Fee increases will pay for highway projects Polis signs transportation bill that adds to costs of gasoline, rideshares BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
FLOYD HILL — Shaded by an Interstate 70 bridge that has fueled steering-wheel-pounding rage for generations, Gov. Jared Polis on June 17 signed a transportation fee and spending bill that seeks to inject more than $5 billion into Colorado road and transit projects over the next 11 years. “Everybody knows we need to fix it,” Polis said of Colorado’s road and highway system before signing Senate Bill 260 under the curved I-70 bridge at the bottom of Floyd Hill, a structure over Clear Creek that chokes traffic and ruins the best-laid plans of skiers, snowboarders, hikers and bikers every weekend. “If it was easy it would have been done already.” Colorado lawmakers have been

trying to solve the problem of the state’s limited transportation funding for years, proposing tax hikes and bonding and committing more existing money from the state budget to the problem. But the efforts to find money in the couch cushions to supplement a 22-cent gasoline tax that hasn’t increased since 1992 have either not been successful or not been sufficient to tackle the breadth of the issue. Senate Bill 260 was Democrats’
solution to the funding gridlock, allowing them to raise money without voter approval. Fees under the measure begin next year. They include: • 2 cents per gallon on gasoline and diesel fuel starting in July 2022 that increases 1 cent every year up to 8 cents • 27 cents on deliveries, including those from Amazon, FedEx and Grubhub • 30 cents on Uber and Lyft rides
starting in 2022 that would increase based on the federal Consumer Price Index. The fee would be cut in half for people carpooling in a rideshare, or riding in an electric vehicle. In addition to the funding mechanisms in the measure, there are also requirements that the Colorado Department of Transportation take greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals into account when planning future projects. State officials also must consider the impact of transportation work on communities where low-income people, minorities or housing-cost-burdened families make up 40% of the population under the new law. Finally, the bill emphasizes — and spends money on — an electric-vehicle future, as well as mass transit, including a potential Front Range passenger rail system.

Colorado Spaceport teams up for spaceplane New Zealand maker inks deal for Colorado-based horizontal take-off spaceplane BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A New Zealand aerospace company is joining the race to create a horizontal take-off and landing spaceplane that will fly from Colorado above the earth’s atmosphere and fly back down before landing on a runway. The Colorado Air and Spaceport signed a memorandum of understanding June 15 with Dawn Aerospace from Christchurch, New Zealand.
James Powell co-founder of Dawn Aerospace and who works in New Zealand, joined Adams County Manager Raymond Gonzales remotely via Zoom to sign copies of the agreement. The copies had been signed ahead of time The new agreement will create a working relationship bewteen Dawn and the Spaceport as well as an agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct test flights and spaceplane launches from the Spaceporti in Watkins, just southeast of Denver International Airport. Gonzalez praised the agreement. “It truly has been a collaborative effort, and we’ve enjoyed getting to know this innovative company, their products, and people,” Gonzalez said. “It’s not only a partnership between Colorado Air and Spaceport and Dawn Aerospace, we have the

full support of the Colorado Space Coalition and the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade. “We look forward to furthering our place in the aerospace industry,” he added. “Partnering with extraordinary companies like Dawn Aerospace, their type of technology launching horizontally using a typical airport runway that will open up many options and opportunities at Colorado Air and Spaceport. We are completely on board with this partnership. And we are excited to see what the future holds.” Powell said it’s a game-changing agreement for his company and for the entire industry. “This represents a really important step for our company and expanding our capability globally and leveraging the flight heritage and the developments that we’ve

Bringing this to a global market is important for us. We think it’s an important strategic difference in doing that we can to expand this and bring this to a global audience.” Milestones of spaceport Adams County began its pursuit for a spaceport site operator license through the FAA office of commercial space in 2011 and received an operator license in August 2018.

people and quickly befriended everyone he met. Pshhhh...he was the life of the party! Racing to the finish line a little earlier than anticipated, #78 - Daytona Dana - will no doubt race around heaven leaving rubber on the shiny white pearl roads as he takes the turns as fast as he can “around the outside”. The air may be a little thinner there, but that won’t stop him from tuning his carb and outrunning the best of the best. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Crocker Residence, 14121 Country Hills Drive, Brighton, CO on Sunday, July 18th, 2021 at 11:00 a.m.

The can and cannot of hate crimes Residents, police discuss problems, limits at Northglenn forum BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Community members who have been victims of hate crimes said they want to see more enforcement, while law enforcement professionals said they are limited in what they can do. That was the tension at a forum about hate crimes that the city of Northglenn and the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s office hosted June 10. “This guy has been harassing myself and the Muslim community for over seven years. And you’re telling me there is nothing we can do about it,” said Ihsan Riahi, a panelist at the forum Masjid Ikhlas in Northglenn.
Riahi and his fellow panelist Gerald Montour, founding assistant principal of the American Indian Academy of Denver, talked about their experiences with other audience members. Meanwhile, 17th Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason, Northglenn Police Chief Jim May and FBI agent Kristen Varel reviewed laws related to hate crimes. Both sides were cordial, though there were differences between what one side wanted and what the other side felt like it’s able to provide. In one instance, Riahi said he wants to see law enforcement officials intervene more to stop a man who has protested Masjid Ikhlas, sent a letter to the mosque asking for money and is now suing Riahi. Meanwhile, Montour said there have been instances in which someone harassed him, and he feels that law enforcement didn’t properly follow up.
“Today’s white privilege is evident. It’s evident in our school systems, it’s evident in our judicial systems, it’s evident in our city government and it’s evident in our neighborhoods,” Montour said. May, Mason and Varel all reiterated at the forum they were committed to addressing hate crimes. After telling the audience what constitutes a hate crime, they encouraged residents to report them when they occur. Mason outlined the statutes he can use to prosecute a bias-motivated crime but said it’s not easy to win those cases. State law requires prosecutors, like Mason, to convince the jury that someone committing a hate crime did so with hateful intent. Though that’s always been a high bar to meet, a new law the Colorado Legislature passed this session changed that. Colorado Senate Bill 280 altered the language of the state law to say that
someone is guilty of a hate crime if that person “intended to harass or threaten in whole or in part,” Mason explained. “Before, we could lose a biasmotivated case because a jury didn’t believe that throughout the commission of the crime, a person was doing with it with intent or a bias-motivated mindset,” Mason said. “This law candidly makes it easier for me to charge and prove hate crimes.” Still, Mason said it’s hard to secure guilty verdicts for hate crimes and “law enforcement and laws can’t fix everything in society,” he said. The forum didn’t finish with everyone agreeing on everything, besides the belief that hate crimes are addressed when the entire community steps up to address the issue. Montour asked the audience, “How do we as community members change this? How do you become a change agent?”
Irreza sentenced for attempted murder of AdCo deputy STAFF REPORTS
Cesar Irreza, who pled guilty in April to attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference charges in connection with an incident involving an Adams County sheriff’s deputy. will spend 20 years in prison. The announcement came from 17th Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason’s office. Irreza, 30, also entered a guilty plea to vehicular eluding. The incident happened near East
148th Avenue and Lanewood Street, east of Brighton, in early April 2020. A press statement from spokesman Chris Hopper said deputies were investigating a possible home-invasion situation. Irreza, who was driving a white Cadillac, left the area and led deputies on a high-speed chase. The statement said speeds were more than 100 mph. “When Irreza reached the intersection of Tower Road and East 120th Avenue, in Commerce City, he drove
into a Jeep Renegade,” Hopper’s statement said. “Irreza continued forward and struck an Adams County sheriff’s deputy who was standing in the shoulder with stop sticks. The injured deputy said to his colleagues on scene, ‘I’ve never been so close to being killed.’” Deputies eventually stopped Irreza and took him into custody. The defendant was not a suspect in the original home invasion call, Hopper said, but Irreza did have an active warrant for
his arrest stemming from his felony parole. “The brazen and dangerous conduct of this defendant nearly cost an Adams County sheriff’s deputy his life,” Mason said in the statement. “I am pleased that justice was served in this case and that the defendant will not present a danger to the community for the foreseeable future.” The two sentences will run concurrently.

Have opinions on what the state’s political maps should look like after they get reconfigured this year? Colorado’s redistricting commissions will be touring the state in July and August, looking for your input on the congressional and legislative maps they’re redrawing. Starting on July 9, the commissions will hold public meetings where anyone is welcome to tell the commission how they think the map should be shaped. Both the legislative and congressional redistricting commissions will have preliminary draft map plans by the time the statewide tour begins, which will give the commissioners and the public a starting point to consider when they provide input.
The last public hearing will be Aug. 28. By then the commissions expect to have the crucial decennial census data that they will have to use to make adjustment to the preliminary map plans and create final maps. The decennial census data was months delayed this year because of the global coronavirus pandemic. The commissions are using estimate and survey data to draw the preliminary maps, with the understanding that the more precise decennial census data will require adjustments. The data, combined with the public input the commissions receive over the coming months, will lead each commission to draw the final map and submit them to the Colorado Supreme Court for final review and sign-off by November.

SPACEPLANE FROM PAGE 5
Jim Siedlecki said, “With such a robust aerospace industry in Colorado there was immediate interest from potential partners domestically and across the globe.” Colorado Air and Spaceport already established a relationship with PD Aerospace from Japan. It’s building a reusable horizontal take-off and landing passenger spaceplane that will fly above the earth’s atmosphere sitting in zero gravity for up to 10 minutes and, as the earth rotates, will fly back down landing in Paris within 60 to 90 minutes. That project’s potential completion is in 2024. Reaction Engines from the United Kingdom is on site at Colorado Air and Spaceport developing a hybrid rocket engine and a hybrid or a proprietary spaceplane. They are also are conducting breakthrough testing on its thermal management system on the east side of the spaceport. An addition to spaceport is New Frontier Aerospace Co., developing a hypersonic space aircraft that will have the capability to deliver important packages quickly around the earth within the atmosphere. “New Frontier is specifically working on rocket engine testing and controllability testing for its vehicle. So, we’re very excited to have them on board as well,” said Dave Ruppel, director of Colorado Air, and Spaceport. Colorado Air and Spaceport is one of the 12 FAA-licensed commercial spaceports in the United States. Of the 12, eight are horizontal launchonly facilities, and six are dual-use facilities, such as the Colorado Spaceport. The dual-use facilities are active commercial airports that have compatible spaceport operating runways. “I think Colorado is a unique place because as the No. 2 aerospace economy in the country, we have a tremendous part of the industry here. There are lots of aerospace-type jobs. We’ve got nine of the prime aerospace companies that have major operations here in the state of Colorado said, “ Ruppel said. “We have state support

from the governor’s office, the Federal delegations, the state delegations, the economic development organizations, and local municipalities, not just supporting the aerospace industry, but also support for the Colorado Air and Spaceport,” he added. Spaceport plans Colorado and Air and Spaceport has plenty of room to grow, with a roughly 7,000-acre business park development and heavy rail surface park development to the south. Another 700 acres to the east have the potential operations to support companies that are interested in sites for their businesses. The main facility has FAA-licensed horizontal launch site capability with two, 1,000-feet runways. They have several hangars and an air traffic control tower with approach capabilities to support both aviation and aerospace capabilities. “We’ve completed an airport master plan and just completed the spaceport master plan so that we can look at the infrastructure developments that are needed, both for space uses and the aviation uses to make sure that we dovetail those together very carefully,” said Ruppel. “Adams County is completing a sub-area plan to make sure that we have compatible types

Dawn Aerospace plans Dawn Aerospace is a space transportation company and built a satellite propulsion system that is two years old and is currently in orbit. “It allowed us to mature rapidly as a company, both in the technical domain and the commercial domain. And it empowers us as we move on into the launch capabilities, and make sure that we’ve got all of the business systems in place to do this robustly,” said Powell. “From the satellite propulsion, the next stage is the suborbital system, and to the Aurora spaceplane. “It is like commercial flight; it’s accessible, it’s available, it’s very cost-effective and it the goal we are working towards.” The Aurora Spaceplanes will also be

built as a reusable horizontal vehicle that will take off into sub-orbital or orbital space and fly back down landing at a runway to refuel and continue to fly multiple times per day. The first model, the Aurora Mach 2, a sub-orbital system, will be the size of a car and will land to pick up payloads and equipment. The Mach 3 orbital system will be the size of a small business jet and pick up larger payloads, such as large satellites. There are no plans yet to build a passenger spaceplane for travel. Dawn Aerospace does not have a solid plan yet as to when it will make a presence in Colorado. There are bureaucratic processes to complete, such as licenses, Powell said. “It’s not an overnight process. So, unfortunately, it’s not going to be a next week or next month. This is a very important first step for us and we’re excited,” said Powell.

Bag fees on horizon as bill goes to Polis Polystyrene foam would be banned for use as restaurant containers BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado lawmakers on June 8 sent Gov. Jared Polis House Bill 1162, which would establish a fee for single-use products, like plastic and paper grocery bags, and let retailers keep some of the proceeds. The bill would also ban the use of polystyrene-foam containers by restaurants starting in 2024. The measure has long been a priority of Democrats, but it has taken years to get the policy to the point where it had enough votes to clear the legislature, despite ongoing business opposition. The measure would ban single-use plastic bags in Colorado starting in 2024 — but there are asterisks. Restaurants that prepare or serve food in individual portions for immediate on- or off-premises consumption would be exempt, as would stores that operate solely in Colorado and have three or fewer locations. Businesses that are still allowed to offer plastic bags must collect a fee
of at least 10 cents on each bag. The fee may be higher if a city or county enacts a higher charge. (More on that later.) “We’re hoping that they also make the culture-change decision,” said Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. Businesses that are prohibited from offering plastic bags may distribute them, with fees, between January and July 2024 if they were in their inventory before the start of that year. Starting on Jan. 1, 2023, all businesses would be required to impose at least a 10-cent fee on plastic and paper bags. The fee may be higher if a city or county enacts a higher charge. People who are in federal or state food assistance programs wouldn’t have to pay the fees as long as they can prove that they are enrolled in one of those initiatives. Businesses would be required to send 60% of the bag-fee revenue they collect to the municipality they operate in. If the business is within an unincorporated part of a county, the money would be sent to the county. Local governments would be required to spend the money on bag-fee enforcement costs and on waste-diversion programs, such as outreach and education.

The remaining 40% of the bag-fee revenue would be kept by businesses but not subject to sales taxes. Stores that collect less than $20 in bag fees in a given quarter don’t have to remit the revenue to their municipality or county and can keep the money. Under the bill, businesses would be forced to “conspicuously display” a sign inside or outside of their stores alerting customers to the bag fee. The charge would also be listed on patrons’ receipts. The fee cannot be refunded. It’s not just plastic bags that law-
makers are aiming to do away with. The bill would also ban polystyrenefoam products across the state starting on Jan. 1, 2024. The only exception is that restaurants would be able to continue using polystyrene-foam products for takeout after that date until their inventory is gone. Municipalities and cities would be able to sue businesses that don’t comply with the new bag-fee and polystyrene-foam rules. They also may assess fines of $500 for a second violation and $1,000 for a third or subsequent violation. The fines would be assessed per violation during a retail sale. In other words, if a business illegally handed out 10 plastic bags during one transaction, they would only be considered to have violated the law once. The measure also repeals a restriction on local governments, barring them from introducing restrictions on plastic materials that are more stringent than the state’s.

Legislative changes dilute hunt for bias in state tests Measure to create audit system undergoes changes, has passed Colorado Senate BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT
A bill ordering a wide-ranging performance audit of Colorado’s school accountability system has passed the state Senate after skeptics amended the bill to focus more on narrowing persistent gaps in test scores and less on determining if the tests are biased. The amendment was one of several changes the bill has undergone to rein in an audit some feared would be too slanted against the accountability system Colorado has used to monitor schools since 2009. “Where this bill started was an attack on assessments, and where it is now is looking at changing our accountability system so that it’s working for our kids,” said state Sen. Jeff Bridges of Greenwood Village, who brought the amendment on the Senate floor June 3 with support from state Sen. Janet Buckner of Aurora. House Bill 1294 orders an independent third-party review of Colorado’s school accountability system, which rates schools based on standardized test scores and allows for outside intervention in schools that don’t improve. The audit would ask whether the system meets the goals laid out by legislators, improves student outcomes, hurts certain
student groups, and influences teaching practices in negative ways, among other questions. The audit would be due in November 2022. The bill is a top priority for the Colorado Association of School Executives, which represents superintendents and other administrators. Many of them feel the current system judges schools unfairly and doesn’t provide the type of information that actually drives improvement. Teachers and community groups also support the bill because they worry the system currently penalizes schools serving low-income children of color and overemphasizes test scores at the cost of a rich academic experience. But some Democrats on the Senate Education Committee feared the original audit bill set up a foregone conclusion: that state assessments themselves are biased. The bill rests on a fault line among Democrats who control the state Legislature. The party once championed education reform, including using standardized tests to measure the performance of districts, schools, and teachers. Now the party is divided, with some who once supported these policies questioning whether they’ve been effective. When the bill was first heard in the House Education Committee, representatives of education advocacy groups like Democrats for Education Reform and the Colorado Children’s Campaign said they had concerns that the bill didn’t ask the right questions and would lead to faulty conclusions. Those groups dropped their opposition after the wording of one of
the questions was changed in the House. Instead of asking the auditor to examine whether aspects of the accountability system “maintain institutional or cultural biases,” the bill now asks the auditor to consider whether “unintended barriers or obstacles” affect the performance of students from different groups. The change shifted the focus from bias in the accountability system to the myriad challenges students face in and out of the classroom. The change also garnered Gov. Jared Polis’ support — but not that of all Senate Democrats. It took a week to hammer out an amendment that addresses those concerns while maintaining the support of bill sponsor state Sen. Robert Rodriguez of Denver. Most Republicans remained opposed to the bill, though they said the amendment improves it. The House still needs to approve the Senate amendment before the bill goes to the governor. The Senate amendment doesn’t change the questions the independent auditor would consider. Instead, it changes the legislative declaration, a statement of intent that sets the direction of the audit. The change to the legislative declaration describes Colorado’s test score gaps. In the 2018-19 school year, the most recent for which test data is available, roughly 30% of Black and Latino students performed at grade level in literacy, compared with 45% of all students. In math, 13% of Black and Latino students performed at grade level, compared with 35% of all students. Similar gaps exist across the nation. Experts disagree on how much
those differences are caused by the quality of education in schools serving low-income students of color, the effects of poverty and racism outside the classroom, and bias embedded in the tests. The amendment goes on to note that there are schools and districts where low-income students of color buck these trends and post high test scores. It also calls out the opportunity gaps that shape academic performance: lack of access to preschool and advanced coursework, inadequate wraparound services, less experienced teachers, and harsher discipline. Bridges said the audit may find that the accountability system doesn’t do enough to address the most important factors in student achievement or even that the system makes things worse. The system may need to change, Bridges said, but he doesn’t want the auditor to see test score gaps and conclude that the assessments are the problem. “We know we have a long way to go to get our kids where they need to be,” Buckner said in support of the amendment. “I admire the fact that we are able to have these conversations. They are not the easiest conversations to have because we disagree about what we should be doing for our kids, especially for our kids of color.” This story is from Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

Stack rides strong season to volleyball-less future an ‘A-minus’,” Stack said. “The season has gone well, but I have areas that I can improve on. I have played on a few club teams before and have experience, which has helped me be a team leader, teacher and mentor to the new players. I also contribute my success to the hard work of my teammates and the confidence my coaches have in me.” Stack’s interest in volleyball started when he was a youngster. “I have always been around volleyball because my parents have always played. But I was an individual sports kid, competing in archery, bowling, and shooting,” Stack said. “When I was around 11 years old, my parents took me with them to an open gym at the church, and I ended up getting to play and realized that this was way more fun than I thought it would be.” That led to some volleyball camps and some at-home instruction from his parents. “We would play in sand and outdoor leagues until my freshman year, and then I began playing club ball which took it to the next level,” Stack said. Fort Lupton didn’t field a large team this year. “I think what has surprised me the most is the fact that while other teams have anywhere from eight to 12 players, Fort Lupton has had

There seem to be two ingredients in play for the success of Fort Lupton’s boy’s volleyball program this spring. Senior Jayden Stack lives in Brighton but commutes to practice and matches for the Bluedevils. Brighton High School doesn’t field a boys volleyball team. In such cases, state rules allow for athletes to play for another school outside their district. Stack knows what the keys to FLHS’ success are. “As a team, we have the drive and motivation to be successful and have fun,” he said. “Another reason that we are having a good season is the bond we have as a team on and off the court. We are not only teammates, but we are also friends. For many of us, it is our senior year. To finish off high school with a good volleyball season makes it that much better.” The Bluedevils advanced to the state tournament play-in round for the first time in program history. Eaglecrest won the June 18 match in straight sets. No stats were available. Stack played a big part. Through 41 sets, Stack had 164 kills and a kill percentage of 39 percent in 421 tries. He also averaged about an ace per set and totaled 23 blocks. “I would give my personal season

BHS swimmers claim two league titles
FROM PAGE 9
only six players for most of the season, and we are performing so well with little or no experience compared to some of our competitors,” Stack said. “This season has been special. When last season was cut short because of COVID, it was really hard to have something I love to stop so abruptly. I am thankful for this year, even if we have had to play with some restrictions.” Eric Hearon, another one of the Bluedevils’ seniors, averaged about one kill per game and had a kill percentage of 25 percent in 85 attempts. Desmond Tijerina had 41 kills in as many sets and had seven blocks. Stack would like to continue playing in college. He’s had some offers and some inquiries. “But I will not be playing,” Stack said. “The reason I am not playing is I have chosen the path to become a firefighter, and none of the schools have any studies related to that. I will continue to play in leagues and also continue to help coach. But as far as college, I am concentrating on my future as a firefighter.” “Jayden is an outstanding player and young man,” said FLHS coach Cindy Seiler. “We have five seniors and two freshmen on our team. Several times, we have played with just six players. I’m super proud of the team of how they are on and off the court.” “I would like to thank my coaches and teammates, past and present for always pushing me to be better, but most of all thank you to my parents who always believe in me and support me in all I do,” Stack said.

PUBLIC NOTICES
Public Notices call Bobi 303.659.2522 Legals City and County LOCHBUIE TOWN OF 2021 Drinking Water Quality Report Covering Data for Calendar Year 2020 Public Water System ID: CO0162486 Esta es información importante. Si no la pueden leer, necesitan que alguien se la traduzca. We are pleased to present to you this year’s water quality report. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Please contact STEVE STAMEY at 303-655-9308 with any questions or for public participation opportunities that may affect water quality. General Information All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or by visiting epa.gov/groundwater-and-drinking-water. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and microbiological contaminants call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (1-800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: •Microbial contaminants: viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. •Inorganic contaminants: salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. •Pesticides and herbicides: may come from a variety of sources, such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. •Radioactive contaminants: can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. •Organic chemical contaminants: including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment prescribes regulations limiting the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. Lead in Drinking Water If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems (especially for pregnant women and young children). It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Additional information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at epa.gov/safewater/lead. Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment may have provided us with a Source Water Assessment Report for our water supply. For general information or to obtain a copy of the report please visit wqcdcompliance.com/ccr. The report is located under “Guidance: Source Water Assessment Reports”. Search the table using 162486, LOCHBUIE TOWN OF, or by contacting STEVE STAMEY at 303-655-9308. The Source Water Assessment Report provides a screening-level evaluation of potential contamination that could occur. It does not mean that the contamination has or will occur. We can use this information to evaluate the need to improve our current water treatment capabilities and prepare for future contamination threats. This can help us ensure that quality finished water is delivered to your homes. In addition, the source water assessment results provide a starting point for developing a source water protection plan. Potential sources of contamination in our source water area are listed
on the next page. Please contact us to learn more about what you can do to help protect your drinking water sources, any questions about the Drinking Water Quality Report, to learn more about our system, or to attend scheduled public meetings. We want you, our valued customers, to be informed about the services we provide and the quality water we deliver to you every day. Our Water Sources Sources (Water Type Source Type) WELL NO 1 (Groundwater-Well) WELL NO 2 (Groundwater-Well) Potential Source(s) of Contamination Commercial/Industrial/Transportation, Low Intensity Residential, Urban Recreational Grasses, Row Crops, Fallow, Small Grains, Pasture / Hay, Septic Systems, Oil / Gas Wells, Road Miles Terms and Abbreviations • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) − The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. • Treatment Technique (TT) − A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Health-Based − A violation of either a MCL or TT. • Non-Health-Based − A violation that is not a MCL or TT. • Action Level (AL) − The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment and other regulatory requirements. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) − The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) − The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) − The level of a drinking water disinfectant, below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • Violation (No Abbreviation) − Failure to meet a Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulation. • Formal Enforcement Action (No Abbreviation) − Escalated action taken by the State (due to the risk to public health, or number or severity of violations) to bring a non-compliant water system back into compliance. • Variance and Exemptions (V/E) − Department permission not to meet a MCL or treatment technique under certain conditions. • Gross Alpha (No Abbreviation) − Gross alpha particle activity compliance value. It includes radium-226, but excludes radon 222, and uranium. • Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) − Measure of the radioactivity in water. • Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) − Measure of the clarity or cloudiness of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the typical person. • Compliance Value (No Abbreviation) – Single or calculated value used to determine if regulatory contaminant level (e.g. MCL) is met. Examples of calculated values are the 90th Percentile, Running Annual Average (RAA) and Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA). • Average (x-bar) − Typical value. • Range (R) − Lowest value to the highest value. • Sample Size (n) − Number or count of values (i.e. number of water samples collected). • Parts per million = Milligrams per liter (ppm = mg/L) − One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. • Parts per billion = Micrograms per liter (ppb = ug/L) − One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. • Not Applicable (N/A) – Does not apply or not available. • Level 1 Assessment – A study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system. • Level 2 Assessment – A very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions. Detected Contaminants LOCHBUIE TOWN OF routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table(s) show all detections found in the period of January 1 to December 31, 2020 unless otherwise noted. The State of Colorado requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. Therefore, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. Violations and Formal Enforcement Actions, if any, are reported in the next section of this report. Note: Only detected contaminants sampled within the last 5 years appear in this report. If no tables appear in this section then no contaminants were detected in the last round of monitoring. Disinfectants Sampled in the Distribution System TT Requirement: At least 95% of samples per period (month or quarter) must be at least 0.2 ppm OR If sample size is less than 40 no more than 1 sample is below 0.2 ppm Typical Sources: Water additive used to control microbes Disinfectant Name Chlorine Time Period December, 2020 Results Lowest period percentage of samples
