The fuel consumption and emissions measules should be used with
caution and only for corparisons of different signal timings, geometrj"c
design alternatives or for general planning aPplications, as these
catculations are applied to the analysis of a singJ,e intersection within the
CCG and TRAFEIX. Network models are more appropriate since they can
account for the influence of the adjacent control measures and other system
elements.

The fuel consumption and emissions measures should be used with
caution and only for comparisons of different signal timings, geometric
design alternatives or for general planning applications, as these
calculations are applied to the analysis of a single intersection within the
CCG and TRAFFIX. Network models are mole appropriate since they can
account for the influence of the adjacent contro.I measures and other system
elements.

RE: Sunlight Mountain Resort PUD - Snow Avalanche Risk Analysis
Dear Madam or Sir;
The purpose of this letter is to provide documentation that the avalanche risk discussed
in the "SNOW AVAI-ANCHE RISK TO FUTURE FIXED FACILITIES AT THE SUNLIGHT
MOIJNTAIN RESORT'analysis, prepared by HalHartman, can be mitigated using
industry standard design and construction practices'
The analysis identifies lots eleven, twelve and thirteen found in the Defiance
Neighborhood as shown on Map 2 of the above analysis lie within a Blue Zone
avalanche area. Development within the Blue Zone can occur with design and
construction of structures that would mitigate the avalanche risk. Design and
construction methods that may used to mitigate the risk include:
o Avalanche diversion structure uphill of the area that would divert the potential
avalanche flow
. Foundation and walls for individual structures within the Blue Zone area that
would withstand the flow and force of a potential avalanche flow
Sincerely,
SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC.
Dan Cokley, P.E.

EXECUTryE SUMMARY
Purpose ofReport
The purpose of this work is to establish probable exposure lo avalanches and measures of consequences lo
future fixed facilities at the Sunlight Mountain Resort thus satisfu stakeholder, legal and ethical
responsibilities as well as conditions set forth in Section 5.l4.O2of the Garfield County Land Use Code.
Findings
Winter field observations of future fixed facilities and building lots noted on the Sunlight Mountain
Resort PUD Map were conducted between January 176 and January 31"r, 2008. All future fixed facilities
and most building sites are beyond the reach ofavalanches; therefore no restrictions apply to construction.
However winter field observations, extreme value modeling of potential snowfall amountsand application
of statistical-topographical models which predict avalanche runout indicate that a portion of the Defiance
Neighborhood as identified on the Map 2 is located in the East Ridge avalanche path runout zone.
Consequently, a model for scaling design avalanche speeds was fit to the East Ridge avalanche path and
dense avalanche flow velocity and height estimated.
The results, although preliminary, indicate that building envelopes found on lots eleven, twelve and
thirteen may be located in a BIue Zone (moderate risk) where the expected return period Iof the design
avalanche is between 30 and 300 years for impact pressures less than 30 kilopascal.
Recommendations
Pending the results of a bare land analysis to be conducted during summer, it may prove acceptable to
build structures here provided that one or more of the following criteria are satisfied: (l) the exact
location of each building envelope is specified (2) design specifications for structures are to meet
expected avalanche flow heights and impact forces (3) an avalanche diverting structure is constructed in
the East Ridge avalanche track and (4) an avalanche waming and evacuation plan is in place.
SNOW AVALAI\CIIE RISK
TO FUTURE FIXED FACILTTIES AT THE
SUNLIGHT MOUNTAIN RESORT
INTRODUCTION
Winter time field observations of all proposed fixed facilities and building lots noted on the Sunlight
Mountain Resort PUD Map were conducted between January 17h and January 31"t, 2008. With the
exception of lots eleven, twelve and thirteen found in the Defiance Neighborhood as identified on Map 2,
all other proposed fixed facilities and building sites are beyond the reach ofavalanches therefore no
restrictions apply to building.
Regarding proposed building envelopes found on lots eleven through thirteen, methods typical of
avalanche hazardmapping a2'swhich includes extreme value I estimates of the 30 to 300 year retum
period storm snowfall amountand use of statistical-topographical models which predict design avalanche
runout t.o'' wereapplied to the East Ridge avalanche path. Furthermore, scaling desigrr avalanche speeds 8
to the slope profile provided estimates of discharge rates given full avalanche start zone release 1 dense
flow velocities and height' in the track and runout zone. Consequently, estimates from the various
methods mentioned above indicate the building envelopes eleven through thirteen as identified on Map 2
are located in a Blue Zone (moderate risk) where the expected return period lof the design avalanche is
between 30 and 300 years for impact pressures less than 30 kilopascal /.
METHODS
The East Ridge avalanche path slope profile, start zone, track and runout zone characteristics as well as
source area geometry /0 were obtained with hand held survey instruments. AIso, a compuler generated
Resort Terrain Analysis (Map I ) showing terrain steeper than 25 degrees was compared to field survey
findings. Thus, a combination of methods yields the following East Ridge Avalanche path characteristics:

Table 1: Physical characteristics of the East Ridge Avalanche path.
Due to winter conditions field inspection of subtle terrain features, ground roughness, surficial materials
as well as cores // from trees on the East Ridge avalanche path was not possible. Nevertheless, right angle
aerial photographs recovered by the United States Forest Service in 1952 and 1975 /2 were inspected for
evidence ofpast avalanche extents. Although there is no evidence oflarge avalanches later than 1952,
there is a lack ofclear vegetative indicators oflarge avalanches earlier than 1952 because offew mature
and senile trees found in the East Ridge avalanche track and runout zone.
Otalt2 accounts and written records /a of avalanches in the East Ridge avalanche path reach back to the
early 1980s. Since then the two largest avalanches, which stopped upslope from the Traverse, were
triggered by explosives. The upper-limit speed envelope and average flow density yield impact pressgres
typical of size two avalanches (see Table D.l on page 9 of this report). This is not surprising as
interference of the natural avalanche cycle by explosives has two fundamental objectives: (l) to release
avalanches under controlled conditions and (2) to reduce the expected size ofeventual avalanches, both of
which the Sunlight Ski Patrol is fully capable of accomplishing.
Snow supply to the East Ridge avalanche start zone was determined by : (l) extreme value estimates of
precipitation given2T years of records recovered from the McClure Pass Snotel Site; this after a strong

positive correlation was found to exist between monthly precipitation recorded at the summit of Sunlight
Mountain and concurrent precipitation at the McClure Pass Snotel (Figure l) and (2) snow relocated by
wind from source area to start zone.
Figure 2 gives recrrrence estimates and confidence intervals associated with multiday storms arriving at
the summit of Sunlight Mountain. For example, the plum and yellow colored traces say that a multiday
storm with an annual probability of I :300 years will deliver approximately 2l I millimeters of snow water
equivalent at the upper limit of the 68% confidence interval. However, analysis of snow water equivalent
measurements recorded at the summit of Sunlight Mountain, at mid-mountain and at the base area during
December of 1983 shows a linear relationship between elevation and precipitation. Thus, adjusted for
elevation, it is assumed that the I :300 year storm will deliver about 177 millimeters of snow water
equivalent to the center ofthe East Ridge avalanche start zone and source area.

In addition, it is assumed that l/3 of the snow available for transport upwind of the East Ridge start zone

For purposes of modeling design avalanche dynamics the slab was treated as a point mass centered at an
elevation of 2,704 meters. This location was determined by start zone geometry and proximity to the
source area. Furthermore, the estimate of slab height is 1.06 meters at the center of mass given the
adjusted l:300 year water equivalent from precipitation mentioned earlier, typical slab densities in the
absence ofwind as well as increased slab height and densities due to snow supply from the source area.
Equation /found in Figure 3 describes the parabola best fit to the East Ridge avalanche path profile
which provides information for: (l) statistical avalanche runout estimates and (2) scaling avalanche
speeds. Furthermore, the second derivative of equation Zpermits calculation of the runout ratio which
relates the horizontal distances Ax and Xpto the reference angles a, p and 6.
It is important to recognize that the model for scaling avalanche speeds is sensitive to the initial value of
friction, p. At the commonly used value of p = 0.2, the desigrr avalanche stops well upslope from the
Defiance Neighborhood. Nevertheless, reducing the value ofp to 0.15 was necessary to force the model

the data found in Table 2 is dependent on p = Q. 1 5.

Table2 gives the results of statistical and dynamic modeling at the lower end of each segment for the East
Ridge design avalanche, by heading:
Seo: Slope profile segment number, beginning where the center of mass of the slab is found
Vel(ms'l): Avalanche debris flow velocity in meters per second

Av (m3s-1): Discharge rate, in cubic meters per second
Flow d h): Avalanche debris flow depth in meters
Elev (fl:Elevation at the lower end of each segment
Pr = of :Reference impact pressure in kilopascals.
Finally, avalanche flow mass is reduced incrementally from segment l0 through segment l8 by l/3 to
account for mass loss at terrain irregularities and avalanche track boundaries as well as flow deceleration.
Also, avalanche flow density is increased proportionally from 150 kgma to 350 kgm'l from segment l0
through l8 to account for measurements which indicate that deposit densities in the runout zone are
typically 1.5 to 2.5 times those found in the start zone.
DISCUSSION
Due to the timing of this report, the primary limitation is the absence of a bare land analysis where: (l)
surficial materials may be observed (2) vegetative characteristics including cores from incremental bores
may be assessed (3) subtle terrain features that determine wet flow avalanche debris trajectory may be
determined and (a) the extents of nearby avalanche paths can be compared to the East Ridge avalanche
path.
Secondary limitations include: (l) a lack of observations and historical records of weather and avalanche
characteristics at Sunlight Mountain Resort reaching back 50 to 100 years, which is typically the case
throughout North America and (2) no clear indicators of past avalanches which have reached the valley
floor because avalanches with long return periods are infrequent and the East Ridge Avalanche path is no
exception.
Tree density currently approaches 1000 per hectare in the Defiance Neighborhood; however, a thinning of
the forest here is certain due to the construction of roads and buildings. Moreover, the effects of ski

operations overthe next century will serve to decrease tree density in the East Ridge avalanche start zone
and track. Thus, although the East Ridge avalanche path size is presently ranked at approximately 2.5,
avalanche size, frequency and risk will increase if a substantial portion of the forest is damaged or
removed due to human or natural causes.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Application of winter time methods for avalanche risk mapping, including some 34 years of snow
avalanche control experience on behalfofthis consultant, indicate that building sites on lots eleven,
twelve and thirteen may be located in a Blue Zone (moderate risk) where the expected retum period Iof
the design avalanche is between 30 and 300 years for impact pressures less than 30 kilopascal.
However, pending the results of a bare land analysis to be conducted during summer, it may prove
acceptable to build structures here provided that one or more of the following criteria are satisfied: (1) the
exact location ofeach building envelope is specified (2) design specifications for structures are to meet
expected avalanche flow heights and impact forces (3) an avalanche diverting structure is constructed in
the East Ridge avalanche track and (a) an avalanche warning and evacuation plan is in place.
Summer time observations necessary for the completion of an assessment of East Ridge snow avalanche
risk to future facilities include, among others: (l) inspection of surficial materials, vegetative
characteristics and cores from incremental bores (2) assessment of subtle terrain features that determine
wet flow avalanche debris trajectory and (3) comparison of nearby avalanche path characteristics with
clear evidence oflarge avalanche activity to those found at the East Ridge avalanche path.

PURPOSE AI\D SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the findings of a preliminary geologic site assessment for the
proposed Sunlight Mountain Resort Development, County Road 117 (4_Mile Road),
Garfield County, Colorado. The proposed development is located within the existing
Sunlight Ski Are4 see Figure 1. This study was conducted to identifr the geologic
conditions at the property and provide preliminary assessment on how the geology could
affect the feasibility of future development. The original study was performed according
to our April 20, 2007 proposal to Exquisite Development, LLC. This report is an up date
of our July 16, 2007 tryrt and includes additional dweloprnent area property and the
currently propo sed mnceptual development plan.
A field reconnaissance of the property was made on May ts, 2Oo7 to observe and map
the geology. tn addition, we have reviewed published regional geology studies, looked at
aerial photographs and reviewed our previous studies in the area. Based on this
infornratiorl a preliminary assessment of the potential influence of the geology on the
proposed development was made. This report sumrudzes our findings and presents our
conclusions and recommendations.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
At the time ofthis study, development planning was in the conceptual stages. In ge,neral,
the proposed development will include new ski area base facilities and single and multi-
family residential areas as shown on Figure 5. A network ofstreets will provide access to
the proposed building areas. The development will be serviced by a new water treatment
plant and waste water treatment plant.
SrtE CONDITIONS
The project site is located along the Fourmile Creek valley within the existing Sunligtrt
Ski Area about tm miles southwest of Glenwood Springs. Near the ski area, Fourmile
Creek has eroded a deep valley that lies about 1,800 feet below Sunlight Mesa to the
JobNo. 107 0317 c&eec*r
-2-
north and the top of the ski area to the south. The upper valley sides are steep with slopes
typically in the range of 50 to 75 percent. The valley sides become more gently sloping
on the lower valley sides in the proposed development area. In the proposed development
areas, slopes are ty'pically in the range of l5 to 30 percent. Vegdation on the north-facing
slopes in the project area is a mixed conifer and aspen forest. Vegetation on the dryer,
south-facing slopes is oak and other brush with some scattered mnifer trees and aspen
groves.
REGIONAL GEOLOGIC SETTING
The project site is located on the Grand Hogback monocline that forms the transition
between the Southern Rocky Mountains to the east and the Colorado plateau to the west,
see Figure 2. The monocline is also the transition structure between the White River
uplift to the northeast and the Piceance basin to the southwest, see Figure 3. The
sedimentary rocks along the monocline in the prqect area strike nearly north-sogth and
dip between 40 and 50 degrees to the west into the Piceance basin. The monocline and
adjacent uplift and basin are regional structures formed by compressional tectonics dgring
the Laramide orogeny about 40 to 80 million years ago. Following the Laramide orogeny
the region underwent a younger period of regional deformation related to waporite
tectonics that produced the Carbondale and Eagle evaporite collapse centers, see Figr:re 3.
The project site is located near the southwestem limit ofthe Carbondale evaporite
collapse center.
The Carbondale evaporite collapse center @vers about 460 square miles. As rnuch as
4,000 feet of evaporite related subsidence has occurred near Carbondale in the central part
of the collapse ce,nter during the past 10 million years. Much of the collapse appears to
have occurred within the past 3 million years which also corresponds to high incision
rates along the Colorado River and its tributaries (Kunk and Others, ZOOZ} This indicates
a long-tern1 regional subsidence rate in the central part ofthe collapse center ofb'etween
0'5 and 1.6 inches per 100 years. At the project site nem the westem timit of the collapse
center, evaporite deformations are minor in comparison to deformations in the central part
JobNo. lO7 0317 c&&acrr
-3-
of the collapse center near Carbondale. If evaporite is present in the subsurface below the
project site it lies at depths greaterthan 20,000 feet.
Several northwest-trending, flexural-slip faults related to evaporite tectonics are present
in the project area, see Figure 4. The flexural-slip faults are downthrown on their west
sides and occur along the west dipping bedding planes in the sedimentary rocks that form
the Grand Hogback monocline. The faults are associated with relaxation or unfolding of
the monocline related to evaporite flowage from beneath the eastem part of the monocline
into the Roaring Fork River valley. These faults may have been active during the early
Quaternary but this is uncertain (Widmann and Others, 1998). Considering the nature of
evaporite tectonics the faults are not considered capable of ganerating large earthquakes if
the faults are still active. The closest geologically yomg, post-glacial faults, considered
capable of generating large earthquakes are in the Rio Grande rift to the east, see Figure
2. Post-glacial faults are present in the northem section of the Williams Fork Mountains
Fault Zone (Q50) about 69 miles to the northeast and in the southern section of the
Sawatch Fault Zone (Q56b) about 68 miles to the southeast. At these distances, large
earthquakes on these two fault zones should not produce strong gound shaking at the
project site that is greater than that indicated by the 2OO2 U . S. Geological Survey
National Seismic Hazafi, Maps (Frankel and Others, ZOO2).
PROJECT AREA GEOLOGY
The main geologic features in the project area are shown on Figure 4. The geology in the
vicinity of the proposed development area is shown on Figure 5. These two maps are
based on our field observations and are modifications ofthe regional geology map by
Kirkham and Others (1996). The two maps are preliminary and may need to be modified
based on additional studies as project pranning and design proceeds.
ROCK FORMATIONS
Rock formations along the west drpping Grand Hogback monocline in the project ,uea are
the Eoce,ne- and Paleocene-age, wasatch Formation (Tw) and upper cretaceous-age
Mesaverde Sroup (Kmv). These sedimentary rocks strike nearly north-south and tlip
Job No. lO7 0317 Geeech

between 40 and 50 degrees to the west. Erosion remnants of Miocene-age, basalt flows
(Tb) cap Suntight Mesa to the north of Fourmile Creek.
Wasatch Formation
The wasatch Fonnation underlies colluvium and the landside deposits in the westem part
of the proposed development area. An outcrop of the Wasatch is present along the north-
trending ridge to the north ofFourmile Creek in this areq see Figure 5. The outcrop is
formed by relatively strong sandstone and conglomerated that probably also gnderlies the
ridge line in the weste,m part of the ski area to the south of Fournrile Creek. The wasatch
consists of interbedded and lenticular claystone, siltstong sandstone and conglomcate.
The formation is variable in color and includes ta4 yellowish- and reddish-brown, and
purple beds. It is about 5,000 to 6,000 feet thick. Most of the Wasatch is relatively weak
rock and landslides are common in the project area and elsewhere in the western
Colorado region where the formation is present.
Mesaverde Group
Rocks ofthe Mesaverde goup lie to the east of the Wasatch Formation and are present
below colluvium and landslide deposits over most of the eastern part of the proposed
development area. An outcrop ofrelatively strong Mesaverde sandstone is present along
the north-trending ridge line to the north of Fourrrile Creek in this area. This resistant
sandstone probably also underlies the colluvium below the north-trending ridge to the
south ofthe creek' The Mesaverde group consists of lenticular sandstone, siltstone, shalg
limestone and coal beds. Three abandoned, underground coal mines are present to the
east ofthe project site, see Figure 4. The Mesaverde group is about 5,000 feet thick. The
Mesaverde is less susceptible to landslides than the Wasatch but landslides associated
with the weaker Mesaverde beds are present in the project area
Miocene Basalt Elows
The Miocene-age basalt flows that cap Sunlight Mesa have been radiometrically dated to
be between 9.2 and,1l.4 million years old (Budahn and others, zooz). The flows are
about 200 feet thick and were deposited on a regional erosion surface of low relief After
deposition, the flows were tilted eastward about 6 to 10 degrees towards the center ofthe
JobNo. 107 O3l7 cd&ecrr
-5-
Carbondale evaporite collapse center as a result of evaporite related unfolding along the
monocline (Kirkham and Others, 2002) The present day relief between the flows and
Fourmile Creek is about 1,600 fest.
ABANDONED COAL MINES
Three abandoned, underground coal mines are located to the east of the project are4 see
Figure 4. The closest mine to the project site is the Sunshine Mine that is located about
800 feet to the east of the eastem property line. The coal is in the Mesaverde group and
the coal seams dip about 50 degrees to the west towards the pdect site. The Srmshine
Mine was operated between 1888 and 1903. During that time about 910,000 tons of coal
were rqlorted to have been mined.
SURFICIAL SOIL DEPOSITS
Surficial soil deposits usually cover the forrnation rocks in the project area. These soils
include colluviurn, stream alluvium, alluvial fans and high-level alluviurn
Colluvium
Colluvium (Qc) usually covers the formation rocks on the valley in the project area and is
the most exte,nsive surficial soil in the area. The colluvium tlpically consists of gravel-to
boulder-size rocks in a sandy clayto clayey sand matrix. Thickness of the colluvium will
be highly variable. ln general the colluvium is thinner on the upper valley sides and
thicker on the lower valley sides. Borings at a proposed wastewater treatment plant site
e,ncountered 29 fwt of colluvium on the lower valley side near Fourmile Creek
(Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, 2003). The plant site is located on the north side ofthe
creek to the northeast of the ski area parking lots, see Figure 5. This is the site of the
curently proposed water and wastewater plants.
Stream Alluvium
Narrow bands of stream alluvium are prese,nt along the valley floors of Fourrrile Creek
and Babbish Gulch. The younger (Qal) deposits include the modern stream channel and
Job No. l0l $n c&&acrr
-6-
low terraces next to the channel. in places, reurnants of order (ea2) stream alluvium are
present below higher terraces along the creeks. These higher tel:aces at the most are
about 10 feet above the creeks. The alluvium typically consists ofrounded gravel and
cobbles with occasional boulders in a clayey sand matrix. The stream alluvium is less
than 15,000 years old and was deposited in post-glaciar times.
Alluvial Fans
several smal[ geologically young, alluvial fans (Qfl) are prese,nt along the north side of
Fourrrile creek to the north of Mule Gulch and along the northeast side ofMule Gulctr,
see Figures 4 and 5' An older alluvial fan (Qfz), that is no longer active, is present where
Mule Creek joins Fourmile Creek. The fan deposits tlpically consist of gravel-to
boulder-size rocks in a sandy clay to clayey sand matrix. The younger (ef1) frns have
developed at the mouths of steep ephemeral drainage basins with slopes steeper than 50
percent' They are the resuft of sediment deposition related to recurring, but infrequent,
intense thunderstorm triggered debris flows and debris floods. The younger (efl) fans
are stiil active and pote,ntial sites of fufure debris flows and floods.
High-Level Alluvium
Isolated rer:rnants of high-level alluvium (QTa) are locally present along several of the
higher drainage divides in the project arear see Figure 4. The most extensive remnant is
along the drainage divide between Fourmile creek and Freeman creek to the east ofthe
top of the ski area on sunlight Mountain. In this area the high-level alluvium is cut by
several, northwest trending, bedding-plane faults that are related to evaporite tectonics.
The high-level alluvium consists mostly ofbasalt gravef cobbles and boulders in a
weakly cemented, clayey to sandy sift matrix. Boulders up to 6 to g feet in size are
common in the high-level alluvium. In places, it may be as much as 100 feet thick. The
high-level alluvium lies about 1,600 feet above the modern creek channels. It is younger
than the 9.2to I L4 million years old Miocene basart flow. Because of its high
topographic level in the landscapq it is believed to be of late Miocene-, pliocene- or early
Quatemary-age (Kirkham and Others 1996).

LANDSLIDES
Landslides are corlmon in the project area and are present over much of the proposed
development area, see Figure 5. Based on their surface appearance, we have mapped
tbree relative ages of landslides. The Qll landslides are the youngest, the QD landslides
are of intermediate-age and the Qlii landslides appear to be the oldest. The current
stability state of all three landslide age classes cannot be determined with a high level of
confidence base on surface observations. The Qll landslides are probably curently at a
critical stability (active) state. Parts of the QD and Qlil landslides could be near a critical
stability state. Additional studies will be needed to assess their current stability and
potential risks to development.
Youngest Landslides
The youngest (Qll) landslides are relatively small in comparison to the other two, older
landslides. The youngest landslides appear to be currently active or have been recently
active. Only one Qll landslide is present in the proposed development area, se€ Figure 5.
This landslide is in a 20 foot high cut slope excavated for the ski area parking area. It is
directly related to the cut slope excavation in an area where shallow groundwater seepage
is present.
Intermediate-a ge Landslides
The intermediate-age (QD) landslides have surface features that appear to be more rece,nt
than the oldest (QIi!) landslides. The interrnediate-age landslides are of two t1pes, large
hillside failure complexes and earthflows. Large hillside failure complexes cover most of
the western part ofthe proposed development area and probably involve colluvium and
the underlying Wasatch Formatiog see Figure 4 and 5. Two earthflows are present in the
eastern part of the proposed dwelopment area to the south of Fourmile Creek, see Figures
4 and 5. They probably involve colluvium and the underlying weaker beds in the
Mesaverde goup.

The intermediate-age (QD) landslides developed soon after the topography had evolved
to near its current configuration. Most are large hillside failure complexes. These
landslides are geologically yorrng features that probably started to fomr during the late
Pleistoceng within about the past 130,000 years. They probably have also undergone
large scale movements in post-glacial times, during the last 15,000 years. The
intemediate-age landslides currently appear dorrrant with respecl to recent large scale
displacement, but they could be experiencing seasonar creep.
Oldest Landslides
The oldest landslides (QI3) have surface features that appear older than the intennediate-
age (QD) landslides. Like the intermediate?age(Ql2) landstides they are mostly large
hillside failure complexes. The Qlil landslide at the southeast property corner
appears to be a large, rotational or translational tlpe landslide that exte,nds deep into the
Mesaverde $ouP, see Figures 4. Landslide related escarpments at the head ofthis
landslide form an arc-shaped graben.
Like the intermediate-age (QD) Iandslides, the oldest (Ql3) landslides also developed
soon after the topography had evolved to near its current configuration. These landslides
are also geologically young features that probably started to form during the late
Pleistocene, within about the past 130,000 years. some parts ofthe oldest (el3)
landslides may have also experienced large scale movernents in post glacial times, during
the last 15,000 years, but other parts of the oldest (el3) Iandslides may have been
donnant during the past 15,000 years. Like the intennediate-age (eD) landslides, some
parts ofthe oldest (Ql3) landslides may be experiencing seasonal creep.
GEOLOGIC SITE ASSESSMENT
The current stability state ofthe landslides will be a major factor in determining the typg
feasibility and potential risks to the proposed development. other geologic conditions
that should be considered as project planning and design proceeds include construction
relaied slope instability, debris flows, rockfall, coal mine subsidence and earthquake
ground shaking. Geologic conditions that should be considered their potential risks
Job No. 10'7 0317 e&&actr
-9-
based on our curre,lrt understanding ofthe geology, and possible mitigations to reduce the
risks are discussed below.
LANDSLIDES
The landslides will have a major influence on the feasibility of the proposed dwelopme,nt.
It is not possible to assess the current stability state of the landslides in the project area
with a high level of confidence base on surface observations alone. The assessment of the
curre,lrt stability state of the landslides and their potential risks to development will
require additional study as discussed in the Additional Landslide Studies section of this
report. Because ofthe large size of the QD and Ql3 landslides, mitigation to reduce the
risk of landslide related problems may not be feasible if additional studies show stability
to be near a critical state.
CONSTRUCTION RELATED SLOPE INSTABILITY
The potelrtial for construction related slope instability should be considered when locating
building sites, roads and other project facilities that require substantial grading. Steep
slopes and areas of groundwater seepage should be avoided to the extent practical.
Preliminary grading plans when available should be reviewed by a geotechnical engineer
and a program of subsurface exploration and laboratory testing should be developed to
evaluate site-specific conditions. Based on these studies, recommendations for grading
that will reduce the risk of mnstruction relate slope instability can be developed.
Subsurface drainage, retaining walls and slope reinforcement may be needed in areas of
deep cuts and high fills.
DEBRIS FLOWS
The geologically young alluvial fans (Qfl) in the Mule Gulch area are the potential sites
for future debris flows and floods, see Figure 5. The only development currently
proposed in potential debris flow areas are roads and day skier parking. Mitigations for
these facilities is probably not warranted since debris flows are infrequent and the cost of
JobNo. lO7 0317 c&ttecil
- 10_
mitigation will likely be greater than the cost of clean up and repair ofpotential debris
flow damage.
ROCKFALL
Some ofthe sandstone outcrops ofthe Wasatch Formation (Tw) and Mesaverde goup
(Iftnv) on the norther:r Fourmile creek valley side are potential start zones for rockfall,
see Figure 5' Rockfill from these outctops in some areas have the pote,ntial for traveling
down slope all the way to Fourmile creek. The only currently proposd development in
potential rockfall areas is the water plant and wastewater plant site, see Figure 5. Further
studies should be performed to assess the potential rockfrll risk to the plant site and to
determine if mitigation is waranted and feasible.
COAL MINE SUBSIDENCE
The abandoned sunshine, Midland and sr:nlight underground coal mines are located to
the east ofproposed dwelopment are4 see Figure 4. The closest mine to the site is the
sunshine Mine that is located about 800 feet to the east ofthe eastern property line.
Depending on the deptlu tlpe and exte,nt of the underground mine workings, it is possible
that some building sites in the eastern part of the proposed development may be in the
potential mine subsidence influence zone. If availablg mine maps ofthe sunshins an6
Midland mines should be reviewed to assess ifthe mine workings present a subsidence
risk to the eastern part of the development area.
EARTHQUAKE CONSIDERATIONS
Historic earthquakes within 150 miles of the project site have typically been moderately
strong with magnitudes ofM 5.5 and less and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensities of\n and less, see Figure 2. Tbe largest historic earthquake in the proJect region occurred in
1882' It was located in the northern Front Range about 122 miles to the northeast and had
an estimated magnitude of about M 6.2 and a maximum intensity of vII. Historic ground
shaking at the project site associated with the 1882 and the other larger historic
JobNo. 107 0317
eeeecrr
- lt -
earthquakes in the region does not appear to have exceeded Modified Mercalli Intensity
VI (Kirkham and Rogers, 1985). Modified Mercalli Intasity VI ground shaking should
be expected during a reasonable exposure time for the project structures, but the
probability of stronger ground shaking is low. Intensity VI ground shaking is fett by most
people and causes general alarnl but results in negligible damage to structures of good
design and construction.
Buildings and other project structures susceptible to earthquake damage should be
designed to withstand moderately strong ground shaking with little or no darnage and not
to collapse under stronger ground shaking. The U. S. Geological Survey 2002 National
Seismic Hazud Map indicates that a peak ground acceleration of 0.069 has a l0%
exceedence probability for a 50 year exposure time and a peak ground acceleration of
0.23 ghas a2% exceedence probability for a 50 year e4posure time at the project site
(Frankel and Others, 2002). This corresponds to a statistical recurrence time of about 500
years and 2,500 years, respectively. The soil profiles at the building sites should be
considered as Class D, stiffsoil si/es as described in the 2006International Building Code
unless site specific studies show otherwise.
RADIATION POTENTIAL
Regional studies by the Colorado Geological Survey indicate that the closest radioactive
mineral occlur€nces to the project site are located along the Grand Hogback monocline
located over 22 miles to the northwest ofthe project site (Nelson-Moore and Others,
1978). Regional studies by the U. S. Geological Survey for the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) indicate that the project site is in a part of Colorado with a high
radon gas potential (Dubie[ 1993). The 1993 EPA regional radon study considered data
from (1) indoor radon surveys, (2) aeialradioactivity surveys, (3) the general geology,
(4) soil permeability estimates, and (5) regional architectural practices. It is not possible
to accurately assess future radon concentrations in buildings before they are constructed.
Accurate tests of radon concentrations can only be made when the buildings have been
completed. Because ofthis, new buildings in moderate to high radon areas are often
Job No. 101 0317 cstecrr
-12-
designed with provisions for ventilation of the lower enclosed areas should post
construction testing show unacceptable radon concentrations.
ADDMONAL LANDSLIDE STUDfES
Additional studies will be needed to assess the current stability state and risks associated
with buildings, roads and other movement sensitive facility planned in the Qll, QD and
Ql3 landslide areas- The scope of the additional landslide studies should be based, in
paG on the tlpe and locations of the proposed facilities. The studies should include deep
subsurface exploration that extexds through the landslide deposits. Laboratory testing
should be performed on sa:rples take,n from the borings to determine shear strength and
other engineering properties. Piezometers and inclinometers should be installed in some
of the borings for long-term groundwater and slope movement monitoring. The
monitoring should extend through at least one snow pack melt season but also be located
so that the monitoring can continue during the deveropment.
Information obtained fiom the subsurface exploratioq laboratory testing, groundwater
level and slope movement monitoring should be analyzed to assess the current landslide
stability state and risks of landslide related problems. In some areas, limit equilibrium
stability models can be use to assist in landslide evaluations. It is possible that the
additional studies may show that there is an unacceptable risk of movement in some of
the landslide areas that may warrant changes to the development plans.
LIMMATIONS

observations and our experience in the area. The information presented in this report has
been prepared exclusively for our client for feasibility planning purposes. we are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. Additional
geologic and geotechnical engineering studies will be needed for landslide evaluations

Introduction
A waters of the U.S. (wous), including wetlands delineation has been conducted at sunlight Mountain
Resort (5MR) on private lands in Garfield County. This delineation was performed by SE Group on May
29 through June 1, 2007 and June 21, 2007. The survey area includes an overlap of previously delineated
areas included US Army Corps of Engineers (AcoE) numbers tgg87so27 and 2ao375459. Those areas
with previous determinations (dated October !O,zOOLand December 12, 2003) were reconfirmed in the
field and found to be fairly similar (only several areas where the delineated wetland boundary has
inffeased in size) to the previously mapped and verified wetland boundaries. sample points were taken
along previously determined wetland boundaries in areas that are not strictly determined by
topography (e.g., bench areas adjacent to stream segments and areas of new beaver activity).
Therefore, this request for Jurisdictional Determination (jD) includes the reconfirmation and extension
of JD validation of previous two previous JDs as well as a determination of newly detineated areas.
For location purposes, the study area is grouped into four separate general coordinate points:
r coordinate point 1: 39.4018"N ,7o7.34o7"w (NAD27), UTM 13 2g8M8E 4363772N (NAD27),

Section 33, Township 7 South, and Range g9 West
The study area, which also represents the Planned Unit Development (pUD) area, is approximately 471
acres.
lncluded in the "Findings" section of this report are the WOUS, including wetlands acreage and linear
feet ofstream channel by area.
Delineation Objectives
The primary objective of the wetlands, including waters of the US, delineation performed by SE Group
includes the following:
B Delineate the geographic extent of jurisdictional WOUS, including wetlands, within and adjacent
to proposed project areas consistent with protocols identified in the Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual [1987 Manual] (Environmental Laboratory 19g7) and pertinent
regional guidance letters and public notices.
$unlight lVtrml'lntaln Res*rt * Wetland Oelineation Rep$rt
o Produce an accurate map that depicts the location of the waters, including wetlands within the
property boundary (Study Area) depicted on the wetlands map dated June 5, 2007.
Methods
To ensure consistency with US Federal, Colorado State, and local regulations, SE Group delineated
wetlands (as defined in 33 CFR 328.3 (aXL-8) and 328.3 (b-c)) within the Study Area consistent with the
methodology outlined in the 1987 Manual. The methodology found in the 1987 Manual was
implemented with the benefit of current regulations and Regulatory Guidance Letters (RGL) and
memoranda (US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), RGL 82-2 and 86-9)(Corps, Memorandum 3-92).
According to the 1987 Manual, a three-parameter approach is used when making wetland
determinations, wherein positive indicators of wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic
vegetation all must be present in order to determine that a given area is a jurisdictional wetland
(Environmental Laboratory 1987).
According to the 1987 Manual, wetlands that have been disturbed through natural and/or
anthropogenic alteration of hydrology, soils, and/or vegetation do not necessarily exist under "normal
circumstances" (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Areas that do not exist under "normal
circumstances" require modified wetland delineation techniques identified as the "Atypical Method of
Delineation" in the 1987 Manual. lt is the opinion of SE Group that all of the wetlands delineated within
the Study Area exist under "normal circumstances" outlined in the 1987 Manual. Therefore, the
wetlands within the Study Area were delineated using protocols outlined in the "Routine approach"
section of the 1987 Manual. Copies of data sheets used in the wetland delineation are attached to this
memorandum.
Dominant species in each of four strata (i.e., tree, sapling/shrub, herb, and woody vine) were identified
as the most abundant species that immediately exceed 50 percent of the total measure of plant
dominance for that stratum, plus any additional species that comprise 20 percent or more of the total
areal cover for that stratum. For each stratum in the plant community, dominant species are the most
abundant plant species (when ranked in descending order of abundance and cumulatively totaled) that
immediately exceed 50 percent of the total dominance measure for the stratum, plus any additional
species comprising 20 percent or more of the total dominance measure for the stratum (the 50/20
Rule).
Meeting the hydric soils parameter for wetland determinations requires fulfillment of at least one of the
four technical criteria using published soils information and field indicators. The surveyor used field
indicators to make decisions regarding the hydric soils parameter.t Field indicators are intended to
supersede guidance provided in the 1987 Manual. Soil colors were determined in the field using
standard NRCS sampling techniques and Munsell Soil Color Charts, Soil testing during field investigations
generally revealed low chroma colors and mottling within wetland boundaries.
t USOA Natural Resource Conservation Service, 1998
$unlight f$lountain Reso$
lndicators of wetland hydrology observed at SMR included inundation, inferred soil saturation to the
surface, drainage patterns in wetlands, and the Fac-neutral test. streams, springs, and seeps provide a
constant and reliable source of water for most of the wetlands within the study areas.
SE Group delineated the jurisdictional woUS within the study Area consistent with the definitions
provided in 33 cFR 328'3 (a)(1-5). The applicable portions of the woUS definition are as follows, ,,ali
other waters such as interstate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams)...the use,
degradation, or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce...,, and ,.tributaries of
waters identified in paragraphs (aXl)-(a) of this section" (33 cFR 328.3 (a)(3 and 5)). ln apptying this
definition to field conditions, sE Group uses the following criteria for identifoing intermittent and
perennial waters of the US: (1) distinct bed and bank features must be present, (2) an identifiable
ordinary High water (oHW) must be present, and (3) the landforms near the stream must exhibit
morphology that is indicative of stream processes (i.e. and identifiable concave watershed, not a plainer
or convex surface).
Findlngs
wous, including wetlands at sMR primarily consist of high quality riparian wetland systems associated
with the Four Mile Creek and Babbish Gulch. These main drainages are perennial systems fed by
intermittent drainages and adjacent springs and seeps. Four Mile Creek and Babbish Gulch have a high
frequency of beaver activity with both active and inactive beaver ponds throughout the study area. ln
addition to Four Mile creek and Babbish Gulch, jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional (isolated) wetlands
were identified throughout the study area. Dominant raparian and wetlands vegetation at sMR includes
Salix sp., luncus sp., Corex sp., Alnus tenuifolia, Populus angustifolia, Deschompsio cespitoso, Senecio
triangularis, Equisetum arvense, verotrum colifornicum, Populus tremuloides, and plceo pungens.
The attached wetland delineation figures depict all identified jurisdictional and proposed non-
jurisdictionalwous, including wetlands present within the sMR study area encompassing primarily
private lands. Additionally, included on the figures are GpS'ed sampling points (e.g., sp-01), which
correspond to locations where a data form was completed for wetland and upland locations. Therefore,
on each data form, the "plot lD" number corresponds to the mapped locations.
Fourteen jurisdictional and proposed non-jurisdictional WOUS, including wetlands, totating
approximately 33.34 acres were delineated within the boundaries of the study area. Seeps, springs,
intermittent and perenniaI streams, and groundwater recharge from snowmelt primarily feed these
wetlands within project watershed (refer to the attached figures).
$unlight Mountain Rsssrt " Wetland Delineation *eport
Wetland classification is based on the Cowardin classification system.2 The Cowardin system classifies
wetlands primarily by dominant plant community. Three types of jurisdictionalwetlands were identified
within the project area consisting of palustrine emergent, palustrine shrub/scrub, and palustrine open
water (no palustrine forested wetlands were identified). Additionally, as noted above, WOUS were
identified. ldentified wetland type and acreage and stream type, acreage and linear feet are presented
in Table 1.
SE Group also delineated non-jurisdiction WOUS, including wetlands that are either isolated (SWANCC
Decision) or do not meet the definition of WOUS as described in recent ACOE guidance dictated by the
Rapanos Decision.

Pa lustrine Emersent Wetla nds
Palustrine emergent wetlands occur over a total of 0.49 acres across the study area. This wetland class is
characterized by the presence of erect, rooted, usually perennial, herbaceous hydrophytic plants.3 corex
sp', Equisetum arvense, Caltho leptosepalo, and pedicularis groenlandicoand were the dominant plants.
Low chroma soil matrices exhibiting loYR 2/1 at 8 inches or a thick organic layer of greater than g inches
were characteristic of these hydric soils. The primary hydrologic input for pEM wetlands throughout all
project areas is groundwater (i.e., a high water table).
Pa lustrine Sh rub/Scrub Wetlands
Palustrine shrub/scrub (PSS) wetlands represent the majority of wetlands delineated within the study
areas, totaling 25.57 acres. cowardin et al. has defined this type of wetlands as being dominated by a
woody vegetation community composed of shrubs and young trees less than 6 feet tall.a The dominant
species present within these wetlands includes salix geyerano, s. plonifolia, potentilto fructicoso, and
Alnus incana. The majority of the PSS wetlands found within the project areas were within the riparian
zone and extending to adjacent or abutting wetlands of the Four Mile Creek and Babbish Gulch.
Palustrine Open Water Wetlands
Palustrine open water (Pow) wetlands occur over a total of 1.13 acres across the study area. A large
Pow wetland is located in the southwest portion of the study area. This pow wetland is approximately
two feet deep with floating aquatics (water tily) and emergent vegetation on the edges. This system was
not classified as isolated as with the amount of hydrology, it is presumed to have a perceptible
groundwater flow/connection to adjacent drainages.
Waters of the U.S.
The project area includes intermittent and perennial drainages within the project areas (refer to Table
1)' The intermittent channels primarily result from groundwater springs and include a surface and/or
groundwater connection to Four Mile creek. Additionally, the majority of these channels include
adjacent wetland (PSS) vegetation; and were therefore classified in Table 1 as wetlands and stream
channels. The drainages included in this detineation report included all of the previously delineated
wous, and several additionaljurisdictional wous were identified.

Non-Jurisdictional WOUS. includine Wetlands
On January !O,2@7, the Supreme Court (SWANCC Decision) ruled that the ACOE could no longer claim
isolated wetlands satisfied the commerce clause solely based on the fact that the site could be used for
migratory birds. This decision effected ended the ACOE's regulation of isolated waters.
Within the study area, four wetlands (W-02, W-08, W-13, and W-14) were determined to be isolated
based on a lack of surface water connection and/or a lack of perceptible groundwater flow. The isolated
wetlands typically form from a groundwater seep in a topographically flatter (bench) area, where the
minimal amount of hydrology does not persist beyond the wetland boundary identified by presence of
wetland vegetation, soils and hydrology. Four stream channels (S-01, 5-06, S-08, and S-11) forming from
a groundwater seep, which typically occur on a hillslope were identified within the project area and
determined to be isolated due to the lack of surface water connection and/or a lack of perceptible
groundwater flow. At the time of the delineation, many of these WOUS, including wetlands were dry.
Of note, sp-01 was taken within what is mapped on the USGS quadrangle map - Cattle Creek as Mule
Gulch. Field confirmation indicates that there is not a jurisdictional channel present (no defined bed and
bank or lateral scour pools). Therefore, this drainage is not identified on the attached wetlands figure.
Furthermore, the sampling point location identified the presence of uplands as the area did not have
hydric soils or wetland hydrology.
A summary of non-jurisdictional WOUS, including wetlands are found in the following table.

Sunlight Mountain Resort - Base Area PUD llildlife Analysis and Mirigatton Plan June 15.2007
PART I - BASELINE VEGETATION
COMPOSITION AI\[D WILDLIFE HABITAT
1.1 lvtnooucrloN
This document provides a baseline assessment of Wildlife and Vegetation Resources within two parcels
of land proposed to be developed as the Sunlight Mountain Resort Planned Unit Developments (PUD),
the Compass Peak PUD and the Williams Peak PUD. tn addition, the document provides action items to
minimize and/or mitigate the impacts of the proposed development on wildlife resources. The total of
45GI acres of tand is located almost l0 miles south of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in the Four Mile
Creek drainage, Township 7 South, Range 89 West, Sections 32 and 33, in Garfield County, Colorado
(Figure l). The elevation of the Ski Area Base is 7,885' MSL, the summit of Compass Peak is located at
g,gg5'MSL.
Sunlight's PUD application to Garfield County will include approximately 800 residential units
(single/multi-family) and 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space at base areas serving both Compass and
Williams Peaks.
As the project becomes more refined, it is the developer's intent to disclose any impacts to wildlife and
other critical natural resources, and to provide mitigation actions where impacts cannot be avoided or
further minimized.
1.2 Mnrnoos
Prior to prepamtion of this baseline report, pertinent background information was reviewed, individuals
familiar with the project were interviewed, and maps, aerial photos, and natural resource descriptions of
the project area were obtained by Westem Bionomics. Based on this pre-field work, the goals and
objectives of the natural resource assessment was developed, focusing on economically important species,
rare and special status sp€cies, and species with which the proposed project may pose conflicts.
A site visit was made to the project area by Westem Bionomics' Principal Biologist, Mr. Kelly Colfer, on
June 10, 2007. Wildlife habitat was reconnoitered to assess the property's suitability to support the
species addressed in this document. Detailed plant association descriptions were prepared, areas of
potentially important wildlife habitat were identified, and evidence of species presence or absence was
documented.

1.3 Rzsuus
1.3.1 PlantCommunities
The dominant plant communities on the property
include aspen, mountain grasslands, and Gambel oak.
Plaat community acreage on the property is displayed
in Table 1, and depicted in Figure 2. The following
narrative provides a general description of eac[
vegetative community and its associated dominant
vegetation.
1.3.1.1 East parcel
(a) Aspen
(a)(l) Skiers'tefi of Midway
Aspen stands to skiers' left of Midway in the east
parcel are mostly uneven-aged and 2-storied. Stocking
in_the upper canopy layer is uniform, but light (trees ari
widely spaced) and all size classes from 5 to 14 inches
in diameter are present. The open stocking of the
overstory, presumably due- t9 natural thinning as a result of mortality, has led to abundant sprouting andthe formation of a second,- lower canopy layer. Abundant aspen sprouting has also occurred on theperiphery of these stands where there is good expos*e to the ,un. Tr"., in this lower canopy are verydensely stocked, and size classes from i to 5 inches in diameter are present. The stand is generallyhealthy and the dominant aspen display good bole form and crown development. Numerous subalpine firseedlings and saplings are unevenly distributed throughout the understory.
The understory ii composed of aspen seedlings/saplings, serviceberry, chokecherry, snowberry, andwoods rose. Understory- herbs include peavine,'meaOow rue, lupine, blue wildrye, thermopsis, woodsrose, yzurow, Kentucky bluegrass, nodding brome, strawberry, serviceberry.
(a)(2) Skiers,right of Midway
(i) Aspen / subalpine fir
Most of the aspen stands to skiers' right of Midway are,even-aged, single storied stands with a significantsubalpine fir component. These stands are composed of severJ diiferent aspen clones of various size andconfiguration. The main difference between thi clones is in tree size and stocking levels. witt i, clones,aspen stocking is densely uniform and all size classes from 5 to l0 inches in diameter are wellrepresented.
These stands are generally healthy and the dominant aspen display good bole form and crowndevelopment' Some of the trees that were exposed to the sun via open run creation have died due tosunscald' Additionally, ffiilY of the smaller trees that have been over topped have died recently due tothe stress brought about by competition and lack of sunlight.

basal area and is present as widely scattered individual sawtimber. Fir seedlings and saplings are
numerous and distributed randomly throughout the understory.
A minor irmount of canker-causing fungal infection is present. However, the infection does not appear to
be threatening the stands as a whole at this time. Aspen is an early seral stage species on all of these sites
and over thJlong term (50+ yea$) more shade tolerant conifers (Douglas fir, Englemann spruce and
subalpine fir) will gradually become a more significant component, and eventually replace the aspen
altogether.
-
Forest floor vegetation includes the same vegetation described under (a) above, with the
addition of more snowberry and common juniper.
(b) Subalpine fir / juniPer
An interesting ecotonal stand of subalpine fir / Utah juniper is present in Sundown Glades. Subalpine fir
seedlings andlaplings are numerically abundant and densely dominate understory vegetation. Understory
vegetation includes Thurber fescue, woods rose, yarro\f,, strawberry, and Kentucky bluegrass-
(c) Mountain Shrub
Immediately below the fir/juniper stand is a stand dominated by mountain shrub species including
serviceberry, snowberry, snowberry, mountain maple, wild raspberry, and woods rose. Scattered
subalpine fir and Utah juniper are present as well. Understory herbs appear to be a mixture of those found
in the previously described aspen and fir cover types'
(d) Gambel Oak
South-facing slopes on the east parcel are dominated by a Gambel oak / snowberry plant association.
Additional *oody plants found in the overstory include scatterings of Utah juniper and Douglas fir.
Moister sites in thiJdry shrubland include patches of chokecherry and snowberry. Common forbs in the
understory include peavine, bedstraw, vetch, yarrow, fleabane, meadow rue, ligusticum, elk sedge,
Kentucky bluegrass, smooth brome, letterman needleglass, and slender wheatgrass'
(e) Ski Slopes
Ski trails in the vicinity of Midway on the east parcel are dominated by fine fescues, smooth brome,
Kentucky bluegrass, dandelion, vetch clover, yaxrow, and elderberry. Production appea$ excellent, as
does herbaceous cover.
1.3.1.2 lYest Parcel
(a) Aspen
The majority of stands in the west parcel are dominated by aspen demonstrating various clonal
phenotypes. Sites in the northern portion of the parcel are south-facing and appear to be suffering
decreased vigor, most likely as a result of several years of drought. Numerous dead trees are apparent
throughout this portion of the propedy, and sunscald is commonly observed.
North-facing aspen stands on the south side of Four-mile Creek appear more vigorous and do not exhibit
the signs ofdrought witnessed across the Creek. All size classes from 5 - 14 inches diameter are well
represented. Theie stands are generally healthy and the dominant aspen display good bole form and
crl*r, development. Subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, and Douglas fir are all present in variom
proportions, constituting between SYo and 50% of the basal area as widely scattered individual sawtimber.
nir and spruce seedlings and saplings are numerous and dishibuted unevenly throughout the understory.

Sunlight Mountdin Resort - Base Area PIJD l4/ildlife Amlysis and Mitigalion Plan June 15,2007
A moderate amount of canker-causing fungal infection is present. While the infection does not appear to
be threatening the stands as a whole at this time, portions appear notably weakened as a result of the
infections. Aspen is an early seral stage species on all of theii sites and over the long term (50+ years)
more shade tolerant conifers (Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, and subalpine fir) will gradually Uecome a
more significant component, and eventually replace the aspen altogether. Forest floor vegetation includes
the same vegetation described above, with the addition of a signifiiant component of swdtroot.
1.3.1.3 Riparian, Both Parcels
wous, including wetlands at SMR primarily consist of high quality riparian wetland systems associatedwith the Four Mile Creek and Babbish Gulch. These main drainages are perenniai systems fed by
intermittent drainages and-adjacent springs and seeps. Four Mile Creek and SaUUish Gullh have a higir
frequency of beaver activity with both active and inactive beaver ponds throughout the study area. fn
addition to Four Mile Creek and Babbish Gulch, jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional (isolated) wetlands
were identified throughout the study area. Dominant riparian and wetlands vegetation at SMR includes
Salix sp-, Juncus sp., Carex sp., Alnus tenuifolia, Populus angmtifotia, Deschimpsia cespitosa, Senecio
triangularis, Equisetum arveruJe, Veratrum califurnicwn, Populus tremuloides, arri Pic"o pr.ngens-
Fourteen jurisdictional and proposed non-jurisdictional WOUS, including wetlands, totaling
approximately 33.29 acres were delineated within the boundaries of the study areas. Seeps, springsl
intermittent and perennial streams, and groundwater recharge from sno*mClt primarily feea tf,ese
wetlands within project watershed (refer to the Wetland Delineation Report for more detail).
1.3.2 Wildlife
The Draft Garfield County Land Use Resolution requires an applicant for development to submit aWildlife Analysis as p{ of the application. The purpose of ttiC wltatife Analysis is to protect and
maintain wildlife in Garfield County and to minimize the risk of dangerous interaition between humans
and wildlife.
This portion of the Wildlife Analysis identifies the location of significant wildlife habitat. During thepreliminary and final planning phases of the Sunlight Base Area project, reference to this document will
assist the developer to determine the potential impacts of developmen! and to identiS appropriate
avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation techniques.
Specific species addressed below include elk, deer, bear, peregrine falcon, and lynx. In addition, other
pertinent wildlife habitat or activity areas will be addressed.
The plant communities described above, although not rare, imperiled, or otherwise unique, do provide
components necessary to support h variety of wildlife species. Habitat is the spatial and ternporal
arrangement of food, cover and water that is required to meet the biological needs of one or more
individuals of a species. Each wildlife species is adapted to a specific arrangement of these componentsto provide for their essential life history requirements. Wildlife species associated with the Sunlight
Mountain Resort property are typical ofwestern slope aspen, Gambel oalq and riparian habitats. Some of
these species rely on habltat present on the property during portions, if not the eniirety, of their life cycle.
Riparian sites in particular provide essential wildlife habitat, as statewide they cover only 3% oi the
landscape but provide habitat to approximately 80o/o of Colorado's wildlife species during some stage of
their lifecycle.

Sunlight Mountarn Resorl - Base Area Pl.lD Wildl{e Analysis and Mirigarion Plan June I 5. 2007
Wildlife species that are known to utilize or are likely to utilize habitas present on the property can be
broadly grouped as big game, predators, small murmmals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Species of
wildlife that may be expected to utilize habitats on the property are described below, with reference to
their use ofhabitat found specifically on the property.
1.3.2.1 Big Game
Big game species that are known to utilize habitats on the property include black bear (Urstts
anericaruts), elk (Cervus canadensis), and mule deer (Odocoileus hemianus).
(a) Black Bear
Evidence of black bears exists throughout both Sunlight Mountain Resort
parcels as claw marks on trees, rofien logs ripped apart, and hair on tree
bark from rubbing. Black bears are extremely territorial in their habits.
Sizes of home ranges are variable depending on the sex of individuals and
on the quality of habitat. In Colorado, annual home ranges of less than 2.5
square miles to 117 square miles have been documented. Bears may use
their home range on a year-round basis or may, because of changing food
and cover conditions, use the home range only seasonally. Individual bears
have shown seasonal migrations in the Colorado Mountains of 8 - 22 miles
from summer foraging sites to area.s where fall mast and berry production are
(b) Elk
Sunlight Mountain Resort is located in a landscape considered to be habitat for elk of the Avalanche
Creek herd (Data Analysis Unit E-15). The 2005 post-hunt population estimate for the Avalanche Creek
herd is 3,034 animals. The CDOW believes that the E-15 elk population is at the objective for this unit.
The 2005 calf:cow ratio for E-15 is 30:100, the 3 year average calf:cow ratio is 39:100, the 5 year average
is 43:100, and the l0 year average is 47:100. As of 2005, the calf,cow ratio had dropped l8% in ttre past
3 years (2003-2005) and 38 % in the past 5 years (2001-2005). The decreasing calf:cow ratio is
conceming, since it would be expected to increase as the population
decreases, as a result of less competition for (primarily) winter forage.
The lower ratio is likely to be an indication of loss and deterioration of
winter range availability and condition.
Both Sunlight Mountain Resort parcels are located outside of elk
winter range. They are, however, located on the periphery of elk
production range, as mapped by CDOW (Figure 3). By definition, elk
production range is that part ofthe overall range ofelk occupied by the
females from May 15 to June 15 for calving. Elk production range,
also referred to as calving habitat, is not as specifically definable as is winter or summer range. There is
little evidence ofannually repeated use ofcalving areas by specific cows beyond the normal happenstance
of a herd being at about the same locality during migration on successive years. In general, elk calve at
the point where climatic factors have made an area accessible at the time of parturition. There are
exceptions to this generalization, however, that show habitual use of calving areas by certain cows. In
fact, cow elk normally calve on transitional spring ranges at about the same locations, but in years of
abnormal weather conditions, they may calve above or below this range.
high.

As for habitat that is typically chosen for calving, hiding cover is usually within easy reach of each cow if
she does not actually calve within that cover type. Most calving otcu.s in the vicinity of the edge
between rather open foraging areas and adjacent forest escape couer. Free water is important, and calviig
areas are usually located within 1300 feet of a water source. Calving areas are often located on genfl;
slopes (20'30o/o) with southerly exposures that offer ground cover concealment in the form of broken
terrain, shrubs or down logs, and other coarse debris.
Western Bionomics' site visit conducted June 10, 2007, did, not reveal any evidence of elk utilization
during the2007 calving period. This does not mean that elk do not use thlse parcels, just that in2007
they were not utilized during the calving period.
Portions of the lower slopes of both mountains provide excellent forage and cover in close proximity towater. It is likely that during years of normal to early snowmelt, elk calve higher on both mountains.
Howeveq during years of later than average snowmelt, it is likely that elk calve on these lower slopes.
(c) Mule Deer
Mule decr that may utilize the landscape within the 2 parcels are
part of the Maroon Bells herd (Data Analysis Unit D-I3). The 2007
post-hunt population estimate is 22,810 individuals (CDOW 2OO7 -Broderick to supply). Both parcels are located outside any mapped
mule deer range, other than summer and overall range.
(d) Bighom Sheep
Colorado is home to the
largest population of bighorn
sheep in the world. The
massive, coiled horns of
mature rams may make up to l0 percent of the body weight.
Parasitic disease is common in bighorns. Coyotes, mountain lions
and eagles prey on them, and some bighorns succumb to accidental
falls. colorado herds are widely scattered throughout the mountains
and foothills of the state. Bighorns typically occur in steep, high
mountain terrain. In Colorado, they prefer habitat dominated by
grass, low shrubs, rock cover and areas near open escape.
The Sunlight parcels are located well outside ofany bighorn sheep occupied range.
1.3.2.2 Predators
Potentially suitable habitat exists on the property for several predator species,
including coyote (Canis latrans), badger (Taxidea faxis), red fox (rtutpes
vulpes), mountain lion (Fells concolor), bobcat (Lynx rufiis), raccoon (procyon
lotor), and striped skunk (Mephi tis mephitis).
Most of these predators seek topographic or vegetative cover for concealment
during the day. Foraging activities take place primarily betwe€n dawn and
dusk, at which time these predators rely on the cover of darkness to capture
prey. There is no habitat for canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) within either
parcel.

Sunltght Mounta,n Resort - Base Area PIJD llildlife Analysis and M,ttgatnn Plon June 15.2007
1.3.2,3 Small Mammals
Small mammals or known to occur on the property include yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota
flavescens), golden-mantled ground squinel (Spermophilus lateralis), Wyoming
ground squirrel (spermophilus elegans), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus),
several species of voles (Microtus sp.), shrews (Microsorex sp.), and bats. These
rodents all provide value as prey species for wildlife species including golden
eagle, redtail hawk, coyote, fox, and many others.
1.3.2.4 Birds
(a) Raptors
Suitable foraging and nesting habitat exists on both parcels for red-
tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). northern goshawk (Accipiter
gentilis), Coopers hawk (Accipiter cooperif), sharp-shinned hawk
(Accipiter striatus), American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and great
homed owl (Bubo virginiaruts).
The property is located outside any mapped Bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalw) range. There are no known winter roosts or bald eagle
nest sites closer than the Roaring Fork River (closest nest site and roost
is 5 miles to the east-northeast. The closest known peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) eyrie mapped by
CDOW approximately 9 miles to the southeast. Falcons may occasionally hunt on either parcel, however
such use would not be expected to be any greater than elsewhere in similar aspen and oakbrush habitats in
the Roaring Fork valley.
Migrating raptors such as sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus), Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni),
femrginous hawk (Buteo regalis), rough-legged hawk (Buteo lagopus), peregrine falcon, and merlin
(Falco columbarius) may also use the property during spring and fall.
(b) Upland Gamebirds
The properly does not provide habitat for any of Colorado's grouse species, other than dusky (blue)
grouse (D endr a gapu o b s curu).
1.3.2.5 Amphibians and Reptiles
Reptiles and amphibians that may occur in the project area include tiger salamander (Ambystoma
tigrinun), leopard frog (Rana pipiens), striped chorus frog (Pseudacris triseriata'), smooth green snake
(Opheodys vernalis), and western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans.
1.4 Sul,ttttlnY
The Sunlight Mountain Resort parcels provide habitat for a broad variety of wildlife species. While the
property is located within calving range for elk, there was no evidence of their presence on the property
during the typical calving period of 2007. Peregrine falcons from eyries located over 9 miles to the
southeast would not utilize the property to any greater extent than elsewhere within their foraging range.

Sunlight Mountarn Resort - Base Area PUD llrildl{e Analytis and Mitigation Plan June 15,2007
Overall, the property does not provide any form of wildlife habitat that stands out as spectacular and of
any greater value than elsewhere in the Roaring Fork valley. There is no rare or unique plant community
present on the property. It is anticipated that any potential impacts associated withthe development of
this property can be addressed by creative, responsive site design and/or with other mitigating measures to
be determined during the preliminary plan design phase.
2.PART II - WIDLIFE MITIGATION PLAN
The proposed Sunlight Mountain Resort PUD encompasses approximately 468 acres surrounding the base
area of Sunlight Ski Area. The Applicants are proposing 830 total units, including 50 employee units
together with I 10,000 total square feet of commercial and guest service spaces . A new internal road
network will be created.
This lYildlife Mitigation Plan has been developed to avoid, minimize, and mitigate wildlife impacts
resulting from the Sunlight development proposal. The recommendations contained herein are theproduct of information obtained through field surveys, literature research, and consultation with
representatives of the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW). The plan was prepared by WestemBionomics LLC and is oryanized according to specific wildlife issues.
"Vh"r"
miti[ation measures apply
to more than one issue, they are discussed only once, under the most appropriate heading.
The Developer, its successors and assigns, and/or the Owners' Association (OA) will commit to thefollowing wildlife miti gation measures.
2.I Erx PnoDUCTToN R txcn
2.1.1 fssues
Elk production range is mapped by CDOW on the property. To prevent impacts to elk during calving
s€ason' interpretive signage will be placed at appropriate locations to prohibit intry to the area rnapped by
CDOW as elk production range between May 15 and June l5 each year.
2.2 Noxtous WEED i,LlN,ectMEr,{T
Noxious w@ds, primarily Canada thistle (Clrsium arvense) are present
at numerous locations on Sunlight. Furthermore, earthwork required
during construction activities will likely create conditions conducive to
future weed invasions.
Therefore, an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) plan will be
implemented to control weeds in a coordinated manner to reduce their
impact on the property over the long term. The objectives of weed
control and prevention include:
1) Prevention of further weed encroachment into uninfested portions of the permit area.2) Detection and eradication of new introductions.
Weslern Bionomics LLC Naural Resource Management Sen,ices Page 8
Sunlight Mountatn Resorl - Base Area PUD llildlife Anolysis and Mitigation Plan June 15,2007
3) Containment and control of current infestations.
4\ Site-specific revegetation in areas as necessary.
Appropriate herbicides will be applied to weed infestations once per
year. Where practical, following the initial application any re-
sprouting weeds will be cut or mowed throughout the remainder of the
growing season to assist in depleting the root reseryes and avoid
flowering and seed production. Herbicides will not be applied near
standing water, unless specifically intended for such use. Herbicides
will only be applied under the direction of a certified pesticide
applicator.
Revegetation of infested areas may be required to eradicate weeds in areas that do not support an
understory of desirable species that could re-occupy the site after weeds are controlled. Such areas
include piles of soil which are heavily infested, and sites which have been heavily disturbed.
The adoption of the prevention strategies described below will be implemented by the Homeowner's
Association (HOA) within Sunlight to minimize any future invasion by weeds on the Garfield County
Noxious Weed List:
1) Vehicle and machinery movement through weed infestations will be discouraged. Soil
disturbance by vehicles and machinery will be limited to the minimum necessary for construction
and maintenance. The vigor and competitiveness of perennial grasses will be fostered to prevent
additional weed invasions.
2) Eradication of weed infestations will require annual monitoring and evaluation to
ensure successful removal of all reproductive organs of the weed. Infested sites
will be treated on an annual basis until no weeds are found.
3) Sites will be subsequently monitored for a period of 3 years following eradication
ofweeds to assess the success ofcontrol measures.
4) Should noxious weeds be subsequently discovered on any site, appropriate
eradication measures will be applied.
2. J L,IT,IuSCAPING AND RECLAMATION
Specific guidelines for landscaping in occupied wildlife habitat will be included as part of comprehensive
homeowner's brochure delivered at closing by the Developer or the Association with the Sunlight Design
Guidelines. Residents will be educated by the HOA to recognize that they moved into wildlife habitat
and that wildlife may eat what the homeowner's plant.
2.4 FnuctNc
Fencing shall be restricted at Sunlight to facilitate local wildlife movements. Fencing approval will be
under the purview of the Desigrr Review Board. All permanent fencing will be built to CDOW
specifications. Subject to review and approval by the Design Review Board, owners may be permitted
privacy fencing, dog runs, etc. located within the building envelope. Exceptions to fencing outside of any
building envelope will be permitted only upon permission of the Design Review Board and the local
officer of the Colorado Division of Wildlife prior to installation.

2.5 Accnss AND UsE Rwrrucrtoxs
Sunlight is private property. only owners and their guests, employees and agents of the HoA and other
parties authorized by the Developer, Garfield County, or the CDdW (and approved by the Developer)will be permitted on the property.
Recreational snowmobiling will be permitted only on designated routes across Sunlight property.
However, use of snowmobiles and snowcats to set cross country trails, and for maintenance and
management access is unrestricted. Seasonal closures relative to elk are described below.
2.5.1.1 Etk
To prevent impacts to elk during calving season, interpretive signage will be placed at appropriate
locations to prohibit entry to the.area mapped by CDOW as elk productio, .a.,ge during calving ,"^on.
The USFS has closures on Special Use Permit lands from May I through luni zz. Tf,e area closed to
entry during calving season may be modified year by year, if elk are found to be utilizing additional areasofthe property during the calving period.
2.6 Pnr Cournot Rnsrrucnous
uncontrolled pets are a significant source of disturbance and mortality in human-occupied wildlifehabitats. Dogs have the ability to harass and kill witdlife, including game, and domestic cats are asignificant source of mortality for songbirds. Thus, dogs and cats at Suntight will be controlled by their
owners and will not be allowed to roam free.
Residents can have one dog per unit as allowed by Garfield County code. Enclosed yards must be
located immediately adjacent to the home, within the building envelope. If facilities are inadequate to
contain the resident dog(s), the HOA will require the immediate removal of the animal from the property
until adequate structures can be built.
Homeowners will be required to control their pets at all times. Outside of the individual homeowneCs
property boundary, dogs must be under leash control. Visitors should not be encouraged to bring dogs
on-site. Guests of homeowners shall comply with all dog control measures.
The HOA shall be responsible for enforcing dog and pet covenants. Garfield County and the CDOW mayalso control stray dogs and cats. Homeowners not in compliance with these pet restrictions will be
responsible for any and all costs incurred by the HOA, Garfreld County, and/or the CDOW while
enforcing these provisions. Should the HOA knowingly fail to enforce these pet control restrictions,
Garfield County and/or the CDOW may enforce the dog covenants and recover any and all costs incurred.
HOA initial penalties for first, second, and subsequent violations witl be a waming, $100.00 fine, and a
$300.00 fine, respectively. At their discretion, the HOA reserves the right to im-pose more restrictive
penalties on violators. If the pet owner fails to comply at any time after thi first offense and waming, the
Association may request removal of the pet from Sunlight. Non-payment of a fine or failure to remove
the pet(s) from the property shall be considered a separate violation for each day that the pet remains, and
shall be enforced (i.e., fined) accordingly.
Contractors and subcontractors shall be prohibited from bringing dogs into Sunlight, even ifdogs are kept
inside vehicles. Violation of this dog policy shall result in the immediate eviition of tne aog and the
dog's owner or representative from the property. In the event of a second violation by the iame dog
Western Bionomics LLC Nanral Resource Munagement Serlic€s Page l0

and/or the same dog's owner, the dog and the dog's owner or representative shall be immediately evicted
from Sunlight, and the offending person in question shall be frohibited from the property for the
following 7 consecutive calendar days. In the event of a third violation, the offending person in question
shall be prohibited from Sunlight for the following 6 consecutive calendar months.
Sunlight owners, employees and residents will be educated by the Association regarding Sunlight pet
policy. Homeowners will be prohibited from feeding dogs and other pets outside their homes, including
decks and similar enclosunes, to avoid attracting nuisance wildlife or predators.
2.7 NUTS,,ENCE WILDLIFE AND PREDATORS
The potential for wildlife-human conflicts increases when humans move into occupied wildlife habitats.
Techniques designed to minimize elk-human conflicts include landscaping with unpalatable vegetation
and recreational restrictions, as described above. In addition to elk, the Sunlight development includes
significant parcels ofhigh quality forest and woodland currently inhabited by black bears, coyotes, foxes,
and mountain lions. Black bears are ecologically adaptable omnivores atfiacted to a wide array of food
sources. Nevertheless, black bears are not likely to become a problem if potential food sources, especially
garbage, are kept secure and inaccessible. Coyotes are also attracted to garbage, and may attack pets on
oc"usion. While mountain lions typically avoid residential areas, they are attracted to big game wintering
habitat, and may enter nearby residential areas and attack pets.
Eliminating the factors that attract wildlife and educating residents are the two most effective strategies
for minimiiing wildlife-human conflicts. The following mitigation measures are designed to minimize
wildlife-human confl icts:
l) All garbage shall be stored in bear-proof containers that meet North American Bear Society,
CDOW, or U.S. National Park Service specifications. There shall be no outside storage of any
trash or garbage, no matter how briefly (e.g., ovemight), anywhere within Sunlight. Trash
containeri shall be taken to collection points (e.g., the end of driveways) on the morning of
collection" not the night before.
2) Dumps or underground refuse disposal sites will not be permitted within the developments.
3) Residents shall be prohibited from using a garden compost pile, unless the compost pile is bear-
proofl meeting North American Bear Sociery, CDOW, or U.S. National Park Service
specifications. Residents will also be informed that household and garden waste can attract bears.
4) Pets shall not be fed outside. Bowls of pet food left on outside decks will attract bears and other
predators, especially coyotes and skunks.
5) With the exception of bird feeders, the feeding, baiting salting, or other means of attracting
wildlife to individual yards will be prohibited.
6) Residents will be educated by the Association about the importance of removing bird feeders on a
nightly basis, and will be required to remove feeders when the residence is not occupied for a
period of 2 or more days.
7) Homeowners will be educated about bears, mountain lions, and other local wildlife via CDOW
brochures. One copy of each brochure, along with this Wildlife Mitigation Plan will be provided
to each homeowner at closing.
ll/estern Bionomics LLC Natn'al Resource Management Sen'ices Poge I I
Sunlight Mountain Resort - Base Area PUD Wildl ife,4nalysis and Mitigation P lan June 15.2007
Fines and penalties for first, second, and subsequent violations for the above nuisance wildlife and
predators regulations will be the same as those noted above for failure to control pets.
2.8 Hrru, wc Atto Fxnr,tc
With the exception of Dishibution Management Hunts, or any other hunts to assist CDOW in reaching
herd management objectives, hunting will be prohibited at Sunlight. Only owners, their guests, and
others specifically authorized will be allowed to fish on Sunlight. Fishing will be allowed and will be
regulated by state law as well as, to the extent appropriate, by spoial regulations formulated by the HOA.
2.9 CorcneDo DIV$IoN oF WILDLIFE lvonpnarrc,ETroN
The HOA shall indemnify the Colorado Division of Wildlife from any and all future wildlife damage
claims on Sunlight property, including those claims brought by any agricultural lessees. The grazing
agreement, if any, with an outside operator will include the same indemnification.
2. I 0 Rnsnnnr Eouctrtotr
Resident education is the key to a successful wildlife management plan to enhance the area for wildlife
while providing a safe environment for residents. Residents will be educated by the HOA relative to the
value of the existing plant communities as wildlife habitat, as well as techniques to minimize wildlife-
human conflicts. As part of a comprehensive brochure package provided by the HOA to property owners
during construction and at closing, literature will be included on techniques for minimizing herbivore
damage to landscaping, avoiding wildlife mortality on roads, pet policy, and living with local wildlife,
such as mountain lions, elk, bears, and coyotes.
3. AMENDMENT AI\D ENFORCEMENT
This Agreement shall not be amended without the written consent of the local CDOW District Manager,
Garfield County Board of County Commissionen, and the HOA. No amendment shall require the
approval of any owner except for Exquisite Development, or their successors or assigns" No Owner shall
be deemed to be a third party benefrciary of this Mitigation Plan, nor shall this Plan be enforceable by any
owner, except Exquisite Development. If any conflict occurs between the Association documents and this
Mitigation Plan, the more restrictive provision shall take precedent. This entire Mitigation Plan,
specifically those sections addressing dogs, fencing, garbage management, and noxious weed control can
be enforced by Exquisite Development, the CDOW, or Garfield County.

2 INTRODUCTION
The base area of Sunlight ltbuntaln Resort is being studied for potentialexpansion, including thepossible developnent of up to eight neighborhoooi. Tfrs analysis exanines the areas underconsideratbn with two goals:
1) To identify the nature and severity of wildfire hazards in this area
2) To provide recomrEndations for nitigating those w ildfire hazards identified
futentialfire behavior was deternined through an exanination of the three relevant inputs ofvegetation (fuels), weather, and topography.

lprile severe f ke years have produced large fires in both the \Mrite Rfuer l*,lational Forest and the
GSFD dbtrict, the Sopris Ranger Dstrict around the Sunlight tt/buntain Resort has not been
subjected to such large fires in recent history. WHland fire is a significant concern for the 6FD,
and w ith approxlnately 1/g of w iHland f ires in the Soprb Dstrict attributable to escaped canpf ires,
public education and fire prevention need to be enphasized in any new conmlnity.
4 HAZARD ASSESSMENT
\Mrile fire is an integral conponent to the environrent around Sunlight tMountain Resort, the nix of
aspen stands and areas of grass throughout the resort help reduce the chances of high intensity
fire entering the proposed conm.rnity. The topographic position of this area, generalty at the base
of slopes, is also favorable in terns of wildfire hazard avoidance.

For this analysis, potentialfire behavior was evaluated based on fuel characteristics, weather, andtopography. Vegetation types, or w ildland fuels, w ere ranked in terns of fire hazard. This wascorbined w ith slope in order to determine the overall hazard. The eight proposed neighborhoodsare all in areas rated as low to npderate fire hazard by these criteria.
The Sunlight area was rated as high hazard in the Gtenwood grings Conrrurnity W6fire RotectionHan (CWPfl- This places the area in the ndddle of the scale that ranges from Low to 5,kene.Armng the tw enty-three w ildland adjacent neighborhoods assessed in the ctme Sunlight w asrated as lower hazardthanT}% of the fire district. \Mrile tre basis of this high r"ting ; ;"fid;i,"nthe coarse resolution of the o/vPB a close exanination of the proposed devJbpnent reveals firehazards are relatively nitigateable with appropriate actions (Anchor foint C*oup 2OO7).

Fire behavior nodeling was based on two sets of weather and fuel rmisture paraneters, one foraverage fire season conditions (energy release conponent 16th - Sgth percentile) and one forsevere case coMitions (energy release conponent 90n - 100h percentile). Gonditions weregenerated from historic w eather datra for a fire season of June through Septenber.
l-fistoric f ire w eather data w as obtained from the Gow n rerncte autonated w eather station(RAWS), located 14 ndles west of Sunlight at 8,303 feet (IJSDA 2w7),just south of the Tow n ofCarbondale. This is the closest weather station that collects the approiriate data. Weather andfuelnpisture data were obtained for 1992 through 2004 fromthis tlsFS station. This data isfornatted to be used in the lrlational Fire Danger Rating Systemand was analyzed using the FireFamily Plus conputer program (Bradshaw and Briftain zOoO1.

futential f ire behavior w as nndeled using the average and severe case w eather conditions in the
BEHAVE Plus 3 conputer program (Andrews and Bevin 2005). There are a nurber of inherent
assunptions and linitations to this fire behavior npdel. Given the variety of fuel conditbns found in
nature, the fuel npdels used shouH be conskJered representative points along a continuum The
resufting predicted fire behavior represents a range of behavior probable under the given
conditions that can be used to help guide decisions.
Drring two days of fbH assessnent, a series of twenty-one test plots were estab$shed in the
areas of proposed developnent (see Map 1, Sunlight Mountain Field Plots). For each plot,
canopy characteristics and surface fuel conditions were assessed and docunented w ith
photographs. This data was used to deterndne w hich fire behav'ror fuel rmdels (FBFM) best
represent the conditions for each fueltype found on site. Overall, the npst suitable fuel rncdeb
were found in the Sandard Fire Behavior Fuel ltlodels recently developed by Scoft and Burgan.
A s lope ol 20o/o w as used f or all nodeling, this being the w orst case in close proxinity to the
proposed honp sites. For the purpose of rnodeling potentialtansition to crow n fire, foliar npistures
were set to 130o/o (average) and 100% (severe) per current standard practice (Scoft and
Reinhardt 2001). Based on field observations, a canopy base height of 3 feet was used for FBFM
TUS, and 20 feet w as used for FBFM TU1. Ftazard ranking w as then based on flanB length, rate of
spread, potential for crow n fire, and resistance to control.

Asoen: Low Load. Drv Clirmte llnber-Grass-Shrub. TU1
The Sunllght [Vbuntain Resort is
dominated by aspen stands w hich exist
in a w ide array of age classes and
conditions. The predoninant surface
fuels are conposed of perennialgrasses,
forbs, shrubs, and aspen suckers.
Understory shrub species include
snow berry $ymphorocarpos
oreophi I us), chokecherry (Padus
i rgi ni ana), serv iceber ry (Anel anc h i e r
alnifolia), Utah juniper (Sabina
osfeosperma), Roc(y [t/ou ntain juniper
(Sablna scopulorum), and cornron
juniper (Juniperus communis). Subalpine
fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and Ehglenann
spruce (Plcea engelmannii) can be
found in both the overstory and
understory of nnny of the stands.
Fire is the rrcst inportant disturbance agent for aspen in Colorado, but aspen stands are generally
considered solrew hat fire resistant (Ronre 2003). The succulent forbs and perennial grass do
not support intense fire for rruch of the fire season, and the high, thin canopy tends to resist crow n
fire initiation and spread. Fire refurn intervals for Colorado aspen are bel'eved to be approxinately
140 years, but stand heafth nay tend to decline after about 80 years without disfurbance (Ronne
2005). Fire exclusion ray result in the decadence and decline of an aspen stand or in conifer
encroachnent. Both cases jeopardize stand survivaland create conditions prone to higher
intensity fires.
The aspen stands for this area generally fall under FBFM TUl, "low load, dry clinate tinber-grass-
shrub." Predicted fire behavior renains under 3 feet even in severe clinatic conditions, and rate of
spread is slow at 5 feeUninute. As npdeled, the likelihood of a surface fire transitioning into a
crow n fire is extrenely unlikely.
Though fire in aspen tends to be low intensity, conifer encroachnBnt, buildup of deadfall, or a
dense shrub understory can support problenntic fhe betravior under dry conditions. Sone locat
aspen stands are beginning to transition into this FBFM TUS, "very high load, dry clinate tinber-
shrub'. This fuel rnrdel is discussed in detail later, but this fuel profile rnrst be altered/nitigated
w hen it occurs in proxinity to structures.
Grass: t\lbderate Load. Drv Oinnte Grass. GRI
Grass fuels are found on ski runs and in openings betw een forest and brush stands. As
nentioned, fire behavior in this light fuel type should not be underestinated. The effecE of w ind,
slope, and sun exposure are allheightened in this exposed fueltypes. These areas were nndeled
as FBFM GM, "rnf,derate load, dry clinate grass.' Fires in this fueltype nny nove rapidly and
present a rncderate challenge to control. Fortunately, the perennialgrasses generally found around
Aspen understory includes grass, forbs, brush, and
young trees

the proposed developnent are rncre resistiant to f ire than the earlier curing annua! grasses of low er
elevafrons. As such, thb fuel nodel nay over predict fire behavior for the area.
ttfixed @nifer: l'{qh Load. Drv Clinate Tinber-shrub. TIJS
Ehgelnann spruce - Subalpine fir stands favor npist, coolsiles and experience infrequent stand
replacing fires on order of 150 to over 300
years apart. The low branches in these
stands allow for the initiation of crow n fire
which is readily propagated through the
dense canopy under the rQht conditions.
FBFMTIJS, "high load, dry clinate tinber-
shrub," is used to represent these stands.
Though fires are infrequent in these stands,
they have the potentialto be high intensity
crow n fires. $ruce and fir are found
throughoutthe aspen stands, but are not
doninant species untiloutside and upslope of
the proposed conrnrnity. These stands nay
be close enough to structures to w arrant
specif ic nitigation efforts.
These fuels are generally separated
fromthe proposed developnent by a
road or aspen stands. lrlevertheless,
ffigation treatnents of this conbustible
fueltype nay be warranted in sone
cases.
Ganbel's Oak Hioh Load. Drv Oinate.Shrub. 5l-6
\Mrile fire in Ganbel's Oak brush is a najor concern in the Glenwood $rings Fire Protection District,
this area is fortunate to have onty linited concentrations of this fueltype in the area. lt/odeled as
FBFM Sl-6, "high load, dry clinate shrub," these dense brush stands can generate flane lengths of
over 20 feet and rapid rates of spread. Under severe conditions, fire suppression is very difficult.
The oak brush stands in this area can exceed 6 feet in hepht and have a high load of dead linbs.

Mtlti-spectral satellite inngery w ith a 15m resolution w as used in concert w ith the f bld test ploF todevelop Map 2, Sunlight Mountaln Vegetatlon and Fuets (uSGS 2006). Each fueltype wascategorized and ranked according to its predicted hazard. The slope layer was created byresanpling Landfire data to 15m resolution and creating four slope categories (see Map 3,Sunllght Mountaln Percent Slope) (IJSGS 2005). The slope category was added trc the fuel

The hazard rmp illustrates that the rmirrity of pioposed building envelopes areplanned for areas of relatively flat terrain and low or npderate hazard fuels in this area.

5 \trILDFIRE PROTECTION AND MITIGATION
Conm.rnities and hones can not be 'fireproofed." The potential loss of property to w ildfire is an
inherent risk of buiHing in the \ffUI. Adherence to f ire, land use, and building codes and standards
will nininize the risk of property bss and the danger to residents and firefighters. lVhny of these
activilies require reguhr naintenance to renain effective.
5.1 MrtrcerloNkroRrrlEs
1) Conmrnity Planning: Han the Sunlight lVbuntain conmrnity to provide for adequate
erergency access, egress, and water suppty.
2') Defensible $ace: Oeate and rrBintain adequate defensible space around allstructures in
the WUl.
3) Sructure Characteristics: Build structures using w ildfire resistant designs and nuterials.
4) Forested FuelBreaks: Where appropriate, thin vegetation along roads, trails, and conmlnity
boundar'res to create zones less likely to support high intensity fire behavior.
5.2 COUTTUT.UTY PI.AIINING
These guidelines are designed to be consistent w ith CSFS guidelines and the hternational Fire Code
w hich is currently used by the GSFD. Relevant regulations and standards are here sunrrarized
and paraphrased to provide general guldellnes for the planning stage of this developnent, but the
specific regulatory language, AHJ, and referring agencies mlst be consulted dlrectly.
Conmrnitv Access Routes
\Mrere practlcable, there shouH be a ninim,rm of tw o entrance/exit routes for each neighborhood.
This appears to be provkled for in the initialplans for a najority of the neighborhoods.
Oyerall access/egress for the Sunlight tvbuntain Resort is provided by County Road 117. The
possibility of travel to the north along this route beconing conpronised by a w ildfire shouH be
considered. Designated on-site safety zones shouH be considered. Large neadow s
approxirmtety 3 niles to the w est of the Sunlight base area on Forest Service Road (FSR) 300 nay
provide another safety zone afternative. FSR 300 should not be considered a viable evacuation
route beyond accessing these potentialsafety zones.
FireAooaratus Access
Fire apparatus access roads should extend to w ithin 150 feet of all portions of a building's exterior
wall(lFC 2003, section 503.1.1).
Dead-end fire access roads in excess of 150 feet shall have approved turn around areas. (lFC
s03.2.5)
Clearance: Fire access roads shall have a ninimlm unobstructed w idth of 20 feet and height of 13
feet 6 inches. Mnimlmwidth for access road with hydrant is 26 feet. Grades over 10% should be
approved by theAHJ (lFC2003,Appendix D).
hssible Benptions: TheAHJ nny extend this distance w hen structures are sprinldered, there are
no rore than two hones on the access route, or geographic obstacles nake alternative neans of
approved fire protection npre appropriate.
Ilsf Roocr MouNrAN EcoLocICAr SERvIGS, INC 1l
Roads and bridges shouH be built to support the w eight of local f ire apparatus. Weights used torepresent an average piece of fire apparatus vary from40,000 to 7s,000 lbs.
GJI-de'sacs
Gounty standards indicate that cul-de-sacs shoutd be less than 600 feet in length and terninate
w ith an approved turnaround (depending on the nunber and type of structureJ served). Grl-de-
sacs exceeding 600 feet nuy be approved due to topographic linitations if energency access
concerns are othenry ise net (Garfield County 1gg4).
Water Suoolv
An approved w ater supply capable of delMering the required f ire flow for fire protection shall beprovided (lFC 2003' 508.1). All portions of a 1 or 2-f arly dw etling shall be w ittrln G00 feet of a fire
hydrant, 400 feet for conrrercial buildings (lFC 2003, SOg.5.1).
fussible Bceptions: The distance for conrrerciat structures nay be extended to 600 feet for
sprinklered buiHings (lFC 2003, 508.5.1). Rural areas nay be exenpt if an approved alternative
nethod of fire service water supply (e.g. water tanks or tenders) is developed (|FC2003, SO8.S.1
additional conrrentary)-
Guidelines for deternining ninirrum fire flow for structures are provided in IFC 2003, appendlx B.Mnimtmfire flow for 1 and2-tanily dwellings under 3,600 square feet is 1000 gpmfor 30 nin. Forresitjences over 3,600 square feet, ninirrumflow is 1500 gpmfor 30 nin. Mnirrumflow for al!
other buildings is 1500 gpm for 2 hours, w ith specif ic requirenents dependant upon construction
type and building square footage (tFC20Og, table 81OS.1).
Safetv Zones
Defensible space, w hile increasing a structure's survivability, w ill not necessarily create a tenabb
area for fire crews or residents in the event of hbh intensity wildfires. The inclusion of safety
zones in the conmlnity design can provkle an area for fire crews to rirle out the passage of a hlgh
intensity fire and then return quickly to structure defense. \Mlthout a safety zone, the fire crew s
w ill have to choose betw een a rDre lengthy retreat or rermining in place and endangering
thenseMes. Safety zones nay also provide residents and staff w ith an alternative should
evacuation routes becone conpronised. The current guideline is for a separation between the fire
and personnel of four tines the fire's flane height. Gow n fires in dense conifer forests nEy
dictate safety zones w ith a radius of 400 to 800 feet or nore. Slope steepness and specifii forest
conditions adjacent to the safety zone w ill need to be evaluated for a specific size
reconrrBndation.
Large parking lots and neadows are often the best sites for designated conm.rnity safety zones. ltshould be noted that the presence of vehicles or vegetation mtst be assessed in terns of
conpronising the safety zone. The designation of an on-site safety zone shou6 be considered in
the event that evacuation north on County Road 117 becones conpronised. As nentioned,
alternatMe safety zones rmy exist approxinntely 3 niles to the w est on FSR gOO.
5.3 DnrsNsrBLE SpAcE
Sructure ignition ray occur as a resuh of radiant heat exposure, direct flane inpingerrpnt, orfirebrands. Two leading factors in the ignition of structures are wood shingles or shakes and a
lack of defensible space. A study of the Painted Cave fire (in Santa Barbara County, California)
deternined that hones having defensible space w ithout w ood shake roofs had a g0o/o survivai i

rate. Research by Jack Cohen indicates that defensible space of 40 rrters is adequate to prevent
lgnition of w ood siding f rom even very intense radiant heat (Cohen 2000).
These defensible space guidelines are taken directly fromthe Golorado Sate Forest Service bulletin
6.302 (CSFS 1999). Defensible space is divkjed into three ryEnagerrent zones (see Figure 5.1
below).
Zone I (15 feet fromstructure): \Mhin 3 to 5 feet of the structure use only decorative rock or
nDwed, irrigated grass. Well spaced and pruned "f irew ise' plants are acceptable if the structure
has nonconbustible siding. ln the renainder of Zone 1, trees should be pruned to 10 feet above the
ground (not to exceed 1/3 the tree height). Dead wood, tallgrass, and ladder fuels (low linbs,
srall trees, and shrubs that nay carry fire into tree crow ns) should be remved f rom this area.
Zone 2 (75to 200 feet from structure or to the property line): The size of this zone is dependant
upon slope (Figure 2 in Flgure 5.1 below ). Treatrnant of ground fuels and ladder f uels is generally
the sarne as Zone 1. Trees (or srmllgroups of trees) and shrubs shouH be thinned to provide 10
feet of clearance between crow ns.

For this zone, lreconrrend a target treatnent of 70 to 90 square feet per acre basal area or 15 feet
between crow ns of indivklual trees or srmll groups of trees. Establishnent and naintenance of
Zone 3 around neighborhoods A, E F, q and lshould be given priority and include the reduction of
surface fuels such as deadfalland areas of concentrated shrubs and conifer regeneration.
5.4 SrnucruRE Ar\rD SrrB CrrenecrERlsrrcs
Site logation: Building sites should avoid terrain traps that are associated w ith extrene fire
behavior, such as steep slopes, narrow ridges or saddles, and narrow canyons. On steeper
slopes potentialfire behavior can be reduced through fueltreatnents. ln forested areas
construction should generally be avoided on slopes of npre than 30% and preferably avoid slopes
steeper than20o/o.
Veoetatbn: As during construction npst of the vegetation w ihin at least 20' of structures w ill likely

a. Sheath w ilh non-conbustible rmterials, or
b. Conbustible naterials underhin w ith 5i8' Type X gypboard or equal, or
c. Mnimrm4x6 rafters with 2x T&G decking
ftterior Walls: Sone, stucco, and tinber construction are rore resistant to radiant heat than wood
panels or boards. A non-conbustible siding conbined w ith gypsum sheathing can achieve a one-
hour rating or better. This should be considered for w alls adjacent to fuels w ith higher potential fire
intensity ratings (such as oakbrush stands).
Wndows and Glass: The double-glazed windows conrronly used today may withstand high
radiant heat for ten ninutes or so. Exterior shutters can offer sone additional protection if they are
deployed. Tenpered glass should be conskJered on the dow nhill side of hones exposed to a slope
w ith higher potential fire intensity ratings (such as oakbrush stands).
Decks: Conventionalopen-bottoned decks are easily ignited and should be discouraged. l,lo
conbustible storage or vegetation should be pernitted under or w ithin 15 feet of such decks. One
w ay to ach'leve this is w ith a ground level patio below the deck. h higher hazard areas, non-
conbustible or heavy tinber naterials night be considered. A f ully enclosed dec( built on top of a
low er story for exanple, can reduce the probability of lgnition f rom below (Slack 2000).

A fuel break is an accessible strip of land w here fuels have been nndif ied to reduce potential fire
behavior. They willtypically require regular nuintenance and defense by suppressbn resources
during a w ildfire. under severe conditions, even the best defended fuel break nay be ineffective in
containing a fire. Roads, cat-tracks, and sone ski runs provide idealopportunities to create fuel
breaks for the conmtnity- futentialdrawbacK to thinning treatnBnt include a surge in
undergrow th, increased w ind and heat on the f orest f loor, and the potential for w indthrow, any of
w hich can increase fire behavior. Roper inplenentation and naintenance of the fuel break can
reduce these pitfalls. Wildland fuels nay be reduced on both sides of the road sinilar to defensible
space Zone2 or 3 (Dennis 1983):
. Total w idth of fuel break should be 200 to 300 feet (based on doninant fuels in area).. &duce surface fuelload to approxinately 5 tons per acre.. Reduce surface fuel bed height to 2 feet or lower.. Brploy rnechanically based logging to reduce basalarea to 60 to 90 square feet /acre.. On renaining trees, raise canopy base height to 5 to 12 feet high.. Oeate 1 0 to 15 f eet of clearance betw een crow ns of trees or snall tree groups

h the conifer forests of this area, thinning mrst be enployed thoughtfully to avoid unnecessary
w indthrow. \Mren placed in conjunction w ith a road, a phased approach rmy allow the fuel break
to w ind-harden. When the road is put in, reduce surface fuels and trim branches to prescribed
levels. Three to five years after the road placenent, begin thinning to the targeted basal area w hile
reducing no rnre than 2OYo of the basal area during any three to five year period (l-hrrington
2005). These fuel breaks w ill also require rmintenance, especially in cases w here vlgorous
undergrowth npy be released by the increased sunlight.

Construction of fuel breala shouH be considered in the oak brush along forest road 300, adjacent
to neighborhood D. This use of trails and roads as a core for shaded fuel breaks on the periphery
of neighborhoods A, q H, and lshould also be conskJered.
5. CONCLUSION
The Sunlight tVbuntain Resort base area nEy be expanded and developed in a rranner that provitles
for a reasonable degree of safety for property, the we[ being of residence, and the lives of
f irefighters. \Nhile the risk of w iHfire can not be elininated, sound planning and devebpnent from
the individual honp to conrrunity level can substantially nitigate w ildfire hazards. The
inplenentation and rnaintenance of the aforenentioned reconrrendations, along w ith continued
consultation w ith fire off icials and subject natter experts w ill be necessary to ensure successful
and safe conmrnity developnent.
