1. Introduction
The following section addresses the requirements for Industrial Use of the Standards
Additional Standards for Industrial Use under Article 7, Division 10 of the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC).
2. Section 7-1001. Industrial Use.
These standards shall apply to all industrial uses:
The TPR 176-25 UIC well shall meet all applicable industrial standards.
3. Section 7-1001.A. Residential Subdivisions.
Industrial uses shall not occupy a lot in a platted residential Subdivision.
The proposed industrial use, Small Injection Well, will be located on a parcel zoned
Rural and not located on a platted residential subdivision. 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

acre parcel in an unpopulated, remote area. There are no homes within a one-mile radius
of the site. The site location is remote, rural, and the site will not be visible to the public.
The land surrounding the site is currently used for oil and gas natural production, limited
agriculture activities, and public lands. Site photos are located in the Impact Analysis tab.
6. Section 7-1001.D. Storing.
1. Materials shall be stored on the property in a form or manner that will not be
transferred off the property by any reasonably foreseeable natural cause or force.
2. All products shall be stored in compliance with all national, State, and local codes.
3. Shall be a minimum of 100 feet from an adjacent property line.
4. Petroleum and hazardous products shall be stored in an impervious spill containment
area(s).
Materials will be securely stored to prevent materials leaving the site by any natural
cause. All products will be stored securely and in compliance with national, state, and
local codes.
CPX maintains a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan
developed in March 2020.
40 CFR § 112.3 - Requirement to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control,
and Countermeasure Plan.
40 CFR § 112.3 (a)(3)(b) If your oil production facility as described in paragraph (a)(1)
of this section becomes operational after November 10, 2011, or as described in
paragraph (a)(2) of this section becomes operational after November 10, 2010, and
could reasonably be expected to have a discharge as described in §112.1(b), you must
prepare and implement a Plan within six months after you begin operations.
The facility currently operates under an SPCC Plan and will continue to do so
throughout the operation of the TPR 176-25 UIC Well.
7. Section 7-1001.E. Industrial Wastes.
All industrial wastes shall be disposed of in a manner consistent with Federal and State
statutes and requirements of CDPHE. Flammable or explosive solids or gases and other
hazardous materials including wastes shall be stored according to the manufacturer’s
standards and shall comply with the national, State, and local fire codes and written
recommendations from the appropriate local fire protection district.
The TPR 176-25 UIC well will be used for disposal of produced water and flowback
water. CPX will comply with national, state, and local codes. The facility currently

operates under an SPCC Plan and will continue to do so throughout the operation of the
TPR 176-25 UIC Well.
8. Section 7-1001.F. Noise.
Noise shall not exceed State noise standards pursuant to C.R.S., Article 12, Title 25,
unless the use is regulated by the COGCC. In this case, the use shall be subject to
COGCC rules in regard to noise abatement.
Nuisance from noise is not anticipated at the site. 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.
Ground vibration will not be perceptible without instruments at any point on the property
boundary line. The injection well will be located approximately 2200 feet from the
nearest property line.
10. 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.

11. Section 7-1001.I. Interference, Nuisance, or Hazard.
Every use shall be so operated that it does not emit heat, glare, radiation, or fumes that
substantially interfere with the existing use of adjoining property or that constitutes a
public nuisance or hazard. 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.
