Granting of any new point of access may generate additional obligations with County for
Of Site Improvements and the need to post additional "Road Maintenance Collateral", if
applicable. A County access permit is needed for every access to a County road.
2.0 Road Improvements Responsibilities: Lessee 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, Lessee 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 access
onto CR 127 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 CLOT required specifications for pounds per
axle.
1.3 In unusual or rare occasions, if particular projects mandate deviation from the above-
mentioned haul mute, 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
try.,.in excess of 15% of the daily facility haul vehicle trips, utilizes alternate haul
mutes,the provisions of Section 4.0 of this Section B shall be triggered.
2.0 No Deviation from Approved Haul Routes: Except under the provisions provided in Section
B.1.3, no deviation in the use of any roads other than those specifically authorized for use in this

.............
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 Lessee based upon then current vehicle trip counts that
identify traffic loading due to Lessee'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.

determined exclusively by County personnel. The County reserves the right to install traffic
counters on the driveway(s) of the Lessee'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: Lessee 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

County approves an alternate haul route, and all or a significant portion of Lessee's sourced traffic
no longer utilizes the above-described haul route and instead utilizes other portions of County roads,
Lessee 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

repairs shall commence within thirty(30) days of receipt of Weld County's written notice.

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 Lessee identifies Significant Damage prior to receiving notice thereof from
County, Lessee 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 Lessee in writing
that the Off Site Im rovements/Repairs shall be undertaken. Within ninety (90) days of
its receipt of Coun 's notice of the need to undertake the road maintenance repairs
and/or improvements, Lessee shall submit Off-Site Construction Plans and Cost
Estimates to County for r view. Lessee shall have sole responsibility for the completion
of the repairs and/or improvements on or before December 15 of the year following

road repair/improvement/maintenance work is to be performed during that construction season.
Notification to the Lessee 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
Lessee 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.
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's 124 & 127 in the area of the
facility entrance:
a. 200 vehicles per day Mag-Chloride
b. 300 vehicles per day Alternate Pavement
c. 400 vehicles per day Asphalt Pavement
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, Lessee shall pay a proportionate cost of a complete road restoration. Notification
to the Lessee 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 Lessee 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. Lessee's Proportionate Share shall be based upon the percentage of traffic
on the road that is attributable to Lessee's facility. County personnel will determine the
percentage based on then current Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Counts. Lessee
shall not be responsible for traffic that is not sourced from the Lessee's facility.
10.2 The County shall notify Lessee of County's preliminary determination and assessment of
Lessee's proportionate share of costs. Prior to County's final determination and
assessment, County shall provide Lessee with a reasonable opportunity to review,
comment upon and supplement County's data, collection methodology, and
determinations. The County shall review and consider Lessee's input prior to making a
final determination and assessment. The County shall have sole responsibility for
determination of Lessee's proportionate share of costs.

conditions or considerations granted by the Board of County Commissioners, Lessee shall not be
required to initiate any applicable landscaping requirements until the occurrence of the triggering
