Englewood students back in school

Youths in traditional and alternative schools return

New freshmen at Englewood High School walk around the halls in costumes with juniors and seniors who helped them get acclimated on the first day of school Aug. 10. Several groups of freshmen did small-group activities to get to know other students. Ellis Arnold Posted Monday, August 14, 2017 8:59 am Ellis Arnold You're going to have more choices in high school. And you're the one who has to make them.

That was one of the messages freshmen received at Englewood High School on the first day of the academic year in a gym assembly held to orient new students.

But it wasn't all so serious on the first day of school in the Englewood Schools district. Members of Link Crew, a group of juniors and seniors who helped lead freshmen through their first day, dressed the younger students up in costumes and played hacky-sack games to get to know each other.

The nervous laughter and apprehensive cooperation so emblematic of high school was in the air in one classroom, where students stood in a circle for an activity.

“One thing you're gonna find in high school is that you're gonna meet new people and venture off with them,” one Link Crew member said.

“To help all the freshmen and guide them the right way” is why senior Arisbeth Murga decided to be a Link Crew member. “So when they need help, they know where to go to get it.”

Christian Draper, a junior, came to school early and sat in a booth in an open area to wait for the day to start.

“I'm ready for school to be almost over, for my college career to begin,” Draper said, when asked what he's looking forward to in the year. "And looking forward to meeting new people, too.”

Just down the hall, Englewood Middle School and Englewood Leadership Academy got the year underway with their own activities. The three schools are housed in the same building at 3800 S. Logan St.

“Eclipse,” a book in the “Twilight” series, sat in rows of books arranged in a classroom at Englewood Leadership Academy, which takes students from grades six through eight.

Students in those grades sat in mixed-grade tables, talking about what new students need to know and getting to know the school.

“This is your one time to be in middle school, so take advantage of what we have to offer,” teacher Julie White said.

Amanda Brunk, a seventh- and eighth-grade teacher who is starting her 18th year at Englewood Middle School, said she's excited to get back on track and see “some old familiar faces come back.”

“The most challenging thing about the new school year is to get (students) back thinking academically, versus how they were very social in summer,” Brunk said.

Brunk's advice to new students to get involved in everything they can.

“Try new things,” Brunk said. “Get involved because (students) are still trying to find their passion. (Englewood Middle) is a great place to do that.” http://www.villagerpublishing.com/89628/front-page/englewood-to-host-car-show/

STARBURST AWARDS 2017

ENGLEWOOD HONORED FOR RIVER RUN TRAILHEAD PARK

August 10, 2017, DENVER – Whether spending the day kayaking, paddle boarding, or picnicking, one park in Sheridan is a river enthusiast's dream.

The City of Englewood will receive a Lottery Starburst Award for using Lottery proceeds to create River Run Trailhead Park, a “crown jewel” of the revitalized South Platte River corridor. The project was made possible with $425,000 from two Lottery-funded grants; a $75,000 from the Conservation Trust Fund and $350,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO). The park was a vision of the South Platte Working Group and was completed in August 2016.

The award will be presented at a public Lottery-hosted community event at River Run Trailhead Park at Broken Tee Englewood Golf Course on Thursday, August 17 at 4:30 pm.

Nestled along the east bank of the South Platte River, the park is a multi-purpose recreational destination with a playground, pavilion, picnic area, and wildlife habitat. The park also features two drop structures within the river, which create a controlled environment for urban kayaking, paddle boarding, and river . One of the structures is equipped with a “wave shaper” – a hydraulic plate that can be raised or lowered depending on river levels, and uses differing water patterns and flows to challenge kayakers and surfers.

The Colorado Lottery Starburst Awards recognize excellence in the use of Lottery proceeds in community projects implemented to enhance a community’s environment.

1 ###

In FY2016 alone, the Lottery distributed $143.5 million in proceeds. Since its creation 34 years ago, the Lottery has returned more than $3 billion back into the state of Colorado. Lottery proceeds are distributed to three primary beneficiaries: GOCO, Conservation Trust Fund, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. These organizations provide grants and direct funding for parks, recreation, open space acquisition, trails, and wildlife and conservation education.

MEMORANDUM Date: August 8, 2017 To: Englewood City Council From: Dewberry & Valley Sanitation District Subject: Valley Interceptor Realignment Project

This memorandum provides a summary of the Valley Sanitation District’s Interceptor Relocation Project including the project background, the proposed alternative to construct a lift station near Centennial Park, and the District’s request for easements from the City of Englewood. The District is requesting Englewood's help by providing a permanent easement for the new force main and lift station.

Background and Project Need The Valley Sanitation District (District) is located in Arapahoe and Denver Counties in the State of Colorado. The boundaries of the District encompass approximately 1.3 square miles located within the cities of Englewood, Littleton, Denver, and Sheridan. All the wastewater generated by Valley’s customers is sent to the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant (LEWWTP) for treatment. This plant is jointly owned by the cities of Englewood and Littleton, although Englewood has primary administration responsibilities. The District holds an active Connector’s Agreement with the City of Englewood. The agreement was revised in 2013 and amended in 2017 to include a pretreatment addendum.

The District’s sole means of conveying wastewater from its service area to the LEWWTP is an existing 21" diameter concrete sewer interceptor. Approximately 4,400 linear feet of the interceptor traverses the closed Mile High Landfill and extends from the southwest corner of Centennial Park (near South Decatur Street) to West Oxford Avenue (approximately 400 feet west of the South Platte River). The depth of the interceptor through the landfill is approximately 40 to 50 feet, within an easement that is 30 feet wide.

The LEWWTP has detected periodically higher than average levels of methane entering the treatment plant headworks. Methane gas was detected in several interceptor pipe manholes within the landfill boundary at various concentrations. The concentration exceeded 100% of the lower explosive limit in some of the locations. The concentration of methane gas generally diminishes in either direction away from the landfill. In the past few decades since the landfill closed, the property has been settling and the current property owner routinely places fill material to manage the use of the site (the property is now an RV and equipment storage facility). It is believed that settling of the landfill content is causing displacement of the pipe, resulting in open or cracked joints. Methane gas generated in the landfill is then entering the interceptor through those pipe joints and manholes, resulting in unsafe working conditions for District staff. Additionally, video inspection performed by District staff has revealed significant structural deterioration of the concrete pipe due to hydrogen sulfide and sulfuric acid attack. All of these existing conditions – the depth of the interceptor, current use of the site, pipe condition, and presence of methane gas – severely limit the District from performing routine maintenance and inspection of the existing interceptor.

After significant study and discussion, the District has decided to proceed with a project that will address the safety, operation, and potential environmental issues if a failure of this pipeline were to occur. This project will replace the deteriorated pipe, relocate the interceptor outside the limits of the existing landfill to eliminate the and buildup of methane gas, and reduce the depth of cover to improve maintenance access.

Memorandum | 1 of 4 MEMORANDUM To date, the project team has completed the following items:

 A detailed alternatives analysis,  Begun pursuing a low interest loan from the Colorado Water Resources & Power Development Authority, and;  Initiated a public outreach effort to inform District residents of the issue and the upcoming ballot measure required to finance the project. Public outreach has included three informational public meetings and informational flyers. Copies of these flyers are included in Attachment A. The District has also done several postings on Valley’s Next Door website, on the Denver Post’s Your Hub online newspaper, and have created an email newsletter to communicate with those that have expressed interest in the project.

Proposed Site Location The District completed an alternatives analysis in 2016 to identify and evaluate alternatives to address two primary objectives:

1) Eliminate the methane hazard by removing the pipeline from the landfill, and 2) Improve access for maintenance.

Of the evaluated options, only one was determined to be feasible and satisfy both objectives. The selected alternative includes installation of a new lift station, force main, and gravity interceptor which will be routed around the landfill. The existing pipe will be abandoned in-place, capped at both ends, and manholes will be filled in and capped. Project benefits include elimination of the safety hazard caused by the buildup of methane gas in the interceptor and the avoidance of sewer failure and resulting backups to residential services or overflow to waterways.

The proposed location of the new lift station is the northwest corner of the existing northern parking lot at Centennial Park, which is owned by the City of Englewood. The new sewer pipe would run from the lift station site south to the Decatur Street right-of way (ROW) and then from there within ROW along Decatur, Federal, Clay, and Oxford ending at a connection to the existing interceptor downstream of the landfill limits. The new pipeline alignment and lift station location are shown in Figure 1 below.

Memorandum | 2 of 4 MEMORANDUM

Figure 1 New Pipe Alignment and Lift Station

To proceed with the project, the District must obtain easements from the City of Englewood. The District is requesting a permanent easement for the lift station site and the new force main as well as a temporary easement covering a larger portion of the existing lot for use as a construction staging area. The areas required for the lift station site and construction staging area are shown on Drawing C-1 and C-2 in Attachment B. An easement for the pipeline is also required, but is not currently shown on the drawings because there is ongoing research into the status of the existing easements.

The proposed lift station would be located in the northwest corner of the parking lot. This corner is bordered on the north by a large retaining wall. The surrounding land uses are zoned light industrial with a small commercial office park to the east and a roofing company building and storage yard to the north. The proposed site location is in the furthest corner from the parking spots typically used for public parking. The existing parking lot surface is gravel and asphalt. The proposed site is located within the gravel portion of the lot. The proposed temporary construction easement has been laid out to maintain full access to park facilities and avoid impact to the asphalt pavement. Pictures of the site are provided in Attachment C.

The final project site would include the lift station wetwell, overflow storage basin, a backup generator, electric power distribution and control panels, an odor control system, lighting, and a perimeter fence. Approximate footprints of the primary structures and equipment can be seen on the drawings. The wetwell and overflow storage basin will be below grade structures. The depth of the overflow basin and lift station require that both structures be located an adequate distance away from the nearby building and

That is exactly the situation Valley Sanitation District may face in the future. The 66 year-old sewer main that transports all wastewater collected from Valley customers – and you are a customer if you received this postcard – has experienced high levels of potentially explosive hydrocarbon gases. The 24” diameter concrete pipe is also experiencing severe internal corrosion that has compromised its structural integrity. Finally, the sewer main is excessively deep and located within a narrow easement which makes ordinary and emergency maintenance extremely difficult and expensive.
