Environmental Health Services, Weld County Department of Public Health &
Environment.
6. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public
Health & Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following:
1) A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site (this should
include expected volumes and types of waste generated).
2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site.
3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including
the facility name, address, and phone number).
4) Solids and sediment will accumulate in the storage tanks. The waste handling plan
shall include a detailed plan that describes the method of how those solids will be

5) The waste handling plan shall provide a commitment to notify the Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment in writing, in the event the plan is
amended. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment.
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as
conditions that must be met prior to release of building permits:
1. The facility shall post financial assurance with the COGCC. The financial assurance
shall be adequate to cover a third-party closure of the facility, including the plugging
and abandonment of the well, in accordance with industry standards, and the
removal of all structures (including concrete) on the facility. The site shall be
returned to its original grade. The facility shall submit evidence to Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment that the appropriate financial
assurance has been obtained.

meets, or exceeds, the function of a concrete system with regard to containment, spills, and
unintended releases.
5. The applicant shall submit documentation to the Weld County Department of Public
Health and Environment and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
that the facility was constructed in accordance with the application materials.
6. The applicant shall submit documentation to the Weld County Department of Public
Health and Environment that a recycling facility registration with the CDPHE

condition that must be met one month prior to operation:
1. A PE certified and signed copy of the Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure Plan, prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of
40 CFR, Part 112 shall be provided to Environmental Health Services Division of
the Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment. Alternatively, if
the applicant makes a determination that due to the location, the facility cannot
reasonably be expected to discharge oil as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b), the
applicant will provide rationale and supporting documentation to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public
Health & Environment explaining why that facility does not have an SPCC Plan.

Eric,
I've looked over the traffic impact study that John Aldridge did and sent our
inspector out to look at the intersection. While you don't need to make
improvements to the highway in the form of turn lanes, the intersection radius looks
like it could use some widening.
If you decided to proceed, it would be our recommendation that the radii be
widened and that would require a new access permit.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Case No. USR14-0003
Sec. 26, T8N, R6OW, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 1
Dear Mr. Gathman:
This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-
101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011
memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral
information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water
supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or
requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water
supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
The applicant is seeking a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review permit
for an oil and gas support and service facility, described as a Class II Oilfield Waste Disposal Facility,
on a parcel of approximately 470 acres. The site is more specifically described as a salt water disposal
facility with the capability to recycle the water. Recycled water will be used both for oilfield use and
potentially for rinsing out trucks and tanks. Water for dust control purposes is proposed to be provided
by water trucks.
The proposed facility will have approximately ten employees and will operate 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. The proposed water supply source for employee use is a commercial water well.
Expedition Water Solutions has submitted an application under receipt no. 3663631 to construct a new
well on the subject property for commercial purposes. The application is incomplete and will likely be
returned to the applicant for additional information and documentation.
We suggest that approval of the minor amendment to use by special review be withheld until the
necessary well permit is approved. Should you or the applicant have any questions, please contact
Sarah Brucker of this office.
Sincerely,
Fru
