The Vicinity Map and Zoning Figure are located in the Maps and Plans tab. 4. Section 7-1001.B. Setbacks. All activity associated with these uses shall be a minimum of 100 feet from an adjacent residential property line, unless the use is on an industrially zoned property. Existing use of adjacent property and neighboring properties are natural resources extraction, public lands, and agricultural. Adjacent parcels are zoned Rural or Public Lands in Garfield County. A residential property line is not adjacent to the site boundary. The proposed site is located approximately 2200 feet from the nearest property line. No residential zoning or residential uses are adjacent to the proposed site boundary. No residential building units are located within one mile radius of the site. 5. Section 7-1001.C. Concealing and Screening. When an industrial use is not located on an industrial zoned property, all storage, Fabrication, service, and repair operations shall be conducted within an enclosed building or have adequate provisions, based on location and topography, to conceal and screen the facility and/or operations from adjacent property(s). The natural topography surrounding the site will conceal the facility from adjacent parcels. The facility will be located approximately 2200 feet from the nearest property line. The location of the site is not in a high visibility area. The proposed site is located on a 1664- TPR 176-25 UIC Well Article 7 – Division 10 Industrial Use Industrial Use Narrative Administrative Review 2 CPX Piceance Holdings, LLC Garfield County, Colorado 34 S.

The proposed UIC well is not located within a one-mile radius of any residential buildings units or designated outdoor areas. The nearest parcel boundary, owned by another property owner, is approximately 2200 feet from the proposed UIC well. Noise generated from activities associated with the proposed UIC Well will be similar to other oil and gas activities in the area and will be regulated by the COGCC. The proposed UIC well will reduce the need to haul produced water and flowback water for disposal. By reducing truck traffic, the UIC well will aid in the reduction of cumulative noise generated by vehicles in the area. 9. Section 7-1001.G. Ground Vibration. Every use shall be operated so that the ground vibration inherently and recurrently generated is not perceptible without instruments at any point of any boundary line of the property.

Section 7-1001.H. Hours of Operation. Any activity that will generate noise, odors, or glare beyond the property boundaries will be conducted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or as approved by the decision-making authority. The UIC well will not require personnel to be staffed at the site on a continuous basis. The proposed UIC well will not generate noise, odors, or glare that will impact adjacent properties. The site is located in and adjacent to the Rural zone district. Adjacent parcel land uses include natural resource activities, limited agriculture (grazing leases), and public lands. No residential buildings, schools, or designated outdoor areas exist within one mile radius of the location.

Flaring of gases, aircraft warning signal, and reflective painting of storage tanks, or other legal requirements for safety or air pollution control measures, shall be exempted from this provision. The subject use, Small Injection Well, will not create nuisances or hazards to the public or adjacent properties. Heat, glare, radiation, or fumes will not be generated by operations associated with the TPR 176-25 UIC Well. The proposed UIC well has been designed to minimize any impacts to adjacent parcels. The site is located on a 1664- acre parcel in the Rural zone district, surrounded by natural resource activities. No residential buildings, schools, or designated outdoor areas exist within one mile radius of the location. Dense vegetation and varying topography act as a natural barrier to the site.
