DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The Applicant seeks a Land Use Change Permit for an "Animal Processing Facility ". The facility will be operated by Eagle Springs Organics as 'Outwest Meat and Seafood at Eagle Springs' where animals will be slaughtered and processed. The application states that cutting and packaging of the meat is proposed to occur at the butcher shop in the City of Rifle where the product will be sold, however information has been provided that the facility will include butchering and packaging of the meat on- site. The application is not clear with regard to the types of animals that are proposed to be processed at the facility, however much of the information in the application discusses cattle/beef. Information provided at the site visit (May 29, 2015) informed the county Staff that swine, goats, and sheep are also proposed to be processed at the site although the Applicant has stated that no wild game will be processed at this site. An adjacent facility currently processes fowl at a USDA-exempt facility and that chicken processing is not a part of the current application for USDA approval. llPag e Figure 1-Animal Processing Area Figure 2 -Site and Access -Eagle Spring Ranch Road Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 21Page Figure 3 -Closeup of Processing Facility Plann i ng Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 EXISTING C / WATER SUPPLY TA.'iKS / F~ USE 4T BOlH /f!l(lsnsc HOUSE AND STCa \_::::-· E~ENT. Figure 5 -Closeup of Water Storage and Chicken Processing Facility 3I Pag e Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 The meat product is proposed to be available for public sale and consumption; therefore the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will regulate and inspect the facility and related activities to protect the public safety. An Animal Processing Facility is defined in the 2013 Land Use and Development Code, as amended (LUDC) as "A USDA-inspected facility primarily engaged in slaughtering animals, preparing processed meats and meat byproducts, and/or rendering or refining animal fat, bones, and meat scraps. Excluded from this definition are custom meat processing and wild game processing facilities, as defined and permitted by the USDA and CDPHE." The application does not request rendering or refining of animal fat, bones or meat scraps at the facility. A custom meat processing facility currently exists on the site as this facility is exempt from the definition of Animal Processing, specifically due to the fact that a custom facility does not result in product being sold for public consumption. This removes the facility from the regulatory standards imposed by the USDA and the LUDC. Conversion of the existing facility to a USDA facility requires a Land Use Change Permit from Garfield County, the intent of which is to determine if the facility meets the minimum standards contained in Article 7 of the 2013 Land Use and Development Code, as amended (LUDC). In order to determine if the standards are met, and to determine potential impacts, it is necessary to understand the slaughterhouse process. The sequence of events commences with delivery of animals to the facility, either St ugh ~·7- Figure 3 Slaug hter Process Sllddng anif blHcflng '1lf« I collecting trough Chllllngorfreezlng 41P age Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 via truck from local ranchers or from the adjacent Eagle Springs Organic operations. The diagram above illustrates the processing of the animals. From the description provided in the application materials Staff has determined that the facility is categorized as a 'simple slaughterhouse' meaning that the plant slaughters animals and does a very limited amount of by-product processing. The main products consist of fresh meat in the form of half or quarter carcasses or in smaller cuts of meat. The application states that the split and cut carcasses will be transported to a facility within the City of Rifle where butchering and packaging will occur prior to consumer sale . However, Staff was notified during the May 29th site visit that butchering and packaging would occur on-site at this facility. The slaughtering process results in by-products, both liquid and solid, which may be processed for consumption or which may be disposed of as solid or liquid waste. Staff assumes that no edible by- products are proposed to be processed in this facility as the application states that the solid waste will be refrigerated and then hauled daily by Waste Management to the landfill. The application is not clear on how the liquid waste will be disposed -specifically the blood and other fluids that will collect in floor drains located in the kill room and in the processing room. The OWTS design documents, page 3 of Exhibits in the Site Utility binder, Carla Ostberg of All Service Septic states that "Any floor drains or plumbing from the "kill room" must be collected in a vault and hauled, as needed. No OWTS has been designed for this portion of the slaughterhouse." The master butcher explained at the site visit that the floor drains are connected to an exterior tank which will be filled and then property disposed of at the landfill. Supplemental information submitted on June 1, 2015 states that "The butchering room facility drains have been designed to a 500 gallon per day OWTS system maximum capacity per State Guidelines." This statement appears to be contrary to the above information from All Service Septic. USDA INSPECTION A USDA-inspected facility requires an inspector to be on-site to ensure proper safety measures and processes have been complied with based upon USDA minimum standards. The USDA inspector examines the animals prior to slaughter to determine that the animal is healthy and the inspector remains onsite to ensure a humane slaughter of the animal. Once slaughtered, the skinning, evisceration and halving of the animal occurs under examination of the inspector. The meat is then accepted, graded and stamped as certified by the inspector. USDA regulatory compliance requires humane handling methods of livestock slaughter to a 1978 Act of the same name which requires activities be carried out only by humane methods. USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) also regulates the labeling process to protect consumers from misbranded and economically adulterated meat, poultry and egg products which ensure that all labels are truthful and not misleading. SIPaee 11. ADJACENT USES AND ZONING Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 The site is located east of the City of Rifle, the Garfield County Airport and the Airport Industrial Park. Access is south of exit 94of1-70, from CR 315 (Mamm Creek Road). Adjacent uses include agriculture, residential and oil & gas activities to the south and east. A variety of institutional, commercial and industrial uses occur to the west. Zoning, as indicated in Figure 2, right, shows Rural in the pale green, Public Airport Overlay in the bright green, City of Rifle in the bright yellow, PUD in the pale yellow and Industrial in the red. '111. REFFERAL AGENCY COMMENTS Submittal documentation was forwarded to numerous federal, state and local agencies for review and response. Road & Bridge, Exhibit L -Comments from Dan Goin, District 3 Foreman, responded that a concrete apron exists at the driveway so it appears to meet the Road & Bridge standards. Vegetation Management, Exhibit M -Steve Anthony requests that the applicant provide a noxious weed map and inventory of the 35-acre parcel and the adjacent easement and water tank site. Russian Knapweed is a concern for this site. A weed management plan will then be necessary to address treatment of any noxious weeds found on the site. Calculation of surface area of disturbance is also required to determine revegetation of the site. Environmental Health, Exhibit Q -Morgan Hill attended the May 29th site visit and identified concerns including the possibility of fugitive dust, water supply system including the hauling water scenario, wastewater management and current use of the facility. Ms. Hill recommends that an alternate water supply be provided to serve the site. Mountain Cross Engineering, Exhibit J -Chris Hale provided the following comments: Water -The proposed water hauling scenario is not typical and may not be a reliable source under drought conditions. 6IP ag e Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 The applicant should discuss what means and methods will be used to test, treat and maintain the water system to mitigate any contamination. The applicant should discuss how water for fire suppression is separate and preserved from the potable water. OWTS -The applicant should discuss how the animals will be kept off of the OWTS as pasture areas are shown where the OWTS is located. The existing house does not show connection to the water system or an existing OWTS therefore, the applicant sho1.1ld identify how the home is served with water and sanitation and verify the location and status of those improvements. Traffic -The traffic study assumes that the peak hour traffic will not be increased however, because there is traffic generated the applicant should explain this in greater detail or revise the . provided calculations . Misc. -The application does not mention what existing equipment is on-site versus what is necessary for USDA operation. The applicant should discuss the necessity of building permits for any improvements. CDPHE -Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Exhibit H -Dr. Melvin Gore has been involved in the review of the building and OWTS permits and he responded to Staff questions regarding the USDA process. FSIS General Rules state that "Each official establishment must be operated and maintained in a manner sufficient to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and to ensure that product is not adulterated." The USDA determines this by having an inspector on-site to determine that the animal is disease-free and to assure a safe and humane slaughter. Other comments include: Water -Only potable water may be used during the slaughter process and when producing food for human consumption. The process requires continual washing of hands, aprons, tools and equipment that may come in contact with edible product. Hauling of water to the site will require testing of the water in areas such as at faucets, hoses, etc. a minimum of twice per year. Sterilization is required for some equipment and tools, especially during the slaughter process. This can be done with water that is at 180 degrees Fahrenheit at the nozzle, or a chemical sanitizing agent such as bleach. Dr. Gore emphasizes that USDA-FSIS would only use potable water to formulate an acceptable sanitizing agent. Refrigeration -The carcasses after slaughter must be held at S45 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent any outgrowth of pathogens. 71Page Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 Disposal -The USDA regulates by-product storage to the extent that the waste material products do not contaminate or adulterate. the inspected and passed product. Any product intended for human consumption, including edible by-products is regulated by the USDA. The proposed method of disposal in this case is by a waste management company. The concern is in the holding or storage of the by-products which could result in flies or pests. CDPHE -Hazardous Materials/Waste, Exhibit G -Bob Peterson, Solid Waste and Materials Management Program, responded that the solid waste disposal is proposed to occur off-site. Colorado River Fire Rescue, Exhibits I, K and 0 -Orrin Moon provided initial comments regarding the project that no information was provided regarding fire protection and stated that additional information was necessary to determine that the proposed access road is adequate for fire truck access. An electric gate at the bottom of the driveway prevents fire district access therefore the District will require a Knox Box or Knox padlock for the gate. Addressing issues need to be resolved. Supplemental comments provided in Exhibit 0 state that the access road, from the solar array to the proposed facility, is not adequate for fire trucks. The road needs to be designed to carry 54,000 pounds (the weight of a fire truck) as well as be 20' in width with 50' outside turning radius and an adequate turnaround at the proposed facility. Mr. Moon also states that 18,000 gallons of water storage is required for fire protection as well as a fire hydrant attached pursuant to district requirements. One final comment relates to the Kill Room ceiling which is exposed wood covered in clear plastic -Mr. Moon states that the building will be required to meet the IBC code. City of Rifle, Exhibit N -Nathan Lindquist responded that they have no specific comments on the project. Community Development -Building Division, Exhibit R -Discussion with the Building Division regarding pending building and OWTS permits for this site has determined that there appear to be similarities, but inconsistencies, in the information contained in the Land Use Permit application. It would be appropriate to have a condition of approval regarding issuance of the building and OWTS permits consistent with the information provided in the Land Use application. Exhibit R contains conditions related to the building permit. No comments have been received from: Colorado Parks and Wildlife County Sheriff County Airport SIP age IV. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 !SE CTION 4-105. MAJOR IMPACT RE ~IEW;_ _. ·-------------- C. Review Criteria. An application shall comply with the applicable standards of this Code . ----- Where the proposed Development will impact specific features of the site, the Applicant shall describe both the existing conditions and the potential changes created by the project. The Impact Analysis shall include a complete description of how the Applicant will ensure that impacts will be mitigated and standards will be satisfied. The following information shall be included in the Impact Analysis: 1. Adjacent Land Use. Existing use of adjacent property and neighboring properties within 1,500-foot radius. Staff Comment: Eagle Springs Organic property to the south contains agricultural uses such as greenhouses and grazing, oil & gas production pads, and a solar array. Other uses to the south and east are primarily agricultural and residential in nature. Uses to the west include public airport as well as other institutional uses, industrial and oil & gas related uses. 2. Site Features . A description of site features such as streams, areas subject to flooding, lakes, high ground water areas, topography, vegetative cover, climatology, and other features that may aid in the evaluation of the proposed Development. Staff Comment: The application states to "Please see Site Plan for site features and vegetation on the existing site." The overall site plan does not indicate the site features including streams or ditches, however it does include topography. The plan appears to indicate some vegetation on the site however there is no labeling to make a determination of the vegetation type. 3. Soil Characteristics. A description of soil characteristics of the site that have a significant influence on the proposed use of the land. Staff Comment: HP Geotech appears to have performed gradation and hydrometer analyses and determined the soils classification as ·Sandy Clay Loam. No analysis was provided regarding any influence of the soils on the proposed land use . 9IP age Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 4. Geology and Hazard. A description of the geologic characteristics of the area including any potential natural or manmade hazards , and a determ.ination of what effect such factors would have on the proposed use of the land. Staff Comment: The application states that the site is relatively flat, however the County Hazard maps, left, indicate that moderate slope hazard exists on the site . The on-site driveway access must traverse through this hazard area. 5. Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge Areas . Evaluation of the relationship of the subject parcel to Floodplains, the nature of soils and subsoils and their ability to adequately support waste disposal, the Slope of the land, the effect of sewage effluents, and the pollution of surface runoff, stream flow, and groundwater. Staff Comment : The applicati on states that the site is not located within a floodplain, however there is no evaluation of the nature of the soils, pollution of surface runoff, groundwater or the effect of sewage effluents. 6. Environmental Impacts. Determination of the existing environment al conditions on the parcel to be developed and the effects of development on those conditions : Staff Comment: The application states that the operations will occur within a closed facility and therefore there will be no environmental impact and that the operations are consistent w ith general agri culture use in Ga rfield County. 7. Nuisance. Impacts on adjacent land from generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration, or other emanati ons. Staff Comment : The application states that there are no anticipated nu isance impacts from the operation . 8. Hours of operat ion . The Applicant shall submit information on the hours of operat ion of the proposed use. Staff Comment: The application states that hours of operation are anticipated to be "daylight hours" Monday through Friday, but that it was difficult to determine how many days per week operations would occur . lDIP a ge ARTICLE 7: STANDARDS DIVISION 1. GENERAL APPROVAL STANDARDS. Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 The following standards are approval standards that shall apply to all proposed Land Use Changes, including Divisions of Land, not otherwise exempt from the standards set forth in this Code. STAFF COMMENT: The Applicant has stated that the other information in the application collectively addresses the Animal Processing standards. Applicant response to Article 7, Divisions 1, 2, and 3 refer only to the site plan and other engineering documents provided and do not sufficiently elaborate or detail a full response. Staff has attempted to distiil the submittal information in order to provide a response to each standard. !§gg!fQ]:J :J9J:~-~ --~ONE-:DISTRICT USE REGULATION~ Staff Comment: The site appears to comply with the Rural Zone District requirements regarding land use restrictions and dimensional requirements. !S ECTION 7-102.

Staff Comment: The application does not discuss the Comprehensive Plan in the application. In Staff's evaluation there are components of the Comprehensive that are consistent with the project, particularly Section 6, Agriculture. However the project is not generally consistent with Water and Sewer Services . ..,---.,.--------------- Staff Comment: The nature, scale and intensity of the proposed use is compatible with adjacent land uses. Staff Comment: This standard requires that " ... an adequate, reliable, physical, long-term, and legal Water Tank Structure water supply to serve the use ... " be provided. The submittal indicates that water will be obtained the water from municipal sources, hauled to the site and stored in 3-2,000 gallon tanks {not 3-2,500 gallons tanks as stated in the application). However, contrary information was provided that the 111ra 0 c Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 Applicant may consider extending the City of Rifle water from the Airport area. No additional information has been provided regarding this proposal therefore the review of this application considers the water hauling scenario. The hauled and stored water scenario proposes to serve the animal processing facility as well as adjacent single family home, the chicken processing facility, and provide irrigation for the site (page 4 of the Site Utility Report). The application had originally stated that the 6,000 gallon capacity of the system would require water delivery every 64 days, however supplemental information submitted on June 1, 2015 states that water usage will require delivery every 6 days. The site of the water tanks is located on an adjacent to the subject parcel and an easement exists between an adjacent parcel and the subject parcel for the water tanks. The photo below, Figure 10, shows the water tank access. A warning system is in place that will indicate when the tanks are at half capacity. Morgan Hill responded, Exhibit Q that the current proposal to haul water is not a good long-term solution; the amount of water to be used for the site appears variable and seems too low. Staff Comment: An existing water distribution system will deliver water from the storage tanks to the facility as well as to the other uses that it serves. There are inconsistencies and issues with regard to the use of the OWTS, particularly for liquid waste from the kill room. 121Page Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 Staff Comment: The application states that all utilities are currently onsite with no modifications and refers to the Site Utility Report. The Site Utility Report lists electric service as being provided by Holy Cross Electric through overhead lines throughout the site and natural gas is provided by Xcel Energy. f$ECTION 7-107. Staff Comment: Access is proposed to be from two locations off of CR 315 (Ma mm Creek Road). These photos show the northernmost access to the site which exists on the subject property. The second proposed access is off of Eagle Springs Ranch Road located approximately 1 miles south of the driveway and traverses through adjacent property to access the subject site. Information has been provided that the driveway does not meet county standards and is therefore proposed to be employee access during the summer months only. All other vehicles will enter the facility from Eagle Springs Ranch Rd via CR 315 . 13IPa g c Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 14 I P a g e Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 It appears that there are difficulties with access from either of the proposed routes. Eagle Springs Ranch Road appears to be sufficient for a certain distance but once on the Eagle Spring Organic property the access roads do not appear to meet county standards as is evidences by ponding, potholes, and lack of grading and drainage. There has not been adequate information submitted, including road plans and profiles, to determine if the physical access roads meet the county standards. There is evidence from the Fire District (Exhibits I, Kand O) that the existing access is neither safe nor adequate to serve the proposed use . Orrin Moon, Colorado River Fire Rescue, Exhibit 0, states that a section of the access road (from the solar arrays north) is not adequate for fire trucks. Staff Comment: County hazard maps indicate that the western and northern portions of the site are located in a moderate slope hazard area. It appears that some of the access roads are located in the slope hazard area and the main reason why the existing site driveway does not meet county standards due to steepness of the grade . Once on top of the site the land becomes level. Staff Comment: Orrin Moon, Colorado River Fire Rescue provided three sets of comments on the application, Exhibits I, Kand 0. Mr. Moon states that there is no information regarding fire protection in the application and instead the application refers to a County building permit application. County Building Staff reviewed this application (Exhibit R) and it appears that a condition of the building permit is that the applicant "Contact local fire district for pertinent IFC requirements, Fire District final approval report is required for final/completion inspection." Fire suppression for the site is unknown. The District will require 18,000 gallons of stored and accessible water for fire fighting. Access is also an issue identified in the comments particularly that the main access road is not shown in the application materials. Access to the site via the driveway is not possible due to an electric gate and the District requires that a Knox Box or Knox Padlock be installed for access. Another access issue includes the addressing of the site from CR 315; the addresses should be off of Eagle Springs Ranch Road so that emergency responders can accurately locate the site. After attending the May 29 1 h site visit the District provided final comments, Exhibit 0, related to inadequate access and a lack of water supply for firefighting. Issues were identified with the processing facility structure in that the Kill Room ceiling is exposed wood covered in plastic which needs to be designed to meet the IBC code . 15 I P a g e Planning Comm ission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 DIVISION 2. GENERAL RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS. The following resource protection standards shall apply to all proposed Land Use Changes, including Divisions of Land and exempt Subdivisions, not otherwise exempt from the standards set forth in this Code. SE Cl]Q:~rr=-~gI;__ A GRIC ULTURAL L ~NDS . Staff Comment: This code section includes several standards including impact to agricultural operations, domestic animal control, fencing, roads and irrigation ditches. The applicant responded to the first component that this operation is to support agricultural operations. No demonstration of compliance with domestic animal controls was provided nor was discussion of irrigation ditches or fences included in the submittal documents . SECTIQN 7 :.2_02.-. -)'v lDfLIF E Hj\BI TAT ARE J\S. Staff Comment : No information was provided regarding applicant consultation with CPW or a wildlife biologist.

No information has been provided for the existing structure and the app l ication states that there is "No change in the site to trigger additional concerns." The site plan does include arrows that may designate flow on the site . Acquisition of a Land Use Change Permit requires demonstration of adequate site drainage regardless of whether there are proposed or existing structures related to the use. Staff Comment: Air and water quality are reviewed to determine that the proposed use will not be adversely impacted. Morgan Hill with Environmental Health, Exhibit Q, recommends that fugitive dust mitigation occur due to penning of livestock. The interior roads should also have dust mitigation. It does not appear that water quality would be impacted as no hazardous materials will be used or stored at the site . Staff Comment: The applicant provided no response to wildfire hazard for the site . Wildfire Hazard Mapping is shown in Figure 15 which indicates a low hazard for the subject site .

This section of the code discusses the requirement for a weed management plan. Steve Anthony, Vegetation Management, responded to the request for comments, Exhibit M, that the site is a concern due to the presence of Russian knapweed. Mr. Anthony requires that an inventory and map of noxious weeds be provided as well as a plan to address treatment. DIVISION 3. SITE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS . 7-3 Qj .. COMPATIBLE DESIGN . Staff Comment: Compat i ble des ign is a concept that site organization and operational characte ri st ics should avoid nuisances and be generally compatible with adjacent properties. The application response to demonstrating compliance with this standard is "Please see attached Site Plan prepared by HCE". Thought the site plan reflects few details in regard to compatible design, Staff believes that the proposed use is agricultural in nature and therefore is consistent with adjacent agricultural uses. The processing facility is located such that there would be little impact to adjacent property. 7-302 . -OFF:StREET.PJ\J~]<'.INGAND LOADING-.. _ _ . §!~'!DARI:)_~ ... Staff Com·ment: The application response to compliance with this standard is to "Please see attached Site Plan prepared by HCE". The provision of necessary parking is related to the use. In this instance the calculation of number of spaces is based upon the square footage of the facility itself. The site plan indicates that five employee parking spaces (10' x 20') will be provided as well as one handicapped parking space. Staff was unable to locate the numbers to demonstrate the square footage of the facility and there unable to determine that this number of spaces meets the LUDC requirements. 17 I P a g e ll-:303 . l.ANDS CAPTNG-ST ANDARDS .. _ Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 Staff Comment: No response was provided to this standard .

All facilities shall be in compliance with USDA, CDPHE, and any other Federal, State, and local regulations. Staff Comment: The application contains an updated application to the USDA. V. STAFF ANALYSIS A. VIOLATIONS AND TIMING This application resulted from a Notice of Violation (NOV) issued on February 20, 2014. The County Staff and referral agencies have all wor ked to assist the Applicant in obtaining perm its related to zoning and land use as well as building and OWTS permits necessary to bring the site into compliance. The Planning Division has held at least two Pre-Application Conferences with the Applicant's representatives, the first of which occurred on March 14, 2014 and resulted in submittal of an application on October 21, 2014. The application did not meet the submittal requirements and was subsequently withdrawn on January 8, 2015 . The application was resubmitted on March 6, 2015 . Staff had previously provided a detailed response with regard to necessary information to determine technical completeness; however the resubmitted information remained technically incomplete. In the hopes of assisting the Applicant seek a remedy for the outstanding NOV Staff determined to move the current application forward to hearing. 1s I P " g e Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 It appears that the Applicant has determined that review of the project is only related to the USDA approval, this is contrary to the information provided by Staff in the pre-application conference summary form and in the technically incomplete correspondence. The intent of the land use review process is to determine if the proposal satisfies the required minimum standards of the LUDC. B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION /DISCREPANCIES There are numerous discrepancies in the application materials, including the size of the water tanks, the types and numbers of animals to be processed, the amount of water necessary to serve the property, OWTS requirements, traffic/access and solid and liquid waste disposal. The Applicant has provided plans and documentation without benefit of analysis which has placed the burden of interpreting the information on the County Staff and referral agencies. The limited information provided in the application project description is not indicative of the actual proposed use of the property, as became evident when Staff completed a site visit on May 29, 2015. A revised application packet should be submitted that replaces the prior submittals in their entirety and which clearly describes the proposed project and provides analysis with regard to compliance with the standards in Article 7 of the LUDC. C. ACCESS Access to the facility is from CR 315 (Mamm Creek Road). The application proposed to utilize: 1) Existing driveway P.lltCZL :U: ::J'?'RllLGOUt $,::-;......:.,""::.::':;-:.,";"',;=:.~--·- PAllCIL m :U'tOIT.>OOU.l •--• .. ••- '9'.uaJ. m Z11t:e.toono ,.._~=~-;:~·.r=--::.·-- :.,:-.~~...t'lt.-::.....,_,.. .. ---- Figure 17 -Proposed access map, June 1, 2015 The existing driveway does not meet county standards with regard to road width and grade . The application proposed to use this access in the summer for employees only. This access may not be safe and adequate for employee seasonal use. During the site visit we were told that delivery of animals sometimes occurs via this driveway as well. 191Pa ge 2) Eagle Springs Ranch Road Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 i. Legal Access -The above plan indicating Eagle Springs Ranch Road contains a note referencing an easement recorded at reception number 857779. Research into the Clerk's records indicates that this easement was recorded December 31, 2014. The easement specifically references the operation of a meat processing facility and allows access to move livestock and allow non-exclusive ingress to, egress from and travel over Eagle Springs for Ken Sack his employees and agents. ii. Physical Access -The above plans, Figure 16, indicates an access route different from the route travelled by Staff at the site visit. Photographs of the existing ranch roads, and fire district comments, show that road improvements are necessary for fire apparatus access as well as access compliant with the LUDC. Currently physical access is not sufficient to serve the use. 0. WATER 1) Legal Water -The applicant proposed to haul water from municipal sources . The Board has found in the past that this is not a long-term dependable water supply. However the Board has on occasion permitted hauled water for temporary uses only. It was recently brought to Staff's attention, on May 31, 2015 that the Applicant was in discussion with the City of Rifle to determine if there was a possibility of extending water from the Airport area to serve the site -therefore the Applicant has stated that the hauled water scenario may be temporary if water from the City of Rifle is possible. The ab i lity to obtain water from the City would need to be supported by an agreement the City . 2) Physical Water -Staff questions the numbers provided with regard to water usage for the property. The processing facility under review is not the only facility accessing the hauled water -this water serves multiple uses including the single family home, chicken processing facility (shown as Existing Single Family Home on the site plan) and irrigation, in addition to the meat processing facility. The application states that 4 gallons of water per cow is required for processing and that 1 gallon of water is required to process one chicken. Staff research has identified that washing hands on average uses 1 gallon of water, and that processing of chickens uses 11.6 gallons per the EPA . The original application stated that the 7,500 gallon storage would require refilling every 64 days . The verified storage tank capacity is 6,000 gallons and the revised information now states that the tanks will need to be filled once every 6 days . There appears to be a disconnect between the demand, storage capacity and refill timeline. E. SANITATION -OWTS permits have been submitted to the Building Division and are pending issuance of a Land Use Change Permit for the proposed use. Staff, including Environmental Health, is unclear as to what sort of materials will actually be entering the second OWTS designed for the facility. Specifically the OWTS design states that "Any floor drains or plumbing from the "kill room" must be collected in a vault and hauled, as needed. No OWTS has been designed for this portion of the slaughterhouse." Information provided by the Applicant on June 1, 2015 appears to indicate that the OWTS will process the waste from the kill room. 20 I P a g e F. SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE - Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 1) Solid Waste -The animal heads, viscera and carcasses are considered solid waste and will be stored in the refrigerated room to be hauled daily to the landfill {according to the application materials). During the site visit, facility Staff discussed the possibility of contamination would prevent the storage of the solid waste materials in proximity to the inspected meat. Staff is unsure as to how the waste will be stored prior to disposal. (Staff comment: Information on June 1st appears to indicate that 'variety meat' processing would occur -this would include some the materials that would otherwise be considered solid waste requiring disposal). 2) Liquid Waste -This issue is discussed above in OWTS. G. PROVISION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION -The Applicant submitted supplemental information on June 1, 2015. This information included response to referral agency comments however, it did not include any supporting plans, documents or verification letters. The application materials are not sufficient in planning detail or engineering, or adequately demonstrate the compliance with the minimum standards of the LUDC. Each submittal of additional information has resulted in more questions andor additional inconsistencies. H. FIRE PROTECTION -The proposed fire protection for the site is to install fire extinguishers in the structure. No water is proposed to be available for firefighting purposes; therefore the District is requiring 18,000 gallons of water for firefighting. No information has been provided regarding where this storage could be located on the site. I. REFFERAl AGENCY REVIEW -Referral agencies have not had the opportunity to review supplemental information that was submitted on June 1'1 • If additional information is submitted for review, the county provides a 21-day review period to those agencies consistent with state statute. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is unable to determine that the following minimum requirements have been satisfied and therefore recommends denial ofthe request due to the following issues: 1. That proposal is not compliant with Section 7-104 as adequate water is not available to serve the proposed use; 2. The proposal is not compliant with Section 7-105 as an adequate wastewater system to dispose of liquid waste is not available to serve the proposed use; 3. The proposal is not compliant with Section 7-107 as adequate access does not exist to serve the proposed use; 4. The proposal is not compliant with Section 7-109 as adequate fire protection is not available to serve the proposed use. 21 I P a g e VII. SUGGESTED FINDINGS Planning Commission June 10, 2015 MIPA8246 1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the Planning Commission. 2. That the hearing before the Planning Commission was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at that meeting. 3. That for the above stated and other reasons the request for a Land Use Change Permit is not in the best interest of the health, safety, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. 4 . That the applicati on cannot be determined to be in general conformance with Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030. 5. That the application has not met the requirements of the Garfield County 2013 Land Use and Development Code, as amended. VIII. PLANNING COMMISSION DELIBERATION AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission has the following options with regard to a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Recommend approval of the application; 2. Recommend denial of the application; 3. Continue the Public Hearing to request and/or reyiew additional information. DENIAL A recommendation of denial must be accompanied by findings to support the decision, which Staff has provided. This recommendation should also clearly state the minimum standards that have not been satisfied by the proposed use. CONTINUANCE A determination to continue the application should specify a hearing date certain, specification of information that was lacking that is required to be submitted, and deadlines for submittal of additional information. Staff is concerned that a 30-day continuance would not be sufficient given that referral agency review would be required on any additional review materials submitted. Staff is also concerned that the piecemeal submittal of information makes it difficult to find information and may result in inconsistencies . This could lead to confusion with regard to what is being proposed and/or approved. Should a continuance be considered Staff would recommend that the public hearing be continued to August 12, 2015 to allow for adequate time for submittal of additional documentation, review and analysis of the proposal. 221Page EXHIBIT I & From: To: Subject: Date: Peterson -COPHE.

Melvin Gore, DVM, SPHV c/o Colorado Homestead Ranches 741 West 5th St. Delta, CO 81416 Office: (970) 874 • 8637 Cell: (970) 371 • 8093 OFO •· Verifying Food Safety and Animal Welfare every day From: Kathy A. Eastley [mailto:keastley@qarfield-co unty.com] Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 12:17 PM To: Gore, Melvin -FSIS Cc: Garner, Roger -FSIS Subject: Ken Sack Slaughterhouse Dr. Gore, As you are aware I am reviewing the land use permit for the 'animal processing facility' on Ken Sack's property. I am interested in understanding the USDA inspection process associated with this use, as well as the general activities that take place during this process. Any response you could provide to the following questions would be great. 1. My understanding is that part of the USDA process is to 'certify' that the facility meets certain requirements-can you briefly let me know what those physical requirements are? Our standards were re-issued in 1997 /1998. The Agency had regulations that were very stringent if not micro-managing. I will send you a copy of what we currently go by . Our guidelines now are "Each official establishment must be operated and maintained in a manner sufficient to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and to ensure that product is not adulterated." There is broad discretion as to what constitutes an "insanitary'' condition . 2. Is a USDA inspector required to be on-site for the slaughter/processing in order to be USDA compliant? The USDA inspection appears to be twofold -the facility and the process are part of the inspection, is that correct? Actually, in the interest of sanitation, our duties are one fold: to assure that product(s) are prepared in a manner that prevents adulteration and the product is wholesome. Now to the first part of your question. For the slaughter process to be an inspected product, the Inspector must be on-site for each animal to be harvested so that we can look for diseases in the animal that would be unwholesome and to assure a safe and humane slaughter. Fabrication or the cutting up and preparation of the meat and poultry products, the Inspector does not have to be there the whole time but needs to stop in and assess the sanitation and handling of the meat and poultry. After the slaughter process is completed, the USDA mark of Inspection can be applied. If the carcass of whatever species is not wholesome, it is condemned and disposed of, in this case I saw ESO would be using the landfill. 3. Does the inspector remain on-site for the entire process or are there only certain stages of the process that are inspected? Please see answer #2. The slaughter process, the Inspector is on- site. The further processing or fabrication of products, the Inspector may come by and observe the sanitation performance of the plant. 4. A comment was made that in-edible by-products will be properly disposed of by Waste Management, does any agency regulate the storage of those by-products prior to pick-up for disposal? We regulate storage to the extent that the waste material products do not contaminate or adulterate the inspected and passed product. This Agency used to require a letter from the state stating that transport of inedible materials could be transported to local landfills. The Colorado Department of Agriculture State Veterinarians Office no longer issues these letters to official establishments in Colorado. The local health department, at their discretion, would be responsible to address the transport of inedible and condemned products off-site. 5. Does the USDA regulate by-products -those that may be used for human consumption (the viscera, blood, intestines, etc) and those by-products that may not be consumed but utilized for other products (such as the rendering process, tallow, hides, etc)? Yes, we regulate any meat and poultry product that is produced at an official establishment that is intended for human consumption to assure the products are wholesome and unadulterated. We do regulate some processes such as rendering if it is done on-site as well as edible fats and tallow which may be used in the cosmetic industry. Hides are not in our regulations unless they are prepared for human consumption (fried pig skin or chicherones). There is an outfit from Scottsbluff, NE currently buying and picking up hides from slaughter plants. 6. Are liquid by-products typically disposed of in the septic system? Some research describes the paunch as being disposed, in whole, in the sewer, is this standard? Others describe a process of washing out the paunch and screening the solids for disposal -any comments on these processes and what the county may need to consider? Blood is mostly disposed of in western Colorado. It may go to the local landfill. Paunch contents from ruminants typically go to landfills or used as fertilizer. The paunch, after being washed, can be used as edible by-product. Our interest would be if the holding or storage would create reservoirs of flies or pests. We would assure that this situation would be rectified immediately. 7. How large a role does potable water play in this process? I understand the need for water to clean up after the process but how is the water utilized in the slaughtering? This is a critical question due to the hauling of water to the site for storage in tanks which could result in possible contamination. It is of paramount concern to USDA-FSIS as well. During the slaughter process and in all departments producing food for human consumption, only potable water may be used. There is continual washing of hands, aprons, tools and equipment that may come in contact with edible product. See 416.2(g). In the case of private water systems and wells, we require testing of water for coliforms twice per year. Connection to domestic water entities, we request the test results yearly from that source. We are aware that Eagle Springs Organics (ESO) will be hauling water to the site. They will be required to test the water at a water site in the plant, such as faucet, hoses used for washing, etc, at a minimum of twice per year. If an Inspector suspects an insanitary condition resulting from the water, additional testing may be requested. 416.2(g)(l). 8. Some of the research I've done states that sterilization is required for cleaning purposes, any idea on how the sterilization may be affected if the plan is to use hauled water stored in outdoor tanks? Yes, there are some equipment and tools that must be sanitized frequently, especially during the slaughter process. The establishment can either use water that is at 180°F at the nozzle or a chemical sanitizing agent that is acceptable in food producing establishments. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or an organic iodine are also used at recommended concentrations. I must emphasize again, USDA-FSIS would only use potable water to formulate an acceptable sanitizing agent. 9. Refrigeration would appear to be necessary. You are correct. The carcasses after slaughter must be held at S45°F to prevent any outgrowth of pathogens. 10. My understanding is that they plan on processing cows, but they also want to retain the ability to use the facility for custom cut orders. Is there an issue with slaughtering multiple types of animals in one facility-cows, pigs, elk and deer? Cattle, swine, goats, and sheep can all be slaughtered there if ESO applied for those species in their application for inspection. Deer, elk, and bison (buffalo) may also be slaughtered if ESO has an approved application for "Voluntary Inspection." These would be ranch raised game animals. We are required to observe all slaughtered animals when the animal is alive to detect some disease conditions. As you may expect, big game animals harvested in the wild state would not qualify for the Federal mark of Inspection because an Inspector does not have the opportunity to observe the animal prior to slaughter. An official establishment may also apply to conduct "custom-exempt" slaughter operations. This situation would be in the case of a person bringing in an animal for slaughter and processing for their own use. In this case, the animals are identified as "custom" animals and the Inspector is not on-site during the total process. In such cases, an USDA-FSIS Inspector also performs a yearly review to check the water certificates, verified handling of the inedible products, written plans that address that all bovines were able to stand and move on their own, and some other items to assure that an official establishment is not handling animals that are unfit for human consumption. This is a record review process mostly but facilities are checked over as well. Any assistance you can provide in this review would be very helpful in understanding the land use. Thank you. I have included the section from our Regulations that are discussed in this email. The Regulation is 9 CFR 416. I also high-lighted some of the concerns you asked about.

Each official establishment must be operated and maintained in a manner sufficient to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and to ensure that product is not adulterated. § 416.2 Establishment grounds and facilities. (a)Grounds and pest control. The grounds about an establishment must be maintained to prevent conditions that could lead to insanitary conditions, adulteration of product, or interfere with inspection by FSIS program employees. Establishments must have in place a pest management program to prevent the harborage and breeding of pests on the grounds and within establishment facilities. Pest control substances used must be safe and effective under the conditions of use and not be applied or stored in a manner that will result in the adulteration of product or the creation of insanitary conditions. (b) Construction. (1) Establishment buildings, including their structures, rooms, and compartments must be of sound construction, be kept in good repair, and be of sufficient size to allow for processing, handling, and storage of product in a manner that does not result in product adulteration or the creation of insanitary conditions. (2) Walls, floors, and ceilings within establishments must be built of durable materials impervious to moisture and be cleaned and sanitized as necessary to prevent adulteration of product or the creation of insanitary conditions. (3) Walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and other outside openings must be constructed and maintained to prevent the entrance of vermin, such as flies, rats, and mice. (4) Rooms or compartments in which edible product is processed , handled , or stored must be separate and distinct from rooms or compartments in which inedible product is processed, handled, or stored, to the extent necessary to prevent product adulteration and the creation of insanitary conditions. (c) Light. Lighting of good quality and sufficient intensity to ensure that sanitary conditions are maintained and that product is not adulterated must be provided in areas where food is processed, handled, stored, or examined; where equipment and utensils are cleaned; and in hand-washing areas, dressing and locker rooms, and toilets. ( d) Ventilation. Ventilation adequate to control odors, vapors, and condensation to the extent necessary to prevent adulteration of product and the creation of insanitary conditions must be provided. (e) Plumbing. Plumbing systems must be installed and maintained to: (1) Carry sufficient quantities of water to required locations throughout the establishment; (2) Properly convey sewage and liquid disposable waste from the establishment; (3) Prevent adulteration of product, water supplies, equipment, and utensils and prevent the creation of insanitary conditions throughout the establishment; (4) Provide adequate floor drainage in all areas where floors are subject to flooding-type cleaning or where normal operations release or discharge water or other liquid waste on the floor; (5) Prevent back-flow conditions in and cross-connection between piping systems that discharge waste water or sewage and piping systems that carry water for product manufacturing; and (6) Prevent the backup of sewer gases. (f) Sewage disposal. Sewage must be disposed into a sewage system separate from all other drainage lines or disposed of through other means sufficient to prevent backup of sewage into areas where product is processed, handled, or stored. When the sewage disposal system is a private system requiring approval by a State or local health authority, the establishment must furnish FSIS with the letter of approval from that authority upon request. (g) Water supply and water, ice, and solution reuse. (1) A supply of running water that complies with the National Primary Drinking Water regulations (40 CFR part 141 ), at a suitable temperature and under pressure as needed, must be provided in all areas where required (for processing product, for cleaning rooms and equipment, utensils, and packaging materials, for employee sanitary facilities, etc.). If an establishment uses a municipal water supply, it must make available to FSIS, upon request, a water report, issued under the authority of the State or local health agency, certifying or attesting to the potability of the water supply. If an establishment uses a private well for its water supply, it must make available to FSIS, upon request, documentation certifying the potability of the water supply that has been renewed at least semi-annually. (2) Water, ice, and solutions (such as brine, liquid smoke, or propylene glycol) used to chill or cook ready- to-eat product may be reused for the same purpose , provided that they are maintained free of pathogenic organisms and fecal coliform organisms and that other physical, chemical, and microbiological contamination have been reduced to prevent adulteration of product. (3) Water, ice, and solutions used to chill or wash raw product may be reused for the same purpose provided that measures are taken to reduce physical, chemical, and microbiological contamination so as to prevent contamination or adulteration of product. Reuse that which has come into contact with raw product may not be used on ready-to-eat product. (4) Reconditioned water that has never contained human waste and that has been treated by an onsite advanced wastewater treatment facility may be used on raw product, except in product formulation, and throughout the facility in edible and inedible production areas, provided that measures are taken to ensure that this water meets the criteria prescribed in paragraph (g)(1) of this section. Product, facilities, equipment, and utensils coming in contact with this water must undergo a separate final rinse with non- reconditioned water that meets the criteria prescribed in paragraph (g)(1) of this section. (5) Any water that has never contained human waste and that is free of pathogenic organisms may be used in edible and inedible product areas, provided it does not contact edible product. For example, such reuse water may be used to move heavy solids, to flush the bottom of open evisceration troughs, or to wash antemortem areas, livestock pens, trucks, poultry cages, picker aprons, picking room floors, and similar areas within the establishment. (6) Water that does not meet the use conditions of paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(5) of this section may not be used in areas where edible product is handled or prepared or in any manner that would allow it to adulterate edible product or create insanitary conditions. (h) Dressing rooms, lavatories, and toilets. (1) Dressing rooms, toilet rooms, and urinals must be sufficient in number, ample in size, conveniently located, and maintained in a sanitary condition and in good repair at all times to ensure cleanliness of all persons handling any product. They must be separate from the rooms and compartments in which products are processed, stored, or handled. (2) Lavatories with running hot and cold water, soap, and towels, must be placed in or near toilet and urinal rooms and at such other places in the establishment as necessary to ensure cleanliness of all persons handling any product. (3) Refuse receptacles must be constructed and maintained in a manner that protects against the creation of insanitary conditions and the adulteration of product. § 416.3 Equipment and utensils. (a) Equipment and utensils used for processing or otherwise handling edible product or ingredients must be of such material and construction to facilitate thorough cleaning and to ensure that their use will not cause the adulteration of product during processing, handling, or storage. Equipment and utensils must be maintained in sanitary condition so as not to adulterate product. (b) Equipment and utensils must not be constructed, located, or operated in a manner that prevents FSIS inspection program employees from inspecting the equipment or utensils to determine whether they are in sanitary condition. (c) Receptacles used for storing inedible material must be of such material and construction that their use will not result in the adulteration of any edible product or in the creation of insanitary conditions. Such receptacles must not be used for storing any edible product and must bear conspicuous and distinctive marking to identify permitted uses. § 416.4 Sanitary operations. (a) All food-contact surfaces, including food-contact surfaces of utensils and equipment, must be cleaned and sanitized as frequently as necessary to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and the adulteration of product. (b) Non-food-contact surfaces of facilities, equipment, and utensils used in the operation of the establishment must be cleaned and sanitized as frequently as necessary to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and the adulteration of product. (c) Cleaning compounds, sanitizing agents, processing aids, and other chemicals used by an establishment must be safe and effective under the conditions of use. Such chemicals must be used, handled, and stored in a manner that will not adulterate product or create insanitary conditions.

(b) Clothing. Aprons, frocks, and other outer clothing worn by persons who handle product must be of material that is disposable or readily cleaned. Clean garments must be worn at the start of each working day and garments must be changed during the day as often as necessary to prevent adulteration of product and the creation of insanitary conditions. (c) Disease control. Any person who has or appears to have an infectious disease, open lesion, including boils, sores, or infected wounds, or any other abnormal source of microbial contamination, must be excluded from any operations which could result in product adulteration and the creation of insanitary conditions until the condition is corrected. EXHIBIT I I Colorado River Fire Rescue Kathy Eastley 108 81h Street, Suite 201 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: Ken Sack Animal Processing Kathy: May 18,2015 This letter is to advise you that I have reviewed File Number: MIP A-8246, Ken Sack Animal Processing, located at 482 CR 315. After reviewing the application and doing a site visit, I have the following comments to the proposed animal processing facility: 1. The application makes reference to Fire Protection in the application PDF, page 32, item d. 7-109-Fire Protection for building is addressed in the pending building permit application. I do not have access to pending building permit and nothing is shown in this referral packet. Information is needed on proposed fire suppression and or suppression water for the facility. 2. In the application the reference is made of two access roads for the facility. The reference is a main access road that is too steep and narrow for trucks and trailers, and the secondary road which appears to access from Eagle Springs Ranch Road. Nothing in the packet shows the entire secondary road or addresses the width or grade of the road. I attended a site visit last summer with the Ranch Manager and I drove through the ranch this morning to refresh my memory. The access road from Eagle Springs Ranch Road starts out as a 20' +gravel road that accesses some area well pads. At the solar panels a two track road travels to the west and ties into another road that accesses the existing house and proposed animal Processing Building. The access road from the solar panels to the intersection of the Main road to the buildings is not adequate for a fire department access road. The fire department access road shall be able to support the weight of a fire truck and be all weather driving surface. More information is needed on the proposed secondary access road. Page I 1 Colorado· River Fire Rescue 3. The Main access road has an electric gate at the bottom of the driveway. We (CRFR) do not have access to that gate at this time in case of an emergency. If this access is to be used for emergency access, then we will require the owner to purchase a Knox Box or Knox padlock for the gate. If the secondary access is gated and locked we will also need Knox box or padlock installed on gate. 4. The existing home has an address of 482 CR 315. Depending on access roads as noted above we will need to establish an address for the Animal Processing Building and possibly the existing house as to the best access road, (Eagle Springs, Mamm Creek Rd). Emergency response could be delayed if we are responding to a Mamm Creek address but actually end up accessing the address from Eagle Springs Ranch Road. This issue needs to resolved. Thank you for allowing me to review this referral and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns .. Thank You, Orrin D. Moon, Fire Marshal CRFR.

Civil and Environmental Consulting and Design EXHIBIT I J RE: Review of the Ken Sack Animal Processing Facility: MIP A 8246 Dear Kathy: This office has perfonned a review of the documents provided for the Major Impact Review application for the Ken Sack Animal Processing Facility. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The following comments were generated: 1. The water system is proposed to be supplied by third party hauling .of water purchased from licensed municipal sources. This source is not typical but the proposed operation is lower than thresholds listed in the LUDC. The concern is that hauling water may not be a reliable source under drought conditions. A condition of approval that operations would terminate if water hauling ceases may be warranted. 2. The Applicant should discuss what means and methods will be employed to test, treat, and maintain the water system to mitigate any contamination. 3. The Applicant should discuss how water for fire suppression is separate and preserved from the potable water storage. 4. The application materials mentions that animals are raised on the property. The site plan shows pasture areas where the OWTS are located. The Applicant should discuss how animals will be kept off of the OWTS . 5. The application materials do not mention what existing equipment is on-site compared to what will be necessary. The Applicant should discuss if building permits will be necessary for interior building remodeling for new/additional plumbing, electrical equipment, refrigeration, etc. 6. There is an existing house that shows no connection to the water system or an existing OWTS. The Applicant should identify how this existing house is seryed with water and verify the location and status of the existing OWTS to mitigate potential conflicts. 826 % Grand Avenue, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 P: 970.945.5544 F: 970.945.5558 www.mountaincross-eng.com Animal Proc~ssing Page 2 of2 May, 2015 7. The Traffic Report assumes that the increased traffic would not occur at peak hours and based on this assumption, states that increased traffic has no impacts to the peak traffic calculations. This .assumption should be elaborated upon. It seems incongruent that increased traffic would not generate some increase in peak hour counts also. The Applicant should explain this in greater detail or revise the calculations to account for increased peak hour traffic. Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.

I have determined that based on my referral comments about emergency access and unknown fire suppression outlined in the PDF packet, that fire suppression water up to 18,000 gallons of stored and accessible water may be required. This suppression water is calculated according to NFPA 1142, Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting. This NFPA calculation is determined by the construction type, building cubic feet, and exposure hazards. Please consider this an addition to my referral comments.

The following is my new and additional comments: The existing proposed fire department access road is not adequate for fire trucks from the solar panels to the Animal Processing Facility site. The road needs to be designed to carry the we ight of a fire truck ( up to 54,000 lbs. ), be 20' in width, with SO' outside turning radius, along w ith adequate fire truck turnaround at the Processing Facility. The design of the road shall be submitted to me and approved before construction. After a site visit to the Eagle Spr i ngs Organic Greenhouses that were built in 2011 where fire department access road and a water supply was required, (see attached), have found a lack of ma intenance to the access road and the water supply. The road is covered with dirt which w ill make access difficult if not impassable when wet. The pond access road to the dry fire hydrant is covered with weeds which does not show a clear access road to the draft site. The lack of maintenance on the road and pond area is critical for the fire protection of the existing Eagle Springs Greenhouses. The water supply at the greenhouses is not an option for fire protection water supply of the Processing Facil ity at this t ime. The Processing Facility will be required to have fire protection water supply of 18,000 gallons of water which is based on the requ i rements of NFPA 1142 as noted in the e-mail sent to you on 5-21-15. The means of storage shall be submitted to me for approval. A storage tank with a fire hydrant attached is our preferred method, we have fire protection water storage specifications available at request. The ceiling of the Kill Room is exposed wood that is covered with clear plastic . The room and the building shall meet IBC requirements for flame spread as interpreted by the Garfie ld County Building department. I fee l that the requirements are reasonable to the fire protection of this faci lity. As always, I am open to hear other ideas or proposals. Please fee l free to contact me with any quest ions.

I arrived at the site on March 23, 2011 and met with Brian Steel. Brian advised me that he was looking for a Final Fire Inspection from me so he could complete his requirements for a Certified Occupancy for the west building. Brian also advised that the east building was not complete yet but would be done in about 6 weeks. After inspecting the buildings, site, and access roads, the following are my concerns that need to be addressed before the sign-off of any co. • Address of the buildings need to be adjusted or changed due to the lack of Fire Department Apparatus access from the existing road address. • Existing access road from County Road 346 or from Eagle Springs Ranch Road is an inadequate Fire Apparatus access road to the buildings . • No site plan has been reviewed by the Fire Department to determine building access or fire truck turnaround areas. • Building plans have not been reviewed by the Fire Department to determine fire flow requirements, water supply storage, and or the need of a suppression system. Site plans and building plans are needed for me to review and determine the requirements for this project. Please submit requested plans to my office, 611 Main Street Silt, CO. I can start to review them next week. I am out of town this week until Thursday with the rest of the week booked on inspections. I will be able to return phone messages or e-mails in the evenings. I advised Brian that I would consider possibly allowing the CO on the west building. Due to the possible need of a suppression system, water supply and access this will not be possible at this time.

Nuisance Conditions: a. The applicant did not address fugitive dust in the nuisance impacts section of the Impact Analysis. Operations that involve livestock being contained in a confined area over a certain period of time can cause de-vegetation of the land; which in turn can lead to releases of particulate matter into the air. We recommend proper dust mitigation be used in animal pens and other bare surfaces if necessary. 2. Water Supply a. The current water supply system of three storage tanks that requires water to be hauled to the slaughterhouse is not a good long-term solution for the life expectancy of this operation. Garfield County Land Use Code requires that a potable water supply be provided that is adequate and of a high enough water quality for consumption by employees; and in this case the processing of meat. We recommend a well be drilled, if possible, that would be tested using the "Deluxe Colorado Package" of the CDPHE Lab Services Division. b. The amount of water used for each animal seems variable and not clearly explained. 4 gallons per cow, even if water is not used in the actual slaughtering of the animal, does not account for other unanticipated washing and seems like too low of a figure. 3. Wastewater Treatment a. It is unclear as to what sort of materials will actually be entering the second OWTS designed for the actual animal processing facility. On our site visit, we were made aware that the blood, intestinal, and other waste coming from the kill room would not be sent into the OWTS but rather stored and hauled to the landfill. However, our understanding was that the room where meat is processed into various cuts for clients will drain to the septic system. Before we approve the system designed by All Service Septic, all parties involved should be aware of exactly what will be entering the system to know how large it should be sized and what level of secondary treatment is necessary. b. There is a stipulation in our OWTS regulations that Public Health will permit advanced treatment systems. The applicant may need to work with both Community Development and Public Health on the permit for the second system. 4. Current use of the facility Garfield County Public Health Department -working to promote health and prevent disease a. Eagle Springs Organics, Outwest Meat and Seafood at Eagle Springs, Ken Sack, and Farm Fresh Cafe needs to be more clear on the relationship between each of their product lines and where their meats are being sourced. There were indicators that the processing facility has already been operating without a USDA license for private clients. We were also made aware that meats being sold at the store have been supplied by US Foods and not from the Ken Sack animal processing facility. b. What will the name of the facility be? I saw several different names throughout the application. c. What is Mr. Sack's intention for a timeframe to sell his own meats that would be processed through that facility? Where is Mr. Sack currently having his own animals slaughtered?
