SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
Kerr McGee Gathering
1099 18th Street, Denver, Co. 80202
Shayelyn Marshall
Hearing Date: November
21, 2017
A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a greater than
12 -inch (24 -Inch) High Pressure Natural Gas Pipeline approximately 2 miles in length in
the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
The pipeline will cross Sections 19120 and 30 T4N R67W of the 5th PM, Weld County,
CO
Generally located in an area bounded by County Road 44/County Road 44 Section Line to
the north, Adjacent to County Road 42 to the south, 0.5 miles west of County Road 17 to
the east and approximately 0.5 miles to the east of County Road 13.
+1- 24 acres Parcel No. Multiple
The applicant is proposing a 24 -inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline. This portion of the pipeline
(phase I) is two miles long and ends at the jurisdiction of Johnstown at the north -end. The rest of the
pipeline will eventually connect to the existing St. Vrain Compressor Station (USR14-0013). The preferred
route is the only route proposed. The proposed pipeline is part of negotiated right-of-way agreements that
allow for multi -line routes. No full-time employees will be located along the gas line route. The pipeline
route will be driven by one or two employees on a regular basis.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23.2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-480 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-480.A.1 - All reasonable efforts have been made to avoid irrigated cropland
or to minimize the negative impacts on agricultural uses and lands.
The pipeline is located within a private easement that has already been negotiated with
landowners. Per the application, once the pipeline is installed the trench will be backfilled
and top soil will be placed on top and the right-of-way will be graded to pre -construction
contours. If disturbance to crops occurs the property owner will be compensated a fair
market value.
USR17-0053, Kerr-McGee Gathering, Page 3 of 11
B. Section 23-2-480.A.2 - The pipeline will not have an undue adverse effect on existing
and future development of the surrounding area, as set forth in applicable Master Plans.
The proposed pipeline is located within the three-mile referral areas of the Town of
Johnstown, Town of Milliken, Town of Mead and Town of Berthoud. The pipeline is
located adjacent to the Town of Johnstown at the northern end of this segment. The
Town of Berthoud and the Town of Milliken, in their referral responses dated September
25, 2017 and October 4, 2017, indicated no conflicts with their interests. No referral
comments have been received from the Town of Johnstown and Town of Mead.
C Section 23-2-480.A.3 - The design of the proposed pipeline mitigates negative impacts
on the surrounding area to the greatest extent feasible.
The pipeline is located within a private easement that has already been negotiated with
landowners. Per the application, once the pipeline is installed the trench will be backfilled
and top soil will be placed on top and the right-of-way will be graded to pre -construction
contours. If disturbance to crops occurs the property owner will be compensated a fair
market value.
The applicant is also proposing to bore beneath county roads to avoid road damage and
disruption of traffic. Additionally, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented
during the construction process for all construction areas (including erosion control
methods and dust suppression).
D. Section 23-2-480.A.4 - The site shall be maintained in such a manner so as to control soil
erosion, dust and the growth of Noxious Weeds.
The application indicates that Anadarko and its contractors will utilize water trucks to
provide dust suppression. A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) will be
implemented to control soil erosion during construction. After completion of the pipeline
the pipeline area will be reseeded with appropriate native vegetation that will not be
allowed to grow over 12 inches in height.
E. Section 23-2-480.A.5 The applicant has agreed to implement any reasonable
measures deemed necessary by the Board of County Commissioners to ensure that the
health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County will be protected, and to
mitigate or minimize any potential adverse impacts from the proposed pipeline.
The pipeline is located within a private easement that has already been negotiated with
landowners. Per the application, once the pipeline is installed the trench will be backfilled
and top soil will be placed on top and the right-of-way will be graded to pre -construction
contours. If disturbance to crops occurs the property owner will be compensated a fair
market value.
The applicant is also proposing to bore beneath county roads to avoid road damage and
disruption of traffic. Additionally, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented
during the construction process for all construction areas (including erosion control
methods and dust suppression).
The application indicates that Anadarko and its contractors will utilize water trucks to
provide dust suppression. A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) will be
implemented to control soil erosion during construction. After completion of the pipeline
the pipeline area will be reseeded with appropriate native vegetation that will not be
allowed to grow over 12 inches in height.
USR17-0053, Kerr-McGee Gathering, Page 4 of 11
Per the application, Kerr-McGee has trained personnel available 24/7 to respond to
incidents and engage local officials as appropriate. Kerr-McGee/Anadarko's Central Date
Center provides 24/7 monitoring and has an emergency response number available.
F Section 23-2-480.A.6 - All reasonable alternatives to the proposal have been adequately
assessed, and the proposed action is consistent with the best interests of the people of
the County and represents a balanced use of resources in the affected area.
The preferred route utilizes a pipeline right-of-way corridor already negotiated through
agreements with private property owners. Alternative alignments would require new
easements to be negotiated and may result in greater environmental impacts.
+G Section 23-2-480.A.7 - The nature and location or expansion of the pipeline will not
unreasonably interfere with any significant wildlife habitat and will not unreasonably affect
any endangered wildlife species, unique natural resource, known historic landmark or
archaeological site within the affected area.
The proposed pipeline is located within an existing pipeline easement and crosses
cropland. No referral response has been received from Colorado Parks and Wildlife or
History Colorado.
H. Section 23-2-480.A.8 - No adverse impact, from stormwater runoff, to the public rights -
of -way and/ or surrounding properties as a result of the pipeline.
A Storm Water Management Plan (SWIM) will be implemented to control soil erosion
during construction. After completion of the pipeline the pipeline area will be reseeded
with appropriate native vegetation that will not be allowed to grow over 12 inches in
height.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards
(Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

25. RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT: Weld County has some of the most
abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coal.
Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the state's
commercial mineral deposits are essential to the state's economy; (b) the populous counties of the
state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be extracted according to
a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits and cause the least practicable disruption
of the ecology and quality of life of the citizens of the populous counties of the state.
USR17-0053, Kerr-McGee Gathering, Page 10 of 11
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and person moving into these
areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this development. Often times, mineral
resource sites are fixed to their geographical and geophysical locations. Moreover, these resources
are protected property rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to extract the
mineral resource.
26. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties
in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total market value of
agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are
intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there
are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of
services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to
relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the
rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban
dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from
animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting and
trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and
fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural
producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their
agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a
visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides
that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural
operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably
associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development.
When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from
irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice
the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of
state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served
stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on
patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses,
including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who
must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how
often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow
removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days
after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal
services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm
equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center
pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and
open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their
safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on November 21, 2017, at
12:30 p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on December
6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration
Building, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in
attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County
Commissioners may have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at
