BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. 91-
APPROVAL OF THE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT
THE REGIONAL SOLIDS PROCESSING FACILITY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS
6.04, MAJOR EXTENSION OF AN EXISTING DOMESTIC
SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEMS
i�
r
WHEREAS, the Squaw Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant ( "WWTP") is
located on the 3.14 acre site that is proposed for the "Regional Solids
Processing Facility ( "RSPF"), thus RSPF will be an integral part of
WWTP operations and will not appear as a separate facility; and
WHEREAS, this site was originally permitted for the WWTP in 1980,
Special Use Permit, File No. Zs- 115 -80 and then again in 1985 for
expansion of the Squaw Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant, Resolution
No. 85 -27; and
WHEREAS, this is not a new domestic sewage treatment system,
however, the sludge management facility at the existing Squaw Creek
WWTP will result in the proper utilization of the existing WWTP's in
the development and source development area.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY
OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO, MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
THAT, the proposed development does not conflict with the
approved Eagle County piaster Flan and the Edwards Sub -Area Plan nor
any Federal or State land use or water plans; and
THAT, the proposed development will not adversely affect
water rights of upstream or downstream users; and
THAT, the existing domestic sewage treatment facilities are
currently overloaded and must be expanded in order to properly
stabilize the sewage sludge; and
THAT, the proposed project will not compete with existing
sewage services or create duplicate services as the sludge processing
will be consolidated to provide more efficient and improved sludge
stabilization; and
r

r, 3
THAT, this is not a proposal to replace existing treatment
systems, however, the operational efficiency and level of treatment- -
warrant the addition of sludge processing at the Squaw Creek WWTP; and
THAT, the Community development and population trends
clearly demonstrate a need for an improved sludge processing facility
and the operational information submitted by the applicant indicates
a need for the proposed project; and
THAT, this project is an integral part of the larger waste
water treatment system and will improve the district's ability to meet
discharge permit conditions; and
THAT, appropriate easements can be obtained for any
associated collector system that will serve existing and proposed
needs; and
THAT, the benefits of the proposed development outweigh the
losses of any natural resources or agricultural lands rendered
unavailable as a result of the proposed development; and
THAT, the new facility will not affect discharges to the
Eagle River from either the Vail, Avon or Squaw Creek WWTP facilities
as all on site drainage around the sludge load out area will be
collected and processed by the Squaw Creek facility; and
THAT, the expansion should. not affect the air quality in
the area as the facility will be totally enclosed with provisions for
odor control; and
THAT, no known aquatic habitats, marshlands, wetlands, grou-
ndwater recharge areas, steeply sloping or unstable terrain, forest and
woodlands, critical wildlife habitats, big game migratory routes,
calving grounds, migratory ponds, nesting areas, the habitats of rare
and endangered species or public out -door recreation areas will be
impacted by this project; and
MA _T, the proposed development will not create an undue
financial burden on existing or future residents within the development
area; and
THAT, the construction of structures, building, and improve-
ments associated with the proposed development will not significantly
impact existing or proposed communities within the development area and
source development area if the staff conditions are implemented and
odor control is installed as needed.
