Re: Panoramic Mesa Subdivision (Lots 1-19), :"eview and Connen'.s of Plan
for Development
Dear :4r. Martin:
The Board of Supervisors have considered a technical analysis prepared for
us by U. S. Soil Conservation Service of the preliminary plat and required
materials for this subdivision proposal. ')ur conclusions are:
1. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, and a portion of 6, are
located in irrigated cropland. :;hen subdivided, the present irrigation
system cannot be sufficiently controlled to meet the needs of the home
owners. Therefore, we suggest that before the subdivision is approved,
an irrigation system be designed and installed orovidin g water control
on each individual lot.
2. Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and a portion of 6, are presently non-
irrigated with a very sparse cover of annual grasses and weeds. Lots
7, 8, 9, 12 and 13 are non -irrigable. These soils are in the rockland
group with very shallow stone filled soils on steep slopes. Vegetative
cover is sparse on this naturally droughty site. Present vegetation
is in very poor condition; primarily cheat grass and other annual weeds
plus cactus and brushy species with vary little native perennial grasses.
These lots would present severe revegetative problems after construction.
Lots 8, 9, 12 and 13 would present the most severe problems as there are
no naturally adequate home nor road sites on these plats by themselves.
These four plats would also be severely limited in septic tank -leach
field locations due to soils and slopes.

Milton Nichols,

Dear Mr. Nichols:
To comment on question No.I of your letter to us on July19, 1972 and received
on July 20, I have gone over the entire length of the drainage as shown
comming thru our proposed subdivision and find no evidence that there has
ever been a flood thru said drainage. At point No. 1 on our drawing, I mea-
sured the drainage. The botton of said drainage is 15 feet across, flat and
completely covered with grass no erosion channel at all. At point No. 2
being the end of any visible drainage the bottom of said draihage:is 75 feet
across and completely covered with grass, weeds and alfalfa, no evidence
of flooding. The ody water that comes down the gulch is irrigation waste
water which is diverted into a ditch at a point No. 3 and used for irriga-
tion on the Northern part of Tract A. After construction of said subdivi-
sion this ditch.:wi11 no longer be in use. The only other constructed water
way which is now in place, and will remain the same is the ditch shown
on our preliminary map. There will be drainage ditches along the construc-
tion of the main road which will meet Garfield County road specifications.
To answer your question No. 2 on erosion and sediment control, I have shown
on the map areas "A" and "B" and have made a note to cover the two areas.
The only construction will be for the road which I have mentioned before.
Water lines, which will be in said road and to the storage tank as shown
on our preliminary map, and individual home construction which will be
rehabilitated with landscaping after construction.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Wamsley

Dear Sir:
This letter is regarding the purposed subdivision to be
known as "Panoramic Mesa", located one mile north of Silt,
Colorado.
This area is one of a tight silty clay soil. A set of
representative soil percolation tests should be made since
individual sewage disposal systems are specified. The
sewage systems for lots 10, 11 and 14 must be kept a
minimum of one hundred feet from the water wells.
Where individual sewage systems are to be installed,
a permit from Garfield County is required and they
must conform to the existing code specifications it/force
at that time.
If this office can be of further assistance please advise.

Res Review and Recommendations Concerning Panoramic Xesa Subdivisions
Vie cannot complete our review of your subdivision preliminary plot
proposal 'oecause the aseembly of materials given us lacks the following
information:
1. To comment on flooding problems, we need to know the
drainage area above the subdivision and the "Q" of the
drainage channel, constructed water ways or whatever
surface water disposal measures you have in mind.
2. To co:icent on the erosion and sediment control position
of your development plan, we must have an inventory of
existing vegetation and your pars for rehabilitation
of the area after construction,
3. ;Jape and interpretive tables concerning soil suitability
and limitations.
Accordin€, to $13//35, we shouldhave been requested to provide a vegetative
inventory, a soil survey with interpretive data when the sketch elan was
submit- ed 5/15/72 to the Garfield County Planning Commission. This would
;lave given the U.S. Soi,. Conservation Service time enough to prepare this
technical eats for ese in developine the preliminary plot.
As it is, the SOS is developing the material for us andwe expect to
nave it within 10 days. If you will provide answers to questiona raised
in i ems 1 and 2 above, we will complete our review and recommendations
of this .preliminary plot at our regular 7/31/72 Board of
Supervisorservisors meeting. nave �d �s to .make the xev3^w and recommendations for
the County Planning
Commission, this should be due by e/)4/72 and we can meet this deadline.

RE: Bacteriological Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Non Acute
Community Water System,
Dear Water Purveyor:
Garfield County
Per Article 3.1.2(1)(a) of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations,
for a water system which collects at least 40 samples per month, no more than
5.0 percent of the samples collected during a month can be total coliform
positive. Per Article 3.1.2(1)(b) of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water
Regulations for a water system which collects fewer than 40 samples per month,
no more than one sample collected during the month can be total coliform
positive.
Water samples collected on the following dates were found to be TOTAL COLIFORM
POSITIVE but not FECAL COLIFORM/E. Coli POSITIVE:
JUNE 19, 1991 AND JUNE 25, 1991. You are, therefore, in violation of the
bacteriological maximum contaminant level (MCL).
Failure to meet bacteriological maximum contaminant levels may indicate a
problem with your water system which may lead to possible disease.
Per Article 12.1.1 of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations, you now
must issue public notice in the following manner:
Article 12.1.1 (1) (a)
1) Publish a copy of the notice in a daily newspaper of general circulation
in the area served by the system as soon as possible, but in no case later
than 14 days after the violation. If the area served by the system is not
served by a daily newspaper of general circulation, a copy of the notice
shall be published in a weekly newspaper of general circulation in the
area; and
Article 12.1.1(1 ) (b)
2) Mail or hand deliver, a copy of the notice to all persons served by your
water system, not later than 45 days after the violation; and
Article 12.1.1(1) (d)
3) Provide a copy of the notice to all new billing units or new hookups prior
to or at the time service begins.
Page 2
Per Article 12.1.4(1)(a), the following is the mandatory wording to be used in
the public notice:
NOTICE
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets drinking water
standards and has determined that the presence of total coliforms is a
possible health concern. Total coliforms are common in the environment and
are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria in
drinking water, however, generally is a result of a problem with water
treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the
water may be contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Disease
symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, and any
associated headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however, are not just
associated with disease -causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be
caused by a number of factors other than your drinking water. EPA has set an
enforceable drinking water standard for total coliforms to reduce the risk of
these adverse health effects. Under this standard, no more than 5.0 percent
of the samples collected during a month can contain these bacteria, except
that systems collecting fewer than 40 samples/month that have one total
coliform -positive sample per month are not violating the standard. Drinking
water which meets this standard is usually not associated with a health risk
from disease -causing bacteria and should be considered safe.
You may want to also include wording in your public notice as to what steps
have been taken to rectify the situation and your current status of compliance
with the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations.
As required by Article 9.1.1(5), copies of all public notices issued must be
furnished to the Department within 10 days of completion. Failure to issue
public notices within the required time frame may result in the Department
making public notice in a newspaper of general circulation in your area.
Inadequate response to this letter may lead to legal actions by this
Department.
If I can be of any assistance to you, please contact me at the Colorado
Department of Health, 4210 E. llth Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80220, (303)
331-4549. We appreciate your concern and prompt action in this regard.
