ANNEXATION IMPACT REPORT
The purpose of this annexation is to incorporate the City' s water
treatment facilities into the city limits. The area will be used only
for water treatment purposes. The City performed a comprehensive
environmental assessment for this area in September 1993 entitled
"Request for Environmental Information Submittal , " which the City had to
prepare as a condition of receiving Federal funding for the project. No
significant environmental impacts were identified. In terms of impacts
on City infrastructure, the following impacts have been identified:
1. Water Infrastructure. The annexation will have no negative
impacts on the City' s water system. As the terminus of the
Southern Water Supply Project pipeline and location of the
water treatment facilities, water will be available onsite
for facility needs. Without the facilities that are to be
located within this annexation, the City will not be able to
comply with State and Federal drinking water standards and
obtain its goal of providing a high quality water source for
its citizens. The same holds true for the Town of Hudson,
which will also receive its treated water supply from this
site. Hence, the impact of the annexation on the City water
system will be a positive one.
2. Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure. Wastes from the water
treatment facility will include wastes from the restroom and
laboratory area, and wastewater from the treatment process.
A sewer line has been funded and is being constructed to
transport wastes from the water treatment facility to the
City' s sanitary sewer collection system. The portion of the
City sewer system into which these wastes will be discharged
are adequate for the additional load, which could vary during
the course of the day from 10 to 70 gallons per minute,
depending upon operational practices. The City' s wastewater
treatment plant will have no problem treating the wastes from
the water treatment plant.
3. Storm Drainage. Storm drainage is being handled onsite with
grading and detention areas. The offsite runoff will not
exceed historical levels.
4. Roads/Traffic. Access to the site will be the extension of
the improved portion of County Road 16 east of Aristocrat
Ranchettes. Traffic will increase during the construction
period, but after construction is complete, no significant
traffic impacts are expected. The road to the water
treatment plant is being improved from dirt to gravel road as
part of the water treatment plant construction contract.
Plant personnel and occasional chemical supply trucks and
visitors will be the only traffic that will be allowed to
enter the site.
1
5. Environmental/Other. As stated above, a comprehensive
environmental assessment has been completed as a part the
City's water project. No significant environmental impacts
are associated with the project or with the annexation to
incorporate the water project area into the city limits.

Supportive Information
A. Soils Description and Limitations
According to the September 1980 "Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado—
Southern Pan" prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil
Conservation Service (SCS) in cooperation with the Colorado Agricultural
Experiment Station, eight primary soil types are prevalent in the proposed Badding
Annexation area. A general location of these soils is shown on Figures S-1 and S-2,
which have been taken from the SCS report. A general description of these soils
classes is as follows. These descriptions should not be used as a basis for the design
of any structures or improvements on the site. A site-specific soils investigation
should be conducted to determine the specific properties of the soils.
1. 13—Julesburg-Bresser
This is a deep, level and nearly level, well drained sandy loam formed in
alluvium. Julesburg soils have a sandy loam surface layer and subsoil. Bresser
soils have a sandy loam surface layer and a sandy clay loam subsoil. This soil type
is used mainly for irrigated cropland. The potential is good for urban development
and fair for openland wildlife habitat.
2. 44—Olney Loamy Sand, 1 to 3 Percent Slopes
This is a deep, well drained soil on smooth plains at elevations of 4,600 to
5,200 feet. It formed in mixed outwash deposits.
Typically the surface layer is grayish brown loamy sand about 9 inches thick.
The subsoil is yellowish brown and very pale brown sandy clay loam about 15 inches
thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is very pale brown, calcareous fine
sandy loam.
Permeability and available water capacity are moderate. The effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low.
The potential native vegetation on this range site is dominated by sand bluestem,
sand reedgrass, and blue grama. Needleandthread, switchgrass, sideoats grama,
and western wheatgrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from
2,200 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1,800 pound in unfavorable years. As
{25325.100; 12/18,95} SI-1
range condition deteriorates, the sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, and switchgrass
decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed, and sand sage increase. Annual weeds
and grasses invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.
Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving
half of the total annual production. Seeding is desirable if the range is in poor
condition. Sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, switchgrass, sideoats grama, blue grama,
pubescent wheatgrass, and crested wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. The grass
selected should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock. It can be seeded into
a clean, firm sorghum stubble, or it can be drilled into a firm prepared seedbed.
Seeding early in spring has proven most successful.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally suited to this soil. Soil
blowing, the principal hazard in establishing trees and shrubs, can be controlled
by cultivating only in the tree row and by leaving a strip of vegetation between the
rows. Supplemental irrigation may be needed at the time of planting and during dry
periods. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain
juniper,eastern redcedar,ponderosa pine, Siberian elm,Russian-olive, and hackberry.
The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub.
This soil has good potential for urban development. The only limiting feature
is the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of
ground water contamination from sewage lagoons. The loamy sand surface layer is
a limitation for recreational development. Once established, the lawns, shrubs, and
trees grow well.
3. 45—Olney Loamy Sand, 3 to 5 Percent Slopes
This is a deep, well drained soil on plains at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet.
It formed in mixed outwash deposits. Included with this soil type are small areas of
soils that have sandstone and shale within a depth of 60 inches and some small
leveled areas.
Typically the surface layer of this Olney soil is grayish brown loamy sand about
7 inches thick. The subsoil is yellowish brown and very pale brown sandy clay loam
about 14 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is very pale brown,
calcareous fine sandy loam.
Permeability and available water capacity are moderate. The effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard if low.
{25325.100; 12/18/95) SI-2
The potential native vegetation on this range site is dominated by sand bluestem,
sand reedgrass, and blue grama. Needleandthread, switchgrass, sideoats grama, and
western wheatgrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from
2,200 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1,800 pounds in unfavorable years. As
range condition deteriorates, the sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, and switchgrass
decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed, and sand sage increase. Annual weeds and
grasses invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally suited to this soil. Soil
blowing, the principal hazard in establishing trees and shrubs, can be controlled by
cultivating only in the tree row and by leaving a strip of vegetation between the rows.
Supplemental irrigation may be needed at the time of planting and during dry
periods. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain
juniper,eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine,Siberian elm, Russian-olive, and hackberry.
The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub.
This soil has good potential for urban development. The only limiting feature
is the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of
ground water contamination from sewage lagoons. The loamy sand surface layer is
a limitation for recreational development. Once established, the lawns, shrubs, and
trees grow well.
4. 69—Valent Sand, 0 to 3 Percent Slopes
This is a deep, excessively drained soil on plains at elevations of 4,650 to
5,100 feet. It formed in eolian deposits. Included with this soil type are small areas
of soils that have lime within a depth of 40 inches.
Typically the surface layer is brown sand about 8 inches thick. The underlying
material to a depth of 60 inches is brown sand.
Permeability is rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective
rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard
is low.
This soil is suited to limited cropping. Intensive cropping is hazardous because
of erosion. The cropping system should be limited to such close grown crops as
alfalfa, wheat, and barley. The soil also is suited to irrigated pasture. A suitable
cropping system is 3 to 4 years of alfalfa followed by 2 years of corn and small grain
and alfalfa seeded with a nurse crop.
(25325.100; 12/18/95) SI-3
The potential vegetation is dominated by sand bluestem, sand reedgrass,
switchgrass, sideoats grama, needleandthread, little bluestem, and blue grama.
Potential production ranges from 2,500 pounds per acre in favorable years to
1,800 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the sand
bluestem, switchgrass, sand reedgrass, sideoats grama, and little bluestem decrease,
forage production drops, and sand sage increases. Undesirable weeds and annuals
invade and "blowout" conditions can occur as range condition becomes poorer.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are fairly well suited to this soil.
Blowing sand and the moderate available water capacity are the principal hazards in
establishing trees and shrubs. The soil is so loose that trees should be planted in
shallow furrows, maintaining vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation
is needed to insure survival. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are
Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, and Siberian elm. The
shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub.
This soil has fair potential for urban development. The primary limiting soil
features are the rapid permeability and the susceptibility to soil blowing. Septic tank
absorption fields function properly, but in places the sandy substratum does not
properly filter the leachate. Sewage lagoons must be sealed. Once established, the
lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well.
5. 70—Valent Sand, 3 to 9 Percent Slopes
This is a deep, excessively drained soil on plains at elevations of 4,650 to
5,100 feet. It formed in eolian deposits. Included with this soil type are small areas
of soils that have lime within a depth of 40 inches. Also included are small areas of
soils that have sandstone between 40 and 60 inches.
Typically the surface layer of the Valent soil is brown sand about 6 inches thick.
The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is brown sand.
Permeability is rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective
rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard
is low.
The potential vegetation is dominated by sand bluestem, sand reedgrass,
switchgrass, sideoats grama, needleandthread, little bluestem, and blue grama.
Potential production ranges from 2,500 pounds per acre in favorable years to
1,800 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the sand

invade and "blowout" conditions can occur as range condition becomes poorer.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally not suited to this soil.
Onsite investigation is needed to determine if plantings are feasible.
This soil has fair potential for urban development. The chief limiting soil
features are the rapid permeability and the susceptibility to soil blowing. Septic
tank absorption fields function properly, but in places the sandy substratum does not
properly filter the leachate. Sewage lagoons must be sealed. Once established,
lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well.
6. 72—Vona Loamy Sand, 0 to 3 Percent Slopes
This is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil on plains and high terraces at
elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in eolian and alluvial deposits. Included
with this soil type are some leveled areas. Also included are small areas of soils that
have a loamy substratum and some areas of soils that are noncalcareous to a depth
of 60 inches.
Typically the surface layer of this Vona soil is grayish brown. The upper 6 inches
is loamy sandy and the lower 6 inches is fine sandy loam. The subsoil is brown and
light yellowish brown fine sandy loam about 16 inches thick. The substratum to a
depth of 60 inches is sandy loam.
Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The
effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion
hazard is low.
The potential native vegetation on this range site is dominated by sand bluestem,
sand reedgrass, and blue grama. Needleandthread, switchgrass, sideoats grama, and
western wheatgrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from
2,200 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1,800 pounds in unfavorable years. As
range condition deteriorates, the sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, and switchgrass
decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed and sand sage increase. Annual weeds and
grasses invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are fairly well suited to this soil.
Blowing sand and low available water capacity are the principal hazards in estab-
lishing trees and shrubs. The soil is so loose that trees should be planted in shallow
furrows and vegetation maintained between the rows. Supplemental irrigation is
