CDOT LEAD MITIGATION
Colorado Department of Transportation is concerned about the stewardship
of the environment and has taken the EPA's Best Management Practices for
lead into account throughout the designing and operation of the shooting
range.
The EPA states that there are several range characteristics that lead to water
contamination or prevention. Colorado Department of Transportation
intrinsically prevents lead propagation in the following ways:
1. The soil characteristic of Colorado Department of Transportation is a
fine sandy loam, which is a soil that allows good lead reclamation.
Underneath the top soil is bentonite clay which bonds with free lead
ions and prevents further migration.
2. The annual precipitation at Colorado Department of Transportation is
around 12 inches per year which nearly classifies the area as a desert
(10 inches per year). Low precipitation provides little means for lead
migration.
3. Colorado Department of Transportation will HydroSeed the berms so
that the range is covered by grass which absorbs rainwater reducing
the time that lead is in contact with rainwater. The vegetation also
slows and prevents runoff.
The previous factors are a huge part of Colorado Department of
Transportation' lead management. The intrinsic properties of the range
leave the lead basically inert. Colorado Department of Transportation uses
the following techniques to make the removal and recycling of lead possible:
1. Colorado Department of Transportation contains the lead into as small
of an area as possible by overlapping shortfall zones and using
backstops. This allows the removal of the lead to be less difficult.
2. One local company that may be used for lead reclamation is:
Metal Treatment Technologies
14045 West 66th Avenue
Arvada, CO 80004
888-435-6615
3. If any lead is to be stored at Colorado Department of Transportation
after reclamation, it will be stored in sealed steel containers.
Dust Abatement Plan
All accesses are covered with recycled asphalt, including the range floor.
Colorado Department of Transportation has access to many water trucks and
can utilize many dust suppression methods for high traffic or dry days.

Dear Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
This letter serves us an uflieial«yucst from the Colorado Department ransportation
(COOT)to Weld County,asking that Weld County waive the S2,500 tikditgfet^associated
with the proposed MOT survey shooting range to be located on SI 1263,in the interest of
intergovernmenwl cooperation.
COOT has agreed to provide traffic control for Weld County projects at 7 different locations,
which are listed on the enclosed spreadsheet. Since CDOT is a fellow governmental agency and
not a for-pm fit company,it has the unique ability to perform these traffic control operations in a
more cost-efficient manner than what Weld County could contract them out to a third-party
private company.
CDOT will pafonn the 7 traffic control operations on behalf of Weld County at an estimated
cost to CDOT of$5.120. This amount will come out of CDOT's budget. Had Weld County
contracted with a private traffic control firm for the work,it is estimated to have cost the County
57,000 based on bids from two prominent local traffic control companies.
Based on the savings to the County and impact on CDOT's operating budget,consideration is
requested of Weld County to waive the$2,500 building fix,es a fair return gesture of
intergovernmental cooperation. If you would like to discuss this proposal further or have any
questions,please call meat 350-2103.
Sincerely,
��' *asJ Au

(100) yards of range. The slope of the hill shall not be less than two (2) to one (1). A vertical cut shall be
taken out of the face of the hillside used for a backstop to provide a nearly perpendicular face to catch
bullets and prevent ricochets.
b. Artificial bullet stops. For up to a three-hundred-yard range, an earth embankment at least twenty-
five (25) feet in height, well sodded to retain a slope of thirty-five (35) degrees from perpendicular and
