The applicant is proposing to have 30 total employees onsite to operate the facility over a 24 hour period. The applicant provided information about an existing septic system for the facility (SP- 0701163). The applicant will be required to comply with Weld County Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Regulations. The applicant has indicated that drinking water will be provided by existing water well (permit number 272956). This well is restricted to drinking and sanitary facilities inside the building. Additionally the applicant has indicated a new well will be permitted through the state. The applicant submitted an approved dust abatement plan. The dust abatement plan indicates that the onsite access road and parking area will be covered with an aggregate surface and the surface will be maintained in order to provide dust control. Overflow parking and activity areas will be monitored for dust and water/chloride (such as Magnesium Chloride) will be used for dust control, as needed during construction and operation. The applicant provided a copy of the CDPHE Recycling Facility Registration Form. The facility has an approved CDPHE Recycling Facility Engineering Design and Operations Plan dated February 2013, for a Water Treatment and Conditioning facility. A separate Engineering Design and Operations Plan (EDOP) dated November 5, 2014 was provided to Weld County for the solids processing recycling facility. The EDOP Appendix D included The Construction Air Modification Application and evidence of Air Pollution Emission Notices (APENs) from the Air Pollution Control Division, CDPHE. The applicant submitted a Waste Handling Plan for review and approval. The applicant has provided some waste handling information in the EDOP. The EDOP indicates that solids from the processing facility will be transferred to the solids temporary staging shed and temporarily stored in a roll-of container. At least once a week the solid waste will be disposed of off-site at an approved landfill. Solids processing facility wash water will be collected in floor drains and managed onsite. A SPCC plan dated October 30, 2014 was provided as Appendix B of the solids processing facility EDOP. The September 17, 2014 SPCC plan encompasses the solids processing facility as well as the produced water recycling facility and SWD well facility/infrastructure. Unloading pad and secondary containment information was provided for the solids processing facility in the EDOP. Information is required for the expansion of the saltwater disposal facility. The solids processing truck off-load area will be a concrete pad approximately 82' x 100'. The secondary containment structures will be constructed of concrete and sized to hold 1.25 times the volume of the largest tank in each area with additional volume/freeboard for precipitation and unloading pads are required to have leak detection. Solids processing closure plan information was provided in the solids processing facility EDOP. The solids processing EDOP addresses storm water which may come into contact with waste and indicates that any water which comes into contact with waste will be managed as contaminated water. A Stormwater Management Plan was provided in Appendix B of the EDOP. We have no objections to the proposal, however, we do recommend that the following conditions be part of any approval: 1. Prior to allowing the plat to be recorded: A. In the event washing of vehicles will occur on site the applicant shall ensure that any vehicle washing area(s) shall capture all effluent and prevent discharges from the washing of vehicles in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Water Quality Control Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Vehicle washing areas should be designated on the plat. B. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following: 1. A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site (this should include expected volumes and types of waste generated). 2. A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site. 3. The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including the facility name, address, and phone number). 2 4. Solids and sediment will accumulate in the storage tanks. The waste handling plan shall include a detailed plan that describes the method of how those solids will be removed, including all on-site handling procedures. 5. The waste handling plan shall provide a commitment to notify the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment in writing, in the event the plan is amended. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment. 2. We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as conditions that must be met prior to release of building permits: A. A leak detection system shall be designed and installed beneath the concrete unloading pad(s), piping, and sump(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. We have previously provided comments on Case No. USR14-0081 by our letter dated January 15, 2015. In that letter we indicated that the purpose of the application is to amend MUSR11-0004 to include a solid processing facility to that existing oil and gas support and service facility (Class II oilfield water disposal facility - salt water injection facility, a water recycling facility and the addition of a solids processing facility). In this second referral, the Applicant indicated that the site currently employs 17 employees and the proposal is to add 13 additional employees, bringing the total number of employee to 30 who will work over 3 shifts. There will be an average of 10 employees on site at any one time. The water supply for the site is still listed as well permit no. 272956. Our previous comments regarding the water supply for the site still apply. Should you have any questions, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office. Sincerely, 1 Jo nna Williams, P.E.

Section 30: part of the S/2SE/4 Weld County, Colorado Dear Mr. Ogle: This letter is being sent by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on behalf of its subsidiary Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP ("KMG") to inform you KMG is the owner of valid oil and gas leases underlying all or parts of Section 30, Township 3 North, Range 65 West, for which High Sierra Water Services, LLC ("Applicant") is seeking approval of a request to amend MUSR11-0004 to include a solids processing facility, a new pump house, new injection well, expansion of concrete containment, addition of 6 tanks and expansion of the offload pad within the subject property. KMG is submitting this comment and objection timely, in accordance with State of Colorado and the County's procedural requirements. KMG's recorded oil and gas leases are real property interests entitling it to produce oil and gas from the leased lands. The company has the right to produce from existing wells, to maintain, rework, recomplete, and fracture those existing wells to enhance production, and to drill new wells to produce oil and gas, in accordance with applicable Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulations and Colorado Statutes. KMG's oil and gas assets have significant value, and the company is consequently concerned about any development, surface use, plan of use, PUD, zoning or rezoning, or other action by the County that would impair or preclude its ability to develop its property. KMG's preferred practice is to meet with surface owners and attempt to conclude a mutually acceptable surface use agreement. In this case, KMG and the surface owner do not have an agreement in place. KMG must object to any approval by the County for the Applicant's plans that fail to fully accommodate KMG's right to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas from its leasehold interests. KMG requests that the County withhold final plat approval until such time as the Applicant and KMG have concluded the surface use agreement. Any future surface development plans should incorporate and designate lands to be A SUBSIDIARY OF ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION USR14-0081 February 6, 2015 Page 2 set aside for mineral development and expressly provide protection for KMG's current and future wells, pipelines, gathering lines and related oil and gas facilities and equipment. Weld County has a constitutional obligation to ensure that the property rights of mineral interest owners are accommodated in its land use planning process. Approval of any surface development plan that forecloses the rights of mineral owners may be a compensable taking. Please contact me at 720-929-6148 if you have any questions or comments about this matter. KMG hopes to conclude a mutually acceptable surface use agreement with the surface owner of the property, and we look forward to working with the County to accomplish their land use planning goals.
