Sorenson: <br />Augtts[ 11, 1994 <br />Summit County staff has reviewed the rcgttcst from I.fi [=ve.rict tr, allow disposal of inert matcripls at the"rr <br />Love Pit located in Summit County. Staff has the following comments and concerns: <br />- what monitoring has occurred to eslahlish a haceline for current groundwntcr quality? <br />- what is the plan and how eslensivawill groandwnter monitoring be [or this activity given the <br />close proumiry of the Blur. River? <br />- how long will tbis activity last? The longer the use the gcatcr the likelihood a toxic or <br />l+asardous contaminate carering the fill. <br />- have or will TCLP's be dcne on the more, ials l,roposect for burial to determine how long, <br />term exposuro of these materials to gtoundu~ater will impact water quality? SpeciFically, <br />heavy metals, salinity, acidity, and organics are r•f rr~aceta. <br />- we aze disappointed that the Colorado I)cpat[mcat of Health (CDOfI) will not require a <br />Certificateo[ llesignatioa 1 Cll) for this p[Dpose,l use. ~~'e believe this proposed use mirrors <br />a landfill operation especi:,lly when one considers the fact that placing 500,000 cubic yards <br />of concrete rabble or similar materials on ten nr-tes results in a fill 31 feet deep. Summit <br />County believes this size of opcratios and amount. of. material should be covered by a CD end <br />inspected on a raeularbasir to insuro rho disposnl operntion is in complianccwilh approprinle <br />regulations. <br />- what financial guarautces will be impu:ecd w wrrcct any lung term (30 years) impacts or <br />defiricncics? <br />• we bclitac moniurrtnf;oC the site aftec tiaal l,laoe+ment of [ill shou]d continue for a minimum <br />of 30 years rather than lha suggested 5 years. Again, this is to insure there are nn water <br />quality imparts from the Bll's long trrm continuous cxpnsuro to groundwater- <br />• the phrase "adequate degree of compaction" is too vague and should be replaced with a <br />quantified term to insure compGoncr. and clarity for all rnnccrncd parties. <br />The Division of Minuals & Geology (DMC) and LG Everist have s[nrted is the right direction to address <br />issues but at this time there arc too many unknown factors and uaaasaered questions. Therefore Sumn»t <br />Coualy recohtmeads that this application be tabled until: <br />1. astatfsticaltyvafldmoaitoringprogramshowingcnrteatgroundwaterquaGtyhast,eencompleted. <br />o:wQa,t <br />SUMMTI' COUNTY GOVERNMEN'T' • POST OFFICE ROX ~$ • 1317.ECKENP,IDGE, COLORADO 80424 <br />303153.2561 • 303.453-5461 FA}C <br />
