SUBJECT: USR15-0007, 70 Ranch/NGL C12 SWD
The Weld County Department of Planning Services-Engineering has reviewed this proposal. Staff
comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues
may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
General Project Information/Location:
NGL is proposing a SWD well, offload and tank farm w/pumps
This project is north of CR 69 on the 70 Ranch. Parcel number 096527100022.
Access is from CR 388 to the west of site near CR 61.
Roads:
Latest ADT on CR 388 was taken on 3/28/2014 which counted 818 vpd with 75% trucks.
Traffic:
The traffic information provided with the submittal states that the site is estimated to have 160 trucks/day
with 10 employees split between two shifts. Operation is 24/7 and is asking for unlimited truck trips. The
trip distribution is estimated to have 90% of trucks all maintained within the 70 Ranch with 10% using CR
388.
CI Traffic Narrative with Triggers:
A Traffic Impact Study can be waived and a detailed Traffic Narrative submitted if the applicant agrees to
traffic triggers. Any triggers based upon the traffic narrative or the traffic study will be included within the
improvements and road maintenance agreement. The Traffic Narrative must include at the minimum:
Type of Vehicle Number of Round Trips
a. Passenger cars/pickups 10
b. Tandem Trucks
c. Semi-Truck/Trailer/RV 160
*Roundtrip = 1 trip in and 1 trip out of site
d. Describe the expected vehicle routes.
e. Describe the trip distribution along the routes (i.e. 50% of traffic will come from the north,
20% from the south, 30% from the east, etc.)
f. Describe the time of day that you expect the highest traffic volumes from table above.
Specifically agree in writing to the below improvements triggers:

F. 50 vph during peak hour turning right out of the facility-right acceleration lane.
Access:
An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP15-00054). The permit will need to be
modified as the applicant anticipated access from CR 69. A restricted private bridge limits access from
this roadway so access will be from CR 388 until load restriction permit.
Tracking Control:
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto the County Roadway. Minimal standards
are listed below. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent
tracking control is installed ahead of construction activities.
O More than 10 round truck trips or more than 50 round passenger vehicles trips:
I Access onto gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300ft of recycled
asphalt/road base.

Case no. USR15-0007
Part of the SE1/4 of Section 27, T5N, R63W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Ogle,
This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-
101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11,
2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory
review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not
address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water
supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments
provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the
issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
The applicant is requesting a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review
Permit for Mineral Resource Development Facility, Oil and Gas Support and Service (Class II
Oilfield Waste Disposal Facility - Saltwater Injection Facility and a Temporary Tank storage
area with containment), in the Agricultural Zone District. Application materials indicate that
the site will employ 10 employees with no more than 5 at any one time in a 24 hour period.
The proposed water supply for the business is a commercial drinking water well. According to
our records the commercial well for the property was identified as permit no. 296766.
Permit no. 296766 was issued pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-602(3)(b)(I) on February 2, 2015 and
has an expiration date of February 2, 2017. A request for an extension to the well permit
expiration date will be required if the well will not be constructed prior to the current
expiration date. Successive one-year extensions to construct the well may be granted for
good cause shown. The use of groundwater from the well is limited to drinking and sanitary
facilities as described in CRS 37-92-602(1)(c), for a commercial business. Water from this
well shall not be used for lawn/landscape/greenhouse irrigation, domestic animal/livestock
watering, or for any other purpose outside the business building structure. The annual amount
of ground water to be diverted by this well shall not exceed 1/3 acre-foot (108,600 gallons).
