Page 3 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR BOCC, CANNAFARMER. JULY 11.2 2021. (b). Adequate potable water is available or can be developed to safely support the proposed use, including, fire control and suppression. Adequate on-site water exists, for the existing and proposed land uses, per the submitted Well Permit, which complies with the County requirements. (The water quality of the existing well water for ongoing human consumption is unknown). For the proposed greenhouses, there is a proposed indoor water cistern, to be filled inside with an existing hose, and there are proposed seasonal outdoor ground surface water lines, which will be placed from the existing structure to the proposed greenhouses. There is an existing fire hydrant at the site. The Fire Chief noted that the Applicant has been diligent about forbidding parking around the hydrant, and that the Applicant shall continue to do SO. The Applicant stated that the proposed excess water leaving the proposed greenhouses, percolating downwards through the subsurface soil, is designed to be minimal to none, due to the proposed "BluMat" irrigation system. (c). Adequate sewage disposal can be provided to support the proposed use. According to the Applicant, an existing septic system is present at the site, the proposed improvements are not located near the existing septic system, and the proposed improvements will not discharge into or near the existing septic system. (d) The proposed use will have any adverse effect on public or private property in the vicinity oft the development. The proposed improvements are not expected have a significant adverse impact on adjacent public or private property. (e) The proposed use will have any adverse effect on scenic values, historic sites or structures, air or water or environmental quality, wildlife (including habitat, food sources, migration routes, hunting, etc.), erosion o7 other geological condition. According to the Applicant and the Application, the proposed improvements (part of the proposed fence, and the top oft the proposed greenhouses) will be partially visible from Highway 550 (and the Rainbow Trail). The location of the proposed improvements has been selected to create the least visibility from Highway 550. The proposed greenhouses will be behind the existing structures (and lower in elevation) as viewed from Highway 550. The obscured visibility ofthe proposed improvements is expected to have some minimal impact on scenic values. Visibility of the proposed improvements can be minimized with the use of existing and proposed screening. Screening shall consist of existing and/or proposcd vegctation, and the County Staff may require planting of vegetation during/after construction, ifi needed. The proposed improvements are not expected to significantly impact wildlife. Proposed grading, fences, noise, and any lights, shall be minimized, to reduce the potential impact to on-site wildlife. A proposed screening fence is in the Application and the proposed height is unknown. 6 Adequate road access exists or can be developed to ensure access appropriate to the use, including access for emergency. services. This Proposed Modification of Premises is not expected to change the existing access or significantly increase the amount of vehicle trips (turns in and out) ofthe site along Highway 550. The access to and at the site for emergency services appears adequate for the existing and proposed land uses, and it appears to exceed the level of emergency services year round access in comparison to most County sites. Page 5 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR BOCC, CANNAFARMER.JULYI1.2021, seasonal nature of the proposed greenhouses, with no concrete/foundations, the short growing season, and the potential financial ramifications of a delay, and considering that this proposed cultivation expansion was briefly mentioned in the initial Business Plan, the Applicant's request for an expedited review process appears acceptable, as a one-time Exemption to the standard County Application review process (as specified in the "Uniform Requirements" chapter ofthe County regulations).

The following information contained herein is provided to assist in the review and approval for temporary greenhouse structures in order to stabilize and work towards a more sustainable marijuana cultivation business in San Juan County's Economic Development Corridor. As an existing ousiness (San Juan Cultivation, LLC) which has been in operation for six years, I believe my reputation in the community along with a lack of any compliance issues to date will provide assurances to the Board of County Commissioners that - am of good moral character and only intend to act within the guidelines set forth by San. Juan County and the State of Colorado. I, Kevin Farmer had no intent of asking for an exception to the Planning Commission process, however due to some miscommunication around what permits were required for my proposed change, i'm now significantly exposed from a financial risk perspective as I've invested $15,000 to date. Ifl'm unable to obtain approval for my changes tonight, M be forced to sell or close the business at the end of this summer season as ITI be unable to produce the product necessary to get the business through the winter siow season after investing the $15,000 to date. PA have to leave Silverton and eliminate three year-round positions (based on the proposed changes these positions are possible) currently staffed by Siiverton residents. Our growing season is extremely short and need to have plants in the ground before July 20" otherwise risk crop loss as l'm not prepared to grow them under lights in the warehouse facility that currently exists due to investment in the proposed improvements. Closure and job loss is not ntended to be a threat but rather explain the financial position my business and I am currently in and what this change will mean in terms oft the stability and in all honesty a successful addition to the economic diversification of San Juan County's GDP with less environmental impact than we currently contribute. Future plans of a community composting and vermicomposting (worm castings) program run through the facility providing valuable services to Silverton and move our community forward in food waste sustainability. Additionally, sharing of all cost related data with local organizations looking to establish community greenhouse gardens and help provide "proof of concept" for those community assets are a primary goal and offered at no cost to the community. The retail shop pays the bilis of the business and helps employee seasonal staff, however it hasn't' been allow for 150-200lbs of what was projected in terms of cars pulling over. The proposed changes will production in 2021 and 400-600lbs (addition of two more year round jobs) in the years following utilizing light deprivation techniques. All but what is needed for the retail shop will be sold onto the wholesale market. The oroposed improvements include three temporary hoop house style greenhouse spaces totaling 3,480 5q ft. Additionally, a security fence with three gates, cameras and drip irrigation will need to be installed to enclose the greenhouse spaces within the existing cultivation facility and provide water to the plants. The attached documents have been prepared as a San Juan County Improvement Permit Application. The Applicant requests review of this project by the Board of County Commissioners on July 14, 2021. am submitting 7 copies of this submittal to Lisa Adair for distribution to the Commissioners and other applicable users in order to review and approve this Application, Thank you for the time and consideration in this urgent matter.

All irrigation components are above ground and will be completely drained prior to the winter season. Water usage will be less than half of the 14 gpm rated well and will maintain zero waste water as currently exists with the indoor facility as the blumat system is specifically designed to maintain a static moisture level VS flood the growing medium with excess runoff as in traditional flood rrigation farming. See Blumat Watering System Information attached. Sewer Service: There will be no additional sewer needs as we will maintain no wastewater runoff or other discharges utilizing the Blumat rrigation system. Additionally, all growing methods have transition from hydroponic methods to living soil organic practices and continue to be regulated and inspected by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. To date no violation and the most recent inspector told us we "The Pride of the State" in regards to cannabis growing methods and our move to greenhouse space will reinforce this topic. Farming Method: The business has fully transitioned from hydroponic growing methods to organic living soil beds. Utilizing organic farming practices, there will be zero chemicals or environmentally, damaging prodicts utilized or stored on the premises. Utilizing locally sourced composts, certain microbial teas, cover crops and organic sail amendments, the move towards full sustainability will create an environment of carbon sequestration and the building of more diverse soil structure and health on the proposed plot. Power: There will be no additional power needs for the property and a reduction in usage will occur immediateiy but we will make no changes to the service provided by San Miguel Power Association. Lighting: No supplemental lighting will be used as all early growth will continue inside the current warehouse facility. Security cameras are 100% night vision capable up to 50ft (state requirement is 20ft) thus not requiring additional lighting. No additiona/supplementa lighting will be utilized to maintain the "Dark Sky" priorities of the State and County. The State of Colorado has recognized that the cultivation of marijuana has increased the burden on the electric infrastructure and has prioritized the reduction of power consumption within the cannabis industry, including the migration to greenhouse and outdoor cultivation. Heatings The greenhouses are intended to be used during San Juan County's limited growing season, eliminating the need for additional heating of the greenhouse spaces throughout the winter season. Additionally, two layers of cover will be utilized to create an air pocket to help insulate the plants. in order to protect the business from a 100 year cold snap prior to harvest, a standard propane greenhouse heater will be maintained to insure against catastrophic loss should temperatures drop below 35 degrees Fahrenheit Inside the hoop house structures. Waste Management: No changes to the waste process as we currently grow cannabis indoors and comply with all waste requirements which will be maintained with the greenhouse changes. Additional waste is unexpected and will be disposed of in accordance with Federal, State and Local laws Landscaping: Sight block cedar fencing and native trees will be utilized to eliminate the small visible "windows" through the existing vegetation and structures with the intent of eliminating any visible structures or security fencing from the road. Raised beds within the greenhouse footprints. These beds will be for proper regenerative permaculture farming practices, eliminating all needs for chemical/synthetic fertilizers. Access: Access will not change as there is no significant expected change to traffic for the migration of cultivation from 100% indoor to greenhouse cultivation. A current CDOT access permit exists and does not reyuire modification. Foundation: There are no additional foundation requirements. Per the greenhouse supplier, all ground posts are buried into the ground 18 inches where the remaining structure is attached. The floor is dirt and we will plant directly into the ground utilizing raised beds for soil structure and plant heaith necessary to cultivation premium organic cannabis and all moisture will be allowed to permeate the existing soit and tap roots to reach the shallow water table. Surveying: Included with this packet is the Improvement Survey Plat map. Setbacks from Mineral Creek are more than double the 40' requirement. Additionally, there are no wetlands identified within 40' of the proposed perimeter fence, gates or temporary greenhouse structures. Subsurface Conditions: Subsurface conditions within the proposed change include fully permeable top soil, sand, and small rocks (less than 1" diameter to 18" diameter). Due to no foundation requirements for the temporary structures, ground posts for the structure are set into the existing ground with no needed changes. Additionally, substantial mprovement to the soil heaith can be expected based on the regenerative, permaculture, and organic farming methods to be utilized. County Geohazards Map: The Geohazards Map is attached along with the dentification of the property location. As you'll note from the location of the property, iti is identified in a PF zone. However, examination of the updated but yet to be approved new FEMA Floodplain Mapping for the property, all existing and proposed changes are not considered in a floodplain or within the 40' setback requirement. County Avalanche Map: The location for this project has been identified on the County Avalanche Hazard Map and has no overlap or proximity issues with the at risk areas. Structures: The improvement site is located in the Economic Development Zone of the county and therefore is justifiably located in one of the few areas within the county that this type of mprovement to an existing business is not only allowed but encouraged. The applicant plans to construct three structures of which two will be completed in 2021 and an additional greenhouse will be installed spring of 2022 (please note all impacts noted above are for the "as completed" improvements including the 2022 addition. The greenhouse film will be removed each fall when plants have been harvested limiting any potential snow load issues on the temporary Quonset style frames Blumat Watering Svstem Information from blumat.com Advantages Tropf-Blumat is an automatic watering system for plants all around the house.

The Silverton Placer is located in the Economic Development Corridor (ED) on the South side of Highway 550. The site already has CDOT access permit for the Proposed Greenhouse Improvements and the resulting business changes. The ED zone is where development is to be concentrated and encouraged, when compared to development on more remote and less accessible backcountry sites. Project Site & Proposed Greenhouses (3) Location: The project site, the Silverton Placer, consists of approximately 12 acres of flat pasture land, wetlands, and Mineral Creek runs through the property from west to east as it flows towards the Animas River junction. The approximate elevation of the site is 9,400 ft. The Applicant, San Juan Cultivation, LLC, has proposed to erect three temporary hoop style greenhouse structures, a security fence, sight block cedar fence and landscaping trees (native to San Juan County), camera and security system, and above ground irrigation. The proposed improvement envélope is in the pasture immediately behind the existing warehouse being used for cultivation. This space drops below the road grade by approximately 10' concealing 90%+ of the proposed structures. Setbacks are substantially greater than 40' requirements from Mineral Creek or any wetlands areas which are concentrated on the East and West ends of the property where the pasture behind the property is the subject site. / - Wetlands Visibility of the Greenhouses, Fence, Cedar Site Block Fence & Landscaping Trees from HWY 550: HWY 550 passes past the subject site. Fortunately the subject improvements are behind the existing warehouse and dubplex (shop & apartment). Additionally, the majority of the Security Fence and all of the greenhouse structures drop in elevation down to the pasture preserving the integrity of the scenic experience by cars driving down the highway. The addition of a Cedar Site Block fence and Landscaping trees native to the San Juan's will eliminate almost all of the view of the security fence and greenhouse rafters and continue to mprove the mage of the existing warehouse and duplex. Below are graphic depictions of the visibility changes for those traveling on HWY 550: Location of Landscaping Trees to block small windows as vehicles pass by at 45mph. Location Of Improvements Was Selected For Proximity to Existing Structures and Minimization of Visibility From Public Land and Existing Trails: Location of the structure drops below the existing warehouse and duplex, blocking most of the view from HWY 550. The Rainbow Trail that runs above the road grade against the north side of the valley will incur the largest visibility change as the greenhouse structures will be partially visible as the elevation of the trail is high enough to view from a limited "birds eye" perspective. As an approved commercial cannabis facility, the additions of greenhouses that can be seen from this trail would not be considered out of place or nappropriate, especially considering the subject' s location in the Economic Development Corridor. The greenhouses are professionally engineered and will be maintained to ensure covers do not tear or become loose from the structure. From November 1- March 31"the covering will be removed to allow snow to fail directly to the ground eliminating any snow load issues on the structures. Only the hoop frames will remain in place during the winter months. All coverings and irrigation (non-visible) will be removed and stored within the existing warehouse during the winter months. Topsoil, Utilities, Lighting, Oriveways: Topsoil: There will be no removal oft topsoil. Additional organic growing medi um inputs will be added to the topsoil within the greenhouse structures for the express purpose of cultivation organic cannabis. Utilities: Utilities are already on site and will not need to be altered for the proposed improvements. There will be additional camera and perimeter alarms tied in to the existing security system maintained in the existing warehouse facility. All camera and perimeter alarms are wireless and intended to be utilized outdoors. Lighting: There will be no additional lighting used. All security cameras are outfitted with night vision technology. Additional lighting can interfere with the photoperiod sensitivity of the plants and therefore the "dark sky" will be not only maintained by necessary to ensure the production cycle isn't impacted. Driveways: There will be no additional driveways or access necessary for the proposed improvements. There is not expected to be any change in traffic to the existing businesses on site as we're simply moving the cultivation of cannabis under the sun VS. under the high demand lighting thatis currently in place. Building Materials: The components of the project that will be viewable from the highway are intended to match the existing site block tencing (cedar) and landscape utilizing native trees to cover the smail windows where the existing vegetation does not fully block the view of the proposed structures. No reflective or textures not found on the site will be utilized in the proposed improvements. Below are images of each component of the proposed improvements.

For: July 14 Board of County Commissioners Meeting. From: Town/County Planning Director. Regarding: Some ofthe Planning Department Work During the Past Two Weeks. Town and County Recent Projects The Town/County Building/Planning Departments have been very busy this summer with a high volume of applications. The majority of applications have some submittal items missing. We are currently processing approximately 30 Town/County planning applications. The Town/County Building/Planning Departments (and Town Public Works) have been receiving and replying to a high volume of calls and emails requesting information on individual sites. Typical inquiries involve questions about hazard districts in Town (such as avalanche/loodplain, how to extend proposed infrastructure, and in many cases higher than normal proposed density and/or homes in the ED zone (originally intended for light industrial). For the County, typical inquiries are regarding various mining claims, and the sites for future cabins seem to be steeper and more remote than what we have previously seen. The other type of mining claim inquiries seems to be previously-approved cabin sites that are changing hands. There are recently a lot of"administrative review" County permit applications. These typically include: applications for proposed structures on existing Lots in existing County subdivisions (ie, attached Gleason approval letter). Also there are some County special events permit applications, upcoming County sign permit applications/special use permit applications. The Planning Commission will meet on July 20 to discuss two Town applications. One is the proposed Miners Flats Eight Unit Condo Structure Planned Unit Development (PUD) on Cement Street near 14th Street. The other is an application for two proposed vintage airstreams to be placed behind the Weaving Studio Historic Building on Greene Street, to be used as non- winter Proposed Lodging Establishment Suites. The new Town Planning Assistant Clark Thornhill has been helping to address a backlog of Town/County Planning Department applications and workload. The Town/County Building Department is experiencing a very high volume of construction and Building Permits this summcr, pcrhaps a record breaking amount. The construction at present tends to be in Town and not much in the County. Draft Ordinances we are starting to work on in the Town/County Planning/Building Departments include: maximum structural square footages/footprints for both Town and County, revisions to RV/Camper Park regulations, revisions to address a shortage ofhousing. I am seeing an increase in mining claim owners calling this summer to request a permit for mitigating beetle kill trees. 5,000 board feet of cutting is allowed without a County permit.

Townof Silverton 2 8 SAN] JUAN COUNTY PO: Box 250 PO Box 466 Silverton, CO 81433 Silverton, CO 81433 970-387-5522 970-387-5766 Date: June 30, 2021. Applicant: Andy Gleason. From: Town/County Planning Director L. Adair. Project: Proposed Gleason Residence on Lot 2 in the Gleason Subdivision ofTract A-1 of the Ophir Placer USMS No. 1124, County Road 6 (Shrine Road), near Silverton, in San Juan County, Colorado. Project Description: This letter is regarding a County Improvement Permit Application submitted by Andy Gleason in 2021, for the Proposed Gleason Residence, which will be constructed on the existing vacant Lot 2 of the Gleason Subdivision. The Subdivision contains two Lots and was previously approved by the County in 2007. The 2007 Subdivision divided Tract A-1 of the Ophir Placer USMS No. 1124 into two Lots, which are accessed by County Road 6 (the Shrine Road). The proposed improvements consist of a proposed residence, a septic system, relatively minor driveway grading, with a cistern to be placed inside the residence basement. Application: The application was submitted electronically in March 2021, attached. The application is adequately complete. An application fee was paid to the County Treasurer on June 17, 2021. $350 was paid which is an overpayment of $50. The Planning Department files contained a copy of the Subdivision Plat (filed on December 14, 2007). The Planning Department files contained a letter conditionally approving the Subdivision (dated October 9, 2007). Those previous Subdivision documents are attached and some excerpts are included below. The 2021 application documents have been scanned and posted on the County website. The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations do not require adjacent land owner notification for an Improvement Permit Application that is involving an existing Lot in an existing Subdivision. Review Process: The Improvement Permit Application submitted in 2021 can be administratively reviewed by County Staff if the current proposal complies with all of the County's previous requirements which are specified in the attached 2007 documents, including Subdivision Plat Notes and Subdivision Conditions of Approval. Subdivision Requirements from 2007: A. Previous Conditions of Approval from 2007: 1. That the final plat drawings specifically identify the dedicated Open Space as an easement rather than land dedicated to the County. 2. That access to the property be guaranteed to future property owners through a new agreement with the owner of the driveway on Tract A-2 of Ophir Placer or the establishment of a driveway permit directly from the Shrine Road (County Road 6). Gleason ResidenceSubdivision Lot 2 Tract A-1 Ophir Placer, Conditions of Approval, Page 1 Subdivision Improvements: The 2021-2022 construction shall comply with all sections oft the current adopted County Zoning and Land Use Regulations including the section referenced in the 2007 Conditions of Approval titled "7-112 FINAL PLAT DESIGN STANDARDS. The 2007 Condition of Approval appears to require a Subdivision Improvements Agreement (SIA) however the Subdivision utilities had already been placed, and the shared driveway had already been constructed. Section 7- 112 does include the County's requirements for septic systems. The proposed construction which includes a proposed residence, a proposed septic system, some minor on site driveway grading, placement of a propane tank and cistern, and a proposed shed, shall comply with all parts ofthe County regulations, including but not limited to those described within Section 7-112. At this time there does not appear to be a need for a SIA document, because the Subdivision infrastructure required of County Subdivider/Developers has already been installed. The exception would be the Lot 2 septic system, and that needs to be constructed and approved in accordance with the requirements of the San Juan Basin Public Health Department (SJBPH) before any County Building Department Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) for the proposed residence can be obtained. A SIA document (and any potential associated Subdivision Public Improvements Bond) does not appear to be required at this time. County Road MaintenancelPlowing: The Applicant' 's 2007 Subdivision Plat acknowledges that the County Road is not required to be plowed or maintained, which complies with the 2007 Condition of Approval. However, in speaking with the County Road and Bridge Supervisor Louie Girodo in May 2021, the Shrine Road is in fact currently plowed from Highway 550 to the Christ of the Mines Shrine. The existing shared driveway for this two-Lot Subdivision and the project site begins along that currently-plowed stretch. The Applicant has acknowledged in writing and on the 2007 Plat that there is no guarantee that plowing or maintenance will occur. The County Road and Bridge Supervisor verbally stated to me by phone that he has no concerns or requirements for this existing shared driveway or this Improvement Permit Application. Emergency Services: The Applicant' S 2007 Subdivision Plat acknowledges the limitations associated with emergency services, which complies with the 2007 Condition of Approval. There: is no mention of plowing ofthe driveway which could significantly affect fire truck access. Iti is recommended that the Applicant use a passenger pickup truck with plow attachment to plow the driveway from CR 6 to the proposed residence when occupied in winter for fire(and emergency services) access given the wooded terrain and proximity to Town. It is recommended that the proposed cistern be kept full for adequate fire protection. From the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations: All applications for review under this Chapter will be examined initially to determine whether the proposal is consistent with the County's Master Plan. The County Economic Corridors Map and corresponding description on pages 35-36 of the 2010 Town/County Master Plan were reviewed. The scale of the Map does not clearly depict whether or not the Shrine Road is defined as a County Economic Corridor, but both ends of the Shrine Road are shown as Economic Corridors. The Master Plan description of the criteria for the types of lands in the Economic Corridors appears to match the attributes ofthis project site. This site is a Lot in a previously approved 2007 County Subdivision, and that indicates that it likely complies with the gcncral goals of thc Mastcr Plan which cxistcd in 2007. Thc 2010 Mastcr Plan statcs: Generally, the corridors contain less-steep terrain and more developable mining claims than other parts of the unincorporated county. The economic corridors have year-round plowed county roads or direct access to Hwy 550, meaning that they have year round access to services dependent on wheeled vehicle access (ambulance, fire and law enforcement). The 2010 Master Plan also states: Goal LU-2 Focus future development on mining claims into economic corridors that are environmentally suitable, where public services are available and that provide feasible opportunities for growing the community and the economy. This proposal, of a single family residence and associated improvements, being fairly compatible with and located close Gleason ResidenceSubdivision Lot 2 Tract A-1 Ophir Placer, Conditions of. Approval, Page 3 Adequate utilities at this site appear to include hauled water, a proposed septic system, electric service is installed, a propane tank is proposed, and the applicant may want to consider extending aj pipe from the existing subdivision water well which could provide additional well water for fire suppression. The existing well water is poor quality for drinking; however, it could possibly be hooked up to a standpipe or hydrant for emergency fire use. Itis assumed at this time that electric will be provided by San Miguel Power Association and propane will be provided by Silverton LP Gas. The County regulations do not require electric or propane. (i) Adequate emergency services exist to serve the proposed use, unless deemed unnecessary or not practical. Emergency services access to this site is not ideal, however the access and expected short response time for any fire/emergency services are much better than most County properties. The driveway being kept maintained and plowed during winter will greatly improve the ability of reaching the structure in the event of a house fire or wildfire. () There are natural hazards which may adversely affect the site or the proposed use of the site. The geologic and avalanche hazards at this site have been investigated within the 2021 application, and the site appears to have hazards which are negligible and/or can be: mitigated. The fire hazard at the site, however, could be considered significant due to the existing dense trees/vegetation. The applicant should take great care to follow the recommendations in the Colorado Fire Wise guidelines to create a defensible space around the structure(s) (residence and shed). The applicant will need to balance removal of vegetation for reduction of fire hazards, versus providing some screening for mitigation ofvisual impacts as viewed from the Shrine Road, Town Streets, and Highway 550. Town County Mutual Overlay Zone: The proposed single family residence and associated improvements may be located within the Town and County Mutual Overlay District or area of Mutual Interest. The application is forwarded to the other governing body's (the Town's) staff for review. Summary: The Improvement Permit Application submitted in March 2021 for the Proposed Gleason Residence on Lot 2: in the Gleason Subdivision, of Tract A-1 of the Ophir Placer, appears to be in general compliance with the 2010 Master Plan, the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations, and the County's 2007 requirements of the Subdivision. The Permit Application is administratively reviewed and conditionally approved with the following Conditions of Approval. Please review, and acknowledge agreement with, the following Conditions of Approval, by signing at the bottom of this document, in the presence of a Notary Public. A signed notarized copy of these Conditions of Approval shall immediately be filed at the San Juan County Courthouse (contact County Clerk Ladonna Jaramillo at 970-387-5671). (Plcasc SCC following pagc) Gleason ResdenceSubdivision Lot 2 Tract A-1 Ophir Placer, Conditions of Approval, Page 5 10. The site shall have adequate screening in general compliance with the County's adopted "screening" requirements. Ift the structure is visible from the Shrine Road, the Highway, or Town, then the County Staff can require screening. The applicant can discuss the County Staff screening requirements with the Board of County Commissioners for a final determination. 11. The Applicants follow all recommendations of the avalanche and geological hazards expert, to determine the orientation of the proposed structures uphill corners, design methods to reduce the overall on-site hazard potential to humans and structure(s), to assist in selecting utility depths/locations (including utilities and propane tanks) and assist with proposed parking locations to reduce hazard exposure. 12. The project shall comply with all applicable San Juan County Zoning and Land Use Regulations. The violation of San Juan County Zoning and Land Use Regulations, any State or Federal regulations, shall cause this permit to be void. Ifr requirements differ, the most stringent shall apply. 13. A wildfire mitigation consultant from the Four Corners region is recommended, to create a defensible space, and to provide fire mitigation written/verbal recommendations, to reduce the overall hazards of a forest fire causing fire to the proposed structure, and to reduce the hazards of this structure causing a forest fire. A wildfire mitigation consultant can work with the Applicant and the local fire authorities, to develop recommendations, which shall be installed/followed by the Applicant, on items including but not limited to: defensible space, dead standingbrush/tree thinning, placement'sizing of cistern(s), any fire yinsterAlmsupreson system, availability of water, placement of propane/combustibles, selection of heat/woodstoves, fire resistant building materials. 14. On site burning of cut tree limbs and brush requires notification of the Sheriff and Fire Departments prior to the controlled burn. Water and tools shall be readily available directly adjacent to the fire during any controlled burn and there shall be no unsupervised campfires or burn piles. The Sheriff and Fire Departments shall have the right to prevent the owner and contractor from burning, if weather conditions are expected to be dry or windy. Additionally, all required permits, including but not limited to San Juan Basin Health Department and CDPHE permits, shall be obtained by the Applicants prior to controlled burns. 15. Immediately prior to tree clearing, grading, and foundation excavation occurring within 30 feet of any of property lines of the project site, the property lines shall be roped off using survey flagging or caution tape, by a Licensed Surveyor. The flagging marking the closest property line shall be clearly understandable in the field, for measuring and to prevent the tree clearing/heavy equipment from trespassing onto any adjacent lands. 16. Fire sprinklers are encouraged but not required. 17. Vehicle parking shall be located outside of the 60 feet wide CR 6 right of way, unless approved in writing otherwise by the County Road & Bridge Department. Parking associated with the proposed structure shall not cause a safety hazard to public/private plowing, Road & Bridge, the travelling public. Parking area locations shall be selected to minimize human avalanche exposure. 18.

Gmail Willy Tookey <admin@sanjuancolorado.us> Extension of Road Closure for Terry Tunnel work?? 1 message Jenkins, Joy <Jenkins.Joy@epa.gop Mon, Jul 12, 2021 at 5:40 PM To: scomletch@gmai.om comleter@gmal.com, William Tookey sanuarcounyeronternetr Cc: "Guy, Kerry" <Guy.Kerry@epa. gov>, "Parker, Robert" Pane.Pobengepagow, "Jones, Athena" SonesAlmena@epagow, "Archer, Beth" archeretaben@epagor HI Scott and Willy, The Drilling company (Authentic Drilling from Denver) that was selected to do the Terry Tunnel borehole work, got delayed by a few days and then let us know they cannot make it until the end of this week. So we are wondering if it is possible for us to extend the road closure to be able to complete the borehole installation and the water pumping work? We originally anticipated being complete with those activities on July 26th - but the company's delay will set us back more than a week. And to be on the safe side we like a two week extension. Please let us know if this is ok, or if there is a more formal process we should go through to ask for an extension of the road closure. We can add additional notices in the Silverton Standard as needed. Thanks for considering this request! Joy Joy Jenkins, Ph.D., P.E.

Photo courtesy L.S. Forest Service & Jonathan Romeo 07/08/2021 After a engthy nvestigation, federal law enforcemert was unable to find Dut wnat started a wildfire near the popular ice Lakes Trail west of Silverton last fall, though it's believed to be human caused. According to a final report obtained by The Durango Telegraph through a Freedom of Information Act request - investigators scoured the burn scar in the days after the fire out were unable to find an gnition source, The specific area of origin was determined, but no evidence was found during the investigation indicating what exactly caused he fire Shawn A, Cave, the lead investigator for the U.S, Forest Service, wrote in the report, The Ice Fire" broke out on the afternoon of Oct. 19, 2020, about a half mile up the highly trafficked Ice Lakes Trail. 6 miles from Silverton along South Mineral Road. It wasn't until Oct, 26, when a winter storm hit the region, that the fire was considered fully contained after burning nearly 600 acres of national forest. No one was injured and no structures lost, but the fire did trap 28 hikers who had to be evacuated by helicopter, and cost about $750,000 to fight. The blaze also ran the risk of coming into Silverton and threatened the town's S water supply And, ultimately, because of the damage to the forest. the Ice Lakes Trail was shut down indefinitely. Though no exact cause was determined, federal investigators believe the Ice Fire was started by a person, and according to the investigation report, the leading theory is a cast-off cigarette butt. "The only probable factor as to contributing to the start oft the fire is human in nature," Cave wrote. 'However, no evidence or conclusive evidence was found in the point of origin. Therefore, the cause of the Ice Fire isi inconclusive. Pinning a point of origin Around 11:30 a,m. Oct. 19, passing hikers reportedly saw the smoldering beginnings of the fire and tried to put it out by hand, But the burn quickly grew out of control, and realizing their efforts were not going to work, the hikers rushed down to call emergency dispatch, with the first call coming in at 1:13 p.m. In October 2020, the San Juan Mountains were in an extreme drought after a no-show monsoon season and a continuing dry pattern into the fall. All over Colorado, destructive wildfires were breaking out at historic rates. On the day the Ice Fire started, windy conditions caused it to spread rapidly, inciting a hefty emergency response that included nearly 100 firefighters and aircrew members, Part of that response was the Forest Service' s fire investigation team, namely Cave, who has worked as a law enforcement officer in Southwest Colorado since fall 2011. But, because off fire danger, steep terrain and falling trees, the area wasn't safe to enter on the day the fire first flared up, the report said, instead, investigators talked to witnesses who said they saw columns of smoke first billow up about a half-mile from the trailhead, near a boulder within a meadow. An emergency helicopter crew that flew over the area just an hour after the first call to dispatch confirmed these accounts of the fire's s point of origin. On Oct. 23, 2020, ast the Ice Fire slowed down (having burned nearly 600 acres out still oniy 50% contained), it was determined the area where the fire was believed to have started was safe enough for investigators to begin surveying: Once on scene, the starting point was easily dentifiable after investigators spotted a wide "V" pattern on the forest floor, indicating where the blaze broke out and then spread, which was consistent with eyewitness accounts and wind directions Oct. 19. "I could see how the fire was able to burn toward the treeline, - Cave wrote in the report. "From the treeline, was able to see how it established itself into the timber and became a crowning fire." The logical conclusion Missing from the scene, however, was any indication of what started the fire. So, investigators started to rule out possible causes. No storms or weather activity were happening at the time, sO lightning was eliminated. investigators didn't find any signs of a camp or campfire nearby. And, there no roads in the immediate vicinity where a spark from a car or other motorized vehicle could have caused it. Instead, the more logical conclusion, held by many local emergency crews from the outset, was that one of the hundreds of people a day who make the hike on the Ice Lakes Trail was the culprit Glving favor to this theory was the fact the point of origin for the fire was close to the trail itself. about 75 feet off, and at a "good rest stop" for hikers, according to the report. "Natural elements were ruled out as well as mechanical elements such as a motorized trail (or) road, - Cave wrote Though no cigarette butts could bei found at the specific origin, this is the leading theory." Fire investigations can be incredibly difficult, as active wildfires, weather and other tactors can delay or diminish the quallty of evidence on the scene. A Forest Service spokeswoman Wednesday was unable to answer why investigators think it was a cigarette. No potential suspects are listed in the report, either. Still, the investigation report confirms what locals on the ground believed for months. "Just by ruling out things, it was almost certainly human caused," Jim Donovan, director of San Juan County's Office of Emergency Management, said. "There weren't any other factors at play during the day." It's a people problem The Ice Lakes Trail is one of the most popular and heavily used in Southwest Colorado, Located within the San Juan National Forest, the trail starts at an elevation of 9,840 feet and climbs a couple thousand feet to two stunning. turquoise alpine lakes: Ice Lake and Island Lake. On any given dayi in summer, hundreds of people make the 7-mile round-trip hike. But in recent years, social media (looking at you, Instagram) and countless "best of" lists have biown up use on the trail. Then. with COVID-19 pushing more people into the outdoors, the trailhead and parking lot started to feel more like Disney World than a gateway to the great outdoors. It was common last year to see 400 to 600 hikers a day pre-pandemic, it was 250 hikers a day). One count over Labor Day weekend 2020 saw nearly 2,000 hikers and 215 overnight backpackers. All that use took a significant toll on the fragile alpine tundra. People were regularly seen going off trail, damaging vegetation, starting illegal campfires above treeline and leaving behind litter and human waste. The other big concern, of course, was the risk of wildfire. Countless studies have shown more than 90% of wildland fires in the U.S. are caused by people, whether through unattended fires, sparks from motorized vehicles, fireworks, intentional acts of arson and yes, the flick of a cigarette butt. According to federal data, in 2020, humans started a staggering 53,563 wildfires - 91% of all wildfires - burning nearly 6 million acres, One of the more peculiar aspects about the Ice Fire, however, was how late in the year it started and how high in elevation it burned 10,000-11,500 feet). The blaze also shot a message to the high-elevation town of Silverton that it was not immune to wildfire. The last major fire near Silverton was in 1879, when 26,000 acres of forest burned around Molas Pass, "Ity was definitely a wake-up call, as far as the fire threat to town," Donovan said. "We didn't think it was going to be that much of a concern, but it definitely turned into that." Change gonna come While the fire did not impact Ice Lake or Island Lake, the trail itself was heavily damaged and now presents risks of falling trees, rock slides and flooding. As a result, the trail, as well as several adjacent roads and campgrounds, will be closed until at least September when Forest Service crews can reassess conditions after the monsoon season. But that doesn't mean people are staying out, said San Juan County Sheriff Bruce Conrad. People are just going around the sign," " Conrad said. 'People are constantly out there and think it's great no one else is out there. People don't understand we'rer not closing it to be (another term for jerks). There's reasoning behind it. They're endangering themselves and the people that come after them. . Conrad said his deputies give a warning to first-time offenders and tickets to people if caught in the area a second time. As of Tuesday, one person has been ticketed. According to the Forest Service, fines can run up to $5,000: Lorena Williams, a Forest Service spokeswoman, said the agency has also increased law enforcement and volunteer presence in the area, too. And those aren't the only changes coming for one of Southwest Colorado's crown jewel hikes. A permit system, long in the talks, moved closer to reality last year after the incredible increase of use on the trail and subsequent deteriorating landscape, culminating in the fire. "The SJNF is weighing all options for management of the Ice Lakes Trail, and a permit system is just one of those possible options," Williams said. "We have completed some initial research and continue to gather information about all options." For Conrad and many Silverton locals, something's got to change. "That area has been under such pressure from over-use, it's good to give the area and wildlife some reprieve while USFS contemplates how to better manage it," Conrad said. "But it is closed for public safety purposes and people back there will be charged. ?
