From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR16-0006 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV15-00102)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a Commercial Trucking, more than 2 commercial vehicles
(or at least commercially registered)without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits.
This case has been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office and we have initiated legal action;
therefore, an investigation fee is required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints.
If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners it will correct this outstanding
violation. If this application is denied, the Department of Planning Services asks that the Board forward
this case to the County Attorney's Office for legal action through the District Court process, but to delay
that legal action for 30 (thirty)days to allow the applicant time to remove all but 1 Commercial Vehicle.

NOTICE OF OIL AND GAS LEASEHOLD INTERESTS OWNED BY KERR-McGEE
OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP AND OBJECTION
Re: USR16-0006
Red Oilfield Services, LLC—Property Owner or Applicant
Township 1 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M.
Section 28: Part of the E/2NE/4 ("Application Property")
Weld County, Colorado
Ms. Aungst:
This letter is being sent to inform you that Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP
("KMG" or the "Company") is the owner of valid oil and gas leases underlying all or parts of
Section 28, Township 1 North, Range 66 West ("Leased Lands"), for which Weld County is
reviewing USR16-0006. KMG is submitting this comment and objection, in accordance with
the County's requirements.
KMG's recorded oil and gas leases are real property interests entitling it to produce oil
and gas from the Leased Lands (and, as may be applicable, adjacent lands). The Company has
the right to utilize the Application Property to produce from existing wells, to maintain,
rework, recomplete, and fracture those existing wells to enhance production, and to drill new
wells to produce oil and gas, in accordance with applicable Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission regulations and Colorado Statutes. KMG's oil and gas assets have significant
value, and the Company is consequently concerned about any development, surface use, plan
of use, PUD, zoning or rezoning, or other action by the County that would impair or preclude
its ability to develop its oil and gas interests.
KMG's preferred practice is to meet with surface owners and attempt to conclude a
mutually acceptable agreement. KMG must object to any approval by the County for the
Applicant's plans that fail to fully accommodate KMG's right to explore for, develop and
produce oil and gas from its leasehold interests or the Leased Lands. KMG requests that the
County withhold approval until such time as the Applicant and KMG have concluded an
agreement. Any future surface development plans on the Application Property should
incorporate and designate lands to be set aside for mineral development and expressly provide
protection for KMG's current and future wells, pipelines, gathering lines and related oil and
gas facilities and equipment. Weld County has a statutory obligation to ensure that the
property rights of mineral interest owners are accommodated in its land use planning process.
Approval of any surface development plan that forecloses the rights of mineral and leasehold
owners may be a compensable taking.
Please contact me at 970-515-1186 if you have any questions or comments about this
matter. KMG hopes to conclude a mutually acceptable agreement with the surface owner of
the property, and we look forward to working with the County to accomplish its land use
planning goals.
Sincerely,
KERR-MCGEE OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP

Re: Weld County Referral USR16-0006
Dear Ms. Aungst:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed project
for a vehicle support facility for an oil field roustabout business. District Wildlife Manager
Chris Mettenbrink reviewed the plans for the proposed project and has made a visit to the site
to assess any potential impact the project may have on wildlife.
The proposed project site is inhabited by a colony of prairie dogs. There are many burrows
spread throughout the property. In addition to prairie dogs, there are other wildlife species
that are dependent upon prairie dogs and their burrows for food, nesting, and raising their
young. The primary species of concern is the burrowing owl. Burrowing owls begin arriving on
the breeding grounds in Colorado in late March or early April with nesting a few weeks later.
Burrowing owls will utilize prairie dog burrows for nesting and raising their young. If
construction initiation is to begin between March 15th to October 31s`, we recommend that the
prairie dog town be surveyed for burrowing owls. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a set of
standards for surveying for burrowing owls which can be found at the following link:
http://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/WildlifeSpecies/Profiles/BUOWSurveyProtocol2007.pdf.
If the applicant is not able to perform the survey, a wildlife consultant should be utilized to
perform the necessary survey to prevent any take of burrowing owls.
In addition, prior to any dirt work being performed, any prairie dogs in the footprint of the
construction site should be humanely euthanized according to USDA standards. Once the
prairie dogs have been euthanized, their burrows should be back filled to prevent other
prairie dogs or other wildlife such as burrowing owls from occupying the burrows.
If burrowing owls are detected on the property, the applicant should contact District Wildlife
Manager Chris Mettenbrink at 303-906-1979 for advice on how to proceed with the proposed
project. Any other questions regarding wildlife on the property may be direct to Chris as well.
