Candy wrappers, cigarette packages, soft drink and beer cans, etc., must not be carelessly tossed on lawns, streets, sidewalks, etc., but must be placed in proper receptacles. ENFORCEMENT OF BATTLEMENT MESA STANDARDS A major consideration in selecting tenants for the park is whether the prospective tenant is agreeable to following the standards of the park and whether the tenant recognizes the rules and regulations as being designed to ensure a pleasant, attractive and friendly community in which to have his home. Generally, your neighbors will appreciate your bringing to their attention the violation, unknowingly, of a park rule, rather than reporting such violations to the management. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TENANTS ENDEAVOR TO ASSIST ONE ANOTHER IN COMPLYING WITH THE PARK RULES, AND BRING VIOLATIONS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANAGEMENT ONLY AS A LAST RESORT. Enforcement of the Rules and Regulations to maintain the standards for the advantage of all residents is a major obligation of the management. If an infraction of these Rules and Regulations occurs, a notice of termination may be given. Ignorance of a rule cannot be accepted as an excuse for its violations. The Rules and Regulations are subject to change, and residents will be notified of any changes through the mobile home park management. Tenant hereby acknowledges that he/she has read these Rules and Regulations and thereby agrees to abide by them and any other rules posted by the Manager, as well as all Federal, State and Local laws. It is agreed that violations hereof shall, at the election of the Manager, terminate any tenancy. DATE PARK MANAGER Geological Report Covering General Conditions and Potential Problems.

I r:„rh. ti” .ct1-t April 15, 1980 Ray Baldwin Planning Director, Garfield County 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: Battlement Mesa Planned Unit Development Dear Mr. Baldwin: The Colorado Division of Wildlife is responsible for welare of wildlife in the State of Colorado and as such is opposed to land uses having adverse impacts on wildlife. Our immediate concern relating to the proposed Bat- tlement Mesa PUD is the immediate loss of big game winter range and possible alteration of riparian habitat. The Battlement Mesa PUD lies within critical deer winter range, (see attached ii-ap) and receives consistent use as evidenced by our aerial trend counts. (see attached table) .. In severe winters elk as well as deer depend upon the vegetation found in the meadows and drainages for survival. The area south- west of Monument Gulch is an exceptionally high use wintering area for deer and supports a heavy concentration of these animals during most winters. This area is also designated to support the highest density of people, i.e. nobi.].ehame subdivision. Because of this high density this area will most likely have the greatest impact, directly and indirectly, on the existing deer and elk herds. The obvious impact will be the direct loss of big game winter range and subsequent displacement of deer and elk due to the PUD. Less obvious in the indirect loss of habitat in the area surrounding the entire development due to increased human activities such as hiking, pic- nicking, cross-country skiing, snc mobiling and dirt -biking. Dogs running at large also pose a serious threat to wildlife. If uncontrolled these activities often force deer, elk, and other wildlife into less desirable or marginal habitat resulting in decreased populations. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Harris Sherman, Executive Director • WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Sam Caudill, Chairman Michael Higbee, Vice Chairman • Jay K. Childress, Secretary • Jean K. Tool, Member • Vernon C. Williams, Member Thomas Farley, Member • Roger Clark, Member • Wilbur Redden, Member Ray Baldwin Planning Director, Garfield County April 15, 1980 • Page Two Preserving the integrity of the riparian zone along the Colorado River is a second major concern. Riparian areas account for only 3 percent of Colorado's land area but 90 percent of existing wildlife utilize this area at some time during their life cycle. It is a very important and dynamic ecosystem for many nongame wildlife species including the Bald Eagle. There is presently a Bald Eagle communal roost site located along the river in Section 23, ad- jacent to the proposed development. Upstream 11 miles from Grand Valley is another communal roost site. (see map). Development or alteration of this riparian zone could displace all but a few wildlife species indigenous to this habitat. Since a PUD the size of Battlement Mesa will have an affect on wildlife popu- lations now and in the future, we ask that wildlife concerns be addressed. To lessen the anticipated negative impacts on wildlife we would offer the following suggestions. 1. Designate all drainages as open/green space. Native vegetation should be left to provide wildlife habitat and prevent erosion. 2. Purchase or lease deer/elk winter range to offset winter range lost to the proposed development on an acre for acre basis. Possible areas could be Northeast of Battlement Mesa or Grand Valley. 3. habitat improvement of existing winter range near Battlement Mesa. This could be accomplished by fertilization, chaining, brush beating, etc. 4. Dedication of a conservation easement for the riparian zones north and south of the Colorado River. A non -consumptive use area could be de- veloped with assistance from the Division of Wildlife. 5. Fence construction should not exceed 42 inches in height with no more than one kick wire to allow movement of deer/elk without injury. Wooden fences are preferred. 6. Use of motorcycles, snow,rnbiles, all -terrain vehicles or other off-road vehicles should be restricted to the immediate yard, driveway, estab- lished roads and trails. No trails for motorized vehicles should be constructed in the drainages or riparian zone. No new roads or trails off site into deer/elk winter range should be constructed. Ray Baldwin Planning Director, Garfield County April 15, 1980 Page Three 7. Dogs should not be allowed to run at large. Kennels should be used and a strict leash law enforced. This will be extremely critical in the mobi]home subdivision. We feel that these suggestions can aid in reducing human - wildlife conflicts, and in part compensate for the loss of wildlife habitat and displacement of existing wildlife populations. Because Battlement Mesa will occupy known deer/elk winter range, the presence of these animals is erriminent and any damage resulting from their presence will be disclaimed by the Division of Wildlife . It is our desire to be of assistance to Battlement Mesa where wildlife con- cerns are involved. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to comment on this important Planned Unit Development. If we can be of further assistance please feel free to contact us. cc: B. Baker J. Leslie L. Green F.

PFLAUM JIMMIE D WHITFIELD ROBERT A FERGUSON J HAROLD ROBERTS JACK W STEINMEYER LEANDER L URMY To whom it may concern: Water for the Battlement Mesa Development will be supplied initially from a wellfield with chlorination facilities provided at a booster pump station. This system design and source has been approved by the State Health Depart- ment. There will be enough water available April 1, 1981 for 535 lots. Future wells will be added as necessary to bring the capacity up to 1450 lots. Construction of the final Water Treatment Plant will start about April 1, 1981. This plant is designed with an ultimate capacity of 13 MGD which will serve the entire Development of 7100 dwelling units. The first phase of the plant will be 6.5 MGD. The plant should be on line for operation by Spring of 1982. Sewage treatment will be provided by an Interim Sewage Treatment Plant which will be completed by mid-February 1981. The initial capacity is for 2000 population equivalent (approximately 715 equivalent lots). This system has been approved by the State and the required permits have been obtained. On June 1, 1981 bids will be received for the final Sewage Treatment Plant. Within six months after the start of construction, the final Plant will be able to supplement the Interim Plant to give the system increased capacity. Six months later, when construction of the final Sewage Treatment Plant is completed, it will handle the 7100 units planned for the Development (approxi- mately 20,000 population) plus excess capacity so that it can be used as a Regional Plant to serve a total population of 48,000 people.

Upon motion of Applicant made at the pre-trial conference held herein on May 26, 1980, Case No. 79CW350 and 79CW351 were consolidated for all purposes by order of the Court. A. Change of Conditional Water Right. 11. Applicant has acquired twenty (20) c.f.s. of the water right decreed to the Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline. By decree dated November 10, 1966, the District Court in and for Garfield County, in Civil Action No. 4914, for Former Water District 39, conditionally awarded said Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline priority number 319 in said water district 39 for the following puposes: industrial, mining, retorting, refining, power, domestic, and all other uses necessary and related to the production of shale oil and its by-products. Said priority was conditionally decreed with an appropriation date of January 24, 1955, for 178 c.f.s. of water. The point of diversion as originally decreed is on the Northerly bank of the Colorado River at a point whence the East quarter corner of Section 6, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, of the 6th P.M. bears North 13017' East 753 feet. By decree dated January 27, 1977, in Case No. W-2786, the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5, authorized a change in conditional water right to an alternate point of diversion located "In the Northerly Bank of the Colorado River at a point whence the P.ast quarter corner of Section 6, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, of the 6th P.M. bears North 35°00' East 1880 feet. 12. By this application Battlement Mesa, Inc. seeks the following changes with respect to the subject 20 c.f.s.: (a) A further alternate point of diversion for 20 c.f.s. at a point in the channel of the Colorado River whence the Northwest -2- 79CW350, and 79CW351 Corner of Section 7, Township 7 South, Range 95 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 460 West a distance of 3300 feet. (b) A further alternate point of diversion for said 20 c.f.s. at a point in the main channel of the Colorado River in Section 13, Township 7 South, Range 96 West, of the 6th P.M., as follows: The point of diversion lies within a 100 foot radius whose center bears North 8036' West 861 feet from the Brass Cap Monument corner of the Northeast quarter MMOIng of said marking the Southeast Section 13. The East line of said Northeast 1/4 is assumed to bear North 0000' East. (c) A confirmation by decree of a change of use of a water right whereby the water the subject of this may be used for municipal, domestic, industrial, irrigation, sewage treatment and other beneficial uses conditional application commercial, in connection with the new community to be constructed on lands generally within the Battlement Mesa Planned Unit Development. Said lands are located in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, and 19, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, and Sections 13 and 24, Township 7 South, Range 96 West, of the 6th P.M., County of Garfield. 13. The source of supply for the subject water right is the Colorado River. 14. By terms of the instrument whereby Battlement Mesa, Inc. derives title to the subject 20 c.f.s. of the Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline, Battelment Mesa, Inc.'s interest therein is subordinate in 178 c.f.s. decreed to said structure. ,)riority to the balance of the The effect of this conveyence was to sever into two distinct priorities the Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline. The subject matter of this application is the subordinate, or most junior 20 c.f.s. decreed to said structure. Nothing herein affects the 158 c.f.s. not the subject of this conveyance. 15. The changes in water rights requested are essentially movement of points of diversion realtively short distances downstream, and while additional purposes are sought, the nature of use of the wate right as originally decreed in Civil Action 4914 and as decreed in -3- 79CW350, and 79CW351 Case W-2786 contemplate a level of consumptive use that preclude any notion that any greater draft on the stream will occur by reason of the change, or that returns to the stream, if any, at the points previously decreed would have satisfied intervening headgates of other appropriators, if any. Accordingly, injury to the rights of other appropriators will not be present under the requested changes in water rights. B. Augmentation Plan. 16. In its augmentation plan, Applicant seeks the right to make otherwise out -of -priority diversions in an amount up to 6 c.f.s. at the three alternate points of diversion described in paragraphs 11 and 12 above, hereafter referred to as•the "Intake Facilities", provided that it crakes contemporaneous replacement of depletions from the water so diverted out -of -priority from the following sources of supply: (a) Up to 200 acre feet of water annually from Wildcat Reservoir, as conditionally decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division 5, by decree of May 27, 1971, with appropriation date of September 28, 1968. Applicant has leased said water right, and the entitlement to its use is limited by the term of the lease therefor. (b) Water released from Ruedi Reservoir pursuant to a contract being sought from the United States Water and Pober Service and/or its delegate. Ruedi Reservoir is located in Eagle and Pitkin Counties, Colorado and derives its water supply from the Fryingpan River. conditional decree dated June 20, 1958, in Civil Action No. 4613, the District Court in and for Garfield County awarded said reservoir Priority No. 718, with appropriation date of July 29, 1957. By subsequent order of the District Court in and for Water Division By No: 5 in Case W-789-76 that reservoir's conditional decree has been fixed at 102,369 (c) Water a contract being a.f. released from Green Mountain Reservoir, pursuant to sought from the United States Water and Power Service and/or its delegate. Green Mountain Reservoir is located in Summit County, Colorado, and derives its water supply from the Blue River. -4- 79CW350, and 79CW351 By decree dated October 12, 1955, in Consolidated Cases (Civil) Nos. 2782, 5016, and 5017, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado awarded said reservoir a priority for 154,645 a.f., with a right to refill of 6,316 a.f., with appropriation date of August 1, 1935. (d) Mesa Lakes No.s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, as applied for in Case No. 79CW349, as decreed by District Court in and for Water Division No. 5. Said application awards conditional water rights for storage of a total of 103.7 a.f. of water for the eight lakes. These structures have not yet been constructed. (e) Monument Reservoir No. 3, as conditionally decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5 in Case No. W-2013 by decree dated March 15, 1974, with appropriation date of July 24, 1973. Said decree awarded Monument Reservoir No. 3 a conditional water right for 500 acre feet of water. Said reservoir is entitled to be supplied from Battlement Creek and Monument Gulch. It is also entitled to be supplied from the Huntley Ditch -Monument Reservoir Enlargement, as conditionally decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5 by decree in Case No. W-2012, dated March 15, 1974, with appropriation date of July 24, 1973. The Huntley Ditch - Monument Reservoir Enlargement derives its dupply fromBattlement Creek. This structure has not yet been constructed. (f) Deep Creek Reservoir, as conditionally decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5 in Case No. W-322 by decree dated August 23, 1972, with appropriation date of December 12, 1966. Said decree awards Deep Creek Reservoir a conditional water right for 14,557 a.f. of water, supplied by Deep Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River. This structure has not yet been constructed. (g) Thompson Creek Reservoir, as conditionally decreed by the District Court in and for Garfield County in Civil Action No. 5884, by decree dated November 5, 1971, with appropriation date of December 17, 1966. Said decree awards Thompson Creek Reservoir a conditional water right for 23,893 a.f. of water. This structure has not yet been. constructed. 79CW350, and 79CW351 17. With respect to utilization of water from any of the facilities identified in paragraph 16(d), (e), (f) and (g) and (g) the operation of this plan for augmentation is dependent upon actual construction of said facilities. With respect to utilization of water from any of the facilities identified in paragraph 16(b) and (c), the operation of this plan for augmentation is dependent upon perfection of Applicant's right, by contract or otherwise, to make use of such water. 18. Battlement Mesa, Inc. is engaged in the development of the new community of Battlement Mesa, to be located on the South side of the Colorado River near the Town of Parachute. The lands to be developed for the community include generally those lands within the Battlement Mesa Planned Unit Development approved by the Board of Commissioners of Garfield County. Said lands are located in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, and 19, Township 7 South, Range 95 West, and Sections 13 and 24, Township 7 South, Range 96 West, of the 6th P.M., County of Garfield, State of Colorado. 19. The community will be provided with a centralized water and sewer system. Upon formation of a municipal or quasi -municipal corporation to provide such services, the rights and obligations accruing under this plan may pass to such an entity. Notice of any transfer or assignment shall be afforded to Denver and Parachute. 20. By diversions through the Intake Facilities under the priority Tor the Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline, the water requirements for the community will be satisfied. At such times as the Applicant's water requirements cannot be filled under that priority, Battlement Mesa, Inc. will make out -of -priority diversions up to the amount of 6 c•.f.s. via the Intake Facilities only when and only to the extent that a supply of augmentation water is furnished to the Colorado River in satisfaction of senior priorities. The supply will replace depeletions to the Colorado River occasioned by Battlement Mesa, Inc.' use of water out -of -priority. -6- 79CW350, and 79CW351 21. Depletions resulting from diversions and use of water in the community consist of the water actually consumed in the course of operating the centralized water and sewer system for municipal, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, sewage treatment, and all other beneficial uses occurring under the system. This depletion will be measured as the difference between raw water diversions from the Colorado River via the Intake Facilities and return flows discharged to the Colorado River after community use. Return flows shall include metered discharges of the community's treated wastewater facility, or a facility which by contract provides such treatment and metering of discharges, and irrigation return flows from lawn, gardens, parklands, and golf courses. 22. In calculating required replacements of depletions, under this plan for augmentation the following formula shall be used: D=Q-P-.2(Qm-1-HUm-1) Where: D equals depletion of water to Colorado River on any given day Q equals rate of diversion in acre feet per day at intake facilities P equals discharge in acre feet per day from the wastewater treatment plant HU equals the acre-feet of water delivered to residences, office buildings, schools, and other structures for internal domestic and sanitary purposes, which, for purposes of this plan, is calculated as equalling measured discharge of the waste water treatment plant divided by 0.95. Qm-1 equals the average daily rate of diversion in acre feet per day at the Intake Facilities one month prior to the datefor which the formula is being applied. Imposition of this delay factor is designed to account for the lag time from application of water until its return to the stream. HUm -1 equals the average daily delivery of water, in acre -7- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 79CW350, and 79CW351 feet, of water delivered to residences, offices, buildings, schools, and other structures for internal domestic and sanitary purposes which is calculated in the same way as provided above for HU but for one month prior to the date for which the formula is being applied. 0.20 equals the increment of applied irrigation water which returns to the Colorado River by ground water percolation or tailwater. It represents the application of irrigation water over and above evapo-transpiration. 23. The Plan for Augmentation herrn decreed shall entitle Applicant to no more than instantaneous rate of flow of six c.f.s. at such times as Applicant makes out -of -priority diversions replaced from the sources of supply above identified. 24. Since the operation of the plan depends on a contemporaneous replacement of water to satisfy the actual depletions occasioned by any out -of -priority diversion, the Court finds that the Colorado River will be made whole at every phase of develpment of the community, and that no injury to the water rights of others will be caused by operation of the plan in accordance with this decree, provided, however, that this finding shall not limit the Court in making any subsequent revisions pursuant to paragraphs 28 and 29 below. 25. On any day that a valid call upon Applicant's interest in the Dow Pumping Plant and Pipeline exists on the Colorado River, as determined by the Division Engineer for Water Division No. 5, the Applicant as a condition of this Decree shall cause there to be made available to the Colorado River a full replacement of depletions ,,ssociated with any out -of -priority diversions for the community's ,icipal water system. Applicant shall be entitled to make such out -of -priority diversions only when the sources of augmentation water identified above are released to the Colorado River system in satisfaction of depletions determined in accordance with this plan. 26. Releases of reservoir water for augmentation purposes shall be measured and subject to the appropriate stream carriage charges which the Division Engineer for Water Division No. 5 may be required by law to establish from time to time. The augmentation -8- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 79CW350, and 79CW351 water shall be released at the direction of the Division Engineer for Water Division No. 5 so that such releases can be effected in the most practicable way to fulfill the purposes of this plan. 27. In order to assure that the vested rights of others are protected from injury and to assure proper administration of this decree, Applicant shall, at a minimum, provide the following information to the Division Engineer by a weekly accounting: (i) the daily amount of water diverted at the alternate points of deversion for direct use by Applicant; (ii) a paragraph 22 (iii) daily calculation of depletions above; the daily amount of water in accordance with released from reservoirs to replace depletions. Applicant, upon written request, will provide Objectors with copies thereof, provided that the requesting Objector shall reimburse Appliant for any copying and mailing costs reasonably incurred. 28. In order to assure that the vested rights of others are not injured by implementation of this plan for augmentation, the Court retains jurisdiction in this matter and upon proper petition by a party hereto, the Court will reconsider its approval of the plan for augmentation. In the event the Applicant or any Objector petitions the Court for reconsideration on any of the elements of the plan, the Court shall order appropriate notice to be given to all the parties hereto. Such petition shall be made in good faith, under oath, and shall set forth with particularity the factual basis upon which the requested reconsideration is premised, together with proposed decretal 1 ^guage to effect the petition. The party lodging the petition shall have the burden of going forward to establish the prima facie facts alleged in the petition. If the Court finds those facts to be established, the Applicant shall therupon bear the burden of proof to show (a) that any modification sought by Applicant will avoid injury to other appropriators, or (b) that modification sought by Objectors is not required to avoid injury to other appropriators, or (c) that any term or condition proposed by Applicant in response to the petition doef -9- 79CW350, and 7907351 avoid injury to other appropriators. 29. The Court determines that a period of three years operating experience under the plan will suffice to determine whether injury is in fact precluded or needs to be further remedied. The three-year period of retained jurisdiction shall begin to run on the date of the first utilization by Applicant of replacement waters to augment the stream for depletions caused by otherwise out -of -priority diversions. Written notice of the commencement of the three-year timely be provided by Applicant to the Court and the Objectors. no petition for reconsideration is filed within three years from the date of such notice, the retention of jurisdiction for this purpose shall automatically expire. 29. This decree shall not be construed period shall If to allow reuse, recycling, or successive use of water diverted under the priority for the 20 c.f.s. of the pow Pumping Plant and Pipeline, which is the subject of Case 79CW350 for the purposes allowed herein. The Referee does therefore conclude that the above entitled application for change of water right (79CW350), and application for approval of plan for augmentation (79CW351), should be and hereby are approved, and the Intake Facilities may be operated in accordance with this Decree, without curtailment for the benefit of more senior priorities, so long as this plan for augmentation is being operated in accordance with this decree. It is accordingly ORDERED that this ruling shall be filed with the Water Clerk and shall become effective upon such filing, subject to Judicial review pursuant to Section 37-92-304 C.R.S. 1973. It is further ORDERED that a copy of this ruling shall be filed with the appropriate Division Engineer and the State Engineer. -10- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 79CW350, and 79CW351 Done at the City of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, this .3/3t day of / =zerA-re .,e , 1914").

This system design and source has been approved by the State Health Depart- ment. There will be enough water available April 1, 1981 for 535 lots. Future wells will be added as necessary to bring the capacity up to 1450 lots. Construction of the final Water Treatment Plant will start about April 1, 1981. This plant is designed with an ultimate capacity of 13 MGD which will serve the entire Development of 7100 dwelling units. The first phase of the plant will be 6.5 MGD. The plant should be on line for operation by Spring of 1982. Sewage treatment will be provided by an Interim Sewage Treatment Plant which will be completed by mid-February 1981. The initial capacity is for 2000 population equivalent (approximately 715 equivalent lots). This system has been approved by the State and the required permits have been obtained. On June 1, 1981 bids will be received for the final Sewage Treatment Plant. Within six months after the start of construction, the final Plant will be able to supplement the Interim Plant to give the system increased capacity. Six months later, when construction of the final Sewage Treatment Plant is completed, it will handle the 7100 units planned for the Development (approxi- mately 20,000 population) plus excess capacity so that it can be used as a Regional Plant to serve a total population of 48,000 people.

Prepared by Gingery Associates, Inc. 1310 Ute Avenue Grand Junction, CO. 81501 BATTLEMENT MESA DEVELOPMENT DRAINAGE STUDY Introduction The Battlement Mesa Development project area is located southeast of Parachute, Colorado on a plateau situated easterly of the Colo- rado River. This study is prepared to identify possible drainage problems along proposed Stone Quarry Road and Tamarisk Trail and for the proposed development in the area. These areas are identi- fied on Sheet #1. The Battlement Mesa study area is skirted by the Colorado River on the west, Battlement Creek on the east and Dry Gulch on the south. Monument Gulch flows through the area near the south end. The entire site is drained by numerous small, indefinite drainage - ways across the majority of the plateau area. Gingery Assoiciates, Inc. completed the Battlement Mesa Storm Drainage Analysis study in March, 1975 (Reference 1). Where applicable, the information generated during that study has been used in this report. 1 ILI. Drainage Crossing Stone Quarry Road and Tamarisk Trail 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Current drainage planning associated with Stone Quarry Road and Tamarisk Trail calls for the preliminary design of culverts needed to pass through the 100 -year frequency flood flows gener- ated under the developed watershed conditions. These discharges were developed in an earlier study cited in Reference 1. ,Several reservoirs proposed as a part of the drainage plan in the original study are not included here. to elimination of reservoirs discharges.

The sizes have been estimated for passing the 100 -year flood with a ratio of the headwater depth to culvert size of 1.0 to 1.5. �I. Drainage Design for Platted Areas 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 The preliminary drainage design of the platted area is also covered in this study. The general location of this area is shown on Sheet 1. The necessary drainage features related to this area is also given on Sheet 1. In general, the drainage criteria used in the Regional Council of Governments' "Urban Drainage and Flood Control Manual for Denver, Colorado" (Reference 2) were followed with such modifi- cations as were deemed necessary and appropriate. Since this study area is small, the Rational Formula was used to calculate all flows. Intensity -duration -frequency curves, as shown in the Appendix (Figure 1) were used from Reference 1. "C" factors used range from 0.40 to 0.50 depending on the proposed land use in each sub -basin. The "C" factors for sub -basins with multiple land uses were adjusted according to the percent of each type as follows: Land Use Open Space Mobile Home Park Pavement "C" Factor 0.20 0.45 to 0.5 0.80 The runoff capacity for the streets is based upon the curve given in Figure 2 marked as "4 -inches curb -local street"., To check against streets based street" given is calculated flow velocity. the 100 -year flood flow carrying capacity of the upon the FHA criteria, the curve for "local in Figure 3 is used.

Quarry Road and Tamarisk The drainageways under Stone Trail and Quarry Road and Tamarisk Trail are designed to pass the 100 -year flood flows that will be generated from the developed watershed.. The Mobile Home Park is designed to conveniently drain the area for the 5 -year flood flows. It is expected that during final design, modifications of many of these proposed facilities will be necessary due to the final layouts being established at that time. However, the general plan presented here will be followed. A. L. Robinson P. E. #6827 Cheif Engineer References 1.

A. DANIELSON State Engineer Re: Monument Creek Village Sections 2 & 2; Battlement Creek Village Section 1; and Tamarisk Subdivision No. 2 In accordance with your request, we have reviewed the preliminary plans for the above referenced subdivisions. We have also reviewed the proposed decree for a plan for augmentation (Case No. 79CW350 and 79CW351). Although the decree is yet to be signed, it appears that it will be finalized within the next month. This office has several concerns which the county may choose to consider in reviewing this and future subdivisions falling under this plan for augmentation. These concerns are as follows: 1. The equation for determing depletions (as a function of the difference between diversion and wastewater treatment plant discharges) will in effect allow infiltration to the sewage collection system to be considered as a credit. If infiltration is significant, this situation could cause injury to other water users and could result in a challenge to the decree. This decree does allow for a three year period of sustained juris- diction by the Court. 2. Water rights committed to augmentation when the water right is out of priority include 200 acre-feet (leased) from Wildcat Reservoir. This appears to be sufficient to meet the depletion caused by consumptive use in the above referenced subdivisions. Concern arises from the fact that the Wildcat Reservoir water is leased and limited by the terms of the lease. This concern has three elements: The lease can expire requiring renegotiation, 0 _f -1)1V7? ---7 MAR 9 1981 _J ,1 GARFIELD CO. NLANPiER • • Pay Baldwin March 6, 1981 Page 2 there appears to be no mechanism to assure smooth transfer to the residents of the community, and there exists no muni- cipality or special district to represent the community in future negetiations, and maintain legal responsibility. 3. All other sources of augmentation water are based on contracts being sought or reservoirs not yet constructed. The status of contracts or construction should be ascertained prior to future subdivision. 4. These proposals are for a total of 848 lots. Current proposed facilities for water and sewer have a capacity of 535 lots and 715 lots respectively. Detailed plans for expansion should be required so that water and sewer facilities will become avail- able as new filings are approved. It appears that the proposed plan for augmentation will be adequate if all the conditions and provisions are met. However, due to the number of uncertainties present in the plan at this time, we could not recommend approval which would lead to the sale of lots to individuals. We would also like to review the details of the water leases prior to giving a final recommendation. We regret that we will not be able to attend the County Work Session on March 19. We would be most happy to review additional material and to provide comments as the planning progresses. Very truly yours, k ,I,,,,,, Hal D. Simpson, P.E.
