SUBJECT: USR14-0073, Bucklen
Stockpile of aggregate, concrete, asphalt and fill dirt
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:
Bucklen equipment is applying to permit the recycling of aggregate, concrete, asphalt and dirt fill on the
property in stockpiles.
This project is east of and adjacent to 25`h avenue near Greeley. Parcel number 080331200002.
Roads:
25th Avenue is maintained by Weld County. Traffic counts from January 2014 were 3086.
Traffic:
The traffic information provided with the submittal states that 20 semi-trucks and trailers will visit the site
daily.
Access:
An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP14-00467). Access is proposed across
parcels 080536400097 and 080331300024. An access easement is required to provide legal access to the
site across these parcels.
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto the County Roadway.
O Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control
is installed ahead of construction activities.
O Standard tracking control for accesses onto gravel roads includes double cattle guards at the
access point.
O Standard tracking control for accesses onto paved roads includes either 300 feet of pavement
onsite OR 100 feet of pavement plus double cattle guards.
O Alternatives such as recycled AC, gravel/road base,may be considered with lighter traffic impact
projects.
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends that the property owner establish an access road
maintenance agreement so future owners of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared
maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement for the recorded exemption but is recommended
to avoid property owner conflicts in the future.
General Site Plan Requirements: i.e(IA, RMA, City Town Agreement, etc...,offsite auxiliary lanes)
Improvements Agreement: The Bucklen complex has previously entered into a long term maintenance
and improvements agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners (document number
930714, recorded 11/10/93) for USR-1001. This improvements agreement will still remain in place for
the activities associated with this Use by Special Review project.
Geohazard Area:
This site IS NOT in a Geologic Hazard Area.
Floodplain:
The project site lies entirely within the Poudre River FEMA regulatory floodway. A meeting with the
Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), the County and the applicant and applicant's attorney was
held July 9'12014 to discuss the possibility of allowing the historic use. It was discussed at this meeting
the applicant would propose distances from the river channel and stockpile boundaries for CWCB to
review and ultimately approve to protect the County in the event of an audit. CWCB is a referral agency
for this project and those comments will be included in the floodplain permit.
Drainage Study:
The applicants will be required to maintain historic drainage flows and run-off amounts on the property.
A drainage narrative was submitted. This project is within an State defined Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) area which is a more urbanized area with state mandated, higher water quality
requirements. The narrative indicates stonnwater runoff enters into a borrow pit and acts as water quality.
The narrative must be stamped and signed by a licensed professional engineer in the State of Colorado.
The drainage narrative was not stamped by a Colorado PE.
Grading Permit
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact the Planning
Department for more information.
A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than I acre.
Contact: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, Rik
Gay, 303-692-3575.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Prior to recording the plat:
A. This site is in an MS4 area. A Drainage Narrative stamped and signed by a Professional
Engineer registered in the State of Colorado is required.

IllG O N T Z-9? FROM: HEATHER BARBARE, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
SUBJECT: USR14-0073, BUCKLEN
DATE:REVISED JULY 3, 2015
Weld County Environmental Health Services (WCDPHE) has reviewed this proposal for
conducting an aggregate recycling operation to include asphalt, concrete, and fill dirt.
There will be no more than two employees' onsite at one time and, in accordance with
Weld County policy, the applicant is proposing to provide bottled water to employees for
drinking water and to provide portable toilets for employee use.
The applicant provided a dust abatement plan indicating gravel and/or road base will be
used onsite to control dust and that a water tanker truck or portable sprinkler system will
be used as necessary. The applicant also provided a waste management plan/waste
handling plan indicating no wastes will be managed onsite. Based on information
available, because this is an accessory property, waste generated from the recycling
and employee trash will be managed via dumpster at a neighboring parcel.
The applicant submitted a soil screening and profile form/soil screening plan, which
discusses how the facility will screen material to prevent waste acceptance. The plan
describes material acceptance procedures to ensure the material entering the facility is
uncontaminated soil with minimal debris.
The applicant indicated in the application that the facility will meet 6 CCR 1007-3
Section 8.5 requirements such that registration of the facility with the Colorado
Department of Public Health (CDPHE) will not be required. In order to meet the
exemption the applicant must ensure:
1. material is managed and separated into commodity specific piles processed for
reuse;
2. material is managed in active piles separated by material type or use within the
past year; and
3. incoming loads shall have all non-concrete, non-asphalt and non-rebar material
removed from concrete and asphalt materials within thirty (30) calendar days and
non-concrete, non-asphalt and non-rebar material shall not exceed 10% of the
total material onsite by weight or volume.
A Compliance Advisory was issued on April 2, 2014 by the CDPHE and a Violation
Notification was issued by WCDPHE on March 26, 2014 for conducting disposal
activities at the site without a Certificate of Designation. The applicant's May 21, 2014
response letter "Inspection Report and Compliance Advisory for February 28, 2014
Inspection; Bucklen Equipment Company, Inc." indicated the solid waste was used
beneficially on the subject parcel (080331200002) and the adjoining parcel
(080331300024) as fill material to create a stable base for vehicle traffic and facility
operations. The applicant will be required to demonstrate that the fill area does not pose
a risk to human health and the environment or remove the waste.
We have no objections to the proposal, however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval.
We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be
recorded:
1. As indicated in the CDPHE Compliance Advisory issued on April 2, 2014 and the
Violation Notification issued by WCDPHE on March 26, 2014, waste has been
illegally disposed of at the facility. The applicant shall either remove the waste
illegally disposed of onsite or shall enter into a Consent Agreement with Weld
County regarding the waste materials placed on the property subject to USR14-
0073. The Consent Agreement shall address, but not be limited to, the following
issues:
A. Applicant shall provide evidence acceptable to WCDPHE that the waste is
suitable to be left in place and will not negatively impact off-site groundwater
or surface water. The applicant shall provide a proposal acceptable to
WCDPHE regarding how such evidence will be obtained to show the waste is
suitable to be left in place and will not negatively impact off-site groundwater
or surface water. The proposal may include, but is not limited to, submitting
records indicating the composition and location of the deposited waste and
conducting a subsurface investigation to characterize the in-place waste
including a screening process to investigate groundwater/soil chemical
contamination.
B. Applicant shall provide engineering design information indicating that the
waste is stable in-place and unlikely to wash away. If the waste is not stable
or is likely to wash away, additional engineering and stabilization, or removal
of the waste if stabilization is not feasible, will be required.
C. Dependent upon the nature of the waste, the Applicant may be required by
Weld County to record an environmental covenant on the property subject to
USR14-0073.
R 14-0073.
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as
development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and

General Comments:
E Advisory. The subject property is within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected
Growth Area (LREGA), and adjacent to City zoned industrial-Medium (I-M) land uses.
Per the 2060 Comprehensive Plan, the LREGA is the region in which the community
anticipates growing within the next 20+years.
E Advisory. The site is within the 100 floodplain and also in an area of high ecological
significance next to the Poudre River. Activities should be limited to minimize adverse
impacts to the local ecosystem, and developed areas prohibited from expanding.
E Advisory. Staff recommends preserving, protecting and buffering the Poudre Trail
corridor from the heavy industrial activities at the site. Generous setbacks with landscape
materials and earth forms would shelter&protect the wildlife and the trail users from the
noise and dust generated on the site.
E Advisory. Staff presumes the 8:00am to 5:00pm operation schedule will be enforced in
accordance with the project narrative.
E Advisory. If not already addressed, the Poudre Trail should be within an easement
extending across the subject property and buffered from the on-site industrial uses.

General Comments
❑ The property is located within the City of Greeley Long Range Expected Growth Area.
If in the future, additional water service is requested or sanitary sewer service is required,
then it will be a requirement to annex into the City of Greeley, prior to City of Greeley
providing utility service.
❑ Advisory. The subject property is located within the 100-year floodplain and l' floodway
for the Poudre River. Any future development of the property is subject to the NFTP
regulations and will need to follow all applicable County requirements.
The City of Greeley recommends with material stockpiling in the floodway that a no rise
certification should be provided.

RE: Comments Regarding the Bucklen Equipment Company, Inc. Use by Special
Review Application Case # USR-14-0073
SW-WLD-BEC 1.1
Ms. Aungst,
The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division ("the Division") of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment appreciates the opportunity to provide
comments pertaining to the solid waste management activities conducted by Bucklen
Equipment Company, Inc: ("Bucklen") located at 804 N. 25th Avenue in Greeley, CO ("the
Facility"). Bucklen submitted an application for a Use by Special Review with Weld County
and Weld County requested comments from the Division. The Division's comments regarding
the applicability of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Sites and Facilities, 6 CCR 1007-
2, Part 1 ("the Solid Waste Regulations") to Bucklen's activities are provided below.
Bucklen currently accepts and processes concrete, asphalt and dirt at the Facility. Section
8.5 of the Solid Waste Regulations exempts asphalt and concrete recycling facilities from the
Recycling Facility requirements when the materials are managed like a commodity.
According to the USR application, Bucklen manages concrete and asphalt in a manner
consistent with the exemption in Section 8.5.3(B). However, an inspection report from Weld
County dated March 26, 2014 and a letter from Bucklen's attorney dated May 21, 2014
indicate that waste concrete and concrete fines are being buried onsite. The Division
considers burying waste to be disposal and subject to the landfill requirements of Sections 2
and 3 of the Solid Waste Regulations.
Bucklen should obtain either a Certificate of Designation or a beneficial use determination if
they wish to continue to dispose of, or beneficially use, asphalt, waste concrete and concrete
fines at the Facility. The historical and proposed use of the waste concrete onsite, as
described in the letter from Bucklen's attorney, does not meet Section 8's Table 3 pre-

approved use for reclaimed concrete as a structural backfill material. Bucklen may contact
David Snapp at david.snapp@state.co.us or 303-692-3425 to discuss the beneficial use
requirements or Curt Stovall at curt.stovall@state.co.us or 303-692-2295 to discuss obtaining
a Certificate of Designation to operate as a solid waste landfill.
