2.0 Road Improvements Responsibilities: Property Owner is solely responsible for all
designated improvements and for all expenses associated therewith.
3.0 Timing of Improvements: Subject to the provisions of Weld County Code and any
conditions or considerations granted by the Board of County Commissioners, Property Owner shall
not be required to complete the aforementioned offsite improvements until the occurrence of the
triggering event for each improvement, namely the application for the Grading Permit, Building
Permit or Right -Of -Way access permit or the commencement of activities on the property(s).
B . Haul/Travel Routes
1.0 Established Haul Routes from the facility access point:
1.1 Exiting or entering the site: haul vehicles shall enter or exit the site at the approved
accesses onto CR 86 for further dispersal. Any County roads routinely utilized by USR
haul traffic may become part of the established haul routes.
1.2 No haul vehicles may exceed CDOT required specifications for pounds per
axle.
1.3 In unusual or rare occasions, if particular projects mandate deviation from the above -
mentioned haul route, the County may approve a deviation for a limited period of time
(not more than thirty days). If County approves such deviation, haul vehicles will utilize
paved county roads whenever possible. A deviation from the established Haul route
lasting more than thirty (30) days or requests for two or more deviations within a twelve
month period shall be subject to the terms of Section B.4.0. In the event that haul route
traffic, in excess of 15% of the daily facility haul vehicle trips, utilizes alternate haul
routes, the provisions of Section 4.0 of this Section B shall be triggered.

MUTCD standards, at all exit points of the Property which can be clearly seen by drivers leaving
the facility and which clearly depict County approved haul routes.
4.0 Effect of Future Changes to Haul Routes: Any future changes to haul routes requiring use
of unpaved County road may require dust control or paving of such roads, as defined by an
amended agreement. In such circumstance, County will determine the proportionate share of dust
control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property Owner based upon then current vehicle trip
counts that identify traffic loading due to Property Owner's facility. The amount and extent of dust
control and/or paving measures will be determined by site -specific conditions at the time, as
determined exclusively by County personnel.
5.0 Off -Site Dust Control/Abatement: The Property Owner is required to provide dust
abatement along affected Haul Route Roads approximately two to five times per year, as
determined by the County. County will determine the proportionate share of dust control to be paid

by Property Owner. The amount and extent of dust control measures will be determined by site -
specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County personnel. The County
reserves the right to install traffic counters on the driveway(s) of the Property Owner's facility. The
County will have sole responsibility for determination of the percentage of haul route traffic on all
affected roads.
6.0 Obligation to Maintain Current and Future Haul Routes: Property Owner will be financially
responsible for the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or future haul route
roads, which in the sole opinion of County has been created by vehicle traffic to and from the
Property. Should Property Owner's site activities or vehicle circulation patterns change in the
future so that County approves an alternate haul route, and all or a significant portion of Property
Owner's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the above -described haul route and instead utilizes other
portions of County roads, Property Owner shall cooperate with County in maintenance of said roads
which are included within the new haul route. The type and method of repair will be determined by
the County Engineer or his representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification
by the County for any roadway damage that exposes the driving public to adverse or unsafe driving
conditions. All other repairs shall commence within thirty (30) days of receipt of Weld County's
written notice.
6.1 Need for Immediate Repairs: In the event of damage to an Approved Haul Route by
Project traffic that causes an immediate threat to public health and safety or renders the
road impassible ("Significant Damage"), County shall, after inspection, notify Property
Owner of such Significant Damage. Property Owner shall identify the repair required
and shall consult with County on the extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair
(i.e. temporary versus permanent) within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such
notice and shall commence such repair within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such
notice. If such repair is not commenced within such forty-eight (48) hour period,
County shall have the right to draw on the Road Maintenance Collateral and use such
funds to perform such repair. If Property Owner identifies Significant Damage prior to
receiving notice thereof from County, Property Owner may commence repair of such
Significant Damage and shall concurrently notify County of the extent, type, timing,
materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary versus permanent).
6.2 Repair of Road: On or before December 31 of the calendar year in which County staff
has determined through site analysis and/or pavement testing that a particular haul route
road portion will require paving measures in order to protect the public health, safety,
and welfare, and has budgeted sufficient funds for the following calendar year to pay its
share of the Off -Site Improvement/Repair Costs, County shall notify Property Owner in
writing that the Off -Site Improvements/Repairs shall be undertaken. Within ninety (90)
days of its receipt of County's notice of the need to undertake the road maintenance
repairs and/or improvements, Property Owner shall submit Off -Site Construction Plans
and Cost Estimates to County for review. Property Owner shall have sole responsibility
for the completion of the repairs and/or improvements on or before December 15 of the
year following County's notice of the need for repairs.

7.0 Annual Road Inspection: County will conduct a road inspection annually with the
cooperation of Property Owner and all other Property Owner and/or Lessees who are required by
County to participate in road improvement/maintenance agreements. As a result of the annual
inspection, County, in its sole discretion, shall determine actual conditions and shall further
determine what road repair/improvement/maintenance work is to be performed during that
construction season. Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway repairs will be
given as soon as the data becomes available.
8.0 Future Improvements to Haul Routes: If traffic volume or conditions require future
improvements to be made to the haul route(s), including intersections, the County may require
Property Owner to pay a proportionate share of the cost of the entire project. Future improvements
will be subject to any Federal, State or County regulations in place at the time the improvement
project is initiated. Safety improvements to help prevent truck traffic from turning into oncoming
traffic, at the intersections of CR 115 and CR 86, and CR 113 and CR 86, will need to be installed
when triggers are met.
Due to the increased traffic volumes at the facility below is a list of triggers for the improvements
for the upgrading, widening, and/or paving of County maintained CR 86 near the facility entrance:
a. 200 vehicles per day Mag-Chloride
b. 300 vehicles per day Alternate Pavement
c. 400 vehicles per day Asphalt Pavement
Other roadways Improvements may be triggered due to heavy truck traffic associated with
the facility including additional turn lanes onto CR 86; the following is a list of the triggers
for turn lanes:
a. 25vph turning right into the facility during a peak hour.
b. 50 vph turning right out of the facility during a peak hour.
c. 10vph turning left into the facility during a peak hour.
9.0 Future Road Replacement: At any time in the future, if, in the opinion of County, road
damage increases beyond the point that repair of damage cannot maintain the road in a safe and
usable condition, Property Owner shall pay a proportionate cost of a complete road restoration.
Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway replacements will be given as soon as
the data becomes available and typically takes place before the end of the year prior to the start of
the replacement project.
10.0 Proportionate Share of Road Maintenance Responsibilities:
10.1 Property Owner shall pay its Proportionate Share of costs of dust control/abatement,
paving, repairs, maintenance, improvements, or future road replacement of any
particular Haul Route Road. Property Owner's Proportionate Share shall be based upon
the percentage of traffic on the road that is attributable to Property Owner's facility.
County personnel will determine the percentage based on then current Equivalent Single
Axle Load (ESAL) Counts. Property Owner shall not be responsible for traffic that is not
sourced from the Property Owner's facility.

grade and/or pave, if applicable, specified roadways, accesses, easements and parking areas, and

3.0 Timing of Improvements: Subject to the provisions of Weld County Code and any
conditions or considerations granted by the Board of County Commissioners, Property Owner shall
not be required to initiate any applicable landscaping requirements until the occurrence of the
triggering event for all improvements, namely the approval of the grading permit or an amendment
to the existing USR. Except with prior County consent, no grading permit will be released until
collateral is posted for all off -site improvements and the final Construction Plans have been
submitted to and accepted by the Department of Public Works. Access and/or Right -Of -Way
permits might also be required prior to approval of the grading permit. Grading shall not commence
until Construction Plans are accepted. Any alterations to the accepted Construction Plans must be
