2.0 ADJACENT PROPERTY MINERAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP
2.1 Adjacent Property Owners
Properties located within a 1,500-ft radius of 552 County Road 352, Rifle, Colorado, 81650 (the Site) are shown in
Figure 2; property ownership information for these properties is provided in Table 1.
2.2 Mineral Estate Ownership
Section 4-101(E)(1)(b)(4) of the Garfield Land Use and Development Code requires written notice to owners of
mineral interests in the subject property ass such owners can be identified through the records in the office of the
Clerk and Recorder or Assessor, or through other means.
The property owner Strategic One Financial identified the following mineral estate owners of the property:
Strategic One Financial
Jason Amaya
Wendell Weaver
On behalf of Stericycle, Golder called the Garfield County Assessor’s office on June 7, 2018 to determine whether
mineral interests of the property have been filed. The Assessor’s office no longer documents the mineral rights
ownership for its tax roll records unless ownership is provided by the property owner. There are only a limited
number of mineral owners who have provided such information to the Assessor’s office on their properties. The
Assessor’s office confirmed that no mineral rights have been filed for tax roll records for the subject property.
Golder also visited the Garfield County Clear and Recorder’s office on August 16, 2018 to search the County
historical records to confirm mineral rights ownership of the property. A copy of the historical mineral deeds and
mineral royalty agreements for the property are provided in Appendix B. These records confirm the mineral estate
owners listed above and provided by the property owner; mineral estate owners of the property are also listed in
the Title Commitment provided in Appendix A-5.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Stericycle is a business services company that specializes in protecting people and reducing risk. Stericycle
works with companies in a wide array of industries, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, to improve
employee and customer safety, ensure regulatory compliance, safely dispose of regulated materials, and manage
corporate and personal risk. This Land Use Change Permit Application provides the information required by
Articles 4-203 and 7-1001 of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code for a land use change for
Stericycle’s proposed Infectious Waste Transfer Facility in Rifle, Colorado (Stericycle Rifle facility or Facility).
3.1 Statement of Need
The Stericycle Rifle facility is necessary to provide for the temporary storage and transfer of regulated medical waste
(RMW), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) waste (regulated garbage), and non-hazardous
pharmaceutical waste in the region.
3.2 Site Description
The Facility will be located at 552 County Road 352, Rifle, Colorado, 81650 (the Site), on a parcel of land owned
by Strategic One Financial, in the NW quarter of Section 19, Township 26 South, Range 92 West, Garfield
County, Colorado. The Site does not have frontage to County Road 352 but is rather accessed via an unnamed
gravel access road that runs from County Road 352 (Garfield County Airport Road) along the western boundary of
the Site to the Site entrance in the southwest corner of the Site.
The Site is approximately 8.4 acres in size and is currently zoned as an Industrial property. The Site contains an
existing 2,400 square foot metal building (identified as Metal Building G), a care-taker’s residence, and various
undeveloped areas used for material staging and/or vehicular parking.
Stericycle obtained a lease from Strategic One Financial for the southern half of Metal Building G and adjacent
parking for route trucks and transfer trailers. No additional development of the Site is planned as part of
Stericycle’s use. A Site Vicinity Map and Site Plan are provided in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.
3.3 Proposed Site Operations
The Stericycle Rifle facility will be an unmanned facility that will be used to temporarily store and transfer regulated
medical waste (RMW), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) waste (regulated garbage), and
non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste. Transfers will be conducted in a truck-to-truck manner from a smaller route
truck to a larger transfer trailer staged at the Site. RMW and APHIS wastes to be transferred at the Facility will
ultimately be transported to the Stericycle Dacono autoclave steam sterilization facility for treatment prior to eventual
disposal. The Rifle facility is proposed to operate up to 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, as needed,
to manage and process incoming medical waste. Normal business hours are expected to be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
3.3.1 Waste Transfer
Stericycle employees utilizing the Rifle facility will include drivers of route trucks and transfer trucks. Route drivers
will run a designated route, leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon. Each driver will travel from site to
site collecting full RMW containers and replacing them with an empty RMW container. Upon completion of their
route, drivers will return to the Rifle facility to transfer their waste to the transfer trailers. Acceptable waste entering
the Facility will be checked prior to transfer for appropriate tracking documentation. It will then be off-loaded directly
from the route vehicles to the refrigerated transfer trailers using dock plates between the trucks. Proper personal
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

protective equipment (PPE) will be employed during transfer activities. Stericycle-approved waste handling
equipment and practices may be changed based on operational efficiency and/or equipment upgrades.
Empty containers will be reloaded onto the route truck for the next day’s routes. The empty route truck will be parked
at the Site overnight. When the transfer trailer is full, the loads will be strapped down and the transport trailer driven
to the Stericycle Dacono Autoclave facility for processing.
In order to provide these transfer services, the following vehicles will be staged at the Site:
One (1) 26-ft enclosed route truck that will park at the Site overnight and when not in use. The route truck will
regularly leave and return once per day, Monday through Friday. Route drivers may be required to leave and
return to the Rifle Facility more than once per day due to increased waste levels.
One (1) 53-ft transfer trailer will be staged in the parking area to the east of Metal Building G as shown in
Figure 3.
Trained personnel will always be present during transfer operations. Route vehicles and trailers are labeled in
accordance with transportation requirements regarding the type of waste being transported or handled.
Unauthorized persons will not be allowed in areas where waste is stored.
3.3.2 Waste Storage
Waste will be stored in the transfer trailer on-Site in accordance with applicable regulations. All waste storage will
be in a manner and location that prevents leakage, maintains the integrity of the packaging at all times, and
provides protection from water, precipitation, and wind. Route trucks and refrigerated transfer trailers are
constructed of impervious, corrosion-resistant materials that can be cleaned and disinfected. Route trucks and
transfer trailers will be parked/staged in areas that provide adequate drainage and are free of standing water.
Once a transfer trailer is filled, it will be hauled to a treatment facility within 48 hours. Medical waste will be stored
on-Site for no longer than 72 hours. If odors or nuisance conditions develop, the environment within the transfer
trailer will be refrigerated to 45°F or less or the waste will be transported off-site to an approved treatment or
disposal facility. No waste materials will be stored outside of the trailers. Transfer trailers will be locked or sealed
when loaded with waste away from the Facility and unattended. All transfer trailers and route vehicles will be
locked and sealed when the Facility is vacated.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

4.0 GRADING AND DRAINAGE PLAN
Stericycle is requesting a waiver from a detailed Grading and Drainage Plan as Stericycle’s proposed occupancy
of the Site will involve no additional development or grading changes to the Site. Pertinent grading and drainage
information of the existing Site conditions is summarized herein. A Site Map is provided in Figure 3.
The Site is currently used for vehicular parking and material staging. Disturbed areas of the Site appear to
have been stripped of vegetation and topsoil, levelled, and stabilized with a gravelly base surfacing. The Site
is adequately graded such that drainage occurs away from the buildings towards the perimeter.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory shows two riverine wetland drainage courses
running across the Site as shown in Figure 1. However, it appears that the development of the Site as an
industrial property has altered the topography and corresponding surface water flow patterns across the Site
such that these historical surface water drainage courses no longer exist.
No structural drainage features exist on the Site. Surface water runoff occurs primarily as sheet flow,
draining away from Site structures and discharging primarily to the historic riverine drainage courses along
the southern and eastern property boundary.
No changes to existing Site development are proposed as part of Stericycle’s propose occupancy.
Stericycle’s use will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers, route truck parking, and transfer trailer
staging in previously disturbed areas of the Site.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

5.0 LANDSCAPE PLAN
Stericycle is requesting a waiver from a Landscape Plan as Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not
impact existing vegetation and landscaping conditions at the Site. Pertinent information on existing Site
landscaping conditions is summarized herein. An aerial photograph of the Site is provided as the base map of the
Site Map provided in Figure 3.
The Site does not contain landscaping. Areas of the Site previously undisturbed contain natural grasses.
No changes to existing Site development are proposed as part of Stericycle’s proposed occupancy.
Stericycle’s use will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers, route truck parking, and transfer trailer
staging in previously disturbed areas of the Site.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

6.0 IMPACT ANALYSIS
6.1 Adjacent Land Use
Existing uses of adjacent and neighboring properties located within a 1,500 ft radius of the property are
summarized in Table 1.
6.2 Site Features
The approximately 8.4-acre site is largely undeveloped and will remain as-is throughout Stericycle’s proposed
occupancy. The Site contains no natural water storage or structural stormwater conveyance features. The Site is
generally level with modest grade changes at less than 5% slope.
As previously discussed in Section 4, the development of the property as an industrial site has altered the
topography and corresponding surface water flow patterns across the Site such that historical surface water
drainage courses no longer exist. The Site is not subject to flooding or high groundwater (NRCS 2018).
Undisturbed areas of the Site not currently impacted by vehicular traffic or used for material staging contain
natural grasses. Stericycle’s proposed occupancy will not impact these areas.
Average annual rainfall at the Site is less than 12 inches. The average high temperature is 64.3° Fahrenheit and
the average low temperature is 31.2° Fahrenheit (WRCC 2018).
6.3 Soil Characteristics
Natural soil types at the Site were identified through the National Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) Web
Soil Survey. The Custom Soil Resource Report for the Rifle Area, provided in Appendix C, shows that the surficial
soils at the Site consist of Potts Loam, described as well-drained with no flooding or ponding potential. The
development of the property as an industrial site appears to have involved the placement of a gravelly base
course on the native ground surface to provide a stable base for vehicular traffic.
6.4 Geology and Hazard
The surficial geology in the vicinity of the Site consists of colluvial sheetwash deposits comprised primarily of
pebbly, silty sand and sandy silt that are derived chiefly from weathered bedrock and loess by sheet erosion. The
unit is common on gentle to moderate slopes in areas underlain mostly by the Mancos Shale, Wasatch Formation,
and loess (Shroba 2001).
Low-lying areas of colluvial sheetwash deposits are reportedly prone to periodic sheet flooding (Shroba 2001).
However, as previously discussed, the surficial soils at the Site pose no threat to flooding or ponding potential and
the presence of the historic riverine drainage courses within the surrounding undisturbed land indicates that sheet
flooding from off-site runoff is not likely. No other geologic hazards are known or expected to impact operations at
the Site.
6.5 Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge Areas
The requirement for evaluation of groundwater and aquifer recharge areas is not applicable to Stericycle’s
proposed occupancy of the Site as no waste is proposed to be disposed of on-Site and no sewage effluent or
other waters will be discharged, stored, or diverted as part of the proposed Site usage.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378
8
6.6 Environmental Impacts
As previously discussed, Stericycle’s use of the property will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers,
route truck parking, and transfer trailer staging in disturbed areas of the site. All Stericycle Site operations will be
confined to the disturbed area immediately to the east of Metal Building G as shown in Figure 3.
Waste to be transferred and stored on-Site will be packaged and stored in accordance with applicable regulations,
in a manner and location that prevents leakage and maintains the integrity of the packaging at all times, and also
provides protection from water, precipitation, and wind. Storage units, consisting of route trucks and refrigerated
transfer trailers, are constructed of impervious, corrosion-resistant materials that can be cleaned and disinfected.
Trailers that are being loaded or unloaded will be parked in areas that provides adequate drainage and are free of
standing water. Therefore, Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site is not expected to impact local flora or
fauna, designated environmental resources, or wildlife and domestic animals nor create a radiation hazard.
6.7 Nuisance
Stericycle implements standard operating procedures and good housekeeping practices at all their sites, including
personnel training, careful packaging, and the proper handling of waste, to prevent and control potential problems
from fugitive dust, litter, odors, leaking or broken containers, equipment malfunctions, and disease vectors. The
systematic approach to waste handling, including storage and handling specifications and policies, inhibits vector
exposure to the waste materials. No waste materials will be stored outside of the locked and sealed trailers or
route trucks.
Facility cleanliness will be maintained on a continual basis. Truck and trailer floors are kept clear of debris, with all
spills disinfected as appropriate and cleaned in a timely manner using a readily-accessible spill kit. Detailed spill
response procedures are provided in the Emergency Response and Contingency Plan, a copy of which is
provided in Appendix D.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Sites
and Facilities, 6 CCR 1007-2, Part 1, Section 13.8 stipulates that waste transfer and storage facilities storing
waste for longer than 72 hours are required to conduct daily inspections. The Stericycle Rifle facility does not
expect to store waste for longer than 72 hours.
The Facility will conduct weekly inspections to ensure the quality of the nuisance controls described above. The
inspections will be performed within the Facility limits to check for disease vectors, leaks, odors, dust, equipment
malfunction, and any other site condition that may cause nuisance conditions to occur. Any problems identified
during these inspections will be corrected immediately or as soon as practical, depending on the situation. Hard
copy versions of each inspection checklist, including any necessary corrective actions taken, will be documented
and kept on-Site for a period of at least three months. An example inspection checklist is provided in Appendix E.
Inspection records will include, at a minimum, the following information:
Date and time of inspection
Printed name and signature of inspector
Comments, including observations of any nuisance conditions observed
Corrective actions recommended or performed
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

6.8 Hours of Operation
The Rifle Facility is proposed to operate up to 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, as needed, to
manage and process incoming medical waste. Normal business hours involving activity at the Site are expected to
be between 5:00 am and 6:00 am and 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

11
8.0 BASIC TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The information presented herein is provided to meet the requirements of a Basic Traffic Analysis for the
proposed land use change.
8.1 Traffic Maps
A Traffic Analysis Map is provided in Figure 4. Information provided in the Traffic Analysis Map includes:
Proposed truck route from Interstate 70 (I-70) to the Site. Note that trucks are prohibited west of the Site
along County Road 352, necessitating this route around the Rifle Garfield County Airport rather than through
the commercial corridor along Airport Road west of the Airport.
Existing Site access points and Site entrance
All County roads within a 1-mile radius of the Site
The nearest intersections with County, State, and Federal highways that will receive additional traffic from
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site
An Average Daily Traffic Count Map is provided in Figure 5. Existing daily traffic counts were provided by Garfield
County Road and Bridge from 2014 and are shown along the proposed truck route from Interstate 70 (I-70) to the
Site.
8.2 Existing Site Traffic Information
The Site is accessed via an unnamed gravel access road that runs from County Road 352 (Garfield County
Airport Road) along the western boundary of the Site to the Site entrance at the southwest corner of the property.
The existing intersection of the unnamed gravel access road and County Road 352 provides an approximately 6-ft
deep, 70-foot wide concrete apron to the 18-ft wide unnamed gravel roadway, with an approximate 25-ft turning
radius to/from the west and 50-ft turning radius to/from the east, where the majority of Stericycle’s truck traffic will
be approaching.
As summarized on Figure 5, existing daily traffic counts (2014) along the primary truck route from I-70 to the Site
are as follows:
County Road 315 – 803 trips per day
County Road 352 (Garfield County Airport Road) – 977 trips per day
8.3 Proposed Use Traffic Information
Stericycle’s use of the site will involve the following additional traffic counts to/from the Site:
One Stericycle route truck driver will arrive at the Site in their personal vehicle between 5:00 am and 6:00 am
One route truck will depart the Site between 5:00 am and 6:00 am along the truck route shown in Figure 4
The route truck will return from its routes between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm along the truck route shown in Figure
4. The route driver may be required to leave and return to the Site more than once per day due to increased
waste levels.
The Stericycle route truck driver will depart the Site in their personal vehicles around 5:00 pm
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378
12
One (1) transfer trailer will be hauled off-site 2 times per week along the truck route shown in Figure 4
In total, Stericycle anticipates that the use of the Site as the Infectious Waste Transfer Facility will result in an
average daily increase of up to 7 additional trips along the access route from I-70, or an increase of less than 1%
from existing (2014) traffic counts.
8.4 Construction Phases
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378

11.9 Interference, Nuisance, and Hazard
Properties located within a 200-ft radius of the site are shown in Figure 2. Existing uses of these properties are
summarized in Table 1. Stericycle’s use of the Site as an Infectious Waste Transfer Facility is not expected to
create interference, nuisance, or hazard conditions that may interfere with the existing uses of the surrounding
properties.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378
17
12.0 ARTICLE 7 STANDARDS
12.1 Division 1 - General Approval Standards
12.1.1 Zone District Use Regulations
The Site is currently zoned as an industrial property, an appropriate zoning classification for Sterycycle’s
proposed land use.
12.1.2 Comprehensive Plan and Intergovermental Agreements
The proposed land use supports the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan by providing medical disposal services
to the growing population base. Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site and proposed land use change does
not involve any intergovernmental agreements.
12.1.3 Compatibility
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction.
Therefore, the current nature, scale, and intensity of development at the site will remain unchanged and
compatible with adjacent land uses.
12.1.4 Source of Water
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not result in additional water demand at the Site, as no planned
water use is expected to support Stericycle operations.
12.1.5 Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy will not result in additional wastewater volume generation or management at the
Site, as no planned water use or wastewater facilities are expected to support Stericycle operations. Stericycle
employees will be responsible for providing bottled drinking water in their route truck and while on-Site during
waste transfer activities. Stericycle plans to provide portable sanitation units for on-Site employees. Sanitation
units will be maintained on a weekly basis.
12.1.6 Public Utilities
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction. Current
public utilities are considered adequate for Steryicycle’s planned operational activities.
12.1.7 Access and Roadways
Current Site access is established from County Road 352. Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not
require any additional development of existing access and/or roadways. Moreover, existing access and roadways
are adequate for Stericycle’s planned use of the Site.
12.1.8 Use of Land Subject to Natural Hazards
The surficial geology in the vicinity of the Site consists of colluvial sheetwash deposits. Low-lying areas of colluvial
sheetwash deposits are reportedly prone to periodic sheet flooding (Shroba 2001). However, the surficial soils at
the Site pose no threat to flooding or ponding potential and the presence of the historic riverine drainage courses
within the surrounding undisturbed land indicates that sheet flooding from off-site runoff is not likely. No other
geologic or natural hazards are known or expected to impact operations at the Site.
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378
18
12.1.9 Fire Protection
The existing 2,400 square foot metal building at the Site is equipped with a fire alarm system that automatically
activates in case of fire. This system is designed and maintained in accordance with local and state fire code.
Additionally, fire extinguishers are provided by the property lessor. Stericycle personnel are trained in fire
extinguisher use.
12.2 Division 2 - General Resource Protection Standards
12.2.1 Agricultural Lands
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction.
Therefore, Stericycle’s operations will not pose any adverse effects to any surrounding agricultural land or
operations.
12.2.2 Wildlife Habitat Areas
The Site is not located within close proximity to any Colorado Parks and Wildlife habitat areas.
12.2.3 Protection of Waterbodies
The Site is not located within close proximity to any permanent or seasonal waterbodies.
12.2.4 Drainage and Erosion
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction. As
previously discussed, Stericycle’s use of the property will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers, route
truck parking, and transfer trailer staging in areas of the site stabilized with a gravelly base surfacing. Therefore,
Stericycle’s proposed operations are not expected to impact existing drainage features or structures or cause
additional erosion of the site.
12.2.5 Environmental Quality
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction. As
previously discussed, Stericycle’s use of the property will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers, route
truck parking, and transfer trailer staging in areas of the site stabilized with a gravelly base surfacing. Waste to be
transferred and stored on-Site will be packaged and stored in accordance with applicable regulations, in a manner
and location that prevents leakage and maintains the integrity of the packaging at all times, and also provides
protection from water, precipitation, and wind.
12.2.6 Wildlife Hazards
Waste to be transferred and stored on-Site will be packaged and stored in accordance with applicable regulations,
in a manner and location that prevents leakage and maintains the integrity of the packaging at all times, and also
provides protection from water, precipitation, and wind. Transfer trailers are constructed of impervious, corrosion-
resistant materials that can be cleaned and disinfected. Trailers that are being loaded or unloaded will be parked
in areas that provide adequate drainage and are free of standing water. Therefore, Stericycle’s proposed
operations are not expected to pose hazards to local wildlife.
12.2.7 Natural and Geologic Hazards
The surficial geology in the vicinity of the Site consists of colluvial sheetwash deposits. Low-lying areas of colluvial
sheetwash deposits are reportedly prone to periodic sheet flooding (Shroba 2001). However, the surficial soils at
the Site pose no threat to flooding or ponding potential and the presence of the historic riverine drainage courses
Revision 1 – August 2018 1775378
19
within the surrounding undisturbed land indicates that sheet flooding from off-site runoff is not likely. Stericycle’s
proposed operations are not expected to affect any potentially-existing geologic or natural hazards.
12.2.8 Reclamation
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will be limited to direct truck-to-truck waste transfers, route truck
parking, and transfer trailer staging in previously disturbed areas of the Site. Therefore, no specific reclamation of
the site is anticipated to be required. Stericycle will address any housekeeping items identified by the property
owner, as necessary, in order to return the site to its pre-existing industrial condition.
12.3 Division 3. Site Planning and Development Standards
12.3.1 Compatible Design
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction beyond
the existing development at the Site. It is assumed that the existing development of the Site was previously
determined to be compatibile.
12.3.2 Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site and proposed Site operations do not fall under any of the use types
requiring off-site street parking. Further, Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will be limited to direct truck-
to-truck waste transfers; therefore, requirements for transfer or loading berths/space to the existing building are
not applicable. Sufficient parking is available throughout the gravelly base surfaced areas of the Site.
12.3.3 Landscaping Standards
The Site does not contain landscaping. Areas of the Site previously undisturbed contain natural grasses.
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will be limited to previously disturbed areas of the Site that do not
contain landscaping or natural grasses.
12.3.4 Lighting Standards
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction beyond
the existing development at the Site. It is assumed that the existing lighting at the Site was determined to be
complaint with County lighting standards.
12.3.5 Snow Storage Standards
Stericycle’s proposed occupancy of the Site will not require any additional development or construction beyond
the existing development at the Site. It is assumed that the existing snot storage areas at the Site were previously
determined to be adequate.
12.3.6 Trail and Walkway Standards
Trail and walkway standards are not applicable to the Site.

settlement service that is in conjunction with the issuance of an owner's policy of title insurance, it shall update the title
commitment from the date of issuance to be as reasonably close to the time of closing as permitted by the real estate records. Such
update shall include all impairments of record at the time of closing or as close thereto as permitted by the real estate records. The
title insurance company shall be responsible to the proposed insured(s) subject to the terms and conditions of the title
commitment, other than the effective date of the title commitment, for all undisclosed matters that appear of record prior to the

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

employees, and that EPA, state, and local authorities have been notified, if required; and
13. Ensure that for spills or releases involving a hazardous substance at or above its reportable
quantity, the following necessary information is recorded and reported: name of chemical(s)
involved, whether the substance is listed under 40 CFR 302—extremely hazardous substances,
estimated quantity of the released substance, time of the release and duration, medium into which
the substance was released, health risks associated with the release, precautions taken to respond
to the release, name and telephone numbers of persons who can be contacted for further.
IN THE EVENT OF MAJOR FIRE, NATURAL DISASTER, FATALITY OR MAJOR SPILL:
Emergency Coordinator will notify the following individuals immediately:
Mike Velasquez, Director Operations Management – (801) 230-4692
Personal Injury:
In the event of personal injury, the following steps will be taken:
1. Determine the nature and extent of the injury.
2. Call emergency medical technicians if necessary: 911
3. Locate first aid supplies and administer first aid as necessary or, if not trained, notify first aid
trained co-worker.
4. Notify Emergency Coordinator immediately.
Medical arrangements can be accommodated by the Emergency Coordinator at the following facilities:
For non-urgent weekday care: For urgent night and weekend care (24 hrs):
Grand Valley Occup Health Grand River Health
2004 N. 12th Street 501 Airport Rd.
Grand Junction CO 81501 Rifle, CO 81650
(970) 256-6490 (970) 625-1510
Evacuation Procedures:
When employees detect an emergency that requires an evacuation, such as a fire or hazardous release, they
should evacuate the office and meet at the Rally Point.
Some emergencies require evacuation or escape procedures, while some require employees to stay indoors,
or in a safe area. Our emergency escape procedures are designed to respond to many potential emergencies,
depending on the degree of seriousness. Nothing in these procedures precludes the Emergency
Coordinator’s authority in determining whether employees should remain inside or evacuate.
At this location, the following types of emergency evacuations exist:
1. Fire;
2. Explosions;
3. Tornados;
4. Hazardous spills; and
5. Hazardous chemical or biological releases.
The emergency evacuation procedures and assignments are designed to respond to many potential
emergencies that require them, including: fires, explosions, tornados, or hazardous releases.
Employees need to know what to do if they are alerted to a specific emergency.
After an alarm is sounded, signal given, or employees are otherwise driven to evacuate, employees shall
vacate the building by the nearby building exit adjacent to the office and head north toward the exterior
Rally Point. The Rally Point is located at the warehouse.
Procedures to Account for Employees:
Trained evacuation personnel assist in safe and orderly evacuation for all types of emergencies that require
evacuation. Once evacuation is complete, they conduct head counts. The employees selected are trained in
the complete workplace layout and the various alternative escape routes from the workplace. Before
leaving, these employees check rooms and other enclosed spaces in the workplace for employees who may
be trapped or otherwise unable to evacuate the area. A list of trained evacuation personnel appears below:
Isaac Cruz – Transportation Supervisor
720-417-9648
Heath Mitchell – Transportation Manager
303-406-8918
Alan Inkley – Area Safety Manager
(801) 503-5985
This list provides a sufficient number of employees who have been designated by the company and are
trained to:
1. Direct and assist in safe and orderly emergency evacuation;
2. Provide guidance and instruction for all types of emergency situations;
3. Be aware of employees with special needs, who may require extra assistance;
4. Use the buddy system; and
5. Avoid hazardous areas during an emergency evacuation.
The list of trained personnel includes at least one person from every area for every shift. The trained
personnel also serve as a resource of information about emergency procedures and conduct head counts
once evacuation is complete.
Supervisors must be aware of the locations of those employees working on a particular day when an
emergency occurs, as well as suppliers, customers, and other non-employees on the premises, when an
emergency occurs, and be aware of who is absent or otherwise away from the premises. Accounting for
employees and non-employees will aid local responding fire/rescue departments in determining whether
rescue efforts are necessary.
All departments will report to the Emergency Coordinator in charge or trained evacuation personnel.
Once each evacuated group of employees have reached their evacuation destinations, each trained
evacuation employee:
1. Takes roll of his or her group;
2. Makes sure all persons are accounted for;
3. Reports in to a central checkpoint managed by the Emergency Coordinator; and
4. Assumes role of department contact to answer questions.
Head count results should be given to the emergency response provider, if requested.
No employees are to return to the buildings until advised by the Emergency Coordinator (after
determination has been made that re-entry is safe). If anyone is injured or contaminated, the Emergency
Coordinator will activate rescue and first aid actions. If appropriate, depending on the duration and extent
of the emergency incident, the Emergency Coordinator may send employees home by normal means or
provide them with transportation to an off-site location.
Tornado Watch/Warning:
Stericycle will monitor possible tornadoes using the public address system and alarm system. If a tornado
warning is issued, all personnel will report to interior areas of the building until an “all-clear” is issued by
the weather service.
Spill Response:
In the event of a spill or loss of containment of waste (either outdoors within property boundaries or during
transit) the following actions will be taken:
1. Determine, and write down, the location and severity of incident.
2. If there are any injuries, refer to Personal Injury section above.
3. Notify Emergency Coordinator immediately.
4. The Emergency Coordinator will, if appropriate, notify the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment’s (CDPHE) Emergency Preparedness and Response Division (EPRD) (877)
518-5608 and provide necessary information.
5. If the spill is manageable, in the opinion of the Emergency Coordinator, respond with a truck to
the spill with the following spill supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE):
Vermiculite
25% bleach solution
Tub liners
Spray bottles
Water
Respirators
Tyvek coveralls
Gloves
Rubber overboots
Barricade tape
Duct tape
Cellular telephone
Shovels
Empty regulated medical waste tubs
6. Appropriate PPE will be donned
7. The spilled material will be placed in red bags to the extent possible (and then into tubs or bins)
8. The affected area, and any remaining residue will be disinfected with bleach (or other appropriate
disinfectant)
9. Vermiculite (or other suitable absorbent) will be spread on the spill area, a sufficient time should
be allowed to elapse (at least 10 minutes), and the entirety of the absorbent should be placed in red
bags.
10. Steps 7 through 9 will be repeated as necessary
11. The spill area and any tools or materials used in the cleanup procedure will be sprayed with
disinfectant one final time.
In the event of a spill determined to be unmanageable by Stericycle personnel, the emergency coordinator,
or designee, will notify CHEMTREC to conduct reporting of the spill, and contact Emergency Response
and Training Solutions (ERTS) to clean up the spill.
Contact Information:
CHEMTREC - (800) 424-9300
ERTS - (800) 210-6804
Note that no waste is stored, handled, or shall otherwise enter the office or any other indoor space on
the property.
Fire Protection Plan:

The primary lessor provides properly maintained fire extinguishers of appropriate class/type for use by
trained personnel during emergencies. As described in Appendix B of this EDOP, Stericycle personnel are
trained in fire extinguisher use.
Fire Alarms and Sprinklers
The Rifle facility uses a fire alarm system that automatically activates in case of fire. This system is
designed and maintained in accordance with local and state fire code. The primary lessor is responsible for
the maintenance of this system.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Facility Shutdown / Alternate Waste Management Plan:
In the event that the Stericycle Colorado Springs facility is unable to store or transfer waste which has been
accepted due to an unforeseen circumstance necessitating the suspension of operations, waste will be sent
to another approved facility for storage, transfer, treatment and/or disposal.
Should the facility be anticipated to be shut down for a significant period, arrangements shall be made to
divert incoming waste to an alternate facility approved to manage the wastes.
