The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls under the Use by
Special Review Standard, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section 23. Staff comments
made during this phase of the Use by Special Review process may not be all inclusive; as other issues may
arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to the state highways.
Please contact Gloria Hice-Idler at the Greeley office (970-350-2148 or 970-350-2163) to verify the access
permit or for any additional requirements that may be needed to obtain or upgrade the permit. (State Highway
392)
REQUIREMENTS:
Site Plan:
Public Works is using the Drexel, Barrel plat. The other two are detail sheets.
Access Permit Application Form:
Provide a copy of your CDOT Access Permit.
Noxious Weeds:
Should noxious weeds exist on the property or become established as a result of the proposed development,
the applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds, pursuant to Section 15-1-180 of
the Weld County Code.
Traffic Impact Study:
The study was prepared by Drexel, Barrel, and Associates: a single access point on the north side of State
Highway392, located about 1300 feet west of CR 43. Colorado Crude Carriers will generate about 465 trips
per day on an average weekday by 2015. Based on the projected volumes and aR-B category, it is
recommended that an eastbound left-turn deceleration lane be added at the site access point on State
Highway 392.

a Q- T
SUBJECT: USR13-0060 STEELY
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2014
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for an oil and gas support
and service facility (crude oil transportation company), along with an existing landscape
company. There is an existing shop/office building for the landscape company on the
property. The proposal includes a new shop/office building for the crude oil business.
The landscape company will have 2-3 full time employees and 15-20 other employees
accessing the site for short periods. The crude oil business will have 15-20 onsite
employees and 20 plus drivers.
The facility is currently served by North Weld County Water District. The applicant
provided documentation from the District that they are able to serve the crude oil
trucking company.
There is an existing septic system that serves the landscape company facility, Permit
SP-0500412, is permitted for 4 employees. Since there will be an increase in number of
employees using the system, the existing septic system must be evaluated by
professional engineer to determine if adequate. If the existing system is found to be
inadequate, then a repair permit will be required to upgrade the existing septic system.
The applicant is proposing to install an engineer-designed septic system for the
proposed shop/office building for the crude oil business. The commercial septic permit
will require Weld County Board of Health approval. Both the existing and the proposed
septic systems shall be designated on the plat and protected from vehicle traffic.
The waste handling plan stipulates that Waste Management or Ram Waste will provide
refuse service. Any used vehicle fluids and parts cleaning solvent from maintenance
and repairs will be removed by Safety Kleen. The proposed maintenance shop building
for the crude oil business will have floor drains that will discharge to a watertight vault.
The vault will be serviced also by Safety Kleen. The crude oil business will not wash
vehicles at the site. Tire service will be provided by TCI Tire Service of Loveland or TDS
of Greeley.
The dust abatement plan stipulates that during construction, water will be utilized to
control dust. After construction is completed, the site will be stabilized with native
grasses. The graveled access drives, parking and circulation areas will be maintained,
speeds will be controlled and water will be utilized to control onsite dust.
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. The existing septic system for the landscape company facility, Permit SP-
0500412, shall be reviewed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer.
The review shall consist of observation of the system and a technical review
describing the systems' ability to handle the proposed hydraulic load. The review
shall be submitted to the Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld
County Department of Public Health and Environment. In the event the system is
found to be inadequately sized or constructed the system shall be brought into
compliance with current Regulations.
2. The applicant shall submit evidence of an Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Class V Injection Well permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for the existing septic system (a septic system with the capacity to serve 20 or
more persons per day). Alternately, the applicant can provide evidence from the
EPA that they are not subject to the EPA Class V requirements.
3. Plot the existing septic system and proposed septic system on the plat. The
septic systems must be protected from vehicle traffic.
4. A copy of the Commercial Pesticide Applicators license, from the Colorado
Department of Agriculture, shall be provided to Environmental Health Services,
Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment.
5. Designate the vault for the vehicle maintenance shop floor drains on the plat.
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as conditions
that must be met prior to the issuance of building permit:
1. An individual sewage disposal system is required for the proposed facility and
shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal
Regulations. The septic system is required to be designed by a Colorado
Registered Professional Engineer according to the Weld County Individual
Sewage Disposal Regulations.

2. The applicant shall submit evidence of an Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Class V Injection Well permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for any large-capacity septic system (a septic system with the capacity to serve
20 or more persons per day). Alternately, the applicant can provide evidence
from the EPA that they are not subject to the EPA Class V requirements.
3. The installation of the septic system shall comply with the Weld County I.S.D.S.
flood plain regulations. No septic system shall be installed within the floodway.
Please contact Weld County Public Works to verify flood plain vs. floodway.
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
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended) shall be stored and removed for
final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater
contamination.

Chris,
Here are my comments regarding this proposal:
1. A new access permit will be necessary.
2. The access will require the construction of an eastbound to northbound left turn
lane per the traffic impact study.
3. Projected ROW need in this area is 75' feet either side of the highway centerline.
I'm guessing that we obtained the appropriate ROW when we did the original Fisher
permits.
