This project approves the material storage site for the <br /> Colorado Department of Transportation. <br /> RATIONALE. <br /> In considering this decision, I took into account local conditions, natural and cultural resources, <br /> human life and safety,the 2015 Approved Resource Management Plan,regulations. I specifically <br /> based my decision on the following rationale: <br /> 1. The need to establish a suitable location to store debris removed from Glenwood Canyon <br /> during landslide events that close Interstate 70. <br /> 2. This proposed site would provide a nearby location to store material during rapid responses <br /> to clear landslide debris and reopen the interstate to traffic as quickly as possible. <br /> 3. Reduce impacts to alternate routes that are not designed to handle the volume and size of <br /> vehicle traffic that uses the interstate. <br /> 4. Help meet the demand for interstate commerce and reduce the impacts of rerouted interstate <br /> traffic to local communities. <br /> 1 <br />
