BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO
o
RESOLUTION NO. 2016- 01 0
RESOLUTION FOR APPROVAL OF A 1041 PERMIT AMENDMENT ALLOWING
MAJOR EXTENSION OF A SEWER LINE
TO THE SYLVAN LAKE CIRCLE PROJECT LOCATED WITHIN THE TOWN OF
EAGLE ON THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF SYLVAN LAKE ROAD AND
HIGHWAY 6.
(fka: the EWING PARCEL)
File Number 1041-6373
WHEREAS, in July 2016, the Town of Eagle submitted to the Eagle County Department
of Community Development the "Application" for approval of an Amended 1041 Permit for the
extension of an existing Town of Eagle wastewater treatment system across the Green A cres
Mobile Home Park parcel to serve the Sylvan Lake Circle property.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners ("the Board"), in its capacity as the
Eagle County Permit Authority, conducted a public hearing on December 9, 2008 and approved
the original 1041 Permit Application(Eagle County File No. 1041-1547/West Eagle Addition
Ewing Parcel); which is proposed to be amended; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this requested 1041 Permit Amendment is twofold:
1) The point where the sewer main crosses Brush Creek is now proposed to be moved to a
location to the east of the formerly approved crossing location. This is being proposed
because the area where the crossing was identified back in 2008, now has naturally
rejuvenated riparian and wetland characteristics that did not exist in 2008. As such, an
alternate crossing location was identified where the existing riparian and wetland
characteristics are not as defined, resulting in reduced impacts.
The proposed sewer main extension will not create any permanent impacts to the
wetlands or riparian habitat of Brush Creek. The proposed sewer line would temporarily
impact 1,414 square feet of wetlands north of Brush Creek, within the Town of Eagle.
These impacts will be restored in place. A four square foot impact to the palustrine
emergent persistent wetland on the south side of Brush Creek in unincorporated Eagle
County will be restored by replacing the salvaged palustrine emergent •ersistent wetland

sod. The substrate excavated from the bottom of Brush Creek in the area of the
temporary aquatic impact will be replaced following pipeline installation and the
streambed will be returned to its approximate original elevation.
Additionally, a riparian mitigation site will be created to comply with the intent of
Conditions 2 and 3 of the 2008 1041 Permit approval. The goal is to reestablish the
riparian habitat that has been eliminated within the easement area on the south side of
Brush Creek. Alternatively, an equivalent riparian habitat creation area will be
established on the north side of Brush Creek if an agreement is not reached with the
Mobile Home Park owner to complete the riparian mitigation work within the existing
easement area.
The proposed sewer main crossing was selected to minimize the temporary impacts to
wetlands and the aquatic habitat of Brush Creek. In designing the crossing, several
alternative sewer alignments were evaluated. The proposed sewer line alignment crosses
the stream bank in a narrow area between two lobes of wetland that extend north from the
channel. The preferred sewer alignment minimizes the temporary impacts to wetlands
while meeting the requirements of the Town of Eagle to provide sufficient soil cover on
top of the sewer line.
Where the sewer line crosses Brush Creek, a trench box will be used to minimize the
width of the trench to 20 feet and hence the area of disturbance to the streambed. Best
management practices will be utilized to minimize siltation into Brush Creek, including
the use of silt fencing, erosion logs, and other procedures outlined in Eagle County's
Erosion Control Standards. Fixed-axle storage tanks with bag filtration units would be
used to remove suspended sediments from water encountered during excavation before it
would be returned to the creek. Pumps will also be used to convey water from the
cofferdam back into Brush Creek downstream of the work area to maintain the stream
flow. The duration of construction crossing Brush Creek is expected to take about ten,
days and will be timed to avoid trout spawning.
The Sylvan Lake Circle Project has been approved by the Town of Eagle under the Major
Development Permit process and is consistent with land use provisions within the Town
of Eagle. The Project is in compliance with the Town standards for water quality. The
Colorado Discharge Permit System, Stormwater Discharges Associated with
Construction Activity Permit, and the Stormwater Management/Best Management
Practices Plan will ensure that the sediment control measures for both the temporary
construction impacts and for the permanent completed project will be in place to prevent
sediment from leaving the site and will result in protecting surface water quality.
A draft Riparian Management Plan for the open space easement has been prepared for the
Town of Eagle by Western Ecological Resource, Inc. and has been included as part of the
application. The Town will prepare the final Riparian Management Plan following
acquisition of the open space parcel that was created as part of the development review
process. The open space parcel parallels Brush Creek and encompasses the riparian and
wetland areas. The Riparian Management Plan will reflect the Town's desire to protect
2
and enhance stream health while allowing public access for recreational uses at focused
points between trail systems and streams.
2) The number of dwelling units approved by the Town within the Project has now
increased to 42 residential townhomes.
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has evaluated the Application.
Based upon detailed information provided by the applicant, the Director has determined that a
Finding of No Significant Impact IS APPROPRIATE in this instance for the following reasons:
1) No mitigation, above and beyond what was contemplated with the original 1041 Permit
approval will be required.
2) Significant adverse impacts to the County are unlikely;
3) The proposed 1041 Permit Amendment satisfies the applicable Permit Application
Approval Criteria as delineated in Section 6.04 of the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations.
4) The original conditions of approval are still applicable, and will be satisfied.
WHEREAS, Legal Notice was provided of the Community Development Director's
determination that a Finding of No Significant Impact(FONSI) IS APPROPRIATE pursuant to
Chapter VI, Eagle County Land Use Regulations, Guidelines and Regulations for Areas and
Activities of State Interest, Section 6.03.03.(1) of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
WHEREAS, following the fourteen(14) day legal notice call-up period, no comment has
been received, nor has the Application been called-up.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO
