HomeMy WebLinkAboutNEW BELGIUM BREWERY, PROCESS WATER FACILITY - PDP - 1-95D - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - PLANNING OBJECTIVESO vi. No known variances to the LUC are being requested for this submittal. vii. There are no wetlands or natural areas on site. viii. 1. The Process Water Facility will comply with all requirements of the 500 yr Floodplain. . 2. The will not be any significant truck traffic increase with this Facility. There will be one truck per week servicing the facility and it will arrive via Linden St. on the north side of the site. 3. With future expansion of the brewery semi trailers for storage will be eliminated. 4. The Process Water Facility is scheduled for completion by the end of the year 5. The methane will be captured and reused. This is a perfectly safe process and will not cause odors 6. The process is anaerobic, thus not requiring oxygen. Microbes are brought into the ponds; they feed on the organic matter within the water, which cleanses it. This process produces methane as a byproduct, which will be reused for conducting electricity, and allows the water to be reused for irrigation, steam generation, cleaning processes, or coolant systems. 7. The chemicals will be stored in 2, 1000ga1 tanks, and will have secondary containment in the case of a tank leak. 8. No. 9. A signal will be installed when warranted by traffic volume. 10. The lime will probably be buried under the proposed facility, and a fugitive dust permit will be obtained prior to disturbance. 11. Yes, there will be a significant amount of coniferous trees bordering the Treatment Facility. 12. In the future, with more expansion a CO2 capture system will be built to capture the CO2, thus reducing odors from the brewing process. ix. New Belgium Brewing Company, Process water treatment facility. A Statement of Planning Objectives: i. LU. 3.1-The Process Water Facility lies within an Industrial District as defined on the city structure plan and proposes uses compatible with this district T. 1.6-A traffic study has been prepared as part of ODP submittal to illustrate impacts on traffic operations. The city's adopted level of service standards will be met for automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. ENV. 1.1-with the development of the process water facility brewery emissions will be significantly reduced. ENV. 1.23-The process water facility will collect and reuse methane gas for electricity and reduce CO2 emissions. ENV. 2.1-The Process Water Facility will comply with all regulations for the storage and use of hazardous chemicals. ENV. 2.2-New Belgium Brewery strives to recycle anything and everything they can throughout the brewing process. ENV. 3.3-TheProcess Water Facility will allow New Belgium to cleanse and reuse brewing process water through landscape irrigation, steam generation, cleaning processes, and coolant systems for the brewery. This will significantly reduce the amount of water required from the city. ENV. 4.1-The New Belgium Brewery uses wind power for all of their power needs. ENV. 7.4 The Process Water Facility will comply with all floodplain requirements. GM. 5.1-The Process Water Facility is located where it is to make use of an existing sewer line and reduce impacts on the Buckingham Neighborhood. GM. 10.1-New Belgium will work strongly with residents of the surrounding community to positively influence the adjacent neighborhoods. ii. The Process Water Facility PDP area exists on lot one of the New Belgium Property. It is surrounded by undeveloped land to the immediate West, South, and East. The city streets facility exists to the North. All of the adjacent undeveloped land is currently owned by New Belgium and consists of fill material and previously grazed areas. Beyond the undeveloped land to the east is the Andersonville Neighborhood, and South of the undeveloped land the Buckingham Neighborhood exists. The ponds of the facility will be buffered from the surrounding areas with large berms and coniferous vegetation. iii. The property will be owned and maintained by New Belgium Brewing Co. iv. One person per day. V. New Belgium Brewing Co. has been a very successful, growing business. Their increase in size and production.has had a significant impact on the city's wastewater treatment facility. With this new facility they will be able to accommodate all of their process brewing water both now and in the future. With the new Process Water Facility they will be able to recycle their water and reduce and reuse gases. The will reduce New Belgium's reliance on the city, sewer, water and electricity.
