To Whom It Concerns:
This is a let tPr of explanation for our application
for exemption on a parcel of land in the sw % of the SW %
of section 27 Township 5 Ran g e 92 W. The tax notice that
we included as proof of ownership is listed as A.W.R. we
August Jewell, Warren Jewell, and Ruth El d er are that AWR.
and have been since 1987. The piece of l a nd that we are
requestin g exemption on sits in the middle of our property
and is surrounded on all four sides by property that we
own . The west section line of section 27 g oes throu g h the
middle of Warren's hourse. We would like to adust the
property line so that Warren's house and 5 acres as it is
now would become part of the property th a t Warren will own.
includin g the SW % of the SW\ of the SW\ of section 27.
August, Warren and Ruth own 173 shares of water in the
Farmers Irrigation Company . It is our intent that as soon
as this exemption is granted the water will be divided into
thirds each ownin g 58 shares of water. Since we cannot ever
sell any of this property without water it is our intent to
convey sufficient shares · of water to each p arcel upon the
completion of our exemption, Since at this time there is
and adequate water to supply to the property as a whole when
we divide the land by thirds and div i de the water by thirds
there will still by an adequate water supply.
w~ hope this explanation will help to clear up whatever
questions you may have. If it does not please g ive us a
call at 625-1793.

This report gives estimates of various soi l features. The estimates are used in la nd use planni ng that involves
engineering considerations.
Deoth to bedrock is given if bedrock is within a depth of 5 feet. The depth is based on many soil borings and on
observations during soil mapping. The rock is either "Soft" or "Har d". If the rock is "Soft" or fractured , excavatio ns
can be made with trenching machines , backhoes , or small rippers. If the rock is "H ard " or massive. blas ti ng or
special equipment generally is needed for excavation.
Cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface layers within a depth of 5 feet. Such pans cause difficul ty in
excavation. Pans are classified as "Thin" or "Thick ". A "Thin" pan is less th an 3 inches t hick i f contin uousl y
indurated or less than 18 inches thick if discontinuous or frac t ured. Excavations can be made by trenching machines,
backhoes, or srnail rippers. A "Thick " pan is more than 3 inches thick if contirnmusly indurated or more than 18
inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Such a pan is so thick or massive that blasting or special equipment is
needed in excavation.
Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of saturated mineral soils of very low density. Subsidence
results from either desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of organic material , or both, following drainage.
Subsidence takes place gradually, usually over a period of several years. This report shows the expected initial
subsidence, which usually is a result of drainage, and total subsidence, which usually is a result of oxidation . Not
shown in the report is subsidence caused by an imposed surface load or by the withdrawal of ground water throughout
an extensive area as a result of lowering the water table .
Potential frost action is the likelihood of upward or lateral expansion of the soil caused by the formation of
segregated ice lenses (frost heave) and the subsequent collapse of the soil and loss of strength on thawing. Frost
action occurs when moisture moves into the freezing zone of the soil . Temperature, texture, density, permeability,
content of organic matter, and depth to the water table are the most important factors considered in evaluating the
potential for frost action . It is assumed that the soil is not insulated by vegetation or snow and is not artificially
drained. Si lty and highly structured clayey soils that have a high water table in winter are the most susceptible to
frost action. Well drained, very gravelly, or very sandy soils are the least susceptible. Frost heave and low soil
strength during thawing c~use damage mainly to pavements and other rigid structures.
Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced electrochemical or chemical action that dissolves or weakens
uncoated steel or concrete. The rate of corrosion of uncoated steel is related to such factors as soil moisture,
particle-size distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosion of concrete
is based mainly on the sulfate and sodium content , texture, moisture content, and acidity of the soil. Special
site examination and design may be needed if the combination of factors creates a severe corrosion environment. The steel
installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil layers is more susceptible to corrosion than stee l in
installations that are entirely within one kind of soil or within one soil layer. For uncoated steel, the risk of
corrosion , expressed as "Low ", "Moderate", or "High", is based on soil drainage class , total acidity, electrical
resistivity near field capacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturation extract .
For concrete, the risk of corrosion is also expressed as "Low", "Moderate ", or "High". It 1s based on soil texture ,
acidity , and amount of sulfates in the saturation extract.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons ,
and sani~ary landfills. The limitations are considered "Slight" if soil prope rties and site features generally are
favorable for th e indicated use and limitations are minor and easily overcome; "Mod erate " if soil properties or site
features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design. or maintenance is needed t o overcome or
minimize the limitations; and "Severe" if soil properties or site . features are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcom e
that special design , significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased maintenance are requ ired.
This report also shows the suitability of the soils for use as daily cover for landfills. A rating of "Good " indicates
that soil properties and site features are favorable for the use and good performance and lo w maintenance can be
expected; "fair" indicates that soil properties and site features are moderately favorable for the use and one or
more soil properties or site features make the soil less desirable than the soils rated "Good "; and "Poor " indicates
that one or more soil properties or site fea ture s are unfavorable for the use and overcoming the unfavorable
pro perties requires special design, extra maintenance, or costly alteration.
SEPTIC TANK ABSORPTION FIELDS are areas in which effluent from ~ septic tank is distributed into the soil through
subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part of the soil. between depths of 24 to 72 i nch es is evaluated. The
ratings are base on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Permeability , a high
~ater table, depth to bedroc k or to a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the eff lu ent. Large stones
and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation. Unsatisfactory performance of septic tank absorption fields ,
including excessivel y slow absorption of effluent, surfacing of effluent , and hillside seepage , can affect publ ic health.
Groundwater can be polluted if high .ly permeable sand and gravel or fractured bedrock is less than 4 feet below the
base of the absorption field, if slope is excessive, or if the water table is near the surface. There must be
unsaturated soil material beneath the absorption field to filter the effluent effectively. Many l ocal ordinances
require that this material be of a certain thickness.
SEWAGE LAGOONS are sha l low ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose t he solid and liquid
wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of compacted soil. Lagoons
generally are designed to hold the sewage within a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Nearly impervious soil material for the lagoon ·
floor and sides is required to minimize seepage and contamination of gro und water . This report gives ratings for
the natural soil that makes up the lagoon floor. Th e surface layer and, generally; I or 2 feet of soil material
below the surface layer are. excavated to provide material for the embankments. The ratings are based on soil .
prope rties, site features , and observed performance of the soils. Considered in the ratings are slope , permeability , a
high water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan. flooding, large stones , and content of organic matter.
Excessive seepage due to rapid permeability of the soil or a water table that is high enough to raise the level of sewage
in the lagoon causes a lagoon to function unsatisfactorily. Pollution results if seepage is excessive or if floodwater
overtops the lagoon . A high content of organic matter is detrimental to proper functioning of the lagoon because it
inhibits aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock , and cemented pans can cause construction problems , and large stones can
hinder compaction of the lagoon floor .
SANITARY LANDFILLS are areas where sol id waste is disposed of by burying it in soil. There are two types of landfill ,
trench and area. In a trench landfill, the waste is placed in a trench. It is spread. compacted. and covered daily
with a thin layer of soil excavated at the site. In an area landfill, the waste is placed in successive layers on the
surface of the soil. The waste is spread. compacted, and covered daily with a thin layer of soil form a source away
from the site. Both types of landfill must be able to bear heavy vehicular traffic. Both types involve a risk of
groundwater pollution. Ease of excavation and revegetation need to be considered. The ratings in this report are based

on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Permeability. depth to bedrock or to a
cemented pan . a high water table, slope. and flooding affect both types of landfill . Texture. stones and boulders~
highl y organic layers, soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium affect trench type landfills. Unless otherwise
stated, the ratings apply only to t hat part of the soil within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper trenches. a
limitation rate "Slight" or "Moderate" may not be valid. Onsite investigation is needed.
DAILY COVER FOR LANDFILL is the soil material that is used to cover compacted solid waste in an area type sanitary
landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite, transported to the landfill. and spread over the waste .
Soil texture, wetness. coarse fragments, and slope affect the ease of removing and spreading the material during wet
and dr y periods. Loamy or silty soi ls that are free of lar ge stones or excess gravel are the be st cover for a
landfill. Clayey soils ma y be stic ky or cloddy and are difficult to spread: sand y _soils are subject to soi l
blowing. After soil material has been removed,_ the soil material remaining in t~· borrow area must be thick enough
over bed rock, a cemented pan , or the water table to permit revegetation. The soil material used as final cover for a
landfill should be suitable for plants. The surface layer gensrally has the best wor kability , more organic matter than
the rest of the profile, and the best potential for plants. Material from the surface layer should be stockpiled for use
as the final cover.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallow excavations. dwellings with and without
basements , small commercial buildings. local roads and streets , and lawns and landscaping . The limitations are
"Slight ", "Moderate ", or "Severe". The limitations are considered "Sli ght" if soi l oroperties and site features are
generally favorable for the indicated use and limitaions are minor and easily overcome ; "Moderate" if soil properties
or site features are not fa vorable for the indicated use and special planning, design , or maintenance is needed to
overcome or minimize the limitations: and "Severe" if soil propertie s or site features are so unfa vorable or so
difficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs , and possibl y increased
maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be requ i red where the soil limi tations are severe .
SHALLOW EXCA VATIONS are t re nches or holes dug to a ma ximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basement s, gr ave s , utilit y lines,
open ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based on soil properties , site featu res , and obser ved per formance of
the soils. The ease of digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the dept~ to bedrock , a· cemented pan , or a very
firm dense layer; stone content; soil texture; dnd slope. The time of the year that excavations can be made is
affected by the depth to a seasonal high water table and the s~sceptibility of the soil to flooding. The resistance of
the excavation walls or bands to sloughing or caving is affected by soil te xture and the depth to the water table.
DWELLINGS AND SMALL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS are structures built on shallow foundations on undisturbed soil. The load
limit is the same as that for single-family dwellings no higher than three stories. Ratings are made for small
commercial buildings without basements, for dwellings with basements, and for dwellings without basements. The ratings
are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. A high water table , depth to bedroc k
or to a cemented pan, large stones , slope, and flooding affect the ease of excav ation and construction. Landscaping
and grading that require cuts and fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered .
LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS have an all-weather surface and carry automobi l e and light truck traffic all year. They
have a subgrade of cut er fill soil material, a base of gravel. crushed rock, or stabilized soil material, and a
flexible or rigid surface . Cuts and fills are generally properties, site features , and observed performance of the
soi l s. Depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, a high water table , flooding, large stones, and slope affect the ease of
excavating and grading. Soil strength (as inferred from the engineering classification of the soil), shrink-swell
potential, frost action potential, and depth to a high water table affect the traffic-supporting capaci t y.
LAWNS AND LANDSCAPING require soils on which turf and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established and
maintained . The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Soil
reaction, a high water table , depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, the available water capacity in the upper 40
inches, and the content of salts, sodium, and sulfidic materials aff ect plant growth. Flooding, wetness, slope,
stoniness, and the amount of sand , clay , or organic matter in the sur face layer affect trafficability after vegetation
is established.

This reoort gives information about the soils as a source of roaafill , sand. gravel , and topsoil. The soils are rated
"Good", "Fair ", or "Poor " as a source of roadfill and topsoi l . They are rated as a "Probable " or "Improbable "
source of sand and gravel. The ratings are based on soil properties and site features that affec t the removal of the
soil and its use as construction material. Normal compaction, minor processing. and other standard construct i on
practices are assumed. Each soil is evaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.
Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one place and used in road embankments i n anot her place. In this reoo rt.
the soils are rated as a source of roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6 feet high and less
exacting in design than higher embankments. The rat i ngs are for the soil material below t he surface layer to a
depth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be mi xed during excavating and spreading. Man y soils have
layers of contrasting suitability within their profile. The report entitled EngiDeering Index properties is also available
and it provides detailed information about each ·.soil layer. This information can help determine t he sui t ability of each
layer for use as roadfill. The performance of soil after it is stabilized with lime or cement is not considered in
the ratings.
The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. The thickness of
suitable material is a major consideration. The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, a high water table.
and slope. How well the soil performs in place after it has been compacted and drained is determined by its strength (as
inferred from the engineering classification of the soil) and shrink-swell potential.
Soils rated "Good" contain significant amounts of sand or gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of suitable
material , a low shrink-swell potential , few cobbles and stones, and slopes of lS percent or less. Deoth to the
water table is more than 3 feet
Soils rated "Fair" are more than 35 percent silt-and clay-sized particles and have a plasticity of less than 10.
They have a moderate shrink-swell potential, slopes of 15 to 25 percent, or many stones . Depth to the water table is
to 3 feet.
Soils rated "Poor" have a plasticity index of more than 10. a high shrink-swell potential, many stones , or slopes of
more than 25 percent. They· are wet, and the depth to the water table is less than l foot. These soils may have
layers of suitable material, but the material is less than 3 feet thick.
Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for commercial use with a minimum of processing. Sand and
gravel are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications for each use vary widely. In this report only
the probability of finding material in suitable quantity is evaluated. The suitabilit y of the material for specific
purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect excavation of the material . The orooerties used to evaluate
the soil as a source of sand or gravel are gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the engineering classification
of the soil), the thickness of suitable material, and the content of rock fragments . Kinds of rock , acidity , and
stratification are given in the soil series descriptions. Gradation of grain sizes is given in the Engineering Index
Properties report .
A soil rated as a "Probable" source has a layer of clean sand and grave l or a layer of sand or gravel that contains
up to 12 percent silty fines. This material must be at least 3 feet thick and less than 50 percent, by weight, large
stones. All other soils are rated as an "Improbable" source. Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such as shale and
siltstone , are not considered to be sand and gravel .

Tops oi l is us ed to cover an area so that vegetation can be established and maintained. The upper 40 inches of a soil
is evaluated for use as topsoil. Also evaluated is the recla mation potential of th e borrow area. Plant growth is
affected by tox i c mater ial and by such properties as soil reaction, available water capacity. and fertility . The ease
of excavating, loading, and spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope. a water table , soil texture , and thickness
of suitable material. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected by slop e, a water table, rock fragments, bedroc k.
and toxic material .
Soils rate "Good" have friable loamy material to a depth of at least 40 inches. They are free of stones and cobbles.
have little or no gr avel. and have slooes of less than 8 percent. They are low in cantent of soluble salts, are
naturally fertile or resp ond well to fertili~er , ana are not so wet that excavation is difficult.
Soils rated "Fair" are sandy soils, loamy soils '.that have a relative ly high conte;~ of clay, soils that have only 20
to 40 inch es of suitable material, soils that have an appreciable amount of gravel , ston es , or soluble salts, or
soils that have slopes of 8 to 15 perce nt. The soils are not so wet that excavation is difficult .
Soils rate "Poor" are very sandy or clayey, have less than 20 inches of suitable material. have a large amou nt of
gravel. st ones, or soluble salts, have slo pes of more than 15 percent , or have a seasonal water table at or near the
surface. The surface layer of most soils is generally preferred for topsoil because of it organic matter content.
Organic matter greatly incr eases the absorptio n and retention of moisture and nutrients for plant growth .

The Rifle Fire Protection District has reviewed the
property which you have proposed t o sub-divide into four
separate parcels. It is our understanding that you are
taking a forty acre piece of property and breaking it into
2 ten acre parcels and 1 Twenty acre parcel.
As this subdivision has no changes in use or increased
demands on emergency services, the Fire Protection
District finds it to be adequate.
Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to contact
me if you have any additional questions.

To the Garfield Board of County Commissioners:
We respectfully petition the board to grant exemption
of subdivision of a parcel of land located in the SW~ of
the SW~ of Section 27 Township 5 Range 92 W. This parcel
of land contains 40 acres more or less and we propose to
divide it into 3 tracts of land of 10 acres, 10 acres and
20 acres, more or less. Currently there are 3 residential
homes on this parcel. Two of the homes have 5 acres with
them but the original ranch house has no specific acreage.
These homes have been in place for at least 20 years and
already have water, sewer, utilies and legal access.
We do not propose to build any new homes or change any of
the existing residences. Since these homes have been used
for 20 plus years it is clear that there is adequate water
supply to each and proper sewage and road systems. The
original ranch has been in the family for over 50 years,
and this 40 acre fract sets in the middle of the ranch.
Since we do not share a common business interest any longer
we feel it is time to adjust the property lines and "tidy
up" our estates.
We thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely, :;;,,_ft ~/G4_

Dear Mr . Bean :
1785g
(7-880)
In re sponse to your request for comments regarding the pro p osed Jewel l/Elder
Subdivision Exemption located 4 miles n ortheast of Rifle , I offer the
fo:i . .L ow iug statemEnts fo:r· your March 18 , 1996 µublic meeting . The north
boundary of the 683 acre tract is adjacent to public lands administered by
this of fice. Current uses on the ELM include wildlife habitat, livestock
grazi ng , and dispersed recreation such as hunting.
1. Ownership of land adjacent to ELM-administered public land d o es not grant
the adjacen t landowner(s) any special rights or privileges for the use of the
public lands.
2. After review of our records, it should be noted that all minerals are
r eserved to the United States within Section 21 (E V.SE%SE%), Section 22
(SW%SW%), and Sect ion 27 (W1/:>NW%, N1hSW1A), T5S, R92W, Sixth PM. The landowner
and the County should be aware that in the future, mining claims could be
l ocated and mineral l eases or permits could be issued. Als o , use of building
stone , gravel, or any other mineral material from the property would require a
permit from the ELM . According t o our records, no minerals within this
secti o n are currently under lease .
3 . Alth o ugh the nearby public land has current permits for livest oc k grazing,
th e proposed lots do not lie adjacent to ELM.
4 . Adjacent pub lic l a nds are open to hunting and other dispersed recreation
act i vities . The proponents should be aware that hunting and other recreation
us es are allowed on ELM-administered l and.
5. Any roads. trails, paths, or utilities (w~ter, eJect ri~. phone nr
otherw ise) crossing ELM would require right-of-way (ROW) permits fr o m this
office . An environmental assessment report would be completed as a part of the
ROW p e rmitting process .
Thank you for the opportunity to c o mment . If there are any questions, please
contact Jim Byers of this office at 945-2341 .
Sincerely,
Michael S . Mottice
Area Manager
