LOUGH SUBDIVISION, Resubdivision of Parcel A, Colohan Exemption
Preliminary Plan
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RESUBDIVISION
The Colohan Exemption was approved in 1990 on thirteen acres of land that
was originally acquired from the Rose Property. The Applicant, Brent and
Roxanne Lough purchased the 6.5 acre Parcel A in march of this year and
also purchased two residential water taps from the Teller Spring Subdivision
community water system and began construction of a residence which they
will occupy upon its completion. They desire to divide Parcel A into two lots,
one 2 acre lot and one 4.5 acre lot.
The proposed lots will use the existing drive as a common point of access
from County Road 109. Each lot will have one tap from the Teller Springs
water system, with each tap allowing a single family residence, accessory
dwelling, landscape irrigation and livestock water. Proposed Lot A-2 is not
large enough to qualify for an accessory dwelling but an accessory dwelling
unit allowance is requested for Lot A-1. Neither lot will be allowed livestock.
Sewage treatment will be by ISDS. A permit for a septic tank and leach field
has been issued by Garfield County for the residence that is under
construction. The attached Soils report and Engineer's Statement validate
the ability of the site to accomodate these uses.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE ROARING FORK VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
The following describes how the proposed Lough Subdivision is in general
conformance with the new Garfield County Comprehensive Plan for the
Roaring Fork Valley as identified by Section III Goals, Objectives, Policies
and Programs of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan dated
September, 1994.
Section III -1.0 Public Participation
Goal: An integral part of County land use planning is the opportunity for
citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.
1
The project proposal will be reviewed at two publicly noticed hearings a
which the public will be given the opportunity to comment on the proposed
project.
Section III -2.0 Housing
Goal: To ensure the availability of housing including affordable housing in
the County where in short supply, subject to regulations, which ensure
safety, appropriate site designs, compatibility, and protection of the natural
environment.
The proposed division creates a lot that is compatible with the surrounding
residential uses.
Section III -3.0 Transportation
Goal: Ensure that the County transportation system is safe, functional,
appropriately designed to handle existing and future traffic levels, and
includes options for the use of modes other than the single -occupant
automobile.
Traffic from the additional residence will use County Road 109 which is a
relatively newly asphalt paved road. The property is located in Traffic Study
Area 9 and each residence will be required to pay an Off-site Road Impact
Fee.
Section III -4.0 Commercial and Industrial Uses
Goal: Commercial: Garfield County will encourage the retention and
expansion of convenient, viable, and compatible commercial development
capable of providing a wide variety of goods and services to serve the
citizens of the County.
No commercial uses are proposed.
Section III -5.0 Recreation and Open Space
GOAL: Garfield County should provide adequate recreational opportunities
for County residents, ensure access to public lands consistent with
2
BLM/USFS policies, and preserve existing recreational opportunities and
important visual corridors.
The spacious lots and access to natural areas will meet many of the
recreational needs of the development residents. The property does not
control access to any public lands.
Section III -6.0 Agriculture
Goal: To ensure that existing agricultural uses are allowed to continue in
operation, and compatibility issues are addressed during project reviews.
None of the property has served any past agricultural function.
Section III -7.0 Water and Sewer Services
Goal: To ensure the provision of legal, adequate, dependable, cost effective,
and environmentally sound sewer and water services for new development.
Sewage treatment will be by ISDS in soils well suited for this type of system
based on percolation test on the site. Water will be provided by the Teller
Springs community water system.
Section III -8.0 Natural Environment
Goal: Garfield County will encourage a land use pattern that recognizes the
environmental sensitivity of the land, does not overburden the physical
capacity of the land, is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare
of Garfield County.
The Comprehensive plan designates this area for High Density Residential
with one dwelling per two acres or Tess.
Section III -9.0 Natural Resource Extraction
Goal: Garfield County recognizes that under Colorado law, the surface and
mineral interests have certain legal rights and privileges, including the right
to extract and develop these interests. Furthermore, private property
owners also have certain legal rights and privileges, including the right to
3
have the mineral estate developed in a reasonable manner and to have
adverse land use impacts mitigated.
There are no natural resources on the property that would be desirable for
extraction.
Section III -10.0 Urban Areas of Influence
Goal: Ensure that development and overall land use policies occurring in the
County that will affect a municipality are compatible with the existing zoning
and future land use objectives of the appropriate municipality.
The property is not located in the urban area of influence of any municipality.
Section IV METHODOLOGY
Purpose and Applicability of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map: This
section identifies the property as bing within the High Density Residential
Land Use District. This district proposes one dwelling unit per two or fewer
acres. The density of the proposed division is 1 single family lot per 3.25
acres. If it is assumed that an accessory dwelling were added to Lots A-1,
the total dwelling unit count would be 3 and the density would be 1 dwelling
per 2.17 acres.
We believe this review finds the the proposed subdivision to be in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.

August 25, 1998
Reference: Engineering topics for the Lough Subdivision, Garfield County
Water Supply
The Lough Subdivision has purchased two water taps from the Teller Springs Water
District. Each tap has a quantity of water allocated to it by the District to provide
adequate service for one main residence and one guest house. The Teller Springs Water
District system was designed for 26 single family residences and 26 guest houses within
the District's boundary and an additional 5 single family residences and 5 guest houses
outside the District's boundary.
The water is supplied by a well near the Roaring Fork River and pumped through 6"
diameter main lines to a 20,000 gallon tank on the hill side to the west of County Road
109. The tank gravity feeds water to the residences. The Loughs have tapped into the 6"
main pipe with a 1.5" diameter service line to feed a 1,500 gallon surge tank which will
pump water to both lots within the Lough Subdivision. The tank and pump were installed
to provide higher water pressure to the Lough Subdivision and a temporary supply when
the Teller District is shut down for maintenance. The tank system was designed by
Dodson Engineered Products.
A recent test, conducted by the Teller Springs Water Board in July of 1998, showed that
the average consumption rate for the District is 72,000 gallons per week. The well is
producing 25 gallons per minute, which equals 1500 gph, which equals 36,000 gpd, which
equals 252,000 gpw.
The Lough's Subdivision is located at an elevation and distance from the 20,000 gallon
water tank that adequate fire flow can not be obtained from the Teller Springs Water
District. The rural fire district chief said that this is not a problem since his pumper trucks
responding to a fire in this neighborhood plan to use water out of the Roaring Fork River.
There is a greater danger from grass fires in the area than a house -made fire which is built
to today's UBC standards. Recommend the Loughs landscape their residence to prevent
damage due to grass fires.
Stormwater Drainage and Debris Flow
There are no natural problems in this area unless someone builds directly in a gully, and
even then there wouldn't be much water due to the extremely small drainage basin. See
attached topography map. The existing terrain is steep above the Lough property, but
stable due to the rock composition and trees. The main source of storm debris could
possibly be man made excavations left laying loose. Recommend keeping the excavated
soils tamped and vegetated as soon as practical to reduce mud flows.
ISDS
The soils within the Lough Subdivision are ideal for septic systems. The percolation rates
of 5, 6, and 7 minutes per inch obtained by HP Geotechnical demonstrate the soils' ability
to handle leach field water. See attached handouts for recommended septic maintenance.
Conclusion
The Lough Subdivision will provide two excellent building sites when constructed within
the guidelines of the Garfield County Building Department.

Daily Tips For Long Lasting, Trouble•Free Service
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE SEPTIC TANK
BE PUMPED?
Every 1 - 3 years, when the sludge in the
tank is approaching the 1/3 full mark. If
more than this amount of sludge builds up,
there is a chance that particles can get
into the disposal field and clog the system.
To ensure regular service, keep a mainten-
ance record of your system.
-3110
HOW DOES THE USE OF HOUSEHOLD
WATER AFFECT THE SYSTEM?
Conserve water. The more water that is
used, the more that must be disposed of
by the septic system drain. fields. Buy
water -conserving appliances such as
dishwashers and washing machines. Install
water -conserving showerheads and faucets.
Avoid unnecessary flushing of the stool.
Wash only full loads of clothes, and fix
leaky faucets.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE COMMON
HOUSEHOLD HABITS THAT CREATE
PROBLEMS IN A SEPTIC TANK?
When homeowners use their septic tank
as a disposal. Grease is the worst
thing in a system. Coffee grounds, boxes,
cooking fats., filter cigarette butts,
disposable diapers, paper toweling, tissues,
etc. should not be put into the system.
CAN A GARBAGE DISPOSAL BE USED?
Garbage disposals are not recommended,
because the food particles fill up the
septic tank faster,and food particles
tend to clog the system. If a garbage
disposal.is used, plan to pump the septic
system twice as often or increase the tank
size by 1/3.
WHAT EFFECT DOES RAIN WATERT
RUN-OFF HAVE ON THE SYSTEM?
It overloads the system. Since all water
must be disposed of, do not have storm or
clear water from the basement or roof go
into the sewage treatment system.
WHAT ABOUT THE USE OF HOUSEHOLD
CLEANING PRODUCTS?
Moderate use of bleaches, cleansers
and other household products will not
harm your septic tank.
IS THERE ANY SPECIAL TYPE OF
TOILET PAPER REQUIRED?
White toilet paper designed for septic
-tank use is best because there are no dyes
that need to be broken down in white
paper.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO PROTECT
Th. SYSTEM?
A properly designed and installed system
will give you years of trouble-free
service if you protect the system with
good daily habits and pump the septic
tank regularly.
WHAT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE TARFN?
Absolutely never go into a septic tank.
Lethal gases build up in the tank that are
overpowering and deadly. Call professional
if you have a problem with your system.
Know. where the manhole cover to the septic
tank is located. It should be earth
.covered or locked at all times.
Septic tanks that are no longer being
used should be filled with earth or
rocks. •

How Can 1 Insure A Trouble•Free System
Building A Home.
When ? r
Before purchasing any property, obtain
a soilboring and percolation test. This
test shows the suitability of the soil
for a conventional private septic system.
If the test reveals that the property is
not suitable for a conventional system,
you will be informed of alternate designs
available. There is a charge for the test
but this investment insures you'll be able
to install a private septic system on your
land.
Have a professional licensed installer or
engineer design and lay out your private
septic system. The proper elevation,
design, construction and maintenance will
ensure that the life of your septic sys-
tem will be prolonged. Capacity deserves
important consideration and at least a
1,000 gallon tank is required for an
average family home, or more depending on
number of bedrooms. No part ofthe system
should be under heavily travelled areas
such as a driveway or patio.
Obtain septic tank and sanitary permits.
Local regulations require a permit before
any building can begin. Often you must
provide a sketch or plot map of the sys-
tem, showing building specifications
meeting requirements such as distances
from the house, well, etc.
Have a qualified, properly trained person
install your system. Inspect the system
regularly. Keep both a record of the com-
plete system and a maintenance record for
easy reference in the event problems occur
with your system.

.,• .L
NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST
Obtain a soil boring and percolation test
before purchasing property.
Check with local authorities to ensure
compliance with local requirements.
Properly locate the septic system.
Have easy access to the septic tank for
pumping.
CHECKLIST WHEN PURCHASING A HOME
WITH A SEPTIC SYSTEM
Ask questions. Age of the system? Size of
the system. Any previous problems? Ever
backed into the house? When was the septi.
tank last pumped?
Make sure the septic tank is accessible f
pumping.
Locate the soil absorption bed and check
the grounds for seeping effluent.
Have a professional check to make sure
the septic system is properly sited.
Determine what needs to be done, if any-
thing, before you buy the house.
IF YOU FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES AND
ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE
. OR BUILD A HOME, YOU SHOULD HAVE A
NEARLY TROUBLE-FREE SYSTEM..
What Are The Benefits Of Precast Concrete Septic Tanks?
• water tight
• proven long lite
• durability - strength increases with age
• locally produced
• cold or hot weather placement
• will not corode, rust or puncture
KNOWING THE COMPONENTS OF A TYPICAL
PRIVATE S EWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
SEPTIC TANK
The septic tank is a separating tank
with 2 functions. The first is to separate
solids from liquids. Septic tanks digest
and break down solid wastes, 40Z being
reduced by anaerobic bacteria.
The second function is having liquids
get to the drain field (trench, bed or
seepage pit) where they are purified.
First, liquids from the house go into the
septic tank, then to the distribution box,
finally reaching the drain field to be
purified.
Most areas require a two-compartment
septic tank. A riser or risers may also be
used to bring the tank opening closer to
ground level.
DRAIN FIELDS/ABSORPTION SYSTEMS
After being separated from the solids,
the liquids which come from the septic
tank effluents are disposed of in the soil
absorption system. The effluent is puri-
fied by the soil before reaching ground
water. You may need a lift pump station
if the effluent cannot flow by gravity to
the bed.
WHAT ARE ALTERNATIVES TO A
TYPICAL SYSTEM?
A pressure discharge system is an
efficient design to dispose of septic tank
effluent. This system is designed with
2 tanks for maximum cleaning of waste
water.
A pump in the final compartment of the
second tank forces liquid through perfor-
ated pipe in controlled doses, so liquid
discharges at the same time. This
spreads the liquid evenly, allowing the
field to dry out between dosings.
This system is economical, non-pollu-
ting, low maintenance, and a big help to
most problem sites as well. A pressure
discharge system is recommended for areas
with high perc rates, high water table or
unlevel ground.
The discharge can be pumped to a
leaching field 25'- above the pump level.
The field is a closed loop with a lateral
tied together. There is no compaction. on
trenches. All surface draining is diverted
off the leaching field.

A. Paragraph 8 is amended as follows:
F: \FILES \ TELLER. 1 RU
June 20, 1995
8. The plan for augmentation is outlined as follows:
A. The Teller Springs Subdivision is a 21 -lot subdivision located on the west
side of the Roaring Fork River, approximately seven miles south of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The subdivision encompasses 175 acres
(approximately) and consists of 21 single-family residential lots.
Domestic in-house water, livestock water, and water for lawn and garden
irrigation will be provided through a community water system that will
serve the development. The water system is designed with the capacity
to serve up to five additional single-family residences, which are in
addition to the 21 -lot subdivision. Such additional residences are or will
be located near to but not within the subdivision.
The amendment is to allow each of the 26 residential lots to include a
guest house for a maximum potential total of 52 residential units that may
be served by the water supply system. The irrigation acreage for each
unit in the previous decree was 6,000 square feet per unit, and the
maximum number of livestock was 104. By this amendment, the
Applicant will reduce the amount of irrigation and/or reduce the number
of livestock to allow for guest units to be added. In order to
accommodate one guest unit, a reduction of 875 square feet of irrigated
lawn must be made or three livestock must be eliminated, or a
combination thereof. The water supply for the development will continue
to be diverted from either or both the Teller Springs Well Nos. 1 and 2,
as decreed in Case No. 90CW267.
B. Diversion requirements for the development and depletions caused by use
of water by the development will be recalculated as each guest unit is
approved.

Subject: Subsoil Study for Foundation Design and Percolation Test, Proposed
Residence, Lot A-2, Lough Subdivision, A subdivision of Parcel A of
Colohan Exemption, County Road 109, Garfield County, Colorado.
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Lough:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. performed a subsoil study and
percolation test for foundation and septic disposal designs at the subject site. The study
was conducted in accordance with our proposal for geotechnical engineering services to
you dated July 15, 1998. The data obtained and our recommendations based on the
proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered are presented in this
report.
Proposed Construction: The proposed development will be a single family residence
located in the building envelope as shown on Fig. 1. There were no building plans at
the time of our study. Foundation loadings for a wood frame residence typical of the
area are assumed to be relatively light. Cut depths for the residence are assumed to be
up to one level, about 10 feet. The septic disposal system is proposed to be located
downhill from the residence.
When building conditions and foundation loadings have been developed, we should be
notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in this report.
Site Conditions: Lot A-2 is located along the west side of County Road 109 about 11/2
miles south of its Junction with Road 154. The ground surface in the building area
slopes strongly down to the east at grades of 10 to 15%. Further to the west is a steep
shale bluff of Eagle Valley Evaporite. Several small dry drainages that originate from
the steep slope cross the area. The lot is vegetated with grass and sage with juniper and
pinion trees in the higher elevation above the lot.
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by
observing two exploratory pits in the general building area and one profile pit in the
septic disposal area at the approximate locations shown on Fig. 1. The logs of the pits
are presented on Fig. 2. The subsoils encountered, below about '/ foot of topsoil,
consist of mixed silt and sand with variable gravel content. Results of consolidation
testing performed on relatively undisturbed samples of the silt soils, presented on
Figs. 3 & 4, indicate relatively low compressibility under existing low moisture
conditions and light loading and a moderate to high collapse potential (settlement under
constant load) when wetted. Results of a gradation analysis performed on samples of
Brent and Roxanne Lough
August 14, 1998
Page 2
the more gravelly soils (minus 3 inch fraction) obtained from the site are presented on
Fig. 5. No free water was observed in the pits and the soils were relatively dry.
Geologic Conditions: The site is underlain by Pennsylvanian Age Eagle Valley
Evaporite bedrock. The Evaporite contains gypsum deposits and dissolution of the
gypsum under certain conditions can cause sinkholes and localized areas of subsidence.
Sinkholes were not observed in the immediate area of the subject lot nor were
indications of voids encountered in the exploration pits. Based on our present
knowledge of the site, it cannot be said for certain that sinkholes will not develop.
However, in our opinion, the risk of ground subsidence throughout the service life of
the project is low.
The site is located on a strongly sloping bench formed by coalescing debris fan deposits
from relatively small ephemeral drainages. Due to their small size, the potential for
debris flow from the steep slope located to the west of Lot A-2 is considered low but the
owner should be made aware of the potential. Surface drainage and grading design
typically used for this type of terrain should be provided to direct potential runoff
around the development.
Foundation Recommendations: The subsoils encountered at the site are highly
compressible when wetted and could result in building settlement and distress.
Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the exploratory pits and the nature of
the proposed construction, spread footings placed on the undisturbed natural soil and
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 800 psf can be used for support of the
proposed residence. The magnitude of post -construction differential settlement will
depend on the depth and extent of wetting but could easily be 3 inches or more.
Precautions should be taken to prevent wetting below the structure. The foundation
should consist of continuous heavily reinforced and interconnected foundation walls
rather than isolated column pads to help limit the effects of some differential settlement.
Footings should be a minimum width of 20 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for
columns. Loose disturbed soils encountered at the foundation bearing level within the
excavation should be removed to expose the undisturbed natural soils. The exposed
subgrade should then be moistened and compacted. Two to 3 feet of on-site soil
compacted to at least 95 % standard Proctor density could be provided below the footing
bearing level to further help reduce the settlement risk. Exterior footings should be
provided with adequate cover above their bearing elevations for frost protection.
Placement of footings at least 36 inches below the exterior grade is typically used in this
area. Continuous foundation walls should be heavily reinforced top and bottom to span
local anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 15 feet.
Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should be designed to resist a lateral
earth pressure based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 50 pcf for the on-site

soil as backfill.
Floor Slabs: The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support
lightly loaded slab -on -grade construction. The soils could settle when wetted, similar
to that described above. To reduce the effects of some differential settlement, floor slabs
should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which
allow unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to
reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab
reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the
intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free -draining gravel should be placed
beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of
minus 2 inch aggregate with less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and less than 2%
passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95 % of
maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill
can consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
Underdrain System: Although free water was not encountered during our exploration,
it has been our experience in the area that local perched groundwater can develop
during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring
runoff can create a perched condition. We recommend below -grade construction, such
as retaining walls and basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic
pressure buildup by an underdrain system. Shallow crawlspace area should not need an
underdrain provided there is proper backfill placement and surface slope away from the
building.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free -draining granular material. The drain
should be placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent
finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free -draining
granular material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the
No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of
2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should be at least 11 feet deep. An impervious
membrane such as 20 or 30 PVC should be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough
shape and attached to the foundation wall with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing
soils.
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
H -P GEOTECH
Brent and Roxanne Lough
August 14, 1998
Page 4
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted to at least 95 % of the maximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90 % of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas. Free -draining wall backfill should be
capped with about 2 feet of the on-site, finer graded soils to reduce
surface water infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We
recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in pavement
and walkway areas. A swale and berm should be provided uphill to
direct storm water and site runoff around the residence.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of
all backfill.
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at
least 10 feet from the building. Preferably, xeriscape should be used to
limit potential wetting due to irrigation.
Percolation Testing: Percolation tests were conducted on August 7, 1998 to evaluate
the feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system at the site. One profile pit and
three percolation holes were dug at the locations shown on Fig. 1. The test holes
(nominal 12 inch diameter by 12 inch deep) were hand dug at the bottom of shallow
backhoe pits and were soaked with water one day prior to testing. The soils exposed in
the percolation holes are similar to those exposed in the Profile Pit shown on Fig. 2 and
consist of gravelly silt and sand. The percolation test results are presented in Table II.
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered and the percolation test results, the
tested area should be suitable for a conventional infiltration septic disposal system.
Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no
warranty either expressed or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted
in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the
locations indicated on Fig. 1, the assumed type of construction and our experience in
the area. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface
conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations in the subsurface conditions
may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be
notified at once so re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes.
We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As
the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation
bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer.

SCS SOIL TYPE DESCRIPTIONS & TABLES
108—Uracca, moist-Mergel complex, 6 to 12
percent slopes, extremely stony. This map unit is on
alluvial fans and valley side slopes. Elevation is 6,800
to 8,400 feet. The average annual precipitation is 16 to
19 inches, the average annual air temperature is 40 to
43 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is 75 to
95 days.
This unit is about 50 percent Uracca soil and 40
percent Mergel soil.
Included in this unit are small areas of soils that are
similar to the Uracca and Mergel soils but have a
thicker surface layer and a lower content of coarse
fragments. Included areas make up about 10 percent of
the total acreage.
The Uracca soil is deep and well drained. It formed in
alluvium derived dominantly from mixed igneous and
metamorphic material. About 3 to 15 percent of the
surface is covered with boulders, stones, cobbles, and
gravel. Typically, the surface layer is brown cobbly
sandy loam about 3 inches thick. The upper 5 inches of
the subsoil is cobbly sandy loam. The lower 7 inches is
very cobbly sandy clay loam. The substratum to a depth
of 60 inches or more is extremely cobbly loamy sand.
The content of coarse fragments ranges from 35 to 85
percent, by volume, in a major part of the surface layer
and subsoil.
Permeability is moderately rapid in the Uracca soil.
Available water capacity is low. The effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is medium, and the
hazard of water erosion is slight.
The Mergel soil is deep and well drained. It formed in
glacial outwash. About 3 to 30 percent of the surface is
covered with boulders, stones, cobbles, and gravel.
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown cobbly
loam about 8 inches thick. The upper 12 inches of the
substratum is very cobbly sandy loam. The lower part to
a depth of 60 inches is extremely stony sandy loam.
The content of coarse fragments ranges from 35 to 80
percent, by volume.
Permeability is moderate in the Mergel soil. Available
water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water
erosion is slight.
This unit is used mainly for pasture or as rangeland.
It also is used for homesite development or limited rock
quarrying.
The potential plant community on this unit is mainly
Letterman neediegrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, Indian
ricegrass, Saskatoon serviceberry, and antelope
bitterbrush. Other plants that characterize this site are
western wheatgrass, mountain big sagebrush, and
scattered Gambel oak. The average annual production
of air-dry vegetation is about 1,200 pounds per acre. If
the range condition deteriorates, mountain big
sagebrush, Kentucky bluegrass, cheatgrass, and annual
weeds increase in abundance.
The suitability of this unit for range seeding is poor.
The main limitations are the stones and boulders on the
surface. Suitable management practices include proper
range use, deferred grazing, and rotation grazing. Aerial
spraying is suitable for brush management. Because of
the hazard of seepage, this unit is limited as a site for
livestock watering ponds and other water
impoundments.
If this unit is used for hay and pasture, the main
limitation is the low available water capacity. Frequent
irrigation is needed. Applications of nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizer improve the growth of forage
plants. Proper stocking rates, pasture rotation, and
restricted grazing during wet periods help to keep the
pasture in good condition and protect the soil from
erosion. Irrigation water can be applied by corrugation,
sprinkler, and flooding methods. Pipe, ditch lining, or
drop structures in irrigation ditches facilitate irrigation
and help to control erosion.
If this unit is used for homesite development, the
main limitations are the large stones and boulders on
and below the surface. Population growth has resulted
in increased construction of homes in areas of this unit.
Preserving the existing plant cover during construction
helps to control erosion. The pebbles and cobbles in
disturbed areas should be removed if the site is
landscaped, particularly in areas used for lawns. The
effluent from septic tank absorption fields can surface it
downslope areas and thus create a health hazard. If the
density of housing is moderate or high, community
sewage systems are needed to prevent the
contamination of water supplies resulting from seepage
from onsite sewage disposal systems. Areas adjacent tc
hillsides are occasionally affected by runoff, which may
be accompanied by the movement of rock debris.
This map unit is in capability subclass Vle, irrigated
and nonirrigated. It is in the Stony Loam range site.

FOR DECREE ENTERED IN CASE NO. 90CW267
5. Complete Statement of Amendment to Decree entered in Case No. 90CW267,
Water Division No. 5, on February 11, 1993.
A. Paragraph 8 is amended as follows:
8. The plan for augmentation is outlined as follows:
A. The Teller Springs Subdivision is a 21 -lot subdivision located on the west
side of the Roaring Fork River, approximately seven miles south of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The subdivision encompasses 175 acres
(approximately) and consists of 21 single-family residential lots.
Domestic in-house water, livestock water, and water for lawn and garden
irrigation will be provided through a community water system that will
serve the development. The water system is designed with the capacity
to serve up to five additional single-family residences, which are in
addition to the 21 -lot subdivision. Such additional residences are or will
be located near to but not within the subdivision.
The amendment is to allow each of the 26 residential lots to include a
guest house for a maximum potential total of 52 residential units that may
be served by the water supply system. The irrigation acreage for each
unit in the previous decree was 6,000 square feet per unit, and the
maximum number of livestock was 104. By this amendment, the
Applicant will reduce the amount of irrigation and/or reduce the number
of livestock to allow for guest units to be added. In order to
accommodate one guest unit, a reduction of 875 square feet of irrigated
lawn must be made or three livestock must be eliminated, or a
combination thereof. The water supply for the development will continue
to be diverted from either or both the Teller Springs Well Nos. 1 and 2,
as decreed in Case No. 90CW267.
B. Diversion requirements for the development and depletions caused by use
of water by the development will be recalculated as each guest unit is
approved.

SECOND CLAIM
APPLICATION FOR AMENDED PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION
FOR DECREE ENTERED IN CASE NO. 91CW61
6. Complete Statement of Amendment to Decree entered in Case No. 91CW61,
Water Division No. 5.
A. The Applicant seeks to add the Teller Springs Extension Ditch No. 1 to the
Kaiser and Seivers Ditch, and the Teller Springs Extension Ditch No. 2 to the
Kaiser and Seivers Ditch, as those structures and water rights are more fully
described in Case No. 93CW274, Water Division No. 5, as water rights to be
augmented by the sources as set forth in Case No. 91CW61. These two ditches
as applied for in Case No. 93CW274 are applied for to irrigate 80 acres as is the
Teller Springs Ditch No. 1, as adjudicated in Case Nos. 90CW266 and 91CW61.
B. These three ditches and water rights will be used to irrigate the same acreage
within the subdivision, and the Applicant intends that all three ditches and their
water rights be augmented by the water rights and in the amounts as set forth in
Case No. 91CW61. No change in the consumptive use or total number of
irrigated acres will occur.
7. No other changes in the Decrees entered in Case Nos. 91CW61 and 90CW267
are sought.

108—Uracca, moist-Mergel complex, 6 to 12
percent slopes, extremely stony. This map unit is on
alluvial fans and valley side slopes. Elevation is 6,800
to 8,400 feet. The average annual precipitation is 16 to
19 inches, the average annual air temperature is 40 to
43 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is 75 to
95 days.
This unit is about 50 percent Uracca soil and 40
percent Mergel soil.
Included in this unit are small areas of soils that are
similar to the Uracca and Mergel soils but have a
thicker surface layer and a lower content of coarse
fragments. Included areas make up about 10 percent of
the total acreage.
The Uracca soil is deep and well drained. it formed in
alluvium derived dominantly from mixed igneous and
metamorphic material. About 3 to 15 percent of the
surface is covered with boulders, stones, cobbles, and
gravel. Typically, the surface layer is brown cobbly
sandy loam about 3 inches thick. The upper 5 inches of
the subsoil is cobbly sandy loam. The lower 7 inches is
very cobbly sandy clay loam. The substratum to a depth
of 60 inches or more is extremely cobbly loamy sand.
The content of coarse fragments ranges from 35 to 85
percent, by volume, in a major part of the surface layer
and subsoil.
Permeability is moderately rapid in the Uracca soil.
Available water capacity is low. The effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is medium, and the
hazard of water erosion is slight.
The Mergel soil is deep and well drained. It formed in
glacial outwash. About 3 to 30 percent of the surface is
covered with boulders, stones, cobbles, and gravel.
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown cobbly
loam about 8 inches thick. The upper 12 inches of the
substratum is very cobbly sandy loam. The lower part to
a depth of 60 inches is extremely stony sandy loam.
The content of coarse fragments ranges from 35 to 80
percent, by volume.
Permeability is moderate in the Mergel soil. Available
water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water
erosion is slight.
This unit is used mainly for pasture or as rangeland.
It also is used for homesite development or limited rock
quarrying.
The potential plant community on this unit is mainly
Letterman needlegrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, Indian
ricegrass, Saskatoon serviceberry, and antelope
bitterbrush. Other plants that characterize this site are
western wheatgrass, mountain big sagebrush, and
scattered Gambel oak. The average annual production
of air-dry vegetation is about 1,200 pounds per acre. If
the range condition deteriorates, mountain big
sagebrush, Kentucky bluegrass, cheatgrass, and annual
weeds increase in abundance.
The suitability of this unit for range seeding is poor.
The main limitations are the stones and boulders on the
surface. Suitable management practices include proper
range use, deferred grazing, and rotation grazing. Aerial
spraying is suitable for brush management. Because of
the hazard of seepage, this unit is limited as a site for
livestock watering ponds and other water
impoundments.
If this unit is used for hay and pasture, the main
limitation is the low available water capacity. Frequent
irrigation is needed. Applications of nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizer improve the growth of forage
plants. Proper stocking rates, pasture rotation, and
restricted grazing during wet periods help to keep the
pasture in good condition and protect the soil from
erosion. Irrigation water can be applied by corrugation,
sprinkler, and flooding methods. Pipe, ditch lining, or
drop structures in irrigation ditches facilitate irrigation
and help to control erosion.
If this unit is used for homesite development, the
main limitations are the large stones and boulders on
and below the surface. Population growth has resulted
in increased construction of homes in areas of this unit.
Preserving the existing plant cover during construction
helps to control erosion. The pebbles and cobbles in
disturbed areas should be removed if the site is
landscaped, particularly in areas used for lawns. The
effluent from septic tank absorption fields can surface in
downslope areas and thus create a health hazard. If the
density of housing is moderate or high, community
sewage systems are needed to prevent the
contamination of water supplies resulting from seepage
from onsite sewage disposal systems. Areas adjacent to
hillsides are occasionally affected by runoff, which may
be accompanied by the movement of rock debris.
This map unit is in capability subclass Vie, irrigated
and nonirrigated. It is in the Stony Loam range site.
