Dear Lorne,
Garfield County is in receipt of the application referenced above, submitted on June 28,
2013. As you are aware the subject site of this application currently does not exist and
is in review for a Subdivision Exemption. The review of this request can continue
however no approvals may be granted until such time as the parcel exists.
The Major Impact application has been reviewed for completeness of the technical
requirements specified in the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as amended and
found to be lacking in the following information:
1. Pursuant to Table 4 -201, a Water Supply Plan is a submittal requirement. The
request for waiver from Section 7 -104 does not release you from this submittal
requirement. This Substitute Water Supply Plan is but one component of the
Water Supply Plan which shall include the following information:
a. The representation is that the proposed facility will only have workers on-
site "occasionally ", also described as proposed intermittent use. Please
provide the following specific information related to this issue:
i. How many workers will there be?
ii. How many hours per day, days per week, etc?
iii. Will these workers have access to drinking water and sanitary
facilities? If on -site, where /how? If oft site, where /how?
b. Water Hauling for treatment:
i. How many trucks will be required for hauling?
ii. At what point along Parachute Creek will water be drawn from?
iii. What route will they use to get to the project site?
iv. How many trips per day?
2. What documentation is provided in support of the statement that "Operation of
the facility will not exceed the Rural Zone standards established by the COGCC
1
and Colorado Noise Statute requirements. "? A noise analysis or machinery
specifications are required to demonstrate that the facility will operate within
acceptable levels pursuant to the C.R.S. requirements.
3. A site plan' is required in compliance with Section 4 -203 (D), and although the
individual requirements may occur within the submittal documentation we do
need one document that meets these requirements. See code section for all
requirements.
4. Section 4 -203 (A) requires that preparation and certification of certain documents
is required; please update plans and reports with signatures of the preparer and
certification stamps, as applicable. For example, the Geologic and Soils Hazard
Report should be signed by the preparer and stamped as a certified engineer or
geologist and the preparer of the noxious weed plan should also be signed.
5. We understand that a State Highway Access Permit is required to assure legal
access to the site and the certain physical improvements are necessary as well.
The pending exemption application may resolve these issues which will be
further discussed through the review process.
6. Please add information to the project description that discusses the lining or
other treatment of the remediation cell(s).
7. Please provide a list of the air quality permits that will be required for a facility of
this type, the project description mentions obtaining the appropriate permits but
does not indicate what they are.
Pursuant to Section 4 -101 (B)(2)(a) the Applicant has 60 -days to remedy these
deficiencies otherwise the application will be considered withdrawn.
Please contact me with any questions related to this review.
