August 14, 1991 Mr. James A. Cox Architecture Plus 318 East Oak Street Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 re: Conceptual Water Investigation Poudre Fire Authority Training Academy Larimer County, Colorado Project No. 9119.01 Dear Jim: At your request, Northern Engineering Services has conducted a conceptual investigation of the water supply for the proposed Fire "Training Academy to be operated by the Poudre Fire Authority. The project site is a 28-acre parcel located on the western end of Vine Drive, approximately 1,300 feet west of the intersection with Overland Trail. The site is generally flat, sloping gently downward to the northeast and is mostly covered with dryland grass. Existing water mains run north -south in an easement along the south half of the east boundary of the site. These mains are a 24-inch high pressure main belonging to the City of Fort Collins and a 48-inch low pressure main serving the Anheuser-Busch brewery, but maintained by the City of Fort Collins. East.of these lines, another 24-inch main belonging to North Weld County also runs north -south. Proposed site improvements consist of a Burn Tower for training fire fighters, six fire hydrants, a permanent pond for pumping into and out of, and separate men's and women's restrooms. Approximately 1,000 feet of roadway will provide access to the facilities. Mr. Mark Taylor, of the City of Fort Collins Water and Wastewater Department, has indicated that the project can tap both the 24-inch and the 48-inch mains. Provisions will have to be made in the final utility design to prevent cross -flow between these mains. Proposed water mains on the site will have to be sized at final design to accommodate flows anticipated at the fire hydrants. 420 S. Howes • Suite 106 • Fort Collins. Colorado 80521 • (303) 221-4158 Mr. James A. Cox August 14, 1991 page 2 Mr. Gene Chantler, of the Poudre Fire Authority, has indicated that a maximum flow 5,000 gallons per minute will be pumped from the fire hydrants during training and testing operations. This maximum flow would occur approximately two or three times per year and would last for two to three minutes. Required flows for the restrooms would easily be provided by a water distribution system sized to handle the flows described above. If you have any questions or comments regarding the preceding, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, NORTHERN ENCs NEERTNG�SERVICES, INC. Michael F.

The report went on: "CONCLUSIONS Current environmental data suggests that polyfunctional alcohols used in the Rosco smoke formulation have extremely low toxiciries and pose little, if any, health risk by the typical routes of exposure (inhalation, skin absorption, and ingestion)." This report verifies what thousands of users, along with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, have found. Nodding, but nothing, wrll work as well as Rosco Fog Fluids to produce a fog that is dry, non -irritating and reliable for performers, technicians or patrons. Scented Fog Fluids Rosco's range of scented fog fluids designed for use with all Rosco fog machines, offers special advantages for all special applications in live entertainment Scents currently available are: Pina Colada, Lemon, Tropical, Apple Blossom, Strawberry and Mint They have been carefully tested and approved for use in the Rosco system without affecting machine warranties or operation. Stage and Studio Fluid This special formulation offers the same safety features as standard Fog Fluid with two additional benefits for users in theatre and television. This fluid will produce fog which dissipates more quickly than the standard fluid. This is especially useful for theatrical or video applications where the effect must appear (and disappear) on cue. When chilled, Stage and Studio Fluid generates an excellent low-lying theatrical fog which dissipates quickly without rising in the air. 'HETA 88-117 Report, published by the Division of Surveillance, Hazard Evaluations and Feld Studies of the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Nom MEN Introducing the Rosco 4500v Talk about volume. Using the new Model 4500 is like having three Model 1500 machines in one case. This compact machine has a remarkable output of 4500 cubic feet of fog per minute. The 4500 contains three heat exchangers, all fed by a peristaltic pump. Electronic controls precisely regulate the speed of the pump, thereby controlling the volume of the fog. The Model 4500 features an internal 1'/z Titer tank for fluid. Users who prefer to feed fluid from larger external containers can do so easily with a simple hose connection. The internal tank is designed so that fluid level is visible from outside the machine. A full set of controls and indicator lights is positioned on the back of the machine where they are protected by a metal cover. A standard remote control is also included at no extra charge. An Academy Award Performance The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Rosco with an Academy Award for "the development of an improved non -toxic fluid for creating fog and smoke". Recognizing the benefits of this technical achievement, film and video crews everywhere have replaced oil formulations with Rosco fluid. Thy' 1.30, ho.sLo 5) 'I.:Cono y 1 o d e I If the bottom line is your top concern, you should consider Rosco's Model 1300 Fog Machine. Although its the least expensive of all the Rosco Fog Machines, there's no stinting on its quality. In fact, many of the same components used in both the 1500 and 4500 will be found in the 1300. Output of the 1300 is not continuous and may not fill your space as quickly as the 1500, but the price may suit your budget nicely. f ` -"�- nIle y ' - ��a�� SPd�'flFlllr& �; :�d1rkE'!iIVLC':' ACADEMY 5C:E.NTIFIC AND ENG;NEERI.%G AWARD ro CL"'VTiIER 5H4/DT AND R05C0 LAACR4TCR1E5. 1VCOP.PORAT£D.
