Health Department
Please accept the following comments from El Paso County Public Health regarding the project referenced above:
· The 12.3 acre site with 35 residential lots planned for the development will be provided water by Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District. There is a finding for water quality sufficiency from this Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regulated and approved district.
· Wastewater service will be provided by Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District. Per the May 8, 2017, letter from Kiowa Engineering Corporation, and the May 18, 2017, letter from Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District there is adequate capacity for wastewater treatment for this project.
· Radon resistant construction building techniques/practices are encouraged to be used in this area. The EPA has determined that Colorado, and the El Paso County area, have potentially higher radon levels than other areas of the country.
· The detention pond planned for Tract H must have mosquito control responsibilities included as a part of the maintenance agreement in an effort to control West Nile Virus.
· Earthmoving activities greater than 25 acres require a Construction Activity Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Air Pollution Control Division. Go to the El Paso County Public Health site http://www.elpasocountyhealth.org/service/air- quality for the link to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Air Pollution Control Division, for the permit application.
· El Paso County Public Health encourages planned walk-ability of residential communities. Please consider appropriate connections to commercial areas through the use of sidewalks, and bike trails. Walk- ability features help reduce obesity and associated heart diseases.

COLORADO DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES
We have received the above-referenced proposal to create a subdivision in El Paso County. According to the materials, it appears the development consists of 35 single family lots and 8 tracts on 12.317 +/- acres. The proposed source of water supply and wastewater disposal is to be served by the Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District (“District”).
Water Supply Demand
The Water Supply Information Summary, Form No. GWS-76, provided with the submittal estimates a demand of 20.58 acre-feet/year for 35 single family lots, which equates to an anticipated demand of 0.588 acre-feet/year per single family lot. The proposal does not clearly define the amount of lawn and garden irrigation anticipated for each lot. The anticipated daily water demand for the subdivision equates to 18,375 gallons per day.
Please note that standard water use rates, as found in the Guide to Colorado Well Permits, Water Rights, and Water Administration, are 0.3 acre-foot/year for each ordinary household, 0.05 acre-foot/year for four large domestic animals, and 0.05 acre-foot/year for each 1,000 square feet of lawn and garden irrigation.
Source of Water Supply
The proposed water supplier is Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District (“District”), and May 18, 2017 letter of commitment from the District was included with the submittal. According to the letter, “The Beach properties total 12.38 acres which the District is committed to providing water and sewer service with its standard policy allocation totaling 6.19 AF annually and additionally has committed to serving Agreement properties (collectively) with up to 86.21 of
Supplemental Water Service. With the completion of the Dunes at Woodmoor, there remains
71.89 AF/yr of supplemental water service that can be allocated (wholly or partially) toward the remaining Agreement properties, including the Beach. Resultantly, the District’s total water service commitment at this time for the Beach is up to 78.08 AF/Yr (i.e. 71.89 AF + 6.19 AF0)”.
According to the December 2012 Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District Long Range Plan (LRP), on file with this office, the District utilizes two water supply sources. The first supply of water comes from the Denver Basin Aquifers, which the District can pump up to 6,322.4 acre- feet per year (based on a 100 year aquifer life), or 2,107.47 acre-feet per year (based on a 300 year aquifer life). The second supply of water comes from diversions on Monument Creek and Dead Woman Creek that occur via an exchange of treated wastewater effluent for surface water, which supplied an average of 365 acre-feet per year over the period 2007-2011 (an annually renewable supply with no administrative lifespan). Combined, the Denver Basin water rights (based on a 300 year aquifer life) and surface water exchanges (annually renewable with no administrative life span) exceed the average annual water demand of 2,148 acre-feet estimated for current build-out.
State Engineer’s Office Opinion
According to this office’s records, it appears the District has sufficient water resources to serve the proposed development. Based upon the above and pursuant to Section 30-28- 136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., it is the opinion of this office that the proposed water supply is adequate and can be provided without causing injury to decreed water rights. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Caleb Foy, P.E.

RE: The Beach at Woodmoor PUD/Preliminary Plan (PUDSP-17-003)
Residential Subdivision Planning Documents {6 sheets) REVIEW I
The Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District No. I (the District) has received plans and documents related to the development applications referenced above. The District has the following concerns and/or recommendations:
General Comments
1. This review is a general overview of the Preliminary Drawing. This review does not encompass technical aspects of design for the proposed water and sewer systems within the development such as minimum curve radii, maximum deflection requirements, slopes, etc. A digital .pdf file of WWSD System Specifications can be obtained from the District Engineer at joeys@woodmoorwater. com.
Utility System Plan
1. The curvilinear sanitary sewer line from Captiva Beach Lane across Lot 35 violates the District's system specifications because it is non-tangential. As possible, the District avoids curvilinear sewer lines and an easement twice as wide as the main is deep would be required around the proposed route. Please note the alternative route the District proposes, in accordance with our system requirements, between Lot 33 and 34 with easement (not to scale) for the District depicted on the attached marked drawing.
2. There are no fire hydrants shown south of Lake Woodmoor Drive along Captiva Beach Lane. Please consult the applicable fire department with jurisdiction over this development regarding spacing and location of fire hydrants and add hydrant locations to plan.
3. The District requires a minimum of 6 feet of cover for all mains measured from the finished grade to the top of the main. Please confirm the grading plan for Tract H maintains this minimum cover requirement for the existing sewer main in this proposed lot.
4. The District is concerned about adding a fourth connection from the northwest to the manhole in Lake Woodmoor Drive. Please terminate proposed Coronado Beach Drive sanitary sewer main on north side of Lake Woodmoor Drive. Reference the attached marked drawing.
5. 5. Manholes are required at minimum every 500 linear feet for sewer mains per the District's system specifications. Please ensure this requirement is met along Coronado Beach Drive.
6. 6. Riprock (End FES) at STA 10+00 North of Tract H interferes with the existing sanitary sewer manhole risking storm water infiltration to the District's sewer infrastructure.Developer' s engineer will need to evaluate relocating riprock or relocation of existing sanitary sewer manhole.
Final Plat Drawings (24" x 36")
1. As shown on the Utility System Plan, Tract H encroaches upon the District's Parcel #14100015 . Use of District property required Board approval. Please revise plans or obtain Board approval prior to plan approval.
2. Please clarify the boundaries of Parcels A & B.
If you should have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Joseph Seed
District Engineer
