The maximum grades on Sierra Vista Road and on Alta Mesa Road, between Garfield County Road 331 and Sierra Bluffs Subdivision, do not exceed 8% and the minimum curve radius is 100 feet. This route has been improved in the past and, with some minor maintenance work, will meet the requirements of the Garfield County Road Standards for a Semi -Primitive Rural Access Road (21-100 V.P.D.) Road Easement B, as shown on the Preliminary Plan Map, will be constructed to the above standards only to the southeast corner of proposed Lot 4, but will remain as an easement to provide future access, if needed, to Lot 15 of Sierra Vista Ranch. The Venado Road Easement, as shown on the Preliminary Plan Map, has been previously constructed, and will require only minor blading and ditch work, plus gravel, to meet the above standards. The improvements to Venado road will be constructed only to the southeast corner of proposed Lot 2. Grades on Road Easement B and on Venado Road will not exceed 8% when these roads are completed. The minimum radius for curves will exceed 100 ft. A new easement, designated Road Easement C, has been created along the west boundary of Lots 10 and 15, Sierra Vista Ranch, to provide access to Lots 6 and 7 of this subdivision. This road will be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of the Garfield County Road Standards for a Primitive Residential Road (11-20 V.P.D.) The easement for this road across Lot 15 of Sierra Vista Ranch has been granted by the owner and is of record at Book 840, Page 787 of the Garfield County records. 4:60 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A. No sites for public or common facilities are proposed other than the road easements for ingress and egress. B. No phasing plan is proposed. The entire subdivision will be submitted as one Final Plat, and all improvements required of the developer will be constructed at once. C. All lots will have access to Garfield County Road 331 via existing private road easements of Sierra Vista Ranch and/or by additional road easements as shown on the Preliminary Plan map. The existing roads within the platted easements will be improved by the developer to meet requirements of the Garfield County Road Standards for a Semi -Primitive Rural Access Road (21-100 V.P.D.) It is the developer's plan to provide ingress/egress along private roads constructed to the above referenced Garfield County Road Attachment to Sierra Bluffs Subdivision Preliminary Plan Starbuck Surveyors & Engineers Job No. 94-066 Page 1 • • • Standard. In the future, owners of lots along each road may choose to dedicate that road to the public and petition the County to add the road to the County system. D. It is anticipated that lot owners will provide ample parking on their lots for the needs of themselves and their guests and that parking along the access roads will not create any problems. E. There are areas where soil and ground cover conditions may require special engineering evaluations for any specific site or use. F. There are no known areas of potential radiation hazards in the entire area of Sierra Vista Ranch. G. Copies of current title commitments are included. H. This is a resubdivision of previously platted lots. No section breakdowns were necessary.

Geology The geology of the proposed Sierra Bluffs Subdivision is made up of sandstone and shale units of the Wasatch formation of early Tertiary age. These stratigraphic units are nearly horizontal, dipping slightly to the northwest. These units form a plateau with elevations up to 5800 feet. This plateau has been dissected by the major drainage of Dry Hollow Creek just west of the western boundary of this subdivision. The topographic relief from the plateau to Dry Hollow Creek, at the extreme northwest corner of proposed Lot 7, is approximately 325 feet. There are potential development problems due to steep slopes, expansive soils and structurally weak soils. These potential problems should be investigated at each specific building site at the time of applying for a building permit. Building foundations and individual sewage disposal systems should be designed by a professional engineer if geotechnical investigations reveal any site specific problems. This could be a requirement of the building permit and individual sewage disposal system permit applications. The geology is further explained in the following USDA soils maps and interpretations. B. Soils Because of the extremely varied nature of the soils in the proposed subdivision, site specific geotechnical investigations will need to be conducted at each selected site at the time of building permit and ISDS permit applications. The following note shall be included on the Final Plat: "Soils: A site specific geotechnical report, prepared by a registered professional engineer licensed by the State of Colorado, is required for all structures, including sewage disposal systems, prior to the issuance of a building permit or an individual sewage disposal system permit."

These areas make up about 5 to 10 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderately slow, and available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel oak, serviceberry, elk sedge, and bromes. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and woody shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable weeds, and annual plants are abundant. Properly managing grazing main- tains and improves range condition. Mule deer, elk, cottontail rabbit, wild turkey, and blue grouse find habitat on this soil. Community development and sanitary facilities are lim- ited by steep slopes and low strength. This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated. 2—Arle-Ansari-Rock outcrop complex, 12 to 65 percent slopes. This complex consists of strongly slop- ing to steep soils and Rock outcrop on mountainsides and sloping alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,500 to 07,500 feet. The soils formed in alluvium derived from red -bed shale and sandstone. The average annual pre- cipitation is about 16 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 42 degrees F, and' the average frost -free period is about 100 days. The Arle soil makes up about 45 percent of the com- plex, the Ansari soil makes up about 35 percent, and Rock outcrop makes up about 20 percent. The Arle soil is moderately deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown very stony loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil and substratum are reddish brown very stony loam about 22 inches thick. Soft reddish brown sandstone and shale are at a depth of 32 inches. Permeability of the Arle soil is moderate, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 20 to 40 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is severe. The Ansari soil is shallow and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown loam about 10 inches thick. The substratum is reddish brown stony loam. Bed- rock is hard, reddish brown sandstone. Permeability of the Ansari soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 10 to 20 inches. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. Rock outcrop is mainly red sandstone. This complex is used mainly for grazing and wildlife *habitat. The native vegetation on the Arle soil is mainly wheat - grass, Indian ricegrass, mountainmahogany, and sage- brush. The native vegetation on the Ansari soil is mainly Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Mule deer, rabbit, and grouse find habitat on these soils. Use of this complex for community development or as a source of construction material is limited mainly by depth to rock, steep slopes, thin layers of borrow materi- al, and Targe stones. Special design can overcome these limitations. Drainage and structures to control runoff from snowmelt reduce erosion around construction sites and roads. This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. /3—Arvada loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces (fig. 4). Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sand- stone and shale. The average annual precipitation is about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. • Typically, the surface layer is strongly alkaline or very strongly alkaline, pale brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Limon, Kim, Heldt, and Wann soils. Also included are some soils that are high in silt. Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity is' moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat, limited grazing, and some irrigated farming. Irrigated crops produce very poorly because the soil takes water in very slowly and is droughty. Leaching is needed to remove excess salts if this soil is to be irrigat- ed. Soil amendments containing sulphur are helpful in leaching the salt. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly saltgrass, alkali sacaton, and greasewood. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and im- proves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat- ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish- • • • RIFLE AREA, COLORADO ment. Reducing brush improves the range if the grass understory is adequate. Cottontail rabbit and pheasant find shelter on this soil if they can obtain food in surrounding areas. use of this soil for sanitary facilities, for community development, and as a source of construction material is limited by the high shrink -swell potential, slow permeabil- ity, clayey textures, and salinity. This soil is in capability subclass VIIs, irrigated and nonirrigated. 4—Arvada loam, 6 to 20 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces.

Sur- face runoff is moderately rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly sagebrush, greasewood, and wheatgrass. When range condition deteriorates, grasses decrease and weedy forbs, cheatgrass, big sagebrush, and greasewood increase. Properly managing grazing main- tains and improves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat- ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish- ment. Brush should not be reduced because grass pro- duction is low and some desirable native shrubs could be destroyed. Cottontail and pheasants find shelter on this soil if they can obtain food in surrounding areas. Use of this soil for sanitary facilities and as a source of construction material is limited by the large amounts of clay and salts. This soil is corrosive to steel and con- crete. Community development is limited by high shrink - swell potential, salinity, and steep slopes.

This broadly defined unit consists of ex- posed sandstone and shale bedrock, loose stones, and soils that are shallow to deep over sandstone and shale bedrock and stony basaltic alluvium. This complex occurs throughout the survey area. The soils and out- crops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 45 percent of the com- plex, Camborthids make up 20 percent, and Rock out- crop makes up 15 percent. The Torriorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below Rock outcrop. The moderately steep Camborthids are on lower toe slopes and concave open areas on foothills and mountainsides. Torriorthents are shallow to moderately deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and contain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher - lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colorado River, basaltic stones and cobbles are on the surface. Camborthids are shallow to deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and have slightly more clay in the sub- soil than in the surface layer. The surface layer is light colored. The profile is normally free of stones, but scat- tered basalt stones, cobbles, and sandstone fragments are on the surface. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small, isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Begay, Heldt, and Dollard soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 20 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The stones on the surface and the steep slopes make this complex unsuitable for crops. Some areas can be reseeded to pasture by broadcast seeding. Other plant- ing methods are made difficult by the stones and slopes. The native vegetation includes wheatgrasses, blue - grasses, Indian ricegrass, needlegrasses, bitterbrush, mountainmahogany, sagebrush, and an overstory of pinyon and juniper. The value of grazing is fair. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited graz- ing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides firewood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe erosion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Building is limited by steep slopes and stoniness. These limitations can be overcome by appropriate design and construction. • • 37 This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 67—Torrlorthents-Rock outcrop complex, steep.

Areas of this complex occur throughout the survey area. The soils and outcrops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 60 percent of this com- plex, and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Tor- riorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the Rock outcrop. Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and con- tain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher -lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colora- do River, stones and cobbles of basalt are on the sur- face. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihill soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 15 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habi- tat, and recreation. Because of the stones on the surface, the ROCK out- crop, and the steep slope, this complex is unsuited to crops. The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass, Indian ricegrass, needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush, mountainmahogany and an overstory of pinyon and juni- per. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides fire- wood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe ero- sion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Community development is limited by the ROCK out- crop, steep slopes, and stoniness.

The • 72 SOIL SURVEY Each crder is identified by a word ending in so/. An example is Entisol. SUBORDER. Each order is divided into suborders based primarily on properties that influence soil genesis and are important to plant growth or that are selected to reflect the most important variables within the orders. The last syllable in the name of a suborder indicates the order. An example is Aquent (Aqu, meaning water, plus ent, from Entisol). GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into great groups en the basis of close similarities in kind, arrange- ment, and degree of expression of pedogenic horizons; soil moisture and temperature regimes; and base status. Each great group is identified by the name of a suborder and a prefix that suggests something about the proper- ties of the soil. An example is Haplaquents (Hap/, mean - ng simple horizons, plus aquent, the suborder of Enti- sols that have an aquic moisture regime). SUBGROUP. Each great group may be divided into tnree subgroups: the central (typic) concept of the great groups, which is not necessarily the most extensive sub- group; the intergrades, or transitional forms to other orders, suborders, or great groups; and the extragrades, which have some properties that are representative of the great groups but do not indicate transitions to any other known kind of soil. Each subgroup is identified by one or more adjectives preceding the name of the great group. The adjective Typic identifies the subgroup that is thought to typify the great group. An example is Typic Haplaquents. FAMILY. Families are established within a subgroup on the basis of similar physical and chemical properties that affect management. Among the properties considered in horizons of major biological activity below plow depth are particle -size distribution, mineral content, temperature regime, thickness of the soil penetrable by roots, consis- tence, moisture equivalent, soil slope, and permanent cracks. A family name consists of the name of a sub- group and a series of adjectives. The adjectives are the class names for the soil properties used as family differ- entiae. An example is fine -loamy, mixed, nonacid, mesic, Typic Haplaquents. SERIES. The series consists of soils that formed in a particular kind of material and have horizons that, except for texture of the surface soil or of the underlying sub- stratum, are similar in differentiating characteristics and in arrangement in the soil profile. Among these charac- teristics are color, texture, structure, reaction, consis- tence, and mineral and chemical composition. Soil formation By Donald J. Murray, soil scientist, Soil Conservation Service. This section describes the five major factors of soil formation and explains how these factors affect the soils of the Rifle Area. Soil is a naturally occuring body at the surface of the earth. Its characteristics result from action of the envi- ronment on geologic parent material. The characteristics of the soil at any given point are determined by the interaction of parent material, climate, relief, living organ- isms, and time. The soil differs from place to place, depending on the maturity and intensity of the factors that controlled its development. /Parent material The soils of the Rifle Area formed in many types of parent material. The area is part of the White River uplift with a major reverse fault (the Grand Hogback) bisecting the area in a northwesterly direction. The combination of faulting, thrusting, and normal erosion has profoundly affected the materials available for soil formation. Sever- al different geologic formations are exposed in the Rifle Area. The northwestern part of the survey area is dominated by the Roan Plateau. This plateau consists of the Uinta Formation of the Eocene period. This formation consists of semiconsolidated shales that contain significant amounts of oil shale. These shales are easily weathered and produce loamy soils. Northwater and Roan soils are deep and contain many channery fragments in the sub- soil. Both soils are on ridges and mountainsides. Para- chute soils are moderately deep and are on ridges and concave mountainsides. Irigul and Starman soils are very channery throughout, are shallow to bedrock, and are on ridge crests. Silas soils are on bottom land in narrow mountain valleys and are deep, dark colored and gener- ally loamy. South of the Roan Plateau and west of the Grand Hogback, the Wasatch Formation of Paleocene age dominates the landscape. This formation underlies the Uinta Formation. The area is characterized by gently to moderately sloping valleys and fans draining into the Colorado River. Near Battlement Mesa, in the southwest corner of the survey area, are many small mesa rem- nants underlain by basaltic cobbles that are commonly covered by eolian material. Soils that formed from Wa- satch shale are generally loamy to silty or clayey. Arvada and Heldt soils are generally clay to silty clay and are on gently sloping to strongly sloping alluvial fans and ter- races. Cushman and Lazear soils are on hilly to very steep mountainsides and are generally loam to stony loam. Cushman soils are moderately deep and concave. Lazear soils are shallow and are on the more convex parts of the landscape and mesa breaks. Dollard soils are associated with Rock outcrop and formed in clayey residuum. They are moderately deep and are on moder- ately steep to steep hills and mountainsides. Ildefonso soils are deep and formed in basaltic alluvium on sides of foothills and mesas. Typically, they range from stony loam to very stony loam. On the mesa tops, eolian de- posits of calcareous loess are common. Vale and Potts RIFLE AREA, COLORADO 41)/oils formed in these deposits and are generally loam to silty clay loam or silt loam. In the southwestern part of the survey area are the remnants of a basalt flow from the Battlement Mesa area. In this area, a basalt cap covered or covers the Wasatch shale. Cochetopa and Jerry soils formed in alluvium derived from basalt and shale and range from stony loam to stony clay loam and stony clay. Buckton and Inchau soils formed in shale residuum, are shallow and moderately deep over shale, and range from chan- nery loam to clay loam or gravelly clay loam. The Grand Hogback is composed primarily of Mesa Verde sandstone and shale of the Upper Cretaceous period. The Williams Fork and Iles members of this for- mation are dominant, along with some of the lower part of the Mesa Verde group such as Mancos shale. Asca- lon and Pena soils are deep and formed in alluvium derived from sandstone on sloping fans and valley sides. They range from fine sandy loam or stony loam to sandy clay loam or stony sandy loam. Lamphier soils are deep, dark soils that formed in residuum from sandstone and shale on steep fans and mountainsides. Typically, they are loamy throughout. Cimarron and Tanna soils are deep and moderately deep and formed in dark shale on mountainsides. They range from loam or silty clay loam to silty clay loam or silty clay. East of the Grand Hogback around Glenwood Springs, the area is dominated by Maroon sandstone of the Per- mian epoch. Arle and Ansari soils are moderately deep and shallow and formed in red sandstone on sloping fans and mountainsides. They range from loam or stony loam to very stony loam. Detra and Chilton soils are deep and formed in red sandstone on rolling fans and valley sides. They range from fine sandy loam or chan- nery loam to fine sandy clay loam or channery sandy loam. The Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers are the major drainageways in the Area and the chief sources of allu- vium. Atencio and Azeltine soils formed in red alluvium along the Roaring Fork River. They are deep and are sandy loam or gravelly sandy clay loam over gravel and cobbles. Olney and Kim soils formed in alluvium from the Colorado River around Rifle and Silt. These soils are deep and range from loam to sandy clay loam or fine sandy loam. • Climate The climate of the Rifle Area varies widely with the difference in elevation. As elevation increases, precipita- tion increases and temperature decreases. Through its influence on vegetation, the rate of biologi- cal activity, and the physical and chemical weathering of parent material, climate has been very important in the development of soils of this area. The amount of precipi- tation and the variation in temperature contribute to the 73 accumulation of organic matter, the physical movement of substances, and rates of chemical processes. Grand Valley, in the western part of the survey area, is along the Colorado River at an elevation of 4,950 feet. The average annual precipitation there ranges from 10 to 12 inches, and the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F. Because of the warm temperatures and the small amount of moisture, the soils of this area tend to have small amounts of organic matter, light color, and a high concentration of salts and calcium carbonate at or near the surface. Sunlight Peak is the highest point in the survey area, 10,600 feet. Precipitation ranges from 20 to 24 inches, and the average annual air temperature is about 36 degrees F. The soils of this area are characterized by large amounts of organic matter, dark color, and a gen- erally leached condition of salts and carbonates. Plants and animals Plants, micro-organisms, and earthworms and other animals on or in the soil influence soil formation. The kinds of plants and animals at any place are controlled by temperature and moisture and by the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil. The native vegetation on this area ranges from salt - tolerant grasses and shrubs along the Colorado River to mixed grasses and shrubs on the uplands and mesas to deciduous and coniferous woodland in the high moun- tains. Communities of grasses and shrubs are the most extensive types and have had the greatest affect on soil formation. Plant roots provide aeration and permeability to the soil. When organic matter decays, it supplies nutri- ents to the soil and further enhances plant growth. Soils under conifers at the higher elevations tend to be more acid than those under deciduous trees. There also has been some translocation of clays and organic com- pounds. Animals affect the soils of this area somewhat less than plants do. Some mixing by rodents and earthworms is common in all soils but has not resulted in any drastic changes in soil characteristics. Worm casts are common in more moist soils, and ants have caused some mound- ing. Overgrazing by livestock and wildlife is currently af- fecting soil formation. Relief Major differences in elevation cause differences in cli- mate which account for significant variations in soil for- mation. Relief also influences soil formation by its control of runoff. Distinct differences in relief are associated with relatively minor differences in slope, landform, and aspect within a given landscape. In dry areas, a slight difference in moisture supply will mean a difference in vegetation and changes in the soil formation process. A soil that formed in depressions, • • • • C. Vegetation The vegetation of the area is primarily sparse sagebrush and native forbs and grasses. There are some willows and wetland species along Dry Hollow Creek. A few continuous stands of junipers, as delineated on the Preliminary Plan Map, are in proposed Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11. There are scattered juniper trees elsewhere. The vegetation is further described in the preceding section on soils. D. Wildlife A description of wildlife habitation, including ranges, is being prepared by someone else. 4:80 DRAINAGE PLAN Dry Hollow Creek, as shown on the Preliminary Plan Map, is the only permanently flowing stream within or affected by the proposed Sierra Bluffs Subdivision. It has a drainage area of approximately 6200 acres at the point where it crosses the proposed Road Easement C at the extreme northwest corner of proposed Lot 7. From this point, the drainage basin extends to the south for approximately six miles to an elevation of 6400 at the most remote point. The maximum width of the basin is 2.4 miles with the average width being 1.6 miles. About two-thirds of the basin is irrigated agricultural lands with numerous ditches. There is some water diverted into this basin from the east and also some water leaves the basin to the west via ditch. The expected tributary flow for Dry Hollow Creek at this point is 270 c.f.s. for the 25 year flood, and 400 c.f.s. for the 100 year flood. A 72" diameter culvert is proposed to be installed at this location. A low point or sag in the profile of the road should be provided and protected with riprap so that discharges exceeding the capacity of the proposed 72" diameter culvert can be safely passed over the roadway embankment. Sierra Vista Road crosses Dry Hollow Creek approximately 3500 feet south of the crossing for proposed Road Easement C, and just east of Garfield County Road 331. At this point the drainage area for Dry Hollow Creek is approximately 5800 acres and extends to the south for 5.3 miles. The expected tributary flow for Dry Hollow Creek at this point is 250 c.f.s. for the 25 year flood and 380 c.f.s. for the 100 year flood. The existing drainage structure has adequate capacity for the expected 25 year flood. Some minor channel improvements, and protection of the road embankment with riprap, should be provided to insure that the road is not damaged in the event floods exceeding the capacity of the structure are passed over the road.

Mr. Bill Collins Collins Drilling and Pump Service PO Box 0516 Carbondale Co. 81623 June 28, 1995 RE: WELL FOR SIERRA PINYON SUBDIVISION LOT 10 TRACTS A, B & C Dear Bill: This letter is provided as my opinion of the adequacy of the well constructed to serve the Sierra Pinyon Subdivision Lot 10 Tracts A, B & C. The opinion is based on your description of the well and pump test information provided to me by you. In summary, based on the information provided the well appears adequate to serve three single family residences. I recommend that the total area irrigated from the well be limited to 0.5 acres (7,260 square feet per lot) in order to not over stress the well in the summer. The well is located approximately 450 feet horizontally away from Dry Hollow Creek. The ground surface at the well location is approximately 80 feet above Dry Hollow Creek. The well is constructed to a depth of 240' and cased with 20 feet of 7" diameter steel surface casing with the balance of the casing being 5" diameter PVC casing. Three 20 foot sections of factory perforated casing are set in the well each separated by a 20 foot section of blank casing. Perforated sections extend from 240 feet to 220 feet, 200 feet to 180 feet and from 160 feet to 140 feet. The lower 40 feet of the well is reportedly filled with sediment. Additional development of the well may be required in the future if turbidity is high or sediment depth in the well increases. A 48 hour pump test was conducted by Collins Drilling. A 15 gallon per minute (gpm) pump was installed at a depth of 195 feet. At the beginning of the test the static water level was 60 feet below the ground surface. The well was pumped at 15 gpm for 15 minutes, the rate then reduced to 10 gpm until 75 minutes and the rate then reduced to 6 gpm. The balance of the test was run at 6 gpm. The drawdown data is shown on the attached Figure 1. Subsequent to the pump test the well has been reportedly pumped at 6 gpm. Reportedly full recovery to a static level of 60' occurs within 24 hours after pumping. Drawdown reportedly stabilizes at approximately 128 feet when pumped at 6 gpm. The well is permitted as a domestic exempt well located on a tract of 35 or more acres. The permit is #178786. The allowable uses under a domestic exempt permit are in-house water for up to three residences, one acre of lawns and gardens and watering of non-commercial livestock.

Water will be pumped from the well to a 25,000 gallon tank and then distributed to the residences. The peak month water requirements for three residences averages 6.1 gpm based on standard residential water use assumptions and the maximum 1 acre of irrigation allowed under the domestic exempt permit (see attached water requirements). Based on the pump test information provided the well has an apparent safe yield of 5 to 6 gpm. This is slightly less the average peak month demand of 6.1 gpm estimated under maximum utilization of the permit. Given this information the well is adequate to meet the physical water supply requirements of the Sierra Pinyon Subdivision Lot 10 Tracts A, B & C if irrigated acreage is limited to Tess than the 1 acre allowed. I recommend that the acreage be limited to 0.5 acre (7,260 square feet per unit). This will reduce the average demand in the peak usage months to approximately 3.5 gpm, an amount that the well should safely supply. If you have any questions please give me a call.

The operation and management of each individual system would be the responsibility of the property owner. Representative percolation tests within the proposed Sierra Bluffs Subdivision have been scheduled, but have not as yet been done. Locations and results of percolation tests will be available at the Preliminary Plan hearing. The Final Plat will require site specific percolation tests prior to the issuance of an individual sewage disposal permit.

TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION PAGE INTRODUCTION 1 HYDROLOGY 1 DRAINAGE PLAN 1 BASIN AND VICINITY MAP (11" X 17") DRY HOLLOW CREEK BASIN MAP (11" X 17") (See also 24" x 36" Grading and Drainage Plan bound with construction drawings.) APPENDIX, CALCULATIONS • • INTRODUCTION -1- The proposed development consists of subdividing 36.44 acres into 3 lots. It is located within the Dry Hollow Creek drainage, south of Interstate 70 and the Colorado River. The site generally drains to Dry Hollow Creek, which is west of the site. Dry Hollow Creek flows through the northwesterly tip of the property. The site id generally composed of a plateau that steeply drops off toward Dry Hollow creek. The off-site storm runoff affecting most of the project will be generated from the adjacent naturally vegetated land to the east. Even though this off-site runoff is minor, it will be routed to generally follow the historic drainage ways. The drainage for Dry Hollow Creek is derived from runoff south of the project. (See the enclosed Drainage Basin Maps). HYDROLOGY The hydrologic methods for this study are outlined in the Soil Conservation Service publication "Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in Colorado" (1980). Peak flows in this area will be primarily rainfall derived since the whole site is well below 8000 feet in elevation. Therefore, the storm drainage system will be more than adequate to handle spring snowmelt runoff. DRAINAGE PLAN The local drainage basins are shown on the following 1"=300' aerial topographic map and the Dry Hollow Creek basin is shown on the following 1"=50,000" USGS map. The drainage basins affecting the project have been outlined in heavy dashed lines, and the subdivision boundary lines are shown in lighter solid lines. The drainage plan for this filing, which shows the road locations, the lot lines, high and low points for the roads, and culvert locations, is shown on the 24" x 36" sheet entitled "Grading and Drainage Plan" bound with the drawings for this submittal. Calculated flows for the proposed culverts are shown in the Appendix. Calculations were completed for the 25 -year and 100 -year return frequency events. The site consists of 5 subbasins and the major basin for Dry Hollow Creek, as shown on the drainage basin maps. Basin A drains primarily to an irrigation ditch on the southern edge of the property. Basins B through E drain to Dry Hollow Creek. • -2- Natural drainage paths have been left essentially intact. This ensures that, in general, overland flow will follow predictable historic paths. This also decreases the amount of grading necessary for roadways and actual building areas and thus reduces the possibility of erosion. No actual detention is proposed for this development because of the relatively large lot sizes, and the diffuse flows. The increase in flow due to development, when the whole area of the development is considered, would be minor. The impervious area added would most likely be only a few percent of the total area. The diffuse flows would make routing of flows to detention areas difficult and the construction of channels and ponds would disturb more area and cause more erosion than warranted by the benefit gained. In general, erosion control should consist of disturbing as little existing vegetation as possible and, therefore, reclamation of as little area as possible. It is anticipated that areas that must be disturbed will be seeded with a grass mix recommended by the Soil Conservation Service. The floodplain of Dry Hollow Creek in this vicinity has not been formally established. The Floodplain Management Study -Colorado River Tributaries in Garfield County, Colorado, July 1986, U.S. Department of Agriculture, study did not extend upstream to our project area. Therefore, the Garfield County standard setbacks from a stream will apply. \I N N 3 ° X X111 /).7 / (// / 7! t -L1 1 1 \ �� I t if 711/,/ t _.`,. ,N s\v HIGH COUNTRY ENGINEERING, INC. 923 COOPER AVENUE GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 (303) 945-8676 • FAX (303) 945-2555 SIERRA ULOFFS , FILINGI DRAINAGE P ASIN MAF 44/21 /qS HCE Qi -10g3.02 Iw ,, iiV A /') Fairvi w?�. �(. ern - , m 1.

To grant approval for the 75.02 acre tract to be subdivided into 7 single family residential lots would cause too much impact: 1. On the underground water supply, on the south side of the Colorado River it has never been easy to find good water supply. 2. The area is year round open space for many species of wild life ie: deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes and etc., when people start taking their space they are going to look for new homes and adapting so they can survive - so they become a "nuisance". 3. The county roads are not engineered for heavy traffic, causing safety issues, driving any of the county roads that are posted for 35 mph speed limit any morning or evening will show the concern of the roads capabilities to handel more traffic. Also the county is having budget problems providing services without further growth. To restate our reasons not to give approval for Sierra Bluffs Subdivision of 7 single family lots is that it would make too much of an impact on underground water, wildlife, and services. We need to have a "time out" as far as more subdivisions are concerned, as it would appear that housing does not pay enough taxes to support the services they require/want.

(1) The geologic conditions in this subdivision area are essentially identical to those in the Sierra Pinion subdivision to the north of this one, the proposal for which we reviewed in our correspondence of March 8 (copy attached). The recommendations made in the earlier review apply equally to this parcel as the lot sizes are comparable as are the geologic constraints to development. (2) The significant geology -related differences between this proposed subdivision and the comparison case are mostly related to slope and slope (in)stability. Parts of proposed Lots 5, 6, and 7, are very steep and will present difficult access and/or construction problems for these lots. Construction costs are apt to be relatively high for these lots compared to those for other lots in this subdivision or the comparison case.

The following comments summarize our findings. (1) The bedrock underlying this site is entirely the Wasatch Formation; the Wasatch primarily of sandstones and shales which are highly erodible and, on steeper slopes, subject to mass slope movements such as translational landslides, slumps, and rockfalls,. In place exposures of the Wasatch are best seen on Weible Peak immediately to the northeast of this parcel. On gentler slopes, deposits consisting of materials eroded from the Wasatch occur and have much the same properties as the bedrock. Some of the more gently sloping areas are immediately underlain by thin remnants of a loess sheet (wind -deposited silt) and remnant alluvial -gravel clasts which originated in the ancestral Colorado River drainage occur somewhat randomly over the parcel. (2) Considering the geologic conditions indicated and the lot sizes proposed this parcel can be reasonably subdivided as planned. However, we recommend that each lot purchaser have his lot investigated by a qualified engineering geologist prior to siting of improvements. The factors of amount of slope, slope instability, drainage and erosion and deposition of sediment will need to be very carefully considered in overall site planning. Moreover, the physical properties of the Wasatch will necessitate that an individual, she specific soils and foundation be done for each structure. This applies to manufactured housing units such as those which are common in nearby subdivisions as well as conventional, heavier and more complicated on -site -built structures. These recommendations are supported also in statements made in 4:70 on Page 4 of the submitted materials: Supplemental Information: Geology, Soil, Vegetation, and Wildlife.

In summmary, we believe that this is a reasonable subdivision proposal only if the recommendations made above are followed and made conditions of your approval of it. 8' cerely Ames M.

Practical Description: Located approximately two (2) miles south of the Town of Silt, off of County Road 331. Said Preliminary Plan is to allow the Petitioner to subdivide the following: A 36.44 acre tract into three (3) single family residential lots on the above described property. All persons affected by the proposed Subdivision are invited to appear and state their views, protests or objections. If you cannot appear personally at such meeting, then you are urged to state your views by letter particularly if you have objections to such Preliminary Plan as the Planning Commission will give consideration to the comments of surrounding property owners and others affected in deciding whether to grant or deny the request for Preliminary Plan. This Preliminary Plan application may be reviewed at the office of the Planning Department located at Garfield County Courthouse, 109 8th Street, Suite 303, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. That public hearing on the application for the above Preliminary Plan has been set for the 3rd day of July, 1995, at the hour of 11:00 a.m., at the Garfield County Courthouse, Suite 301,109 8th Street, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Planning Department Garfield County March 18, 1995 Planning Department of Garfield County 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: Sierra Bluffs Subdivision We are not in favor of granting a Preliminary Plan approval for Sierra Bluffs Subdivision. To grant approval for the 75.02 acre tract to be subdivided into 7 single family residential lots would cause too much impact: 1. On the underground water supply, on the south side of the Colorado River it has never been easy to find good water supply. 2. The area is year round open space for many species of wild life ie: deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes and etc., when people start taking their space they are going to look for new homes and adapting so they can survive - so they become a "nuisance". 3. The county roads are not engineered for heavy traffic, causing safety issues, driving any of the county roads that are posted for 35 mph speed limit any morning or evening will show the concern of the roads capabilities to handel more traffic. Also the county is having budget problems providing services without further growth. To restate our reasons not to give approval for Sierra Bluffs Subdivision of 7 single family lots is that it would make too much of an impact on underground water, wildlife, and services. We need to have a "time out" as far as more subdivisions are concerned, as it would appear that housing does not pay enough taxes to support the services they require/want.

As the unincorporated area around Silt continues to grow and be subdivided, it is important that the county roads leading to these homesites be upgraded or at the very least have plans in place for future upgrades. Continued growth both north and south of Silt should require road plans that will address current and future growth in those areas. Development fees for road improvements or special taxing districts might possibly be a couple of methods that could be utilized to help defray the cost of future improvements and continued maintenance of what appears to be substandard roads already. The Town would also hope that the County encourage road development within the subdivisions that will be within, if not better than, the current county road standards as to percent of grade. Emergency access to rural homesites is of utmost importance to our fire, police and ambulance departments. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on these matters.

BOX 1302 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 August 29, 1994 Dave Michaelson Garfield County Planning Department 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Dear Sir, • At the regular monthly meeting of the South Side Soil Conservation District, the Board reviewed the application and plan for the Sierra Bluffs Subdivision and have the following comments and concerns about the project. Any cuts for roads or construction should be revegetated to prevent erosion. Weed free seed and mulch should be used for any reseeding of the area. Monitoring of all seeding should be done to see if the grass is establishing or if weeds are becoming a problem. Reseeding or weed control practices should be implemented if a problem is noticed. The board is always concerned about animal control in an area where there is the potential for conflict between wildlife or domestic livestock and dogs from the subdivision. Dogs running in packs of two or more can maim or kill domestic livestock and wildlife. The District recommends animal control regulations be adopted in the covenants for the subdivision and that they be enforced.

Simpson State Engineer Thank you for referral for the Sierra Bluffs Subdivision, a resubdivision of Lots 10 and 11, Sierra Vista Ranch located approximately two miles south of the Town of Silt. The applicant is requesting to split two 35 or more acre parcels into six lots. The proposed source of water is one common well per three lots. A review of our records indicates that permits 178786 and 178787, copies attached, were issued for domestic use on parcels 10 and 11, respectively. Each permit allows water from the well to be used for up to three single family dwellings, the irrigation of not more than one (1) acre of home gardens and lawns and the watering of domestic animals. The applicant proposes to divide Lots 10 and 11 into three (3) lots each. Pursuant to §30-28-136(1)(h)(I), C.R.S., the State Engineer's Office offers the following opinion for your consideration regarding material injury to decreed water rights and the adequacy of the proposed water supply: Since valid permits are in place for use at up to six (6) single family dwellings, there appears to be an adequate water supply plan for the development.

Since this is a new subdivision and currently serves less than the 25 persons and/or 15 taps, it's classified as a private system and does not require Division review and approval. However, at such time the above limits are surpassed, the following items must be addressed prior to approval by the Division: ► The enclosed plans review form and the chemical analysis reporting form must be completed and returned to the Division. • The wells must have a meter to totalize the flow. ► No service taps may exist between the water lines from the wells to the storage tank. This is necessary for the thirty minutes of detention time after chlorination. Due to the shallow ground water level and the close proximity to surface water, a microscopic particulate analysis must be performed on each well. Enclosed is information on the sample collection and laboratories available to analyze the sample. ► A 4 -foot diameter concrete pad must be around the well, and the ground surface should be sloping away from the well. Review of this project is based only on engineering design to provide safe potable water, as required by the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations. If you have any questions please call.
