Attached is a drawing which shows the Administration Building and its relationship to other facilities on the property. The Administration Building is in the northeast corner of the property. I believe this will take care of all statutory review requirements as per CRS 30-28-110 (2)(A). It is my understanding that you will try to schedule this matter before the Planning Commission at their April 9th meeting. I can bring a full scale drawing of the entire Wastewater Treatment Facility if you feel it is necessary. Please call me at 963-2733 if you have any questions.

Dear Mark: Please find enclosed plans and specifications for building permit review for the Town of Carbondale Water and Wastewater Administration Building. This building is being built to displace the existing water and wastewater office so that work can proceed on the Wastewater treatment plant. I understand that Mark Chain is also working with Garfield County to draft an Inter -governmental Agreement which would allow the project to be reviewed under the Town of Carbondale Building Permit process. I am not sure where that process is at but I thought in case that cannot be structured soon I would provide you with plans and specs assuming Garfield County preforms the review. I am also attaching a copy of the Garfield County Building and Planning building permit application. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc.

Part of the Board's recent decision to deny a rezoning application in the County was based on the lack of the required separation of some of the proposed lots and the existing sewage treatment facility. It is still our position that residential structures should not be located within the setbacks required for the placement of sewage treatment works. This issue was not included in the site application reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners and the Board of Health. It is our recommendation that the Town adhere to the requirements of all other site applications. It appears that the future expansion of the treatment facility may not be appropriate in the present location and that a site further down stream may be appropriate. If you have any questions about these issues, please convey them to Mark Bean, Director, Building & Planning Department. Thank you for considering these comments. Sincerely, Marian I.

Town of Carbondale Wastewater Treatment Facility Dear Dick and Dwain, d 11it��.„ r ,11 The purpose of this letter is to follow up on our recent meeting on the preliminary design layout of the Carbondale Wastewater Treatment Facility. By way of background the Town received site application approval for the expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Facility in 1996. In 1997 the town has begun the preliminary engineering to locate various processes. The administration building which will be displaced by future processes has been bid and construction will start in April of 1997. Over the last two months SGM has been working closely with Town operation staff to not only locate processes for this phase but also to allow the facility to be expanded in the future. We believe that the growth that is occuring in the Carbondale area will require the need for future expansions. Attached please find enclosed a preliminary layout of the existing Carbondale Wastewater Treatment Facility along with the proposed footprint of certain processes. We believe these footprints represent the most efficient use of this site and is condusive to expandability in the future. Unfortunately ..,me of these buildings fall within the 100 ft. setback line from a row of tragi 's within the Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park, some of which are owned uy the Town of Carbondale. Please note that some of the existing processes including the existing pretreatment building and the secondary clarifier are within the 100 ft. setback line. You will note on the map that six trailers are located within the property boundary of the site and are owned by the Town of Carbondale. The owners of these trailers lease the site from the Town. During the site application process the town met with these Homeowners and outlined the towns expansion plans. The Town currently has a 30 day termination clause for these sites. Without exception all of these owners wish to remain at the present site despite the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. Trailer sites are extremely limited in the Roaring Fork Valley. The displacement of these trailers would likely result in a relocation of these owners as far west as the Silt and Rifle area. We believe the plant expansion can occur within the 100 ft. setback distance and NPR -1E 97 13:58 FROM:CDPHE GRAND JUNCTION 1-978-248-7158 TO:919457785 PAGE:03 Page 2 ApHI 7, 1997 Bowman, Watson yet maintain the goals and policies of the Department of Health as well as the Town of Carbondale i.e. water quality, regionalization and protection of public health. Themitigating factors which support this conclusion are as follows: 1. The trailers are situated approximately 30 ft. higher than the proposed WWTP site. 2. All of the proposed basins will be covered. 3. All of the buildings will be positively vented to one discreet location. This location can be on the riverside of the proposed buildings. The air handling systems will be designed to accommodate odor control in the future. 4. We believe that complaints in the past were due to the existence of a Forest Service septage odor vault located within the existing pre-treatment building. In the past the town accepted septage from the Forest Service and treated that waste on site. A second source of odor is from the sludge handling process. currently because there are no sludge thickening or de -watering facilities on site the Town must decant sludge within the aerobic digesters. After the decanting process defused air is reintroduced into the digestor which creates odor. The plant expansion being proposed for this next phase will introduce sludge thickening which will eliminate the need for decanting. 5. The prevailing winds in the vicinity of the Wastewater Treatment Facility are along the river corridor or along the valley floor in an East West direction. If the town were able to expand the treatment facility efficiently and within the 100 ft. setback distance several positive goals can be maintained. Those are as follows: 1. The plant can be expanded for this next phase to accommodate future expansions. 2. The aeration basins can be clustered around the existing buildings leaving the eastern half of the site for future expansion and future processes. 3. If the ammonia background levels within the Roaring Fork River required ammonia removal, adequate space would be available for these processes. 4. By allowing for a larger facility that can be expanded in the future may eliminate the need for smaller packaged treatment plants that will serve the SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC APR -1E 97 1::58 FROM:CDPHE•GRANC' JUNCTION 1-970-248-7198 TO:919457785 PAGE:04 Page 3 April 7, 1997 Bowman.

We would appreciate direction from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on the setback issue in particular for this site. To summarize we believe that the goals of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Town of Carbondale can be met by expanding the facility in an r;Yient safe manner, yet within the distance of the 100 ft. setback. As always we are very much appreciated the time you spent meeting with the town staff. Your other comments pertaining to other issues were very welcome.

That letter commented on the Town of Carbondale effort to work with the CDOPHE on locating various processes within the present boundary of the Town's Wastewater Treatment Facility. Specifically your letter addressed the 100 foot setback issue. RECEIVED MAY 15 1997 GARF ELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS o :s„, Through this letter we hope to begin a dialogue of the issue of the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion and explain to you the issues involved in locating various processes on site particularly as they pertain to the 100 ft. setback rule. By way of background the Town received site application approval for the expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Facility in 1996. In 1997 the Town has begun the preliminary engineering to locate various processes. The Town had hoped to finalize these decisions so that final design could proceed with plans complete in the June 1997 time frame. This would allow construction to proceed in July of 1997. Substantial foundation and yard piping work could proceed through 1997 so that work could proceed through the winter months without being delayed by cold weather. The administration building which will be displaced by future processes has been bid and construction started in the last week of April. Over the last two months, Schmueser Gordon Meyer, the Town's consulting engineer has been working closely with Town operation staff to not only locate processes for this next phase but to also give consideration to expandability in the future, We believe that the growth that is occurring in the Carbondale area and rural Garfield County may require the need for future expansions. Prudent planning dictates the efficient use of the precious resource of !and available for wastewater treatment. Attached is a drawing which is a culmination of that planning which attempted to layout the footprints to not only meet the next phase of expansion but the long term needs of Carbondale and Rural Garfield County. As you can see on the map, the footprint for the next phase aeration basin is Tess than 100 ft. from adjoining mobile homes within the Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park. Because of this and because of our awareness of the setback policy of the CDOPHE we held a meeting with Town staff, SGM, Mr. Bowman and Mr. Watson of the CDOPHE to discuss these issues. You will note on the map six trailers are located within the property boundaries of the site and are owned by the Town of Carbondale. The owners of these trailers lease the site from the Town. During the site application process the Town met with these homeowners and outlined the Town's expansion plans. The Town currently has a 30 day termination clause for the sites. Without exception all the owners wish to remain at the present site despite the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. Trailer sites are extremely limited in the Roaring Fork Valley and in Garfield May 13, 1997 BOCC Page 2 County. The displacement of these trailers would likely result in a relocation of these owners from the Roaring Fork Valley. We believe the Plant expansion can occur within the 100 ft. setback policy and yet maintain the goals and policies of the Department of Health as well as the Town of Carbondale and Garfield County i.e. water quality, regionalization and protection of public health. The State policy is only a policy and suggests that the minimum horizontal distances shall be maintained between habitable structures and newer expanded Wastewater Treatment Facilities unless specific mitigating factors exist. We believe that mitigating factors exist and that measures can be taken to resolve the concern of all parties. The mitigating factors which support this conclusion are as follows: 1. The trailers are situated approximately 30 feet higher than the proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant site. 2. All of the proposed basins will be covered with buildings. 3. All of the buildings will be positively vented to one discreet location. This location can be on the riverside of the proposed buildings which is more than 100 feet away from the mobile homes. The air handling systems will be designed to accommodate odor control in the future. 4. Past complaints were received by the Town for odors but were due to the existence of a Forest Service septage odor vault located within the existing pretreatment building. In the past the Town accepted septage from the Forest Service and treated that waste on site. The Town no longer accepts septage from the Forest Service or any other sources. A second source of odor is from the sludge handling process. Currently because there are no sludge thickening or dewatering facilities on site the Town must decant sludge within the aerobic digestors. After the decanting process diffused air is reintroduced into the digestor which creates odor. The Plant expansion being proposed for this next phase will introduce sludge thickening which will eliminate the need for decanting. 5. The prevailing winds in the vicinity of the Wastewater Treatment Facility are along the river corridor or along the valley floor in an East West direction. In addition to these mitigating factors the Town is proceeding with some long term objectives which impact this issue. The Town has undertaken the process of annexing this segment of Town. Secondly, the Town is currently working with CRMS about the possibility of the school abandoning their Wastewater Treatment Facility percolation ponds and connecting to the Carbondale Wastewater Treatment Facility. May 13, 1997 BOCC Page 3 Expanding the Treatment Facility efficiently and within the 100 -foot setback distance will result in several advantages. Those are as follows: 1. The plant can be expanded for this next phase to accommodate future expansions. 2. The aeration basins can be clustered around the existing buildings leaving the eastern half of the site for future expansion and future processes. 3. If the ammonia background levels within the Roaring Fork River required ammonia removal, adequate space would be available for these processes. 4. By allowing for a larger facility that can be expanded in the future may eliminate the need for smaller packaged treatment plants that will serve the inevitable future growth in the Crystal River and Roaring Fork Valleys. 5. The Town can maintain badly needed attainable housing. We would appreciate your consideration in this matter. We would welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and discuss this in more detail. To summarize, we believe that the goals of the CDOPHE, the Town of Carbondale and Garfield County can be met by expanding the facility in an efficient and safe manner yet within the distance of the 100 -foot setback. The Town has considered through the Master Plan process the relocation of the plant site. A site on the CRMS property near the present CRMS lagoon was considered. The cost of that facility, the necessary interceptors and lift stations necessary were in excess of $7 million and did not include the purchase price of the land. This cost is more than the present Town of Carbondale citizens can withstand. As always, we appreciate your comments on these matters. We would welcome the opportunity to sit down and discuss this in more detail. Sincerely, Randy Vanderhurst, Mayor Town of Carbondale cc: Dwain Watson Dick Bowman Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc.

In granting this variance, we ask that the following conditions be met: 1) The Aeration, Digestion, and Pretreatment buildings must be covered and vented on the river side of the buildings. 2) The new buildings air handling systems must be designed to accommodate odor control equipment in the event such equipment is necessary. 3) The Town or their engineer contact Dennis Myers (Colo Dept of Health & Env, Air Pollution Control Division, {303}692-3176 ) to inquire if an Air Pollution Permit is required for its air handling system listed above. 4) The Town continue with their long term plans to annex this segment of town south of the Wastewater Treatment Plant where the adjoining mobile homes are currently located (as stated in your May 13, 1997 letter to the Garfield County Commissioners). In a recent discussion with John Blair, of this office, he stated that with the expansion of the Basalt Sanitation District and the MidValley Metropolitan District, the ammonia effluent limits for the Carbondale plant would be in the 10mg/1 range. I recommend your engineer consider this in their final Plans and Specs documents. In a related issue, I will be available to meet with you and the town's elected officials on October 7, 1997.

As you know the Town of Carbondale has expanded their WWTF through an expansion to 1 MG per day. The plant was completed in 1999. As an addition onto the plant, the town would like to add a dechlorination process. The dechlorination process will help the Town meet the chlorine limitation to the Roaring Fork River. The dechlorination process will consist of a sulphur dioxide feed, which will eliminate free residual chlorine in the wastewater effluent. The Town has submitted an Amended Site Application to the CDPHE. An Amended Site Application is required because they are adding a process to the facility. According to Ginny Torrez, Compliance Assurance/Enforcement Program, Water Quality Protection Section, a review by the local review agencies of the Amended Site Application is not necessary; however, she recommended noticing you of the above-mentioned change. According to Ginny, if you have any concerns, you must submit a comment to the Division within 15 days of receipt of this letter. I am attaching a copy of the letter we received from the CDPHE explaining the process. If you have any questions or comments on the addition of the sulphur dioxide, please contact me.

The comments submitted previously expressing concern about the lack of separation between the Town's wastewater treatment facilities and some nearby residences are withdrawn by this letter and our previous recommendation of approval is again valid. Based on a presentation by the Town staff and engineer, the Board has concluded that the proposed expansion of the Carbondale Sewage Treatment works has been designed to allow for the future expansion of facility in an economical manner and that potential odor problems have been mitigated. The replacement of existing pretreatment building should also eliminate most of the present complaints about odor. In summary, the Board of County Commissioners and Board of Health, withdraw their previous concerns about the lack of separation between the Town's sewage treatment facilities and the nearby residential uses. If anyone has any questions about this letter, please have them call Mark Bean at 945-8212. Sincerely, Marian I. Smith, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Board of Health 109 8th Street, Suite 300 • Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601-3363 • Telephone (970) 945-5004
