WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well-run agricultural activities will generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow-moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5- 102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water. Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. USR14-0079 Page 9 of 10 People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.

NOISE ABATEM ENT PLAN ,(REVISED 6-1 -2015) _ Formatted: Highlight I ntroduction The Cannon Compressor Station is a proposed Kerr-McGee Gathering, LLC (KMGG) facility located in Weld County. This facility is needed to help transport the increasing amounts of natural gas to processing facilities where it is then prepared for sale to market. KMGG has taken steps to attenuate noise originating from this site and will continue to take the necessary actions to comply with COGCC noise regulation. The following plan outlines how noise is mitigated at the Cannon Compressor Station site. Location and Surrounding Land Use The proposed Cannon Compressor Station access road is located approximately 760 feet north of the intersection of WCR 26 and WCR 33 in an area zoned for agriculture. Proposed I mprovements KMGG is proposing the installation eight (8) compressors. There will be six (6) CAT3606LE/Ariel JGK- 3, and two (2) 3750 HP Electric Units. There will also be one 60,000 gallon slug catcher, two (2) 30 MMscfd and one (1) 50 MMscfd coalescing filter separators, two (2) 30 MMscfd and one (1) 50 MMscfd TEG dehydrator-condenser-VRU's, one condensate pump skid and associated piping and electrical infrastructure. Noise Regulation and Goal There is no equipment presently at the proposed site. Under the current COGCC regulations, permissible noise levels cannot exceed 55 dBA during the day or 50 dBA at night. KMGG will ensure the installed equipment complies with these COGCC regulations. KMGG also has the ultimate goal of not exceeding 50 dBA at all times and will be measured at the fence line of the facility. Effortsto Date KMGG has already begun efforts to reduce noise on-site by designing High Specification Noise Suppression Packages (HSNSP) for the first three Cat3606LE/Ariel JGK-3 compressor/cooler packages. This includes p cooler silencer, a noise attenuated building over the engine and compressor, a combustion Formatted: Strikethrough, Highlight air intake silencer, and a hospital grade muffler on the engine exhaust. The other three proposed CAT3606LE/Ariel and two 3750 HP will be installed with the same Foote'. silencers and hospital grade Formatted: Strikethrough, Highlight mufflers on the engine exhaustpr lower noise emitting coolers, Formatted: Strikethrough, Highlight J Assessment and Attenuation Formatted: Highlight Upon operation KMGG will conduct a noise survey to determine if noise levels meet COGCC requirements. If noise exceeds levels then sound walls or insulation will be built around the identified problem equipment. Ventilation packages may also need to be installed to ensure that the equipment is able to operate while being completely enclosed.
