APPLICATION FOR SITE APPROVAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF:
A NEW DOMESTIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
• ATTACHMENT TO SITE APPLICATION
In accordance with C.R.S. 1981, 25-8-702 (2)(a), (b),and(c), and the "Regulations for the Site Application Process",
the Water Quality Control Division must determine that each site location is consistent with the long range,
comprehensive planning for the area in which it is to be located, that the plant on the proposed site will be managed to
minimize the potential adverse impacts on water quality, and must encourage the consolidation of wastewater
treatment works whenever feasible.
In making this determination, the Division requires each applicant for a site approval for a domestic wastewater
treatment works to supply an engineering report describing the project and showing the applicant's capabilities to
manage and operate the facility over the life of the project to determine the potential adverse impacts on water quality.
The report shall be considered the culmination of the planning process and as a minimum shall address the following:
Service area definition including existing and projected population, site location, staging or phasing,
flow/loading projections, and relationship to other water and wastewater treatment plants in the area.
Proposed site location, evaluation of alternative sites, and evaluation of treatment alternatives.
Proposed effluent limitations as developed in coordination with the Division.
Analysis of existing facilities within the service area(s).
Analysis of opportunities for consolidation of treatment works in accordance with the provisions of
22.3(1)(c), including those recommended in the water quality management plan,unless the approved
water quality management plan recommends no consolidation.
Evidence that the proposed site and facility operations will not be adversely effected by floodplain or
other natural hazards. Where such hazards are identified at the selected site, the report shall describe
means of mitigating the hazard.
Evidence shall be presented in the form of a report, containing soils testing results and design
recommendations and prepared by a Professional Geologist and a Geotechnical Engineer, or by a
professional meeting the qualifications of both Professional Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer, with
an appropriate level of experience investigating geologic hazards, stating that the site will support the
proposed facility.
Detailed description of selected alternatives including legal description of the site, treatment system
description, design capacities, and operational staffing needs.
Legal arrangements showing control of site for the project life or showing the ability of the entity to
acquire the site and use it for the project life. Approval by the Division of an application for site
approval shall not be deemed to be a determination that the proposed treatment works is or is not
necessary, that the proposed site is or is not the best or only site upon which to locate such a treatment
works, or that location of a treatment works on the site is or is not a reasonable public use justifying
condemnation of the site. Approval by the Division shall only be deemed to be a determination that the
site application meets the requirement of this regulation 22 (5 CCR 1002-22).
Institutional arrangements such as contract and/or covenant terms which will be finalized to pay for
acceptable waste treatment.
Management capabilities for controlling the wastewater locdings within the capacity limitations of the
proposed treatment works, i.e., user contracts, operating agreements,pretreatment regitirements.and or
the management capabilities to expand the facilities as needed (subject to the appropriate, futureereview
and approval procedures).

' TO: Board of County Commiss' e ,
Q C From: Trevor Jir�k ,, D. Pam Smith, ISDS
Program Coordinator
COLORADO DATE: July 31, 2003
SUBJECT: Hemingway Lodge Site Application
Approval
This request is to increase the size of an existing septic system due to the expansion of
the lodge. The lodge consists of 22 bedrooms total and the expansion will include a
5-bedroom guest house and a locker and exercise building. This system must be
approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as the design
flow exceeds the 2000 gallon per day limit. This system is anticipated to generate a
design flow of 7500 gallons per day after the expansion of the lodge.
The Department recommends approval of the system with the following condition:
1. The applicant shall work with the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment staff for the placement of the monitoring wells in reasonable
proximity to the septic system.
2. An individual sewage disposal system permit from the Weld County Department
of Public Health & Environment is required prior to the installation of the system.
