Subject: Addition to Existing Water Processing Facility
Orrin:
Just wanted to let you know that we are currently reviewing plans for expansion of an existing oil & gas water processing
facility located at 5957 County Road 319, southeast of Rifle (Parcel ID No. 240312100084). The owner is NE by NE, LLLP
(aka: NEXO Merchant Plant 1, LLC) and they are proposing a small infill steel building which will adjoin and combine (2)
existing steel buildings into one larger building.
Building synopsis is Construction Type II -B, with Occupancy/Use = Factory (Group F-1) and Office (B).
The following is a breakdown of area calculations:
Existing Building #1 Warehouse (F-1) 2,400 SF
Existing Building #1 Office (B) 1,200
Existing Building #2 Water Treatment (F-1) 2,160
New Infill Building Water Treatment (F-1) 1,140
OVERALL BUILDING SIZE (New/Existing) 6,900 SF
According to the Architect, the existing buildings are non-sprinklered, and per our review of I.B.C. it doesn't appear that
size of the overall building will require sprinklers either. But I wanted to contact you to let you know about this
upcoming project. The Architect is Jeff Johnson and Tally Ho Construction (John Parrington) will be the Contractor. I have
copied both of them on this email correspondence, so please let them know if you require any additional information
from them about this project.
As part of our plan review process, we will place a condition on the building permit for them to contact you and provide
final sign -off & approval prior to final building inspection & Certificate of Occupancy. Please let me know if you have any
other concerns at this time.
Thanks,
Dave Argo

Jeff:
Wanted to let you know that I've completed my plan review of the proposed infill/expansion of the NEXO Water
Processing Plant 1 located at 5957 County Road 319 in Rifle. However, an issue that arose during our review of this
project is that the existing Land Use Change Permit needs to be updated via a "Minor Amendment" process through
Garfield County's Planning Dept. before we can issue a building permit.
I have attached the specific pages out of Garfield County's Land Use & Development Code for your information and so
that you can review this requirement with your client. In order to process this minor amendment to the LUCP, you
should contact David Pesnichak, Sr. Planner here in our office, for more specific information. He thinks it will be a rather
straightforward process, but he can fill you in on the detailed requirements. Please note that, for your convenience, I
have copied David P. in on this email.
Until the minor amendment to the LUCP is finalized, we will place the plans in our "Pending Projects" file, because we
aren't able to issue the building permit until the land use change issues have first been resolved.
Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Subject: RE: Addition to Existing Water Processing Facility
Dave,
I had Jeff Johnson send me some drawings of what they are doing on the site with the new building. You are correct as
to a sprinkler system not required. The site has an existing water supply with a dry hydrant attached. Our access is
good. My only requirement will be a fire extinguisher(s) are to be added as to the use/hazard of the new space. I will
require a final inspection on the building when its complete. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Please let me know if
you have any questions.

Hi Brian,
Please find the Directors Determination and Staff Report attached for the Minor Amendment to the Nexo Merchant
Plant 1. Please review the attached documents and let me know if you have any questions.
I have the Amended Land Use Change Permit drafted and ready for Board signature. I will be scheduling the Amended
Land Use Change Permit for signature with the Board on their next available consent agenda date, which is June 11.
There is no need to attend this meeting. If anything comes up in the meantime that requires your attention, I will be
back in touch.
In the meantime, the Building Department may continue processing the building permit application and I will touch base
with Dave Argo when he returns next week. At this point we are just waiting on the BOCC meeting schedule to get this
part finalized. I have cc'd David A on this email also to keep him in the loop.
Best,
