AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE:
Lincoln County Weed & Pest: At the time of inspection there were no known noxious weeds. Star Valley Conservation District: Due to a large variation between water levels in this section, SVCD
recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an
enhanced septic system. We also recommend that soil cuts be taken in the spring/early summer when
groundwater is highest. If soil cuts are done at other times know that static water level can fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year.
State Engineer's Office: The State Engineer’s Office has reviewed the subdivision application and
conducted a preliminary examination of the agency’s water rights database. Based on this review and
W.S. 18-5-306, we have determined that there are irrigated acres associated with the subdivision lands under Permit No. 1266 Enl. These irrigated acres must be addressed per Statute.
The subdivider is legally obligated to address these irrigated acres and take the necessary actions to
ensure compliance with W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi). As of the date of this correspondence, the State Engineer’s
Office has not received any documentation addressing the intended disposition of these water rights. Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality: Based on the materials and information presently
submitted for this Chapter 23 subdivision application, the WDEQ is issuing a “Non-Adverse”
recommendation applicable to the Subdivision under the condition that the "Notes Required to Be Added
to the Final Plat" are included in the final plat. If the "Notes Required to Be Added to the Final Plat" are not added to the plat, then WDEQ's recommendation would be “Adverse.”
NOTES REQUIRED TO BE ADDED TO THE FINAL PLAT:
• In order to meet requirements established in Wyoming Water Quality Rules, Chapter 23 and
Lincoln County Commercial Subdivision requirements, individual septic systems are required to be enhanced treatment systems.
SUNRISE ENGINEERING TRAFFIC STUDY: May 2026
AUXILIARY LANE WARRANT Auxiliary lane warrants indicate that a southbound right-turn lane on Hwy-89 at Creamery Rd is warranted under existing conditions. This improvement should be considered a safety and access
management measure because it would separate decelerating right-turn vehicles from through traffic on
the high-speed Hwy-89 corridor.
The analysis does not identify a need for additional capacity-based mitigation based on LOS, V/C, or queuing results. Any additional auxiliary lane improvements should be coordinated with WYDOT and
Lincoln County during final access review and design
708 MA 26 BCC
SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS Signal warrant reports for each analysis scenario are provided in Appendix C. Under Existing 2025,
2030 Background, and 2030 Background + Project conditions with both proposed accesses, Warrants 1
through 3 are not satisfied. Under the 2030 Background + Project scenario without the direct Hwy-89
access, Warrant 3 is satisfied under Condition B. By 2040, Warrant 1 Condition B, Warrant 2, and Warrant 3 Condition B are satisfied under the Background and Background + Project scenarios.
Although future signal warrants are met under some scenarios, signal installation is not recommended
at this time. The intersection does not show a substantial V/C or queuing deficiency, and a new signal on
this high-speed rural segment of Hwy-89 could introduce additional stopping conditions and increase rearend crash potential. Future signalization should be reevaluated as traffic volumes, development patterns, crash history, and WYDOT review indicate.

RE: Creamery Park Subdivision, WDEQ 2026-0111
Dear Commissioners:
The Ground Water Division of the State Engineer’s Office has received application materials
pertaining to the Creamery Park Subdivision, WDEQ 2026-0111 from the Wyoming Department
of Environmental Quality, requesting information and advice to the Water Quality Division.
The aforementioned subdivision is proposed to be situated within the SE¼ SE¼ of Section 3 of
Township 35 North, Range 119 West, Goshen County, Wyoming. The proposed subdivision
consists of 11 lots totaling approximately 14-acres, with a gross density of about 1.3 acres each.
Proposed lots will be for commercial use. The proposed water supply service from Etna Water
and Sewer District.
The State Engineer’s Office has reviewed the subdivision application and conducted a
preliminary examination of the agency’s water rights database. Based on this review and W.S.
18-5-306, we have determined that there are irrigated acres associated with the subdivision lands
under Permit No. 1266 Enl. These irrigated acres must be addressed per Statute.
The subdivider is legally obligated to address these irrigated acres and take the necessary actions
to ensure compliance with W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi). As of the date of this correspondence, the State
Engineer’s Office has not received any documentation addressing the intended disposition of
these water rights. For detailed guidance on the legal obligations and procedural steps necessary
to address these irrigated acres, please refer to item 6 below.
Additional Comments:
1. Drilling of any water well requires an approved permit before work commences. The
State Engineer water right permit grants the applicant the right to seek to develop a water
supply to meet the proposed needs. It does not guarantee that water will be physically
available.

CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the materials and information presently submitted for this Chapter 23 subdivision application, the WDEQ is
issuing a “Non-Adverse” recommendation applicable to the Subdivision under the condition that the "Notes Required
to Be Added to the Final Plat" are included in the final plat. If the "Notes Required to Be Added to the Final Plat" are
not added to the plat, then WDEQ's recommendation would be “Adverse.”
Disclaimer:
The Adverse recommendation provided above has nothing to do with, nor has any bearing on the water rights associated
with the Subdivision. Any questions or concerns about the water rights for the Subdivision should be directed to the
State Engineer’s Office.
Nothing in Department of Environmental Quality recommendations or comments regarding the proposal for the
Subdivision shall be construed to relieve Courtney Campbell, or Five Crazy Kids, LLC, of the obligation to obtain any
permits or additional approval from any local, state or federal agencies as required by law, rules, regulations, or
ordinances. Nothing in these recommendations commits the Department of Environmental Quality or Lincoln County
to the issuance of required permits for construction, operation, or modification of water supply or sewage systems.

Jamie,
I suggest a traffic study to be performed to analyze at a minimum the turning movements, address
turning vehicle conflicts/blockage, and to determine adequate storage lengths for right turns and (back-
to-back) left turns to/from US 89. Commercial development = storage lengths should account for larger
vehicles.
AASHTO (CH 9) discusses the items mentioned.
WYDOT Access Manual recommended offset for frontage roads is 660'.
Conservatively the frontage road offset should be measured between paved edge to paved edge, and a
jughandle alignment may be considered for the frontage road.
The existing access in the southern corner is permitted as a field approach.
Thank you.

Amy and Darin,
I am looking for some guidance on a proposed subdivision in the north Etna area.
The proposed development would consist of 10 commercial lots. We do not know yet what type of businesses will be occupying the lots.
The developer is looking at platting the lots and selling them to individuals who will be responsible for pulling the appropriate permits to
construct the business.
We have designed the subdivision with a loop road - access off of Creamery County Road No. 12-111 and US Highway 89.
You will note the entry to the subdivision road is approximately 170 feet from the right of way of US Highway 89.
Are there some guidelines for queuing distances? Will we need to design the subdivision road so that it has more queuing distance to the
intersection?
Darin.
It appears there is an access approach near the southern entrance of the proposed subdivision road. Can you tell me what this approach is
permitted for?
