Kumar’s Geologic Hazards Study, Ramah Wastewater Treatment Plan (Kumar & Associates, Inc., January 6, 2023), addresses our previous comments and provides a valid description of the geology and geologic hazards associated with the site. CGS agrees with Kumar’s recommendation (page 8), “…a buffer of at least 50 feet from the existing special flood hazard areas would reduce the risk from potential flooding.” Provided Kumar’s recommendations are strictly adhered to and incorporated in the design of the wastewater system, CGS has no objection to the approval of the project as proposed. We offer the following comments. Kumar states on page 4 of their Geotechnical Engineering Study (Kumar & Associates, Inc., April 22, 2022), “The clay soils encountered in our study will have relatively low permeability….An engineered liner system should be implemented at the basin of each pond if specific permeability limits are required for this project.” Sheet 25 of the Pond Details (Element Engineering LLC, March 2022) indicates that 45-mil reinforced polypropylene or 40-mil reinforced composite geomembrane will be installed within the pond. Kumar should review the plans and details (as recommended on page 14 of their report) for the wastewater system and update/modify their recommendations, if necessary.

Please provided an adjacent property notice so that the application can stay on the administrative approval track which reduces the time line by 45 days. The department needs to verify neighbors have no unaddressed concerns with the project if a public hearing approval is waived. | 8/30/2022 11:39:53 AM | |

Review #1: 1. Update Appendix Y - Traffic Summary to discuss traffic impact such as the expected average daily trips, or if unmanned how often staff visits the sites for inspections or maintenance. Additionally, road impact fee may be required with the site development plan application. 2. Engineering defers site specific review and comments to the site development plan application. The following documents is required with the initial site development plan application: - Final Drainage Report - Grading and Erosion Control Plan (inform the planner if the GEC plan is included with the Construction Drawings) - GEC Checklist - Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) - SWMP Checklist - PBMP Applicability Form - Financial Assurance Estimate (FAE) - Force Main Construction Drawings - Erosion and Stormwater Quality Control Permit (ESQCP) 3. Work-in-the-ROW permit will be required for work in El Paso County Roads. Construction impacts on County transportation facilities will be addressed in these permits.

The Town of Ramah proposes a new wastewater system including a sewer lift station, three evaporative ponds, a force main, and associated piping. Kumar’s Geotechnical Engineering Study, Ramah Wastewater Treatment Plan (Kumar & Associates, Inc., April 22, 2022), provides a valid description of surface and subsurface conditions and soil engineering properties, however, a discussion of the geology and geologic hazards were not included. The El Paso County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) provides guidance for the type of Soils and Geology investigations and reports required for any public improvements. Kumar does not specifically list or map the geologic conditions and associated hazards and constraints as defined by the ECM. CGS recommends that the evaluation of risk from geologic conditions be derived from locally accurate geologic information. These investigations should include site-specific geologic mapping. Geologic hazards and engineering constraints to be discussed that are potentially impacting the site to various degrees include: • loose, easily erodible soils, • collapsible soils, • expansive soils, • flooding, • coal mine subsidence, • seasonally shallow and perched groundwater, and, • scour and erosion potential during flooding. Kumar states (page 4), “Groundwater was measured at a depth of about 15.3 feet in the boring drilled for the proposed lift station measured six days after drilling. This depth is near the elevation of the base of the lift station, and groundwater may be a construction consideration at this site.” Kumar indicates, “A detailed discussion is presented in the “Site Grading and Earthwork” Section,” however, a discussion of groundwater and the effect on foundations/structures was not included. CGS recommends additional discussion on the fluctuations and effect of groundwater on the proposed facility. Kumar also states, “The clay soils encountered in our study will have relatively low permeability….An engineered liner system should be implemented at the basin of each pond if specific permeability limits are required for this project.” Sheet 25 of the Pond Details (Element Engineering LLC, March 2022) indicates 45-mil reinforced polypropylene or 40-mil reinforced composite geomembrane is to be installed within the pond. Kumar should review the plans and details (as recommended on page 14 of their report) for the wastewater system and update/modify their recommendations, if necessary.

Regarding a request for approval of an expansion of a wastewater facility for the Town of Ramah, since the only scope of work which would require any type of building permit lies in the Town limits of Ramah where PPRBD has no jurisdiction, Enumerations has no comment or objection.
