CALIFORNIA 95814-4794 1 October 26, 1989 Mr. J.R. Hunt Ranch at Roaring Fork 14913 Colorado State Highway #82 Carbondale, Colorado 81623 Dear Mr. Hunt: I am writing to you concerning a recent inspection of your property on Cattle Creek near the Town of Carbondale, in Garfield County, Colorado. During this inspection, we identified portions of this parcel which are "waters of the United States." These "waters" include Cattle Creek, a narrow band of riparian wetland immediately adjacent to Cattle Creek, and a beaver pond/wetland complex located at the most eastern portion of the parcel. You stated that your plans for the parcel were to subdivide it into smaller 20-30 acre lots for later sale. We indicated that our primary concern involves the potential of a future property owner wanting to drain, fill, cross, or otherwise modify the beaver pond/wetland complex on the easternmost lot. In light of this concern, we recommend that you identify and delineate this wetland area on the plat for this lot and label it as "Wetland - Regulated by the Corps of Engineers." We appreciate your cooperation. Should you have questions, feel free to contact Gary Davis at telephone 243-1199. 8 Sincerely, Grady L. McNure r"..

Hunt 14913 Colorado State Highway *82 Carbondale, Colorado 81623 r"--1 F�(�'' \ i OCT 1 6 1989 liFsl<i i e:�U COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Dear Mr. Hunt: We have learned that you are preparing to subdivide and develop a parcel located adjacent to Cattle Creek near the Town of Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado. We understand that portions of this parcel contain wetlands and other "waters of the United States" which are subject to our regulatory jurisdiction. You should be aware that the Corps of Engineers regulates certain activities in "waters of the United States" under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. "Waters of the United States" include the territorial seas, perennial and ephemeral streams, their lakes and impoundments, and wetlands. Federal law requires that any individual or entity proposing to discharge dredged or fill material into "waters of the United States" obtain a Department of the Army permit prior to commencing such a discharge. Our records indicate that you do not have a Department of the Army permit authorizing a discharge of fill material into "waters of the United States." I strongly recommend that you contact this office to arrange an on-site inspection to ascertain the extent of "waters of the United States" on this parcel. At that time, we will be in a position to inform you whether a Department of the Army permit will be required. Please contact Gary Davis of this office at your earliest convenience to arrange an inspection. Should you have questions, feel free to contact Mr. Davis at telephone 243-1199. L.

Hunt (owner of cattle creek land; breaking 14913 HWY 82 up into seven parcels) Carbondale, Co. 81623 Levenworth and Lockhead (attorneys) Lear Corp Of Engineers, On October 2, 1989 I attended a County Commissioners meeting. During this time 1 became aware of some property on Cattle Creek, approximatly tour miles off Highway 82. This area contains many ponds and wetland areas. Et is my understanding, t•.hat if the Corp Of Engineers does not notify the owner/seller and Garfield County Commissioners of this "riparion" area,its rules and permits concerning its protection and/or change, (ie: 404 permit) there is little that can be done without going through some serious litigation. At this time I request that you make an on site visit and send a letter to the property owners concerning this problem. I would also like a copy of this so I can formally submit this to the next Commissioners meeting, so all "buyaers beware" that they must help protect the environment they are purchasing. I appreciate your action on this and I trust that i will hear from you soon.

Discussion on this agenda item was postponed until November 6 pending notification of adjacent property owners. The owner and potential seller of this property is J.R. Hunt of 14913 Highway 82, Carbondale, Co 81623. The area in question includes numerous ponds and wetlands and is potentially subject to injurious environmental impact should this development proceed without appropriate guidelines, rules and permits guaranteed by the seller of the parcel and future buyers of the property lots. I would like to request that you make a site visit and preliminary assesment of the potential environmental impact of this proposed development and notify the Seller and County Commissioners of your findings prior to the scheduled November 6 meeting. I would also appreciate receiving a copy of your letter. Tl nk you for your attention to this matter. Gunther Weil, Ph.D. SEP 9 1989 1! L LLAjNITY Or -o-7 /77dg/ii,L_ , 376,e.?

DRAWER 2030 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO 81602 TELEPHONE: (303) 945-2261 Mr. J. R. Hunt 14913 Highway 82 Carbondale, CO 81623 Re: Water Supply for Proposed Subdivision Exemption; Cattle Creek Dear Dick: At your request, I have reviewed the water rights engi- neering report prepared by Enartech, Inc. dated August 30, 1989, as well as your Water Right Agreement and License entered into on July 26, 1989, with the Carbondale Land Development Company. At your request, I will be filing the appropriate Water Court applications necessary to implement a legal water supply for your proposed subdivision exemption of seven lots to be located on Cattle Creek, more particularly shown in Enartech's report. In my opinion, we will be able to obtain the necessary Water Court approvals to ensure that the proposed subdivision exemp- tion has a legal water supply for seven lots, with the water requirements shown in Enartech's report. I do not anticipate any problems in obtaining the necessary approvals, although the Water Court procedures do take a certain amount of time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Unless I hear from you to the contrary, I will prepare the necessary Water Court applications for filing in the month of September, 1989. Very truly yours, LEAVENWaRTH LOCHHEAD, P.C.
