Morrison, Assistant Weld County Attorney WID € DATE: November 18, 2002 SUBJECT: Box Elder Sanitation District Amended Statement of COLORADO Purpose The Box Elder Sanitation District was organized and has existed in Larimer County since March 31, 1965. Property has been annexed into the District which lies within Weld County. The area included in Weld County at this time is one mile from the County line in an area roughly between Black Hollow and New Windsor Reservoirs. Two years ago, the District asked for recognition of its ability to serve within Weld County. The Board directed this office to obtain an Amended Statement of Purpose prior to the District being regarded as authorized to provide public sewer within areas of Weld County. The District filed materials which, after consultation with Weld County Depai talent of Public Health and Environment, were determined to be inadequate to constitute an Amended Statement of Purpose. The principal deficiency was that the District was not properly qualified to serve Weld County under State law since they had not received recognition within the Larimer/Weld Water Quality Management Plan ( 208 Plan) to serve areas within Weld County. The District has now provided evidence of its recognition under the 208 Plan and the Amended Statement of Purpose appears to otherwise be adequate. Special Districts formed since May 1, 1965 have been subject to the requirement of a service plan approval. Districts formed without a service plan approval, such as Boxelder, are subject to a requirement of filing of a Statement of Purpose which does not require a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. No formal action is required by the Board except to accept for filing an Amended Statement of Purpose including the revised map from the Larimer/Weld 208 Plan. The effect of this would be to allow Box Elder Sanitation District to be considered a public sewer system in the course of evaluating any future land use proposals within the area recognized in the 208 Plan. 9 / - I �� 1t-( s . � L D.

June 6, 2000 Mr. Lee D. Morrison Assistant County Attorney Weld County Attorney's Office 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Mr. Morrison: Please find enclosed the Boxelder Sanitation District Amended Statement of Purpose in response to your letter of May 26, 2000 and in accordance with C.R.S. Section 32-1- 207. I expect this Statement of Purpose will satisfy the requirements of C.R.S. 32-1-207, 32-1-204.5 and 32-1-208. I believe this to be required by Weld County since the District has a "material modification" of its service plan caused by a property located in Weld County being petitioned into the District. The District has previously existed and operated solely within Larimer County and has not had any petitioned lands from Weld County. Also enclosed is the District's position paper on wastewater service area definition, vis-à- vis the Clean Water Act 208 plans, which governs the District responses to property owners requesting service. Please advise that these documents do satisfy your request. Sinc ly, W.

Section 32-1-208. Boxelder Sanitation District, hereinafter referred to as "the District," is a special district and a political subdivision of the State of Colorado established under Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. I. Purpose for which the District was organized. The District was organized for the purpose of providing wastewater service for domestic and other private and public purposes. A petition to create the District was filed after an election was held within the proposed district on March 23, 1965, with resulting votes of 14 for and 0 against. The Order and Decree of the District Court for the 8th Judicial District creating the District was entered on March 31, 1965. The District was organized for the purpose of providing services and facilities both within and without the boundaries of the District and to establish fees, rates, tolls, penalties, or charges for such services and facilities. II. Services and Facilities to be Provided by the District. The District's office is located at 2217 Airway Ave, #3, Fort Collins. At present, the District provides wastewater services to approximately 7,106 people. Wastewater is collected through District collection system that is nearly 35 miles long. In addition, the District operates two wastewater pumping stations to serve specific locations within the collection system. The District owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant located at 2705 S. W. Frontage Road, Fort Collins, Colorado. The treatment facilities consist of a control building, a four-cell aerated lagoon, chlorination and dechlorination facilities. The control building houses controls, flow monitoring equipment, lift pumps, and a backup power supply generator. The design capacity of the treatment plant is 2.34 million gallons per day for hydraulic flow and 3,200 pounds BOD5 per day organic loading. The average household is thought to contribute about 250 gallons per day and 0.63 pounds of BOD5 per day.

An alarm system located at the DistricYs plant alerts the plant operator and other District personnel of any problems or malfunctions. III. Areas served or to be Served bv the District At present, the lands petitioned into the District encompass approximately 16 square miles located east and north of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Said lands lie in Larimer and Weld Counties. Presently, the lands petitioned into the District consist of a wide variety of property types including mobile home parks, motels, restaurants, office buildings, residential developments, industrials and agricultural properties. Due to its proximity to the City of Fort Collins, Towns of Timnath and Wellington and their designated urban growth areas, the District is experiencing growth. The District has received applications for several new commercial and residential developments. It is anticipated that in the long term (greater than fifty year planning horizon) the District will eventually be required to serve additional lands within the Poudre, Cooper Slough, and Boxelder drainages, for a total area of approximately 45,000 acres, the majority of which is presently undeveloped and consists primarily of agricultural property. The long-term planning area for Boxelder Sanitation District, as identified in Larimer and Weld Counties, is shown in Exhibit A. The District provides services tolintends to provide service not only to properties already petitioned into the District, but also areas contiguous to the District and possibly outlying areas. Provision of such service will be either by inclusion of said property within the District or by providing such services through a written agreement. Boxelder Sanitation District provides wastewater services and facilities and intends to continue to provide the same in the manner and to the extent authorized by Colorado law as may be amended from time to time by the District. Furthermore, those areas which are served by the District are those areas authorized by Colorado law as may be amended from time to time.

' ��OEA QIV III S�rl�� 9F O O � � POSITION PAPER ON SERVICE AREA DEFINITION FOR WASTEWATER RECLAMATION SERVICE PROVIDERS The question of service area definition, or the delineation of present day geographical limits of areas to be serviced by Publicly Owned Treatment Works (P.O.T.W.) in the future, is the focus of this paper. The appropriate answer to the service area definition question for a given service provider is not appropriately a matter of political concem. Rather, it is properly decided unilaterally by each operating entity, but in concert with the proximate users, or future users of its service system. The service area in not an arbitrary map-making function. It is essentially determined by the P.O.T.W. in consideration of several controlling elements as follows: 1. Plant Caaacitv and Desian: Consideration must be given to the hydraulic and organic loading capacity of the treatment works to accept the flows from the combined existing and future service area users, and to some extent the hydraulic design of the collector system to be expanded or utilized. 2. Leaal and Contractual Liabilities of the P.O.T.W.: Consideration must be given to existing long term commitments to serve petitioned lands, or in-place contractual commitments to serve areas. These elements will control the definition of service areas, both existing and future. Bond covenants also impact and contribute to the definition of service area by each service provider. 3. Financial and Business Manapement Oblipations: Consideration must be given to the fact that P.O.T.W.'s are mandated for perpetual operational existence, and the concurrent assumed least costly service to the user base. These two most important elements direct that 100% utilization of capital investments is an ongoing obligation of P.O.T.W. management. This is best accomptished by planned, incremental expansion of the service area to match utilization with overall plant design. P.O.

User/Applicant Petitioning and Choice: Where two comparable service providers are in proximity to an applicant property, and the property owner wishes to obtain service, the extension of the service area of either service provider should be the choice of the aoalicant and most probably would be decided based on the relative cost of such service, including collector line extensions. Since there exists within state and federal law a multitude of regulatory directives which must be followed by P.O.T.W,'s, these will, of course, be the dominant control elements when a goveming entity considers its service area definition. If the four elements listed above are accepted as incumbent upon all service providers (especially the least cost mandate) then there should be no need to arbitrate service area boundaries when they approach contiguity. Rather, if the policy of least cost public service prevails, then well engineered, joint-use facilities, financed through interagency agreements, should be utilized to serve properties on or near contiguous agency boundaries; and, thus, dUr11�811nn nf �tiaf R:7;:a1 size �aci!i±les�+u;lt.he a�c��`. . � � . � Boxeld itation istrict W.

O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Recognition of Boxelder Sanitation District to operate in Weld County Dear Mr. Morrison: This is a rather delayed follow-up to your letter of 14 November 2000 regarding the district's desires to be declared as an entity that can operate and provide sanitary sewer service to properties in Weld County. The Boxelder Sanitation District, a special district of the State of Colorado, is the wastewater service provider in eastem Larimer County and has received many requests for service from property owners in Weld County. At least three property owners in Weld County have already petitioned land into the District. On 29 November 2001, the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association adopted an amended Water Quality Management Plan for the Larimer-Weld region of the state. Included in the updated plan is the long-term water quality planning area for Boxelder Sanitation District. A copy of this area, which inGudes lands in Larimer and Weld counties, is enclosed. I hope this change in the "208 plan" satisfies the issue raised in your 14 November 2000 letter and allows you to recommend to the Weld County Commissioners that Boxelder Sanitation District be recognized as a sanitary sewer service provider in Weld County. I look fonvard to hearing from you. Sincerely, �� •�� Ravindra M. Srivastava, Ph.D., P.E. General Manager Enclosures P.O.

With one major exception,the information has satisfied the request. However,before I can recommend to the Board of County Commissioners acceptance of the Amended Statement of Purpose as complete,further information regazding compliance with the area wide waste treatment management plan for Laruner and Weld County(208)plan is needed. It is my understanding of the 208 process that service to an azea may not be provided unless and until an entity is recognized as an operating agency for that azea under the 208 plan and any necessary amendments to the 208 plan have been approved by the state. Trevor Jiricek of the Weld County health Department has spoken with Dave Dubois at North Front Range Water Quality Management Agency who has indicated that there have been no steps taken through his agency to obtain designation for your District as a operating entity in any portion of Weld Counry. Your District needs to demonstrate the legal authoriry to operate in an azea in addition to establishing form an engineering standpoint,the ability to serve. I am not suggesting that the County has taken a position for or against your District operating in Weld County under the 208 plan at this time. I am recommending that the County not recognize your District as available to provide service in Weld County unless and until you are formally recognized in the 208 planning process. Please contact me if you have further questions in this regard.

We have already solicited review and comments from adjacent municipalities (Town of Windsor, Town of Wellington, City of Ft. Collins). We have received word from Windsor, expressing agreement on our shared boundary (letter attached). City of Ft. Collins and Town of Wellington have not offered comments in response to our query of June 2001. However, both entities provided verbal approval to our mutual boundaries in meetings during December 2000. I wish to aver that the Boxelder Sanitation DistricYs 208 submittal is not subject to changes by the NFRWQPA or individual third parties. Boxelder Sanitation District has elected to submit an entirely new narrative format, rather than a "corrected 1999" - 208 Submittal, as a result of our updated master plan. The District is hopeful that the NFRWQPA's 208 plan update can be completed during the third quarter of 2001. If not, the District requests that a plan amendment be processed prior to September31, 2001.

Currently, the existing Boxelder Sanitation District treatment plant is located alongside the confluence of Boxelder Creek and the Cache La Poudre River. This existing treatment plant will be utilized to serve a much farger area than in the past. The larger service area will extend north to within a mile of the Town of Wellington's existing service area generally along CR 58 to the easternmost area and CR 60 on the west toward the foothills. The Boxelder Sanitation District service area will border, generally, the Cherry Hills Sanitation District and the City of Fort Collins on the west. On the east, the District service area extends into Weld County where there is not another service entity. On the south, the anticipated area to be served extends to CR 34 and generally is expected to approach both the Town of Windsor and South Fort Collins Sanitation District areas of interest. Through formal and informal arrangements, it is expected that there will be some consideration given to cooperative planning with possibly both the City of Windsor and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District on the south and with the Town of Wellington on the north to determine the most economical and expedient manner to serve properties of interest. The District will continue cooperation with other wastewater treatment entities. The District Board of Directors has determined that planning for a second treatment facility (WWTP), near the southem portion of the area the District has committed to serve, should proceed. Planning will include land control, site application submittals, and preliminary engineering in accordance with existing regulation and statutes applicable to the approval process. This facility would be located so that it can provide wastewater treatment to properties in the vicinity of Harmony Road and the east side of I-25, in accordance with the DistricYs Utility Plan. The DistricYs Utility Plan was revised in 2001 to include a description of the existing treatment facility, anticipated upgrades and improvements, which will be done over the planning period. It also reaffirms the intention of the District to proceed with the process of review and approval of the WWTP #2 facility within the next two years. The Utility Plan also considers the possibility of reuse of treated wastewater for landscape irrigation. 1 Service Area Map: The NFRWQPA water quality planning area for Boxelder Sanitation District is designated as shown in the accompanying map, with lands in Larimer and Weld counties. it should be noted that this map is substantially consistent with the language approved by NFRWQPA in the 1999 Water Quality Management Plan. As a resuit of Board actions, the District has the following projects planned: 1. Wastewater Pumping Stations: Wastewater pumping stations and accompanying pressure sewer systems may be constructed in the following loca6ons: a. In the proximity of Section 24, Township 7N, Range 68W, to serve properties in the Timnath Reservoir watershed. b. In the SE 1/4, Section 8, Township 7N, Range 68W, to serve properties between Lake Canal and State Hwy 14. c. In the NE '/., Section 2, Township 6N, Range 68W, to serve a set of properties in the vicinity of Larimer County Rd. 3 and Harmony Road. d. In the area east of Interstate 25 and west of Larimer County Road 5, south of the Poudre River near its I-25 bridge, and north of Larimer County Road 34. e. In the area to the west of the Poudre River, north of Horsetooth Road, and east of Larimer County Road 9. Additionally, the existing wastewater pumping station at CDOT is to be enhanced for a larger hydraulic capacity. Other pumping stations may be needed at locations not readily served by graviry sewer. 2. Treatment Plant Expansion: There will be an enhancement of the existing wastewater treatment facility located in Section 22, Township 7N, Range 68W. This potentially includes, among other things, an experimental constructed wetlands treatment system, an additional chlonne contact basin, a reworking of the influent works, additional aeration capability for the existing lagoons, a modification of the treatment process to treat wastewater for ammonia, nutrients and other pollutants--along with treatment for BOD, TSS and conventional pollutants--in anticipation of possibly more restrictive water quality regulations. Work on the enhancement of the electrical infrastructure at the plant, modification of the effluent structures and monitoring devices, potential removal of wastewater sludge from the lagoons, and construction of a maintenance building will be completed in the short term. 3. Collection System Enhancement: A study of the collection system and identification of potential sites of infiltration and inflow has been carried out. The District intends to build on this database a program for reduction, 2 and possible elimination, of much of the infiltration/inflow for various segments of the collection system. This may include replacement and/or repairs to various segments of the collection system and installation of alternative collection systems (e.g., vacuum systems) in hard to serve areas. Major new collectors are anticipated to be put into place to serve the existing plant. These include: a. Boxelder Interceptor extension (to serve East Basin) b. Poudre Interceptor extension (to serve West Basin) c. Cooper Slough Interceptor extension (to serve West Basin) d. Prospect Collector (to serve East Basin and Timnath Lake Basin) e. Timnath Lake interceptor (to serve Timnath Lake Basin) In addition, collectors wouid be instalied for the proposed (new) treatment plant, to serve the New Timnath Basin, the Poudre Riparian Basin, and to serve as relievers to the CDOT Lift Station Basin. Force main replacement and/or expansions are also contemplated for some of the existing wastewater pumping stations. 4. New treatment plant: The District intends to exercise its option of siting a new wastewater treatment plant and obtaining an NPDES permit for a fac�lity which could potentially serve the following areas: Properties in the vicinity of Harmony Road and on the east side of I-25, on the basis of landowner petitions for inclusion into the District; and an area bounded on the south by (extended) Larimer County Road 34, and west by I-25, extending north to State Highway 14 and generally east to Weld County Road 19, as depicted in the accompanying map. The siting of the new treatment plant would assist in the elimination of one or more of the lift stations presently contemplated for construction. The treatment plant, as presently envisioned, could potentially be a small temporary lagoon or a package plant that is designed in accordance with State requirements. As the flows increase to approximately 1 MGD, or if water quality considerations demand so, a full-fledged mechanical wastewater treatment plant is contemplated as a replacement for the package plant or lagoon. 5. Utility Plan: The District completed a revision of its Utility Plan document in 2001, addressing the expansion of existing collection and treatment system, and invesfigations of financing mechanisms to bring these expansions to fruition. 6. District Infrastructure Protection: The District is likely to continue its work on the protection of its infrastructure (flood proofing plant site and collection system components) that is described in the 1999 update to the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association Areawide Water Quality Management Plan. 3 7. Wastewater Reuse: The District anficipates a potential need for reclaimed domestic wastewater for use in landscape irrigation from the existing and/or the proposed wastewater treatment facility. In the course of 6me, as the need for such reclaimed water is manifested, the District will initiate planning, design, construction and operation of appropriate works to satisfy the requests made of the District. 8. Watershed Water Quality Monitoring: The District will continue to pursue acquisition of water quality data in the Poudre Basin, especially in Segments 11, 12 and 13 and will collaborate with the City of Fort Coliins, NFRWQPA, South Fort Collins Sanitation District, City of Greeley, Town of Windsor, Town of Wellington, Town of Timnath, Kodak Colorado Division, and any other interested parties who seek to work together on the enhancement of water quality in the Lower Poudre River Basin. The DistricYs existing treatment facilities consist of two aerated lagoons and two polishing ponds, followed by chlorination and dechlorination. Discharge is to Boxelder Creek just above its confluence with the Cache la Poudre River. The rated capacity of the plant is 2.34 MGD and 3,200 Ib BOD5/day. Current wastewater flows average about 1.7 MGD, and the District has adequate capacity for projected growth for 15 to 20 years for those parts of the service area that are north of Larimer County Road 40 and west of Weld County Road 17. The District will submit a site application for enhanced treatment capacity at the existing plant, which will include upgrades of the existing treatment system, to increase the hydraulic capacity to about 4.5 MGD and organic capacity of up to 6,000 Ib BOD�/day.
