11/9/00
The following is a description of the anticipated materials used and stored on our site which we
consider to have the potential to be flammable, hazardous, and/or toxic. Not being enrirely
knowledgeable about what does or doesn't qualify for these designations, we will error on the
c.onservative side and list any product that we think has that potential. We will defer to the
Poudre Fire Authority's review of this list for those actual determinations. We also will
welcome the requests and recominendations of the Poudre Fire Authority to improve the safety
of our storage and use of these materials. `
With each material listed we will describe, as best we know it, our intentions for using and
storing them; and the likely amounts.
1. gasoline
Gasoline will be used for operating a small tractor, snowblower, lawnmowers, and other
landseape maintenance equipment. Our intent is to store gasoline in four or five fve-
gallon containers (approved for storing gas). These coritainers would be initially stored on
the floor of a tool shed (approximately 10' x 10'). Within several years, we intend to
build a garage/shop structure of about 500 square feet, in .which the gasoline containers
would be stored. The tool shed and garageishop will both be located above the 500 year
FEMA flood elevation.
2. motor oil
It is probable that we will store small quantities, maybe a few cases, of motor oil in their
� original one-quart eontainers, for the maintenance of our vehicles and gardening power
toqls. This oil would be located in a eabinet initially in the tool shed, and later in the
garage/shop.
3. fertilizers
In general, we will be utilizing "organic" gardening techniques, with limited use of
synthetic fertilizers, and no use of high toxicity herbicides and pesticides. Although
relying primarily on compost and other organic fertilizers, we will occasionally use over-
the-counter syntheric fertilizers. These fertilizers would be for some combination of
nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, iron. , andlor miero-nutrients. If
these fertilizers were for use in the conservatory and/or greenhouse, they would be stored
in the main building's storage room in a cabinet or above the floor on a shelf. We would
estimate that there would be, at most, six or eight 50 pound bags stored at any one time.
If these fercilizers were for outside gardens and landscaping, they would be stored initially
in the tool shed arid later in the garage/shop. In this case, there could be as many as
twenty 50-pound bags stored at any one time.

4. herbicades
For the control of w�s, we will be relying on a variety of cultural techniques and safe
"organie" methods, rather than highly toxic synthetic chemicals. We do plan on having
to resort to using the approved, over-the-counter herbicides glyphosate (e.g. Round-up)
and glufosinate-ammonium (e.g. Finale), and it is possible, but unlikely thaf we would
use 2,4-D. These would be stored in their original containers, in small quantities of one
gallon of concentrate or less, in a cabinet initially in the tool shed and later in the
garage/shop.
5. pesticides
We will not be using any synthetic chemical pesticides, Instead, we will rely on a variety
of cultural teehniques and off=the-shelf low toxicity "organic" pest controls such as Neem
oil, Bacillus thuringiensis, diotomaceous earth, soap sprays, horticultural oils, and sulfur.
These would be stored in their original containers, in small quantities, in a cabinet in the
tool shed initially and later in the garage/shop.
6. cleaning products
We anticipate storing and using routine, over-the-counter commercial-strength cleaning
produets in the janitor's closet of the main building, to be used for cleaning the building.
7. paint, stain, varnish, etc. '
It is probable that we will accumulate a relatively small amount of paints, stains, and
similar wood f nish pmducts to be used for maintaining our building and site furnishings.
These would be stored in their original containers in a cabinet in the storage room of the
main building.
