Case Number: USR15-0016
Planner: Kim Ogle
This letter is in response to the referral sent by Weld County Planning Services dated March 6, 2015,
regarding the proposed mineral resource development facilities including an oil and gas storage facility,
office buildings, tanks, and all related equipment.
We had a meeting on December 4, 2014 to discuss the proposed facility. A conference call on March 9,
2015, in addition to many follow up conversations in regards to the following. They have agreed to all
recommendations below.
• A tank will comply with NFPA 22 with a capacity of approximately 250,000 gallon above ground
atmospheric tank for fire protection of said facility. The site at this time does not have
infrastructure for the required fire flow, as it is not supplied by an outside water source.
• Any type of plumbing for the fire department will be compatible to our fittings and hydrant
placement TBD.
• The fire protection system on the tanks is not stated nor been documented. Depending on this
statement, there may be an amendment to the cistern.
• On site foam quantity to be no less than 660 gallons at any given time, stored in a controlled
environment room.
• All fire protection systems on site would need to be accompanied with a plan, fees and schedule
for review prior to construction of fire protection systems.
• Cross training with Magellan Midstream, initial and ongoing.
Systems will be complete and tested prior to certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of
occupancy, if one is approved. Southeast Weld Fire Protection District has adopted the 2006
International Fire Code (IFC) in its entirety, in addition to the comments mentioned above;the 2006 IFC
will be complied with.

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 application is for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Development Facilities including an Oil and Gas Storage Facility in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. The proposed source of water for the commercial business on property will be
provided by a new commercial well. Any well permit application for the proposed well would be
evaluated at the time it is received in this office.
Should you have any questions, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office.
Sincerely, _-

RE: Special Use Permit for an Oil and Gas Storage Facility, County Road 30 and County Road 49
(appx), Weld County
Dear Ms. Ranslem:
Thank you for your recent correspondence dated 6 March 2015, concerning the proposed use of a
parcel of agricultural land for the construction of an oil and gas storage facility(and associated
infrastructure). Our office has reviewed the submitted materials.
A search of our riles and those of the county assessor's office indicates that there are no historic
properties within the project area. Please note that this area has not been comprehensively
surveyed for subsurface(historic and prehistoric) archaeological resources. Although agricultural
operations can sometimes disturb and/or destroy archaeological sites, this is not always the case,
and the site in question may contain significant archaeological and/or cultural resources. We urge
caution when developing the site. If resources are discovered during the course of construction,
we ask that you contact our office for further guidance.
Under state and federal laws, our office takes on a consulting role in projects that involve federal
or state funding, permits, and/or land. As a consulting party, we work with the appropriate
federal and state agencies to identify and protect cultural resources (such as historic buildings and
archaeological sites). Projects that do not have state or federal involvement are not covered by
these laws, and our office operates in an advisory capacity only.
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Saldibar, Architectural Services Manager, at
