Park County Land and Water Trust Fund (LWTF) board Meeting Minutes August 3, 2016 Shawnee Community Center, CO
1. Lynda James called the meeting to order at 1:35 PM and noted attendance of board members as follows: District 1 John Woodward (excused absence) District 2 Tom Eisenman (excused absence) District 3 Jim Fagerstrom At large Lynda James At Large Dan Drucker At Large Ramon Castro At Large Dave Wissel Guests present: Carol Ekarius - Coalition Upper South Platte (CUSP), Jessica Doran EcoMetrics, Tina Darrah Town of Fairplay, Brenda Krage Superintendent PCSD, Andy Spencer Park County 2. Everyone introduced themselves - 3. Administrative matters. a. Agenda - Dave made a motion to approve the agenda. Jim seconded and the agenda passed unanimously. b. Minutes - Dave made a motion to approve May minutes. Jim seconded and the motion passed unanimously approving the May minutes. c. Financial – The sales tax collected so far this year is higher than last year. After reviewing the financial paperwork, Ramon made a motion to accept the financials as presented. Dave seconded and the motion passed unanimously. d. Website Update - Didn’t have any security issues and was able to update some financial charts and current projects. Talked about having someone else update the overall project location map. 4. Updates and/or Decisions on Projects Guffy Gorge Improvements- The commissioners voted to fund ½ of the project or $54,000 which is more than the Trust Fund Board recommended. a. Selkirk Restoration Project- Wild Connections provided a one page report documenting current accomplishments. Members were interested in seeing an updated photo. b. Fairplay Beach Final Report – On July 28 the Town of Fairplay closed on the land purchase. The acreage increased from 15 acres to 17.14 acres. They are ready to start planning the proposed park and hoping to get a grant to help pay for the planning. They are bringing GOCO up this fall to view the site and are working with FEMA. Currently FEMA’s estimates are low so work can’t proceed until the costs are agreed upon. c. Groundwater Quality Monitoring – Update As of July 27 they have gotten 27 of 43 samples. Some wells were empty. Five sample being tested for Radon were not shipped within the allowable time frame so the testing could not be completed. Three samples were dropped and broke. It was determined it wasn’t worth the additional cost to resample. Next year they will send the samples directly to the lab testing for Radon and eliminate the middle man. They are continuing to collect samples. d. Landis Ranch Tarryall Creek Restoration Phase 1 - Landowners are obtaining matching funds and hope to start work this fall. They are afraid Tarryall Creek will relocate into a nearby diversion ditch if work isn’t complete before any future floods. They have sponsored 4 Wounded Warriors fishing trips and will have school groups out also. Carol said since there is no public access to fishing, CUSP recommended that they sponsor select groups for 5 years. The project will improve bank stability and reduce erosion. Phase 1 will cover 1500 feet. Dave made a motion to provide $52,000 for Phase 1. Jim seconded. Lynda and Dan abstained from voting. Jim, Ramon and Dave voted to pass the motion. e. Stream and Riparian Restoration assessment on Elk, Deer and Four Mile creeks- Several properties on Elk, Deer and Four Mile Creeks were selected to review possible areas to improve. There has been erosion and destruction of riparian wetlands. A detailed assessment, restoration plan and conceptual design are necessary to apply for grants, to help with restoration costs. Some properties have experienced overgrazing and destruction of habitat. EcoMetrics will be working with property owners, US Fish and Wildlife and others. Some owners are looking into putting a conservation easement on their land and other owners already have conservation easements on their land. Dave made a motion to approve $21,000 to complete the assessment. Dan seconded and the motion passed. f. Discussion of road crossing creek demonstration – Engineers are using creative ways to have roads crossing over creeks. Mark of EcoMetrics was wondering if the county would like a demonstration. This information will passed on to the new road and bridge interim director at the county. 5. Public Comment - There were no public comments. 6. Directors Comments. None The next meeting is November 2, 2016. Dave made a motion to adjourn and Jim seconded. The motion passed and the meeting adjourned at 3:25pm.

APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE GRANT Park County Land and Water Trust Fund Board
1. Applicant information:
Be the Change USA c/o Phillip Doe 7140 South Depew Littleton, Colorado 80128 (303) 949-6986 (mobile) (303) 973-7774 (home) [email protected]
2. Description of project:
Be the Change USA (hereinafter “Applicant”) plans to engage in comprehensive water sampling and testing of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River and nearby groundwater sources (wells) in and around Alma and Fairplay, Colorado to identify and evaluate the effects of mine pollution by the Alma Placer and Leaching Plant.
Applicant requests funding for comprehensive water testing of approximately three (3) samples of Middle Fork water and seven (7) samples of groundwater. Applicant is working with hydrogeologist Carla Johnson, Ph.D., who has agreed to oversea water sample collection. Applicant will then have the samples tested by a laboratory. Applicant is not seeking funds for the water sampling, just the water testing. Test results will be used by the Applicant to prepare a report.
3. Need for project:
High Mountain Mining Company, LLC (“High Mountain”) owns and operates the Alma Placer and Leaching Plant (commonly referred to as the “Alma Placer Mine”) located in Alma Colorado, along the eastern bank of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River (“Middle Fork”).
Many Park County residents know and experienced the contamination spill that occurred on or about October 3 through October 4, 2014 by the Alma Placer Mine into the Middle Fork, discharging a large plume of sediment, mud, mine waste, and other materials.
There may be multiple sources of continuing contamination from this Mine, as well as other sources in the area. The sampling and testing will determine the source and impact of such contamination. This sampling and testing supplements sampling results obtained by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) directly after the 2014 spill in Alma, the Alma Placer Mine and Fairplay. Supplemental sampling and testing will assist in determining the presence and location of continuing contamination into the Middle Fork, and to further determine appropriate remediation measures.
4. How does the project fall under the LWTFB’s mission statement?
Mining operations have had a significant impact on water sources in the South Park Basin, and the Alma Placer Mine is just one of a number of sources of water contamination. This project will help preserve, protect, improve, and maintain Park County’s remaining water resources by providing valuable information needed to remediate and protect the Middle Fork and local groundwater.
5. Community support/letters of support:
Community support letters are forthcoming from Lauren Petrie of Food and Water Watch, and Gary Wockner of Save the Colorado.
6. Project partners:
Carla Johnson, Ph.D. of Earthvisionz. As described above, Applicant is working with Dr. Johnson, who will oversee the collection of water sampling for the project. The cost of the sampling is not being requested in this application.
7. Detailed budget chart/description:
Item Description Total Estimated LWTFB Requested Amount from Other Cost Amount Funders Water Sampling $10,000 none Carla Johnson, Ph.D. Water Testing $15,000 $15,000 N/A Report Preparation $5,000 none Applicant members are donating their time
Estimated Project Total: $30,000 Total LWTFB Requested Amount: $15,000
8. Area map:
A general area map is enclosed herewith. The general area for testing is Alma and Fairplay, Colorado.
9. Site specific map or project depiction:
A site specific map, showing the approximate location of the water sampling along the Middle Fork, is enclosed herewith. Water samples will be taken in three geographical categories:
1. Background samples: located upstream from Alma Placer Mine property − groundwater - 2 wells − surface water - 1 midstream sample of Middle Fork
2. Contaminated area samples: within close proximity to the Alma Placer Mine property − groundwater - 3 wells − surface water - 1 midstream sample of Middle Fork
3. Downstream samples: downstream of the Alma Placer Mine property − groundwater - 2 wells − surface water - 1 midstream sample of Middle Fork
10. Time line:
At this time, the Applicant intends to take water samples in Spring 2017, as groundwater sampling may be affected by weather conditions. After sampling is completed, water samples will be submitted for comprehensive testing, which could take up to four weeks. Once testing results are received by Applicant, Applicant estimates that a final report will be completed within 60 days.
11. Dates of mid-term project update and final report:
Because the project is of limited scope, a complete mid-term update is not feasible. Instead, applicant will notify LWTFB when sampling is completed and samples are submitted for laboratory testing, in Spring 2017. The date of the final report is dependent on the receipt of testing results; however, given the above timeline, Applicant estimates that a final report will be completed by July 2017.

See Exhibit A1 on page four. This was not anticipated. Foothills Inc Surveying, our local survey company that has extensive Shawnee area records, has estimated a cost of $2900. We would then need to request and additional $2900. To accommodate the needs of a road and pipeline easement through land owned by Terry Peterson we need a survey of the road and Kennedy Gulch pipeline position. We would need an additional $1200. Spronk Water Engineers, Inc. has nearly depleted the $7500 budget. They have used $6,000 for the creation of our water usage reporting spreadsheet. They estimate that to complete the job of placement and locating the reporting devices they would need another 15 hours of services beyond the 12 hours that are left in the budget. At a rate of $125 per hour that comes to an additional $1875. Total additional funding: $5975.00 What we have done so far: We have accomplished part of the first phase of our project which was the engineering phase of the project. The spreadsheet was created for reporting. SWCA resources were evaluated for sale and lease. The SWAP plan process is nearly completed. However, the placement and location of proper measuring devices has yet to be done. SWCA has spent $6,000 of the total $16,000 grant amount. We will need to extend the grant period into 2017. The new project time line: November 2016 through April 2017 will be completion of the engineering phase of the project as well as the SWAP(Source Water Protection Plan). Spreadsheet reports will begin with posting current and past usage records. SWCA resources sale and lease will continue development. Proper measuring devices will be located. May 10th, 2017 the project report will be due. May through October 2017 will be the installation of the measuring devices, the access pathways to the devices, and certain repairs to ditches and culverts. The SWAP plan will be completed and various fencing installed. Other elements of the SWAP plan will be identified for future action. November 4th, 2017 will be the final report. The delays have been caused by the expected limitations of the volunteer board/labor. In addition, there were the complexities of our little water system that were absorbed by the engineers. SWCA also was confronted by legal fees of thousands of dollars and many hours of time for the negotiations of an easement for the 1971 Shawnee Water access road and pipeline. These negotiations are nearly complete. Our access road was blocked for weeks last winter causing emergency actions that resulted in the new easement.

A narrative of the new items: The local water commissioner Tim Buckley requested a topographical survey of our Shawnee Water Supply Reservoir to verify its holding capacity and locate measuring devices. This was not anticipated. Spronk Engineers agreed that this is necessary for future planning and perhaps with a thought to enlarging reservoir capacity. Foothills Inc Surveying, our local survey company that has extensive Shawnee area records, has estimated a cost of $2900. We would then need to request and additional $2900. See the following copies of emails exhibit A and A1. Our old easement of 1964 was too vague and did not accommodate the needs of a road and pipeline easement through land now owned by Terry Peterson. We need a survey of the road and Kennedy Gulch pipeline position. Using again Flatiron Inc, we would need an additional $1200. See the following copy of email Exhibit B. Spronk Water Engineers, Inc. has nearly depleted the $7500 budget. They have used $6,000 for the creation of our water usage reporting spreadsheet. They estimate that to complete the job of placement and locating the reporting devices they would need another 15 hours of services beyond the 12 hours that are left in the budget. At a rate of $125 per hour that comes to an additional $1875. The costs were estimated during an October 18, 2016 phone call between Tolpo of SWCA and Dale Book of Spronk.

If the reservoir is empty and navigable we can provide topography for $2,900.
If it is preferable to not drain the reservoir, we can also rent a sonar unit and provide underwater topography for an additional $500.

Exhibit A1
Jon Mayberry
Ideally, if the Supply Reservoir were empty, a relatively inexpensive survey could be performed this fall. We could assist in getting SWCA estimates for a survey. Mr. Buckley suggested that if SWE could mathematically create a reasonable stage capacity relationship, the CDWR would likely sign off on it. However, it is possible that the CDWR would not find that satisfactory and subsequently require a survey.
I expect to have a summary/report to you by next week, along with a new accounting form for your use to report to the CDWR. We will await your decision on the stage capacity relationship survey or calculation. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or would prefer to discuss more,

PARK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
BOCC Hearing Date: October 27, 2016
To: County Commissioners
Date: October 20, 2016
Prepared by: Jill Falchi, Planning Technician Sheila Cross, Director of Development Services
Subject: Happy Camper Cannabis Co, LLC Retail Marijuana License Renewal Public Hearing
Request: Renewal of Retail Marijuana Store, Infused Products Manufacturing & Cultivation Facility Licenses
License Summary:
Business: CCC Inc. DBA Happy Camper Cannabis Co., LLC Applicant: Dan Sprague Property Owner: ALS Construction Inc. Business Owner: Dan Sprague Location: 80 Rosalie Rd Bailey, CO Zone District: Commercial (C) - see Attachment 1, Zoning Map. Lot Size: 3 Acres License Type: Retail Marijuana Store, MIPS & Cultivation Facility
Background:
On September 29, 2016, the Board considered renewal of the Happy Camper Cannabis marijuana licenses. Because public comments in opposition to the renewal had been received, the BOCC elected to conduct a public hearing regarding the matter.
The Happy Camper currently has a Park County Marijuana License for a retail cultivation facility, retail store, and infused products manufacturing. The facility is located at 80 Rosalie Road in Bailey. A vicinity map is attached. The applicant is requesting renewal of the retail store, cultivation facility, and infused products manufacturing licenses.
BOCC Staff Report Happy Camper Cannabis Co., LLC Marijuana License Renewal Page 1 of 3 October 27, 2016 Hearing Licensing History
• The Retail Marijuana Store, Retail Products Manufacturing, and Retail Marijuana Cultivation Facility Licenses were originally issued on October 2, 2014 and renewed on October 1, 2015. See attached Resolutions No 2014-40 and 2015- 45. • In January of 2016 The Happy Camper filed a Minor Modification Report through Park County and the Marijuana Enforcement Division to amend the floor plan of the facility. The amendment turned one of the cultivation rooms into more space for infused products manufacturing.
Operational Comments
The Park County Sheriff, MED and the Division of Water Resources have confirmed there have been no violations regarding this facility. Tim Buckley, Water Commissioner visited the facility on September 27, 2016 and reported the license holder was in compliance with their Well Permit No. 239796. Although Platte Canyon Fire did not report any violations they did cite a small fire that occurred within the MIPS room. The fire was minor and was extinguished before the fire department arrived. There have been no known violations of the Land Use Regulations.
On September 7, 2016 representatives from the Park County Building, Environmental and Code Compliance, Planning, and Public Health Departments conducted the facility for a routine renewal inspection. Listed below are specific Items that were investigated.
1. Functionality of the facility’s sanitation system. The Park County Environmental Health Specialist reported that while the facility’s leach field was operating properly, a minor repair of a broken valve box would be required. 2. Compliance with Building Permit requirements. A final inspection of the facility was conducted on September 8, 2016 and was approved contingent on an inspection by Platte Canyon Fire, which was conducted and approved on September 9, 2016. 3. Compliance with Industrial Hygiene Certification. In addition to confirmation from the Industrial Hygienist, the license holder also provided employee training records and procedures at the time of inspection. See Attachment 4, Industrial Hygiene Certification report. 4. Details regarding the fire in the MIPS room. The license holder explained a paper towel caught fire and was immediately extinguished. Platte Canyon FD was still notified and reported that the fire had been put out with a fire extinguisher prior to their arrival. Platte Canyon FD conducted an inspection on September 9, 2016 and reported no violations.
In response to a public comment regarding additional signage on Highway 285, staff contacted CDOT who explained the blue business signs along Hwy 285 are contracted through Colorado Logos Inc. Business owners must apply and pay for these signs to be put up and maintained. The licensee did not obtain approval through the BOCC prior to contracting these signs and in doing so violated a condition of their license.
BOCC Staff Report Happy Camper Cannabis Co., LLC Marijuana License Renewal Page 2 of 3 October 27, 2016 Hearing See Attachment 5 for public comments received as of report preparation.
Conditions
The conditions of the current licenses, as issued are as follows:
1. No odors attributable to the retail marijuana establishment shall be detectable at any boundary of the licensed premises. 2. No signage identifying the business shall be installed except at the existing gate and no signage shall obstruct the signage of the Church near the licensed premises. Signage shall only be lit during hours of operation. No modification of the existing signage shall occur without the advance approval of the Board of County Commissioners
In staff’s opinion, these conditions remain applicable and are recommended for the license renewal. The following additional condition is also recommended in the interest of safety.
3. The infused products manufacturing activities shall not be collocated with any other operations.
BOCC Action:
A public hearing is not required for license renewal. The BOCC’s options are to: • approve the license renewal with the previously stipulated conditions and the newly recommended condition (above), • approve the license renewal with revised conditions, or • deny the license renewal.

I just want to ask why a company that is in clear violation of the conditions of their licensing would qualify for renewal? Page 2 of the staff report lists the conditions of the license and the two blue signs on the side of 285 north and south bound clearly violate condition #2 regarding signage. The owner obviously has no regard for this condition of his license and the violation is out in plain sight. Those signs have been up for months with no enforcement from Park County. Why are you listing conditions for licensings and not enforcing them? It is hard to believe the violations stop there. Please take the time to think about and investigate the allegations in the letter attached to the staff report before making your decision on this renewal. Please enforce the conditions you place in resolutions so that they actually mean something. Thank you, Kris Ellis -- Just when the caterpillar Thought the world was over, She became a butterfly~ Krisellis From: Taylor Rosean To: Sheila Cross; Jill Falchi Subject: For the Review of the Park County Commissioners - Concerning The Happy Camper Renewal Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2016 4:37:22 PM Commissioners of Park County; I am a former employee of CCC inc, better known as The Happy Camper, and of Dan Sprague. This statement is written completely of my own free will and with no other intention other then clearing the air. It has recently come to my attention that many false statements were made recently about The Happy Camper, the facility, it's owner, and the goings on there. The facility is top of the line and ran at the highest level of compliance. During my time we passed many inspections with flying colors the first time. Inspectors and visiting industry representatives complimented the cleanliness, detailed compliance of the law, and well cared for equipment. I worked at CCC during all seasons and never experience any extraordinary issues with the building, equipment or property, it is all incredibly well taken care of. My experience at The Happy Camper was nothing but positive, enriching, fruitful and enjoyable. Dan took a chance on me when I was at a very low and dark point in my life, I was between jobs and down trodden. He took me in at a very reasonable pay and for my 6 months there, him and his staff were very pleasant to me and compliant of the law. During my employment the company invested in my training and development, paying for me to acquire a higher level of operational license and an advanced compliance class. Which resulted in a substantial raise and promotion. The company brought the entire staff to a music festival it sponsored, with free camping, drinks and food, and even paid us. Also it's worth mentioning that the staff has free access to pantry sized stash of food that Dan replenishes all the time. The company has given paid sick days to employees with families, paid for employees gas in hard times, and taken the staff out bowling, eating (locally), for drinks (locally), and many more activities. I truly believe that not only does The Happy Camper have a positive influence on their staff and their families, but the surrounding area. While I worked with CCC I had the pleasure of working the sales floor and speaking with a wide variety of customers. And a large portion of the tourist traffic say they alter their route to include Bailey so they can stop at The Happy Camper (one of the highest rated dispensaries in the county) and often they head into town for a meal before or after. The local patrons appreciate the fair price and excellent service. Many locals come in for ointment, lotions, edibles or patches which they use for a wide variety of medical purposes such as: treat bodily pain, easing terminal disease symptoms, and managing mental health conditions; to name a few. The Happy Camper staff may largely live all around the surrounding area but they are loyal patrons of all the surrounding businesses. Many businesses even offer a "Happy Camper Discount" and I felt proud to say I work there when out and about in town. I think it's worth mentioning the The Happy Camper recently contributed a pretty high value basket to the Aspen Peak Cellars benefit and has actively participated in the community. While overall the company is very much so filled with good eggs, there are unfortunately a few bad ones. And in the time I spent there, I witnessed a few of those, like you would at any other work place. The unfortunate matter concerning the bad eggs that passed through The Happy Camper is that many of them would gain financially if CCC dissolves. This is almost completely due to ongoing legal cases in which these "bad eggs" are the defendant. And those that aren't legally tied up with Dan are potential future competitors who have interest in getting a piece of the large pie The Happy Camper has accrued. The real reason I wrote this letter, is I would like to Park County Commissioning body to not loose sight of the economic and qualitative value The Hamper Camper has the to area. Also I would like those that have read the previously published remarks, to consider the factors that influence and inspired the individual to speak out. Furthermore I would like the reader to consider how little of the day to day goings on the author of the previous statement experienced. In conclusion, as a previous employee I can confirm Daniel Sprague is an outstanding individual of great character, The Happy Camper is ran in a safe and legally compliant manner and that any other published opinion pieces about The Happy Camper should be read with a grain of salt. Sincerely, Taylor Rosean 720 630 9655 [email protected] PS. For full disclosure I resigned from The Happy Camper on my own accord to pursue a fantastic opportunity I would not be qualified for if it wasn't for the investments Dan put into me professionally. PPS. Also for full disclosure The Happy Camper is a current customer of my new place of employment. PPPS. It is my full intent that this letter is published in it's entirety as widely as any other statement concerning this case.

Email Address [email protected] (Section Break) Questions & Concerns What is your question or Dear Commissioners of Park County, My name is Jaydon concern? Williams and I am the Lab Manager for CCC, INC., also known as The Happy Camper Cannabis Company, which is owned by Dan Sprague. I have worked at CCC, INC. for 4 ½ months now, and I need to tell you how thankful I am to be employed by Mr. Sprague and his company. From the moment I started with them I have been treated fairly, justly, and I don’t think I have worked for an organization that I have felt more respected and valued. This is the third company I have worked for in the legal marijuana industry here in Colorado. At both my previous jobs, I was asked to perform multiple tasks that would be considered gray areas within the guidelines of the law (many I refused to perform, hence my not being employed there anymore), many of them designed to give their company some kind of unfair advantage against their customers and other competitors. Never once have I been asked to perform any task that was remotely gray here at The Happy Camper, and beyond that, Mr. Sprague and the management are actively working on being as transparent and compliant as possible. They are working to set the bar within our industry for ethics and moral values within a business and to lead by example. These are the types of qualities I have been looking for in an employer, within and without the cannabis industry, for many years. Mr. Sprague is one of the most generous bosses I have ever worked for. I have seen on multiple occasions his desire to make his employees feel comfortable, respected and feel taken care of. From the huge snack cart that is always stocked for free, to the supplying of lunch at least once a week, to paid lunches, to helping an employee when life gets to be too much for them. He has a very genuine and caring approach to running his business, and quite frankly, it is refreshing. To feel valued and appreciated and safe is one of the biggest rewards an employer can impart to their employees. I enjoy working at The Happy Camper so much, that when the opportunity for my wife to join the industry and work at CCC, INC. became available, I asked her to jump on it. I would have never asked her to join either of the previous jobs in the cannabis industry that I worked for. But being that I value my employment with CCC, INC. so much, we have decided to put our entire family job security squarely on the back of The Happy Camper. My wife, Liz, has been the Packaging Manager for CCC, INC. for about 2 months now. I would not take this kind of chance if I truly didn’t believe in Mr. Sprague and the company that he/we are building. In addition, being that both my wife and I have good, stable jobs that we both enjoy, we have decide to move closer to The Happy Camper. We currently commute from Lakewood up to Bailey, but we are presently under contract to buy a house in Burland Ranch in Bailey, CO. Without the opportunities provided by The Happy Camper and Mr. Sprague, we would never have been able to have the opportunity to move to such a wonderful community like Bailey and own a house. In summary, The Happy Camper Cannabis Company and Mr. Sprague have provided my family with work, comfort and a quality of life that far exceeds what I thought would be possible within the time I have been employed by him. Having worked there only 4 ½ months and my wife only being employed for 2 months, we would never make these kind of commitments to Mr. Sprague or The Happy Camper if it wasn’t a great place to work, or if we didn’t feel like we are employed by a kind, generous, honest and caring owner. Please consider the type of business owners you would like in our community, and do the right thing by supporting the positive, caring ones and by putting the spiteful, hateful, and dishonest ones in their place.

He cares about his co-workers and community. Dan is a perfectionist and takes pride in his work. On a personal note, I have known Dan Sprague for over twenty years.
