RECITALS
A. The State Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (referred to herein as
"GOCO" or the "Board") is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, created by Article
XXVII of the Colorado Constitution, adopted at the November 1992 General Election, which
article appropriates a portion of the net proceeds of the Colorado Lottery to the Board and directs
the Board to invest those proceeds in the State's parks, wildlife, open space and recreational
resources.
B. In 1994, the Board created a statewide grant program, pursuant to which eligible
entities could apply for grants for local government parks and outdoor recreation projects to
which Grantee responded with a detailed application (the "Project Application").
C. Grantee submitted a Project Application to the Board which contemplates the
execution of the project entitled and described above (the "Project"), a copy of which Project
Application is incorporated by reference and attached as Appendix A.

make the Project impracticable;

8. Conditions for Disbursement of Funds. Except as provided in Paragraph 9, below, the
Grant funds hereunder are subject to the following requirements and conditions:
a. The Grant funds shall only be used for the acquisition of fixed assets, including
land acquisition, construction of new facilities, and enlargement or renovation of existing
facilities. Funding may not be used to pay for maintenance costs, design costs, administrative
costs (such as salaries associated with administering the Grant, office supplies, telephone, or
travel expenses), non -fixed assets (such as athletic equipment), or any other costs deemed to be
ineligible by the Board. However, up to 50% of the total design, engineering and/or architectural
costs may be used toward the match as described in the Project Application.
b. Disbursement of Grant funds shall be made on the basis of costs actually incurred
by Grantee and supported by written documentation (receipts, bills, etc.). A reduction in total
Project cost or a reduction in Grantee's matching funding may result a proportional reduction in
the grant award in GOCO's sole discretion. GOCO may, in its discretion, depending on the
nature of the Project, require documentation of mechanics lien waivers or waivers of claims to
public project performance bonds as a precondition to any disbursement under this Agreement.
C. Except as otherwise agreed to in advance by GOCO in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, no material modifications have been made to, or material delays in the
Timeline experienced by, the Project.
d. Full and final payment of the Grant funds will be made to Grantee upon
completion of the Project, and submission and approval of the Project Expenditure
Documentation and such other information as is required under this Agreement, including
without limitation, the information required under Paragraphs 6 and 7, above.
e. Grantee shall submit a written request for reimbursement as outlined in the
Project Expenditure Documentation prior to the completion date. Projects are considered
completed when all anticipated land has been acquired, and all facilities, trails or other
improvements included in the Project as approved have been built and are ready for their
intended use. Failure to submit the request for reimbursement within the specified time period
may result in reduction or loss of grant dollars even if there are undisbursed amounts remaining
in the Grant.
9. Waiver. The Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee may in such
person's discretion, waive or agree to modify one or more of the obligations in sections 6, 7 or 8
of the Agreement, or may permit performance of one or more of such obligations subsequent to
disbursement.
10. Payment of Grant. Subject to GOCO's determination in its sole discretion that it has
received and has available sufficient net lottery proceeds to fund the Grant and subject to the
provisions of Section 19 of this Agreement and upon satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in
Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 hereof, the Board shall disburse the funds for the Grant as follows:
Project «Request_Reference_ Number» 4
6/28/2006
$100,000 during the quarter from April to June of 2007.
In determining the sufficiency of net lottery proceeds, GOCO may consider all facts and
circumstances as it deems necessary or desirable in its discretion, including, but not limited to,
adequate reserves, funding requirements and/or commitments for other past, current and future
grants, and past, current and future GOCO operating expenses and budgetary needs.
This reimbursement schedule is a reflection of the scenario chosen by Eagle County for payment

below.
b. Within 60 days of request, Grantee will provide the Board with adequate records
reflecting the operating and maintenance costs of the Project and provide the Board with such
other information concerning the use of the Project by the public and the impact of the Project as

park, pond, picnic shelter, and bathrooms. With the nearest swimming pool being in
Avon, we feel that a eater park in Edwards would greatly benefit the community.
In addition to maintaining; the existing fields and parks at Freedom Park, the Western
Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District (VIrECMRD) has agreed to operate and
maintain the spray park, and has appropriated adequate funds to do so.
We believe that this project will be a tremendous asset to the entire Eagle River Valley
and we strongly encourage you to consider and approve this application.
Sincerely,
FAGLE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Completed Environmental Checklist
1. Species of Concern. Is it likely that plant or wildlife species of concern are present on the
proposed project site?
No. The property on which the proposed spray park is located was granted Planned Unit
Development (PUD) zoning in 2002 and underwent environmental clearance at that time.
The PUD consists primarily of residential, recreational and educational facilities near the
community center of Edwards. The spray park will be located within Freedom Park, an
active recreation parcel within the PUD that has soccer fields, playgrounds, picnic shelters,
bathrooms and a parking lot. The specific site for the spray park is in an already disturbed
corner of an existing gravel parking lot.
• Federally listed threatened or endangered species
N/A - There are no federally listed threatened or endangered species identified.
• Species that are rare or have limited range in Colorado
N/A — There are no rare or limited range species identified.
2. Habitat Value. How important, productive, or pristine is the wildlife habitat in the project area?
There is no wildlife habitat within the project area as it is proposed on the corner of an
existing gravel parking lot within an active recreational area near a community center.
• Existing development or human impacts to the proposed project area
The proposed project area is directly adjacent to a heavily used recreational site within the
mixed use PUD as described above.
• Critical habitat for a particular species, or an area with high value for nesting, feeding or
calving
N/A — There are no critical habitats or areas for high value for nesting, feeding or calving
within the project area.
3. Potential Impacts. In what ways will the project have, or potentially have, an impact on wildlife?
It is not anticipated that the project will have any potential impacts on wildlife as required to
be demonstrated during the local PUD land use approval process.
• Disturbance of sensitive species during rest, feeding, or reproductive cycles
N/A — There are no sensitive species present.
• Loss or reduction of habitat
N/A - There is no habitat to be lost or reduced.
• Intrusion into areas with little existing human impacts
N/A — The current human impacts are high and as such, there will be no additional
intrusion.
4. Mitigation. How will these impacts be addressed?
Although no wildlife impacts were identified during the PUD process, several mitigations
were imposed upon the development consisting primarily of bear -proof trash receptacles
and pet control provisions.
• Alternative design or trail route selection
N/A — No alternatives were deemed necessary for the spray park and this is not a trail
project.
Eagle County Government, Freedom Spray Park
Fall 2006 Great Outdoors Colorado Local Park and Outdoor Recreation Grant Application
• Screening of users from wildlife area, protection of critical habitat, channeling use through less
sensitive areas
The project area is not near a wildlife area or critical habitat and users of the spray park
will enter from the internal street system within the community center.
• Management of users and related activities with signs, fencing, and education programs
N/A — Signs and fencing will be directly associated with the spray park, focused on safety.
5. Benefit. How is the project planned to have a positive impact on wildlife?
By constructing a man-made spray park near an already active recreational area, the
general public will visit this area near the community instead of traveling to other areas of
Eagle County where wildlife would be present.
• Habitat improvement such as restoration of wetlands, river corridor clean-up, or plantings for
cover nesting
N/A — None is deemed necessary.
• Education of users through environmental education programs, opportunities for "watchable
wildlife," and wildlife impact monitoring
N/A — None is being considered as this is not near any wildlife habitat.

Response to Selection Criteria Questions
I. Characteristics
Eagle County is located in central, mountainous Colorado and is the home of two world class ski resorts,
Vail and Beaver Creek. Many of Eagle County's residents live here to take advantage of the vast outdoor
recreating that the area has to offer. The local community is accustomed to spending their free time
outdoors year-round. In the winter, tourists visit from all over the world to ski, snowboard, nordic ski and
snowshoe. The summer is very popular for fishing, hunting, cycling, camping, and hiking. Locals are
physically active and family oriented.
With outdoor recreating being a high priority for locals, the Eagle County Government is proposing to
build a Spray Park at Freedom Park. The central location of Freedom Park, its astounding public usage,
and the lack of free water -related activities for the public are driving the need to build a Spray Park in this
location.
Eagle
Eagle County, Colorado
Eagle County includes a number of small, distinct communities and towns including Vail, Eagle, Basalt
and Edwards (see map above) among others. With a total population of 47,990 (census, 2004), over 50%
live in unincorporated Eagle County.
Edwards is the largest community in unincorporated Eagle County with an estimated population of 9,500.
Freedom Park (see Appendix A), the proposed location for the Spray Park, is a county owned parcel (see
Appendix H) and is located in Edwards. With the Town of Eagle only 16 miles west and the Town of
Avon only and 4 miles east, Edwards is an ideal location for a Spray Park. We estimate that people from
all over the County will travel to cool off in the Freedom Spray Park.
Eagle County Government, Freedom Spray Park

i
Freedom Park (see Appendix B), Eagle County's main recreation complex, has been built over the past
three years and currently has three sports fields (2 turf, 1 artificial turf) that are used for soccer and
lacrosse. Eagle County built these fields in 2003 at a cost of $1,600,000. In addition, there are two
baseball/softball fields that were completed in 2004 at a cost of $600,000. A well-received Skate Park,
shade structure, and popular playground opened in 2005. These additions have provided greatly needed
amenities for children ages 8 and up. During the summer, these facilities are occupied from dawn to
dusk. During winter months, despite cold temperatures, it is not uncommon for the Skate Park to be
shoveled free of snow by skate boarders and ridden on a sunny afternoon.
Freedom Park continues to grow. A new family restroom will be complete this year which will eliminate
dependence on portable toilets. This heated restroom facility will have 2 baby changing stations, a
drinking fountain, maintenance closet, and new bike racks. In addition, a new maintenance shed and sand
volleyball court have been constructed. The existing gravel parking lots are going to be paved next
summer. Future development in the immediate vicinity include a high school, recreation center and an
outdoor basketball court.
The Spray Park will be located near the entrance of Freedom Park, adjacent to the new bathrooms and the
shade structure. The Spray Park will be designed and the equipment will be supplied by Waterworks
International. Waterworks International has designed and built several Spray Parks both locally and
nationally (see Appendix Q.
The Spray Park will be compatible with surrounding uses and the spray pad itself will be an
approximately 800 square foot unique and graceful shape that will blend well with the existing landscape
(see Appendix D). A rough finish will be durable and slip resistant when wet. The pad will consist of 21
spray jets. A wide array of jets will be used including jumping jets, pop jets, a hoop spray tunnel, an
umbrella water feature, and a tippy bucket feature (see Appendix E). The above ground water features
will be installed to ensure that this Spray Park is ultimately fun for the children.
The Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District (WECMRD) currently operates and
maintains the existing fields and facilities at Freedom Park. WECMRD and the Eagle County staff have
been working together throughout the design process. After the Park is built, WECMRD has agreed to
operate and maintain the Spray Park in addition to the other facilities at Freedom Park.
An additional perk to placing the Spray Park in this location is that it is near all of the necessary utilities.
The water main and electric line were recently extended to the new bathrooms. The storm sewer system
is located just east of the Spray Park site. Tie-in to these utilities will be much easier now that they are in
the general vicinity of the Spray Park.
Water quality and health concerns were a great concern for the park design. The Eagle County staff has
been working with the Colorado Department of Environmental Health to determine the best solution.
After careful consideration, it was determined that potable water would be used at the park along with a
flow through system. The used water will not be recirculated, but used instead for irrigation.
Additionally, our most valued resource, water consumption, was a concern. In order to mitigate water
consumption, a shut off timer will be installed to keep the park from running indefinitely; additionally,
low flow water features will be installed.

II. Need
There are no Spray Parks or swimming pools located in the community of Edwards, forcing families to
commute outside of their community. A small children's fountain located in the Town of Vail is 13 miles
east of Edwards and is primarily geared for tourists. Swimming pools are located in Eagle (16 miles west
of Edwards), Eagle -Vail (10 miles east Edwards), and Avon (4 miles east Edwards), however, the costs to
swim in the pools range from $4.00 to $15.00 per day. The Freedom Spray Park would be the only
interactive water feature available to the public for free in the Edwards Area.
Freedom Park directly neighbors Miller Ranch, Eagle County's first public-private affordable housing
development. Miller Ranch contains 282 affordable housing units as well as a child care center that was
completed in the summer of 2006. The Spray Park will be an additional benefit for the families of Miller
Ranch as well as the children of the Miller Ranch Day Care facility.
A new Spray Park will provide opportunities for tots and young children to interact with parents in a safe,
enjoyable format. However, usage of the Spray Park will not be limited to children. People of all ages
are expected to use the new facility from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. With summertime
temperatures reaching into the 90's, and a naturally dry climate, a Spray Park will be a welcome addition
to this recreation complex.
It is estimated that thousands of people, including locals and tourists, visit Freedom Park on a weekly
basis. This demand will continue to grow as more amenities are constructed and as the population of
Eagle County swells.
III. Urgency
In 2007, Eagle County is planning on paving the Freedom Park Parking Lot as well as constructing
sidewalks, curb, gutter, and handicap facilities to the recreation fields. To make the best use of Eagle
County funds, the Spray Park will be constructed in conjunction with the Parking Lot improvements.
Having one contractor complete all of the concrete work at once will save the County a considerable
amount of money.
Eagle County is also in need of a free interactive water facility for local families. With the daily fees for
swimming pools ranging from $4.00 to $15.00 per person, it is difficult for many local families to afford
swimming in the summer. With the affordable housing unit, Miller Ranch, only a few hundred yards
from the Spray Park, many children will be able to safely walk to the Spray Park to cool off in the
summer months.
The Spray Park proposal is dependent upon the momentum and support already gained by the public and
two public entities. In addition, support by the current Board of County Commissioners is strong for this
project. However, an upcoming November election will change one of the three members of the Board.
The new Board may choose to allocate available funds for this project in a different manner. If GOCO
funds are not approved this year, the project could be shelved indefinitely or turned down completely.

IV. Multiple Uses and Accessibility
Multiple Uses: A Spray Park is most often used by children and young adults. The park will be adjacent
to soccer and baseball fields. It is anticipated that athletes of all ages will use the Spray Park as a way to
cool down after a soccer or baseball game.
Spray Parks can also become fun for spectators who aren't interested in getting wet. People of all ages
including senior citizens, will be able to enjoy watching the kids play in the water from the sidelines.
Spray Parks are also fun for spectators who aren't interested in getting wet. People of all ages will enjoy
watching the kids play in the water from the sidelines.
Finally, careful attention will be made to the aesthetic quality of the park. The concrete pad will be
designed in a pleasing fashion creating a visually appealing entrance to the Freedom Park recreation
complex.
Accessibility:
This Spray Park will be accessible via a variety of transportation options.
• It is a stop for the County -wide public transportation system (ECO)
• Immediately adjacent to a large parking lot
• Directly on a paved bicycle trail with nearby bike racks
• Wheel chair and skateboard accessible
• Close proximity to Interstate 70
• Within walking distance of a community college, several neighborhoods, stores, and a middle
school
From an accessibility standpoint, the proposed location is unrivaled anywhere in Eagle County (see
Appendix A).
V. Public Process and Plan
Eagle County has considered a Spray Park for Freedom Park since the inception of the recreation master
plan. Originally, a circular Spray Park was envisioned for Freedom Park in Edwards. The Eagle County
Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) was especially interested in building this Spray Park as long as
safety, water usage, and maintenance measures were thoroughly reviewed. The Eagle County
Engineering and Facilities Management Departments collaborated with a Spray Park specialist,
Waterworks International, and WECMRD to design the Spray Park.
Eagle County Commissioner Tom Stone attended a WECMRD meeting on April 19, 2006 to discuss the
project. WECMRD was very excited about the possibility of having a Spray Park onsite and pledged
$20,000 towards the project as well as operating and maintaining the park on a daily basis as part of their
regular maintenance routine (see Appendix F).
Eagle County Government, Freedom Spray Park
Fall 2006 Great Outdoors Colorado Local Park and Outdoor Recreation Grant Application
Eagle County Commissioner Tom Stone and Eagle County Engineering and Facilities Management staff
attended an Edwards Metropolitan District (EMD) Meeting on April 20, 2006 to discuss the project.
EMD showed overwhelming support for the project and donated $20,000 (see Appendix F).
VI. Matching Funds
The Freedom Spray Park proposal is a great example of a cooperative community effort. Three
government agencies have joined together; communication and collaboration have been strong,
encouraging a great outcome.
Eagle County: $60,000
WECMRD: $20,000
Edwards Metro District $20,000
GOCO: $100,000
The total estimated cost of this project is $200,000.
The equipment for the Spray Park includes 21 jets, 4 sump drains and an activation bollard post (see
Appendix E). The cost for all of these parts is $33,945; $16,972.50 of which will be supplied by Eagle
County and $16,972.50 will be matched by GOCO. The aboveground features for the Park will cost
$22,000; $11,000 provided by WECMRD and EMD and $11,000 by GOCO.
A fence will be placed around the perimeter of the Park that faces the parking lot. The fence and its
installation will cost $8,555. Eagle County funds will pay for $4,277.50 and GOCO dollars will pay for
$4,277.50
A shade structure will be provided next to the concrete pad so that family members and friends can sit in
the shade and watch the children play in the jets. The shade structure is estimated to cost $10,000; $5,000
of which will be provided by Eagle County and the other $5,000 being matched by GOCO.
The water and storm sewer utility line extensions and hook-ups are estimated to cost $34,000. WECMRD
and EMD will contribute $15,000, Eagle County will contribute $2,000 and GOCO will contribute
$17,000 for this utility work.
The electrical work needed to run the jets is estimated to cost $20,000. Eagle County funds will pay for
$10,000 and GOCO will pay the other $10,000.
Excavation and the placement of base materials are estimated to cost a total of $15,000. WECMRD and
EMD will fund $5,000, Eagle County will fund $2,500 and GOCO will match by contributing $7,500 for
the site preparation.
The construction of the concrete slab, curb, gutter, sidewalk and installation of the water features is
$56,500. WECMRD and EMD will contribute $9,000, Eagle County will contribute $19,250 and $28,250
GOCO dollars will be used.

VII. Partnerships
Partnerships with Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District (WECMRD) and Edwards
Metropolitan District (EMD) were utilized for design and construction of the Freedom Skate Park. That
project was such a success that Eagle County decided to re-establish these partnerships in a similar
manner. Commissioners and county staff approached the districts to describe the concept and request a
partnership. Based on a preliminary design, the overall idea was well received and both districts agreed to
support the project with $20,000 in contributions. WECMRD has also agreed to operate and maintain the
Spray Park on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, this project does not lend itself to working with the Colorado Youth Corps.
These special districts located near Freedom Park have indicated that they recognize the value of a
community facility that meets unique needs. They have also recognized the need for a more efficient use
of public funds for recreation.
VII. Non -Cash Support
Due to the critical timeline for this project, public funds/hard dollars form the critical balance of the
project.
Fortunately, cost saving measures were considered during the design phase of this project. By carefully
selecting a site for the Spray Park, Eagle County was able to decrease the costs that could have been
incurred for infrastructure design and construction. The proposed location of the park is uniquely located
near an existing sewer line, water line, electric line and storm drain system. With minor modifications,
the Spray Park will efficiently tie into the existing infrastructure.
An article in the Vail Daily on June 29, 2006, (see Appendix G) states that the message was clear for
placing a Spray Park and Freedom Park: Bring on the Water.

At their regular meeting on April 19, the WECMRD Board of Directors approved a
$20,000 contribution to the proposed childrens` spray park at Freedom Park.
The Board of Directors asked me to convey their support for the project as an important
addition to the recreation facilities in Eagle County. As managing agency for the
recreation complex, we have witnessed first hand the tremendous growth In use at
Freedom Park.
The fields, (grass and artificial turf), are used daily from 9am through sunset. The
playground has been a welcome addition for area families and the skate park has
experienced nonstop use on any day when it is not covered by snow. The Freedom
Park complex has quickly become the focal point for recreation in the Eagle River
Valley. The spray park will be a popular and well -attended addition.
In addition to support and funding, the Board of Directors approved an extension of our
maintenance services contract with Eagle County. WECMRD staff will maintain the
spray park, except for warranted or structural repairs, on a daily basis as part of our
regular maintenance routine. Costs for maintenance will be shared equally between
Eagle County and WECMRD per the terms of the maintenance services contract.
Good luck on your application to Great Outdoors Colorado!
Sincerely,
*-�� TZ

Re: Local Government Parks and Outdoor Recreation Grant
Freedom Spray Park Proposal
Dear LOCO Board Members:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Edwards Metropolitan District, I am pleased to
confirm our support for the proposed Spray Park project planned by Eagle County at
Freedom Park.
On April 20, 2006, at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors, a resolution was
passed to approve contributing S20,000 from the Edwards Metropolitan District for this
project. In addition to contributing financially to this project, Edwards Metro District is
verysupportive of the concept of adding an additional family oriented amenity to
Freedom Park. This is another project that has garnered the support of the broader
community and multiple entities such as Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation
District (WECMRD) and Edwards Metro are are "partnering" together to make this
project happen. We would appreciate GOCO becoming an additional funding partner in
this project that will be a significant enhancement to outdoor recreation in Eagle County.
Thank you for your consideration of this project and please don't hesitate to contact us if
you would like any further information.
Sincerely,
Ken Marchetti

Park'sprayground'could
be constructed next year
Parent, kids say `bring
on the water'
By Scott N. Miller
DAn.Y S[AFF WRrI-EX
EDWARDS — This summer, kids
will just have to use the garden hose
for splashy summer fun.
Next surnmer, though, kids in the
middle part of the valley may have a
new addition to the playground at the
Berry Creek park and playground.
It's called a'-sprayground."
Essentially a fountain for kids to
play in, the sprayground at the park in
Edwards is an idea that came from
County Commissioner Tom Stone,
who was captivated by a similar
small water park while visiting Aus-
tralia last year.
From that visit came the idea to
build a squishy play area in Edwards.
The question, as always, is how to
pay for it.
Looking at an early estimated
price tag of about 5120,000, county
officials got pledges of $20,000 each
from the Western Eagle County Met-
ropolitan Recreation District and the
Edwards Metropolitan District. But
the sprayground may need more
money to build.
At a Tuesday work session, Com-
missioners Peter Runyon and Am
Menconi — Stone was absent — sent
the sprayground plan back to the
county Engineering Department for a
little more work, a little more
research and a request to see if they
could get some money from Greater
Outdoors Colorado, a state agency
that provides grants to community
park, recreation and open space
projects.
Steve Russell, director of the
Eagle -based recreation district, which
would manage the park, said he had a
few worries about the sprayground,
including putting it near a playground
that is already getting plenty of use.
"It's a small park, and use is
increasing all the time," Russell said.
"Within one to three years, it will be
overwhelmed."
Menconi said he has the same
worries and wondered if a spray -
ground next to the playground would

being the last ones standing on the spinning ring after their friends all
fell off Wednesday at the playground In Edwards.
What's a `sprayground'? Who's involved?
It's like a fountain that kids can
play in. Some, like the one County
Commissioner Tom Stone saw in
Australia, are simple, with just
water jets and stonework flush
with the ground. The sprayground
in Mobile. Ala., has "rainbow
makers" and other above -ground
structures to get kids wet from
above.
be the best use of money in the area.
"I'm worried we're putting 10
pounds of potatoes in a 5 -pound
bag," he said.
At the park, though, the message
was clear: Bring on the water.
"Water, definitely," said Luke
Randall, 9, who was riding his skate-
board at the park Thursday. Randall's
au pair, Virginia Caetano, 23, said
she'd love to see water at the park,
too.
"I'd use it," she said.
Watching his 3 -year-old son, Cal,
playing at the playground, Steve Hill
thought for a moment when asked if
he'd prefer a bigger playground or a

place to splash.
"I think the water might be bet-
ter," he said. "It would add a little
variety."
Skateboarder Cory Kelley. 13,
also said he'd like to see a spray -
ground at the park. Told he'd proba-
bly have to get off his board to use it,
Kelley had a quick reply.
"Water's not good for skate-
boards," he said.

APPENDIX I
3.5 Environmental Impact Report
In accordance with section 5-240.F.2.a.14 — Planned Unit Development District of the
Eagle County Land Use Regulations, the following inventory of information and analysis
of impacts has been prepared for the subject property.
A. Hydrologic Conditions
Berry Creek/Miller Ranch is a long, narrow parcel that extends in an east -west
direction for nearly two miles along the Eagle River Valley. A portion of the
property abuts the Eagle River and June Creek bisects a small portion of the
property at its eastern end. No other major tributaries impact the property. There
are, however, a number of drainage corridors that flow through the property.
With the construction of Interstate 70, each of these drainage basins has been
"channelized" with varying degrees of culverts under the interstate. These
drainages pass through the property where they enter a second set of culverts
under the UP railroad tracks. Once past the tracks, the drainages flow into the
Eagle River.
A preliminary drainage report and plan for the proposed development of BC/MR
have been prepared by Peak Civil Engineering, Inc. This information is found in
the appendix of this report. This report defines drainage basins the pass through
the property and presents a plan for addressing on-site detention of storm water,
sediment control, and water quality.
The extent of and location of ground water aquifers in and around the property
have not been mapped. However, the dominant aquifer consists of the Eagle
River alluvium that generally runs parallel with the river.
The Howard Ditch runs through the entire property in an east -west direction. This
ditch is located along the north side of the property and carries irrigation water
that has historically been used at Berry Creek, Miller Ranch, and the Sonnenalp
Golf Club.
B. Atmospheric Conditions
Short-term air quality impacts with slight increases in airborne particulate levels
near the proposed Miller Ranch -Bent' Creek development will occur during the
construction phase of this project. Air quality impacts from the development
itself are expected to be insignificant.

i
Existing Air Quality
Currently there is no monitoring of existing air quality in Eagle County. Air
quality problems in the Western Slope Air Quality Region of Colorado are
associated with elevated ambient air concentrations of particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than 10 micrometers (PM 10) during the winter
months. These elevated PM 10 levels are related to seasonal sources such as
wood stoves and fireplaces, and road sanding. They are also related to
atmospheric inversions where dense cold air within mountain valleys becomes
trapped below a warmer layer of air. During these inversions pollutants within
the trapped valley air cannot disperse out of the valley. Inversions can also occur
during the early morning hours at other times of the year, but these usually
breakup shortly after sunrise.
Also, during other times of the year, the Western Slope Region concentrations of
PM 10 and other air pollutants can be affected by controlled and uncontrolled
bums.
Air quality near the proposed development site is also affected by the proximity
Of Interstate -70 (I-70) which runs parallel to the north boundary of the
development. Commercial and non-commercial vehicle traffic on I-70 contribute
both fugitive dust and tailpipe emissions to the local ambient air.
Colorado Air Regulations
Some large construction activities are required to file an Air pollution Emission
Notice (ADEN) for construction sources that would generate fugitive dust
(Colorado Air Quality Control Commission, Regulation Number 3, Part A.11).
Activities that would be exempt from this rule include "disturbance of surface
areas for the purposes of land development, which do not exceed 25 contiguous
acres and which do not exceed six months in duration..." .
Eagle County Air Huai; RPK„la ions
Eagle County regulates wood burning devices and open burning. Under Eagle
County Zoning and Subdivision Regulations only one new technology device per
single family or duplex dwelling unit, or one new technology device per building
containing commercial and industrial use is allowed. A "new technology device"
is one that meets or exceeds the emission standards for certification of Phase II
appliances per the Environmental Protection Agency. In other words, allowable
models of wood burning appliances must be certified by the USEPA to meet or
exceed the emission standards under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart AAA (Standards of
Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters).
Berry CremmiHer Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary Plan 33
In addition, under Eagle County regulations, wood burning devices are not
allowed in multi -family units other than in the common area of a building such as
lobbies and lounges.
Eagle County has been delegated inspection and enforcement authority under the
Colorado Air Quality Regulations. In addition, the county's Land Use
Regulations, Section 4-530.C, regulates emissions to the extent that "...dust or
fumes shall not project beyond the boundary line of the property on which the use
is located...".
Construction Phase Impacts
During the construction phase of Miller Ranch -Berry Creek, sources of air
Pollution will include fugitive dust from vehicle traffic on paved and unpaved
surfaces, earth moving activities, and tailpipe emissions from diesel earthmoving
equipment.
Materials Handlin
Fugitive dust will be generated from rough
fill operations, and material storage and haandlin . excavation, cut -and -
can
result from both the transfer of materials and from wind a osi nhese jo Material
that would typically be susceptible to wind erosion would be dry and
freshly disturbed surfaces. Fugitive dust from materials handling will be
managed to comply with Eagle County regulations. Fugitive dust
emissions from handling and storage of materials such as topsoil will be
controlled by water application and by minimizing the disturbance of
storage piles.
Unpaved Travel Surfaces
PM 10 emissions are generated when a vehicle travels across an unpaved
surface. During the construction phase, the heavily traveled unpaved
surfaces such as on-site access roads, parking lots, and lay -down areas will
be watered as necessary to minimize dust generation. A schedule of
regular watering of these areas will reduce fugitive dust at least 50 percent.
Paved Travel Surfaces
Traffic passing from unpaved surfaces to paved roadways will create both
mud and dirt deposits on the paved surface (referred to as "track out")
which can generate additional road dust emissions. To minimize track out,
periodic washing of the unpaved/paved intersection surfaces can be
implemented.
Berry Creek Miller Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary Plan 34
Diesel Earth Movinp, Equipment Tail i e Emissions
Tailpipe emissions from diesel -fueled earthmoving equipment may result
in a temporary increase of ambient air concentrations of PM 10 and other
Pollutants. Dispersal of these pollutants will be augmented by high
exhaust velocities and temperatures, thus ground level concentrations of
these pollutants near the proposed development site will be minimal.
Development Impacts
Impacts from the Miller Ranch -Berry Creek development will be associated with
a very small increase in population in Eagle County. This will result in
commensurate increases in vehicle traffic, and in residential natural gas and wood
burning appliances. The additional vehicle traffic will result in increases in
fugitive dust and tailpipe emissions.
To mitigate fugitive dust emissions from vehicle traffic, the developments roads
either will be paved or covered with gravel. The main thoroughfare, Miller Ranch
Road, will be a paved surface. Paved roads will be cleaned periodically to reduce
the accumulation of surface materials that would generate fugitive dust.
Tailpipe emissions from the additional vehicles will add PM 10 and other
pollutants to the local ambient air, but the additional impact on local air quality
will be minimal.
All new wood burning appliances associated with the development will comply
with USEPA certification standards and with Eagle County regulations. Since it
can be more economic to install natural gas fired rather than wood burning
appliances, it is expected that few wood -burning appliance will be installed in the
development.
Small boilers or emergency generators may be associated with the proposed
schools and/or recreation site. Depending on the size and operating schedules of
this equipment, it may be necessary to file APENs with the State of Colorado.
Overall, though, this equipment should not significantly impact the local air
quality.
C. Geologic Conditions
Geologic conditions have been evaluated based on the Eagle County "Robinson
Maps - Environmental and Engineering Geologic Map for Land Use." This map
identifies the following classifications for the site:
2D - covers the west end of the site
I A - covers the majority of the site
Berry Creek, 'Miller Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary plan 35
Based on this classification the site is suitable for development.
Additionally, the site is not located in any mapped geologic hazard area (i.e.,
avalanche hazard, rockfall hazard, landslides, debris fans, talus slopes, areas
containing expansive soils and rocks, and area susceptible to ground subsidence)
as per the Robinson Maps. The Eagle County Master Plan lists the site as
requiring basic or general geologic/engineering investigation.
Detailed soils and geologic analyses have been prepared for the subject property
and are included in the appendix of this report. Several reports have been
Prepared over the last few years. Submitted with this application are two reports
that summarize the geologic conditions and hazards affecting the property. 'These
reports were prepared by Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc.
A Preliminary Geologic Site Assessment dated March 14, 2001 is found in the
appendix of this report. This report concluded that there are no geologic
conditions that would make development of the proposed uses infeasible. There
were, however, a number of geologic conditions identified that should be
considered in project planning and design. Foremost among these are the
possibilities of sinkholes and a large circular depression in the western portion of
the Property that could be associated with ev
risk was categorized as low and no greater than that deformations.
The sinkhole
generally pre present in other
parts of Eagle County. Site-specific geotechnic studies will be done to further
evaluate this issue during the design of buildings and facilities. This report
suggested further evaluation of the potential evaporite deformation.
A subsurface Study of Depression Area dated September 28, 2001 is found in the
appendix of this report. The primary purpose of this study was to determine if the
deformation is still active or if it has stopped. This analysis supported the
previous conclusion that the risk of further subsistence in this area is low. Site-
specific geotechnic studies will be done to further evaluate this issue during the
design of buildings and facilities.
D. Biotic/Wildlife Conditions
The Eagle County Master Plan Wildlife Habitat maps provide a general
identification of areas used for habitat and migration corridors. This site is not
identified as General Wildlife Habitat, Mule Deer Habitat, or Elk Habitat. The
Colorado Division of Wildlife has submitted a letter to Eagle County dated
October 11, 2000 containing its comments on the proposed project. The DOW
finds that "the proposal will not significantly impact those species mapped in the
Eagle County Master Plan." The DOW does address concerns related to black
bears. The DOW makes recommendations on how to address black bears with
Berry CreekiMiller Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary Plan 36
respect to encounters with pets and the storage of refuse. The DOW letter is
found it the appendix and Division concerns are addressed in the PUD guide.
This property is located in an area of Low Wildfire Hazard (area "A'). The
Proposed uses will help to minimize the wildfire potential of the site by providing
adequate irrigation, defensible space, and maintenance of the site. A letter from
the Colorado State Forest Service, included in the appendix, states that there is
little threat to property from wildfires.
A final evaluation of the presence of wetlands has been completed. The analysis
finds the presence of wetlands only in the open space parcels on the east end of
the property, especially along the Eagle River. The Arany Corps of Engineers has
reviewed and approved the findings of this wetlands analysis and delineation.
The final report and Army Corps approval letter are included in the appendix of
this report.
E• Waste, Noise, Odor Conditions
Short-term noise impacts near the proposed Miller Ranch -Bent' Creek
development will occur from the operation of heavy
construction phase of this project_ Slight noise impacts will occur from both
increased vehicle traffic and outdoor activities that will be associated with the
development, but these will not be significant relative to existing ambient noise.
Existing Noise Background
Noise standards and sound measurement equipment have been designed to
account for the sensitivity of human hearing to different frequencies. This is
accomplished by applying "A -Weighted" correction factors. This correction de-
emphasizes the very low and very high frequencies of sound in a manner similar
to the response of the human ear. The primary assumption is that the A -Weighted
decibel (dBA) is a good correlation to a human's subjective reaction to noise.
In general, a residential area at night is 40 dBA; a residential area during the day
is 50 dBA; a typical construction site is 80 dBA; a subway train at 20 feet is 90
dBA; and a jet takeoff at 200 feet is 120 dBA.
The Inverse Square Law of Noise Propagation estimates that noise decreases by
approximately 6 dBA with every doubling of the distance from the source until
the noise reaches existing background levels.
While rural areas typically have average background levels from 40 to 45 dBA,
the average background noise in the vicinity of the Miller Ranch -Berry Creek
development would probably be slightly higher on account of its proximity to
Berry Creek/Miller Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary Plan 37
Interstate 70 (I-70) to the north and to Highway 6 to the south. Typical noise 100
feet from a freeway would be about 70 dBA.
In addition there is some existing noise associated with the local rodeo's public
address system, though the level of impact from this source is unknown.
Eagle Countv Noise Re lations
Eagle County Land Use Regulations, Section 4-520, limit the maximum
permissible noise levels along the property bound
ary. From the recurrent and inherent produced noise is limited to 60 dBA Othough it i0 AM to s a10so M
stipulated that this noise may increase no more than 5 dBA above this level for a
period not to exceed 15 minutes in any one hour. From 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the
limit is 55 dBA.
Construction Phase Noise Impacts
Table l .p-1 presents typical noise levels of construction equipment at a distance
of 50 feet. These values assume the equipment is operating at full power.

Since all the construction equipment can be spread throughout a construction site,
and may not be operating concurrently, the typical noise 50 feet from a
construction site would be approximately 85 dBA. This value and the data
presented above indicate that there will be a temporary increase in ambient noise
that will be limited to the construction phase of the project.
Development Noise Impacts
The noise impacts from the development will be related predominantly to
increased automobile traffic. Table I.p-2 presents typical noise levels for
automobiles at a distance of 50 feet as their speed increases from 30 miles per
hour (mph) to 50 mph.
Berry Creek/Miller Ranch
Sketch/Preliminary Plan 38
These impacts should not cause a significant increase over the existing ambient
noise that is be dominated by traffic noise from I-70 and Highway 6.
Periodic increases in ambient noise may also be related to outdoor activities at the
recreational site such as baseball and soccer games, and to outdoor activities at the
schools.
F. Visual Conditions
Berry Creek/Miller Ranch lies at the bottom of the Eagle River Valley in the
center of the urbanized area of Edwards. As such, no portions of the property are
located on prominent hillsides, ridgelines or other features that would typically
visual quality issues.
The,property is visible from surrounding areas, including the I-70 corridor and the
Edwards Spur Road. Buildings and other improvements made to the property will
be visible from these areas. However, the built environment of Berry
Creek/Miller Ranch will consistent with the developed urban character found on
surrounding properties and throughout the Edwards area.
G. Circulation and Transportation
Refer to section 2.0 of this report for a detailed description of circulation and
transportation issues. Additionally, please also refer the traffic analysis found in
the appendix. The traffic analysis outlines a range of road improvements that will
be necessary to support the proposed development.

H. Summary of Findings and Alternatives to Proposed Action
The evaluation of environmental conditions provided above and the supporting
technical environmental studies that have been completed provide a
comprehensive analysis of environmental conditions relative to Berry
Creek/Miller Ranch. These studies assessed existing environmental conditions
present on the subject property and surrounding area, identified potential impacts
that may occur from the proposed development, and recommended measures that
may be implemented in order to mitigate potential impacts of development on
environmental conditions.
The environmental analysis completed for the Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD
indicate that the proposed development of this land will not result in any adverse
effects that cannot be appropriately mitigated to minimize any potential
environmental impacts. The development plan is consistent with the Eagle
County Master Plan, which identifies this land as appropriate for development.
The proposed development concept for the property has very little in the way of
environmental impact. The overall project concept is to avoid environmentally
sensitive areas and leave these areas of the property as open space. As an
alternative to the proposed action, the Miller Ranch property is currently zoned
Resource and as such could be developed as 35 -acre residential parcels without
the benefit of environmental review. This would impact the environmentally
sensitive areas of the site.
The proposed PUD is successful at achieving the environmental goals of the Eagle
County Master Plan and the Land Use Regulations. This PUD provides the
County significant control over the uses and activities that occur on the property.
This PUD and its review process will ensure that all relevant environmental
conditions are identified and addressed in the planning process.
