This letter is intended to meet the submittal requirenrents of Section 4.O8.05.(7).(e) of the Garfield County Land Use Code. This section of the code reqtrires the statenrent by a licerrsecl engineer provicling evirJence ol the following: (i) Tlre 1>roposccl water sorlrce ariequate to serve the pUD (ii) Tlre proposed methocj of sewage treatment(iii) The general nranner i. whiclr tlre drainage will be handled(iv) The general manner in wltich provision will be made for any potential natural hazards in the area, suclr as avalanche areas, landslicie areas, floodplain areas and unstable soils. The water for dolr.restic use will be provided to each site by a community water system or water main extended from tlte existing main in County Road 245. The existing main is owned and maintained by the Town of New Castle. Prior correspondence from the Town of New Castle indicates the Town's intent to provide water service to llris subdivision. Wastewater treatnlerlt for the sultciivision will be treated inciividually for eaclr lot with on-site Individual Sewage Disposal Systetns. Baseci upon prelinrinary perc tests results, we anticipate that no unusual conditions exist that would prolribit the use of on-site sewage disposal systems. We anticipate that with the preliminary percolation rates being at 3O minutes per inch, tlre on-site systems would require standard construction outlined in tlre County lndiviclual Sewage Disposal System Requirements. An area of 750 to lOOO square feet is anticipatecl also. There is no evidence of high ground water nor shallow depths to bedrock tl'rat we anticipate woukl require errgineered lndividual Sewage Disposal Systems. Obviously, the County requires (Jler State recluirements) that a site specific percolation test be perfornred at ttre location of the proposecl fielcl installation when an individual unit or lot is developed. Electric service for this area is currently provided by Public Service Company of Colorado. There is an existing overhead line located along County Road 245 running parallel to the south property line of theproiect. Therefore, we anticipate tyir-rg into this line and extending service irrto the subdivision from County Road 245. Public Service Con.rparry of Colorado is also tlre nattrral gas supplier for tlris area. Again, they have an existing transmission line located ir-r County Road 245 along the south property line of the project. Again, we arrticillate extending service fronr County Roacl 245 into tlre project. U.S. West provides teleplrone service to residents in this area. Again, U.S. West has a main line located in Cotrnty Road 245. We anticipate extencling service from this main line into the project. -7, Marclr 27, 1994 Mr. Kent Jolly Page 2 Finally, TCI Cablevision provides cable television service to residents in this area. They have an overhead distribrrtion line located along County Road 245 and we anticipate extending service from Corrnty Road 245 into tlre project. The proiect is irlterrded to be servecl lly a single 2O foot wide access, accessing from County Road 245into llre proiect entling at a cul-rje-sac. Tlre cul de-sac will tte of sufficient diameter to allow accessibility for enrergency vehicles. Tlris 2o foot wide access will be the only item tlrat will provide an interrtrption to tlre existing drainage patterns. Generally, the patterns provide for slreet flow froma north to sotttlt direction across tlre site. The upper bench of the site consists of an intermixed disbtrrsenrent of dense Jurri;ter ar-rcl Pinon with sage brr-rsh and native grasses. Along the south edge of the property and the west edge of the property, the slopes become steeper and will most likely be utilized as open space. Minor drainage paths are seen to traverse the site but do not constitute any rnaior drainage flows. Drainage is intended to be controlled along the road with road side borrow ditches and witlr ctrlverting as necessary. To the furthest extent possible, the natural drainage patterns will be accontmodated. Along tlre upper (or off site) portion of the property, an irrigation ditch whichserves Castle Valley Ranclr exists to inlercept drainage and direct it easterly of the property. Accordingly, along the southern portion of tlre upper benctr, another cJrainage ditch which also serves Castle Valley Ranch traverses the site frorn west to east. Other than providing culverting to cross thisirrigation ditclr. no special features of constructior-r will be required. At the intersection of the accessroad to tlre proiect and County Roacl 245, it is intendecl to direct drainage from the borrow ditches tothe adiacent cttlverts already utilizerJ by this property for transmission of runoff past County Road 245.At that point, all drainage will be re-established to its natlrral condition. Finally, no mapped floodplains exist on site nor is the site tributary to avalanche or landslide areas. Weunderstand that you have rendered the services of a Geologist to further expand discussions on these natural lrazards.
