1) Section 22-4-140.A (EP.Goal 1) states: "Encourage the
minimization of mineral resource exploration and production waste
and require the safe disposal of it" (EP.Policy 1.1) states: "Due to
the impacts from surface impoundments and increasing public
concern about them, other alternatives for disposal should be
considered." The proposal is for a Class II Brinewater Injection
Well and associated facilities and will be permitted through the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) prior
to operation.
2) Section 22-4-140.B (EP.Goal 2) states: "Mineral resource
exploration and production waste facilities should be planned,
located, designed and operated to encourage compatibility with
surrounding land uses in terms of items such as general use,
scale, height, traffic, dust, noise and visual pollution." 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.
3) Section 22-4-30.A (WA.Goal1) states: "Support the development
of water that is put to beneficial use, along with associated
infrastructure." The proposed water recycling facility and load out
facility will provide a valuable and indispensable service to oil and
gas companies. The centralized location for load out minimizes
the removal of agricultural land from production.
4) Section 22-6-20.C.1 (ECON.Policy 3.1) states: "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." 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.
B. Section 23-2-230.B.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of
the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County
Code which provides for Mineral Resource Development Facilities,
including Oil and Gas Support and Service (Class II Oilfield Waste
Disposal Facility - saltwater injection facility, water recycling, a truck
tanker washout facility and a tank storage area with confinement) as a
Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-230.B.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be

compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The site is bordered
by agricultural uses, predominately center pivot sprinklers and flood
irrigated fields with sparsely populated residential development. There
are two residences in the general area with the nearest residence directly
west of the property, and the second residence adjacent to the property at
the southeast corner of the parcel. Oil and gas facilities are existing
encumbrances on this parcel and adjacent properties. Staff received one
electronic mail and two telephone calls from an adjacent property owner
who had concerns about the lighting and the potential to have the quality
of her potable water well jeopardized. No other comments were received.
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that this
use will be compatible with surrounding land uses.
D. Section 23-2-230.B.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be
compatible with future development of the surrounding area as permitted
by the existing zoning and with the future development as projected by
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable code
provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities. The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area
for the Towns of Hudson and Keenesburg. The Town of Hudson returned
a referral dated January 16, 2015, indicating concerns with the tanker
truck routes into and out of the facility and requested that all tanker truck
traffic be directed to enter the facility from the 1-76 Frontage Road onto
County Road 51 to the facility and to exit the facility heading north on
County Road 51 to the 1-76 Frontage Road. The Town of Keenesburg
provided comment by electronic mail dated February 2, 2015, without
comment. The Town of Keenesburg provided a formal response dated
February 6, 2015, requesting that the applicant and their successors
sample the Town's water well to establish a baseline standard prior to
commencing operations and agree to sample quarterly as long as
required by regulatory authorities. The Town requests that the cost of
sampling and analyses be borne by the applicant and their successors
and that the Town be provided with copies of all monitoring and all
sampling analyses when produced. The Town is requesting that the Town
be referenced as successor to any Road Maintenance Agreement
between NGL and the County so that obligations for road repairs and
maintenance necessitated by wear and tear or damages due to traffic
from this USR do not impact Keenesburg budgets and area citizens.
Keenesburg also requests that they be notified and are able to provide
comment in the event that the applicant proposes to change the haul
route as proposed in the application. The Town also requests that as a
Condition of Approval of the County's USR, that NGL Water Solutions DJ,
LLC, develop and execute a Pre-Annexation Agreement with the Town to
be signed at the earliest opportunity. Representatives for NGL Water
Solutions DJ, LLC, stated that truck traffic entering the facility would
approach the facility from the north onto the 1-76 Frontage Road to
County Road 51 and into the facility. Trucks leaving the facility would
travel onto County Road 51 north to the 1-76 Frontage Road, west to the
County Road 49/1-76 intersection and out. Representatives for NGL

Water Solutions DJ, LLC, in an electronic mail dated February 2, 2015,
returned an email to the Town of Keenesburg stating: "Thanks again for
meeting with me last week and providing information about annexation
into the Town of Keenesburg. After a follow-up conversation with Weld
County, I have confirmed that our USR package is properly submitted.
Given the rigor of regulatory approvals, NGL has decided to complete the
USR process through Weld County. However, given the potential benefits
that we discussed, NGL may consider the annexation of this property into
the Town of Keenesburg in the future. Having said this, I would like to
confirm my intent to recruit within Keenesburg. And NGL and its
contractors intend to enjoy the services provided within the Town of
Keenesburg."
E. Section 23-2-230.B.5 -- The application complies with Section 23,
Article V, of the Weld County Code. The existing site is not within a
recognized overlay district, including the Geologic Hazard and Airport
Overlay District. The southern portion of the parcel is within the Jim
Creek Floodplain. In a referral dated January 12, 2015, the Floodplain
Administrator stated that it appears that the development is outside of the
floodplain. If there is any development on this site in the floodplain, a
Floodplain Development Permit (FHDP) will be required. This Floodplain
is zoned A. As a Condition of Approval, the floodplain and floodway
boundaries will be delineated on the USR map and if construction or any
development activities are located within the special flood hazard area, a
Floodplain Development Permit (FHDP) will be required. The existing site
is within the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital
Expansion Impact Fee area. Building Permits issued on the lot will be
required to adhere to the fee structure of the County-Wide Road Impact
Fee, County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
F. Section 23-2-230.B.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort
to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the
proposed use. The proposed facility is located on a 108-acre parcel of
land and the facility's footprint will be approximately ten acres in area.
The land not associated will remain in agricultural production and be
leased to a tenant farmer. The soils are predominately designated as
"Prime" and "Other," near the Jim Creek floodplain, per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
G. Section 23-2-2320.B.7 -- The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld
County Code), Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250, Weld County
Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards can ensure
that there are adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety,
and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
