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 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. 30. 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 RESOLUTION USR15-0057 BRUCE SANDAU. C/O GREEN EARTH ENVIRONMENTAL. INC PAGE 9 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. le SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday.
