ATTACHMENT TO SITE APPLICATION
In accordance with C.R.S. 1981, 25-8-702 (2)(a), (b), and (c), and the "Regulations for Site
Applications for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works", 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 which documents the need for the
modifications and construction, consistency with local wastewater facility plans and any approved
water quality management plans. The report shall be considered the culmination of the planning
process and as a minimum shall address the following:
Changes to the existing service area, population and loading projections;
Proposed additional or modified effluent limitations, as developed in coordination with the
Division;
Analysis of the performance of the existing treatment works;
Analysis of alternative means to treat additional loading or accomplish necessary process
modifications, in accordance with 22.3(1)(c), including any consolidation alternatives
recommended in the approved water quality management plan, if the plan recommends no
consolidation, that option does not need to be considered;
Changes in the financial system which will result from the proposed modification or
expansion, including changes to the fee structure;
Implementation plan and schedule, including estimated construction time and estimated date
on which the modified or expanded plant will be in operation.
Depending on the proposed project, some of the above items may not be applicable to address. In
such cases, simply indicate the non -applicability of those.

ATTACHMENT TO SITE APPLICATION
In accordance with C.R.S. 1981, 25-8-702 (2)(a), (b), and (c), and the "Regulations for Site
Applications for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works", 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:
Name and address of the applicant;
A map identifying the site of the proposed facilities, topography of the area, and
neighboring land uses;
Service area including existing and projected population, and flow/loading
projections;
Identification of the treatment entity responsible for receiving and treating the
wastewater;
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).
Confirmation, in writing, from the wastewater treatment entity that it:
Will treat the wastewater;
Is not presently receiving wastes in excess of its design capacity as defined in its site
approval and/or discharge permit, or is under construction, or will be in a
phased construction of new or expanded facilities, and will have necessary
capacity completed and operational prior to the discharge from the new
interceptor or from the new or expanded lift station;
Is not presently in violation of any effluent parameters of its discharge permit or
operating under a Notice of Violation and/or Cease and Desist Order from the
Division resulting from discharge permit violations.
Evidence that the lift station and/or interceptor sewer will be operated and
maintained by a responsible person if the applicant is not the treatment entity; and
