Building Siting:  The proposed cabin site will bel located near the ridge, directly east of the existing cabin. The siting best utilizes the natural topography, with the cabin situated on a gently sloping natural bench near the ridgeline that contains no vegetation, which willr require minimal disturbance at the building site. Being on a bench, the cabin will be set back into the hill  and less visible to passersby. County Avalanche Map:  The Sketch Plan for this project has been overlaid onto the County Avalanche Map, as shown on sheet "B" included with this application. According to the map, the building  site is outside any potential avalanche areas or paths.  County Geohazards Map:  The Sketch Plan for this project has been overlaid onto the County Geohazards Map, as shown ons sheet "C" included with this application. According to the County Geohazards Map, the building site is in an area of talus slope (ts), defined by the County Geologic Hazard Legend as"Anarea of active deposition of material fromrockfall and debris flow. Mass failure may occur as talus slides or debris flows." Further information of the soils at the building site are detailed in the Geotechnical Engineering Study included with this  application.    BonAnno Cabin Project Narrative  Foundation:  The intended foundation will consist of concrete stem walls and strip footings that will extend below frost depth and 12" minimum below native grade. The deck will include steel posts with concrete spot footings that will extend below frost depth. The proposed foundation for the cabin will follow all excavation and foundation design recommendations outlined by the geotechnical engineer for the specific soils found at  the building site. Elevation at Structure:  The floor elevation of the proposed cabin is 11,835 feet, which is above the 11,000 feet County limit on square footage which limits to a maximum floor area of 1,000SF. The proposed cabin has a floor area of 844 SF with a 140 SF covered deck. The overall footprint of the cabin is-T-shaped with the deck off the southwest side. The cabin will have as single 3:12 sloped shed roof over the entire cabin and deck footprint. The maximum height of the cabin, which is measured from the lowest adjacent native grade up to the high eave of the 3:12 roof, is approximately 17'-1", which is below the County height limit of 301 feet.

More specifically, the project is located in Township 42 North, Range 7 West, Section 16 of the New Mexico Principal Meridian on County Road 51 and is shown on the Handies Peak U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle (see attached Map 1). The San Juan County Land Use Code requires that construction be conducted outside of the alpine tundra community for the project tol be approved, San Juan County requires an alpine tundra habitat surgery to finalize and approve the Conditional Approval letter required for project construction. Barr Engineering Co (Barr) conducted the alpine habitat survey andi is pleased to provide this report of  The project is located at approximately 3,600(11,850) feeti in elevation.  findings.  2 Survey Methods  2.1 Pre-Field Review  A desktop review of the project was completed prior to thet field survey and included ar review of the community type and classification fort the area surrounding the project location to serve as al baseline reference. NatureServe Explorer was referenced for the ecological land classifications in the project vicinity and was used toi identify, describe, and map ecological features during the field evaluation. The NatureServe Explorer system uses associations of biotic and environmental factors, including climate, geology, topography, soils, hydrology, and vegetation. NatureServe Explorer GIS layers were cross referenced with the project location and mapped for potential community type (see attached Map 2). These data should not be regarded as a substitute for on-site surveys required fore environmental assessments due tot the absence of known occurrence data in any particular geographic area; therefore, an onsite survey of the proposed BonAnno cabin building footprint and adjacent land was conducted to  verify and classify the existing vegetation, habitat, and community types.  2.2 Survey Methods  Barr Senior Biologist/Botanist, Julial Hanson, conducted thei field alpine tundra habitat assessment fort the project on. July 5, 2024, during the peak of the summer growing season (botanist qualifications are provided in Attachment A). Prior tot thes site visit, it was confirmed that thes snowpack had dissipated, and conditions were suitable for survey. The survey was conducted within the proposed construction footprint and adjacent habitat. Survey methodology included identification and species documentation of observed vegetation, documentation of habitat characteristics, and photo documentation. Site-specific survey details are described below. Section 3 provides the desktop reference community types mapped in the project area, and Section 4 discusses survey results and existing habitat type as documented during the  field assessment.    3 Habitat and Plant Community Assessment  3.1 Vegetation Community Types  Based on the desktop review of NatureServe Explorer GIS database layers (Map 2), potential community types mapped within and adjacent tot the BonAnno cabin site include three classifications: Rocky Mountain Alpine Fell-Field, Rocky Mountain Alpine Montane Wet Meadow, and Rocky Mountain Subalpine Dry-Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland. Allt three ecological systems descriptions from NatureServe Explorer were reviewed and compared with the existing conditions oft the site during thet field  visit.  4 Survey Results  4.1 Existing habitat  Ac comparison of the three potential NatureServe Explorer ecological systems descriptions mapped for potential to occur at thes site (Map 2) and the existing habitat characteristics and plant species documented on site determined that the Rocky Mountain Subalpine Dry-Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland habitat is present in thep project area. Existing habitat characteristics observed during the site visit included ar matrix forest representing thel highest forest int the area with Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmanni) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) dominating. Precipitation is predominantly int thet form of snow; snowpack is deep and late-lying and summers are cool. Frost at this elevation is possible all summer. This community reflects a woodland andi forest physiognomy andi is found at the upper treeline areas with open meadows (See NatureServe description in Attachment B). The project area included open meadow and surrounding tree canopy with low-angle vegetated slopes (Photographs 1-3).

July 2024 habitat survey for the project determined thatt the site does not support alpine tundra community type characteristics including: vegetation physiognomy of sparse cushion plants to dense turf, dwarf shrublands or krummholz form trees, or lack oft tree species due to elevation. The site also did not support an alpine tundra ecosystem, reflecting al lack of snow due tol high exposed peaks and strong winds and/or rocky substrate with permafrost and potentially supporting peat layers. The botanist determined that the site represents Rocky Mountain Subalpine Dry-Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland and would meet the requirements oft the Zoning and Land Use Regulation San.

We began what we thought would be a multiyear effort to replace our equipment while under the impression that we had until the supposed warranty on our newest units expired to Initially, the plan was to start applying for grants. We have applied to the FEMAAFG (Assistance to Firefighters Grant) annually without success, that outcome more understandable at the time I guess as some of our equipment seemed new enough to them, and our current predicament wasn't Our strategy was/is to replace our entire complement as it is unsafe to have different, incompatible equipment on the fireground i.e., a mix of brands that don't work well together, which would be the case if smaller batches of different units were purchased at different times fori instance. The industry standards used to sanction SCBA equipment are the NFPA 1981 and 1982 standards, typically updated every 5 years. COVID screwed that up, the 2018 version is still the current standard, probably will be updated next year. We currently have 22 packs plus spare bottles that are onepwelsperansumar brand, same company, purchased multiple times. Our 8 newest ones are 2007 standard obtained in 2016 due to a recall. The rest are 1997 standard with some over 20 On April 14h the rep from our service company (for repairs and annual testing and certification) informed his customers of pseudo inside information that Honeywell would close their operations in December and would not be renewing their NIOSH certification which would end after the first quarter We immediately started working in 2 directions, obtaining replacement equipment and pursuing legal  decertified breathing apparatus units (SCBA).  informal language is retained:  complete the task, ca. 2031.  foreseeable.  years old.  of 2025.  options regarding warranty issues.

This grant is specifically for PPE and our problem is exactly what Official, and worse, word came from Honeywell that they would be voluntarily pulling their NIOSH certification effective December 16". Itv will be "illegal" to use our current equipment after that and service, repair, and certification will not be available. Along those lines Willy also asked the county attorney about it and my understanding is he said new equipment would be required. On Tuesday, September 3d, we received the notice that the state denied our request for Direct Distribution funding due to some of our equipment being less than 10 years old, Iwill not digress on The rep from one of our main suppliers, Tom Parascandola of L.N. Curtis, has been aware of our situation and has bent over backward to try and help us. He called me the morning of Thursday, September 5lh with a most amazing offer. He found 20 demo units in the company, state of the art MSA G1s, that we can get as a fully warranted, as new, package for $134,000. This package bought brand new would cost around $300,000.

Ont behalf of the Board of San Miguel Power Association, we are writing to express our: support for solar and communtyresileny projects that adhere toi the principles of local support and appropriate scale, given the location and any site constraints. As an organization dedicated to the betterment of the communities that we serve, we ask that, when planning and defining land use restrictions, consideration be given to the potential fors sustainable energy solutions toe enhance communityresllence and environmental: stewardship, drive energy independence, and decrease energy costs for the communities where they are located. While we advocate for local solar in our territory in general, community solar projects, in particular, provide avaluable opportunity for residents and businesses to access renewable energy sources without the need for individual installations. In many instances, the mountains and canyons of our area make individual installation locations unsuitable. Community solar can provide another option to the residents of these locations while promoting energy equity for those who cannot afford their own individual installation. Wet believet that successful community solar andi resiliency projects should meet thet following criteria: 1. *"Local Supporl**: Communtyimolwement and: supporl are crucial for thes success and lungevily of these projects. We advocate for comprehensive community engagement processes that ensure local residents, ousinesses, and stakeholders are informed, consulted, and given a voice in project planning andi implementation.

We support projects located in areas that meet or exceed all of thatj jurisdiction's siting considerations.
