EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A.Resolution 2021-103 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and The Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado Related to Restrictive Notice Reporting Requirements. B.First Reading of Ordinance No. 159, 2021 Authorizing Conveyance of Notices of Environmental Use Restrictions to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area in Connection with Remediation of Groundwater Contamination from the Larimer County Landfill. The purpose of this item is to authorize conveyance of two Restrictive Notices to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”): one applicable to parcels located in Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area (“CFP Natural Area”) owned solely by Fort Collins (the “Fort Collins Restrictive Notice”) and one applicable to parcels located in CFP Natural Area owned jointly by Fort Collins and Larimer County (the “Joint Restrictive Notice”). The parcels are located near the Larimer County Landfill and are impacted by contaminated groundwater emanating from the Landfill. The Restrictive Notices are requested by Larimer County in connection with its remediation of the Landfill environmental contamination. They prohibit certain activities and uses that could create exposure to contaminants from groundwater and are intended to protect public health while permitting CDPHE to apply less stringent cleanup standards for two (but not all) contaminants of concern, likely reducing the cost of the remediation. While the Restrictive Notices will limit uses and activities on portions of CFP Natural Area, such restrictions will only encumber a relatively small portion of CFP Natural Area. Further, the Natural Areas Department has determined that the restrictions will not significantly impact the use, operation, and management of the CFP Natural Area. The Restrictive Notices require annual compliance reporting to CDPHE. Because Larimer County has requested the Restrictive Notices and will be on the Fort Collins Parcels (as well as the other parcels), conducting testing and remediation activities, the Resolution approves an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with Larimer County under which Larimer County agrees to certify to Fort Collins that the County has complied with the Restrictive Notice while on the Fort Collins Parcels, will be responsible for any non-compliance and will pay any applicable fees imposed by CDPHE in connection with the annual compliance reporting requirements. ATTACHMENT 1 COPY Agenda Item 16 Item # 16 Page 2 Important Note: Larimer County, in cooperation with CDPHE, has posted the Restrictive Notices for a 30-day public comment period. CDPHE will review any public comment received and may request changes to the Restrictive Notices based on that comment. Any such changes will be presented to Council at second reading. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The City owns, independently and jointly with Larimer County (the “County”) multiple parcels of land in Southwest Fort Collins known as Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area (the “Natural Area”). The Natural Area is managed by the City under an existing Intergovernmental Agreement with the County. The Larimer County Landfill sits to the south and west of the Natural Area and west of Taft Hill Road. Resolution 2020-119 approved an Intergovernmental Agreement Among Larimer County, the City of Fort Collins, and the City of Loveland Related to Corrective Measures at the Larimer County Landfill (the “Remediation IGA”). The Remediation IGA assigns responsibilities for the remediation of environmental contamination at and from the Larimer County Landfill to Larimer County and allocates financial commitments of the three parties (who are joint owners of the Landfill site). The standards for such remediation are set by CDPHE. Larimer County has asked the City and CDPHE to adopt two Restrictive Notices on portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area to minimize remediation costs while still maintaining a CDPHE approved level of cleanup determined by CDPHE to be protective of public health. Two Restrictive Notices (RNs) are needed on parcels owned or jointly owned by the City in the Natural Area, One Restrictive Notice is for parcels solely owned by the City (the Fort Collins Restrictive Notice) and the other is for the parcels jointly owned by the City and County (the Joint Restrictive Notice). Other than property ownership (and therefore, responsibility for annual certification), the RNs are the same. The County will also convey a Restrictive Notice for a parcel that it owns independently. The Restrictive Notices will encumber 15% of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area or 171.5 acres of 1,154 acres (Attachment 1). The unencumbered portions of the Natural Area will remain unaffected by the Landfill cleanup. CDPHE requires groundwater remediation to meet Regulation 41 ambient groundwater quality standards. Regulation 41 has two levels of cleanup – the first number is a strictly health-based number and typically drives remediation goals for ambient groundwater quality in Colorado. The second number is less stringent and is based on the federal Safe Drinking Water Act maximum contaminant level determined acceptable for public water supplies considering limitations to treatability and laboratory detection. In Colorado, setting the protection level at the less stringent water quality standard can be imposed by CDPHE if access to the groundwater is restricted (e.g., not used for public water supply). Cleanup to a more stringent water quality standard is typically more expensive. Staff concurs with the CDPHE’s determination that with the Restrictive Notices, the proposed groundwater remediation standards protect public health. In addition, Natural Areas never expects the groundwater on the Natural Area to be used for consumptive purposes and CDPHE’s determination is consistent with the framework set forth in the Remediation IGA. Finally, the Restrictive Notices do not significantly impact operations of the Natural Area. The Natural Areas Department will continue to manage Cathy Fromme Prairie unencumbered by the Restrictive Notices with three primary modifications: COPY Agenda Item 16 Item # 16 Page 3 1. If it is determined that a vault restroom is needed within the Restrictive Notice, CDPHE approval would be required, and vapor mitigation may be necessary; 2. Activities that may or do expose groundwater will require notification to CDPHE and must be carried out in accordance with a management plan; and 3. Yearly compliance reporting to CDPHE is required. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The Remediation IGA requires allocating remediation costs among the City, Larimer County, and the City of Loveland as follows: 1. The County will pay the first $3 million 2. Additional amounts will be divided as follows:  County – 60%  City of Fort Collins – 30%  City of Loveland – 10% Although the full scope of how the Restrictive Notices will impact the cost of the remediation is unknown at this time, they will permit a less stringent standard of cleanup which is likely to lower the overall cost of remediation. Therefore, the financial impacts of the Restrictive Notices appear likely be beneficial to the City. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the October 13 meeting, the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board voted unanimously to recommend Council adopt the ordinance. (Attachment 2) PUBLIC OUTREACH A 30-day public comment period is required by CDPHE and will be completed prior to second reading. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map (PDF) 2.
