Case Summary:
The applicants are proposing to construct a Class II Underground Injection Well and oil and gas
construction laydown yard. The USR site will be located on an 80.09 acre parcel. The USR site will be a
lease area and will encompass approximately 11.74 acres of this parcel for their injection well/laydown
area. The applicant has applied for a Subdivision Exemption (SUBX13-0030)for this lease area in
conjunction with this application. The proposed facility would be surrounded by a six-foot chainlink fence.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20 G.2 A.Policy 7.2 of the Weld County Code states:" Conversion of
agricultural land to nonurban residential, commercial and industrial uses should be
accommodated when the subject site is in an area that can support such development,
and should attempt to be compatible with the region."
USR13-0066, Bill Barrett Corporation, Page 2 of 10
Section 22-2-20 1.2 A.Policy 9.2 of the Weld County Code states: "Consider the
individuality of the characteristics and the compatibility of the region of the County that
each proposed land use change affects, while avoiding requirements that do not fit the
land use for that specific region."
Section 22-4-140 B. EP.Goal 2. of the Weld County Code 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."
The site is located in a sparsely populated rural area. The nearest residences are located
approximately 1.5 to 2 miles to the west of the site.
Section 22-4-140 B. 1. EP.Policy 2.1 of the Weld County Code states: "In reviewing the
operational and reclamation plans for solid and brine waste disposal facilities, the County
should impose such conditions as necessary to minimize or eliminate the potential
adverse impact of the operation on surrounding properties and wildlife resources."
The site is in a rural agricultural area. The nearest single family residences are located
approximately 1.5 to 2 miles to the west of the site. Development standards and
conditions of approval (on site lighting is required to be shielded and downcast and the
facility and a noise limit development standard is attached) are proposed to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding area.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County Code allows Oil and
Gas Support and Service Facilities (Disposal and Recycling Sites for Production Waste)
as a Use by Special Review Permit in the A(Agricultural)Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The proposed site is surrounded by rural land (dry land
agricultural land and rangeland). The nearest single family residences are located
approximately 1.5 to 2 miles to the west of this site. No phone calls or correspondence
have been received from surrounding property owners in regards to this case.
Development standards and conditions of approval (on site lighting is required to be
shielded and downcast and a noise limit development standard is attached) are proposed
to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the
future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of
affected municipalities.
The site is not located within a three (3) mile referral area of any municipality, nor is it
located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA)of a municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The existing site is within the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Area and the
Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the
County-Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
USR13-0066, Bill Barrett Corporation, Page 3 of 10

prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on land delineated as "Other" per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 — There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards

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.
USR13-0066, Bill Barrett Corporation, Page 9 of 10
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.
