Drinking water will be supplied and delivered by the Thirsty Water
Company of Glenwood Springs, CO. We will make use of their Water
Buffalo Trailer. This trailer holds 1235 gallons of drinking water, with
water spigots that will serve a variety of event types. We plan to have
potable water delivered by Thirsty Water Company at a rate of up to
3100 gallons per delivery. This water will supply the vault and haul
sanitation systems for the toilets and sinks. Each sink will have a do
not drink, (non -potable) water sign. Water demand will vary
depending on the size of events and we will order water accordingly
on an event by event basis. (see attach: 6- Thirsty quote and contract
as well as their certified state number.)
We plan to run a pipeline from the existing subdivision system
already in place to furnish an outside hydrant strictly for maintenance,
ranch use and fire mitigation. Indoor fire sprinklers have been
deemed unnecessary by the Fire Marshall, so no water is required for
such a system.(see attach: 3- Fire Mitigation Plan) Due to the dry -
land natural state of the site we will not be using an outdoor irrigation
system. This pipeline is part of our 12-18 month plan for the ranch.
Waste Water Management and System Plan
After much deliberation and forethought, we will be using a vault and
haul sanitation system. It is best suited for our application. Our
facility is not full-time. Most of our events will have an average of
150-175 people. We anticipate at most two events per weekend
during the months from May -October. Because of the seasonal,
sporadic nature of the projected use this is the logical/smart choice.
We see the advantage to having our on-site vault and haul system as
being less impactful. There will be one-half the impact of having
porta-potties delivered and removed for each event; as well as the
convenience of having an accessible on-site facility.
The wastewater from the sinks and toilets will be stored in a minimum
2000 gallon holding tank and pumped after each event. United Site
Services of Colorado, Inc. will be providing this service. We plan to
pass this cost to each client. (see attach: 7- United Site Services
sample quote and contract.) The tank will be cement because of its
suitability for the soils in the area. (see attach: 10- the Web Soils
Survey and Site Plan) This size of tank will be more than sufficient
for the size of events we foresee. See the proposed location of the
holding tank on the site map. It is located more than 100 feet from
the waters edge. The onsite sinks will also provide a potable hand
washing location for potential event caterers.
