APPLICANT : Highland Park West Investments CASE NUMBER: S-162 :79 :7 SUBJECT : Preliminary Plan - Highland Park West LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt. SW4i Section 15, T5N, R66W LOCATION: Z mile southwest of Greeley, south of Highland Hills Municipal Golf Course and north of U. S . Highway 34 Bypass APPEARANCE : Art Uhrich of ARIX and Dick Weber DISCUSSION: This proposal is for a proposed subdivision on approximately 146 acres with 114 lots proposed. Mr. Uhrich stated that the Highway Department was concerned about the access to the area south of the Greeley-Loveland Ditch which is not shown on the plat. They requested that some means of access other than the highway should be planned for this area. The Planning Staff had several concerns regarding the proposal, one being that the City of Greeley has indicated city water is available to the site providing the developer meet and initiate all city requirements. The Greeley Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposal conditional upon the development meeting City standards. The applicant' s intent as to whether or not the development will be built to City of Greeley standards which includes curb, gutter and sidewalks was not clear at this time. The present proposal does not include standards for curb, gutter and sidewalk. If the development is not to be built to City standards , it was the opinion of the Planning Staff that the City will not provide water service. If this occurs , the preliminary plan will not be consistent with the Subdivision Regulations. These regulations requires that water service will be available prior to approval of the plan. The staff was also concerned whether the subdivision will be served by a public sanitation system or on-lot sewage disposal system that will not result in water pollution. The Weld County Health Department has questioned the suitability of the septic systems. Since these were the concerns by the Planning Staff their recommendation at this time was to continue the hearing until some of these concerns had been satisfactorily resolved which was read into the record by Tom Honn. Dick Weber then presented a letter to the Planning Commission which states that they agree to develop the proposed subdivision according to the City of Greeley standards as it regards sidewalks, streets , water and sewer installations as requested by the Greeley Planning Commission in their meeting on August 28, 1979. There will be no septic systems which was a concern by the Weld County Health Department. John Hall of the Weld County Health Department stated that they Health Department would have no further concerns in this regard if the septic system is eliminated. Planning Counuiission nutes Page 5 - September 5 , 1979 The Planning Staff also understood the the applicant is changing the street design of the Preliminary Plan to comply with the City of Greeley' s requests for access. These revisions will require additional review from the Weld County Engineering Department and Weld County Utility Board. General discussion followed. Chairman Carlson then asked if anyone present in the audience wished to make a statement regarding the application. At this time Josephine Jones asked several questions regarding whether or not the electrical lines would be above or below ground and if there was a provision for open space within a three miles radius . Jerry Paul stated he had not seen a copy of the revised plat which he was then shown by Mr. Uhrich indicating the street plan to him. Lawrence Smith and Diane Discoe expressed concern about 24th Street becoming a traffic problem and safety of children in the area. Harry Cross stated he was concerned about drainage from the area. Marge Speaker expressed concern about the entrance to the area which could create dust pollution because the street is not paved and was also concerned about the children in the area and their safety. She also felt there could be a problem with mosquitoes from the detention ponds. Discussion followed regarding responsibility for road maintenance. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recouwiend approval and that the City explain and be more explicit regarding their street pattern and design. Motion by Frank Suckla, seconded by Don Billings. A vote of "aye" was cast by Frank Suckla, Don Billings , Chuck Carlson, Irma White, Fred Otis, and Jerry Kiefer. Mr. Ehrlich cast an abstention vote. Motion carried.

The change of zone application from "A" to "H" is on approximately 29 acres; the "A" to "E" on approximately 123 acres . The total preliminary plan includes 168 acres . Mr. Sears first asked that the Planning Staff read their recommendation to the Planning Commission. Tom Honn read the Planning Staff ' s recommendation for continuing the hearing for the change of zone requests only. The staff had several concerns regarding availability of water from the City of Greeley, whether or not the subdivision will be served by a public sanitation system or on-lot sewage disposal system. The County Engineer has also expressed several concerns as well as the City of Greeley which need to be resolved before the Planning Staff can make a recommendation on the proposal. Mr. Sears then couuiiented that he feels this is the best conceived, most carefully planned subdivision he has ever been involved with and was very much concerned about some of the recommendations received by several referral agencies . He stated he was most anxious to have his "day in court" with them at the next scheduled Planning Commission hearing. He stated he feels they are at somewhat of a standstill regarding the water service. He also stated that the septic system was designed for installation of a total sewer system, but they must comply with the Greeley-Loveland Shareholders Agreement. There was also some discussion regarding 24th Street and the possibility of it becoming a collector street. Dr. Smith, surrounding property owner, again expressed concern about 24th street. He feels that when the city and the county meet regarding an issue of this nature that surrounding property owners should be included and asked for their couuuents since they live in the area in question. Victor Clifton also conuiiented on the loss of prime agricultural farmland and concern for the safety of the children on 24th Street. Don Billings stated he found it somewhat unrelated that a property owner in a subdivision has objection to another subdivision. Discussion again followed.

A vote of "aye" was cast by Irma White, Jerry Kiefer, Frank Suckla, Bob Ehrlich, Fred Otis, Don Billings, and Chuck Carlson. Motion carried. Election of Officers for 1979-1980.

REQUEST: Landfill LEGAL DESCRIPTION: EL-NW-14 and W2NE4 Section 29, T1N, R68W LOCATION: 1/2 mile east of Erie Air Park THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE Continued FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS : The Colorado Department of Health, Hazardous Waste Division, has requested additional information from the applicant regarding the following items (telephone conversation 3: 30 P:M. , August 16, 1979) : 1. The adequacy of available fill for the life of the landfill 2. Fugitive dust control measures during excavation and operation Item Numbers 1 and 2 were also requested by the Weld County Health Department. 3. A hydrogeologic evaluation concerning possible subsidence due to the Columbine Mine, depth to groundwater and potential aquifer contamination (this information was also requested by the Colorado Geological Survey) 4. Design of the diversion structure to accomodate the 100 year storm. The diversion structures in the present landfill plans are designed to accomodate a 25 year storm. The State Water Conservation Board and the State Department of Health feel the structures should be designed to handle the 100 year storm due to the poor permeability of the soils. the harshness of the terrain, and concern with the possibility of flash floods in Coal Creek. The Department of Planning Services Staff recommends this request be continued until September 4, 1979, to provide time for the additional information to be submitted to the Colorado Department of Health, fivsardous 'taste Division, for their review and comment.

On behalf of NCAR we respectfully request that the Special Use Permit, which we understand has been heretofore approved, be set for reconsideration and then revoked, for the following reasons in addition to all others heretofore made by NCAR and other opponents. 1. Had NCAR and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) been aware of the proposed landfill operation they would have had representatives present at the hearings and we believe that your decision might well have been not to approve the Special Use Permit. We realize that the failure to notify NCAR and NOAA was purely an oversight on the part of your staff. However, NCAR remains prepared to offer testimony to the Commissioners concerning the potentially detrimental effects of the landfill upon_ its • scientific activities. • HOLLAND &HART Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado November 19 , 1979 Page 2 2 . One of the speakers for Colorado Landfill put his finger squarely on the problem when he said, at a hearing before the Colorado Land Use Commission on Friday, November 16 , that while the citizens of Weld County clearly need a solid waste disposal site, perhaps this is not the proper location. 3 . The danger of bird-strikes has been raised by NCAR and others. We understand that the Federal Aviation Administration may oppose the proposed disposal site because of its proximity to an existing airport. The undersigned has personally talked to an Air Force officer in Washington, D.C. who is assigned to the FAA and was advised that a letter to the Board of County Commissioners had been written and would be mailed as soon as it had been approved by the necessary persons at the FAA. It should be noted that the problems which may be created by the landfill site for NCAR are akin to but different from those of the airport. Aircraft must fly very low-level flights close to NOAA' s Tower in order to calibrate their scientific instruments in preparation for experiments conducted all over the world. The bird-strike danger for the airport, on the other hand, arises out of the proximity of its established approach and departure patterns to the proposed landfill site. 4 . An additional aspect of the danger of bird-strikes which should be called to your attention is that someone might seek to hold Weld County itself liable for having authorized operation of the solid waste disposal site after having been warned of the potential danger. You might wish to ask the Weld County Attorney to investigate the outcome of a suit which arose out of an airplane crash into a Farrell ' s ice cream parlor in Sacramento, California in 1972 . While we have not talked personally to counsel for either the plaintiffs or the defendants in that case, it is our understanding that the county was joined as a defendant on a negligence theory and that it paid a substantial sum in settlement of the suit. 5 . At the Land Use Commission hearing mentioned above, claim was made on behalf of the applicant that the 1 statutes and regulations, together with the conditions and standards which were imposed, are adequate to insure that there will be no adverse effects from operation of the proposed site. The existence of regulations, statutes, conditions, and development standards is, of course, a different question from that of compliance therewith, a distinction which was glossed over at the hearing. Compliance will not (perhaps cannot) be perfect, but even if it were it • HOLLAND &HART Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado November 19 , 1979 Page 2 would mean only that the problems caused by the landfill site have been reduced, not completely eliminated. 6 . There is apparently less need for a solid waste disposal site at the proposed location than has heretofore been supposed. The undersigned was informed this morning by one of the principals of Clear Creek Development Company that it intends to open a site on December 1 , 1979 , at 144th and Riverdale Road in Adams County, approximately two miles west and one mile south of Brighton, Colorado.

LIND ATTORNEY AT LAW THE LAW BUILDING 1011 ELEVENTH AVENUE P O BOX 326 GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 TELEPHONE 13031 353-2323 October 2 , 1979 The Honorable Norman Carlson Chairman , Board of County Commissioners Weld County 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr . Carlson : Colorado Landfill , Inc. , including Vern Nelson of Nelson Engineering ,. Mr . Lynn Keirnes , President of Colorado Landfill , Inc . , and myself, have had an opportunity to review the comment letters received by you from Frank Roberts , Jr. , attorney for Erie Air Park Co . , Earl D . Baird and Cecil Wagner of the Federal Aviation Administration . On behalf of Colorado Landfill , Inc. , I would like to state that we are incredulous as to those comments , as they can only be based upon a complete lack of knowledge and misinformation. I would point out that the location of the airstrip is 5 ,250 feet from the nearest point of the property owned by Colorado Landfill , Inc. , and more than 6 ,000 feet to the closest proposed active landfill area . Thus the proposed landfill meets the criteria of Federal Aviation Administration Order 5200. 5 , Paragraph 5 , in that the landfill is more than 5 ,000 feet from any runway used for piston type aircraft . Additionally , I am sure that you and your services staff have had an opportunity to view the Greeley-Milliken , Fort Lupton and Eaton sites , and you can personally see that there is no type of bird problem whatsoever. Finally, I would point out that the Erie Air Park and runway were constructed while the old Erie landfill was in operation . The new Erie landfill is only 1 /4 mile closer to the development than the old Erie landfill . . S ` The Honorable Norman Carlson October 2 , 1979 Page 2 Over—all , I can only determine that the letters that you have received from the Federal Aviation Administration are based upon a complete lack of knowledge of the new landfill and landfill operations , as if the authors had taken any efforts to verify the false information which they had received , I am sure that you would have received no complaints . For your review, I have enclosed a map copy showing the new landfill site , the airstrip , and the distance between those locations , which confirms the fact that we are further than 5 ,000 feet from the runway . Thank you for your attention and consideration concerning this matter, and I hope that these facts finally lay to rest the innuendos and slander apparently created by the Erie Air Park developers .

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 RE: Proposed Dump Site Near Erie, Colorado Gentlemen: I am writing this letter on behalf of the Erie Air Park Company, developers of the Erie Air Park Subdivision in Erie , Colorado , to protest the dump site location near that development proposed by Colorado Landfill. The proposed site is only 2500 feet from the nearest part of the development, as the attached map indicates. The subdivision is made up of 119 residential lots , which will house approximately 500 people. To date, eight houses have been conpleted there and another dozen are under construction. pie development should be completely built out in three years. Not only will the dump site be an eyesore to residents of the subdivision ( it is plainly visible from the entire development since it sits on a West-facing slope) , but the dust , odor and noise pollution and increased truck traffic connected with the dump' s operation will cause an increased health risk to development residents. As great as the impact of the dump may be on homeowners in the sub- division, because of the nature of the total development, there may be an even more serious, perhaps catastrophic , consequence to lo- cating the dump at the proposed site. As the subdivision name im- plies , it is built around an airport , the Tri-County Airport. This general aviation facility is now home to approximately 100 aircraft , and when it is fully developed , along with runway-access industrial and residential lots , it will house three times that number. This will also occur within the next three years. At that time , daily aircraft movements may reach 500. One of the greatest dangers to such aircraft operations is the presence of large numbers_ of birds. around the airport. One of the greatest man-made attractions to birds is a "sanitary landfill, " a misnomer if ever there was one. Not only does the "landfill" ( garbage) itself attract birds, but the rodents and insects attracted by the garbage attract still more birds. See "Airport Bird Control" by Paul S. Nichols in Airport Services Management magazine of September 1979. One need only recall '2 , -2- • the number of fatal aircraft accidents in recent years caused by bird ingestion into engine intakes and bird crashes through air- craft windshields to understand the grim consequences of attracting large numbers of birds to airport environs. The proposed dump site . in this case, incidentally, is only 3,000 feet from the approach end of runway 15 at Tri-County Airport. The thing that makes both hazards just mentioned particularly ob- jectionable is the fact that they both could be easily avoided without denying southwestern Weld County a dump site. Colorado Land- fill has a right to purchase another 160-acre tract one-half mile North of the proposed site. While this alternative site would not be entirely satisfactory to subdivision residents or airport users , it would obviate the most objectionable features of the proposed site. The alternative site is over a hill and out of the view of subdivision residents, and it is one-half mile further from air- craft operations. On behalf of the Erie Air Park Company and the thousands of people , both subdivision residents and airport users , who will be affected by the dump site location over the life of the facility, I 'ask that you carefully reconsider your tentative approval of the proposed location. If you desire further information about the subdivision or airport , please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration.

Nelson, P.E. for Colorado Landfill, Inc. ROADWAYS. A 40' x 1,400' Right-of-Way from the intersection of County Roads No. 5 and No. 6 westerly along the south edge of Section 20 is being acquired to provide for construction of a two-lane access roadway to the site from the existing graveled county roads. The expense of this roadway construction will be borne by the Applicant. Roadways will be developed on the site to provide access to current fill areas at the expense of the Applicant. FENCING. Fencing will be provided around filled areas and active fill areas as needed to enclose landfill operations. DRAINAGE. All surface drainage will be diverted around fill areas and returned to same drainage basin. No live drainage water exists in the proposed initial landfill area. LIFE OF PROJECT. Fill operations will be conducted to provide for a minimum life expectancy of ten years. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES. An office and equipment maintenance building will be constructed on the site. Domestic water will be hauled into the office area in the amount required. Wastewater facilities for the office function will be provided by septic tank on site. Electric service will be obtained from the nearest distribution facility. The landfill operations will begin at the western end of the existing drainage paralleling the north side of the property with filling to occur from west to east along the drainage utilizing in place materials for fill over the solid wastes. A water tank truck will be provided at the site to provide fire protection and sprinkling of roadways to control dust. Security measures will be taken as required to protect the area from unauthorized trespass. REGULATIONS. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Public Law 94-580 as enacted by the 94th Congress establishes the national policy for safe disposal of discarded material, regulates the management of hazardous waste, and provides technical, financial, and management assistance for recovery procedures of energy and other resources from discarded materials. -1- f .1 The State of Colorado through its Department of Health has established regulations and standards for the designation, operation, maintenance, and design of solid waste disposal sites and facilities. These regulations were adopted February 16, 1972 by the Colorado State Board of Health pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes 1963, Section 3-16-2 as amended, and Chapter 36, Article 23, CRS 1963 as amended by Chapter 103, Colorado Session Laws 1971. The County of Weld has adopted resolutions to confirm its interest to gain compliance with the Federal laws and State of Colorado regulations. The stated intent of the Applicant is to make every effort to comply with the above stated regulations, guidelines, and resolutions. July 11, 1979 -2- SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) ( C) A complete and accurate legal description of the property is as follows : The East One-half ( Ez) of the Northwest Quarter (NW4) and the West One-half (W2) of the Northeast Quarter (NE4) of Section Twenty-nine (29) , Township One ( 1 ) North , Range Sixty-eight ( 68) West of the 6th P .M. , Weld County , Colorado SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) (E) The proposed operation is to operate a sanitary landfill for the benefit of the citizens of Weld County , Colorado , pursuant to the contract and agreements dated June 6 , 1979 , between Weld County, Colorado , and Colorado Landfill , Inc . The proposed site , the subject of this Special Use Application , is to provide a landfill site for residents of southern Weld County after the existing Fort Lupton landfill site is closed. It is contemplated that the Fort Lupton site will be closed during 1979 with the expectation that this new southern Weld County landfill will be in operation prior to January 1 , 1980. The existing Erie landfill , which was closed by order of the County Commissioners of Weld County, on June 6 , 1979 , is located immediately to the east of the proposed site. The old Erie site was closed due to a lack of written lease and problems with cover. The new proposed site is ideally suited for a landfill , with more than adequate cover dirt. Based upon experience of the old Erie site , it is expected that the new site will be operated 5 days per week with 2 full -time employees . The estimated traffic is 500 commercial trucks per month , and 200 public loads per month . Some pollution will result due to the operations and traffic , but no more than the old Erie site generated , therefore there is no increase in pollution or traffic burden . Air pollution will result from commercial haulers and private citizens hauling trash to the landfill , and using dirt and gravel roads creating dust and dirt in the atmosphere. With a proper operation there will be no water pollution , odor or glare . Noise pollution will be very minimal as there are no homes closer than one-half mile to the landfill site and the property is surrounded by hills on 3 sides , which reduces noise and visual pollution . Fire is considered a minimal hazard, and the only safety hazard will be directly related to machinery operation by employees on the site. Traffic congestion is considered minimal as there are few homes located on the county roads leading to the landfill site , and there will be no increase in traffic as compared to the old Erie landfill site . Additionally , the proposed site is located within 3 miles of Interstate 25 and there are paved roads within 1 mile of the landfill site, thereby reducing congestion and dust pollution created by traffic. SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) ( F) As the Special Use Permit Application is specifically for operation of a sanitary landfill , the operation is actually disposing of wastes in a sanitary and healthful manner described herein at ( 1 ) ( E) . As the landfill operation will be operated in a proper manner, there should be no generation of on-site or operational wastes which will not be buried and covered in accordance with the total operation . It is believed that the only true on-site generation of wastes will be small quantities of sewage generated by employees . It is currently proposed that Colorado Landfill , Inc. will provide portable refuse facilities similar to those used on construction sites . The wastes collected will then be disposed of on-site or hauled to other proper treatment facilities . SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) (G) It is not contemplated that any type of water supply will be required for operations by Colorado Landfill , Inc . , of the sanitary landfill . The only water which will be required is drinking water for employees , and it is contemplated that bottled water will be so provided . S S SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re; Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) ( B) A certified boundary sruvey of the property is included with this application . a S SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc . ( 1 ) (D) Soil survey and interpretation are attached hereto . Said information was provided by the Longmont Soil Conservation District. S al SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc . ( 1 ) ( I ) 12 plans showing the required information are included with this application. S S SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION Re : Colorado Landfill , Inc. ( 1 ) (J ) Property surrounding the application land is basically owned by numerous out of state owners . Names and addresses of all out of state owners have been acquired , and petitions and letters of explanation mailed to those owners . It is unknown how many of the owners will sign and return the petitions , however, we would submit the application in the current form based upon the fact that petitions have been tendered to all adjoining property owners , but none have yet been returned. NELSON ENGINEERS GREELEY NATIONAL PLAZA 822 7TH STREET GREELEY,COLORADO 80631 (303)356-6362 09426b- July 23, 1979 '1O\ 4 4_, JUL 1979 co RECENED Department of Planning Services Weld County Weld County, Colorado planningComalissioe 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 1O1�1Ei0 6 ' Gentlemen: Please consider this letter as supplemental information to be in- cluded as a part of the initial Special Use Permit Application for Southwest Weld County Landfill Site in Sec . 29 , T1N, R68W as sub- mitted during the week of July 16 , 1979 . This information includes designs and descriptions of facilities as requested by you to assist in your evaluation of this application. Fencing shall be provided on site in such a manner to control the scattering of windblown debris and to confine within the site all solid wastes discharged to the site . As a minimum, a 5 foot high, 2 inch by 4 inch mesh fence will be constructed along the south edge of the initial landfill area to extend a distance of at least 600 feet east-northeast and 600 feet south-southwest from the active fill area. As the fill location changes , the fence will be extended to conform to this basic criteria. Portable debris fences of at least 8 foot height with 2 inch by 4 inch mesh will be used immediately adjacent to the active fill area. These portable fences will be constructed with metal framing and adequate foundation to avoid blowing over in high wind periods . A 5 foot high, 2 inch by 4 inch mesh fence will be constructed along the west and north property boundaries to preclude debris blowing from the site. As the fill progresses from the initial fill area, the north boundary fence will be extended so that at no time is it less than 500 feet east and 500 feet west of the active fill area . Initially, the west boundary fence will extend from the northwest corner of the site to 100 feet south of the south edge of the initial landfill area as shown on the map accompanying the request for special use of the site. In addition to fencing required to contain debris , other peripheral and security fencing will be constructed as required to prevent unwarranted trespass . As a minimum, such fencing will consist of a two-wire barbed fence with posts and gates appropriately placed. I Department of Planning Services July 23, 1979 Page 2 All fencing will remain somewhat flexible so that as the active landfill area changes , the fencing can be changed to meet the needs . At all times , the operator expects to maintain adequate fencing to prevent waste material and debris from escaping from the site. The following analysis provides the design information regarding surface drainage diversion from the initial fill area at the solid wastes disposal site in Sec . 29-T1N-R68W in Southwestern Weld County. It includes the area of drainage, quantities of flow, and the design of the diversion ditch and structure (dam) . The attached exhibit shows the drainage area of 45 A. above the diversion structure as shown on the application for Special Use Permit . Calculate Maximum Runoff and amount of water to be diverted for a 25 year storm using rational runoff formula : Q = CIA. The longest distance of flow to point of concentration is 2, 000 feet, therefore, the time of concentration (Tc) is as follows : Slope 25 ' in 1000 ' = 2 . 5% ; Tc = 32 min. Slope 50 ' in 1000 ' = 5 . 0% ; Tc = 26 min. Total Tc 58 min. - -use 60 min. For 25 year storm, one hour rainfall for Southwestern Weld County is 1 . 9 inches (Seelye design) . For concentration time of 60 minutes and 1 . 9 inch rainfall , the rainfall intensity is also 1 . 9 inches , then Q = C CA IA where C = Runoff-Rainfall coefficient for earth surface, light vegetation- -0 . 15 CA = Antecedent Rainfall Factor- -1 . 2 I = Rainfall Intensity in inches per hour- -1 . 9 inches A = Area in Acres--45 A. Q = (0 . 15) (1 . 2) (1 . 9) (45) = 15 . 4 cfs . Slope of channel is about 70 feet in 2700 feet ; S = 2 . 6% average. Design Channel from Seelye Design Nomograph p. 18-06 . Illp dip Department of Planning Services July 23, 1979 Page 3 Use D9 Section which provides for Q of 22 cfs @ min. grade of 1% (1 . 5 times required Q) . D9 Section is a Ditch of Isosceles Triangle Configuration with 7 : 1 side slopes , 1 foot depth, and 14 foot top width with minimum grade of 1% or use a Section which is an isosceles triangle with 3 : 1 side slopes approximately 1 . 5 feet deep and 9 feet top width. Ditch velocity at the minimum 1% grade will be approximately 3 foot/sec . Channel bed will be planted with grass to provide erosion pro- tection although erosion of the channel is tolerable in this instance. The dam in the natural drainage basin will be a diversion structure only with no storage whatsoever . The structure will divert from the natural drainage course into the diversion ditch as shown on the plan. The structure itself will consist of compacted natural earth constructed on a base of scarified natural earth from which all top soil has been removed. It will be 3 feet high at the maximum natural channel depth with a 10 foot top width and 3 : 1 side slopes . The structure will be oriented to provide a smooth transition from the natural channel to the diversion ditch. Rip rap in the form of local natural rock will be provided on the upstream face as required. This diversion structure is a minimum size and will create no hazard to safety whatsoever. Its only purpose is to divert surface runoff as calculated heretofore, away from the initial solid wastes fill area on the landfill site. I trust this letter will provide the supplemental information needed for your review. If you have any further questions or need addi- tional supportive data, please call me .

Greeley, Colorado C. Lynn Keirnes , President September 24,- 1979 Nov PC 1 EC:E!vcv . 1 r- wl Lr Weld County a Planning Cor riss!o] Prepared by : NELSON ENGINEERS Greeley National Plaza Greeley, -Colorado Y • SUPPLEMENT NO. 3 ' TO . OPERATIONS PLAN FOR SOUTHWEST WELD COUNTY LANDFILL Prepared by Nelson Engineers for Colorado Landfill , Inc . regarding Southwest Weld County Landfill Site near Erie , Colorado. ADDITIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY . i 1 . The attached map shows locations of the proposed landfill site , the Erie Air Park with runway and clear zone locations , town ` limits of Erie , the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) sampling tower , Coal Creek and other topographic features . 2 . Bird attractions in the area are those normally encountered in a rural environment such as (a) natural stream bed with its trees , shrubs , weeds , water pockets , etc . , (b) natural and manmade lakes , (c) agricultural activities including crop harvesting activities and newly plowed fields , and (d) existing waste areas where solid wastes have previously been deposited . 3 . EPA includes in its Rules and Regulations the following : "Bird hazards to aircraft- -a facility or practice disposing of putrescible wastes that may attract birds and which occurs within 10 , 000 feet (3 , 048 meters) of any airport runway used by turbojet aircraft or within 5 , 000 feet (1 , 524 meters) of any airport runway used by only piston-type aircraft shall not pose a bird hazard to aircraft . " The same Rules and Regulations pro- vide definitions of various terms including "airport" being de- fined as "a public-use airport open to the public without prior permission and without restrictions within the physical capa- bilities of available facilities" ; and "bird hazard" being defined as "an increase in the likelihood of bird/aircraft collisions that may cause damage to the aircraft or injury to its occupants . " There is an existing open dump for solid wastes adjacent to the proposed landfill site . That open dump has been closed during 1979 by the Weld County Board of Commissioners due to improper operation, one of which is inadequate refuse cover . Records do not indicate that any bird strikes have occurred in the vicinity as a result of the current improper operation. In addition, bird counts now in operation do not indicate an unusual accumulation of birds at the closed site. At completion of current bird counts at Weld County Landfill Sites , a tabu- lation of bird numbers will be available . r Supplement No. 3 to Operations Plan For Southwest Weld County Landfill Page 2 of 2 - , 4 . All landing and take-off patterns for the Erie Air Park are to the west of the approximate north-south runway and, normal left turn patterns to the approximate east-west runway. As a result most air traffic avoids the proposed landfill site. Since Erie Air Park is a private airport, no public record is available of arrivals and departures or of types of aircraft using the facility. 5 . The NCAR tower is in the north part of the SEl/4 Sec . 16 I T1N-R68W, and 11 , 000 feet from the center of the proposed landfill site. The azimuth of the tower from the center of the proposed landfill site is 36°30 ' , while the interior angle from the center of the proposed landfill site to 1200 feet either side of the tower is 13° (30° to 43°) at the 11 , 000 foot distance . The following wind information is derived from the recorded wind rose at the Jefferson County Airport : a. No recorded winds in the 13° directional interior angle in excess of 24 mph. b. 0 . 1% of time the wind is in the 13° directional interior angle at a velocity of from 12 to 24 mph. c. 2 . 0% of time the wind is in the 13° directional interior angle at a velocity of from 4 to 12 mph. d. 12 . 1% of the time the winds are less than 4 mph and are not directionally recorded for airport wind rose purposes . Normally winds less than 4 mph are considered calms or at most , insignificant breezes , subject to frequent and very local directional changes having little or no effect on airport operations . These same air movements during so-called calms are subject to both frequent horizontal and vertical direc- tional changes which cause much mixing and dissipation of any airborn matter generated at an identifiable point source . 6 . The NCAR activity very generally consists of particulate and air current measuring and sampling within the area of influence of the tower . Such research activity is probably influenced , not only by future activity, but by all existing activities and uses in the vicinity which include among other uses , a closed improperly operated landfill or dump, abandoned coal mines including a recently burning coal mine spoil pile, an automobile junk yard , gravelled surfaced roadways causing dust , farming and feedlot operations , urban area air pollution , and oil and gas production, processing , and transmission facilities . SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 TO ' OPERATIONS PLAN • FOR SOUTHWEST WELD COUNTY LANDFILL Prepared by Nelson Engineers , November 6 , 1979, for Colorado Landfill , Inc . regarding Southwest Weld County Landfill Site near Erie, Colorado . 1 . Water Wells - Water well information has been obtained from the records of the Colorado State Water Resources Division. There are two (2) domestic wells within one (1) mile of the site as follows : a. NW1/4 SW1/4 Sec . 21-T1N-R68W. Well is at least 4000 feet from center and approximately 2000 feet from nearest corner of the proposed landfill site . The well is recorded to be at 700 foot depth with a capacity of 8 gpm. The well is registered but not adjudicated and is used for domestic purposes . b. NE1/4 NW1/4 Sec . 33-T1N-R68W. Well is at least 6000 feet from center of and approximately 4000 feet from nearest corner of the proposed landfill site. Water depth and capacity are unrecorded, however , depth of well is estimated to be about 700 feet . The well is registered but not adjudicated and is used for domestic purposes . 2 . Liquid Wastes - No liquid wastes will be received at the landfill site . 3 . Sludges - No sludges of more than eighty percent (80%) liquid will be received at the fill . 4 . Methane Gas Control - In other parts of this "Operations Plan" , the use of impermeable liners is discussed using the on-site clayey materials with scarifying and compacting . This impermeable liner will be used at the bottom of all fills including the edges of fills as they might taper or feather out at the boundaries of the landfill site. Such impervious liners will preclude movement of landfill gases and/or leachates beyond the site boundaries . For solid waste fill areas in excess of 10 foot total depth, well vents will be installed in a grid pattern at 200 foot spacing to within 2 feet of the bottom of the fill . Well vents shall be at least 12 inches in diameter , backfilled with clean coarse gravel around a 2 inch perforated plastic pipe . Each vent pipe shall be open to the atmosphere and marked by installing a standard steel fence post adjacent to the vent . Supplement No . 2 To Operations Plan for Southwest Weld County Landfill Page 2 of 4 • 5 . Mine Shafts - The locations of mine shafts and their attitude have been studied from information plotted on the available maps of the abandoned underlyingcoal mine . The main lifting shaft and the air shaft are both in a vertical attitude and are the only shafts identifiable. The locations of these shafts are at or adjacent to the square designation marked "Columbine Mine" on Exhibit No . 2 , and in the area noted as "high subsidence hazard area" outside of the pro- posed fill area. Should other shafts be found as the area is worked, they will either be sealed with concrete caps , if feasible, or avoided with solid wastes material . Potential drainage from landfills will be directed away from any located shaft in all cases . 6 . Increased Volume of Solid Wastes - Should the volume of solid wastes substantially exceed projections , additional equipment commensurate with added requirements will be provided at the site . Should volume increase, revenues at the site will in- crease proportionately so that funds will be available to provide the additional equipment and the operation thereof. Additional equipment will be duplicative of that noted under Equipment in the Plan with addition of a heavy duty compactor as soon as revenues and waste loads so justify. 7 . Sequence of Filling - Filling will begin in the northeast area of the site approximately 500 feet south of the northeast corner and proceed westerly along the major existing arroyo . As that area is completed, filling will proceed southerly across the westerly part of the site , and proceed in an easterly direction across the south part of the site, and finally end with filling of the southeastern corner of the site . All filling will conform to the submitted lines and grades as shown on Exhibit No. 2 . Fill areas will be completed prior to proceeding to new areas . 8 . Runoff From Active Fill Areas - Temporary ponds will be pro- vided within short distances (400 feet to 1000 feet) of the base of the active working face of any fill to catch all runoff from the face of the active fill . The ponds will be moved and maintained below the fill as required to salvage active fill runoff. All water will be evaporated from the ponds prior to filling over . Runoff from completed and covered fill areas will drain away from active fill areas by virtue of finished slopes . 9 . Blowing Trash - The Operations Plan describes gathering of blowing trash from high wind periods immediately upon sub- siding winds . The operator shall also collect blowing debris off the site, if originating from the landfill operations , as necessary to keep the area in an orderly manner . Additional temporary labor will be provided, if necessary, during high wind periods . f Supplement No . 2 To Operations Plan for Southwest Weld County Landfill Page 3 of 4 10 . Dust Control - Dust control on site will be provided through use of road surface materials causing minimum dust and in combination with a water truck with a sprinkler attached. The roadway dust problem off site is now being studied jointly by personnel of the Engineer ' s Office and the Health Depart- ment Office of Weld County, Colorado , and advisors to Colorado Landfill , Inc. The County will receive revenue from the dis- posed material through its surcharge . A plan is being developed to allow for maintenance of the County roads off site to reduce particulate matter in the air through occasional sprinkling, grading, and eventual paving as County funds be- come available. The operator of this landfill legally cannot become responsible for County road maintenance , although cooperation by the operator toward such maintenance is implied in the agreement with the County of Weld . 11 . Additional Test Holes - A copy of a letter from Empire Laboratories is attached hereto . The letter, dated November 6 , 1979 , describes the bedrock condition for a depth of at least ten feet and describes the limited potential for water permeation into the bedrock. The engineering and geologic information that has been obtained regarding soils and subsurface materials to support the development of this operations plan leads to the conclusion that there is absolute minimal potential for contaminating any subsurface usable water bearing strata and for the movement of leachate through any subsurface strata. 12 . Site Access - The site is easily accessible from all weather roads in the vicinity. These roads are all asphalt surfaced at locations adjacent to any significant number of residences and are gravel surfaced elsewhere . These gravelled roads lead directly to the site. Obviously, these roads in the area of the site will be more heavily travelled than in the past , thereby requiring more maintenance than for previous use. The operator, although not legally responsible, must cooperate with the Weld County Engineering Department to provide this additional maintenance . The County of Weld will receive revenue from the surcharge on solid wastes disposal at this site and from all other landfill sites in Weld County. The purpose of this surcharge is documented by County Ordinance and is for the purpose of enhancing and administering the public function of providing solid waste disposal facilities for the citizens of Weld County, a responsibility that includes providing adequate access to certified landfill sites . 13 . Birds - The operator is aware that the potential exists for bird collection at any location providing sanctuary for birds either as nesting or feeding areas . To avoid such a potential , the operator will provide daily cover of the deposited solid wastes and a compacted cover on finished fill areas in i Supplement No. 2 To Operations Plan for Southwest Weld County Landfill Page 4 of 4 accordance with all published County, State, and National regulations . By so doing, the food supply for birds is removed, and according to EPA published data, such denial of food is the most effective bird deterrent. There is no large body of water nearby that might also attract a bothersome bird population. Bird counts are being made at existing landfill sites in Weld County. At no time in the past have accumulations of large numbers of birds been a problem at the landfill sites in Weld County. 14 . Professional Services - Colorado Landfill , Inc . has a written on-going professional services contract with Nelson Engineers of Greeley, Colorado, to provide engineering advice , con- sultation, and designs to assist in providing a functioning landfill in accordance with good engineering practice and the regulations of the various governmental agencies having jurisdiction over solid waste disposal sites .

Located in the E 1/2 NW 1/4 and the W 1/2 NE 1/4 of Section 29 , Township 1 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P .M. , Weld County, Colorado , and located about 1 1/2 miles Southeast of Erie , Colorado . OWNER AND OPERATOR COLORADO LANDFILL , INC . 6037-77TH AVENUE GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 (303) 356- 2641 C . LYNN KEIRNES , PRESIDENT INTRODUCTION The Operations Plan for the Southwest Weld County Landfill consists of a statement of compliance with minimum standards for design of landfills , the landfill design and construction information, plats , exhibits , and soils data . The operator intends to comply with the stated minimum standards of the Colorado Department of Health in the development of the Southwest Weld County Landfill as follows : 1 . To provide adequate cover for compacted fill to control obnoxious odors , prevent rodent and insect breeding and infestation, windblown debris , and to provide a fire resistant landfill . 2 . To comply with all health laws , standards , rules and regulations of the Department , the Air Pollution Control Commission, and all local applicable zoning laws and ordinances . 3 . To accept no radioactive wastes . 4 . To provide surface drainage to divert surface water away from fill area with the finished area to be sloped to prevent ponding of water over completed fill . Finished area is to blend with surroundings . 5 . To avoid subsurface water pollution through utilization of the clayey shale bedrock compaction to enhance its in-place imperviousness to water. 6 . To handle solid wastes in smallest area possible consistent with handling traffic to be unloaded, and to place the waste in the most dense volume that is practical at the site . 7 . To fence the site with barbed wire fencing as a minimum to provide security and with mesh fencing to prevent waste material and debris from escaping the area . 8 . To collect any windblown debris regularly on a weekly basis , except in times of high winds (in excess of 24 mph) the blown debris will be collected immediately upon subsiding winds . LANDFILL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION Surface Water See Exhibit No . 2 . Drainage area above site- -45 A. Runoff and amount of water, according to design require- ments of Randolph Seaholm, Colorado Water Conservation Board, for 100 year storm and 12 minute time of concentration is : Q = CCAIA where , C = runoff-rainfall coefficient for earth , surface , light vegetation- -0 . 20 CA = 1 . 25 for antecedent rainfall I = 6 . 5 inches/hour for 100 year storm at Erie, and 12 minute concentration A = 45 A. Q = (0 . 2) (1 . 25) (6 . 5) (45) = 73 cfs Use ditch with Section as shown on Exhibit No . 2 , such a section on a 0 . 5% grade will carry 77 cfs ± . Checks and riprap will be provided to control velocity and erosion. Use 48" standard Rd. CMP or the equivalent in pipe arch CMP at access road crossing . 48" round CMP on 0 . 5% grade will carry 73 cfs . There are no surface water facilities such as streams , lakes , irrigation ditches , or lakes adjacent to the site . Hydrologic data shows a maximum precipitation for 1 hour at 100 year frequency of about 2 . 8 inches . The resultant runoff is provided for as shown above and on Exhibit No . 2 . Subsurface Water Drillings show no groundwater . Records from coal mining operations show no groundwater above the mined areas . No groundwater within 300 feet of surface that is recorded . Well Protection There are no recorded wells within 1000 feet of site . Soil Characteristics See attached report from U. S . Soil Conservation Service and letters from Empire Laboratories , Inc . The soil above bedrock is silty, clayey loam with good adhesiveness to provide good workable cover . The bedrock is claystone-siltstone and is , for all practical purposes , impermeable . Access Access to site is good from Interstate 25 , Colorado Highways No . 52 and No . 7 . Roads are paved through any popu- lated areas . See Exhibit No . 1 for location of site with respect to waste generation centers . A new access roadway is being constructed from the inter- section of Weld County Roads No . 5 and No . 6 to the site as shown on the Exhibit No . 2 . See Road Detail , Exhibit No . 2 . On-site roadways are being developed as shown on the attached exhibit to provide efficient traffic flow to and from the fill site and safe ingress and egress from the unloading area. Wastes Handling Waste material will be placed in layers less than two (2) feet deep against the working face of the 20° to 30° slope . Dumping will generally be accommodated at the base of the slope . A tracked bulldozer will be used to even out the material and compact it by passing over the material from three (3) to five (5) times . The fill will be accomplished in cells consisting of one day ' s operation covered by a thin continuous layer, about six (6) inches , of soil also compacted . The adjoining cells will develop an approximate eight (8) foot lift to be covered with soil and again com- pacted. Additional cells will be placed on top of a finished lift to meet the planned finished contours . Two (2) feet of cover soil will be placed on top of the finished fill area and graded to avoid any areas for collection or ponding of surface water . A water truck will be maintained at the site at all times to provide water as needed for compaction and for fire control . Prior to filling operations , the native material will be scarified and compacted to provide a liner for a water tight base on the impermeable bedrock. See soils reports . The liner and compaction thereof must be approved by qualified personnel prior to placement of waste materials . Equipment On-Site Grader (Road Maintainer) Scraper (4-wheel self-loader type) Bulldozer (D7 or larger- -track type with ripper) Water Truck (minimum 3 , 000 gallon capacity) Available (as needed) Scraper ) Items owned and used by Colorado Extra Bulldozer) Landfill , Inc . at other sites . Operator will rent other heavy equipment as needed to maintain adequate cover and compaction. Hours of Operation At least eight (8) hours each day, six (6) days per week. Daytime hours of operation will be adjusted to meet needs of users of landfill- -initial hours will be 8 : 00 a.m. to 4 : 00 p .m. each day . Signs Signs of approved size by Weld County regulations will be posted on the site to provide information regarding operating hours , landfill fees , wastes not accepted , and directions to and from active fill area . Special Wastes No radioactive wastes or hazardous compounds as defined by the U. S . Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Solid Wastes Management Program, and/or Weld County, Colorado , will be accepted . See attached list of nonradioactive com- pounds developed by EPA. Sewage sludges that have been digested and dewatered may be accepted but the Operator reserves the right to limit the quantity to ,be handled. Tires and waste oils will be received, but only in reasonable quantities such that they can be incorporated in the fill without interference of compaction and cover operations . No industrial wastes of liquid type will be received except by special arrangement and only then if the amount of liquid can be handled through evaporation or without undue interference with the solid waste disposal operation. Contingency Eradication The contingency plan for eradication of rodents and insects shall consist of the use of chemicals with the type and application thereof coordinated through the proper officials of Weld County, Colorado . The operator intends to use adequate cover and compaction to eliminate the need for enactment of the contingency plan. Wind Conditions The nearest reliable wind records are at the Jefferson County Airport , some eight (8) miles South of the subject landfill site. A wind rose developed for that airport is included on Exhibit No . 2 . That rose shows the following pertinent information: 9 . 0% of the time , the wind is calm to 4 mph 69 . 9% of the time , the wind is 4 mph to 12 mph 16 . 4% of the time , the wind is 12 mph to 24 mph 1 . 6% of the time, the wind is over 24 mph The following chart shows additional information from the wind rose : • WINDS FROM All Directions 240° -10° 240° - 300° 10° -240° WSW to NNE WSW to WNW NNE to WSW Up to 4 mph 12 . 1% N/A N/A N/A 4 to 12 mph 69 . 9% 33 . 6% 16 . 1% 36 . 3% 12 to 24 mph 16 . 4% 12 . 6% 9 . 0% 3 . 8% over 24 mph 1 . 6% 1 . 6% 1 . 5% 0 . 0% 100 . 0% There are no recorded winds above 24 mph outside of the 240° to 10° directions , while those winds from 12 to 24 mph are in that same area 77% of the time and from 4 to 12 mph, 48% of the time . Therefore , fencing to collect debris should be primarily along the east side of the site and secondarily along the south side . Debris fencing can be a minimum along the north and west sides of the site . See Exhibit No . 2 for fence locations . Fencing The east and south side of the site will be fenced with at least a six (6) foot high fence , with approximately 2 , 000 feet on the east side and 1 , 000 feet on the south side being fenced to a height of eight (8) feet . The remaining two (2) sides of the property will be fenced using a combination of four (4) foot high mesh and perimeter barbed wire fencing . Portable debris fencing will be available at the active fill area to control debris during high wind periods . The fencing shall consist of two (2) inch by four (4) inch steel welded mesh, of the height required at various locations . Post placement will be as shown on Exhibit No . 2 . Recycling No recycling operations are anticipated at this time . Other Utilities The Union Rural Electric Association will furnish electrical power to the office and maintenance building facilities . The Mountain Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company will furnish telephone service . Heating of the buildings will be provided by propane or electricity as required . Subsidence In accordance with the results of geologic and soils studies by Empire Laboratories , Inc . , of Fort Collins , Colorado , the landfill areas will generally be placed out- side the severe subsidence hazard area as shown on Exhibit No . 2 . Additionally, the upper one (1) foot of the bedrock stratum will be scarified and recompacted to at least 95% of Standard Proctor density to preclude as much as possible entry of leachate into the bedrock should further subsidence occur . Maintenance Buildings Maintenance , security, and office buildings will be provided on the site at the locations shown on Exhibit No . 2 . These buildings are placed on the property as operations units to be used during the landfill operations . • • A SAMPLE LIST OF NONRADIOACTIVE HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDS* Miscellaneous Inorganics - Potassium dichromate Lewisite(2chloro- Ammonium chromate - • Selenium ethenyl dichloroar- Ammonium dichromate - Silver azide sine) Antimony pentafluoride _ Silver cyanide Mannitol hexanitrate Antimony trifluoride Sodium arsenate Nitroaniline - Arsenic trichloride Sodium arsenite Nitrocellulose Arsenic trioxide Sodium bichromate Nitrogen mustards Cadmium(alloys) - - - Sodium chromate (2,2',2"trichloro- Cadmium chloride - -.

The soils mentioned in the application are those mapped and identified by the Soil Conservation Service. The landfill boundaries indicated on the site plan map involves a Midway-Shingle complex with a depth to clayey shale ranging from 10-20 inches . The surrounding soils, including an Ulm clay loam and a Wiley-Colby complex, are deep soils that will provide good cover material . The soils on the site are well suited for the intended purpose. 2. The natural drainage way included in the site area has been adequately planned for by providing for a diversion ditch and structure, and returning the diverted water to its original drainage way on the downstream side of the site. 3. There are no irrigation systems or structures that would be affected by the project. 4. The area is not in a 100 year floodplain. The proposed special use of this site has no real conflict with our interests.

Questions directed to environmental concerns were answered positively and Erie was assured plans addressin these aspects were forwarded to agencies with expertise to evaluate them. • 4. Staff concerns were discussed, but Colorado Landfill pressed for a rapi recommendation due to their time constraints. The Commission still maintained severe reservations re- garding the Landfill but, since they did not have access to the documents which would prove or dispel those ` Page 2 reservations, they directed staff to write a response to Weld County that voiced these reservations. It was the assumption of the Planning Commission at that time, that these concerns would be evaluated with respect to information that was not available to the Town. Friday, August 3 , 1979 1 . .The letter to Weld County was written and posted. It listed 13 specific areas of concern. 2. The Board of Trustees due to time limitations did not officially re— view proposal. Friday, September 14, 1979 1 . Weld County Commissioners heard and granted Special Use Permit. Thursday, October 25, 1979 1 . Citizens of Erie brought the issue of the landfill before the Board of Trustees, as well as information not formerly available to the Town. This information regarded the land- fill's impact on the AirPark and per- suaded the Board of Trustees to take further action. Friday, October 26, 1979 ' 1 .

The owner of Colorado Landfill, Inc. as well as his attorney were also present. 4. The Department explained its role in the certification process and what they had evaluated to date. 5 . They had not addressed the problem of the gulls. 6. The Health Department also considered most of Town concerns to be oriented Page 3 towards land use . They indicated that they saw no problems that could not be handled through the mitigatior procedures. - 7. Five items of significance did emerge a. The wind data provided 'Erie was incorrect. b. The Colorado Department of Health would not address runoff from rain falling onto the site it- self. c. No plans to determine whether hazardous material was entering site was, in their opinion, anti- cipated, necessary or required. d. Service area 15 miles, meaning that the proposed site would take slack caused by closures of North Denver landfills. .e.

There are a number of concerns that re- main to be resolved and should be considered in this decision. Specifically, the Town of Erie is concerned with the following: 1. The overall impact of this action on nearby residential uses. The proposed site is within one mile of Erie Air Park. Seven residences are already constructed and it is anticipated that a substantial number will be under con- struction before the end of the summer. 2. The impact of this act on proposed development -- the Land Use Plan designates land to the west of this site as high density residential and the general sketch plan has been approved. The proximity of the proposed land fill to the residential density is not compatible and may impede the successful development of this land. 3. The traffic generated by this proposed use will be sub- stantial and it is anticipated that Erie will be advers impacted by this activity. 4-. The traffic from this activity could present a safety prob- lem since traffic will enter and exit from Highway 7 and heading west it will be necessary for them to pick up speed on a grade (are any provisions suggested for ramps, etc. ?) ?, 5. The amount of dust generated from land fill activity and un- paved roads access the site. 6. Will the noise from heavy equipment and attendant land fill activities carry into Erie? Has this been adequately address- ed? ( eg noise barriers) 7. Do to the topography of the area, Erie will face an adverse visual impact from this operation. As a minimum, there should be some provision to erect a visual barrier eg trees, fencing, etc. as well as a plan for their maintenance. Department of Plal-ling Services 8/3/79 Weld County Page 2 8. The size of the project and its duration is not sufficiently described, 160 acres provide applicant with adequate amount of space to buffer the operation, however, what is actual size of proposed land fill and how long will the operation last? 9. How will land fill actually be operated and reclaimed? Some guidelines which limit size of open area (1/2 acre?) should be included as well as specific guidelines to reclaim the land. These guidelines specify what reclamation measures should be implemented and encompass concerns such as soil erosion caused by wind and water. 10. The possible polution of shallow aquifer down to Coal Creek. 11. The precedent this will create with regard to other property along the highway is encouraging strip highway commercial and marginal industrial. 12. The image this activity will create will be reflected on ' one of many entrances into the community. 13. The service area and whether this Bite will primarily be used by residents in Adams and Boulder County rather than those in Weld County. We request that you consider the above concerns in your decision regarding the land fill and that your decision will reflect these concerns. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us.

Reference: Colorado Landfill, Inc. ,-0 Gentlemen: In our letter of August 3 , 1979, the Town of Erie expressed con- cern over the siting of a landfill within 2,951 feet of its boun- dary. The major area in which conflict appeared, at that time, involved land use - particularly the aspect involving long range comprehensive planning and the incompatibility of the proposed landfill with those plans. All the objections in the letter of August 3 still remain; they are also further strengthened by in- formation not available to Erie or you at the September 14, 1979 hearing. Specifically, there are three areas which were not addressed adequately. They are: 1. Erie Air Park as related to the land fill 2. Scientific facilities as affected by proposed landfill 3. Wind direction Erie views item one as an appropriate subject of inquiry since the town was not aware of the bird problem at the time of its review and since, at the time of hearing, the validity of this concern had not been documented by State and Federal agencies, or addressed by any professional evaluation. Item two is also of concern since the town considers the NOAA experimental facility to be of major importance on the local, regional, state and federal levels, and considers any land use creating an adverse impact on this facility unacceptable. Since this had not been investigated or discussed at the hearing, it is imperative that this issue be satisfactorily resolved. Erie urges you to consider the landfill 's impact on these two items and to afford you information on these topics, Erie Air Park, NOAA and E. N. C. A. R. will provide you with new documented evidence not heretofore con-id-eyed. The third new item of information impacting Erie is wind direction. Wind direction information provided cy Colorado Landfill, Inc. is incorrect and data supplied by NOAA to the Town of Erie show the prevailing wind direction to be southeast. This means that both odors and noise will be carried into Erie, affecting even more the present residents and the future development in a more adverse manner. :eld County Commissioners 11/9/79 ?age 2 Finally, it is our understanding that the work session sched— uled for November 19, 1979 at 4: 00 P.M. to consider Erie 's request to reconvene the special use hearing and revoke the special use permit granted September 14, 1979 will be limited to the Commissioners and their staff with the public permitted to attend but not to participate. The Town of Erie formally requests that it be permitted to testify, as well as other interested parties. Sincerely, Gay e Packard—Seebu rger Circuit Rider Planner for Town of Erie GPS/gs c c: NOAA N.

Box 758 Greeley, Co. 80632 Reference: Colorado Landfill, Inc. xA • Gentlemen: It has come to the attention of the Erie Board of Trustees that on September 14, 1979, the Board of County Commissioners issued a special use permit for a land fill site to be located in Section 29, Township 1 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. This site is located approximately 1/2 mile west of Erie. The Erie Planning Commission in consideration of a referral from Weld County on this subject, 'commented in a negative manner while listing some 13 objections to the selection of this parti- cular site. Since this response was sent to you and since the issuance of the special use permit, additional information has been received which should be considered and/or investigated before a decision regarding this land use is completed. The first information concerns the impact the landfill will produce on experiments being conducted by N.O. A. A. at the test- ing facility near the proposed landfill. This agency was not notified of the impending request and has voiced reservations concerning appropriateness of this land use in the proposed location. Additionally, information obtained from N.O. A. A. indicates in- formation concerning wind direction provided by Colorado Landfill is incorrect and that Erie will be downwind of the landfill for the majority of the day. Finally, the problem that will be created by the presence of seagulls interferring with airport operations has been brought to our attention, and investigation through contacts-with the F. A. A. , the Division of Wildlife and other sources support the contention that this land use is unacceptable in terms of the safety and other hazards it will create.

In particular, I ex- pressed concern about the trucking-in, coal crushing and loading operation planned at the Nagle mine tipple on the adjoining Section 15. Neither NOAA nor NCAR officials had learned of the proposal in time to provide timely input before and during the land use change public hearings. I asked in this letter that NOAA be advised in the future whenever land use changes within three miles of the tall tower were contemplated. We want to have sufficient time to assess possible impact and share our concerns, if any, with you. We were not given any referral or notice on the Colorado Landfill Proposal , Case No. SUP-400:79:22 prior to November 1, 1979. We do appreciate receiving the referral package at that time and knowing our input will be con- sidered by your Board and staff as reasons for additional public hearings on the landfill proposal . We are concerned. The new landfill operation proposed will have adverse affect on scientific activities authorized in the development standards that are part of the BAO rezoning approved by your Board in January 1976. Specif- ically, conflicts in interests occur in these areas: 1. Relative to BA0 Permitted Uses 2E, birds attracted to a landfill operation pose an air safety hazard to instrumented prop and jet propelled air- craft flying patterns centered around the tower out to distances of four to five miles. Research and calibration flights to measure meteorological param- eters and aerosols frequently occur at heights as low as 500 Feet . The land- fill site, only two miles from the tall tower, is well within the typical aircraft patterns already used during several atmospheric science field experi - ments conducted at RAO. 2. Relative to Permitted Uses 2A, delicate, sensitive, optical in- struments on the tower, specifically the Nolenberg probes detecting pollutant particulates , as part of the Denver Brown Cloud Study, and the dewpoint hy- grometers will have their sensitivity degraded or measurements confused by in- - creases in fugitive dust or gaseous emissions not part of the January 1976 re- resentativc atmosphere when rezoning approval occurred. 3 lb 3. Relative to Permitted Uses 211, increases in fugitive dust will affect performance of advanced optical and acoustic remote sensing systems operating on the ground around or in the vicinity of the research tower. These systems, operating like radar, are extremely sensitive to variables in the atmosphere, like dust. Fugitive dust can disguise the true atmospheric back- ground, confusing analysis, and interpretation of observations. The NOAA/NCAR-sponsored Boulder Atmospheric Observatory has been created within the authorized scientific PUP criteria. The BAO has become a national facility serving not only NOAA and NCAR interests, but some 60 universities awarding advanced degrees in atmospheric science, and the private sector, when commercial remote sensor systems are brought to BAO for calibration or inter- comparison with other remote sensors. -- The total capital investment to date associated with the BAO approaches $4 million. - BAO operating programs involve 20-30 NOAA/NCAR scientists at any one time. -- The budget to maintain and operate the tower, instruments, dedicated remote sensor systems, and computer-controlled data acquisition system, ap- proaches $600K annually. We need and request your awareness and sensitivity to land use changes that could affect the integrity of the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory. The public interest can be best served through renewed hearings, to allow NOAA/ NCAR officials opportunity for public presentation and discussion as to why the Colorado Landfill Proposal at the site near the BAO is harmful to previously established BAO interests. NOAA/NCAR officials will be available to you at the November 19 work session, if you choose to invite their participation. Thank you for your concern. Sincerely yours, Robert T.

Weld County Commissioners 915 - 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Carlson: This Division has been informed by Mr. LaVerne Nelson of a hearing of your Board on October 24 of this year to review a landfill designation action proposed by Lynn Keirnes. The Division wishes to point out the Commissioners must consider the recommendation of the Division in this action according to CRS 30-20-104 of the State Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act. At this time, the Division cannot foresee completing the required review by October 24, or that a favorable recommendation will result. The Division 's difficulty arises from the fact that although the applicant has submitted additional information, the proposal to date does not adequately address several of our concerns as listed in our letter of September 19, 1979.

SUP-400:79: 22, Colorado Landfill, Inc. In our letter of August 3, 1979, we expressed concern over the location of the landfill site over abandoned coal mines, and the possibility of seepage of leachata through collapse features to the groundwater table. We just received an engineering geology report by Empire Laboratories, Inc. which addresses this particular situation. According to this report, the initial landfill area lies just north of the "severe subsidence hazard area" delineated by Empire Laboratories. The proposed landfill site lies in an area where subsidence has apparently already occurred due to pillar removal at the close of mining activity. Empire Laboratories considers the potential for additional subsidence in this area to be minimal. Empire Laboratories also considers the subsoils on the site to be relatively impervious, and that the possibility of groundwater contamination due to subsidence would be minimal if the floor of the landfill site is lined with a properly compacted impervious clay liner. This recommendation should be closely followed. We also recommend that personnel of Empire Laboratories supervise the placement of this liner to assure quality control. In addition, we feel that appropriate local and state agencies should be immediately noti- fied if any subsidence is noticed after landfill operations commence. We should also point out that we do not recommend approval of landfill operations in the "severe subsidence hazard area" delineated by Empire Laboratories. We feel that when expansion of the "initial" site is necessary, a separate application should be made at that time. If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office.

SUP-400: 79:22 COLORADO LANDFILL, INC. We have reviewed the site plan and supporting documents for the proposed land- fill near the town of Erie. The site lies about one mile east and topographically above Coal Creek. The only subsurface information submitted to our office was supplied by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, which provides some good informa- tion, but only to a depth of 5ft. Their data indicates that the permeability of the soil is slow, but we feel that percolation tests should be conducted to determine the percolation rate_ of the soils in the landfill area. In addition, no information was supplied regarding the groundwater table in the area. Although we do not suspect that a high groundwater table exists, we rec- ommend that groundwater levels on the site be evaluated. As you are probably aware, the entire proposed landfill site has been undermined. If any subsidence has occurred at the site, or if any collapse features exist, the soils in these features are likely to be quite permeable, and could act as a conduit for leachate to the groundwater table. Therefore, we also recommend that the landfill site be carefully examined for any evidence of past subsidence. If no evidence is found, the potential for future subsidence should also be evaluated. The proposed method of surface water diversion appears to be adequate. We feel that the above recommended investigations should be conducted by quali- fied personnel prior to approval of this special use permit application. We would like to review the results of the above recommended investigations when they become available. If we can be of further assistance at this time, please contact our office.

Dear Ms. Traxler: I have received a letter from La Vern Nelson of Nelson Engineers responding to our recommendations for the proposed landfill. The Colorado Water Conservation Board' s primary concerns in this matter involve diversion and handling of stream flows and the 100-year flood flows. Since the landfill is to occupy an existing intermittent stream channel, we recommended design of diversion structures to handle the 100-year flood flows in our August 9, 1979, letter. In reviewing the revised hydrology calculations used for design of the diversion structures, we feel that the 100-year discharge has been underestimated, primarily due to an overestimation of the Time of Concentration (Tc) . A more commonly accepted method for deter- mining Tc is the nomograph found in the SCS publication, "Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in Colorado. " A copy of this nomograph is enclosed, showing a Tc of 12 minutes. Using this Tc when reading your "duration-frequency-intensity" curve will increase your intensity (I) and probably yield a 100-year discharge between 80 and 120 cfs. This increase in discharge should cause some significant changes in design of the diversion structures. Should you have further questions, I will be happy to respond.

Referral Sent: 7-23-79 Rec: 8-2-79 Dear Ms. Traxler: The proposed landfill is not in a designated floodplain. However, the landfill will occupy and block the natural drainage in the upper reach of a small intermittent tributary to Coal Creek. Permeability in the area is generally slow, runoff is therefore rapid and the erodibility is rated high to moderate, thus water and silt will tend to collect in and on the fill. Coal Creek is a small stream averaging less than 5 cfs of flow most of the year, except during spring runoff and rainstorms. This combination of conditions makes Coal Creek susceptible to pollution problems. Coal Creek has a designated floodplain mapped based upon the 100-year flood (1% chance in any year) . No diversion of water is planned other than around the fill which should'nt interfer with any existing water rights. Therefore, the recommendations are as follows : 1. The policy of the board has been to recommend that diversion structures and ditches of the type and � �— nature proposed be designed to handle the 100-year flows rather than the 25-year flow as currently proposed. The SCS procedure for determining the Colo. Landfill Inc. (cont.d) Page two 100-year flow provides a useful check of results which should be done. 2. During storms some runoff from the side slopes in the immediate area of the fill will occur and seek the natural drainage. Drainage of this type should be handled according to state health department regulations and considered in the methods used for stabilizing and grading the fill. 3. The slope on the out fall of the diversion ditch is severe and should be redesigned if sedimentation in the pond downstream is of concern. 4. Obtain reviews from the Colorado Department of Health and EPA. Should you have any further questions , I will be happy to respond. Very truly yours ,, ,. „-„QG D.

BACKGROUND. a. Bird Strike/Incident Report, FAA Form 3830 (BOB 04-R136), was first .9 , 7 issued for the U.S. aviation public's use 1 January 1966 and reissued January 1968. To date, experience with the form hag indicated that the FAA is now receiving more than twice the . number of bird strike reports than in the past. However, the . i"rs'ill.' . reports are lacking in adequate information on damage to aircraft such as description and extent of damage, cost or estimated cost to repair, aircraft out-of-service time, and estimated loss of revenue, etc. b. Many species of birds frequenting airports are protected by laws. Their status should be determined before any lethal controls are } attempted. Some laws contain provisions for destroying birds r which are causing depredations or are injurious to society. 1 c. Migratory birds, particularly waterfowl, are a hazard to aircraft ., due to their size and weight. In recognition of this potential , "`' hazard, FAA Air Traffic Control and Flight Service Station facilities "�E;' issue advisory information on bird activities when they are reported :bR• or when they have knowledge of such activities. Information given *''' ; to pilots includes the position, species or size of birds if known, and their course and altitude. ab ^ Page 2 Par 3rm."' . 16,:;:'Akz, ;g&: ,iiia •. %:`,10‘4'';',\)..jt„; Li{I^i. .1 :f. , . ,G. �'' .`,'y.ii;' ii.1'(L..,r'µ'''''1;,i Y.. *- ,t:. °' , -I .;';''.:: ,',,t i i .•fir .,r,• aTM4<t s.,sk: ;. . , ,t}rte �Ar .• *, _...x 4•,_.t' a- ,M. f!

Generally speaking, the heaviest spring migration period is t March and April and the heaviest fall migration period October and November. (See Appendix 1, page 1.) II i b. The birds considered of greatest potential hazard to aircraft F` because of large size, abundance, or habit of flying in dense t , 1, flocks are the whistling swans, Canadian geese, blue geese, �_ ' • white-fronted geese, mallards, pintails, gulls, vultures, -A + starlings , and blackbirds. Birds of these species are . �w 1 - considered particularly hazardous during spring and fall �1ii ' d migrations and when they are concentrated in wintering areas. room. 1.','' - Swans make nonstop flights of several hundred miles (Chesapeake • Bay to Lake Erie) at -altitudes up to 6,000 feet. At some ' airports, there are large flocks of sandpipers, horned larks, i blackbirds, tree swallows, longspurs, white pelicans, sandhill d cranes, or other species which could be a problem during certain seasons. c. The four major bird flyway routes within the continental • United States are known as the: ,i • e (1) Atlantic (2) Mississippi yR.S (3) Central ...,, A1': (4) Pacific '1%.-q: ' `t 4..� Par 4 Page 3 1� F� iMH4T . l:+ 54t PPS _ _ ._� �'{ ______ r4a“k,?yrtr $.6f 1�9� � 1 �r.b � .,1,O,1,,1� ,1:^,, .

I d, The heaviest concentration of birds within these flyways occurs during the spring and fall migration. The wintering areas which I accommodate the heaviest concentration of birds are as follows: . • (1) Atlantic - Chesapeake Bay; Back Bay area in Virginia; and the Currituck Sound, Lake Mattamuskeet, area in North Carolina. (2) Mississippi - The Mississippi Valley and the South Louisiana marshes along the Gulf of Mexico, (3) Central - Along the Missouri River and Gulf Coast of Texas. (4) Pacific - In the general area of Lake Tahoe and the `;*} Sacramento Valley area in California, ' > e, Whistling swans are our largest common migratory waterfowl which, j, during the migration, concentrate in a narrow and fairly well- defined path passing close to the airports of Duluth, Milwaukee, 1 w ,t, { Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. f, In the spring, swans migrate over the Chesapeake Bay, the lower <�, ,' Susquehanna River, then overland to Lake Erie through Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan to the Canadian T Arctic, Some birds wintering on Great Salt Lake migrate northwest to the Pacific Coast, then up the coast to Alaska; others migrate ' � b northeast through Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to reach the breeding grounds. The fall flights are made over approximately the same routes, • r , • 1 g. Geese are considered the greatest hazard to aircraft because of 1 their abundance, large size, occurrence in large flocks, relatively slow flight, and high altitude of flight. Of the 400,000 to 500,000 �;� .,,* Canadian geese that migrate between Hudson and James Bays and the ' Mississippi Valley, over 100,000 pass through Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin. In migrating between Horicon Marsh and southern Illinois, the bulk of these geese pass about 25 miles west of . f Milwaukee's municipal airport and 50 miles west of Chicago O'HareAaweig- i Airport. At times, stray flocks pass over or very close to these 1Y: airports, { I% r Fl h. Canadian geese migrate over several broad fronts. Atlantic Coast , ' :- a birds migrate up Chesapeake Bay, cross to Lake Erie, and then fly Sab'`.. north. Another flight goes up the Mississippi River and over the , a • Great Lakes north to their breeding grounds.

Snow geese and blue geese in numbers totaling 400,000 to 500,000 1momm• 0, move down the Mississippi Valley on such a broad front in fall that ' 1.; they are likely to pass over or near most of the airports in the Valley. They concentrate at several places along the Illinois, 1 Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers but seldom in numbers over 25,000. •.-. • '° When they leave their gulf coast wintering grounds in March, the r�' ; ,d bulk of the population moves in masses gradually moving up the ' - Missouri River Valley and southwest Iowa. The movement of several hundred thousand birds to the Missouri River Valley north of St. Joseph, Missouri, and their gradual movement up this Valley creates conditions hazardous to aircraft in the vicinity of airports at Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City, and Sioux Falls. _ - e j. Lesser snow geese migrate over a broad front through the Mississippi r River Valley with the center of the spring flight passing over , ii Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota. The full flight spreads further east, reaching into �'4`'i 'i Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Birds that winter in the Central ,` i i'hP: � Valley of California migrate through Tule Lake in northern California, Malheur Lake in Oregon, and along the coast of British Columbia. ' r ; k. Greater snow geese migrate almost nonstop from wintering grounds to breeding grounds. They migrate northward along the AtlanticL';,...,,4.. Coast and then inland up the Hudson and Connecticut Rivers to a stopover on the St. Lawrence, at Cap. Tourmente, Quebec. i { 1. Lesser snow geese fly at an estimated altitude of 3,000 feet. AT"ly Greater snow geese have been reported between 800 and 1,500 feet per- .$2. and probably go much higher. t m. ' Mallard and pintail are the most common North American duck; but t more specifically, they concentrate in very large numbers in the :1 Mississippi Valley and in the Central Valley of California. Each migration season about 7,000,000 to 15,000,000 ducks pass through the Mississippi Valley; 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 in the Central Valley F;,s' of California; and 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 migrate through the ;�, ,W.

Municipal attention should be taken to fill, level, and clear ~i, airports and adjacent land which creates bird refuges and increases bird bird hazards by providing feeding, bathing, loafing, and nesting • ' -. places. Birds are attracted to garbage dumps, food and fish �i FL- processing wastes, feed pens and piggeries, ponds, sloughs, swamps, man-made lakes and reflecting ponds , sewage lagoons and outfalls, seed and fruit producing plants and trees, tall grasses, reeds, and fie' shrubbery. Such areas should be eliminated from the airport vicinity ' !'4. -', by municipal pressure and influence; by relocation; or by draining, leveling, and surfacing with materials unattractive to bird life • �' such as gravel. Airport outleases to farmers should stipulate •`•' e', crops least attractive to birds, and cooperation of food and waste ',;0'-4, ' processors should be actively solicited by airport management.

Destruction or scaring of bird life is not a true solution as it is contrary to efforts of wildlife preservation and is only' I temporarily effective due to constant bird migrations. This does not get to the basic problem. The solution is to make the airport unattractive to bird life. b. For continued research and test programs to improve present ;+:• aircraft and engine airworthiness standards and to allow the FAA to provide helpful guidance on this subject, it is essential that the FAA have adequate information on how bird activities , ' aare affecting aviation. All segments of civil and military , ' aviation are urged to furnish the FAA with all bird strike information requested on FAA Form 3830 and to place special • emphasis on completing the damage and cost items. . The FAA .• Form 3830 is available at most FAA facilities. 8. HOW TO OBTAIN THIS PUBLICATION.

PURPOSE. This order provides guidance concerning the elimination or monitoring of open dumps, waste disposal sites, and sanitary landfills on or in the vicinity of airports. • 2. DISTRIBUTION. This order is distributed to Washington headquarters and Regional Airports, Flight Standards and Air Traffic offices to division level; all Airports District Offices; and Flight Standards and Air Traffic field facilities. 3. BACKGROUND. Garbage dumps, sanitary landfills or whatever title is used for this type of operation attract rodents and birds, erodes the airport environment, and where the dump is ignited, creates smoke - all which are undesirable and are potential hazards to aviation. While the chance of an unforeseeable, random bird strike in flight will always exist, it is nevertheless possible to define the high-risk • conditions within fairly narrow limits. Those high-risk conditions exist in the take-off, climb-out, approach and landing areas on and in the vicinity of airports. The increasing number of bird strikes reported on aircraft has become a matter of concern to the FAA and to airport • management. Various studies and observations have resulted in the conclusion that sanitary landfills are artificial attractants to birds. Accordingly, landfills located in the vicinity of an airport may be incompatible with safe flight operations. Those conditions that are not compatible must be eliminated, to the extent practicable. Airport. owners need guidance in making this decision, and the FAA must be in a position to assist. Some airports are not under the jurisdiction of the community or local governing body having control of land usage in the vicinity of the airport. In these cases, the airport owner should use its influence and best efforts to close or control landfill opera- , tions within the general vicinity of the airport. 4. ACTION. a. Sanitary landfills located within the areas established for an airport by these guidelines as set forth in paragraph 5 of this order should be closed. If a sanitary landfill is determined as • Distribution: WRAS/AT/FS-2; FFS-0, FAT-0, Initiated By: AAS-680 FAS 1 (Normal) I.' 5200. 5 10/16/74 • 411 incompatible land use under guidelines of paragraph 5 and cannot be r closed within a reasonable time, it should be designed and operated • - in accordance with the criteria and instructions issued by the Environmental Protection Ejgency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and other such regulatory bodies that may have applica- ble requirements. FAA should advise airport owners against locating, permitting or concurring in the location of a landfill on or in the vicinity of airports. b. The operation of a sanitary landfill located beyond the areas • described in paragraph 5 and designed in accordance with the guide- lines identified in the foregoing paragraph must be properly super- vised to insure compatibility with the airport. If• at any time the landfill, by virtue of its operation, presents a potential hazard to aircraft operations, the owner shall take action to correct the situation or terminate operation of the landfill. Failure to take corrective action could place the airport owner in noncompliance with the commitments under a grant agreement. ' .+n inspection of current operations at existing landfill sites which have a reported potential bird hazard problem will periodically be made and evaluated. A Bird Hazard Group formed under Order 5200.4 c:atcc'. 11/20/73 could appropriately be available for consultation regarding this activity. Should it be found that birds attracted to the landfill site do in fact constitute a potential hazard to aircraft, the condition will be reported to AAT-430, National Flight 1111 Data Center (NFDC) , for possible inclusion in the Airman's Informa- - tion Manual. The appropriate FAA office should immediately evaluate the situation to determine compliance with the grant agreement and take such action as may be warranted under the guidelines as prescribed in Order 5190.6, Airports Compliance Requirements. d. This order does not apply to landfills used exclusively for the dis- posal of rock and earth. e. This order is not intended to resolve all related problems, but is specifically directed toward eliminating sanitary landfills in the proximity of airports, thus providing a safer environment for air- craft operations. f. The airport operations' manual should require landfill site inspec- tions at least semimonthly for those landfill operations that cannot be closed to assure that bird population is not increasing. • Page 2 10/16/74 5200. 5• IIIg.

Sanitary landfills will be considered as an incompatible r use if located within areas established for the airport through the application of the following criteria: } a. Landfills located within 10,000 feet of any runway used or planned to be used by turbojet aircraft. • t II b. Landfills located within 5,000 feet of any runway used only by piston' type aircraft. c. Landfills outside of the above perimeters but within the conical surfaces described by FAR Part 77 and applied to an airport will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. d. Any landfill located such that it places the runways and/or approach and departure patterns of an airport between bird feeding, water, or roosting areas. 'Y/:c. `Y,CVth WILLIAM V.

Box 75.3 Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Carlson: The Boulder Atmospheric Observatory was established with Weld County Commissioners support through rezoning to Scientific PUD, on Section 16-TIN-R78W, 2 miles east of Eric. The BAO is a joint venture of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with Research Laboratories headquartered in Boulder, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) , located in Boulder. Measure- ments by sensitive instruments at eight levels on the 300-meter tall tower, and by some ground-based remote sensing systems, primarily optical and infrared radar systems, may be adversely affected by airborne particulates, such as fugitive dust and coal emission particulates. We have only recently learned of the Eagle Strip mine proposal two miles east of the CAD. Because that plan provides for coal to he trucked to the Eagle mine, situated on Section 15 adjoining BAO to the east, to be crushed, screened, and reloaded, we are concerned that coal dust emissions from that activity may cause us some problems, if not controlled. A good part of tho time gentle breezes in that area do come from the southeast. At the time the BAO site was selected, the Eagle mine on Section 15 was becoming less active with known plans to shut down. Since the Eagle mine site is part of the total Eagle Strip plan requiring a Special Use Permit, we wish we had known of the plans for renewed operation at the Eagle Mine, and had had an opportunity to express impact on the BAO operations both before and at public hearings. The Colorado Board of Health has agreed to specify for us estimates of coal particulate emissions from the several processes at the Eagle mine. We will be concerned about any apparent expansion of operation above the so-called normal level that was "grandfathered" in the Special Use Permit review. The BAO is an engineering, instrument calibration, and atmos- pheric research facility. BAO scientists need to be aware of any plans comin before you or your staff, that may change the atmospheric qb a environment within a three-mile radius of the BAO from conditions that existed in January 1976, the month the rezoning for BAO was approved. We appreciate your past interest in, and support of, this unique national research facility located in Weld County. Please inform us immediately when you become aware of possible environmental changes that might affect the BAO research program. Letters and telephone calls about such changes should be addressed to: Dr. J.

IN, R. 68 West Weld County. This research facility will be U.S. Government property. Section 16 is also the site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) U.S. Department of Commerce 300 meter (984 feet) research tower. The Section 16 site is commonly referred to as the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO). UCAR and NCAR are seriously opposed to the major (160 acres) landfill planned in Section 29, T. IN, R 68 West. The reasons for opposition are as follows: A. On 8 March 1976, the Board of County Commissioners (Weld County) authorized and certified a Scientific Planned Use Development for the NOAA-NCAR facilities on Section 16. The landfill opera- tion now planned for Section 29 (less than 2 miles away) is inconsistent with the Scientific Planned Use Development of Section 16. B. The landfill will degrade the scientific objectives for the facilities in Section 16. Concerning the scientific program at the BAO, from the beginning NCAR has been enthusiastic about the research that can be undertaken at this unique national facility. Already a bench mark boundary layer study (Phoenix, 1978) has been accomplished at the BAO. In addition, an international intercomparison of low-level sounding systems as an initiative of the World Meteorological Organization was accomplished this past August and September. The site is presently free of major local sources of gases other than that caused by tilling of the fields and traffic on unimproved roads. The National Center for Atmospheric Research is Operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Mr. 0. Stoddard S November 9, 1979 -2- The volume of traffic on unimproved roads will increase greatly if the landfill is approved because the last mile to the landfill must be driven on an unimproved road. Moreover, trucks returning from the landfill will often carry mud onto Weld County Road 8 only 3/4 mile from our proposed building, and we will have a major, close-in secondary source of dust to contend with. Dust degrades the performance of certain, optical-type instruments on the tower and they require more frequent cleaning to maintain them at peak performance. Moreover, the significant amounts of dust generated by landfill traffic and earth handling at the landfill , and any methane or other gases emanating from the land- fill , under appropriate winds will preclude the collection of representative air pollution data. The BAO will attract and support important atmospheric research of importance to Colorado and the nation, unless the surroundings change in such a way as to seriously degrade such use. The planned landfill will be a major step toward such degradation. C. The landfill operation will attract large quantities of birds. This is fact, not speculation. NCAR operates U.S. Government- owned aircraft in low-level flights over and around the Section 16 facilities. The birds attracted by the landfill operation will pose safety hazards to aircraft operation. We consider this hazard significant and want the Colorado Department of Health to be fully aware of our concern. For reference regarding bird hazards to aircraft, see FAA Regulation 5200.5 dated 16 October 1974 and Federal Register Volume 44 No. 179 (page 53459) dated September 1979. (copies attached) D. The entire area along roads RD 8 (which is the South border of Section 16 and nearly adjacent to the NCAR-planned facility) and RD 5 (which is the West border of Section 16) will become degraded due to heavy traffic, and the inevitable accumulation of waste materials that spill from trash-hauling vehicles. We are deeply concerned that the investment in our research facility will de- preciate because of its proximity to a road littered with trash and garbage. In summary, we are seriously opposed to the landfill in Section 29. We believe the information summarized above constitutes new information which the Department of Health should consider. We would have presented this information earlier had we known about the lanned landfill . S nc rely ours, 44„), Job W.

ID ' III// Tay • SYSFENIS 13 November, 1979 Honorable Norman Carlson Chairman, Weld County Commissioners Ti7eld County Centennial Center Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Carlson: This letter is to support my previously expressed opposition to the proposed landfill site in Southwestern Weld County, near Erie, Colorado and the Tri-County Airport. Bird hazards resulting from landfill sites near public use airports are clearly expressed in the Federal Aviation Agency' s Advisory Circular 5200 . 5 and the Environmental Protection Agency' s Criteria for Classification of Solid waste Disposal Facilities and Practices , published in the Federal Register of September 13, 1979 . The concerns of the Federal Aviation Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency over Sanitary Landfills located near public use airports can be immediately supported by a visit to any of the regional landfills in the Denver, Boulder, or Greeley area. Observation and studies conducted by the FAA have resulted in the conclusion that sanitary landfills are artifical attractions to birds . Accordingly, landfills located in the vicinity of airports constitute a hazard to safe flight operations . Included with this letter are copies of recent photographs taken at the North Denver Landfill (64th & Huron) , the Boulder/Marshall Landfill , and the Greeley/Milliken Landfill sites , which document unusually high bird population associated with all of these operations . Those in favor of establishing a landfill at the proposed site, are quick to point out that a landfill previously existed nearby. What they fail to clarify is that the previous activities were small in nature, less than 20 acres total while the proposed PO BOX 3602 BOULDER, COLORADO 80307 TELEPHONE• 303-499.8658 Honorable Norman Carlson Weld County Centennial Center Page - 2 - 1 4 regional site will contain 160 acres and could expand to 320 acres . They further fail to point out the new site is over 3 , 000 feet closer to Tri-County Airport. The distance from the airport is crucial in determining the degree of negative impact. The small Erie community dump was closed by Weld County nearly six months ago, thereby eliminating the negative impacts . To reopen a larger landfill, much nearer the Tri- County Airport would be in violation of EPA and FAA guidelines and would seem to represent a major disregard for the safety and health of the flying public at Tri-County Airport. In view of the above facts , I respectfully urge the Certificate of Designation be denied and further consideration of a landfill at this site be dismissed. Sincerely ( I :1 Willir ` am Z.

The first factor to consider is the, "effect that the solid waste dis- posal site and facility will have on the surrounding property uses and values, the wind and climatic uses". Erie has reviewed the Iropcsed landfill site from this perspective.

This land has experienced rapid development the preceeding two years. Erie, through its comprehensive plan and other regulatory mechanisme, has planned and promoted this development. The table on the following page capsulates, in financial terms, the current and anticipated rate of growth and development. Because of this and ethsr information, it is Eriets ,position that the pro- posed land use is incompatible with the present land uses us well as future development plans. As such, it should be denied. Specifically, Erie would like to address the immediate and intermediate impacts that this activity will have-on the development occurring in the south one-half of Erie. This area now contains Erie Air Park, industrial land for aviation related activities jpas wel.i.,as land for other indust- rial and commercial uses. It also contains the Erie Airpark subdivision and a large area of land identified for high density residential use. The Erie Board of Trustees have approved the preliminary sketch plan for this property and the development calls for a mit( of housing tyres with a overall density not to exceed 17 dwelling units per acre. This proposal, as well as the present development will he adversely impacted if this landfill activity is approved. r' rte. e 2.

L. and N.C.a.R. in the immediate vicinity of the site. This investment and future expansion will be seriously jeopar— dized by approval of this activity. 3e Currently, Erie .sir Park contains t-,o raved runwazTs; one can accomodate turbo jet. The air ptrk is the largest airrort in r'leld County, being larger than the ,3ld County Munciral 'drport. Erie Air Fark has the potential to significantly upgrade its facilities and expand its oper- ation. This can only occur, however, if incornp..tible land uses are prevented from encroaching upon the airport. Erie Fits rrevented this from occurring through lromulg_,ting zoning and subdivision regulations which address this concern. However, the cooperation of abutting jur • - isdictions is also neccessary since some of the land neccessary to maintain the airpark's 'stfety and integrity is. outside Erie's muncipal boundaries. Erie believes that tie proposed landfill will prevent the reasonable and needed (see D.R.C.C.G. ,Lirrort rejort) development of the air park. It is also Erie's position that the landfill's impact will be confined not only to the airpark but will advereely impact the Town's financial re- sources. This and other impacts will then combine to negatively affect the general health, saftey and welfare of Erie residents. The foll wing examples illustrate and Are indictative of the impacts that will accompany this landfill siting: 1. The landfill will -attract large bird populations. This will create unneccessary, dangerous aircraft hazard problems. Further- more, damage as a result of a bird strike would not be necce;:s- airly be confined to the pilot and plane but cause damage to persons and property in Erie itself. (Pore testimony will be presented on this topic by other interested rirties). This aspect of the problem created by the landfill is of direct interest to Erie since it will i.troduce an unacceptable safety risk that will impact the entire town. 2. The l=andfill will ddver ,. 7y affect the general welfare of Erie by artifically reducing property vvlues. This will occur in "original" Erie zs -ell as in the presently develorfng reas. By way of exav'ple the following is an -xntlysis of the landfiil 's impact on the Erie -sir lark subdivision: The subdivision contains I! ! lots. l X1 area sold and seven solar homes have been erected to date. Eac�hhome• is located on a five acre lot and range in value from ' to dollars. Both the town and developer anticipate that the subdivision will be built out by 1981. The siting of the landfill in its proposed location will prevent this since its introduction will significantly.modify the conditions under which the deve— lopment of this subdivision must take place. First, economic theories as well as real estate principles subst.:in Erie's contention that residences located in close proximity to a landfill decrease in value, as well as undeveloped land. Therefore, both lots and homes will depreciate in value while, - simultaneously, becomimg more difficult to mzrket. Second, this obstacle, when coupled with the unique charac' eristics of the subdivision, raises the issue of whether the subdivision can be developed :At all. This is because there are a number of relationships them connect the successful development of the 4. • subdivision with the disapproval of the proposed landfill. First, the character of the subdivisionand, therfore, its potential market is unique. The subdivision is oriented towards people who are interested in general aviation, who own aircraft, and who need frequent access to an airstrip. Individuals within this potential pool of buyers are know- ledgable about aviation safety. They will know about the safety hazar .s associated with landfills and they will be aware of F.,a.ti• regulations addressing tl ose hazards. :pith this information, the Erie air hark would not he an optimal area in which to locate. Second, this is further compounded by reducing the pool of potential buyers to t! ose that are environmentally oriented and willing to integrate solar systems into their building designs. This means that the • potential residents will be both interested in aviation and environmentally sensitive to their surroundings. ip.ith this information it is then logic al to assume that the subdivion , }mist access tosafe flying facilities and ma,-irrt-fain an envir- onment which has not been degraded by excessive oilers, litter, noise, fugitative dust, traffic congestion and n_eg it i ,e visual irnpcts. The landfill, if approved, will create these very condition: It will prevent the succersf>>l complet— ion of the subdivision. In turn, this will mean th-.t Erie will e.(i erience •,a decline in its tax base where a substantial incre_.r-e :;,as projected. In addition, tie t partial development of this subdivision will generate a demand for services disportionate to the revenue generated by the development itself. The economic loss that result will he severe. It will result in the reduction of services ttroughout the town and constitute a severe drain on Erie's financial resources. It will directly affect the general welf ,re of Erie residence: . 3. The proposed landfill would, if .approved, provide an insur- mountable obstacle to, future expansion and development of airport facilities. any extensive improvements to the existing airpark would involve the use of F.a.ra. funds. Since the landfill will be arproximately 5000 feet from the airstrip, and since F.a.a. regulations prohibit them within a distance of 10,000 feet, Erie Air lark will be ineligible for federal funding. This will have both a direct affect both on Erie and the region. Erie, again, will lose a significant amount of revenue. The region will lose a needed addition to its limited number of general aviation airports. Currently, the D.R.C.O.G. studies show that the present existing airports are at or above capacity. Statistics slow th-at there is a critical need to expand the existing airport facilities as well as to construct new .airports, if the Denver region is to ' e - able to meet its projected demands. Erie Air hark, because of its size and location, is a vital component of this air network. Any land use which creates a safety problem and 5. reduces the efficient functioning of this air park is un- acceptable and jeopardizes tise regional as well as local goals and objectives.nith reference to local concerns, in addition to those just mentioned, the airport currently has the car acity to accomodate \'' tiedowns, 11"Fof which are in use. The stfety hazards emanating from this landfill will • discourage current aircraft owners from maintaining their craft it this site as well as discouraging prospective tie- downs from locating in the air park. This will have a direct financial impact on the airy ark operations and an impact on general welfare concerns raised etrlier. 4. The impact of this landfill on existing industry and pro- jected industrial growth .nd develop-lent is unaccef table. In the former instancd, Zrie bz Iie s that the 1 tndfill f revent istirlg indu:. Lry to efficiently s er J+e. In the lit ter i ee, ;pie ,_ i v , tl .t it 1•i1 he unable. t . ..ttr_ct f,te t of i ,.11:, r,, it f ires. Currently, tl ore ..re two rajor industries in our industrial are .. The first business, Castle Ccrperut,ion, is a cabinet manu- facturing company with r rot erty -a.nd assets totaling'' hn environmentally oriented firm, Castle Corporations ori- ginally selected the Erie site for its rural atmosphere, the site orientation and environmental amenities neccessary for it to successfully implement and promote a number of innovative programs it has undertaken. The success of these programs is derendent, in part. on maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. The biil'ing is oriented to take advantage of wind and climatic conditions for hetting and cooling rid ccnt.a✓ins 1 it e ()fen treas. It will be p trticul trly sus, ectitle to cders, noise, and litter carried from the landfill site to the factory. Erie through past actions has recognized the validity of these concerns and has denied rezoning and special use prorosals which would have created these impacts. The second industry,, a tuiz-grm�rrts} aero systems;, haveIpropertytbuildings and equipment excess of r' :1 turbo jet is used in the course of their business oferations. This business will be impacted, in a manner similar to Castle Corp. but, in addition, it Yrillalso cre Lte a safety ha,z trd that will interfere ,-it1 t! ej r c, '-r I Brie cn hseizes that these ,len. 1- i..�i,l:-tr1: ,.�, tie .�t- tCet't .1_r1 •.,'k, .re the keystone to Erie's future development plans. The 1Lr_dfill will prevent the implementation of ,htese plans. All of the items just discussed illustr tte sf ecific inst inces of how Erie will he adversely _impacted by this f roposal. The propc sed landfill will affect the town in this manner because of the activities that are intrinisic to the , aintainance and operation of the landfill. These activities, create visual, noise and oder Pollution, litter, fugitive dust traffic congestion, and in this instance, a safety haz rd created by the ltrge bird Populations attracted to landfills. Briefly, the following 6. • discusses how, se,. ' ately, these „averse impacts will affect the town. xs stated earlier, the visual imp tct of tl is of er ttion on the Town of Erie will he substantial. The elevation between the site and town is almost negligible with the homes situtted in Erie airpark subdivision (since they tend to be sited on the tops of knolls whbnever possible) slightly higher. This means that the closest r;sideritial sites are • either level with or higher than the proposed landfill site. Therefore, mitigation measures such as solid screen fencing, landscaping etc, can only he minimally effective and that the visual impact will be severe. Residents will daily view heavy earth moving equipment, the dust created by earth mavervent, the litter and trash in the dump itself, the litter and trash blown outside the site into Erie, and the traffic €enerated the the activity itself. These items cannot be concealed. They are not visually or aesthetically ple1 sing, they create health and safety prom- lems, and will discourage prospective residents of-Erie from residing in themTown. It is Erir's position that the locating of a landfill within 3000 feet of a subdivision will create a sufficient visual impact to discourage any prudent hnyer.,from investing pproxirnately 200,000 dollars neccessary to erect a home at this location. The next item of concern is the noise that will Tenerife from the landfill. It is anticipated that, given the ntture of landfills and the fact that the wind will frejuently blow into Erie, that residents of Erie will subjected to the contineous drone of heavy equipment .19'1 as the noise caused by, .-Additional traffic going to and from the site. Erie believes that some of this traffic will use Erie streets. This means that landfill traffic will past residential are Ls and, in particular, Erie schools. This will createian unacceptable level of noise within the town.as well as unacceptable levels immediately adjacent to Erie. Erie also anticipates that litter caused by trash escaping from packers, trucks and cars will create a substantial problem and contribute to the visual pollution along our streets and highways. Prrsvar, the problem of debris and litter blowing from the landfill into the Town will constittutetthenicst serious aspect of this problem for the Towm of Erie. Currently, mitigation plans propose to gather blowing trash upon the subsidence of high wind periods; this is to include trash off site, if it originated from the landfill. The difficulties with this mitigation procedure are several. First, no information as to the number of employees available for this task is provided, no specific conditions under which this condition exists is delineated, and it is not clear how these trash removers will be able to conclusively determine the originat un of trash that is now located off site. Since the wind frequently blows into 1T,rie, Erie anticilutes that it will he the recil ient of a substantial amount of tract', litter tud 6ehris. The mitigation measure; 1 rol osed by Colorado Landfill Inc. cannot he successful for ,"ore than a very short distance from its site. Therefore, this will create an additional problem for the Town. Erie lacks the financial resources and manpower to deal with this problem, and if the landfill is lipproved, it will create a contin- eous problem for the Town. It will, in addition to health concerns, create a poor visual image of the Town and contribute to a rerieral decline in property erty- values. 7.1 • Cders emanating] from the site are tOso of concern to Erie. Landfills generate, amcng other things, meti vie. The unpleasant oder which will be carried into the Town when certain wind conditions prevail are completely unacceptable. Erie realizes that procedures will be instituted to reduce, somewhat, the amount ghat will be generated. However, these procedures cannot 'eliminate this problem and the problem remains, therfore. • a serious one. Following up on a different aspect of the same concern, Erie notes, that the presence of thee unplea ant oders also means the presence of. gases, that_ are volitile. This greatly increases the probability of fire. It is our understanding that the Dacono Fire District reviewed this proposal and found that it posed no difficulty in servicing this activity. Erie takes partibal exception to that assessment. The Dacono Fire District per se' won't be presented with any difficulties. This, howe-er, is because the Erie Volinteer Fire Department is responsible for this particular site. Erie does not have the manpower or resources neccessary to take on this resronsibility. Therfore, the landfill will further threaten the conm4i_1Ly 's welfare and safety. Even more obliquly, the gases generated from this landfill have the potential of interfering with N.G.A,a. test results that are designed to determine the comUosition of Denver's 'Brown Cloud' and ultimately effect public health. any activitiy jeopardizing these efforts also threaten the health of Erie residents. Fugitive dust is another fcrter which will adversely impact the Town of Erie. The operation of this site will require that large amounts of be moved on a daily basis. This will generate large amounts of fugitative dust which will not be reduced by mitigation measures. It is our understanding that Colorado Landfill Inc. can obtain the neccessary emission permits to conduct this activity but we point out that this permit is bised, in part, upon shifting and increasing through asmin- istrative procedures, the location of where it will be permissible for prli ution to take place. Therefor , Eric' hill be subject to additional pollution which is environmentally objectionable and could create additional safety hazards for the airpark. It also,, in line with the previous comments concerned wit.hN.C,;,t;a., interfere with there equipment instrumentation aridthereby further impact the health of Erie and the region. Erie anticipates thO'in addition to the previously voiced concerns, t} at unacceptable levels of traffic will result from this landfill. The projected volumes, when correlated to the number of available sites elsewhere appears .ybr,Lrmally low. hoever, even granting that the figures suiplied ire correct, when the access to the site is examined it is apparent that the road system is completely inadequate to handle -- the proposed traffic. Unpaved roads are completely unsuitable and will contribute to the already present fugitive dust problem. Road mcintain- ance efforts are inadequate and no detailed provisions for heavy (and we believe likely) increases in traffic volume have been made. Further- more, if this is a twenty year project, it appears likely that Erie will 8. receive a 1 rol ortionately larger increase of traffic using its streets and that this will create ,n addil, i renal financial burden for the town. All of the preceeding information that has been provided has confined itself to the irmediate and int-.rmedi tte impacts that this landfill will create. In vdli_ticn to Uose concerns, long term il,,pacts should also be considered. `;pie considers these impacts more potentially ser— ious than the short term impacts previously discussed. These core-'rns will he addressed within the context of C.R.S. 30-2u-101I (3) that states, "the Board of County Commissioners shall require that the report which shall be submitted by the applicant . . . be reviewed and a recomr:rendation as to approval or•cliaapproval made by the department and shall be satisfied the the I rol osed solid wastes d i.sposal ss and facility conforms to the coma reliensive land ,ice plan, if any." ,;eld County has a Comprehensive Flan. That plan in numherons instances emphasizes its relationship to small towns and Wolf. County's comittrrent to assist the towns in implementing and actualizing their planning goals and objectives. The cr' prehensive plans ofi tho small t os,n: in ,eld County function, in effect, As an ' xten ion of the field County Ceml rel eneive Ilan. In a review of the County Comprehensive Plan, as well is the Erie Comprehensive Plan, Erie has found that the pro- posed land use activity is in inec^'i rttihl- .:4th the stated goals and objectives of both documents. In the following discussion, Erie will first discuss where and how this incompitibility occurs within the Weld County plan and how this, in turn, relates to the Erie Comprehensive Flan. From this discussion it should be apparant that the two planning documents are compatible with one another and thatboth show the propoed land use to be incornputibleirith -LE : County and To'-n'r ;t Wted Ecals and objectives. J yThe initial chapter of the !geld County Comprehensive plan wl act 'iscusses, among other things, the nature of the plan, clearly states that: 1. "urbanization can best be served by existing muncipalities" 2. "urban development will inevitably occur . . . and that this Comprehensive Plan ortlines a course of action which assures urban growth in accordance with the concepts and desires of each existing municipality." 3. the goal is to achieve a ,"controlled expansion of our existing r unicir r,lities into vrel_l p 1 -nned, col crert core un- ities t l Lt ':)lend into And cc mrleme t Lie ,erc ' •i ; ric' it yirc i:, t. " ;rle ii ' orts thee ( ci:::',l s. It . crt:' 1 1 e i e . ' h •t urh aiizution is hest served by existing] r.:uncil aliti-:.. lici ev:-r, if th i _L ' c occur, land uses which . ou]d prevent towns from accomoditing this urbanization must be prohibited. The proposed landfill is a use that is not com- patible with adjacent urbanization. Erie also supports Weld County's policy which promotes growth in accordance with the concepts and desires of each muncipality. Erie's concepts and desires for future growth and development are stated in the Erie Comprehensive Ilan. Friefly, the plan anticipates that the Town will accomodate a population of approx- imately 10,000, as well as a proportionate share of commercial and in- dustrial activities. Accordingly, the Plan delineates the areas that 9. are to accomodate these activities. In many instances, development has already commenced. The direction s;]ected for future expansion and development, as well as for srecific land uses were chosen on the basis of many considerations. Some of these are environmental constraints i.e. subsidence areas, ridge lines, flood plains- financial considerations such as the tax base, ability to provide services as well as other socio-econ- . omit concerns. In addition, the Erie Comprehensive Plan assumes the support of 'geld County in implementing and realizing this plan. This, logically, would include active involvement on the Tart of Weld County to insure the land uses incompatible with the Erie Flan, but outside its jurisdictional boundaries did not tireaten, impede or prevent the I lan's successful i pler.entation. The landfill will clearly affect the successful irnclementation of the Comprehensive Ilan and tl is will be discussed in more depth at a liter point. The next goal stated in the Meld County Comprel ensive Ilan is to achieve </ planned communities wi ich ccmirlerient the surrounding agri_cultural environment. This too is suiperted by Erie and complements the goal just discussed. The Erie Plan anticipates, on the basis of this policy, that '.;eld County will attempt to maintain this agricultural environ- ment. 'i'he proposed landfill will drastically alter this environment. Meld County's Ilan tacitly acknowledges this when in discussing the placement of this and similar uses it permits them to locate in agri- cultural areas because of the.fr basic incompatibility with other uses i.e. not because of their compatibility with agricultural uses. This agricultural environment will be altered in the following ways. The landfill will attract large numbers of vehicles to the area, it will substantially contribute to noise. oder and visual pollution. It will create litter and road maint-lin4nce problems, and it will increase the pressure to convert adjacent agricultural land into land that may be used for other marginal industrial enterprises that are also incompat- ible with agricultural and residential uses, A waste disposal site cannot be anticipated or expected to locate into an agricultural environment adjacent to a rapidly developing town under the po]icies as stated in the weld County Plan. It is not F ossiple for it to blend in and o:gplement the urban and agricultural usestild will function .As a defi'iite impedi- ment to ti / implementation of County and Town planning efforts. The second char 1 ;r ef the Meld Plan establishes the foun ' t ion f ni which to mike land use decisions. Basically, the plan advocates growth around existing towns in order to pre serve agricultural land, and to T_ro'int ; ' t e efficient use of urban land. To accomplish this, the Flan recommends gi) that each Town I rep.are a Comprehensive Ilan which, "will he a major reference document fcr planned growth in Weld County" i. . , suiclement or adjunct to the '.veld County Comprehensive Ilan. Erie has complied with this request. The proposed landfill, howeverm, will he within 3000 feet of Erie and will prevent the implementation of Erie's Comprehensive flan. AS previously stated in the discussion of short and intermediate impacts, Erie will experience, as a result of this landfill, impacts that will 1O, continue to .adversely affect the Town's development and which will rrevent the successfull imrlerient .t ion of the Flan. Specifically, the following goals, objectives, -n•1 policies relresent and are indicati e of the conflicts that exist between the landfill and tl Ee',rlan: 1. assure that residential areas within the community are desir- able } laces to live. a. residential neighborhoods should he ] rotected from any land use activity involving an excessive level of noise, pollution or traffic volume. The Erie future land use map his designated the land immediately west of the landfill for high density (17 dwelling units per acre) residential use. ,i preliminary sketch plan has been r©yirved :and approved by the Erie Board of Trustees. The landfill would create an obstacle which could prevent the planned development from progressing. This landfill, which is regional in nature wou3.d• generate-unacceptable-levels of different-ty-pes of pollution: It is not acceptable from a health EF Rfet.1~,Ai•: perspective and would create a situation wherein Erie citizens would be pliced •in an unacceptable environment. is being prop- • -'fcr siting adjacent to an area designated for intensive residential development. The noise, oder rand visual pollution ,accompanying these sites and all of the earlier discussed impacts make it an unacceptable land use at this site and make it one of the activities from which residential areas should be pro- tected. 2. Irovide an environment which will attract a variety of new industries in keeping with the desired character of Erie. a. The Erie community should encourage location of only those industries wl ich will not create r ollution or detract from the areas environmental amenities but wt ich will he a finan- cial asset to the community. The southern one-third cf brie is on i anted .rc,_tnd !]r_i e Jr }ark and is.designed to accomodate airport related activities aid industries. it is antiaitaced that these industries will make a significant contribution to the Town's tax base. The landfill will signifi- cantly impede or prohibit such development. First, it will t•revent industries using turbo powered aircraft from locating Cu these sites. Second, it will create safety hazards that will discourage orernators of prot-s from locating in our industrial .areas. Third, the landfill will detract from the areas environmental Lrrenities and fourth it will create a financial liability for the town. 3. Accomod.ate community growth in a manner which is in harmony with the area's natural and man—Trade environment. a. In new development, priority consideration should he given to environmental concerns. b. The noise and crash hazard impacts should be taken into consideration in the planning and development of all lands C`r within at least one mile of Ere. �( Community growth will not be facilita ed by tie placement of this 1a✓ landfill in its proposed location. Inste..d, the landfill wi]1 -� , -c strike a discordent note with rest ect to both t i ' I pal and Ott gyp�, man-made environment. The landfill substantially conflicts with the Klan's directive to give, "priority consideration to environ- • • mental concern's". An anal_,yri s of tlis Flan shows that a serious disruption to the environment w L 11 result And that rnitig,tition measures cannot ac'e'ruately reduce the environmental rlr.pact that will result from this activity. Some of these imp,Icts such as noise, dust, visual and traffic pollutuion have already been dis- cursed. In addition, more potentially serious impacts also exist. • Erie, in particular is concerned about the Iossible contamination of Coal Creek, the contamination of the site itself and, finalyy, the impact that this world have on the health, safety and welfare of Erie residents. Since Erie htr not I' d access to the Colorado Department of Health's recommendation and ,assessment of these concerns, it is not possible to comment in further detail at this time. However, there are two major concerns that we understand that the Health Department will' not Address but which the Town, given its proximity to the site, believes should be addresses. Specifi- cally, Erie is concerned about the following: 1. '.pater run-off. It is cur underr-t:anding that -Colorado Landfill Inc. will et he r•e ,aired to 1 rcvi '•i_ I 1-d an for s a+_er run off— tt. .t is, its r 1'.11ing on the 1 .ndfill, running tiirc'uF 1 r;rL - t ;ri ro' c i'f tl.e site into Cc,] Creek. e 1-•']i. 'rE_ t1 at rr .ct r.f t1 - i l •n c Jnrot F i, icred. Intensive, Fhc'rt dur— ation r ainf ills time occurred in this .area Ind any 1 cssible contamination of our -w iter resources is unacceptable and poses a threat to public and environmental health. 2. Carcinogenic substances. In connection with the Above, Erie is concerned that carcinogenic and otter environmentally hazardous materials will Li .dvertentally enter the site in packer loids, subsequently affecting citizen health. Flans to moniter the tyle of material disposed are neccessary to reduce this hazard. If there is a legitimate appraisal of the environmental impacts o.r. +•:d by this Trojecti. Erie believes that all of the above items must be res3 arcs ed, ex a Jiv d anc' Lnalyzed fcr tteir serarate and c'rlulative effect, on the environment. Beyond this, it is also neccessary to eval- uate the effectiveness of each individual mitigation plan and toalso determine or quantify the number of mitigation measures to be employed. Cnce this is accomplished, it should not be assumed that the project should proceed. Instead the project should be examined in the thntext that appraises the overall effect'venesi- of ritigation measures, working in conjunction with one another, and assesses, realistically, the land— fills impact on the environment. ',hat has occurred to date, is the revicti, of it of .ted environ'1,-.nt al concerns and tie 1 romul ig ction of i ! .ns to .(;re _ -• ^c i f i c Tr(,Tr(I .l.e e . i o i::tec-rated rc rch hts been utilized rand, hoc use of this, no coma ret',n:oive assess— rment of the imp act of this a,nt-,i vi.t7 T:411 have on the environ n. nt and adjacent urban uses have been presented to 'old Ccunty. From the limited . information available to Erie e.g. the limited success to mitigate bird h wards coupled with h -ie's information of their effect r1 on growth and development- it appears that a critical review of this scope would find that the landfill is not acceptable at the Iroposed location and that mitigation measure could not effectively overcome the negative impacts that it will create. 12. • • ''ith reference to the Erie policy which directs the tciwn _end' other aL;enci' s to consider noise and crash hazards i::l acts 'dthin a one nile radius of Erie, it is Erie's losition that this concern has not bran adequately addressed. Briefly, the location proposed for this landfill will substantially increase the crash hazard associated with flying and is, fr•ort this perspective, completely unacceptable. "' Since other interested parties will address this concern in more de- tail, Erie will not do so at this time but will, instead, state that agencies at the federal, state. regional and locals levels support this contention. 4. Encourage new development to he undertaken in :.uch a t,ay that it is financially, socially, and visually beneficial to the Erie c omr,un ity. a. Take steps to encourage Boulder and Weld Counties to continue and strenghen their policies aimed at not allowing urban tape development to occur outside their unincorporated and preserving agricultural activities. Since these items have been discussed elsewhere, Erie reiterates its position that no financial, social or visual benefit will result from this activity. Again we urge you to enforce your policies that de•.1 with the Ire: •�rvation of agriculatural lands adjadent to existing towns. The four items just discussed represent the t•ore extreame areas of • conflict when the compatibility of the proposed landfill with the Comprehensive Plans are discussed. To summarized', however, these areas constitute only the major areas of conflict, other goals, policies, and objectives are also at v +rierce ' ith this proposal and the landfill is simply incompatible with the'comprehensive plans of both Erie and Weld County. It would, if approved, prevent the successful implement- ation of t ese plans. This is further emphasized in the land use policies and statements adopted by Weld County. A significant part of the Weld County Compre- hensive plan contains a series of policy statements that are aimed at achieving planned growth. . These policies all deal 'with resoulee management and have a direct bearing on the ocx*tmr* - landfill issue since they constitlt,J the criteria that should guide the decision making process. In the policy section addressing agriculture, two policies are relevant to the land use activity under discussion: 1. In order to minimize conflicting 1..nd uses . . . industrial develop- ment will be encouraged to locate adjacent to existing towns in accordandance with their comprehensive plans . . .where developments desire to locate . . . elsewhere. . , they will he required to justify their development with a detailed pl in accoipanied by and• economic • and environmental impact statement. From this statement Erie assumes that 't,eld County does not consider the proposal to be an adjacent activity since it has been ten.ttively approved. but is contrary to the Erie Comprehensive Ilan. Erie disagrees with this interruptation but also I oints out that is tl is interrurt Ltion is correct, Colorado Landfill Inc. should be required to undertake the environmental and economic i-u p act st i';ements as specified in this policy. This has not yet been required. , , `\ 13. The next rertinent policy st<atemF,ut s are contained in your section directed at industrial development . This section states that, "zoning for industrial use in areas outside of planning -areas of towns shall be encouraged only for low employee, agriculturally related, or other industries that can not reasonably be located in the planning areas". Erie agrees that a landfill reasonably constitutes one of these other industries. However, Erie believes that this site is within its planning area and that it is not appropiate to locate such a use within this area. The environmental policy section also contains one section relevant to the rroposed landfill. It states that, "all proposed changes in land use will be supported by an environmental impact star.ement prepared by recognized experts. Erie believes that an E.1.3. should be reitaired and that it should comply with the rroposed federal regulations address- ing this issue. In the policy section regarding Open Space, two policy statements are relevant. These two statements direct ield County to protectect lands defined as suitable open space areas and to maintain the integrity and soundness of existing communities by encouraging permanent open space "!greenbelts" around each town. The area selected for the landfill meets 'Meld County's criteria for oxen space and is located in an area which n'ax -erves a greenbelt function for the towt of Erie. I; Erie is to maintain its unique community idenity this will be accoptlished, in part, tl,rou' the isolation of the community by the creation and maintain- ance of agricultural greenbelts. The placement of this landfill within this area is a serios intrusion upon the greenbelt and will discourage its continued existence. This, in turn, will create pressure to encourage othc- ---elopment detrimental to the sound development of Erie. The final policy statement that Erie will comment on states that, " reg- ionalization of service and facilities shall be opposed if it will lead to growth which is not compatible with the desires of the towns involved". As discussed earlier, this will occur, and the landfill does constitute a regional activity. Therfore Erie requests that this application be denied. Erie, acknowledging the neccessity and difficulty in obtaining sites for regional landfills, believes, hoi' -or, that other, more favorable lc .. 'tior, for this activity exist. Erie is presently aware of a site within two miles of the proposed location and without the obstacles presented by this application, before it. Erie maintains that the availability of this site materially changes the conditions under which this application is presented and urges weld County to work with us a • • to find a more acceptable alternative. In conclusion, Erie recognizes the validity and importance of the weld County Comprehensive Plan, understands the importance that it be success- fully implemented and is confident that on the basis of information submitted to you, that you will find the proposal to adversely affect surrounding land ialues, impede or prevent successful development in the Town of Erie and to be incompatible with the stated goals and objectives contained in the areld County Comprehensive Flan. On the basis on this information, the Town of Erie urges deld County tp deny Colorado Landfill inc. 's request that it he issued a certificate of Designation. B ERIE AIR PARK COMPANY 350 BARON COURT ERIE, COLORADO 80516 (303) 666-8260 November 12, 1979 Weld County Commissioners County Bldg. Greeley, Colorado Re: Erie Land fill site: Tri County Airport and the Erie Air Park Subdivision would like to thank you for your time in listening to our objections to the proposed adjacent land fill. As you are aware we feel this land fill is extremely dangerous to our aircraft in flight and totally unacceptable that close to a housing subdivision, which is in the Erie City Limits. The small land fill that originally existed was bad enough and it was more than a half mile further away, and the size of it compared to the new one was almost negligible. The proponents of the new land fill would have you believe that they are merely duplicating an old established operation that we were fully aware of, this is entirely false. The magnitude and proximity of the new land fill definitely change all criteria which should be looked at, which would allow its existance. I urge you strongly to recommend denial of this land fill in the best interests of the safety and well being of all concerned. Thank you.

The construction is going well . Our goal is to have the building finished by the end of the year. But this letter is about the land fill/ dump being considered for the Erie area. I talked with Don Warden last Tuesday afternoon to get the background information on the dump. He explained Weld County's position carefully and fully. Right or wrong, many people in the Erie area have some very strong feelings about the proposed dump, and how the specieal use permit process has gone forward. There are obviously some misunderstandings and lack of proper communications . . . and it would be to everyone's benefit if things could be cleared up. I understand the public hearings for the dump permit were advertised in the Plattville paper. Hardly anyone in Erie knew about those hearings or understood what was going on. On the other hand, the Erie Planning Commission had been consulted about a new dump, and I understand they appeared to be in favor of it. But there was confusion here, too. There had been a small community dump in the Erie area . . . covering about five acres. Because it was not being run properly, the County closed it. People in the Erie area missed the convenience of the small , nearby dump, and some complained to the County about its closing. Shortly thereafter, the Erie Planning Commission did receive a notification of the new dump to be considered. But I understand the Erie planning people thought the new dump was only going to be another small , community dump to replace the one just closed. So they didn ' t object. They didn' t know the new dump was going to contain 320 acres . . . and apparently be regional in nature . . . perhaps the largest in the state. In fact , there are a number of people s page two . . . . in the Erie area that feel thesequence of events just outlined had been carefully orchestrated to meet the legal requirements of approval without getting full disclosure to the Erie folks . . . and therefore avoiding opposition. True or not, there are a number of aroused people in Erie. In fact, Erie had a public hearing on an asphalt plant on October 25th which was attended by almost 100 people. The subject of the dump also came up at that meeting, and the typical comment from the Erie people might have been summed up by one lady who commented . . . "Erie is treated like we are the cesspool of Weld County -- and I am sick of it." Sincethe people of Erie will be more effected by the dump than anybody else in Weld County, they feel their thoughts, concerns and suggestions should be heard before the Weld County Commissioners make a decision on the dump. Because of the lack of communications and the misunderstandings involved, they feel they have not had that opportunity. In view of the above, I respectively urge the Commissioners to reopen the special use permit hearings , and to permit the Erie people to participate. I know Weld County doesn' t feel like they have pushed through the special use permit approval process in anything but an open and honestly way. But many of the Erie people have susp+cions and deep concerns. Reopening the hearings would certainly do much to quell the ill feelings that are now held. Please . . . favorably consider the reopening of the hearings on the dump so that all interested parties can participate and learn from the hearings. The final decision made from that hearing will have long range implications for the area that are complex and enormous . . . and the people from the Erie area deserve to be heard.

Rd. #5 Erie, Colorado 80516 November 12, 1979 Mr. Al Hazel , Director �N1�°jri'li Radiation and Hazardous Waste Control 4210 East 11th Avenue � Denver, Colorado 80220 Nov `J79 /may Re: Proposed Dump ��; RECEIVED 1'� \Jell County , Section 20, T 1 N, R 68 W, Weld County, Colorado �lrnninRtennissiun Dear Mr. Hazel : The following is of deep and serious concern to me and my family. I am writing to you in protest of the proposed dump operation adjacent to my property. My residence and my property are located on Weld County Road #5 consisting of 320 acres. More specifically, my property is bound by County Road #8 on the North, County Road #5 on the West and County Road #6 on the South. Only the County Road #5 separates my residence from the proposed dump operation, and that same road is the main access road to the dump. I have resided on my property for approximately 10 years and during that time there was a continuous small dump operation in existence at the corner of intersection of County Roads #5 and #6. The old dump, in my opinion, did never meet any laws, rules or regulations established by your department or Weld County for that purpose. a I have tolerated the constant trash blowing, fires , debris, dust, fires and rodents and continuous traffic congestion for all these years. The dump was never properly fenced, never covered as required, road maintenance was nil , and vector control nonexistent. And this was only a small dump compared to the regional facility as now proposed and under consideration by your department. I urge you very strongly to peruse the proposed dump operation in my back yard and its consequences to me and the area in general . I would like to note the following points in my objection to the proposed dump: 1. TRAFFIC All traffic to the proposed dump will flow past my property on three sides, thus creating an unbearable situation in this area. The road maintenance in this area is practically nonexistent and the heavy dumpsters and other trucks and vehicles will create havoc with the existing condition of the roads. The tremendous increase of dump traffic will create a dangerous situation to children and adults alike, without respite. In addition, the roads in question are also serving a school bus route, thus increasing the hazard for school children. Mr. Al Hazel -2- November 12, 1979 2. AIR POLLUTION The proposed dump site will create some very serious air pollution problems because access roads are gravel and rather poorly maintained. Considering the tremendous traffic increase the fugitive dust problem will become un- bearable thus creating serious damage to the health of my family and also to my property. In addition, there will be dust blowing problems from the dumping operation itself, because the dump location is in a very serious strong wind area with predominant winds from the southwest and west or from the dump towards my property and residence. In addition, all dumps are known to catch fire, quite often thus creating additional air pollution, fire and health hazards. 3. AIR SAFETY The proposed dump operation also creates an additional air safety hazard for me and also the newly constructed Erie Airport by attracting flocks of birds that scavenge in all dump operations. I have been operating my own aircraft for 10 years out of my own private airstrip, the end of which will be 1500' or less from the dump site. I bought the property because it had a paved asphalt airstrip in existence. It was the main reason for purchasing the property and establishing my residence at this location. The proposed dump operation will seriously affect my aircraft operation and will increase the hazard of all aircraft operations in Erie airspace, including the new Erie airport. 4. LAND USE The proposed dump site is located in a natural gully, gullies that con- stitute a natural drainage basis that will be intercepted and possibly destroyed by the deposited refuse and trash, thus creating a serious water pollution problem. The water pollution potential exists not just for the surface run-off waters but also for deep waters considering the fact that the dump site is undermined and honeycombed by numerous shafts and mine tunnels from previous coal operations. It does present a serious water pollution problem of deep aquifiers , thus creating a health hazard for many that are utilizing the water in the area. 5. LAND VALUES The proposed dump operation will serious effect my property value, thus causing me a personal injury and a financial loss of great magnitude. In closing, I must state that considering the access , dust and debri blowing, fires, rodents and other vectors , air, water and land pollution and aircraft hazards and other land use and environmental impacts, the dump operation i .. . Mr. Al Hazel -3- November 12, 1979 at this location is very poorly planned and highly detrimental to the health, safety and wellbeing of my family and the area as well.

Commissioners P. 0. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Sir: I am president/owner of Turbo Flite, Inc. and plan on constructing a large aircraft hangar at Erie Air Park. If the Colorado Landfill site is developed as a dump nearby, there exists a possible land use conflict. The aircraft that will be using my hangar will be Turbo-Jet, Turbo-Fan, and Turbo-Prop type aircraft. These types of aircraft fly at high airspeeds and require long approach patterns at air- ports. If a landfill is developed at the proposed Colorado Landfill site there could be a severe problem of bird strikes with these aircraft. FAA criteria dictates that there not be any landfills or dumps within a 10,000 ft. distance of any airport runways that have Jet-type aircraft traffic. It would appear that the Colorado Landfill is in violation of this FAA policy. Erie Air Park fir O ______;., , TEnc Ronald R Keith, President 1694 30th Street, Boulder, Colorado 80301 I feel that this landfill is an inappropriate use of the land and constitutes a potential hazard to the health and welfare of many pilots and passengers.

Being in the trash hauling business for thirteen years, I can assure you that there is a genuine need for a landfill which can serve the Brighton and Ft. Lupton area. As you know, the federal government is constantly imposing more stringent regulations on landfills across the country. I am of the opinion that Colorado Landfill, Inc. is a company that can meet those regulations and be an asset in providing landfill services to our local area.

The Test Boring Location Plan and Log of Borings are attached. The Log of Borings shows soils encountered and location of sampling. A summary of test results is also attached. In general, the site is overlain by a one (1) foot layer of silty topsoil. A layer of plastic silty clay underlies the topsoil and extends to the claystone-siltstone bedrock, which was encountered at depths one and one-half (1i) to eight (S) feet below the surface. In-place field percolation tests were run within the bedrock stratum in three (3) of the test borings. The results of these tests are as follows: Boring No. Percolation Rate 1 240 min/in 2 240 min/in 3 240 min/in Laboratory permeability tests were run on an undisturbed sample of the claystone-siltstone bedrock, and a curve showing the results is at- tached. Test results indicate that the bedrock has a permeability of 0.02 Ft/yr. Scy00 $014p \fIC:74 W � o _r N MEMBER OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS COUNCIL 4► •7 Mr. Vern Nelson Page 2 September 12, 1979 Based on the test results to date, it is our opinion that the bedrock encountered at the site is relatively impervious. It is suggested that the upper one (1) foot of the bedrock stratum be scarified and recom- pacted to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-70 or that the bedrock be overlain with a compacted layer of the on-site clay soil. Soil classification and permeability tests are currently being performed in our laboratories on the upper clay soils encountered at the site. These results. along with a complete report, will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. ; Very truly yours. .14 1 ? ?} EMPIRE LABORATORIES. It _el#6/044410( Neil R.

More particularly, the site is described as a tract of land situate in the east Z of the northwest 4 and the west Z of the northeast 4 of Section 29 , Township 1 North, Range 68 West of the Sixth P .M. , Weld County, Colorado . The proposed landfill site is underlain entirely by the Columbine Mine . Owned by the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, the coal mine ceased operation in 1951. The mine lies approximately between two hundred (200) and three hundred fifty (350) feet below the surface in the area of the proposed landfill . The coal seam mined, found in the Cretaceous Laramie Formation, is approximately five (5) to fifteen (15) feet thick. Mining operations were per- formed by the room and pillar method, and the majority of the pillars were robbed as mining operations were being completed. The main shaft of the mine is located approxi- mately one thousand (1000) feet north of the south property line at the center of the property. In the area surrounding the shaft , pillars were not removed. The area in which the pillars were not removed comprises a portion of the central and eastern parts of the property. Evidence of subsidence is noted in the southwest corner of the property southwest of the mine shaft . The above mine data has been extrapolated from the subsidence study prepared by Amuedo and Ivey (Ground Subsidence and Land-Use Considerations Over Coal Mines in the Boulder- Weld Coal Field, Colorado by Amuedo and Ivey, Geological �.P�O R A TOQ 1 4 16 = MEMBER OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS COUNCIL ij # Mr. Vern Nelson August 27 , 1979 Page 2 Consultants for the Colorado Geological Survey, 1975) . Based on the Amuedo and Ivey study and our evaluation of known data, it is our opinion that the majority of the area of the proposed landfill has a low hazard potential of subsidence. The majority of the area has had all pillars removed, which allows relatively uniform and com- plete subsidence to occur. This subsidence usually occurs soon after mining operations are complete, and there is evidence that subsidence has already taken place at the site , making the potential for additional subsidence minimal . In the area in which pillars have not been re- moved, a severe subsidence hazard may exist. The collapse of decomposing coal pillars could cause subsidence . This subsidence may be reflected on the surface and could cause displacement near or equal to the thickness of the mine voids . A "Subsidence Hazard Map" delineating areas of low hazard, severe hazard, and recorded subsidence is attached. In view of the low to severe subsidence hazard potential in the area, it is our opinion that development of a sanitary landfill may be a good land use for this area. Building construction is not recommended in the high hazard area, and buildings placed in the low hazard area would have to be designed structurally to resist minor settlements . The only objection to constructing a landfill over a sub- sidence area in our opinion would be the possible con- tamination of groundwater. In general, the Laramie Formation yields small to moderate amounts of water of varying quality for stock and domestic wells . Where this water has come in contact with the coal beds of the Laramie Formation, it contains an abundance of readily soluble minerals which have a deleterious effect on the quality of the water. A field investigation of the area by Empire Laboratories , Inc . has determined that bedrock at the site is two (2) to eight (8) feet below the surface. A visual inspection of the bedrock and upper clay material indicates these materials to be relatively impervious . Laboratory tests are to be performed to verify the visual observations . Mr. Vern Nelson August 27 , 1979 Page 3 In our opinion, contamination of the natural groundwater supply due to subsidence would be minimal if the sanitary landfill is properly constructed. Subsidence over the majority of the site should be minimal. The effect of subsidence as it pertains to groundwater quality can be minimized by providing proper- surf-ace -drainage _at the site ( and lining the bottom of the pit with a layer of properly, compacted iii drvious- "clay. This clay layer woilld be= some- what flexible and could have the capacity of healing any cracks due to subsidence which may develop in it . Thus , seepage of contaminated water and leachate from the sanitary landfill could be minimized.

SUP-400 : 79 : 22 Colorado Landfill , Inc . Dear Mr. Price: Your letter of August 3, 1979 , to the Weld County Planning Depart- ment regarding the above subject has been referred to this office for review and comment . The attached letter from Neil R. Sherrod, Pro- fessional Geologist and Vice President of Empire Laboratories , provides the results of investigations and evaluations by that office of the geologic and soils conditions on the site . Mr . Sherrod concludes that a landfill on this site may be a good use for the area. .The work of Empire Laboratories confirms the soils and surface data obtained from the U.S . Soil Conservation Service including the fact that the surface soils and the bedrock are quite impervious . There- fore, seepage will be minimized because of the clayey nature of the soils . Further such soils would tend to heal fractures caused by sub- sidence if any seepage water enters the area. Neither the work of the Soil Conservation Service or Empire Laboratories shows any groundwater table on the site . This office would appreciate receiving any additional pertinent data that your office has accumulated or developed relative to sub- sidence in the coal mine areas of southwestern Weld County and in particular with respect to the Columbine Mine. Be assured that this landfill , upon approval , will be operated in accordance with all the local , state, and federal regulations . Those regulations provide extensive control and protection for the benefit of the public using the facility. The site is primarily unused now and, in fact, is to a large extent , a wasteland. Filling the site to some uniform grades with properly compacted material and controlled cover will enhance the area and provide the potential for future use of this site as useable open \ �. \\ \ I we • Mr. James N.

Hall : Your memo of August 3, 1979 , to Vickie Traxler re the Special Use Permit Application of Colorado Landfill , Inc. has been referred to me for review. In response to your comments , I present the following information : 1 . The life of the proposed landfill is in excess of ten years , and depending upon operation, need, and adequacy of site, it could last upwards to twenty years . Projections show that the first ten-year period will see use by an average of 60 , 000 people per year . Based upon a disposal rate of 5#/cap/day and a compaction density of 1 , 000#/cu.yd. , the volume required per year for waste fill is 66 acre-feet/year of volume . The volume of soil required to cover this waste is in a waste-to-cover ratio of about 4 : 1 , thereby requiring about 16 . 5 acre-feet/year of cover material . Soil Conservation Service soils analysis of the site show that about 72 A. has an average of 1 1/2 foot depth of available cover material , while about 88 A. of the site has more than a 5 foot depth of available cover material . Current independent drillings , testing, and visual inspections confirm the availability of cover material as revealed by the Soil Conservation Service Reports . The volume of available cover then is at least : 1 1/2 ' x 72 A. = 108 A. -ft . 5 ' x 88 A. = 440 A. -ft . Total Volume 548 A. -ft . At a rate of use for the first ten-year period of 16 . 5 A. -ft . the ten-year use is only 165 A. -ft . If the second ten-year period use rate is double the first , the total volume for that period would be 330 A. -ft . A total of the first and second ten-year periods is 495 A. -ft . , a fill or cover volume less than the conservative minimum volume available as shown above . Mr. John G . Hall August 24, 1979 Page 2 2 . At the time an office is placed on the site and a need for a septic system is required, a permit will be applied for . 3. Acceptance of hazardous wastes at this proposed landfill site is not anticipated. 4 . The Colorado Department of Health is aware of this application and is evaluating the engineering portion as well as other pertinent information. I trust this information will provide you with adequate additional data to answer your concerns . Respectfully, NELSON ENGINEERS 4G4 LaVern C. Nelson, P .E .

Your Case No . Sup . -400 : 79 : 22 Dear Mr. Seaholm: Your letter of August 9 , 1979 , to Vickie Traxler of the Weld County Planning Department regarding the above subject has been re- ferred to me for comment. Fortunately the drainage area above this site is small and grades on the site are adequate. As a result, diversion ditches can and will be installed as required to keep runoff water away from the active fill area both as it is actively being filled and after final cover in accordance with State Health Department Regulations . As needed, the diversion ditches will be riprapped to control erosion in the steeper areas , while natural vegetation will preclude erosion in most of the area. Therefore, erosion and sedimentation is not expected to be a problem. No more water will reach Coal Creek as a result of this proposed landfill than has historically been the case . Because all runoff water will be diverted from the fill , no contamination of the runoff is expected. In addition, no accessible groundwater has been observed on the site . In an earlier analysis of runoff from the drainage area above this site of which you have a copy, a runoff quantity of 15 . 4 cfs was determined for a 25-year storm frequency. Increasing that calculation to a 100-year storm frequency results in a runoff of 22 . 7 cfs . That earlier analysis recommended a ditch and diversion structure much larger than required, in fact , it is large enough for the runoff expected from a 100-year storm frequency; that is 22 cfs at minimum grade of 1% and a capacity exceeding the runoff at steeper grades . Mr . D. Randolph Seaholm August 24 , 1979 Page 2 If erosion of ditches becomes a problem at any time, checks can be provided using rubble from the landfill . Such activity is necessary as an operational matter . Planting of grass and the growth of natural vegetation, as pointed out in the earlier analysis , will in most in- stances control erosion adequately. Call me if you have further questions regarding this Special Use Permit Application. Respectfully, NELSON ENGINEERS OPV- e LaVern C. Nelson, P .E .

Your concern that greater maintenance costs to the County and greater dust problems will result from the increased truck traffic in the vicinity of the proposed landfill site is reasonable. The Colorado Landfill , Inc . budget includes funds for a 3 , 000 gallon water truck to be used at the site for dust control on the access roads to and from the area and within the active fill area. The rate of use will depend upon need as a result of the climatic con- ditions . The operator has anticipated the dust problem and intends to control it as much as is reasonably possible . The presence of the water truck at the site will also provide a certain degree of fire protection in and about the landfill area , as well as providing water for equipment washdown and maintenance . Weld County, by virtue of its existing contracts , agreements , ordinances , and resolutions , does authorize Colorado Landfill , Inc . , to be the only authorized landfill operator in the County, and to operate Weld County Landfills in accordance with all the regulations applicable thereto including the charging and collecting of County approved fees for the use therefor. The County approved fees include a 5% surcharge to be remitted to the County by Colorado Landfill , Inc . on the basis of collected fees . The purposes of this surcharge are described in detail in the enabling ordinance , but one of the purposes will be to provide maintenance in the vicinity of the landfills of Weld County to insure reasonable access to the landfill sites by the citizens and inhabitants .
