September 30, 2026, Weld County Board of Commissioners Hearings

Weld County Board of Commissioners hearings, September 30, 2026: The board approved, as amended, LG Everest Inc.’s major amendment to the Ragsdale Reservoir sand-and-gravel mining permit (MJUSR26-20-000030). The request aligns the county permit with approved mining and reclamation plans, expands the permitted area by approximately 26.62 acres, and adds a conveyor belt to move material across Highway 85. The board revised the dust-control language to require dust to be controlled on site and added a requirement for a flood-hazard development permit for work in a special flood-hazard area. The motion carried with all commissioners in favor. No contract award, purchasing decision, or county spending was identified.

The board also heard USR26-000020, an application for a kennel and dog rescue/shelter for up to 60 dogs near County Road 19. The applicant described proposed operating measures and a Royal Disposal service for animal and related waste; nearby residents raised concerns about noise, dog containment and safety, traffic, and compatibility with agricultural uses. The board discussed the operating hours and changed the proposed closing time from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Public comment on that change was invited, but the transcript ends before a decision or vote is shown. No procurement activity was identified in this case.
