The county is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled and analyzed in this plan.Wildfire,severe winter weather,drought, landslides,flooding, lightning,severe wind and avalanches are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the county based upon the results of a community risk survey completed by community members and emergency personnel.This plan identifies goals and objectives for reducing risk to these high ranking hazards as well as hazards ranked medium and low.The Hazard Mitigation Plan will be formally adopted by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners and all the governing bodies of each participating jurisdiction.The plan will be updated and revised within a five-year time frame or as required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Formal approval of this plan by FEMA also ensures that participating jurisdictions in Eagle County will remain eligible for federal grant funding under FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance(HMA) program to include the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDMP)and Flood Mitigation Assistance(FMA) program. Participation in the multi-hazard mitigation planning process also allows jurisdictions to earn planning credits for the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS). Background and Scope The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)defines hazard mitigation as"any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event." Many disasters are predictable, and much of the damage caused by these events can be alleviated or even eliminated by implementing cost-effective hazard mitigation measures. Each year in the United States(U.S.),disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide,taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities,organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters.While some communities are less hazard-prone than others,there are no hazard-free communities and all communities face some degree of risk from natural and man-made disasters. As the costs of recovering from natural disasters continue to rise, many communities have sharpened their interest in identifying effective ways to reduce vulnerability to hazards. Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts of those hazards are determined, mitigation goals are set, and appropriate strategies to lessen impacts are determined, prioritized, and implemented. Hazard mitigation plans assist communities in reducing risk from hazards by identifying resources, information,and strategies for risk reduction. In addition to creating safer communities, hazard mitigation can protect infrastructure, limit property damage, reduce public-sector losses,and minimize social and economic disruptions. 5 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A This plan documents the local hazard mitigation planning process, identifies relevant hazards and risks,and outlines the strategies that will be used to decrease vulnerability and increase resilience and sustainability. Information in this plan is intended for use by local officials to help guide mitigation activities and inform decisions on growth and land use policies as they relate to exposure to risks from natural and man-made hazards.The plan was developed using a collaborative effort of county, municipal and fire officials and a cross-section of representatives throughout the community with expertise in a range of subjects related to mitigating the impacts of natural hazards. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.While the act emphasized the need for mitigation plans and more coordinated mitigation planning and implementation efforts,the regulations established the requirements that local hazard mitigation plans must meet in order for a local jurisdiction to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding under the Robert T.Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act. Because Eagle County is subject to many kinds of hazards, access to these programs is vital. Goals and Objectives The goals and objectives of this hazard mitigation plan are to: Goal 1: Protect life, property and the environment by reducing the impact of natural and human-caused hazards in Eagle County. Objectives: A. Enhance assessment of multi-hazard risk to life, property and the environment to identify areas within Eagle County that are at particular risk from catastrophic loss due to wildfires,floods,avalanche and other hazards. B. Develop and implement action plans to reduce potential loss of life, property,critical infrastructure and valued resources while protecting the safety of the public and emergency responders. C. Provide framework for implementation and management of mitigation actions identified by this plan. D. Increase public education and awareness of hazards and risk reduction measures. Goal 2: Minimize economic losses and speed recovery and redevelopment following future disaster events. Objectives: A. Strengthen disaster resiliency of government, business and community members. B. Promote and conduct continuity of operations and continuity of governance planning. C. Reduce financial exposure of county and municipal governments and fire protection districts. Goal 3: Implement the mitigation actions identified in this plan. Objectives: A. Engage collaborative partners,community organizations, businesses and others B. Commit to hazard mitigation principles and integrate mitigation activities into existing and new community plans and policies. C. Comply with federal and state legislation and guidance for local hazard mitigation planning. D. Proactively prepare to minimize secondary hazards associated with expected events. E. Monitor, evaluate, and update the mitigation plan on an annual basis and modify plans as necessary. 6 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Planning Requirements for Funding Eligibility To better protect the nation from disasters,the U.S. Congress passed the Robert 1. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,enacted as the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000(DMA 2000).With this legislation,the federal government placed renewed emphasis on pre-disaster mitigation of potential hazards. Most significant to state and local governments under the DMA 2000 are its amendments to Sections 203 (Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation)and 322 (Mitigation Planning). Section 203 of the DMA 2000 establishes a "National Pre-Disaster Mitigation Fund"to support a program that will "provide technical and financial assistance to state and local governments to assist in the implementation of pre-disaster hazard mitigation measures that are cost-effective and designed to reduce injuries, loss of life,and damage and destruction of property, including damage to critical services and facilities under the jurisdiction of the state or local governments." Section 322 of the DMA 2000 provides a new and revitalized approach to mitigation planning by: • Establishing a requirement and delivering new guidance for state, local and tribal mitigation plans; • Providing for states to receive an increased percentage of HMGP funds(from 15-20%) if,at the time of the declaration of a major disaster,they have in effect an approved State Mitigation Plan that meets the criteria defined in the law; and • Authorizing up to seven percent(7.0%)of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)funds available to a state to be used for development of state, local and tribal mitigation plans. FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans qualify communities for the following federal mitigation grant programs: • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) • Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDMD) • Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)Program Hazard Mitigation Grant Program(HMGP) The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides grants to states,tribes, and local entities to implement long term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration.The purpose of the HMGP is to reduce the loss of life and property due to natural disasters and to enable mitigation measures to be implemented during the immediate recovery from a disaster. Projects must provide a long-term solution to a problem, for example, elevation of a home to reduce the risk of flood damages as opposed to purchasing supplies to fight the flood. In addition, a project's potential savings must be more than the cost of implementing the project. HMGP funds may be used to protect property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage.The amount of funding available for HMGP under a disaster declaration is limited.The program may provide a state or tribe with up to 15 percent(15%)of the total disaster grants awarded by FEMA.The cost-share eligibility requirement for this grant is 75 percent(75%)federa1/25 percent(25%) non-federal. Funding from other federal sources cannot be used for the 25 percent share with one exception. Funding provided to states under the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development can be used to meet the non-federal share requirement. Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program(PDMP) ThePne'DisaoterK4itigatipnPnoArarn (PDM9) ppovidesfundstostates,tribes,ond |oca| entities, indudingpub|ic universities,for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. Grants are awarded on a nationally competitive basis. Like HMGP funding,a PDMP project's potential savings must 7 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT �� �� be more than the cost of implementing the project. In addition,funds may be used to protect either public or private property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage.The cost share eligibility requirements for this grant is 75 percent(75%)federal/25 percent(25%) non-federal. The funding available under this program varies annually but we have seen significant growth in the last three years. FEMA made $90,000,000 available nationally in 2016 and 2017 but increased the amount to$235,200,000 in 2018. Flood Mitigation Assistance(FMA)Grant Program The goal of the FMA grant program is to reduce or eliminate flood insurance claims under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Particular emphasis for this program is placed on mitigating repetitive loss properties. Repetitive loss properties are properties for which two or more NFIP losses of at least$1,000 each have been paid within any 10-year period since 1978.Grant funding is available for three types of grants,including planning, project, and technical assistance. Project grants,which use the majority of the program's total funding, are awarded to states, tribes,and local entities for planning and technical assistance and/or to apply mitigation measures to reduce flood losses to properties insured under the NFIP.The cost share eligibility requirements for this grant is 75 percent(75%) federal/25 percent(25%) non-federal. In 2017 and in 2018, $160 million was allocated for FMA program grants nationwide. Participating Jurisdictions The Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed by a multi-disciplined group representing the County,the jurisdictions which adopted this plan, and other subject matter experts who possess a wide variety of technical expertise and community knowledge. Each jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must document that it has participated in the development of the plan,submitted mitigation projects for inclusion in the plan,and have the plan formally adopted by their governing body. Eagle County residents contributed to plan development by participating in an online risk assessment survey and by providing valuable input to the draft plan. Project management was provided by Eagle County Emergency Management with technical planning assistance from the Colorado Division of Homeland Security& Emergency Management(DHSEM). The collaborative effort used to develop this plan demonstrates the ongoing commitment of Eagle County and its partners to reduce risks to people and property posed by natural and man-made hazards as well as to maintain eligibility for federal funding.The following table lists the Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Planning Participants and Stakeholders: Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Planning Participants County Administration Emergency Management Assessor's Office GIS Sheriff's Office Road and Bridge Community Development Airport Sustainable Communities Eagle River Water and Sanitation District County Paramedic Services Public and Environmental Health 8 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Town of Avon Town of Minturn Town of Basalt Town of Red Cliff Town of Gypsum Town of Vail Eagle Vail Metropolitan District Beaver Creek Metropolitan District Arrowhead Metropolitan District Edwards Metropolitan District Cordillera Metropolitan District Town of Eagle Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District Greater Eagle Fire Protection District Eagle River Fire Protection District Gypsum Fire Protection District Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department Pitkin County Sheriff Garfield County Summit County Brian Routt County Lake County Grand County Colorado Division of Fire Colorado Department of Local Affairs Prevention and Control Colorado Department of Colorado Division of Natural Resources Parks and Wildlife Colorado Division of Homeland Colorado State Forest Service Security and Emergency Management Colorado Water Conservation Board Colorado State Forest Service r-, n f: U.S. Bureau of Land Management U.S.Forest Service National Weather Service 9 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Plan Organization The Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan follows a format consistent with those adopted by FEMA and the State of Colorado.The updated 2018 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan is organized as follows: Introduction to Hazard Mitigation Planning Describes the plan's purpose, participating jurisdictions, hazard mitigation planning requirements,and federal hazard mitigation programs. Planning Process Describes the process used to develop the updated plan, including how it was prepared,who was involved in the process,and how the public was involved. Community Profile Provides a general description of Eagle County and its local jurisdictions and districts, including their location, geography,climate, history, population,economy and government structures. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Identifies and profiles the hazards that could affect Eagle County based on probability and potential magnitude, lists the historical disaster declarations in the county, and describes the potential effects of climate change and impact on mitigation planning. Capability Assessment Assesses county capabilities related to hazard mitigation,including existing policies, plans and programs in the participating jurisdictions that are related to hazard mitigation; provides an inventory of critical facilities and other community assets, and describes how the updated plan will be incorporated into existing planning mechanisms. Mitigation Strategy Identifies status of previous mitigation actions and future prioritized actions and mitigation strategies to mitigate hazards in each participating jurisdiction based on the risk assessment and other data sources. Plan Implementation and Maintenance Provides a formal process for monitoring,evaluating and updating the plan. Appendices 10 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A PLANNING PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY This section describes the hazard mitigation planning process undertaken by Eagle County to update the hazard mitigation plan and create the framework for continuous plan improvement. Eagle County utilized a planning methodology based on best practices and guidance from FEMA and the Colorado Division of Emergency Management. This updated version of the Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan is the third revision of a plan originally prepared as a regional document in cooperation with Pitkin County(2005)and subsequently updated as a plan for Eagle County and its local partners exclusively(2012).This updated plan builds on previous versions, incorporating current hazard research, studies and information. Organizing the Planning Effort The planning process began with the solicitation for participation by the Eagle County Emergency Manager to county,town, special district, state and federal stakeholders to invite them to participate in the planning process. Emergency management colleagues in surrounding counties as well as state and federal partners were informed about the project and invited to participate in the Kickoff Meeting and Mitigation Actions Workshop scheduled on September 12, 2018.The invitation can be found in Appendix H: Supporting Documents. Prior to this meeting,participants were sent an electronic copy of the draft plan,with the ability to review and edit portions of the plan via the use of Google Documents. Participants were also sent several surveys prior to the kickoff meeting to collect data on hazard prioritization, capability assessments,flood insurance,and other data required for plan development. Participants were encouraged to make updates to the draft plan in the Google environment where changes could be tracked in real time and edits could be tied to specific authors to track and verify participation from all participating jurisdictions and stakeholders. Each jurisdiction that chose to participate in the planning process and development of the plan was required to meet minimum plan participation requirements of attending at least one planning meeting. In addition,each jurisdiction committed to participate in the plan update and provided a Letter of Commitment to reflect this. Each jurisdiction's letter can be found in Appendix H: Supporting Documents. The county planning effort began with a kickoff meeting that included remote participation via a Youtube feed on September 12, 2018. During this meeting, Eagle County confirmed participant contact information, clarified roles and responsibilities, shared planning requirements and deadlines, and shared data collected by surveys for hazard prioritization, capability assessments and flood insurance status as well as next steps for the work plan that would guide plan development. Planning Team The planning process began with the solicitation for participation by the Eagle County Emergency Manager to county, town,special district,state and federal stakeholders to invite them to participate in the planning process. Emergency management colleagues in surrounding counties as well as state and Federal partners were informed about the project and invited to participate in the Kickoff Meeting and Mitigation Actions Workshop scheduled on September 12, 2018. The county provided an opportunity for neighboring counties, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, nonprofits and community members to be involved in the planning process. Participants 11 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT �� �� provided data through online surveys and requests for information,including plans, policies, building codes, and other jurisdictional resources that incorporate mitigation planning content. Planning team participants, including their affiliations and contact information,can be found in Appendix A: Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team. The Eagle County Emergency Manager coordinated planning efforts and worked to accomplish the following: • Oversee, manage, and document completion of all project tasks • Serve as lead coordinating agency • Assist with collection of documents,GIS data and other information • Coordinate logistics for all project meetings • Hosting and managing project collaboration and sharing • Responding to general inquiries from the public,stakeholders,etc. • Coordinating with all participating jurisdictions Key representatives at this meeting agreed to act as members of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT). Planning Team members participated in the following activities: • Participate in planning meeting(s) • Submit data, make decisions on plan process and content • Update plan content for their jurisdiction • Complete all required worksheets • Identify mitigation actions for the plan • Review and comment on plan drafts • Inform the public, local officials and other interested parties about the planning process and provide opportunity for them to comment on the plan • Facilitate formal adoption of the Hazard Mitigation Plan in their jurisdiction The planning meeting agenda is included in Appendix H:Supporting Documents and links to the Google surveys and worksheets can be found in Appendix F: Hazard Mitigation Data Collection Surveys. Review of Current Plans,Studies and Reports Eagle County and the participating jurisdictions reviewed and referenced a variety of comprehensive planning documents,such as land use and general plans, emergency operations plans,and municipal ordinances and building codes during the planning process. Many jurisdictions and municipalities have plans in place that address mitigation efforts and the planning team worked to ensure that these efforts were not duplicated. For example, members of the Eagle County Wildfire Council have worked together over the last several years to develop and implement community based forestry and fuel reduction projects;yearly interagency training events; regular public forums;on forest health and FireWise concepts; updates to Eagle County Land Use Regulations; open burning guidelines and protocols,and revisions to the Eagle County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). A list of local plans, ordinances,staffing and programs that were reviewed can be found under the Mitigation Capabilities Section of this plan. 12 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A Public Involvement A community survey was developed to provide Eagle County residents and businesses with the opportunity to provide feedback on hazard mitigation and response. The survey,conducted in English and Spanish,was posted on the Eagle County website and in the local newspaper to solicit participation. A total of 48 people responded to the survey. This was an increase from the 22 participants who completed the 2012 public survey for the previous hazard mitigation plan. Survey questions were drafted not only to get feedback and input regarding public perceptions on hazards within each jurisdiction, but also to help address future public outreach and awareness regarding: • How to protect people and property prior to, during and after an emergency • Signing up for county alerts and how to get information in an emergency • Education on identified hazards in the community and potential mitigation and climate adaptation strategies The community's opinions of the hazards most threatening to their environment were used to identify and prioritize hazards and direct mitigation efforts. Public involvement also helped determine critical infrastructure subject to hazard impact.Sample survey forms and tabulated survey results are attached to the.Plan as Appendix B: Public Risk Assessment Survey. A draft of the plan was also posted to the Eagle County website to comment on the plan prior to it being finalized and approved. Identifying the Hazards and Assessing the Risk The planning effort began with a review and update of all sections of the previous plan. All sections of the plan were analyzed and revised where appropriate and each section was updated to be in compliance with Federal requirements as well as to reflect changes within each participating jurisdiction over the past five years. Updates to this plan were based on research from a wide variety of sources, historical perspectives and future projections of vulnerability and resource capacity. Updates were completed using the most current state and federal guidance, including FEMA's Local Mitigation Planning Handbook(March 2013),to ensure that the plan met federal requirements. The planning team participated in several Google Form surveys to identify and profile hazards that pose a risk to Eagle County. Hazards captured in the previous plan were reviewed as well as hazards which are required to be reviewed by FEMA following their methodology.The planning team then assessed the county's vulnerability to these hazards,if applicable,and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The planning team was able to quickly submit and capture data for analysis as a result of the online survey process and use of Google tools for online collaboration and communication. During the September kickoff meeting,the planning team reviewed the goals from the previous plan and developed revised goals and objectives to guide mitigation planning efforts. The team discussed past events, impacts,and future probability for each hazard in the county's hazard mitigation plan as well as factors(i.e., occurrences, probability of future occurrences, magnitude and severity)that may have changed over time. The survey data collected was used to create hazard profiles for each identified hazard in Eagle County. This data was shared with planning team members to confirm the likely impacts of future hazard events in each of the participating jurisdictions. The vulnerability assessment was updated to include an updated inventory of assets at risk to natural hazards, including the total number and value of structures;critical facilities and infrastructure; natural, historic and 13 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A cultural assets;and economic assets. The capability assessment identified existing mitigation capabilities of participating jurisdictions, including programs, policies, regulations,ordinances,and plans that mitigate or could be used to mitigate risk to disasters. Participating jurisdictions submitted information by Google Form on their regulatory, personnel,fiscal,and technical capabilities as well as ongoing initiatives related to interagency coordination and public outreach. The team then developed and prioritized mitigation strategies and actions, removing completed or low priority projects listed in the 2012 plan for the next 5-year period. Lessons learned from completed projects were discussed among team members. Plan Development,Maintenance and Adoption Based on the results of the risk assessment and data collection surveys, planning team discussions,and the mitigation actions identified,a draft of the plan was prepared and distributed for review and comment in Google Documents.This enabled participants to provide real time feedback during the plan development process. Feedback from participating jurisdictions and stakeholders was integrated into the public draft,which was posted on the county's website to collect final public input before the final draft was produced and shared with the Colorado Division of Homeland Security& Emergency Management and FEMA Region VIII to review and approve contingent upon final adoption by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners and the other participating jurisdictions. 14 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A COMMUNITY PROFILES The following pages contain detailed information about the communities and special districts in Eagle County,their vulnerabilities and risks: Eagle County Community Profile Eagle County McCoy M Sh p *rn Burns Bond Heaney Gypsum Eagle Avon ail 1 i , White River z r National Forest , Mt din or --Basalt x Norrie �' �,`b� rS ���3u vd 5' 'u ,.,� "� iis'+w4w':'..

Communities within the county are popular with second homeowners(48%of the homes in Eagle County are not primary residences)causing a significant portion of the population to be part-time residents. Land use projections and high property values indicate that residential and commercial property trends will continue to include development in the wildland-urban interface.This fact increases risk from hazards such as wildfire, avalanche and rock slides, and places significant demands on emergency planning and response resources. Geography Eagle County,Colorado comprises a land area of 1,701 square miles or 1,088,485 acres with elevations ranging from about 6,000 feet to more than 14,000 feet above sea level. More than 82%of Eagle County's land is public, including National Forests,wilderness areas, U.S. Bureau of Land Management(BLM) properties,and state and local public lands.Within the county,the U.S. Forest Service manages 595,860 acres of the White River National Forest,and the Bureau of Land Management manages 247,751 acres of land.Along the northeast boundary is the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area, in the southeast quadrant is the Holy Cross Wilderness Area, and a small piece of Flat Tops Wilderness Area is in the northwest corner. These wilderness areas all belong to the White River National Forest. There are several State Wildlife and Resource Management Areas and also Sylvan Lake State Park.The Continental Divide runs along a portion of the southern boundary,and the Colorado Trail (a non-motorized use trail)crosses the southeast corner of the county. Eagle County is predominantly situated in the Eagle and Colorado River Valleys with the Town of Basalt and El Jebel area located in the Roaring Fork River Valley.Since Basalt is geographically connected more with Pitkin County(1/3 of the Town of Basalt lies within Pitkin County),it has chosen to align with Pitkin County's plan as opposed to the Eagle County plan. History The Ute Indians claimed Eagle County lands for summer hunting and fishing grounds before Europeans explored the area.The first reliable account of European presence in the Eagle River Valley was in 1840 when Kit Carson guided the Fremont party through the region. Fortune hunters and settlers scoured the state,striking lead carbonate ore in Leadville in 1874.The strike brought many prospectors to the valley,and by 1879,a permanent camp was established and the town of Red Cliff was born. Eagle County was carved from Summit County in 1883,and Red Cliff, named for the surrounding red quartzite cliffs,was the first county seat.The county government moved west to the town of Eagle in 1921.The evolution of Vail from a quiet sheep pasture to an international resort is credited to the famous 10th Mountain Division ski troops who were introduced to the valley while training at Camp Hale in the 1940s. Following World War II, a group of former Army buddies returned to the Gore Creek Valley to fulfill their collective dream...to develop a ski resort.Vail later emerged as a ski giant and the county has flourished ever since. Airport The Eagle County Regional Airport is a public airport located in the Town of Gypsum, Colorado.The airport serves Eagle County and visitors to nearby Aspen,Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts. The History Channel rated Eagle County Regional Airport as#8 on its list of Most Extreme Airports in July 2010 due to the altitude,weather variability,an approach through mountainous terrain and challenging departure procedures.The airport is highly seasonal,and most of its scheduled flights operate during the winter.

Town of Basalt of 401111.111, ri RE I Vatmx Aliariot suailpiari is xsor T=om F 11 1 jEI,J bel U salt Basalt began as a railroad town and was known as Aspen Junction until 1895,when the name was changed to Basalt. This name was taken from the basaltic rock formation of Black Mountain(now known as Basalt Mountain)located to the north of the town.The original settlement was actually called Fryingpan Town and was located on the south side of the Fryingpan River, near the old charcoal kilns; portions of which are still visible. In 1887,the railroad established a new town site on the north side of the Frying-pan River,and the residents of the old town relocated to it, leaving the original town that eventually disappeared. Basalt was officially incorporated during the summer of 1901. Since that time,the town has gone through numerous changes and expansions. Primary residents number approximately 3,857 and the median age of residents in Basalt is 36.6.

On the heels of its success as a resort,Vail has evolved into an appealing recreation-friendly alpine community now comprised of approximately 5,483 full-time residents and an estimated 5,000 part-lime residents. Vail receives more than 370 inches of snow and records almost 300 days of sunshine each year,with temperatures averaging 75 degrees in the summer and 45 degrees in the winter. 24 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A Eagle-Vail Metropolitan District Community Profile The unincorporated area of Eagle-Vail is lin the eastern portion of Eagle County and has an estimated population of 2,887 according to the 2000 census.The area was not returned separately by census enumerators in 2010. Eagle-Vail is located on Interstate 70 between the towns of Avon and Vail,just west of US-24. Eagle-Vail is at an elevation of around 7600 feet. The community was originally platted in the early 1970's.The lands that comprise Eagle-Vail were once agricultural farms and cattle ranches. During 1963,Jack Oleson assembled and purchased various parcels of farm and ranch lands from the original homesteaders in the area and created a cattle ranch where he raised Polled Herefords and grew crops including feed hay for livestock. In 1972, Fred Green of Grouse Mountain Associates purchased the property from Oleson. Shortly thereafter,Green and his partners submitted a request to Eagle County for the Eag|e-VaUP|annedUnitQeve|uprnentvvhichbecammethevery#mtPNDtobecnyatedinEag|eOmunty.

The fire service agencies in Eagle County are prepared to handle a wide range of emergency situations. In preparing to handle the routine emergency situations for which they are tasked,fire service agencies are involved in pre-emergency planning to identify hazard potentials in their areas.As a result of these pre-planning efforts,the fire districts are usually knowledgeable of high risk areas, populations at risk, building layouts,amounts and types of hazardous materials, etc. Eagle River Fire Protection District Community Profile The Eagle River Fire Protection District(ERFPD)covers approximately 186 square miles and proudly serves the following areas and communities:Tennessee Pass, Camp Hale, Red Cliff, Minturn, Eagle-Vail,Avon, Mountain Star, Wildridge, Beaver Creek(by contractual agreement), Bachelor Gulch,Arrowhead, Homestead, Edwards, Lake Creek, Singletree, Pilgrim Downs,Cordillera, Bellyache Ridge, Red Sky Ranch and associated portions of Interstate 70, U.S. Hwy 6& Hwy 24. Organized in 2000 as a regional fire district, ERFPD is a professional,full-service fire service agency with five full-time staffed fire stations(one by contractual agreement)equipped to protect residences, businesses, rural areas, high-rise resort hotels and forested areas throughout the District. ERFPD responds to all risks including acute medical emergencies, hazardous materials releases,technical rescue and extrication incidents,as well as suppression of structural and wildland fires.The District employs 63 full-time firefighters and five administrative staff. Additional assistance is available through mutual aid agreements with Greater Eagle,Vail, and Gypsum fire departments,as well as support from the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management Unit(UCRIFMU)and from adjacent counties. 27 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Gypsum Fire Protection District Community Profile The Gypsum Fire Protection District is a combination agency of paid and volunteer firefighters with a citizens'fire corps that assist in a myriad of functions.There are 8 full-time and 6 part-time paid firefighters along with 30 volunteer firefighters.This department is an all hazard first responder agency.Their call volume continues to grow and outpace revenue or resources needed to implement the desired programs. The boundaries for the district extend roughly from Hanging lake tunnel on Interstate 70(mile marker 125),the Eastern portion of Garfield county,all of the Sweetwater drainage and to 142.5 on Interstate 70, and South for the entire Gypsum Creek drainage north to Burns area. It is an area of approximately 455 square miles. The permanent year round population served by the District is approximately 8000. However, like much of Eagle County,that population figure increases during ski season as well as the summer and fall months due to recreational opportunities, especially on weekends and holidays. Structures in the District are a mix of single family residences/ranches, agriculture,to very large industrial buildings and airport hangers and typical small town communities. Greater Eagle Fire Protection District Community Profile Greater Eagle Fire Protection District was created in 1976. It is a combination department consisting of 18 full-time paid employees;two part-time employees and approximately 30 volunteers.The District provides structure protection; EMS; urban interface and wildland firefighting; ice and river rescue; HazMat response;technical rope rescue; motor vehicle crash response and other services as deemed necessary.The District is also deeply involved in numerous community projects.Communities under the umbrella of Greater Eagle Fire Protection District include Eagle; portions of Gypsum; portions of Wolcott; Fulford; portions of Sylvan Lake State Park;and portions of unincorporated Eagle County, including extensive BLM & U.S. Forest Service land.This is an area of approximately 196 square miles.The response area for Greater Eagle Fire Protection District roughly includes Interstate 70 from mile marker 157 to 142.5; Highway 131 to mile marker 9; South to Eagle County line; North to Routt County line.The District operates out of one station located in Eagle. Responding apparatus include:One structural pumper;one rescue pumper; one tower ladder;one tactical tender;one type-3 engine; 2 type-4 engines;one type-6 engine;and one HazMat trailer(as an operational member of Eagle County HazMat Team). 28 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A HAZARD IDENTIFICATION &RISK ASSESSMENT Eagle County is vulnerable to a wide variety of natural and man-made hazards that threaten life and property. Damage to critical facilities and disruption of vital services caused by natural hazards can have a significant impact on our communities. Furthermore, recent local and national events establish that risks exist from human-caused hazards ranging from accidents to domestic and international terrorism.This section discusses all hazards with potential impact on the county. The planning team considered a comprehensive list of hazards and used risk assessment activities to prioritize certain hazards for mitigation actions on a jurisdictional basis.Some hazards have significant loss potential for the county,and these hazards are identified separately as Prioritized Hazards.Other hazards with less potential impact or with less effective mitigation action possibilities are discussed later in this section and are referred to as 'Other Hazards'. In this plan,the determination of the Prioritized Hazards was made through a multi-step risk assessment process combining statistical modeling with more qualitative assessment activities.These qualitative risk tasks consisted of interviews and surveys of emergency response and planning professionals,surveying county residents and independent historical research, which drew information from many sources.Through this process,certain hazards were determined to pose the greatest threats to the planning area and were prioritized as discussed in this section. Hazard Profiles Although these prioritized hazards affect the entire county, potential impact from each hazard varies by jurisdiction. Risk assessment activities conducted during this project provided the planning team with the information needed to establish risk from each hazard for the jurisdictions covered by this plan.The impact from each hazard on each participating jurisdiction is summarized in the Community Profiles section of this document as well as the vulnerability and risk assessment chart at the end of this section. Wildfire Wildfires are an ongoing concern for Eagle County. Fire conditions arise from a combination of hot weather,an accumulation of vegetation and other fuel,and low moisture content in the air. When combined with high winds and years of drought and beetle killed trees,these conditions increase the potential for a wildfire to occur. A fire along the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)can result in major losses of property and structures. For the purpose of this plan,the WUI is defined as the line, area,or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped lands or vegetative fuel.WUI zones in Eagle County can be a combination of public and privately owned properties,and include lands within town boundaries and intermixed communities in unincorporated areas. Wildfires can start suddenly due to lightning or human causes.Small fires can grow rapidly when adequate fuels coincide with weather and topography favorable to fire.Wildfires can last from several hours to several months. Seasonal patterns,temperature patterns, precipitation patterns, and growth are all factors that influence wildfire behavior and intensity.Another contributing factor to fuel loads in the forest are standing trees killed by pine bark beetles,which have been affecting the forests of southwest Colorado since 2002. Oil and gas drilling activities have also increased the chance of ignitions in the western part of the County. 29 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Wildfire History Eagle County and western Colorado have historically been prone to wildfires, but in the past,wildfires have occurred mostly in remote areas and were of minimal concern. Prior to 1985,several of the largest wildfires in Colorado occurred in Eagle County. In 1975,the Red Dirt fire burned 4,200 acres in Eagle County and was considered the largest Colorado wildfire at the time until surpassed by the Emerald Lake fire in 1980. Forest growth,housing developments, drought, and insect epidemics have contributed to the ever increasing risk of a catastrophic wildfire event. In 2002,the Panorama fire burned 1,590-acres in Garfield and Eagle counties. It spread to 1,500 acres in less than five hours, destroyed three residences and two outbuildings.All the structures were located in an area about a quarter square mile in size,west of Spring Park Reservoir, and about a mile east of where the fire began. 2018 marked one of the worst wildfire seasons in Colorado. Five of the twenty largest fires in Colorado history occurred in 2018 and thirteen of the twenty largest fires in Colorado have occurred since 2010. In 2018, Eagle County experienced three wildfires—the Bocco Fire in June 2018,the Two Elk Fire near Minturn in September 2018 and one of Eagle County's most damaging fires on record in July 2018-the Lake Christine Fire. The Lake Christine fire burned 12,588 acres, destroyed 3 homes and resulted in the evacuation of over 300 residents.Total suppression costs were estimated at$18,035,000 with another$1,000,000 in indirect costs. Private and non-federal public land recovery and mitigation costs are expected to exceed $1,500,000. Since August 1950, 10 wildfire events were reported for Eagle County: Number of County/Zone areas affected: 4 Number of Days with Event: 9 Number of Days with Event and Death: 0 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 0 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 3 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 National Climatic Data Center Wildfire Events Wildfire Locations The risk assessment determined that wildfires pose a significant threat to many areas of Eagle County. Recreational activities in Eagle County place more people in wildland areas as does continued development in the WUI. Part time residents and visitors to these areas are often inadequately educated or prepared for wildfire issues. Eagle County maintains a comprehensive online wildfire risk map that is the guiding document for mitigation actions. The Wildland Fire maps found under Appendix C: Wildfire Hazard Area Profiles illustrates clearly where the WUI communities within Eagle County converge with areas showing a high potential for wildfire. The map combines GIS data related to slope,aspect,elevation,vegetation type/density, and then rates any given area Low, Moderate, High, or Extreme wildfire hazard.This map provides fire managers a starting point for prescriptive fire mitigation efforts, and helps guide subsequent projects in Eagle County. 30 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A Wildfire Risk Jurisdiction Location Maximum Probable Probability of Overall (Jurisdictional Area Extent Future Events Significance Affected) (Magnitude/Strength) Eagle County Significant Severe Highly Likely High Beaver Creek Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High Metropolitan District Eagle Vail Metropolitan Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High District Town of Avon Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High Town of Eagle Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Town of Gypsum Significant Extreme Likely High Town of Minturn Extensive Moderate Occasional Medium Town of Red Cliff Significant Severe Likely High Town of Vail Extensive Extreme Likely High Greater Eagle Fire Extensive Severe Highly Likely High Protection District Eagle River Fire Extensive Severe Highly Likely High Protection District Basalt&Rural Fire Extensive Severe Likely High Protection District Gypsum Fire Protection Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High District 31 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Floods According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency(NOAA),flash floods in the United States are responsible for more deaths than any other thunderstorm phenomena.Year to year in Colorado,only lightning is more deadly. Flash flooding usually is the byproduct of very heavy rains in a short period of time over a small geographic area,all of which combine to cause small streams and otherwise dry drainages to turn violent. Flooding as a natural hazard is a long-recognized problem Eagle County, and the extreme terrain in the area increases the potential for severe flooding.Seasonal flooding occurs during the spring when the mountain snowpack starts its melting process and heavy rainfall sometimes combines with the runoff and causes some rivers and streams to swell out of their banks. Eagle County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).As a condition to participating in the NFIP, each member has committed to restrict the building of structures in the flood-hazard areas delineated by FEMA Flood-Insurance-Rate Map(DFIRM) panels. In Eagle County,the unincorporated areas along with the towns of Avon, Basalt, Gypsum, Minturn, Red Cliff, Eagle and Vail are included in the program. Flood Locations New Eagle County Floodplain Maps were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on Jan.4, 2005,and were adopted by FEMA on December 4, 2007.The new maps replace 25 year old maps that no longer represent current conditions.The maps cover the Eagle River from Dowd Junction to its confluence with the Colorado River,the Colorado River from its confluence with the Eagle River to the Garfield County line,and the portion of the Roaring Fork River located in Eagle County.The new floodplain maps are listed by river. Several floodplain studies are available in the Eagle County Engineering Department.Available studies include: • Flood Information Report of the Eagle and Colorado Rivers • Flood Information Report of the Roaring Fork River • Supporting Study for the Letter of Map Revision for Brush Creek and Abrams Creek • Supporting Study for the Letter of Map Revision for the Eagle River at Brett Ranch • Flood Insurance Study, Eagle County Colorado and Incorporated Areas (flood plain map examples can be found in appendix D) The area adjacent to a river channel is its floodplain. In its common usage, "floodplain" most often refers to the area most at risk of flooding from the "100-year flood"; a flood that has a 1 percent(1%)chance in any given year of being equaled or exceeded. Other types of floods include general rain floods,thunderstorm-generated flash floods,alluvial fan flooding,dam failure floods and local drainage floods.The 100-year flood is the national standard to which communities regulate their floodplains through the National Flood Insurance Program. Some flooding can be predicted by weather reports, but many times smaller flash floods are a result of a microburst system,which simply overwhelms both natural and constructed drainage systems.Such failures sometimes cause excessive damage to towns and industry in the flooded areas. Emergency services,transportation, power,water and wastewater services, business and hazardous materials storage may be disrupted and can affect the population located in or near the flooded area. Flood History Eagle County has experienced significant seasonal floods in 1918, 1921, 1957, 1983, 1984, 1995 and 2010.The 1957 flood was determined to be a 50-year event and the 2010 flood was deemed a 100-year event. In 2010 the Town of Vail experienced flood damage to numerous structures, both private and public.The Town of Gypsum experienced 32 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A some erosion problems which threatened a wastewater treatment facility and Eagle County had part of a roadway collapse after flood water undermined the embankment. A Presidential Disaster(DR-1186-CO)was declared in Eagle County due to the flooding of 1984. A flash flood along the Colorado River and Sweetwater Creek in 2013 covered 14 miles of roadway with between three and six feet of mud,inundated a Bureau of Land Management campground and impacted pastureland and irrigation infrastructure. In 2008,several concerned citizens contacted the County for assistance with floodplain questions along Stone Creek. The original mapping effort for Stone Creek was performed in the early 1980's, and was not accurate in regards to the location of the Eagle-Vail Subdivision.Specifically,there are areas of Elk Lane, Deer Boulevard,and other areas that are shown to be within the regulatory floodplain. In these areas,the regulatory floodplain is completely outside of Stone Creek and Golf Club Creek. Because of these mapping inaccuracies, many residents were being assessed mandatory floodplain insurance by their lenders, as required under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994.This resulted in substantially large flood insurance premiums for an area that has a very low probability of flooding; much lower than properties located adjacent to waterways. Based upon the mapping inaccuracies, it was determined by FEMA that the appropriate method to correct the mapping inaccuracies would be the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process and that a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA)would no longer be accepted.The LOMR process is much more involved,as it requires that the entire stream system be mapped and surveyed,the hydrology and hydraulics be studied,a numerical model be utilized to predict the proposed Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), proposed maps created, and then submitted. The revised LOMR did have approximately 16 structures within the SFHA, as well as numerous structures within a Shaded X zone that has a moderate flood risk.As a result, a FMA grant application was submitted in December 2009. FEMA awarded the grant in 2011 and Eagle County used the funds to improve the flood conveyance of the stream channel and improve a flood bypass channel and diversion structure. The Stone Creek Flood Hazard Mitigation Project was designed and bid in 2012/2013,and the Project construction was completed in October of 2014 with the following funding: • Eagle-Vail Property Owners Association (EVPOA)- Up to$30,000; 12.5%of project cost. • Eagle County- Up to$30,000; 12.5%of project cost. • FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant- Up to$180,000;75%of project cost. A LOMR was prepared and submitted to FEMA to revise mapping along Stone Creek after the improvements were constructed.The LOMR was accepted by FEMA and became effective in February 2016 removing 6 structures from the special flood hazard area and reducing the flood hazard to 65 homes in the shaded Zone X area of"moderate risk". Eagle County is also home to several dams,and is the inundation zone for several dams in adjoining counties which if damaged could prove to be severely disruptive and even deadly. Class I and Class II dams are defined as follows: 33 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A High Hazard: A dam is considered a High Hazard Dam when failure would result in probable loss of human life. The Colorado Division of Water Resources lists eleven High Hazard Dams: Eagle Park Reservoir, LEDE Reservoir,Sylvan Lake, Robinson Lake, Homestake Reservoir, Noecker Reservoir, Black Lake#1,Western Hillside Reservoir,Spring Park Reservoir,Von Springs#2 Reservoir and Polaris Reservoir located in Eagle County. Significant Hazard: Significant damage is expected, but not loss of human life.The phrase"Significant damage" refers to structural damage where humans live,work or recreate,or to public or private facilities exclusive of unpaved roads and picnic areas. "Damage" refers to rendering these structures uninhabitable or inoperable. Eagle County has six Significant Hazard dams. r 7p,r . d '" r a , -u ' } tv, ea *M �� lle .�k," li 1 qMy ➢y� 2 eC;H( # n r kr 4 -' " ff � a. ;iiti a r� 1 r 4 4 .rw ..,... fa * m Colorado Division of Water Resources In addition to dams located in Eagle County there are twelve High Hazard and fourteen Significant Hazard dams in surrounding counties with potential to impact Eagle County.

Severe Winter Weather Locations Winter Storms occur frequently in all areas of Eagle County,and they vary significantly in size,strength, intensity, duration and impact. Winter road conditions pose the greatest hazard during winter storms, particularly when it impacts Interstate 70 and the few State highways running through Eagle County,which are the most important corridors for the transport of people and the provisions needed for the continuity of normal life.A disruption or blockage due to vehicle crashes on these roads can cause major disruptions to Eagle County and beyond. The recreational areas of Eagle County are also impacted by severe winter storms. Hunters, skiers, hikers, snowmobilers and others are sometimes trapped in the backcountry by sudden or unpredicted storms.When these victims are stranded in remote areas, rescue personnel can be endangered and costly supplies and specialized equipment are sometimes needed for response. Severe Winter History Since August 1950, a total of 410 winter storm events were reported in Eagle County: 'Number of County/Zone areas affected: 6 Number of Days with Event: 276 Number of Days with Event and Death: 0 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 1 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 0 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 National Climatic Data Center Wildfire Events Since 1980, Eagle County has not experienced Presidential or SBA Disaster Declarations for severe winter weather, however,winter storms do have the potential for significant impact on residents'safety,critical infrastructure and vital services as discussed in the Risk Assessment section of this report. 36 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A Severe Winter Weather Risk Jurisdiction Location Maximum Probable Probability of Overall (Jurisdictional Area Extent Future Events Significance Affected) (Magnitude/Strength) Eagle County Significant Severe Highly Likely High Beaver Creek Extensive Severe Highly Likely High Metropolitan District Eagle Vail Metropolitan Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High District Town of Avon Extensive Extreme Highly Likely High Town of Eagle Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Town of Gypsum Extensive Moderate Occasional Low Town of Minturn Significant Moderate Occasional Low Town of Red Cliff Extensive Moderate Likely Medium Town of Vail Extensive Severe Highly Likely Medium Greater Eagle FPD Significant Severe Highly Likely High Eagle River FPD Significant Severe Highly Likely High Basalt&Rural FPD Significant Severe Highly Likely High Gypsum FPD Significant Severe Highly Likely High 37 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Landslides Landslides, including rock fall and other debris flow,as a natural hazard exist in almost every state in the United States,and are a serious geologic hazard.They sometimes present a threat to human life, but most often result in a disruption of everyday services, including emergency response capabilities. Landslides can and do block transportation routes,dam creeks and drainages and contaminate water supplies.When these hazards affect transportation routes they are frequently expensive to clean-up and can have significant economic impact to the area. FEMA describes debris flows,sometimes referred to as mudslides, mudflows, lahars,or debris avalanches,as common types of fast-moving landslides.These flows most frequently occur during or after periods of intense rainfall or rapid snow melt.They typically start on steep hillsides as shallow flows that liquefy and accelerate to speeds that of about 10 miles per hour, but can exceed 35 miles per hour. Debris flows have a consistency ranging from watery mud to thick, rocky mud that can carry large items such as boulders,trees and cars and can damage road surfaces. Flows from many different sources can combine in channels,and can increase in destructive power.These flows continue and grow in volume with the addition of water,sand, mud, boulders,trees and other materials.When the flows reach flatter ground,the debris spreads over a broad area,sometimes accumulating in thick deposits that can wreak havoc and cause significant destruction in developed areas. Landslide History In 2002,an update to Colorado's Landslide plan was completed,and it identified several areas of vulnerability in Eagle County.Colorado's plan compiled these areas into different priorities described in three distinct categories or tiers based upon the criticality of the threat.The three categories are further described as: • Tier One listings are serious cases needing immediate or ongoing action or attention because of the severity of potential impacts. • Tier Two listings are very significant but less severe;or where adequate information and/or some mitigation actions have taken place;or where current development pressures are less extreme. • Tier Three listings are similar to Tier Two but with less severe consequences or primarily local impact. In 2004,2010 and 2016, rockslides damaged and closed Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon.Although this event was not in Eagle County,the rockslides created widespread problems in providing normal services in the county. The 2016 rockfall event completely closed the Interstate for five days requiring a three-hour detour route for many commuters. Landslide Locations Landslides are a significant problem in Eagle County according to the State's 2018 mitigation plan.The Vail area alone has 20 locations designated as high hazard earth flow areas. In 1984, six major earth flows occurred which affected the town and private property.The Dowd Junction landslide at the intersection of Interstate 70 and highways 6 and 24 is another area of significant concern.A landslide here could threaten the highway and dam the Eagle River. During the late 1970's and early 1980's, several slides caused road blockages on Interstate 70 and US Highway 6.The Meadow Mountain slide between Minturn and Dowd Junction has been moving for about 35 years and caused considerable damage to Highway 6 in 1984 and also covered the railroad tracks near Minturn. Historically,other Eagle County areas threatened by landslides include Shrine Pass, Basalt,Sweetwater, Beaver Creek and Red Cliff. 38 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Figure 10 Landslide photo h i ita House built in a flood plain at the toe of a landslide near Wolcott. Photo by D. Noe Rockfalls, sinkholes,subsidence,swelling or expansive soils and debris flows are geologic hazards related to landslides. Many of the soils located in the Colorado, Eagle,and Roaring Fork River Valleys below an elevation of 8,000 can have a collapse potential. Foundation movement is generally tolerated unless there is a source of water, such as water line breaks,that result in deep wetting,and could cause substantial settlement and foundation failure. Furthermore,the Eagle Valley Evaporite formation consists of soils that are high in water soluble minerals.Sinkholes and subsidence depressions are present in areas where the Eagle Valley Evaporite is at or near the surface.Sinkholes are typically 10 to 50 feet in diameter with depths between 2 to 10 feet.Subsidence depressions are considerably larger and can span several acres to several hundred acres.Sinkholes can appear in areas that are flood irrigated, but are also present in non-irrigated areas. Locations in Eagle County at risk of landslides are identified in Appendix E: Landslide Inventory Maps 39 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Landslide Risk Jurisdiction Location Maximum Probable Probability of Overall (Jurisdictional Extent Future Events Significance Area Affected) (Magnitude/Strength) Eagle County Limited Weak Occasional Medium Beaver Creek Metropolitan Limited Moderate Occasional Medium District Eagle Vail Metropolitan District Negligible Weak Unlikely Low Town of Avon Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Town of Eagle Negligible Weak Unlikely Low Town of Gypsum Negligible Severe Unlikely Low Town of Minturn Negligible Weak Occasional Low Town of Red Cliff Significant Severe Occasional Medium Town of Vail Negligible Moderate Occasional Medium Greater Eagle FPD Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Eagle River FPD Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Basalt& Rural FPD Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Gypsum FPD Limited Moderate Occasional Low 40 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Avalanche Avalanches are a kind of slope failure that sometimes occurs on grades steeper than about 20 to 30 degrees. Avalanches can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour and can exert enough force to destroy buildings and uproot large and healthy trees.Avalanche-prone areas can be determined with some accuracy, since under normal circumstances avalanches tend to run down the same paths year after year. Exceptional weather conditions though sometimes produce avalanches that overrun normal path boundaries or create new paths. Unlike other forms of slope failure, snow avalanches can build up and be triggered on more than one occasion during a single winter season. Avalanche History Since 1950,there have been 45 avalanche events reported in Eagle County: 'Number of County/Zone areas affected: 4 Number of Days with Event: `:43 Number of Days with Event and Death: 21 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 30 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 7 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 From 1950 to 2016,Colorado experienced more than double the number of avalanche-related fatalities as the next most dangerous state. Eagle County experienced fifteen fatalities during this time.Avalanches are a very significant threat as development and recreation increase in mountain areas. Data show the incidence of Avalanches has increased,as has the number of people affected by Avalanche events. Information from Avalanche accidents shows that this hazard occurs in about one-third of the states and is a significant hazard in much of the West,where Avalanches are the most frequently occurring lethal form of mass movement. Mortality due to snow Avalanches exceeds the average mortality due to earthquakes and all other forms of slope failure combined on an annual basis. Sometimes,Avalanches pose hazards that affect a significant sector of the public, involve a number of private organizations and require cooperation and action by government agencies at the federal, state and local levels.The Avalanche hazard causes economic loss to residents, businesses,transportation systems and government agencies and can have a negative impact on the local economy of many mountain regions. Areas of Eagle County are considered susceptible to Avalanche activity. Many of the annual visitors to these areas head into the backcountry ill-equipped and without an adequate appreciation for the dangers that Avalanches pose. Many times in the recent past people have been caught in these Avalanches and been hurt or have died.The rescue and recovery of these people is a labor-intensive and dangerous task for the emergency personnel involved. Sample Event#1:Vail Ski Area 22 Jan 2012, Five skiers entered the Prima Cornice area through the Lower Prima Cornice gate.Skiers 1, 2 and 3 began hiking or sidestepping uphill to the south along the rim of the Prima Cornice.Skiers 4 and 5 quickly decided to stop hiking and skied down about 200-300 vertical feet to a bench in the slope.Skiers 4 and 5 waited for the other three at this bench. Skiers 1, 2, and 3 continued hiking/sidestepping until they were approximately 120 linear feet uphill and to the south of the Lower Prima Cornice gate. From the rim of the Prima Cornice,they traversed south and 41 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A further out into the Prima Cornice area.The three skiers were in the Prima Cornice area at the time the avalanche released. Number Caught 3, Buried 0, Killed 1. Sample Event#2: East Vail. backcountry southeast of Vail Ski Area 07 Jan 2014, A group of four sidecountry riders assembled on the morning of January 7.All four were equipped with avalanche safety equipment,and were aware of the danger ratings in the Colorado Avalanche Information Center(CAIC)forecast.They were all familiar with the terrain in the East Vail Chutes.The group proceeded to the bottom of Platter Lift 22, put on skins and ascended to the top of 11,816 foot Red (also known as Abrahams)at about 11:15 a.m. Two riders descended an avalanche path known as Tweeners.Tweeners is the northernmost of the three adjacent avalanche paths. All four riders were caught in the avalanche. Number Caught 4, Buried 0, Killed 1. Sample Event#3: Ptarmigan Hill. near Vail Pass 18 Apr 2013,At approximately 1pm,the three members of the group involved in this avalanche left the top of Ptarmigan Hill. One of them rode a snowmobile along a road to the bottom and waited for the two riders. Rider 1 went to the north and entered the avalanche path from the skier's right(east)side while Rider 2 went northwest above the top of the bowl to enter from the skier's left(west) side. Rider 1 waited at the top of his line for Rider 2 to come into view and remembers last seeing him near the large rock(see Figure 12)on the skier's left(west)side of the bowl. Rider 1 planned to drop off a rock below and describes seeing the snow slide off the rock as he approached it,which indicates the avalanche was moving at this time.As he landed, he remembers the snow "looking like an ocean"all around him and he was knocked down by snow that came from behind him. He fought to stand up, keep his board on the surface, and gain speed, but could not move faster than the moving debris.The speed of the flow decreased as it hit a bench part way down the avalanche path on the skier's right(east)side,and the avalanche released him into the trees below(see Figure 13). Rider 2's location at the time of the slide is unknown,but he was caught in the slide and carried down the slope and through thick vegetation. He came to rest on the surface of the snow against an 8" diameter tree near the bottom of the debris. Number Caught 2, Buried 0, Killed 1. Avalanche Locations The Colorado Geological Survey(CGS)and the CAIC have mapped the State's areas susceptible to avalanche activity. The CAIC forecasts backcountry avalanche and mountain weather conditions for 10 Zones in the mountains of Colorado.The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has mapped avalanche corridors on the state highway system,and the approximate number of slide paths that CDOT and CAIC crews monitor and/or control on each. 42 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A W YC+itM@ f f �4 Colorado Avalanche Fatalities by County CIC �' � � � ',� 1950-51 to 2015-16 ........

Most natural disasters,such as floods or forest fires,occur relatively rapidly and afford little time for preparing for disaster response. Droughts are typically long-term hazard events that occur slowly,over a multi-year period, and it can be difficult to quantify when a drought begins and ends. Due to Colorado's semiarid conditions, drought is a natural but unpredictable occurrence in the state.Single season droughts over some portion of the state are quite common.The onset of drought in western Colorado mountain counties is usually signaled by a lack of significant winter snowfall. Eagle County receives the majority of its precipitation as snow in the higher elevations during the months of November-April. Hot and dry conditions that persist from spring into summer and fall can aggravate drought conditions, making the effects of drought more pronounced as water demands increase during the growing season and summer months. FEMA has four categories of drought: • Meteorological drought: is defined solely on the degree of dryness, expressed as a departure of actual precipitation from an expected average or normal amount based on monthly,seasonal, or annual time scales. • Hydrological drought: is related to the effects of precipitation shortfalls on stream flows and reservoir, lake and groundwater levels. • Agricultural drought: is defined principally in terms of soil moisture deficiencies relative to water demand of plant life, usually crops. • Socioeconomic drought: associates the supply and demand of economic goods or services with elements of meteorological, hydrologic,and agricultural drought. Socioeconomic drought occurs when the demand for water exceeds the supply as a result of a weather related supply shortfall. Drought Locations Drought affects all areas within the county with equal frequency and severity. Due to Eagle County's geographic location and climate it is highly likely that the county will experience drought conditions in the future. Drought does not usually present life safety issues or directly impact critical infrastructures such as roads, bridges, utilities, communications systems, or public safety resources. However,drought presents ongoing challenges for most Colorado communities, requiring sustained planning and conservation efforts to ensure a reliable water supply to meet current and future needs.Although communities in Eagle County have addressed conservation and water supply issues on a number of levels,the persistence of the hazard will require sustained mitigation efforts.Water supply planners must also be cognizant of the effects of climate change on the frequency and severity of future droughts. Drought impacts are most severe for commercial, agricultural and recreational interests that rely on an uninterrupted supply of water.With total annual precipitation in Eagle County averaging only 10-11 inches per year, any decrease in moisture over a single year or for a multi-year period can have significant impacts on the tourism and recreation economy. Many Eagle County residents rely on individual ground wells and constructed water retention structures for their water resources. Local ranchers depend on ponds and ditches for livestock and irrigation of crops. Drought can also result in an increased fire danger in urban natural areas and the wildland/urban interface as well as wildland/open space areas. The reduction in vegetation due to drought exposes soil to wind and erosion.The quality of rivers and lake water can also deteriorate as a result. 45 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT �� �� Drought History Colorado has experienced seven multi-year droughts since 1893, with the most devastating taking place in the 1930s and 1950s.The most intense single year of drought in state history occurred in 2002,an extremely dry year imbedded in an extended dry period between 2000 and 2006. In Eagle County, several disaster declarations have been granted for drought:2004-USDA Secretarial Disaster:51947, 2006-USDA Secretarial Disaster:S2351, 2013-USDA Secretarial Disaster:S3548 and S3575, and in 2018-USDA Secretarial Disaster:54386.

Intracloud lightning is the most common type of discharge.This occurs between oppositely charged centers within the same cloud. Usually it takes place inside the cloud and looks from the outside of the cloud like a diffuse brightening that flickers. However,the flash may exit the boundary of the cloud, and a bright channel can be visible for many miles.Although not as common, cloud-to-ground lightning is the most damaging and dangerous form of lightning. Most flashes originate near the lower-negative charge center and deliver negative charge to earth. However,a large minority of flashes carry positive charge to earth.These positive flashes often occur during the dissipating stage of a thunderstorm's life. Positive flashes are also more common as a percentage of total ground strikes during the winter months.This type of lightning is particularly dangerous for several reasons. It frequently strikes away from the rain core, either ahead or behind the thunderstorm. It can strike as far as 5-10 miles from the storm in areas that most people do not consider to be a threat. Positive lightning also has a longer duration,so fires are more easily ignited. And, when positive lightning strikes, it usually carries a high peak electrical current, potentially resulting in greater damage. Lightning poses a serious risk to human life,such as outdoor recreationists and agricultural and other field workers, it can cause extensive damage to buildings and it is a frequent cause of wildfires. Eagle County experiences frequent lightning storms in the summer months from June through September. Lightning Locations Lightning can occur anywhere in the county and poses a similar risk to all jurisdictions within the county. According to the National Lightning Safety Institute(NLSI), Colorado ranks third in the nation in deaths due to lightning strikes with 39 fatalities recorded between 1990 and 2003 (behind only Florida and Texas). Over the same period, Colorado also ranks third nationally in deaths per million people (behind only Utah and Wyoming). Nationwide, estimates of property damage, increased operating costs, production delays, and lost revenue from lightning and secondary effects exceed $8-10 billion per year. Lightning History Since 1950,there has only been one reported incident due to lightning in Eagle County. In August 2008, lightning struck a home in Vail and ignited a fire within the floor structure and the ceiling cavity.The fire burned through five structural floor joists.The lightning also blew apart a section of the stone chimney and sent pieces flying up to 20 feet away.

Severe Wind Locations Severe winds can impact all jurisdictions in the county leading to possible utility outages,debris blocking streets and waterways, downing of trees, and arcing and/or downing power lines which can lead to structure fires. In fall and winter months, high winds occur with incoming snow storms.These winds can exceed 50 to 100 mph in exposed locations and can force the closure of highways due to blowing snow and contribute to avalanches. In the spring and summer, high winds often accompany severe thunderstorms.These winds are typically straight-line winds,which are generally any thunderstorm wind that is not associated with rotation (i.e.,is not a tornado). These winds can exceed 100 miles per hour(mph)and can be responsible for thunderstorm-related wind damage. Severe Wind History Since 1950, 7 severe wind events have been reported in Eagle county: Number of County/Zone areas affected: 2 Number of Days with Event: 7 Number of Days with Event and Death: 0 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 0 , Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 7 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 • 48 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Severe Wind Risk Jurisdiction Location Maximum Probable Probability of Overall (Jurisdictional Area Extent Future Events Significance Affected) (Magnitude/Strength) Eagle County Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Beaver Creek Significant Severe Likely Medium Metropolitan District Eagle Vail Metropolitan Significant Severe Likely High District Town of Avon Significant Severe Likely Medium Town of Eagle Negligible Weak Unlikely Low Town of Gypsum Extensive Moderate Occasional Low Town of Minturn Limited Moderate Likely Low Town of Red Cliff Limited Moderate Occasional Medium Town of Vail Extensive Moderate Highly Likely Medium 49 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Disaster Declaration History in Eagle County Hazard Year Declaration Type Flood 1984 Presidential Disaster(DR-1186-CO) Wildfire 2002 Fire Suppression Authorization FSA-2457 Drought, Freeze, Hail 2004 USDA Secretarial Disaster: 51947 Heat, High Winds, Drought 2006 USDA Secretarial Disaster:52351 Drought 2013 USDA Secretarial Disaster:53548 and S3575 Wildfire 2018 Fire Management Assistance Declaration FM-5249 Drought 2018 USDA Secretarial Disaster:S4386 Impact of Climate Change According to the 2014 National Climate Assessment,temperatures in the U.S.will continue to rise, heat waves will become more intense,and the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events will increase. The ten warmest years on record have occurred since 1997 and the Earth's surface temperatures in 2016 were the warmest since modern record keeping began in 1880 according to independent analyses by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). There are examples of record-setting events that have occurred in Colorado in the last five years, including the worst wildfires in state history(Black Forest Fire in 2013 and Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012)and the worst flood in state history(Northern Front Range in 2013).As the climate warms, it is expected that drought and severe weather-related hazard events will increase in both frequency and intensity. Although extreme weather events are caused by a variety of contributing factors, human-induced climate change is considered by a large majority of the scientific community to be one of those contributing factors. Climate change in Eagle County will likely include longer summertime warm periods,earlier onset of spring snowmelt, more precipitation arriving as rain rather than snow, and longer dry periods with heavier precipitation events in between.These types of changes could exacerbate already risky wildfire conditions, place extra pressure on already stretched water providers and users, provide additional challenges to winter and summer recreation providers, as well as a decline in snowpack depth and duration which is closely linked to water availability,watershed functions and winter ecology impacting every sector important to the community. Climate change can also affect public health by changing the frequency or severity of health problems already affected by climate and weather factors(such as increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease)and by creating new and unanticipated health risks such as an increase in infectious and vector-borne diseases. Climate warming could have profound implications for natural hazard events, including changes in the frequency, intensity,spatial 50 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A extent, duration,and timing of extreme weather and climate events,as well as public health impacts,and these factors were taken into consideration when prioritizing mitigation actions for the county. In 2016,a group of over 30 stakeholders worked together to develop Eagle County's Climate Action Plan. This plan was adopted by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners and the towns of Avon, Basalt, Eagle, Minturn,and Vail,and by the Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District. Eagle County's Climate Action Plan recommends county-wide greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of 25 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by 2050 from the Eagle County 2014 baseline inventory.Stakeholders continue to convene regularly to implement the plan's goals and strategies and monitor success through five sector-based working groups: Education and Outreach, Residential Buildings,Commercial Buildings and Industrial,Transportation and Mobility,and Materials Management and Waste Reduction. Risk Assessment by Hazard Type A risk assessment was conducted to analyze and prioritize hazards,determine loss estimates and establish a justified basis for selection of mitigation actions.The risk assessment encompassed these activities: • Public Input-data submitted by community members through a publicly available survey. This survey enabled citizens to provide input on hazards and hazard impact within the county. A summary of the results from this survey can be found in Appendix B: Public Risk Assessment Survey. • Hazard Summary Survey Results— data submitted by subject matter experts within each jurisdiction through a survey to identify and prioritize hazards based on geographical area impacted, probability of extent and future occurrence and overall significance of the hazard to the community. A summary of the results from this survey can be found in Appendix G: Hazard Risk Assessment Survey Results • Identification of Critical Infrastructure—Resources,facilities and services within the planning area were evaluated for hazard impact and loss expectancy. A summary of this information can be found under the Vulnerability Assessment section of this plan. The planning team used this information to determine vulnerabilities, prioritize hazards,and provide the basis for the mitigation actions selected. Based on the risk assessment process and the evaluation of the potential areas involved,the magnitude of the potential hazard and the probability of occurrence,the planning team prioritized these hazards for further analysis and mitigation planning: 1. Wildfire 5. Severe Wind 2. Drought(including Erosion) 6. Landslide 3. Lightning 7. Flood (including Dam Failure and Erosion) 4. Severe Winter Weather(including Extreme Cold) 8. Avalanche The planning team agreed that the hazards associated with severe winter weather and extreme cold could be consolidated into one priority area as they are interrelated,as well as combining flood with dam failure and erosion and drought with erosion as well. The planning team recognized that other hazards occur periodically and may impact Eagle County however they determined that the prioritized hazards posed a greater risk on life, safety,critical infrastructure and vital services over the next 5-year period. 51 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT Mitigation Capabilities Mitigation capabilities refer to the programs and policies currently in place to reduce hazard impacts, principally through the identification and implementation of cost-effective hazard mitigation measures.Capabilities can take the form of regulatory requirements(e.g., building codes or hazard-specific zoning ordinances), plans(e.g., hazard mitigation plans or stormwater master plans),certification programs(e.g., Firewise or the Community Rating System), personnel (e.g.,floodplain administrators and community planners), insurance(e.g., National Flood Insurance Program),and structural projects that protect critical facilities and other property. Hazard awareness and public education programs are also proven measures for preparing citizens to cope with hazard events that cannot be avoided.

Community Wildfire Protection Plans There are several Community Wildfire Protection Plans(CWPP)that have been developed in Eagle County including: Arrowhead CWPP(2008), Bachelor Gulch CWPP(2008), Beaver Creek CWPP(2007),Cordillera CWPP(2004), Eagle River Protection District CWPP(2018)Town of Vail (awaiting approval)and Eagle County CWPP(2011). The Eagle County Community Wildfire Protection Plan was created in 2005, amended in 2010 and revised in 2011. All fire departments and districts in the county participated in and signed off on this plan. Below is a Summary of Actions Taken to Create the Eagle County CWPP and is excerpted from the plan. Note that any reference to appendices in the italicized portion refers to the Eagle County CWPP. The Eagle County CWPP contains the detailed 54 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A countywide wildfire risk assessment. All CWPP plans are available on the Colorado State Forest Service website: httos://csfs.colostate.edu/wildfire-mitigation/colorado-communitv-wildfire-protection-plans/ Eagle County Wildfire Regulations: In 2002,the Eagle County Interface Evaluation Zone (ECIEZ)committee was formed to introduce a collaborative approach to addressing wildfire issues in Eagle County. The initial group consisted of the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners,the Eagle County Office of Emergency Management, Eagle County Building Department, and the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, representatives from each of the County's five Fire Protection Districts (FPDs), USFS personnel, BLM personnel,and CSFS personnel. The committee later expanded to include town officials, homeowners association representatives, representatives from The Wilderness Society, and State Government officials. Bi-monthly meetings were convened over a two year period. In May of 2002, Eagle County Community Development proposed amendments to chapters two and three of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations,in order to incorporate language pertaining to Wildfire Hazard Mitigation. The proposed amendments were referred to the Eagle County Planning Commission and the Roaring Fork Valley Planning Commission for their comments and recommendations. The Eagle County Board of County Commissioners held public hearings to consider comments on the proposed amendments in 2002. Comments from these hearings led the commissioners to hire a consultant to work towards completing a countywide wildfire hazard map within one year of the resolution adopting the wildfire regulations. The regulations were adopted on January 21,2003. Other Local Plans As for other special plans,the Town of Avon has a Climate Change Plan adopted in 2016 that addresses hazards, includes projects that could be included in the county's mitigation strategy and used to implement mitigation actions.

Wildfire A large proportion of Eagle County's population lives and recreates in the WUI areas and wildfires pose serious risks to residents,visitors, property and wildlife.The potential for wildfire-caused damage to structures in Eagle County is increasing as wildland fuels accumulate and greater numbers of people choose to build homes inwildfire-prone areas.As climate warming leads to longer, more intense periods of drought,the risks and impacts of wildfires are expected to grow, in turn leading to greater risks from landslides, mudflows and other geologic hazards during heavy rainfall events. Eagle County Community Wildfire Protection Plans(CWPP) provide a comprehensive and scientifically-based analysis of wildfire related hazards, risks and vulnerabilities. Any major wildfire anywhere near populated areas in Eagle County will have significant impacts on the community.After considering historical events, existing mitigation capabilities, hazard ratings from. CWPPs and considering life,sa.e.....„,„4 potential economic Ns 141 impacts, it was determined that Eagle County is hghly vulnerable to the impacts of a significant wildfire. *" -,if'W1lUFIR HATARB Iii G 1.444.4 w- � , , VERY!OW ' �• .TE �� t ''GH ' ' ' ' " 1 07' '41*.4i ) ' ,r4'.-^;',„,i'*".‘..— , :�: � i f�prr ?' 11 ., ',lit ,:f '',Iji , , ,I. • &liking- '** ' 4 "1"1`'": ' ---- . ,,... - ,' :-..-:.„,,:, , '. , . *fie _ ..,„, i ..,,.. *' ' - 7,'" 4 ,, , , ' .4,46, t- li,,,. .:.,•. 4 ,,,-4--. ,--"=44 -,t„:, .

Events producing heavy rainfall are expected to increase as temperatures rise in future years,which in turn, increases the potential for flash flooding. Landslides,Rockslides and Other Geological Hazards In the high country, heavy rain events reduce slope stability that can result in landslides,debris flows, mudflows, rockfalls and other types of mass movement of soil and rock.While communities in the Roaring Fork Valley have enacted strict development standards for development on slopes and hillsides,the potential for extreme precipitation events fueled by climate warming may present increased risks to people and property in Eagle County. Due to the steep terrain in most of the county,the probability of future occurrences of landslides and other geologic hazards is considered highly likely.

Eby Creek Mesa Wildfire Wildfire Eagle County/Greater Completed An additional 22 acres of pinon/juniper and Mitigation-Fuel Break Eagle FPD sagebrush mastication connecting the hydro-axe fuel break to this project area occurred during the fall of 2011 and spring of 2012. Additional hand-treatments to improve defensible-space also occurred on 9 acres of private land within the community during 2013.The interagency collaboration associated with this ongoing project has led to a landscape scale fuel reduction of more than 85 acres near this highly risk neighborhood.The work completed over the past decade represents a coordinated effort to change fire behavior and to improve overall forest health to the area. 78 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Missouri Heights Wildfire Wildfire Eagle County/Basalt& Completed Linked Defensible Space:7.5 acres Mitigation-Linked Rural FPD Defensible Space Forest thinning for defensible space was completed across 5 private lots,in order to create a continuous area of wildland fuel reduction around structures.This type of fuel-break construction was aimed at improving fire control opportunities throughout the neighborhood by removing surface and ladder-fuels from within 100 ft of the roadway and homes,and thinning the remaining vegetation for health and vigor. Ladder-fuels associated with regenerating conifers and dead/down material was removed from the treatment area,and thinning occurred in order to achieve a minimum 10 ft canopy separation between trees,and to remove insect infested pines Funding ran out before we could address additional properties Big Pinon Wildfire Mitigation Wildfire Eagle County/Basalt& Completed Grant funding was obtained through the Project-Linked Defensible Rural FPD Colorado State Forest Service to complete a 15 Space acre linked-defensible space project on 6 individual private properties.Private contractors removed debris piles,hauled off material;and mulched accumulated debris along the highway side of irrigation ditch. Work was also done to remove surface material and low branches from trees along the subdivision side of the ditch;and to thin trees and remove dead and live trees on private lots to create defensible space around homes in the project area. Tennessee Pass Wildfire Wildfire Eagle County/Eagle Completed The primary goal of this project was to Mitigation Project-Roadway River FPD minimize fuel loading along the fuel-break and defensible neighborhood's only ingress/egress route in an space attempt to reduce the intensity of any approaching fire.A roadway fuel-break was created along FSR 731 by removing dead/infested lodgepole pine,and thinning remaining trees to a distance of 100 ft on either side of the roadway.Additional forest thinning for defensible space was completed around 6 private structures.Total acres treated =15. EagleVail Wildfire Mitigation Wildfire Eagle County/Eagle Completed The purpose of this project was to conduct Project-Fuel-Break and River FPD hazardous fuel reduction and defensible space Linked Defensible Space work in the community of EagleVail,in order protect private property and the safety of Eagle-Vail residents,as well as to facilitate safe access to man-made structures by firefighters in the event of a wildfire.During the summer of 2013,approximately 3 acres of linked defensible space work was completed near homes on the southeast corner of Whiskey Hill.2014 project work expanded on this area of fuel-reduction,creating a continuous 15 acre fuel-break along the neighborhood's 79 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A eastern boarder with the White River National Forest.Within this area of fuel reduction,the continuity and arrangement of vegetation was modified to reduce the intensity of any approaching fie. Service berry and other tall shrubs were thinned so that there is a minimum of 10 feet between groupings of stems,creating a mosaic like coverage of vegetation.All remaining trees were pruned to at least 10 feet above the ground,or 1/3 their overall height.In 2014,the EagleVail Property Owners Association began offering matching funds to owners wishing to reduce wildfire hazards on their properties.To date,12 owners have taken advantage of this program to complete defensible work on their properties,including a group of 5 owners on Elk Lane that created a linked-defensible space of approximately 5 acres.Additional work was also completed near the golf-course maintenance facility,and at The Woods Townhouses. Cedar Drive Wildfire Wildfire Eagle County/Basalt& Completed A series of fatal vehicle accidents,structure Mitigation Project-Roadway Rural FPD fires,and a wildfire in 2008 brought attention Improvement,Secondary to the poor access situation in this community. Access,Water Supply,Fuel A grant was obtained by Eagle County to Reduction improve access to the 27 homes on Cedar Drive by installing guard-rails,pavement,and vehicle turn-outs at regular intervals along the road.The matching funds for this project were made available by the property owners after they formed a special improvement district to address road construction,maintenance,and wildfire mitigation.A secondary 0.8 mile egress route was created leading out of the community to the Frying Pan Road below on a neighboring private property,and an access easement was granted by the owner protecting the road in perpetuity.Additionally, improvement to defensible space were completed at 5 properties.A dry-hydrant was also installed at a nearby pond,and it is tested annually by the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District. 80 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A 2018-2023 Proposed Mitigation Actions The 2018 mitigation actions identified by the planning team were selected through a collaborative process and in alignment with FEMA mitigation planning goals,objectives, and mitigation actions: Goals: General guidelines that explain what you want to achieve. Goals are defined before considering how to accomplish them so that they are not dependent on the means of achievement. They are usually long-term, broad, policy-type statements. Objectives: Define strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals and are specific and measurable. Mitigation Actions: Specific actions that help achieve goals and objectives. The planning team members identified, discussed, and prioritized potential mitigation actions. Representatives reviewing the proposed mitigation actions prioritized the various mitigation actions based on the hazard that would be mitigated,cost estimate,and benefits to completing the mitigation actions preventing further loss,and possible funding opportunities for the actions. The planning team also discussed and identified mechanisms for each jurisdiction to integrate the following hazard mitigation initiatives into other local plans. Local jurisdictions participating in this hazard mitigation planning process agreed to include hazard mitigation into comprehensive/master plan updates, land use or zoning codes,capital improvement plans,as well as other local plan updates as appropriate to ensure that mitigation for natural hazards prioritized in this plan were taken into account.

These fuels if ignited during a wildfire would cause significant control issues and may lead to substantial structure loss. Ideas for Integration:Opportunities exist to develop partnerships between Eagle County,Town of Vail and private property owners to further develop cross boundary treatment aimed at reducing community risk. Substantial hazardous fuels work has been completed in the West Vail area and these projects will tie into existing treatment decreasing overall community risk. Partners:Town of Vail,Vail Fire and Emergency Services,Eagle County,private property owners Potential Funding:Grants,private funding,Town of Vail Cost Estimate:$20,000 Benefits:Project could prevent the potential loss of high value real estate in excess of 100 times the implementation costs. Timeline:It is anticipated a project covering 10 to 15 acres would be accomplished in 3 to 5 years Priority:3 Jurisdiction:Town of Vail Mitigation Action/Project Title:Wildfire-Town of Vail Combustible Roof Replacement Background/Issue:Due to legacy building codes many structures within the Town of Vail have a highly flammable roof covering of cedar shakes.In 2007 Town Council placed a ban on new combustible roof coverings and over time the problem will diminish in scope. In 2016 it was estimated that over 600 structures had wood roof coverings.Since that time an average of 25 buildings per year have replaced there wood roofs with a class A rated roof covering. At this rate it will take 24 years for all the roofs to be replaced with ignition resistant roof coverings. Ideas for Integration:The Town could partner with private property owners to provide incentives to replace the roof prior to the roofs end of life. Partners:Town of Vail,Vail Fire and Emergency Services,Eagle County,private property owners Potential Funding:Grants Cost Estimate:$750,000 to$1,000,000 per 10 buildings Benefits:Project would significantly reduce the risk of the individual building catching fire during a wildfire.

Partners:Town of Eagle, Eagle Ranch HOA Potential Funding:Current funding of$2500 Cost Estimate:$6,000 Benefits:With the completion of this project we estimate over$100 million could be saved from a wildfire.Also we hope that mud-slide and floods would greatly be reduced due to the fact that the mow line would be above some of the drainage. Timeline: By the end of 2019 Priority:2 87 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A PLAN ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE Plan Adoption This plan was developed in accordance with current state and federal rules and regulations governing local hazard mitigation plans, including Section 322, Mitigation Planning,of the Robert T.Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,as enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000(P.L. 106-390); FEMA's Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002 at 44 CFR Part 201. Copies of the formal adoption of this plan for all participating jurisdictions can be found in Appendix I: Adoption Documentation. With formal adoption of this plan,the jurisdictions will be requested to identify positions within their organization to meet on an annual basis to monitor, evaluate,and provide updates for this plan. The participating jurisdictions and agencies,led by Eagle County Emergency Management,will act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues, provide hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all jurisdictions, recommended actions and explore opportunities for funding for high priority projects.The authorities for participating jurisdictions have adopted the plan effective as of the dates shown in the following table: Jurisdiction Adopting Authority Adoption Date Eagle County Board of County Commissioners Town of Avon Avon Town Council 12/11/2018 Town of Eagle Eagle Town Council Town of Gypsum Gypsum Town Council Town of Minturn Minturn Town Council 1/2/2019 Town of Red Cliff Red Cliff Town Board of Trustees 11/20/2018 Town of Vail Vail Town Council Gypsum Fire Protection District Gypsum Fire Protection District Board of Directors Eagle River Fire Protection District Eagle River Fire Protection District Board of Directors EagleVail Metropolitan District EagleVail Metropolitan District Board of Directors Beaver Creek Metropolitan District Beaver Creek Metropolitan District Board of Directors Plan Maintenance and Evaluation Implementation and maintenance are critical to the success of any mitigation plan. Mitigation is most successful when it is incorporated in the day to day functions and priorities of government and in land use and development planning. It is important to maintain a constant monitoring of funding opportunities that can be leveraged to implement some of the costlier recommended actions.Specific funding opportunities that should be monitored include; special pre-and post-disaster funds, state and federal funds,and other grant programs.While this plan makes many important recommendations,the jurisdictions will need to decide which action(s)to take first.Two factors will help with making that decision;the priority assigned to the recommendations and funding availability. Low or no-cost actions most easily demonstrate progress toward successful implementation of the plan. Eagle County and the participating jurisdictions will review the plan at least annually and determine whether any significant changes have occurred requiring modifications to proposed mitigation actions and the planning document. Public input is important to the development and maintenance of the plan,and the county will continue to seek input from residents through the use of online surveys.The Eagle County Emergency Manager will facilitate the HMP planning committee's annual hazard mitigation plan review to assess progress and identify opportunities for implementing recommended actions. 88 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation

Fire Management Objectives: 1. Hazardous Fuel Reduction:The study area is represented primarily by four fuel models(Anderson FM): FM 1,2,4,6;other fuel models exist, but not in quantities sufficient to significantly influence fire behavior in the WUI. Cordillera Valley Club fuels can be characterized by old growth trees and mature tall shrubs. In general,the area is comprised of significant surface fuels with continuous stands of pinon/juniper surrounding the neighborhood.The Valley Club is a golf-course community,so fuels near homes are broken-up by irrigated fairways. Defensible Space:Many new homes in the study area have adequate defensible space; most of the older homes in the Valley Club have a combination of native and ornamental conifers and other flammable vegetation too close to the house(ie. within the home ignition zone of 30ft). Some homes have irrigated 107 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A lawns, but they account for a small portion of the overall landscape.At a minimum,fuel reduction within the home ignition zone should be implemented at every home-site in the Cordillera Valley Club. 2. Fire Resistant Construction: Homes built in the Valley Club after 2006 have fire resistant decking, roofing and siding per the Eagle County Wildfire Regulations(see figure 1,page 27). Many, if not all,of the homes built in the Valley Club prior to 2006 have wood shake roofing and conventional(non-fire rated) decks. Remodels and new construction in the study area will have to adhere to Eagle County's Building Requirements for Wildfire Areas requiring the use of fire resistant building materials.

Hazardous Fuel Reduction:The study area is represented primarily by 4 fuel models(Anderson FM): FM 1, 2,4, 6. Other fuel models exist, but not in quantities sufficient to significantly influence fire behavior in the WUI. Cedar Drive fuels can be characterized by old growth trees and mature tall shrubs. In general, the area is comprised of closed canopy pinon/juniper stands, with little to no surface fuels at lower elevations;and mature tall shrubs(primarily sage and gambel oak)at the upper reaches of the neighborhood. Defensible Space:Most homes in the study area have little to no defensible space;there is a lack of available water and poor access to the home-sites. Many homes have a combination of native and ornamental conifers and other flammable vegetation too close to the house(ie. within the home ignition zone of 30ft). At a minimum,fuel reduction within the home ignition zone should be implemented at every home-site on Cedar Drive. Fuels Breaks:The neighborhood is built at the foot of Basalt Mountain, and is characterized by extremely steep slopes(Average Slope 30+%), with numerous ravines and natural chimney features. Many homes are built on the edge these ridgelines or ravines. Landscape fuel reduction projects should seek to protect the only ingress/egress point to the area via Cedar Drive. 2. Improve Fire Fighting Infrastructure/Response: Water:There is very little available water on Cedar Drive; limited to a few small ponds and draught points along the creek running through the neighborhood.A large community cistern (minimum 10,000 gal)to provide additional water for fire suppression within Cedar Drive will improve firefighting capabilities and minimize water shuttling along the one point of access to the neighborhood. On-site water storage is vital to protecting homes during a wildfire.Additional water storage should be installed at every home on Cedar Drive. Safety Zones:Reliable safety zones are at a premium within the Cedar Drive neighborhood, but some do exist.There is a large meadow of the area at the entrance to Basalt Mountain Ranch.This would be a good location for a large tank or cistern. Given the poor access and fuels below this part of the neighborhood, it is of paramount importance to maintain this area as a viable safety zone.The tall-grass in the meadow should be cut, or have animals graze on it, during fire season to keep it low to the ground. 3. Improve Access:Access to the neighborhood is extremely poor. Property owners and emergency responders are forced to enter/exit the neighborhood via a single-lane dirt road,with several awitchbacksandsevenedrop'ofsfnmmnthmruadvvay. |n3UO8,oxxi|d|andfiretrappedresidmntsvvhenthe only route in and out of the neighborhood was compromised. Secondary Access(Egress):A non-maintained 4WD road connects Cedar Drive to the Frying Pan Road via an adjacent property.The road is less than 0.8 miles in length and can be accessed from the end of 109 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT �� �� Basalt Mountain Drive.This non maintained road is in need of improvement in order to accommodate 4WD vehicles, anal potentially Type VI engines. Road improvements and access easements should be investigated and implemented in order to create a viable secondary access point to the neighborhood. Primary Access(Ingress): Road improvements to the lower section of Cedar Drive are vital to protect the life safety of homeowners and emergency responders entering the area.Wherever possible, road widths should be increased and emergency turn-outs should be created to facilitate traffic flow both in and out of the area during a fire.Guardrails should be installed at several points along the road to protect large fire-fighting apparatus from slipping off the driving surface.

Colorow is a residential neighborhood in unincorporated Eagle County approximately 6 miles from Edwards, Colorado.The community is made up of approximately 20 home sites within the WUI,and borders public lands on its western and southern boundaries. The area is considered to be in a Montane Zone(6,000—10,000 ft), of the western slope of the Central Rockies of Colorado.'The dominant vegetation throughout the upper reaches of the study area is Ashen (PopuJus tremuloides)with short grass and mixed tall-shrub understory. Significant stands of conifers also exist throughout the study area.These stands are dominated by lodgepole pine (Pinus contorts)or 110 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT A Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga . Small sections of riparian vegetation are present near water sources and drainages. Native and non-native ornamental grass,trees,and shrubs of various types can be found near home-sites as elements of residential landscaping. Serviceberry,sage, and other tall shrubs are common at lower elevations at high densities and dominate the area surrounding the one access point to the neighborhood (Colorow Road) Fire Management Objectives: 1. Hazardous Fuel Reduction:The study area is represented primarily by seven fuel models (Anderson FM): FM 1, 2,5,6,8, 10,40);other fuel models exist,but not in quantities sufficient to significantly influence fire behavior in the WUI.Colorow fuels are characterized by old growth trees and mature tall shrubs. In general,the area is comprised of significant surface fuels with a continuous, mixed conifer or aspen canopy.

Hazardous fuel build-up associated with Mtn. Pine Beetle mortality in the lodgepole pine stands surrounding the neighborhood should be addressed with increased timber harvesting over the next decade. 2. Improve Fire Fighting Infrastructure/Response: Water:There is very little available water in Colorow; limited to dry-hydrants at 3 locations (approx. 10,000 gal/each) and a few small ponds and draught points along Squaw Creek Road. A large community cistern to provide additional water for fire suppression within Colorow will improve firefighting capabilities and minimize water shuttling along the one point of access to the neighborhood. Safety Zones:Reliable safety zones are at a premium within the Colorow neighborhood, but some do exist.There is a large meadow surrounded by aspen at the upper reaches of Colorow Road,within 0.5 miles of the escape route connectng to Pilgrim Downs.This would be a good location for a large tank or cistern. Given the poor access and fuels below this part of the neighborhood,it is of paramount importance to maintain this area as a viable safety zone.The tall-grass in the meadow should be cut, or have animals graze on it,during fire season to keep it low to the ground. 3. Improve Access:There is one primary access point to the Colorow neighborhood via Colorow Road;this will also be the only way in/out during a mandatory evacuation of the neighborhood. Secondary Access(Egress):A non-maintained 4WD road connects Colorow to the Pilgrim Downs 111 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan-2018 EXHIBIT �� �� subdivision.The road is less than 0.5 miles in length and can be accessed from two points on the 2000 block of Colorow Road.This non-maintained road is in need of improvement in order to accommodate 4WD vehicles,and potentially Type VI engines.There is a series of old logging roads connecting Colorow to Pilgrim Downs through public and private properties. Road improvements and access easements should be investigated and implemented in order to create a viable secondary access point to the neighborhood.

At a minimum,fuel reduction within the home ignition zone should be implemented at every home-site in Eby Creek. Fuels Breaks:In 2004, a 55 acre fuel break was created on the western edge of the neighborhood through adjacent BLM managed lands. In 2006 a 9 acre hand treatment of the area known as Neilson Gulch was completed on HOA open-space within the neighborhood (see figure 3,page 30). Long-term maintenance of these treatment areas will be needed in order to maintain effective fuel-breaks. Future landscape fuel reduction projects should seek to expand on existing treatment areas, specifically towards the northern reaches of the neighborhood. 2.

The Eagle County hazard identification and prioritizat-ions were made by aggregating the hazard assessment survey data for all participating jurisdictions. Location Negligible: Less than 10 percent of planning area or isolated single-point occurrences Limited: 11 to 25 percent of planning area or limited single-point occurrences Significant: 26 to 75 percent of planning area or frequent single-point occurrences Extensive: 76 to 100 percent of planning area or consistent single-point occurrences Maximum Probable Extent Weak: Limited classification on scientific scale,slow speed of onset or short duration of event,resulting in little to no damage. Moderate: Moderate classification on scientific scale,moderate speed of onset or moderate duration of event, resulting in some damage and loss of services for days. Severe: Severe classification on scientific scale,fast speed of onset or long duration of event,resulting in devastating damage and loss of services for weeks or months. Extreme: Extreme classification on scientific scale,immediate speed of onset or extended duration of event, resulting in catastrophic damage and uninhabitable conditions. Probability of Future Events Unlikely: Less than 1 percent probability of occurrence in the next year or a recurrence interval of greater than every 100 years Occasional: 1-10 percent probability of occurrence in the next year or a recurrence interval of 11 to 100 years Likely: 10-90 percent probability of occurrence in the next year or a recurrence interval of 1 to 10 years Highly Likely: 90-100 percent probability of occurrence in the next year or a recurrence interval of less than 1 year Overall Significance Low: Two or more criteria fall in lower classifications or the event has a minimal impact on the planning area.This rating is sometimes used for hazards with a minimal or unknown record of occurrence or for hazards with a minimal mitigation potential.Medium: The criteria fall mostly in the middle ranges of classifications and the event's impacts on the planning area are noticeable but not devastating.This rating is sometimes used for hazards with a high extent rating but a very low probability rating. High: The criteria consistently falls in the high classifications or the event is likely/highly likely to occur with 129 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan -2018 EXHIBIT A severe strength over a significant to extensive portion of the planning area.

Your participation will ensure that your town or district is represented and is eligible for FEMA funds to prevent and/or respond to a disaster or that you are a key partner in these efforts. An initial meeting will be held on September 12,2018 from 1:30-3:30 in the Eagle County Emergency Operations Center(EOC)to give you more background on mitigation planning requirements,roles and responsibilities for planning participants and to discuss next steps in the planning process. Prior to this meeting,we are asking that you complete some homework: Complete and submit a letter of commitment(see attached template)no later than Thursday,August 23rd(two weeks from today). Send any local planning documents or policies that may include mitigation activities to me before September 12(we do not want to recreate any work that has been completed by your jurisdiction). Review the previous Eagle County PDMP to become familiar with the content.You can edit this document to update information for your jurisdiction,but this will not be required until after the meeting on September 12.
