Keystonet patented pin system proddes dependable strength
where it's needed most. High strength fiberglass pins provide
built-in aligmlent lor the Century Wall SJstem and ensures
that each unit is securely interlocked within the wall face. ln
addition, this unique pinned system allows for a mechanical
connection with gcogrid soil reinforcement, securing its
placelrcnt between units and allowing for proper tension
of the geogrid.
Produ$ 1)rrsign
The Century Wall unit design provides important features
needed but not always found in a segmcntal retaining wall. The
ccnter core area of Century Wall provides an open cell in which
unit drainage fill is placed adding weight, facial stability and
additional interlock for each wall module. This gravel fill
provides a critical funaion as a drainage filter which hclps
alleviate hydrostatic prcsure and assists in locking the geogrid
within the wall face.
Rt.r r t dom L) r t it Plact, n t a t r l
Century Wall's random face appcarance provides the look o{'
hand laid stone with thc design and construction advantages
found in a scgmental retaining wall. Thrce facing elements
8" in hcight, with varying widths from 7" to 18" each
randomly placed within the wall, give Century Wall the
character of a nalural stone wall. All Century Wall units are
12" dcep providing the stability required for constructing
taller wall structures.

dedication of any portion of the Premises or Ancillary Premises, or any interest therein
(including the Easements or the Improvements), to or for the general public or for any public
purposes whatsoever. it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Easements and
Improvements and all the rights and interests hereunder be held and maintained in all respects

SUMMARY
The applicant, Eagle RiverWater and Sanitation District, represented by Braun Associates,
Inc., is requesting a minor subdivision pursuant to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivision, Vail
Town Code, to allow for the replatting of Lot 31 and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2"d Filing; a
request to rezone Lot 3'1 and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2tu Filing from Outdoor Recreation
(OR) and Lionshead Mixed Use 2 (LMU-2) zone districts to the General Use (GU) zone
district, and a request for a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Conditional
Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the operation of a water and sewage treatment plant and
a public parking facility and structure, located at 846 West Forest Roadilot 31 and Tracts C
& D, VailVillage 2d Filing. The proposed final plat further describes the existing properties
as Lot 31, Tract C, Tract D, Parceis 1, 2, & 3, and an Unplatted Parcel.
The intent of these requests is to allow for the consolidation of Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District (ERWSD) properties and to facilitate an expansion of the existing
ERWSD water and sewage treatment plant.
Based upon staffs review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and the
evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Departmenl recommends
that the Planning and Environmental Commission approve the requested minor
subdivision, approve the requested conditional use permit, and forward a
recommendation of approval to the Town Council of the requested rezoning, subject to
the findings and conditions noted in Section lX of this memorandum.
[.DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, ERWSD, represented by Braun Associates, lnc., is requesting a minor
subdivision pursuant to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivision, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
replatting of Lot 3'l and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2"o Filing; a request to rezone Lot 31 and
Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2d Filing from Outdoor Recreation (OR) and Lionshead Mixed
Use 2 (LMU-2) zone districts to the General Use (GU) zone district; and a request for a
conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to
allow for the operation of a water and sewage treatment plant and a public parking facility
and structure, located at 846 West Forest Road. A vicinity map of the site has been
attached for reference (Attachment A).
Rezoning
The existing ERWSD plant site is zoned General Use (GU) district. The additional ERWSD
properties are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use-2 (LMU-2) diskict (i.e. Tract C and
Parcel 2) and Outdoor Recreation (OR) district (i.e. Unplatted Parcel and Parcel 3). The
proposed rezoning request will apply General Use (GU) zoning to all the ERWSD properties
(i.e. proposed Lot 1). The General Use (GU) district allows for both water and sewage
treatment plants and for public parking facilities and structures as conditional uses. An
existing zoning map has been attached for reference (Attachment B).
Minor Subdivision
The proposed minor subdivision request will consolidate several ERWSD owned properties
into a single lot. A copy of the proposed final plat has been attached for reference
(Attachment D). As noted on the proposed final plat, Lot 31, Tract C, Tract D, Parcels 1, 2,
& 3, and an Unplatted Parcel will all be resubdivided into one property (i.e. Lot 1, Vail
Village 2"d Filing).
The proposed conditional use permit requests will facilitate the expansion of the existing
ERWSD plant. The existing plant will need to be expanded to accommodate the anticipated
redevelopment and build-out of Vail, especially the anticipated redevelopment of Lionshead.
The conditional use permit requests will also facilitate the construction of a parking
structure. This parking structure will accommodate ERWSD employee parking needs and
provide additional public parking opportunities. The applicant is requesting that public
parking be temporarily allowed on the site during the 2003-2004 ski season. Once the
ERWSD plant expansion has been constructed, the applicant is requesting that public
parking be allowed on the site during weekends, special events, and other occasions when
overflow parking is needed. Architectural plans have been attached for reference
(Attachment E). Additionally, an Environmental lmpact Report has been attached for
reference (Attachment F).
Conditional Use Permit
The applicant's more detailed description of the request has been attached for reference
(Attachment C). Please note that the Planning and Environmental Commission will not be
reviewing a conditional use permit request for a Vail Resorts snowcat access road, as such
a road does not require a conditional use permit. The proposed snowcat access road,
bridge, retaining walls, revegetation plan, etc. will be reviewed by the Design Review Board.

ilt.BACKGROUND
The ERWSD plant was originally constructed in the early 1970's and expanded in the early
1980's. In the past year, ERWSD has acquired additional adjacent properties to facilitate a
needed expansion of the existing plant. The proposed plant expansion will be necessary to
accommodate the anticipated, upcoming build-outand redevelopmentof Vail, especiallythe
redevelopment of Lionshead. The need to expand the existing plant onto the old Town
shops parcel was recommended in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan in Sections
4.9.4.5 and 5.18.

Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Chapter 4: Master Plan Recommendations - Overall Study Area (in part)
4.9.4-5 Old Town Shops
The old Town shops, located just west of the Vail sanitation plant, were identifred as
a potential employee housing location during the master planning process. There
are, however, other significant demands on this site, including potential expansion
of the sanitation plant and the need for a new snowcat mountain access route from
the Vail Associates service yard. ln addition, the presence of the sanitation plant on
one s/de and the existing gas statlon on the other reduces the desirability of this
location for employee or locals housing.
Chapter 5: Detailed Recommendations (in part)
5.1 I Old Town Shops
The old town shops slfe has been targeted for a variety of uses throughout the
master planning process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail
sanitation plant, and Vail Associates mountain services. Ihese uses may be
appropiate for the site, but they are not compatible. lnput from the Eagle River
Water and Sanitation District suggests that the property will most likely be used for
expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard. lf the old town shops are
removed the existing storage componentwill be replaced atthe Town of Vail public
works shoo.

statements of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. The applicant's proposal is
specifically recommended in Sections 4.9.4.5 and 5.18 in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan.
2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the
existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents.
Staff Response: The ERWSD plant currently exists on the site and the proposed
rezoning will facilitate an expansion of the plant deemed necessary to
accommodate land uses throughout the entire Town of Vail. The rezoning will also
facilitate an increase in the availability of public parking.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives.
Staff Response: The proposed rezoning will facilitate the enhancement of the water
and sewer system and public parking system within the Town of Vail, thus improving
the relationship among land uses and the carrying capacity of the community as it
relates to new growth and water quality.
4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides forthe growth
of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the
amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole.
Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of
the water and sewer system within the Town of Vail, thus allowing for the orderly
growth and viability of the community. A portion of the ERSWD site is currently
zoned General Use (GU) district, thus rezoning all of ERSWD's properties to the
same district is not considered a spot zoning. This development is also specifically
recommended in the Lionshead Master Plan.

redevelopment projects are now anticipated throughout the Town of Vail, including a
large scale redevelopment of Lionshead. An expansion of the ERSWD plant is
necessary to accommodate this redevelopment and the further build-out of Vail.
Also, the availability of public parking is inadequate to meet both current and future
demands. The rezoning will facilitate an increase in public parking availability.

I. Introduction
A. Summaq, of Proposal
The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District ("District') is proposing to expand the capacity of
the existing waste water plant and construct a new drinking water treatrnent pLant ('the Plant')
located at the intersection of Forest Road and the South Frontage Road in Vaii. The District
recendy acquired land from the Town of Vail (the Old Tovrn Shops) to faci[tate this plant
erpansion. The need for the plant erpansion is generated by firture development and build-out
of the Town of Vail and is largely required due to proiected redevelopment in the Lionshead
area as directed bv the Lionshead Redevelooment Master Plan.

The District has been working cooperatively with Vail Resorts in order to relocate rhe existing
snowcat route from Forest Road. Part of this proposal is a request to allow snowcat access
across District properry to a bridge across Gore Creek. Vail Resorts, under separate applicatiorq
is seeking approval for the new snowcat bridge across the Gore Creek and a ne'*' access route
connecting to the Cascade Way (formerly Westin Hi Ho) trail on Vail l\'Iountain. This
rmprovement will reduce conflicts with the residents along Forest Road and provide a rnore
direct roure from Vail Resorts' maintenance faciJity located on the north side of the S. Frontage
Road.
Additionally, the District is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow public
parking on the District's propertv. This permit would allow public parking temporarily on the
Old Town Shops site and within the existing parking lot (approximately 80 - 100 spaces) after
removal of the existing Old Town Shops. This approval would allow this temporary parking for
one ski season and would help the Town reduce parking pressure on South Frontage Road. In
addition, the conditiond use permit would allow public parking in the Disuict's parking lot
upon expansion of that facility on weekends, during special events, or other times '*'hen
overflow parking is needed by the community. This approval would allow parking for
approximate ly 65 cars.

II.Description of the Proiect
A. Baclground
The origrnal wastewater treatrnent plant was developed in the early 1970's. That facility
occupies the site where the offices and parking exist today on land zoned General Use (GI). ln
the early 1980's additional land was acquired from the Town of Vail and the plant was
redeveloped and expanded. The land acquired in the 1980's is zoned Outdoor Recreation and is
deveioped with the existing wastes/ater treatrnent facfity.
This year the District acquired three additionai parcels from the Tov'n of Vail to allow for
er,pansion to the plant. These parcels are currently occupied by the Old Town Shops, parking
and d.dveu'ays accessing the adiacent CDOT right-of-way. The parcels developed with the OId
Town Shops are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and the parcel to the south of the
shops (developed as parking) is zoned Outdoor Recreation. See map beiow.

C. Proposed Development
The proposed expansion includes an expanded wastev'ater treatment faciiity and new drinking
water Eeatment facil-ity. The proposed uses will occur as an erpansion of the existing struc[ures
on-site and will occur on the newly acquired parcels of land (Old Town Shops). The footprint
of the new strucrure is 12,600 sq. ft. The proposed structure is built substantially belorp grade
and will appear as a single-story with parking on top of the structure. The proposed use wi,ll
include treatment facilities and offrce areas. The new plant area will be 12,600 sq. ft. of which
138 sq. ft. is office area. There will be a total increase in parking of 26 parking spaces for a totai
of 65 parking spaces on-site. There is a negligrble increase in the staffing levels as a result of the
proposed expansion q'ith the addition of 1 employee for a total of 30 employees. The District i.s
taking advantage of the surface area created in the top of the plant faciliry which has a capacicy
for 65 parking spaces.

The expanded wastewater treatment plant is designed to operate at 5.6 MGD (maximum daily
flow) and 7.0 MGD (peak hourly flow). The new ddaking water plant is designed to operate at
3.0 MGD. Refer to ttre Environrnental Impact Report for more detail on the operations of the
facilities on this site.
In conjunction with this application is a conditjonal use reguest to allovr snowcats to taaverse
the District's property from the Vail ResorCs rnaintenance yard to a proposed bridge across
Gore Creek. The snowcat access bridge is being proposed by Vail Resort's under separate
appiication and that bridge and access route to the Cascade \Way trail are located entirely on
Town of Vail propeffy. The proposed access route'ivili replace the route curentlv traveling up
West Forest Road. A 25' wide access easement to allow snowcats on District propefty w-il be
established by a sepatate easement document.
The proposal also includes a subsurface snowmaking pump facility to replace tJrat facility
located at the tennis court site on \y'est Forest Road for use by Vail Resorts.
D.Rezoning Request
In order to allorv the proposed uses and consolidate the existing parcels of land, a consistent
zoning designation is required for the propety. Tfre current waste\vater treatrnent facilities ate
developed on 4 contiguous but separate parcels of land. The primary uses are located on a
parcel zone General Use whjle a portion of the existing facility is located on a parcel zoned
Outdoor Recreation. Utility facilities are a conditional use in the Generai Use zone district but
are not listed either as a perrnitted or conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation zone district.
The newly acquired parcels to the west of tlle existing facility are zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2
GJvfUz) and Outdoor Recreadon. Please refer to the zoning map below. The LMU2 zone
district would aliow the proposed plant expansion subject to a conditional use permit, however,
to create consistency the neu'ly acquired parcels are proposed to be rezoned to General Use.

III. Conditional Use Permit Criteria
Below is t}le criteria used by the staff and the Planning and Enr"ironmentai Commission q'hen
reviewing a request for a Conditional Use Permit. Each criterion has been addressed and we find that
the proposal fully complies with each. AII of the follorving conditional use permits being reguested are
included in this analvsis:
Water and wastewater treatment plant
Snowcat access to Vail lr{ountain
Temporary and permanent public parking
C.
Re/aliorchip and inrpact of lbe ase on druelopnent objectiues of fue awn.
Our Anal]'sis:
The proposed uses are being located in an infill atea of the Town in an area that is
characterized by utility, sen'ice, and light industriai uses. The proposed uses are
identified in tlre Lionshead Redevelopment N{aster Plan as suitable uses for t}re area.
The proposed sno'wcat access route was also identified by the Master Plan as a positive
change to divert snou'cat traffic on Forest Road. The proposed wastewater and water
treatment plant expansion .will allorv growth to occur within areas of the Town planned
for development over the next 20 or more years.
The efea of the ase on ligbt and air, dislibulion of popularion, lransporlation facilitier, atihties,
schools, parks and remation facilitiet, and otber pubhcfacilities needs.
Our AnalJrsis:
The proposed project rvill have litde impact on light and air, population, transportation
facilit-ies, schools, parks, or recreation .facilities. The proposal will expand the capacity of
existing water and wastewater treatrnent and will therefore improve the abiJity of the
to\vn to redevelop. The proposed snowcat access route will reduce conflicts with
vehicles on \i7est Forest Road and thus improve the flow of traffic in that area. The
proposed facility is a low one-story bunding rvhich will have litde if anv effect on light
and air. The new drinking water treatment plant will help to increase tle flows in Gore
Creek during louz-flow periods by pulling water from the confluence of Gore Creek and
Eagle River instead of the vzells located under the Vail Golf Course.

Our Analysis:
The proposed plan will improve the traffic conditions and flow in the area. Snorvcats
will be removed from Forest Road thus reducing conflicts with residential traffic and
pedestdans in that area. The proposed plant facility includes adeguately sized parking
areas and drive aisles to accommodate the uses proposed on-site including the
occasional use for public parking on weekends. Adequate snow storage areas are
planned on site.

Our Analysis:
The proposed zone district is consistent u'ith the historic use of the property and the
adjacent propefty. The ptoposed zone district is consistent with the Vail
Comprehensive Plan as this area is identified for public uses such as utilitjes. The
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan recognizes this area as a potendal site for the
expansion of the wastewater treatrnent plant and the relocated snou'cat access route.
The ptoposed expansion will improve the capacity of the treatment facility which rvill
allow the Tovzn to achieve its redevelopment goals in Lionshead and elsewhere in the
Town.

Our Analysis:
The proposed zoning and land use designation is compatible and suitable with adjacent
Iand uses. The amendment will allorv an extension of the existing wastewater treatment
facilitv, the construction of a neu' drinking water treatment plant, and will create a more
d'irg61 16u1s for snowcats accessing Vail N{ountain. The Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan identiEes this area for these tt?e of uses.

Our Analysis:
The proposed rezoning u'ill have litde impact on the natural environment of the site or
the Town as a rvhole. The site itself does not contain any unique natural qualities other
than being located adjacent to Gore Creek. The proposed site is currentJy developed
with the Old Town Shops, previously owned by the Town of Vail, which includes
paving and Sading of the entire site. Measures rvill be taken to improve the drainage
and vegetative qualities of the site.
Tbe extent to uthich tbe 4one distict amendment is consistent with tbe purposes of the proposed qone

Our Analysis:
The proposed zone district is consistent with the pulposes of the General Use zone
district. Additionally, the proposed land use for the property is a utility faciJity, snowcat
access route, and public parking which are perrrrined by the proposed zone district by
conditioflal use permit. The proposed zone district will allow for adequate light, air, and

VL Land Use Plan/Master Plan Goals
Below is a iist of goals from the Vaii Land Use Plan and Lionshead Redevelopment Mastet Plan tlat are
applicable to the District's project. The proposed development plan, conditional use pernits, and
rezoning requests are consistent with these goals as the proposal is responding to t}le needs of the
community and is being developed in an area where development is currendy located and anticipated by
the Vail Land Use PIan.
1. General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to glow in a controled environment, maintaining a balance
between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and t]le
permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the envitonment including air, water and other natu{al resources should
be protected as the Town gtows.
1.3 The quality of development should be majntained and upgtaded whenever possible.
1.72 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas
(infill areas).
6. Community Services
6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth.
6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth
with services.
Lionshead Redevelooment Master Plan
5.18 OId Town Shops
"The old town shops site has been targeted for a vadety of uses throughout the master planning
process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail sanitation plang and Vail Associates
mountain services. These uses may be appropriate for the site, but they ate not compatible.
Input ftom the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District suggests that the ptoperty will most
likely be used for expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard."

I Introduction
The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (the "District") proposes to expand
the Vail wastewater treatment plant and develop of a new raw water treatment plant.
These facilities would be located on a parcel of land adjacent to the existing wastewater
treatment plant at the intersection of Forest Road and South Frontage Road. The District
intends to implement the project in two phases. Phase 1 includes the expansion of the
District's physical facilities. New construction would provide the space needed to
expand the wastewater treatment plant and install a new drinking water treatment facility
(D\\T). Installation of DWF equipment and commencement of operations would occur
in Phase 2.
This Environmental Impact Report follows the report content requirements of
Chapter 12 of the Town of Vail Code. Town of Vail sections and sub-sections are
referenced in parenthesis in report headings, with minor organizational modifications
specific to this project when necessary.
2 Generol Stqfement (l 2-'12-5 B)
2.1 Project Owner/Sponsor (12-12-5 B)
The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District proposes upgrading their existing
Vail wastewater treatment facilities. The project also includes the addition of a drinking
water treatment facility and new raw water source.
The District provides water and wastewater utilities to approximately 54,400 acres
in Eagle County. The towns of Vail, Minturn, and Avon, and the mixed-use
developments served by Arrowhead, Beaver Creek, Berry Creek, Eagle-Vail, Edwards,
Traer Creek, Holland Creek, Bachelor Gulch (Smith Creek), and Squaw Creek
(Cordillera) Metropolitan Districts are included within District boundaries. The District
cunently manages systems that serve 22,522 water and 22,973 wastewater single-family
equivalent units (SFEs). While the Dishict's permanent population is estimated to be
approximately 20,000, its population during peak season exceeds 40,500 residents due to
the influx of temporary residents for recreation and tourism purposes during the winter
and summer seasons.
2.2 Proposed Project Description and Purpose (12-12-5Bl
The proposed plant expansion and upgrade would enable the District to serve future
development and to provide redundant water supply and treatment facilities and optimize
system operations in the Vail Valley. The proposed project includes:

l. Expansion of the current Vail facility onto an adjacent parcel immediately to
the west, which is owned by the District.
2. Upgrade of the current wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to provide
additional secondary clarifier capacity. This would supplement the function of
the two existing circular secondary clarifiers and provide greater operational
flexibility for the activated sludge process.
3. The construction of a new drinking water treatment faciliry. The source of raw
water would be an existing diversion at the confluence of Gore Creek and the
Eagle River. The new water source would be connected to the water treatment
plant by an existing pumping facility and pipeline currently used for
snowmaking at the Vail Mountain ski area.
A schematic of the water supply and wastewater treatment system is presented in
Fisure 1.
Figure 1: Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment System Schematic
2.3 Funding Source and Time Schedule (12-12-5 Bl
Engineering and preliminary work for the proposed project is funded through the
Disfrict fund balance at this time. Once the design plan, which is cunently in a
preliminary phase, has been finalized and project costs determined, bonds would be
issued. Construction is targeted to begin in the spring of 2004 with a constmction period
of an estimated 210 days. Prior to construction an existing structure, the Old Town
Shops building, will be removed from the proposed project site. Demolition of this
buildine is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2003.

2.4 Project Boundaries (12-12-5 B 1)
The current Vail WWTP is a three-story, 50,500 square foot facility located in
Eagle County within the corporate limits of the Town of Vail, Colorado, at 846 Forest
Road. The proposed project includes the expansion of the District's Vail facilities on
their current lot and an adjacent parcel immediately to the west. South Frontage Road
runs parallel to I-70 and defines the northern boundary ofthe existing and proposed
facilities. The site is bordered by Forest Road to the east and Gore Creek to the south.
2.5 Present and Proposed Site Uses (12-12-5 B 2l
2.5.1 Physical Facilities
Cunent Facility
The Disftict's cunent faciliry houses administrative offices as well as the Vail
WWTP, and accommodates 29 employees. Current vehicle access to the site is from
Forest Road (parking for District employees and the general public and access to the
District's administrative offices). The site and a general maintenance area for operations
personnel may also be accessed via South Frontage Road. Vehicle parking is located to
the east and west of the existing building. The larger, westem parking area is built at
ground level above the current WWTP. Three fleet vehicles are stored at night and
approximately 25 vehicles are parked during the workday.
Proposed Facility Expansion
The existing facility footprint and the proposed expansion are demarcated in the
site plan (Appendix A). The District owns the project site. The Old Town Shops
property, which is approximately 0.51 acres, was purchased by the District in 2002.
The proposed site presently houses a single 3,930 square foot abandoned structure,
the Old Town Shops (Fig. 2), which is scheduled to be demolished by the fall of 2003.
Pre-demolition asbestos removal from the building was completed on April 14,2003r.
Air monitoring by Boulder Environmental Management found the site to be negative for
asbestos content. Lead sampling performed by Boulder Environmental Management on
February 14,2003 found that no building components were toxic for lead. Testing results
are on file with the Town of Vail.
I Asbestos removal was done by American Abatement Inc. ofDenver, Colorado.

Figure 2: Old Town Shops building
(slated for demolition, facing northwest)
The site has an estimated i45 feet of frontage along South Frontage Road and is
bordered to the south by approximately 180 feet along Gore Creek. The properly drops
about t2 feet from the Frontage Road and the bank adjacent to the creek is also very
steep. The rear of the lot is generally flat (Dory and Associates, 2002). New building
construction would extend to the west of District's existing facilities, adding
approximately 12,900 square feet to their current 50,500 square feet. The addition and
improvement of asphalted areas would also occur along the western and southem
boundaries ofthe property. A parking lot for approximately 60 vehicles, located on the
roofofthe expanded facility, would be accessed by both South Frontage Road and Forest
Road.
The proposed building expansion would include space for a new water treatment
facility and the addition of two additional secondary clarifiers for the WWTP.
Descriptions of the proposed water treatment and wastewater treatment processes are
provided in the following sections of this report.
Vail Resorts has proposed a bridge across Gore Creek to the southwest of the
Districts' facilities with access along the westem boundary of the site. This bridge is not
a part of this proposal but is included in the site plan (Appendix A) to insure that the
District's and Vail Resorts' proposals are compatible. The preliminary site plan for the
bridge, prepared by Alpine Engineering, would allow Vail Resorts to bypass residential
areas along Forest Road when accessing the ski area from their shop yard on the north
side ofthe South Frontage Road. The new route would take snow cats and other ski area
maintenance traffic across Frontage Road, past the District's facilities and across Gore
Creek to the ski area. Currently snow cats must drive down Forest Road and through a
residential area to access the resort.

2.5.2 Wastewater Facilities
Current Wastewater Treatment Processes
The District operates three wastewater plants in the towns of Vail, Avon and
collection lines that function primarily by gravity flow with several lift stations. The
Disfrict's Vail wastewater treatment plant, located in the lower level of their Vail facility,
was consrructed in 1969 and most recently expanded in 1982. A2002 facility upgrade
increased the faciliry's Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) loading capacity.
The Vail WWTP uses an activated sludge treatment process that consists of
influent screening followed by aeration basins that can be operated in series or parallel.
FIow from the aeration basins is then conveyed into secondary clarifiers, which in tum
discharge into nitrification basins. These basins discharge to ultra violet disinfection
facilities before discharging into Gore Creek. Solids resulting from the wastewater
treatmenr process are pumped to the Avon plant for treatment where residual sludge is
digested and a Class "A" biosolids produced'
The current Vail WWTP hydraulic design capacity is:
2.Tmilliongallonsperday(MGD)maximum30-dayaveragedailyflow
4.2 MGD maximum dailY flow
5.4 MGD Peak hourlY flow-
Table I shows recent l2-month effluent characteristics for the Vail W-WTP- Plant
effluent was well within permit limits for all parameters. The Vail WWTP is currently
operating effectively andhas been consistently meeting all applicable water quality
standards.

Proposed Expansion and Upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Facilities
The proposed project is designed to increase wastewater treatment capaciry at the
current plant in response to planned development in Lionsbead and Vail Village, as well
as anticipated stricter State effluent lirnits for nitrate and phosphorus. The project
includes additional secondary clarifiers, which would increase plant capacity without
changing the processes used at the plant or the quality ofthe effluent. The point of
discharge to Gore Creek is adjacent to the WWTP near the confluence of Red Sandstone
Creek and would not be changed under the proposed project.
The District believes it would be able to handle the additional loading that will
result from redevelopment within the Town of Vail with minirnal modifications that
include the addition oftwo secondary clarifiers. The project objectives for the new
secondary clarifi er proj ect include :
r Provide additional secondary clarifier capacity to permit fuhrre operation of the
Vail activated sludge system as a single sludge system for biological nuftient
removal.
r Improve the operational flexibility associated with the activated sludge system
by providing a wide range of operational configurations and loadings with
regard to the secondary clarification and retum sludge pumping.
The new secondary clarifiers would be located in the building expansion to the
west and south of the existing clarifiers. Tbe projected hydraulic design capacity for the
proposed project is:
3.5 MGD maximum 30-day average daily flow
5.6 MGD maximum daily flow
7.0 MGD peak hourly flow.
Once tbe clarifiers have been constructed, piping, retum sludge pumps, scum
collection and pumping equipment, and sludge removal equipment would be installed.
Operational improvements to the WWTP would also include improved automation and
better aeration blower control.
2.5.3 Water Treatment Plant
Current Drinking Water Treatment System
The District provides water service from East Vail to Dowd Junction through eight
wells located in the Gore Creek alluvial aquifer, one surface treatment 1.0 MGD plant
located in East Vail and 57 miles of transmission lines. Four groundwater wells,
approximately 100 feet deep, are located in the area around the Vail golf course and can
produce approximately 7.3 MGD. Three groundwater wells, approximately 60 feet deep,
are located in the Matterhorn area of West Vail and can produce approxirnately 1.0
MGD. Well water is high quality and requires only the addition of chlorine at the well

head to meet drinking water standards. A water system interconnection at Dowd Junction
is shared with the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority and serves an altemative
backup source capable of providing 1.2 MGD.
Construction of Water Treatment Plant and Addition of Raw Water Source
The Dishict proposes constructing a new 3.0 MGD drinking water featment
facility in conjunction with the District's facility expansion. The purpose of the DWF is
to provide increased capacity and to decrease reliance on upstrean:l wells during low flow
periods, thereby enhancing stream flows in Gore Creek through the Town of Vail and
downstream to the mouth of Gore Creek. Redundancv allows ootimization of source
utilization and water quality.
The system schematic shown in Figure 1 illustrates the manner in which the new
facilities would be integrated into the system. Raw water from the confluence of the
Eagle River and Gore Creek would be pumped to the new drinking water treatment
facility, which would include filtration, disinfection, pumping, and ancillary equipment.
Backwash and other wastewater generated by the proposed water treafinent plant would
be treated at the Vail WWTP, before being discharged to Gore Creek. Potable water
would enter the existing domestic water distribution system for the Town of Vail.
The proposed project would utilize an existhg diversion structure at Dowd
Junction (at the confluence of the Eagle River and Gore Creek) to provide an additional
source of raw water. Vail Resorts currently owns, operates, and maintains the intake and
pump station at Dowd Junction, along with an existing l2-inch raw water pipeline for the
purpose of snowmaking. Water diverted from the Eagle River is conveyed through the
pipeline, which is buried on the north side of Gore Creek, to a booster pump station on
the south bank of Gore Creek across from the District's facilities. This pipeline is used to
convey water for snowmaking frorr November through January. The District would have
use of the pipeline during the majority of the year when it is not being used for
snowmaking. This existing infrastructure presents an opportunity for the District to
reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts that would be associated with the
construction of a new intake and pipeline.
Phase 1 of the District's proposed project includes building the structure, which
would house the future water treatment facility. The actual installation and operation of
the DWF would occur within the next few years. Preliminary design calculations and
process evaluations, necessary to determine building specifications, were completed by
Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The water quality data provided in
Table 2 were used to determine the required treatment technologies for the Vail DWF.
These preliminary specifications suggest th.ree parameters of particular interest:
. Iron and Manganese Removal
r Contact Time Reouirements
. Turbidity

Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental lmPact RePort Page 8
Several altemative processes were screened for a new 3.0 MGD DWF (Brown and
Caldwell, 2003). Two "tit..iu were considered, prior to costing, including site and space
requirements and proven operation at sirnilar installations. A cost comparison was then
made for alternatives that passed the initial screening'
ActiflocrM (a conventional contact clarification process) was recommended as the
best water treatrnent option. This decision was based upon the ability of the Actifloc rM
process (see Appendix B) to treat variable raw water tubidity, remove iron and
mangaDese, and provide sustained and competitive life-cycle costs'
Recommended process includes the following base components:
o Feedwater Flow Meters
o Testing of Pre-Ozonation for Iron / Manganese Oxidation
. Actifloc rM Process
. Air Blowers
. Washwater Pumps
. Chemical Feed SYstems
. UV- Primary Disinfection
. on-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation for Residual Disinfection
. Finished Water Booster PumPs
. Instrumentation and Control
Ultraviolet (uV) disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were
selected for primary disinfection and residual chlorination, respectively'
Site constraints require that the proposed DWF be co-located with the wwTP in
the new building structuie. This is a unique situation because drinking water and
wastewater treaiment facilities are usually placed at separate locations. To insure that the
drinking water and wastewater facilities are isolated from one another, a series of
protectiie measures have been developed (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The Colorado
Water Qualify Control Division has accepted the colocation of the WWTP and the DWF
(see Apiendix C) provided the following mitigation steps are implernented:
. Piping for raw and finished water will enter the DWF on the west side, away
from and above all sewers in the area.
. The building containment for the DWF will be isolated by use of dual walls
with a space between, and leakage from the space will be collected, detected,
and seni to the W-WTP. Detection of watel in the space befween the facilities
will cause an alarm and could result in faciliry shutdown'
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 9
The two facilities will have separate HVAC systems, with the WWTP
conkolled at a negative air pressure, and the DWF at a positive air pressure.
Sensors and motorized dampers will positively control differential pressure.
The fresh air intake for the DWF building will be on the west side, and the
exhaust/odor control system for the WWTP will be on the southeast side.
The only entryway going from the W-WTP to the DWF will be a sealed door
with a positive closer, set into the wall above the maximum flood level of the
WWTP, with stairs on both sides.
The WWTP has a positive maximum water level, based on overflow piping that
will send water to the interceotor to the Avon WWTP at a specified level.
Facilify operators will be certified in both water and wastewater, and will be
trained so they fully understand the dangers of contamination.
A new laboratory area will be installed, which will allow District staff to better
control and monitor the quality of their work.
2.6 Present and Proposed Zoning of the Site (12-12-5 B 3)
The parcel on which the District's current facilify is located is zoned General Use.
The recently purchased Old Town Shops parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and
Outdoor Recreation. The District proposes to rezone all of this land to General Use. The
municipal and residential.
2.7 Quantitative Information (12-12-5 B 4l
Quantitative information regarding the proposed project can be found above in
"Present and Proposed Site Uses" and below in the "Environmental Inventory and Impact
Type and Analysis" section.
2.8 Applicable Regulations and Permitting (12-12-5 B 5)
A summary of regulafions/permitting affecting the District's proposed WWTP
expansion and new DWF are presented below. The District anticipates that the proposed
project would meet all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
1. Town of Vail
l.l. Building Permit: A building permit for the proposed project will be required by
the Town of Vail.

edge of the District's current and proposed facility sites. The Gore Creek 100-year flood
plain is approximately 2 horizontal feet from the boundary ofthe proposed project site
(see Appendix A). A steep streambank, with an approximate 2O-foot drop, separates the
creek from the site (Fig. 3).

3.1 Hydrologic Conditions (12-124 A1l
3.1.1 Surface Water
Existing Conditions
Gore Creek drains approximately 100 square miles and is the primary source of
water supply for the Town of Vail and the Vail Ski Area. The mean annual stream flow
in Gore Creek at its mouth is 129 cubic feet per second (cfs) for a total discharge
averaging93,790 acre-feetperyear. Peakflowsduringspringrunoff canreach 1,850cfs
during the month of June, while the lowest recorded flows are approximately 11 cfs
during the months of January and February (U.S. Geological Survey, 2002).
As previously described, the water supply for the Town of Vail is diverted
primarily from Gore Creek via an alluvial well field located near the confluence of Booth
Creek. Water use in Vail consists prirnarily of commercial and domestic uses, lawn
irrigation and golf course irrigation. The water supply for restaurants and other facilities
located on Vail Mountain is obtained from wells and Mill Creek. Mill Creek drains the
north side of Vail Mountain and is a major tributary of Gore Creek. Water supply for
snowmaking on Vail Mountain is taken from Gore Creek (below the Vail Wastewater
Treaflnent Plant outfall near the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek) and from the
diversion facility located at Dowd Junction. To protect instream flows during low flow
conditions, snowmaking diversions from Gore Creek are limited to the amount of effluent
being discharged frorn the WWTP. Total projected water depletions from Gore Creek for
the Town of Vail and the Vail Ski Area at full development are expected to reach 2,557
acre-feet per year.

Under existing conditions, surface water runoff and erosion at the project site may
impact Gore Creek. The ground surface ofthe current and proposed sites has been highly
rrodified by'grading, construction of structures, and paving, resulting in the establishment
of an impermeable surface. Along the southern edge of the Old Town Shops property,
there are currently no measures in place to prevent sand, gravel and other debris from
falling into the creek (Fig. a). At the District's current facility, stonnwater runoff is
directed through a drain on the southwest part of the property before flowing directly into
Gore Creek. Ourfalls are inspected twice annually to ensure that they are free of debris.
Figure 4: Old Town Shops Property
Analysis of lmpacts
The proposed project includes an additional source ofraw water, pumped from
Gore Creek and the Eagle River at Down Junction. This new drinking water source
would have a positive impact on Gore Creek stream flows and water quality. Dowd
Junction, rather than water from the wells in East Vail could be pumped during low flow
months, leaving water in Gore Creek between the well fields and Dowd Junction. The
proposed project would not affect the stream channel or raise the level of the 100-year
flood plain.
Several improvements in stormwater management and erosion control would be
made to the site under the proposed project. Following construction plan approval,
temporary stormwater and erosion controls would be installed. Appropriate best
management practices (BMPs) to reduce the amount of sediment and stormwater
transported to Gore Creek would be selected to remain in place until permanent
ii
il
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 15
stormwater controls are constructed and final project acceptance has been granted. BMPs
are designed to:
o minimize the amount of disturbed soil.
r prevent stormwater runoff,
. caph-lre sediment,
. provide a buffer zone between the construction site and Gore Creek,
. temporarily stabilize soils during construction, and
. revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction.
Examples of BMPs that would be utilized where applicable are presented in
Appendix D. These are examples of both permanent and temporary, as well as structural
and non-structural, measures that could be employed during and after construction.
After construction, stormwater runoff from the driveway and parking areas would
be routed through a drain on the southwest corner of the properfy. All traffic and parking
areas would be asphalted, decreasing the amount of sand and gravel in runoff.
3.1.2 Groundwater
Existing Conditions
Exploratory drilling at various sites in the Town of Vail has confirmed the presence
of groundwater at varying depth throughout the area. At the site of the proposed project,
the groundwater table is expected to be closely associated with Gore Creek.
Analysis of lmpacts
During construction it is likely that groundwater would be encountered in areas
excavated for construction of the building foundation and pumping would be reguired to
dewater the excavated area. It would be necessary to create a settling basin or sump area
to collect groundwater, which would then be pumped into Gore Creek. This would result
in some reduction in the elevation of the groundwater table during construction in the
area surrounding the site. There are no wells present in the surrounded area that would
be affected by a change in the groundwater table. This impact would be temporary
because groundwater levels would return to normal following constrrrction.
The construction contractor would obtain a discharge permit from the Colorado
Water Quality Control Division for construction dewatering and would be required to
employ best management practices to meet water qualify standards.

Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 16
3.1.3 Water Quality
Existing Conditions
The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission has classified Gore Creek for the
following uses: Class I cold water aquatic life, dorrestic water supply, Class I recreation
and irrigation. The Eagle River from Beldon downstream to the confluence with the
Colorado River (Colorado Deparhnent of Public Health and Environment, 2002) has the
same classified uses as Gore Creek.
Water quality sarnples from the Dowd Junction pulnp station, which are a mixture
of Eagle River and Gore Creek water, were collected between December 2002 and April
2003 (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The results are presented in Table 3. Iron and
manganese levels in the Eagle River are elevated due to the Eagle Mine Superfund site
located above Minturn. All other parameters met standards. A single analysis, conducted
on April 17,2003, for Giardia and Cryptosporidium, was negative.
Table 3: Dowd Junction Pump Station Sampling Results
(Brown and Caldwell. 2003)
Though pump station samples for iron and manganese at times exceeded drinking
water table value standards of 0.3 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L, respectively, these standards
exist for aesthetic purposes and not for health reasons. A new water supply, or "WS",
standard for iron, manganese and sulfate has recently been adopted by the Colorado
Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) to provide greater flexibility regarding
these constituents. Except where the WQCC has adopted site specific standards, the least
restrictive ofthe existing quality as ofJanuary l, 2000 or the table value standards,
applies to waters with a WS designation. Regarding the Dowd Junction pump station
water, ambient conditions are the least restrictive, and will become the new WS standard,
precluding fu ture exceedences.

Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project, the District would continue providing potable water to
the Town of Vail that rneets all applicable drinking water standards. WWTP effluent
standards would be maintained, preserving the water quality of Gore Creek down to the
confluence with the Eagle River.
Operation of the new raw water treatment facility would result in water quality
improvements on Gore Creek. During periods when domestic water is being diverted at
the Dowd Junction intake facility, there would be an equivalent reduction in the amount
of water being pumped from the East Vail wells. This would result in an increase in
stream flows in a 7-mile section of Gore Creek from the vicinity of the Vail Golf Course
downstream to the Eagle River. During winter months, when flows in Gore Creek are at
their lowest levels, the amount of improvement could be significant. For example, during
the rnonth of February, the flow in Gore Creek above the Vail WWTP outfall is typically
in the range of 10 to 12 cfs. Operation of the intake facility at Dowd Junction could
increase flows in Gore Creek by up to 4.6 cfs. This increase in flow would provide
additional dilution capacity to the stream, resulting in a reduction in the concentrations of
pollutants from urban runoff and other sources
3.2 Atmospheric Conditions (12-124 A 2)
Existing Conditions
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Colorado Department of
Health, Air Quality Control Division have established air quality standards to protect
public health and the environment. The National Ambient Air Qualify Standards

Carbon monoxide and particulate matter are two out of six principal pollutants, or
criteria pollutants. Areas which violate the NAAQS for one or more of the six criteria
pollutants2 are classified by EPA as non-attainment areas. According to the most recent
USA Air Quality Non-attainment Areas list (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
2003), Eagle County is neither included in the Non-Attainment Area for carbon
monoxide nor in the Non-Attainment Area for particulate matter. According to the EPA
National Emission Trends (NET) database3, which includes pollutants'levels at county
monitoring stations, particulate matter in Eagle County is currently below the NAAQS.
The District's current WWTP processes rrinimize odors and emissions from the
Vail plant. Additionally, the District pumps solids from the Vail WWTP to their Avon
plant for treatment, greatly diminishing the potential for odors. Negative pressure is
maintained in the Vail WWTP to prevent air from escaping. A series of fans and ducts
conveys air away from the wastewater treatment area. Ozone is then injected into the
ductwork, effectively neutralizing odors.
Analysis of lmpacts
For purposes of this proposed project, air pollutants of concem would be carbon
monoxide and fine particulate matter (PM2 5) from fuel combustion in motor vehicles,
and respirable particulate matter (PM16) or fugitive dust from construction activities and
wind erosion from disturbed areas. Atmospheric impacts would be minimized, in part,
through the implementation of erosion control methods as listed under the "Hydrologic
Conditions" section above. In addition, PMro and fugitive dust from construction
activities and wind erosion from disturbed areas would be minimal as all access roads are
paved. Sprayed water would be applied to unpaved transportation areas during
construction. Post-construction, the proposed project would result in no changes in odors
or emissions and the odor control system would be upgraded with the addition of new
equipment.
3.3 Geologic Conditions (12-124 A3l
Existing Conditions
The Town of Vail is situated in a structural trough that stretches from Vail Pass to
McCoy in north central Eagle Counfy. Elevations in the vicinity of Vail range from
7,726 feet at Dowd Junction to approximately 13,230 feet along the Gore Range. The
bedrock underlying all of Vail Mountain and the adjacent Gore Creek Valley is the
Mintum Formation of the Pennsylvanian age. The formation is primarily sedimentary

rock consisting of interfingering lenticular beds of sandstone, siltstone, shale and
conglomerate, within which laterally persistent limestone and dolomite marker beds
occur. Soils throughout the area are formed frorn these sedimentary materials with a
predominance of medium and coarse grained, poorly sorted sands.
During the quaternary period, several large valley glaciers were present within the
Gore Creek Valley which gouged out the lower valley floor, forming steep cliffs.
Oversteepening of the lower valley wall and deepening of the valley itself removed
upslope support for large sections offonnational bedrock which dipped towards the
valley axis. Eventually, large bedrock dip-slope landslides began to occur as glacial ice,
temporarily buttressing the dipping bedrock masses, melted aryay (Vail Resorts, Inc.,
1986).
The geology surrounding the District's treatment facility includes modified land-
surface deposits. Landscaping has extensively modified the land surface in the Town of
Vail. Artificial frll deposits are present both south and north of I-70 and throughout the I-
70 corridor. Specific information regarding the soil types found in the vicinity of the
proposed project can be found under the "Soil Types" section above.
The current streambank along the southern edge ofthe project site (Figs. 3 and 4) is
extremely steep with sparse grass and willow cover. A 2003 geotechnical study by HP
Geotech (HP Geotech, 2003) of fie site found no indications of significant slope
movement along the streambank.
Analysis of lmpacts
The 2003 geotechnical report referenced above suggests that project excavation
would provide an opportunity to reconstruct the embankment with structural material and
boulders or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE). If the embankment is not excavated,
the report recommends that bank stabilify be evaluated during construction.
The streambank, which is on Town of Vail properfy, would not be changed by the
proposed project.
3.4 Biotic Conditions (12-124 A 4)
3.4.1 Vegetation
Existing Conditions
Vegetation is limited primarily to noxious weeds in the area surrounding the
existing and proposed site because much of the site is paved and gravel surfaces. Sparse
grass and willows are located along the steep stream bank bordering Gore Creek and the
Diskict's facilities (Figs. 3 and 4).

Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project, site vegetation would be irnproved in conjunction with
landscaping. Vegetation to the south of Gore Creek, primarily coniferous forest, would
not be disturbed by the proposed project.
3.4.2 Threatened, Endangered, Proposed, and Candidate Species
Existing Conditions
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service federally listed and candidate species list (U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 2003) was used to detennine the threatened, endangered,
proposed and candidate species that occur or may occur in Eagle County. Table 5
provides a list of species and their status in Eagle County.

There is no suitable habitat for any ofthese species at the site.
Analysis of lmpacts
The project site is within the hunting range ofthe bald eagle. The boreal toad can
be found in the Gore Creek drainage running through the Vail Golf Course, upstream
from the proposed project. The project is not expected to impact any of these species, as
the site does not contain suitable habitat for any ofthe species listed in Table 4.

3.4.3 Stream Ecosystem and Riparian Habitat
Existing Conditions
Water quality throughout the Gore Creek drainage is generally high, although there
is sorne degradation from nonpoint sources ofpollution including runofffrom I-70 and
urbanized areas. In the vicinity of the proposed project, the stream has been channelized
to accommodate the Forest Road Bridge to the east, buildings and parking lot to the
north, and the bike path to the south (Fig. 3). The bike path bridge crosses the stream at
the site of the existing WWTP. The stream has a very steep, sloped bank and riprap
shoreline with sparse willows. There is a gas station located immediately north of Gore
Creek to the west of the proposed project. A drop structure and purnp station for Vail
snowmaking is located across froln the proposed project on the southern bank of Gore
Creek.
The lower reach of Gore Creek, extending from Forest Road Bridge downstream
approximately 4 miles to the Eagle River, has been designated as a Gold Medal Fishery
by Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOWI. DOW classifies those streams with at least 40
pounds of trout and 12 fish over 14 inches in length per surface acre as Gold Medal trout
streams. A 2000 fish survey by the DOW found 45 trout over 14 inches per acre in Gore
Creek just below the WWTP and 73 trout over 14 inches per acre in the reach
immediately above the Eagle River confluence (Colorado Division of Wildlife, 2000).
This section of Gore Creek has a good distribution of pool and riffle habitat with cover
for fish provided by large boulders and overhanging shoreline vegetation. The Gold
Medal reach of Gore Creek provides opportunities to catch large ftout and is an important
recreational resource for the Town of Vail and Eagle County.
The Vail WWTP discharges directly into Gore Creek just above the confluence of
Red Sandstone Creek. Plant effluent complies with all discharge regulations and
provides an important source of nutrients in the Gold Medal reach. At one time copper in
effluent waters, originating in one of the District's source wells and from corrosion of
pipes, was a concem. Fish are very sensitive to dissolved copper at low concentrations
and the wastewater treatment plant does not remove copper. The impact on human health
was not an issue because concentrations were well below drinking water standards. The
District addressed the elevated copper concentrations by adding corrosion inhibitors and
a sequestering agent to Vail's drinking water and by minimizing the use of the one well
known to be a source of copper. These methods have proven effective in maintaining
coppei Condentrationd *ithin waSte load limiti an0 below aquatic life standards and
would not change under the proposed project.
Analysis of lmpacts
During the construction phase of the proposed project, best management practices
would be used for soil stabilization, erosion prevention, and protection ofthe riparian
area adjacent to the construction site (see "Hydrologic Conditions" and "Geologic
Conditions" above).

Post-construction erosion control BMP's would be implernented to prevent sand
and other debris from the parking areas and driveways from entering the creek. These
improvements would be beneficial to the water quality in Gore Creek and would reduce
the risk of contamination entering the creek frorn the project site.
Use of the Dowd Junction intake as a source of raw water would enhance Gore
Creek streamflows due to wells in East Vail being operated less frequently.
3.5 Other Environmental Conditions (12-12-4 A 5)
3.5.1 PetroleumContamination
Existing Conditions
The site ofthe proposed project is adjacent to a gasoline retail and autornotive
repair garage. An environmental assessment (Dofy and Associates, 2002) of the parcel
on which the proposed facility expansion would occur found that there was evidence of
subsurface petroleum contamination. This contamination is believed to have originated
from the gasoline and automotive station.
Extensive remediation efforts have been made, including a soil vapor extraction/air
sparge system that operates on a portion ofthe site adjacent to the westem boundary of
the proposed project. Remediation efforts have effectively reduced groundwater
concentrations of standard gasoline compounds (benzene, toluene, ethybenzene and total
xylenes). Benzene remains detectable in one well on the project site at a concentration of
0.97 pglL, which is significantly less than the Colorado groundwater standard of 5.0 pgll.
(Dory and Associates, 2002). The environmental report suggests that there may be
residual soil contamination on the property, at depths of 10 to l8 feet below the existing
ground. Chevron (which owned the adjacent gasoline retail facility until 1989) began a
groundwater study in May of 2003 to further characterize and monitor possible
contaminants.
Analysis of lmpacts
On the proposed project site, soil samples will be collected during the demolition of
the Old Town Shops building to determine if residual soil contamination exists. In the
event that the results of these tests determine remedial action is necessary, the District
will comply with all federal, state and local regulations regarding soil removal and
disposal, and dewatering during construction.
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmenial Impact Report Page23
3.6 VisualConditions (12-124 A6)
Existing Conditions
The site ofthe proposed facilify expansion is currently occupied by the abandoned
and rundown Old Town Shops building and is used for parking. Under existing
conditions, the building and the site have not been maintained and the visual appearance
of the site is degraded (Fig. 2) and not consistent with the surrounding area, As shown in
Figures 3 and 4, there is no barrier along the edge of the parking area above Gore Creek.
Gravel and debris from the parking area has accumulated on the embankment above Gore
Creek and prevented the establishment of adequate vegetation to prevent erosion. This
area is quite degraded from the more natural appearance of Gore Creek in many other
areas and is highly visible from the bike path.
Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project rrisual conditions of the site would be greatly improved.
The Old Town Shops building will be removed and replaced by a new building and
landscaping that meet the requirements of the Vail Design Review Board and Town of
3.7 Land Use Conditions (12-124 A7)
Existing Conditions
The District's current facility is zoned General Use. The Old Town Shops parcel is
zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and Outdoor Recreation. Sunounding areas have
recreational, mixed cornmercial and industrial uses. The bike trail crosses and runs along
the southern bank of Gore Creek in the vicinity of the WWTP. The Vail Shop Yard is
located across the South Frontage Road and a gas station and an auto repair garage is to
the west. Town of Vail oDen space is located on both sides of Gore Creek to the east of
Forest Road.
Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project there would be no changes in land uses to the site and
surrounding areas. The District proposes to rezone all ofthe proposed project parcels to
General Use.
3.8 Circufation and Transportation Conditions (12-124 A8l
Existing Conditions
Currently the District's facility houses their administrative offrces and the Vail
wastewater plant and accommodates 29 employees. Administrative offices are accessed
'I

from Forest Road. Deliveries and operational staff access the faciliry via the South
Frontage Road.
Analysis of lmpacts
The District's administrative offices would continue to be accessed from Forest
Road. The South Frontage Road entrance would be improved to provide access to the
new building and rooftop parking. Deliveries would continue to be via South Frontage
Road. The District does not anticipate an increased frequency ofdeliveries ofsuppiies,
though quantities may increase.
During construction there would be an increase in traffic due to construction
vehicles and crews at the site. The District anticipates hiring one additional DWT
operations staff member under the proposed project, which would result in a minimal
increase in site trafhc.
3.9 Populations Characteristics (12-124 A 9)
Existing Conditions
There are no residential units at or adjacent to the site ofthe proposed project.
Analysis of lmpacts
No changes in the population characteristics of the site or surrounding areas are
anticipated under the proposed project.
4 Summory (1 2-12-4 B)
4.1 Unavoidable Adverse Effects
The potential adverse effects of the proposed project would be temporary
construction impacts and associated nuisance factors. Adverse constnrction related
effects would include increased traffic, dust, noise, vehicle emissions and sedirnentation
from storm events.
4.2 Proposed Mitigation Measures
Best managernent practices would be utilized to minirnize adverse impacts during
construction. BMPs would be designed to: reduce noise and traffic, minimize dust,
attenuate stormwater runoff, capture sediment, provide a buffer zone between the
construction site and Gore Creek. terrporarily stabilize soils during construction, and
revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction.
l
Ii1
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 25
The rnain access for construction traffic to the site would be from South Frontage
Road. This will require an access permit from the Colorado Deparhnent of
Transportation (CDOT). CDOT will require that the contractor develop a traffic
management plan to insure safely and to minimize delays and inconvenience to local
traffic. In addition the hours of construction may be limited by the Town of Vail to limit
noise and construction traffic.
4.3 PossibleAlternatives
The proposed site location was selected for a variety of reasons. The District's Vail
wastewater collection system has been designed and built around their current WWTP
facility. The cost and technical complications that would be associated with developing a
second WWTP on a different site would be prohibitive. There are very few available
building sites in the Town of Vail and the disused Old Town Shops parcel was available
and is conveniently adjacent to the District's WWTP. The proposed DWF would take
advantage of existing infrastrucfure associated with the Dowd Junction snowmaking
intake and pipeline to convey water to the project site.
An analysis of alternative drinking water treatment technologies was completed by
Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). Iron and manganese concentrations,
contact time requirements and turbidity, as well as site constraints, were the primary
factors that were used in evaluating altematives. The Actiflocry treatment process and
ultraviolet disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were selected.
Alternative processes that were evaluated are presented in Table 6.

described under "Unavoidable Adverse Effects" above. The result would be an improved
water supply and wastewater faciiity that would be operated in a manner that enhances
and protects instream flows through the Town of Vail and the Gold Medal reach of Gore
Creek, providing a long tenn benefit to the aquatic environment. In addition, the
proposed project would increase the reliability and flexibility of the water supply and
wastewater systems that serve the Town of Vail.
4.5 lrreversibleEnvironmentalChanges
Irreversible environmental changes at the project site and in surrounding areas have
already occurred. As described in this report, the proposed project would result in
improvements at the site and to WWTP and DWF operations, providing a benefit to the
Town of Vail and to Gore Creek.
4.6 Growth lnducing lmpacts
The District's Vail facilify upgrade and expansion has been proposed in response to
planned growth in the Town of Vail. The project is designed to address increases in
demand for water and wastewater services that will be generated by the planned
Lionshead redevelopment and other proposed projects. This development will include a
five-star luxury hotel, a convention center, riverfront tormhomes and rnore than 400
additional "hot beds", 50,000 square feet ofretail space, and a small nutnber ofsingle
family home sites (Town of Vail, 2003). The proposed project is in response to growth
and would not be growth inducing.

A SIMPLE SYSTEM FOR DIFFICULT WATERS The pre-engineered Actifloc system
consistently delivers high-qualiry drinking
water. The plant is designed to rreat
surface water with high color, high TOC
or high turbidiry - up ro 1,000 NTU,
with spikes up to 3,000 NTU. Engineered
for agiliry, the sysrem offers quick
chemical opdmization and irutantaneous
srart-up and shut-down. It is especially
suited for rhe follo*'ing applications:. Highly turbid water. High color and/or high TOC
High algae levels
Cold water
Flashv waters wirh rapidly fluctuaring
raw !\'ater sources
Facilities with space restrictions that
demand a small footprint
Plants that frequenrly start up and shut

AN INNOVATIVE COMBINATION OF
TECHNOLOGIES
HIGH PERFORMANCE THAT'S HIGHI.Y
The Accifloc [eatment process combines
the Actifloo clarification process and rhe
Microfloc Mixed Media filter, which is
supported by the new SCUBA- block
underdrain.
Actiflo: A proven clarification tech-
nology, the Actiflo process uses a
microsand ballast that firnctions as a seed,
enhancing floc formation and settling.
Raw water enters the coagulation tank,
where chemical coegulant and efficient
mixing are used to destabilize suspended
solids and colloidal matter. Polymer and
microsand are added in rhe injection
tank The uearment continues as the
water flows to the maturation tank, where
conditions are ideal for the formation of
polymer "bridges" between the microsand,
floc and destabilized suspended solids.
The fully ballasted floc settle out rapidly
in the settlins rank and are removed from
the treated water. Water then passes
rhrough lamellar setding rubes and onro
the filrration stage.
High microsand solids loading
stabilizes the process when the flow
rate, turbidiry or temperarure fluctuares
rapidly. Detention dme is very short and
the response to changes in chemical
dosage is very rapid (i0-15 minutes),
allowing the process to reach a steady
operational srare in less than 30 minutes.
Mixed Medic Developed by Microfloc,
Mixed Media filtration is extremely
effective on tough-to-treat waters. Even
under extreme spike loading, the
combination of Mixed Media filtration
and Actiflo darificadon allows the Actifloc
system to resist break through by
Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia
and provides a consistent high qualiry
effluent.
The Actifloc plant offers a stable system
with a compact footprint and reduced
chemical t'rr., .I.ypi.r.i overflow rates as
high as 30 gpm/ftz allow system footprints
to be much smaller than convendona.l
systems of similar capaciry. The intense
mixine and microsand contact reduce the
use of chemicals, allowing significant
(typically 20-50o/o) chemical savings
compared to other clarification processes.
Actifloc is available in modular tank
designs with capacides of 0.25, 0.5, 1 and
2MGD.

without a small excavated
basin upstream, with an
uncontolled outlet or spillway
constructed of large stones or
aggregate. Used to slow the
release of runoff aliowing
most of silt to settle.
Used in conjunction with and
at the lower end of other
control measures, such as
dikes, swales, slope drains,
construction entrances, and
vehicle wash areas.
Sediment Basis Settling pond with a
controlled stormwater release
sfucture. Used to collect and
store runoff from conshuction
activities so that the majority
of sediment settles out. Used
as both a temporary and
Dermanent control measure.
Generally used for disturbed
area greater than 5 acres in
size in conjunction with other
controi measures.
Topography dependent. Not
for use in active streams.
Outlet Protection Stone, riprap, concrete, or

STJMMARY
The applicant, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, represented by Braun Associates,
Inc., is requesting a minor subdivision pursuanl to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivision, Vail
Town Code, to allow for the replatting of Lot 31 and Tracls C & D, Vail Village 2no Filing; a
request to rezone Lot 31 and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2nd Filing from Ouldoor Recreation

& D, Vail Village 2no Filing. The proposed final plal further describes the existing properties
as Lot 31 , Tract C, Tract D, Parcels 1,2, & 3, and an Unplatted Parcel.
The intent of these requests is to allow for the consolidation of Eagle River Waler and
Sanilation District (ERWSD) properties and to facilitate an expansion of the existing ERWSD
water and sewage treatment plant.
Based upon staff's review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and the
evidence and testimony presented, the Communily Development Department recommends
that the Planning and Environmental Commission approve the requesled minor subdivision,
approve the requested conditional use permit, and forward a recommendation of
approval lo the Town Council of the requested rezoning, subject to the findings and
conditions noted in Section lX of this memorandum.
lt.DESCRIPTION OF REOUEST
The applicant, ERWSD, represented by Braun Associates, lnc., is requesting a minor
subdivision pursuanl 1o Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivision, Vail Town Code, to allow Jor the
replatting of Lot 31 and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2no Filing; a request to rezone Lot 31 and
Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2no Filing from Ouldoor Recreation (OR) and Lionshead Mixed Use
2 (LMU-2) zone districts to the General Use (GU) zone district; and a request for a
conditional use permit pursuant 1o Section 12-9C-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code,.to
allow for the operation ol a waler and sewage treatmenl plant and a public parking facility
and structure, located at 846 West Forest Road. A vicinity map of the site has been
attached for reference (Attachment A).
Rezoning
The existing ERWSD plant site is zoned General Use (GU)district. The additionalERWSD
properties are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use-2 (LMU-2) district (i.e. Tract C and
Parcel 2) and Ouldoor Recreation (OR) district (i.e. Unplatted Parcel and Parcel 3). The
proposed rezoning request will apply General Use (GU) zoning to allthe ERWSD properties
(i.e. proposed Lot 1). The General Use (GU) district allows for both water and sewage
treatment plants and for public parking facilities and struclures as conditional uses. An
existing zoning map has been attached Jor reference (Attachment B).
Minor Subdivision
The proposed minor suMivision request will consolidale several ERWSD owned properties
into a single lot. A copy of the proposed final plat has been attached for reference
(Attachment D). As noted on the proposed final plat, Lot 31 , Tracl C, Tract D, Parcels 1, 2,
& 3, and an Unplatted Parcel willall be resubdivided into one property (i.e. Lot 1, VailVillage
2"d Filing).
The proposed conditional use permit requests will facililate the expansion of the existing
ERWSD plant. The existing plant will need lo be expanded to accommodate the anticipated
redevelopment and build-out ol Vail, especially the anticipated redevelopment of Lionshead.
The conditional use permit requests will also facilitate the construction of a parking
struclure. This parking structure will accommodate ERWSD employee parking needs and
provide additional public parking opportunities. The applicant is requesting that public
parking be temporarily allowed on the site during the 2003-2004 ski season. Once the
ERWSD plant expansion has been constructed, the applicant is requesting that public
parking be allowed on the site during weekends, special evenls, and other occasions when
overflow parking is needed. Architectural plans have been attached for reference
(Attachment E). Additionally, an Environmental lmpact Report has been attached for
reference (Attachment F).
Conditional Use Permit
The applicant's more detailed descriplion ol the request has been attached for reference
(Attachment C). Please note that the Planning and Environmental Commission will not be
reviewing a conditional use permil requesl for a Vail Resorts snowcat access road, as such
a road does not require a conditional use permil. The proposed snowcat access road,
bridge, retaining walls, revegetation plan, etc. will be reviewed by the Design Review Board.

).
ilt.BACKGROUND
The ERWSD plant was originally constructed in the early 1970's and expanded in the early
1980's. In the past year, ERWSD has acquired addilional adjacent properties lo facilitate a
needed expansion of the existing plant. The proposed plant expansion will be necessary lo
accommodate the anticipated, upcoming build-out and redevelopment of Vail, especially the
redevelopment of Lionshead. The need to expand the existing plant onto the old Town
shops parcel was recommended in the Lionshead Redevelopment Masler Plan in Sections
4.9.4.5 and 5.18.

Chapter 4: Master Plan Recommendations- Overall Study Area (in part)
4.9.4.5 Old Town Shops
The old Town shops, located just west of the Vail sanitation plant, were identified as
a potential employee housing location during the master planning process. There
are, however, other significant demands on this site, including potential expansion of
the sanitation plant and the need for a new snowcat mountain access route from the
Vail Associates service yard. ln addition, the presence of the sanitation plant on one
side and the existing gas station an the other reduces the desirability of this location

for employee or locals housing.
Chapter 5: Detailed Recommendations (in part)
5.18 Old Town Shops
The old town shops site has been targeted for a variety of uses throughout the
master planning process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail
sanitation plant, and Vail Associates mountain services. Ihese uses may be
appropriate for the site, but they are not compatible. lnput from the Eagle River
Water and Sanitation District suggests that the property will most likely be used for
expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard. lt the old town shops are
removed the existing storage component will be replaced at the Town of Vail public

the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town.
Staff Response: Staff believes the proposed rezoning is consislenl with the above
listed purpose of the zoning regulations and the General Use (GU) district. Staff also
believes the proposed rezoning is consistent the with the above listed specific goal
slatements of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. The applicant's proposal is
specifically recommended in Sections 4.9.4.5 and 5.18 in the Lionshead
Redevelopmenl Master Plan.
2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the
existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents.
Staff Response: The ERWSD planl currently exists on the site and the proposed
rezoning will facililate an expansion of the plant deemed necessary to accommodate
land uses throughout the entire Town of Vail. The rezoning will also facilitate an
increase in the availability of public parking.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenienl, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives.
Staff Response: The proposed rezoning will facilitate the enhancement of the waler
and sewer system and public parking syslem within the Town of Vail, thus improving
the relationship among land uses and the carrying capacity of the community as it
relates to new growth and water quality.
4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of
an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the
amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole.
Slaff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of
lhe waler and sewer syslem within the Town of Vail, thus allowing for the orderly
growth and viability of the community. A portion of the ERSWD site is currently
zoned General Use (GU) district, lhus rezoning all of ERSWD's properties to the
same district is not considered a spot zoning. This development is also specifically
recommended in the Lionshead Master Plan.
5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or
beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to
water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and
other desirable natural features,
Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of
the waler and sewer syslem within the Town of Vail, thus positively affecting the
above listed criteria. An Environmental lmpact Report has been attached for
reference. This expansion will help insure water qualily is prolected by facilitating
the treatmenl of sewage.
6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district.
Staff Response: Slaff believes thal the proposed rezoning is consistent with the
o
.;
above listed purpose statement of the General Use (GU) district.
7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how
conditions have changed since the zoning designation ol the subiect property
was adopled and is no longer appropriate.
Staff Response: Since the ERSWD's last plant expansion, numerous
redevelopment projects are now anticipaled throughout lhe Town of Vail, including a
large scale redevelopment ol Lionshead. An expansion of the ERSWD plant is
necessary to accommodate this redevelopment and the further build-out of Vail.
Also, the availability of public parking is inadequate lo meet both current and future
demands. The rezoning will facilitate an increase in public parking availability.
8. Such other lactors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem
applicable to the proposed rezoning.
The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinqs
before recommendinq approval of an Amendment to the Official Zonino Map of the
Town of Vail:

I.Introduction
.'4L Sunmaty of Ptoposal
The Eagle fuver Water & Sanj.tatjon District ("District') is proposing to expand the capacity of
the existing waste water plant and construct a new drinking water treatrnent plant ("the Plant')
located at the intersection of Forest Road and the Sou*r Frontage Road rn Vail. The District
recendy acquired land from the To'rn of Vail (the OId Town Shops) to facilitate this plant
expansion. The need for the pla-nt e>,pansion is generated by future development and build-out
of the Town of Vai.l and is largelv required due to projected redevelopment in the Lionshead
area as directed by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master PIan.

The District has been working cooperauvely with \rarl Resorts in order to relocate the existing
snowcat route from Forest Road. Part of this proposal is a request to allow snowcat access
across District property to a bridge across Gore Creek. \rarl Resorts, under separate application,
is seeking approval for the nev' snov'cat bridge across the Gore Creek and a nertr'access route
connecting to the Cascade \X/a.v (formerly Westin Hi Ho) trail on Vail Mountain. This
rmprovem€nt will reduce conflicts with the residents along Forest Road and provide a more
,'lirect route from Vail Resorts' maintenance faciliw located on the north side of *re S. Frontaqe
Road.
''...--:'
Additionally, the District is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow public
parking on the District's property. This permit v'ould allou' public parking temporarilv on the
Old Tov'n Shops site and within the existi:rg parking lot (approximately 80 - 100 spaces) after
rernoval of the exisring Old Tov'n Shops. This approval would allow this temporar,v parking for
one ski season and would help the Tou'n reduce parking pressure on South Frontage Road. In
addition, the conditional use petmit v'ouid allow public parking in the District's parkrng lot
upon expansion of that facilitv on v'eekends, during special events, or odrer times rvhen
overflorx.' parking is needed by the comrnuniry. This approval v'ould allow parking for
approxirnately 65 cars.

u.Description of the Proiect
'4L Bacl<gtound
The oaginal wastewater treatrnerrt plaflt was developed in the early 1970's. That facility
occupies the site where the offrces and parking exist today on land zoned Genetal Use (GLJ). In
the early 1980's additional land was acquired ftom the Town of Vail and the plant was
redeveloped and elpanded. The land acquired in the 1980's is zoned Outdoor Recreation and is
developed with the existing wastewater treatrnent faciliry.
This year the District acquired three additional parcels ftom the Town of Vail to allow for
expansion to the plant. These parcels are currently occupied by the Old Town Shops, parking
and driveways accesshg the adjacent CDOT right-of-way. The parcels developed with the Old
Town Shops are currendy zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and the parcel to the south of the
shops (developed as parking) is zoned Outdoor Recreation. See map below.

C. Proposed Development
The proposed expansion inciudes an expanded wastewatet treatment faciliry and new drinking
water treatment faciliry. The proposed uses will occur as an expansion of the existing structures
on-site and rrdl occur on the newly acquired parcels of land (Old Tou'n Shops). The footprint
of the new structure is 12,600 sq. ft. The ptopos.d structore is burli subs tantially below grade
and will appear as a srngle-story with parking on top of the strLrcrure. The proposed use will
include treatrnent faci.]rties and office areas. The nev'plant area u'ill be 12,600 sq. ft. of which
138 sq. ft. is offrce area. There will be a total increase rn parking of 26 parking spaces for a total
of 65 parking spaces on-site. There is a negligible hcrease in the staffrng levels as a result of the
proposed expansion with the addition of I employee for a total of 30 employees. The District is
taking advantage of the surface area created in the top of the plant facilitl' u'hich has a capacigv
for 65 parking spaces.

The expanded wastewater treatment plant is designed to operate at 5.6 MGD (maximum daily
flow) and 7.0 MGD (peak hourly florr). The ne*- drinking water plant is designed to operate at
3.0 MGD. Refer to the Em-ironmental Impact Report for more detail on the operations of the
facilities on this site.
In conjunction w-ith this appJication is a conditional use reguest to allov snowcats to traverse
the District's property from the Vail Resort's maintenance yard to a proposed bridge across
Gore Creek. The snorvcat access btidge is being proposed by \rail Resort's under separate
appiication and tlat bridge and access route to the Cascade \Xay trail are located entirely on
Town of Vail properry. The proposed access route will replace the route currendy 6syeling up
West Forest Road. A 25' wide access easement to allo$/ snowcats on District property wiil be
established by a separate easement document.
The proposal also includes a subsurface snowmaking pump facility to replace that faciJ-ity
located at the tennis court site on West Forest Road for use by Vail Resorts.
D.Rezoning Request
In order to allow the proposed uses and consolidate the existing parcels of land, a consistent
zoning designation is required for the property. The current wastevater treatrnent facilities are
developed on 4 contiguous but separate parcels of land. The prima4' uses are located on a
parcel zone General Use w-hjle a portion of the existing facility is located on a parcel zoned
Outdoor Recreation. UtiJity faciJities are a conditional use in the General Use zone district but
ate not listed either as a perrrifted or conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation zone disttict.
The newly acquired parcels to the v'est of the existing faciJity are zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2
(LMU2) and Outdoor Recreation. Please refer to the zoning map below. The LMU2 zone
district would allow the proposed plant expansion subject to a conditional use permig however,
to create consistencv the newly acquired parcels are proposed to be rezoned to General Use.

Our Ana\'sis:
The proposed rezoning is a logical extension of the existing land uses on the subject
property and on neighboring propeties. The uses and development limitations will be
established through the conditional use process and v'ill ensure ttre development of an
ordedy viable community. Th. proposed land uses are in the overall interest of the
communiry given the need for utility facilities.

Our Anal]'sis:
The proposed rezoning will have litde impact on the natural environment of the site or
the Town as a whole. The site itself does not contain any urrique natural qualities other
than being located adjacent to Gore Creek. The proposed site is currendy developed
w-ith the Old Town Shops, previously owned by the Town of Vai\ which includes
pawing and grading of the entie site. Measures will be taken to improve the drainage
and vegetative qualicies of the site.

Our Analysis:
The proposed zone district is consistent ,*'ittr t}re purposes of the General Use zone
district. Additionally, the proposed land use for the propertv is a utility faciJity, snortr'cat
access route, and public parking v'hich are perrnitted by the proposed zone district by
conditional use permit. The proposed zone distdct u'ill allorr,' for adequate lighg air, and
open spaces and allow for development of public or quasi-public uses harmonious with
the neighborhood and community as a whole.
The extent to v.,hich tbe qone distict amendment dtmonstrales how conditiotts haue changed ince tbe

Our AnalI,sis:
The needs of tbe community have grown over the last 30 years tlus creating the need
for utfities to keep pace vrith gtov,th of tle atea. The proposed rezoning will allow the
expansion of the adjacent wastewater treatrrent faciliw and the construction of a new
&inking water treatrnent faciliry. The existing zoning designations are no longer
apptopriate given the cufiert development of tle parcels.

1 Introduction
The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (the "Disnict") proposes to expand
the Vail wastewater treatment plant and develop of a new raw water treatment plant.
These facilities would be located on a parcel of land adjacent to the existing wastewater
freatment plant at the intersection of Forest Road and South Frontage Road. The District
intends to implement the project in fwo phases- Phase i includes the expansion of the
District's physical facilities. New construction would provide the space needed to
expand the wastewater treatment plant and install a new drinking water treatment facility
(D\\tr). Installation of DWF equipment and commencement of operations would occur
in Phase 2.
This Environmental Impact Report follows the report content requirements of
Chapter 12 of the Town of Vail Code. Town of Vail sections and sub-sections are
referenced in parenthesis in report headings, with minor organizational modifications
specific to this project when necessary.
2 Generql Stqtement (1 2-12-5 B)
2.1 Project Owner/Sponsor (12-12-5 B)
The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District proposes upgrading their existing
Vail wastewater treatment facilities. The project also includes the addition of a drinking
water treatment facility and new raw water source.
The District provides water and wastewater utilities to approximately 54,400 acres
in Eagle Counfy. The towns of Vail, Minturn, and Avon, and the mixed-use
developments served by Arrowhead, Beaver Creek, Berry Creek, Eagle-Vail, Edwards,
Traer Creek, Holland Creek, Bachelor Gulch (Smith Creek), and Squaw Creek
(Cordillera) Metropolitan Districts are included within District boundaries. The District
currently manages systems that serve 22,522 water and 22,973 wastewater single-family
equivalent units (SFEs). While the District's permanent population is estimated to be
approximately 20,000, its population during peak season exceeds 40,500 residents due to
the influx of temporary residents for recreation and tourism purposes during the winter
and summer seasons.
2.2 Proposed Project Description and Purpose (12-12-5 Bl
The proposed plant expansion and upgrade would enable the District to serve future
deveiopment and to provide redundant water supply and treatment facilities and optimize
system operations in the Vaii Valley. The proposed project includes:
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page2
1. Expansion of the current Vail facilily onto an adjacent parcel imrnediately to
the west, which is owned by the District.
2. Upgrade of the current wasteu'ater treatnent plant (WWTP) to provide
additional secondary clarifier capacity. This *,ould supplement the function of
the two existing circular secondary clarifiers and provide greater operational
flexibiliry for the activated siudge process.
3. The construction of a new drinking water treatment facility. The source of raw
water would be an existing diversion at the confluence of Gore Creek and the
Eagle fuver. The new water source would be connected to the water teatment
plant by an existing pumping facility and pipeline currentiy used for
snowmaking at the Vail lr4ountain ski area.
A scbematic of the water supply and ',\'astewater ffeatment system is presented in
Fizure 1.
Figure l: Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment System Schematic
2.3 Funding Source and Time Schedule (12-12-5 B\
Engineering and preliminary work for the proposed project is funded through the
District fund balance at this time. Once the design plan, which is currently il a
preliminary phase, has been hnalized and project costs determined, bonds would be
issued. Construction is targeted to begin in the spring of 2004 with a constmction period
of an estimated 2i0 days. Prior to construction an existing structure, the Old Town
Shops building, will be removed from the proposed project site. Demolition of this
building is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2003.

2.4 Project Boundaries (12-12-5 B 1)
The current Vail WWTP is a three-story, 50,500 square foot facility located in
Eagle County within the corporate limits of the Town of Vail, Colorado, at 846 Forest
Road. The proposed project includes the expansion of the District's Vail facilities on
their current lot and an adjacent parcei immediately to the west. South Frontage Road
runs parallel to I-70 and defines the northem boundary ofthe existing and proposed
facilities. The site is bordered by Forest Road to the east and Gore Creek to the south.
To the west of the proposed site there is a gas station and an auto repair garage.
2.5 Present and Proposed Site Uses (12-12-5 B 2)
2.5.1 Physical Facilities
Current Facility
The District's current facility houses administrative offices as well as the Vail
WWTP, and accommodates 29 employees. Current vehicle access to the site is from
Forest Road (parking for District employees and the general public and access to the
District's administrative offices). The site and a general maintenance area for operations
personnel may also be accessed via South Frontage Road. Vehicle parking is located to
the east and west of the existing building. The larger, western parking area is built at
ground level above the current WWTP. Three fleet vehicles are stored at night and
approximately 25 vehicles are parked during the workday.
Proposed Facility Expansion
The existing facility footprint and the proposed expansion are demarcated in the
site plan (Appendix A). The District owns the project site. The Old Town Shops
property, which is approximately 0.51 acres, was purchased by the District in2002.
The proposed site presently houses a single 3,930 square foot abandoned strucfure,
the Old Town Shops (Fig. 2), which is scheduled to be demolished by the fall of 2003.
Pre-demolition asbestos removal from the building was completed on April 14,20031 .
Air monitoring by Boulder Environmental Management found the site to be negative for
asbestos content. Lead sampling performed by Boulder Environmental Management on
February 14,2003 found that no building components were toxic for lead. Testing results
are on file with the Town of Vail.
l
i
I.t
r Asbeslos removal was done by American Abatement Inc. ofDenver, Colorado.

Environmental Impact Report Page 4
Figure 2: Old Town Shops building
(slated for demolition, facing northwest)
The site has an estimated 145 feet of frontage along South Frontage Road and is
bordered to the south by approximately 180 feet along Gore Creek. The property drops
about l2 feet from the Frontage Road and the bank adjacent to the creek is also very
steep. The rear of the lot is generally flat (Doty and Associates, 2002). New building
construction would extend to the west of District's existing facilities, adding
approximateiy 12,900 square feet to their current 50,500 square feet. The addition and
improvement of asphalted areas would also occur along the westem and southem
boundaries of the properfy. A parking lot for approximately 60 vehicles, located on the
roofofthe expanded faciliry, would be accessed by both South Frontage Road and Forest
Road.
The proposed building expansion would include space for a new water treatment
facility and the addition of two additional secondary clarifiers for the WWTP.
Descriptions of the proposed water treatment and u'aste.*'ater treatment processes are
provided in the following sections of this report.
Vail Resorts has proposed a bridge across Gore Creek to the southwest of the
Districts' facilities with access along the westem boundary of the site. This bridge is not
a part of this proposal but is included in the site plan (Appendix A) to insure that the
District's and Vail Resorts' proposals are compatible. The preliminary site plan for the
bridge, prepared by Alpine Engineering, would allow Vail Resorts to bypass residential
areas along Forest Road u'hen accessing the ski area from their shop yard on the north
side of the South Frontage Road. The new route would take snow cats and other ski area
maintenance traffic across Frontage Road, past the District's facilities and across Gore
Creek to the ski area. Cunently snow cats must drive down Forest Road and through a
residential area to access the resort.

2.5.2 Wastewater Facilities
Current Wastewater Treatment Processes
The District operates three wastewater plants in the towns of Vail, Avon and
Edwards. Wastewater collection within the District is done through a system of
collection lines that function primarily by gravity flow with several lift stations. The
District's Vail wastewater treatment plant, located in the lower level of their Vail facility,
was constructed in 1969 and most recently expanded in 1982. A2002 facility upgrade
increased the facility's Biological oxygen Demand (BoD) loading capaciry.
Tbe Vail WWTP uses an activated sludge treatment process that consists of
influent screening followed by aeration basins that can be operated in series or parallel.
Flow from the aeration basins is then conveyed into secondary clarifiers, which in turn
discharge into nitrification basins. These basins discharge to ultra violet disinfection
facilities before discharging into Gore Creek. Solids resulting from the wastewater
trearmenr process are pumped to the Avon plant for treatrnent where residual sludge is
digested and a Class "A" biosolids produced.
The current Vail W-WTP hydraulic design capacity is:
2.7 million gallons per day (MGD) maximum 30-day average daily flow
4.2 MGD maximum daily flow
5.4 MGD peak hourly flow.
Table I shows recent 12-month effluent characteristics for the Vail WWTP. Plant
effluent was well within permit limits for all parameters. The Vail WWTP is currently
operating effectively and has been consistently meeting all applicable watel quality
standards.

Proposed Expansion and Upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Facilities
The proposed project is designed to increase wastewater treatment capacity at the
curent plant in response to planned development in Lionshead and Vail Village, as well
as anticipated stricter State effluent limits for nitrate and phosphorus. The project
includes additional secondary clarifiers, which would increase plant capacity without
changing the processes used at the plant or the quaiity ofthe effluent. The point of
discharge to Gore Creek is adjacent to the WWTP near the confluence of Red Sandstone
Creek and would not be changed under the proposed project.
The District believes it would be able to handle the additionai loading that will
result from redevelopment within the Town of Vail u'ith minimal modifications that
include the addition oftwo secondary clarifiers. The project objectives for the new
secondary clarifi er project include:
r Provide additional secondary clarifier capacity to permit future operation of the
Vail activated sludge system as a single sludge system for biological nutrient
removal.
r Improve the operational flexibility associated vyith the activated siudge system
by providing a wide range of operational configurations and loadings with
regard to the secondary clarification and rerum sludge pumping.
The new secondary clarifiers would be located in the building expansion to the
rvest and south ofthe existing clarifiers. The projected hydraulic design capacity for the
proposed project is:
3.5 MGD maximum 30-day average daily flow
5.6 MGD maximum daily flow
7.0 MGD peak hourly flow.
Once the clarifiers have been constructed. piping, refurn siudge pumps, scum
collection and pumping equipment, and sludge removal equipment would be installed.
Operational improvements to the WWTP would also include improved automation and
better aeration blower control.
2.5.3 Water Treatment Plant
Current Drinking Water Treatment System
The District provides water service from East Vail to Dowd Junction through eight
wells located in the Gore Creek alluvial aquifer, one surface treatment 1.0 MGD plant
located in East Vail and 57 miles of fransmission lines. Four groundwater wells,
approximateiy i00 feet deep, are located in the area around the Vail golfcourse and can
produce approximately 7.3 MGD. Three groundwater wells, approximately 60 feet deep,
are located in the Matterhorn area of West Vail and can produce approximately 1.0
MGD. Weli water is high qualilv and requires only the addition of chlorine at the well

head to meet drinking *'ater standards. A water system interconnection at Dowd Junction
is shared with the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority and sewes an altemative
backup source capable of providing 1.2 MGD.
Construction of Water Treatment Plant and Addition of Raw Water Source
The District proposes constructing a new 3.0 MGD drinking water treafrnent
facility in conjunction with the District's facility expansion. The purpose of the DWF is
to provide increased capacity and to decrease reliance on upstream wells during low flow
periods, thereby enhancing stream flows in Gore Creek through the Town of Vail and
downstream to the mouth of Gore Creek. Redundancv allows optimization of source
utilization and water quality.
The system schematic shown in Figure I illustrates the manner in which the new
facilities would be integrated into the system. Raw water from the confluence of the
Eagle River and Gore Creek would be pumped to the new drinking water treatment
facility, which would include filtration, disinfection, pumping, and ancillary equipment.
Backwash and other wastewater generated by the proposed water treatment plant would
be treated at the Vail WWTP, before being discharged to Gore Creek. Potable water
would enter the existing domestic water distribution system for the Town of Vail.
The proposed project would utilize an existing diversion structure at Dowd
Junction (at the confluence ofthe Eagle River and Gore Creek) to provide an additional
source of raw water. Vail Resorts currently owns, operates, and maintains the intake and
pump station at Dowd Junction, along with an existing 12-inch raw water pipeline for the
purpose of snowmaking. Water diverted from the Eagle fuver is conveyed through the
pipeline, which is buried on the north side of Gore Creek, to a booster pump station on
the south bank of Gore Creek across from the District's facilities. This pipeline is used to
convey water for snowmaking from November through January. The District would have
use of the pipeline during the majoriry of the year when it is not being used for
snowmaking. This existing infrastructure presents an opportunity for the District to
reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts that would be associated with the
construction ofa new intake and pipeline.
Phase I of the District's proposed project includes building the structure, which
would house the future water heatrnent facility. The acrual installation and operation of
the DWF would occur within the next few years. Preliminary design calculations and
process evaluations, necessary to determine building specifications, were completed by
Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The water quality data provided in
Table 2 were used to determine the required treatment technologies for the Vail DWF.
These preliminary specifications suggest three parameters of particular interest:
. Iron and Manganese Removal
. Contact Time Requirements
r Turbidity
Vaii Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact RePort Page 8
Several alternative processes were screened for a new 3.0 MGD DWF (Brown and
Caldwell, 2003). Two criteria were considered, prior to costing^ including site and space
requirements and proven operation at similar installations. A cost comparison was then
made for alternatives that passed the initial screening.
ActiflocrM (a conventional contact clarification process) was recommended as the
best water featment option. This decision was based upon the ability of the Actifloc rM
process (see Appendii B) to treat variable raw water turbidity, remove iron and
manganese, and provide sustained and competitive life-cycle costs'
Recommended process includes the following base components:
. Feedwater Flow Meters
r Testing of Pre-Ozonation for Iron / Manganese Oxidation
. Actifloc rM Process
o Air Blowers
. Washwater Pumps
. Chemical Feed SYstems
. UV- Primary Disinfection
. on-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation for Residual Disinfection
. Finished Water Booster PumPs
. Instrumentation and Control
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were
selected for primary disinfection and residual chlorination, respectively.
Site constraints require that the proposed DWF be co-located with the W]VTP in
the new building structure. This is a unique situation because drinking water and
wasteu,ater treaiment facilities are usually placed at separate locations. To insure that the
drinking water and \t astewater facilities are isolated from one another, a series of
protective measures have been developed (Brown and Caldwell' 2003)- The Colorado
Water Quality Control Division has accepted the colocation of the WWTP and the DWI
(see Appendix C) provided the following mitigation steps are implemented:
. Piping for raw and finished water will enter the DWT on the west side, away
from and above all sewers in the area.
. The building containment for the DWF will be isolated by use of dual x'alls
with a space between, and leakage from the space will be collected' detected,
and sent to the WWTP. Detection of water in the space between the facilities
will cause an alarm and could result in facility shutdown'
i-.

I
The two facilities will have separate HVAC systems, with the WWTP
controlled at a negative air pressure, and the DWF at a positive air pressure.
Sensors and motorized dampers will positively control differential pressure.
The fresh air intake for the DWI building will be on the west side, and the
exhaust/odor control system for the WWTP will be on the southeast side.
Tbe only entryway going from the MtrITP to the DWF will be a sealed door
with a positive closer, set into the wall above the maximum flood level of the
WWTP, with stairs on both sides.
The WWTP has a positive maximum water level, based on overflow piping that
will send water to the interceptor to the Avon WWTP at a specified level.
Facility operators will be certified in both water and wastewater, and will be
trained so they fully understand the dangers of contamination.
A new laboratory area will be installed, which will allow District staffto better
control and monitor the quality of their work.
2.6 Present and Proposed Zoning of the Site (12-12-5 B 3)
The parcel on which the District's curent facility is located is zoned General Use.
The recently purchased Old Town Shops parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and
Outdoor Recreation. The District proposes to rezone all of this land to General Use. The
developments sunounding the proposed project Ne Ne commercial, light industrial,
municipal and residential.

Existing Conditions
Gore Creek drains approximately 100 square miles and is the primary source of
water supply for the Town of Vail and the Vail Ski Area. The mean annual stream flow
in Gore Creek at its mouth is 129 cubic feet per second (cfs) for a total discharge
averaging93,790 acre-feetperyear. Peakflowsduringspringrunoff canreach l,850cfs
during the month of June, while the lowest recorded flows are approximately I I cfs
during the months of January and February (U.S. Geological Survey, 2002).
As previously described, the water supply for the Town of Vail is diverted
primarily from Gore Creek via an alluvial well field located near the confluence of Booth
Creek. Water use in Vail consists primarily of commercial and domestic uses, lawn
irrigation and golf course irrigation. The water supply for restaurants and ottrer facilities
located on Vail Mountain is obtained from wells and Mill Creek. Mill Creek &ains the
north side of Vail Mountain and is a major tributary of Gore Creek. Water supply for
snowmaking on Vail Mountain is taken from Gore Creek (below the Vaii Wastervater
Treatment Plant outfall near the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek) and from the
diversion facility located at Dowd Junction. To protect instream flows during low flow
conditions, snowmaking diversions from Gore Creek are limited to the amount of effluent
being discharged from the WWTP. Total projected water depletions from Gore Creek for
the Town of Vail and the Vail Ski Area at full development are expected to reach 2,557
acre-feet per vear.

Under existing conditions, surface u'ater mnoff and erosion at the project site may
impact Gore Creek. The ground surface ofthe current and proposed sites has been highly. modified by grading, construction of structures, and paving, resulting in the establishment
of an impermeable surface. Along the southem edge of the OId Town Shops property,
there are currently no measures in place to prevent sand, gravel and other debris from
falling into the creek (Fig. a). At the District's current facility, stormwater runoff is
directed through a drain on the southwest part of the property before flowing directly into
Gore Creek. Ourfalls are inspected tu'ice annuali.r, to ensuie thai they aie fiee of debris.
Figure 4: Old Town Shops Property
Analysis of lmpacts
The proposed project includes an additional source ofraw water, pumped from
Gore Creek and the Eagle River at Down Junction. This new drinking water source
would have a positive impact on Gore Creek stream flows and water qualit-v. Dowd
Junction, rather than water from the wells in East Vail could be pumped during low flow
months, leaving water in Gore Creek betrveen the well fields and Dowd Junction. The
proposed proj ect would not affect the stream channel or raise the level of the 1O0-year
flood plain.
Several improvements in stormwater management and erosion control would be
made to the site under the proposed project. Following construction plan approval,
temporary stormwater and erosion controls would be installed. Appropriate best
management practices (BMPs) to reduce the amount of sediment and stormwater
transported to Gore Creek would be selected to remain in place until permanent
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 15
stormwater controls are constructed and final project acceptance has been granted. BMPs
are designed to:
e minimize the amount of disturbed soil,
r prevent stormwater runoff,
r capture sediment,
provide a buffer zone between the construction site and Gore Creek,
o temporarily stabilize soils during construction, and
' i . revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction.
.J
Examples of BMPs that would be utilized where applicable are presented intl Appendix D. These are examples of both permanent and temporary, as well as structuralJ and non-structural, measures that could be employed dwing and after constmction.
I After construction, stormwater runoff from the driveway and parking areas would
be routed through a drain on the southwest corner of the properfy. All traffic and parking
eas would be asphalted, decreasing the amount of sand and gravel in runoff.
' 3.1.2 Groundwater
!-..I Existing Conditions
.J
Exploratory drilling at various sites in the Town of Vail has confirmed the presence
, I of groundwater at varying depth throughout the area. At the site of the proposed project,
i J the groundwater table is expected to be closely associated with Gore Creek.
Analysis of lmpacts
During construction it is likely that groundwater would be encountered in areas
i "*cavated
for construction of the building foundation and pumping would be required tol.J dewater the excavated area. It would be necessary to create a settling basin or sump area
to collect groundwater, which would then be pumped into Gore Creek. This would result' ] in some reduction in the elevation of the gloundwater tabie during construction in theiJ area surrounding the site. There are no wells present in the surrounded area that would
be affected by a change in the groundwater table. This impact would be temporary
because groundwater levels would return to normal following constnrction.
The construction contractor would obtain a discharge permit from the Colorado
I Water Quality Control Division for construction dewatering and would be required to) smploy best management practices to meet water quality standards.

3.1.3 Water Quality
Existing Condrtions
The Colorado Water Qualiry Control Commission has classified Gore Creek for the
following uses: Class I cold water aquatic life, dornestic water supply, Class 1 recreation
and irrigation. The Eagle fuver from Beldon downstream to the confluence with the
Colorado River (Colorado Deparlment of Public Health and Environment, 2002) has the
same classified uses as Gore Creek.
Water quality samples from the Dowd Junction pulnp station, which are a mixture
of Eagle River and Gore Creek water, were collected between December 2002 and April
2003 (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The results are presented in Table 3. Iron and
manganese levels in the Eagle River are elevated due to the Eagle Mine Superfund site
located above Mintum. All other parameters met standards. A single analysis, conducted
on April 17,2003, for Giardia and Cryptosporidiurn, was negative.
Table 3: Dowd Junction Pump Station Sampling Results
(Brown and Caldwell, 2003)
Though pump station samples for iron and manganese at times exceeded drinking
water table value standards of 0.3 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L, respectively, these standards
exist for aesthetic purposes and not for health reasons. A new water supply, or "WS",
standard for iron, manganese and sulfate has recently been adopted by the Colorado
Waler Quality Control Commission (WQCC) to provide greater flexibility regarding
these constituents. Except where the WQCC has adopted site specific standards, the least
restrictive ofthe existing quality as ofJanuary 1, 2000 or the table value standards,
applies to waters with a WS designation. Regarding the Dowd Junction pump station
water, ambient conditions are the least restrictive, and will become the new WS standard,
precluding future exceedences.

Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project, tbe District would continue providing potable water to
the Town of Vail that meets all applicable drinking water standards. WWTP effluent
standards would be maintained, preserving the water quality of Gore Creek down to the
confluence with the Eagle River.
Operation of the new raw water treatment facility would result in water quality
improvements on Gore Creek. During periods when domestic water is being diverted at
the Dowd Junction intake facility, there would be an equivalent reduction in the amount
of water being pumped from the East Vail wells. This would result in an increase in
stream flows in a 7-mile section of Gore Creek from the vicinity of the Vail Golf Course
downstream to the Eagle River. During winter months, when flows in Gore Creek are at
their lowest levels, the amount of improvement could be significant. For example, during
the month of February, the flow in Gore Creek above the Vail W-WTP outfall is typically
in the range of 10 to 12 cfs. Operation of the intake faciliry at Dowd Junction could
increase flows in Gore Creek by up to 4.6 cfs. This increase in flow would provide
additional dilution capaciry to the stream, resulting in a reduction in the concentrations of
pollutants from urban runoff and other sources.

Carbon monoxide and particulate matter are t\4'o out of six principal pollutants, or
criteria pollutants. Areas which violate the NAAQS for one or more of the six criteria
pollutants2 are classified by EPA as non-attainment areas. According to the most recent
USA Air Quality Non-attainment Areas list (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
2003), Eagle County is neither included in the Non-Attainment Area for carbon
monoxide nor in the Non-Attainment Area for particulate matter. According to the EPA
National Emission Trends [NET) database3, which includes pollutants'levels at county
monitoring stations, particulate matter in Eagle County is currently below the NAAQS.
The District's current WWTP processes minimize odors and emissions from the
Vail plant. Additionaily, the District pumps solids from the Vail WWTP to their Avon
plant for treatment, greatl.v diminishing the potential for odors. Negative pressure ls
maintained in the Vail W\ rf P to prevent air from escaping. A series of fans and ducts
conveys air away from the wastewater treafment area. Ozone is then iniected into the
ducfvork, effectively neutralizing odors.
Analvsis of lmDacts
Foi purposeS of this proposed project, air pollutants of concem rvould be carbon
monoxide and fine particulate matter (PM2 5) from fuel combustion in motor vehicles,
and respirable particulate matter (PM16) or fugitive dust from construction activities and
wind erosion from disturbed areas. Afmospheric impacts would be minimized, in part,
through the implementation of erosion control methods as listed under the "Hydrologic
Conditions" section above. In addition, PMro and fugitive dust from construction
activities and u,ind erosion from disturbed areas would be minimal as all access roads are
paved. Sprayed water would be applied to unpaved fransportation areas during
construction. Post-construction, the proposed project would result in no changes in odors
or emissions and the odor control system would be upgraded with the addition of new
equipment.

rock consisting of interfingering lenticular beds of sandstone, siltstone, shale and
congiomerate, within which laterally persistent limestone and dolomite marker beds
occur. Soils throughout the area are formed from these sedimentary materials with a
predominance of medium and coarse grained, poorly sorted sands.
During the quaternary period, several large valley glaciers were present within the
Gore Creek Valley which gouged out the lower valley floor, forming steep cliffs.
Oversteepening of the lower valley wall and deepening of the valley itself removed
upslope support for large sections of formational bedrock which dipped towards the
valley axis. Eventually, large bedrock dip-slope landslides began to occur as glacial ice,
temporarily buttressing the dipping bedrock masses, melted away (Vail Resorts, Inc.,
1e86).

surface deposits. Landscaping has extensively modified the land surface in the Town of
Vail. Artificial fil1 deposits are present both south and north of I-70 and throughout the I-
70 corridor. Specific information regarding the soil types found in the vicinity of the
proposed project can be found under the "Soil Types" section above.
The current streambank along the southern edge ofthe project site (Figs. 3 and 4) is
extremely steep with sparse grass and willow cover. A 2003 geotechnical study by HP
Geotech (HP Geotech, 2003) of the site found no indications of significant slope
movement along the streambank.
Analysis of lmpacts
The 2003 geotechnical report referenced above suggests that project excavation
would provide an opportunity to reconstruct the embankment with structural material and
boulders or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE). If the embankment is not excavated,
the report recommends that bank stability be evaluated during construction.
The streambank, which is on Town of Vail property, would not be changed by the
proposed project.
3.4 Biotic Conditions (12-124 A4')
3.4.1 Vegetation
Existing Conditions
Vegetation is limited primarily to noxious weeds in the area surrounding the
existing and proposed site because much ofthe site is paved and gravel surfaces. Sparse
grass and willo'*'s are located along the steep stream bank bordering Gore Creek and the
District's facilities (Figs. 3 and 4).

Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 20
Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project, site vegetation would be improved in conjunction with
landscaping. Vegetation to the south of Gore Creek, primarily coniferous forest, would
not be disturbed by the proposed project.
3.4.2 Threatened, Endangered, Proposed, and Candidate Species
Existing Conditions
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service federally listed and candidate species list (U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 2003) was used to determine the threatened, endangered,
proposed and candidate species that occur or may occur in Eagle County. Table 5
provides a list ofspecies and their status in Eagle County.

There is no suitable habitat for anv ofthese sDecies at the site.
Analysis of lmpacts
The project site is within the hunting range ofthe bald eagle. The boreal toad can
be found in the Gore Creek drainage running through the Vail Golf Course, upstream
from the proposed project: The project is not expected to impact any of these species, as
the site does not contain suitable habitat for anv ofthe species listed in Table 4.

Environmental Impact Report Page 27
3.4.3 Stream Ecosystem and Riparian Habitat
Existing Conditions
Water qualify throughout the Gore Creek drainage is generally high, although there
is sorne degradation from nonpoint sources of poilution including runoff from I-70 and
urbanized areas. In the vicinity ofthe proposed project, the stream has been channelized
to accommodate the Forest Road Bridge to the east, buildings and parking lot to the
north, and the bike path to the south (Fig. 3). The bike path bridge crosses the stream at
the site of the existing WWTP. The stream has a very steep, sloped bank and riprap
shoreline with sparse willows. There is a gas station located immediately north of Gore
Creek to the west of the proposed project. A drop strucfure and pump station for Vail
snowmaking is located across from the proposed project on the southern bank of Gore
Creek.
The lower reach of Gore Creek. extending from Forest Road Bridge downstream
approximately 4 miles to the Eagle fuver, has been designated as a Gold Medal Fishery
by Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW). DOW classifies those streams u,'ith at least 40
pounds of trout and 12 fish over 14 inches in length per surface acre as Gold Medal trout
streams. A 2000 fish survey by the DOW found 45 trout over 14 inches per acre in Gore
Creek just below the WWTP and 73 trout over 14 inches per acre in the reach
immediately above the Eagle fuver confluence (Colorado Division of Wildlife, 2000).
This section of Gore Creek has a good distribution of pool and riffle habitat with cover
for fish provided by large boulders and overhanging shoreline vegetation. The Gold
Medal reach of Gore Creek provides opportunities to catch large frout and is an important
recreational resource for the Town of Vail and Eagle County.
The Vail WWTP discharges directly into Gore Creek just above the confluence of
Red Sandstone Creek. Plant effluent complies with all discharge regulations and
provides an important source of nutrients in the Gold Medal reach. At one time copper in
effluent waters, originating in one of the District's source wells and from corrosion of
pipes, was a concern. Fish are very sensitive to dissolved copper at low concentrations
and the wastewater freatrnent plant does not remove copper. The impact on human health
was not an issue because concentrations were well below drinking water standards. The
District addressed the elevated copper concentrations by adding corrosion inhibitors and
a sequestering agent to Vail's drinking water and by minimizing the use of the one well
known to be a source of copper. These methods have proven effective in maintaining
copper concentrations within waste load limits and below aquatic life standards and
would not change under the proposed project.
Analysis of lmpacts
During the construction phase of the proposed project, best management pracrices
would be used for soil stabilization, erosion prevention, and protection of the riparian
area adjacent to the construction site (see "Hydrologic Conditions" and "Geologic
Conditions" above).

Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page 22
Post-construction erosion control BMP's would be implemented to prevent sand
other debris &om the ing areas and driveways from entering the creek. These
the risk of contamination entering the creek from the project site.
Use of the Dowd Junction intake as a source of raw water would enhance Gore
Creek streamflows due to wells in East Vail being operated less frequently.
3.5 Other Environmental Conditions ('12-12-4 A 5)
3.5.1 PetroleumContamination
Existing Conditions
The site of the proposed project is adjacent to a gasoline retail and automotive
repair garage, Al environmental assessment (Doty and Associates, 2002) of the parcel
on which the proposed facility expansion would occur found that there was evidence of
subsurface petroleum contamination. This contamination is believed to have originated
from the gasoline and automotive station.
Extensive remediation efforts have been made, including a soil vapor extractiorVair
sparge system that operates on a portion ofthe site adjacent to the westem boundary of
the proposed project. Remediation efforts have effectively reduced groundwater
concentrations ofstandard gasoline compounds (benzene, toluene, ethybenzene and total
xylenes). Benzene remains detectable in one well on the project site at a concentration of
0.97 p,glL, which is significantly less than the Colorado groundwater standard of 5.0 p,g[-
(Doty and Associates, 2002). The environmental report suggests that there may be
residual soil contamination on the property, at depths of 10 to 18 feet below the existing
gtound. Chevron (which owned the adjacent gasoline retail facility until 1989) began a
groundwater study in May of 2003 to further cbaracteize and monitor possible
contaminants.
Analysis of lmpacts
On the proposed project site, soil samples will be collected during the demolition of
the Old Town Shops building to determine if residual soil contamination exists. In the
event that the results of these tests determile remedial action is necessary, the District
will comply with all federal, state and local regulations regarding soil removal and
disposal, and dewatering during construction.

3.6 Visuaf Conditions (12-124 A 6)
Existing Conditions
The site ofthe proposed facilitv expansion is currently occupied by the abandoned
and rundown Old Town Shops building and is used for parking. Under existing
conditions, the building and the site have not been maintained and the visual appearance
of the site is degraded (Fig. 2) and not consistent with the surrounding area. As shown in
Figures 3 and4, there is no barrier along the edge ofthe parking area above Gore Creek.
Gravel and debris from the parking area has accumulated on the embankment above Gore
Creek and prevented the establishment of adequate vegetation to prevent erosion. This
area is quite degraded from the more natural appearance of Gore Creek in many other
areas and is highly visible from the bike path.
Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project visual conditions of the site would be greatly improved.
The Old Town Shops building will be removed and replaced by a new building and
landscaping that meet the requirements of the Vail Design Review Board and Town of
Vail Code.
3.7 Land Use Conditions ('12-124 A7l
Existing Conditions
The District's current facility is zoned General Use. The Old Town Shops parcel is
zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and Outdoor Recreation. Surrounding areas have
recreational, mixed commercial and industrial uses. The bike trail crosses and runs along
the southem bank of Gore Creek in the vicinity of the WWTP. The Vail Shop Yard is
located across the South Frontage Road and a gas station and an auto repair garage is to
the west. Town of Vail open space is located on both sides of Gore Creek to the east of
Forest Road.
Analysis of lmpacts
Under the proposed project there would be no changes in land uses to the site and
surrounding areas. The District proposes to rezone all ofthe proposed project parcels to
General Use.
3.8 Circulation and Transportation Conditions (12-124 Ag)
Existing Conditions
Currently the District's facility houses their administrative offices and the Vail
wastewater piant and accommodates 29 employees. Administrative offices are accessed
Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities
Environmental Impact Report Page24
from Forest Road. Deliveries and operational staff access the faciliW via the South
Frontage Road.
Analysis of lmpacts
The District's administative offices would continue to be accessed from Forest
Road. The South Frontage Road entrance would be improved to provide access to the
new building and rooftop parking. Deliveries would continue to be via South Frontage
Road. The District does not anticipate an increased frequency ofdeliveries ofsupplies,
though quantities may increase.
During construction there would be an increase in traffic due to construction
vehicles and crews at the site. The District anticipates hiring one addifional DWT
operations staff member under the proposed project, which would resuit in a minimal
increase in site traffic.
3.9 Populations Characteristics (12-124 A 9)
Existing Conditions
There are no residential units at or adjacent to the site ofthe proposed project.
Analysis of lmpacts
No changes in the population characteristics of the site or surrounding areas are
anticipated under the proposed project.
4 Summory (1 2-12-4 B)
4.1 Unavoidable Adverse Effects
The potential adverse effects ofthe proposed project would be temporary
effects would include increased traffic, dust, noise, vehicle emissions and sedimentation
from storm events.
4.2 Proposed Mitigation Measures
Best management practices would be utilized to minimize adverse impacts during
construction. BMPs would be designed to: reduce noise and traffic, minimize dust,
aftenuate stormwater runoff, capture sediment, provide a buffer zone between the
construction site and Gore Creek, temporarily stabilize soils during construction, and
revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction.

The rnain access for construction traffic to the site would be from South Frontage
Road. This will require an access permit from the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT). CDOT will require that the contractor develop a traffic
management plan to insure safety and to minimize delays and inconvenience to local
traffic. In addition the hours of consffuction may be iimited by the Town of Vail to limit
noise and construction traffic.
4.3 PossibleAlternatives
The proposed site location was selected for a variety of reasons. The Disrrict's Vail
wastewater collection system has been designed and built around their current WWTP
facility. The cost and technical complications that would be associated with developing a
second WWTP on a different site would be prohibitive. There are very few available
building sites in the Town of Vail and the disused Old Town Shops parcel was available
and is conveniently adjacent to the District's WWTP. The proposed DWF would take
advantage of existing infrastructure associated with the Dowd Junction snowmaking
intake and pipeline to convey water to the project site.
An analysis of alternative drinking water treatment technologies was completed by
Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). Iron and manganese concenfrations,
contact time requirements and turbidity, as well as site constraints, were the primary
factors that were used in evaluating alternatives. The ActiflocrM treatment process and
ultraviolet disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were selected.
Altemative processes that were evaluated are presented in Table 6.

4.4 Short and Long Term Uses of the Environment
Construction activities would result in the short term impacts and nuisance factors
described under "Unavoidable Adverse Effects" above. The result would be an improved
rzn'ater supply and.*'astewater faciiity that would be operated in a manner that enhances
and protects instream flows through the Town of Vail and the Gold Medal reach of Gore
Creek, providing a long term benefit to the aquatic environment. In addition, the
proposed project would increase the reliability and flexibility of the water supply and
wastewater systems that serve the Town of Vail.
4.5 lrreversible Environmental Changes
Irreversible environmental changes at the project site and in surrounding areas have
already occurred. As described in this report, the proposed project would result in
improvements at the site and to WWTP and DWF operations, providing a benefit to the
Town of Vail and to Gore Creek.
4.6 Growth lnducing lmpacts
The Distict's Vail faciliry upgrade and expansion has been proposed in response to
planned growth in the Town of Vail. The project is designed to address increases in
demand for water and wastewater services that will be generated by the planned
Lionshead redevelopment and other proposed projects. This development will include a
five-star luxury hotel, a convention center, riverfront townhomes and more than 400
additional "hot beds", 50,000 square feet of retail space, and a small number of single
family home sites (Tou,'n of Vail, 2003). The proposed project is in response to growth
and would not be growth inducing.

A,N INNOVATIVE COMBINATION OF
TECHNOTOGIES
HIGH P€RFORMANC€ THAT'S HIGHTY
The Actifloc ueatment process combines
the Actifloc clarification process and the
Microfloc Mixcd Media filtcr, which is
supported by ric new SCUBA" block
underdrain.
Actiflor A proven clarification tech-
nology, the Actiflo process uscs a
microsand ballast that firnctions as a seed,
enhancing floc formation and setding.
Raw water enters the coagulation unk,
where chemical coagulant and efficient
mixing are used to destabilizc suspended
solids and colloidal matter. Polymcr and
microsand are added in the injection
tank. The trcatment continues as the
water flows to th€ maturation tank, where
conditions arc ideal for the formation of
polymer "bridgcs" betwcen the microsand,
floc and destabilized suspended solids.
The fully ballasted floc senlc out rapidly
in the senling tank and are removed from
the treated watcr. $?ater th€n passes
. through lamellar senling tubes and onto
the filtration stagc.
High microsand solids loading
stabilizes the process when the flow
rate, rurbidity or temp€rarure fluctuatcs
rap.idly. Derention time is very short and
the response to changcs in chemical
dosage is very rapid (10-1J minutcs),
allowing the process to rcach a sready
operationai starc in less rhan 30 minutcs.
14116d il{s.lie. Developed by Microfloc,
Mixed Media filrrarion is cxrrcmelv
effective on ough-to-treat watcn. E'en
under extreme spike loading, rhc
combination of Mixed Media filtration
and Actiflo darification allows the Actifloc
systcm to resist break rhrough by
Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia
and provides a consistent high quality
effluent.
'!

I
The Actifloc plant offers a sable sysrem
with a compact footprint and reduced
chemical use. Typical overflow rates as
high as 30 gpm/ft2 allow system footprints
to be much smaller than conventional
systems of similar capaciry. The intense
mixine and microsand contact reduce rhe
use of chemicals, allowing significant
(rypicdly 20-50o/o) chemical savings
compared to oth€r darification processes.
Actifloc is available in modular tank
designs with capacities of0.25, 0.5, 1 and
2 MGD.

il.DESCRIPTION OF REOUEST
The applicant, ERWSD, represented by Braun Associates, Inc., is requesting a minor
subdivision pursuanl to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivision, Vail Town Code, lo allow for the
replatting of Lot 31 and Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2no Filing; a request to rezone Lol 31 and
Tracts C & D, Vail Village 2no Filing from Outdoor Recreation (OR) and Lionshead Mixed Use
2 (LMU-2) zone districts to the General Use (GU) zone distric! and a request for a
conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to
allow for the operalion of a water and sewage lrealment planl and a public parking facility
and struclure, located at 846 West Forest Road. A vicinity map of the site has been
attached for reference (Attachment A).
Rezoning
The exisling ERWSD plant site is zoned General Use (GU) district. The additional ERWSD
properties are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use-2 (LMU-2) district (i.e. Tract C and
Parcel 2) and Outdoor Recreation (OR) district (i.e. Unplatted Parcel and Parcel 3). The
proposed rezoning request will apply General Use (GU) zoning to all the ERWSD properties
(i.e. proposed Lot 1). The General Use (GU) district allows for both waler and sewage
treatment plants and for public parking facilities and structures as conditional uses. An
existing zoning map has been attached for reference (Attachment B).
Minor Subdivision
The proposed minor subdivision request will consolidate several ERWSD owned properties
into a single lot. A copy of the proposed final plat has been attached for reference
(Attachment D). As noted on the proposed final plat, Lot 31 , Tract C, Tract D, Parcels 1,2,
& 3, and an Unplatted Parcel will all be resubdivided into one property (i.e. Lot 1, Vail Village
2no Filing).
The proposed conditional use permit requests will facilitate lhe expansion of the existing
ERWSD plant. The existing plant will need to be expanded to accommodate the anticipated
redevelopmenl and build-out of Vail, especiallythe anticipated redevelopment of Lionshead.
The conditional use permit requests will also facilitate the conslruction of a parking
structure. This parking struclure will accommodate ERWSD employee parking needs and
provide additional public parking opportunities. The applicant is requesting that public
parking be temporarily allowed on the sile during the 2003-2004 ski season. Once the
ERWSD plant expansion has been constructed, the applicant is requesting lhal public
parking be allowed on the site during weekends, special events, and other occasions when
overflow parking is needed. Architeclural plans have been attached for reference
(Attachment E). Additionally, an Environmental lmpact Report has been attached for
reference (Attachment F).
Conditional Use Permit
The applicant's more delailed description of the requesl has been attached for reference
(Atlachment C). Please note that the Planning and Environmental Commission will not be
reviewing a conditional use permit request for a Vail Resorts snowcat access road, as such
a road does not require a conditional use permit. The proposed snowcal access road,
bridge, retaining walls, revegetation plan, etc. will be reviewed by the Design Review Board.
ilt.BACKGROUND
The ERWSD plant was originally constructed in the early 1970's and expanded in the early
1980's. In the past year, ERWSD has acquired additional adjacenl properties to facilitate a
needed expansion of the existing plant. The proposed plant expansion will be necessary lo
accommodate the anticipated, upcoming build-out and redevelopment of Vail, especiallylhe
redevelopment of Lionshead. The need to expand the existing plant onto lhe old Town
shops parcel was recommended in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan in Sections
4.9.4.5 and 5.18.

Town ol Vail Zoninq Requlations
Chapter 12-1: Title, Purpose and Applicability (in part)
Section 1 2-1 -2: PURPOSE
A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the
health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the
coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a mannerthat will
conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a
resort and residential community of high quali\.
B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific
purposes:
1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public
facilities.
11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable
nmmunity.
Chapter 12-3: Administration and Enforcement (in pan)
Section 1 2-3-7: Amendments
A. Prescription: The regulations prescribed in this title and the boundaries of the
districts shown on the official zoning map may be amended, or repealed by the town
council in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this chapter.
Chapter 12-9: General Use (GU) District (in part)
Section 12-9C-1 : Purpose
The general use district is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-public uses
which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by
the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which
development standards especially prescribed for each particular development
proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in section 12-
1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. The general use district is
intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi-
public uses permifted in the district are appropriately located and designed to meet
the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and,
in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open
spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses.
Chapter 12-16: Conditional Use Permits (in part)
Section 12-16-1 : Purpose
ln order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title,
specified uses are permifted in certain districts subject to the granting of a
conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristix,
conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly
with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on
surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to
assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and
surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the
various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the
town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses
will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be
detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to
achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied.
Town of Vail Land Use Plan
The Town of Vail Land Use Plan designates this site a Community Office (CO). This
land use designation is described by the Town of Vail Land Use Plan as follows:
This area is designed to meet consumer demands from community residents.
Primary uses would include supermarkets, dry cleaning establishments,
hardware stores, seruices sfations, financial institutions and medical offices.
The design of these facilities would be oriented toward vehicular access and
Parking.
The Town of Vail Land Use Plan includes the following goal statements that staff
believes are applicable to this proposal:
6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth.
6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through
balancing growth with services.
6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak
periods.
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Chapter 4: Master Plan Recommendations - Overall Study Area (in part)
4.9.4.5 Old Town Shops
The old Town shops, located just west of the Vail sanitation plant, were identified as
a potential employee housing location during the master planning process. There
are, however, other significant demands on this site, including potential expansion of
the sanitation plant and the need for a new snowcat mountain access route from the
Vail Associates service yard. ln addition, the presence of the sanitation plant on one
side and the existing gas station on the other reduces the desirability of this location
for employee or locals housing.
Chapter 5: Detailed Recommendations (in part)
5.18 Old Town Shops
The old town shops site has been targeted for a variety of uses throughout the
master planning process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail
sanitation plant, and Vail Associates mountain services. Ihese uses may be
appropriate for the site, but they are not compatible. lnput from the Eagle River
Water and Sanitation District suggests that the property will most likely be used for
expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard. If the old town shops are
removed the existing storage component will be replaced at the Town of Vail public
works shoo.

VIII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Consideration of an Amendment to the Official Zonino Map of the Town of Vail
1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent wilh all the
applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in
the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town.
Staff Response: Staff believes the proposed rezoning is consistent wilh the above
listed purpose of the zoning regulations and lhe General Use (GU) district. Staff also
believes the proposed rezoning is consistent the with the above listed specific goal
stalements of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. The applicant's proposal is
specifically recommended in Seclions 4.9.4.5 and 5.'18 in the Lionshead
Redevelooment Master Plan.
2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the
exisling and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents.
Staff Response: The ERWSD plant currenlly exists on the site and the proposed
rezoning will facililate an expansion of the plant deemed necessary to accommodate
land uses throughout the entire Town of Vail. The rezoning will also facilitate an
increase in the availability of public parking.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistentwith municipal
development obiectives.
Staff Response: The proposed rezoning will facilitate the enhancemenl of lhe water
and sewer syslem and public parking system within the Town of Vail, thus improving
the relationship among land uses and the carrying capacity of lhe community as it
relates to new growth and water quality.
4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of
an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the
amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole.
Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of
the water and sewer system within the Town of Vail, thus allowing for the orderly
groMh and viability of the community. A portion of lhe ERSWD site is currently
zoned General Use (GU) district, lhus rezoning all of ERSWD's properties to the
same district is not considered a spot zoning. This development is also specifically
recommended in the Lionshead Master Plan.
5. The extent lo which the zone district amendment results in adverse or
beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to
water qualaty, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and
other deslrable natural features.
Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate lhe enhancement of
the water and sewer system within the Town of Vail, thus positively affecting the
above listed criteria. An Environmental lmpact Reporl has been attached for
reference. This expansion will help insure water quality is protected by facilitating
the treatment of sewage.
6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district.
Staff Response: Slaff believes lhat the proposed rezoning is consistent with the
8
above listed purpose statemenl of the General Use (GU) district.
7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how
conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property
was adopted and is no longer appropriate.
Stalf Response: Since the ERSWD's last plant expansion, numerous
redevelopment projects are now anticipated throughoul the Town ol Vail, including a
large scale redevelopment of Lionshead. An expansion of the ERSWD plant is
necessary to accommodate this redevelopment and the further build-out of Vail.
Also, the availability of public parking is inadequate to meet both current and future
demands. The rezoning will facilitate an increase in public parking availability.
8. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem
applicable to the proposed rezoning.

Introduction
A- Summaty of Proposal
The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District ("DistricC) is proposing to expand the capacity of
the existing waste water plant and construct a new drinking water treatment plant ("the Plant")
located at the intersection of Forest Road and the South Frontage Road in Vail. The District
recently acquired land from the Town of Vail (the Old Town Shops) to facilitate this plant
expansion. The need for the plant expansion is generated by future development and build-out
of the Town of Vail and is largely required due to prolected redevelopment in the Lionshead
area as directed by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.

The District has been working cooperatively with Vail Resorts in order to relocate the existing
snowcat route from Forest Road. Part of this proposal is a request to allow snowcat access
across District property to a bridge across Gore Creek. Vail Resorts, under separate application,
is seeking approval for the new snowcat bridge across the Gore Creek and a new access route
connecting to the Cascade Way (formedy Westin Hi Ho) trail on Vail Mountain. This
improvement will reduce conflicts with the residents along Forest Road and provide a more
direct route from Vail Resorts' maintenance facfity located on the north side of the S. Frontage
Road.
Additionally, the District is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow public
parking on the District's property. This permit would allow public parking temporarily on the
Old Town Shops site and within the existing parking lot (approximately 80 - 100 spaces) after
removal of the existing Old Town Shops. This approval would allow this temporary parking for
one ski season and would help the Town reduce parking pressure on South Frontage Road. In
additioq the conditional use permit would allow public parking in the District's parking lot
upon expansion of that facility on weekends, during special events, or other times when
overflow parking is needed by the community. This approval would allow parking for
approximately 65 cars.

3.0 N{GD. Refer to the Environmental Impact Report for more detarl on the operations o[the
facilities on this site.
In conjunction u-ith this application is a conditional use request to allow snowcats to traverse
the District's properh from the Vail Resort's maintenance yard to a proposed bridge across
Gore Creek. The snorvcat access bridge is being proposed bv Vail Resort's under separate
application and that bridge and access route to the Cascade Way trail are located entirely on
Torvn of Vail propert! . The proposed access route will replace the route currendy traveling up
'West Forest Road. A 25' rvide access easement to allov snovcats on District properr)* will be
established by a separate easement document.
The proposal also includes a subsurface snowmaking pump faciliry to replace that facilitv
located at the tennis court site on West Forest Road for use by Vail Resorts.
D.Rezoning Request
In order to allos'the proposed uses and consolidate the existing patcels of land, a consistent
zoning designation is required for t}le ptoperty. The cuirent wastevatet treatment facilities are
developed on 4 contiguous but separate parcels ofland. The primary uses are located on a
parcel zone General Use rvhile a portion o[ the existing facility is located on a parcel zoned
Outdoor Recreation. UtiJity facilities are a conditional use in the General Use zone district but
are not listed either as a permitted or conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation zone district.
The newly acquired parcels to the rvest of the existing faciliry* are zoned Lionshead N{ixed Use 2
(I-N{U2) and Outdoor Recreation. Please refer to the zoning map below. The LIr{U2 zone
disrict rvould allorv the proposed plant expansion subject to a conditional use permit, horvever,
to create consistency the new-ly acquired parcels are proposed to be rezoned to General Use.

Snow Storage
The parking lot is ptoposed to have 63 parking spaces. Since the required daily
parking for the site is substantially lower than the number of spaces being
provided, a portion of the existing parking lot will be used to store snow.
Parking
The proposed project will provide more than ample parking for the number of
employees rvorking on-site and the number of risitors to the building. Parking is
being increasedby 26 parking spaces even though only one employee is being
added. The District is taking advantage of the surface area created on top of the
proposed plant which has a capacitv of 65 parking spaces. The excess capacity
will help offset the Town's skier parking needs on weekends.

III. Conditional Use Permit Criteria
Belorv is the cdteria used by the staff and the Planning and Environmental Commission rvhen
rer.iewing a request for a Conditional Use Permit. Each criterion has been addressed and rve find that
the proposal fully complies v'ith each. All of the follorvrng conditional use permits being requested are
included in this anah'sis:
Water and wastevater treatment plant
Snorvcat access to Yail N{ountain
Temporary and permanent publ-ic parking
C.
Re/ationtbip and impax of tbe use on deuelopmenl o$utiut of lbe lown.
Our Anal,vsis:
The proposed uses are being located in an infill area of the Torvn in an area that is
characterized by utility, sen-ice, and light industial uses. The proposed uses are
identified in the Lionshead Redevelooment Nlaster Plan as suitable uses for the area.
The proposcd snowcat access rourc ivas also identified by the lr'laster Plan as a positive
change to divert snowcat traffic on Forest Road. 'Ihe proposed wastevater and water
treatrnent plant expansion srill allorv grorvth to occur rvithin areas of the Torvn planned
for development over the next 20 or more years.
Tbe efect of tln ase on ligbt and aia distribution of population, tranQortation fatilities, utilities,
schook, parks and renzation failities, and other pub/icJadlitiu nuds.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed project w'ill have litde impact on light and air, population, transportation
facilities, schools, parks, or recreadon facilities. The proposal rv'ill expand the capacity of
existing vater and $'astevater treatmeflt and rv-ill therefore improve the ability of the
town to redevelop. The proposed snowcat access route rvill reduce conflicts with
vehicles on West Forest Road and thus improve the flow of traffic in that atea. The
proposed facility is a low one-story building w'hich rvill have little if any effect on light
and air. The nerv drinking water ffeatment plant will help to increase the flow-s in Gote
Creek during lorv-Oorv periods by pulling water from the confluence of Gore Creek and
Eagle River instead of the wells located under the Vail Golf (loutse.

Our Analvsis:
The proposed plan will improve the traffic conditions and flow in the area. Snowcats
will be removed from Forest Road thus reducing conflicts with residential traffic and
pedestrians in that area. The proposed plant facility includes adequately sized patking
areas and drive aisles to accommodate the uses proposed on-site including the
occasional use for public parking on weekends. Adequate snow storage areas ate
planned on site.
Efect apon tbe characler of the area in wbicb the pmpoted urc is to be located, inclzding tbe scale and

Our Analysis:
The proposed uses are being located in an infill area of the Town in an area that is
characterized by utility, sen ice, and light industrial uses. The proposed uses are
identifred in tlle Lionshead Redevelopment N{aster Plan as suitable uses fot the area.
The proposed wastewater treatrrent plant expansion rvill allow growth to occur within
areas of the Town planned for developmeflt over the next 20 or more years. The
proposed scale of the stmctures is consistent with those commercial and industrial uses
found in the area.

IV. Rezoning Criteria
Below is the codified critetia used bv the staff, the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the
Torvn Council w-hen reviewing a request for a rezoning. The criteria have been addressed and ve find
that the proposal fullv complies rvith each criterion.
a. The extent to ahilh the Tone distict amendment is conistent ailb all the applinbh elements of lhe
adopted goals, obju'tiues and polides outlined in the Vail Cornprehensiue Plan and t conpalib/e witb
lhe derclopment objectiues of tbe Town.
b.
Our Anal)'sis:
The proposed zone district is consistent with the historic use of thc propert]' and the
adjacent property. The proposed zone district is consistent with the VaiI
Comprehensive Plan as this area is identifred for public uses such as utilities. The
Lionshead Redevelopment N'{aster Plan recognizes this area as a potential site for the
expansion of the 'wastervater treatment plant and the relocated snovcat access route.
The proposed expansion s,ill improve the capacity of the treatment facility s'hich rvill
allorv the To'wn to achieve its redevelopment goals in Lionshead and elserr,'here in the
Torvn.
Tbe extent lo wbi-b the ione distict amendment it tuitable witb the existing and polential land utes on
the sile and eisting and polenlial stttmanding lard u:es as set out in the Town\ adopnd planning
dounent.r.
Our Analysis:
The proposed zoning and land use designation is compatible and suitable rvith adjacent
land uses. The amendment will allow an extension of the existing wastewater treatment
facilin', the construction of a nerv drinking water treatment plant, and 'w'ill create a more
direct route for snorvcats accessing Vail Nlountain. The Lionshead Redevelopment
N{aster PIan identifies this area for these tlpe of uses.
The extent to whitb the Tone distitt amendment Prerents a harmonious, conaenient, ulrkable
rchtionshtp among land uses consi$ent vith nunicipa/ deuehpnent objectiaes.
Our Anal]'sis:
As stated above, the proposed use of the property is consistent and compatible with the
neighbothood and will provide for a harmonious relationship to the adjacent land uses.
The character and scale of the proposed facilities rvill be controlled by the Torvn
through the conditional use process to ensure that potential development wiJl be
compatible u'ith neighboring uses.

and does nlt cznJtiltlte .pot <olting at lhe amendment senet tbe b* innrests oJ'lbe communiry as a
wbo/e.
Our Analysis:
The proposed rezoning is a logical extension of the existing land uses on the subject
properfy and on neighboring properties. The uses and development limitations rvill be
established through the conditional use process and rvill ensure the development of an
ordedy viable communiry. The ptoposed land uses are in the overall interest of the
community given the need for utiliry* facilities.
Tbe extent lo abith the lone dislitt amendment results in aduerte or benefcial impadr 0n the natural
enimnmenl, including bat nt linited to wanr qualir1, air quali1y, noise, uegetation, ripaian nridars,
bi/ltides and other drirable nahtral fiatares.
Our Analysis:
1he proposed rezoning rvill har-e litde impact on the nanual environment of the site or
the 'l-orvn as a rvhole. The site itself does not contain any unique natural qualit-ies other
than being located adiacent to Gore Creek. The proposed site is currently developed
rvith the Old Torvn Shops, previously orvned by the Town of Vail, u'hich includes
paving and grading of the entire site. Nleasures rvill be taken to improve the drainage
and vegetative qualities of the site.
'l'he extent lo phith tbe ione distict amendment is conti$eilt uitb lbe purposu oJ the pmposed lone
dittict.
Out Anall'sis:
The proposed zone d-istrict is consistent p-ith the purposes of the General Use zone
district. Additionally, the proposed land use for the properry is a utility facility, snowcat
access route, and public parking which are permitted by the proposed zone district by
conditional use permit. The proposed zone district rvill allow' for adequate light, air, and
opefl spaces and allow for development of public ot quasi-public uses harmonious with
the neighborhood and community as a whole.
Tbe extent to wbicb the Tone distict amendment demonstrates hop conditions have cbanged since tbe
ryning duignation of lbe subject pruper!1 was adopted and is no longer @pmpiale.
Our Anal,vsis:
The needs of the community have grown over the last 30 years thus creating the need
for utilities to keep pace with grorvth of the area. The proposed rezoning will allorv the
expansion of the adjacent wastewater treatmerit facility and the construction of a new
drinking water teatment facility. The existing zoning designations are no longer
appropriate given the curreflt development of the parcels.

I VI. Land Use Plan/Master Plan Goals
I Below is a list of goals from the Vail Land Use Plan and Lionshead Redevelopment l\,faster Plan that are
applicable to the District's project. The proposed development plan, conditional use permits, and
I rezoning requests are consistent with these goals as the proposal is responding to the needs of the
I community and is being developed in an area rvhere development is currendl' located and anticipated by
the Vail Land Use Plan.
1. General Growh/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance
between residential, commercial and recreational uses to sen'e both the visitor and the
permanent resident.
1.2 The qualiry of the environment including air, rvater and other nafural resources should
be protected as the To*'n grorvs.
1.3 The qualifi of development should be maintained and upgaded rvhenever possible.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional grovth in existing developed areas
(infill areas).
6. Communiry Services
6.'l Sen-ices should keep pace n'ith increased growth.
6.2 The Torvn of Vail should play a role in futue development through balancing grorvth
with sen'ices.
Lionshead Redevelooment Mastei Plan
5.18 Old Tou'n Shops
"The old town shops site has been targeted for a variew of uses throughout t]re master planning
process, including emplovee housing, expansion of the Vail sanitation plant, and Vail Associates
mountain sen-ices. These uses may be appropriate for the site, but they are not compatible.
Input from the Eagle fuver Water and Sanitation District suggests that the properh' rvill most
likely be used for expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA senice vard."

PUBLIC WORKS AND THE PUBLIC WAY PERMIT PROCESS
How it relates to Building Permits:
/ Fill out the attached check list with the Building Permit Application.
If yes was answered to any of the questions then a "Public Way" permit is required. you
can pick up an application at either Community Development, located at 75 South Frontage
Road or Public Works, located at 1309 Elkhorn Drive.
Notice sign-offs for utility companies, ALL utilities must field verify (locate) respective
utilities prior to signing application. Some utility companies require up to 48 hours notice to
schedule a locate.
A construction traffic control/staging plan must be prepared on a separate sheet of paper,
An approved site plan may also be used. This plan will show locations of all traffic control
devices (signs, cones, etc.) and the work zone, (area of construction, staging, etc.). This
plan will expire on November 1st and will need to be resubmitted for consideration for
approval through the winter. Be aware that your resubmission for winter may be denied
depending on the location of construction.
'/ Sketch of work being peformed must be submitted indicating dimensions (length, width
and depth of work). This may be drawn on the traffic control plan or a site plan for the job.
> Submit completed application to the Public Work's office for review. If required, locates will
be scheduled for the Town of Vail electricians and irrigation crew. The locates take place in
the morning, but may require up to 48 hours to peform.
The Public Work's Construction Inspector will review the application and approve or deny
the permit. You will be contacted as to the status and any requirements that may be
needed. Most permits are released within 48 hours of being received, but please allow up
to one (1) week to process.
As soon as the permit is approved, the Building Depaftment will be notified, allowing the
"Building Permit" to be released. Please do not confuse the "Public Way Permit" with a
"Building Permit".
i NOTE: The above process is for work in a public way ONLY. Public Way
Permits are valid only until November 15th. A new Public Way Permit is required
each year if work is not complete. Re-application each November 15th does not
mean an automatic renewal.
I have read and understand the above.

BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE TIME FRAME
If this permit requires a Town of Vail Fire Department Approval, Engineer's (Public Works)
review and approval, a Planning Department review or Health Department review, and a review
by the Building Department, the estimated time for a total review will take as long as three (3)
weeks.
All commercial (large or small) and all multi-family permits will have to follow the above
mentioned maximum requirements. Residential and small projects should take a lesser amount
of time. However, if residential or smaller projects impact the various above mentioned
departments with regard to necessary review, these projects may also take three (3) weeks to
review and approve.
Every attempt will be made by this depaftment to expedite this permit as soon as possible.
I, the undersigned, understand the plan check procedure and time frame. I also understand
that if the permit is not picked up by the expiration date, that I must still pay the plan check fee
and that if I fail to do so it may affect future permits that I apply for.

Town of Vail Mechanical Codes and Desiqn Criteria
. You must obtain Design Review Board (DRB) approval if any of the mechanical work will involve
ANY exterior work. This includes and is not limited to removal and replacement of driveway snow
meft systems. Please contact a planner at 479-2128 before submitting your mechanical permit
application.
. The Town of Vail has adopted the 1998 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with the 1997 Uniform
Mechanical Code (UMC) as an acceptable alternative.
. All new construction within the Town of Vail is considered to be of unusually tight construction, thus
all combustion air is required to be drawn from outside the structure for mechanical equipment.
Reference the 1997 UMC Sec. 701.2.
Town of Vail Fireplace Ordinance
In September of 1991, the Vail Town Council adopted an ordinance which restricts te construction and
use of open heafth fireplaces within municipal boundaries. Since that time the ordinance has
undergone numenous changes and revisions, striving for compromise, yet effectiveness in addressing
the air quality issue. Therefore the following criteria has been adopted:
. Construction of open heafth wood burning fireplaces is no longer permitted within Town of Vail
municipal boundaries.
o Dwellinq Units - Each new dwelling unit may contain:
One (1) EPA Phase II ceftified solid fuel burning device and no more than two (2) gas appliances
(B vent)
OR
