C. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses. The property slopes slightly northwest to southeast. Lands in all
directions are in dryland agriculture with very limited residential improvements. In the
immediate area,there are no residences within the notification area. Approximately 5700 feet
to the northeast is one residence and approximately 7700 feet directly west from the
proposed facility is the second residence. There are two(2)property owners and 3 parcels
within five hundred feet of this proposed facility. Tri-State Generation and Transmission has
a 345 kV transmission line to the southwest of this site and there is limited oil and gas activity
to the west of the property.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable

agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The proposed Cryogenic
Natural Gas Processing Facility is sited on lands that are designated"Prime if they become
Irrigated"on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map dated 1979. Therefore,as there
is no irrigation water associated with this site,no"Prime"agricultural lands have been taken
out of production.

Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and

28. 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.
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,sandburs,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.

concerns regarding the amount of traffic. After discussions with the applicant, Ms. Anderson indicated
