State of the COllnty Address
Peter Runyon, 2006 ChairIllan
Citizens of Eagle COlll1ty, my fellow Commissioners and coworkers here atEagle County. I'm here to report to you
that Eagle County has just had an outstanding year. I'm about to go over and highlight some of the County's
accomplishments of2006 and directions for 2007.
In the merciful interest of time, I wort't mention .all' of the wonderful things that have been done by' all of our
departments: Animal Services; Administration; Community Development; the Airport; ECO Transit and Trails;
Facilities; GIS; Health & Human services; Communications (which, papenthetically, produced this excellent
brochure and the video you just saw) The County Attorney; CSU extension; Emergency Management;
Environmental Health; Finance; Housing; Human resources; Innovation & technology; Road & Bridge; Fleet
Management; Landfill; Weed & Pest management. We thank them all.
We should also thank our other elected officials: Mark Chapin, Assessor, Teak Simonton, Clerk and Recorder, Kara
Bettis, Coroner, Joe Hoy, Sheriff, Dan Corcoran, Surveyor; and Karen Sheaffer, Treasurer.
Early on in 2006 the Commissioners made a commitment to examine and change the very culture of the County.
Our intent was and is to empower the employees and engage them in the decision making process. Throughout the
year we had a number of retreats and work sessions where we, as an organization, worked on our purpose, mission
and core values.
I'd like to report that this cultural shift has been overwhelmingly well received. I just recently received an e-mail
from an employee who wrote: " .... .as a county employee of almost 16 years, thanks for the great changes taking
place in the direction and management at the County. A lot of us feel like finally someone cares about what we
have to say and contribute." That's how an organization goes from good to great!
13
3/13/07
Every one of those departments 1 just mentioned enthusiastically contributed to and wrote goals and objectives for
their department all of which are being compiled into our first ever document "Building to Great". Probably the
first such strategic business plan ever written by a county in the state of Colorado.
Another major shift in policy has been to do a better job reaching out collaboratively to the towns and communities
to work together on issues that affect us all. The days of the County government trying to dictate policy to the other
municipalities is over. However, we do believe that the County is in a unique position to provide leadership in
bringing together divergent ideas and coalescing them into solutions that will be better than any programs we can
obtain individually.
The first, and most notable, has been the formation of the Blue Ribbon Task force on affordable housing. Because
this problem is so pervasive and daunting in magnitude, iUs logical that we tackle it as a community. W If; have also
initiated a collaborative transportation task force here in Eagle County that is looking at various solutions. From
TODs to the Union Pacific right of way. We are also actively involved in the 1-70 Corridor Coalition composed of
10 counties and 23 Municipalities.
Another area of great interest to this board is responsible land use, an issue that affects everyone in Eagle County,
no matter where you live. One of our goals is to add comprehensive planning elements to the county's land use
code that addresses all of the impacts of growth. These impacts include where to house our workforce, efficient
transportation and protection of Eagle County's most precious resource, our open space and scenic vistas.
We also took major steps to make construction more environmentally friendly. Last year we implemented new
ecoBuild Regulations in the county that require developers to use green building techniques and products.
Currently, these regulations only apply to residential development, and 1 look forward to working on adding a
commercial component this year.
We also passed a landmark smoking ordinance to prevent premature deaths and illnesses from secondhand smoke
by making all public places'and work places, including restaurants, bars, and 90% of hotel rooms, outdoor areas
including lift lines, chairlifts and gondolas, and recreation areas are all smoke-free. Eagle County was proud to
help take the lead on this issue as a precursor to the new statewide smoking ban. . )
In the spring of 06 we became acutely aware of a rapidly growing epidemic of bark beetles attacking oUr lodgepole
pine trees. By working with our friends at NWCCOG and CCI, we have been successful in drafting legislation at
both the State House and the US Congress with the goal of mitigating the long-term increased risk of catastrophic
wildfire. Locally we have an active program of fuels reduction and we hope to heat the new Road and Bridge
facility in EI Jebel with bio-mass.
Our County will also soon be home to some spectacular new open spaces. We've been hard at work developing a
plan for the Eagle River Preserve. Later this year, we hope to open the first phase of the project that will turn an
unsightly gravel pit into a naturalJy beautiful park along the Eagle River that the entire community can enjoy for
generations to come. We also worked collaboratively with Pitkin County and the town of Basalt to preserve ranch
land from our open space fwid.
The county is also moving forward with our comprehensive trail system that will connect all our communities. In
2006 we completed a mile of trail from Dotsero to Gypsum along the Eagle River. The project was a true example
of partnership betw~en ecoTrails, our Road and Bridge department, federal and state agencies. This year, we'll
continue construction of three miles of trail between Gypsum and Eagle.
As people continue to come to Eagle County and enjoy our amenities, we need to work to sustain our booming
economy in a way that supports the middle class. We're working with the community to develop economic
models that will help us predict future socio-economic conditions and aide us and others in the decision making
process.
Our Health and Human Services department continues to service the needs of our growing population. Youth and
Family Services helped 775 families last year, and more than 200 seniors participated in Adult Services programs_
14
3/13/07
Our community continues to show its generous spirit, with a 31 percent increase in active volunteers through our
Volunteer Services programs.
For the first time, the Animal Services department created a school-based outreach program. The educational
puppet show was performed in front of more than 70 kids last year, and should reach 200,by the end of the school
year.
For our seniors, our own housing department completed a half million-dollarrenovationto the 36 Golden Eagle
Apartments, and we plan on adding 14 more low-income senior housing units to the facility. Additionally we
continue to pursue the creation of an assisted living center for our seniors.
Because our entire economy and way of life is centered around the natural environment, we believe that Eagle
County should take a lead in environmentally responsible business practices. We're developing better recycling
programs and facilities at our landfill. We're changing our own vehicle fleet to high mileage hybrids. And we are
changing our facilities to make sure they are as energy efficient as possible.
The county opened two new major facilities in 2006. The 45 thousand square foot Eagle River Center at the
county fairgrounds was a huge success when it debuted at the Fair and Rodeo and the Miller Ranch Childcare and
Community Center is both a gathering place and a source of much-needed quality childcare in the valley.
EcoTransit is dQing their part to provided quality mass transportation to residents and visitors in Eagle County. At
nearly 950 thousand, ridership numbers for 2006 were the highest in history, and a 27 percent increase from 2005.
EcoTransit also published a long-term, integrated vision for high-speed regional transit, local feeder-circulator
systems, and pedestrian and transit oriented cOmn.1unities. This study has been an ideal springboard for the Transit
panel mentioned earlier.
Once again, the Eagle Cou.nty Airport saw an increase in passenger service, and more improvements are
underway to make the airport even more efficient and customer-friendly. A new instrumentlanding system came
online in 2006, and with the addition ofa radar system this spring, we'll be able to land more planes, and bring
more people, to Eagle County then, ever before. The runway extension project that began last year will be
completed in 2008, lengthening the runway one thousand feet, and allowing airlines to operate more, efficiently. We
are also studying significant improvements to the tertninal.
The community now has the opportunity to see how we do it. This meeting, and all regular board meetings are
broadcast live on our new government access television channel, ecoTV-18. The station is simply designed to
make c'ountygovernment more accessible, to show you first-hand what we're doing, and to educate the community
on all the programs and services that county government provides.
These are just a few of the many accomplishments we've worked hard to achieve this past year. For a more
detailed look that highlights all departments and elected offices, ple<;1se pick up a copy of our 2006 annual report.
As county commissioners, we're proud to serve the community. We're deeply committed to the trust you've placed
in us as elected officials, and look forward to working together to make Eagle County an even better place to live,
work and play for all of us.

Show Cause Hearing stemming from the following events:
On December 15, 2006 at approximately 10:45 p.m.; this establishment allegedly SQld an alcoholic
beverage to a minor during an underage compliance check performed by the Eagle County Sheriff's Office.
The Rumpus Room has stipulated to a violation of the Colorado Liquor Code. AccOrdingly, this matter is hefore
the Board for the sentencing portion of the Show Cause Hearing. Stipulation attached.
MITIGATING FACTORS:
This is the establishment's first violation since their opening in 2006.
AGGRAVATING FACTORS:
This establishment has been open for less than a year.
"
Clerk's records indicate that this establishment has attempted to provide some server training information but
additional information is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
For first time violations, this Board has previously issued a 10-day suspension holding 8 days in abeyance for one
year. However, staff believes a 14-day suspension holding 12 days i~ abeyance, and requiring the licensee to serve
2 days of active suspension would be more appropriate given the recent increase in violations within
Unincorporated Eagle County. As such, staff recommends that the Rumpus Room liquor license be suspended for
14 days with 12 days held in abeyance for one (1) year, from the date ofthe approval of this agreement by the local
licensing authority. If the Rumpus Room, Inc d/b/a Rumpus Room violates the Colorado Liquor Code within this
year, all days will be served in addition to any other disciplinary action imposed by the Authority. The days of
active suspension shall be served within the next 3 months with at least one (1) of those days being a Saturday. In.
addition, the establishment must provide and maintain evidence of server training.
DISCUSSION:
)
Ms. Scriver presented the background of the violation and the mitigating and aggravating factors. This is
the first violation since the establishment opened in 2006. However, the aggravating factors included that the
establishment had been open for less than one year and they had not provided sufficient server training information.
Sterling Bradbrook representing the establishment was present.
Chairman Menconi asked ifMr. Bradbrook ifhe had any comments.
17
3/13/07
Mr. Bradbrook stated that they had developed a new age verification training procedure for the
establishment. All persons who appear to be under the age of 35 will be asked for identification from this point
forward. All bartenders will ask for identification a second time once individuals order liquor.
Mr. Menconi asked Ms. Hooper if all procedures had been covered.
Ms. Hooper indicated that the only matter before the authority is the disciplinary decision.
Commissioner Runyon moved to accept the stipulation.
Commissioner Fisher seeonded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Runyon stated that not too long ago the owners were presented with their new license. The
Commissioners expressed grave reservations at that point and indicated that the establishment would be watched
very closely. He is disturbed that the establishment didn't take the initial warning seriously enough, He agrees
with the 14 day suspenSion along with 12 being held in abeyance, and believes this is a generous recoitnnendation.
He asked the representative to take this suspension very seriously.
Conunissloner Fisher asked about the lack of tips training verification. She asked how many servers the
Rumpus Room had. i
Mr. Bradbrook indicated that they had three servers each night. He indicated that two are tips trairied.
They have had a significant staff turnover recently. He is TIPS trained and he is in the establishment every night.
All of his staff have indicated that they,have received this training but had not provided ptoof.
Conunissioner Fisher wondered if the establishment had originally committed to checking identification at
the door.
Mr. Bradbrook stated that this person had been terminated, as they were not doing their job on the evening
in question.
-Commissioner Fisher stated that the person not only made it past the door, but they also Were allowed to
order liquor without being asked for identification. She believes the staff recommendation is too lenient. She
believes it is a great responsibility to be given a liquor license. Several weeks ago another establishment had a\
similar violation. This establishment had to serve a 5 day suspension. She would like to see a greater punishment.
She reconunended a 10-day suspension with 4 days held in abeyance. .
Mr. Bradbrook stated that he had held another liquor license in the County and was aware of the
responsibility and apologized for this lapse in procedures. He held a license in Vail.
Chairman Menconi asked for a motion or further dialog between the two other commissioners.
Commissioner Runyon asked Commissioner Fisher if the difference could be split.
Mr. Bradbrook wondered if the hearing could be postponed until the other owner and registered manager,
Bill Woodruff could be present.
Chairman Menconi indicated that the Board has full discretion to impose penalties at this time. He echoed
the concerns of his fellow Commissioners. He wanted to proceed with the penalty at this hearing.
Commissioner Fisher moved that the Local Licensing Authority suspend the liquor license of The Rumpus
Room, mc. d/b/a Rumpus Room for 14 days, holding 4 days in abeyance for a period of one (1) year. If The
Rumpus Room, Inc d/b/a Rumpus Room violates the Colorado Liquor Code within the year, all days will be served
in addition to any other penalty that may be imposed by the Authority. The 10 days of active suspension must be /
served prior to the end of the ski season with at least one (2) of those days being a Saturdays. In addition, licensee
is required to submit updated server training information no later than the opening of the establishment, including
proof that all employees of the establishment have received current TIPS training and shall, in the future, continue
to update the Clerk's records as necessary.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Chairman Menconi stated that he agreed in principle with Commissioner Fisher's motion and
recommendation but was in favor of fewer active days of suspension. He preferred 5 day of active suspension with
2 days being a Saturdays or Fridays.
Commissioner Runyon moved that the Local Licensing Authority suspend the liquor license of The
Rumpus Room, Inc. d/b/a Rumpus RoomJor 14 days, holding 9 days in abeyance for a period of one (I) year. If
The Rumpus Room, Inc d/b/a Rumpus Room violates the Colorado Liquor Code within the year, all days will be
18
3/13/07
served in addition to any other penalty that may be imposed by the Authority. The 5 days of active suspension
must be served prior to the end of the ski season with at least one (2) of those days being a Saturdays. In addition,
licensee is required to submit updated server training information no later than the opening of the establishment,
including proofthat all employees of the establishment have received current TIPS training and shall continue to
update the Clerk's records as necessary.
Chairman Menconi asked Ms. Scriver how she understood this motion.
Ms. Scriver stated that the establishment would serve 5 days of active suspension, with 9 held in abeyance.
These 5 days would be served within the next three months with two of the days being Saturdays.
Commissioner Fisher requested that the suspension be served prior to the end of the Vail ski season, which
she believed to be April 21st.
Ms. Hooper wondered if the Board would like the suspension served prior to April 21 st.
Commissioner Fisher concuiTed and requested an amendment to the motion. She preferred 7 days of active
suspension to be served consecutively from. Saturday to Saturday.
Chairman Menconi clarified that the amendment could be added due to a failure of the fIrst vote.
Commissioner Runyon stated that he had asked for a compromise.
Chairman Menconi stated that he agreed in principal with Commissioner Fisher's opinion but would prefer
a five day suspension rather than 7.
Commissioner RunYQ,n and Menconi voted in favor, Commissioner Fisher voted against the motion.

Jeffrey Petruso and Chad Cremonese were present for the establishment. The restaurant manager was the
responsible individual and she is no longer employed by the establishment. All of the existing employees are tips
trained. They are aware of the responsibility that comes with a liquor license. They had difficulty getting their
initial license. They will make sure this doesn't occur again.
Commissioner Runyon moved to accept the stipulation.
Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Fisher asked who conducted the TIPS training.
Mr. Cremonese indicated that he is currently receiving TIPS training and that he is also conducting the
training.
Ms. Scriver indicated that there is a process to go through to become a TIPS trainer.
Mr. Crernonese stated that he has yet to begin this process. He has not had TIPS training.
Ms. Fisher wondered where the other employees had received their training.
Mr. Cremonese indicated that he didn't learn of the problem until last week. _ '
Mr. Cremonese stated that their manager had just recently been released.
Chairman Menconi stated that he was here when the license Was issued. He appreciates the serious nature
with which they are taking the situation.
Commissioner Runyon moved that the Local Licensing Authority suspend the liqudr license of Blue Sky
Restaurant Group, Inc d/b/a Full Belly Kitchen & Pub for 14 days, holding 12 days in abeyance for a period of one
(1) year. If Blue Sky Restaurant Group, Inc d(b/aFull Belly Kitchen & Pub violates the Colorado Liquor Code
within the year, all days will be served in addition to any other sentencing by the Board. The 2 days of active
suspension must be served prior to April 21, 2001 with at least one (1) of those days being a Saturday. In addition,
licensee is required to submit updated server training information no later than April 1, 2007 and shall, in the
future, continue to update the Clerk's records as necessary.
Chairman Menconi seconded the motion. The vote waS declared unanimous.
Commi~sioner Fisher felt it necessary to drive home the point about the seriousness of holding a liqudr
license and thatit is an incredible privilege. She believes the message that we send to our young people in the
community is dangerous if it' s not taken seriously. She recommended that the employees take the TIPS training in
a supervised environment. She believes a more stringent penalty is in order. .
Cotnmissioner Runyon and Menconi voted in favor of the motion, Commissioner Fisher voted against.

Board for the sentencing portion of the Show Cause Hearing. Stipulation attached.
MITIGATING FACTORS:
This is the establishment's first violation since their opening in 1999.
AGGRAVATING FACTORS:
Clerk's records indicate that the establishment has never provided proof of server training or alcohol management
plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
For first time violations, this Board has previously issued a 10-day suspension holding 8 days in abeyance for one
year. However, staff believes a 14-day suspension holding 12 days in abeyance, and requiring the licensee to serve

Commissioner Fisher thanked the Heidens for being present and for their comments. She wondered why
the establishment had not provided evidence of TIPS training.
Ms. Heiden indicated that it was due to her leniency in the past. She should have been more diligent in
requiring proof.
Ms. Scriver was not sure why the establishment had not provided an alcohol management plan. She
indicated that each year during renewals a letter is sent which explains that TIPS certification is an Eagle County
requirement, but there is no such notice with relation to the alcohol management plan.
Chairman Menconi stated that it is possible that this was not required in 1999. In the past examples of
alcohol management plans are provided to new applicants. He suggested that this type of example be provided arid
that the representatives move quickly to put together their own plan.
Commissioner Fisher explained a bit about the alcohol management plan as a guiding document for a
licensed establishment. These plans provide a commitment to their methods of doing business.
Commissioner Runyon stated that he is a regular customer and noticed a big change when the smoking ban
was imposed.
Chairman Menconi stated that this penalty is stiffer than those imposed in the past. He stated that due to
the length of the license he recommended that the two days of active suspension be served on any day of the week.
Commissioner Fisher asked if they intended to close for the off-season. '
The Heidens indicated that they do not intend to close.
Comrriissioner Runyon moved that the Local Licensing Authority suspend the liquor license of CNSC, Inc
d/b/a Main Street Grill for 14 days, holding 12 days in abeyance for a period of one (1) year. If CNSC, Inc d/b/a
Main Street Grill violates the Colorado Liquor Code within the year, all days will be served in addition to any other

and shall; in the future, continue to update the Clerk's records as necessary. Further the applicant would need to
submit an alcohol management plan within the next 30 days.
Comrriissioner Fisher seconded the motion. She added that for consistency basis she recommended that
the penalty include the fact that one of the days served be a Saturday. .
Chairman Menconi disagreed and indicated that he preferred the motion as presented.
Comrriissioner Runyon wondered about mitigating circumstances that would differentiate this
establishment from the Juniper situation.
Chairman Menconi asked if it made a difference to the establishment. He aSked the County Attorney if
consistency was required.
Ms. Hooper recommended that each establishment be reviewed individually. The authority is able to
impose different penalties for different situations; however similar penalties should be \imposed for similar
violations.
Commissioner Runyon agreed that consistency is important and as such amended his motion to include the
provision that one active day of suspension be served on a Saturday.
Chairman Menconi indicated that he had considered the length of the license, but would vote in favor of the
motion.
Commissioner Fisher seconded the amended motion.
The vote to amend the motion was declared unanimous.
The vote on the original motion was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Fisher enooutaged the:Board to meet with the Attorney's office and the Clerk's office to
review licensing requirements to insure compliance for all establishments with current regulations. She wondered
if the county should increase its involvement with liquor license holders in unincorporated Eagle County.
Chairman Menconi agreed that a review of the current policies should occur.

1041-0068 Black Lake #1 Enlan!ement Proiect
Bob Narracci, Planning Department
ACTION:
1041 Permit to allow modifications to the dam spillway to raise the reservoir surface elevation by 4 feet and
increase the capacity of the spillway. The operating plan for the reservoir will also be modified to allow utilization
of approximately 18 acre-feet of storage below the currently established minimum pool. The proposed project will
increase the total storage capacity of Black Lake No.1 to 469 acre-feet and the amount of water available to the
District will increase to 352 acre-feet. The primary purpose and need for the additional reservoir storage in Black
Lake No. 1 is to augment ,water diversions when streamflows in Gore Creek, between the Black Gore Creek and
Red Sandstone Creek tributaries are at or below the Colorado Water Conservation Board instream flow water right
levels.
LOCATION: Headwaters of Black Gore Creek located west of the Vail Pass summit and south ofInterstate~70.

REQUEST:
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District
Linn Schorr, Engineering Manager for ERW &SD
1041 Permit to allow the second enlargement of Black Lake No.1.
1. SUMMARY
This 1041 permit application by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District proposes the second enlargement of
Black Lake No.1. Specifically, the request is to modify the dam spillway to raise the reservoir surface elevation by
4 feet and increase the capacity of the spillway. Additionally, the operational plan for the reservoir will be
modified to allow utilization of approximately 18 acre-feet of storage below the currently established minimum
pool.
The proposed modifications will increase the active storage capacity of Black Lake No. 1 from 227 acre-feet to 352
acre- feet, thereby providing an additional 125 acre-feet of active storage capacity for water rights augmentation of
instream flows in Gore Creek and other uses in the Eagle River. The total storage capacity of the reservoir will be
increased from 362 acre-feet to 469 acre-feet.
The District intends to utilize the 125 acre-feet of additional storage at Black Lake No.1 to provide supplemental
water for the Vail Golf Course and for augmentation of water rights and instream flow purposes during summer,
fall and winter low flow periods. The District further proposes to modify the existing operating plan for the
reservoir to allow more flexible utilization of Black Lakes in a manner that would coordinate releases from storage
with operations of the interconnecting water main and th~ future treatment plant in Vail that would use Dowd
Junction intake water.
The expected public benefits of the proposed second enlargement of Black Lake No. I also include enhanced
reliability of the domestic water supply systems that serve the Town of Vail and other communities along the Eagle
River below Gore Creek. For example, these water supply systems are potentially vulnerable to contamination
from accidents on 1-70 west of Vail Pass or on Highway 24 north of Tennessee Pass. The operational flexibility
25

provided by Black Lakes storage in combination with the other water supply system improvements describedabove
will enhance system reliability in case of such events.
2. BACKGROUND & CHRONOLOGY
1940:
The original reservoir was created by the Colorado Division of Wildlife with constrstion
of a small earth dam at the lower end of a small natural lake. This dam provided 44a;re
feet of storage for recreational purposes.
1986:
A Memorandum of Agreement was created between the District and the Colorado
Department of Natural Resources. Under the Terms of the MOA, the District enlargai
Black Lake No. 1 in 1992 as described below and utilized 73 acre-feet of storage inllack
Lake No.2, providing a total of 300 acre-feet of storage. In addition, the District agRed to
stock Black Lake No.1 with up to 5,000 lbs. of catchable rainbow trout annually amfto
assume responsibility fora portion ofthe structural integrity and maintenance ofthe4ams.
The Colorado Department of Natural Resources agreed that the terms of the MOA WlUld
mitigate potential in stream flow and water quality impacts associated with the District's
use by exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir contract water.
1987:
An Environmental Assessment of the Black Lake Enlargement Project was prepared m:d a
Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact were approved by the U.S. FOEst
Service on August 15, 1987.
1991
A second Environmental Assessment oft.he Black Lake No.1 Enlargement Project was
prepared in 1991' to address changes in the operation of the proposed BlackLake
\,"
enlargement and the wetland mitigation plan that was approved by the U.S. Army C~s of
Engineers.
1991:
Through Resolution No. 91-12, the Board of County Commissioners acting as theEatle
CoUnty PermitAuthority approved the 1041 Permit for the first enlargement of Black Lake
No. 1.
1992

As of this writing, the following agencies have responded:
Eagle County Engineering Department: Please refer to the attached response dated March 6, 2007, wherein the
need for a Grading Permit is identified.
E~gle' County Department of Environmental Health: The Environmental Health Department helped in the
preparation of the staff report and analysis of the project and would say that all necessary findWgs have been met to
our satisfaction. Overall, this project would provide in-basin storage at the headwaters at a relatively low cost with
little environmental degradation. The benefits far exceed the detriments. WewouLd encourage the applicant to
have Dust Suppression, Storm Water Management and Erosion Control Plans submitted along with the grading
permit application for review and approval. These plans should be kept on-site and enforceable to effectively
mitigate adversarial impacts. We would also ask the applicant to time construction activities with the Division of
Wildlife to avoid unnecessary impacts to spawning trout., In addition, we would ask that a report be submitted
ahnuallyregarding the success of wetland mitigation until such time as the 1: 1 ratio of replacement or protection is
accomplished.
Eagle County Planning Commission: At the Eagle County Planning Commission hearing on March 7, 2007 the
Planning Commission provided the following comments and recommendations:
1) That the Bla.ck La.kes should be dredged to remove the built-up 1-70 traction sand which is deposited in the
lakes. How rnuch storage capacity can be reclaimed if the lake were to be dredged? It should not be
necessary in the future to raise the reservoirleve1again due to storage capacity lost to I~70traction sartd.
The amount of traction sand accumulation should be tracked and reported annually to the Ea.gle Courtty
Department of Environmental Health.
2) How is the balance 117 acre-feet managed? What entity OWIlS the rights to the 117 acre-feet?
3) Currently there is no accountability or enforceability for wetland mitigation. What is the recourse when
mitigation plans fail to achieve the represented goal? The ECPC recommends that the applicant be
required to provide the County with a Performance Guarantee to ensure that the wetland mitigation is
completed and that it is successfully established. Further, the applicant must provide the Eagle County
Department of Environmental Health with an annual review, prepared by a qualified wetland expert, until
such time that the wetland mitigation measures have been completely established and then the Performance
Guarantee will be released.
4) Stressed that the new capacity proposed with this Black Lake No.1, Expansion No.2 will not be utilized
for sale for new development.
5) Part of the fen wetland mitigation proposed is on Ten Mile Creek near Copper Mountain; are there no fens
on Gore Creek? Mitigation should be in the same drainage basin.
6) Overall" this proposal is a good deal for Eagle County to have storage at the headwaters and particularly in
this basin.
Colorado Division of Wildlife: In a telephone conversation on March 1,2007, Bill Andree with the Colorado
Division of Wildlife indicated that the CD OW has no issues with this proposal to enlarge Black'Lake No.1.
United St~tes Forest Service: In a telephone conversation on March 5, 2007, the USFS verified that the applicant
has been working closely with the USFS and that the necessary permit is pending later this spring.

The Project will not significantly degrade air quality. Eagle County is currently in attainment of all
National Ambient Air Quality standards and no new sources of air pollution are being proposed. .
Construction related air quality effects will be short term in nature (:s 30 days) and will be minimized to a
level of relative insignificance through the use of Best Management Practices to control fugitive dust and
minimize emissions.
[+] FINDING: (13) Air aualitv. The Project WILL NOT significantly degrade air quality.
(14) The Project will not significantly degrade exi~ting visual quality.
With the exception ofa temporary period of time during construction and following construction until the
vegetation in disturbed areas around the dam and spillway is reestablished the visual appearance of the
enlarged reservoir will be essentially the same as the existing reservoir.
[+] FINDING: (14) Visual aualitv. The Project WILL NOT significantly degrade visual quality.
(15) The Project will not significantly degrade surface water quality.
The construction activities associated with installation of the temporary culvert, widening of the spillWay
and installation of the spillway weir may cause temporary increases in sedimentation due to erosion from
disturbed areas. This impact will be limited to the Black Gore Creek downstream to Black Lake No.2.
Lowering ofthe reservoir prior to construction will help to prevent erosion from the construction activities
in the spillway. During constrg.ction, erosion control Best Management Practices will be implemented to
minimize sedimentation to Bl~ck Gore Creek, as required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
under the applica1j>le provisions of the Section 401 Certification required by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division.
The proposed project includes rock lining of portions of the spillway and revegetation of all disturbed
areas including some areas that are currently subject to erosion. In addition, the wetland mitigation plan
includes the restoration of areas disturbed by recreational traffic at the upper end of the reservoir and in
the area below the dam. These improvements will result in a net reduction in sediment loading to Gore
Creek and Black Lake No.1.
[+] FINDING: (15) Surface water aualitv. The Project WILL NOT significantly degrade surface water quality.
(16) The Project will not significantly degrade groundwater quality.
The Project will raise the maximum normal water surface elevation of Black Lake No.1 by four feet.
This will result in an associated rise in the ground water table elevation in the area immediately
surroundin.g the reservoir. The geology of the land that is to be inundated is composed of the same type of
soil and rock that is already covered by the reservoir.
[+] FINDING: .(16) Ground water aualitv, The Project WILL NOT significantly degrade ground water quality.
(17) The Project will not significantly degrade wetlands and riparian areas.
The 4-foot increase in the surface elevation of the reservoir will result in the inundation of 0.755 acres of
riparian and wetland area including 0.098 acres offen wetlands that are located along the shoreline ofthe
32
3/13/07
existing reservoir. The primary functions of these wetland areas include food chain support; fish and
wildlife habitat and heritage and recreational values. Secondary functions include maintenance of water
quality, groundwater recharge and discharge, shoreline anchoring and dissipation of erosive forces.
The wetland impacts will be effectively mitigated. Functions including fish habitat, groundwater recharge
and discharge, shoreline anchoring and dissipation of erosive forces will be replaced by the enlarged
reservoir and by new riparian wetland vegetation that will be established-around the shoreline of the
enlarged reservoir. The wetland mitigation plan prepared for this Project has been reviewed and approved
in concept by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service. The mitigation plan
includes the creation of 0.88 acres of on-site wetlands and 0.236 acres of restoration that will fully replace
the food chain and wildlife habitat functions of the wetlands impacted by the Project. The plan involves
on-site reestablishment of riparian vegetation around the shoreline of the enlarged reservoir, the
restoration of degraded wetlands and fringe areas and the creation of new wetlands below the dam.
Educational signage will be installed at Black Lake No. I to inform the public about the purpose of the
boardwalk and the habitat, heritage and other functions and values of fens and wetlands.
The Eagle County Planning Commission is concerned that currently there is no accountability or
enforceability for wetland mitigation. What is the recourse when mitigation plans fail to achieve the
represented goal? The ECPCrecomIllends that the applicant be required to provide the County with a
Performance Guarantee to ensure that the wetland mitigation is completed and that it is successfully
established. Further, the applicant must provide the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health
with an annual review, prepared by a qualified wetland expert, until such time that the wetland mitigation
measures havebeen completely established and then the Perfonnance Guarantee will be released.
Also noted by the Eagle County Planning Commission; part of the fen wetland mitigation proposed is on
Tenmile Creek near Copper Mountain. The applicant's efforts to locate a suitable fen mitigation site in
the Gore Creek and Eagle River Basins are documented in Appendix B of the Black Lake No.1
Enlargement Project Environmental Assessment (Application Exhibit B). Based upon this investigation,
it was found that there are no suitable mitigation sites on Gore Creek and that the Tenmile Creek site was
the only available site in close proximity to the Project.
(+] FINDING: (17) Wetlands and rioarian areas. The Project WILL NOT significantly degrade wetlands and riparian areas.
(18) The Project will not significantly degrade terrestrial or aquatic animal life or its habitats.
The Proj ect will impact 1.743 acres of wildlife habitat in the area immediately surrounding the reservoir
and spillway. The habitat values of the area are somewhat diminished due to the high level of human
activity associated with 1-70, The Vail Pass Rest Area and recreational usage of Black Lakes and the
adjacent bicycle path. Impacts to big game are minimal because these areas are not used by big game
species excepting a very limited extent during the SumIller months.
ImpactS to non-game wildlife habitat will be mitigated through on-site reestablishment of riparian
vegetation around the shoreline of the enlarged reservoir, the restoration of degraded wetlands and fringe
areas and the creation of new wetlands adjacent to the reservoir ~ below the dam.
The Environmental Assessment prepared for this Project concludes that the Project will be beneficial to
fall-spawning brown and brook trout in Gore Creek and Black Gore Creek due to increased wetted area of
the stream bottom resulting from additional reservoir releases. Further, critical over-wintering habitat for
adult trout will be increased due to increased flows. The proposed Project has been reviewed and
approved by the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the Wildlife Commission.

The Eagle County Planning Commission noted that the Black Lakes should be dredged to remove the
built-up 1-70 traction sand which is deposited in the lakes. They question how much storage capacity can
be reclaimed if the lake were to be dredged. It should not be necessary in the future to raise the reservoir
level again due to storage capacity lost to 1-70 traction sand. The impacts of sedimentation to Black Lakes
and Black Gore Creek from 1-70 are to be addressed through development and implementation of a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), which should be completed by the end of2007. The amount of traction
sand accumulation in Black Lakes should be tracked by CDOT in conjunction with implementation of the

The applicant has requested awaiver of the Special Use Review Permit requirements as such application would
serve no further legitimate planning, zoning or other land use objective.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Narracci presented the file with the use of a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation included a
vicinity map and summary of the applicant's request. The applicant is requesting to modify the spillway to raise
the reservoir surface elevation by 4 feet and increase the spillway capacity. Operational plan for the reservoir is
also to be modified to allow utilization of approximately 18 acre-feet of storage below the currently established
minimum pool. The modification would allow flexibility that would' enable coordinated releases of stored water
with operations of th~ interconnecting water main and the future treatment plant in' Vail that would use Dowd
Junction intake water. Raising,the dam elevation and modifying the operating plan would allow 125 additional
acre- feet of active storage capacity for water rights augmentation of in stream flows in Gore Creek and other uses in
the Eagle River. This 1041 permit proposal was referred to 16 local, state and federal a.gencies. He stated that all
necessary [mdings had been satisfied. The Environmental Health Department believes the project would provide
in-basin storage at the headways at a relatively low cost with little environmental degradation. The benefits far
exceed the detriments. The Eagle County Planning Commission believes that overall the proposal is a good deal for
Eagle County. Staff believes that each of the 32 approval criteria for this permit application had been satisfied. He
presented a map that indicated the current water and post project water levels. Only a temporary wetland
disturbance is expected.
Ray Merry, Environmental Health Director spoke about stream flow and cost. He believes that there would
be very little cost but would provide a lot of operational flexibility. He believes it's a great opportunity for little
environmental consequence and flexibility in maintaining aquatic life in Gore Creek. He believes that the tr;:tction
sand brought up by the Planning Commission is small impact in the overall capacity.
Lin Schorr, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Technical Director spoke about the inception of the
project and the analysis of the 2002 drought conditions. The analysis indicated a need to expand some of the
reservoirs. As part of the planning process, the district revisited the current operating plan. The new water plan
., ,..)
37
3/13/07
would allow for water to be release in the summer while still maintaining enough volume in the reservoir to
augment winter stream flows during the drought years.
Bob Weaver, Hydrosphere Resource Consultants spoke. He was responsible for preparing the permit
applications under the direction of Ms. Schorr. They concur with staffs findings and recommended permit
conditions. '
Commissioner Fisher wondered about the Planning Commissions question regarding who owns the rights
to the 117 acre-feet.
Mr. Weaver stated that ERW&SD owns conditional water rights for the enlargement of Black Lake No.1.
Once the enlargement is completed, the district will file a petition with the water court to make those storage rights
absolute.
Commissioner Runyon wondered why they decided on 4 feet.
Mr. Weaver stated that safety requirements had to be considered. From a construction stand point it would
be cost effective but would increase the impact on the wetlands. They would get some additional yield but it
wouldn't always be dependable. The.conclusion, it wasn't worth the effort to go more than 4 feet.
Commissioner Menconi asked for -ahy fmal comments before opening the file up to public cortnnent.
Mr. Weaver suggested that condition 5 be re-visited. He believed that the annual report submittal may be
more information than is necessary. .
Mr. Merry suggested revising condition 5. He suggested an annual report be submitted but the contents of
the report be at the discretion of the Environmental Health Department. He suggested that the report reflect
environmental mitigation.
Commissioner Menconi stated that he understands condition 5 to read that an annual report needs to be
submitted on an annual basis until the 1: 1 ratio is reached.
Mr. Merry stated that the original permit being amended requires that they submit a report to the county
that has a lot of unnecessary information. He would like to amend condition 5 to only require pertinent information
be submitted.
Mr. Narracci suggested that the condition 5 require an annual report be submitted to the Department of
Environmental Health regarding environmental mitigations.
Mr. Merry suggested that the condition read as follows. An annual report that accompanies the operations
of the reservoir be amended to include an assessment ofenvironmenta1 mitigations and the success of those
mitigations as deemed appropriate by the Department of Environmental Health.
Conunissioner Runyon wondered if the previous 1041 should be amended firSt.
Mr.Metty stated that the current 1041 permit is actually an amendment of Black Lake No.1 enlargement
proj ect. number one.
Mr. Morris suggested that the County Attorneys Office and Mr. Merry work with the applicant to prepare
language that would be mutually acceptable.
Mr. Weaver agreed and stated that there were currently several mechanisms for enforcement and
accountability.
Chairman Menconi opened and closed public comment, as there were none.
Commissioner Fisher asked Mr. Weaver if there was a bit of hesitancy as far as having the additional
reporting or an ongoing reporting requirement.
Mr. Weaver stated that it's a bit burdensome to compile all the information necessary for reporting under
the currently effective permit.
Commissioner Fisher wondered about the condition 4 regarding the construction activities being timed
with the Division of Wildlife.
Mr. Weaver stated that the reservoir water level would be drawn down during construction. The spawning
season typically starts in October so their goal is to start construction after the Labor Day weekend in September
and finish within a few weeks. The construction of the project is simple and can be completed in less than 30 days.
Commissioner Runyon wondered about the reporting and the unintended consequences that may occur in
the future.
Mr. Weaver stated that he js comfortable working with Mr. Merry to resolve any of the concerns or issues
regarding the reporting process.
Chairman Menconi went through each of the staff findings provided in the staff report. The staff report
indicated that all staff finding were positive with a few that were not applicable.
