•~ Within this 4,640 acre isolated land area, the actual <br />daily working face of the sanitary landfill will be <br />less than 1 acre in size. <br />Facility Design: <br />•~ The design of Facility has been adapted to the existing <br />topographic and environmental features of the area. <br />* The topographic form of the Facility will feature <br />the same undulating slopes and knolls occurring <br />naturally in the area. <br />•• The final topographic elevation of the Facility will be <br />less than actual elevations of natural forms found <br />within the immediate vicinity. <br />Facility Environmental Safeguards: <br />* The environment surrounding the Facility will be fully <br />protected through a combination of optimum natural <br />conditions and proven engineered safeguards. <br />* The favorable natural geology found beneath the <br />Facility, including the claystone bedrock, will help <br />assure the protection of the environment. <br />•• Any natural groundwater occurring beneath the site is <br />at a depth and/or of a type that will assure its <br />protection. <br />* Initial research found that the site does not <br />overlie any Aquifer Recharge Zones as <br />identified by Weld County, or lie within any <br />groundwater basins or management districts as <br />designated by the Colorado State Engineer, <br />Water Resources Division. <br />* Further investigations, including the review <br />of available published data, indicate that <br />the only regional aquifer beneath the site is <br />the Laramie-Foxhills Acquifer. It occurs at <br />a depth of approximately 330 feet. <br />In addition to the favorable natural conditions <br />existing at the Facility, the semi-arid climate of the <br />region limits any potential for landfill liquids. <br />
