The employees will park their personal vehicles at the site during the hours of operation. Not all of the commercial vehicles and equipment stored on the site will be used daily.

The proposed facility is located on approximately 1.89 acres of Prime (Irrigated), per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
