iHC. S.;ott - Pifia (;ravel Pit #; ;,,a✓ ,? <br /> Mr. Patrick Waller, Garfield County Planner) communicated the following specific to the <br /> Potable Water waiver(see letter in Appendix D): <br /> "The location of the proposed project does not facilitate water service from either <br /> the Town of Silt or the City of Rifle. The applicant proposes to purchase water for <br /> on-site use from a bulk water seller and haul to the site for storage and use. We <br /> believe that this proposed variance is acceptable, provided that adequate hand <br /> washing facilities, in addition to the mentioned water bottle filling are provided to <br /> employees during the proposed 12-hour days of operation. We would recommend <br /> that annual testing of the water in the storage facility on-site occur to ensure that <br /> water quality is maintained throughout the project. Additionally, we would <br /> recommend maintaining invoices from the bulk water purchases on-site in case an <br /> employee develops a water-borne illness, to allow for tracking of the potential <br /> water source. Garfield County Public Health supports this variance request from <br /> the Water Supply and Distribution standard, provided that hand washing stations <br /> are provided, and water quality is tracked." <br /> In response to this comment, Scott will provide adequate hand-washing facilities and water <br /> bottle filling services to its employees during the daily operations. Water purchases and water <br /> quality documentation will also be retained for the drinking water and hand-washing water <br /> services. <br /> 1.1.6.2 Wastewater Treatment Plan Standard Waiver <br /> As part of an agency coordination comment from a previous submittal, the Garfield County <br /> Public Health Department, Mr. Edward R. "Ted" White, (in a letter dated August 27, 2020, to <br /> Mr. Patrick Waller) communicated the following specific to the Onsite Wastewater Treatment <br /> Systems (OWTS)waiver(see letter in Appendix D): <br /> "...Due to the nature of the gravel extraction process and this project, we agree <br /> that the construction of a traditional OWTS is not feasible for this project. However, <br /> we do not believe that the use of portable toilets during the five-year extraction <br /> phase...is acceptable from a public health and environment perspective. The use <br /> of a "vault-and-haul" system that utilizes an above-ground holding tank could be <br /> used and moved across the site as the project progresses. We would encourage <br /> the applicant to pursue a different avenue to handle wastewater than the use of <br /> portable toilets. We do not support the granting of this variance request from the <br /> Wastewater Treatment Plan standard, as viable options exist to meet this section". <br /> In response to this comment, Scott will contract with a vault-and-haul vendor to provide <br /> wastewater (and hand-washing water) services. Scott will have a trailer outfitted with two <br /> restrooms for staff. This trailer will have one 2,000-gallon tank to capture waste from the toilet <br /> and handwashing facilities. A high-level float alarm will also be installed and notify Scott when <br /> the tank needs to be pumped. The handwashing facilities will be designed to receive potable <br /> water(treated). <br /> 1.1.6.3Industrial Facility 100-Foot Setback <br /> Scott is requesting a waiver from this standard. Rural Zone district only requires 50' front <br /> setback, 25' rear, and 10' side. Scott is requesting a uniform 25' setback to apply to the <br /> boundaries of the parcel. The Industrial Facility Setback is intended to protect neighboring <br /> land owners and the public from noise, odor, and visual impacts associated with such facilities; <br /> 1-6 <br />
