Exhibit B — Site Description <br /> The site of the proposed Signal Reservoir No. 1 expansion lies entirely within the geographic <br /> footprint of the exiting original reservoir as illustrated in Exhibit A—Site Conditions. This <br /> reservoir, constructed in 1890 has traditionally been used to store irrigation water for use in <br /> northern Adams County, Colorado. The existing reservoir has been empty of water for several <br /> years and remains so in anticipation of the planned expansion. <br /> The permit and affected land boundaries are identical and encompass an area of approximately <br /> thirty (29.72) acres. <br /> Two other water storage reservoirs are located on the parcel containing the project site. All are <br /> owned and operated by Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District. <br /> Properties surrounding the property containing the permit area are primarily used for <br /> agricultural purposes including livestock grazing and dry land crop farming. <br /> Oil and gas wells have been developed on the properties adjacent to the project site however, <br /> with the exception of a single well on the applicant property the remainder are located well <br /> beyond the 200 foot buffer zone. The well within the property is outside of the permit <br /> boundary and the affected lands boundary and will not be impacted by planned construction <br /> activity. <br /> The only additional permanent structures within 200 feet of the permit boundary are fences <br /> and a dirt two-track road along the western boundary of the property that provides access to <br /> oil wells located to the northwest of the Signal Reservoir No. 1. These structures have been <br /> identified on Exhibits A, B-1, B-2. E-1 and E-2 and the agreements with the owners of these <br /> structures are included in Exhibit L. <br /> Access to the project site is provided via a gated gravel entrance road, owned by the applicant, <br /> which intersects the southern side of E. 168th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado. E. 168th Avenue also <br /> known as County Road 2 follows the northern boundary of Adams County with Weld County. <br /> The entrance to the project site is approximately four (4) miles west of the town of Brighton <br /> and three quarters (3/4) of a mile north of the City of Thornton. <br /> Use of the existing gravel entrance road will be restricted to incidental traffic during the <br /> expansion project. Employees of the construction contractor will use this road twice per day to <br /> access the site. Entry by maintenance vehicles and support vendors will be occasional and on <br /> an as-needed basis. None of the material excavated from the reservoir will be transported via <br /> this road therefore no improvement of this road is required to support the project. <br /> Signal#1 Reservoir Expansion-111 Special Operations Permit Application <br /> March 22,2018 7 <br />
