STEWART, AICP ADMINISTRATOR -9- 0F'c0 0 02 N O WATER QUALITY CONTROL COMMISSION 1876 NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING BEFORE THE COLORADO WATER QUALITY CONTROL COMMISSION SUBJECT: For consideration of adoption of amendments to the Clean Water Plan (208) of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) which address changes for treatment plants and/or service areas for the Towns of Lochbuie, Barr Lake Metropolitan District, City of Thornton, and South Adams County Water & Sanitation District. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ENCOURAGED: The Commission encourages all interested persons to provide their opinions or data concerning the proposed amendments orally or in writing at the date, time and location indicated below: DATE: MONDAY, JULY 1, 1985 TIME: 9:00 A.M. PLACE: ROOM 150 - COLORADO DEPT. OF HEALTH BLDG. 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DENVER, COLORADO PURPOSE OF HEARING: The Federal Clean Water Act requires that areawide water quality management plans be updated to reflect changes. At this hearing the Commission shall approve, conditionally approve, or reject the plan submitted by DRCOG. On February 20, 1985, DRCOG adopted a number of amendments to its Clean Water Plan (208) following a public hearing on January 16, 1985. These amendments are described in the executive summary attached to this Notice. SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY: The provisions of Section 25-8-105; 25-8-202(1)(h) ; 25-8-401(1); 25-8-503(2); and 25-8-702(2)(a) , C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for consideration of the plan updates proposed by this Notice. 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DEN VER,COLORADO 80220 PHONE (303) 320-8333 -10- NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING Page 2 DRCOG 208 Plan A rulemaking hearing is not being held because the plan updates are being considered only as a statement of policy, and are not intended to be binding as regulations. PROCEDURAL AUTHORITY FOR PUBLIC HEARING: The provisions of Section 24-4-103, C.R.S.; the "Procedural Regulations for all Proceedings before the Water Quality Control Commission and the Water Quality Control Division" (the Procedural Regulations) (5 CCR 1002-1); and the Commission' s current "Regulations for State of Colorado Continuing Planning Process" contained in Section 5.4.0 of Article 5, Regulations of General Applicability, of the Regulations, Policies and Guidelines of the Water Quality Control Commission (5 CCR 1002-14) provide the procedural authority for this hearing. This hearing may be reconvened at such time and place as the Commission may announce. PARTY STATUS : Since the purpose of this hearing is to consider non—rulemaking amendments to a regional wastewater management plan in accordance with 25-8-105(3)(a) of C.R.S. , rather than as regulations, party status requests will be neither required nor considered. The purpose of this hearing is to provide opportunity for interested persons to submit written and oral data, views and comments on the plan. Written statements may be presented prior to and at the hearing. It is proposed that no additional statements will be received after the close of the hearing; however, if there is justifiable reason, as determined by the Commission, the Commission may choose to leave the record open for an additional period of time. The hearing will remain open until all persons present and desiring to make statements have been heard. PROCEDURAL MATTERS: The Commission, after notice and hearing, shall approve , conditionally approve, or reject a plan or an amendment developed by a management or planning agency within one hundred eighty (180) days after submittal of the plan or amendment by the management or planning agency to the Division. Only those portions of a regional wastewater management plan which are adopted as a regulation by the Commission pursuant to Section 24-4-103, C.R.S. shall be binding on regulatory decisions, including, but not limited to, site approvals , construction grants, point or non-point source control decisions , or for purposes of any Federal law, regulation, or action. No regulations are proposed at this time as part of this hearing. -11- NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING Page 3 DRCOG 208 Plan The Commission may take two separate actions on this update. The first is to consider approving the update. That decision will be made after this hearing. Commission approval constitutes State approval. In making its approval decision, the Commission will consider all recommended conditions and comments relating to the plan including those from the public, DRCOG, and State agencies. The second action that the Commission may take at some point in the future is adopting part of the plan as control regulations. Such action shall be by public hearing preceded by at least 60 days notice. The approval may be conditioned so that only parts of the plan are accepted; other parts may be accepted in the future; for example , if certain changes are made. Any approval may also be subject to annual review and update. If the Commission makes an approval decision, the update will go to the Governor for his determination of whether to certify it to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and if the Governor certifies the proposed extension of the Clean Water Plan for a State Planning and Management Region he will submit it to the EPA and the EPA will make the final decision as to whether the requirements of the Federal law are met. Copies of the respective plan are available for review in the Office of the Administrator, Water Quality Control Commission, Room 319, 4210 East 11th Avenue , Denver, Colorado, and in the offices of the Denver Regional Council of Governments , 2480 West 26th Avenue, Suite 200B, Denver, CO 80204. DATED this 11th day of April, 1985, at Denver, Colorado. WATER QUALITY CONTROL COMMISSION i / 4.‘" ALAN M. STEWART, AICP ADMINISTRATOR AMS:mds -12- EXECUTIVE SURMARY Town of Lochbuie Amendment Description: Adams County submitted an application on behalf of the Town of Lochbuie to amend the Clean Water Plan (CWP). The amendment requests an increase in the existing service area to a total of 6,172 acres — 2,542 acres of which are in Adams County — an increse in the capacity of the wastewater treatment facility to 1.3 mgd, designation as the service agency for the expanded service area, and a participant in a management agency structure which would include the City of Brighton and Adams County. The expanded service area is considered the ultimate service area for the Town of Lochbuie. This service area parallels the Adams County Land Use Plan which discourages growth in the Barr Lake Floodplain and identifies the area west of Interstate 76 as mixed urban use. Expansion of the currently defined ultimate service area is precluded by both natural and man-made barriers. These barriers include a ridge running north-south three miles west of the town boundary, the Bowles and Beebe seep basins, and a railroad line and interstate highway to the southeast. The Town of Lochbuie has an agreement with the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) , which operates the Beebe Seep Canal, to accept up to 1.29 mgd of the Town' s secondary treated effluent. The existing facility is currently at 50 percent of its 0.18 mgd capacity and serves about 900 residents. It is estimated the current capacity can handle the needs of Lochwood PUD' s first phase of development. Additional capacity would be required as additional development phases of the Lochwood PUD occur and as the Bromley development begins. The town has determined the current site of the treatment facility can handle an expansion to 1.3 mgd using aerated lagoons. An increase in capacity beyond 1.3 mgd would require the selection of a new site and mechanical treatment (activated sludge) as well as an agreement with FRICO or some other entity to accept the additional effluent. The Town of Lochbuie is the logical service agency for the proposed service area expansion because natural and man-made barriers preclude other entities from servicing the area in a cost-effective manner. In addition, estimates of growth by Larimer/Weld COG and Brighton indicate a need for treatment capacity of 1.3 mgd. The management agency for the service area is recommended to be established through a joint agreement between the Town of Lochbuie, the City of Brighton and Adams County. r -13- Executive Summary — con' t. : DRCOG 208 Plan Rancho Lorraine (Barr Lake Metropolitan District) Amendment Request: This amendment designates a 0.2 mgd wastewater plant to serve a 320 acre urban development contiguous to the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District amendment. The property is situated directly south of Barr Lake State Park. The development is proposed to contain 752 dwelling units along with 15 acres of support commercial uses. The formation of a metropolitan district is being proposed to service these uses. In 1978, the Barr Lake Village Water District was formed with their primary function being that of water supply and distribution for the site. In January 1984, the District was given conditional approval by the County to expand as a metro district to include nine additional functions. Metropolitan district approval, however, was contingent upon approval of the amendments to the DRCOG plans. Such amendments have been made with adoption by the DRCOG Board of Directors of the Regional Development Framework and this amendment to the Clean Water Plan. This plant , like the South Adams Facility, is expected to meet the immediate development needs of the service area. However, the basin master plan is expected to determine the best long-term solution to water quality management in this basin. Adams County is working with DRCOG to prepare that plan. The County is the water quality management agency designated for the area which includes the Barr Lake Village Metropolitan District. Approval of the Rancho Lorraine amendment was conditioned by the DRCOG Board on the inclusion by Adams County in the platting of this service area of certain conditions on plant performance to protect the City of Brighton' s water supply. City of Thornton Amendment Request Description: The amendment increases Thornton' s service area to include an area to the north and east of Thornton' s city limits, in order to provide wastewater service as the area develops. By providing wastewater service to the proposed area, Thornton hopes to prevent the proliferation of well-based independent districts which could become an economic hardship to the citizens of Thornton should the City be forced to take over such districts in the future. Currently the wastewater flows generated in Thornton' s existing municipal limits are part of the service area of the Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. One (MDSDD#l) . Thornton and MDSDD#1 have an agreement whereby MDSDD#1 accepts and treats all wastewater flows generated within Thornton. In the proposed service area extension wastewater generated in the Big Dry Creek and the Brantner/South Platte basins would be pumped to MDSDD#1 through the -14- Executive Summary - con' t. : DRCOG 208 Plan year 2000. The long-term solution would be the construction of a 22 mgd wastewater treatment facility along the South Platte River. This facility would treat wastewater generated from Big Dry Creek and Todd Creek basins and discharge effuent to the Burlington Ditch. Wastewater generated in the Brantner/South Platte basin would continue to be pumped to MDSDD#1 for treatment and discharge. Wastewater connection of the proposed service area to peripheral interceptors in the existing service area would meet the short-term needs of the proposed area. This extension of sewer lines would be at a cost of 19.7 million dollars. Project costs for an additional treatment facility and conveyance system would be 201.6 million dollars. The amendment identifies Thornton as the service entity for the new service area and indicates continued service at the MDSDD#1 facility through the year 2000. Thornton and Adams County will jointly serve as the management agency through an intergovernmental agreement. Thornton is in the process of revising its comprehensive plan to include this area. The DRCOG Board approved this amendment subject to the approval of Thornton' s Planned Urbanization Area when Thornton completes that planning. The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District Amendment Request Urban development is anticipated in the area north and east of the existing service area of the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District. This amendment changes the service area to provide wastewater service to developments expected in the near future. The amendment does not increase the capacity of the District' s wastewater treatment facility. DRCOG is coordinating efforts of governmental agencies to prepare a long-range master plan for the First, Second and Third Creek Basins. That master plan will determine the need for plant expansion and new facilities. This amendment will meet the short-term treatment needs of development until the master plan can be completed. The DRCOG Board approved this amendment subject to the execution of the management agency agreement between Adams County, the District and Commerce City. That agreement is in the final stages of approval. -15- .01•CO Fes=-lf 9d WATER QUALITY CONTROL COMMISSION 8Z6 SUMMARY OF MOTIONS APRIL 1, 1985 The meeting of the Water Quality Control Commission was called to order by Vice-Chairman Urbonas at 9:00 A.M. in Room 150, Colorado Department of Health Building, 4210 E. 11th Avenue, Denver, Colorado. MEMBERS PRESENT: Linda Burger, Tad Foster, Cynthia Kahn, Robert Pearson, Myrna Poticha, Tom Smith, Jeffrey Todd and Ben Urbonas. Commissioner Baumgartner was absent. STAFF PRESENT: For the Water Quality Control Division - Gary Broetzman, Robert McConnell, Jon Scherschligt, Dennis Anderson, and Greg Parsons. From the Attorney General's office - Rick Griffith. From the Commission office - Alan Stewart and Marsha Smith. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: After discussion of the sequence and timeframe of some of the items on the agenda it was approved by consensus. No formal motion was made. RULEMAKING HEARING - CACHE LA POUDRE RIVER: After hearing and deliberation on this matter, Commissioner Foster moved that the nitrite standard for Segments 11 and 12 of the Cache La Poudre River be amended to 2.7 mg/1 with a footnote to the standard indicating that the 2.7 is based on a 20 mg/l chloride value as a 30-day average. The motion was seconded by Jeffrey Todd. There was lengthy discussion by the Commissioners and Division staff of the chloride value and whether or not it should be included in a footnote to the nitrite standard, in the Statement of Basis and Purpose, or in both. After further discussion, Commissioner Foster amended his original motion to state that the nitrite standard NO2-N for Segments 11 and 12 of the Cache La Poudre be 2.7 mg/1 as a 30-day average. He then added that the rationale for this value be addressed in the Statement of Basis and Purpose. This amended motion was seconded by Commissioner Todd. The motion was unanimous. It was noted for the record that Commissioner Burger sat in the audience so as not to participate in this hearing and abstained from voting on this motion. 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DENVER,COLORADO 80220 PHONE (303) 320-8333 -1A- Summary of Motions Page 2 April 1, 1985 Commissioner Urbonas asked the Water Quality Control Division to present to the Commission for their consideration in the afternoon session a revised Statement of Basis and Purpose which incorporated the original Basis and Purpose recommended in the Division's prehearing statement and the changes agreed upon in the morning session. This was done. After lengthy discussion Commissioner Kahn moved that the revised, amended Statement of Basis and Purpose specifying a standard of 2.7 mg/1 N02-N for Segments 11 & 12 of the Cache La Poudre River be adopted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pearson. The motion was unanimously adopted. The fiscal impact statement contained in the original Notice of Hearing was not changed. FINAL ADOPTION OF TWO-YEAR TEMPORARY MODIFICATION FOR COPPER AND LEAD - SEGMENT 8a, IOWA GULCH, ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN: Commissioner Pearson moved for approval of the Statement of Basis and Purpose as contained in the original Notice of Hearing in this matter. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith. Several Commissioners indicated that there were changes they still wanted to make to the Statement of Basis and Purpose. The Commission agreed to a recess so that a subcommittee could formulate changes for incorporation into the Basis & Purpose statement. Consequently, no vote on this motion was taken. After the Commission reconvened and the changes suggested were discussed, Commissioner Pearson amended his prior motion to be that the Commission adopt the proposed Statement of Basis & Purpose and Fiscal Impact Statement for Segment 8a, Iowa Gulch, Arkansas River Basin, as amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith. The motion carried on a vote of 5 to 1, with Commissioners Burger, Foster, Pearson, Smith and Urbonas voting in favor and Commissioner Poticha voting against the motion. Commissioners Kahn and Todd abstained. Commissioner Smith further moved for final adoption of the two-year temporary modification for copper of .05 mg/l and for lead of .05 mg/1 for Segment 8a, Iowa Gulch, Arkansas River Basin, and that all the use classifications and water quality standards remain the same and the underlying standards to remain the same as contained in the present regulation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Pearson. The initial vote was Commissioners Burger, Pearson, Smith and Urbonas in favor of the motion, Commissioners Foster and Poticha against it and Commissioners Kahn and Todd abstaining. When it was recognized there was not a majority of the quorum to carry this motion, Commissioner Foster changed his vote from a No to a Yes, and the motion passed on a final count of 5 to 1 (with 2 abstentions). -17- Summary of Motions Page 3 April 1, 1985 LUNCHEON EXECUTIVE SESSION: Commissioner Kahn moved for an executive session over the lunch period to discuss personnel matters relating to the Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Poticha. It was unanimously approved. SEGMENT 15 SOUTH PLATTE STANDARDS REEXAMINATION: Commissioner Foster moved that an October 1985, hearing date be established to consider whether or not to retain or revise the numeric stream standards for Segment 15 of the mainstem of the South Platte River, that the Division propose a Notice of Public Rulemaking for the Commission's consideration at the June meeting, and that the Commission evaluate in August whether it was timely to proceed to hearing in light of the Basic Standards Task Force effort toward revision of the basic standards regulation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Poticha. It was unanimously approved. DRCOG CLEAN WATER PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR TOWN OF LOCHBUIE, BARR LAKE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT, CITY OF THORNTON, AND SOUTH ADAMS COUNTY WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT: Commissioner Poticha moved to schedule the DRCOG proposed amendments in this matter for hearing in July, 1985. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Pearson. The motion was unanimous. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS/MOTIONS FOR FEBRUARY AND MARCH, 1985: After the Commission discussed some minor changes, Tom Smith moved for approval of the Summary of Proceedings/Motions for February, as amended, and for March, 1985. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Poticha. It was unanimously adopted. APPROVAL OF MAY 1985 AGENDA: The agenda items for the May meeting were approved by consensus of the Commission. No formal vote was made.
