Pat Sullivan (303) 866-3521 FAX: 866-3855 TDD: 866.3472 September 14, 1993 This analysis of the statewide measure to be decided at the 1993 general election has been prepared by the Colorado Legislative Council as a public service to members of the General Assembly and the general public pursuant to section 2-3-303, Colorado Revised Statutes. One proposed statutory proposal -reinstatement of sales tax on tourist-related purchases - is on the statewide ballot for November 2. This measure was referred for vote of the people by the General Assembly. The provisions of this ballot proposal are set forth, with general comments on their application and effect. Careful attention has been given to arguments both for and against the proposal in an effort to present both sides of the issue. While all arguments for and against the proposal may not have been included, major arguments have been set forth so that each citizen may decide the relative merits of the proposal. The Legislative Council takes no position, pro or con, with respect to the merits of this proposal. In listing, the ARGUMENTS FOR and the ARGUMENTS AGAINST, the Council is merely putting forth arguments relating to the proposal. The quantity of the FOR and the AGAINST paragraphs listed for the proposal is not to be interpreted as an indication or inference of Council sentiment. Respectfully submitted, Representative Paul D.

Provisions of the Proposed Statute The proposed amendment to the Colorado Revised Statutes would: - reinstate the sales tax of two-tenths of one percent (0.2%) on specified tourist-related goods and services, which tax is in addition to the state and local sales taxes, for the purpose of funding statewide tourism marketing and promotional programs under the Colorado Tourism Board. (The tax rate of two-tenths of one percent amounts to 20 cents on $100.00 or 2 cents on a $10.00 purchase.) ]Background on the Proposal Amendment 1, the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) adopted by the voters in 1992, requires voter approval of a new tax or an extension of a tax that is scheduled to expire. The "tourism tax," by statute, expired on June 30, 1993. The question on reinstating this tax is the first such question presented to the voters in a statewide election under TABOR. The tax on tourist-related purchases is a sales tax of two-tenths of one percent (0.2%) levied on purchases considered related to the tourism industry -lodging services, restaurant food and drink sales, ski lift tickets, private tourist attraction admission tickets, rental automobiles, and sightseeing and tour bus ticket sales. Taxes on tourist-related purchases had been collected until July 1, 1993, by 12,500 businesses in Colorado. These tax collections were in addition to the state and local sales taxes imposed on the services and products listed. The original law, enacted in 1983, imposed a tax rate of one-tenth of one percent. The rate was increased in 1987 to the two-tenths of one percent rate. Revenues from this tax have been transferred to the Colorado tourism promotion fund for use by the Colorado Tourism Board. Receipts from the tourism promotion tax have shown steady increases since the tax was initiated in 1983, with spending authority for the board totaling $11.2 million for fiscal year 1992-93. -1- .Programs of the Tourism Board are continuing through the November, 1993 election, using funds from 1992-93 which were budgeted for an 18-month period. Tourism in Colorado Each year Colorado is visited by millions of visitors from across the country and around the world. They are joined by hundreds of thousands of Coloradans who also become tourists iri Colorado. In 1992, an estimated 14.8 million individuals visited Colorado for pleasure travel, with overnight stays. The greatest number of tourists were from Colorado (21%), followed by visitors from California (11%); Texas (8%), and Illinois (4%). An estimated 115,000 jobs were supported directly by this industry in 1992. This represents 6.5 percent of the work force but a smaller share of the state's payroll, 4.8 percent. The amount of money spent in Colorado by vacationers and business travelers has increased each year since 1987, from $5.1 billion in 1987 to an estimated $6.4 billion in 1992 (inflationadjusted to 1992 dollars). This represents a compound average annual growth rate of 4.7 percent. According to the Tourism Board, total tax revenue generated by tourism in 1992 was an estimated $406 million. Of this amount, state tax revenue totaled $246 million; local tax revenue generated was $160 million. The Colorado Tourism Board The Colorado Tourism Board is charged with expending money from the tourism promotion fund for the "...planning, advertising, promotion, assistance, and development of tourism and travel industries in this state Proceeds from the fund also cover the operational and other expenses of the board, as there are no other tax funds available to the board. The board consists of seven members -five appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. These members represent each of the major tourism .industries (lodging, food and beverage, ski, private tourist attractions, and transportation). Tivo legislative members serve on the board, one member of the Senate appointed by the President of the Senate, and a member of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House. Funds expended by the Tourism Board are used for advertising, management of the six visitor centers located in Colorado border cities, sales promotions for tour operators and travel agents, financial assistance to the seven travel promotion regions of the state, and technical assistance to individual tourism businesses. Other activities include market research, development of international travel in Colorado, and responding to travel inquiries about Colorado. The Tourism Board has established a policy that requires at least one-half of the funds each year to be used for advertising, an amount totaling $5.4 million in fiscal year 1992-93. The second-largest expenditure was $1.5 million for responding to requests for information. Approximately 850,000 requests were handled last year. The visitor centers are located in six communities near the Colorado borders - -Burlington, Cortez, Dinosaur, Fruita, Lamar, and Trinidad. Additional centers are planned for Fort Collins and Julesburg. Each center has one full-time manager who is an employee of the Tourism Board. The primary staffing of the centers is provided -2- 1 ~ by approximately 400 community volunteers who are in direct contact with the public. The centers assisted over 750,000 travelers in 1992. Arguments For ~ 1) The tourism tax promotes the tourism industry, one of the largest economic sectors in Colorado. In some areas of rural Colorado, tourism is the only industry. The figures for tourist related business are impressive in terms of the number of jobs created, the $6.4 billion for the state's economy, and the contributions to the state and local tax base. Increases in this industry positively affect multiple related industries such as food service, construction, and retail businesses. To eliminate the tourism tax which helps promote such a vital industry in Colorado would be an economic mistake. 2) The Tourism Board advertises Colorado as a destination with multiple attractions and diverse activities. Industry groups believe that no other advertising is presenting the state's diversity in this way. A goal of the Tourism Board is that, when people visit the state because they know of its many attractions, the various segments of the industry will then have a chance to compete for their business. Failure to continue the operations of the Tourism Board would jeopardize the state's effort to attract visitors because no other organization could fill the need of advertising Colorado as avisitor-destination location. One of the objectives of the Tourism Board has been to have potential vacationers place Colorado on their priority list for vacations. To accomplish this objective, the Tourism Board conducts its advertising and contacts travel writers and agencies throughout the United States and in some foreign countries. These efforts have been successful through changing the misperception that the mountains are the only attraction in Colorado and that the state is a cold place to visit. Changing the ideas of people long distances away so that they will consider Colorado as a place to visit year around requires money for advertising and for other forms of publicity. The general fund appropriation for advertising for tourism for fiscal year 1982-83, the last year before the tourism tax, was $550,000, compared with the $9.7 million spent from tourism tax receipts in 1992-93. Given the state's other obligations and the fiscal constraints on spending, it is unlikely that general fund money of any magnitude would be appropriated for this purpose. 3) V sitor welcome centers supported by the tourism tax are valuable resources to tourist businesses, large and small. Located at six of the gateway cities in Colorado, these centers are successful in attracting motorists to stay longer and to spend more money in Colorado. The volunteers who greet the visitors are well-trained and knowledgeable and represent a vital part of the state's promotional activities. One of the advantages of the visitor centers has been to provide inexpensive means of showcasing smaller businesses and attractions that cannot afford to join the large promotional organizations. Colorado would be risking the loss of a significant resource by ending its share of the funding of these centers. 4) Tourism industry groups attribute growth in their businesses to programs of the Tourism Board. For example, surveys conducted by the dude and guest ranch association report an increase in occupancy for their lodgings from 72 percent to 85 -3- percent in the last six years. The largest proportion -forty percent - of the inquiries concerning these facilities originate from the vacation planning guide offered by the Tourism Board. The cabin and campground association mails approximately 30,000 directories each year, over 80 percent of which are in response to out-of-state inquiries. Of the cazds returned to the association, over half originated with information from the tourism Board. Discontinuation of the Tourism Board would mean that over half of the inquiries the association receives about camping and cabins in Colorado might not reach people interested in visiting Colorado. 5) If the Colorado tourism program were to end, some loss of tourism might be experienced in the well-established tourist destinations, but the impact could be severe in smaller, less-developed parts of the tourist industry< Activities of the board make it possible for lodges, restaurants, recreational facilities, and historical and cultural events to become known to tourists who would not learn of these attractions from any other source. Many persons who aze indirectly involved in tourism could be economically affected by a decline in tourism. These groups include taxi drivers, rental car employees, and restaurant workers. Other sources of publicity for Colorado attractions could be lost. The Tourism Board works with travel writers and travel agents to inform them about tourism opportunities in Colorado. These groups represent valuable sources of information to the traveling public throughout the nation and in other countries, and these contacts also provide free publicity for the state in their travel articles or when talking with clients. The potential loss of contacts with these two groups could be detrimental to both large and small tourism businesses. 6) A significant portion of the taxis paid by visitors from other states and from other countries. These visitors receive some services while in Colorado, e.g., transportation, infrastructure, and police protection, so an extra tax is not an inappropriate burden. A tax levied on tourist-related goods and services is appropriate when the tax receipts can be used for the economic benefit of Colorado. Arguments Against 1) The burden of this tax, commonly called the "tourism promotion tax," is not bdrne by nonresident tourists as much as the name might imply. The largest source of tax revenue is received from restaurant food purchases, a source that is paid mainly by Colorado citizens. The tax is imposed on neighborhood and fast food restaurants, visited primarily by the resident population, as well as at restaurants in hotels and resort facilities. Likewise, while Colorado attracts skiers from throughout the world, a significant number of lift tickets, with the tourism tax included, are sold to Colorado residents. Thus, even if it were a good idea for the state to have tourists pay for tourism promotion, that idea is not applicable in regard to many of the purchases subject to this tax. 2) This tax is levied for the benefit of one industry. While tourism is undoubtedly important to Colorado, there is no reason to expect the public to pay for promotional activities so that persons engaged in this industry receive preferential benefits from tax collections that other businesses do not receive. Colorado retailers, railroads, or the coal industry, as examples, do not have tax sources that promote their products. -4- If the ski industry wants to advertise, it has a membership association that is very effective in attracting people to the slopes. Chambers of commerce, private businesses, visitor and convention bureaus, and trade association groups can keep Colorado's name before the public. 3) If the tax were not reinstated, the state could make up the difference for the tourism promotional activities that it deems important for the economy of the state. As one example, the budget for operation of the visitor centers is just over $600,000 per year, a low amount because of the willingness of volunteers to staff the centers. If the tax is not reinstated, the General Assembly could review the activities that are now undertaken and could decide how the state will get "the biggest bang for the buck" with limited funding. The legislative appropriation for fiscal year 1982-83, for example, included cash fund grants from members of the tourism industry of $500,000, with a provision that state funds could not be spent unless matched by private funds. This example illustrates that all options for funding the Tourism Board may not end if the tax was not reinstated. The General Assembly will evaluate the value received from tourism promotion and weigh this activity against other needs. There is no restriction on the ability of the legislature to appropriate general fund dollars for tourism promotion. 4) Tourism in Colorado is a function of many factors, including the quality of the snow for the ski season, economic conditions throughout the United States and in foreign countries, and perceptions of physical safety in Colorado and in other tourist destinations. Spending by the state of $4 to $5 million a year for advertising is a questionable use of taxpayer money. 5) The earmarking of tax collections to funding a single agency is a questionable policy. Earmarking of revenues may result in the spending of all of the available revenue, regardless of need. Information from other states on projected state tourism promotion spending for 1992-93 shows that Colorado ranks seventh highest in the projected advertising budgets per capita and is sixth in the total budget for advertising. The six states with higher per capita advertising expenditures all are less populated than Colorado (including Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota), and have fewer dollars appropriated, but on a per capita basis, spend more than Colorado for tourism advertising. For Colorado, actual expenditures increased 21 percent from fiscal year 1987-88 to fiscal year 1991-92 (from $8.5 million to $10.3 million}.The present level of spending could be reduced to be more in line with that of other states, but the Tourism Board receives all of the dollars collected from this tax, subject to legislative appropriation. 6) The tax under consideration is substantial in the amount collected. If the tax were to produce, conservatively, $12 million a year, and calculated to grow at 4 percent average per year, the tax will raise over $300 million over a 20-year period. Tourism tax receipts do not directly contribute to the infrastructure nor do they provide essential services to the public. This amount of tax revenue could be kept by the people who would decide for themselves what purchases to make or, if taken by the government, could be used for programs more essential to the public at large. -5- IPI~~II~B~Ca A~9® E~I!!IR®IdMEF@~PA~.

The Town Council is scheduled to adopt the $25.5 million performance-based budget following a public hearing on Nov. 2. As a result of the new budgeting technique, residents, developers, tourists and others impacted by the town's day-to-day services will be surveyed throughout the year to evaluate the town's responsiveness, friendliness and other service level goals. "This is a great way to step back and ask the community 'how are we doing?' said Acting Town fVianager Larry Grafel. "1IVe would hope to be doing well, but if we're not, this process allows us to make improvements continuously rather than having to wait for the next budget cycle." Customer surveys will be used by all departments and will represent a wide cross- section of services, including police and fire response, library usage, transit service, building permits, and municipal court operations. # # # u e4 T®i~IOF VAIL y 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2100 FAX 303-479-2157 ff=®~ BMNBE®Ie~TE RELEASE October 20, 1993 Contact: Larry Grafel 479-2105 Steve Thompson 479-2119 f~RO~OSE® 1994 El9®GEll' RNA,11~~',~IPlS SERVECE LEVELS t~1N® RE®l1CES NI1LL LEVY, (Vail)--The Town of Vail's 9994 proposed budget includes an increase in the town's transit service, but otherwise maintains service levels established in 1993. The budget also reduces the town's mill levy from 6.35 mills to 6.19 mills to comply with provisions of Amendment 1. The Town Council is scheduled to adopt the $25.5 million budget on Nov. 2. The proposed operating budget represents a eve percent increase over 1993, and is well within the limitations established by Amendment 1. Finance Director Steve Thompson said the 1994 request is $62,312 below the estimated cap allowed by the state spending lid. "It is important to remember that Amendment 1 is primarily a revenue limitation measure as it restricts the amount of revenue a town can keep," Thompson said. "Amendment 1 does not prevent a government from spending more than its revenues if it has adequate fund balances." Also, because of an eight percent growth in assessed valuation this year, the mill levy is being lowered in 1994 so as not to exceed Amendment 1 revenue levels. The mill levy can not be increased without voter approval. The town's largest revenue source, sales tax, is budgeted at a base level increase of 4.5 percent in 1994 over projected 1993 receipts. In 1992, sales tax revenues increased by only 2.9 percent. Real Estate Transfer Tax revenue estimates also are conservative with $1.3 (more) 1994 BUDGET/ADD 1 million budgeted for 1994, compared with $1.7 million projected for 1993. Overall, the town's revenue budget is increasing five percent over 1993. On the expense side, the new budget proposes the addition of 5.52 full time equivalent employees. All positions are seasonal, including 1.9 positions to cover added bus service. Total salary and wage costs for existing personnel are budgeted at five percent over 1993. Maximum merit increases are proposed at six percent, the same as in 1993. The 1994 budget also proposes spending 19 percent of the total budget on capital projects, an increase of seven percent over the 1993 budget. The list includes street improvements, several bridge replacements, development of a master land use plan and improvements to the West Vail interchange. In addition, the 1994 budget establishes an enterprise fund for the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures. The move allows the structures to function as an independent operation. Enterprise funds are exempt from provisions of Amendment 1 and can only be subsidized up to 10 percent with other town revenues.

POST (3031 645.9135 October 21, 1993 Ms. Kristan Pritz ' DIRECTOR OF COMMUATITY DEVELOPMENT TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road. Vail, Colorado 81657 ' Dear Kristan: Thank you for touring the Nottingham offered lands portion of the proposed Piney Valley Ranches Trust land exchange with us last week. As you requested, enclosed are tentative maps delineating the exchange as well as a "White Paper" explaining who would get what. We believe that the proposed exchange may be of interest to the Town~of Vail and are hopeful that we might secure the Town Council'_s support. In particular, we note that if the exchange proceeds as presently configured, it would result in the Forest Service acquiring a portion of the largest remaining privately owned parcel in the upper Vail Valley. We feel that it would be desirable from a public standpoint for several reasons: - It would permanently prevent new subdivision and roadbuilding in the upper Trapper's Run drainage and Dowd Butte above West Vail. - It would consolidate private land holdings above Eagle-Vail into a more compact and manageable parcel (and reduce potential development impacts from a possible 4 mile long area to 2 miles or less). - It would legitimize the existing Davos mountain bike downhill trail on private lands east of Trappers Run and open the possibility of a future recreation trail running from West Vail to the Mountain Star/Wildridge area (in that regard, I am enclosing a letter from the Vail Velo Club in support of the exchange). - It would protect important wildlife habitat and migration in Traer Creek and near the radio tower. - It would protect the undeveloped cross and down-valley viewshed that skiers using the Game Creek and Lionshead areas now enjoy. Letter to Ms. Kristan Pritz Dated October 21, 1993 Page Two Another benefit of the proposed exchange, albeit farther away from Vail, is that the Forest Service would acquire the scenic Sweetwater Lakes Resort and jumping off point into the, Flattops Wilderness Area near Dotsero. Sweetwater Lake is the closest access for Vail Valley residents who use the Flattops, and their use would be enhanced by better trailhead facilities as well as recreational use of Sweetwater Lake and its substantial surrounding wetlands. I look forward to the tour by the Vail Town Council of the Nottingham Property next week. In the interim, please let me know if there is any additional material or information I can provide.

United States gets -17,162 acres of land in Costilla County, Colorado containing approximately 4.5 miles of river frontage on the Rio Grande River. The river corridor is prime bald and golden eagle habitat and has been recommended for addition to the Wild & Scenic Rivers System. The balance of the 17,162 acres is scenic rangeland and would afford new opportunities for hunting, .river access and other recreation in a County where there is virtually no other land open to public use. -The.371 acre Sweetwater Lakes Resort in Garfield County, Colorado. Acquisition of this land would enable construction of a trailhead and greatly improve public access to the southeast portion of the Flattops Wilderness Area, which is the closest to major highways and population centers. It will also enable the Forest Service to expand campground and other recreational facilities at the popular Sweetwater Lake. The property additionally contains extensive wetlands, a cave with historic petroglyphs, potential for recreational opportunities for the disabled and approximately 1.5 miles of Lakeshore. -823 acres of land located above Vail and Eagle-Vail, Colorado. This land is extremely scenic and is surrounded on three sides by National Forest land. It has excellent big game habitat and ties in with existing roads and trails that are used for mountain biking, hiking and other recreation. -an easement or trail around the Nottingham selected land to allow for a potential West Vail to Mountain Star/Wildridge recreational trail.

The Bureau o£ Land Managem®nt (BLM) is very interested in th® acquisition of this 17,000 acre parcel. Wa have rec~u®sted funding through th® E.and and Water Conservation Fund for this acquisition and others along this s®gment of the Rio Grande River gor the last three years. Although it has been a high priority acquisition in Colorado, we have been unabl® to obtain funding fior this prof®ct. The Bluebonnet prop®rty includes over three miles of river frontage and .is located on t~ segment of the Rio Grande which is being conaidr~red for designation as a Wild and Scenic River. This river corridor, from the Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge to the Colorado-New Mexico state Line, contains signigicant resource values and i9 currently managed as a special recreation management area until a wild and scenic River decision is rnade by Congress. The river corridor serves as a major bald eagle migration route and contains over 4o raptor nesting sites for golden r3aglea and other raptors. The property also contains important recreational opportunities for wildlif® vi®wing, fishing, hiking, primitiv® camping, boating, hunting, and horseback riding. Unmanaged grazing, poaching, and subdivision og private lands on the east Bide of the river threaten th® unique natural qualities of th® giver corridor. Acquisition og this tract by BLM would allow gOr a more unified management of the river corridor and enable riparian improvements to be made to increase raptor habitat and public recreation opportunities. Although a sati®factory opinion of title from our Regional solicitor is a prerequisite for our acquisition, we have examin®d the property and have found no title or other problem® which would preclude our ownership of the prop®rty. We are v®ry appreciative of your efforts Qo acquire this important property on behalf of 9LM. P1®ase contact Herb Olson at (303) 239-3709, if we can provide any additional information. sincerely, Bob Moor® State birector j i' I ~ i I .:1.~ ~ ~ ~ P f h , M r ~ _ : IT': ~ 1 ~ N ~ .

The Wilderness Land Trust has made a great beginning , as you will see from the other reports in this newsletter. But the magnitude of the wilderness inholding problem (110,000 acres in the Western states, without taking into accountthe Eastern wilderness problem) is great, and it requires more resources, both public and private. , ' , ~ ~ . On the public side, our efforts to get the U.S. Congress to address this problem ' more realistically have been partially successful. The House Appropriatons s ~ ~ Committee has approved 1.5 million dollars for a new Colorado Wilderness Protection Fund for Forest Service wilderness, and we are working for Senate ' k ~ • ~ ~ ~ approval and ultimate inclusion in the 1994 Federal Budget. But even if : - t Congress continued to appropriate a similar amount for Colorado wilderness in future years, it would be a long time before the inholdings in just this one state were acquired. Our efforts for 1995 will be directed toward expanding Congressional wilderness protection to other states and increasing the funds available to address the inholding problem. On the private side, more funds must be found to purchase the most important wilderness inholdings to prevent further development and erosion of wilderness values while we wait for the U.S. Congress to provide funds for the agencies. It is unrealistic to think that Congress will move fast enough, in these days of massive budget deficits and slow economy, and the private sector must move ahead. Many wilderness areas will be seriously impaired by private development such as is occurring in the West Elk ,Maroon Bells-Snowmass and Weminuche wilderness areas of Colorado unless the private sector furnishes interim fundino.to acquire these lands. Through the balance of 1993 and al] of 1994 The Wilderness Land Trust will be directing its efforts toward raising awareness in both public and private sectors of the threats to our remaining wilderness areas due to the continued existence of private inholdings. Your help, both in making the issue and your concerns known and in financially supporting our efforts is critical to our success. The support which we have received so far is encouraging, and we look forward to another successful year. F--~ . o K. Mulford Founder and President ' Threats to the Wilderness (continued from Page Nevertheless this summer Chapman resumed building on the first of six million dollar "cabins" even though he is in the midst of a land exchange near Telluride with the U.S. Forest Service. However this exchange has run into a storm of controversy and overwhelming public opposition and its success is in question. One of the options left open is condemnation of the land by Congress. In such a situation Chapman would receive court determined fair market value for his inholding. Other developments threaten the preservation of Colorado's wilderness as well. Recently we have discovered the use of a patented mining claim as a helicopter landing pad so that lodge guests can start hiking at the top of the mountain, and a proposed building in a wilderness area to be used by an outfitter who could not get a Forest Service permitin the area he wanted i near Durango. i _ _ In one unfortunate example the Forest Service in May preliminarily approved vehicular access to the owner of a mineral claim who plans to reopen a marble quarry in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. This happened the same week that The Wilderness Land Trust purchased a20 -acre parcel in the same wilderness area This `miner" expects to remove up to 70,000 tons of rock per }•ear from this popular wilderness area; one of the most photographed and famous areas in North America. The mining of marble and its accompanying impacts endanger the integrity of this beautiful area. ~ 2 d1~7f~®~lUt~'~1~IG ~IU~ ~®A~ ~IlZ~~7'®IZS n John Fielder.

Nolan, MD, MPH Executive Director TO: Interested Parties - FROM: Dick Parachini, Eagle Mine Protect Manager DATE: October 13, 1993 SUBJECT: Eagle Mine Preliminary Air Monitoring Results -September 1993 (EAG 7.1.6.3) The attached letter and table is an update regarding the Eagle Mine air monitoring program during September 1993. The airborne particulate data collected by the Paramount air monitors shown in the tables are preliminary in nature. This means that the Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) values may be revised after auditing and validation by the air monitoring contractor and the State. The information is useful in assessing emissions during this time period, as well as trends in potential human exposure. The air monitoring stations on top of the Minturn Middle School and at the North Cross Creek station were reactivated by Paramount on June 12 and have continued to operate on a 1-in-3 day schedule. This sampling frequency will be maintained through the 1993 construction season: The concentrations for TSP, Cd (Cadmium), and Pb (Lead) were below the air emissions permit levels during the month of September. Cadmium (Cd) was detected at the School Site rooftop location at 0.0148 ug/m 3 on September 28. The notation ug/m 3 stands for micrograms per cubic meter. A microgram equals one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. Although there are no state or federal standards for Arsenic or Cadmium (Cd), the Remedial Action Plan requires notification of any quantifiable concentrations above instrument detection levels (approximately 0.010 ug/m ~ for either of these two metals. The concentration measured on September 28 is well below levels of concern for arsenic. Site activities in September continue to be associated with collection and transfer of mine seepage and other contaminated water to the lined storage ponds at the Consolidated Tailings Pile. The water treatment plant has continued to treat this water and discharge it to the Eagle River. Sludge generated from the treatment plant continues to be deposited on top of the Consolidated Tailings Pile. Increased traffic into the Belden area was the result of the filming of the movie Tall Tale . Construction activities at the site include reshaping of stockpiled tailings material, excavation and screening of clean soil cap material, placement and compaction of cap materials, and excavation of a dewatered sludge disposal cell. s Air Monitoring Results -September 1993 2 For additional information, please contact Dick Parachini (692-3396), Doug Ikenberry (827- 5928), or Marion Galant (692-3304).
