~ 345~ EAGLE COUNTY 1041 EFFICIENT UTILIZATION OF MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL WATER PROJECTS Chapter 5 of Resolution 80-25, section 5-304 provides the submission requirements necessary for an application for a permit to engage in development of a municipal or industrial water projeet. Review of these requirements reveals that nearly all of them are identical to or very s1milar to the requirements listed in Chapter 4, section 4-304 concerning the permit for The Major Extension of Existing Domestic Water and Sewage Treatment Systems. Accordingly, pages 1 through 37, supra, are incorpo- rated here as a part of this permit application and those requirements which are unique to this permit are specifically enumerated as follows: 5-304 Submission Requirements 7. Detail Proposed Methods Of Ensuring Efficient Use Of Water Resources Within The Municipality Or Industrial Area And The Source Development Area. Such Methods Should Consider Metering Of All Users, Examination Of Rate Structure To Discourage Waste, And Recyeling Of Water For Reuse Where Permissible By Colorado Water Law. Appendix E in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement identifies the water conservation measures for the Cities of Colorado Springs and Aurora. Diversion of water in the souree development area is consistent with efficient use of water resources. All efforts are made to efficiently collect, transport and store diverted waters. These efforts include, but are not limited to lining of tunnels, closed conduits, maximum utilization of deep water reservoirs, preventative maintenance, and transportation timing. 9. In Instances Where Municipal Or Industrial Wastewater Or Storm Water Disposal Methods Are Not Subject To And Regulated By Other State And/Or Federal Statutes Or Regulations, Detail The Proposed Methods By Which Storm Waters Or Wastewaters Will Be Prevented From Contaminating Aquifiers. Wastewater discharge for Colorado Springs and Aurora is governed by State and Federal statutes. Sufficient protection for aquifers exists through discharge limitations placed on the wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater or storm water disposal within the source development area will occur only during the construction period and only to a very limited amount. Any wastewater discharge from sanitation facilities will be subject to state NPDES requirements. Any storm water run-off from the construction site is likely to be minimal and pollution of streams with such turbid run-off will be prevented through compliance with U.S. Forest Service construction conditions (see p 2-21, DEIS (Attachment 1) regarding mitigation required by the USFS). 23
