RE: KW Glenwood Springs LLC - Lot 1 Water Quality Results
for Proposed Land Use Application
Dear Nicole:
March 25, 2015
This letter report presents the technical analysis of the water quality for the new well at the
proposed KW Glenwood Springs, LLC facility. This letter supplements the March 10, 2015
Water Demand and Supply Report prepared by Resource Engineering, Inc. (RESOURCE).
WATER QUALITY
A water sample for the new well was obtained by RESOURCE on March 3, 2015. The sample
was shipped by overnight delivery under proper chain of custody to National Testing
Laboratories (results attached). In accordance with the criteria established by the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code, the well was tested for inorganic compounds
including metals, coliform, alkalinity, corrosivity, hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, and
radionuclides.
The results indicate that the well water meets the basic EPA primary and secondary drinking
water standards, except for gross alpha. Alpha particles come from erosion of natural deposits
of certain minerals including uranium, radon, and radium that are radioactive and may emit a
form of radiation. The water quality of a nearby well was also tested on March 3, 2015 and did
not have an elevated level of gross alpha. RESOURCE recommends retesting the well water
for uranium, radon, radium and grass alpha to determine the source of alpha activity and if the
elevated level of gross alpha was an outliner. Based on the new test results, recommendations
for water treatment such as aeration, water softening, and reverse osmosis will be presented, if
necessary.
The water quality results show several parameters that result in taste and aesthetic issues
related to hardness, turbidity, and iron bacteria. The well water hardness is high at 320 mg/I,
which is considered very hard. The hard water can cause scale to build up on water fixtures and
lessen effectiveness of soaps. RESOURCE recommends use of a water softener to lower the
hardness of the water. The water softening will also treat alpha particles, if present. The
turbidity level was slightly elevated with a value of 1.3 NTU. The slightly elevated level of
turbidity is not a concern, and is probably related to the well being drilled the day before the
water sample was collected. The turbidity level will decline as the well is put into production.
Iron bacteria with a population of 9,000 cfu/mL was also present in the well water. Iron bacteria
is not harmful to humans but can be a nuisance. It can cause water to have a foul taste/odor
and leave intermittent brown staining of plumbing fixtures. The Iron bacteria found in the well
can be treated with disinfection by shock treating the well in accordance with the CDPHE
Guidelines for Shock Chlorination of Wells and Water Systems (copy attached).

CONCLUSION
The laboratory results for the water quality analysis indicate that the water meets all primary
and secondary drinking water standards, except gross alpha. RESOURCE recommends
retesting the well water to determine the sources of alpha activity and if the elevated level of
gross alpha was an outlier. If necessary, appropriate treatment technology will be
recommended based on the new test. The parameters related to taste and aesthetics,
hardness and iron bacteria, can be addressed with standard water softening equipment to treat
the hard water and the disinfection of the well to treat the iron bacteria. The water quality is
suitable for domestic uses provided that appropriate treatment is provided for removal of gross
alpha emitting particles, if necessary.

This informational water quality report compares the actual test result to national standards as defined in the EPA's Primary and
Secondary Drinking Water Regulations.
Primary Standards: Are expressed as the maximum contaminant level (MCL) which is the highest level of contaminant that
is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are enforceable standards.
Secondary standards: Are non -enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin
or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor,or color) in drinking water. Individual
states may choose to adopt them as enforceable standards.
Action levels: Are defined in treatment techniques which are required processes intended to reduce the level of a
contaminant in drinking water.

RE: Eastbank, LLC — Lot 2 Existing Well Water Quality Results
Dear Nicole:
March 25, 2015
This letter report presents the technical analysis of the water quality for the existing well located on
the proposed Lot 2 of the Eastbank, LLC Minor Subdivision located within Parcel 2A of Eastbank
Parcel 2 Lot Split in Garfield County, Colorado. This letter supplements the March 10, 2015 Well
Pumping Test Results Report prepared by Resource Engineering, Inc. (RESOURCE).
WATER QUALITY
A water sample for the existing well was obtained by RESOURCE on March 3, 2015. The sample
was shipped by overnight delivery under proper chain of custody to National Testing Laboratories
(results attached). The water in the well was tested for inorganic compounds including metals,
coliform, alkalinity, corrosivity, hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, and radionuclides, in
accordance with the criteria in the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code.
The results indicate that the well water meets the basic EPA primary and secondary drinking water
standards. The well water hardness is high at 290 mg/I, which is considered very hard. The hard
water can cause scale to build up on water fixtures and lessen effectiveness of soaps.
RESOURCE recommends use of a water softener to lower the hardness of the water.
CONCLUSION
The laboratory results for the water quality analysis indicate that the water meets all primary and
secondary drinking water standards. The hard water can be addressed with standard water
softening equipment. The water quality results indicate that the water in the well is suitable for
domestic uses.
Please call if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,

This informational water quality report compares the actual test result to national standards as defined in the EPA's Primary and
Secondary Drinking Water Regulations.
Primary Standards: Are expressed as the maximum contaminant level (MCL) which is the highest level of contaminant that
is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are enforceable standards.
Secondary standards: Are non -enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin
or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor,or color) in drinking water. Individual
states may choose to adopt them as enforceable standards.
Action levels: Are defined in treatment techniques which are required processes intended to reduce the level of a
contaminant in drinking water.
mg/L (ppm): Unless otherwise indicated, results and standards are expressed as an amount in milligrams per liter or
parts per million.
Minimum Detection The lowest level that the laboratory can detect a contaminant.
Level (MDL):
ND: The contaminant was not detected above the minimum detection level.
NA: The contaminant was not analyzed.
The contaminant was not detected in the sample above the minimum detection level.
•
The contaminant was detected above the standard, which is not an EPA enforceable MCL.
L 1
The contaminant was detected at or above the minimum detection level, but not above the referenced standard.
