We have been watering the access road periodically during the day to mitigate dust. As an additional measure, we are calcifying the access road. This application of calcium chloride will help the roadway retain water. That process was completed on Friday, July 14. 2, We initiated conversations on Thursday, July 13 with the Weld County Sheriffs office to determine a rapid and efficient way to employ uniformed, off -duty officers to secure the entryway 24/7. We were told that off -duty officers are not allowed per Weld County regulations. We are now working with a third -party security company that will assist in monitoring and collecting information from traffic violations. This will help ensure that construction traffic does not enter the neighborhood, or exceed speed limits near the neighborhood and along the access road, our goal is to be a good neighbor. When we last spoke by phone during the week of June 26, I explained that I would be pleased to attend a meeting of your HOA along with members of our team, including those most closely involved in day-to-day operations at the plant. I haven't heard from you about this, so I want to reiterate that we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with the members of the HOA to answer your questions and discuss any concerns. 3.1 also want to answer a question that Kim Ogle at the Weld County planning office passed along to us. The question is about Discovery DJ Services, LLC. Discovery DJ Services is the local operating company of Discovery Midstream Partners. Discovery's financial backer is TPG Growth. TPG owns a majority interest in Discovery Midstream Partners and Discovery operates under its umbrella. TPG has approximately $73 billion in assets under management. We make this point to assure you that Discovery DJ Services has the resources to meet its commitments. If you have questions, please contact me anytime at 318.272-1018 (m) or Cory@disc0verymidstream.com. I would also like to set a date for us to meet with the HOA so we can work together in the spirit of open and honest communications. Best wishes, Cory Jordan Chief Operating Officer Discovery DJ Services, LLC EXHIBIT 7859 Walnut Hill Lane I Suite 335 I Dallas, Texas 75230 1214.414.1980 d isco ve ry m ids trca mn.cn rn 7-17-17 To the county Commissioners, Planning Department; Proposed Gas plant expansion, I am writing to let you know as president of Buffalo Ridge Estates HOA , the Board and residents opposes any further expansion to the gas processing plant located off Road 10 and Eagle Street that Discovery wants to add. You did notify the property owners whose property borders their property but did not contact the governing HOA Board of which includes these properties. The HOA was left out. They are all most finished with their first plant and a lot of the neighborhood has complained to me why they were not notified. I've had a lot complaints of noise and dust, trouble with speeding cars and trucks that have been driving through our neighborhood during the construction of this first plant that will process 60 million gal per day. Now Discovery wants to add another plant "phase 2" that will process 200 million gal per day. This is even closer and will have a great impact on our community. It raises great safety concerns with this type of high pressure natural gas in our neighborhood which is laterally right next door. Open flames, noise, odors more truck traffic and loss of our property values. This is an established community and the HOA has been registered with the state, and approved by Weld County. We have strict covenants and guidelines that we enforce, and this addition would not be acceptable for most of them. Reading the resolution that was signed by the Commissioners on October 26tH 2016, it appears that Discovery has not followed some of the guide lines whie building. Local Cities were asked of their opinion of use of special review permit for this with only one reply, but Buffalo Ridge Estates was not included who actually boarders Discovery's property. We were left out and now the residents are wondering why. Edward Engle, HOA president EXHIBIT 3 Jo 3 r3;217 �' t * tin #1..

We want to make you and the members of the HOA aware that pre -commissioning activities could begin as early as Monday, July 24. The plant could be operational as early as Tuesday, August 1. During the pre -commissioning period, we push gas through our pipeline to remove oxygen from the pipeline. Then we purge the lines in the plant. This is an extremely important safety measure. However, we want to make you aware that this process does get a little noisy from time -to -time. Periodically, you and your neighbors can expect to hear a roaring sound that lasts, on average, anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes to 10 to 15 minutes. Pre -commissioning is an around -the -clock activity, but we will conduct these purging activities during daylight hours: approximately 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Although we don't expect it - and will do all we can to avoid it - please understand that we might be completing an activity as the sun goes down. We also want to let you know that lights may be required at the plant during pre -commissioning. This is for the personal safety of our employees. We do plan to point them in a down -facing direction. If you have any questions throughout this process, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time by phone or email. And please feel free to distribute this message and my contact information to the members of the HOA.

Between 21:30 and 22:30 three semi trucks arrived with deliveries of various materials to the project, Security attempted to turn them around to go stay at the truck stop a few miles from here. One of the truck drivers became angry at security and then for spite went down Eagle Street flooring/revving his engine. He went into the neighborhood and turned around on Falcon Drive and went roaring back up eagle and drove recklessly up road 35, passing another one of the trucks going up the hill on a double yellow, I am not sure whose property he trespassed on to turn around on our narrow residential street. Our master bedroom and nursery are the north side of the house and he woke up my wife and our new baby. Additionally throughout this ordeal two of the trucks blocked road 35 numerous times with both parking and turning around. To compound this disturbance the third truck driver wouldn't speak to the security guard and remained parked at the entrance to the access road with his engine running all night. We had diesel fumes and the sound keep us up most of the night only to be woken up 2 hours later by the same semi trucks roaring back down the road. I personally went down there around 23- 23:30 and spoke to security officer Juneau who advised me he was unable to speak to the driver to have him move/cut off the engine because he was"passed out" or was simply refusing to come to the window of his cab. I have already contacted Chris Roberts from Discovery but wanted to make you aware of the major impact this issue had and note that it isn't the only such incident.

Lupton, CO. Proposed temporary structures on Phase 1 Proposed Phase II Ms. Ogle, We have lived in Buffalo Ridge Estates since 2000. Two amenities we most love about our area are the wide open vistas and the quiet. While we are not against progress, we know the residents of Buffalo Ridge Estates should have a say when such a large project is considered. We were not notified of Phase I, which we believe is due to Weld County statues that require notification only to property owners that border that project. However, this project has affected the entire residential area of Buffalo Ridge Estates, NOT just the few homes bordering the project. Disturbing affects of Phase I and proposed Phase II include: increased traffic including dump trucks and semi's using Eagle Street and WCR 10 as access roads. Even though these streets were posted, they were used as access roads. In addition, employee vehicles use our streets all hours of the day, especially noticable at shift changes. Our residents are runners, bicyclers, dog walkers, horseback riders, children, and must now must use extreme caution or even forego their activities because of increased traffic. Noise pollution - this plant seems to run 24 hours and the increased noise of big trucks spoils the quiet of our neighborhood 0 Dust pollution. Because of the clearing of acres of land to the west of our 1 EXHIBIT sri A 2 Estates, every wind brings a dust storm, causing us to close windows and doors on anotherwise erwise breezy days with no dust. • Visibility. We do not want to see tall stacks with or without flames. We do not want to see acres of this plant everytime we go out our doors. We do not want to see acres of parking lots full of vehicles. Health. As residents of Buffalo Ridge Estates we are asking to be provided an extensive health study regarding proximity to gas plant. Since we are just finding out about Phase II, we have a lot of research ahead of us and residents wilt be sharing what we each discover. However, Weld County should be responsible in overseeing this research. Nobody wants risk of illness or explosions next door. One document we are looking at now is "Dangerous Neighbors: Pipelines, Compressor Stations, and Environmental Injustice". Odor. Once Phase I goes "live" on July 31 we believe this will become a factor, and certainly for Phase ll. Property value, obviously our home values have gone down with Phase i in place. Phase II could be disastrous for those of us who count their homes as long term financial stability. Please listen to the residents and consider our futures here in Buffalo Ridge Estates. N O to temporary structures in Phase I N O to Phase II Sincerely, ;tam (i_eit Rick and Nancy Pew 2 August 22, 2017 Cory Jordan, Coo, Discovery Di Services, LLC Mr. Jordan, First of all thank you for trying to be a good neighbor by placing the stop sign and reducing truck traffic through our neighborhood and posting larger signs. I am writing to update you on our latest meeting the HOA had last night with the Gas plant Mitigation Committee_ Here is a list of the general concerns at this point from our HOA residents: 1. The meeting planned for September 6th is to get responses and reaction from plant operations of your first plant. But due to the set back from what I am told was an electrical fire which the local fire department had to be called, delayed the startup and now the new startup date has been pushed back to September 24th at best. This brings up a great number of safety concerns. a. Blast radius from a potential gas leak and explosion. b. It's impact on such a blast if one were to happen to our neighborhood, c. Warning system in case such an event occurs. d. Response time from local emergency personnel and responders. 2. Long term Impact on our way of life here as we have no idea until the first plant is in operation on noises, odors and lighted skies in the night. 3. The impact of home values and chances of resell in the future. 4. Description and design of a sound berm and description of a permanent buffer zone between your plant and our HOA. You stated at our last meeting you would be willing to enhancement our neighborhood and to improve our community to offset some property loss and to let you know what we want. The committee has suggested some ideas and heard some ideas. But until the main concerns above are addressed at future meetings, the residents of Buffalo Ridge HOA feel that community enhancement would be considered last, We are asking you to postpone the hearing set for September 5th for Case LISR17-0032 to a later date. we feel as does our attorney that the pipeline and plant should be considered as one component, although it involves 2 hearing procedures. Could you let me know your decision by the end of the week Friday August 25th so I can let our mitigation committee and the HOA know? Thank You Edward Engle Buffalo Ridge HOA President Darren Swink August 31, 2017 Weld County Planning Department Ann: Tom Parko 1555 North 17th Ave Greeley, CO. 80631 4133 Falcon Dr. Fort Lupton, CO. 80621 Subject: Discovery Gas Plant — Case# USR16-0031 16-0031 Dear Tom: P 6 a 1 ELL- utirikadc: 1 would like to express my concerns on the new installation of the Discovery Gas Plant on the east side of Fort Lupton next to the Buffalo Ridge Estates housing development. When the notices first came out for this plant we OA members) did not feel we were properly informed on the size and magnitude of this plant. My Concerns 1. This large gas plant will dramatically have a major negative financial impact on our housing values over the next 10-20 years. The houses along the western edge of Buffalo Ridge Estates will be hit the hardest with 30E-50% loses in housing values. 2. This gas plant will have a noise impact. 3. This gas plant will have a odor impact. 4. This gas plant will have a dust impact. 5. This gas plant will have a sun reflection impact. My Solutions 1. Phase 2,3,4, etc.... be located to the south of phase I plant at least / mile. . Phase 1 plant has all reflect surfaces painted to a natural color. 3. Phase 1 plant install noise absorbing materials. 4. The Phase 1 plant have 8a12 feet high dirt burms around it that is properly landscaped with trees and native grasses. 5. The land between Buffalo Ridge and Phase 1 plant used as open space.

I agree with my neighbors that for the safety and quality of life we had before the plant began construction and limited operation, we must have a buffer zone and a berm between the east side of Phase 2 and our west property line. This will protect us from noise and light including unforeseen and possible fire and explosion. Truck traffic from Discovery's operation between the hours of 6 -8 am and 4-6pm on WCR 35 heading to Co Hwy 52 is presenting a huge problem for our residents trying to go to work or town, often causing delays of 5-7 minutes or more. There have been a number of accidents and near misses in that area since Discovery began Phase 1 in 2016. We have had meetings with Discovery but they have mostly of a PR nature. Discovery has built the (USR 16-0031) Phase I gas processing plant and it is operating with anticipated noise and light pollution 24 hours a day — 7 days a week. They were granted permission for a greater than 20" pipeline (23") at the October 4th 2017 hearing. Discovery has submitted a USR request for a Phase II expansion of the gas processing facility to expand the operation to 260,000,000 cubic feet per day. (260Mmcf/day). They informed the neighbors that a further pipeline (Milton West Pipeline Project) 16" is next. (USR not yet applied for.) All these terminate at the at the Fort Lupton Gas Processing facility just West of our neighborhood. They appear to be applying for USR permits in an Agricultural/Residential Zone —One request at a time. This appears to be a HUGE industrial facility and it is a growing concern to residents that (so far) have been unable to stop this growth. If allowed to continue to expand, Discovery will be processing more than 10 Mmcf/Flour. 10,000,000 cf/hour. (3,000 cf/second). I oppose this expansion and the Gas Processing Facility Itself. It has no place this close to homes. And Discovery should not be granted USR permits.

This area was zoned Ag/Residential and this is why I moved in and live here. We elect our county representatives to protect the neighborhood so we don't have to meet and organize to fight against what I consider an Industrial intrusion from the Gas Industry. Discovery has already been granted one USR and are now operating Phase I, which processes 60,00Q000 cf f day of a mixture containing FLAMMABLE gas liquids. and li uids. Then - they were granted another USR 17-0032 to bring in another 23" flammable gas supply line that terminates less than a one half mile from our community. We are being ppy over run by the gas and oil industry. Some time in the future when the Oil/Gas/Fracking boom is over - Weld county is going to be faced he problem this State was faced with after the Gold/Silver/Uranium boom. The companies with t same �rer are long gone and all the mine and infrastructure is being cleaned up by this generation. Discovery by (financially backed TPG Growth ) is applying for USR 17-0059 as Discovery Midstream Partners, LLC. And advertises that they will be processing 260,000,000 cf/day in 2018.

Y ICE A Buffalo Ridge Estates neighborhood meeting was recently held concerning the Discovery Gas facility west of our community. I agree with my neighbors that for the safety and quality of life we had before the plant began construction and limited operation, we must have a buffer zone and a berm between the east side of Phase 2 and our west property line. This will protect us from noise and light including unforeseen and possible fire and explosion. Truck traffic from Discovery's operation between the hours of 6 -8 am and 4-6pm on NCR 35 heading to CO Hwy 52 is presenting a huge problem for our residents trying to go to work or town, often causing delays of 5-7 minutes or more. There have been a number of accidents and near misses in that area since Discovery began Phase 1 in 2016. We have had meetings with Discovery but they have mostly of a PR nature. Discovery has built the (USR 16-0031) Phase I gas processing plant and it is operating with anticipated noise and light pollution 24 hours a day — 7 days a week. They were granted permission for a greater than 20" pipeline (23k) at the October fee 2017 hearing. Discovery has submitted a USR request for a Phase II expansion of the gas processing facility to expand the operation to 260,000,000 cubic feet per day. (260Mmcf/day). They informed the neighbors that a further pipeline (Milton West Pipeline Project) 16" is next. (USR not yet applied for.) All these terminate at the at the Fort Lupton Gas Processing facility just West of our neighborhood. They appear to be applying for USR permits in an Agricultural/Residential Zone — One request at a time. This appears to be a HUGE industrial facility and it is a growing concern to residents that (so far) have been unable to stop this growth. If allowed to continue to expand, Discovery will be processing more than 10 Mmcf/Hour. 10,000,000 cf/hour. (3000 cf/second). I oppose this expansion and the Gas Processing Facility Itself, It has no place this close to homes. And Discovery should not be granted USR permits. 7 Thank you for y$ur i Mike and Mona DeSanti 4180 Falcon Dr, Fort Lupton, CO 80621 -7 u ,1er ation, EXHIBIT unnecoropii 4 Weld County Planning Dept.

As of now they are supposed to be operating at a noise level below 50db after 7pm at the edge of their property. I can take a db meter out to my front porch and get a consistent reading of close to 60db every night. This does not sound like they are meeting the standards of their current USR, and are now asking for a 2nd permit for a larger facility. We have met with Discovery and they brought in their noise consultant, who's modeling said the noise level would be at or below the levels pre Phase I plant. REAL WORLD, that is not true. Our quality of life has been impacted by this current plant, and the newly proposed plant will only make this neighborhood more impacted. Discovery Midstream Partners has been sending in their request one by one so as to disguise the real size of this project being built next to a residential community. In fact they have just gotten approval for a 23" gas pipe line which they have said is essential to the Phase I volume for their current plant which is already operating at full capacity. You can go back and review the transcripts of both the planning commission and the commissioners hearings if you question what I have written here. Clearly this 23" gas line and the additional Milton West Pipeline Project that they are working on USR's for are not for the plant that already exists, but for this one that is before you now.

RE: USR 17-0059, Discovery proposed Phase II gas plant expansion, Ft. Lupton, CO. Wehave l��edinBuffalo� Ridge id a Estates since 2000. Two amenities we most love about our area are the wide open vistas and the quiet. While we are not against progress, we know the residents of Buffalo Ridge Estates should have a say when such a large project is considered. We were not notified of Phase I, which we believe is due to Weld county statutes that require notification only to property owners that border that project. However, this project has affected the entire population of Buffalo Ridge Estates, NOT just the few homes bordering the project. Now that Phase It is up for permitting, please note: • If approved, increased construction traffic including dump trucks and semi's clogging traffic on CR 35 leaving and mud and rock trails onto both CR 35 and Eagle Street. During construction of Phase I, these trucks were also using Eagle Street, MeadowLark rk rive and WCR 10 as access roads, even though posted* Our residents are bicycle riders, horseback riders, dog walkers, runners, children, and would need to use extreme caution or even forego activities because of increased traffic. es Noise pollution - construction noise noticeable 24 hours a day. While it is is ONLY during that noise level construction, why should residents who were here first have togive up quiet 12-18 months during construction? Dust pollution' Because of the clearing of acres of land to the west of our Estates, every wind brings a dust storm, causing us to close windows and doors on anotherwise breezy days with no dust. • Visibility. We do not want to see tall stacks, this plant, pipes, compressorbuildin s pumps everytime we go out our doors. We want to see the g �p p mountains and plains. November 1, 2017 • Health. Residents of Buffalo Ridge and any adjacent residences need to be provided an extensive health study regarding proximity to gas plant. Weld EXIi1BrT County should be responsible in overseeing this research. Nobody wants risk of illness, pollution or an explosion next door. * Safety. Does Discovery have upgraded mainenance practices, including monitoring inspections and ins ections to reduce emissions of volatile compounds which contribute to smog and ground level ozone, which can lead to respiratory illnesses? • Property value. Obviously our home values have gone down with Phase I in place. Phase II could be disastrous for those of us who count their homes as long term financial stability. We residents of Buffalo Ridge Estates were here first, when the surrounding acres were zoned Agricultural. We never dreamed zoning for a gas plant would be approved so close to our homes.

As a resident of the Buffalo Ridge Estates neighborhood that is next to the proposed Phase II of the gas processing plant and a property owner whose property directly adjoins the current Discovery Midstream gas processing plant project, I do not want this proposed expansion of the gas plant to be permitted. The denial of this USR is appropriate for the following reasons: 1. As Phase 1R of the gas processing plant is not yet operational, 1 do not know the impact this will have on peaceful enjoyment of my home. Therefore, it is even more indeterminate what the impact will be from an additional expansion of the plant that will be even closer to my home and able to process three to four times the capacity of the Phase 1A and Phase 1B plant that has already been permitted. The proposed expansion of this industrial facility raises many concerns regarding noise pollution, light pollution, and the safety of so many individuals living so near an industrial site. 2. As a property owner whose land directly adjoins the current and proposed expansion of this gas plant, my purchase of this home was made with the knowledge that the surrounding areas were zoned for agricultural use. Discovery claims in their USR Permit Application that the property in question is "clustered close to other oil and gas facilities" and that "adjacent parcels in all directions have some type of oil and gas infrastructure currently operating". These statements are gross misrepresentations of the facts. The property in question is not surrounded by industrial sites, our neighborhood of 45 homes is directly to the east of the proposed expansion site. The other oil and gas facilities that exist currently and are planned for the future consist of buried pipelines and well heads and tank batteries that sit low to the ground (resulting in no visual impact), and are or will be at least one-half mile from my home. Discovery's plans for expansion are much closer and much more industrial in appearance with numerous towers and large industrial buildings than any existing or planned oil and gas facilities in our vicinity. As a property owner, I have no desire to have an industrial facility of the size and nature proposed by Discovery as my neighbor. 3. Just as I do not wish to live next to an industrial site, I do not believe anyone looking at purchasing properties in our neighborhood will want this eyesore in their backyard either. Therefore, I believe the property values within the neighborhood, particularly those bordering directly on the Discovery Midstream property as mine does, will suffer significant losses that will not be made whole with the intrusion of the industrial site next to our homes. EXHIBIT I Warp 0094 Thank you for your consideration of this request to recommend denial of this proposed expansion of the Discovery Midstream project.

As a resident of the Buffalo Ridge Estates neighborhood that is next to the proposed Phase II of the gas processing plant and a property owner whose property directly adjoins the current Discovery Midstream gas processing plant project, I do not want this proposed expansion of the gas plant to be permitted. The denial of this USR is appropriate because there are too many unanswered questions in the USR Permit Application. My husband and I have been unable to receive clear responsive answers from Discovery regarding what the visual impact of the plant expansion will be from our home. We are very concerned about this issue, as the primary living areas of our home have western views. These views of the Rocky Mountains are already diminished by Phase I of the plant and will be even more impacted by the proposed Phase II expansion, The proposed plant will negatively impact our visual and noise -free enjoyment of our home and rural environment as well as cause an inevitable reduction in property value due to neighboring an industrial site. Their USR application details such equipment as: a TEG dehydration unit, a flare at 170/, a cryogenics tower at 140', a stabilizer tower at 70' and molecular sieve units at 50' maximum height (for which no quantity was indicated). The application also indicates that there will be "two or more Cargo (Coney€) Containers" and that Phase II will have a compressor building and 4 separate MCC buildings totaling 40,000 square feet. We have no idea, of course, what a TEG dehydration unit, a molecular sieve unit or MCC buildings will look like or how many "or more" containers will be installed. Discovery's responses to our requests for a three dimensional (or elevation) view of the Phase II plant have been extremely uninformative. For example, • We were referred to a plot plan, depicting shapes of buildings and equipment, which was to be submitted with the USR application. • When we indicated that Discovery's response did not adequately present a three dimensional view at elevation of the proposed expansion, Discovery arranged for panoramic pictures to be taken from various homes adjacent to the Discovery property. A model of the gas plant expansion was dropped into the picture. Due to the distortion that naturally occurs with panoramic photos, the current gas plant appeared in the picture to be even further away than it EXHIBIT Wet ri e°54 realistically appears from our property and the proposed expansion could not even be identified in the picture, when we attended neighborhood meetings and spoke with the engineers Discovery retained to plan the site build -out, they indicated that a three dimensional model was available that would show what the plant would look like; however, Discovery has not shared that information with us. • We have also been told that the plans are not "finalized" and would be out of date by the time we would receive them, if they were provided. We have reviewed the plot plan that was submitted for USR16-0031 (Phase I) and see that it does not present any sort of likeness to the current visual of the Phase I plant that we see from our home, and are concerned that, with its larger footprint, Phase RI will be even more intrusive. We know that the technology is readily available to present a three dimensional view of the proposed plant from various locations. We recently attended a neighborhood meeting with Anadarko regarding the oil wells and processing equipment that will be drilled and installed to the south of our property. Anadarko was able to show us, as if we were standing on our back patio, a three dimensional model of the drilling rigs, the sound/visual barriers, and the processing equipment. This presentation enabled us and our neighbors to know the visual impact that Anadarkes operations will have on our properties. So, we have to question, if Anadarko can do this, why can we not get the same information from Discovery prior to any further approval of Phase II? Because there are so many unanswered questions regarding exactly what this proposed expansion entails, we believe it would be very premature to approve further expansion of the gas plant until these and many other issues have been resolved satisfactorily.

As a resident of the Buffalo Ridge Estates neighborhood that is next to the proposed Phase II of the gas processing plant and a property owner whose property directly adjoins the current Discovery Midstream gas processing plant project, I do not want this proposed expansion of the gas plant to be permitted. The postponement or denial of this USR is appropriate for the following reason: There are too many unanswered questions regarding the current operations of Phase I. The Discovery Midstream plant is currently operating only Phase IA of the existing plant. Phase IB is not expected to begin operations until mid -January. Given these facts, it is premature to make any decisions regarding expansion into a Phase Ii operation before being able to determine the actual impact of Phase I on the neighboring community of Buffalo Ridge Estates. With only Phase IA in operation, we are experiencing significant problems with the noise coming from this facility and do not know how much this will be impacted by Phase IB. Although Discovery indicates that they have a sound mitigation system on order for Phase I, they do not yet have a delivery or installation date for this system. Therefore, we cannot determine if this system will effectively reduce the noise from the gas plant to an acceptable level for our neighborhood and specifically for those of us in homes directly next to the existing gas plant. As a result, it would be premature to allow Phase II to move through the USR approval process when Discovery has yet to demonstrate its ability to control the noise emanating from Phase I of the plant. To determine if the noise is being effectively controlled, this system should be installed and allowed to operate for several months; thereby allowing its effectiveness to be evaluated during spring/summer conditions when residents of the Buffalo Ridge neighborhood would have windows open during significant parts of the day. Thank you for your consideration of this request to recommend postponement or denial of this proposed expansion of the Discovery Midstream project.

Case # UR17-0059 December 16, 2017 To: Mr. Kim Ogle, Planner III Weld County Derp. of Planning Services Ref. Case # URI7-0059 Dear Mr. Ogle, My Name is Heather Brinkman and My Husband Ray and I reside at 4173 Falcon Drive, Fort Lupton, Co. Our property is adjacent to the Discovery Midstream Gas processing facility in Fort Lupton off of County Road 35. I am writing to you to express my support for the Discovery Midstream plant behind my property. First, I would like to say that I have attended three of the meeting the Discovery Midstream has hosted to inform the neighbors about their facility and their plans. They have very kindly and with great detail answered all of our questions and concerns about the plant. The meeting that they had for the Buffalo Ridge residents at the Fort Lupton Recreational Center on September 6, 2017, was extremely informative. They gave us detailed presentations of what the facility will look like and about the equipment and safety features that will be installed. They have specifically chosen equipment for their plant that is residentially friendly and we appreciate that. At all of the meetings with Discovery Midstream the only request that my husband and I made to them was that we asked if they would build a dirt berm and plant trees around their facility to help mitigate the noise and lights from it. I have received several emails form Discovery Midstream representatives informing residents in Buffalo Ridge that they have hired a landscaping company that specializes in the buffering between industrial and residential areas. The Discovery Midstream representatives have even come to our neighborhood several times to meet with property owners to discuss landscaping options that best suit each property needs to mitigate the impact of our views. To me this shows Discovery Midstream going above and beyond and to their commitment to being good neighbors and doing what they can to reduce the visual impact of their facility on our neighborhood. Lastly, we have chosen to live in Weld County knowing full well that the Oil and Gas industry is thriving here. Our opinion is that this industry is very beneficial to our county and we appreciate the way that the county officials have worked with the Oil and Gas companies to keep our county safe and prosperous. Thank you for your time and for the care that you put into planning the future of our county. As a Weld county resident, we appreciate your hard work at balancing the growth and economic stability and the needs and safety of the resident of our county.
