Please be advised that any further development other than the proposed duplex will require that fire protection water supply as well as other related requirements will need to be addressed. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 945-2575. Jack Jones Asst. Chief, Glenwood Springs Dept.

Box l9O8 lOO5 Gooper Ave. G.lenwoctd Springs, co 81602 August 4, 1994 Mr. Yancy Nichol High Country Engineering, lnc. 923 Cooper Ave. Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: Sunlight lnn Dear Yancy: At your request, we have reviewed the wastewater flows for the Sunlight area wastewatertreatment facilities. A totalizing flow meter was installed on the 3 inch parshall flume atthe headworks of the wastewater treatment facilities May g, 1g94. The inflow monitoringsystem is a Stevens chart with a sonci recorder and was set up and calibrated in May1994' Previous flow records were limited to the staff gauge readings of the 3 inch parshallflume orl an intermittent basis by the operator inspecting the headworks facilities. Directlymeasured peak flow diversions for the Sunlight wastewater treatment facilities are notavailable. To estimate the flows into the wastewater plant, wb have tabulated the water meterreadings for ski sunlight, the sunlight lnn, and tlre Brettetburg condominiums as shown inTable 1' The peak water diversions for the sunlight, et al. facilities occur in March duringspring break ski activities. lt is likely that g0-957o of the water diverted during this periodends up at the wastewater treatment plant. lt is untikely that any outside irrigation occursduring this period. Based on the water diversion numbers, we estimate that the peak monthly flow rate thatappears at the sunlight wastewater facility is 602,ooo gallons per month 'or 650/o of therated capacity for the sunlight wastewater treatment facilities. The Colorado Departmentof Health permit number cooo38598 states that the sunlight wastewater facility has thehy-draulic capacity to treat 30,ooo gallons per day ano an organic capacity of 62pounds ofBOD per day. Colorado law requires that wastewater treatrnent facilities reaching go% of design capacitybegin initial engineering anrl financial planning for the expansion of the domesticwastewater treatment works. whenever gSYo of the design capacity forthe system ismet, the permitee shall commence construction of the necessary treatment expansions.Therefore, it is our opinion that there is availabte for future development approximately15Yo of the rated capacity, or approxinrately 45oo gallorrs per day with a BoD loading of9'3 pounds per day. lf we assume that future development will be typical residential typesewage, and that a typical residence or EOR will generate approximately 2go galons of sewage per day, there is approximately 16 EOR available for development within the Sunlight wastewater treatment facilities without causing the plant to begin engineering and financial planning at the 8O% capacity level. For comparative uses, we have included an EOB rating table of various other uses that are compared to the typical single family residence. ln other words, the various combinations of uses shown in the table may be applied to the standard EOR as long as the total number of EQRs do not exceed the 16 identified as excess capacity associated with the Sunlight wastewater treatment f acilities. It is unclear from the discussions we have had with the various entities at Sunlight who is the owner of the excess capacity of the wastewater system. The original site application contemplated the capacity to treat 50,0OO gpd. I do not believe that the original approval was vacated. lt may be possible to upgrade the existing facilities from 30,000 gpd to 50,000 gpd. However, the discharge limitations are severe' lf you have any questions, please call our Glenwood Springs office at 945-5700. Very truly yours, Zancanella and Associates, lnc.
