Responsiveness Summary for the Second Explanation of Significant Differences Responsiveness Summary for the Second Explanation of Significant Differences a o Colorado Department V of Public Health and Environment Responsiveness Summary for the Second Explanation of Significant Differences Lowry Landfill Superfund Site ARCS Contract No. 68-W6-0036 EPA Work Assignment No. 016-ROBF-0808 CH2M HILL Master Project No. 139814 DCN 97-456 Volume II of II Prepared for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Prepared by CH2M HILL October 1997 H:\DA\WORDPWIN\005.WPD Preface (How to Find Your Letter) More than 400 letters with comments were submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during the public comment period on the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site Second Explanation of Significant Differences. This Responsiveness Summary document provides responses to all of the comments and questions received in those letters and other communications during that period. This preface explains how to find a particular letter within this two-volume document. This document is composed of the following two volumes: Volume I • Preface • Executive Summary • Comment Letters Index • Acronyms and Abbreviations • Responses • References • Glossary • Attachments Volume II • Preface • Comment Letters Index • Copies of the original comment letters To find a particular letter in this document, go to the Comment Letters Index that follows the Executive Summary in Volume I and this Preface in Volume n and search for the last name of the person who signed the letter. The Comment Letters Index is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the persons who signed the letters. In some cases, signatures on some of the letters were not legible. Because other copies of the form letters were available, these illegible signatures are not included in the Comment Letters Index, but copies of the form letters with the illegible signatures are included in Volume II. The Comment Letters Index is divided into three columns. The first column is arranged alphabetically by last name. The second column provides the page number in Volumn n where a copy of the original letter the person signed can be found. The third column provides the page number in Volume I where the responses to the letter(s) the person signed can be found. In some cases, the same person sent in more than one letter. In these instances, there are multiple page numbers listed in the second and third columns. H:\DA\WORDPWIN\009.WPD A number of questions repeated frequent themes. The Executive Summary presents general responses to these frequently asked questions. Some of the responses in the document refer the reader to specific sections of the Executive Summary so that the response is complete. When a response says (see Executive Summary - Sludge/Biosolids), this means the reader is referred to the section in the Executive Summary with the heading "Sludge/Biosolids." Additionally, the Executive Summary contains an overview of the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site history and a description of the Publicly Owned Treatment Works option. Upon receipt of all of the comments at the close of the public comment period, EPA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) carefully reviewed and evaluated each comment. Based on this review and thoughtful consideration, EPA and CDPHE developed a response to each comment. These responses are presented in Volume I. H :\DA\WORDPWIN\009.

  • Colorado State Soil
    Seitz Colorado State Soil Soil Science Society of America Introduction Many states have a designated state bird, flower, fish, tree, rock, etc. And, many states also have a state soil – one that has significance or is important to the state. The Seitz is the of- ficial state soil ofColorado . Let’s explore how the Seitz is important to the state of Colorado! History In 1972, Seitz soils were first established in the area around Rio Grande County, Colorado. The soil got its name from the Seitz stream which was close to where soil scientists described the soil. The Seitz soil is the foundation for the grand and scenic views associated with Colo- rado and the large variety of outdoor recreational opportunities the state has to offer. What is Seitz Soil? The Seitz soils located primarily in southwestern Colorado are predominantly found at higher cooler elevations. These soils are found on hills, ridges, high valleys, and mountain slopes. Seitz soils are used as pastureland for grazing cattle, forestry, and outdoor recreation like hik- ing, camping, and winter sports because they are found in the mountainous areas of Colorado. Seitz soils are very deep, well drained soils developed in colluvium and slope alluvium. This means that as the rock on the mountainsides weather, the weathered material begins to creep and fall downslope due to gravity and water. As these materials reach a more stable position in the landscape, they accumulate and, over time, further weathering occurs, creating the Seitz soil. They are found on hills, ridges, mountain slopes, and valley sides, on slopes ranging from 2 to 65 percent.

  • Just Win, Baby”: the Tenth Circuit Rejects the “Anything Goes” Tactics of the Hail-Litigation Gold Rush
    “JUST WIN, BABY”: THE TENTH CIRCUIT REJECTS THE “ANYTHING GOES” TACTICS OF THE HAIL-LITIGATION GOLD RUSH † †† EVAN STEPHENSON & KAYLA SCROGGINS-UPTIGROVE ABSTRACT In Colorado, the federal courts are experiencing a legal gold rush arising from hail and other storm damage insurance lawsuits. Entrepre- neurial plaintiffs’ lawyers, public adjusters, insurance appraisers, and others have developed aggressive techniques for maximizing the value of hail-damage claims. These tactics drew a sharp rebuke from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in two published opinions, both in appeals captioned Auto-Owners Insurance Co. v. Summit Park Town- home Ass’n (Summit Park). The court affirmed an order that vacated a $10,870,090.96 hail-damage appraisal award, sanctioned the policyhold- er’s attorneys for misconduct, entered a default judgment against the policyholder as a sanction, and required the policyholder’s lawyers to pay the insurance company’s attorney fees. Summit Park rejects various claim practices of wide import that have taken root in other jurisdictions. These practices frequently arise in the context of insurance apprais- al, a relatively informal method of alternative dispute resolution that in most cases depends on the parties to an insurance valuation dispute each appointing an impartial appraiser to determine the amount of the property loss. The policyholder in Summit Park obtained an approximate $10 mil- lion appraisal award by appointing a partisan appraiser with whom its law firm had undisclosed and extensive fiduciary, personal, and financial connections. The appraiser had initially entered into an undisclosed en- gagement agreement giving him an interest in the outcome of the ap- praisal.
