The El Paso County Conservation District has reviewed this and we have the following comments: 1) Erosion controls/Revegetation plans We did not see any documents that went over an erosion control or revegetation/landscape plan to prevent wind erosion from this site, which the soils in this area are susceptible to. As such, EPCCD would like to see the following recommendations followed for the storage area: A) Disturbed areas not being built on should be mulched and revegetated within 45 days of disturbance using plant/grass species native and/or naturalized to El Paso County. B) Disturbed areas be either: mulched after seeding with weed-free hay or straw mulch at approximately 5,000 lbs per acre due to the exposed site and its proneness to wind erosion; Or areas that are not suitable for revegetation such as driveways, parking areas (if not going to be paved), storage areas, or safety areas around buildings/containers should have a 1-2" thick layer of crushed rock, road base, or gravel to assist in preventing having exposed soil that would be prone to wind/runoff erosion concerns. C) For areas being replanted with natural grass, consider using the El Paso County Conservation District’s Native Shotgun Mix (available at EPCCD.org) for reseeding, which is well suited to soils present on this site and is comprised of 100% native and naturalized grass species. If these measures are added to the project's plan, then the El Paso County Conservation District will be content with the applicant's commitment to soil conservation, watershed protection, and protection of the surrounding community. For any questions, please feel free to contact the EPCCD at 719-600-4706 or Will Vogl - Board VP at Will@EPCCD.org |
