1. BACKGROUND AND PROPOSAL
Under the new pipeline regulations, compressor stations are considered an appurtenance.
The county would only review pipelines and appurtenants if the line is greater than 12" in
diameter and over two miles in length or any pipeline that is over five miles in length
regardless of the diameter. In light of the new regulations the Applicant felt is was
appropriate to apply for this Special Use Permit due to the scope of this project and that it is
part of a phased plant that has been issued two prior Special Use Permits.
The Building and Planning Department is in receipt of this Special Use Permit (SUP)
application for "Storage, Processing, and Material Handling of Natural Resource" for a Phase
3 of the Williams Parachute Creek Gas Plant. The plant is owned by Williams and is
operated by Bargath Inc. The overall tract of land is 1,333 acres, specifically Phase 3 is
proposed on an 11.18 acre expansion area. This area is directly abutting Phases 1 and 2.
To date, the phasing of the gas plant is as follows:
1
• Phase 1 approved in 2002, Resolution #2002-67
• Phase 2 approved in 2004, Resolution # 2005-09
As required in §9.03.04 of the Zoning Regulations, this request was heard by the Board of
County Commissioners for a possible referral to the Planning Commission. The Board voted
not to refer this item to the Planning Commission. This decision was based the historic
industrial use of the property, the existence of the gas plant — Phases 1 and 2 and the road
improvements to the intersection of CR 215 and Man Camp Road, that were a condition of
approval for Phase 2.
The proposed Phase 3 will increase the total capacity from 300,000,000 standard cubic feet
of natural gas per day to 800,000,000. There are 4 new buildings proposed:
• Compressor Building 75'X450' (30,000 sq. ft.)
• Amine Regen Building 70'X100' (7,000 sq. ft.)
• MCC/Control Building 50'X75' (3,750 sq. ft.)
• Warehouse/Office Building 75'X200' (14,000 sq. ft.)
In addition to the buildings, seven residue gas compressors will be installed at the site. At
this time, four of the seven compressors have been permitted by the Air Control Division. It is
the intention of the Applicant to apply for all seven compressors with the County and if
approved the additional three compressors will have to be permitted by the State prior to
installation. Residential Grade exhausts silencers will be installed on the compressors and
the compressors will be enclosed by a pre-engineered building. Pursuant to Cause NO.1R
and Order No.1 R-99 from the COGCC, the Applicant will be required to meet the new noise
standards if construction commences after January 1, 2007.
The plant will operate 7 days a week 365 days a year 24 hours per day. Currently there are
20 full time employees working at the gas plant. 18 tanker trucks serve the plant on a daily
basis. The proposed Phase will add 17 full time employees to the plant. Traffic will increase
to 17 additional tanker trucks per day as well as employees commuting to and from the plant.
The Applicant has submitted all State and Federal associated permits with the application
materials for this Special Use Permit.
2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SPECIAL USE PERMITS
§5.03 Conditional and Special Uses (Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended)
1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on
accepted engineering standards and approved by the Board of County
Commissioners shall either be in place or shall be constructed in
conjunction with the proposed use.
•
Staff Comments: Proposed for Phase 3 is to truck in non -potable water that will be stored in
a 5,000 gallon tank. For potable water, the Applicant is proposing to supply the plant with
water from Mountain Clear in 5 gallon bottles. This proposed water source is similar to what
was approved in the Phase 2 Special Use Permit. In Phase 1, the BOCC required the
Applicant to supply water via a well — a perpetual source. The approved water sources are in
conflict between Phases 1 and 2. Staff would opine a 5,000 gallon storage tank and bottled
water is not a perpetual source of water. In Phase 1 the Applicant was required to provide
water from a well with an approved test for adequacy and quality. This form of water does
meet the County's requirement for a physical, legal and adequate source of water. In light of
this application, it is worth discussing the impact this Special Use Permit will have in regard to
the need for a perpetual source of water. For the Phase 3 the water source will be used for
sanitary needs as well as drinking water. The Applicant is proposing an individual sewage
disposal system. This system will be reviewed by the County prior to issuance of an ISDS
permit
2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated
by the proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use
shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the
proposed use.
Staff Comments: Pursuant to Resolution 2005-09, the Applicant was required to install
additional signage and improvements regarding striping for acceleration and deceleration
lanes. These improvements occurred spring of 2005. The Applicant met with Garfield
County Road and Bridge on September 13, 2005 on site to inspect the improvements. A
Special Use Permit was issued for Phase 2 meeting all the requirements of the Resolution
including the improvements to the intersection of CR 215 and Man Camp Road.
3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from
adjacent uses of land through installation of screen fences or landscape
materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized
areas, access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect
established neighborhood character.
Staff Comments: The proposed facility will be directly adjacent to Phases 1 and 2. All of the
adjacent uses are industrial. The proposed structures will be painted to match the existing
buildings. The facility will be similar to the existing gas plant that includes Phases 1 and 2.
An eight foot high fence will be installed around the perimeter of the facility, to insure safety
and security. Although the site will be visible from adjoining property, it will be compatible
with existing uses and will not detract from the "neighborhood character"
§5.03.07 Industrial Operations
(1) The Applicant for a permit for industrial operations shall prepare and
submit to the Planning Director ten (10) copies of an impact statement on
the proposed use describing its location, scope, design and construction
schedule, including an explanation of its operational characteristics.
3
• •
One (1) copy of the impact statement shall be filed with the County
Commissioners by the Planning Director. The impact statement shall
address the following:
(A) Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of
surface run-off, stream flow or ground water.
Staff Comments: The Applicant is proposing a storm water management plan that
incorporates best management practices as required by the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Safety for any disturbance over one acre. Additionally the Applicant is proposing
a spill prevention control and countermeasure plan that should spill or accidents happen, the
Applicant will be able to contain them. The management plan and countermeasures are in
compliance with local, state and federal guidelines.
(B)Impacts on adjacent land from the generation of vapor, dust,
smoke, noise, glare or vibration, or other emanations.
Staff Comments: The proposed compressors will be run by engines that will have an
exhaust system that is muffled to mitigate any unlawful noise. Any exhausted air shall meet
all State and Federal guidelines. The Applicant has submitted proper documentation of all
State permits. Paint colors for the proposed buildings will be the same as existing buildings
which properly mitigate any glare from the buildings housing the operations. Through
foundation design and geotechnical reports vibration from rotating equipment will not be
detectable.
(C) Impacts on wildlife and domestic animals through the creation of
hazardous attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation,
blockade of migration routes, use patterns or other disruptions.
Staff Comments: Through a meeting with CDOW on site on August 30, 2004 the
Department of Wildlife agreed that an eight foot fence would be acceptable to wildlife
mitigation in the area. Williams is also active in meeting with the CDOW to review wildlife
enhancement projects and to participate in "Operation Game Thief". In the 4th of a 5 year
study within the area, Dr. Kirk Beattie of Rifle has seen no significant difference in deer
density.
(D) Affirmatively show the impacts of truck and automobile traffic to
and from such uses and their impacts to areas in the County.
Staff Comments: The required road improvements from the previous SUP are in place. A
detailed traffic analysis dated 11-10-05 is submitted with the application materials showing
the existing and proposed uses will yield a Level of Service "A" at the CR 215 and Man Camp
Road.
(E) That sufficient distances shall separate such use from abutting
property which might otherwise be damaged by operations of the
proposed use(s).
Staff Comments: The area of the gas plant has a history of industrial uses. The subject
property is over 1,333 acres which aids in buffering from some adjoining uses. Other
adjoining uses within the area are inductstrial in nature and should not be damaged by this
4

proposed expansion.
(F) Mitigation measures proposed for all of the foregoing impacts
identified and for the standards identified in Section 5.03.08 of this
Resolution.
Staff Comments: The Applicant is proposing an eight foot high fence around the entire
perimeter of the site that will provide safety and security.
(2) Permits may be granted for those uses with provisions that provide
adequate mitigation for the following:
(A) A plan for site rehabilitation must be approved by the County
Commissioners before a permit for conditional or special use will be
issued.
Staff Comments: The Applicant is proposing the following rehabilitation measures:
1. Removal of all surface equipment
2. Restoration and re -contouring of grade to approximate original
conditions
3. Topsoil replacement
4. Seedbed preparations, soil tillage
5. Seed mixtures, methods and times
6. Weed control plan
7. Compliance with all prevailing COGCC and Garfield County
conditions governing final reclamation
(B)The County Commissioners may require security before a permit
for special or conditional use is issued, if required. The Applicant
shall furnish evidence of a bank commitment of credit, bond,
certified check or other security deemed acceptable by the County
Commissioners in the amount calculated by the County
Commissioners to secure the execution of the site rehabilitation
plan in workmanlike manner and in accordance with the
specifications and construction schedule established or approved
by the County Commissioners. Such commitments, bonds or check
shall be payable to and held by the County Commissioners.
Staff Comments: It shall be at the discretion of the Board to determine whether security is
needed.
(C) Impacts set forth in the impact statement and compliance with the
standards contained in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution. (A. 93-
061)
