeding areas. 5. Minimize stockpiles or storage of Stockpiles of manure provide both breeding and protective habitat, Manure is not stock piled at the facility. Manure is removed offsite to be used at agronomic rates. Biological treatments Parasitic wasps are excellent biological fly control and are widely used. The wasps their eggs hindering�' lay eggs in fly larvae fly reproduction. 7. Baits and chemical' treatments Due to environmental and workers' safety concerns, chemical treatments are a last line l � n.e of defense for insect control. Baits and treatments must be applied routinely. However, they are very effective: Rodent control at the facility is best achieved by minimizing spillage ge of feedktuffs around the � I� b - operation.

WCR 73 has two 11' wide thru lanes adjacent to the project site. 2.1 Existing Traffic Volumes Existing peak hour traffic volume counts were conducted using data collection cameras at the intersection of WCR 73 and the existing site access intersection on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. The traffic counts were conducted during the peak hours of adjacent street traffic in 15 -minute intervals from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. These turning movement counts are shown in Figure 3 with the count sheets provided in Appendix A.

Additionally, the proposed land use associated with the project is not anticipated to generate additional pedestrian or bicycle trips. Any additional pedestrian or bicycle traffic from this development, if any, would be negligible. 4.0 Proposed Project The proposed project consists of expanding the Opal Foods commercial egg production facility. See Table 1: Trip Generation. Vehicular access to the project site is proposed from the existing full -movement site access to WCR 73. See Figure 2. 4.1 Trip 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 Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition does not provide detailed data related to commercial egg production farming. Therefore, the trip generation is based upon the below information obtained from the client Phase 1 to include 9 existing barns plus new 3 layer and 1 pullet 1. 44 employees + 7 additional after first 3 layer and 1 pullet barns complete 2.

Morgan and Car pool. Opal Foods will be providing a daily shuttle for employees. Using the above information, Phase I of the project is anticipated to generate approximately: 52 weekday average daily trips, 20 AM total peak hour trips, and 20 PM total peak hour trips. The total build -out of the project site (Phase 1 + Phase 2 traffic) is anticipated to generate approximately: 100 weekday average daily trips, 39 AM total peak hour trips, and 39 PM total peak hour trips.

The directional distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site generated traffic that approaches the site from a given direction and departs the site back to the original source. Figure 4 illustrates the trip distribution used for the project's analysis. 4.3 Traffic Ass is nment Traffic assignment was obtained by applying the trip distribution to the estimated trip generation of the development. Figures 5 and 6 show the site generated traffic assignment for Phase 1 and Phase 2. 4.4 Short Range Total Peak Hour Traffic Site generated peak hour traffic volumes were added to the background traffic volumes to represent the estimated traffic conditions for the short range 2019 horizon. These background (2019) and short range (2019) total traffic volumes are shown in Figures 7, 8, and 9 respectively. The short range analysis year 2019 includes the proposed development for this project plus a 3% per year increase in background traffic. 5.0 Traffic Operation Analysis KE's analysis of traffic operations in the site vicinity was conducted to determine the capacity at the identified intersections. The acknowledged source for determining overall capacity is the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Opal Foods TIS Page 16 5.1 Analysis Methodology Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of level of service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative term describing operating conditions a driver will experience while traveling on a particular street or highway during a specific time interval. LOS ranges from an A (very little delay) to an F (long delays). A description of the level of service (LOS) for signalized and unsignalized intersections from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) are provided in Appendix B. 5.2 Intersection Operational Analysis Operational analysis was performed for the short range 2019 horizon. The calculations for this analysis are provided in Appendix E. Using the short range total traffic volumes, the project's intersections are projected to operate acceptably. See Table 2 and Table 3 for the 2019 Shod Range Total Peak Hour Operation. 5.3 Intersection Improvements The auxiliary lane analysis for the study intersections were conducted using CDOT State Highway Access Code (SHAC). Based upon the SHAG, a left -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 10 vph. Additionally, a right -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 25 vph, and a right -turn acceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak egress turning volume greater than 50 vph. Based upon the projected traffic of the development and the State Highway Access Code (SHAG), the following are the auxiliary lane recommendations for the project. Phase .1 Intersection Improvements: • None. The existing roadway system is sufficient to accommodate Phase 1 traffic. Total Build -out Intersection Improvements (Phase 1 + Phase 2 traffic): A northbound left -turn lane is required at the WCR 73 and Existing Site Access Opal Foods TIS Page 17 intersection. The left -turn deceleration lane should be a total of approximately 435 long (180' bay taper + 255' full width) with a 12' minimum lane width. The projected traffic volumes are not anticipated to warrant right -turn deceleration lanes or acceleration lanes per the HC.

All intersections are projected to operate acceptably upon development of the Opal Foods project. See Appendix E for Synchro 9 outputs. Based upon the projected traffic of the development and the State Highway Access Code (SHAG), the following are the auxiliary lane recommendations for the project. Phase I Intersection Improvements: * None. The existing roadway system is sufficient to accommodate Phase I traffic. Total Build -out Intersection Improvements (Phase 1 + Phase 2 traffic): • A northbound left -turn lane is required at the WCR 73 and Existing Site Access intersection. The left -turn deceleration lane should be a total of approximately 435' long (180' bay taper + 255' full width) with a 12' minimum lane width. The projected traffic volumes are not anticipated to warrant right -turn deceleration lanes or acceleration lanes per the SHAC.

This TIS is for the Opal Foods project located at 9575 CR 73, RoggenCO in Weld County, proposed CO. See Figure 1: Vicinity Map. Kellar Engineering LLB (KE) has prepared the TIS to document the results of the project's anticipated traffic conditions in accordance with Weld County's requirements p' � p and to identify projected impacts to the local and regional traffic system. 2.0 Existing Conditions and Roadwa Network The west boundary of the project site is adjacent to Weld County Road 73 (WCR 73) in We ld d County, CO. Access to the project site is proposed from the existing full - movement site access to WCR 73. WCR 73 is an existing north -south collector roadway with a P posted speed of 55 mph. R 73 has two 1 i ' wide thru lanes adjacent to the project site. 1 Existing Traffic Volumes Existing peak hour traffic volume counts were conducted using data collection cameras at the intersection of W R 73 and the existing site access intersection on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. The traffic counts were conducted during the peak hours of adj acent street traffic in 15 -minute intervals from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. These turning movement counts are shown in Figure 3 with the count sheets provided in Appendix A.

Additionally, the proposed land use associated with the project is not anticipated to generate additional pedestrian or bicycle trips. Any additional pedestrian or bicycle traffic from this development, if any, would be negligible. 4.0 Proposed Project The proposed project consists of expanding the Opal Foods commercial egg production facility . See Table 1: Trip Generations Vehicular access to the project site is proposed from the existing full -movement site access to 'vCR 73. See Figure 2. 4,1 Trio Generation Site generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip generations 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 Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (lIE)1 The Institute of Transportation Engineers° (lIE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition does not provide detailed data related to commercial egg production farming. Therefore the trip generation is based upon information obtained from the client. The primary hours of operation for Opal Foods are 5 AM to 10 PM, 7 -days a week. Shift work is not proposed The following approximate numbers are anticipated upon full build -out of the site: Semi -Tractor Egg Distribution Trucks: 95 per week Semi -Tractor Feed Truck: 150 per week Manure Trucks: 70 per week Pickups and cars: 100 per day for fullatime employees Using the above information, a peak hour traffic estimate was generated assuming approximately 120 AM total peak hour trips and 110 PM total peak hour trips. Therefore the Opal Foods project is anticipated to generate approximately 292 daily trips, 120 total AM peak hour trips, and 110 total PM peak hour trips. See Table 1: Trip Generation.

The directional distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site generated traffic that approaches roaches the site from a given direction and departs the site back to the original source. Figure 4 illustrates the trip distribution used for the project's analysis. 4,3 Traffic Assignment Traffic assignment was obtained by applying the trip distribution to the estimated trip generation of the developments Figures 5 shows the site generated traffic assignment. 4.4 Short Range Total Peak Hour Traffic Site generated peak hour traffic volumes were added to the background traffic volumes to represent the estimated traffic conditions for the short range 2019 horizon. These background (2019) and short range (2019) total traffic volumes are shown in Figures 6 and 7 respectively. The short range analysis year 2019 includes the proposed development for this project plus a 3% per year increase in background traffic. 5.) Traffic Operation Analysis , KE's analysis of traffic operations in the site vicinity was conducted to determine the r capacity at the identified intersections. The acknowledged source for determining overall capacity is the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Opal Foods TIS Page 13 541 Analysis Met:hodolow ' Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of level of service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative term describing operating conditions adriver will experience while traveling on a particular street or highway during a specific time interval. LOS ranges from an A (very little delay) to an F (long delays). A description of the level of service (LOS) for signalized and unsignalized intersections from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HM) are provided in Appendix B. 5.2 Intersection Operational Analysis. Operational analysis was performed for the short range 2019 horizon. The calculations for this analysis are provided in Appendix Ei Using the short range total traffic volumes shown in Figure 7, the project's intersections are projected to operate acceptably. See Table 2 for the 2019 Short Range Total Peak Hour Operation. 5.3 Intersection Improvements The auxiliary lane analysis for the study intersections were conducted using COOT State Highway Access Code (SHAG). Based upon the SHAG, a I efku rn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 10 vph. Additionally, a right -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 25 vph, and a right -turn acceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak egress turning volume greater than 50 vph. Based upon the projected traffic of the development and the State Highway Access Code (SHAG), the following are the auxiliary lane recommendations for the project. Intersection Improvements: • A northbound left -turn lane is required at the 'RWCR 73 and Existing Site Access intersection. • A southbound right -turn lane is required at the WCR 73 and Existing Site Access intersection. Opal Foods TIS Page 14 The right -turn deceleration lane should be a total of approximately 380 long (180' bay taper + 200' full width) and have a lane travel width of at least 12'. The left -turn deceleration lane should be a total of approximately 435' long (180' bay taper + 255' full width) with a 12' minimum lane width. The projected traffic volumes are not anticipated to warrant acceleration lanes per the SHAC.
