The following paragraphs are excerpts of the State Highway
Access Code. These are provided for your convenience but
do not alleviate compliance with all sections of the Access
Code. A copy of the State Highway Access Code is
available from your local issuing authority (local government)
or the Colorado Department of Transportation (Department).
When this permit was issued, the issuing authority made its
decision based in part on information submitted by the
applicant, on the access category which is assigned to the
highway, what alternative access to other public roads and
streets is available, and safety and design standards.
Changes in use or design not approved by the permit or the
issuing authority may cause the revocation or suspension of
the permit.
APPEALS
1. Should the permittee or applicant object to the denial of
a permit application by the Department or object to any of
the terms or conditions of a permit placed there by the
Department, the applicant and permittee (appellant) have a
right to appeal the decision to the [Transportation]
Commission [of Colorado]. To appeal a decision, submit a
request for administrative hearing to the Transportation
Commission of Colorado within 60 days of transmittal of
notice of denial or transmittal of the permit for signature.
Submit the request to the Transportation Commission of
Colorado, 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Denver, Colorado
80222-3400. The request shall include reasons for the
appeal and may include changes, revisions, or conditions
that would be acceptable to the permittee or applicant.
2. Any appeal by the applicant or permittee of action by a
local issuing authority shall be filed with the local authority
and be consistent with the appeal procedures of the local
authority.
3. In submitting the request for administrative hearing, the
appellant has the option of including within the appeal a
request for a review by the Department's internal
administrative review committee pursuant to [Code]
subsection 2.10. When such committee review is requested,
processing of the appeal for formal administrative hearing,
2.9(5) and (6), shall be suspended until the appellant notifies
the Commission to proceed with the administrative hearing,
or the appellant submits a request to the Commission or the
administrative law judge to withdraw the appeal. The two
administrative processes, the internal administrative review
committee, and the administrative hearing, may not run
concurrently.
4. Regardless of any communications, meetings,
administrative reviews or negotiations with the Department
or the internal administrative review Committee regarding
revisions or objections to the permit or a denial, if the
permittee or applicant wishes to appeal the Department's
decision to the Commission for a hearing, the appeal must
be brought to the Commission within 60 days of transmittal
of notice of denial or transmittal of the permit.
PERMIT EXPIRATION
1. A permit shall be considered expired if the access is not
under construction within one year of the permit issue date
or before the expiration of any authorized extension. When
the permittee is unable to commence construction within one
year after the permit issue date, the permittee may request a
one year extension from the issuing authority. No more than
two one-year extensions may be granted under any
circumstances. If the access is not under construction within
three years from date of issue the permit will be considered
expired. Any request for an extension must be in writing and
submitted to the issuing authority before the permit expires.
The request should state the reasons why the extension is
necessary, when construction is anticipated, and include a
copy of page 1 (face of permit) of the access permit.
Extension approvals shall be in writing. The local issuing
authority shall obtain the concurrence of the Department
prior to the approval of an extension, and shall notify the
Department of all denied extensions within ten days. Any
person wishing to reestablish an access permit that has
expired may begin again with the application procedures. An
approved Notice to Proceed, automatically renews the
access permit for the period of the Notice to Proceed.
CONSTRUCTION
1. Construction may not begin until a Notice to Proceed is
approved. (Code subsection 2.4]
2. The construction of the access and its appurtenances
as required by the terms and conditions of the permit shall
be completed at the expense of the permittee except as
provided in subsection 2.14. All materials used in the
construction of the access within the highway right-of-way or
on permanent easements, become public property. Any
materials removed from the highway right-of-way will be
disposed of only as directed by the Department. All fencing,
guard rail, traffic control devices and other equipment and
materials removed in the course of access construction shall
be given to the Department unless otherwise instructed by
the permit or the Department inspector.
3. The permittee shall notify the individual or the office
specified on the permit or Notice to Proceed at least two
working days prior to any construction within state highway
right-of-way. Construction of the access shall not proceed
until both the access permit and the Notice to Proceed are
issued. The access shall be completed in an expeditious and
safe manner and shall be finished within 45 days from
initiation of construction within the highway right-of-way. A
construction time extension not to exceed 30 working days
may be requested from the individual or office specified on
the permit.
4. The issuing authority and the Department may inspect
the access during construction and upon completion of the
access to ensure that all terms and conditions of the permit
are met. Inspectors are authorized to enforce the conditions
of the permit during construction and to halt any activities
within state right-of-way that do not comply with the
provisions of the permit, that conflict with concurrent
highway construction or maintenance work, that endanger
State Highway Access Permit
Form 101, Page 3
highway property, natural or cultural resources protected by
law, or the health and safety of workers or the public.
5. Prior to using the access, the permittee is required to
complete the construction according to the terms and conditions
of the permit. Failure by the permittee to abide by all permit
terms and conditions shall be sufficient cause for the
Department or issuing authority to initiate action to suspend or
revoke the permit and close the access. If in the determination
of the Department or issuing authority the failure to comply with
or complete the construction requirements of the permit create
a highway safety hazard, such shall be sufficient cause for the
summary suspension of the permit. If the permittee wishes to
use the access prior to completion, arrangements must be
approved by the issuing authority and Department and included
in the permit. The Department or issuing authority may order a
halt to any unauthorized use of the access pursuant to statutory
and regulatory powers. Reconstruction or improvement of the
access may be required when the permittee has failed to meet
required specifications of design or materials. If any
construction element fails within two years due to improper
construction or material specifications, the permittee shall be
responsible for all repairs. Failure to make such repairs may
result in suspension of the permit and closure of the access.
6. The permittee shall provide construction traffic control
devices at all times during access construction, in conformance
with the M.U.T.C.D. as required by section 42-4-104, C.R.S., as
amended.
7. A utility permit shall be obtained for any utility work within
highway right-of-way. Where necessary to remove, relocate, or
repair a traffic control device or public or private utilities for the
construction of a permitted access, the relocation, removal or
repair shall be accomplished by the permittee without cost to
the Department or issuing authority, and at the direction of the
Department or utility company. Any damage to the state
highway or other public right-of-way beyond that which is
allowed in the permit shall be repaired immediately. The
permittee is responsible for the repair of any utility damaged in
the course of access construction, reconstruction or repair.
8. In the event it becomes necessary to remove any right-of-
way fence, the posts on either side of the access shall be
securely braced with an approved end post before the fence is
cut to prevent any slacking of the remaining fence. All posts
and wire removed are Department property and shall be turned
over to a representative of the Department.
9. The permittee shall ensure that a copy of the permit is
available for review at the construction site at all times. The
permit may require the contractor to notify the individual or
office specified on the permit at any specified phases in
construction to allow the field inspector to inspect various
aspects of construction such as concrete forms, subbase, base
course compaction, and materials specifications. Minor changes
and additions may be ordered by the Department or local
authority field inspector to meet unanticipated site conditions.
10. Each access shall be constructed in a manner that shall not
cause water to enter onto the roadway or shoulder, and shall
not interfere with the existing drainage system on the right-of-
way or any adopted municipal system and drainage plan.
or clearances required for construction of the access. Issuance
of this access permit does not constitute verification of the
above required actions by the Permittee.
By accepting the permit, the permittee stipulates and
agrees to fully protect, save, defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless, to the extent allowed by law, the issuing Authority,
and each of the Authority's directors, officers, employees,
agents and representatives, from and against any and all
claims, costs (including but not limited to all reasonable fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals or expert witnesses and all court or other dispute
resolution costs directly incurred by reason of claims directly
brought against the Authority), losses, damages, pre- or post-
judgment interest, causes of action, suits, or liability of any
nature whatsoever by reason of liability imposed due to
Permittee's failure to obtain, or disregard of, any applicable
federal, state or local environmental permits, approvals,
authorizations, or clearances, or in meeting or complying with
any applicable federal, state or local environmental law,
regulation, condition or requirements in connection with any
activities authorized by this Access Permit.
CHANGES IN ACCESS USE AND PERMIT VIOLATIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the property owner and permittee
to ensure that the use of the access to the property is not in
violation of the Code, permit terms and conditions or the Act.
The terms and conditions of any permit are binding upon all
assigns, successors -in -interest, heirs and occupants. If any
significant changes are made or will be made in the use of the
property which will affect access operation, traffic volume and or
vehicle type, the permittee or property owner shall contact the
local issuing authority or the Department to determine if a new
access permit and modifications to the access are required.
2. When an access is constructed or used in violation of the
Code, section 43-2-147(5)(c), C.R.S., of the Act applies. The
Department or issuing authority may summarily suspend an
access permit and immediately order closure of the access
when its continued use presents an immediate threat to public
health, welfare or safety. Summary suspension shall comply
with article 4 of title 24, C.R.S.
MAINTENANCE
1. The permittee, his or her heirs, successors -in -interest,
assigns, and occupants of the property serviced by the access
shall be responsible for meeting the terms and conditions of the
permit, the repair and maintenance of the access beyond the
edge of the roadway including any cattle guard and gate, and
the removal or clearance of snow or ice upon the access even
though deposited on the access in the course of Department
snow removal operations. Within unincorporated areas the
Department will keep access culverts clean as part of
maintenance of the highway drainage system. However, the
permittee is responsible for the repair and replacement of any
access -related culverts within the right-of-way. Within
incorporated areas, drainage responsibilities for municipalities
are determined by statute and local ordinance. The Department
will maintain the roadway including auxiliary lanes and
shoulders, except in those cases where the access installation
has failed due to improper access construction and/or failure to
follow permit requirements and specifications in which case the
permittee shall be responsible for such repair. Any significant
repairs such as culvert replacement, resurfacing, or changes in
design or specifications, requires authorization from the
Department.

Best management practices for industrial
facility permittees
Industrial facilities can use best management practices during construction of the
facility and when operating the facility. Best management practices are schedules of
activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management
practices to prevent or reduce pollution entering CDOT's storm drain system. BMPs also
include treatment, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or
leaks, waste disposal, or drainage from material storage. BMPs include structural and
nonstructural controls.

drains to waterways untreated.
What is stormwater runoff?
Stormwater runoff occurs when
precipitation from rain or snowmelt
flows over the ground. Impervious
surfaces like roads and sidewalks
prevent stormwater from naturally
soaking into the ground.
Why is stormwater runoff a
problem?
Stormwater can pick up debris,
chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants
and flow into CDOT's storm drain
system or directly into a stream, river,
lake, wetland, or reservoir. Anything
that enters CDOT's storm drain
system is discharged untreated into
the waterways we use for fishing,
swimming, and providing drinking
water.
CDOT has a permit from the Colorado Department
of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) to
discharge stormwater from its storm drain system. The
permit states that only stormwater (and a few other
allowable discharges like landscape irrigation overflow)
can be discharged from CDOT's storm drain system.
Pollutants, such as dirt; fertilizers; pesticides; and oil
and grease, antifreeze; and other automotive fluids are
strictly prohibited from being disposed of in CDOT's
storm drain system.
As part of the permit, CDOT has several different
programs to prevent pollutants from entering the storm
drain system. The programs are:
• Construction sites program
• New development and redevelopment program
• Illicit discharges program
• Industrial facilities program
• Public education and involvement program
• Pollution prevention and good housekeeping
program
• Wet weather monitoring program
9
CDOT has a program to identify and
eliminate any discharge to their storm
drain system that is not composed entirely
of stormwater (unless authorized by
another permit from CDPHE). Allowable
discharges into CDOT's storm drain
system include the following:
■ Landscape irrigation
■ Diverted stream flows
■ Rising ground waters
■ Uncontaminated ground water
infiltration to separate storm sewers
■ Uncontaminated pumped ground water
■ Discharges from potable water sources
■ Foundation drains
■ Air conditioning condensation
■ Irrigation water
■ Springs
■ Water from crawl space pumps
■ Footing drains
■ Lawn watering
■ Individual residential car washing
■ Individual residential swimming pool
and hot tub discharges
■ Individual residential street washing
■ Water -line flushing
■ Flows from riparian habitats and
wetlands
■ Flows from emergency fire fighting
activities
■ Water incidental to street sweeping
(including associated side walks and
medians) and that is not associated
with construction
CDOT's Utility and Access
Permitting Program
The Utilities (www.dot.state.co.us/utilitiesprogram)
and Access Permitting Programs (www.dot.state.co.us/
Accesspermits) are responsible for providing services in the
following areas:
• Utility/Highway Project Coordination—Region
utilities engineers work with other CDOT employees
and utility companies to identify the utilities that are
within highway project boundaries and coordinate
any necessary relocation of these facilities to facilitate
highway construction activities.
• Utility and Special Use Permitting—Utility and
Special Use Permits are issued to entities external to
CDOT to manage the installation of utilities, or the
performance of other types of work, within the state
highway right-of-way.
• Access Permits—Access Permits are required
by any entity when a vehicle access needs to be
constructed, modified, or relocated within the
highway right-of-way.
CDOT does not permit or track indirect connections (e.g.,
overland flow) to its storm drain system.
Industrial Facilities Program
Elements
The goal of the Industrial Facilities Program is to do the
following:
1. Educate those directly discharging into CDOT's storm
drain system
2. Track direct dischargers
3. Detect and remove any illicit discharges
4. Submit an annual report to CDPHE containing the
number of informational brochures distributed, and
a summary by region of the number of Utility and
Special Use Permits and Access Permits issued.
Education
There are instances when a utility company or other
entity doing work in the state highway right-of-way will
require some type of environmental permit or clearance
for that work. CDOT has put together an Environmental
Clearances Information Summary for those applying for
a CDOT Utility and Special Use Permit or Access Permit
to obtain all required clearances. This fact sheet is given
to each permittee and is available at www.dot.state.
co.us/UtilityProgram/Announcements/Announcements.
cfm#enviro and www.dot.state.co.us/AccessPermits/
index.htm.
In addition, CDOT's MS4 permit requires the
development of an additional brochure that promotes
the "proper management of potential pollutants in
stormwater discharges from industrial facilities" and
includes "references to guidance manuals for BMPs
that industries can implement to protect stormwater
quality." This fact sheet was developed in 2007 and
is given to each permittee. This fact sheet is available
at www.dot.state.co.us/environmental/envWaterQual/
Whatcanldo.asp.
Tracking
CDOT tracks all Utility and Special Use and Access
permittees.
Illicit Discharges
Another requirement of the MS4 permit is a program
to detect and remove illicit discharges and improperly

Re: Cattle Creek Metropolitan District
Request for Extension of CDOT Permit No. 313037
To Whom It May Concern:
The Colorado Department of Transportation ("CDOT") issued CDOT Permit No. 313037
(the "Permit"), dated January 22, 2014, to the Cattle Creek Metropolitan District (the "District").
The Permit authorizes the District to construct access improvements located on Highway 082 at
Milepost 6.7 in Garfield County (the "Access Improvements"). The sole owner of property within
the District boundaries continues to work with Garfield County on approval of a PUD/Preliminary
Plan Amendment regarding relocation of the Access lmprovements to be consistent with the
Permit and hopes to obtain such approvals in 2015. Due to these delays, the District has been
unable to construct the Access Improvements to date and anticipates beginning construction of the
Access Improvements in 2015. Therefore, pursuant to the Permit, the District requests a one-year
extension of the Permit expiration date.
Enclosed please find a copy of page 1 of the Permit for your reference. Please contact me
with any questions or concerns. Thank you.
Enclosure
Very tful

Briston Peterson, President
