Weld County requests funding to improve approximately four miles of WCR 390 from a gravel to a paved road
( phase 1 ) . This project, along with phase 2 , will complete the paving of WCR 390 . Phase 1 extends from WCR
104 to WCR 110 . 5 . Phase 2 will extend from WCR 110 .5 to WCR 118 . WCR 390 is a 30 mile collector road
extending across the northeastern part of the County . WCR 390 experiences significant oil and gas truck
activity . In 2009 , the Weld County Commissioners implemented Public Works ' Oil & Gas Haul Route Program
( HARP) . The program uses direct distribution severance tax dollars on roads significantly impacted by oil and
gas activity . However, these even with these funds , the County struggles to keep up with road damage . The
County cannot afford to pave every road and increased truck traffic is making it difficult to maintain existing
roads . Therefore , Public Works is focusing efforts where the majority of traffic is , which are collector and arterial
roadways . For this project, Public Works will use cement-treated base (CTB ) to reinforce the subgrade ( below the
asphalt) in order to support truck traffic . By using CTB this will support the high truck traffic volumes along this
corridor. Please see the attached map and the photographs at the end of this application .

D . PROJECT INFORMATION .
The statutory purpose of the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to
" political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of
minerals and mineral fuels . "
1 . Demonstration of Need :
a . Why is the protect needed at this time?
This project is needed to improve safety . WCR 390 is located in the Niobrara Play , which is experiencing a lot of
production/activity . Except for portions of WCR 390 and WCR 77 , all roads in the Niobrara Play are gravel
making the area difficult to maintain a reasonable level of service. In order to handle the very high truck traffic
volumes , which have been as high as 70% in some sections , this road is structurally deficient to support current
traffic volumes and is in dire need of improvement. Weld County requests paving WCR 390 from the subgrade in
order to support oil and gas activity .
b. How does the implementation of this project address the need ?
Implementation of this project addresses the immediate need for road safety improvements by paving WCR 390 .
c . Does this project, as identified in this application , completely address the stated need ? If not, please describe
additional work or phases and the estimated time frame . Do you anticipate requesting Energy and Mineral Impact
Assistance funds for future phases?
Yes , this project addresses the identified need . Due to costs and manpower, this project is being split into two
phases . Phase 2 will complete the project. We anticipate applying for Phase 2 in the next grant cycle.
d . What other implementation options have been considered ?
The County is using a significant amount of oil and gas property taxes and direct distribution severance funds
for county-wide road improvements . This funding assists Public Works road improvements , which have
increased significantly . In order to keep up with road improvements , Weld County has hired additional crews and
acquired more equipment to help offset oil and gas impacts .
e . What are the consequences if the protect is not awarded funds?
If funding is not awarded , WCR 390 will continue to deteriorate and become an even worse safety problem . Dust
and soft spots will worsen and the county may have to reduce the speed limit and continue signing the area with
" Road Damage Ahead " signs .
2 . Measurable Outcomes :
a . Describe measurable outcomes you expect to see when implementation of this project is complete . How will the
project enhance the livability* of your region , county , city , town or community (e . g . constructing a new water plant will
eliminate an unsafe drinking water system and provide safe and reliable drinking water; the construction of a new
community center will provide expanded community services , or projects achieving goals regarding energy conservation ,
community heritage , economic development/diversification , traffic congestion , etc . ) ?
*( Livability means increasing the value and/or benefit in the areas that are commonly linked in community development such
as jobs , housing , transportation , education , emergency mitigation , health and environment)
Due to the limited amount of roads in the north , the value of WCR 390 is significant. The improvements will make
the area safer for all motorists and add years of life to the existing roadway by using new technology at the
subgrade level , which will help with truck traffic deterioration .
b . How many people will benefit from the project? ( i . e . , region , county , city , town , community , subdivision , households or
specific area or group ; or any portion thereof)
WCR 390 is a collector road . Traffic volumes range from approximately 278 — 634 vehicles per day with 65 - 71
percent being heavy truck traffic (2016 count) .
c . How will the outcome of the project be measured to determine whether the anticipated benefits to this population
actually occur?
Upon completion , traffic counts will continue to be collected to determine if traffic increases .
d . Does this project preserve and protect a historic building , facility or structure ? If yes , please describe .
Year of construction :
N/A, no historic building , facility , or structure is involved in the project.
e . Will this project implement an energy efficiency/strategy that could result in less carbon footprint or conserve energy
gY
use or capitalize on renewable energy technology? If yes , please describe .
Yes , by improving the road from gravel to paved , you significantly improve the air quality by reducing particulate
emission matter generated from fugitive dust.
3 . Relationship to Community Goals
a . Is the project identified in the applicant's budget or a jurisdictionally approved plan (e . g . capital improvement plan ,
equipment replacement plan , comprehensive plan , utility plan , road maintenance and improvement plan or other local or
regional strategic management or planning document) ? What is its ranking ?
Page 4 of 9
Revised 2. 20. 15
Yes , this project has been identified in Public Works general fund budget.
4. Local Commitment and Ability to Pay/Local Effort
a . Why can 't this protect be funded locally?
In anticipation of budget cutbacks from falling oil prices , Weld County cut back funds to the Harp Program , which
means less roads can be improved . During PW CIP , the Commissioners said WCR 390 is a priority Harp project
they would like completed by 2018 . Therefore, in order to ensure completion , funding assistance is needed .
b . Has this project been deferred because of lack of local funding ? If so , how long ?
Yes , due to the overall length and cost of WCR 390 , this project has been deferred many times . Public Works has
broken up the corridor into multiple phases and partnered with surrounding municipalities in order to complete
different phases . Weld County really began phasing this corridor in 2009 and hopes to complete it by 2018 .
c . Explain the origin of your local cash match . ( Note : Whenever possible , local government cash match on a dollar for
dollar match basis is encouraged . )
The project will be funded out of Public Works General Fund . The Commissioners typically fund the HARP
program annually with $4 million , but reduced it to $2 ,800 ,000 in 2016 . The HARP funds are direct distribution
severance monies budgeted specifically to Public Works .
d . What other community entities , organizations , or stakeholders recognize the value of this project and are collaborating
with you to achieve increased livability of the community? Please describe how your partners are contributing to achieve
the improvement to the livability of the community through this project. If in -kind contributions are included in the project
budget, detailed tracking will be required on project monitoring report.
All motorists utilizing these roads recognize the value of this safety project. In addition , the road connects the
towns of Hereford , Grover, and Keota . Not only is WCR 390 is also a school bus route for Weld School District
RE-12 , but it is a primary and secondary missile route for the US Air Force .
i . Please describe the level of commitment by each collaborator. (e . g . fee waivers , in -kind services , fundraising , direct
monetary contribution , policy changes . )
Weld County will use the grant funds to leverage the cost of materials to construct the improvements . Weld
County crews will provide the labor and equipment to complete the work. The grant cash match will be from
Public Works ' general fund .
ii . Please list the value of the resources that each collaborator is bringing to the program .
e. Has the applicant dedicated the financial resources in their current budget, reserve funds and/or unused debt capacity
that are being used for the local matching funds? Explain if No
Yes , the funds have been dedicated to the 2016 budget. If awarded , Weld County will fund the cash match from
Public Works ' general fund .
f. Have the applicant' s tax rates , user charges or fees been reviewed recently to address funding for the proposed
project?
Weld County has so many impacted roads that all available funding is going into the PW General Fund/HARP
program to improve as many county roads as possible . This grant would help offset the cost of materials for this
project.
g . If the tax rate , user charges or fees were modified , what was the modification and when did this change occur?
Weld County has been directing the revenues from the Specific Ownership Tax to Public Works since 1985 .
h . Has the applicant contacted representatives from local energy or mineral companies to discuss the project? If yes ,
when was the contact and what was discussed .
Yes , HARP roads are discussed at Weld County 's Oil and Gas Working Group regular meetings . The O&G
Working Group is made up of industry partners where we discuss impacts affecting us all and problem solve
how we can work together to minimize or remediate problems . _
i . Has the applicant requested financial support from the industry? If yes , when was the contact, what amount did you
request? What were the results? If no , why not?
Yes , but the industry typically helps Weld County projects with in -kind support such as water hauling , gravel ,
trucking , and stock piling .
5 . Readiness to Go
a . Assuming this project is funded as requested , how soon will the project begin ? Select One (X )Within 3 months ,
(_) 3-6 months , (_)6-9 months or (_) 9- 12 months? What is the time frame for completion ? Select One (_)Within 3 months ,
(_) 3-6 months , (_)6-9 months , (_) 9- 12 months or (_) > 12 months .
b. Describe how you determined that the project can be completed within the proposed budget as outlined in this
application ? Are contingencies considered within the project budget?
The budget has been estimated by professional engineers . If the project exceeds the estimate , the County may
need to reduce project scope .
c . Has the necessary planning been completed ? How? What additional design work or permitting must still be
Page 5 of 9
Revised 2. 20. 15
completed , if any? When ? How did the applicant develop project cost estimates? Is the project supported by bids ,
professional estimates or other credible information ? Please attach a copy of any supporting documents .
Since the construction project occurs within the existing right-of-way limits no design is needed .
6 . Energy & Mineral Relationship
a . Describe how the applicant is , has been , or will be impacted by the development, production , or conversion of energy
and mineral resources .
Weld County accounts for more than fifty percent of all oil and gas activity for the entire state and therefore is
extremely impacted . Much of the road 's traffic is due to oil and gas trucks .
b . To further document the impact in the area , name the company or companies involved , the number of employees
associated with the activities impacting the : urisdiction and other relevant, quantitative indicators of energy/mineral impact.
Companies with wells in the area include : Predominately Noble Energy and Whiting .
7 . Management Capacity
a . How will you separate and track expenditures , maintain funds and reserves for the capital expenditures and
improvements as described in this project?
Weld County 's Accounting Department is recognized as a Tier 3 local government by the State and can manage
all invoicing information through Banner Accounting System . In addition , Public Works will use the project
management software PubWorks to assist in administering the project.
b . Describe the funding plan in place to address the new operating and maintenance expenses generated from the
project?
Weld County will continue to utilize the Highway Users Tax Fund ( HUTF ) for maintenance expenses .
c . Describe the technical and professional experience/expertise of the person ( s ) and/or professional firms responsible to
manage this project.
Weld County Public Works has several engineers on staff and proven expertise in roadway improvement
projects . Elizabeth Relford , Transportation Manager, will be responsible for managing this project.
d . Does the project duplicate service capacity already established ? Is the service inadequate? Has consolidation of
services with another provider been considered ?
This is a safety project and does not duplicate service capacity but creates it. Current service is inadequate and
inefficient to meet existing traffic demands .
