and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
1) Section 22-4-140.A (EP.Goal 1) states: "Encourage the
minimization of mineral resource exploration and production waste
and require the safe disposal of it;" and (EP.Policy 1.1) states:
"Due to the impacts from surface impoundments and increasing
public concern about them, other alternatives for disposal should
be considered." The proposal is for a Class II Brinewater Injection
Well, a Temporary 12 month Class II Brinewater Injection Well, a
Water Recycling Facility and associated facilities including a
support office and a 20-foot communication tower.
2) Section 22-4-140.6 (EP.Goal 2) states: "Mineral resource
exploration and production waste facilities should be planned,
located, designed and operated to encourage compatibility with
surrounding land uses in terms of items such as general use,
scale, height, traffic, dust, noise and visual pollution." This
proposal has been reviewed by the appropriate referral agencies
and it has been determined that the attached Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards ensure that there are
adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
B. Section 23-2-230.6.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of
the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Citing Section 23-3-40.A.2 that provides

Review Permit of USR12-0014 for Mineral Resource Development
Facilities, Oil and Gas Support and Service, including Class II Oilfield
Waste Disposal - Saltwater Injection, and Water Recycling Facilities,
related equipment and structures in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-230.6.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The site is bordered
by agricultural uses, predominately grazing, prairie and rangelands with
