The El Paso County Conservation District has reviewed this and we have the following comments: 1) Erosion controls We did not see any documents that went over an erosion control or revegetation/landscape plan to prevent wind erosion from this site. Given this is a storage area for vehicles that is existing already, we make these recommendations with the understanding that there is no additional soil disturbance being made. So we recommend the following: For disturbed 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. It is recommended this is added to the applicant's letter of intent as an additional paragraph for erosion controls where the vehicles will be parked/stored. 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 |
