RG AND ASSOCIATES, LLC Gypsum • Loveland • Monte vista • Wheat Ridge www.rgengineers.com • 303-293-8107 MEMO Date: January 2017 To: Local Government Agency From: RG and Associates, LLC RGA Job No. 1054.0001 RE: Additional Information for Review Letter This project proposes a strategy to replace the failing wastewater treatment plant owned by the Galeton Water and Sanitation District. The proposed strategy involves decommissioning the existing lagoon system with a packaged mechanical treatment plant that will be capable of meeting all current and future foreseeable discharge permit requirements. The total cost of the proposed project is approximately $1,100,000. The town is applying for a 75% grant through USDA to help fund the project. The remaining 25% is expected to be in the form of a loan, also through USDA. The repayment of this loan will be supported by rate increases to the users. The proposed packaged mechanical treatment plant will be constructed entirely on land that is already owned by the Galeton Water and Sanitation district and will only disturb previously disturbed soils. The project will not significantly impact land use, important farmland, formally classified lands, prime rangeland, floodplains, wetlands, cultural resources, biological resources, water quality, air quality, transportation, or noise. The project will have positive impacts on groundwater quality as the new packaged mechanical treatment plant will prevent seepage of raw wastewater from the current lagoon system into the groundwater, which avoids contamination being released to the surrounding soil and groundwater. The impact due to construction for any environmental disruption will be temporary in nature. No impacts to protected resources are anticipated. Erosion control measures will be placed during construction as needed to prevent pollution of surface waters and all applicable BMPs will be followed. Should any unanticipated archeological discoveries be made during construction, the contractor will stop work immediately and proper authorities will be notified. 100 YEAR AND 500 YEAR FLOODPLAIN P LAI N MAP GALETON WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT SCALE: 1" = 500' -7 RG AND ASSOCIATES, LLC 4885 Ward Road, Suite 100 •Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Del Norte • Gypsum • Wheat Ridge 303-293-8107 • www.rgengineers.com USGS sown M a chap* waif 1Ox'37'3O- '32:ant 4O'37'3O as97mon 35 449 at9 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.
