  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.

All written comments received during the comment period would be made available to the public and considered during Final EA preparation. The provision of private address information with your comment is voluntary and would not be released for any other purpose unless required by law. However, this information is used to compile the project mailing list and failure to provide it would result in your name not being included on the mailing list. August 2011 DRAFT FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) INTRODUCTION -The Air Force is interested in obtaining public and agency comments on this revised proposal to designate a low altitude training area for training Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) aircrews. This Draft FONSI is provided as part of the attached Environmental Assessment for public and agency review. NAME OF PROPOSED ACTION - Establishment of Low Altitude Training for Cannon AFB, New Mexico. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION AND NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE - The United States Air Force (Air Force) proposes to designate a low altitude training area in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado where 27 Special Operations Wing (27 SOW) aircrews operating from Cannon AFB would train for worldwide operations under their global response commitment.

  • August 2019 Packet
    Town of Rico Memorandum Date: August 13th, 2019 TO: Town of Rico Board of Trustees FROM: Kari Distefano SUBJECT: Town Manager’s Report 1. Katelyn Stokes special use application for the short-term rental of Lot 1A Atlantic Cable Subdivision Ms. Stokes would like to use her house, located at 101 S. Hinkley, as a short-term rental. To that end she has applied for a Special Use Permit as required by the Rico Land Use Code. The application is attached to this memo for your review and is complete. Special Use Permits should be reviewed according to the following criteria: Compatibility with Surrounding Area. The proposed use or operation is compatible with surrounding land uses and with the surrounding neighborhood. General. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of all proposed uses shall mitigate any adverse effects, including visual impacts, on surrounding properties. Noise. At no point on the bounding property line of any use in any district shall the sound pressure level of any use, operation or plant produce noise intensity greater than that customarily level of the underlying Zone District and surrounding neighborhood so as to create a nuisance or detract from the use and enjoyment of adjacent property. For the purposes of this section, bounding property line shall be interpreted as being at the far side of any street alley, stream or other permanently dedicated open space from the noise source when such open space exists between the property line of the noise source and adjacent property. When no such open space exists, the common line between two (2) parcels of property shall be interpreted as the bounding property line.

  • Rico, Co Categorical Exclusion Waterline Replacement Project
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 8 1595 Wynkoop Street DENVER, CO 80202-1129 Phone 800-227-8917 http://www.epa.gov/region08 February 22, 2012 Rico, Colorado – Water System Improvements Categorical Exclusion for Special Appropriation Act Grant For categories of projects that are so minor in scope that they may be determined by EPA not to need a full environmental review. EPA makes the determination if a project will qualify for a Categorical Exclusion based on information provided by the grantee. Project Description: The Town of Rico, Colorado proposes to replace some of the Town’s existing drinking water distribution system. The proposed Project will consist of replacement of approximately 10,300 linear feet of existing 4 and 6 inch pipelines with 6 and 8 inch pipelines and associated valves, hydrants and bends. The majority of the pipelines are located in the north half of Rico (north of Mantz Avenue) as shown on the map in Attachment 1. The water system is over 30 years old and was bedded in mine waste shortening the life of the pipes. Numerous leaks have occurred in the last five years and the repairs indicate the distribution pipelines are in poor condition. [Information used to prepare categorical exclusion: Harris Engineering memorandum dated November 2, 2011sent via e-mail from Mike England.] Purpose and Need: The project will replace deteriorating water lines reducing leaks and increasing reliability of the water distribution system. 1 Cross-Cutters: Cross-Cutters still apply to all Special Appropriations Act Projects (SAAP) even if they are granted a categorical exclusion from the NEPA.

Meeting with Great Ecology planner Chris Loftus and Mark Laska At the last meeting we had with representatives of BP, they invited (and funded) a planner from Great Ecology named Mark Laska.

The first reading of this ordinance passed in May. As a reminder The Rico Fire Department initially requested this Ordinance when there was a fire in the Prospector building. The object of the ordinance is to ensure that structures that are used for accommodations have adequate fire safety measures. The ordinance requires that all commercial structures that are being used for accommodations have fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and fire escape routes. It also has provisions for enforcement should the facility fail to provide such safety measures. We have added a requirement for anyone that wants to short term rent their house that they give us documentation of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. 3. Special Use Permit application the short-term rental of 209 S. Picker, Helen Matzik, Owner Helen Matzik has been using her house, located at 209 S. Picker, as a short-term rental.
