Adjournment BOARD ACTION REQUEST TO: The Board of Directors of Eagle River Water & Sanitation District The Board of Directors Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority FROM: John McCaulley DATE: January 13, 2016 RE: Joint Resolution to Authorize Adoption of Impact Fees for New Irrigation and Sprinkler Accounts Summary of Subject: Staff requests that the Boards adopt the attached Joint Resolution at their respective January board meetings to authorize the approval of impact fees for new irrigation and sprinkler accounts. Discussion and Background: In June 2014 the District and Authority adopted policies for Water Demand Management. As part of that program, staff determined through the Water System Impact Fee Study that sprinkler and irrigation accounts have high seasonal uses and impact the infrastructure in a manner similar to residential and commercial accounts. Legal Issues: Legal counsel has reviewed and approved the Joint Resolution. Budget Implication: The adoption of the impact fee will raise revenues and should increase capacity for future growth by focusing efforts to reduce excessive outdoor use. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Boards approve the Joint Resolution to authorize the Public Hearings at the January 21, 2016, Authority and District Board of Directors meetings. Suggested Resolution and Motion: To open a public hearing, discuss the matter, close the public hearing and vote to approve adoption off Impact Fees for New Irrigation and Sprinkler Accounts, as presented. Attached Supporting Documentation: The Joint Resolution to Adopt the Irrigation Water System Impact Fee for New Irrigation and Sprinkler Accounts is attached. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. JOINT RESOLUTION OF EAGLE RIVER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT UPPER EAGLE REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY ESTABLISHING IRRIGATION TAP FEES WHEREAS, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (“District”) and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority (“Authority”) are each political subdivisions of the State of Colorado authorized to provide water service and to impose rates, fees, tolls and charges pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes § 32-1-1001(1)(j)(I) for the District and § 29-1-204.2(3)(j) for the Authority; and WHEREAS, District and Authority adopted a Water Demand Management Resolution in July 2014 designed to develop a process and fee structure to utilize water more efficiently over time and to use the existing supply to serve an expanding population, while protecting water rights and the natural water resource; and WHEREAS, a Water System Impact Fee Study in 2015 revealed that outside irrigation directly affects the District and Authority system capacity, and that irrigation accounts are not providing an adequate offset to the cost of their impact to the water systems; and WHEREAS, the District and Authority Joint Water Demand Management Team has developed a rational nexus and reasonable proportionality of the actual cost as related to the proposed fees sufficient to establish this Irrigation Impact Fee. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Boards of Directors of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority do find that the impact of irrigation deserves special attention to assess fees commensurate with the actual impact or cost to the water systems; and do therefore adopt the Irrigation Tap Fee for new accounts connecting to the District and Authority systems, effective March 15, 2016, as attached hereto as Exhibit A. APROVED this 21st day of January, 2016, by a vote of ____ in favor and ____ opposed for the District; and a vote of ____ in favor and ____ opposed for the Authority.

These conferences have been held outside the U.S. and Canada for many years and have proven to be a strength to youth and also to the young single adults who serve as counselors. See the attached description of FSY conferences for more information. Beginning in 2021 and 2022, all stakes in the U.S. and Canada will participate in FSY conferences every other year. During 2020, a smaller number of FSY conferences will be held at locations in the U.S. and Canada to prepare for full implementation. Attached is the list of stakes participating in 2020. If your stake has been selected to participate in FSY in 2020, please do not plan treks or youth conferences to be held during that year. Young Women and Young Men camps may be held annually, as usual. If your stake has been selected but you believe your stake has an exceptional circumstance and cannot participate in FSY in 2020, please contact your Area Seventy. Dates, locations, financing arrangements, and other information, such as the calling of young single adults as counselors, will be shared at a later date.

  • Colorado's 303(D) List of Impaired Waters
    COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT WATER QUALITY CONTROL COMMISSION 5 CCR 1002-93 REGULATION #93 COLORADO'S SECTION 303(D) LIST OF IMPAIRED WATERS AND MONITORING AND EVALUATION LIST 93.1 Authority These regulations are promulgated pursuant to section 25-8-101 et seq C.R.S. as amended, and in particular, 25-8-202 (1) (a), (b), (i), (2) and (6); 25-8-203 and 25-8-204. 93.2 Purpose This regulation establishes Colorado’s Lists of Impaired Waters. These waters include Water- Quality-Limited Segments Requiring Total Maximum Daily Loads (“TMDLs”), impaired waters that do not require a TMDL, and Colorado’s Monitoring and Evaluation List: (1) The list of Water-Quality-Limited Segments Requiring TMDLs fulfills requirements of section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act which requires that states submit to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a list of those waters for which technology-based effluent limitations and other required controls are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards. These segments are included in Section 93.3 with parameters included in the Clean Water Section 303(d) Impairment column. (2) Colorado’s Monitoring and Evaluation List identifies water bodies where there is reason to suspect water quality problems, but there is also uncertainty regarding one or more factors, such as the representative nature of the data. Water bodies that are impaired, but it is unclear whether the cause of impairment is attributable to pollutants as opposed to pollution, are also placed on the Monitoring and Evaluation List. This Monitoring and Evaluation list is a state-only document that is not subject to EPA approval.

    23. -THE FISHES OF THE COLORADO BASIN. By BARTON W. EVERMANN AND CLOUD. RUTTER. In this paper we have attempted to indicate in succinct form our present knowl­ edgeof the geographic distribution of the fishes in the basin of the Colorado River of the West. The approximate area drained by the Oolorado and its tributary streams is 225,049 square miles. This embraces all of the Territory of Arizona, a narrow strip along the entire length of the western side of New Mexico, a large part of western polorado, a portion of southwestern Wyoming, nearly all of the eastern half of Utah and a narrow strip in the southwestern part of that Territory, and a small portion of , the comparatively arid region of southeastern California. The Colorado is more than 1,200 miles in length, and is, next to the Columbia, the greatest river of our Western States. It has its rise in the vvindRiver Mountains. of' western Wyoming, near .the headwaters of four other great rivers, the North Platte, the Big Horn, the Yellowstone, and the Snake, ,and flows southward through Wyo­ ming into Utah, just touching' the northwest corner of Colorado. Until joined by the Grand River in Utah, in about latitude 40° 20', it is known as the Green River. The area drained by the. Green River is about 47,222 square miles. Near the middle of the south line of Utah the Colorado passes into Arizona, then, flowing westward through the Grand Oauyon, reaches the Nevada line. After receiving the Rio Virgen from the north, the Colorado turns abruptly southward and pursues this general direction until it reaches the Gulf of California, into which it flows about 50 miles south of' the international boundary.
