WELD COUNTY, COLORADO,
LOCATION: WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 93; ONE MILE NORTH OF CR 84.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 23-
2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect. Section 22-5-100.A. (OG.Goal 1.) states
"Promote the reasonable and orderly exploration and development of oil and gas mineral
resources;"and
Section 22-5-100.B.(OG.Goal 2.)states"Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources
conserves the land and minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing
surrounding land uses;"and
Section 22-6-20.C.1. ECON.Policy 3.1. "County activities and regulation should protect the
rights of private property owners and the public health, safety and welfare, recognizing that
these basic rights and protections allow the free market to prosper and grow the local
economy."
Sterling Energy is a business that is in the midstream segment of the natural gas industry. As
part of its business, Sterling Energy gathers natural gas from wellheads, performs gas
processing,and transmits final products to customers via pipelines. In Weld County, Sterling
Energy operates an expanding network of gathering pipelines and one gas processing plant.
The DJ Basin area has recently seen rapid expansion as new drilling technologies are
allowing more oil and gas to be produced. As a result,gas gathering and processing capacity
needs to be expanded in order to meet the growing production. To meets these needs,
Sterling Energy is proposing,the Hill compressor station necessitated by the need to move
larger volumes of gas due to the recent increases in drilling activity and projected additional
production increases anticipated by producers. Further, this need is based on new
technology for uncovering natural gas discoveries and the ability of the DJ Basin to expand
based on these new technologies. The proposed compressor will be sited on private property
leased to Sterling Energy Investments, LLC. This proposal has been reviewed by the
appropriate referral agencies and it has been determined that the attached Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the
protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and
County, and will address and mitigate impacts on the surrounding area due to the
construction of this facility.

area. Staff has received no letters,telephone calls or electronic mail from interested parties.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future

compressor site. Ongoing agricultural activities will continue on lands not impacted by this
proposed facility. The proposed facility is sited on lands that are designated"High Potential
Dry Cropland—Prime of they become Irrigated" lands on the Important Farmlands of Weld
County map dated 1979.

31. 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.
32. 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.
