ARNOLI) ti PORTC: Ii t9r. David Shelton May 8, 1981 Paye Ten Une four-wheel drive truck is allocated to the Ranyely Fire District. Compare these- so-called mitiyation measures to the realistic cost estimates projected by the State of Colorado anu the reviewer will easily determine that the "mitiga- tion proposal" falls far short of what is required. F7e hasten to add that shortages in housing and associated financing problems will be a critical issue for Ranyely anu other Colorado communities. Based on the State of Colorauo figures, and assuming a growth in popu- lation of 2,000 persons, Rio i?lanco County will need sub- stantial new housiny units. For example, by 1985 L7estern Fuels prol.oses to guarantee a total of 13U housiny units. Even using the most liberal multipliers, this guarantee will not address Western Fuels' own workers' needs let alone the inuuced population's housiny requirements. A sulid, successful housiny effort must guarantee that lU0 percent of the housiny reyuiren~ents of Deserado workers will be met when the workers arrive and that at least 80 percent of the induced population housiny needs will also be addressed. Without such mitigation, ttre housiny problem will present a massive problem to Western Fuels, the cowrty, and the affected municipalities. III. Pursuant to CRS 34-33-118(6), the Rio Blanco County Couuuissioners request an informal conference for the purpose of addressing the adverse socioeconomic im- pacts of the pruject outlined above and the need to incor- porate rnitiyatiny r,.eacures into plans for the mine in order to er)sure that it is consistent with local land use controls. Such conference need not be held in the locality of the proyused mine.
