South Canyon Landfill
Certificate of Designation Corrected Boundary and Legal Description
June 27, 2016
Project Description
Submitted by the City of Glenwood Springs
Project Purpose/Statement of Need: This project description addresses the previously
approved, erroneously defined Certificate of Designation (CD) boundary and requests approval
of a corrected CD boundary for the South Canyon Landfill (SCLF) owned and operated by the
City of Glenwood Springs, Colorado (Glenwood). The boundary change is required so filling
can continue in the permitted disposal filling area outside of the erroneously placed CD
boundary.
Background: The South Canyon Landfill (SCLF) is located approximately 5 miles west of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, approximately one mile south of 1-70, along the west side of South
Canyon Road and has been operational since 1956. The only access to the site is via the landfill
entrance road off of South Canyon Creek Road which enters the site at its southeast comer. With
regard to the facility's legal description, the site is contained within approximately 3,000 acres of
property owned by Glenwood and the solid waste activities take place on pottions of Sections 2, 3,
10, and 11, Township 6 South, Range 90 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Garfield County,
Colorado. The filling area of the landfill is approxintately 40.9 acres and will not change as a result
of this boundary change request. In fact, there are no changes requested for the solid waste
operations within the revised CD boundary at this tinte.
The facility is permitted and operates in accordance with the State of Colorado Solid Waste
Regulations. The CD was issued in March 9, 1999.
The City owns approximately 3,000 acres, of which, approximately 193 acres have been zoned
by Garfield County for waste disposal and composting operations. South Canyon currently
consists of approximately 31.9 acres for Subtitle D permitted waste disposal and approximately 9
acres of historical waste. Approximately 23.1 acres ofthe approved SubtitleD landfill filling
area have been developed and tlte remaining 8.8 acres are outside the CD boundary. The change
in the CD boundary will not change these acreages, but will allow Glenwood to construct
previously approved fill acreages.
The filling area (approxintately 31.9 acres of approved SubtitleD fill and 9 acres of historic fill) is
located within a much larger property (approximately 3,000 acres) owned by Glenwood and, as
such; the fill limit is not adjacent to any other land owners in the area. Additionally, since the
submittal of the original EDOP, Glenwood acquired properties adjacent to the north side of the
permitted landfill from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management so any adjacent propetty owners
are far from the filling limit and will not be impacted by the CD boundary change.
Project Description: This project description addresses the previously approved, erroneously
defined Certificate of Designation (CD) boundary and requests approval of a corrected CD
boundary for the South Canyon Landfill (SCLF). Currently, tlte SCLF is an operating municipal
solid waste landfill, however, due to the waste fill area nearing capacity it is necessary for
Glenwood to seek an expansion of the SCLF in order to allow continued waste disposal services
while a larger proposed landfill expansion is being investigated, designed, approved by CDPHE,
and constructed. The expansion will likely require some years to become operational, therefore,
due to the immediate need to add additional landfill capacity as soon as possible, the SCLF will
need to continue disposal on an area within the fill limit that is cunently approved, requiring less
construction time. This area of approved fill limit was supposed to be within the CD boundary
but the CD boundary was defined incorrectly.
At the time the original Engineering Design and Operations Plan (EDOP) was submitted, there
was confusion concerning the location of the property boundary, the location of the landfill
within the property boundary, and the required locations for the CD boundary as shown on Plate
I (attached). The CD boundary that was approved was enoneously defined and included a large
portion of the designed and approved fill limit to be outside the CD boundary. Plate 1 (attached)
shows the approved fill limits and the cotTected CD boundary.

CD AMENDMENT
The additional lands requested in the CD Amendment are more particularly described as follows:
The SWI/4NWI/4SEI/4, the NWI/4SWI/4SE1/4, the Wl/2NEI/4SW1/4SE1/4, the
SEI/4NEI/4SW1/4, and the El/2SW1/4NEI/4SWI/4 all in Section 3, T6S, R90 W of the Sixth
Principal Meridian, Garfield County, Colorado. The above described parcels of land total40
acres, more or less.

I understand Garfield County may be meeting with representatives from Glenwood Springs and
the solid waste landfill -South Canyon to discuss administratively amending the Certificate of
Designation boundary.
The Division is very interested in and in support of, the change. In a perfect world the CD
boundary would already encompass the entire approved landfill footprint. This isn't true at
South Canyon for a variety of reasons but the City has operated in compliance by remaining
inside the CD boundary but many problems have resulted because of this boundary
limitation. With the purchase of the BLM land to the north, a CD boundary can be approved
that does encompass the already approved landfill footprint and meets the intention of the
currently approved permit.
The City will provide the requested revised boundary but I wanted to be clear that
approximately 40 acres seems adequate to encompass the northeast part of the permitted
landfill footprint, as follows.
in Section 3
SW NW SE -10 ac
NW SW SE and Wl/2 NE SW SE-15 ac
SE NE SW and El/2 SW NE SW -15 ac
the hatched area on the attached map indicates the area I have identified in this email.

The Division supports the requested boundary change which is not a landfill expansion or re-
design but a correction, or maybe update, to the official CD boundary resolution.
please call with questions or concerns. I can put this general support onto letterhead upon
request.
thank you

ZONING: Rural
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Amended Certificate of Designation
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant is requesting to amend the boundaries of Certificate of Designation for the South
Canyon Landfill. This request is a correction to the designation, as the area approved for the existing
permitted waste limit is outside of the current boundary. The City would !ike to correct this boundary
so that they may be able to use the existing areas that has been permitted for waste, to actually be
used for such. This request has been previewed by CDPHE of which they have provided support for
this action.
The County reviewed a Certificate of Designation for this landfill in 1997 that was subsequently
approved and it was amended in 1999 to expand the boundaries and allow for a compost area. This
review is dictated for content, process and criteria by C.R.S. 30-20-100.5 thru 30-20-119.
