Sec. 33 T6N R67W SUBJECT: Zone change "I" to "A-UD" and Open Cut Mining Permit APPEARANCE: Jim Mueller DISCUSSION: Mr. Mueller explained that this request is to allow Eastman Kodak to have an economical source of film material for future building. Comprises approximately 15 acres. While it will be a long term use, the actual period of time that work will be done is six to eight weeks. There will be three to eighteen month periods when no work at all is done. This is located in the bluffs along Kodak' s south property line, After completion of this project, approximately 10 acres will be used as irrigated farmland. No pit is involved. Water table will not be exposed. Mr. Mueller has recommendations from the Soil Conservation Service for seeding, topsoiling, etc. These recommendations are included on the plat, Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1 ) The request is in compliance with the Weld County Com- prehensive Plan and the Weld County Extraction Plan, Mineral Resources Volume II. The area in question is non-irrigated. The Weld County Extraction Plan states that extraction shall be accomodated in non-irrigated areas so long as appropriate extraction and reclama- tion standards are followed. The extraction and reclamation stan- dards are set forth which comply with County standards on the plats; 2) The Weld County Health Department has indicated the proposal is in compliance with the State Health Standards and regulations; and 3) The Town of Windsor has indicated the town has no objections to the proposal . ADDITIONS TO EXTRACTION STANDARDS: 1 ) Any new access onto County Road 62 shall be approved by the Weld County Engineering Department prior to installation. CHANGE TO RECLAMATION STANDARDS: 1 . Reclamation standard number 2 shall be changed to read, "Final slopes shall be 3: 1 minimum." This is a result of a recommendation from the Colorado Geological Survey. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval of this zone change request from "I" to "A-UD" subject to staff recommendations.

SW4 SW4 Sec. 16 T5N R65W SUBJECT: "E" to "C" , Final Site Plan and Recorded Exemption APPEARANCE: Doug Sears • DISCUSSION: Mr. Sears explained that this is the property at the intersection where Highway 34 will go east from U.S. 85 Bypass and 1st Avenue. There is just a little over 10 acres in the parcel . The Weld County and Greeley Comprehensive Plans do call for industrial useage in this area. Mike Nabors, McDoy Distributing , was with Mr. Sears. He is an intended user for one of the tracts. This is why application for Recorded Exemption is being made. Mr. Sears explained that it was the Planning staff's recommendation to go through application for Recorded Exemption rather than platting the land. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1 ) The requests comply with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan since the development is adjacent to the City of Greeley and the uses comply with those proposed in the City of Greeley Comprehensive Plan; 2) The City of Greeley has recommended approval of the requests; 3) The Weld County Health Department has indicated the soils in the area are suitable for individual sewage disposal systems; and 4) the Western Hills Fire Department has indi- cated they have no objections to the proposal . RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL IS CONDITIONAL UPON: 1 ) A guarantee that the developer is obtaining water from the City of Greeley and has an approved con- tract for water service and installation of the water line: The developer shall submit said contract to the Department of Planning Services prior to advertisement for the Board of County Commissioners' hearing; 2) The letter as submitted dated July 30, 1976, to be signed by McDoy Distributing Company and Sierra Investment Company prior to advertisement for the Board of County Commissioners' hearing and that portion of said letter in quotes be made a condition of approval in the resolution by the Board of County Commissioners; 3) The Grant of Right-of-Way and Easement" and "Warrenty'Deed" documents being made a part of the approval by the Board of County Commissioners such that copies of the recorded instruments as attached be submitted to the files of the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners subsequent to recordation; 4) Limitation of access onto the future State Highway frontage road to two access points as requested by the State Department of Highways; and 5) Final approval from the City of Greeley on the drainage study submitted for Parcel A of the Recorded Exemption prior to advertisement for the Board of County Commissionrs' hearing. COMMENT: The City of Evans gave no response to the referral sent to them on these requests by Sierra Investments Company. Mr. Sears explained that he was unaware of the requirement for contracting with the City of Greeley for water. The property is within and is being served by a viable water district. He questioned the legality of the County making this requirement. He explained that the City is expanding and picking up boundaries within the water district, but at present, Delta can serve the property. Page 1311 Mr. Honn explained that the applicant had named the City of Greeley as being the source of water. Proof that water is available is all that is necessary. John Watson, representing Industrial Acres, read letter dated July 30, 1976 into record. Industrial Acres strongly opposes rezoning a small piece of property such as this, without giving consideration to the entire area. They feel this is spot-zoning and is not in compliance with Weld County and the City of Greeley Comprehensive Plan. Jim Smith, partner in Industrial Acres, explained that he owns a parcel of land just to the north. He envisions the Planning Commission's role as one of not reacting to a certain situation, but one of leading forward. Basically, Industrial Acres was requesting to be rezoned at the same time as the property of Sierra Investments is. Mr. Heitman explained that the only reason Sierra Investments is being considered today is because they have a specific use in mind and have requested a change of zone. Industrial Acres has not made that type of application. Mr. Smith said it is conceiveable that Industrial Acres could be re- zonelas Residential because there is residential property to the north, or it could be rezoned as commercial because there is commercial property to the south. He feels that Industrial Acres needs a frame- work so they know where they fit in. He is concerned with what type of buffer will be used between properties. Roy Lundvall was also present as a partner in Industrial Acres. Mr. Sears stated that Mr. Watson was talking as though he is a very naive citizen of Weld County, when in fact he has served on the Planning Commission Board for a good many years. He stated that Mr. Watson most definitely knows what is going on because he helped to create the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Sears explained that he had an informal conversation with the partners from Industrial Acres prior to this hearing. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval of this request for change of zone. Motion by J. Ben Nix. Seconded by Chuck Carlson.

Sec. 34 T2N R67W SUBJECT: Gas Processing Facility Expansion APPEARANCE: John Lang, Harry Hickman, and Robert Chinaud DISCUSSION: Mr. Lang gave a lenghty presentation of the request. The plant is located about 4 miles west and 2 mile north of the Town of Ft. Lupton at the intersection of County Roads 14 and 19. Natural Gas which is produced with oil from the spindle and single tree fields is processed here. Liquids which are removed from the gas include ethane, propane, butane and pintane +. These liquids are removed and stabilized and put in a surge tank where they are then delivered from the plant by pipeline. All liquids leave the plant in a mixed stream. The residue gas is sold to Colorado Interstate Gas Company. It also leaves the plant by a buried pipeline. Plant is designed as a completely closed system. There are no specific odors connected with the process. All compressor units are equiped with exhaust silencers and compressor buildings are completed with noise insulation. Proposed addition to the plant involves the addition of six compressors and some plant processing equipment. The plant processing equipment would increase the plant capacity approximately twelve million cubic feet per day. The new equipment is indicated to be parallel to existing equipment. Plant is operated on a round- the-clock basis. Water is supplied by a water well at a plant site in the vicinity of the plant office. No expansion of the water supply will -be required. No additional road requirements are necessary as a result of this proposed expansion. Robert Chinaud, Engineering Dynamics Incorporated, was consulted by Amoco to survey the noise increase. The new compressors will actually be farther away from the existing residences. The survey shows the existing noise level at 53 decibels. The increase in compressors would create an increase of 2 decibels in noise level . Mr. Lang explained that acoustical barriers can be installed on the stacks of the compressors to help with the noise problem. Dr. Chinaud will be designing these barriers. Planning Commission staff indicated that it would be desirable to have some type of screening on the site. Mr. Lang explained that the site is well maintained and is actually weed free. Mr. Lang also explained that trees had been planted on the site in the past, but when the site was sprayed to kill the weeds, the spray also killed the trees. Page 1313 Weld County Planning Commission staff recommends the request be tabled for the following reasons: 1 ) Letters of opposition to this proposed expansion have been received from August Gittlein, William Gittlein, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Sickler. Copies of those letters are included in an attached packet; 2) Noise has been identified as one of the problems in the area by the surround- ing property owners. The Planning Commission staff has requested a noise study be done which would indicate: A. The noise level of the existng operation; B. The noise level of the facility with the proposed expansion; and C. How these noise levels com- pare with acceptable noise level ratings at the perimeter of the Special Use Permit area and also at the nearby residences. The requested noise study has not been presented to date; 3) In December, 1972 when the Special Use Permit was granted for the original facility, there was to be a landscape screen planted around the perimeter of the area. According to Amoco, trees were planted, but later died from a dust applied to control weeds on the internal area of the facility. The Planning Commission staff has requested the applicant to develop a landscape plan for visual and noise screening purposes to be plantediaround the perimeter of the Special Use Permit area to be in compliance with the recommendation of the Soil Conservation Service. This has not been done to date; and 4) Another sheet to the Special Use Permit plans needs to be submitted to include the proper certificates and development standards. William Gittlein was present. He lives on Road 19 just south of the plant. He was concerned about the noise, dust and traffic. He stated that a good percentage of the traffic is related to the plant. Dr. -Chinaud explained his ideas for designing noise barriers. He stated that the increase in noise would not be very detectable with the addition of new compressors. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval of this request, subject to the noise levels being improved. Motion by Bill Elliott. Seconded by Percy Hiatt. A vote of "aye" by Elliott, Carlson, Weigand, Heitman, Hiatt, Nix , and Kountz. MOTION CARRIED. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to The Board of County Commissioners that the Noise Level Report be updated. Motion by John Weigand. Seconded by Mr. Nix.

SW4 Sec. 5 T3N R68W SUBJECT: Single Family Residence APPEANCE: Mr. Linson Page 1314 DISCUSSION: This item was tabled at the July 20, 1976 Planning Commission meeting, Mr, Linson has submitted a letter from Carol Lee to the Planning Commission attempting to establish that Mr. Linson was doing as he had been instructed during the time that Ms. Lee was Zoning Administrator. The Weld County Planning staff recommends denial for the following reasons: 1 ) The proposal at hand is inconsistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The Plan states that agriculture is a resource in Weld County which must be protected from the impacts of urban growth. To accomplish this objective, the plan states that urban residential , commercial , and industrial uses will be encouraged, to located around existing urban centers so that their impacts will be minimized, and so that the cost of providing the services associated with such uses will be minimized to the greatest extent possible. Inthe pending proposal , the pro- posed use is not an agriculturally related use, but is an urban residential use proposed for a predominately agricultural area. The proposal sets forth no evidence that the use is related to in- tended agricultural uses of the land in question. The subject property is in fact one of several approximately 35-acre parcels which were split out of the SW of Section 5, Township 3 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M. , since 1972 when said quarter section was one agricultural unit. The land in question consists primarily of Class II soils which are classified as prime agricultural soils by the Soil Conservation Service. The area could easily support agricultural uses if urban encroachment on the land does not occur; 2) The granting of this request would enhance the conflict between basically incompatible uses, i . e. the traditional conflicts between urban and agricultural uses; 3) If such urban residential uses, as proposed in the pending appl4cation are allowed to occur, the cost of providing services to such rural areas can only be increased, thus resulting in over- all increased costs to the taxpayer. As stated by the Weld county Comprehensive Plan, such uses should be encouraged to locate around existing urban centers, where the base for providing such services is already established; and 4) Finally, if such development is encouraged, more and more agricultural lands will be split into parcels which are basically too small to support viable farm operations, and too large to be maintained properly by those who work in the city but live in the country. As a result of the latter factor, additional conflicts with surrounding agricultural uses occur. Tom Honn explained that the Planning Commission staff has not been able to understand where the deeds describing the property match the description submitted by Carol Lee. The property itself is not divided by the ditches. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commisisoners denial of this request based on staff recommendations. Motion by J. Ben Nix. Seconded by Bette Kountz. A vote of "aye" by Elliott, Carlson, Weigand, Heitman, Hiatt, Nix. and Kountz. MOTION CARRIED. Page 1315 • Mr. Linson then asked if he could make a trade-off with Loffsinger for some land in Mead would he be able to obtain a single family residence. The trade-off would bring his property up to 70 acres. He explained that he still feels like he is taking the rapp for a mistake that was made by County offices. Meeting adjourned.

APPLICANT: Richard Geisert Tape 632 (#1848-2008) CASE NUMBER: Z-275 and S-123 LOCATION: Pt. Sec. 4 and Pt. Sec. 5 T5N R65W SUBJECT: "C" to "I-UD" and Preliminary Plat APPEARANCE: Gary Sears DISCUSSION: The Planning staff sent a letter to Denver to check on the mineral deposit on this property. This item was tabled at the July 20th, 1976, meeting. The Weld County Planning staff now recommends approval for the following reasons: 1 ) Although the Colorado Geo- logical Survey has indicated that the mineral deposit under the subject property is a deposit of commercial value, the Planning Commission staff does not feel that it is commercially feasible to extract the gravel resource for the following reasons: A) The existing land use (residential and commercial ) in the immediate area would not be compatible with gravel extraction on the subject property; B) Extraction would not be compatible with the existing zoning (Estate, Commercial and Industrial ) in the adjacent areas es- pecially with regards to the extensive Estate District located immediately to the north; and C) Development of a gravel pit operation Page 1307 on the subject property would not be in conformance with the per- mitted uses proposed for the area under the City of Greeley Compre- hensive Plan. The subject property is proposed to be a light in- dustrial district. Gravel extraction is permitted only in conserva- tion districts; 2) The Weld County Utility Advisory Board has recommended approval of the utility plat on July 29, 1976; 3) The Weld County Health Department has indicated the subject area can support individual on-lot sewage disposal systems; 4) The Western Hills Fire Department has indicated they have no objections to the proposal provided the fire protection provisions are followed as shown on the plans; 5) The Weld County Building Inspection Division indicated they have no objections provided there is adequate flood- proofing design for the proposed development and 6) the City of Greeley Planning Commission has recommended approval of the zone change and preliminary plat. Tom Honn explained that the uses would be listed in the County Zoning Regulations under both Commercial and Industrial Districts, but would have to be compatible with the City of Greeley' s light industrial zone regulations. Final Site Plans and Parking will have to be reviewed by the County and the City at time of submittal . Mr. Sears stated he has talked with the City some more, and there is good possibility that he will be making application to the City for sewer. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners approval of this request for a change of zone from "C" to "I-UD" . Motion by Tim Weigand. Seconded by J. Ben Nix. A vote of "AYE" by Elliott, Weigand, Heitman, Hiatt, Nix, and Kountz. MOTION CARRIED.

NW14 Sec. 13 T6N R65W SUBJECT: Greyhound training track APPEARANCE: Earl Anderson DISCUSSION: Mr. Anderson explained that he has been in the business of training greyhounds for 10 years. It is a competitive business and he can't compete unless he is equiped to do so. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1 ) The request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan in that it is compatible with the area and surrrounding land uses; 2) The Weld County Engineering Department indicated there were no anticipated engineering problems; 3) The Weld County Health Department has indicated that the proposed operation is in conformance with all applicable State Health Standards and regulations; 4) The Cache La Poudre Reservoir Company has indi- cated the ditch company has no objections to the greyhound training track; 5) The applicant has submitted a petition form signed by the majority of the surrounding property owners. Our office has not received any opposition from any of the remaining property owners in the area; and 6) The Soil Conservation Service has indicated the soils in the area pose no problems for the proposed operation. Page 1308 Development standards were read into record. Mr. Anderson explained that the cost of this track (without ground) is approximately $20,000. There will be no expansion in the number of dogs. Other trainers in the area will also use the track. Traffic will not be increased by this track. Mr. Anderson explained that training will be com- pleted by 10:00 each morning because the dogs can't run in the heat of the day. The track will be used as long as possible except for months when the ground is frozen. There is no other facility like this in Colorado. This facility was approved for Mr. Anderson's own use and has already been constructed. Construction was started last April . Mr. Anderson does not feel that this will encourage other breeders to come into this area. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners, approval of this request for a dog training track. Motion by Bill Elliott. Seconded by Percy Hiatt. A vote of "aye" by Elliott, Carlson, Weigand, Heitman, Hiatt, Nix, and Kountz. MOTION CARRIED. APPLICANT: Clarence Evers PC 632 (#2155-2250) CASE NUMBER: Z-267 LOCATION: Pt. SE4 Sec. 3 T2N R68W SUBJECT: Extention of Zone Change "A" to "C" APPEARANCE: Clarence Evers DISCUSSION: Mr. Evers explained that the property was zoned "C" for only six months. Now he would like for it to be permanently zoned as Commercial . The property is for sale, but there is no specific plan for its use. Property all the way around it is zoned commercial . Ramada Inn is to the west of this property (Del Camino Area). Mr. Fortner explained that when this property was before the Commission several months ago it had been misrepresented as commercial several times because of the other zoning around it. Basically, there is no land- there that can really be used for agricultural purposes. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1 ) The original commercial zoning of the contiguous property to the east and a portion of this parcel did not conform to the proposed lines at the time of rezoning. (Part of the parcel was zoned C and part A); 2) The proposed change of zoning is com- patible with surrounding zoning which is all commercial ; and 3) The proposed change of zone would not effect the commercial value of any gravel deposits because of the small acreage involved and be- cause all surrounding zoning prohibits mineral extraction. RECOMMENDA- TION OF APPROVAL IS CONDITIONAL UPON: 1 ) The applicant shall sub- mit a final site plan and construction schedule to be reviewed by the Weld County Planning Commission and approved by the Board of County Commissioners prior to development on the subject property; 2) The applicant shall comply with all of the conditions under which the commercial zoning was granted except that the subject property shall have a permanent commercial zoning classification.

" On August 3, 1976 , the Planning Commission recommended approval of Amoco's application for expansion of the ' Spindle Plant , contingent upon the condition that such expansion would not increase the noise level at nearby residences . The addendum indicates that this condition can be met. Amoco will install the equipment necessary to comply with this condition . We would appreciate your arranging for our hearing before the Board of County Commissioners at an early date. Very truly yours , John E. Lang JEL/dw attachment , Additional information acquired from discussion with John Lang on July 13, 1976: 1 . With the new facilities, the maximum number of employees will be 19. This is an increase of seven over the existing number of employees. 2. Existing facilities at the spindle facility have an output of 37 MMCFD. This expansion will add 12 MMCFD to the capacity. 3. Other than the additional traffic generated by the additional 7 employees, There will not be any increase in traffic generated by the expansion. The resource and product are transported via pipeline. a � AMOCO Amoco Production Company • July 12, 1976 Zoning Administrator Weld County Planning Department 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 File: VDP-758-986.641 Re: Spindle Gas Processing Plant Expansion Pursuant to the provisions of the Weld County Zoning Resolution, and the procedures outlined by your office, we are furnishing herewith an application for a Special Use Permit to expand the gas processing facilities in our Spindle Plant, located on a 15 acre tract in the SW/4 SW/4 Section 34, T2N, R67W, 6th P.

I am attaching hereto three copies of a plot plan for the Spindle Gas Plant which reflects some changes which should be made in the plant facility to permit handling additional gas through the facility. As mentioned to you in a recent conversation, the installation of our Spindle Plant was authorized by the Weld County Board of County Commis- sioners in November, 1972. Subsequent to that time, in February, 1973, we recognized a need to make some modifications in the plant to increase the recovery efficiency of the facility. We prepared a revised plot plan indicating the proposed changes and reviewed our proposed modifications with the Planning Director and the County Commissioners at an informal meeting. The Commissioners determined at that time that the installation of our gas facility had been previously authorized and that the County Commissioners' approval of our proposed changes as indicated on the plot plan would provide the necessary authority for us to obtain building permits and proceed with the proposed work. We are again faced with an opportunity to make changes in our facility to increase the recovery of LPG products from the plant. Any changes which result in increased recovery of petroleum products will be beneficial, not only to Amoco, but also to Weld County. We are anxious to proceed with this work as soon as possible, and we will, therefore, appreciate your assistance in helping us to obtain the County Commissioners' approval with the least possible delay. It would appear from the 1973 precedent that an informal review of proposed changes with the Commissioners should suffice and we hope this is the case. Please let me know if we can be of assistance in reviewing the proposed changes with the Commissioners. Thank you. Very tru yours, 89/0E.

Lang AMOCO Production Company Security Life Bldg 1616 Glenarm Place Denver, CO 80202 Dear Mr. Lang: The attached report predicts the increase in ambient sound levels at the two nearest residences to your Spindle Plant, which will result from the proposed addition of six compressors to this plant. The increase is minor (2 dB) and would only be just noticeable more than 50% of the time if the before and after levels were presented in quick succession under laboratory conditions. Under real life conditions, it is highly unlikely that the residents will detect any changes in level. Sincerely, ENGINEERING DYNAMICS, INC. 1721feri-Clelav'a4 Robert C. Chanaud 6651 SOUTH WELLINGTON LITTLETON,COLORADO 80121 (303) 795-5226 PREDICTION OF NOISE LEVELS FROM PROPOSED ADDITION OF SIX COMPRESSORS TO THE EXISTING SPINDLE GAS PLANT OF THE AMOCO PRODUCTION COMPANY I I 1 engne c nng dynamics Inc Introduction The AMOCO Production Company plans to increase the existing number of compressors at their Spindle Gas Plant from eight to a total of fourteen compressors. This report is submitted in response to the request that the increase in sound levels ad- jacent to the nearest residences to the Spindle Gas Plant be assessed . This request was made by Mr. John E. Lang of the AMOCO Production Company. Noise Measurements In preparation for predicting noise levels from a proposed AMOCO station, sound measurements were made surrounding the Spindle Gas Plant. A detailed account of the measurement methodo- logy and analysis is provided in that report to AMOCO dated February 14, 1975 and entitled : Prediction and Control of Poten- tial Noise from AMOCO Production Company, West Spindle Compressor Station. The results included the following sound power (Lw) calculations. Spindle Plant - 4 Compressors Lw to East : 105. 5 dB Lw to South : 110. 0 dB I I >' ncm cS ' Since the time at which the forementioned measurements were made, the number of compressors at the Spindle Gas Plant, have been increased from four to eight. This resulted in a theoretical increase in sound power of 3 dB. So the sound power levels of the Spindle Gas Plant with the existing increases would be esti- mated at: Spindle Plant- 8 Compressors Lw to East: 108 . 5 dB Lw to South: 113.0 dB The theoretical increase in sound power due to the proposed increase from eight to fourteen compressors is 2.4 dB. There- fore the sound power level at the Spindle Gas Plant with the pro- posed facility increase is : Spindle Plant- 14 Compressors Lw to East: 110.9 dB Lw to South: 115.4 dB Impact Analysis The geographical location of the two closest residences to the existing AMOCO Spindle facility are provided below with respect to the intersection of County Road 14 and 19, which meet at the SW corner of the Spindle Plant: i i F ,r rmq - � y/floTi , , Distances from County Roads 14 and 19 Residence 1 - 1880E and 135 ' S Residence 2 - 725 ' S and 130 'W The acoustic centers of the Spindle Plant (with respect to the intersection of County Roads 14 and 19) are: 240 'E and 240 'N with 8 compressors and 240 ' E and 380 'N with 14 compressors. Given the above distances and sound power levels, the ambient (L90) A-weighted sound levels are predicted as follows: Ambient Sound Levels Predicted at Residences Near the AMOCO Spindle Plant - 8 and 14 Compressors Distance to IL90 at Residences Impact of Proposed Acoustic Centr Due to Spindle Action (Increase Spindle Plant Plant in Ambient Level) ExistingProposedExistingProposed 8 Comp. 14 Comp 8 Comp h.4 Comp Residence 1 1680 ' ' 1720 ' 44dB (A) 46dB (A) 2 dB Residence 2 1030 ' 1060 ' 53dB (A) ' 55dB (A) 2 dB Ambient sound levels measured at these residences compare favorably with the predicted sound levels (for 8 compressors) . The differences result from the presence of additional sound sources, which were noted by the measurement personnel. These sources included insects, birds, aircraft and road traffic. no 6 6J I J Ambient Sound Levels Measured at Residences Near AMOCO Spindle Plant - 8 Compressors Residence 1 Residence 2 Time Interval 16:45- 17 :15- 17 :45- ' 18 :32- 19:02- 19:32- '17 :15 17 :45 18 :15 19:02 19:32 20:02 Measured-L90 (dB (A) ) I 48 42 43 55 56 54 Predicted-L9n (dB (A) )' 44 53 ' Impact Assessment The smallest difference in loudness that a listener can de- tect on 50% of a series of trials is defined as the difference limen (DL) for loudness or the just noticeable difference (j .n.d. ) . The DL for loudness is generally found to be 1 dB. Therefore the predicted change in ambient sound level of 2 dB should be just noticeable more than 50% of the time, if the 2 ambient levels were presented in quick succession for comparison, which will not be the case. It is likely, therefore, that perception of the change will be less than that predicted under laboratory condi- tions of paired comparisons, as stated above. Conclusion With the 2 dB increase predicted to occur at the local re- sidences, it is highly improbable that the listeners will detect any change in level. ( , nomc `s 'rll , WIPP SPECIAL USE PERMIT Spindle Plant Expansion Description of Operations The Spindle Gas Plant processes natural gas which is produced with oil from the Spindle, Surrey, and Singletree fields in Weld County, Colorado. All of the gas from the Singletree, Surrey and West Spindle area is collected at approximately 25 psig, compressed in satellite compressor stations and delivered to the plant at approximately 400 psig, and then further compressed at the plant to 700 psig, the processing pressure. The remainder of the gas from Spindle is collected at 25 psig, delivered to the plant and compressed up to process pressure. At process pressure the gas is chilled by propane refrigerant and expander-induced refriger- ation. Condensed natural gas liquids including ehtane, propane, butane, and pentane plus, are removed and stabilized, delivered to a surge tank, and transported from the plant by pipe line in a mixed stream. Residue gas is sold to Colorado Interstate Gas Company at 700 psig. The plant is designed as a completely closed system and under normal oper- ations there is no venting of hydrocarbon vapors. In the event of a plant shut-down and depressure, hydrocarbon vapors are relieved to a flare system and burned in a smokeless flare stack. The plant processes sweet gas, there- fore, there is no significant odor connected with the process. All compressor engines are equipped with exhaust silencers and the compressor building is complete with noise insulation to reduce noise level. Drips and floor drains are connected to a sump. Collected liquids in the sump are pumped to treat- ing facilities, then to storage, and trucked from the plant. Proposed revisions to the plant involve the addition of equipment to increase the plant capacity by approximately 12 MMCFD. The additional gas is made available to the plant by the 40 acre development in the Spindle area. The new equipment will parallel the existing equipment and the process will be the same as that in the present plant which is operating under a special use permit granted by the Board of County Commissioners on November 29, 1972. Water Supply Water requirements for existing plant are supplied by a water well at the plant site in the vicinity of the plant office. No expansion of the existing water supply will be required. Sewage or Waste Disposal The existing sewage dispersal field will be expanded to accomodate additional employees. Plans for this expansion will be cleared with the Weld County Health Department. -2- Trash and other solid waste materials are accumulated and hauled from the plant site by a local trash disposal company. Operations 24 Hr./day operation, 365 days/yr. 3-8 Hr. shifts/day Maximum anticipated number of employees - 19 All process fluids contained in closed systems with no waste liquid dis- charges from the plant area. Roads No additional Road Requirements as a result of this expansion. SUP 314 Amoco Production Comapny Referrals County Engineer County Attorney County Health Ft.

The soils found in the SWk of Section 34, T2N, R67W are Winn loam, Olney sandy loam and Vona sandy loam. err Winn loam is a deep poorly drained soil with medium textured surface and subsoil. The soil is mottled from 10 inches downward and may or may not have a water table within 60 inches. Olney sandy loam is a deep well drained soil. Water intake is medium to rapid and water holding capacity is fair. Vona sandy loam is a deep well drained soil with a moderately light textured surface and subsoil. The subsoil is weakly developed. Water intake is medium to rapid. Water holding capacity is poor to fair. These soils should pose no problems for your porposed spindle gas processing plant expansion. The soil survey is made on the basis of 60 to 60 inch borings. The information should be used for general planning and does not exclude the need for on-site investigation for specific engineering purposes. Sincerely, 4/S W.

This investigation was made to evaluate subsoils for foundation bearing capacities . Our opinions follow based upon results of this investigation , and upon our experience with soils in this area . UMMARY I . Subsoils consisted of loose sands and sandy clays of medium stiffness overlying clay shale bedrock. Ground water was present at a depth of 11 feet . 2 . Maximum allowable bearing values recommended are presented below by soil classification. Loose Sands 2 ksf Footing Foundations Clays , sandy 3 ksf Footing Foundations Bedrock Shales 20 ksf (Drilled Pier Founda- tions) NOTE : Three feet of soil cover should be provided above bearing elevations of footings for frost protection. 3 . Soils and ground water present conditions for potential sulfate attack of concrete . Type V cement is recommended in all concrete exposed to soils to resist this attack . DISCUSSION 1 . SITE LOCATION This site is located east of Weld County Road 19 in the SW/4 Section 34 , T 2N, R 67W, Weld County , Colorado . This tract is 660 by 990 feet in dimension . The site is vacant . 2 . PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION An installation of gas processing equipment is planned . Types of equipment , locations and foundation loads are not known to the writer . 3 . SUBSOIL EVALUATION Test holes were drilled at 2 specified locations by means of power-auger drilling equipment . Undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing were secured by means of thin-wall sampling equipment . Test hole locations are Ls -1- f • • shown in Figure No . 1 ; boring logs are presented in Figure No . 2 . Test holes disclosed the presence of loose fine sands • to a depth of 3-1/2 feet in Test Hole No . 1 . Sands are underlain by sandy clays of medium stiffness . Weathered clay shale and clay shale bedrock are present below the clays . The soil profile for Test Hole No . 2 is similar to that for Test Hole No . 1 except that there are no sands present . Ground water was present at a depth of 11 feet . Physical properties of soils were evaluated by results of the following tests . Standard Penetration Tests - See Figure No . 2 Natural Moisture-Density Tests - See Figures 3 and 4 Swell -Consolidation Tests - See Figures 3 and 4 Test results indicate the shallow soils are not expansive when wetted , and are competent to support light foundation bearing pressures . The bedrock shales are competent to support concentrated foundation loads . 4 . FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS The shallow soils are suitable for support of lightly loaded continuous or spread footings . Footings should bear at a depth that will provide 3 feet of soil cover above their bearing elevations . Maximum allowable bearing pressures recommended are presented below by soil classifica- tions : Loose Sands : 2 ksf Clays : 3 ksf Drilled , cast-in-place piers may be used for support of foundations , grade beams and columns . Piers should penetrate bedrock shales a minimum depth of 4 feet . Piers may be designed on an end-bearing pressure of 20 ksf, and should carry a minimum dead load of 10 ksf in end-bearing to resist uplift from expansion of the weathered shale section. Side shear of 2 . 0 ksf may be used in addition to end-bearing , based upon the lateral area of the pier penetrating bedrock. 5 . FOUNDAT [ON CONCRETE Soluble sulfate contents of soil and ground water are as follows : Water 5000 ppm Clay 1500 ppm ; a -2 - This presents conditions for potentially severe sulfate attack of concrete . Type II cement is recommended in concrete exposed to soils to resist this potential sulfate attack. If Type V cement is not available , Type II cement in a concrete mix having a maximum water-cement ratio of 0 . 45 may be used at somewhat greater risk of sulfate attack. Air entrainment of 4 to 6% , by volume , is recommended in all concrete exposed to soils or to freeze-thaw conditions . 6 . LIMITATIONS Test borings for this investigation were drilled at your specified locations , and data presented represents only this area of investigation. As the locations and the natures and magnitudes of foundation loads for the proposed equipment installations are not know, only general recommendations have been made for static foundations . If foundations are subject to dynamic loadings , such as for compressors , we suggest additional consultation re- garding the proper foundation design . We. will be pleased to confer with you regarding planning or construction on this site . COMMERCIAL TESTING LABORATORIES By .0e.. e.c//42X;77 ; C. J. Ray , Jr .
