8. Inert Filling Per County Regulations - The County <br />Regulations define Inert Material as follows: <br />11-02-256 INERT MATERIAL <br />As defined in C.R.S. Section 25-15-101 (14) which <br />includes non-water soluble and non putrescible solids <br />together with such minor amounts and types of other <br />materials as will not significantly affect the inert <br />nature of such solids, as determined by Adams County. The <br />term includes, but is not limited to, earth, sand, <br />gravel, rock, concrete (which has been in a hardened <br />state for at least sixty (60) days), masonry, asphalt <br />paving fragments which are not located in the water <br />table, and other inert solids including those the <br />Colorado Department of Health may identify by regulation. <br />Street sweepings from street cleaning machines are not <br />considered inert material and are instead considered <br />solid waste. <br />The Applicant's intent is to fully comply with both <br />definitions, and has prepared an Inert Filling Plan per <br />requirements of Submittal Item H of the Conditional Use <br />Application checklist. <br />To comply with both the State and the County's standards on <br />inert filling, all material that will be placed below the <br />water table to 2' above the water will be inert clean soil <br />such as from the Denver Water Board (DWB) utility <br />excavation that will have been processed at AFS Recycle <br />Facility to remove all but negligible amounts of asphalt or <br />concrete. After this inert clean fill reaches 2' above the <br />water table, a mixture of crusher fines and inert clean <br />soils will be used as fill material. A copy of a letter <br />from the DWB on the characteristics of the material <br />imported into AFS Recycle Facility, and a letter from CDPHE <br />on the appropriateness of utilizing the compacted mixture <br />of the DWB soils and the crusher fines as inert fill are <br />also included as pages 11, 12, and 13 of this Explanation. <br />9
