29. 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.

COLORADO.
LOCATION: APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET NORTH OF CR 38 AND APPROXIMATELY 1
MILE WEST OF CR 39.
Chris Gathman, Planning Services, presented Case USR14-0035, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this
application with the attached conditions of approval and development standards.
Don Carroll, Engineering, reported on the existing traffic, access and drainage conditions and the
requirements on site.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on-site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan.
Gregg Wurtz, Aka Energy Group, 65 Mercado Drive, Durango, Colorado, stated that it is an 80 acre
parcel that they purchased and added that they will impact 8 acres of the total 80 acre parcel. The liquids
will be stored on site and transported off site by truck. The site will operate 24/7 but it will only be
manned during daylight hours.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Steve Ludwig, 17978 CR 39, asked the Planning Commission to consider the residents that live near this
property as there are several residences that are very near to this facility. The houses located west of
this proposed facility are surrounded on three sides by compression plants. He recommended that this
facility be moved one-half mile north. He cited concerns regarding air pollution, light pollution, noise
pollution, oil spill, and health standards.
Dave Ludwig, 18010 CR 38, stated that he lives approximately one-half mile south of this property. He
stated that he is neither for nor against this proposal. He has had good relationships with Kerr McGee
and PDC (Petroleum Development Corporation); however his concerns are in regard to lighting, noise,
traffic, and air quality along with the contributing pollution from the existing surrounding facilities.
Joe Knaub, 17915 CR 39, stated that she has land across from this site and it has been in their family for
three generations. She said that the existing traffic is terrible and is concerned with the added traffic.
Mr. Wurtz stated that the noise was considered when they designed the facility and that is why they
chose electric compression. He added that they will have a building around each of the compressors to
help reduce the noise as well. Additionally, because it is electric compression, there will be no air
pollution. The air will be captured and brought back into the system through a closed loop system. With
regard to the concern of oil spills, Mr. Wurtz stated that they will comply with all the requirements
including the submission of the SPCC Plan along with internal policies. He said that they did look at
• EXHIBIT

surrounding residences and tried to stay outside of the existing pipelines and felt this location was the
best place. There will be some security lighting and they will be pointed down as required by the county
code.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.
