I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Applicant requests a Special Use Permit to allow an "Industrial Support Facility
including Warehouse and Storage Facilities" on the subject property. This proposed use is
contemplated under special uses in the RL - Resource Lands (Gentle Slopes/ Lower Valley
Floor) zone district. If approved the 54.01 acre parcel will be transferred to the ownership
of Tri-State Trucking.
Tri-State Trucking Inc., is based out of Vernal, Utah, and has extensive operations in
Western Garfield County. Providing services to the oil and gas exploration industry, a
permanent site in Garfield County is desired. The operation on-site would include
truck/trailer maintenance and storage, short term storage of materials and equipment,
gas/oil drilling industry equipment staging, truck washing facilities and administrative
services.
Proposed Development:
a) 60' x 100' foot truck maintenance shop. (6000 sq. ft)
b) Two building envelopes for future storage buildings.
c) Truck parking/storage area
d) Truck washing facilities
e) Employee parking
The Applicant is proposing that the facility be operational twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week. 16 trucks or tractor trailers combinations will be parked at the site, mostly
2
occurring at night. The application represents the peek traffic hours consisting of 6:00 —
7:00 AM and 5:00 — 8:00 PM. This facility will accommodate approximately fifty employees
on-site daily.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The 54.01 -acre property is located just north and adjacent to 1-70 just west of the Rulison
exit. Access is provided by the frontage road on the north side of 1-70 which dead -ends into
a driveway / gate for the Naugle Property. Practically, this frontage road turns into County
Road 323 (Rulison Road) after it passes under the interstate and past the frontage road on
the south side of the interstate.
Physically, the property is relatively flat with some gentle slopes in a southerly direction
across the site. The property is covered mostly by sage brush and dry grasses with very
sparse pinion vegetation.
III. REFERRALS
Staff referred the application out to the following review agencies and or County
Departments:
a. City of Rifle: No comments received.
b. Town of Parachute: Exhibit J
c. Colorado Department of Transportation: Exhibit H
d. Garfield County Road & Bridge Department: No issues with the proposal. Exhibit G
e. Garfield County Vegetation Management: Exhibit N
IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The property lies within Study Area 3 and is designated on the proposed land use map as
Outlying Residential. The Applicant has proposed a use that is industrial in nature which
conflicts with the present designation. Consider the following Goals, Objectives, and
policies that apply to the proposal:
a. Goals
Future, long-term commercial and industrial development at the western and
interchange parts of the County and Communities.
Garfield County will encourage the development of a diversified industrial base for
the County which recognizes the human resources, natural resources, and physical
location -to -market capabilities of the community, and which further recognizes and
addresses the social and environmental impacts of industrial uses.
The subject property is located at the 1-70 interchange for Rulison in the western Garfield
County. Locating industrial development in this area is consistent with the Plan. The
proposed use is a support business to the oil / gas exploration industry which is centered in
the same area of the county as the proposed use.
3
b. Objectives
4.1 To ensure that commercial and industrial developments are compatible with
adjacent land uses and mitigate impacts identified during the plan review process.
The subject property is located in a rural and primarily undeveloped area and is adjacent to
similar uses and by the 1-70 interchange to the east and public land to the north and west.
There is one single-family residence (the Applicant's) and a small commercial/general feed
store adjacent to the property.
4.2 Encourage the location of industrial development in areas where visual, noise, air
quality, and infrastructure impacts are reduced.
The proposed use, if unscreened, will be visually detrimental to the surrounding natural
environment seen from 1-70. The Plan identifies the property as lying within the Visual
Corridor which is based on significant view -sheds or natural features, distance from a major
travel corridor, and topographic conditions that define sight distance from a major roadway.
In this way (and as recognized by the Plan by placing land use value on visual corridors), I-
70 serves as a linear gateway to the rest of the County because it provides the visitors of
Garfield County with their first impression. This impression also assumes the rest of the
County is treated in the same manner regarding appropriate land use or associated
mitigation of land uses. Unmitigated or inappropriate land use only detracts from the natural
assets / resources of the County. The Applicant proposes to use an 8' fence, adjacent
properties, and trees. Unless effectively screened, an industrial use situated in the
identified visual corridor is not consistent with the objective.
4.6Ensure the type, size, and scope of industrial and commercial development are
consistent with the long-term land use objectives of the county.
The Plan's proposed land use map identifies this property as Outlying Residential rather
than Light Industrial which would be a more appropriate designation. However, the
underlying zoning of Resource Lands does contemplate the proposed use in the district as
a "Special Use". One of the goals in the plan is to locate the proposed use near or at
interchanges in the western part of the County. Based on this, it appears, with proper
mitigation, the use could be consistent with the Plan.
c. Policies
4.3Landscaping and screening will be required to address specific visual impacts
of industrial and commercial development.
The site plan represents the location and number of trees to be planted for screening of this
use. The Plan identifies the property as lying within the Visual Corridor which is based on
significant view -sheds or natural features, distance from a major travel corridor, and
topographic conditions that define sight distance from a major roadway. Staff finds that the
4
Applicant has attempted to reduce the visual impacts of this use.
4.4 The project review process will include the identification and mitigation of
transportation impacts related to commercial and industrial development.
The traffic analysis does not address impact this use will have on County roads. The
subject property has direct access to 1-70. However, the vehicles will utilize Count Roads
and are subject to overweight and size permit and should utilize the County Road
Departments suggested haul routes.
V. REVIEW STANDARDS
Special Uses are subject to the standards in Section 5.03 of the Zoning Resolution. In
addition, the proposed use, due to its industrial nature, shall also be required to address
the industrial performance standards in 5.03.07 and 5.03.098 of the Zoning Resolution.
These review standards are presented below followed by a response by Staff.
A. Section 5.03 Review Standards
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 Finding
Regarding water, the Applicant has obtained a West Divide Water Conservancy
District Contract. An approved well permit from the Colorado Division of Water
Resources will need to be submitted for the County's records.
The water analysis conducted by Zancanella and Associates, Inc. cites the presence
of alpha and beta radioactivity. This proposed use is represented as a long term
activity for this property. Bottled water will be provided on-site in order to provide
safe drinking water for employees.
Regarding wastewater, the Applicant proposes to install a septic system (ISDS). A
detailed design will be submitted for this facility with the building permit application.
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 Finding
The proposed use will primarily impact I — 70 and its access road. A small portion of
County Road 323, south of the Rulison interchange could see some activity due to
this use.
5
1. Daily Trips: 190
2. Peak AM: 76
3. Peak PM: 42
Main Access to Property: Access to and from the property is from the frontage road
on the north side of 1-70 which dead -ends into an access easement which is located
on the adjacent commercial zoned property.
A copy of a current Colorado Department of Transportation Access Permit is needed
for the County's records.
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 Finding
The adjacent uses consist of a commercially zoned lot (containing a feed store),
approved SUP for an Industrial Support Facility, and BLM property. The Applicant
has attempted to minimize impacts this use will have on the visual corridor as
identified in the comprehensive plan. As represented on the site plan, the Applicant
has proposed the use of trees to screen the property from the 1-70 corridor.
All lighting represented on the site plan should be directed downward and inward.
Staff recommends that the Applicant utilize motion -sensor lighting.
B. Section 5.03.07 Industrial Operation
Industrial Operations, including extraction, processing, fabrication, industrial support
facilities, mineral waste disposal, storage, sanitary landfill, salvage yard, access routes
and utility lines, shall be permitted, provided:
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. 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 Finding
The Applicant has obtained a West Divide Water Conservancy Contract in order to
obtain a legal source of water for the proposed use.
6
The grading and drainage plan provided by Sopris Engineering indicates that the
drainage from this site should drain toward the existing 72" culvert located on the
southeast portion of the property. The Application does not include a Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP). Projects involving a disturbance area of one acre or
more are required to complete and submit a SWMP to the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment. Staff has recommended a condition of approval
requiring that the Applicant provide a copy of the SWMP to be kept in the
application file.
b) Impacts on adjacent land from the generation of vapor, dust, smoke,
noise, glare or vibration, or other emanations;
Staff Finding
The Applicant states that there will be a minimum impact on adjacent land due to
generation vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration generated from the starting
of trucks and equipment. The unpaved area of the proposed use should be treated
to reduce dust generated on-site. A plan to treat and maintain the project area is
needed.
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 Finding
A wildlife management plan completed by Beattie Wildlife Consulting was
provided. The plan demonstrates minimal impacts to wildlife.
d) Affirmatively show the impacts of truck and automobile traffic to and from
such uses and their impacts to areas in the County;
Staff Finding
The application represents a total of 190 daily trips associated with the proposed
use. The location of the subject property and its access to the Rulison, 1-70
interchange reduces the impacts to and from the proposed use.
Staff referred the application to the County Road & Bridge Department who
indicated the department does not have any objections to the proposed use.
However, the trucks used in the company's business may need to be regulated for
overweight/oversize permits.
e) That sufficient distances shall separate such use from abutting property
which might otherwise be damaged by operations of the proposed use(s);
Staff Finding
The Applicant states this property is adjacent to a previously permitted Industrial
Support Facility and a commercially zoned parcel. Staff finds that there is sufficient
distance between the proposed site on the subject property and adjacent uses.
7
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;
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;
c) Impacts set forth in the impact statement and compliance with the
standards contained in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution.
Staff Finding
The Applicant has provided a site rehabilitation plan prepared by Sopris
Engineering. Post construction the site will be re -vegetated. Final site reclamation
will be completed within one (1) year of the business closure. All structures will be
removed and the subject property will be graded to match the existing conditions
and will not exceed a 3:1 slope.
All seed mixes shall be approved by Steve Anthony. Garfield County Planning
Commission has recommended that the Board require a reclamation security in
the amount of $18,000.
A weed management plan was prepared by Andrew Antipas, Ecological and
Environmental Consulting, LLC. The plan identified the presence of Tamarisk at
three different locations on the subject property. Staff recommends that the Board
require that the Applicant treat the identified Tamarisk and provide documentation
to Steve Anthony prior to the operation of the proposed Industrial Support Facility.
C. Section 5.03.08 Industrial Performance Standards
All industrial operations in the County shall comply with applicable County, State, and
Federal regulations regulating water, air and noise pollution and shall not be conducted
in a manner constituting a public nuisance or hazard. Operations shall be conducted in
such a manner as to minimize heat, dust, smoke, vibration, glare and odor and all other
undesirable environmental effects beyond the boundaries of the property in which such
uses are located, in accord with the following standards:
1) Volume of sound generated shall comply with the standards set forth in the
Colorado Revised Statutes at the time any new application is made.
Staff Finding
The Applicant's original submittal did not demonstrate that the proposed use could
operate in compliance with State Statute. Garfield County Planning Commission
8
included a condition of approval requiring the Applicant to provide a sound analysis
that accurately represents the operation of the proposed use.
As you are aware, the County requires compliance with the Colorado Revised
Statutes (CRS 25-12-101) regarding noise. The Statute states "Sound levels of noise
radiating from a property line at a distance of 25 feet or more there from in excess of
the dB(A) established for the following time periods and zones shall constitute (prema
facia) evidence that such noise is a public nuisance." The table below shows the
zones and dB(A) acceptable for each zone and particular time.
Zone
7 am to 7 pm
7 pm to 7 am
Residential
55 dB(A)
50 dB(A)
Commercial
60 dB(A)
55 dB(A)
Light Industrial
65 dB(A)
70 dB(A)
Industrial
80 dB(A)
75 dB(A)
The sound analysis completed by Engineering Dynamics Incorporated (EDI)
demonstrates that the proposed use will exceed residential dBa requirements. The
Applicant's representatives believe that the ambient noise from 1-70 that exceeds the
dBa requirements creates a unique circumstance. Staff finds that's the proposed
operation exceeds State Statute and could create a "public nuisance" should someone
not associated with the proposed operation reside on the residential property to the
east of the proposed Industrial Support Facility. This standard has not been met.
2) Vibration generated: every use shall be so operated that the ground
vibration inherently and recurrently generated is not perceptible, without
instruments, at any point of any boundary line of the property on which the
use is located;
Staff Finding
The Applicant states that vibrations produced on the property will have a minimum
impact.
3) Emissions of smoke and particulate matter: every use shall be operated so
as to comply with all Federal, State and County air quality laws, regulations
and standards;
Staff Finding
Emissions generated by this use would come from the exhaust (diesel fumes) of the
trucks as they warm up (idle), leave, or enter the property.
As the standard requires, every use shall be operated to comply with county, state,
and federal laws. Staff does not test these emissions but all emissions will be from the
exhaust of vehicles that are licensed by the County and the State to comply with
federal air quality laws.
9
4) Emission of heat, glare, radiation and fumes: every use shall be so operated
that it does not emit heat, glare, radiation or fumes which substantially
interfere with the existing use of adjoining property or which constitutes a
public nuisance or hazard. Flaring of gases, aircraft warning signals,
reflective painting of storage tanks, or other such operations which may be
required by law as safety or air pollution control measures shall be
exempted from this provision;
Staff Finding
The application does not represent any uses that would generate significant heat,
glare, radiation, or fumes. Only minimal engine heat and fumes from exhaust will
occur as the trucks leave and enter the property at fairly random intervals. As a result,
Staff finds this standard has been met.
5) Storage area, salvage yard, sanitary landfill and mineral waste disposal
areas:
a) Storage of flammable or explosive solids or gases shall be in accordance
with accepted standards and laws and shall comply with the national,
state and local fire codes and written recommendations/comments from
the appropriate local protection district regarding compliance with the
appropriate codes;
Staff Finding
All storage of petroleum products used for truck maintenance will be stored inside
the proposed maintenance shop. The Applicant cites that storage of this material
will comply with all regulations governing the storage of this type of material. Fuel
for vehicles used in this operation will not be stored on-site.
b) At the discretion of the County Commissioners, all outdoor storage
facilities may be required to be enclosed by fence, landscaping or wall
adequate to conceal such facilities from adjacent property;
Staff Finding
The Applicant provided the number and location of the proposed trees as part of
the site plan. A total of 30 proposed trees will surround the property stretching from
the southwest corner to the northeast corner. A variety trees are represented.
The application also represents that an eight foot sight obscuring fence will be
constructed along the property line adjacent to the commercially zoned property to
the south.
c) No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a property in such form
or manner that they may be transferred off the property by any
reasonably foreseeable natural causes or forces;
10
Staff Finding
The Applicant submitted grading and drainage plan designed to avoid flooding and
maintain the property's historic drainage pattern. Staff suggests this standard be
included as an on-going condition of approval.
d) Storage of Heavy Equipment will only be allowed subject to (A) and (C)
above and the following standards:
i. The minimum lot size is five (5) acres and is not a platted subdivision.
Staff Finding
The subject parcel is 54.01 acres and is not located in a platted subdivision. Staff
finds this standard is met
ii. The equipment storage area is not placed any closer than 300 ft. from
any existing residential dwelling.
Staff Finding
The application represents the nearest residence as over 600 ft from the subject
property. This standard is met.
iii. All equipment storage will be enclosed in an area with screening at
least eight (8) feet in height and obscured from view at the same
elevation or lower. Screening may include berming, landscaping, sight
obscuring fencing or a combination of any of these methods.
Staff Finding
The Applicant intends to plant trees and construct a fence to reduce the visual
impact of this operation. The subject property is situated at a lower elevation
than 1-70. The proposed screening will not eliminate the visual impacts created
by the proposed use.
iv. Any repair and maintenance activity requiring the use of equipment
that will generate noise, odors or glare beyond the propertyy boundaries
will be conducted within a building or outdoors during the hours of 8
a.m. to 6 p.m., Mon. -Fri.
Staff Finding
The application represents that this standard will be met. Staff suggests this
standard be included as an on-going condition of approval.
v. Loading and unloading of vehicles shall be conducted on private
property and may not be conducted on any public right-of-way.
Staff Finding
All loading and unloading associated with the proposed use will be conducted on
the subject property.
11
e) Any storage area for uses not associated with natural resources shall not
exceed ten (10) acres in size.
Staff Finding
The area devoted to storage is less than 10 acres in size. Staff finds this standard
has been met.
f) Any lighting of storage area shall be pointed downward and inward to the
property center and shaded to prevent direct reflection on adjacent
property.
Staff Finding
Staff recommends that all exterior lighting shall be the minimum amount necessary
and all exterior lighting will be directed inward and downward, towards the interior of
the property and be shaded to prevent direct reflection on adjacent property.
6) Water pollution: in a case in which potential hazards exist, it shall be
necessary to install safeguards designed to comply with the Regulations of
the Environmental Protection Agency before operation of the facilities may
begin. All percolation tests or ground water resource tests as may be
required by local or State Health Officers must be met before operation of the
facilities may begin.
Staff Finding
On-site vehicle washing is proposed. The application represents an on-site washing
facility Wastewater will be captured and stored on-site. A discharge permit is required
for this proposed use. Separated oils and solids will be disposed of by Goodwin
Septic Tank Service of Grand Junction, Colorado.
VI. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the
Planning Commission.
2. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete and that all interested parties were heard at that meeting; however, not all
pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted at the meeting.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed Special Use Permit is not
in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and
welfare of the citizens of Garfield County.
4. That the application is not in conformance with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of
1978, as amended.
12

Re: Naugle/Tri State Special Use Permit Application
Supplemental Information
Dear Craig:

AUG 2 7 2007
GARFIELD COUNTY
BUILDING & PLANNING
Attached herewith is an updated summary of the Tri-State Trucking operations, a new
sound analysis from Engineering Dynamics Incorporated (EDI) and a Revised Site
Plan/Sound Exhibit.
Last summer the projections for the scale of the Tri-State operations, as described in
the original application, were overly optimistic as compared to what has been
experienced since that time. Therefore, the attached summary was prepared with the
assistance of the Tri-State owners to provide a more realistic description of their
operations. This updated summary was used as a reference by the sound analysis
prepared by EDI regarding truck activity at the site.
The attached Revised Site Plan/ Sound Exhibit is submitted to document revisions to
the original site plan that were made to assure compliance with State Noise
Regulations. The plan revision was very simple_ The area proposed for truck and
trailer parking and materials storage was reduced in size resulting in this activity area
being moved westward away from the boundary of the residential use property. The
reduction in this use area also reflects the revised Tri-state operations projections. This
plan also notes the location of the three sound measuring stations established by EDI.
The following is offered as an overview of the EDI report and as a reflection upon some
of the practical considerations for noise levels at this site.
The attached EDI report includes a summary of the results of sound measurements
taken at and near the proposed Tri-State site in mid July and scientifically projected
sound levels based on proven engineering formulas. The report documents how the
proposed Tri-State truck activities on the Tri-State property can be expected to comply
with the State noise regulations.
The EDI report describes that it was not possible to measure, from any of the three
Measuring Stations, the noise generated by a Tri-State truck entering or leaving the site
because the high dB level of the background (1-70) noise. Alternatively the report
projects theoretical noise levels that could be generated by a Tri-State truck located at
various distances from the truck. These projected noise levels do not take into
consideration sound reducing factors such as topographic elevation changes, character
of the ground surface, obstacles, wind or background noise.
Based on these projections, the report then discusses truck generated noise levels at
Measuring Station #3 where the truck dB levels were projected to exceed the residential
use area daytime limit as Tri-State trucks enter and leave the 1-70 ROW and travel
along the access drive to the subject property. As an entering truck moves along this
access drive, and thereby further from the residential use property, the noise levels at
the residential use property boundary will decrease. The reveres would of course be
true for a truck exiting the property. EDI was not able to confirm these projections when
they were at the site due to the high background noise from 1-70.
The EDI report compares the projected noise of a Tri-State truck to the average dB
level of the background noise at the location of the #3 Measuring Station which is the
measuring device location closest to 1-70 and the access drive. The majority of trucks
will leave the site and return during one hour peak periods in the morning and evening
(7:00 — 8:00 AM & 5:00 — 6:00 PM). EDI's projections show that the loudest Tri-State
truck will theoretically create a noise level 2 to 4 dBs above the average of the
background noise readings during the morning peak and 4 to 6 dB above the
background average during the evening peak periods. The significance of this
comparison must be considered with the following points in mind:
- The projected individual truck dB level was projected based on the lothfest Tri-
State truck which has a base noise level that is 4 dBs higher than the quietest
Tri-State truck.
- The average background 0-70)noise during both peak periods exceeds the
daytime limit for residential use areas as defined by the State noise regulations.
- This point of access is also utilized by a number of other industrial scale trucks
entering and exiting the commercially zoned property, the industrial special use
permit site located to the west and a drill pad located on the residential use
ProPerty-
- It was not pow for EDI to measure the sound level produced by a passing
Tri-State truck above the background Interstate noise levels at Measuring Station
#3 or the other two Measuring Stations.
To bring the implications of this potential impact on the residential use property into
proper perspective, it is important to understand the potential frequency and duration of
the noise impact. Assuming 16 trucks leaving and entering the site each day based on
the Tri-State Operation Summary, the total elapsed time that the Tri -Sate Trucks take to
move between the Tri State property boundary and the 1-70 ROW in the moming and to
make the rectum trip in the evening is about 16 minutes or about 1% of a twenty-four
hour day. That time is of course split between the moming and evening peak hours of
activity when the majority of the trucks are exiting or arriving at the site. There will be a
small number of trucks returning and exiting the site during the day and occasionally
after 7:00 PM. That additional traffic could conceivable increase the total period of the
impact by twenty-five to fifty percent. Even with these additional trips, the total period of
potential actual impact by the Tri-State trucks is relatively small (1-2 %) on any typical
day.
Should there ever be a concern by the owners of the adjacent residential use property,
the Tri-State trucks do have the option of using the existing drive located adjacent to
the 1-70 ROW that services both the commercially zoned parcel and the existing special
use permit site. That existing driveway (noted on the Revised Site Plan) enters the Tri-
State property about a thousand feet to the west. To fully utilize the existing drive, a
short section of drive would need to be constructed to access the proposed truck
parking and shop area from the west. Use of this driveway would further reduce the
time period in which the trucks could potentially impact the adjacent residential use
property since upon crossing the Interstate ROW the existing drive turns west, away
from the residential use property.
In my reading of the State Regulations, it seems significant to me that the noise level
impacts refer to areas of residential use, not zone districts. The area of the noise
impact projected by the EDI report is in the very corner of the residential use property
adjacent to an existing commercially zoned parcel. The residence of the owner of the
residential use property is located in excess of 800 feet east of the location of the
Measuring Station #3. Given the terrain conditions in that general area, the location of
an existing residential access drive, the location of the existing drive across the
residential use property that is used by industrial traffic and the proximity of 1-70, it does
not seem at all likely that the southwest corner of the residential use property will be
used in a residential manner in the reasonably foreseeable future. The County of
course has the opportunity to revisit an issued special use permit should conditions in
the area or if the operational activities at the approved site change.
Although engineering projections indicate that Tri-State Trucks will exceed the State
limit for residential use areas in the southwest corner of the adjacent residential use
property, during much of the time at which these noise impacts are likely to occur,
background noise from Interstate 70 is at such a high level that the sound generated by
the loudest Tri-State trucks can not be identified above the background sound of
Interstate.

On July 17, 2007 Noise measurements were conducted at the planned Tri-State Trucking site located near the
Ruliston Exit from 1-70 in Garfield County, Colorado. Noise monitors were positioned at three locations along the
eastern boundary of the property as shown on the map prepared by the Land Design Partnership. The noise
monitors were Quest Electronics Model M-39 and each monitor was set to measure and store in the memory of the
monitor the dB(A) slow response for each and every one (1)minute interval for the entire measurement interval.
The monitors were started at 5:OOpm on July 17 and shut off at 10:OOam on July 18, for a total run time of 17
hours. This measurement interval did include the hours when the truck traffic to and from the site would be the
maximum.
Besides the measurements taken with the noise monitors at the three fixed locations, measurements were taken of
truck noise. Four (4) trucks were used during these tests. They were:
1. Flatbed Kenworth
2. Flatbed Kenworth
3. Flatbed Peterbuilt
4. 5th Wheel Peterbuilt
Attempts were made to measure the noise emissions of the trucks as they entered and left the site at the
measurement location closest to the access road, Site 1. It was not possible to obtain meaningful data because
of the traffic noise coming from 1-70 and adjusting the data as stipulated in CRS 25-12-103§(9) in order to obtain
that component of the noise attributable to truck noise. Because of this situation, static and drive-by tests were
conducted as follows:
Static Tests
The four trucks were parked side-by-side and all facing the same direction. Noise measurements were then taken
at a distance of 50 ft. in front of the trucks. The truck engines were first running at normal idle and then sped up to
1200rpm. Measured values were:
• All four trucks idle — 68.5 dB(A)
• All four trucks at 1200 rpm — 71.3 dB(A)
Drive -By Tests
Noise measurements were taken at a distance of 50 ft. from the side of the trucks as the trucks drove by at about
10 mph. The maximum dB(A) values were as follows:
■ 72 dB(A), 68 dB(A), 70 dB(A) and 70.8 dB(A)
These measurements, the static and drive-by tests, were not affected by the traffic noise from 1-70 or any other
sources because the measured dB values were more than 10 dB(A) above the background at the time of the
measurements. Also, the terrain between the trucks and the 50 ft. measurement location was flat and there were
no nearby structures that would produce reflections of the truck noise and increase the measured values.
Using these data, the noise levels at any other distance from the trucks can be computed and are presented in
Tables 1 and 2. It should be pointed out that these dB values at various distances do not include or are adjusted
for the effects of terrain or wind. That is, the dB values are what the noise level would be in a direct line -of -sight
between the noise source and receptor.

Now, the data presented in Table 1 are for the situation when all of the trucks are pointed towards the east. A
reduction of 5 dB(A) can be easily achieved by having the parked trucks pointing towards the north or south.
Doing so would reduce the noise of eight trucks from 47.9 dB(A) to 42.9 dB(A). Also there is the interaction
between the trucks of blocking each others' noise, This blocking effect, especially when there are four to eight
trucks parked, would be at least a 2 or 3 dB reduction.
Similarly, Table 2 presents the maximum drive-by noise using the highest levels of 72 dB(A) at 50 ft.

The measured truck drive-by noise level, as presented in Table 2, show that the noise level at the residentially
zone property adjacent to the access road would be 62 to 65 dB(A), if the access road were at the same level.
The access road is lower by about sixteen ft. and the barrier effect of this topography will reduce the truck
noise by about 3 to 5 dB(A) when the trucks were at that location. Another method of reducing truck noise is
to limit truck speeds to less than 5 MPH and at the sarne time engine speed to less than 500 rpm.
The measurements at the three (3) fixed locations; Sites 1, 2 and 3 show the statistical distribution as
presented in Table III.

The data presented in Table 3 shows the dB(A) values that were exceeded 5, 10, 20, 50, 75 and 90 percent of
the time during the entire 17 hour long measurement interval. The measured noise levels at Site 2 were lower
than those at Sites 1 and 3 because the traffic noise from 1-70 was partially shielded by storage trailers and
other structures located to the west of Site 2.
The reduction of noise at Site 2 shows how noise barriers can be used to reduce noise. The one -minute noise
level records, which are attached to this report and show the noise levels at the times the trucks would leave
and return to the site. Of particular interest is the existing noise level at Site 3, which is the closest to the
access road and where the truck noise would be greatest. The averages are as follows:
Trucks leaving Site, 7:00-8:OOam 59 dB(A)
Trucks returning to Site, 5:00-6:00pm 57 dB(A)
These data show that during the hours that the trucks would be leaving and returning to the site that the
average noise level at Site 3 is 57 to 59 dB(A). This means that the existing noise level at Site 3 and at other
equal distances from 1-70 are in excess of the 55 dB(A) daytime limit for residential zones as defined in CRS
25-12-103.

General Comments: Garfield County Road & Bridge Department has no objection to this
application with the following comments.
The location request is an ideal location for this type of operation as it removes the
equipment used by Tri-State Trucking to a location outside of residential areas. This
location also has good access to I-70, Highway 6 & 24 and Cr. 323 (Rulison Road) which
is one of the main accesses to the preferred haul route for the drilling industry.
There are already two other companies of this type located on the same property and this
request is consistent with the other uses.
As the accesses to this property is from a CDOT regulated roadway we have no
comments on the traffic issues or signage to the property for traffic control.

Att: To Whom It May Concern
RE: Sand Traps and Grease Traps
Effective 1 January 1997, we began operation of the Deer Creek Disposal
Facility. This facility has been PERMITTED and a CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
has been issued by Mesa County for the treatment and disposal of clean-out
wastes from sand traps and restaurant grease traps. The Process of selecting,
permitting and building this new facility has taken over 4 years to
accomplish. With the completion of this new facility, we will be able to
comply with the Colorado State Health Dept. in the disposal requirements of
sand and grease trap waste. We will be able to better serve the growing
demand for disposal of sand and grease trap waste on the Western Slope.
Testing is part of the operations permit. The cost of laboratory analysis for
sampling a waste load varies upwards from 250.00 per load. This fee is in
addition to the cleaning, transportation, and disposal fees.
The waste samples will be analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons and metals and
are subject to the following limits on metals:
Metals Acceptance Limit for Waste Loads
Arsenic (As) 5.0 mg/L
Barium (Ba) 100.0 mg/L
Cadmium (Cd) 1.0 mg/L
Chromium(Cr) 5.0 mg/L
Lead (Pb) 5.0 mg/L
Mercury (Hg) 0.2 mg/L
Selenium (Se) 1.0 mg/L
Silver (Ag) 5.0 mg/L
Actual waste loads from sand traps and restaurant grease traps are typically
well below these limits. However, any waste loads that exceed these limits
will be rejected. In addition, Goodwin Services Inc. will not accept any
incompatible wastes, hazardous wastes, or PCB wastes for treatment or
disposal at the Deer Creek Disposal Facility. Again, Actual waste loads from
sand traps and grease traps are typically not a problem. However, the
disposal of such compounds as solvents, paint thinners, and pesticides into
Mar -14-07 O9:17A Goodwin S/T Service
970 257 7584 P.O5
sand traps at a facility may render the waste loads hazardous and
unacceptable. If you use potentially hazardous compounds such as these at
your facility or you are unsure, please do not hesitate to call me at 1-877-
800-2783 toll free or 970-243-2783 to discuss possible options for preventing
your sand trap wastes from becoming contaminated with hazardous materials.
For my record-keeping requirements, I also ask that you please fill out the
short attached questionnaire and return it to me. In the event you are
required to provide evidence of proper disposal of your waste we will have it
on record. Thank you for your cooperation, and I most sincerely appreciate
your business.

Naugle, Harry & Rhonda
The above referral was received by the Town of Parachute regarding the above named applicant,
The Board of Trustees is in favor of this facility. Having a place for at least one trucking company
to park their tractors and trailers will not relieve the impact of traffic on the Towns streets but will
free up the side streets to normal traffic flow.
The additional growth related to the natural gas industry is the generator for added commercial and
residential development in Garfield County, the Town of Parachute and Battlement Mesa. To
continue to accommodate this growth the local, county and state roads must be considered.
Is the county required to submit access permits to CDOT for development?
Respectfully,

Re: Tri-State Trucking Water Supply
Dear Ron:
EXHIBIT
This letter addresses pending issues with regard to development and documentation of
a suitable water supply for the office and shop facilities your client Tri-State Trucking
proposes for a parcel of land located at Rulison, Colorado; lying in Section 25 of
Township 6 South, Range 95 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, in Garfield County.
You may wish to submit this letter to Garfield County to allay any concerns they may still
have as to the legal water supply or the proposed means of providing potable water.
Tri-State Trucking has applied with the West Divide Water Conservancy District for a
contract to furnish water to augment the proposed facility's depletions, thereby providing
a legal water supply under West Divide's existing substitute supply plan. The
application has been approved, contingent upon payment; please see the note on the
attached invoice. As per our telephone conversation with Tri-State this morning, checks
were placed in the mail to West Divide today, March 14th, to cover the balance. The
existing well will be re -permitted to allow commercial and industrial use under the West
Divide contract.
As per our recommendation, all drinking water consumed at the site is to be hauled in
from a safe source. Various means of implementing this recommendation are available.
For example, Tri-State can contract with Thirsty Corp to deliver bulk potable water to the
site. Anticipated potable water demands sum to approximately 12,000 gallons monthly.
Thirsty can make weekly deliveries to supply that quantity for about $1,000 per month.
Alternately, Tri-State can purchase bottled drinking water from Mountain Clear Water
Co. Assuming rental of 3 room temperature dispensers, each providing 5 gallons per
day, roughly 450 gallons of bottled drinking water can be delivered to the site by
Zancanella & Associates, Inc. Z:\26000\26414 Critton, Bill (Rulison)\PZletter.doc 3/14/2007 Page 1 of 2

Mountain Clear for approximately $630 per month. Selection of one of these options or
an equivalent is left to the client.

Re: Special Use Permit — Garfield County Staff Report
SE Job #: 26166.01
Dear Bill:
EXHIBIT
1
This letter is being written in response to the Garfield County Staff Report recommending denial of the Special Use
Permit Application for Parcel 3 of the Naugle Boundary Survey (in Rulison, Colorado). Section 7 of the report
recommends that the Planning Commission deny the request based on several conditions, the following conditions
can be addressed by Sopris Engineering:
The Applicant shall demonstrate how the wastewater generated from the proposed truck washing facility
will be disposed of;
To dispose of the wastewater generated by the truck wash we are recommending application for a stormwater
discharge permit in conjunction with hauling the solid waste to an approved disposal location. The material that
collects in the proposed sand/oil interceptor can be hauled off by Goodwin Septic Tank Service in Grand Junction
(970) 243-2783 and they have sent us a letter stating that they will pick up and dispose of the material at their
facility. The liquid waste would be discharge under a stormwater discharge permit and flow to the Colorado River.
We understand that the truck washing facility was an optional future expansion and if acquiring a discharge permit
is not possible, we could to remove it from the proposed plans.
The Applicant shall provide a site rehabilitation plan;
Included in our submittal for a building permit (if the SUP is approved) Sopris Engineering will provide a "Site
Rehabilitation Plan" that clearly states how the site would be reclaimed if the operation were to abandon the site.
This would include a location to stockpile and vegetate existing topsoil that could be used to reclaim the site after
all construction material has been removed and sold. The proposed structures would remain, but the parking area
and any other areas impacted by construction would be removed, covered with topsoil and re -vegetated with a
specified native seed mix.
The Applicant shall provide SWMP;
A stormwater management plan was prepared for the Special Use Permit and submitted as Sheet 3 of 5 "Grading,
Drainage & Erosion Control". This shows the proposed erosion control measure and states in the notes that the
contractor will have to apply for a SWMP with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Safety prior to any
construction. Typically this permit is applied for 30 days prior to the anticipated start of construction so that the
owner is not paying to keep a permit active until construction begins, or has a permit without Garfield County
approval.

Wildlife Issues — Tri-State Special Use Permit Application Page 1
Tri-State Trucking has proposed construction of a trucking facility on a portion of
a 54 -acre area on private property located north of the Interstate -70 (1-70) westbound
off -ramp at the Rulison exit. Tri-State has proposed a 600-ft2 shop, a plan for future
buildings, a truck parking and storage area, truck washing facilities, and employee
parking. Land Design Partnership requested that I address concerns related to mule
deer and elk that were raised by county planning staff in response to the application for
development.
Mule Deer
The area of the proposed construction is classified by the Colorado Division of
Wildlife (CDOW) as mule deer overall range (Fig. 2), mule deer winter range (Fig. 3),
and a portion of the site is mapped as mule deer severe winter range (Fig. 4).
Definitions of various deer and elk activity zones are provided in Table 1. The location
of the proposed development is not mapped by the CDOW as a winter concentration
area (Fig. 4), a resident population area (Fig. 5), or a mule deer limited use area (Fig.
7). There are no mapped mule deer migration corridors near the proposed
development (Fig. 8).
Although the area encompassing the project is mapped as mule deer winter
range, and a portion is mapped as severe winter range, in actuality the location of the
proposed development contains virtually no palatable browse and almost no travel or
resting cover. A band of land lying north and south of 1-70 from Glenwood Springs to
the Mesa County -Garfield county line is mapped as mule deer winter range and severe
winter range (Figs. 15, 16), along with a significant amount of mule deer winter
concentration areas (Fig. 17). I would rate the location of the proposed facilities as in
Beattie Wildlife Consulting
• •
Wildlife Issues - Tri-State Special Use Permit Application Page 2
the bottom 10th percentile of Garfield County habitat in terms of providing quality forage
and cover to deer during winter. The area has gently sloping terrain dominated by
greasewood, and to a lesser extent, sagebrush. This land has been severely degraded
by past livestock use and ineffective drainage from runoff channels (Figs. 23-27). A
portion of the site is almost completely devoid of vegetation (Figs. 31, 32). The
proposed project lies adjacent to existing trucking and shop operations (Teter and Sons,
Fig. 28; Stallion Oilfield Services, Fig. 29).
Construction on the proposed location will have no impact on mule deer
populations. Clustering industrial activities in poor mule deer habitat can have
significantly fewer negative impacts on mule deer when compared with scattered
development in good habitat.
Elk
Although the location of the proposed project is mapped as elk winter range, elk
are infrequent visitors to the site (Fig. 9). Elk have a much lower tolerance to
disturbance than mule deer. Siting a third trucking -shop facility at the proposed location
will have no negative impact on elk.
A significant amount of land in Garfield County is mapped as elk winter range
(Fig. 19). Existing winter range exhibits a continuum ranging from extremely poor
desert scrublands to high quality sagebrush and agricultural fields. I would rate the
quality of the habitat on the proposed site as being in the bottom 10th percentile of all elk
winter range in Garfield County.
The area of the proposed project does not contain migration corridors (Fig. 14),
severe winter range (Fig. 10), or elk winter concentration areas (Fig. 11).

Wildlife Issues - Tri-State Special Use Permit Application Page 3
Conclusion
The proposed location of Tri-State Trucking's facilities is a very good choice from
the standpoint of minimizing impacts to mule deer and elk. Clustering of industrial
activities in poor wildlife habitat has much less, or no, impact on deer and elk when
compared to alternative scenarios involving scattered development in good habitat.
The land proposed for development essentially provides no meaningful habitat
for elk and mule deer, although good habitat exists to the north (Fig. 26). Alkaline soils,
low annual precipitation, sheet and gully erosion, rocks on the surface, cattle
overgrazing, and cheatgrass invasion on the proposed site work against quality deer
and elk winter range.
Construction and subsequent operation of Tri-State Trucking's facilities will have
no population impact on mule deer and elk in this area.

Table 1. Colorado Division of Wildlife mule deer and elk habitat descriptions.
Habitat
Description
Mule Deer Overall Range
The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas
within the observed range of a mule deer population.
Mule Deer Resident Population
An area that provides year-round range for a population of mule
deer. The resident mule deer use all of the area all year; it cannot be
subdivided into seasonal ranges although it may be included within
the overall range of the larger population.
Mule Deer Severe Winter Range
That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are
located when the annual snowpack is at its maximum and/or
temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten.
Mule Deer Concentration Area
That part of the overall range where higher quality habitat supports
significantly higher densities than surrounding areas. These areas
are typically occupied year round and are not necessarily associated
with a specific season. Includes rough break country, riparian areas,
small drainages, and large areas of irrigated cropland.
Mule Deer Winter Range
That part of the overall range where 90 percent of the individuals are
located during the average five winters out of ten from the first heavy
snowfall to spring green -up, or during a site specific period of winter
as defined for each DAU.
Mule Deer Migration Corridors
A specific mappable site through which large numbers of animals
migrate and loss of which would change migration routes.
Mule Deer Highway Crossings
Those areas where mule deer movements traditionally cross roads,
presenting potential conflicts between mule deer and motorists.
Mule Deer Limited Use Area
An area within the overall range of mule deer that is only
occasionally inhabited and/or contains only a small population of
scattered mule deer.
American Elk Winter Range
That part of the overall range of a species where 90 percent of the
individuals are located during the average five winters out of ten
from the first heavy snowfall to spring green -up, or during a site
specific period of winter as defined for each DAU.
American Elk Severe Winter
Range
That part of the range of a species where 90 percent of the
individuals are located when the annual snowpack is at its maximum
and/or temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out
of ten. The winter of 1983-84 is a good example of a severe winter.
American Elk Winter
Concentration
That part of the winter range of a species where densities are at
least 200% greater than the surrounding winter range density during
the same period used to define winter range in the average five
winters out of ten.
American Elk Limited Use Area
An area within the overall range which is occasionally inhabited by
elk and/or contains a small scattered population of elk.
American Elk Highway Crossings
Those areas where elk movements traditionally cross roads,
presenting potential conflicts between elk and motorists.
American Elk Migration Corridors
A subjective indication of the general direction of the movements of
migratory ungulate herds.
