TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
2002
Local Government Energy and Mineral
Impact Assistance Program
INTRODUCTION. This Twenty Sixth Annual Report of Expenditures from the Local
Government Severance Tax Fund and the Local Government Mineral Impact Fund is submitted
to the General Assembly pursuant to C.R.S. 39-29-110(3) and 34-63-102(5)c. Recognizing the
fundamental similarity between the criteria for distribution of these funds and in order to
minimize administrative costs, the Department of Local Affairs administers the distribution of
funds from these two sources in a combined manner through the Local Government Energy and
Mineral Impact Assistance program.
SUMMARY OF 2002 ACCOMPLISHMENTS. The largest distribution of funds through the
Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program occurs in the form of discretionary grants and
loans to municipalities, counties and other political subdivisions socially or economically
impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of minerals and mineral fuels.
In 2002, more than $39.6 million in grants and loans were awarded to grantees for 207 local
public facility and services projects. These investments leveraged over $142 million in local and
other funds and positively affected the lives of over 1.5 million state residents who enjoyed the
benefits of the community-based projects supported with grant funds. Additionally, over$4.2
million was directly distributed to municipalities and counties based on the number of production
employees residing within their jurisdictions.
The $39.6 million in grants and loans awarded in 2002 is above the $28.5 million awarded in
2001. The increased level of funding was driven by a high level of demand by local
governments to address infrastructure needs related to oil, gas and coal development. The
ability to respond to the demand is possible due to booming program revenues. However,
severance tax revenues are down more than 40 percent in the July-to-December 2002
timeframe compared to the same period in 2001. It is possible that annual funding levels may
fall over the next few years into the $15 to $20 million range, the program's long-term average.
At the same time as less program funds are available, local government needs are expected to
increase as a result of the slowing economy and a likely decline in local energy-related property
tax revenues, a delayed consequence of earlier energy price and/or production fluctuations.
The December, 2002 Legislative Council economic report noted that assessed values in 2003
will decrease in 32 of Colorado's 64 counties.
In 1999, the program guidelines were revised to provide incentives to local governments
applying for financial assistance directly related to energy and mineral impacts. Due to these
changes, a greater portion of available funds are used to mitigate direct impacts than at any
other time in the program's history. For example, in the four years since the program guidelines
were rewritten, $24 million has been awarded for road improvement projects. This compares
with $11.4 million in the preceding ten years.

2002 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS. In projects ranging from rural health clinic and hospital —
expansion to the reconstruction of county roads to enhance transportation safety, Local
Government Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program resources were used to respond to
local government needs directly or indirectly related to energy and mineral impacts. Public —
safety needs continued to be a high priority issue for local governments in 2002. Eleven new
emergency response vehicles and nearly 56,000 square feet of emergency equipment storage
space were funded in 2002 with awards of just over$2.6 million. In order to address —
transportation problems, $8 million was provided to counties and municipalities to resurface or
reconstruct 32 miles of roads and streets, replace bridges, and acquire road maintenance
equipment. Over$12.5 million was awarded for critical health and safety improvements to —
water, sewer and drainage systems. The 52 grants and loans awarded for these basic
infrastructure needs represent the program's largest investment of funds by project type.
Grants were also provided to construct community and recreation centers, hospitals, medical
clinics and local government administrative offices. More than 276,200 square feet of space
was added or improved for these activities.
In 2002, the department experienced increasing pressures on the program due to cuts in state
general fund appropriations for affordable housing, water, wastewater, health care and other
local needs. In order to balance the state budget, state general fund appropriations were
eliminated for affordable housing development grants and loans as well as per capita allocations to county and regional health departments. Additionally, most of the $3 million appropriation to
state Department of Public Health and Environment for small community water and sewer
grants was rescinded in the fall of 2001, and no funds were appropriated in FY 2002-03 for
Page 3 —
those purposes. With limited alternate funding sources for these purposes, small communities
have been increasingly turning to the Impact program for assistance. For example, awards for
water projects increased from 15 projects totaling $3.7 million in 2000 to 37 projects totaling
$7.3 million in 2002. Awards for sewer projects increased from 11 projects totaling $2.1 million
in 2000 to 18 projects totaling $4.3 million in 2002. In addition to these pressures, fire and
drought has severely affected the citizens of Colorado. Following are brief descriptions of areas
that emerged as a priority or continued to be a priority in 2002.
Fire and Drought
In 2002, nearly $3 million in Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance funds were awarded to local
governments hit by fire and drought.
Colorado experienced its worst wildfire season in history, fueled by historic drought conditions in
2002. A total of 3,072 wildfires burned an estimated 915,291 acres, the third largest in the
nation. The state's firefighting and emergency rehabilitation efforts exceeded $200 million.
At the request of Governor Bill Owens, Energy and .'•:,:"":?7,X.;,, ` w -
Mineral Impact Assistance funds were made
available to local governments to address fire- and =w. , ;-}. .,.
drought-related financial hardship. The Governor
requested that funds from the program be ",,. li�
earmarked in response to numerous requests from ••$
local governments, particularly smaller -4.- -.
communities, for financial assistance.
In response, Bob Brooks, executive director of the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs, extended the
normal August 1 application deadline so such
�- requests could be considered by the state advisory committee through its regular review
process. After consideration of fire- and drought- related requests in October, Bob Brooks
announced in November that$2,903,500 in Energy and Mineral Impact grants and loans were
awarded to 14 projects in communities hardest hit by the historic wildfires and drought.
Decisions on some regular Impact funding requests submitted in the preceding funding cycle
were temporarily deferred in order to ensure funds would be available to address these
_ immediate needs.
One example of a community impacted by wildfire is La Plata County. Energy and Mineral
Impact Assistance funds were awarded to what was one of the hardest-hit counties in the state.
Project funding, totaling $600,000, went toward the repair of county roads damaged by
subsequent flooding, mudslides and debris flow. Repairs included culvert cleaning and
modification, placement of warning signs, repaving and overlaying.

In drought-ravaged Kremmling, the town was in need of funding to augment its raw water
supply. A $300,000 Impact grant was awarded in support of a $1.6 million effort to develop an —
alternative water supply, including construction of 1.7 miles of transmission line to deliver raw
water from the Colorado River to the town's reservoir.
The above examples are among several that illustrate challenges faced by local communities in
2002. The year's historically severe conditions also posed a considerable challenge to the
Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program, stretching the fund's existing resources to
meet extraordinary needs.
Rural Health Care
In 2002, budget shortfalls threatened the availability of vital health care services in several rural —
Colorado communities. Fifteen counties or multi-county areas faced substantial cuts in state
funding and several counties faced costly hospital renovation or construction projects.
Throughout the program's 26-year history, Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance funds have
been awarded to help communities develop and maintain their healthcare delivery systems
through individual public facility projects. However, 2002 marked an unprecedented year where —
funding increased significantly for health and human services projects.
In total, $2,416,371 in Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance funds were directed to nine —
projects, providing much-needed relief to community-based health care facilities and services.
Projects receiving grant funds ranged from structural improvements to Kiowa County's _
Weisbrod Memorial Hospital and Nursing Home, to construction of a new hospital in Rio Grande
County, including a surgical ward, emergency room and acute care services.

While funding was awarded to specific counties, many of the projects provide health care and —
employment opportunities to large multi-county areas. The improvements made possible
through Impact grants to these projects will benefit more than 200,000 citizens throughout rural
Colorado.

Transportation/Roads
During 2002, Impact grants awarded to counties and municipalities for reconstruction and
maintenance of county and municipal roads and streets amounted to $8 million, nearly double
the prior year's amount of$4.3 million. Much of the Impact program's investment is designed to
_ help local governments adequately maintain roads that are significantly impacted by the heavy
trucks and equipment used in extraction operations. This year, a total of 19 projects were
funded for activities dealing with asphalt overlay, road reconstruction, bridge replacements,
paving, intersection improvements and intersection realignments. Examples of current projects:
Weld County Road (WCR) 39 is a heavily traveled
county road east of LaSalle and Gilcrest. The road
runs north and south through the Wattenburg
j , ! energy field, which has over 6000 oil and gas wells.
# Oil trucks that gather oil, and trucks that drill and
service the wells use this road to access the area.
, The heavy truck traffic requires the road
` "" '` improvements for safety reasons. Two
ItFik intersections on the road have had accidents
involving oil and gas traffic due to poor sight
distance and poor alignment. There were three
traffic fatalities at one of the intersections involving
an oil and gas truck. Improvements to the two
intersections will correct the road's alignment and
4I4 will address sight distance problems.
The Town of Firestone received Impact funds to improve three miles of WCR 24 east of the 1-25
frontage road. The project will widen the road to three lanes, including a center turn lane, and
provide for drainage improvements and utility relocations at a total project cost of approximately
$3.4 million. The town is located in one of the most intensely developed oil and gas fields in the
state. The town is also facing significant residential growth and instituted a regional
infrastructure impact fee of$5,000 per residential unit that is to being used to finance a major
portion of this project.
Las Animas County received Impact funds to make improvements to two roads shared by the
City and County. Road improvements include asphalt overlay, patching and blade leveling of
"- four miles of road. The roads are connector roads bridging the city limits and county
boundaries. Road jurisdiction and maintenance is equally shared by the City and County.
Industry vehicles that utilize these roads contribute considerable damage to the roads by
carrying in excess of 60,000 pounds. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation,
each vehicle in excess of 60,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight has the same impact as 1,300
passenger cars. This project also used funds to purchase five belly dump gravel trailers to
replace the existing fleet of trailers used to maintain the vast county road system that is
impacted by the energy industry activity in the county.
Post-UMTRAP
In the 1970's, the federal government began the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Program
(UMTRAP) to remove uranium mill tailings, a sand-like material containing low-level radioactive
elements, from a dozen Western Colorado communities. The mill tailings are a by-product of
Page 6
the energy and weapons industries, and were used for construction purposes in and around the
foundations of structures and utilities. Under Congressional appropriation the program was
funded with 90 percent federal money and 10 percent state funds.
Since 1975, over$700 million was spent to remove over 15 million cubic yards of the material
from over 5000 properties. The state contributed $70 million as its 10% share, more than half of
this from the Local Government Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program.

In 1998, Congress terminated funding for the surface site remediation program. However, this —
left millions of tons of the material still in the communities. Long-term tasks required over the
coming decades and well into the next century are associated with the mill tailings. Monitoring
of sites, contaminated groundwater, handling and the prevention of future exposure remain a
necessity for Colorado. Estimates of public costs over the next 25 years range between $10
and $20 million.
Recognizing the need for sustained, long-term remediation, the Colorado Legislature initiated —'
HB 97-1248 (CRS 39-29-116), to bring together several state and local entities, including the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado
(AGNC) to form the Post UMTRA Program (Post-UMTRAP). The AGNC was given coordination
responsibilities of the remediation activities with the City of Grand Junction providing interim
waste storage facilities. In 2002, approximately 5,250 cubic yards of uranium tailings soils and
debris were added to storage at the Interim Storage Facility (ISF) in Grand Junction. The —
largest source of this material was infrastructure repair by the City of Grand Junction. This
material was then transported to the DOE Cheney Disposal Cell in April 2002.
Impact Program funds awarded in 2002 for Post-UMTRAP activities amounted to $323,684
under two separate contracts, with the AGNC in Region 11 and the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) plus and additional $40,000 funded under the AGNC _
technical assistance contract. Since 1999, costs paid out of the Local Government Severance
Tax Fund for these activities have totaled $1.8 million. Over the same period, the Post-
UMTRAP set aside fund balance was responsible for a like amount in interest earnings, thus
preserving the long term financial capacity needed to respond to local government costs.
To illustrate the ongoing activity generated by the uranium mill tailings remediation process, in
2002, a total of 2600 requests were taken by the CDPHE for review of building permits in areas
previously contaminated with uranium mill tailings. There were 20 cubic yards of contaminated
material discovered and removed in the process of construction. In addition, during property
sales, over 3000 inquiries were made regarding properties in areas previously contaminated,
and 1300 reports were composed. —

2002 PROGRAM ACTIVITIES. In 2002, 207 projects funded. It should be noted that extensive
staff work with potential applicants significantly reduces the number of non-competitive
proposals before an application is submitted for consideration. With strong revenues the first
half of calendar year 2002, matched with significant local needs for financial assistance, grant
and loan awards for projects reached a record $39.6 million. Much higher than the $28.5 million
awarded in 2001 for 180 projects and the $31.7 million awarded in 2000 for 161 projects. The
latest three-year trend is substantially higher than the amounts awarded in 1999 ($28.2 million
for 158 projects), in 1998 ($19.5 million for 167 projects) and in 1997 ($10.9 million for 101
projects). Details of 2002 awards are shown in Exhibits A and B.
Exhibit A is a listing of all awards made in 2002. The format of this list includes descriptions of
the energy and mineral impacts in each county and complete descriptions of each project. The
listing also includes information on matching funds for each project. Note that grant and loan
awards in 2002 totaled over $39.6 million and matching funds totaled over$142 million, about
$3.58 in local and other funds for each dollar of investment. This is a total of over$181 million
in projects benefiting Colorado residents.
The Department works closely with local governments to ensure grant and loan activity is
conducted in accordance with constitutional provisions related to debt, spending and revenue
limitations. In some cases, grant and/or loan offers will not be contracted until voters ratify
projects through a local election. Should the electorate reject the offer of a grant or loan,
projects will not be implemented. The Department has modified its schedule for grant/loan
review processes to allow for local elections if necessary.
As shown in Exhibit B, the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program has continued to
focus on various public facilities, including water and sewage infrastructure, and public safety
needs in smaller communities. In addition, as communities have grappled with increased
natural gas development and other extraction activities, a significant number of road
improvement projects were funded in 2002.
In both the severance tax and federal mineral lease distribution statutes, the Department is
responsible for sending a portion of the funds directly back to municipalities and counties based
on employee residence reports from mineral producers. These direct distribution summaries
are reported in Exhibit C and Exhibit D.
The distribution of funds in 2002 through the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program is
summarized in five exhibits. These exhibits reflect, in a combined fashion, distributions from
both the Local Government Severance Tax Fund and the Local Government Mineral Impact
Fund.

ORIGINS OF THE PROGRAM. Throughout its history, Colorado has experienced the booms
and busts of energy and mineral production. The fluctuations of international marketplaces for
precious and base metals, coal, oil, gas, carbon dioxide, uranium and other radioactive
materials, oil shale, helium and other natural resources have profoundly affected Colorado,
particularly small, rural communities near the geological resource deposits. Until the Local
Government Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program was created in 1977, few attempts
Page 8
were made to moderate these impacts and to assist the communities affected by cyclical periods
of prosperity and decline.
State Severance Tax. In 1977, the General Assembly enacted legislation establishing a state
severance tax on certain minerals. In that legislation, the Legislature found that "when
nonrenewable natural resources are removed from the earth, the value of such resources to the —
state of Colorado is irretrievably lost." The Legislature declared that the severance tax is a
means for the state "to recapture a portion of this lost wealth ... removed from the soil of this
state and sold for private profit" and expressed its intent that"a portion be made available to local _
governments to offset the impact created by nonrenewable resource development."
The severance tax legislation called for a portion of revenues from this new tax to be deposited
in the Local Government Severance Tax Fund and to be distributed by the Executive Director of —
the Department of Local Affairs. According to the statute, fifteen percent of the severance tax
revenue credited to the fund is required to be distributed directly to counties and municipalities
on the basis of the relative number of production employees residing in the unincorporated areas —
of such counties and in the boundaries of such incorporated municipalities. "Eighty-five percent
of the funds from the Local Government Severance Tax Fund shall be distributed to those
political subdivisions socially or economically impacted" by the development, processing, or —
energy conversion of minerals and mineral fuels subject to severance taxation. Such funds shall
be "used for the planning, construction, and maintenance of public facilities and for the provision
of public services."
Federal Mineral Leasing Funds. In 1977, the General Assembly also enacted legislation
directing a portion of the state's receipts of federal mineral lease revenues to be deposited in a
Local Government Mineral Impact Fund for distribution by the Executive Director of the
Department of Local Affairs to"state agencies, public schools and political subdivisions of the
state" impacted by mineral and energy development"for planning, construction and maintenance
of public facilities and for public services." In 1982, the Legislature called for additional federal —
mineral lease funds to be deposited in the Fund and required that a small portion be distributed
on the basis of the residence of employees of mineral producers. The statute requires that
"priority shall be given to those public schools and political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of fuels and minerals leased
under said federal mineral lands leasing act."
STATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The 1977 enabling legislation called for the creation of a
state "Energy Impact Assistance Advisory Committee." The statutory purpose of the committee
is to "review the existing and potential impact of the development, processing or energy —
conversion of mineral and fuel resources on various areas of the state, including areas indirectly
affected" and to"make ... recommendations to the Department of Local Affairs, including, but not
limited to:
➢ the immediate and projected problems which the local governments are experiencing in
providing governmental services;
➢ those actions deemed reasonably necessary and practicable to assist impacted areas...;
➢ the extent of local tax resources available...;
➢ the extent of local tax effort in solving energy impacted problems; and
➢ other problems ... such as housing and environmental considerations, which have —
developed as a direct result of energy impact."
Page 9 _
By statute, the committee consists of:
- Executive Director, Colorado Department of Local Affairs (Chair)
- Colorado Commissioner of Education
- Executive Director, Colorado Department of Transportation
- Executive Director, Colorado Department of Natural Resources
- Five residents of areas impacted by energy conversion or mineral resource
development.
The residents of impacted areas are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Governor for
terms not exceeding four years. Members are eligible for reappointment. State department
directors serving on the Committee may designate agency officials to act in their place.
•
The vast majority of the funding requests received are reviewed by the advisory committee prior
to funds being awarded. Funding decisions are made by the Executive Director of the
Department of Local Affairs and generally reflect the recommendations of the committee.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES. In 1999, the Department undertook an extensive examination of its
program guidelines that outline the basic priorities, policies and procedures for administration of
the program. Until that time, the program guidelines had not been updated since 1995. Based
on extensive discussions with a policy advisory group composed of representatives from the
extractive industries and local governments, program guidelines were revised to make the
program even more responsive to direct energy and mineral impacts, re-emphasizing the
statutory priority given to political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the
development, processing or energy conversion of minerals and mineral fuels.
— The program guidelines include the criteria used in funding decisions. These funding criteria
reflect the statutory purposes of the program, incorporate the statutory responsibilities given to
the advisory committee and include the decisions agreed to by a policy advisory group of local
and state government and extraction industry officials in 1999 which include:
➢ The relative extent of negative impact from energy and mineral development, including
bust conditions. The program maintains flexibility to respond to areas throughout the
state with lesser impacts.
➢ The relationship of the proposed project to the negative impact. The maximum grant
guideline is $300,000. However, for projects with strong and direct relationship to
energy and mineral impacts, the maximum grant guideline may be increased to
$600,000. Multi-cycle and multi-year awards may also be considered, subject to funding
constraints.
➢ Local priority. Industry participation in the countywide prioritization of funding requests is
` strongly encouraged.
➢ The amount of other funds leveraged including community and energy/mineral industry
financial support. Lower amounts of local matching funds may be allowed for projects
with strong and direct relationship to energy and mineral impacts.
➢ The applicant's fiscal capacity and ability to pay;
➢ The availability of alternative funding to address the impact situation.
Page 10
Projects are generally reviewed and prioritized by local advisory teams, at the county level,
before being reviewed by the State Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Advisory Committee.
The committee makes recommendations to the Executive Director of the Department of Local Affairs as to whether applications should receive full, partial, or no funding. The committee will
also assist the executive director in determining whether the local government applicant has
demonstrated that a "strong and direct relationship to energy and mineral impact" exists when —
applicable. The Executive Director makes the final funding decisions.
In accordance with the decisions of the 1999 policy advisory group, the department will also —
maintain a fund balance adequate to buffer local governments from major closures or
reductions, as well as from any significant refunds to severance taxpayers. The department
intends to maintain a fund balance approximately equal to average annual revenue receipts.
In addition, department staff will continue to publicize the program including the industry's role
by: issuing press releases (including press releases summarizing awards within the various
regions); continuing the enhancement of the annual program report (including fuller descriptions of projects); encouraging program signage to be placed at local project sites which indicate the
source of funds, attending ground breaking and ribbon cutting ceremonies and other media
events and participating in media interviews about the program upon request. —

MEMORANDUM Bob Brooks
Executive Director
TO: Severance Tax Direct Distribution Recipients
FROM: Bob Brooks, Executive Director ofeer
DATE: August 15, 2002
- SUBJECT: The FY 2002 Direct Distribution of Severance Taxes to Municipalities &
Counties
Section 39-29-110 (1)(c)of the Colorado Revised Statutes directs the Department of
Local Affairs to distribute 15 percent of the revenues collected in the Local
Government Severance Tax Fund to counties or municipalities on the basis of
.- residence of severance taxpayer production empoyees as reported to the Department
of Revenue by severance taxpayers.
Total funds available this year show a slight 8% decline over last year's level which
was double that for 2000. The number of employees reported this year increased 10
percent. The funds paid per employee, per category, in this year's distribution are as
follows: $2,031.32 for oil/gas, $324.10 for coal, and $33.78 for metals.
Municipalities and counties are cautioned to not assume that future oil/gas direct
distributions will stay at these levels. Prices have already fallen significantly and state
severance tax revenues from oil and gas are also expected to fall.
The employee residency figures used for this direct distribution computation are from
reports provided by the State Department of Revenue, which, in turn, receives the
information from the severance taxpayers. By dividing the total number of reported
employees for oil/gas, coal, and metals into the respective severance tax receipts for
each of the mineral types, we have obtained the payment per reported employee
figures given at the bottom of the attached report. Multiplication by the number of
employees in each jurisdiction and then summing across all types of mineral, gives
the total payment figures.
If you have any questions regarding this distribution, please contact Steve Colby at
(303) 866-4820.
